Chapter 999 - Prepared?
In the sound of rapid horns, in a rapid wave of flags, whether it was on the mountains and forests, or in the canyon and mountain roads, the Liao army understood the commander's intentions and began to retreat towards the exit to the south of the mountain gorge with all their might. It's just that their actions have also been blocked, and the Liao soldiers on the mountain naturally have to face the crazy pursuit and obstruction of the Jin soldiers in the rear, while the Liao soldiers below have become more chaotic because the "enemies" in front of them are all their own people.
They were already in a place with these panicked clansmen who had already panicked, filling almost the entire valley, and every step forward would cost them great strength. And what makes people feel even more powerless is that they still can't put down their hearts to kill these clansmen who are blocking their progress, so they can only coerce them, and move forward crookedly, far from being compared with the soldiers and horses above.
Located in the middle of the ridge, the retreat of Yelu Dashi's department was quite smooth, at least the attack of the Jin soldiers did not threaten them, and the people who could be left by his side to listen to were naturally all the elites of the Liao army, even in such a harsh environment, he still maintained his calm and flexible skills, escorting him to retreat quickly, constantly approaching the southern exit.
It's just that in the process of retreating, Yelu Dashi's heart has become a mess, and too many questions keep circling in his mind - why did the Jin soldiers who should have been ambushed become their own Liao, and why did the elite of the Jin army stay in the fortress as if they knew that they were ambushed here, and only waited for the Liao army to come out in the rear? Where did the main forces of the Jin Army go? How did they guess this, and what kind of variables would emerge next?
He couldn't find the answers to countless questions at the moment, so he could only run south in a hurry, and at the same time the fear in his heart became bigger and bigger: - If Jin Bing has a problem, what about the Song people? Song Jun, who had promised to cooperate with Da Liao before, would he suddenly turn the spearhead and attack himself at this moment? Or is everything here a bureau set up by the Song and Jin countries in order to completely annihilate their own troops? If this is the case, will he face even greater murder if he leads his troops out?
Yes, when encountering such an accident, the reason why Yelu Dashi immediately chose to flee south is that there is still an ambush of the Song army there, in order to deal with the Jin soldiers, this time the Song and Liao sides have laid a huge pocket array and sent more than 100,000 troops here. In addition to the 50,000 or 60,000 Liao troops on the mountains on both sides, there are also 50,000 or 60,000 Song troops waiting for the enemy at the southern exit.
But now, the doubts in his heart have made Yelu Dashi even more frightened, if he really thinks that there is a worst result, I am afraid that Da Liao will be doomed! But now, they have no choice but to bet that the Song people have not betrayed them, and go all out to join their imaginary allies.
Finally, a team that rushed to the front had run out of the valley, and as they shouted, continuous drums and trumpets began to sound at the valley mouth, banners were unfurled, and soldiers and horses were crowded, and it was the Song army that began to react. What made Yelu Dashi breathe a sigh of relief was that the Song army did not attack his own soldiers and horses at this juncture, but quickly sent troops to respond, and a large number of soldiers and horses set up a formation at Gukou to deal with the Jin soldiers killed in the rear.
Fortunately, the Song people were still reliable, but their strategy went wrong and were discovered by the Jin, so that the ambush did not come true, but messed up their own position. In the formation of the Song army in the valley, when the seed division saw this scene, he was also stunned for a while, and then calmly gave orders one by one, and then the catapults hidden in the woods behind also began to move forward continuously, and lined up at the bottom of the mountain, behind them, there were countless busy Song troops, began to load shells in an orderly manner. Oddly enough, this time they filled the net pockets behind the catapult with not regular stones, but pitch-black clay pots and a large number of fist-sized ceramic bottles.
In their continuous preparations, Yelu Dashi also led his troops to run down from above, his face was full of chagrin and eagerness, and he shouted loudly at the seed master: "General, the Jurchens are too fast, we have to think of a way to deal with ......it" Speaking of this, his eyes fell on those catapults with some astonishment: "You only prepared these, don't you plan to use heavy troops to defend it?" ”
"It's not necessary, it's enough to have these weapons, especially now that the enemy is still in the mountains and forests." The eyes of the seed master were full of killing intent, and he said decisively: "The means of my Great Song soldiers are far higher than what you imagined in Dashi Linya!" ”
"Newspaper - the enemy is only three hundred steps away from me!" A soldier who was observing the distance from the rear shouted. When the seed master heard this, he didn't care to explain more for Yelu Dashi, so he only gave a decisive order: "Ignite the fire!" ”
At the rear of the catapults, the soldiers had already set fire to the nets filled with ceramic bottles, and the catapults with clay pots suddenly bounced up with a shout, throwing hundreds of clay pots into the air and blasting towards the Jin soldiers who were constantly approaching on the ridges on both sides.
