When the Song army was fighting with the Liao army, Gao Wei was leading 15,000 elite cavalry of the Xia army to the mountain col with a loud "killing" sound that alarmed Gao Wei, although Gao Wei knew that the Song and Liao armies in Zhuozhou were about to fight, but Gao Wei did not expect that the Song army would act so smoothly this time and hit the city of Zhuozhou in one fell swoop.
"Newspaper, newspaper, newspaper, newspaper" A sentry detective Pegasus came to report that "the Song army attacked Zhuozhou City in a big way, using a large number of catapults, siege vehicles, bed crossbows and other siege equipment" "Prepare the horse, you guys will follow me to the outside of Zhuozhou City to have a look."
Gao Wei ordered decisively.
"Yes."
Several guards and generals took the military order.
On an unnamed hill outside the city of Zhuozhou, Gao Wei and several generals under his command lay on the ground and looked at the battlefield where the Song and Liao armies were fighting in the distance.
The heavy generals were ashamed of what Gao Wei said, in the past, the officers and generals of the Xia Army talked about the Song Army a lot, in their eyes, the Song Army was a group of lambs to be slaughtered, but now the Song Army shows a group of thorny lambs, and the bow and crossbow troops displayed by the Song Army Gao Wei deeply realized that the Song Army was not as weak as the legend, on the contrary, the Song Army was very strong; It is clear that the Song army's bow and crossbow units were created to fight the cavalry.
On the battlefield of Zhuozhou, the huge bed crossbow of the Song army began to exert its might, the crossbow string of the three-bow bed crossbow was slowly pulled away by the winch, in order to increase the power of the crossbow arrows, the Song army only prepared a thick crossbow arrow, the role of the three-bow bed crossbow at this time is to shoot the city wall and battlements of Zhuozhou City, "bang" a crossbow arrow out of the string, towards the city wall of Zhuozhou City flew over, directly the huge crossbow tip into the city wall, so shoot in turn, the crossbow arrows are arranged up in turn until the city head, and when the siege foot attack, The soldier can climb up with a thick crossbow bolt.
Wang Anshi stood on the tall command arrow tower, overlooking the entire battlefield, this is the first time Wang Anshi saw the battlefield, the battlefield made the great poet feel blood boiling at the same time, but also made him feel disgusting, after all, this kind of scene is too bloody, but in the early stage of this quarter of an hour the Song army has not been wrong to have casualties, after the early strike.
Wang Anshi ordered: "Order the army to attack the city" With Wang Anshi's order, the siege soldiers pushed all kinds of siege equipment and began to slowly advance towards the city wall, "hey, hey, hey" The Song army shouted a loud slogan, pushing the heavy siege vehicle slowly, but the other soldiers were not like this, many Song soldiers with simple ladders rushed forward directly; At this time, a passively beaten Eastern Liao army could finally fight back, arrow feathers, thunder stones, and rolling logs began to smash towards the Song army, and the boiling water and hot oil that were burned were poured directly on the Song army, and many Song soldiers were scalded on the spot.
A wounded soldier on the battlefield is more terrible than a dead soldier, a wounded soldier needs at least two people to save him, for which a large number of troops are wasted, and those who have not had time to be rescued, or who are already half dead, may be trampled to death by their own companions; At this time, Zhuozhou City was a huge meat grinder, devouring several lives every moment, the Song army relied on the tactics of the sea of people to achieve great success, and the Song army soldiers began to approach the city of Zhuozhou step by step.
In Zhuozhou City, Xiao Tzu Rin walked towards the city wall wearing armor, and the deputy general said to Xiao Tart Rin: "General, it's too dangerous up there, you better not go up." ” Xiao Tzu Rin sneered: "Even if it is dangerous, I will also go up, otherwise how to understand the combat power of the Song army and how to formulate an effective action plan." ” Xiao Tzu Rin ignored the resistance of the generals under his command and climbed the city tower, at this time the city tower was in a mess, the Song army was constantly climbing up with the help of the siege ladder, looking at the Song army below like a tide, Xiao Tart Rin said: "This is not the way to strictly defend to the death, we must find a way to give the Song army a heavy blow, otherwise our army will be dragged to death by the Song army's crowd tactics sooner or later." ” "General be careful" An adjutant general slammed Xiao Tzu Rin to the ground, and at this moment, a fierce oil tank exploded next to Xiao Tart Rin, and the fire oil instantly ignited several soldiers not far away, and several generals hurriedly helped Xiao Tzu Rin up and said, "General, are you okay?"
Xiao Tzu Rin immediately and decisively ordered: "Order, all the cavalry in the city immediately gather at the south gate, all the buildings within ten zhang near the south wall are immediately emptied, and all the losses of the people let them go to the general's mansion to get them." ” "Yes, follow the general's orders."
Several generals immediately took the military order.
Half an hour later, all the motorized cavalry in Zhuozhou City were assembled outside the south gate, the strength was only more than 10,000 people, and the rest of the people climbed the city tower as infantry, although the number of cavalry was not much, but there were many war horses, so basically a knight had a lot of war horses, and these war horses were armed with weapons, and the place where the war horses passed must have left a mess.
After the cavalry was ready, Xiao Tzu Rin immediately ordered: "Open the city gate, and the whole army will attack" "Squeak squeak squeak" the city gate slowly opened, the Song army outside the city gate immediately rejoiced, just wanted to rush to the city, as a result, Xiao Tart Rin led 10,000 East Liao troops rushed out of the city, the East Liao army such as out of the cage tiger to the fastest speed in front of the Song army to solve all the Song army in front of the city gate, and then under the leadership of Xiao Tart Rin rushed to the Song army's large array, after all the Eastern Liao army cavalry rushed out, the originally opened Zhuozhou City South Gate was immediately closed again, the Song army finally did not take advantage of this opportunity to rush into the city.
Out of the city Xiao Tzu Rin led the Eastern Liao cavalry on a rampage, originally the cavalry and infantry duel, the infantry was at an absolute disadvantage, and now it is even more so, in front of the powerful Eastern Liao cavalry, the infantry soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are like lambs to the slaughter, facing the charge of tens of thousands of war horses, many Song soldiers have fallen into deep fear; Xiao Tart-rin did not waste time with these ordinary Song soldiers, but directly killed the Song army's siege vehicles, catapults, and large bed crossbows, and Xiao Tart-rin planned to destroy all these Song army's heavy siege equipment.
This approach is obviously very effective, the Eastern Liao cavalry passed through the place like no man's land, the Song army has no way to organize an effective resistance, of course, this big problem is a matter of command, because the Eastern Liao cavalry and the Song army are mixed together, the Song army's crossbow soldiers have no way to exert their own power, can only watch the Eastern Liao cavalry rampage.
Xu Xi stood beside Wang Anshi and said, "Your Excellency, hurry up and give an order, let the shield soldiers protect the Chinese army's large array, and block the Eastern Liao cavalry from the Chinese army's large array." ” Wang Anshi asked Xu Xi: "What about the front army, what about the front army?"
Xu Xi said: "It's all this time, then there is still kung fu to manage the front army, as long as the main force of our army is still there, we still have a chance." ” "Okay then, General Xu, you can give the order," Wang Anshi said.
