Chapter 62 - 3
"Run!" Gao Bolong roared lowly, and raised his cavalry spear in his right hand. Behind him, countless Han cavalry had already sat on the horse, whipped and rushed out. A stream of cavalry surged out of the darkness, and the sea, which had been frozen to death, seemed to suddenly startling another shocking wave. With the indomitable force, the cavalry's anger rushed straight towards the Liao army camp.
The iron hooves stumbled through the silence of dawn, and the earth was trembling. "Enemy attack!" The Liao army, who was whistling, widened their eyes incredibly, and the sound of trumpets suddenly ran through the night sky. Countless Liao soldiers grabbed weapons like headless flies and ran around in the camp.
The crows living in the woods were frightened by the sound of horse hooves. The sound of crows and the sound of flapping wings were almost the same as the sound of horse hooves. Thousands of thousands circled in the dark sky, and even the city of Nanshan, which was several miles away, could be seen clearly.
"General Gao has begun to attack the Liao camp!" Tong Yunjie slapped Duo's head and the Han generals looked excited.
Zhao Xingde shouted: "Beat the drum! Fire the cannon! Cheer up to General Gao!"
The Han army had already moved dozens of big drums to the top of Nanshan City. Hundreds of drumbeats were red and swung the thick drumsticks with their hands. The huge drum sound "dong-dong-dong" sounded, becoming more and more rapid, and the sounds seemed to be hitting people's hearts, and the sound of horns that were sometimes high and sometimes low, only make people feel passionate!
The infantry formed a wide-faced formation with flags under Nanshan City. Twenty thousand people shouted in unison: "Kill———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Han Ningshuang stared into the distance, "General Gao, I can only help you like this!" She said silently, her eyes as cold as autumn water.
Just north of the Liao army camp, the cavalry led by Gao Bolong easily broke through the fence of the Liao army's rear formation, and panicked Liao army infantry and cavalry were running at a loss everywhere. Gao Bolong did not entangle with these headless flies, pointed his spear towards the wide road ahead and said loudly: "Follow me!" He clamped his legs and the horse's belly, neighed, raised his four hooves, and galloped along the road in front of him.
This road was the road for the Liao army's ration team to enter the food camp, so it was extremely flat and wide. Ten thousand cavalry did not delay at all, and rushed the horse to the extreme speed. In other parts of the Liao army camp, only sounded hooves, but only a few Han army cavalry with a determined desire to die were used as suspicious soldiers. They shouted loudly and held torches in their hands to ignite the fire. For a moment, thick smoke was raised everywhere behind the Liao army camp.
In the camp, the Xi army infantry and artillery battalions were stationed in the left army and the front army. The back formation included the Five Capital Army guarding the baggage, and the cavalry who had been preparing to attack the rear side of Nanshan City. The civilians who transported food and grass set up straw sheds to shelter to take a break by the Liao army camp, making the camps in the back formation even more chaotic.
Suddenly, they were attacked by the Han army. The first to escape were tens of thousands of civilians who were delivering food. Although these people were unarmed, they were very familiar with the virtual and real situations in the formation. The road was wide and there was a hole in the fence of the camp. The civilians shouted loudly and fled, and soon the other Liao troops led by the other Liao troops began to collapse. Some of the Liao cavalry stationed in the back formation were also swept away by the surging crowds, while others gathered together in a hurry, but were defeated by the large group of Han cavalry. The defeat was like a mountain, and nearly 20,000 Liao troops were stationed in the entire back formation, and they did not make any effective resistance. They ran around like headless flies. The terrifying defeated soldiers fled into the camps of other Liao troops, and tried their best to exaggerate the momentum of the Han cavalry.
"What's going on!" Yelu Yanshan wriggled his helmet and ran out of the central army tent. Because the matter was hasty, he only wrapped a brocade robe casually and covered his iron armor. After leaving the tent, he immediately sat on a war horse, pulled out the scimitar, looked around, and there were Liao soldiers running around everywhere. The entire camp was in chaos, and there was no enemy there. Yelu Yanshan grabbed a general and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
The man hesitated and said, "Report to the Lord, it seems...it is an enemy attack!"
"Which direction did you come from?" Yelu Yanshan asked with wide eyes.
"The last, the last, the last general..., the last general doesn't know." The general seemed a little confused by Yelu Yanshan's power, and even became incoherent.
"Then why are you running around! A waste!" Yelu Yanshan cursed, letting go of this person, shouting loudly: "Don't run, guard the camp!" The Liao generals and personal soldiers around him saw the commander and surrounded him. Soon there were hundreds of cavalry in his arms. In the panic-camped central army camp, these cavalry generals were like a sea-stabilizing needle. Five thousand white-armored palace tent troops were guarding the periphery, and the central army camp with more than 20,000 troops stationed suddenly stabilized the situation.
