Chapter 232: Hit Him in the Face
Xiao Suoteng was so depressed and angry. It was so uncomfortable to be led by the nose and unable to catch up with the enemy! He was exhausted and the anger in his heart kept rising.
"Report!... General, the scout team ahead has spotted Yang Yanzhao's Volcano Army, and the Song Army is heading towards the Eagle Valley Entrance."
Xiao Suoteng was immediately shocked! Are the Song army planning to attack Ruzhou? These two thousand soldiers are really courting death.
: "Speed up the march, catch up and destroy them!"
After Xiao Suoteng gave the order, ten thousand elite light-armored cavalry immediately increased their speed, galloping and roaring away.
After a day of non-stop rapid march, they were still more than thirty miles away from the entrance of Yinggu Valley, and had not yet caught up with the two thousand Song troops in front. Xiao Suoteng looked at the exhausted soldiers and horses and gave an order: "Dismount and rest for an hour in the open area ahead."
The dusty elite cavalrymen dismounted and rested on the spot, feeding their horses, eating dry rations, drinking kumis, filling their stomachs, and gathering their strength before continuing the pursuit after an hour.
Yang Yanzhao looked coldly at the Liao army who were eating, drinking and resting in the open space in the distance, raised his left hand and pressed it down!
Two thousand elite cavalrymen of the Volcano Army, who were ready for battle at any time, immediately shook the reins, squeezed their legs against the horses' bellies, and dived down the slope!
"General! Song army!..." The Liao army soldier on guard shouted a warning.
The sound of horse hooves rolled by, and Xiao Suoteng also saw the iron torrent swooping down with murderous intent. He threw the mare's milk in his hand away in shock!
"Quick! Get on your horses and meet the enemy!"
The Liao army was in chaos. Some threw away their food, some copied their weapons, some looked for horses, and before they could hastily organize their battle formation, two thousand elite cavalrymen of the Volcano Army had already arrived in front of them with great momentum.
Yang Yanzhao led the charge and after deflecting a volley of arrows shot in panic by the Liao army, he stabbed a Liao general in the ribs with the bright silver spear in his hand. With a twist of his wrist, the Liao general was knocked off his horse with a scream.
The Volcano Army Cavalry, with their fierce fighting spirit after gathering their strength and with the tremendous force of inertia of diving down, rushed into the still panicked enemy group like a tiger into a pack of wolves.
The shouts of killing shook the sky, blood splattered everywhere, people and horses fell to the ground, howling shrilly, the ownerless war horses neighed and ran away, a bloody and violent massacre...
Xiao Suoteng screamed desperately and organized a part of the Liao army, trying to resist the momentum of the Song army's charge and then surround and annihilate them.
Suddenly there was a rumbling sound of thunder behind him. Xiao Suoteng turned around abruptly, his pupils suddenly shrank, and a torrent of inky iron armor was sweeping towards him with murderous aura!
The two thousand Mo Yun cavalrymen of the King of Qin arrived. This turned out to be a premeditated pincer annihilation battle.
A man who knows the current situation is a hero. Xiao Suoteng, who had been on the battlefield for many years, was a hero who knew the current situation. At that moment, without hesitation, he led hundreds of soldiers around him, rushed out of the encirclement to the east, and fled without looking back.
The main general fled. The Liao army lost their command and fighting spirit, and fled in all directions. The Huoshan Army and the Mo Yun Cavalry tried their best to chase and kill them.
The results of this battle were brilliant, and more than 6,000 elite cavalry of the Liao army were annihilated.
The bloody smell on the battlefield drifted to the earth slope a mile away. Luo Li had become accustomed to the cruelty and bloodiness of war in the cold weapon era. Her heart had become numb and she no longer felt any pain or compassion. If you don't kill the enemy, you will be killed by the enemy. This is the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak.
The soldiers cleaning up the battlefield still only needed bows and arrows and war horses. After several batches of bows and arrows were sent back to Yingzhou, the brothers defending the city had enough firepower to resist the Liao army that was attacking the city. The captured war horses had made the Mo Yun Cavalry and the Volcano Army equipped with enough luxury. Each soldier was equipped with three or four strong war horses, which was a guarantee for fighting the elusive guerrilla warfare.
Luo Li, the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor and the female military doctors were busy treating the wounded, trying their best to bring these brave and fearless wounded soldiers back to the Song Dynasty alive.
The Princess of Qin had already won enough respect from these warriors. In their hearts, the beautiful, kind, and skilled princess was a fairy from heaven. If it weren't for her amiable and playful jokes, they would have revered and worshipped her as a fairy who was not of this world.
Luo Li removed the arrow that had pierced the chin of a Volcano Army soldier, and while cleaning and stitching the wound, she jokingly said, "It's a pity that such a handsome young man got disfigured. But don't worry, my medical skills will ensure that you don't leak soup when you drink water and don't leak food residue when you eat.
If you can't get a wife because of your disfigurement, it's not my fault. It's up to you to work hard on your own. If you see a girl you like, go after her boldly."
There was a burst of laughter all around. The wounded soldier, who was teased by the princess, had a red face, but his heart was warm, and the pain from the operation seemed to be much less. He had the capital to brag about in his life. The scar on his face left by the operation performed by the princess herself was the most glorious mark of his life.
King Qin Zhao Defang and Yang Yanzhao inspected the camp. These elite soldiers had killed over ten thousand enemies and only lost more than two hundred of their own men. Although they were tired, their morale was high and their fighting spirit was high!
"This battle was a great victory. Each person will be rewarded with 10 taels of gold. The six soldiers who died will be cremated and compensated with 50 taels of gold. The ashes and pensions must be sent to their families."
Yang Yanzhao and Yun Yi gladly accepted the order. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin said that these soldiers who fought bravely and risked their lives behind enemy lines must not be allowed to suffer losses, and the rewards must be generous and generous. Anyway, there was plenty of gold looted from the treasuries of several state capitals of the Liao Kingdom and the homes of Khitan nobles.
"Yan Zhao, take a night's rest, then we'll go to Yingzhou and punch Marshal Yelu Xiezhen in the face." There was a hint of cunning in the King of Qin's smile.
Yang Yanzhao's eyes lit up! "Your Majesty, shall we go beat up Yelu Xiezhen?"
: "Well! Do you dare?"
"How dare you! Isn't it just Yelu Xiazhen and more than 20,000 Liao troops? Punch him hard and make the face of the Liao army marshal swollen!" Yang Yanzhao was full of confidence and high morale.
