A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Su Shi was called back, but before Chen Gongbi could spray him, he was frightened by the power of the enemy cavalry.

If you look at the feeling of thousands of horses galloping from the perspective of a bystander, you will find it very spectacular and shocking.

But when you look at it from the opponent's perspective, you shudder.

Chen Gongbi trembled. This had nothing to do with being brave, it was just a subconscious reaction.

Jiang Pei was not having a good time either. He pretended to be calm, but his teeth were slightly chattering.

He glanced at Bao Zheng on the left.

Bao Zheng's face was stern and his eyes were sharp, showing no fear at all when he saw the battle formation for the first time.

Much better than Han Qi!

This idea just turned around, and someone shouted: "Three hundred steps..."

The enemy cavalry has already started to speed up, and they can reach them in three hundred steps in an instant.

Jiang Pei said subconsciously: "Hurry up and do it!"

"Crossbow arrows..."

The command flag was waved, and the crossbow formation behind began.

The crossbows were pointed forward, and countless crossbowmen with cold expressions faced the north, waiting for the order to fire.

"Crossbow arrows... let go!"

"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"

The sounds of countless firing crossbows converged together, like someone beating the bedding with a wooden hammer.

More than 10,000 crossbow arrows were launched into the sky, forming a huge black cloud.

Su Shi looked up and couldn't help shouting: "Oh my God!"

Everyone looked up and were shocked.

"Is this a crossbow formation?"

"Terrible! Terrible!"

"..."

The black cloud floated over and then plunged into the middle of the enemy cavalry.

In an instant, huge vacancies appeared among the cavalry who rushed into the formation. The countless vacancies caused the formation to be scattered. From time to time, horses were tripped, and some people survived after falling from their horses, avoiding the impact of subsequent comrades.

"Song people's crossbow array!"

Li Liangzuo's face suddenly turned pale and he asked: "How come there are so many?"

A general said calmly: "Your Majesty, there are at least ten thousand people!"

Li Liangzuo closed his eyes. When he opened them again, there was no warmth. "Withdraw!"

"no!"

A powerful man shouted crazily: "A certain person is in front and cannot retreat. Only by rushing forward can you have a chance. Otherwise, your death will be in vain!"

Li Liangzuo looked at the others and saw that almost no one was willing to retreat, so he said, "Then let's give it a try."

A bunch of idiots, I just tried it out, and you fell for it.

Go ahead and die!

The vacancy ahead was quickly filled, but when a second black cloud appeared in the sky, everyone despaired.

"What kind of crossbow is this from the Song Dynasty? Why is it so fast?"

"Retreat! Retreat!"

"Your Majesty, retreat quickly! It will be too late if you don't retreat!"

A group of dignitaries initially thought that the crossbows only had time to fire once, but the second volley was so fast that they wanted to vomit blood.

Li Liangzuo said: "We have already charged forward, how do we retreat?"

If they turned temporarily, the Song people would pursue them without hesitation.

"Charge forward!"

Amidst these exclamations, the Xixia cavalry in front ran into the first row of spear formations.

Bang bang bang bang!

The spears broke and flew around. The spearmen turned around and ran away without dying, and behind them were the axemen.

These swordsmen and axemen are tall and powerful. Wearing thick armor, they advanced instead of retreating.

At this moment, the speed of the enemy cavalry has been slowed down by the spears, and the swordsmen and axemen can do their best.

"ha……"

Swords and axes were raised, and then they shouted in unison to exert force.

"kill!"

The first row was instantly shrouded in the light of swords and shadows.

A war horse had half of its head chopped off by an axe, its eyes were drooping, and it ran away crazily sideways. As a result, it fell to the ground as soon as it turned around, and the enemy on the horse was immediately trampled to death.

A Xixia man was cut into two pieces by a broadsword. His upper body fell off his horse and howled miserably on the ground, but his lower body was still on the horse and was hit by the horse.

Because they move slowly while wearing heavy armor, the swordsmen can only swing their weapons mechanically.

When arrows come flying, they only need to lower their heads slightly, and their helmets will block these threats.

An axehand was knocked to the ground. He struggled to get up, but the armor on his body was too heavy. He reluctantly sat up, and a spear was accurately drilled into his eye socket.

The sword and axehand howled miserably as the blood spurted out. He grabbed the horse's front legs with both hands and pulled hard.

The war horse knelt down, and the enemy soldier on the horse fell, and was suppressed by the swordsman.

The two struggled over and over again, but in the end they both stopped moving.

The swordsmen in the front row were constantly being consumed, and small groups of enemy cavalry continued to break in, and then were driven out by the swordsmen.

Blood was shooting out, and the screams covered the eardrums.

This is the battlefield!

Bao Zheng was trembling, "For the Song Dynasty..."

"Crossbow arrows... let go!"

The crossbow array showed its power again, and the overwhelming black clouds rushed towards the enemy's back.

"The enemy has broken through!"

A group of enemy troops broke in from the left, and the swordsmen who were slow to react were knocked down by their horses.

Bao Zheng saw this scene. Someone behind him was panting nervously, as if he would collapse in the next moment.

This is the pressure between life and death.

Bao Zheng was watching this scene. If the enemy broke through the sword and axemen, the subsequent sword and shield soldiers would no longer be able to threaten them.

"Prime Minister Bao, let the cavalry come up!"

Some people trembled and suggested, and some people turned around and looked at Yuanzhou City, wishing they could fly in.

Bao Zheng held the hilt of the sword and just stared.

"Fire the arrow!"

The archer released his arrow, covering that area indiscriminately.

Most of the enemy cavalry were shot over, but the Song army only lost more than ten people because they were wearing heavy armor.

