Chapter 112 Imaginary Parrot Continent-1
"Jurchen battalion, out of battle!"
"Xiao Dutong," the marshal asked you to lead your troops to copy the Song army! ”
Xiao Tachi waved his hand to let the herald officer go back, turned over and got on his horse, he didn't answer, only looked down at Yan Zongbi coldly.
"Mark my words!" Wanyan Zongbi took two steps forward and grabbed the reins of his war horse with one hand.
He was a little worried that the Murbo people would not go all out and let the Song people drag the artillery up the mountain, in that case, the Jurchen camp that was deep in the enemy formation would be in danger of the Jurchen camp. Since escaping in the Battle of Yingchang, all Jurchens have been disqualified from riding horses. For the self-proclaimed proud sons of heaven and grew up on horseback, this is a punishment that borders on humiliation. The collateral consequence is that once the Liao army is defeated, the Jurchens will never be able to escape. Xiao Ta Chigui is the concubine of His Majesty Dashi, and Wanyan Zongbi is just a surrendered Liaodong barbarian king. But in fact, Wanyan Zongbi knew that they were all barbarians in the eyes of the Khitans. The Khitans fully accepted the concept of the Four Yi of the Celestial Empire, but in their minds, the Celestial Empire was the Liao State, while the other races were the Four Yi.
"If you don't want to die," Xiao Tachi leaned down and said, "Do your part!" ”
Wanyan Zongbi's face changed. Xiao Tachi didn't pay attention to him anymore, lifted the reins of the horse, and shouted: "Drive!" ”
The war horse neighed, raised its head and hooves, and scurried out. Wanyan Zongbi was led by the war horse and staggered two steps, and almost fell to the ground, and the Murbo horsemen ignored the person standing on the ground, and urged the horse loudly, following closely behind Xiao Tachi. The furious war horse snorted, one after another swept by, Wan Yan Zongbi took a few steps back to avoid being knocked down by the war horse, he frowned and looked at the Urbo cavalry passing by.
Most of the iron armor worn by the Murb cavalry was captured from the Song Kingdom, and the skirt armor and the sides of the thighs were covered with light thick leather armor. Although the robes and armor were disorganized, the helmet was of the unique shape of the Murb, a pointed helmet like an inverted wine glass, a short tongue, a horsetail on the top of the helmet, and a thick fur covering the entire helmet, which hung down along the rim of the helmet, enclosing the entire back of the ears and neck. In the Liao army, the Murbo people were a special group. They spoke the same language as the Khitans, had a common ancestor, and while being regarded as barbarians by the Liao, Yelu Dashi greatly admired the Murbo tribe for preserving the barbaric and fierce ancient style. Therefore, Yelu Dashi encouraged intermarriage between the Khitans and the Murbos. He gave him the surname Xiao and recruited him as a colt.
"Follow me!" Xiao Tachi raised his scimitar, and the soldiers behind him raised their swords towards the sky, which was the shape of Haidu Khan. The Mlb cavalry shouted loudly. More than 20,000 cavalry bypassed the Liao and Song armies that were fighting like wolves, and went straight to the rear of the Song army. In the eyes of the Song army guarding the hills, all the incoming cavalry came overwhelmingly. Because it was only a military affair for vigilance, there were only two battalions of soldiers and horses and four three-inch guns on the hill. The fortifications were only half-man's antlers, and the horses could leap over them. The guards made the horse support stare at the enemy horseman, and one person turned pale and subconsciously looked around, but no one fled.
"Not good!" Lu Mingyu's face changed, "The Liao thief wants to seize the fort!" "The generals under Zhao Xingde all know the power of artillery. However, the front army was fighting fiercely with the Liao cavalry, and the musketeers had already stabbed the cavalry who were charging into the phalanx. The cavalry of the Liao army seemed to have gone crazy, and attacked the front army at the cost of casualties.
"Lu Zuoshuai!" Shi Jingkui said loudly, "The hill fort is dangerous! ”
"I know! Flag the rear army and rescue the artillery barracks! Lu Mingyu said loudly, "The thunder thrower battalion stands up!" ”
The Mine-thrower Battalion, which had been sitting cross-legged in the left army to rest, stood up, and under the gloomy sky, the cold light of the iron armor like flowing water still shone. This is the last hole card of the left army. Since Zhao Xingde left, the generals did not belong to each other, and the battalion guarding the hill belonged to the left army, Lu Mingyu didn't know if Luo Xianshi would go all out to rescue, he made the worst plan.
Lu Mingyu gritted his teeth and prepared to send the mine-thrower battalion to rescue the artillery base. "Zuo Shuai!" Someone shouted, "Tight ahead!" "What?" Lu Mingyu frowned, looked at the front, the battle situation changed again, the offensive Liao cavalry also retreated like a tide, leaving only countless corpses of men and horses in front of the formation, however, under the cover of the cavalry, the brigade of heavily armored infantry attacked again. "Damn it, an inexhaustible Liao dog!" As soon as the musketeer inserted the spear, he fought with the Liao army's foot soldiers.
The two sides shouted loudly, screaming, white blades contacted, flesh and blood flying, the cavalry of the Liao army followed behind the foot soldiers, constantly throwing arrows at the rear of the Song army, and the Song army gunners also set up fire guns diagonally upward, and continued to fire at the cavalry above their heads. The situation on the battlefield was extremely chaotic, most of the arrows of the Liao cavalry fell in the Song army's formation, but they also killed many Jurchens, and the fire guns flew in all directions. Under the strong attack of the Liao army, the right flank of the front line has fallen into a melee, and the musketeers either gathered in a small group, or back to back, and the Liao army infantry who broke into the formation fought hand-to-hand, and every moment, someone fell down with a wail.
