Chapter 13 The Destiny of Time is a Great Fall-4
The sudden arrival of the Liao cavalry immediately plunged the already chaotic Hebei camp into even greater chaos. The Liao cavalry rushed straight into the camp through the opened village gate, setting fire everywhere while hacking and killing the fleeing people.
Soldiers, hoofbeats, whistling, and blazing fire. The Hebei frontier army had been fighting with the Liao people for nearly a hundred years. When they saw the Liao cavalry rushing in, they all picked up various large guns, Mazha knives, shields and other weapons.
Weapons, regiments of three, and groups of five fought spontaneously. More archers hid behind the messy camps and baggage, firing arrows at the Liao cavalry. They boldly broke into the iron forest of the Song army camp.
The army ignored the losses along the way and the cavalry trampled through the mess in the camp. They broke through the loose resistance of the Song army along the way and rushed towards the commander's tent in the middle of the camp.
Zhao Xingde carefully hid in the shadow of the tent, holding a long spear in his arms and watching the Liao cavalry. The Tielin Army shouted loudly and passed through the middle of the camp like wind and lingering clouds. Most of the cavalry rushed towards the commander's tent.
, a small number of them scattered along the way, throwing torches covered with rosin everywhere, and the flames were blazing, reflecting flickering lights and shadows on his face. Around him, Song troops kept attacking the Liao cavalry with spears, bows and arrows, but more of them were attacked by the Liao cavalry.
Rush away and trample. At this time, a Liao cavalry rushed forward. He did not see clearly the Xing De hidden in the shadow. After throwing a torch on the tent, he reined in his horse and stopped suddenly. He was about to turn his horse's head and continued towards the commander.
Zhao Xingde jumped up like a spring and used all his strength to plunge his spear into the back of the cavalry. The horse was frightened, jumped up on all four hooves, and ran away with the dead cavalry.
No one around saw this scene. Zhao Xingde just spat on the ground, as if to vent his grievances.
At this time, all the cavalrymen of the Liao State rushed to the central tent of the camp. In groups of three or four, they threw the lasso and landed on the top of the tent. The horses pulled together with all their strength. In a short time, a large area was cleared around the tent.
In the open space that was conducive to cavalry galloping, more cavalry began to tentatively shoot and fire arrows at the Song army's commander's tent. Some heavily armored Tielin troops had begun to gather into hundreds of clusters, preparing to launch an attack on the commander's tent.
Attack. The remaining cavalry, a group of two to three hundred, galloped around the Hebei camp, attacking and trampling on the stragglers who had gathered together.
The Liao cavalry kept galloping around the camp and fired arrows. Zhao Xingde did not dare to get too close and only watched from a distance with other soldiers. At this time, he saw the Song army moving away the antlers, and a group of cavalry braved
With the rain of arrows, they rushed out with their spears in hand, and immediately opened a gap for the Liao cavalry outside. The Song army in the camp was like a flood, rushing eastward along the road where the cavalry rushed out.
"Commander is running away!" "Let's all rush out together!" Seeing this, the soldiers of the Song Army around him followed behind the only organized Song Army in the camp. Zhao Xingde was hugged by the soldiers, and also held
With long spears, they ran desperately, and cavalry from the Liao Kingdom kept catching up from behind, wielding machetes and slashing to kill the Song soldiers who were just trying to escape with the brigade. The fires around the camp were getting fiercer and fiercer, and I didn’t know how many more were left outside.
The Liao cavalry were galloping around and killing people. As long as they ran in the middle of the team, they were at least somewhat protected. My ears were filled with the wild shouts and screams of the soldiers, as well as the frantic hooves and shouts of the Khitan cavalry.
His chest was about to explode, and Zhao Xingde did not dare to stop. Soldiers from the Song Dynasty kept falling behind, and these people became perfect targets for massacre by the cavalry following him.
When being chased by the enemy, you don't have to run faster than a war horse, just run a little faster than your comrades. Zhao Xingde thought this sentence silently in his heart, but felt that his legs and feet were getting weaker and weaker, and his mouth was dry.
My tongue is dry, the smell of blood rushes straight to my nose, and my heartbeat is almost extremely fast. I really want to lie down and let the Liao people come to kill me and let the horses trample me, but a will to survive comes again.
Supporting him, he continued to run. As the Song army following the deployment brigade was getting further and further away from the camp, some Liao cavalry had already surpassed them, but they dismissed these defeated soldiers and pursued the Song cavalry closely.
