Chapter 35: Revenge
In fact, it’s no wonder that Abohe is so proud.
Song and Liao had been at odds for countless years, but on the battlefield, the victors were basically the Liao people.
Otherwise, the Song Dynasty would not have offered coins to the Liao Kingdom every year.
The so-called spending money to buy peace.
And Abohe has been fighting against the Jurchens in Liaodong.
I have often heard about how weak and vulnerable the Song people were, so naturally I had the thought of contempt in my heart.
As for his brother Abjin's death in the battle this time, judging from the reported situation, he died fighting hard after being trapped by the Song army after being depleted of men and horses.
Qu Wenxu Fei, this kind of thing is not unique to the Song Dynasty.
The same is naturally the case with the Liao Kingdom.
In order to alleviate your own sins, you can learn this kind of thing by yourself no matter where you are.
The concept of war in Abhe's mind was still stuck in the inertial thinking from the time when he was fighting against the Jurchens.
It was this kind of thinking that made him suffer a big loss in his first confrontation with the Song Army.
Abhe is unfortunate.
The first time he fought against the Song people, he encountered the most powerful army and the most powerful general among the Song army.
Xiao Ding was a little regretful that the crossbow arrow he shot missed.
This is actually very normal. When riding on a horse, with the ups and downs of the horse, the arrows shot out are basically covering. If you want to stare at someone and kill them at a fixed point, you basically rely on luck.
Already.
Anyone who can move a hundred steps on a horse is more than 90% bragging.
Moreover, ordinary people cannot draw a hard bow at all on horseback, so the cavalry bow is much softer than the bow used by infantry, and its strength and range are far different.
Xiao Ding used the Divine Arm Bow in the cavalry. In fact, it was strung in advance. To truly string the Divine Arm Bow, you need to step on the ground to complete this action. Therefore, among the cavalry, the Divine Arm Bow
It's just a disposable item.
Moreover, in order to ensure an effective armor-piercing rate, Xiao Ding forcibly required that he could only shoot within thirty steps. With the impact speed of the cavalry at this time, after firing the crossbow and firing the crossbow, the remaining time was only enough
The cavalry threw away their divine arm bows, then picked up their spears or drew their sabers.
Anyone who wants to put the Divine Arm Bow in his bag at this time will probably lose his head because of it.
The gap in weapons between the two sides determines the extent of losses suffered by both sides in the first wave of fighting.
The Liao people were hit by a hail of arrows, but the Song people were unscathed.
The Song people fired one round from their divine arm bows, and more than 20 Liao people fell off their horses on the spot.
If you fall off a charging horse at high speed, even if you are lucky enough not to be trampled to death by your companions behind you, you will only be able to survive when you fall to the ground. If you are not so lucky, you will have one foot in the stirrup and be killed.
The war horse was dragged forward, its flesh and blood mutilated, and it looked like a human being.
Xiao Ding threw away his bow and raised his spear. Abohe on the opposite side was also heading towards him.
The generals of both sides rushed to the front.
There is nothing fancy at all, all the skills are reflected in the control of horses by both sides. Both of them hold guns with both hands and use all their strength to stab each other with one shot.
Speed, strength, direction, and of course, the most important thing is courage.
Xiao Ding was so fast.
When his spear pierced Abohe's chest, Abohe's spear had just touched the Kaijia on his body.
Just such a small, lightning-fast gap is the distance between life and death.
The strength in Abohe's hand disappeared in an instant. The spear brought up a stream of sparks on Xiao Ding's armor, but it slipped to the side because his own body was a little crooked by Xiao Ding's shot.
Even the hand was off.
The result was that Abohe died.
Not even a single hair of Xiao Ding's hair was injured.
The moment the spear penetrated his chest, Xiao Ding had already let go of the spear in his hand. When the horses passed each other, he didn't even look at the opponent, but drew out the saber stuck beside his leg.
If he didn't let go, the repulsive force of the spear would injure Xiao Ding's arms.
The confrontation between the small groups of cavalry was swift and straightforward. With one charge, the outcome was clear.
The Liao cavalry had already lost more than twenty cavalry in the first round of shooting. When the two sides passed each other and a flash of sword light flashed, the loser knew what to do next.
Escape of course.
Abohe is dead.
As a result of the hedging, nearly twenty more Liao cavalrymen fell off their horses.
In the blink of an eye, nearly half of the more than 100 Liao cavalrymen were lost. If they didn't flee at this time, how could they stay and wait for another group charge?
Therefore, after passing by the Song cavalry, the Liao cavalry did not look back, but accelerated forward and ran for their lives.
By the time the Song army circled their horses and turned around, the Liao people were already a hundred paces away.
"Kill!" Xiao Ding pinched the horse's belly and roared, crushing the horse forward.
