Chapter 919: The Calm Before the Rainstorm

It was less than two hours before and after the battle, and the sun had just reached the middle of the sky, shining in all directions.

However, the main soldiers of the Song army bathed in the warm spring sun were all sweaty and pale, and a few of them were unhelpful, and even their legs were trembling slightly. Because the danger and fierceness of this battle in front of them is really beyond their imagination.

"Is the Liao Army (Western Army) so strong? If we were to fight it, would we really be able to survive these two hours? Many people have such thoughts in their minds unconsciously, and the answer is undoubtedly no.

Although they had fought several head-on battles with the Liao army before, and even were defeated by the enemy head-on last year, they had never seen the impact of the Liao army's Xuanjia iron cavalry like a torrent of steel. In front of such terrible cavalry, the spear array that the Song army was proud of would be pierced like paper, right?

This kind of thinking is not born by one or two people, but almost all the generals have this thought, and they suddenly have a sense of cowardice in their hearts. Sure enough, it was a big mistake to confront the Liao army head-on in the field, and our Great Song soldiers were most accustomed to defending the city, relying on the absolute geographical advantage to deal with the powerful Liao cavalry.

Even Tong Guan, the boss, was already shaken in confidence at this moment, and he didn't dare to order troops to rescue the Western Army in front at will. Of course, he had such an idea not only because he was intimidated by the strong combat power of the Liao army, but also because he was afraid of the Western army.

This western army has exploded into combat power far beyond his imagination under the hands of the second elder of the plantation family, is such an army really something he can control? Do you need to borrow the hand of the enemy to weaken them in order to prevent future troubles?

Therefore, Tong Guan is still just a courtier in the final analysis, even if he has some military talent, but his thinking can never reach the height that a general should have. At all times, he has his own interests in mind, not to do everything he can to achieve ultimate victory.

Because they couldn't control the Western Army before and fought with it, they became another enemy, not a comrade-in-arms of the Song Army. When this kind of thinking is together, what he thinks about is not only to achieve victory over the Liao army, but also to remove hidden dangers - of course, this may also be that he was really frightened by the strength of the Liao army, and everything is just to find an excuse for not daring to send troops.

The panicked and frightened reactions of the surrounding generals all fell into Sun Tu's eyes, making his heart sink suddenly. If he was still a little suspicious of the request of the farmer a few days ago, now he has to think about whether he can influence those soldiers and take them to help the Western Army.

Counting on the already timid guys around him to lead the troops to rush out, I am afraid that it is more likely than letting the Western Army defeat the Liao Army on its own. At least judging from the battle just now, the combat strength of the Western Army may not be under the Liao Army, and such a head-on confrontation will not be inferior.

At the same time, Sun Tu also made a clear judgment in his heart that the Shandong army he built by himself did have a certain gap with the two Song Liao elites, at least in a head-to-head duel, even the Qingzhou army was afraid that it would not be able to defeat the Liao army. Of course, if those firearms are used, the situation is not easy to say. As far as Sun Tu knows, in the past few years, Jiangnan has developed several new weapons according to his own will, but he doesn't know how powerful these firearms made by craftsmen thousands of years ago are? There were thousands of thoughts in his heart, but Sun Tu's footsteps slowly moved, and he came to Qin Kang, who also had a solemn face, and now in the military camp, he had the closest relationship with this general who had saved his life.

"What does General Qin think about this battle?" Sun Tu asked softly.

This sentence made Qin Dare calm down from the shock of Shicai, and said with a wry smile: "The combat strength of the Liao army is far above our army, if it is a head-to-head confrontation, we will have no chance of winning." In front of Sun Tu, he also told the truth.

Sun Tu was silent, and after a while, he said, "Does the Western Army have a chance of winning?" ”

"If this is the full strength of the Liao army, there is a forty percent chance of victory. But if they have any reservations......" he sighed. Because in his opinion, the latter is very likely, otherwise the Liao army would not suddenly stop and retreat, which is clearly brewing the next wave of more ferocious offensives.

Sun Tu's hand couldn't help but clench the saber on his waist: "Then let's just look at it?" Once the Western Army is defeated, it will be the turn of our Chinese Army to suffer......"

Qin Dang glanced at Sun Tu thoughtfully: "What does General Sun mean?" ”

"Even if the combat strength on my side is far inferior to the front, this battle is related to the overall victory or defeat, and even my Great Song Dynasty National Fortune, I should let go and send troops to rescue." Sun Tu slowly said what he meant: "Or to cooperate with the Western Army, after all, our strength is still above the Liao Army." ”

A bitter smile climbed up Qin Kang's face again, and he swept around: "If you are timid, how can you fight?" Moreover, Tong Shuai is afraid that he will not take this risk. ”

As a confidant general who has followed Tong Guan for many years, Qin Dare naturally knows his personality and military habits extremely well. At this time, I am afraid that his most likely choice is to defend the camp to the death, and then watch the Western Army and the Liao Army lose both. Because at least there are still some defensive weapons available in the camp, and once they do kill them, they will have nothing to rely on.

