Chapter 47 Zhao Rong Cocktail
During the Northern Song Dynasty, how afraid was the Song people of the number one ace Tie Harrier, the Western Xia army?
I was so afraid that even the names of the ten small team leaders of the Iron Harrier Army were recorded in history books!
However, the Iron Harrier is definitely worthy of the fear and fear of the Song people. Since the remnant of Xianbei Li Yuanhao shamelessly invaded the Hetao region to establish the pseudo-Xia regime, the Iron Harrier Army created by Li Yuanhao has never lost on the battlefield! Basically, it can be said that if it weren't for the complex terrain of the Liupan Mountains and the Loess Plateau that restricted the Iron Harrier Army's performance, and the cost of the Iron Harrier Army was too high and too small, the Western Xia army had already used Iron Harrier as the forevan and entered the Guanzhong Plain of the Northern Song Dynasty!
Not only that, the Western Xia army also used the Iron Harrier Army as the vanguard in the Battle of Hequ, rushed into the Liao army camp, defeated the 100,000 troops of the Liao Kingdom, and almost captured the Liao pseudo-emperor Liao Xingzong, who was personally expeditioned. It can definitely be regarded as a powerful contender for the Song and Liao dynasties and famous all over the world! It is a powerful competitor of the world's most powerful army in this era!
This time, at the most critical moment of the Song-Xia border war, this world-renowned strongest army in Xixia took action again. Under the order of Wei Mingchage, the first general of Xixia, went south to reinforce the battlefield of Zangdihe City. The only purpose was to destroy the Song army's siege team, smash the Song army's hope of taking the lead in capturing Zangdihe City, and buy time for the main force of Xixia to break through the northern camp of the Song army!
If such a heavy responsibility is placed on other troops, of course, the pressure will be doubled and the psychological burden will be huge. However, after Wei Mingcha gave this important responsibility to the Iron Harrier Scouts, the soldiers of the Iron Harrier Scouts not only did not have any fear or worry, but on the contrary, they were cheering loudly from top to bottom, and their morale and fighting spirit were extremely strong! Wei Ming Dingdong, the chief general of the Iron Harrier Scouts, made a public and crazy statement, "In one hour, the people of Song will be defeated!"
With such a winning mentality, the three thousand iron kites drove south in a mighty way. While leading the horse, the eagle flag fluttered in the wind in the Iron kites. The passionate Western Xia army songs also echoed in the Iron kites' team. The confident and cruel grin also appeared on the faces of every Iron kites' soldiers.
In order to save horsepower, he led his horse and walked for seven or eight miles. Wei Ming Dingdong shouted and ordered all the soldiers of the Iron Harrier Scouts to get on the horse and prepare for the battle. While the flag was waving, three thousand Iron Harrier were like a man. They all turned over and fixed their bodies with iron hooks, so that even if they were injured and died, they would not be dismissed. Then they quickly arranged the iconic fish scale formation, protecting the main general Wei Ming Dingdong in the fish scale formation. Immediately afterwards, Wei Ming Dingdong let out another roar like a lion, "Go forward!"
"go ahead--!"
The three thousand Iron Harrier soldiers yelled neatly, holding the steel spear and steel knife in their hands, staring at the battlefield of Zangdihe City in the south with sharp eyes. They first trotted southward, then gradually accelerated, and gradually formed a mercenary, bringing up rolling yellow sand, almost filling the world, and murderous aura soared into the sky, almost as if it were real.
Soon, the vulnerable Song army battle formation appeared in the sight of the Iron Harrier Scout soldiers. Like the last time, the cowardly and incompetent Song people still let the heavy infantry line up in front of the formation, trying to use steel heavy armor to block the invincible iron hooves of the Iron Harrier Scout. Wei Ming Dingdong smiled coldly when he saw it, and said, "You are lucky. Today, the King of Jin will not let me attack you. Otherwise, no matter how many heavy infantry you have, you will still not be able to stop our Iron Harrier!"
