Fu Song

Chapter 361 The speed of life and death

When the rangers of the Western Army in light armor approached their opponents for more than a hundred steps, accompanied by the sound of a sharp whistle, these rangers drew out their swords from behind in unison.The knife was attached to the elbow, the body leaned forward slightly, the head was raised, and the legs kept slapping the horse under the crotch, accelerating, accelerating.

Originally a large group of teams that seemed to be crowded together gradually formed several parallel lines during the charging process, just like the waves of the sea, one tide followed another.

When the formations of the two sides changed, Turtledove just felt a slight sinking in his hands, and he clenched his hands immediately, his arms and elbows strengthened, blood sprayed in front of his eyes, and the sharp blade scratched the opponent's leather armor, cutting the opponent's body with ease.

The Liao people had about a thousand cavalry, but these troops were neither the elite leather army nor the palace division army, but the head-to-head army, that is, the private army from the head-to-head army state who followed Yeluxi, and met the turtledove When such an elite western army led by them, they were immediately dwarfed by comparison. Even though they had an advantage in numbers, the formation was still broken up by the opponent's impact.

The first wave of rangers has been deeply embedded in the enemy, changing from a straight line at the beginning to a herringbone. The turtledoves and wild boars rushing forward roared and charged forward with their knives up and down. A puff of blood was flying in front of them.

The second wave of more than a hundred cavalry rushed over, and the sparse cavalrymen who had just been groomed by the turtledove and wild boar ran into them head-on. When the two sides staggered, there were very few cavalrymen who could rush out.

After the turtledove broke through the Liao army, it immediately accelerated its horse again, and rushed towards the mule and horse convoy in the distance, completely ignoring the Liao cavalry behind it. those grains.

The mule and horse convoy in the distance was in a panic, and the leading officer was loudly giving orders to gather the chariots and battles together to form a circle. Inside, there were already infantrymen with bows and arrows, aiming at the galloping wanderers. riding team.

Inserting the two knives into the scabbard on the back, the turtledove took a lump from the horse's backpack, then took out a flint from its waist, held the flint and touched the lump, sparks flew everywhere Underneath, the black thing with the rope immediately burst into flames.

The turtledove waved its arms, turning the ball of fire in its hands in a circle, and the swing of its arms became larger and larger. With a whoosh, the fireball flew out and landed accurately on a carriage in the distance. Burned the sacks on the carriage.

At the same time that the turtledove swung the fireball, several feathered arrows landed on him. The turtledove's strong body swayed, and it passed dozens of steps before the car formation as if nothing had happened.

When the turtledove flew out of the fireball, the hundreds of cavalry who rushed out with him almost all threw the fireball in the same way, and almost [-]% of the hundreds of fireballs landed in the chariot formation, and the entire chariot formation was instantly lit up. raging.

The cavalry flew around the car formation, and the opened god arm bow poured the crossbow arrows into the car formation. Looking at the billowing smoke and hearing the wailing, the turtledove confirmed that the hundreds of carts of grain were basically destroyed. Lost.

Looking at the cavalry troops chasing back in a panic, and at the grain guards rushing out of the chariots desperately, the turtledove laughed and took the reins and ran off into the distance.

He won't be entangled with these people anymore!

Being entangled by these people, the time has been delayed for a long time, and it has attracted the Liao Kingdom's Pishi Army wandering around, so it will be a lot of fun.

The western army is retreating in great strides.

But behind them, they left one Ranger after another.

These rangers have both elite and regular scout troops, like the Turtledove's department.There are also various rangers left by various tribes.

They harass, delay, and have flexible combat methods. They fight as they make the enemy uncomfortable.

Tuoba Yangwei didn't even set any tactical goals for them.

Everything, at the discretion of the officers of these armies.

Yeluxi did not expect this kind of fighting method, and it also made him extremely uncomfortable.From Xiao Ding's current strength, he is fully capable of confronting him head-on.The opponent retreated without a fight, so he could only follow along, but as the battle line gradually lengthened, his logistics supply line also became longer and longer.

And the rangers left by the Western Army are like flies buzzing behind him and even around him. If you ignore him, he will come up and bite you at any time. He died, and he fled without a trace.

Yeluxi could only send more people to maintain his grain path, while slowing down his progress.

