Chapter 49: The Rainbow

"Boom!"

When the city gate opened, a team of Song soldiers opened from the city. They were all full of fighting spirit and had a strange light in their eyes. Everyone had the intention of dying.

Although the number of Song soldiers in this team is not large, only 500, they are full of momentum. A sense of perseverance comes from afar, with an invincible aura, as if nothing can stop them, even if Mount Tai is standing in front, it will be pushed away by them.

The ice and snow splashed on their feet, adding a bit of power.

Yelu Bodhisattva rode on a high-headed horse and looked at the Song army who drove out of the city. He was very surprised. His eyes widened, but he was confused.

"What happened to the southerners? They didn't want to live after they drove out of the city?" Yelu Bodhisattva was stunned at first, and then became arrogant. If the Song army defended Guixin City with Guixin City, he lost the equipment for siege, and it would be impossible to capture Guixin City. Now, Guixin Army drove out of the city, it would be a death sentence.

When was the Liao army defeated the Song army in the field? The Song-Liao war lasted for hundreds of years, and the Liao army rarely lost to the Song army in the field. If even this is lost, can it still be called the warrior of the Liao Dynasty?

Yelu Bodhisattva waved his right hand and ordered loudly: "Let the array! The Southerners want to fight against the warriors of the Great Liao, so we will accompany them to the end, so that the Southerners can know the power of the warriors of the Great Liao!"

"General, take advantage of the fact that the Song army was not in line, attack quickly!" Zeng Dainian made an idea as if he was pleased.

"Bang!" With a crisp sound, the horse whip in Yelu Bodhisattva's hand whipped heavily on Zeng Da Nian's face and scolded: "You southerner, dare you to despise the slashing of the warriors of the Liao Dynasty! Humph, in the field, who have the Da Nian feared?"

He was simply disdainful to attack while the Song army was not in a position to achieve his goal, which was an insult to him.

Although the Liao army had just suffered a defeat and its spirit was already depressed, it was the elite of the world. At the command of Yelu Bodhisattva, he began to form a formation. He moved very quickly and quickly completed the formation, but he did not launch an attack and watched the Song army line up.

Wu Ji was in the formation, watching the Liao army's movements, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. This Yelu Bodhisattva was really arrogant and actually gave them enough time to arrange the array. Well, you are arrogant in front of you, and you will pay a heavy price later.

"Damn Liao Gou, how dare you look down on us so much!" The soldiers couldn't help but shouted angrily.

"Don't make a sound, line up!" Wu Ji ordered loudly, and the soldiers stopped talking and began to set up positions.

First, the horse-rejected stake was placed in the front, which was against the horse army. Behind the horse-rejected stake was the gunman, behind the gunman was the archer, and behind the archer there was a team of knife hands, which was used to protect the back. There were knife hands on both wings, which also protected the two wings from attack.

After this period of training, the Converted Army made great progress. It quickly formed the array and completed it without much effort. The formation was stable and had a rock-like temperament.

"Has the Southerners had such a formation for a long time?" Yelu Bodhisattva had a unique vision and could see at a glance that the Congxin Army was very good, and he was slightly surprised.

Of course, this kind of surprise only lasted for a short time. Then, he smiled coldly: "Working in the field, the Southerners will not be the opponent of the Great Liao Warriors for another ten years!"

Yelu Bodhisattva pulled the reins and came to the formation and shouted loudly: "Listen to the Southern People: Are you finished making an array?"

In the past, he had never asked the enemy if he had completed the array. His contempt was beyond remarkable. Qi Dabao was not angry when he was in the back formation: "Liaogou is too rampant! too rampant!"

Not only was he angry, but who was not angry? Whether it was the Song army under the city or the Ding Zhuang on the city, the people, everyone wanted to bite off Yelu Bodhisattva's flesh.

Wu Ji was very calm and shouted loudly: "You can attack!"

"Bang!" The horse whip in Yelu Bodhisattva's hand slashed with a crisp sound, and laughed to the sky: "Haha! Southerners, arrogant Southerners, dare to attack the warriors of the Liao Dynasty. Don't you want to survive? Haha!"

The laughter was loud and spread from afar, and he was extremely happy.

"Haha!" The Liao army also made a rampant laugh, with endless contempt in the laughter.

"Warriors of the Great Liao Dynasty, if the Southerners want to die, you can go and fulfill them! Let the Southerners die!" The horse whip in the hand of Yelu Bodhisattva slashed down fiercely, making a loud noise.

"Kill all the people in the south!"

"Kill all the people in the south!"

The Liao army made a shocking roar, and a team of hundreds of horsemen rushed over on horseback.

The Khitans were nomadic peoples. They grew up on horseback and were skilled in riding and shooting. When they galloped, they were powerful. Although there were only a hundred people, they were shocking, with hooves like thunder, ice and snow splashing, and a rainbow of momentum.

"I heard for a long time that the Khitan horse army is powerful, so it is extraordinary!" Wu Ji saw it and nodded in praise. He thought again: "If I have enough horses, I can form a horse army!"

While galloping, the Liao army took off their hard bows and took strong arrows, and they had to aim at the Liao army to shoot arrows. The Liao army's archery skills are like riding skills, and once they shoot arrows, they will definitely be quite harmful.

However, the Liao army had not shot arrows yet, but the arrows in the Song army were weaving a scene of arrows and covered them.

"Huh!"

When Yelu Bodhisattva saw it, he was surprised and his eyes widened.

