The general attack order was given.
The first one to rush out was the Shazhou cavalry, with three thousand cavalry heading straight for the Liao army's rear route, followed by the Dangxiang cavalry. The most elite Xizhou light cavalry responded one step slower, and was even half a beat slower than Zhe Weichang's infantry.
They couldn't seize the way out, so they rushed into the Liao cavalry from the side.
The Liao cavalry lost its power, four cavalry teams fled around and killed them. The four brothers of the Huyan family who were trapped in the formation, Zhe Weichang rushed up with infantry carrying a spear that was ten feet long.
From a distance, a few spears stabbed over.
In close combat, it is impossible. Now it is the dominant position of the spear infantry. The Liao cavalry gave up their horses and rushed to the front, and there were shields and swords mixed in the spear infantry to take action.
Infantry armored infantry plundered the formation on the periphery.
The Liao people were preparing to go out to rescue, Gao Qiong had already killed 50,000 infantry soldiers, and then Xizhou, Wuzi, Liugu, and Dangxiang were also attacking the formation. They were not capable of combat power, but their number of advantages were still full of momentum.
The elites were responsible for siege and killing 30,000 elite cavalry of the Liao people.
Cao Cong was leading his men to withdraw his troops, and a commander came to the army: "General Cao, Liu Xunjun's military order, give Liao Datong City a meeting gift and your troops will return to the camp."
"Get orders!"
How can you miss something so cool?
Cao Cong led his men to scream and carried the tiger to Datong City.
"Replace the solid bullet, the solid bullet, aim at the main city tower...
Cao Cong shouted heart-wrenchingly.
The soldiers knew they ran away only for one round, and there was no order from above to fight there.
There was a guy on the city tower who was not wearing armor but was extremely gorgeous and became the target of at least 300 people. The rest of the people didn't want to, but were a little far away, and probably couldn't hit the target, so the target turned to the defenders on the city wall.
What does it feel like to hit the face with a two-pound shot put at a speed of about 200 meters per second?
And there are more than one.
The generals had a sense of danger, and the Song army felt something was wrong when they set up the formation and they all stayed away from the city.
What can someone do if it is such a long distance from the Song people?
Then, a two-pound shot put weighed slap in the face, and it wasn't a single shot.
Yelu Liu Lishou, his mother was the real sister of the current empress dowager in Liao Kingdom.
"Retreat, retreat..." Cao Cong looked at the round of shooting and ran back quickly. Five thousand infantrymen were not at ease to respond because he clearly saw the guy who was hit in the face.
I don't know it, but the clothes were at least a great nobleman from the Liao Kingdom, and they might be the king's title.
So, withdraw quickly.
As expected, Cao Cong had just retreated, the soldiers who were rescued from the Liao people turned around and rushed to him. The city gate opened wide and another group of soldiers rushed out.
Gao Qiong was prepared for a long time, and the troops who had been calling the war-assisting troops just now.
At this time, his 100,000 imperial guards came out to fight against the Liao army.
When the fight really started, Liu An would be useless, and Li Han could only watch the fun.
Gao Qiong led the army, and She Taijun helped to calculate and offered advice as the chief of staff.
The battle lasted until dark, and the two sides called for gold and retreated.
As the victorious party, the Song army carried away the weapons, armor, and horses that died in battle. Then the Liao people opened the city gate and came out to deal with the bodies of the Liao army on the battlefield.
At night, in the military camp, Liugu soldiers were educating Shazhou soldiers.
"Don't chop horses randomly. You should peel the horse's skin as completely as possible, and then use soil to rub the skin hard. The horse's bones should be more complete, especially large bones, so use a sharp knife to cut the knife instead of chopping it."
The Shazhou soldiers didn't understand when they came out to fight and had to deal with the corpses of the war horses.
A soldier from Xizhou also came over and said, "This horse is complete and can be exchanged for two linens. Look at one, it is a good skin, and can be exchanged for a tea cake. The one you make can only exchange for half a piece of cloth."
"You, you said a piece of tea cake?"
"certainly."
The Shazhou soldiers expressed their understanding and immediately showed their sword skills. They stripped off the horse's skin that had been blown and bloomed, and took it to the soldiers in Xizhou and Liugu like offering treasures.
Everyone identified: "Well, this can be worth a piece of tea cake, maybe you can add a silk scarf."
"real?"
"Really, believe us, the Song Dynasty caravan will soon be collected. Your general will record the number and just take the cloth in Lingzhou. You will definitely not be able to get a piece of cloth. As long as the leader is Tanhualang of the Song Dynasty, this matter will be fine, and others will not know."
"Okay." The soldiers of Shazhou began to pass on each other and gave gifts to obtain scriptures. What else could be exchanged for changing cakes?
The soldiers were excited by the great victory today.
The generals are different.
The generals sat around Liu An's tent and analyzed the situation in Datong City.
Zhe Weichang sat next to the fire and said, "This city is a majestic city, but fortunately it is not live water. After losing 30,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 rescuers, Datong City did not hurt its muscles, but instead defended the city with all its strength. Next, Yunneizhou will definitely send troops. In my opinion, quickly send troops to capture the Great Wall defense line and defend the city."
Liu An threw a piece of bone that had gnashed all the meat into the fire: "I mean, we will surround the points and attack the aid. When we surround Datong, there will definitely be Liao troops coming to rescue. The greatest force must be from Fengshengzhou and Youzhou City. From here to Yunneizhou, there are also county towns, four larger and eleven smaller."
"Around the site and attack the enemy with vitality, our Song army is best at positional warfare, and the cavalry's advantage is raiding. Take the moment, our army occupied Shuozhou from Song territory, and you also went to Xiazhou and then came from Song territory, so what about there is still a lot?"
Pan Luozhi said: "With the momentum, Shanyin County is between Shuozhou and Datong. When I came here, I saw a siege but did not attack. A small town that was less than 5,000 defenders. Let the follow-up troops surround him when they come, and shoot a few more rounds and they will surrender."
"Brother Pan, I have a job. Everything is done according to the rules, and the money is easy to share."
"Get orders."
Pan Luozhi clasped his fists heavily.
Since Liu An settled the strategy of arbitration and aid, Liu An's talent was not enough next, so Gao Qiong was fine. After discussing with the generals, he decided to plan the city, and the miscellaneous soldiers besieged the city, attacked once a day, and Cao Cong was responsible for the bombing. If he had the opportunity to attack the city, it would not be impossible.
Heavy troops bypass Datong, placed them east of Datong, selected places to ambush, and brought enough gunpowder.
Then, headed straight outside the Great Wall, set up three ambush circles to deal with reinforcements from Yunneizhou. Dangxiang and the inferior miscellaneous soldiers from Xizhou dismounted and changed to infantry. They only needed to smash stones, bid for javelins, and chop people.
The key defense line is the responsibility of the Song Dynasty imperial guards, who are good at fighting positions and have strong infantry soldiers.
The next morning, it was just dawn.
The vigorous siege battle began. According to Gao Qiong's layout, the momentum should be sufficient, and the attack intensity should be sufficient, but don't fight to the death.
When Cao Cong found an opportunity, he led his people to rush up and bomb for a round. Don't discount the team's troops.
At the beginning of the siege, a big flag fluttered in the wind, from far to near from the road.
Chapter completed!