The rear army was raided by enemy cavalry, but the left army and friendly troops also discovered the enemy. In front of the camp, artillery fired at the top of the city of Nanshan. The scouts found that the Han army was out of the city and lined up, as if they were preparing to attack the camp head-on. For a moment, Yelu Yanshan had no way to judge the real intention of the Han army, so they had to strictly order all units to guard their own formation.
“看清楚是谁的旗号了吗?”
"Zhao,..., it's Zhao De!" The Liao army who came to report the news said this, and Yelu Yanshan felt relieved. He fought with Zhao De for more than a month and knew a little about this person. Although he was persevering and planning, he was not the kind of fierce general who was ten swinging and ten decisions. "Zhao De's temperament is to seek victory in a steady manner, and it is impossible to throw the army into a sneak attack behind the scenes. The strength advantage of the 100,000 Liao army is impossible to shake. The Han army attacked the camp and still used attack as the defense.
The plan was to have only the power of harassment, and not defeat our army's strength in one fell swoop. To be more high, the cavalry that the Han people could fight was only three or four thousand." Yelu Yanshan pondered. Perhaps the Han army was rushing to the side with surprise troops, and the heavy troops were still standing in front of the opportunity. He immediately sent an order to take charge of the central army himself. The supreme general Yelu Yinxian led 5,000 Gongshang Army to expel the Han army's cavalry in the camp, and the deputy commander Guo Baoyi was in charge of the artillery battalion, guarding against the main force of the Han army's attack on the front line.
However, before the orders of the central army were spread, the Han cavalry had already rushed to the front of the baggage camp along the gaps of the Liao army's camp. The brigade of cavalry began to launch rockets around the Liao army's food and supplies. Even the Han cavalry who were fearless rushed to the camp with the arrow feathers of the Liao army guarding the village and threw the tincture tanks tied to the javelin head. Originally, in order to prevent the enemy's fire attack, the army's food and grass were covered with wet mud. However, because a large number of arrived food and grass arrived recently, they had no time to follow the rules and piled up in the camp at will, and the fire soon started to burn. The Liao army in the camp had to put out the fire while dealing with the enemy's siege.
However, compared with the Liao army, the Han cavalry had too few people. Once they were parked in one place for a long time, there was danger of being surrounded by the Liao cavalry. After the initial panic, the Han army's sneak attacks were weakening little by little. Many Han army and Jurchen cavalry had been entangled and strangled with the Liao cavalry. As the fire burned, cavalry kept falling off. Therefore, as the fire spread, Gao Bolong led the Han cavalry to gallop again.
The gate of the central army in the Liao army camp had just opened, and more than 5,000 palace tent troops had not yet rushed out, and the Han cavalry had already rushed to the front. Before the Liao army could react, the two cavalry collided together. In the darkness, the firelight reflected the scimitar and the spearhead. Apart from this, everything seemed to be faintly visible, countless war horses intersected, and people screamed and fell off from time to time. The enemy actually entered the Zhongjun camp, and the Liao cavalry on the periphery rushed up to fight. The cavalry running around waved spears and scimitars, intertwined dozens of people and hundreds of people. Both sides gritted their teeth and fought hard without giving in. The battle was more than ten times more intense than when they rushed into the Liao army camp just now.
"General Gao, should we retreat?" the personal soldiers asked loudly from behind.
"Kill!" Gao Bolong's eyes were red, "Run forward!" His riding spear had already lost, and he waved his saber hard. In this storm-like attack, he seemed to be crazy. He turned his head to avoid it. The cold spear seemed to be passing by his face, and then slashed a sword. The Liao general who was rushing towards him suddenly had his head and blood sprayed Gao Bolong. When he opened his eyes again, the entire dark battlefield seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of blood.
"Bojilie, the Han people are crazy. If we continue like this, we can't leave, and everyone will be completely destroyed!" Mouke Shuhu shouted loudly. The Jin army claimed that "can't rush forward ten rounds and turns, and the cavalry of the Liao army was killed more and more, and the Jurchen cavalry began to be numb. Many people were stabbed off the horse by the Liao army.
Wanyan Ci is nearly 60 years old, but his eyes are as sharp as those of the middle-aged man. He stared at the tent of the Liao army camp. The generals of the Liao army were surrounded by the middle like stars holding the moon.
"Kill it over" Wanyan Ci raised his scimitar and pointed forward, shouting loudly: "Roar over and kill Yelu Yanshan!" The group of Meng'an Moukes who followed him were all confidants who had been fighting for many years. He did not hesitate when he heard the orders. Groups of Jurchen cavalry gathered over and formed a forward force on the scattered battlefield, slashing the guns and bayonets, and rushed forward. More than a thousand cavalry led by General Yelu Yin of Sushi could not resist and was forced to retreat step by step.
"I'm fooled!" Yelu Yanshan stared at the enemy troops rushing towards him. At the critical moment of life and death, what they shouted was Jurchen barbarians. "These damn people are Jurchen barbarians!" Yelu Yanshan pushed away the generals who were shouting "Master General Go first". He pulled out the scimitar and shouted loudly: "The central army must not retreat, rush forward and kill these barbarians!"
