The reinforcements of the Liao Army Brigade arrived and tried to encircle the Song Army from the outside.
To be precise, they wanted to have an inside and outside pincer.
Because, at the same time the Liao State reinforcements appeared, the city gate of Xiongzhou... opened.
From the city of Xiongzhou, a large number of cavalry burst out suddenly.
Wu Da's face was pale, Tong Guan was also full of dignity, Da Song soldiers inevitably appeared in riots.
This is the weirdness of Liao Kingdom!
It was already obvious that Xiongzhou City was just a decoy to lure the Great Song army to attack. In fact, the Liao Kingdom was already prepared to support it.
Moreover, looking at this posture, in addition to 30,000 soldiers guarding the city, Xiongzhou City actually hides more than 20,000 cavalry!
When the city of Xiongzhou was about to break, Liao finally revealed its trump card.
Inside and outside pincers!
Counting the Liao soldiers who came to aid, the Liao Army had more than 30,000 cavalry, and with the addition of the sergeants defending the city, their number was almost 70,000.
Among the 70,000, the 30,000 defending the city has suffered heavy losses, but the 150,000 army of the Song Dynasty also suffered heavy casualties during the attack. Don’t forget, this is the cold north, and the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty are not used to it. Fighting in this kind of weather, Liao has long been accustomed to it.
The most important thing is that the 30,000 cavalrymen of the Liao Kingdom are too powerful.
As we all know, the Song Dynasty lacked horses. Even after the emergence of Wuhan University, the court used refined salt in exchange for many horses from all parts of the northwest. But after all, the time was short and there were very few large-scale cavalry formations. The cavalry couldn't fight against the Liao state cavalry at all.
The cavalry of the Liao Kingdom is extremely fierce, which is well known, but the Song Dynasty... hehe.
In this way, the key point of this battle depends on whether Song Dynasty can stop the cavalry of Liao.
In other words, most of the burden fell on Wu Da, who was on the battlefield for the first time.
Wu Da's face was bitter, his heart was even more bitter, and the palms of his hands were full of fine sweat.
Although the Liao army had long been expected to have a back hand, in any case, the Wu University did not expect that the Liao army's handwriting was so big.
Moreover, the pressure actually fell on himself.
…
The cavalry is approaching, and a head-to-head battle is about to begin.
The outcome of this battle is directly related to the life and death of Wuhan University, and more to the overall situation of the success or failure of the Song and Liao controversy.
All the soldiers of Song and Liao Dynasty had a heart of death, and everyone fought for the first place courageously.
People on the battlefield shouted horses, arrows were like locusts, and the violent clash of weapons and shouts of killing combined to create a mighty battle song, which resounded across the sky and never dissipated for a long time.
Wu Da's face was very calm, even too calm, calm and a little terrifying.
The cavalry has quickly pulled in, but Wuhan University has not ordered an attack.
Until this time, Wu University coldly ordered:
"put!"
Nearly a hundred Wufu's confidants have already mixed into various important positions. With Wu Da's order, the first to do it was the ballista!
All the ballistas used in the previous siege have been tuned by Wu Da.
These ballistas have a long range of attack and are very powerful, but why does Wuhan University have to wait for the cavalry to approach before launching
The reason is that Wuhan University believes in the impact of these ballistas.
The huge arrow nearly two meters long, under the powerful thrust, shot out, incarnate as a roaring dragon, roaring and roaring, directly penetrating a cavalry at the forefront of the Liao Army.
However, the second and third places... are strung together, like a skewers of lamb. It has been strung by six cavalrymen before they are exhausted.
A large number of huge arrows were fired at the same time, and the Liao army cavalry immediately suffered heavy losses, with stumps on the ground, and even many war horses were directly crucified.
If there are really eighteen layers of hell in the world, this is the nineteenth layer of blood!
Wu Da's belly was rolling fiercely, and his face was pale, he wanted to vomit.
This scene is too scary.
However, he is the commander, and he must remain as calm as he should be.
So he waved his hand again.
This time it is still the ballista, but this time the arrows they are equipped with have been changed, replaced by a slightly smaller size, but they all carry an improved version of the Thunderbolt.
"Boom boom boom!"
In this era of cold weapons, the role played by the sky-shaking thunder is unparalleled.
Let alone the lethality, this kind of sky-shaking roar caused the horses under the seat of the Liao Army to be frightened and chaotic.
However, the number of the improved version of the Thunderbolt is limited, and the huge crossbow bolts on the ballista have almost been exhausted after the siege.
Wu Da glanced at Zhang Liang, and both Zhang Liang and Wu Gang waved down the flags in their hands.
The old-fashioned, sky-shaking thunders that needed to be ignited by fire were ignited one after another, and then they were put on the dumping cart and cast.
After the bursts of roaring, the Liao army cavalry servants had already lost a third when they appeared on the stage.
However, instead of suppressing the momentum of the Liao army, they became more and more aura like a rainbow, and they rushed over.
Dachang Wu took a breath and waved again to give orders.
The cavalry was far away enough, and the infantry in the horse-rejecting piles threw all the thunders they had on hand, not one left.
Yes, no one is left, go all out.
This is what Wuhan University requires.
If the Thunderbolt is gone, you can make it again, but he wants to make the soldiers die less as much as possible, and eliminate the cavalry as much as possible before the short soldiers meet.
However, at this moment, the foggy sky suddenly became completely dark.
After that, the weather changed suddenly, and the harsh north wind was approaching, and the hailstones as big as chicken eggs hit the soldiers' armors.
It was followed by rain and snow.
Wu Da's face suddenly became gloomy.
This kind of bad weather had a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty sergeants, and it also severely affected the power that the Tiantian Lei should have.
In a short while, the morale of the Liao army was greatly boosted, and they charged frantically.
Near, near, finally here!
However, the Liao army cavalry suffered a big loss again.
In addition to the large array of horse-rejecting piles, there were a large number of spikes. The horses ate pain and panic, causing the cavalry to turmoil. Even many cavalry in the front stopped suddenly, and the cavalry rushed up from the rear directly knocked them into flight. mud.
With a cold expression on his face, Wuhan University raised his right hand aloft, "Ready!"
"put!"
The Liao army cavalry formally ran into the horse-rejection stake, and the infantry after the horse-rejection stake stubbornly withstood it, while the other infantry, in accordance with the previous instructions of the Wuhan University, began to operate the horse-rejection lance in an orderly manner.
"Puff puff… "
The ground was filled with the wailing of war horses and the screams of the Liao army before they died.
The sudden appearance of the carbine, telescopic, even if the front of the large formation has been pierced by the Liao army, the piles of bucking piles and carbine, causing heavy losses to the Liao army cavalry who came with the general trend.
In addition, the infantry of the Song Dynasty, who swears to fight to the death, made up the knife in the middle, and the invincible cavalry of the Liao army, suffered from the enemy, gradually lost support.
Of course, if they continue like this, they will break through the big formation sooner or later and come to Song Jun.
But at this moment, Wuhan University suddenly ordered.
Withdraw!
Let the enemy in!
