Chapter 52 Big fish caught

Han Kuangsi looked at Zhou Jun retreating, his mind went blank.

This is their only chance to turn defeat into victory.

As long as the opponent doesn't make fatal mistakes, they have no hope of winning.

Defeat is decided.

With such a formidable opponent, do you expect him to make mistakes?

After Luo Youdu gave up following Yelujing into the camp, he immediately launched a blockade of the Sanggan River.

They lacked cavalry, so when facing the defeated Khitan army, they could only kill and injure the enemy troops as much as possible, but could not expand their results or break through the enemy camp.

But among the tens of thousands of Khitan soldiers crossing the river, not a single one could escape.

Yelvwansi is located on the south bank of the Sanggan River, at the junction with the Haihe River, and has penetrated deep into the rear of the Zhou Dynasty.

Therefore, Yelvwansi did not know the news of the Khitan army's defeat. He was still entangled with Chang Side and Li Chuyun.

Yelvwansi's 10,000 troops faced Chang Side, and Li Chuyun's 4,000-plus grain transport team was helpless.

Chang Side, who attaches great importance to military discipline, is strict and strict, and Li Chuyun, who is quick-witted and quick-reacting, perfectly complement each other.

The Tianwei Army under Chang Side was the best in terms of military discipline in the imperial camp.

Luo Youdu's evaluation of Chang Side was too rigid. He was not like Shu Yuan, who knew how to inspire people and let his troops perform beyond their own strength, nor was he like Zhang Qiong, who relied on personal bravery to boost the morale of the army.

He is just a smelly and hard rock, no matter the harsh environment, no matter whether there are favorable or adverse winds, he remains as stable as ever.

In history, when facing Yelvxiu Ge, the first Khitan general, and facing the Song Dynasty's 100,000-strong army, the whole army was defeated. Only Chang Side's troops were not affected by the defeat, and calmly protected Cao Bin back to Yizhou.

.

Just like the fixed damage in the game...

Therefore, when Luo Youdu studied the manuscript given by Fu Yanqing, he found that it contained detailed records of Fu Cun's tactics of using foot to defeat cavalry in the battle of Youzhou.

Look at the harsh conditions of marching into an army and stopping into a stronghold.

Luo Youdu's first reaction was that no strong soldier with more than five years of battle experience could not do this. His second reaction was that only Chang Side of the Imperial Camp could do it.

Chang Side also lived up to Luo Youdu's respect.

Faced with Yelvwansi's various attacks, the Tianwei Army under his command remained unmoved. They used the iron spikes they carried with them to build a temporary fence in the shortest possible time before the enemy cavalry could rush closer.

Once Yelvwansi goes far away, the Tianwei Army will take back the iron thorns and continue to transport food and march.

Once Yelvwansi gets close, he will face extremely sharp iron barbed fences and crossbow arrows that chase souls and kill people.

Chang Side and Li Chuyun did not take Yelvwansi's grain-robbery army seriously at all.

Their two legs were not as fast as others' four legs, and they never had any intention of going over to fight Yeluwansi.

When it was time to transport food, they carried it, but Yeluwansi didn't let them transport it and wandered around near them.

They rested on the spot, no matter how Yeluwansi mocked them, no one paid attention to them.

Yelvwansi felt that his opponent was an iron bastard and had no chance at all.

After a period of back-and-forth, Yeluwansi gradually lost patience.

The veteran already had a somewhat ominous feeling in his heart.

Yelvwansi stood on the high slope, looking at the slowly moving grain transport team, and said softly: "We can't waste any more."

There are inherent risks in being in enemy territory. Exposing your whereabouts for a long time is extremely irrational behavior.

If the current situation hadn't been bad, he wouldn't have spent so long with Chang Side and Li Chuyun.

He glanced at the sky and thought silently in his heart: Great God of Wind, send your devout people an east wind!

The Khitan people believe in shamanism and worship the sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, thunder and lightning.

Coincidentally, not long after he begged, the east wind really blew by the Sanggan River.

Yeluwansi was overjoyed and quickly ordered, "Get ready quickly."

Chang Side once again showed his efficiency.

Upon hearing the news, the mighty Tianwei army moved like robots, repeating the actions they had practiced thousands of times.

The dark iron thorns formed a line of defense, waiting for the enemy to attack.

But this time, the Khitan cavalry did not attack directly, but lit dozens of fires outside the range of the crossbows.

Chang Side was surprised and said: "What is this?"

Li Chuyun raised his head and looked at the flag fluttering to the east. He suddenly understood and said: "Cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel and prepare for a tough battle."

Chang Side knew Li Chuyun's ability well and did it without hesitation.

After they finished all this, the Khitan soldiers threw the dead branches and leaves they had prepared on the fire.

Driven by the east wind, the thick smoke drifted towards the grain transport team and enveloped it.

Chang Side and Li Chuyun could not see the enemy's movements clearly in the smoke.

In my ears I could only hear a cavalry team charging rapidly on the right, and the constant coughing of the surrounding soldiers and civilians.

Li Chuyun knew that the target of this cavalry team was not them, but just to make noise and cover the approach of other Khitan soldiers.

The opponent did not dare to use cavalry to forcefully charge into the iron ground and approach on foot.

The Iron Ground Thorn is the same as the Horse Rejection. It has a great effect on cavalry, but it has no effect on infantry.

Li Chuyun didn't know which direction the opponent would approach from, so he cursed and shouted: "Team A shoots at will!"

Eight hundred crossbowmen relied on their feelings and used random crossbow techniques against the smoke, firing randomly.

Finally, a scream was heard from the southwest.

Li Chuyun ordered again: "To the southwest, shoot!"

Dense crossbow bolts shot out.

There were indeed a lot of screams, but it was obvious that the damage was limited.

In the smoke, the Khitan soldiers could not see anything, but as long as they knew the general direction, they would have no problem approaching the camp.

As the smoke dissipated, the Khitan soldiers had appeared thirty steps away. Most of them were crawling, which was the blind spot for the crossbows.

The distance of thirty steps is only a matter of a few breaths.

The Khitan soldiers rushed to the nearby area like crazy, and started to remove the iron thorns without fear of death.

Chang Side and the Tianwei Army, who were already on standby, attacked mercilessly with their spear formations, and both sides fought hard at one point.

Li Chuyun said: "The archers will take charge of the grain carts to shoot, and the crossbowmen will follow me to take over. The Great Zhou Dynasty will be victorious, and the imperial camp will be victorious!"

The two sides, who had been tugging and entangled, finally truly fought together.

The stability of Tianwei's army and the sturdiness of Khitan soldiers were vividly demonstrated in this close combat.

When Yeluwansi saw this, her face became even more solemn. It seemed that she had not taken advantage.

If you want to eat them, you have to pay a heavy price.

Just as he was risking his life, Yelvwansi suddenly discovered that two armies of nearly 3,000 men were approaching quickly from the southeast in an evacuation formation!

A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he turned to look west, preparing to escape westward. He was shocked to find that an army was approaching him from the west.

Unknowingly, Yelvwansi found that she had become a turtle in a jar.

The hand holding the knife trembled slightly, and Yeluwansi understood what it meant to be surrounded.
