During the attack, the whole army pressed up, almost into the city, the two sides were entangled with each other and could not be separated, at this time if you want to retreat, how can it be so easy.

With Shi Yi's order, the four gates of Hejian City were opened, and all the Lu Long troops chased them out, biting the Cheng German army to the death. Don't give them a chance to get rid of easily. It will not give them a chance to line up against the cavalry.

This made Li Che have to let himself be the last reserve of 5,000 soldiers to turn around and intercept the Khitan cavalry that attacked like a raging wave. The infantry team of thousands of people needs to turn around and line up, which is an easy thing to do? Before they could form a tight formation, the archers were not fully seated at all, and the long-range attacking feathered arrows shot into the sky sparsely, which was a tickle for the cavalry rushing all over the mountains.

In an instant, the formation of the 5,000 soldiers was chaotic and cut by the cavalry, and it became a situation where it was difficult to take care of each other and fight separately. When the cavalry and the war horses are strongly crushed, the infantry will not only kill the enemy, but it will be difficult to intercept it even slightly.

The only way for infantry to deal with cavalry was to form a tight formation, first with bows and crossbows to kill the enemy, then rely on shields, spears and flesh to slow down the enemy's attack, and finally entangle with the cavalry that has lost its speed.

But now, the German army can't do even any of it.

Seeing that the intercepted 5,000 soldiers were almost collapsed in the blink of an eye, Li Che's eyes suddenly reddened, if the cavalry was allowed to kill him, today's Chengde army would be doomed to the end of the entire army.

"Order, Wang Mingren, Li Bo gathered all the armor soldiers to resist Shi Yi after the break. Cover the soldiers of the government and retreat into the camp first." Li Che roared loudly, the drummers around him waved their drumsticks, beat the drums desperately, and the flag bearers desperately danced flags of different colors to convey the order.

"All cavalry, follow me!" Seeing that the military flags of Wang Mingren and Li Bo stopped retreating, and a group of armor soldiers began to assemble around them, Li Che raised his horse lance high and shouted loudly.

Five hundred cavalry shouted in unison, and with Li Che rushed towards the Khitan cavalry in the distance.

As in the usual training, Li Che was the sharp arrow, and the five hundred cavalry formed a cone-shaped shock formation, and without hesitation, they faced the Khitan cavalry ten times their size.

Although the Tang Dynasty has reached the most decaying time at this time, this does not mean that the Jiedu envoys who hold the military power are also weak, nor does it mean that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are weak, on the contrary, when the Jiedu envoys are in their own way, these soldiers who are still Tang soldiers in name are quite strong.

This has a certain similarity with the end of the Han Dynasty, later historians concluded that all dynasties died because of weakness, but the Han Empire died because of strength, even in the era of the complete destruction of the Han Dynasty, those Han troops guarding the frontier can still wantonly beat the surrounding aliens.

The Han Dynasty was not destroyed at the hands of foreign enemies, he was consumed to death by his own people.

The current Tang Dynasty is roughly going through such a stage, the central empire is weak, but these festival envoys are strong one by one. Like Zhang Zhongwu, after beating the Khitan and couldn't find his teeth, he turned around and watched the supreme chair in Chang'an City.

Chinese civilization, as long as there is no internal chaos, no fratricidal fighting, but unanimous external words, they can always sweep the eight wildernesses. Just like now, although Li Che only has 500 cavalry, he still has the courage to launch a reverse charge in the face of 5,000 Khitan soldiers, which is a kind of arrogance rooted in the bones of the Tang people. Datang's foreign wars have few defeats, and even if they don't achieve their goals for the time being, they will try their best to regather their forces to retaliate. Just like the early expedition to Goguryeo in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, attacking in April and returning in October, the Tang army pulled out ten cities in half a year, relocated 70,000 residents of Goguryeo, beheaded 40,000 enemy troops, and the Tang army died no more than 2,000 people. Although it was later forced to retreat under the desperate resistance of Goguryeo and due to weather and supply reasons, on the whole, it was a great tactical victory and a strategic war, and Goguryeo was also destroyed by the Tang Dynasty general Xu Shiji twenty years later, and the northeast corner finally returned to China.

At this time, the foreigners had a sense of fear for the Tang Dynasty army in their bones. That is, now the Khitans, as Zhang Zhongwu's mercenaries, have the courage to attack so many Tang troops.

In fact, in their eyes, no matter which festival envoy it is, the army under their command is the Tang Army.

Li Che's 500 cavalry rushed into the Khitan cavalry, like a red-hot tongs inserted into the tofu, like a bamboo. They killed horizontally in the direction of the Khitan rush, and forcibly created a space so that the soldiers who were divided and surrounded by the Khitan cavalry had to retreat.