The huge cheering sound soon resounded at the top of Zangdihe City. The defenders of Zangdihe City, who had always had the help of the pointed wooden donkey in the Song army, jumping and jumping on the city wall, as if they had seen the spectacular scene of the Iron Harrier Army rushing to pieces of the Song army once again, and were ready to go out of the city to assault and destroy the Song army's siege weapons under the cover of the Iron Harrier Army.
In contrast to the defenders of Zangdihe City, whose morale suddenly became extremely high, the Song army in the north of the city had a serious face. Even if they did not give orders to the top, they subconsciously moved closer together, trying to steer the formation more steadily and close the formation, and resisted the iron hooves of the Iron Harrier Scouts like a mantis arm.
Only the 1,000 Song army light cavalry arranged in the open east of the battlefield did not gather their formation. Not only that, Wei Ming Dingdong also saw from a distance that the Song army light cavalry, which was about a thousand people, had urgently lit a torch on the formation. Wei Ming Dingdong couldn't help but wonder and said in his heart: "What the hell is Song Manzi? What are the ignitions in broad daylight?"
There was no time to consider this detail, and there was no need to analyze the trivial movements of the Song army. Wei Ming Dingdong just pointed the steel gun in his hand in front and shouted: "From the northeast to the southwest, charge in a diagonal line and attacked the wings of the Song people's siege team!"
The flag was waving. Under the command of Weiming Dingdong's eagle flag, the three thousand iron kites gradually adjusted their direction in the charge, avoiding the front of the Song army's position with heavy infantry protection, and rushed to the Song army's crossbow team that was hiding behind the long shield team to shoot arrows and throw stones. Like a sharp arrow, it rushed down the vast battlefield, and rushed straight towards the northwest corner of the Song army's crossbow team that was so fragile that it was almost worth mentioning.
At this time, an accident happened suddenly. After igniting thousands of torches, the Song army light cavalry, which was about a thousand people, suddenly rode their horses and rushed straight to the flank of the Iron Harrier Scouts who were advancing in a detour!
"The Song people are crazy? They use light cavalry to rush our heavy cavalry? Do they think they have too many cavalry and come to give us heads and horses in vain?!"
After making such a scream in his heart, although he felt that things were strange, Wei Ming Dingdong still did not take such trivial matters to heart, and just continued to yell: "Continue to move forward, the Song Manzi cavalry does not approach us, so I don't have to pay attention to it!"
The Song army's light cavalry did not have the courage to fight close to the Iron Harrier Scouts. With a more powerful maneuvering speed than the Iron Harrier Scouts, they quickly rushed to about twenty steps near the flank of the Iron Harrier Scouts. The Song army's cavalry suddenly stopped their horses and then threw out countless strange pottery bottles with flames. The pottery bottles rolled and hovered in the sky, smashing into the Iron Harrier Scouts crowd one after another, hitting all the Iron Harrier Scout soldiers wearing cold forged steel armor.
The sound of breaking was continuous. After the pottery bottle collided with the steel armor of the Iron Harrier Army, it was undoubtedly broken, and it could not hurt the slightest bit of the Iron Harrier Army soldiers. The armor was so hard that it could not even be cut through the sword and gun, let alone ceramic fragments.
"What the hell is Song Manzi doing? Why are we hitting these bottles with us?"
Wei Ming Dingdong and the Iron Harrier Scouts were all inexplicably, and they didn't understand why the Song cavalry had so much effort and spent so many hands and feet to smash some bottles? However, the Song cavalry was constantly queuing up one after another, and they just smashed fire bottles into the Iron Harrier Scouts' ranks and tried their best to hit the bottles on the Iron Harrier Scouts' soldiers.
"It's a fire!"
A scream finally sounded from the Iron Harrier Army. Many Iron Harrier Scout Warriors who were still inexplicably discovered that the fire-bearing bottles smashed by the Song army and smashed on their armor and immediately sprayed a large piece of thick liquid. They burned when they encountered fire and were extremely burning. Some Iron Harrier Scout Warriors who reacted quickly also reacted immediately and shouted: "There is fierce tincture in the bottle! Song Manzi burned us with fierce tincture!"