Sun Tu's face became more and more gloomy: "Is there really no way?" Even you can't convince Tong Shuai to change his mind? ”

"Impossible." Qin Dare shook his head resolutely, he didn't dare to touch this nail.

As he spoke, a gust of north wind suddenly blew a large dark cloud, and in the blink of an eye, the scorching sun overhead was obscured, although there was no thunder and lightning, but looking at the situation, a rare rainstorm was about to come suddenly. Just like the mood of all the soldiers in the Song Army Dazhai at this moment!

In the Western Army formation in front, the bloodied seed scripture was kneeling on the ground, his face full of self-blame: "Two grandfathers, grandchildren should die, I was confused for a while, and I actually led people to counterattack, which caused the death of many soldiers and killed Fourth Uncle Jiang...... I am willing to accept military justice and apologize for my crimes with death! After saying that, he knocked down and waited for the hair to fall.

"You...... It's ridiculous! Do you know how many soldiers were killed to save you? Old man, old man really regrets bringing you here, killing you is not enough to give an explanation to the soldiers! The face of the planter was full of grief and anger, his grandson had really made an unforgivable mistake, and he really hated to give an order, so he dragged it forward and cut it down.

But he knows more about how many people have been desperately rescued, if he really kills him like this, will it affect morale, not to mention, and sorry for those soldiers who died in battle. Thinking of Jiang Wukui and the others going forward to save this son and killing themselves, he felt a pang of cramps in his heart.

"Well, what's the use of talking about it now." Seed Master Dao suddenly spoke, looking at the seed scripture kneeling in front of him: "Zhengqing, if you are a man of my Western Army, you shouldn't be in such a cozy state, your life is exchanged for so many people, you should cherish it, use this useful body to kill the enemy, and make their death worthwhile!" You look up! ”

"Grandpa......" Seed Jing Huo Di raised his head and looked at the seed master in front of him, "Can I fight again?" ”

"What? After only a little setback, do you want to hide behind us like a? My Western Army men can die, but they must not be afraid! Even if you die, you have to die with dignity! Do you still dare to fight? ”

"Of course I dare, I want to avenge Fourth Uncle Jiang and them, kill Liao Dog!" The seed scripture shouted loudly.

"Then stand up, grab your weapons, and mount!" The planter said and swept over the crowd again: "The battle has just begun, and soon, the enemy will come again, and we have no way to retreat, only this battle!" The Western Army, victory! ”

Although he was wounded, the blood did not stop, but he still jumped up from the ground, took the spear handed by him, raised it high, and shouted: "I can still fight, I will not retreat!" The Western Army, victory! ”

"The Western Army, victory! The Western Army, victory! The Western Army, victory! First a small number of people, then the same roar continued to spread, and finally tens of thousands of Western troops roared almost at the same time, and the declaration of victory soared into the sky, almost shaking away the dark clouds that had obscured the sun.

When he heard the thunderous roar, Tong Guan's face changed again: "Western Army...... Hey, Western Army...... "At this time, in his eyes, the title of Western Army has become a big taboo, and these people don't even regard themselves as Great Song Dynasty soldiers?

In the Liao military camp ten miles away, Yelu Dashi and Yelu Xiongge looked solemn: "This Song army is really a group of admirable opponents, they are stronger than any Song army we have encountered before." ”

"Yes, it's just that the stronger they are, the more we have to fight quickly and defeat them!"

"By the way, is the setup ready over there?" Jerushuga asked suddenly.

The cronies on the side immediately stepped forward: "Back to the king, everything is ready." Today, as calculated by Dashi Linya, there is another heavy rain, and at that time, the time and place are favorable, which can help me break the Song army! ”

"Good!" Yelu Xiongge was even more determined in his heart: "Today's big victory, we will have no worries, we can go back to the north of the division and help the court quell the Jurchen rebellion!" ”

Yelu Dashi didn't have much joy on his face, but said softly: "Let's defeat the enemy in front of you first." If we can't completely defeat the Song army, then we will have to stalemate with them for a while. At that point, there will be a lot of variables. ”

After a pause, he frowned again and said: "Also, the main general of the Song army in front of him is a famous brother of the seed family, although we have a follow-up move, but it is not so easy to defeat them in one go, maybe there are still variables." ”

"Then strike first. Blow the trumpet, attack! Jerushhung immediately ordered.

At the same time as the trumpet sounded again, the first raindrops fell from the sky and smashed between the two armies, which were still bleeding.

Fight, Rise Again!
