Come to Song Dynasty with the system

At the foot of the boulder mountain.

Xiao Guo was scolded by Xiao Yuan.

Their strength was nearly three times that of their opponent, but not only were they defeated in the end, they even lost the courage to charge again. This was really an embarrassment to the Liao soldiers.

That is to say, it is wartime now. Killing his own general will affect the morale of the army. Otherwise, Xiao Guo's life may not be saved at this moment.

Speaking of which, Xiao Guo was wronged. As Xiao Yuan's family general, he usually dealt with bandits. These people had little willpower and no military spirit at all.Once they find out that their Liao army is approaching the border, they will run away like rats crossing the street.

He didn't even dare to fight head-on. Such a battle was going too smoothly, and it couldn't prove Xiao Guo's power at all.After all, it is possible to defeat bandits by sending just one person to command an army.

But it was different now. They were facing the Dragon Army, whose equipment and morale were stronger than theirs, so they were destined to suffer.

"I'm giving you 5000 people. This time, no matter what, you have to destroy the dragon army on the opposite side. If you can't do it, you can die." Although he was angry, Xiao Yuan decided to give Xiao a chance.

"Yes, general, don't worry. I can't complete the task this time. I'll come here to see you." Xiao Guo also saw that the head of the family was angry. He knew that if he didn't behave well, he might not have the chance to behave again, so he quickly agreed, and then After ordering all five thousand cavalry, plus the nearly four thousand cavalry in his own hands, a total of nine thousand cavalry rushed towards the headquarters of the third brigade.

With a strength advantage three times that of the Dragon Army, Xiao Guo was once again full of confidence. The morale of the nine thousand Liao Army was also high, and they looked like they were going to destroy the three brigades in one go.

"The enemy is coming, and the arrows are all ready. This time we don't need to charge. We will just waste the opponent here and wait for the reinforcements to arrive. This time, we have to keep all the [-] Liao troops in front of us. , Don't let anyone go." Brigadier Wang Cai's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light.

No matter how you look at it, it is worth using [-] enemies to bury a company of soldiers with you.

In view of the fact that the frontal attack and double flanking tactics just now were defeated by the Long Army, this time Xiao Guo adopted a full frontal attack tactics.

Considering that the arrows in the hands of the Dragon Army were very powerful, this time he ordered all the charging Liao cavalry to wear shields, asking them not to flinch even in the face of the rain of arrows from the Dragon Army, let alone be afraid.As long as they can rush in front of the dragon army and rely on their numerical advantage, they will definitely win.

After the experience of the battle just now, Xiao Guo thought that Long Jun just caught them off guard with the dense arrows.Once he was prepared, he firmly believed that he would be able to win with his superior strength.

No matter what happens, the Dragon Army can be defeated. In this way, General Xiao Yuan can be given an explanation.

Xiao Guo was very confident. When he saw that all nine thousand cavalrymen under his command had taken out their shields, he was convinced. He shouted loudly and gave the order to attack.

"Is the gasoline ready?" Wang Cai on the other side asked his subordinates calmly.

"Brigade commander, everything is ready. We have also dug a trench in front of the position. Gasoline will be poured into it soon to ensure that the enemy cavalry cannot rush over."

After listening to his subordinate's answer, Wang Cai nodded with satisfaction.At this time, the Liao army four miles away launched an attack.

"Okay, let's add gasoline." Knowing that the time had come, Wang Cai gave the order.

The third brigade was in a tight formation, and all the soldiers changed from riding to walking, or took out eight consecutive rounds and transformed into archers, or directly carried gasoline barrels and started busy with irrigation.

The distance of four miles is not too far for the cavalry, and it is an excellent impact distance.

Xiao Guo came with a large number of Liao cavalry. Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, the dragon army still had no intention of launching an attack.

"Charge, keep charging, raise the shield." Xiao Guo felt joyful in his heart.He knew that Long Jun had a powerful continuous bow that could shoot several arrows in a very short period of time, causing effective damage.

Arrows are arrows after all, they can hurt or kill people, but I have never heard of a major war in which one side could win completely by relying on arrows.In the end, it all depends on the true strength of both parties.Just like now, once the Liao cavalry rushes in front of the Dragon Army, people can easily pass by with the help of the horse's momentum. At that time, what does it matter even if some people are injured by arrows?

"Rush, rush!"

Under Xiao Guo's shouts, many Liao cavalry also saw the general's intention, so why are you so polite?Just keep charging.

The shield in his hand was already raised above his head during the impact, but he never forgot to clamp the horse's legs with his legs and speed up the horse.

"Ready the bow and arrow—let it go!"

As the Liao army expected, when the distance between the two sides approached a hundred steps, the Long army began to shoot bows and arrows.

