Chapter 536: A Fragile Barrier
Flying Fox City is located on the Flying Fox Ridge, named because of the high danger of the strange horse, this city only has two city gates in the north and south, the left and right sides are protected by mountains, which reduces the pressure of being attacked, and the defensive force required by the city gates on all sides is of course much greater than that of the two city gates.
The Liao army has been on the city wall ready to go, oil, lead water, rolling stones, sassal wood, arrows, etc., and the Central Plains Dynasty for many years, the Liao Dynasty has a fairly complete city defense tools, even the listening urn to stop the enemy digging tunnels are buried deep underground.
All this is done under the control of Yelu Zongxin, Yelu Ying is a very smart person, his knowledge and good use of people let him save a lot of trouble, Ye Lu Ying is good at leading the cavalry to run around, and Ye Lu Zongxin, who is familiar with the Han family military book, is good at fortifying the city, so Ye Lu Zong really sent him to the flying fox to cooperate with Ye Lu Ying, this is the wisdom of the Liao Dynasty.
There are already 5,000 people stationed on the city wall, and these 5,000 people are enough to defend the Flying Fox City that is not fighting, if there are more people, the city wall will not be able to let go and it will not be able to be used. After all, it was impossible for the army of the Great Song Dynasty to attack the city with 100,000 troops.
Zhao Zhen, who was located under the city, looked at the decent defense of Flying Fox City and nodded slightly: "There must be a general in this city who is familiar with the Han family's military books, otherwise there will be no such old-fashioned defensive posture." ”
Di Qing's eyes scanned the battlefield on the city wall and in front of the city wall, and came to the same conclusion as Zhao Zhen: "Guanjia Shengming, the defense and troop arrangements of this city are in a corner, and the biggest difficulty in this city is the protruding horse face wall, the city gate and the horse face wall are very close to each other, if you support each other, the city gate is afraid that you can't go down in one drum......
After Di Qing's words were finished, Zhao Zhen, Cao Wei, Xia Zhu and the others rolled their eyes in unison, listening to what he said...... I'm afraid you can't go down with one drum, are you Di Qing still going to go down such a fortified city with one drum?!
Cao Wei said dissatisfiedly: "It's good for young people to have momentum, but don't underestimate the opponent, although the Liao people have not fought for many years, there are also some rising stars, as far as the old man knows, the son of Han Derang, a famous general of the Liao Dynasty, is one of them, this person can be literate and martial, familiar with military books, can be called a young talent, and was given the name Yelu Zongxin by the Liao Emperor." ”
Knowing that he is invincible, Cao Wei has obviously done a lot of investigations, but Di Qing is not bad, he nodded slightly when he mentioned Yelu Zongxin: "Maybe this person is in the city, otherwise such an old way of arming defenses will not come from the hands of others, and the end will inevitably meet him!" ”
However, Di Qing's preemptive plan had not yet been implemented, so the Liao people first couldn't bear it and tested the reality of the Great Song Dynasty with 3,000 tigers and leopards, which was a common strategy on the battlefield and the best way to test the enemy's combat strength.
The cavalry sent must be the most elite team of their own side, so that they can be measured and compared, Di Qing is already a senior general of the Great Song Dynasty, since he will not do anything to lead the charge, he calmly issued a military order, and the unique whistle of the Great Song Dynasty sounded, with a peculiar rhythm spread in the army.
The front foot soldiers of the great army are separated like a tide, and they are as if they have been rehearsed countless times to form a straight passage, which the soldiers have practiced after countless painful lessons, as long as you are not in order, you will be carried by the speeding cavalry, and you will be killed and wounded......
Yeluying and Yelu Zongxin on the city wall looked at the military formation that was straight as a ruler and took a deep breath of cold air, they had always heard that the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were well-trained and uniform, even when they arrived at the chaotic battlefield, the military formation was still as neat as an arm and a finger, and now it seems to be true!
The two of them were shocked from each other's eyes, Ye Lu Ying was a little better, in his opinion, such an army was just advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, but Ye Lu Zongxin, who was familiar with the Han family's military books, was shocked and his scalp was numb, and when he saw his appearance, Ye Lu Ying said: "Could it be that the Song people are so exquisite?" ”
Yelu Zongxin smiled bitterly: "No matter what the last general says, it is not enough to show, the general takes a closer look, I am afraid that the three thousand tigers and leopards we sent will not return!" Hurry up and send the servants out of the west gate, be sure to spread it out before the Song people come to their senses......"
When Ye Luying was about to refute, he spoke, and what he saw condescendingly was that in the separate armies of the Great Song Dynasty, a group of cavalry with red helmets on their heads and black armor appeared, and the war horses of the Great Song cavalry were also black, needless to say, the horses must have been covered with horse armor.
The combination of red and black gives this army a huge visual impact, when the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty rushed out of the military formation, it immediately changed from a long line to a cone-shaped offensive formation, the red and black iron flow rushed towards the knights of the Liao army, the momentum of the heavy armored cavalry was like a landslide and tsunami, the earth was trembling, even Yeluying and Yelu Zongxin, who were on the city wall, could feel the hands holding the city wall slightly numb.
The charge of the heavy cavalry is basically not something that can be stopped by manpower, and the characteristics of the Arabian war horse are that the faster it bubbles, the faster it is, and in the end, even the knights on the horse cannot control the heavily armored war horse.
Yelu Zongxin's face turned pale as he watched the devil-like heavy cavalry mounted on the elite of the Liao Dynasty, and after a moment of silence, there was a tooth-aching sound of shattering......
Like a knife cutting tofu, the heavy cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty separated the cavalry of the Liao Dynasty, and the spear of the first cavalry pierced through the enemy and then let go, pulling the spear out of the enemy's junior and piercing into the body of the second enemy, all of which happened between the calcium carbide fire.
The spear is only a part of the cavalry's weapons, and even carries a long knife of nearly one meter and a half, which is improved from the Mo knife, which can chop and cut, stab and pick, but the weight and length are much lighter, so as to adapt to cavalry combat.
With the help of the power of the war horse, the black-armored knight tightened his saddle with his legs and pedaled the horse pedals after rushing into the enemy formation, and used his waist force as an aid to cut off the enemy's head with a knife, and the speed was so fast that he harvested his life even before the Liao people could sense it......
For the Liao people, this is a post-apocalyptic disaster, and the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty seems to be a devil who came out of purgatory, at this time they have no emotion in their eyes, they are cold like dead people, and they are harvesting the lives of the Liao cavalry with swords in their hands.
The Liao people are skilled in kung fu on the horse, but the Song people will slaughter their war horses first even if they can't kill the Liao people immediately, the long knife is sharp and accurate through the neck of the horse, and the long blood groove on the knife can release the horse's blood as quickly as possible, and the horse falls to the ground weakly, and the Liao people have become lambs to be slaughtered......
The slaughter that seems to have been going on for a long time is actually only a short meal, don't look at this short meal, Da Song has worked hard for three or even five years for this!
During this time, the Liao cavalry did not make any progress, and the court of the Liao people was busy with the chaos of the demon queen Xiao Yunjin and did not develop their own military at all, giving the Great Song Dynasty valuable time.
