The Song Dynasty on the Sand Table

Chapter 172 You Promised Not to Run Away
With these five teams at the forefront of the battle, the Khitan army seemed a bit weak. Several people died in the immediate battle. The people who came to replace them suddenly became timid. After thinking for a long time, they couldn't hurt the Qi family army at all. Instead, several more people died...

The person who was supposed to fill in the position behind started to hesitate and was a little reluctant to push forward.

As a result, the front of the army formation was no longer a straight line, but a subtle wave shape.

The front was unstable and the sides were also affected. The morale of the entire first row of the Khitan army was also frustrated.

In this way, the real-life rebel soldiers will be able to fight more confidently.

That's how fighting works: if you're timid, your opponent will be strong; if you're strong, your opponent will be timid. If you don't fear being stabbed and move forward bravely, your opponent will be forced to retreat.

The entire Khitan and Tieli army formations were subtly suppressed.

Once the main force of the rebel army gained the upper hand, the morale of the archers, household soldiers, and militiamen behind them soared.

The biggest characteristic of a ragtag army is that they "can only fight when the wind is in their favor." They collapse instantly when the wind is against them, but when the wind is in their favor, they scream and howl, showing their "manly spirit."

Seeing that the rebel army was so strong, the ragtag army knew that they had held on to a strong thigh. Their morale soared, and in an instant the entire power meter was filled up, and the power meter even flashed red.

The Jiaoshui County Lieutenant shouted, "Archers, protect your homes. Kill!"

The glue archers had also been practicing the Mandarin Duck Formation with the rebels for the past few days. Although they weren't proficient enough, they were able to use it. The equipment they held was the same as when the rebels were first established: doorplates replaced long shields, pot lids replaced rattan shields, brooms replaced wolf whisks, and pitchforks replaced hammers...

He rushed forward with a roar and actually defeated the Tieli people on the opposite side.

Ma Congyi did not participate in the battle this time. After all, he was too young. The elders would not let a six-year-old go to the battlefield. So it was Ma Sheng from Laiyang who led the troops out of the city. He held a large flag in his hand and waved it forward: "Men of the Ma family, charge!"

Several young nephews and nieces of the Ma family, all wearing newly made armor, led a team of servants and retainers, and imitated the rebels in forming the Mandarin Duck Formation. At this time, they were also bravely moving forward.

They were facing the Tieli people head-on. After just a few steps, they ran into the Tieli general Lu Yuantiao.

In those days, when the Song army fought, only a very few generals would personally charge to the front line, but the Tieli people were still very ancient and traditional, and the generals would always lead the troops. Lu Tiaoyuan actually held a flagpole and stood at the front of the team.

A nephew of the Ma family led his troops and rushed forward, shouting, "Ma, the descendant of General Fu Bo, Ma Yuan..." Before he could finish his sentence, Lu Yuan jumped and stabbed the young man in the chest with a gun. Fortunately, he was wearing newly made armor. The Ma family was rich, so the nephews and nephews in the family naturally wore the best armor in the village. The gun was blocked by the armor and did not penetrate.

But the immense force sent the Ma family nephew careening backwards, rolling several times as the servants behind him desperately tried to drag him back. When he got to his feet, he felt a dull pain in his chest, as if he had been hit with a hammer.

His expression changed drastically: "If the fake gold thieves are so powerful? What about the real gold thieves?"

The servant quickly whispered, "Young Master, it's true. When the real gold thieves came, we lifted the ban on our firearms. Remember Yu Fanwen, the second in command of the Laiyang bandits? No matter how skilled he is in martial arts, he can be brought down with one musket."

The Ma family nephew then turned from surprise to joy: "That's true."

The servants of the Ma family formed a battle formation against the Tieli people, but they were defeated step by step as soon as they started fighting and were beaten badly.

But before they had time to disperse, more than 5,000 Jiaoshui militiamen behind them rushed towards them with a loud roar.

The militia's combat effectiveness is extremely low. They have no martial arts skills, no physique, no training, and no equipment... but they have the advantage of numbers.

With such a roar and charge, the real gold thieves will definitely not be defeated, but the fake gold thieves will not be able to do so.

The real elite soldiers are never afraid of the enemy's large numbers, but the real elite soldiers will die before they become puppet troops.

Tieli's face turned pale with fear: "There are so many people on the other side."

Panic, panic! Bali Yuanshan looked around and surveyed the battlefield. He saw that the Khitan army was losing ground, and the Tieli people were even more cowardly. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the situation was not right.

He thought that the other party could only rely on the advantage of defending the city to compete with him, but he did not expect that the other party would be no less powerful than him in a battle outside the city.

Not good!
It’s a lot of pressure!
Bali Yuanshan was thinking hard in his mind: The opponent's strange formation is very strong. It made him feel very difficult when the team fought last time. This time, the large army is fighting, and it is still arrogant.

To break this formation, it seems that we have to use heavily armored infantry or heavily armored cavalry. We should not be afraid of their strange forks that disrupt the vision, nor of their elusive spears. The best strategy is to use heavy armor to push forward head-on.

But no matter which country they are from, heavy armored soldiers are the elite among the elite and the aces among aces.

It is impossible for a pseudo-Jin thief like Bali Yuanshan to have heavy armored infantry.

"This is how to do?"

Bali Yuanshan is having a headache...

Suddenly, a drum sounded from the south, and an army, carrying a large flag with the word "Wu" on it, appeared on the south side of the Baliyuanshan army formation.

Wu Jialiang came, with Guan Sheng standing on his left, Yu Fanwen standing on his right, and Wang Hong standing one step behind him.

It turned out that after Wang Hong fled to the south, he immediately turned around and joined Wu Jialiang who was lurking in the south, then joined Wu Jialiang's army and turned back to fight.

The eight hundred men led by Wu Jialiang joined forces with more than two hundred men under Wang Hong, totaling a total of one thousand troops.

Immediately afterwards, a drum sounded from the north, and Wu Zhan arrived, with the Laizhou prefect standing on his left and Li Cui on his right.

The more than 500 people led by Wu Zhan plus the 1,000 people led by Li Cui totaled 1,500.

The three armies of the rebel army gathered together.

The rebels from three directions shouted at the same time: "Die, Baliyuanshan!"

Bali Yuanshan was shocked: "Fuck!"

Only then did he understand that the opponent was trying so hard to release monsters with black helmets and black armor to block his scout circle just to create a three-way double team.

The puppet army was already at a disadvantage, and now the enemy came to reinforce them, and surrounded them from three directions. How could their morale hold up?
The Tieli people were the first to collapse, and with a strange cry, they turned around and ran away.

If you want to escape, you have to escape early. If you wait until the enemy surrounds you from three directions before escaping, won't you be unable to escape? Of course, you have to escape before the enemy surrounds you. This is the best way.

When the Khitans saw that the Tieli people had fled, they realized that they could not be foolish enough to stay here and be surrounded and beaten, so they turned around and ran away.

So, it’s time to show off your Qinggong skills again!

Only by throwing away your weapons and armor can you be as light as a swallow and show off your lightness skills.

Bali Yuanshan: "Fuck!"

He was about to turn and run when he suddenly heard Gong Er Niang holding a metal microphone in the distance, shouting at him: "Bali Yuanshan, you said you wouldn't run away."