Instead of firing eight rounds directly, it is thrown from a longbow. This kind of lethality is farther away.

After the first burst of arrows was fired, the Liao Cavalry got closer, and then more Dragon Army soldiers picked up eight consecutive rounds and started shooting directly.

There was a clanging sound, and arrows rained down.

It fell into the charging Liao cavalry, causing them considerable damage.

Even though Liao Qi had made certain preparations, facing the rain of arrows, it still caused a lot of casualties.Especially those war horses, many were killed by bows and arrows.Once the war horses suffer casualties, they will fall to the ground with their masters.

It is no joke if someone falls off his horse during the charge. Even if you are lucky and will not be hit by the arrows that fall next, there is often a chance that you will die under the iron hooves of your charging horse. under.

Shooting eight consecutive rounds, there is no need to aim at the target. The task you receive is to shoot the eight arrows in your hand as quickly as possible.

In fact, there is no need to aim, because the front battlefield is full of charging Liao cavalry. If you shoot eight arrows, you can hit two or three cavalry at will. The only difference is where they will be shot. , can it be fatal?

"Don't stop, just rush forward, victory will be ours."

Seeing his own cavalry, their horses fell to the ground or fell off their horses. Xiao Guo's eyes were a little red, but he still did not forget to continue to speed up and charge forward. In his eyes, victory was right in front of him.

It was at the moment of imminent victory that the third brigade commander Wang Cai spoke. "ignition".

After receiving the order, thirty soldiers from a platoon who had already been holding torches threw the torches in their hands into the ditch more than ten meters away. Then, without waiting for the torches to land, they turned around and sped up.

Fortunately, they ran fast enough. Just as they turned around and ran a few steps away, the torch behind them fell to the ground and came into contact with the gasoline. The flames immediately rose, and then waves of fire appeared behind them, like waves on the sea, chasing after them. There was a rush behind them.

A platoon of Dragon Army soldiers knew what the outcome would be, so they ran fast enough, and all of them were safe and sound.The Liao Qi who rushed from the opposite side were not so lucky. The sudden wall of fire, which was more than a foot high, scared them immediately.

Especially the war horse under his seat. This kind of beast is most afraid of flames.As soon as the huge fire appeared in front of them, they instinctively stopped suddenly, turned around and ran away after a sudden stop.

At this time, in the eyes of the war horse, there is only one idea, and that is to run as far as possible. It is really too dangerous here.

The war horse stopped suddenly and reacted completely without obeying the master's instructions. Some unprepared Liao cavalry were thrown off their horses one after another.

Even if some Liao cavalrymen with good equestrian skills grabbed the reins and were not thrown off, they could follow the horses back and collide with their own horses that were accelerating behind them. That was no joke.

At high speed, when horses weighing over a thousand kilograms collide, one can imagine what the result will be.

Bang bang bang bang...

Amidst the teeth-piercing collisions, the Liao cavalry started killing each other.

This scene fell in Xiao Guo's eyes, making him so angry that he almost lost his temper.

I originally thought that I would pay a certain price and just rush to Long Jun's side. After all, he had a numerical advantage, but what happened to the sudden fire?

The fire was so strong that it was impossible for the cavalry to cross over. How could they get close to the dragon army and kill the enemy?

The fierce fire blocked the road, making all his early efforts meaningless. Seeing another batch of arrows falling towards him, he had no choice but to give the order to retreat.

Fortunately, there was a fire blocking the dragon army's cavalry from catching up. Otherwise, I really don't know how much the losses would have been this time.

Despite this, the Liao army also suffered heavy losses after one charge. More than 8000 of the original 1000 cavalry were killed, but now only [-] cavalry were left.

Unscathed, Wang Cai won the first battle and killed more than 1000 enemy cavalry. It was considered that he had avenged Chu Guang and the others, and Wang Cai's anger was no longer so intense. "Notify us, replenish food, and prepare for the next battle, or even chasing the enemy."

Wang Cai still had a strategic vision, and what he expected was good. When Xiao Guo gained nothing, he returned to the Chinese army camp with a broken army. After meeting General Xiao Yuan, he was naturally scolded.

After scolding, Xiao Yuan, who had lost some of his anger, said, "Okay, let's get ready. Shall we retreat?"

"Retreat?" Xiao Guo looked puzzled after hearing this.

"Yes, that is to retreat. Originally, when we appeared here, we were looking for something unexpected to happen, but now, the suddenness has long been gone, and the dragon army has already been prepared. What are we waiting for if we don't retreat next? We are waiting to be attacked by the dragon. Is the army under siege?" Xiao Yuan said with anger on his face again.

Pointing to the [-]-strong army, it was impossible to destroy the Dragon Army or to inflict serious damage.His appearance was just a matter of suddenness. Now that this possibility is gone, of course he has to withdraw.
