Chapter 24 The smoke of the wolf is lit
In Shanyin, outside the dense forest, dozens of Song soldiers looked around, their eyes full of panic.
A large number of Liao cavalry galloped out of dense forest paths and rushed towards them. On the horse's back, everyone's faces were ferocious and violent and murderous intent appeared. They waved the sharp blades in their hands, and roared towards the Song soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit in front.
Among the Song army, a tall and heroic Song Bing held a bloody battle knife and suddenly ran strode and shouted loudly: "Hurry up the wolf smoke!"
Most of the Song Bing looked dumb and didn't know what he was talking about. Only the four Song Bings who formed a small round formation in front of him showed a sudden enlightenment, guarded him, and ran towards the wooden house not far away.
In the distance, Liao General holding a steel spear frowned and hung the spear on the horse's neck. He raised his battle bow and took a sharp arrow. The tip of the arrow pointed at Luo Dacheng running in the front. He suddenly let go and shot the arrow towards Luo Dacheng!
With the howling sound, sharp arrows broke through the air. Luo Dacheng didn't even look at it, and waved his battle knife casually. With a loud noise, the sharp arrow shot from the air was slashed into the air by a knife and flew into the distance.
The Liao general was so shocked that he let out a "happy" sound. He was about to shoot again, but he saw Luo Dacheng's running speed suddenly accelerate, and his whole body seemed to turn into a phantom and jumped towards the wooden house.
In the blink of an eye, Luo Dacheng had already strode to the wooden house. While running, he bent down and stretched out his hand, picked up a torch from the ground, and kept walking forward. His hands were moving very quickly. He used flint like lightning to ignite the torch. On his way, he suddenly raised his arms and waved them hard, throwing the ignited torch far away towards the beacon tower in front.
The Liao general in the rear couldn't help but scream, but because he was too far away from him, he could only watch the burning torches spinning in the air and flying towards the beacon tower in front of him.
The beacon tower was already full of fuel for igniting wolf smoke. These days were dry season, so Luo Dacheng ordered Zhang Long and others to move the fuel to the beacon tower in case of emergency. The situation was urgent at this time, which saved the time for ignition.
The torch flew down and landed accurately in the fuel. The fire quickly ignited, and a thick pillar of smoke floated towards the sky. With the sound of the iron hooves of the Liao army, the wolf smoke finally ignited!
The Liao general was ordered to take a cavalry across the trail and launch a surprise attack at the rear of the Song camp to find an opportunity to burn the Song army's food and grass, thinking that there were few Song soldiers who could wipe out the posts here in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, he led his troops out of the dense forest and saw so many Song soldiers. He was already surprised, saying that the situation was not intimate and the wind was leaked.
Later, I saw the Song soldiers looking at each other in a daze, and there were corpses wearing Song soldiers' armor on the ground. It was obvious that there was an internal strife inside the Song soldiers, which made him secretly happy. He was about to take the opportunity to encircle them and annihilate them. Unexpectedly, there were people in the Song soldiers who were so quick-legged and quick-handed. In front of him, they blatantly lit the wolf smoke, which made him angry. Seeing that the surprise attack failed, he almost bit his steel teeth!
He glared at Luo Dacheng and thought to himself that for the sake of the present, he had to kill all the Song soldiers first, then break through the trail here, burn it in the Song army camp for a while, and make some contributions. Anyway, even if his subordinates were discovered, they would not be afraid of being caught by the Song army, which was mostly infantry.
The Liao general raised his steel gun, glared at Luo Dacheng in the distance, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, come with me and kill all these Song pigs, don't let one go!"
Behind him, hundreds of Liao cavalry roared in unison, galloping forward with his war horses.
Those stupid Song soldiers saw so many Liao soldiers rushing towards them, and they were all scared. A few of them were far away and fled. Most of the remaining soldiers were frightened and looked at the galloping Liao soldiers, helpless and didn't know what to do.
These Song Bings have always been personal soldiers by Pang Kexing. They are good at bullying other Song Bings, but they rarely experience battles. When facing a strong enemy, only a few people can still maintain their rationality.
The fair-faced Song Bing was already pale. He looked back at the escaped Song Bing. He was in a slight heart and shouted loudly: "Brothers, Liao dogs and horses are fast, so they can't escape. We fight against Liao dogs! The wolf smoke is already burning. If you can hold on for more time and wait for reinforcements to arrive, you will still have a glimmer of life!"
When the Song soldiers heard his loud call, they woke up from their dreams and immediately formed a formation on the spot, raised their swords and guns, and pointed at the rushing group of Liao cavalry.
The war horses galloped towards the wind, and the fierce Liao soldiers were all ferocious and shouted wildly. The first Liao soldiers were quick and impatient, rushed to the front of the Song soldiers, waved their steel knives and slashed them hard, chopping the first Song soldiers with their heads and falling to the sky.
Before his death, the Song Bing waved a knife and slashed the horse, bringing out a deep crack, and blood burst out.
Amid the tragic neighing of the war horse, a Song soldier from behind desperately shot him, hitting the horse's neck and stabbed it deeply.
