Although the battle just now was fierce, it did not last long. Just because Zhong Jing led the men back halfway, and because they were all very fast cavalry, they did not give time to Di Heming and other soldiers who wanted to support and respond from the rear. They could only watch them from a distance. He was quickly suppressed and defeated, and even Zhong Jing was put in danger several times and almost lost his life.
This made the six thousand soldiers of the Western Army who rushed up from behind very anxious. They didn't even need the three generals to urge them. They rushed over at the fastest speed. Although they were mainly infantry, they actually had some momentum of cavalry. .
By the time Zhongjing was suppressed by Gemotan, they had also appeared behind their own cavalry. Without using any expressions, the tacit understanding of fighting side by side for many years made the Western cavalry, who was originally in despair, decisively make the most sensible and reasonable action. They all rode their horses to disperse, and at the same time they clung to the horse's back and crouched down to the lowest point.
Sure enough, when the bow strings from behind rang out, thousands of powerful arrows were poured out towards the Liao army at the same time. In order to bring the people back as soon as possible, almost everyone in the Western army who came this time was equipped with a crossbow. Once they entered the shooting range, they did not hesitate to fire arrows to defeat the enemy.
These arrows naturally have limited damage to the Xuanjia cavalry, but they are a great threat to other Liao troops. Arrows flew like raindrops, and they were so frightened that they turned around and fled, and they did not care to continue to launch a fierce attack on the Song army. At the same time, their random rush also caused trouble to those cavalry who were not affected by the arrows, making them unable to rush out on the spot, but instead had to hide in their own robes.
At this time, it showed that the Liao Kingdom was indeed not as good as before. If it were in their prime, even if they encountered such a rain of arrows, these battle-experienced soldiers would not have the slightest fear to retreat, and this would even inspire their strong fighting spirit to rush back against the rain of arrows. . But now, this life-saving action gave the Western Army soldiers an opportunity to retreat, merge with the approaching infantry, and then form a defensive formation.
At the same time, more than ten more riders, led by Di Heming and Jiang Wukui, quickly found the location of the seeding scriptures, and Pegasus rushed to the rescue. At this time, Zhong Jing was really at a critical moment of life and death. Seeing that he could not seize the horse, he was almost injured by the Liao general again.
Seeing that the huge hammer was roaring and about to fall again, the fallen Zhong Jing could not escape in time. Although the distance was still far away, Di Heming could not care about it. He immediately bent his bow and set an arrow, and two arrows shot out like thunderbolts. , directly into the eyes of the Liao general. He also saw clearly that the opponent was covered in armor and was almost no threat if shot elsewhere. He could only aim at the face exposed outside the helmet, and the eyes were the biggest weakness.
Di Heming was worthy of being the most skilled general in the Western Army. Even though he was more than 200 steps away and there were many Liao troops interfering in the middle, his two arrows still reached Germotan before the opponent's hammer fell. If the other party is really determined to kill the seed, then he will definitely lose his life. This was obviously something that the fierce Liao general who felt he had the upper hand was not willing to accept, so he immediately changed his tactics. The sledgehammer in his hand changed from a downward blast to a horizontal sweep, and narrowly hit the two arrows, knocking them out. Broken and scattered.
In fact, this was all thanks to the fact that Germotan had learned the lesson that he was bound to get hit by Zhong Jing just now and did not use all his strength. Otherwise, he would not have been able to protect himself.
And when the arrow flew out,
For a moment, the two generals of the Western Army urged their horses to rush forward regardless of the situation. At the same time, they secretly inserted their daggers into the horse's buttocks, stimulating the horses under their crotches to rush forward at a faster speed. In the blink of an eye, he ran a distance of two hundred steps and reached the enemy before he could swing his hammer.
Because of the need to draw back his bow, Di Heming was obviously half a beat slower than Jiang Wukui, so the latter raised his sword first and struck at the Liao general in front of him, while the latter did not waste any time, and as soon as he bent down, he already slashed at the Liao general in front of him. The fallen Zhongjing was pulled up, and then he shook the reins and quickly turned the horse back.
Although he was worried about what would happen if Jiang Wukui faced off against Liao who was like an iron tower, he also knew that their ultimate purpose here was to save people, so he didn't say anything nonsense and could only choose to believe in his comrades.
All these changes happened so fast that Gemotan and the Liao soldiers around him were unable to react in time. When they regained their composure, the Song general who was supposed to have been killed by the sword was actually taken back. They ran some distance away... This made them particularly angry. They all roared and quickly pursued him.
Gemotan's eyes were spitting fire, and while he was roaring in anger, the sledgehammer was already coming out in a series, and he quickly fought with Jiang Wukui who was pestering him for seven or eight moves. It was only then that Jiang Wukui realized how terrifying the Liao general in front of him was. After these few moves, he felt his arms were sore and numb, and he could hardly hold the knife in his hand. However, the opponent did not show any signs of fatigue after several battles. His attitude is obviously much stronger than his own.