"Don't be afraid!" Wei Ming Dingdong yelled, "The turmeric oil will burn out soon and will not hurt us!"
Will it be burned soon? Many Iron Harrier Scout soldiers who were unfortunately hit by the tinder oil bottle soon discovered that the situation was not that simple, and soon discovered that the strange tincture oil in the Song army's bottle was not only burning violently and violently, but also attached to their armor and burning wildly. No matter how they slapped it, it would not be extinguished. The thick tincture oil slowly flowed, and soon filled their armor with flames, and the beards and hairs of many Iron Harrier Scout soldiers also ignited flames.
"This is the demon fire! It cannot be destroyed! It cannot be destroyed!"
Screams and screams finally began to sound in the Iron Harrier Army. Many Iron Harrier soldiers were hit by tincture oil bottles because of their helmets. Their tincture oil was covered with burning raging faces. Soon, they burned these lucky people to burn their skin and smelly flesh. They screamed and were forced to slap their faces violently. However, not only could they not be able to exterminate the flames, but after the tincture oil was glued, a fire quickly ignited on the hands of these lucky people.
"Ah—!Stingy—!Stingy to death—!Cough!Cough!Cough!"
More screams echoed in the Iron Harrier Scouts. The Iron Harrier Soldiers choked by thick smoke and coughed violently. The fire was so fierce that they even began to appear in the battle squads of ten people. The whole team of war horses that caught fire all over the body ran wildly, uncontrollably chasing friendly squads. The Iron Harrier Scouts' famous fish scale formation also appeared in chaos for the first time.
Wow, more tinea oil bottles flew over, and the treacherous and despicable Song army light cavalry did not get close to the Iron Harrier Scouts at all. They just helped each other to ignite the tinea oil bottles in their hands. While maintaining the distance from the Iron Harrier Scouts, they hit the Iron Harrier Scouts as accurately as possible on the heads and faces of the Iron Harrier Scouts. There were also war horses wearing steel armor. More vigorous flames were also ignited in the Iron Harrier Scouts, and more Iron Harrier Scouts warriors also became angry.
"I've fallen into the trap! This is the trick of the Manzi Song! Hurry up! Turn around and kill these barbarian light cavalry first!"
Wei Ming Dingdong yelled wildly, trying to stop the war horses and turn eastward, and attacked the Song army light cavalry who kept throwing strange tincture oil bottles head-on. However, when it was difficult to turn around, Wei Ming Dingdong, who encountered such a strange situation for the first time, suddenly realized that all the iron kites under his command were chained together with five people. Not to mention that they turned east urgently while advancing, it was quite difficult to stop and turn around. Forced to helplessness, Wei Ming Dingdong could only change his mouth and shout, "Hurry, untie the hook rope! Untie the hook rope! Fight alone! Fight alone!"
It was too late to do this. With the continuous throwing of the Song army soldiers, more Iron Harrier warriors caught fire, countless Iron Harrier teams were completely in chaos, rushing among the self-soldiers in groups of five people, not only completely disrupting the formation of the brigade, but also tripping many friendly squads. In a hurry, how could Wei Ming Dingdong's order be transmitted to the position? How could the three thousand Iron Harrier soldiers in a mess be able to untie all the hook ropes so quickly on such a chaotic battlefield? The air was filled with the smell of human flesh and hair, the screams and crying of the Iron Harrier soldiers, and the neighing sounds of the fire-like war horses, which completely filled the entire battlefield.
Seeing this scene, the Song army soldiers lined up in the distance were of course cheering and jumping, but the Xixia defenders on Zangdihe City were in a big uproar, with unbelievable roars and morale suddenly fell to the bottom of the valley. "The Song people will use demonic magic! The Song people use demonic magic to burn our iron kite soldiers!"
