Chapter 282 Return to Yangwu

Autumn is the season of harvest. Countless original herders have received great surprises in this season.

The entire earth, in the vast fields, yellow grains are everywhere, and the crops are full of fruits, bending the ears of grain heavily.

The old herdsmen who had worked hard for more than half a year, holding handfuls of food and watching the plump particles leak out from their fingers, couldn't help laughing loudly in surprise, enjoying the joy after the harvest.

Even poor herders will not like to eat grass roots frequently. Wild rats will rely on the relief issued by the government when planting food this year, and the family is only half hungry and half full. Now with so much food, if you save some food, it will be enough for the family to eat delicious food every day, instead of just eating grass roots that are difficult to swallow!

As herders who cannot farm, they enjoyed the joy of a good harvest for the first time, remembering it firmly in their hearts and becoming one of the happiest memories of their lives.

The same scene was happening everywhere in the land of China. The Chinese cavalry forced to farm with butcher knives and irrigated people of all races suddenly found that most of the food they harvested was their own. As long as they paid part of the rent and taxes to the government, the rest would still be enough for their family to feed themselves. This joy penetrated into their hearts, and the fierce Chinese cavalry seemed less hateful at this time.

But at this moment, the cavalry that had wielded their swords to force them to farm were no longer by their side. Under the orders of the emperor, countless cavalry drove south to approach the Song Dynasty, preparing for a new round of war.

During the past six months, a large number of war horses were savoring the grass and were raised very strongly, which was many times stronger than the hungry appearance after winter. Such a horse is the most suitable war horse for charge, and this period is also the most suitable period for cavalry to fight.

On the way south, a large number of straw harvested from farmland became feed for war horses. When these war horses came south of Yunzhou and gathered north of the border of Song State, the war between China and the Song Dynasty was about to begin.

...

In the vast wilderness, two armies faced each other from afar, and the heavy atmosphere of slaughter spreads to all sides.

This is the battlefield in front of Yangwuzhai, and on both sides of the battlefield are the Song army in Yangwuzhai, and the other is the Chinese army that invaded the Song territory.

After the autumn harvest in the north was completed, Luo Dacheng quickly assembled a large cavalry army of 100,000 and invaded the Song territory in lightning. The first target was Yangwuzhai where he once lived.

In the rear, more cavalry and infantry were also summoned. After the autumn harvest, they quickly joined the army and formed a reserve army, leading to the border.

In the West, Timur, Wei Mushanxi and others also led Dangxiang and Uighur army to cross the border and head towards northern Shaanxi. The targets of the military front point to the important town of Taiyuan. As long as this city is captured, the army of the Song Dynasty will be unable to withstand the attack of the Chinese army.

After invading the Song Dynasty, Luo Dacheng suddenly discovered that the person responsible for guarding Yangwu Village in front of him was his old boss Yang Qi!

Yang Qi made military achievements in previous battles and had been promoted for a long time. He should not have defended this village. However, he was in charge of border military affairs in this area. In the news sent to China, he keenly noticed the movements of the Chinese army and immediately increased troops to Yangwuzhai, with a total of 40,000 troops stationed in Yangwuzhai, intending to stop the progress of the Chinese army.

At this time, after receiving the news that the Chinese army had invaded the border, Yang Qi quickly sent troops to set up a formation along the mountains to confront the Chinese army, hoping to block the Chinese army, and at least delay it for a few more days to give the rear army a chance to arrange it calmly.

Surrounded by the crowds of troops, Luo Dacheng looked at the neat Song camp opposite him, and sighed in his heart.

On the same battlefield, the same Song army, but where they are located is the place occupied by the Liao army when they attacked the Song army.

Opposite me, there were old robes and superiors; but I became the emperor of the northern strong clan, and personally led the army to fight against the Song Dynasty. The changes in the world were really unexpected. When I was a soldier in the Song camp and fought with the northern strong clan, I never expected that this day would happen.

Thinking of Yang Qi, this person, is also a talent. The patrol of China has always severely cracked down on the investigations of the Song Dynasty, and there is very little news that can be transmitted back. However, Yang Qi was able to calculate from such a small military situation that he was about to lead his army to attack the Song territory from here, and he was also considered an excellent general.

In the wilderness, more than 100,000 troops were facing each other from afar, and the two sides were tense and a war was about to begin.

The Song army lined up in front of the mountain, and still arranged crossbowmen in front of the formation according to the old method. The number was so large that nearly 30,000 crossbowmen were holding up their crossbows and pointing at the Chinese army, waiting for the battle. When the Chinese army went to attack, they fired thousands of arrows at the same time and attacked the enemy with arrows.

