Chapter 47: It is really unreasonable that the Song Dynasty will not die
The Song cavalry lined up along the river on the south bank, bent his bow in his hands to point to the north bank, and shot out sharp arrows in his astonished eyes...
Among them is Yang Keshi.
General Yang looked here indifferently, as if they did not exist.
"Retreat quickly!"
Liu Qi pulled Wang Yue and shouted.
At the same time, the Liao army on the other side fired tens of thousands of arrows at the same time. Wang Yue grabbed Liu Qi without hesitation and jumped towards the river water under the bridge. In the air, he turned back to look at Yelu Dashi's smile. The next moment, the two of them fell into the river water with the sound of sharp arrows crossing the air above their heads.
It is close to the north shore and the water will not flood them.
But just as they showed up, dozens of bows opposite each other aimed at them at the same time.
"Let's go down!"
Wang Yue roared.
Then he pressed Liu Qi, who was still confused, into the water. Before the latter could react, he tore off his armor as quickly as possible. At this time, the arrows above his head were still falling. The unlucky Liu Qi had already started drinking water because he was not familiar with the water. Wang Yue lifted him upwards, and Liu Qi, who had exposed his head, finally breathed air, but after just breathing twice, Wang Yue pulled him back into the water, and then dragged him to the south bank.
He raised him up to the water surface and let him breathe again, but then he swam through the deep water area and finally took a deep breath as Liu Qi, who was exposed to his head with mud and sand under his feet...
"I won't get together with you in my life!"
He said with tears in his eyes.
I have to say that he is also unlucky. He could only watch the fun and get credit for his credit. Anyway, with Gao Qiu, the backer, he would definitely be promoted if he had to make the three-eyed gun.
Now he is brought by this bad friend and almost loses his life.
"I will never be mixed with you, Da Song, and other dogs in my life!"
Wang Yue cursed.
He was really angry.
It's almost time to fool me!
After all, Yelu Dashi does have great ambitions, but most of his Khitan soldiers do not. These people just want to survive. If they have any pursuit, they will probably take revenge. The Song Dynasty can give them food and military salary. Let’s not talk about whether to take revenge or not, at least their lives will be guaranteed.
What's more, there are still a large number of soldiers in the Xijin area.
As long as you fool them, even if Yelu Dashi wants to resist, it will be useless. Yelu Chun's will to resist is not very firm.
If you fool the soldiers on the lower level and fool the soldiers on the highest level, what else can Yelu Dashi do if he is left?
Now it has been destroyed by Yang Keshi.
He is really unable to bear the bastards of the Song Dynasty now. The civil servants are stupid, the military generals are greedy, the soldiers are so poor that they are so poor that they are covered with paper armor. The highest level is self-righteous. The emperor can't even trust the eunuchs. It's simply speechless for civil servants to be military supervisors. It's normal for eunuchs to be military supervisors. What the hell is this civil servants to be military supervisors?
It is really unreasonable that the Song Dynasty will not perish.
Wang Yue looked at the instantly corrupt situation with a manic mind.
At this time, the Liao army was more than fifty meters away from the north bank, and just showing its head could ensure safety.
In fact, the Liao army was no longer interested in them. The cavalry on both sides kept shouting and scolding each other and attacking each other with bows and arrows through the Baigou River, which was less than 100 meters wide.
In the sky above their heads, sharp arrows crossed with sounds of breaking through the air.
"If you have made all this contribution, you can surrender the Liao people without bloodshed. Then what are they here?"
Liu Qi said gasping.
Wang Yue looked at the south bank hatefully. Yang Keshi was still mobilizing the Song cavalry to shoot arrows to the north bank. He turned his gaze to the north bank. Yelu Dashi ordered the flag to wave, and the Khitan cavalry kept moving their positions, shooting arrows to the Song army on the north bank. Even Xiao Fu had led a large number of cavalry to rush downstream, obviously preparing to find a suitable location to cross the river and attack, and Zhao Ming had also led his troops to rush downstream. Once Xiao Fu tried to cross the river, they would block the south bank.
Even Yang Zhi, who was on the other side, led his troops to reinforce.
The battle between the two sides officially began.
