Chapter 59: Fierce Battle (Part 2)

It is not uncommon to attack with attack in war, but it is just rare. Generally speaking, one side attacks, the other side needs to defend, so as to consume the enemy's vitality and achieve the greatest results as much as possible. As is the case now, it is rare to use attack to attack with attack and not give in to each other.

For nothing else, the two armies were really dissatisfied with each other and could not lose to others. For the Liao army, the Song army was so brave that it was not only plundering the Liao territory, but also waiting for them here. It was unbearable. The hundreds of years of Song-Liao wars have always been the Liao army. The Song army either fled when they saw the Liao army, or they shrank in the city and did not dare to come out, relying on the solid city to stick to it.

Like today, it is not common to have a formation in the field and fight against the Liao army, and even if there is one, it can be ignored. The Liao army only has one idea in mind, and we must teach the Song army a lesson so that the Song army can know its effectiveness.

For the Song army, this was the most enjoyable time in the hundreds of years of Song-Liao wars. They went deep into the Liao territory to plunder, which made them gain a lot, with high morale and great confidence. They finally had the ability to fight field battles with the Liao army, so how could they not be happy?

With Wu Ji's order, the Song army was like tigers going down the mountain, full of energy, and the military formation moved like Mount Tai, with an indestructible momentum.

"Breaking the barbarian bow, shoot!"

Wu Ji guessed that the distance was almost the same. With a command, the Breaking Gun bow showed its power. Countless crossbow arrows appeared in the air, breaking the air barrier and rushing towards the Liao army.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Screams continued, and many Liao troops were caught in the air.

"It's so strange. How could the southerners have such a far-reaching crossbow?" Yelu Zhaoda was strange.

What made him even more frustrated was that the Song army launched a large-scale killing of the Liao army and used the defeated bow to shoot at a long range, but the Liao army was helpless with the Song army. The Liao army was not without strong crossbows, but the strong crossbows they had were as bulky as the strong crossbows of the Song army before, and it was too bulky. It was inconvenient to shoot while moving, and it was basically useless.

The Liao army's powerful crossbows were not suitable for this kind of battle, and the Liao army's bows and arrows were far from enough, so the result was only one-sided shooting. This has not happened in the hundreds of years of the Song-Liao War. Yelu Zhao was as frustrated as he would be.

"I don't believe it. How many can you shoot? The southerners' crossbows cannot be killed by three or four attacks, and many people cannot die." Yelu Zhao was still judging based on his previous experience, so he was very wrong.

What surprised him was that the Song army had continuous crossbow arrows, and there was no gap. One round after another shot, and there were many people who were shot in the Liao army and the price was much greater than before.

"This... the Southern people changed their tactics very quickly?" Yelu Zhao was puzzled, but ordered the Liao army to charge quickly. In this case, the earlier they rushed to the Song army, the less casualties, and his handling was very correct.

It has to be said that the Liao army in Zhuozhou is worthy of being an elite force, and it charges like a rainbow. Although the Song army has a large number of crossbow arrows and the Liao army is expensive, no one hesitates, and no one retreats and moves forward.

"It is not a blessing that Liao dogs can dominate for a hundred years, but there is a reason for this." Wu Ji saw it and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Run! Rush!" Yelu Zhao shouted.

The Liao army yelled "kill all the southern people" and rushed towards the Song army. As soon as the range of the bow and arrows reached, the Liao army began to shoot arrows and fight back. The Song army could also use bows to shoot with bows, and the arrows became more dense.

The two armies shot at each other, and countless arrows flew through the air, densely packed, even flies could not survive.

"Hey! The Southerners often use bows and arrows?" Yelu Zhao was smart and soon discovered the difference between the Song army and the past. If it were in the past, the Song army would not use bows and arrows except archers, which really surprised him.

"So what? Can you be the opponent of the warriors of the Great Liao army?" Yelu Zhao immediately followed by contempt.

Archery is the specialty of the Liao army, and it is impossible to lose to the Song army. Yelu Zhao really has the capital to be proud of.

"Pi Li bullets, throw them!" Wu Ji gave the order, and countless thunderbolts were thrown at the Liao army.

"Pi Li Bomb?" Yelu Zhao raised his eyebrows and felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, the shocking explosion sounded, and the Liao army screamed endlessly, and countless casualties were killed and injured, and the remaining limbs flew around, blood splattered, and the ground was dyed red. Whether it was a man or a horse, once it was blown up, it would be injured if it was not killed.

With just one round of bombing, the Liao army suffered many casualties, and that was particularly miserable, which was a disability that Yelu Zhao had never seen before.

It was the first time that the Liao army in Zhuozhou encountered a thunderbolt bombing. When they heard it, they were shocked, not knowing what had happened. The war horses could not bear it and couldn't help but cry out. For a moment, people shouted and neighed, and became chaotic.

Yelu Zhao saw it and couldn't help but be shocked. For an army, a dignified formation is the most powerful. Once it is confused, it means danger.

However, Wu Ji did not give him a chance at all, and he kept ordering the Song army to throw the thunderbolt. The thunderbolt was the favorite of the Song army. When he saw the thunderbolt, he was full of excitement and used all his strength to throw the thunderbolt. He saw the thunderbolt flying in the air, covering the Liao army in pieces.

Explosions continued, firelights appeared one after another, more and more Liao troops were killed and injured, and the Liao troops' formation became more and more chaotic.