The force of the war horse galloped was so powerful that even if it was stabbed into the vital point by him with a shot, it rushed forward according to its inertia, hitting him hard and knocking him to the ground. For a moment, the man and the horse were overturned, and the whining sounds sounded harshly.
The war horse fell to the ground, neighing and twitching; the Liao soldiers rolled down from the horse's back, and before they could get up, several steel knives slashed on him, cracking his leather armor and slashing him with random swords.
The sound of hooves sounded like thunder, and a large number of Liao soldiers rushed over quickly. The violent impact force instantly dispersed the formation of the Song soldiers who were struggling to resist. The swords and guns were swung all over the sky, and a large number of Song soldiers fell into the sword. The desperate counterattack before their death also caused several Liao soldiers to fall off the horse, and they blew their blood to fall to the ground. Then they were stepped on by the iron hooves from behind, with broken bones and broken tendons, and died on the spot.
The Liao general led this team of 100 cavalry to encircle dozens of Song soldiers in front of him with most of the troops, and distributed more than ten cavalry to chase and kill several Song soldiers who were fleeing. The Song soldiers ran away not far away and were caught by the Liao soldiers. The swords were waving, screams sounded from time to time, and blood sprayed all over the sky. The Song soldiers fell to the sky and corpses were on the spot.
A young man, Song Bingxian, was so scared that he actually knelt down and begged for his life. The Liao soldier who caught up with him immediately waved his knife and cut off his head without blinking.
This time, this 100 cavalry team came lightly, so where could they bring prisoners? Moreover, the Liao and Song dynasties have been fighting for many years and have had a deep hatred, so no one is willing to be ruthless.
Seeing that the escaped companions ended in such a tragic end, the remaining Song soldiers gave up and howled in despair, fighting hard with the Liao soldiers, fighting desperately against each other, and killing several Liao soldiers.
Liao general stood aside with thick eyebrows frowned, feeling quite distressed that his subordinates were killed.
The Song soldier in front of him was surrounded by his subordinates and could no longer escape. So, the Song soldier who ignited the wolf smoke just now...
His eyes looked at Luo Dacheng from afar, but he saw him with four other Song soldiers, rushing to the other side of the wooden house, and picked up the weapons placed beside the wooden house along the way. While running, he did not forget to form a round formation, as if he was about to hold on to the waiting for help.
The general Liao's eyes were ignited, and he was very angry at Luo Dacheng's behavior of igniting wolf smoke just now. He looked at the five Song soldiers who were hiding towards the other side of the wooden house, raised his gun and whistled: "Split out twenty people and kill those Song pigs!"
Immediately, two teams of ten people rushed out and rushed towards Luo Dacheng and others. The Liao soldiers waved their swords with a sharp sword, screaming wildly, and their faces were full of murderous aura. Looking at the five Song soldiers in front, the contempt in their eyes was like looking at five lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Luo Dacheng's face was calm and calm. He strided for a while, and suddenly stopped and ordered his troops to form a formation to defend.
In the open space beside him, a large number of large rocks nearly half a man tall were placed scattered to resist the cavalry's charge. It was the best place.
Twenty Liao soldiers rushed over, but saw a large open space ahead with tall rocks everywhere, almost blocking the road. It was obviously the Song soldiers in the past, just in case of accidents. Now it just blocked their way forward. If they forced a quick rush, they would probably break the horse's legs.
It seems impossible to rush to Luo Dacheng in one go, and the Liao soldiers could only advance from both wings, rode their horses into the stone formation, and walked carefully to approach the five Song soldiers in the center of the stone formation.
A Liao soldier was walking forward carefully when he suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound in his ear. He looked up and saw a sharp arrow shot into the face. The Liao soldier had only a little screaming, and the arrow had already hit the door. In an instant, blood burst out. The Liao soldier fell to the sky and fell heavily from the horse. His body hit the rocks behind him. With a muffled bang, he fell to the ground and could no longer get up.
The Liao soldiers behind shouted loudly, shocked and angry, swung their swords at the Song soldiers in front of them, and cursed loudly in Khitan language.
In the middle of the stone formation, Di Liniang stood on a tall rock, holding a long bow in her hand and pointing at the approaching Liao soldiers. Her pretty face turned red due to tension. Her nose wings were gently twitching, breathing unsteadily, biting her teeth gently, and her fingertips loosened, and the sharp arrow came out of the string. With a puff, it shot into the shoulders of another Liao soldiers, causing him to fall from the horse.
In a hurry, Luo Dacheng only found a pair of bows and arrows, and handed them over to Di Liniang, who had the best archery skills. He himself occupied one side with Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and the Dynasty, surrounded the rocks, and protected Di Liniang in the center.
In the main attack direction of the Liao soldiers, Luo Dacheng held a spear in his left hand and a knife in his right hand. He looked at the more than ten Liao soldiers who were attacking, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
On the rock, Di Liniang bit her cherry lips tightly, speeded up her hands, constantly tapping her bow and arrows, and shooting arrows at the Liao soldiers who were approaching step by step. Her archery skills were not weak. When she was at home, she had reached the level of passing through Yang with a hundred steps under Di Qing's intensive training. Now she was holding a strong bow and shooting arrows at such a close distance. If she could not hit the enemy, it would be strange.
