In the vaguely visible sky, teams of cavalry suddenly appeared in the distance of the Xiangzhou regiment training army, which was on the night. It was not until this time that the sound of horse hooves were heard. Needless to say, these were the brigades of cavalry, all of which were covered with cloth shovels, people held a piece of cake, and horses picked up bells. Last night, the troops were sent and attacked the Song army camp.

Not only the cavalry, but also the four-vehicle army and the infantry of the Jingzhou soldiers, came like a tide. These Liao people's cavalry, either holding guns or holding bows, formed a brigade of two or three hundred cavalry, galloping around the Song army camp, as if they were trying to find the Song people's cavalry to protect the camp, but they found nothing.

Most of the infantry were wearing heavy armor and holding hard shields and swords and spears. Some Jingzhou soldiers with only robes covered their bodies were walking in the forefront and pushing the temporarily modified shield chariot! These shield chariots were modified with carriages loaded with gold, silver, silk, copper coins to the Liaoying. They were nailed onto the carriage and pushed by strong soldiers to resist the Tianjin crossbow of the Song army!

As we approached a little closer, the sound of horse hooves, shouts, and wheels rolling sounds finally mixed together and merged into a rumbling sound. The 20,000 regiments of training that covered the entire east bank of the Qi River (and half of the regiments of training were on the west bank of the Qi River)!

The Xiangzhou regiment on duty shouted loudly: "Enemy attack! Liao soldiers!"

More shrill shouts also sounded, and the sound of golden drums on the tower was loudly pounding and calling the police desperately. The soldiers who were resting in the camp were alarmed and all came out of the tent. Most of them had neither weapons nor armor in their hands, but they just looked at them with their mouths open, and were at a loss.

"Put your armor! Scout the guy!"

The heads of the troops who were training the regiment finally reacted and yelled tremblingly. These people were not well-trained professional officers, but were just landlords with some force in Xiangzhou. By the standards of later generations, they were bully landlords!

Although the Song Dynasty emphasized literature and military affairs, it did not have the fame of scholars or scholars. If scholars in the Song Dynasty could not be awarded the Jinshi, they would be poor and had a big fortune. The power in the local area was not as good as martial arts, and they could also raise a few bully landlords who could at least take the baojia, act as clerks, and suppress the local area.

So in a hurry, famous families like the Han family in Xiangzhou can use these bully landlords to quickly gather a group to practice Baojia.

However, these bully landlords were not professional officers after all, and they had never been on the battlefield. After the peace talks between the Song and Liao dynasties, their tense nerves relaxed, and they were somewhat disappointed. For the regiment trainees, the sudden end of the war means economic losses, and these bully officers lost the opportunity to obtain an official position. Therefore, they relaxed their control over their subordinates and even let them go. Many people drank last night and were dizzy for a while, and didn't know what to do?

Zong Ze immediately reacted and ordered loudly: "Each battalion has drawn people to serve on the battalion wall! Each battalion and team are not allowed to cause trouble. At this time, those who are in conflict with the morale of the army will be killed! In addition, immediately send people across the river to ask Taiwei Gao for help!

Everyone is in their own position, and they are also in the middle of supervising the battle. Liaogou cannot break the camp! As long as they persist until dawn, Taiwei Gao will lead his army to aid. Everyone will have their contributions at that time!"

Most of the personal soldiers behind Zong Ze responded and sent orders to the camps. Surrounded by the remaining personal soldiers, Zong Ze walked towards the camp where the copper coins were stored. Zong Ze, who had been training for the regiment for several months, knew that copper coins were the best way to boost morale! Although the morale was so low that it was almost at the 18th floor underground, as long as a basket of copper coins were carried out, the morale of the regiment for training over there would be back soon.

At this time, Zong Ze was also confused. What does the Liao people mean? They had to take so much money and sneak attack on the alliance!

Could it be that Yelu Yanxi really wants to enter the Central Plains? Who do he think he is? Is it Yelu Deguang, Emperor Taizong of Liao?

It's simply crazy!

...

The battlefield west of Qi River was originally a wide open land with flat horses. The Liao people's squadrons approached the Song army camp under the cover of night. As the sky brightened, it was finally confirmed that Yelu Yanxi was really crazy!

The Liao army dispatched countless troops and horses. Behind the cavalry of the brigade, there were countless infantry soldiers, almost covering the entire front!

The crossbowmen who trained the Xiangzhou regiment finally stepped onto the wall with the big baskets of copper coins, standing behind the chest wall piled up by sandbags. All the crossbows were on arrowheads, and the heads of the crossbows pointed to the sky! The officers leading the teams held a cold sweat in their palms, watching the Liao army's infantry pushing the shield chariot, gradually approaching their own range.

Although these shield cars are simplest equipment, they suddenly hit the point of Xiangzhou regiment training.

This regiment trains the army is just a newly opened militia. It has no strong combat power and can still maintain combat by relying on Tianjin crossbow shooting. It is not possible to ask them to form a formation and fight in person.

In the era of cold weapons, truly powerful infantry will always be heavy armored infantry that can carry out strong and hold sharp edges to fight against the enemy in hand and blades. Infantry that can only shoot archery is difficult to cause a truly fatal blow to the enemy.

