Come to Song Dynasty with the system

The current Liao army is not ready for a full-scale war. It belongs to the vanguard army, the kind of vanguard army without reinforcements.

Once an army like this advances too deep, it will easily be cut off from its retreat, surrounded and annihilated.

Xiao Yuan wanted to win the battle and make contributions, but this did not mean that he wanted to die.

"Oh." After the reason was explained, Xiao Guocai nodded belatedly, and then volunteered: "That's it, general, please leave the rest of the task to your subordinates."

When he was a pioneer before, he didn't make any achievements, but suffered a lot of losses, so Xiao Guo thought about performing well.

"Okay, there are [-] cavalry here, all handed over to you. We must guard the back road and not let the dragon army catch up and entangle us." Xiao Yuan nodded. Even if his subordinates have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, he certainly doesn't mind. Fulfill each other.

The Liao army was ready to retreat.

When they failed to achieve their goal, they decided to withdraw first for their own safety and join the other Liao troops before trying to fight again.

The screen of the drone soon transmitted back the picture of the Liao soldiers retreating, which fell into the eyes of the officers of the third brigade. They looked at the brigade commander with a hint of admiration.

The brigade commander was indeed the brigade commander, and he guessed one step ahead that the Liao army might retreat.

Wang Cai looked proud. Of course he would not tell the people below him. This was actually told to him by the division headquarters, which was also told by the military headquarters. The order was conveyed by His Majesty Su Shi.

Since there is no advantage to be gained, the Liao army's retreat is inevitable.

The task given to Wang Cai was to block the Liao army's charge if they continued to charge, but not to fight with the main force, but to fight with the main force.

On the contrary, if the Liao army retreats, they will rush forward and entangle the opponent.

This is an enemy army of 3 people. Now that they have shown their heads, of course we must find a way to eat them.

The Dragon Army's shortcoming is the insufficient number of troops. Even so, take your time and eat the opponent one bite at a time. You don't expect to become fat immediately, but as long as you continue to eat like this, one day, the main strength of the Liao Army will be defeated. Once the opponent loses its strength advantage, it will be time for the Dragon Army to capture the entire Liao region.

"Everyone obeys the order, mounts the horse, leaves behind all unnecessary things, goes into battle lightly, and adopts the flying kite style to stick to the opponent. Remember, our military strength is obviously weak now, so we must not compete with the enemy's strength. phenomenon, what you need to remember are eight words: when the enemy retreats, we advance; when the enemy advances, we retreat."

"Yes." All the officers of the third brigade stood at attention and agreed. Following the three thousand cavalry, they got on their horses one by one. Except for weapons, swords and arrows, everything else was piled together and headed straight towards the retreating Liao army. Kill it.

"How did they come after them?" Xiao Guo, who was responsible for cutting off the retreat, was puzzled when he heard the scouts reported that the Dragon Army cavalry had followed them, but he was also a little annoyed.

Well what does that mean.

Before, he was responsible for playing vanguard, and the opponent couldn't defend.

They were shooting arrows and setting fire again, acting like a coward.

Okay, they don't attack anymore. It's okay to withdraw, but why do you want to catch up again?

I originally thought that taking the post-office job would be just a show-off, and I would get credit for it, which could make up for my previous mistakes as a pioneer. Little did I know that this post-office job was not easy to do either.

Xiao Guo has decided that after going back this time, he must find someone to do the math for him to see if he has been having a bad year recently.But for now, he still has to deal with these chasing dragon troops first.

"Order the army to fight back with me. Even if the enemy comes to our door, don't let this credit go to waste." Xiao Guo quickly made his decision.

He had an advantage in terms of strength. He didn't attack before because the opponent couldn't defend himself. Now that he was catching up, he could finally have a good cavalry confrontation. He wanted to see if these Dragon Army were skilled in making iron and could really fight with them. One against two without falling behind?

After giving the order, the seven thousand Liao cavalry counterattacked towards the three thousand dragon army. But what they didn't expect was that in the face of their charge, the dragon army did not take a counterattack, but stopped and began to slowly retreat. , looking like he could run away at any time.

"I still want to run, but this time there is no fire. Let's see where you can run and chase." A flash of disdain flashed in Xiao Guo's eyes.

If there is a cavalry hedging, the outcome is still between [-] and [-]. After all, the Dragon Army is famous for being able to fight. At least the Liao Army did not gain any advantage in their hands.

But if he chases and the other party escapes, it will be different.A pursuit battle like this can easily turn into a defeat. At that time, the Dragon Army lost its morale and morale. When he led the Liao Army to sweep away the fallen leaves with the autumn wind, he would definitely be the victor.

With a smile on his face, thinking that after winning the battle, General Xiao Yuan would definitely praise him and reward him, Xiao Guo soon had a smile on his face.

But soon, the smile disappeared, and Long Jun actually shot them with arrows while running away.