"Rush in and kill in the depths!" Wan Yan Zongbi shouted sharply, his face was hideous, and his clothes and armor were stained with blood.
Just now, he personally led a group of personal soldiers, armed with big axes and maces, and broke through the right flank of the front of the Song army, which was full of spears, at the cost of death and injury. The offensive and defensive trends were different, the Song army could only defend on all fronts, while the Liao army seemed to be attacking the front of the Song army at the same time, but Wanyan Zongbi pressed all the elites on the right flank. He wanted to take advantage of the time when the Song army could not react, break through the right flank in one fell swoop, and then turn to the left, guide the cavalry to rampage, and crush the entire Song army's front.
"Rush!" Wanyan Zongbi wiped a handful of blood from his face, turned around and shouted, "Defeat them, the Jurchens are the first credit!" ”
The morale of the soldiers around him was greatly boosted, and they also shouted together: "Jurchen first merit!" "This group of soldiers is all wearing two layers of iron armor. Yelu Dashi didn't believe in the Jurchens, but the hundreds of armors he gave him were of the highest quality, and the armor pieces could be distinguished, arrows could not be pierced, and knives were difficult to penetrate. The Song army was in close contact with him, and he immediately suffered a big loss. The Jurchens almost all the way through a battalion of firecrackers. In the midst of the heavy casualties, some of the musketeers finally lost their strength and began to retreat. The cavalry behind saw the opportunity and hurried their horses to come. In combat, the Liao people paid the most attention to seizing the fighter planes and expanding a breakthrough into an overwhelming victory.
"Run—" "This battle is lost!" "Let's run for our lives!"
The officers suffered a large number of casualties, and the fear spread faster than the plague, and more firecrackers turned and fled, which soon expanded into the collapse of a campfireman, and just before the Liao cavalry rushed to it, the collapse of the firecrackers in the formation was tantamount to asking for their own death. Lu Mingyu can no longer care about the gains and losses of the rescue forts, if he can't stop the collapse of the right flank, he is afraid that the left army will be finished immediately.
"Xia Biao, his grandmother's!" Lu Mingyu scolded loudly, "That's the battalion you brought out?" The right wing is all bear bags! He shouted a few times in a row, and after waiting for a while, Xia Biao didn't come over to obey the order, Lu Mingyu was about to get angry, and his own soldiers ran back to report: "Zuo Shuai, General Xia rushed out to save the right wing." ”
"What?" Lu Mingyu was shocked and angry, "Where is he?" Without waiting for the soldiers to answer, Lu Mingyu had already seen Xia Biao's back. Almost all the battalions under Xia Biao were placed on the front line. As a commander, he didn't even say hello to Lu Mingyu, so he rushed out in person. On the right flank, not only did a large group of Liao army heavy armored foot soldiers pour in, but there were also cavalry galloping closer in the distance, and Xia Biao couldn't stop it no matter what.
"Bastard thing!" Lu Mingyu scolded, "The thunder thrower battalion is out of battle to rescue the right wing!" ”
"Bastard, what about your guts? We are the Righteous Army! At this time, Xia Biao alone carried the flag that was thrown on the ground, and shouted hoarsely, "Have all the guts been eaten by dogs?" We are the Baoyi Army, and Zhao Dashuai is watching you! Coward! Coward! The hometown fathers are watching you! Several of his own soldiers surrounded him, blocking the rout, and at the same time carefully preventing the rebels from rioting and hurting people. Most of the rout army fled with others, and the commander made Xia Biao suddenly appear on the battlefield and shouted a fierce battle, causing many of the rout troops to stop, gather around the military flag and Xia Biao, and spontaneously set up a circle formation according to the usual drill training, and the guns were all stabbed, like hedgehogs facing the outside.
The firecrackers who were surrounded turned pale. "Desperate!" Xia Biao shouted loudly, "Everyone must die if they die!" He had already handed over the military flag to his own soldiers, picked up a gun with his own hands, commanded the gunners in the array to load ammunition, and fired the guns at the Jurchens outside the array. Although the gun is not as long as the bow and arrow, it can penetrate the iron armor when fired at close range.
Almost a moment later, the Liao army rushed to the front. "Kill!" Many shouted, "Kill them!" Seeing the hedgehogs gathered together, the heavily armored infantry soldiers surrounded one after another, and part of the Liao army continued to rush to the west, while the other part of the Liao army surrounded the hedgehog array of the Song army. Not far away, the sound of hooves sounded like thunder, and countless Liao cavalry rushed here like wolves smelling blood.
At this time, "boom-" "boom-" "boom-" explosions rang out, countless gunpowder smoke rose up, and in the choking smoke, many Liao army heavy-armored foot soldiers fell to the ground with blood on their faces, and the fragments of the earth-shattering thunder flew in all directions, and even the iron armor could not resist it.
"The Thunder Thrower is here!" The besieged Song army shouted in surprise, "We are saved!" "The thunder thrower is the elite of the Baoyi army, and he specially selects soldiers with burly bodies and excellent arm strength. Every time the two armies engaged, the mine-thrower would throw the grenade first to gain a head start over the enemy. The unique "boom" sound of this grenade is as beautiful as the fairy music of the crumbling Song army escaping from death.