No matter how powerful the Divine Arm Bow is, it cannot compare to the spear formation that is as powerful as the forest!

From this perspective, Yelu Yanxi avoided Wu Haogu's new army and launched an offensive strategy on Hebei West Road. Because the infantry and cavalry under Wu Haogu, whose main tactics are arrayed and attacked hand-to-hand combat, is easy to bleed a lot of Khitans.

In the current battle, because the crossbow can only shoot directly, the ejection effect is extremely poor, it seems difficult to exert its power when facing the Liao army pushing the shield cart.

Just when the crossbowmen and officers leading the team were at a loss (the quality was too poor. If they were officers from Wu Haogu, they would not panic at all, and the shield chariot could not pass the trench at all), the shield chariots stopped moving more than thirty steps away from the wall of the Xiangzhou military camp.

"Why are they not moving?" Zong Ze, who had already climbed a high platform, asked about the military opportunity of Xiangzhou regiment training.

A member of the Xiao family, a gangster from the Han family, replied with a military opportunity: "They are going to shoot feather arrows!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sturdy sound of bowstrings came. Then he saw arrows flying in the sky at an extremely fast speed, throwing a perfect arc, and then falling like raindrops.

The landing point is very accurate, it is the wall of the Xiangzhou military camp.

The archers of the Liao people shot heavy arrows with armor-breaking arrows, which were extremely powerful to attack the Xiangzhou regiment training army, which had only paper armor and leather helmets, although the Xiangzhou regiment training army had obtained the warp armor provided by Ji Yi, but the number was not large, and it was only equipped with cavalry and officers. Ordinary soldiers only had paper armor and leather helmets. Under the densely covered and heavy arrows, many people suddenly fell down screaming.

Hearing the crossbowman he commanded let out screams, the little bullies leading the team were panicked and ordered to fight back.

This is of course an extremely wrong decision! Because the standard tactic set by the Knights Academy for Tianjin Crossbows is close-range stacking, that is, the firepower is fully fired at once, without seeking continuous firepower. Therefore, after each stacking, there will be a firepower vacuum period.

If the firepower of the overlapping can be fully developed, then the defects of the firepower vacuum period are nothing. Because the lethality of the dense overlapping of Tianjin crossbows is something that most troops in this era cannot bear. After a round of overlapping, the spear assault is just!

However, during the battle this morning, the busy Xiangzhou regiment crossbowmen shot all the arrows onto the enemy's shield car.

The Liao Dynasty Jingzhou soldiers guarding the back of the shield car had been waiting for this opportunity. They took advantage of the vacuum period after the Tianjin crossbows to carry the earthblocks and poured the earthblocks into the trench in front of the shield car.

The Liao people originally wanted to fill the trench and then push the shield chariot all the way under the wall that Xiangzhou Tuanlian insisted on!

Zong Ze, who witnessed all this on the high platform, turned pale and immediately shouted to the personal soldiers beside him, "Hurry, go to the training office of Taiwei Gao and the Han regiment, and let them send troops to rescue immediately!"

...

Gao Qiu already knew that the Liao people were struggling to break into the camp at this time!

His reaction was similar to Zong Ze, and he was a little confused at once.

What's going on? Why did the Liao people just collect money? Is Yelu Yanxi going to take over the Song Dynasty? No, he doesn't want to make a living in the Jin Dynasty?

No! Wu Haogu must have withdrawn from Xijin Mansion... His army came to take advantage of the victory and returned in defeat. It was not that easy to mobilize again.

Now that the crisis on the Eastern Front of the Liao people has been lifted, we can focus on the Western Front! Yelu Yanxi concentrated his troops to attack his own camp, in order to destroy the Lingzhou army and Xiangzhou army in one fell swoop!

If it is spiritual, the two soldiers of the prime ministers will be defeated. Only four generals will be left to defend Kaifeng Prefecture... The Kaifeng Model New Army is not equipped with cavalry, and its field combat capabilities will be severely discounted.

Without field combat capabilities, naturally, the Liao soldiers cannot resist the control of the Yellow River embankment!

"Gao Qiu ruined the country! Gao Qiu ruined the country!"

Taiwei Gao, who was so scared that he was so scared, roaring twice, which scared Li Yongqi, Wu Song and Yang Keshi in the commander's tent.

"Don't panic," Lingzhou infantry general Wu Song patted his chest and said, "The camp on the west bank of the Qi River is protected by someone, and it is foolproof! Let Punishment Zong Tong abandon the East Village and retreat to the Qi River."

Li Yongqi also said: "The Grand Marshal and the Second Brother Wu said very well. Just let the Zong Tong retreat across the Qi River. Our army's supplies are all in the Hexi camp. As long as Hexi is not lost, the Liao people will have nothing to do."

"How could there be no way?" Gao Qiu stomped his feet, "The Lord Liao will come to the Yellow River embankment next! As long as the embankment is dug when the water rises in the next spring, the water will flood Kaifeng Prefecture!"

ah……

This imagination is too rich!

Li Yongqi and Wu Song were both stunned. Yang Keshi asked, "Taiwei, how should we deal with it?"

"Wu Erlang," Gao Qiu said, "Your troops are ready for war and are ready to attack at any time!" Then he said to Yang Keshidao, "If you scatter the roars, you must understand the movements of the Liao people!"