"Stay! Stay!" Although Yelu Zhao was frightened, he was not afraid at all. He yelled in the formation, inspiring morale and asking the Liao army to attack.

With his inspiration, the chaos of the Liao army was curbed, and the Song army was still rushing towards the Song army without fear of death. With the smoke of gunpowder, the Liao army finally rushed to the front of the Song army, but they were greeted by the bright Modao.

He raised his swords high and slashed them hard, like huge mirrors, shining in the sunlight, which was very terrifying.

Every time the Modao thunders, large pieces of blood splattered and a large amount of minced meat were scattered. The Liao army could not shake the Song army's formation at all.

"Oh my God! Mo Dao!" Yelu Zhao couldn't help but feel shocked when he looked at Mo Dao who was raised high and slashed hard.

Modao was a nightmare for the Khitans. Back then, when Wu Zetian sent a brigade of partial troops to sweep the Khitans, the power of the Modao made the Khitans tremble. Although hundreds of years have passed, it was still a nightmare for the Khitans. Yelu Zhao never expected that seeing Modao here was really scared.

He was an expert, and he could see at a glance that the Song army was very proficient in the use of Modao, and was not inferior to the Tang army. In front of Modao, no matter whether you are a human or a horse, as long as you are a flesh and blood body, you will be killed if you rush forward. That is not something that the flesh and blood body can resist.

"If I had known this, I would not charge, but would have distanced myself and fought with the southerners." Yelu Zhao regretted it very much.

Modao is extremely sharp and irresistible, but it has a fatal flaw, which is that it is too heavy and too labor-intensive to last. Once the war is in a stalemate stage and a war of attrition is carried out, Modao will be unsustainable.

The battle was the director of the Liao army. The Liao army had many war horses, and they came and went like the wind. They could use the Liao army's rapid maneuver ability to use Mo Daozhe's strength to use the Liao army's rapid maneuver ability.

Yelu Zhao is worthy of being a good general. His idea is very correct, but it is too late and there is no chance to implement it. Under the command of Wu Ji, the cavalry of the Song army had already rushed toward the Liao army like a whirlwind, preparing to cut off the Liao army's retreat.

Wu Ji had no intention of contempt for the Liao army, let alone Yelu Zhao was still a good general. If the Liao army's retreat was not cut off at this time, then once Yelu Zhao woke up and implemented new tactics, although it might not be defeated, it would prolong the war. This was not what Wu Ji wanted. Therefore, when Wu Ji saw that the fighter was mature, he immediately ordered the cavalry to attack and penetrated directly into the back of the Liao army.

"Are you going to compare with the cavalry? Hehe!" Yelu Zhao looked at the charge of the Song Dynasty cavalry, not only not angry, but laughed easily. The cavalry was the biggest shortcoming of the Song army and the Liao army was the most good at it. Yelu Zhao had absolute confidence to kill the Song army's cavalry.

Under his order, the Liao cavalry bent their bows and arrows, rushed towards the Song cavalry, trying to defeat the Song cavalry. However, what Yelu Zhao could not imagine was that the Liao army's bows and arrows were far from reaching the Song army, and the Song army's crossbows were powerful, and many Liao cavalry were caught in the arrows and fell off the horse.

"Damn it!" Yelu Zhao was very angry, but he was helpless.

The Liao army did not have crossbows, but there were not many, unlike the Song army, who had one hand in hand.

The Liao army had not many crossbows, and the counterattack was sparse, but the Song army had many crossbows. The crossbows were dense and even flies could not survive.

When the Song cavalry rushed to the Liao army's bow and arrow range, Yelu Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Liao army's bow and arrow could show its might. However, he soon discovered that his ideas were too unrealistic. The Song cavalry was wearing fine armor and was not afraid of bows and arrows at all. He could basically do anything except hard bows.

"Spiritual armor!" Yelu Zhao's face changed.

The Liao army is not without the elite armor. Except for the Pishi Army, everyone has elite armor, there are not many general Liao army. Even the elite armor of Zhuozhou Army is not many. The Song army's bows and arrows are shot on the Liao army's cavalry, but the Liao army will not die. The Liao army's bows and arrows are shot on the Song army's cavalry, but it is just a row of sparks. How can we fight this battle?

If the bow and arrow are no longer enough, it should be better to cut and kill. Yelu Zhao is very confident about chopping and killing. The Liao army's swordsmanship was sharp and ruthless. It took the Song army hundreds of years to cut down. I don't know how many Song army killed by the Liao army. Will it lose to the Song army?

If you lose, it would be a big joke!

The development of the war still exceeded Yelu Zhao's imagination. The Song army's cavalry did not use the enemy-killing sword, but carried a spear to charge.

"Can this work?" Yelu Zhao was not optimistic about the use of the spear.

The cavalry of the two armies performed a duel against scimitars, and the result was conceivable. One inch long and one inch strong, and the scimitar was far from reaching the cavalry of the Song army, but the spear stabbed the Liao army cavalry in pieces, with many casualties and injuries, and chaos occurred.

The first time the Liao army faced such a fighting style, I couldn't help but be surprised and stunned. Before the Liao cavalry could react, the Song cavalry swung the enemy sword and started to kill.

At this time, Yelu Zhao realized that he had made a huge mistake. The cavalry, archery, and chopping of the Song army were not inferior to those of the Liao army. Moreover, the Song army's cavalry were all exquisite armor, and the Liao army's scimitar was slashed on the body, so it was difficult to kill the Song army unless heavy weapons such as maces were heavy weapons.
