In the face of a stormy bow and crossbow strike, the second wave of Khitan assault forces, the time of casualties, was faster than the first wave.

"This, this, how is this possible?" Xiao Siyuan was dumbfounded, and Xiao Yuangu was stunned.

The formation of the third wave of Khitan cavalry assault had just begun, but it spontaneously pulled the horses.

There is a advantage to take advantage of, even if it is a little more sacrifice, the Shan army can afford the price.

However, two waves in a row, before even the enemy's military formation was touched, they all died finely, and even the stupidest stupid X knew that this was not so much a war as a massacre.

Knowing that he is going to die, who will move forward?

As a result, the proud soldiers of the Shan army lowered their noble heads of contempt for everything, and reined in their horses and slowed down.

Yang Lie put down the monocular in his hand, smiled coldly, and said, "The Khitan people are afraid. ”

"The Khitans are scared!"

"The Khitans are scared!"

"The enemy is afraid!"

The herald had already received Yang Lie's hint and deliberately conveyed this sentence as an order.

For a while, the military formation of the right guard of Yulin was deafening, and cheers were heard one after another!

Many veterans, with tears in their eyes, once upon a time, the good men of the Central Plains could only be bullied and slaughtered by the invincible Khitans.

Who would have thought that today, under the leadership of the marshal, they not only set foot in the hinterland of the Khitan Kingdom, but also won every battle!

"The Prime Minister is mighty!"

"The Prime Minister is mighty!" Many robes wiped the tears from their faces, brandished their bows and crossbows, and their voices were hoarse. Praise Li Zhongyi's great achievements in unison.

Xiao Siyuan has actually seen the flaws of the Southern Barbarians, after all, he is my enemy. He only needs to drive the auxiliaries and shock a few waves last time. I'm afraid the southern barbarians don't even have the strength to hold a knife.

The question is, is it worth it?

What's more, Xiao Siyuan, who is a general, after hearing the cheers of the Southern Barbarians, although he didn't know what they were shouting, he knew very well in his heart: The morale of the Southern Barbarians is like a rainbow!

Fighting against a formidable enemy whose momentum had already prevailed, Xiao Siyuan knew one thing even if he used his toes to think: the losses were likely to be great. He is going to step down!

"Mingjin retreats!" The embarrassment of his subordinates hesitating finally prompted Xiao Siyuan to issue a military order to retreat back to the battalion.

"The Khitans are defeated!"

"The enemy is afraid!"

"Our army has won!"

With the pace of the retreat of the subordinate Shan army, in the military formation of the right guard of Yulin, under the leadership of the officer, everyone raised their arms and shouted together.

Yang Lie silently put the monocular into his pocket, after this battle, the next time Yulin Right Guard faces the Khitans, there will definitely be no fear on the psychological side.

On the premise of confronting the Khitan elite head-on. is no longer afraid of the Khitans, which is one of the main reasons why Li Zhongyi planned such a battle.

After the victory, Yang Lie pretended to be blinded by the sunset when others were not paying attention. Secretly wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

Although the Khitans withdrew, Xiao Siyuan still kept a hand. Yang Lie noticed. Outside the large camp of the Khitans, there was always a cavalry army of about 3,000 people. staring at him with fierce eyes.

Hehe, I'm afraid the Khitans want to take advantage of the time when the army returns to the camp. Caught him off guard, right?

With an army of 5,000 long-fought troops, attacking several times the number of Khitan elite Shan troops, even if Yang Lie is crazy, it is impossible for him to be so stupid.

So, after the Khitans collected their troops, Yang Lie lightly ordered, "Form a battle formation and return to the camp in formation." ”

Facing the army of the Southern Barbarians who turned his back, Xiao Siyuan was difficult to hold back, making people hide the urge to kill the past.

However, the southern barbarians actually maintained a formation of seven people in a row, and retreated in unison to the rhythm of the snare drums.

Doesn't make sense? Xiao Siyuan has never seen this kind of practice, he is a cautious and cautious person, and he has always had a stable mentality for matters that he can't see through.

In Xiao Siyuan's impression, the strict military formation of attacking the Southern Barbarians head-on, as long as the military formation does not disperse, it is actually difficult to contain too much cheapness.

However, as long as you sneak up on the southern barbarians on the march or retreat, hehe, it will be like slaughtering children, and it will be effortless.

In other words, in Xiao Siyuan's inherent impression, it was easy to hunt down the retreating Southern Barbarians.

It's just that Xiao Siyuan is really a little hesitant, in the two waves of assault just now, even if the Khitan warriors are not dead, they are actually not too much.

In just half an hour, the Khitan warriors lost more than 2,000 people, while the losses of the southern barbarians were very small.

Xiao Siyuan thought about it left and right, and was a little hesitant, and then a henchman next to him asked him in a low voice: "It's all detailed, why don't you chase and kill?" ”

"Oh." Xiao Siyuan stomped his feet hard, if he didn't move back to a game today, I am afraid that his prestige in the Shan army would probably plummet.

"Xiao Hu, you personally lead two teams of people, kill them in person, and give it a try." Xiao Siyuan repeatedly advised, "Once you find something wrong, retreat immediately and don't have any delay." ”

After Xiao Hu got the order, he rode to the outside of the village, ordered two teams of about 1,000 people, and chased and killed the past in the direction of the retreat of Yulin's right guard.

