A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1,238: Frightened After Hearing the News, Build a Temple in Beijing

Just when Huang Chun led his army to raid the enemy, Shen An dug holes according to the route and buried all the gunpowder he carried on this trip.

This was the scene of a large explosion, and the rural soldiers responsible for lighting the fuse were half stunned.

This is also a big dish prepared by Shen An for the Liao army.

The Liao army was filled with gunpowder smoke, and broken limbs and broken arms were flying around. Then the horses neighed and ran around, and there was no formation at all.

General Liao felt a ringing in his ears. He turned around on his horse and saw that his subordinates were either lying on the ground or running around in panic on the backs of their horses.

Whose handiwork is this?

The Song army was mostly conservative when facing the Liao Dynasty. They were afraid of fighting with superior cavalry.

The superior cavalry has too many tactics to choose from when facing infantry, including advancing to attack and retreating to defend.

Unless the Song army gathers together the elite cavalry of the Forbidden Army, the Liao army will not be afraid.

If I can't beat you, infantry brother, don't you know how to run?

This is where their confidence lies.

Most of the battles between Song and Liao were like this.

But today's Song army's tactics confused the Liao generals.

He smelled a familiar scent.

After several failed battles with the Song Army, the army has analyzed those battles and concluded that...whether it is Han Qi or Bao Zheng, they are not such bold people and do not dare to take risks.

So who is leading those battle formations?

Shen An!

The guy with infinite hatred for Daliao.

His father was said to have died in Liao territory, but no one could find him.

Revenge for killing my father!

First, they used their cavalry to lure the enemy. The Hebei Road had been timid for a long time, and even the scouts did not dare to cross the border to investigate. This made the Liao army already drifting.

So they gave chase.

But the Song army had already laid a trap, and when they ambush the Liao army, they immediately fled.

Our troops are tired, so we should go back first. If you have the ability, just chase them all the way and try.

The army led by Yelu Hongji was not far away. At this point, the Song army rushed over to deliver food.

But with the violent explosion, all these plans came to nothing.

General Liao suddenly woke up, and he roared: "It's Shen An! Shen An is the only one who can do such shameless tactics. He's here. Retreat! Retreat!"

He dared to contain the entire Hebei Road by leading his army alone, but when he encountered Shen An, he didn't even have the courage to collide and just wanted to escape.

Guo Ang and his men came immediately. Seeing the Liao army running for their lives in a mess, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Shouldn't the Liao army in the past gather together and then counterattack?"

Zhou Li was also a little dumbfounded, "This Liao army is brave and has been in Zhending Mansion for a long time, and they are never afraid. There are only more than 4,000 people in Shen An's side, why did he run away?"

"Shen An is here!"

A loud roar suddenly broke out among the Liao army, and then they ran away faster.

Damn it!

Only then did Guo Ang know why, "Is it actually fear?"

"In Xiongzhou, the Liao army secretly attacked the prince, but was attacked by Shen An. On Linfu Road, the Liao army ambushed Zhe Jizu, but Shen An on the periphery came with a counter-ambush... Yanmen Pass, Baozhou... Fan Yang was under the command of Xiao Yue... ...This is so majestic! Even the Liao army was afraid."

Shen An rode away in pursuit. Guo Ang suddenly drew his sword and shouted: "The civil servants of Shen County are leading their troops to fight. What should we, the warriors, do?"

The three thousand cavalry behind him shouted: "Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"

At this time, no cooperation was needed, and the flag suddenly waved from the front.

"Mr. Shen..."

The sergeant said with a red face: "The Duke of Shen County has ordered the whole army to pursue us!"

wipe!

Guo Ang is the commander of the capital!

Can you, Shen An, order this?

But Guo Ang said without hesitation: "Brothers, kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy!"

Countless Song troops roared away.

Suddenly someone from the Song Army in front shouted, "Brothers, it's time to hit the grass..."

"It's time to hit the grass valley!"

The Liao army panicked and began to flee. The Song army waited for work and kept approaching.

Crossbow arrows were flying in the air, and the Liao army who was hit by the arrow screamed and fell off his horse. The Song army behind shouted happily: "We have war horses!"

War horses are wealth to the Song army. With war horses, the Song Dynasty can form cavalry to compete with the Liao army.

So they aimed their arrows at people and tried not to hurt the horses.

More than ten Liao troops fell behind, and the Song troops surrounded and attacked them. Under the swords, only a piece of flesh and blood was left.

Guo Ang rushed through the flesh and blood and shouted: "Faster! Faster!"

Zhou Li also became anxious and shouted: "The Liao army is about to run away."

When the Liao army heard that Shen An was coming, and that he was bringing superior cavalry with him, they forgot all about their bravery and only knew how to run away.

Once the small universe exploded, the man and the horse actually distanced themselves somewhat.

Guo Ang felt that the Liao army was about to run away, but Shen An led his army in hot pursuit.

Suddenly more than a hundred riders appeared in front...

"He's one of ours!"

Guo Ang smiled bitterly and said: "How can more than a hundred people intercept the Liao army? They will be gone in one rush."

The more than a hundred people were riding their horses slowly, as if they were spreading something.

The cold wind blew, and Shen An in front said with a evil smile: "Come on, try the delicious food I prepared for you, barbecue, hahahaha!"

When the Liao army approached, the Song army in front lit torches and threw them down...

boom!

The fire suddenly jumped up, and then continued to extend, quickly forming a fire belt.

The flames gradually rose, and some of the horses rushing forward risked their lives to rush over, but more stopped abruptly, and then the Liao troops on their backs also flew out violently.

Several Liao soldiers fell into the flames, their bones were broken, and they could only scream.