"Hahahahaha! Iron Harrier, are you still crazy? Are you still crazy? Are you still crazy?!"
Liu Zhongwu and other Song generals laughed wildly in the Song army flag formation, but the soldiers of the Iron Harrier Army cried and screamed in the sea of fireworks, and completely fell into a complete chaos. Many Iron Harrier teams that were not on fire had escaped from the brigade in a panic, fearing that they would be hit by the tincture of oil bottles of the Song army's light cavalry. They also collapsed and defeated in front of the Song army for the first time since the army was formed in nearly a hundred years.
That's not all. After taking the risk of approaching the already completely chaotic Iron Harrier Soldiers, some Song soldiers tried their best to target Wei Ming Dingdong's command eagle flag and threw the molten bottle. As a result, they didn't know which lucky one had gone for the fortune and threw the turtle oil bottle. They just hit Wei Ming Dingdong's steel helmet. After the primitive cocktail molten bottle broke, the turtle oil that dissolved the brown sugar and became extremely sticky immediately splashed all over Wei Ming Dingdong's face and half of his body. The flames followed and quickly covered Wei Ming Dingdong's face and half of his body.
No one could resist such a flame. While the storm of tinder mixed with brown sugar was burning, Wei Ming Dingdong's beard, hair, and even eyelashes burned together, making a disgusting and pungent smell. Wei Ming Dingdong also made a scream like a beast in his mouth. While slapping his face for fear of his life, he shouted wildly, "Hurry! Save me! Save me!"
No one can stop the flames that cannot even be extinguished. No matter how hard the personal soldiers slapped them, they even took out their drinking water and poured them on Wei Ming Dingdong's face. The flames were still burning on Wei Ming Dingdong's face, forcing Wei Ming Dingdong to take off his helmet with his hands that had already caught fire. However, this only delayed the time when Wei Ming Dingdong was approaching the end of his life. The raging fire was still burning on his face, and Wei Ming Dingdong's screams became more and more shrill, weaker, and finally completely disappeared.
At this time, the Iron Harrier Squad and scattered individual soldiers who had caught fire had already been running around the battlefield. However, the despicable and shameless Song light cavalry still refused to give up. While boldly chasing the heavy cavalry with light cavalry, they hit the moor bottle as accurately as possible on the body and war horses of the Iron Harrier Soldiers who had not caught fire. As more fires ignited, the voices of the Iron Harrier Soldiers resounded even more.
"Help--" Amid the screams, teams of iron kites galloped on the battlefield with flames all over their bodies, like groups of flies without heads. Among them, the iron kites without fire were better, so they could quickly slap their horses and run away from their homes. The iron kites soldiers who had already caught fire were screaming and cried endlessly, and were fixed on the horse and could not get off their horses and unarmed. They could only cry while being burned to charred by the fire.
"——!" The Iron Harrier Scouts' horses that caught fire kept rising up, overturning the Iron Harrier soldiers on the horse, dragging the Iron Harrier that also caught fire all over the body to run around the battlefield, overturning the comrades and knocking their companions down, falling to the ground and overturning them. The screams of the soldiers, the crying and the neighing of the war horses gathered into a stream, so they soared into the sky, and the sounds spread for several miles.
Even so, the damn Song army light cavalry still refused to give up, and were still taking advantage of their light-mounted maneuvering advantage to chase the Iron Harrier soldiers who had not caught fire. They tried hard to smash the monetary bottle whenever they had the chance. Basically, as long as they hit, they could sentence the poor Iron Harrier soldiers to death.
At this time, seeing that the victory of the Song army was decided, Liu Zhongwu did not hesitate anymore, and immediately called out the banner and ordered the remaining two thousand Song cavalry under his command to charge forward, shouting and killing the defeated Tiejiao Army, and doing his best to expand the results of the battle. Then Liu Zhongwu pointed at Zangdihe City in front of him with a sword and shouted: "Beat the drum and continue to attack the city! Today, I will not stop the army if I do not break the thief city!"
Chapter completed!
