Chapter 340: Frightening the Birds to Repel the Enemy
Qibali, north of Haikang County.
There were torches on the official road, and more than 2,000 hard faces of the Song army were looming in the light of the torches. But if you look closely, you will definitely find that many of them were sweating profusely and were extremely nervous.
There was no movement in the woods on both sides.
The old deputy military commander of the Song Dynasty, Su Liuyi, the old minister of the Fuguo, sat on the horse, wearing ink armor and holding a big knife, standing in front of the army. Although his face was serious, he seemed calm.
The fierce man holding the big banner next to him was a close confidant who had been following Su Liuyi for many years. At this time, his hands holding the big banner were covered with fine sweat. He asked softly: "Sir, can we stop the Yuan army with only these militias?"
Su Liuyi said: "If you can't stop it, you have to stop it."
He turned back and looked back.
At the last head of the army, the chariot could be seen faintly, which was actually the nine dragons climbing, and it was the dragon chariot.
As a veteran, Su Liuyi was also a famous general of this era, so he never thought of really resisting the Yuan army head-on.
Because it is obvious that only a few thousand militia recruited have fought with the Yuan army head-on and it is impossible to win.
Not long after, there were waves of horse hooves and noises of rebuking the war horses. Immediately afterwards, a continuous torch could be seen on the official road ahead, approaching at an extremely fast speed. The flames on the torch were blown by the wind and turned toward the direction of the Yuan army.
The Yuan army has arrived.
There was a lot of discussion in the Song army and a little panic. There was even a boy who was only about sixteen or seventeen years old and started crying.
They were not yet in their prime, and had joined the militia with their passion in their hearts. Only then did they feel scared when they were facing a fight.
Su Liuyi sighed softly in his heart, and at the same time he felt a little guilty and blamed himself.
Boys of this age should have stayed at home, but the people of the Song Dynasty were in decline and they really couldn't gather many middle-aged people again.
Relying on the small land of Leizhou alone, the Song Dynasty was already unable to bear the burden after the Yuan army fought for such a long time.
If it weren't for secretly buying a lot of food and grass from Vietnam at a high price, Zhao Dongting and others would have already lost food in Guangxi.
“Calm down.”
Su Liuyi heard the sound of crying in the army spreading, and finally shouted softly, "How can a man cry when he is wrapped in a horse and a corpse?"
The crying in the army is really smaller.
The older militia comforted the younger ones, "Don't worry, I will protect you kids."
The Yuan army is getting closer and closer.
Su Liuyi suddenly turned his head and said to the guard beside him: "Enter the forest and wait for the Yuan army to attack our army."
He guessed that the Yuan army should not know their reality, but at this time he was still nervous and couldn't help but look back at the dragon chariot.
The personal guards next to him led nearly a thousand people to the woods on both sides.
These soldiers were all the guards in the palace, and they had all been allocated at this time. Haikang County was almost in a state of no defensive power.
On the other end, Li Heng led his soldiers closer to the Song army, and he also muttered in his heart.
The Song army in front was as unmoved as a mountain, and even did not even move the defensive formation, which made him feel a little confused.
He led the army until hundreds of meters ahead of the Song army.
But the Song army still saw no movement.
Li Heng looked at the dense Song army and couldn't help but think, "Can Emperor Song come back with his army?"
If this were not the case, he really couldn't have imagined how Song Jun would have such confidence.
But he was also worried that the Song army was using the fraud.
He had already led his army here, so it was naturally impossible for him to go back like this.
And while he was silent, Su Liuyi on the opposite side suddenly shouted, "Where is Yuan General? Come out quickly and die."
"bluff?"
However, a light suddenly appeared in Li Heng's eyes, and a cold sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He felt that the acting of the chief Song Army was too fake.
Seeing that there were only a few thousand Song troops on the road, they dared to declare war on their own initiative. What if they were not bluffs?
He overturned the thoughts in his mind just now. It seemed that Emperor Song had not led his army back to Haikang.
At that moment, Li Heng raised his fat hand and shouted: "Foreign troops rushed!"
Although he is fat, he looks majestic with a big axe in his hand.
The drums sounded in the Yuan army formation, and the messenger shouted and ran towards the cavalry of the forward army.
"kill!"
The shouts of killing soaring into the sky suddenly echoed in the Yuan army formation, and more than 20,000 Yuan army cavalry rolled like a dragon, killing towards the Song army formation.
The ground shaking slightly.
Su Liuyi tied the rope back and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Retreat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped his horse and ran backwards.
These militias of the Song army were already extremely timid. When they saw the chief general shouting to retreat, how could anyone stay where they were?
Only when you are really facing a battlefield fight will you realize that your passion is not as vigorous as you imagined.
The momentum of the Yuan army's iron cavalry was already the courage of the Song army militia.
They had never fought on the battlefield, and it seemed that Zhao Dongting, who had just arrived in the Southern Song Dynasty, could not adapt to this situation at all.
The Yuan army, who was charging forward, was a little confused.
What's going on?
Why did you withdraw now?
Li Heng was also surprised to see the Song army's torches rushing back in chaos.
But then, he heard the chirping birds in the mountains and forests on both sides. It seemed that many birds were flapping their wings and flying.
There are ambushes in the forest!