The following Liao army suddenly crashed into them, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

"Rush over!"

General Liao's eyes were red, and he slashed at random with his sword. His soldiers also followed suit, and finally rushed to the front.

The flame belt is very wide. If you want to go around it... the price is to be strangled by the Song army.

So...there are only two ways to go.

Either rush over forcefully, or turn around and fight Song Jun.

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

Guo Ang saw this scene from behind and said happily: "The Liao army will definitely turn around and fight, prepare... We can't fall behind, we must fight hard to kill the enemy!"

Before he finished speaking, the Liao army in front suddenly moved.

Someone beat the horse and rushed forward, but the horse refused to move forward.

Some war horses rushed over and then fled with their owners neighing.

War horses are afraid of flames, and only a few can survive them.

"Don't they dare to turn around and fight?"

When Guo Ang was still feeling incredible, Shen An led his army and rushed forward.

The black meteorite sword was still indestructible, but his combat swordsmanship was no longer what it used to be. He parried a knife and then flipped his wrist, and his opponent was chopped off his horse.

At this moment, the village soldiers rushed forward, using their cooperation to strangle the chaotic enemy troops.

The Liao general had already rushed over. He turned around on his horse and cried as he watched his subordinates being strangled, shouting: "Come here, come here."

But war horses are afraid of fire!

The Song army kept cutting open the Liao army, then skillfully used crossbows to clear the way, and finally killed them with swords.

This method of killing was so skillful that people were frightened. A group of more than a hundred Liao troops rushed out of the encirclement and ran into Guo Ang's men head-on.

With just one face-to-face encounter, the entire Liao army was wiped out.

"Why are you so brave?"

Guo Ang was relatively clear about the fighting power of his subordinates, so he found it a bit incredible to defeat his opponent so quickly.

Zhou Li also killed a Liao army. His face was covered with blood, but he was very excited.

"Military leader, Shen An led the army to attack, but the Liao army did not dare to engage in the battle. The morale of our army has been greatly boosted! With this morale together... we are indestructible, we are indestructible!"

When the two armies are fighting, the competition is about comprehensive strength, such as weapons and various equipment.

But one thing is most important, and that is morale.

Countless examples of the weak defeating the strong show that morale can make up for the gap in numbers and equipment.

Song Jun showed off like this just now, which made Guo Ang burst into tears.

"Are certain men so brave?"

He led his men to charge in, and the Liao army was in chaos for a while.

The Liao army with less than 4,000 remaining was cut into countless pieces. The Song army's tactics on the periphery were the same, with crossbows and arrows taking precedence.

If you charge and kill, we will slowly release the encirclement and continue to use crossbows to deal with you until you are desperate, and then encircle and kill you again.

This method of warfare made the Liao army feel like they were in a trap, unable to use their strength, and could only wait desperately for the Song army to slaughter them.

At the other end of the fire belt, more than five hundred Liao generals gathered under their command and cried out sadly: "Run over, run over!"

He knelt on the ground and beat the ground hard, tears streaming down his face.

"You should fight to the death with Shen An! You shouldn't run, you shouldn't run!"

But Shen An's illustrious military exploits made him timid, and his regret at this moment was more like shirking responsibility.

"Xiangwen, we have to get out of here."

While supporting him, his men looked at the more than a hundred Song troops with malicious intentions on the side, feeling that there were traps everywhere.

"withdraw!"

General Liao mounted his horse, took one last look at his submerged subordinates, and shouted: "Your Majesty will avenge you and others..."

Saying harsh words before leaving can not only soften the blow of failure, but also boost morale.

"The flames are getting smaller."

The fire belt gradually narrowed, and a few Liao soldiers who were lucky enough not to be surrounded broke out their horses and escaped.

The fire is getting smaller and smaller...

Damn it!

Something is wrong!

General Liao saw Shen An.

Shen An rode out, his body covered in blood.

He stared at General Liao and slowly pointed his sword at him...

"withdraw!"

The Liao general's first reaction was to run away, and the morale he had just gained dissipated.

"This shameless person must have anticipated the moment when the fire belt would burn..."

He had already thought about how to report the war situation to Yelu Hongji.

——Then Shen An is a big liar, digging traps everywhere to harm people. To fight him, you must be very alert and pay attention to the surrounding environment, otherwise you will fall into the trap without knowing it. How will you die? Don't even know.

"That's all."

Shen An stopped his subordinates who wanted to pursue him and said: "Yelu Hongji is coming. We should at least leave some people to report the news. This is just the right time for the remaining soldiers to be defeated."

Guo Ang also came over. He killed five people in this battle, which was really satisfying.

"What Duke Shen said is true. Yelu Hongji came with a large group of troops. When he saw the defeated army, his morale must have dropped. So instead of killing them all, it is better to stay and go back."

Shen An nodded slightly, turned around and looked at the end game, and said, "Surrender!"

"My husband has an order, please surrender!"

Before the surrender order was issued, the Liao army could not escape being hacked to death even if they abandoned their swords and knelt down.

In an instant, the battlefield was full of broken Liao dialect shouting for surrender.

Guo Ang looked at the screams and said happily: "Mr. Shen, what a great victory! How to deal with these corpses? Take them back to boost morale."

Shen An frowned, and Huang Chun said from the side: "If my husband kills enough enemies in every battle, he will build a Jingguan..."

"Building a Jingguan?" Guo Ang remembered, but he had never seen such a "building" that showed martial arts, and he was a little confused.

Han'er's bravery had gradually dissipated in the melee in the feudal towns, and had gradually deteriorated in the Song Dynasty's hundred years of external humiliation.

And Jingguan is the 'building' that most inspires Han'er's fighting spirit!

The fourth update is here, good night!
