Chapter 702 A big fight
"Ah..." In the messy Zhuozhou Fort, the Zhou army generals roared in despair, surrounded by corpses and screaming wounded soldiers. Several Liao army Xi soldiers were stabbing a Zhou army soldier with a spear. One of the Xi soldiers waved their iron bones and hit the soldier's helmet with a "clang", and sparks splashed.
The red flag of the village army fell to the ground and was trampled back and forth by boots.
The riots were forced to the middle of the houses. Some were fighting, while some were holding crossbows. The gate of the fort opened, and the Liao cavalry rushed in frantically. The iron bones and spears in the hands of the cavalry were like the sticks in the hands of the black and white impermanent. Death and despair were approaching rapidly with the horse's hooves!
Several soldiers fled into Dutou's room. They hurriedly closed the door and pressed their backs against the wooden door panel. There was a clear sound of "grizzing" from someone's teeth. He cried and said, "I just knew that the imperial grain was not eaten for nothing..."
It’s useless to hide here, the entire fortress is so big that there is no place to hide.
He took out an exquisite silk embroidered purse from his arms, looked at the soldiers, and said nothing. He quickly blew a piece of paper on the table a few times, then hurriedly folded it together regardless of the wet handwriting, and put the suicide note in the purse. He thought about it, took out another piece of gold and put it in the purse, and then carefully stuffed the purse into the lining bag.
After finishing all these things, he grabbed the scabbard on the table, walked to the door, pulled out the sword, stepped on the horse, stared at the door panel. He turned around and said, "Don't be afraid, you must die, kill one person each!"
The door panel did not move for a long time, so he picked up a pair of helmets on the ground, put them on a soldier's disheveled hair, and then reminded him: "Don't hide, our armor is good, and the enemy attacks me, and I will attack him as long as I cut him!"
But after a long time, there was still no movement, and even the sound of horse hooves and shouts outside became less.
Everyone carefully opened the door panel and looked out and saw that the ground was full of corpses and groaning wounded soldiers. Where were there any enemy soldiers? The gate opposite the village was empty and open there.
"The Liao army ran away?" a soldier said in a trembling voice.
Dutou immediately walked out of the door, carried his sword and ran up the earth wall from the earth rammed steps, and his vision suddenly widened. Nearby, the Liao army dropped many catapults, ladders, and ladders, retreating like a tide, and a large area of people on the snowfield were surging to the north.
At the end of the sight, there was a faint black line in the white place on the horizon!
The head finally understood and turned around excitedly and shouted: "Reinforcements are coming!"
The remaining scattered soldiers and injured people shouted hoarsely, and some even cried. A soldier said in a daze: "I will marry the Widow Wang at the entrance of the village when I go back. I shouldn't have scolded her before leaving..."
...Shi Yanchao was jogging on a big horse, and Li Chuyun, who was in front of the left, covered his eyebrows with his palm, blocking the slightly westward sunlight in the sky, and squinted his eyes and looked at the distance.
Behind them, the flags floated like clouds, and the large group of horses roared "rumble..."
Li Chuyun looked at it and said, "The Liao army first withdrew the encirclement, and then gathered the horses to come up to block us."
Shi Yanchao immediately said happily: "Li Dianjian led the brigade from the south to Zhuozhou, and Shi led his troops to fight against the Liao army!"
Li Chuyun said: "It's great! After General Shi penetrated the cavalry of the Liao army, he must not fight and quickly approach Zhuozhou. I will be able to support him. Beware of being surrounded!"
Shi Yanchao immediately clasped his fists and said, "Get orders!"
He immediately raised his palm, turned his head and shouted, "Come on Shi's troops, come with him!"
The Zhou army's horses gradually began to divert like a flood, and the heavy cavalry of the front army ran northwest. When the two armies separated, Shi Yanchao's men and horses gradually slowed down, forming three cavalrymen, which looked like "Pin" in front, and like a cluster of arrows.
Shi Yanchao's personal soldiers held several large flags with different characters such as "Shi", "Forward", and "Da Zhou". The horse herd ran again, and the iron armored knights were undulating on the horse's back. The horse's hooves gradually raised the snowflakes on the ground. The white snowflakes were like water splashes, and the roar of the iron hooves was like thunder.
In the distance ahead, a large number of Liao cavalry rushed forward. The wide cross-section formed a military advantage over Shi Yanchao's troops, and the momentum was very surging!
Shi Yanchao was not afraid at all. He slapped the horse's strong buttocks and raised his iron spear to speed up. The army followed, and the entire horse group ran faster and faster. A large number of people gathered together. The speed could no longer be stopped!
The cavalry on both sides gradually approached, as slow as it was fast. Shi Yanchao covered his fur and mail, but he also heard the sound of wind whistling in his ears. Things on the ground became more and more blurred, and only the cavalry soldiers paralleled on both sides seemed to be still.
"Papapapapa..." A dense sound of strings as dense as fried beans came from the wind. When Shi Yanchao looked up, the black dots in the air quickly became larger. The "dingding" sound of impact even the shoulder was obviously hit, but the arrow cluster was immediately bounced away by the plate armor.
"Kill! Kill!" Shi Yanchao yelled unscrupulously.