Xi Jun's unexpected behavior made him have to be more careful, maybe somewhere, that bearded Xiao Ding was sharpening his knife, ready to hit him head-on.

For the famous Xiao bearded man, Yeluxi didn't have the slightest intention to underestimate the enemy.What he wanted was to step on Xiao Ding and take a firm step towards his Daliao Emperor's throne, not just running around and being trampled under Xiao Ding's feet.

The turtledove stood in the stream, scooped up a ladle of water with its helmet, splashed it on the horse, and then vigorously scrubbed the blood on the horse with a brush, but the horse lowered its head to drink the water, raised its head, and rushed The turtledove sprayed water, spraying the turtledove all over its head and face.

After the three hundred riders passed through the last battle, nearly fifty people were lost.At the moment there are more than [-] horsemen and horses, half of them are washing in the stream, and the other part are scattered around to guard.

The wild boar came over, stretched out a handful of water and splashed it on his face, then shook his head vigorously, and the water droplets flew all over the sky.

Seeing the blood oozing from his leg, Turtledove couldn't help but frowned: "Be smart when fighting, don't just be reckless, this time our task is to try to keep ourselves safe while harassing the enemy, you know?"

The wild boar snorted, and said coldly: "The knife on the leg changed the head to the military prison, haha, when I go back this time, at least I can sit on an equal footing with you."

"Damn you!" Turtle Dove cursed, walked over and sat next to the wild boar: "I and Da Ya are already married, what do you want? Before Da Ya became my wife, how could you chase after Lao Tzu?" No way, now you still make up your mind, aren't you a brother?"

"I want to be a bigger official than you, let Daya see that she chose the wrong person at the beginning!" Wild Boar groaned authentically.

"Bah!" Turtle Dove spat, "Just dream! When I got married, you bastard didn't even drink alcohol, and you even went to apply for a job to find out about the military situation. You really are not a brother. I even rescued you What about your fate, you didn't even follow your family relationship, wild boar, I will remember you forever."

"The share money is ready, and I will give it when the big girl gives birth to the baby!" The wild boar chuckled: "I have prepared a hundred guan coins, and I will stuff them under the bed in the barracks."

Turtle Dove was stunned, and suddenly became furious: "You bastard, you have bad intentions, you didn't follow the rules when I got married, what do you mean by giving so much money when I got a son?"

The wild boar just laughed, but the turtledove was outraged and pounced on it, and the two of them fell down in a tangled ball by the stream.

The rangers around the stream laughed loudly when they saw the chief and deputy chiefs arguing, and the guy who heard the conversation between the two laughed loudly: "Captain, your doll, is it yours or is it yours?" The Deputy Superintendent?"

The wild boar was not as flexible as the turtledove, and was eventually pushed down by the turtledove. The wild boar stopped struggling and just spread its feet, folded its hands under its head and looked at the sun in the sky.

"Today's weather is really nice!"

The turtledove rolled off him, and lay beside him on the ground, looking up at the sun in the sky.

"Erya will be able to marry in two years, how about I be your matchmaker?"

"Fuck off, I'll take that yellow-haired girl as my younger sister!" Wild Boar said angrily. "Don't be so fake there, just look at it, I have made up my mind, I will either go to the Song State to snatch a lady back from a great family, or go to the Liao State to snatch a young lady back, it must be better than Da Ya!"

"You can't compare to Da Ya if you snatch a princess back!" Turtle Dove said disdainfully.

The two narrowed their eyes, stopped talking, and enjoyed the touch of the sun to their heart's content.

After an unknown amount of time passed, a sharp whistle sounded in my ears, and almost at the same time, the two jumped up from the ground at the same time.

The sound of hooves.

A cavalry brigade of at least three hundred or more.

In the distance, sentry cavalry galloped towards them, and immediately after, the two saw the Liao army chasing after them.

Leather Army!
The blood on the faces of the two of them faded instantly.

Apparently, the leather army had detected their position, and then approached them quietly, until they were close enough, and then galloped towards them.

"Retreat, retreat!" More than two hundred riders got on their horses and immediately ran away into the distance.

Even when they were in their heyday, it was impossible for them to compete with a leather army that was twice as large as themselves. They still had self-knowledge.

In the case of a similar number of people, the only one who can confront the Pishi army head-on is the iron kite next to the general manager.

