Facing the Liao army that arrived, Zhao Yan said to the seed master: "Ready to start" "Yes, my lord.
"Array, Array" "Bluff hey bluff hey" Song soldiers shouted a unified slogan and began to move into a state of preparation, after the completion of the army's formation, the Song soldiers shouted in unison: "Liao thieves dare to attack the formation" Nearly 150,000 people shouted in unison, the sound was simply resounding in the sky, if it weren't for the cavalry of the Liao army to strangle the war horses, some of the war horses had been frightened away, even Zhao Yan and the seed master who were standing on the watchtower were shocked by their ears numb, Zhao Yan covered his ears and said: "Who came up with this sassy idea, almost didn't shock this king to death." ” "Lord Wang, you came up with this idea."
The planter said with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense, the Liao army is about to attack, this time it must not go wrong, whether my Great Song can raise his eyebrows depends on this battle."
Zhao Yan told the seed master to say.
"Don't worry, the last general has already been prepared."
Yelu Yixin saw the large array of the Song army, his eyes flashed with a fine light and said: "This Song general really has two moves, and the army is arranged in the narrowest place between the canal and the city wall, so that our army can not only move the two wings to attack, but also the frontal attack surface is relatively narrow, if the attacking forces are too many anti-nest troops, they can only attack in batches, isn't this a tactic to add fuel?"
"Asking our army to fight in the field is a conspiracy in itself."
Yeluren said viciously.
"Then we'll withdraw our troops now."
Jeruyisin suggested.
Yeluren said first: "The army mobilized the people to come here, and retreated to the camp without fighting, so that the people of the world would not think that I was afraid of the Great Song Dynasty, and if I retreated at this time, the morale would be completely gone." ” "Then how do you say this battle will be fought?"
Yeluren thought for a while and said: "In this way, we use the tactics commonly used by the Xia army, with heavy cavalry as the lead, to form a cone-shaped formation, to give the Song army a breakthrough in the middle, as long as our army can approach the watchtower, the battle will be won, the watchtower must be where the Song army's formation is located, as long as we can destroy the formation, the Song army will naturally be self-defeating." ” "Okay, just do as you say."
The cavalry of the Liao army began to charge after forming an offensive formation, and the master said to Zhao Yan: "Lord Wang, the cavalry of the Liao army has launched an attack, using a conical formation. ” "It seems that this Yelu Renxian and Yelu Yixin are not easy to deal with, this move just hit the weakness of our army, if they want to break through the big formation, then the situation will not be good."
Zhao Yan said with some concern.
When he heard this, he did not answer, but concentrated on commanding the enemy; After the Liao army's sprint speed increased, the seed master Dao waved the order flag and said, "Daxu has given the order, and the giant shield soldiers have retreated." ” "The Great Commander ordered, the giant shield soldiers slowly retreated."
The heralds at the front shouted.
"Hey, hey" The giant shield soldier shouted the slogan to hold up the big shield or step by step back, stopped after fifteen steps back, and a new weapon of the Song army came out of the place where the giant shield soldier retreated, if Li Liangzuo was here, he would definitely recognize this kind of thing, this is the monkey that has been improved by the Song army, that is, fireworks; It's just that this kind of fireworks is not shot into the sky, but at the cavalry of the Liao army.
In order to be able to defeat the cavalry of the Liao army, this time Zhao Zhao, the king of Zhao, made a bloody investment, and took out all the inventory of the sky monkeys, these sky monkeys are about six feet long, converted to today's units about two meters, each sky monkey has the thickness of an arm, these sky monkeys are made of bamboo, and the head of each sky monkey is also covered with a pointed head made of bamboo, even if it does not explode at that time, it can be worn a string There are nearly a thousand of these Channeling Monkeys, and when the quality is not good, they can only make up for the quantity, and after watching the Liao Army enter the firing range, the Seed Master Dao issued a military order: "Channeling Monkeys, ignition "Order, ignition" The soldier in charge of igniting the fire immediately lit the monkey in charge of himself, all of these monkeys were flat on the shelf about one meter from the ground, and the monkey flew out on the fire here, although this thing looked very bullish, but there was no one who nodded accurately, some did not fly out far and fell to the ground and exploded, some flew directly into the sky and became fireworks, some flew into the canal, some shot to the city wall and exploded, less than one-third of the cavalry formation of the Liao army really shot into the Liao army, There are only about 300 pieces, don't underestimate these 300 pieces, which also caused a certain amount of damage to the Liao army.
One of them pierced directly into the horse's belly, and it exploded in the horse's belly, forming a cloud of blood mist, of course, this monkey also killed the horse, and the impact of the explosion and the broken bamboo were basically blocked by the war horse; The monkey did not achieve the expected combat effect, although it gave the Liao army a kill, but the Liao army's losses were not very large, the key problem is that it was the heavy armored cavalry of the Liao army that rushed to the front, unless it exploded at close range, the broken bamboo fragments could not penetrate the iron armor of the heavy armored cavalry.
A blow did not go well, the master did not give up, there is still a big move waiting for it in the back After the attack of the monkey passed, the Liao cavalry continued to charge forward, and the Liao cavalry who suddenly rushed to the front suddenly planted forward, it turned out that the Song army dug a lot of traps in front of their own large array, and also sprinkled a lot of thistles, and the Liao cavalry in front of them were hit, and once they arrived in the process of the cavalry sprint, it meant that they were trampled into meat sauce by their companions.
At the same time, the location of the trap is also a signal to the Seed Master, and the most violent blow should begin; The most critical moment came, Zhao Yan stared at the front line with his eyes, and the planter ordered the army: "Catapults, projectiles, bed crossbows, ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, crossbowmen, put" "Great Order, Catapult, Thrower, Bed Crossbow, Ten Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart, Crossbowman, Attack" Needless to say, the catapults and projectiles are all earth-shattering thunder and explosive packs, and the crossbow arrows withdrawn from the bed crossbow are also specially modified, and the crossbowmen shoot ordinary arrows, but the ten thousand arrows pierce the heart differently; The so-called 10,000 arrows piercing the heart is to use gunpowder as propellant to launch the arrows, which is much more stable than the Sky Piercing Monkey, and the cost is lower, and the range is farther than the arrows shot by the crossbowmen; These new weapons of the Song army were tested before they went to war.
Each of the Song army's 10,000 arrows piercing the heart of the launch vehicle can fire a hundred arrows at the same time, each arrow is worn in a thin bamboo tube, and the bottom is plugged with confetti to prevent falling off, this weapon is similar to the current rocket artillery, the Song army has 500 such launch vehicles, that is to say, it can shoot 50,000 arrows at the same time, and it does not carry tens of thousands of arrows shot by crossbowmen.
After the order of the planter, the Liao army's cavalry attack formation began to explode, and the fallen Liao soldiers were trampled to death by their companions' war horses before they even had time to shout.
Whoosh, whoosh, swish, swish, thousands of arrows pierced the heart of the flames rose into the air, the rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun fell above the Liao army, and the Liao soldiers who charged in front fell in pieces, in fact, most of the fallen knights were not hit, they basically died under the iron hooves of their companions
