Chapter 985: The Hundred Years' Long-cherished Wish Now Repaid (Part 2)
The situation in the Nanyuan Dawang Mansion has been settled, but the chaos elsewhere in Youzhou City is intensifying. With the continuous rush of Song cavalry, the entire Nanjing City of Liao Kingdom has been completely in chaos.
After a hundred years of peace, the people of Liao Kingdom had long known how to deal with this sudden attack and accident. Someone screamed and ran to the streets, and was directly knocked over by the cavalry that rushed over. However, more people hid at home, closed the courtyard gate, and kept praying and chanting Buddha's name, begging the gods and Buddhas all over the sky to show their spirits to save themselves...
The hundreds of thousands of people in this city were like hundreds of thousands of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they could not pose any threat to the thousands of Song cavalry who entered Youzhou. They did attack the people, but instead rushed straight to those key yamen and several military camps of garrisons. Among them, the military camp near the South Gate became the first key target for the soldiers to conquer.
Nearly a thousand cavalrymen were now led by Dong Ping and Huang Xin and other generals, and then they collided with the Liao soldiers who were also shouting and rushing out of the camp. Without any hesitation, the elite cavalry had already rushed forward and rushed straight to the enemy with the most favorable attack. In just one round, the Liao army, which had more than 2,000 people who had not prepared much, was directly dispersed.
Dong Ping's eyes were like torches, and he immediately saw the main general located in front of the Liao army. He immediately slapped and immediately snatched the ball. The left pistol only swayed for a moment, attracting the opponent to swing his knife to resist. The right pistol was like a poisonous dragon, and he came from behind from the bottom first, and immediately penetrated the opponent's waist and abdomen.
The Liao general screamed and fell down, which was shocked by the subordinates around him, and the team was defeated in an instant. As mentioned before, the Liao army left behind were all composed of old, weak and remnants, and their combat power and discipline were far inferior to the main force of the Liao army. When they encountered such a sudden attack and were killed in the same situation as the main general, it was difficult for them to have any resistance. They had already fled in a scattered manner, leaving no obstacles in front of Dong Ping's troops.
He made a quick decision and after a few orders, he led his troops directly into the barracks and rushed towards the Liao soldiers who were still staying here. The barracks had four or five thousand soldiers, and there were two or three thousand left in the barracks at this moment. When they heard the movement and came out to see in surprise, they saw such a terrible cavalry rushing over like a tiger going down the mountain. They screamed in surprise, leaving only the idea of escaping and did not dare to resist at all.
As a result, a scene that was enough to make countless people in the Liao and Song dynasties stunned. The Song army, which had only a thousand, could continue to pursue and kill enemies in the Liao army camp, which was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, without any resistance. In a moment, hundreds of Liao soldiers died on the spot. Others also followed the Song army soldiers shouting that they would kneel down to death.
In just half an hour, the military camp here at the South Gate had been completely wiped out, and nearly 5,000 Liao troops either died or fled. The rest were tied up by their own people and locked up in barracks. Until this time, the soldiers still felt a little unbelievable: "Is this the powerful enemy of the Liao people who have troubled me for many years? How could it become so vulnerable?"
Although Dong Ping was also moved, he knew that it was not the time to investigate these inside stories. He immediately ordered: "Leave two hundred brothers to guard these Liao people, and the others follow me to fight elsewhere. Be sure to seize more important military camps before the Liao people react further!"
The soldiers immediately agreed loudly, their morale was three points higher than before, and the little anxiety and concerns that had existed for the Liao people were completely thrown away by them. So, eight hundred cavalrymen boarded their horses again, rushed out like a whirlwind, and rushed straight to the next target.
The same battles were still happening everywhere in Youzhou City. In this raid, almost all the Liao army was about to collapse. Few teams could confront the elite Shandong army head-on. Often, only one assault was required to kill more than a dozen or twenty people in front of them. The hundreds or thousands of Liao army would immediately collapse and flee in scattered places, so that everyone would become prey with no ability to resist and let the Song army chase after him.
The battle situation did not change until the Song army reached the barracks near Ximen. A bunch of horses rushed out with the sound of trumpets. With a command, a rare rain of arrows poured on the general of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry led by Hua Rong. He shot all the twenty or thirty cavalry that rushed in the front and fell off the horse, which also made the cavalry in the rear stop and rushed forward, looking over with cavalry with cavalry.
Among the Liao army opposite, a general in his forties immediately ordered: "Continue to shoot the enemy with bows and arrows, and divide them into left and right to cover them. Our troops are far superior to the enemy and we can completely encircle them!" This person is the rare general in the military camps in the city who is still in his position.
