Chapter 1752： Demining

"Two hundred thousand? Haha!" Because Yeluyun of Liao Kingdom was dead, now the army of Liao Kingdom has found a temporary commander. This person is Gu Li, and Gu Li is a brave general. However, there are some inadequacies in the strategy. Of course, he himself would not admit this, so he was somewhat self-conscious.

However, it was precisely because of his bravery and high prestige in the army that he was temporarily appointed as the commander of this Liao army.

Coulee was very happy and excited about this appointment. When he wanted to come, this was an opportunity for him. In the past, although he was also a commander on the battlefield, he was often at most able to command the forward army, the number of commanders. Limited, the commanding talent he had always felt was buried.

But this time, because of Yue Yeluyun's sudden death, he was given such an opportunity. In his opinion, as long as he grasped this time, he would have more opportunities to lead the army alone.

Xixia is obviously a good candidate for opponents. He has no strength. It is better to stand up for himself. Although Xixia also has an army of 200,000 to meet him, but in front of his own army of 600,000, the Xixia army of 200,000 , It's nothing at all.

Gu Li even thought that as long as he led a 100,000 Liao army, he could defeat the opponent. Therefore, he did not put the 200,000 Xixia army in his eyes.

"Yes, Xixia used all the power of the whole country to fight this war." Said the official of the Song Dynasty.

"Then they will wait for the country to be subjugated." Gu Li said: "At this station, I want to destroy his 200,000 troops, and then move straight forward and knock down the entire Xixia. At that time, they Without the protection of the army, what can be used to stop my army?"

"That is, the Liao army is unparalleled in the world, and the little Xixia is naturally not an opponent of the Liao army." The Song Dynasty official said, half sincere and half flattering. The strength of the Xixia army is not as good as the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty fought again. However, the Liao Army, and the Kingdom of Jin has not yet risen, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the strength of the Liao Army.

And because of this, after hearing this, Gu Li didn't feel humble, but looked proud. Indeed, their Liao army has fought all over the world, and they are rare opponents. It is not too much to say that they are unparalleled in the world.

"General Gu Li, there is a mountain road ahead, do you want to arrange for people to go up the mountain to search to prevent the Xixia army from ambushing?" The Song Dynasty official looked at the mountain not far away and said.

"Do you think this general doesn't know what to do? You want to teach it?" Guli said with a suffocation.

"Don't dare, don't dare." The Song Dynasty official said quickly.

Soon, the scout who had been arranged by Coulee to go up the mountain for exploration came back, and no shadow of the Xixia army was found on the mountain.

"Hmph, count those Xixia troops who are acquainted and hide in the city for defense. If you dare to come out, I will kill them all outside." It seems that this news is not beyond Gu Li's expectation. In his opinion, Xixia Army sees it. The 600,000 army on his side was probably scared and stupefied. At this time, he naturally didn't dare to come out, only thinking about relying on the city wall to defend, and if he dared to go out of the city, that would be death.

Seeing that there was no one who found the Xixia Army, the officials of the Song Dynasty were relieved, although he also felt that facing his 600,000 army, the Xixia Army was defeated. It would be better to have a city wall. If you dare to come out If that is the case, I am afraid it is really looking for death.

However, the officials of the Liao State were also afraid that Xixia State’s command was a lunatic, and wanted to beat them in an ambush outside. In that case, although the other party would suffer losses, he would also not feel well here.

But, obviously, the other party didn't have the guts.

What the Song-Liao coalition forces are about to pass is actually a valley between the two mountains. Therefore, if the Xixia Army ambushes on the surrounding two mountains, they can still attack them. Of course, that is not in the Xixia Army. In the case of being discovered, even though Coulee was arrogant, there was still some common sense for An Xie to go up the mountain to search.

There were no people on the mountains on both sides, so the Song and Liao coalition forces could also pass.

Gu Li and the Song Dynasty commander rode in the middle part of the team. Shi Shiran was preparing to pass through this valley. Because they had an absolute advantage, the two of them were still in a good mood.

"bump!"

At this moment, there was a sudden explosion, and the two of them were shocked. Then, before they could ask what happened, the front of the team exploded one after another, and the people in front of the whole team turned their backs on their backs.

"What's the matter? What's ringing?" Gu Li quickly asked.

Soon, Coulee got a report from the front. The people in front of the team didn’t know who stepped on something, and then there was an explosion, and this big explosion also produced a chain reaction, some places that seemed normal. There were explosions, killing and wounding his forward army.