While leaving, the rest took their time to kill the Song troops who were lagging behind.
There were fewer and fewer Song troops around him. A Liao cavalry seemed to have noticed Zhao Xingde and galloped towards him. Zhao Xingde heard the sound of horse hooves approaching behind him and tried his best to run as fast as he could, but the sound of horse hooves still got louder and louder.
He was so close that he didn't dare to look back, but he heard a scream not far behind him. Just when he was about to despair, suddenly a group of Song cavalry turned back to kill. The first one bent his bow and arrow, and with a whoosh
The arrow shot out, Xing De only heard the hoofs of the horses behind him, and then the Liao war horses ran away from him with the cavalry who had the arrow in their faces. The infantry who were desperately fleeing had no time to cheer, and the cavalry who turned back to fight
They did not stop, and before the chasing Khitan cavalry had time to form a group, they fired arrows and spears, forcing the chasing Liao cavalry to stop their pursuit.
At this time, the Song army deserters in front slowed down and gradually became crowded, and Zhao Xingde also rushed forward with the crowd. A vast river suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Xingde's eyes. Looking from a distance, the water surface was boundless and there were already countless
Tens of thousands of defeated soldiers of the Song Army gathered around the dock. Zhao Xingde had just been running with the group for a long time without knowing the direction. At this moment, he looked and saw that he had arrived at the dock of Beiliu River in the Yellow River. Dozens of sea-going ships were docked at the dock. He could see them from a distance.
, it seemed that the people on the ship were desperately throwing some useless cargo and ballast stones into the sea. Several ships had already pulled up their anchors and slowly sailed away. The people of the Zhenbei Army desperately maintained order and stopped the rioters.
They were crowded onto the ship. On the periphery of the dock, there were corpses of dead people and horses everywhere. It can be imagined that the Zhenbei Army and the Liao cavalry who followed everyone here had experienced a fierce battle.
Although the chasing Khitan cavalry were temporarily defeated by the Zhenbei Army, most of the defeated soldiers who fled here had lost all fighting spirit. Many people claimed that they saw Tong Guan getting on the boat and about to escape by sea!
"The officer ran away!" "Let grandpa get on the boat!" "Don't stay here to be killed by the Khitans!" They had just experienced the roar of the camp and the sneak attack of the Khitan cavalry. The fleeing soldiers were now on the verge of collapse.
He lost his mind even more and ignored the obstruction of the Zhenbei Army in front. While shouting and swearing, he rushed towards the sea ship with all his strength. However, those dozens of sea ships could only accommodate thousands of people. If they were all deployed, you would really
They made plans to abandon the army. I'm afraid those left behind would either be killed by the Liao cavalry or jump into the sea.
"The army is defeated like a mountain!" Such a sentence came to Zhao Xingde's mind. Defeated soldiers kept coming here. He couldn't help but push and crowd with the soldiers around him. Some people had already been trampled to the ground, alive.
Trampled to death.
The troops mistakenly thought that Tong Guan was deployed in the far camp. At this time, he was standing on the berth of an official ship moored in the port in embarrassment, looking at the extremely narrow area of the dock, where Song troops were surging everywhere.
Head, looking from here, these people are like ants in the tide, but if I really abandon this tens of thousands of troops and escape back to Tokyo, I am afraid that I will not escape the death penalty. And further away, hundreds of Khitan cavalry who arrived earlier are coming again.
They seemed to be a little worried about the large number of Song troops, so they only watched from a distance.
Tong Guan's face turned pale. Beside him, it turned out that Tian Shizhen, Shang Qiong, Hu Ce'an and other generals from the Hebei camp had disappeared long ago. There were only a few generals left. If it weren't for Han Shizhong of the Zhenbei Second Army just now
After desperately fighting off the Khitan cavalry who were following them, I was afraid that the Yellow River was already filled with floating corpses.
"Commander, Hejian is an important border town. If Hejian is not protected and the Khitans march straight in, it will be detrimental to the commander!" Wang Yan, the marching Sima, said in a deep voice. His face was ashen. Tong Guan had followed him last night.
Tong Guan heard that there seemed to be a lot of Liao cavalry galloping in the direction of Hejian Fucheng, so he immediately decided to escape towards the dock.
, immediately boarded the ship, which made Wang Yan even more furious. Despite this, he still followed the etiquette of his subordinates and dissuaded Tong Guan not to abandon the army. Otherwise, even if others don't care, Jinyan Mansion will definitely be in the official's house.