Su Shi's lips trembled. He had never seen such an attack that was indiscriminate between friend and foe. He wanted to yell and scold, but for some reason he couldn't open his mouth...

Bao Zheng's cheeks trembled and he looked at Shen An.

Shen An just paid attention to this side, and when he saw that the incoming enemy troops were wiped out, he turned back to watch the battle.

Li Liangzuo was also watching the battle.

"Come in, rush in, hahahaha! Someone said that the people of Song Dynasty are vulnerable!"

"Assault, Your Majesty, the whole army will attack."

"What are you waiting for? Just kill him!"

Seeing breakthroughs in several places, the dignitaries were overjoyed.

The previous reluctance has now turned into greed.

After strangling these Song troops, the slaves and supplies obtained will allow them to return home with a full load.

This is the biggest goal of a bandit group.

Li Liangzuo was moved.

The crossbow array is still showing off its power and continues to cause damage in the aftermath.

what to do?

He lowered his head and pondered, then raised his head and said: "Attack the entire army!"

He originally wanted to consume these people's troops again, but the opportunity was rare!

Amidst the sound of horns, Li Liangzuo pulled out the front finger of his long sword, his face flushed with excitement.

"The opportunity has come, attack!"

"Attack!"

Shen An saw this scene.

"Lang Jun, all the enemy troops have attacked."

This is the decisive battle!

"hold on!"

The crossbows were fired continuously, and the enemy suffered heavy losses, so they pinned their hopes on breaking through the Song army's defense line.

This was a one-shot deal. If he couldn't break through immediately, the subsequent crossbow formation volleys would make Li Liangzuo's liver ache.

Shen An sneered: "The opportunity has come."

"Instruct the crossbow formation to speed up its launch!"

The crossbow array at the back has been firing slowly, just to confuse the enemy, otherwise this wave of attacks would have been repelled long ago.

The black rain of arrows suddenly became denser, and Li Liangzuo, who was halfway there, shouted: "There is a fraud! The Song army is cheating!"

But the momentum has begun, and it is impossible to retreat.

The frequency of the crossbows being fired was astonishing. Along the way, Li Liangzuo watched with heartache as his subordinates fell off their horses one after another, and he hated the person who suggested the decisive battle.

However, as long as the Song army can be defeated, these losses can be tolerated.

Just when he was in pain, a big flag was suddenly raised in the Song Army formation.

A giant man held the big flag and waved it vigorously. The wind blew the big flag and made a loud sound, but to Bao Zheng's ears it was like the sound of nature.

"Prime Minister Bao, please ask for orders... a decisive battle!"

Bao Zheng's solemn face became more excited. He pulled out his long sword and shouted: "Kill the enemy, for the sake of the Song Dynasty, you gentlemen...kill the enemy!"

A general beside him shouted: "My husband has an order, kill the enemy for the sake of the Song Dynasty!"

The horns roared, and the muscles of the arms of the giant man controlling the flag suddenly tightened, his body leaned back, and he slowly tilted the flag.

The big flag was pointed forward. Someone at the top of the city saw it and shouted.

"Open the city gate!"

The city gate opened, and Zhe Jizu rushed out first.

He pulled out his long knife and laughed: "Zhongjiazi, eat my fart! Hahahaha!"

"Fuzhou Army! Kill the enemy!"

The cavalry roared out of the city gate.

Followed by Zhong E, he followed with his cavalry and shouted with all his strength: "Today a certain general rushed into the formation. If a certain general takes a step back, he is not a member of the Zhong family! The Western Army...kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"

The slogan of the Western Army has been shouted for many years, but it has always been defeated. Today is a rare opportunity, and everyone bursts out with great enthusiasm.

He raised his sword and charged forward from the flank first.

The soldiers of the Western Army who had grown up hearing the news of the defeat had tears in their eyes, shouted slogans for the Western Army to kill the enemy, and followed closely behind.

The Western Army was beaten into dogs by the Xixia people back then. How long will it take if we don't take revenge today?

Shen An had already seen this scene, he smiled and said: "It's our turn, the cavalry attacks!"

The Xixia people in front were dumbfounded. They didn't expect that the Song army actually had ambushes in the city.

They had calculated the number of cavalry brought by Shaanxi Road and Bao Zheng in advance, and thought that they were all here, so they dared to fight decisively.

But now he was dumbfounded.

"It's Zhe Jizu and Zhong'e! Your Majesty, the Song people are cunning and ambushed them secretly!"

Li Liangzuo saw it. The heat in his lower back turned into coldness, and the blush on his face dissipated instantly.

"What a cunning Shen An, retreat!"

"Your Majesty, will the entire army evacuate?"

Li Liangzuo said coldly: "Let's withdraw!"

One of his purposes when he came out to harass the Song Dynasty was to consume the opponents' men, so refusing to save them became his best choice at this moment.

The evacuation horn sounded, and the Xixia people on the way began to evacuate without hesitation, but those who were strangled with the Song army in front could no longer retreat.

"Attack!"

Shen An led the cavalry and rushed up the passage. UU Reading www.uｕｕｓhu.netｔ Those Xixia people were preparing to get rid of the entanglement and evacuate, but they were stunned by this.

"Kill the enemy! Ahem!"

Shen An chopped down the enemy troops on the opposite side and was frightened after hearing this old cry.

Just behind him, Bao Zheng, who was in his sixties, was shouting while holding a long sword.

No one dared to let him face the enemy directly, so Shen An sent the most elite sergeants to protect him.

"For the Song Dynasty, kill the enemy! Kill the enemy! Ahem..."

Bao Zheng was screaming with all his strength. He was coughing and his face was red, but he refused to take a step back.

Shen An's eyes turned red.

This is the Song Dynasty!