Because this Liao army had the command of the commander calmly, it was indeed very different from other troops. Not only did it advance and retreat in moderation, it was much more courageous. Even if the bow and arrow could not be used twice, they could no longer use it. They still rushed forward fiercely, separated from left and right, and directly attacked the two wings of the Song army.
Seeing this, Hua Rong felt nervous and quickly ordered the entire army to rush forward, but he was trying to defeat the enemy in front of him first. However, with a few orders, the Liao army in front of him suddenly set up a guard formation and steadily blocked the assault of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which made their steps stop immediately.
At the same time, the Liao soldiers attacking from both sides had already arrived. As the shouts were like two sharp blades piercing straight into the flank of the Song army, they were in a hurry and could only turn attacks into defense and retreat towards the rear.
"The enemy retreats, come with me!" Seeing this, Strange Xi shouted loudly, and personally slapped the horse and slapped it. The brave performance of the main general immediately inspired the fighting spirit of the Liao army around him. They all screamed, and rushed towards the Song army like a wolf pack in desperate situations. The enemy could only retreat step by step, and the casualties continued to increase.
Although Hua Rong wanted to capture the king first, the heavy rain made his sharpest weapon, bow and arrow useless. He tried to fight with strangers several times, but he was blocked by the Liao soldiers who were constantly surrounding and killing. In the end, he only picked up several Liao soldiers, but instead had a few scars on his body.
Just when Hua Rong was in a tough battle and was in a bad situation, there were bursts of shouting and screaming from the streets on the side. Then, a Liao army with a messy armor that dragged and even abandoned weapons was rushing towards this side like a desperate attempt. Behind them, hundreds of cavalry were following closely, and the first young general was Yue Fei.
When the four soldiers suddenly met here, they were all terrified, but Yue Fei was the first to make a judgment. He shouted loudly and rushed towards the stranger Xi in front of the enemy formation. Seeing that the general Song was coming with great force, the stranger Xi felt even more nervous. He quickly ordered his subordinates to divide their troops to resist, and then shouted: "If you want to survive, join our army and defeat the enemy with me!"
When the Liao soldiers who were chased to the sky and had no way to enter the ground, they were also excited when they saw that there were actually troops and horses that could counterattack the Song army. They immediately ran forward and merged into the middle of the team. At this time, Yue Fei finally rode his horse to kill, and his spear trembled thousands of waves in the rain. Tens of thousands of gun shadows suddenly stabbed all the seven or eight enemies who were killed in front of him and wanted to block them. However, his forward momentum was not slow at all, and he just stabbed the stranger tin with blood all the way.
Stranger Xi also quickly saw the gap in strength between him and the Song general. He dared not fight, so he quickly rode his horse backwards, and shouted repeatedly: "Attack his horse, we..." Before he finished speaking, a sharp sharp edge had already attacked from the front. Although he dodged immediately, he was still a little late. With a puff sound, a broken spear hit his shoulder.
The momentum was extremely strong, and he almost beat the stranger to the point of falling off the horse. But even though he was not caught, he was seriously injured on the spot. His entire right arm was completely lost and his face turned pale.
At the same time, Hua Rong in front also yelled and rushed forward again after making this spear: "The enemy general has been severely damaged by me, kill him!"
It turned out that Hua Rong had never given up on killing the enemy's chief general. He took advantage of Yue Fei's arrival to attract the enemy's attention and shot the broken spear out by shooting arrows. Because the distance between the two sides was not far, although the spear was a little bit floating, it still hit the target.
The injury also immediately extinguished the momentum that the Liao army had just accumulated. Especially when there were more defeated troops in the Liao army who had just escaped, the situation became even more uncontrollable. After seeing the Song army in front and side rushing over again, they screamed decisively, turned around and ran backwards.
The battle between the two armies relies on that momentum. Once someone escapes, it will cause the whole army to shake and even collapse. And the stranger Xi, who should have stopped this move, was suddenly seriously injured and could not react in time. He could only see the nearly five thousand army defeated by less than two thousand Song troops. He roared helplessly. Taking advantage of the opportunity that Yue Fei was blocked by his subordinates, he turned his horse's head with his left arm, shouted: "Go back to the military camp..." and ran back.
At this point, the morale of the army is in chaos and it is impossible to suppress these enemies. Moreover, judging by the current riots in the city, the Song army is probably going to take control of the whole city. He can only make the wisest choice, return to the western barracks that he is most familiar with, rely on the terrain and village walls there to resist the Song army's offensive, and at least retain a territory belonging to the Liao Dynasty for Nanjing.