The decisive victory has been decided, and now it’s time to harvest more fruits of victory.
As for the Liao army, the competition at this time was not who was braver, but whose horse had more strength and who could run faster.
This pursuit lasted more than ten miles. Relying on the speed of their horses, Xiao Ding, Wang Jun, Zhou Huan and others beheaded more than ten people, and finally watched helplessly as the other party escaped across the border.
The war horse under his crotch was already breathing heavily. If he continued to chase, he might still gain something, but there was not much meaning anymore. Xiao Dingle stopped the war horse and sent Zhou Huan with half of the men to continue tracking.
The other party ensured that the other party fled back to the Liao border instead of staying here to do evil. He himself led people back to Gonglian Village.
At this moment, wailing sounds could be heard from different places in the village.
Finally someone survived.
When he breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Ding's heart began to tighten again. The corpses everywhere showed that Gongqin Village had suffered a devastating blow.
Several soldiers who had been injured in the confrontation had their injuries wrapped up now. When they saw Xiao Ding coming back, they hurriedly came to greet him.
"How is it?" Xiao Ding turned over and dismounted and asked in a deep voice.
Several soldiers looked miserable, "It's like destroying the village. Only a few half-grown children and a few adults are left. The others are all dead."
Xiao Ding's face was as dark as water, and he looked at the walls around Gongqin Village and the shelves behind the walls. They were all intact, with no trace of a battle at all.
"How on earth was Gongqin Village destroyed? Did the Liao people fly in?"
"Let me ask you clearly. When the Liao people attacked, the lookout posts in the village discovered it in advance. They also closed the gate, and the young men in the village were also ready to fight. But the problem is that at this time, there was a caravan in the village.
We are purchasing goods here." A soldier said.
Xiao Ding gritted his teeth and said, "Liao spy?"
"Yes!" The soldier nodded: "Those people were dressed like us Song people, and no one was prepared. These people suddenly pulled out their swords, opened the door from inside to outside, and then Liao Qi rushed in. People in the village,
There was only time to light up the smoke."
"Commander, when we were beheading just now, we found several Han faces among the dead Liao cavalry. It seems they are from this caravan." Wang Jun walked over and said.
Xiao Ding took a deep breath. Such a transaction on the border is tacitly approved by both parties. In such a caravan, you can freely enter and exit, purchase goods, buy and sell products, exchange needs, and even inquire about information. It doesn't matter.
Yes, but collaborating with the military inside and outside would cross the line.
"Inform all villages of this situation. From now on, no caravans will be allowed to enter the village fortress. They can only trade outside the village. At the same time, report this matter to Daming Mansion Xia Fuzun and the Pacifying Envoy. On the border, everyone
We need to prevent something like this from happening again." Xiao Ding said to Wang Huan.
"Yes!" Wang Huan nodded: "The control and Gonglian Village have been abolished. What should we do with these people?"
Wang Huan pointed out that there were less than twenty people left in the village, mainly women and children.
"Bring them all back to Tianmen Village for resettlement!" Xiao Ding sighed.
He has experienced too many such things over the years. Besides sighing, what else can he do?
The sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance. The two of them looked up and saw a flying horse approaching. There was actually a person lying on the saddle. It was the two scouts from before.
"Control, General Wang." The two dogs rode their horses in front of the two of them. They first lifted the man off the horse and fell to the ground with a thud. "I saw this guy on the road.
He was so sneaky that he stepped forward to ask, but he actually ran away and was taken down by me, but I didn’t know what it was?”
The man's hands and feet were tied, and he was twisting like an earthworm on the ground.
Xiao Ding looked at this man's dress and his eyes turned cold at first.
He stepped forward and kicked the man onto his back, then stepped on the man's chest.
"Xiao Tongzhi, I am Lu Chun. I am Lu Chun. We have met before, and I gave you a gift on behalf of our family head." Lu Chun, who was on the ground, shouted at the top of his lungs.
Xiao Ding laughed heartily: "So, the one who is buying goods in Gonglian Village today is your caravan?"
Lu Chun's face turned pale.
"Commander, for the sake of the head of my family, please spare my life! I will definitely give you a heavy gift when I turn around to Lu."
"Does the head of your family know that you did this?" Xiao Ding slowly took out the knife from the sheath.
"Commander, spare your life, spare your life, I can be an internal agent for you, I can do things for you!" Lu Chun cried and shouted.
Xiao Ding was too lazy to talk to this person anymore, so he put the knife against Lu Chun's chest, and slowly pressed it down inch by inch until it penetrated, and when he pulled it out, he pulled it out again.
Pressed it up.
After five or six blows, Lu Chun at his feet became silent.
At nightfall, Zhou Huan finally came back. In Gonglian Village, the dead had just been buried. That is to say, a big pit was dug and the victims were buried in it. They were buried in peace.