Again and again, there were more and more Khitan cavalry under the knife of these five hundred cavalry, but there were also more and more troops who fell off their horses, when Li Che completed such a cross-section attack for the third time, behind him, there were less than two hundred cavalry, and the Khitan cavalry that fell under the blade of him and his subordinates had already exceeded five hundred. And the thousands of Khitan cavalry were so frightened by this cavalry team of hundreds that when they saw them rushing towards them, they immediately scattered and avoided.

This made Shi Yi, who led the crowd out of the city to fight, angry.

"Come on, go and tell Yeluqi that if he can't complete the task of the commander, he will wait to lose his head!" Shi Yi summoned his own guards and roared angrily.

In Shi Yi's eyes, these Khitans are just a knife in the hands of the handsome, if this knife is not sharp enough, then there is no need for him to exist. Dashuai has room to choose a good knife again.

Yeluqi, the leader of the Khitan Siwandan Department, after hearing the words of Shi Yi's personal guards, did not feel the slightest humiliation, but trembled for a while, over the years, Zhang Zhongwu's Lu Longjun gave them too many painful memories, how many tribes, just because of disrespect to them or even because of an inconspicuous trivial matter, they were wiped out by the whole clan, such things abound, so that the current Khitan tribe in front of Zhang Zhongwu dare not breathe.

Shi Yi is a general under Zhang Zhongwu, and his personal guards have learned Shi Yi's angry tone and angry appearance to the fullest, even if it is just a personal guard in front of Shi Yi, he is like a proud prince in front of Yeluqi.

"Please report back to General Shi, Yeluqi will not let him down." He respectfully arched his hand at the personal soldier, and after watching the personal guard snort from his nostrils and turn away, he turned around, lifted the whip and whipped the general next to him indiscriminately, "Didn't you hear General Shi's words, if you can't complete the military order, everyone won't survive. Blow the trumpet, attack."

The sound of the horn sounded in all corners of the battlefield, and when he heard the sound of the horn with a very different sound, the Khitan cavalry who was still evading just now suddenly seemed to be a different person, even if only three or five people gathered together, they dared to launch a desperate attack on Li Che.

Because the order given by the horn just now is an order that will lose its head if it is not completed, and there is no return to the order.

Li Che was immediately under unprecedented pressure.

"Major General, let's go, if you don't leave, it'll be too late." Seeing the Khitan cavalry rushing from all directions, Li Che's personal guards shouted loudly.

"There are still so many government soldiers who have not withdrawn to the camp."

"If you don't leave, the young general won't be able to leave, and no matter how many government soldiers there are, it's not as important as the young general. Everyone, listen to my orders, protect the major general, and retreat in the direction of the big battalion." The guards grabbed Li Che's reins and pulled the war horse back.

Li Che looked at the remaining half of the soldiers on the battlefield, closed his eyes in pain, lifted the blood-stained horse lance, and rushed towards the direction of the camp.

In front of him, another group of Khitan cavalry came to cover it.

Li Che roared loudly, the horse lance stabbed rapidly, when the chest stabbed the front person off the horse, the lance shook, bounced the enemy's corpse, the horse lance swept, the plot on the head of the lance cut through the throat of the side one, and the horse lance Taishan who came back after half a circle pressed the top, and the lance hit the other enemy's heavenly spirit cover, and the opponent's head was directly pressed back into the neck cavity.

Li Che finally withdrew to the camp, but of the five hundred cavalry he had carefully trained for many years, less than a hundred of them could follow him back. But they still relied on their own strength to cover the withdrawal of thousands of soldiers to the camp. On the other side, Wang Mingren and Li Bo also gathered all the armor soldiers to block Shi Yi's counterattack, covering about 5,000 soldiers who also withdrew to the camp, but the rest were left outside the camp and became the prey of the Lu Long army and the Khitan soldiers.

The interval between victory and defeat is only about an hour. When the fence of the large camp was closed and the archers were guarding the fence, the Cheng German army could only be inside the large camp, sadly watching their companions being slaughtered by the enemy outside the main camp, and falling to their knees in groups and surrendering to the enemy.

Li Che's eyes were blood-red, and he fell to the ground on one knee and punched the ground hard.

"Wang Feng, you are a son of a bitch, Li Che can get rid of today's difficulties, and you will be crushed and scattered one day."

The Khitan cavalry can suddenly attack from the direction of Gaoyang, and there is only one reason, that is, Zhenwu Jiedu made Wang Feng have a big problem, either Wang Feng defected to the enemy, or he was defeated by the enemy, and the former reason is obviously more convincing.

Beside him, the bloodstained Wang Mingren and Li Bo both had extremely ugly faces.

In this battle, they lost miserably.

Of the 4,000 armor soldiers, less than half of them could withdraw to the main camp, 30,000 government soldiers, about 10,000 who returned to the main camp, and among them, there were thousands of wounded soldiers who were withdrawn first after being wounded in battle.

The army has lost half of Lin, and strictly speaking, this army has lost the ability to continue fighting.