After the crockpots were tossed into the air, the other catapults also threw the porcelain vases in their net pockets, and followed closely behind, raining downwards.
"Can these things really be done?" Seeing this scene, Yelu Dashi was full of doubts. Not only him, but also those Liao soldiers who had just escaped from the valley did not have much confidence to mutter similar words in their hearts, but their eyes still followed those bottles and cans closely to see what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Song people.
Wan Yan Moli's face was full of hideousness, and he jumped forward as fast as a cheetah in the forest. The uneven ground on this mountain, the grass and trees and strange rocks rising everywhere, were completely no different from the flat ground to him. Because since he was sensible, he followed his father to hunt bears and tigers with such outstanding skills in the white mountains and black waters, and countless fights have long made him accustomed to such a Mercedes-Benz.
Like him, the thousands of Jin Kingdom warriors in the rear were also advancing at full speed there, and they could still have the spare strength to slaughter the Liao soldiers who were left behind like pigs and sheep. These Liao people are really ridiculous, do they really think that setting up an ambush here can defeat the Dajin warriors led by themselves? This time, he wanted to let the Liao people, as well as those Song people hiding behind the valley, know the power of the warriors of the Jin Kingdom, let them use their lives and blood to make a confession, and let them know what the fate of betraying the Jurchens would be!
"There should be tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the front of the Song army, but don't be afraid, we used to be able to defeat 100,000 Liao troops by 10,000 people on the battlefield, and the Song people are even more unbearable than the Liao people, and they will definitely collapse at the moment of engagement with us, and then it will be our killing time!" When Wan Yan Moli saw the Song army waiting at the mouth of the valley, he roared loudly, cheering for the soldiers in the rear.
These words immediately caused a clamor of the golden soldiers in the rear, and everyone began to howl, and the pace of the charge was faster, like a wolf hungry to see its prey, like a broken arrow, galloping at full speed, unstoppable. Even if they saw the countless black shadows roaring towards them, they were still completely unafraid—weren't they just some stones, and how much damage could these weapons do in this mountain forest?
The corners of Wan Yan Moli's mouth pulled out a sneer, and he even muttered in his heart: "Ah Guda is still too cautious, and he actually adopted the strategy of vultures, which is really a superfluous move." If this time it was our whole army assault, it would be enough to kill all the Song Liao soldiers and horses in front of us, but this time we could only defeat them, and we couldn't have fun! ”
Just when this thought first arose, the banging sound had already appeared all around, but this still did not slow down the Jin soldiers, because the jars that fell first did not cause any damage to the Jin soldiers at all, most of them hit the dense branches and trunks, all of them became fragments, even if there were leaks and fell, they only broke the heads of a few soldiers, and the lethality was too small.
"What a taste ......"
"What's in these jars, and how slimy are they...... but some of the soldiers had some liquid on their heads and bodies, and they felt a little weird.
No sooner had they shouted than another group of shadows had fallen, much smaller than the crockpots, but they seemed to be on fire.
"This is ......" Jin Bing looked at the fallen bottles in surprise, and some people subconsciously waved their knives and slashed them.
"Bang-boom!" At the moment when the knife hit the bottle, the fire burst out and exploded with a bang. First one, then one piece, hundreds of bottles exploded around the Jin Bing, and then countless fine iron sand shot in all directions, driven by the potential energy of gunpowder, like sharp arrows through the body of the defenseless Jin Bing, who was only wearing simple clothes.
The hundreds of golden soldiers who bore the brunt of the attack suddenly fell like rag bags, and at the same time, the screams on the ridges on both sides were even more howling. Even if it is a brave warrior, under such a heavy blow, he will let out a heart-rending scream, as for the Jin soldier who was still bent on killing the enemy and making meritorious service just now, and did not take the Song army to heart at all, his face has been shot into a sieve by fine iron sand, and he died in a pool of his own blood before he could make a scream.
Almost instantly, the elite of this golden army was completely chaotic, the momentum of the forward rush was completely stopped, and everyone was scurrying around like headless flies.
Then, an even more terrifying scene happened, the fire brought by the explosion had ignited the diesel fuel that flowed out of the crockpot just now, almost after a few breaths, this mountain forest had become a sea of fire, and the fire also spread, like two fire dragons, straight up and down the two ridges, and also swallowed all the golden army......
Seeing this, the Liao army under the mountain finally breathed a sigh of relief, thanks to the Song army's move, otherwise they would definitely not be the opponent of those Jin soldiers. In the midst of it, Yelu Dashi's face was solemn, and he had another thought: "Song Jun's response is so timely and appropriate, it seems that he has been prepared for this for a long time, but why don't I know it at all?" Thinking of this, his gaze unconsciously looked at the seed division in the Song army's array.