The dragon army relied on the strength of the compound bow in their hands to kill them from a distance.

These Dragon Army cavalry brought nothing but weapons, not even food or water. This made them very light and ensured extremely fast speeds, making it difficult for the Liao army carrying shields and rations to catch up. .

The kite-flying style was first studied by the Mongols. The Liao Kingdom, which borders the country, also suffered losses in this style of play, and then began to learn it. It can be said that this method is no stranger to it.

Seeing that the Dragon Army was playing this trick, they took the initiative to throw down the extra things on their bodies to make themselves lighter. Then they began to speed up the pursuit, and fired arrows while chasing, as if they were shooting arrows at each other. appearance.

The Liao army responded quickly and the countermeasures adopted were also beneficial.But they ignored one thing, that is, they were wearing cloth armor, while Long Jun was wearing stab-proof clothing.

In terms of weight, both sides can be said to be about the same.But when it comes to defense, they are completely different.

Not to mention that the Dragon Army's arrows are inherently sharp, but just because of the defensive capabilities of the anti-stab suit, ordinary arrows cannot penetrate them.

In this way, both sides were firing arrows, but as a result, many Liao cavalry fell. On the other hand, unless the Dragon Army was unlucky enough to be shot at an important exposed position, otherwise, even if it was injured by bows and arrows, It won't be fatal, and he will be a good man again after treatment.

The dragon army had an obvious advantage. With their kite-flying style, they quickly injured many Liao cavalry, which made Xiao Guo furious.

He had also considered that even if the Dragon Army retreated, they would also retreat.But the result was that as soon as they withdrew, the dragon army stuck on them like dog skin plaster, not to mention the pain.

Xiao Guo just said that he was really unlucky. If he failed to be a pioneer, he would not be able to get any benefits if he stopped being a follower.When he watched his cavalry go from 7000 to more than 5000, and his morale began to decline, he knew he could no longer wait like this.

"Come here, ask the general for help, just say... that the dragon army is too powerful and we can't stop it." Xiao Guo said this painfully.

He also knew that when he said these words, he admitted that he was not capable, but it was better than burying all the cavalry here and having his head chopped off later.

The messengers were sent out and soon returned, bringing the news that they had received a new order from General Xiao Yuan, that is, they should stop where they were and no longer retreat.Not only that, General Xiao Yuan will also lead his army to fight back. If the Dragon Army dares to play kite flying again, he will send a large army to make a detour and surround the retreating Dragon Army.

As soon as the order came, Xiao Guo was stunned.

Didn't you say retreat?

What he thought was that someone would replace him, and then he would go to the general to accept the crime. It would not matter whether he was beaten with a military stick or dismissed from his post, as long as his head was not chopped off.But what's going on now? The general is also bringing his army back. Could it be that he wants to kill these dragons and retreat?

Xiao Guo didn't know that the reason why Xiao Yuan didn't retreat was because he met the scouts sent by Yi Baiqing and learned that the other party had led [-] cavalry and [-] infantry towards here.

He had no confidence because he thought he was a lone army. Now that he knew there were reinforcements, Xiao Yuan would certainly not continue to retreat.

On the contrary, he was worried that the dragon army in front of him would be scared away.

Xiao Guo didn't know this, but even with the general's new order, he opened up the formation and asked the soldiers to hold their shields in their hands. In short, he neither retreated nor advanced, and maintained the current state, even if The dragon army on the opposite side shot arrows at them, but they did not pursue them, but responded with the same bows and arrows.

The situation on the Liao army's side changed, and Wang Cai quickly felt something was wrong. But then, the soldiers from the small reconnaissance battalion who had already learned about the battle situation and went around behind the Liao army sent back the news, saying that it was The drone found smoke and dust billowing in the distance in mid-air. It must be that reinforcements from the Liao army were coming.

Just got the news that reinforcements from the Liao Army were coming, and the reinforcements from the Long Army were also approaching quickly. Hu Yanqing, deputy commander of the first division and commander of the second brigade, was rushing behind them and had already arrived at the place where they had thrown food and water bottles.

"Hahaha, there are reinforcements. It seems like this is a big battle. Okay, then let's wait here and see who can kill whom in the end?" Wang Cai couldn't help laughing after hearing this. With.

As a soldier, especially a soldier with ideals and ambitions, the battlefield is the best platform for him to display his abilities, and it is also the place where he can be promoted the fastest.

There were not many arrows in his hand, so Wang Cai simply stopped attacking and waited for the arrival of deputy division commander Hu Yanqing.

There was no movement from Long Jun here. This was something Xiao Guo wanted to do. He was happy to watch the show, especially when he saw that Long Jun five miles away had dismounted and started to rest. He also followed suit and asked his men to More than 5000 cavalrymen dismounted and rested.

On this day, the company that shot out the enemy first, followed as the vanguard, and then took over the task of breaking up the rear, but he was exhausted.Just take this opportunity to take a good rest.