Luo Dacheng frowned slightly. He knew the power of the Song Dynasty's archers. This was also the trump card used by the Song army to deal with the cavalry. His 100,000 cavalry under his command were all elite soldiers who had experienced many battles. If he lost too much under the enemy's raids, it would be a pity.

However, China has been preparing for the attack on the Song State for so long, and has many tricks later. Now it is time to quickly eliminate the Song army and attack the heartland of the Song State.

A huge roar sounded in the rear army, and the Chinese cavalry army separated to both sides, and a large number of catapults pushed from the rear team and pushed towards the front of the formation.

In the Song army formation, Yang Qi stood in the central army on a horse, looking at the enemy formation from afar, frowned with thick eyebrows, and was extremely worried.

One hundred thousand Chinese cavalry, and they are obviously the most fierce soldiers, were extremely difficult to stop the enemy with 40,000 infantrymen. If they were defeated and died, they would probably be difficult to escape.

As a general, it is the duty to die for the country in battle; the only hope at this time is that before death, the 40,000 troops can be commanded to kill and injure the enemy in large quantities to frustrate the enemy's ambition, and the Song army behind it will be easier to deal with these enemy troops.

The Song army, which is mainly infantry, had to kill and injure the enemy cavalry in large quantities, and had to rely on crossbows. However, the catapult cart launched by the enemy at this time was far above the crossbows, and they could throw stones from afar to their own army. The situation was extremely unfavorable.

There were naturally catapults in the Song army, but they came in a hurry and had no time to transport them here. However, the enemy had prepared for a long time and sent a large number of catapults to the border to hide in advance. When pushing the border line together during wartime, they could achieve huge results.

What's more, looking at the catapults that are extremely large, with shafts in front of them. If there are more than a dozen horses pulling the carriage at the same time, it may not be much slower than the war horses when they run.

At this time, hundreds of catapults had been pushed to the front of the formation, and the Chinese soldiers loaded huge stones and threw them towards the Song army's position in the distance.

These pitchers responsible for controlling the throwing cart have experienced countless training in throwing stones this year. They are more familiar with the throwing cart than their own hands. They can quickly master the key points of throwing stones no matter where they are, and are amazingly accurate.

In the first round of throwing stones, only half of the stones were thrown into the air and landed on the battlefield in front of the two armies. More stones were thrown into the sky, drawing long arcs in the air, making a shrill whistling sound, and hitting the Song army's positions, causing great casualties.

Countless brave soldiers of the Song Dynasty faced the huge rocks that fell from their heads, and they were hit hard under them before they could escape. With a loud bang, countless soldiers broke their bones and thorns, and screams came from under the huge rocks in a dull way, which sounded extremely miserable.

Under Yang Qi's command, the array that was originally arranged neatly was smashed into it by a large number of huge rocks, and concave blood holes quickly appeared. The shrill howls of soldiers who died under the stone made their companions tremble.

Yang Qi waved the whip and shouted loudly. Behind him, more than a dozen catapults were pushed out, and a large number of divine arm bows were transported out. With the efforts of the Song soldiers, they moved towards the formation, preparing to give the opponent's catapults a fierce blow.

Hundreds of huge rocks were thrown in the air again and smashed heavily into the Song army's positions. This time, the pitchers obviously threw more accurately, and most of the targets were aimed at the catapults and the god arm bow. With a loud bang, countless stones hit the catapults, smashing several catapults into pieces. Even the Song Bing who was pushing the cart also broke his brain and died tragically on the ground.

After the next third round of volleys, the roar sounded again. All the Song army's catapults were smashed by huge rocks, smashed to pieces, and no stone attacks could be launched. The number of catapults in the enemy was too far away. This battle could be seen without asking.

Immediately afterwards, the Song soldiers holding the Divine Arm Bow suffered disasters and were smashed by rocks, with heavy casualties and no effective long-range strikes were carried out on the Chinese army.

The huge rocks hit the Song army piece by piece, smashing blood holes from the closely arranged Song army archers' positions. Screams kept coming out from all the positions. Watching the comrades being smashed to pieces, the Song soldiers couldn't help but be frightened, and the array gradually became scattered.

Yang Qi's face was already as dark as the face, her teeth were clenched, and she was very angry.

The current situation is that you can’t fight, and not to mention attacking the enemy’s extremely fierce cavalry, even if you want to defend this position, it will be extremely difficult.

Look at my subordinates, countless deaths were tragically killed under the attack of huge rocks, and the number of casualties had gradually exceeded 2,000. If this continues, without the enemy cavalry rushing over, his army will collapse first!
