Chapter 51

There was a little light in the east just now, and the world was covered with mist. The morning wind blew on the face, like a knife cut.

The soldiers on the Wucheng Military Camp looked up at the tower stretched and said to their companions, "It's almost dawn, it's really hard to bear this night. Get up and stretch your arms, prepare to go to have a meal. Drink a bowl of porridge, eat two white flour buns, and go to sleep. I don't know how happy this day!"

Another soldier said lazily: "I was so froze that my legs and feet were soft that night. Now I just want to bake them well by the fire!"

While the two were talking, two fast riders rushed from afar. The two soldiers were stunned, stood up quickly and watched with their eyes fixed.

The two riders arrived outside the barracks and whispered loudly: "We are the cavalry under the leader of the Meng regiment, named Qiu Cheng and He Hanliang. While patrolling there, they saw that the Khitan army had arrived here on the river and were gathering the army there. It is estimated that they will come to your military camp at dawn!"

After hearing this, the soldiers in the building woke up and crossed their hands and said, "Thank you, brother, for telling me! Let's go and report to the leader of the group!"

The two below replied, turned their horse's heads and headed south like flying.

Wu Cheng had just gotten up and was wearing clothes. A personal soldier came in and said with his hands crossed his hands: "Master of the regiment, there are cavalry from the Meng regiment commander who came to report that there are Khitans in the north crossing the river. Now that the troops are being rectified, they will soon be here!"

Wu Cheng was shocked: "Is the news true? It is difficult to prevent the Khitans crossing the river at night!"

The personal soldier said: "It's just two cyclists coming to report, but I don't know if what they are saying is the truth."

Wu Cheng waved his hand: "Send the raft to see if the news is true or false! Also, order each battalion to reorganize the army immediately, and there must be no mistakes!"

The personal soldiers sang their promises with their hands and quickly walked out of the handsome tent.

Wu Cheng accelerated his clothes and ordered the personal soldiers outside to get their armor and dress neatly. He said to the personal soldiers: "After ordering each battalion to lit up the troops in the headquarters, come to my commander's tent. If the cavalry comes back, he will report it immediately!"

The east side showed a pale pale pale. Wu Cheng discussed with several battalion commanders and left the commander's tent and looked anxiously at the north. Soon, two horses rushed into the military camp. Seeing Wu Cheng standing in front of the commander's tent, they shouted: "Governor, the Khitans have arrived!"

After hearing this, Wu Cheng felt his mouth dry. He bit his lips tightly and waved his hand: "The army goes out to the camp to fight against the Khitans!"

Several battalion commanders sang together with their hands and ran back to their respective military formations. With the Wucheng army in the middle, they drove out of the military camp.

As soon as I stood up, I saw a rumble of shock. With the first light from the east, I saw countless Khitan cavalry rolling in the north. Like a storm, boundless.

Wu Cheng took a deep breath. The time was too short and the artillery was not ready, the Khitans arrived in front of the formation. They bit their lips and whispered loudly: "Each army follows the order. The Khitans entered within fifty steps and fired immediately. The three rows of fire took turns and must not slacken!

The soldiers sang loudly, and for a moment, the whole army was as powerful as the rainbow.

In the blink of an eye, the Khitan army entered dozens of steps. Amid the rumbling horse hooves, the generals could not hear the orders clearly. Some soldiers felt that the distance was almost the same, so they fired. Some soldiers waited for the orders, but only then fired in panic when they heard the sound of gunfire.

I don't know how many Khitan cavalry fell down amid the gunshots, but the entire army did not stop at all and rushed towards the Song army. Only one or two shots were fired, the Khitan cavalry rushed into the Song army formation. The steel knife in their hands was cut off at the Song army soldiers, and many fell in a pool of blood. The Song army in the front row raised the bayonets in their hands and fought with the Khitan army, fighting in a mess for a while.

Wu Cheng was anxious to see it in the middle and was anxious to attack his first battalion immediately to fight back to fight the Khitans.

Unexpectedly, there were countless Khitan troops, and they kept coming from behind with horse hooves rumbling. The Song army's military formation was already in chaos and was suppressed back to the barracks. Wu Cheng had no choice but to retreat, and was anxious in the barracks.

At this time, the sky was light and the Khitan army surrounded the barracks, and the vanguard troops kept rushing to the camp gate. In less than a cup of tea, the front camp gate was broken by the Khitans, and a large number of cavalry rushed towards the Song army.

Wu Cheng sighed: "Ten thousand enemy troops suddenly attacked, what can I do? Order the entire army to retreat! All the supplies were abandoned! The first battalion was cut off, and the other two battalions retreated to Zhanggan's military camp! Wei Yue led the first battalion to block the Khitan soldiers, and did not allow military orders and were not allowed to retreat!"

The commander of the First Battalion, Wei Yue, sang a loud voice and led his troops to slowly form a line of defense in the military camp.

Wu Cheng looked at the chaotic military camp, sighed inwardly, and took his troops to retreat to the Zhanggan military camp in the south. At the same time, he ordered his personal soldiers to go to Zhanggan's army to report the letter quickly. Don't retreat there by yourself. The Khitans chased after him, but Zhanggan was not ready yet.

Three miles away, Zhang Gan had just gotten up when his personal soldiers rushed in and said with his hands crossed his hands: "The leader of the regiment, the leader of the regiment in the north was attacked by the Khitans and could not defend. He retreated to our military camp!"

Zhang Gan was shocked and hurriedly said, "Order the entire army to arrange the formation immediately! Also, send someone to inform Xie Chi's army and be prepared at any time! Also, immediately report to Ma Taiwei in the city and say that the Khitans are coming!"

When the personal soldiers went out, Zhang Gan gently stroked his forehead, making him a little dazed. The Khitans came in a weird way, and they actually picked this time. When they got up early in the morning, the troops were relatively loose and there was no time to line up. More importantly, the rafters went out early in the morning, and there was no external reconnaissance at this time.

The trained imperial guards are arranged in an array and ready for various weapons, which is the time to have the strongest combat power. Even if the enemy attacks several times, it is difficult to break through. This is the power of the system. The current Song army has renewed weapons and the system is particularly important. However, without arrays and weapons are not complete, fighting with the Khitans becomes a chance. Good luck and complete system, you can still kill all directions. If you are not lucky and are disrupted by the Khitans, you can only leave it to fate. The Khitan cavalry has very obvious advantages against the chaotic infantry.

Pugu rode on his horse and looked back and forth at the military camp abandoned by the Song army. There were complete tents, food that had been eaten, and artillery left by the Song army. He was overjoyed. Tuguci crossed the river, but lost his troops and generals, and was forced back by the Song army. He crossed the river by himself, and then he killed the Song army and seized their tent. There were so many ripple points that he could make great contributions.

Seeing Dongfang showing a red light, he turned to look at the slowly retreating Song army formation. Pu Gu raised his steel knife and whispered: "My boys, it's too early. As I chase you, kill for a while! These Song people, without the city and the help of artillery, will they be our opponent!"

The soldiers cheered together and danced with their swords. The failures these days have been a long time, which made the Khitans very depressed. This big victory can sweep away the bad luck in the past few days. If they can win another game, it will be really exciting.

Zhang Gan rode on the horse and looked at the retreating Wu Cheng troops from the north, and was nervous. The day before yesterday, Meng Xuejiao won a big victory, and the Song army felt that he was strong and the Khitans must be no match. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by the Khitans in just one day.