"The purpose of leading troops to fight is nothing more than promotion and wealth. Only with military achievements can one be promoted and plunder can one make money. If the soldiers do not surrender, there will be no military achievements to be made. Even if there is promotion, it will not be fulfilled. The purpose of the generals' trip will be lost. Similarly, they cannot plunder, and they cannot make money if they cannot plunder. The soldiers are nothing more than receiving military pay and must be deducted by the generals. They are only looking for plundering during the war. Could it be that these soldiers really have the intention to kill the enemy for the country, and how can they plunder if they surrender?
You are indeed sincere and want to help the Grand Master solve this problem.
But now you block the path from the generals to the soldiers in the army. Tens of thousands of people from the Western Army ran to Hebei to wait for this opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune?
If you want to be an official, you have to understand these things.
As an official, whether in the army or elsewhere, there are these tacit rules."
Liu Qi said.
As he spoke, he realized that there was a leech lying on his hand. He was so scared that he screamed and quickly threw it away.
"Walk!"
Wang Yue dragged him upwards and said.
"where you go?"
Liu Qi said in surprise.
"Go and wait and see them beaten by Yelu Dashi!"
Wang Yue said angrily.
"It's not true? Yang Keshi is the number one powerful general under the Grand Tutor, and his troops are one of the best strong troops in the northwest."
Liu Qi said.
"Then let's watch!"
Wang Yue said.
While he was talking, he dragged Liu Qi to a reed. At the same time, more than a dozen servants of Liu Qi's subordinates came over with their horses. The two of them immediately got on the horse and returned to the bridge, watching coldly outside the range of the bow and arrow, watching Yang Keshi's command as if he was determined. However, what Liu Qi said was not bad. Yang Keshi's troops were indeed elite. The Western cavalry fought back against the opposite arrow rain on the river bank, and they still had no one to retreat.
Of course, there are very few casualties.
After all, there is almost no accuracy for bows and arrows across hundreds of meters.
The battle between the two sides was like a rooster pecking at each other, shooting arrows at the other side at random, while occasionally using the shield on their arms to block the arrows falling above their heads.
It doesn't matter if you're shot.
Arrows falling at such a distance cannot penetrate the armor.
The Song army's cavalry was actually mainly bows and arrows, and many cavalry would not even attack. Those who could fight immediately were already considered elite. In addition, there were actually many cavalry at the end of the Song Dynasty. Until the second year of Zhenghe ten years ago, because Tong Taishi took over Hehuang, all the official horse farms had 90,000 horses.
Of course, this is the total number rather than the war horses.
But it is nonsense to say that the Song Dynasty has no horses, so it is still nonsense to be able to defeat foreign enemies.
My Song Dynasty is clearly...
Just can't beat it!
The situation on the Baigou battlefield then took a sharp turn for the worse...
Xiao Fu crossed the river.
In the shallow water area of the downstream, the Khitan cavalry led by Xiao Fu wades by the water. Zhao Ming's troops on the shore were shooting arrows, but they still failed to stop them. As the first batch of Khitan cavalry stepped onto the south bank, the two sides immediately started a melee, but Xiao Fu's number of subordinates crossing the river far exceeded Zhao Ming. Countless Khitan and Xi cavalry flocked by on the open river surface, quickly spreading their wings to encircle Zhao Ming. The latter did not run away and still led his subordinates to fight hard there. This point is worthy of recognition.
Yang Keshi frowned and looked over there, but at the same time, a large number of Khitan soldiers opposite him dismounted and held large shields to start rushing to Baigou Bridge.
On this side, the Song army also dismounted and formed a shield to fight back.
The bloodiest infantry close-range battle on the bridge began.
Yang Keshi turned to look at Wang Yue.
But he still doesn't have that thick-skinned face after all.
Fortunately, a cavalry from Zhong Shidao arrived at the reinforcements.
"Old Zhao, go and reinforce the downstream!"
Yang Keshi shouted excitedly.
The person who came was Zhao De, a veteran general on Jingyuan Road. Old Zhao turned his eyes downstream in shock and saw the Khitan cavalry swarming by, and he also saw Zhao Ming surrounded.
Then……
He turned around without any hesitation and ran away.
Poor Yang Keshi was stunned. He stared at the escaped Zhao De in a daze.
"Old man, are you worthy of the country if you escape at the last minute?"
He let out a sad roar.
Chapter completed!