He fought with the Song army a lot and was very familiar with the Song army's tactics, so he had never seen such a strange way of fighting. If the Song army had been shooting arrows in the past, there were not so many, and the second was that the range would not be so far. At this time, the Liao army had not yet entered the range, and they could not reach the Song army at all, so the Song army actually took action first.

The range of bows and arrows made by the Wu army was farther than that of the existing bows. When the Liao army could not reach the Song army, the Song army could shoot them.

Wu Ji gave the Converted Army a bow, regardless of the military service. Before the Liao army rushed to the front, even the gunman could seize this opportunity to shoot a few arrows to increase lethality. Five hundred people went to fight and five hundred people shot arrows. This was the first time in the Song and Liao War. Yelu Bodhisattva would not be surprised.

In ancient wars, although they had been working hard for precise shooting, it was impossible to achieve. The most effective way to kill was to form a dense firepower and strike. Five hundred people fired arrows together to form an arrow net. Under the hood, many Liao army died and injured, more than a dozen soldiers fell to the ground, and more than twenty people were injured by arrows.

One hundred people fought, and one round of arrows lost thirty or forty people. The casualties were quite high. Yelu Bodhisattva opened his mouth wide, but he made a silent sound.

In his opinion, his 100 horse army was enough to ravage the Song army. The cavalry had a natural advantage in fighting infantry, and it could almost be said to be a massacre. In the past, the Liao army had no power to fight back with the sharpness of the horse army, but today it was completely different. Yelu Bodhisattva almost fell off the horse's back in surprise.

Fortunately, the Liao army was the elite in the world. Although it suffered a lot of damage, it was not panic. It still rushed up fearlessly. As soon as it reached the range, they opened their bows and shot arrows. As soon as the Liao army fired the arrows, the Song army covered the net with another arrow. This time, the Liao army lost more than 20 people.

With two rounds of arrow rain, the Liao army lost almost two-thirds of its troops. Even with the remaining thirty or forty people, they would be unable to do anything to the Song army. Yelu Bodhisattva had to ask them to retreat.

The horse army has always been the ace army of the Liao Kingdom. The Song army has lost its temper, but today it has not rushed to the close range and has damaged so many times and has to retreat. This is the first time in the Song and Liao War. Yelu Bodhisattva was very depressed.

In this round, the Song army won completely, and only a dozen people were injured, so it was negligible.

"Long live the Song Dynasty!"

Such things are the easiest to boost morale. Ding Zhuang and the people on the city saw it and made shocking cheers. This is too satisfying. Of course, they know how terrible the Liao horse army was. If the horse army suffered a loss, that was the most satisfying thing for them.

"It's just a small victory. Don't be happy and prepare for the battle!" Wu Ji was very calm and ordered loudly.

This is a small blow to the Liao army's edge. There is nothing to be happy with. The soldiers pursed their lips tightly, making no sound, waiting for the Liao army's attack.

"The warriors of the Great Liao Dynasty must not accept the shame! Storm up and kill all the southerners!" Yelu Bodhisattva put away his underestimation, waved his right hand, and all the Liao troops pressed forward.

During the battle of siege, hundreds of people died and hundreds of people were injured. Together, more than half of the casualties were injured. However, the injured may not lose their combat power. Many people still have good combat power, and the Liao army still has more than a thousand people to join the battle.

All of them rushed up were not comparable to the one hundred horses. Infantry was in the middle, the horses were lined up in neat battle formations on both wings, like Mount Tai, rushing towards the Song army, with ice and snow splashing, and murderous aura spreading.

The first one was the Song army who shot the arrows. Five hundred people fired arrows together, killing and injuring many Liao army. Later, the Liao army also fired arrows, and the two armies shot at each other, only to see arrows flying all over the sky, taking one life after another.

Before Wu Ji reorganized the Converted Army, the Song army could only shoot arrows with more than a hundred people, and it was impossible for the Song army to have such dense arrows. Moreover, because the Song army's tactics were behind, their archery did not rely on visually measuring the distance of the enemy, but on the archer to shoot an arrow, and the arrow penetrated the enemy. The archer then fired the arrows, which caused a wasted fighter jet, which often caused "no three or four shots to the enemy" and the enemy rushed to the side.

Wu Ji changed this point and his command was entirely based on visual inspection. Moreover, his visual inspection was quite accurate. Because the arrows of the Song army would not stop, the Liao army charged all the way, but was in the rain of the Song army's arrows. The casualties were much greater than before, several times higher.

Looking at the Liao army who were constantly being shot at arrows, Yelu Bodhisattva opened his mouth wide enough to stuff a bowl of sea. He was so surprised that he couldn't even speak.

The Liao army paid more than 100 people, and had not yet rushed to the Song army. If in the past, the Liao army could rush to the Song army at most forty or fifty people, what would have happened?

The Song army changed its tactics in time?

Give the enemy the greatest damage and establish an advantage before the enemy rushes to the front. This is the iron rule of war. It is precisely because of this that long-range firepower is particularly important.

However, the Song army's tactics were greatly regressed and they were wasted fighting opportunities. It was not until the battle of monks that Wu Jie invented the "sequential shooting" that made some changes.

Wu Ji's this was an innovation, of course, the Song Dynasty, not a innovation in Chinese history. During the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties, our ancestors took the maximum of long-range strikes and kept the enemy in the rain of arrows.

Before the close battle, the Liao army paid such a high price. The soldiers were extremely happy and burst into a shocking roar: "Long live the Song Dynasty!"