Hearing the thunderous hooves behind him, Yang Lie let out a long breath, the Khitan people did not give up, and finally came!

Previously, the distance between the two armies was no more than 700 paces at most, so Yang Lie was in consideration of using troops cautiously, and did not dare to immediately close the formation.

After a long battle, the army continued to draw the bow and crossbow, and the physical strength must have decreased greatly. If there is an enemy attack, once there is a loophole in the unfolded formation, it is likely to cause huge casualties, and the wise man will not do anything!

The lookout officer turned his back and kept holding Yang Lie's monoculars, staring at the attacking Khitans.

"Six hundred steps!"

"Five hundred steps!"

"Four hundred steps!"

"The enemy army has accelerated."

At the moment when the Khitan cavalry accelerated after the official report, Yang Lie gave a military order: "Stop advancing, the whole army will turn around to meet the enemy!" ”

The snare drum suddenly changed its tune, and the bamboo whistle sounded three times in a row. "Click." Between a few breaths, a phalanx of less than five thousand people. They all turned around, facing behind them.

"The front team doesn't move. The rear team approached and spread out in a column of ten. Yang Lie continued to give orders to line up, and the long-tested Yulin Right Guard, under the command of the snare drum, military horn, and military flag, quickly set up a dense military formation of ten people.

"Mingjin Mingjin!" Xiao Siyuan had been staring at the Southern Barbarian's every move, and when he saw that the Southern Barbarian had gathered into a dense military formation in the blink of an eye, he couldn't help but be startled.

However, how can the water that has been spilled out be so easily taken back?

Yang Lie, this bad guy. He endured it until the forward of the Khitan pursuers entered the strike range of the Divine Arm Bow, and then he ordered to turn around.

"Hmph, it's not a good thing to come quickly." Yang Lie leisurely played with the monocular in his hand, and lightly ordered, "The first five rows, five hits; The last five rows. Rest in place. ”

The order to shoot at the right guard of Yulin has always been controlled by two musical instruments, one is a copper whistle and the other is a copper bangzi.

The brass bang struck once. It represents the meaning of a column; The brass whistle sounded once means that the number of firing segments is three. Each long whistle represents an order to strike one more shot.

After countless actual battles. Li Zhongyi's realization of the situation was in the midst of the deafening shouts of killing. A musical instrument with a loud sound is actually much faster and more accurate than passing on orders from the cavalry!

When the two armies are in battle, it is not only necessary for the generals to be good at fighting and strict military discipline, but also to command the middle and lower-level officer corps in battle.

War is actually a science, which needs to be constantly summed up and studied.

After the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the North China Japanese Army inflicted unprecedented huge losses on the liberated areas, which was actually the result of the Japanese Army summing up the operational characteristics of the Eighth Route Army and formulating correct cage tactics.

Subsequently, the Eighth Route Army, by summing up lessons and lessons, adopted the operational policy of adapting measures to local conditions, and developed special means such as "mine warfare," "tunnel warfare," and "railway warfare," and a large number of sharp-knife units emerged, which was a great headache for the Japanese army.

This is a typical example of learning war in war!

The secret level of the bow and crossbow shot made the Khitan elite Shan army, who rushed to the forefront and was ready to pick up the leak, suffer enough.

The strong bow and crossbow flying diagonally, as if splashing water, pierced into the Khitan horse formation, and where the bow and crossbow fell, countless blood flowers were splashed and countless lives were taken away.

Fortunately, Xiao Siyuan reacted very quickly and ordered someone to call out the gold in time, otherwise, most of the thousands of truly elite cavalry brought out by Xiao Hu would probably not be able to come back alive.

After this battle, Xiao Siyuan single-mindedly raised the wall, dug a deep ditch, and no longer dared to attack.

At this time, Li Zhongyi had already led the main force to quietly land from the east of Yingzhou, close to Yuguan.

To the east of Yuguan, the Khitan generals who moved and ran Erzhou had suffered enough from the Great Zhou Water Division and knew that it was powerful.

However, due to Li Zhongyi's mountain closure action, the information of the Khitan on both sides of Yuguan was completely blocked.

Therefore, Li Zhongyi has reason to believe that the news of the great Zhou Shui Shi should not have reached Xiao Siyuan's ears.

Taking a step back, if Xiao Siyuan knew the news, I am afraid that it would be difficult to make up his mind for a while and retreat immediately.

Time, what Li Zhongyi needs most now is time, even if Xiao Siyuan only delays for one night, Li's chances of winning will be several times greater.

That night, the Khitan people lit torches and worked all night, and before Dazhai, they dug a trench eight feet wide and one zhang deep.

That's it, in view of the need to set fire to the attack, Xiao Siyuan ordered people to smear the wet mud on the wall.

Before dark on the second day, Xiao Siyuan suddenly received a report from the spies that behind their big village, the main force of the Southern Barbarians appeared.

Xiao Siyuan was immediately taken aback, and most of the wine in the wine bowl was spilled.

"Impossible. How is this possible? Could it be that the Southern Barbarians can fly? Xiao Siyuan actually lost his temper in public.

A mere 5,000 southern barbarians have already caused heavy casualties to the warriors of the Great Khitan Kingdom.

If Dazhai is outflanked by the Southern Barbarians and attacked from both sides, Xiao Siyuan thinks of this, and the whole person will immediately feel bad! (To be continued......)

PS: There is one more more, make up for the arrears in front!