The Zhou army cavalry suddenly accelerated, and three iron cavalry rushed away like arrows! The speed at this time made Shi Yanchao excited, and his blood was surging. He stared with his eyes wide open and focused. Such stimulation was simply a kind of enjoyment. He felt that he was already a mortal, but his power was infinite!
"Huh!" Shi Yanchao put in the cavalry close to the front, and the heavy guns in his hand were shot straight away. With a loud "bang", the gun pierced through the torso of a cavalry, as if piercing a piece of tofu! The cavalry immediately fell from the horse, and even the mount of the Liao soldier behind him "necked" and knelt down. The blood mist splashed in the air soon came to his face.
In an instant, a group of iron spears flew out of the air. The iron spears were invincible with the weight and the speed of the war horses charging, and even the Liao army could not stop them. For a moment, a group of enemy soldiers in the central government were caught, and the people were on their backs and screamed in pain. The scene was like the enemy soldiers rushed over and stepped on a trap!
"Huo..." The soldiers of the Zhou army roared in unison, and their momentum immediately grew stronger, and the roar shook the world. The soldiers were in high spirits and rushed forward bravely.
Shi Yanchao changed another iron spear from his left hand to his right hand, and pulled out another branch from his back with his left hand! Before he could throw it again, he had already rushed into the Liao army's horse group, and stabbed him to the right with a shot. There was a violent metal collision sound, and the violent collision made people everywhere tremble with fear!
Shi Yanchao skillfully relaxed his hand, and the iron spear had entered the torso of the Liao cavalry. The two cavalry were facing the extreme speed of the rushing head-on, and Shi Yanchao's huge arm strength attacked forward. The knights on the Liao army's war horse were very exaggerated, and they flew backwards in the air with their guns!
"Clang!" A moment later, a dazzling spark flashed, and a broken iron sword flew into the air.
As soon as the two armies came into contact, the Liao army had not had time to surround Shi Yanchao's troops from the left and right wings with the width of the front. Shi Yanchao had led the crowd straight into the Liao army's horse group!
The sound of killing in the battle formation was shaking the sky, and weapons were dancing. A group of horses were surging like a flood in the turbulent flow. During the fight, arrows flew in the air, and sharp guns rushed around quickly. Someone in the group of horses kept falling off his horses. The scene was very terrifying. The shouts were even more terrifying. In the running cavalry, there were no cowards, and they would die if they stopped! Everyone was forced to become an indomitable warrior.
Although the Liao army came to block the attack, the depth was not enough, and it was quickly penetrated by Shi Yanchao's troops. The Liao army shot and siege from the left and right wings, and chased after them. The bows and arrows of the two armies flew around "crackling".
Shi Yanchao rushed straight into the fortress group, and the Zhou cavalry entered the fortification area one after another. The Liao army chased after him, and the crossbows on the earthen walls of the fortress were farther than those on the cavalry, and even crossbows with thick arms flew in the air! The Liao cavalry was very disadvantaged when approaching the fortress group, and it was difficult to unfold between the fortress groups, so the pursuit was blocked.
At this time, Li Chuyun's troops also supported the support from the left wing in the south, and the Liao army could no longer stop the Zhou cavalry from joining the Zhuozhou army.
Outside Zhuozhou City, infantry and cavalry gathered everywhere, and people were everywhere. On the field, the city towers and fortresses were faintly visible. The army formed a formation and the horse soldiers gathered around made it look like a huge military camp.
Shi Yanchao saw Li Chuyun's huge square flag and rode his horse over. At this time, his armor was covered with blood, and he was big, and it was very terrifying to ride on the horse. When he arrived at Li Chuyun's central army, Han Tong also rode over. He clasped his fists and said, "I have been waiting for Li Dian for a long time."
Li Chuyun said directly: "There are only more than 20,000 elite cavalry in the front hall that reinforced Zhuozhou."
Han Tong said excitedly: "It's good to have reinforcements! There are more soldiers to attack, and fewer soldiers can defend. This general divides the infantry into four formations and arranges four corners; Li Dianjian's elite cavalry is in the middle, wherever the Liao army attacks, the cavalry can quickly reinforce and support the defense of fortresses, and our army's defense can be guaranteed without any worries!"
After Han Tong said that, he paused and then clasped his fists and said, "Please make a decision."
In one sentence, Han Tong was still very sensible... Li Chuyun was the boss of the Palace Front Office, and Han Tong was the highest military general of the Guards' Cavalry. If the previous rules were followed, the military rank of the Guards' Cavalry would be higher; but now the commander of the Palace Front Office is more prosecutor, and he is actually the highest-level military general.
Li Chuyun glanced at Han Tong and said, "This is a bit wonderful. First, protect Zhuozhou. The fortress covers a very wide area, and more than 100,000 people cannot surround the entire place. We can also attack us if we guard it."
It is only a possibility to take the initiative, but in fact, it is obvious that the attacking force is insufficient. The young soldiers in Zhuozhou can also fight with the Liao army outside the city, relying on the fulcrum of fortifications; once they leave the nearby area, the gap in field forces will be too big.
However, Li Chuyun's reinforcements were only the first batch!
Li Chuyun took out another letter with ugly handwriting and handed it to Han Tong and said, "Your Majesty's letter is written by you. General Han, please take a look."