Hearing the report from his subordinates, Gu Li's mind unconsciously thought of the news from the country. Before, the domestic general Yeluzhen led an army of 50,000 to fight against Xixia. As a result, under the city of Xixia, he was also given a firearm. The bombers turned their horses on their backs, and suffered a lot of casualties. Those cavalry teams that were not dead, their horses were also frightened, and directly attacked the formation, causing even greater casualties. The entire formation of the team was also washed away. Stop offensive.

And the explosion that occurred now made him easily think of the previous explosion, and suddenly his heart sank slightly.

However, the sound of the explosion ceased quickly, and dozens of people were killed and injured here. Although it made him feel a little shameful, the casualties of dozens of people did not affect the overall situation at all. For 600,000 people, dozens of people were injured. Casualties, not even a fraction is enough.

For this reason, Gu Li said with a cold snort: "It's just a little trick. It is estimated that Xixia can't use such a powerful firearm."

The officials of the Song Dynasty were constantly wiping the sweat from their foreheads. The explosions just now scared him. Although the Song Dynasty had always had firearms, he really hadn’t heard of it. The power of a firearm can be so great.

However, after hearing what Gu Li said, the officials of the Song Dynasty were relieved. Although the sound of the explosion just now was loud, it was just a few dozen people who died, and it was nothing.

"Go ahead!" Gu Li shouted and ordered the team to move forward. He felt that these things buried by the Xixia Army were just trying to scare them and give them a threat, and the real damage would not be too great.

Then, how long the thought that hadn't been able to coulee hovered in my heart, and there was another explosion in front of him, and this time the explosion was even more loud than before.

Gu Li frowned, and the anger on his face was a bit uncontrollable. Although he had not yet received the report from the front, he already understood what was going on.

Sure enough, the people in front soon came to report that dozens of others were killed. Gu Li looked at the long valley ahead, his face gloomy.

He didn't know how many things that would explode in this section of the road. Before, he thought that there would not be too many things in Xixia Kingdom's hands, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case. The other party may even be here. That stuff is buried in the entire valley. How can they get through? Did it fly over? That is obviously impossible. If you climb the mountain, you will make a big circle. Moreover, no one knows whether the other party will bury that thing on the mountain. After all, the number of scouts is small, so he didn’t step on that thing. It's normal. If their large forces pass by, they might still hit the opponent's plan.

Thinking of this, Gu Li looked at the Song Dynasty official next to him, and already had an idea in his mind.

"Let your people go ahead." Gu Li said to the officials of the Song Dynasty.

"Ah?!" The Song Dynasty official suddenly looked bitter.

If he had been before, he would be happy to be the striker. After all, in that case, it would be easier to gain military exploits by then, even if it is convenient to grab something.

However, he obviously has no such thoughts now. He has the same knowledge as Gu Li, who knows how many firearms people from Xixia Kingdom have buried in the ground. Obviously let them go in the forefront, not let them go. It's going to die.

"Why? Not willing?" Gu Li said with a gloomy expression, and the murderous aura on his body also faintly emerged.

"Don't dare, don't dare, I'll give the order right away." Seeing that Gu Li was getting angry, the officials of the Song Dynasty quickly agreed. They paid a lot of price for the Song Dynasty to quell the war. If you provoke the Liao army and make the other party unhappy and hit them again, then he will be the sinner of the entire Song Dynasty.

Moreover, to leave, the big-head soldiers under him are walking ahead, and they have little to do with him. There is no need for him to use his reputation to bet on this matter.

After the Song Dynasty officials gave the order, they naturally drew a complaint from the soldiers below. Those soldiers were not fools. They naturally knew the dangers of walking ahead at this time, so they didn’t want to go ahead. of.

However, on the one hand it was the command of the boss, and on the other hand it was the eyes of the Liao army. Those soldiers of the Song Dynasty, even if they wanted to oppose it, were of no use.

As a result, those Song dynasty troops could only go ahead unwillingly and regard themselves as human mine detectors.

After that, the whole team continued to move forward without accident. The explosions continued to sound. People who walked in the front died one after another. Often an explosion could cause more than a dozen or dozens of them. The casualties of individual personnel, the Song Dynasty soldiers who walked in the forefront, have always been in fear, and the morale of the entire team is inevitably affected.