After chasing and escaping, he covered tens of miles in an instant, not only did he not escape his opponent, but he was chased closer and closer.

Seeing that the opponent's cavalry was divided into two and circled to both sides, it was obvious that they wanted to make dumplings for their own side.The wild boar took a deep breath, reined in the horse, turned around and faced the enemy.

"I'll stop it!" He yelled: "Turtle Dove, I really prepared a hundred pennies under the bed. After you go back, you can give it to Da Ya. I will be a godfather."

As soon as the wild boar turned his head, more than a hundred cavalrymen behind him immediately followed closely, facing the chasing Pishi army.

Turtledove's tears fell down. He glanced back at the wild boar who was facing the opponent without hesitation, then turned around and shouted: "Speed ​​up, speed up, get away."

The clash of weapons behind him and the roars of both sides gradually faded away.

The night gradually fell, and then slowly pulled up, the moon rose and set, and on the eastern horizon, half of the face of the morning sun had been exposed.On the grass, more than a hundred cavalry gathered together, everyone's faces were extremely heavy.They got rid of the pursuit of the Pishi army, but they covered their other half brothers, and no one has returned to the previously agreed gathering point.

The turtledove stood up and said, "Let's go, let's prepare for the next battle. We can't beat the Pishi army, can't we beat the underdog army, can't we beat the grain guard army?"

"Let's go, go find the spirit of their grain guards."

"Go burn their food."

"Starve to death those shitty furry soldiers!"

Amidst the shouts, the originally gloomy atmosphere became more active, and everyone got on their horses one after another, ready to find the next enemy.

"Captain, look!" Suddenly, a cavalryman shouted, raised his arm, and pointed to the east.

Everyone turned around and looked at the place where the sun was rising.

The sun is slowly rising.

In the ten thousand-zhang glow, Sanqi was running towards them.

That familiar figure, who else could they be if they weren't wild boars?
The turtledove let out a loud cry, and rode his horse to meet him.

The wild boar was covered in blood, even his face was covered with blood. Seeing the turtledove, he chuckled a few times: "I still want to give you a hundred strings. I want to raise the price. I want to be a godfather."

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell to the ground with a bang.

Turtledove jumped off the horse quickly, wanting to see where he was injured, but found that this guy was just asleep.

"You idiot!" Turtledove cried while hugging the opponent's bloody head.

It is said that men don't flick their tears easily, but it's just that it's not the time to be sad.

Above the desert, such raids and pursuits are happening all the time. Sometimes it is the western army that takes advantage of it, and sometimes it is the Liao people's team that wins. infiltration.

For the generals of both sides who command tens of thousands of troops, these things are not worth mentioning.The casualties of hundreds of scouts are normal attrition in their eyes.

The battle at Shentangbao had reached a fever pitch. On the fifth day after Zheng Xiong officially launched his attack on Shentangbao, another reinforcement from Gyeonggi Road arrived.

The arrival of the support army greatly increased the pressure on Shentangbao, because they brought a large number of siege equipment made by the capital's craftsman battalion.

With a bang, a large stone weighing a hundred catties flew from a distance and hit a horse wall heavily. With a loud noise, the horse wall immediately turned into a pile of muck , a group of soldiers exclaimed and dug the ruins again and again, digging out their buried companions.

Li Yi looked at the huge guy in the distance, and shook his head helplessly, it was too far away to reach.

"We have to break him!" one of the generals whispered.

"I also know that I'm going to break him." Li Yi snorted and said, "Otherwise, no matter how strong our Shentangbao is, it won't be smashed by him again and again, but it won't work now. Look at the Song Jun in front of that thing." , densely packed like ants."

"General, don't we have the Thunderbolt? Let the last general lead a team to attack, put the ballista in the team, just get close to within a hundred steps, use the ballista to release the thunderbolt, boom With a bang, the thing was blown to pieces."

"I've only equipped three thunderbolts in total. Isn't it good luck to use a ballista to fire them? It's okay to fire them correctly. If you don't, it's a loss to waste the thunderbolts!"

"General, Universiade has to hit it, or if this guy smashes down again, our Shentangbao will collapse!" The general said: "I don't believe such a big guy, they brought a lot of them here. I bet on him , just this one."

"Then give it a try!" Li Yi finally made up his mind.