While secretly complaining in his heart, he also decisively decided to retreat. After swiping his sword again to block the opponent's blow, he rode his horse and jumped to the side. While distancing himself from the opponent, he suddenly looked back. , while waving his right hand, a cold light flew out and shot directly at the Liao general who was about to catch up. He is not as good as Di Heming in archery, but he also has his own unique skill. Within twenty steps, the flying knife can hit the target with perfect accuracy, and it hits the opponent's face.
This move was beyond Germotan's expectations, and he could only dodge while being distracted. It also slowed down the speed of the horse under his crotch, and allowed the opponent to open a large distance again. Seeing this situation, he became even more annoyed. He roared and urged his horse to chase again. But this time, the speed of the Liao horse under his crotch had obviously slowed down, but after many fierce races, it finally reached its limit.
Feeling that the enemy behind him was being kept at a distance, Jiang Wukui felt relieved. He finally had a surprise today... Before the word "danger" came out of his mind, several cavalrymen in front of him rushed towards him, with the swords in their hands carrying whistling chops. Come on, let him slow down and parry. But at this moment, the horse neighed again, suddenly its hind hooves softened, and it fell down with a thud.
Just now, in order to save people in time, he and Di Heming stabbed the war horses and rushed in. At this time, the war horses were bleeding too much and finally couldn't support themselves. Not only did they fall down, they also killed Jiang Wukui, who was completely unprepared. He threw it out, stabbed his hands and feet, and crashed into the Liao cavalry in front.
These Liao cavalry have already become murderous. How could they miss this opportunity? Several weapons are coming towards them!
Suddenly, screams began, and blood burst out. A famous general in the Western Army died on the battlefield!
"Uncle Jiang..." Zhong Jing, who had already come to his senses and looked back, happened to see this painful scene, which made him let out an extremely sad cry. And in front of him, right
Di Heming, who was riding forward on horseback, suddenly tensed up, but then gritted his teeth and continued to rush forward, quickly approaching the Western Army's battle formation ahead. But his eyes were already red and seemed to be flashing with tears.
When he saw all this happening in front of his eyes, Zhang Bingyao, the general of the Western Army over there, looked blank. It's not that he doesn't feel heartache, but that he knows very well what he should do now, which is to hold on with everyone, and then welcome Zhong Jing and them back. Therefore, during this period, even his voice did not change. He still calmly commanded the more than 10,000 cavalry to fight against the Liao army that was constantly charging over, blocking the two waves of enemy offensives.
At this time, Di Heming had returned with the seed scriptures. When they came closer, soldiers and horses quickly stepped forward to block the pursuing Liao army. The horses that had carried them all the way were exhausted at this time. Exhausted, slumped and collapsed.
The moment Di Heming landed on the ground, he turned around suddenly, held the bow in his hand, shouted loudly, and shot out seven sharp arrows, knocking off the seven black armored cavalry who were pursuing him the most. Even though he was shot with anger, the accuracy of these seven arrows was not bad, and they all hit the opponent's face.
This rapid succession of shots suppressed the Liao army's arrogance and frightened the others to stop. Taking this opportunity, the Song army fired another burst of arrows. After forcing back the enemy in front, they retreated decisively.
At this time, the Western Army in the rear also began to move. Following a few orders from Zhong Shidao, the troops that had already formed a formation began to slowly press forward.
Ever since Di Heming and the others were dispatched just now, Zhongshi Dao and Zhongshizhong have been paying attention to the changes in the two armies. Now that the people had been rescued and their morale had actually reversed, they no longer just held on, but went to attack them, intending to fight the Liao army again.
At this time, the Liao army camp, which had been silent just now, once again sounded a strange drum beat, and a black flag was waved above.
Seeing this, the expressions on the Zhongshi's face became even tighter: "The Liao army is about to form a border formation!"
Sure enough, the moment he finished speaking, the Liao army, which had been charging fiercely before, quickly stopped and retreated, allowing the two groups of Western armies to converge. At the same time, several groups of troops themselves also gathered together, and the Xuanjia cavalry was no longer at the front of the army. , but was wrapped up in layers of troops and quickly disappeared.
The Xuanjia cavalry was not only an arrow weapon used by the Liao army to charge into battles and destroy cities, but it could also be a cold arrow. Since the previous tactic failed, let's try another one.
At this time, the two armies retreated and quickly gathered into formation, but the distance between them became much wider. Between the two armies, thousands of corpses of soldiers from both sides were dumped, with blood flowing everywhere. There were still those who were still alive struggling to get up. It was really shocking to see.
But everyone knows that the tranquility at this moment is just the calm before the storm, and the next battle will definitely be more tragic than before. The battle between Song and Liao is about to begin a new decisive battle.
At the rear of the Song army, many people in the Chinese army camp were stunned and didn't even know what to do...
