Chapter 707: Battle

readx; King Xi Lao Guning was very surprised to find that Yang Lie's department, which was originally in the head of the Li family's army, actually temporarily withdrew the defensive line, left the main position, and turned around and moved to the flank. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lao Guning touched his chin, his eyes rolled slightly, and he immediately realized that Li Zhongyi suddenly changed his formation before the battle, and he must have encountered a big trouble that could not be solved.

After pondering further, Lao Guning dared to pat his chest and say, it must be Yelu Huge's reinforcements that have arrived!

Lao Guning didn't need to think about it at all, since Brother Yelu Xiu had already come, how could the southern barbarians who were attacked by the enemy on their backs be undefeated?

"Guys, who would like to be the first to fight?" Lao Guning's heart was very hot, but he still wanted other tribes to die first, and then he would come down the mountain to pick peaches.

The tribal patriarchs and jiedu envoys present, although they did not know a few big characters, they were all clear about the importance of preserving their strength.

Lao Guning waited for a quarter of an hour, but the patriarchs and the envoys of Jiedu were all pretending to be deaf and dumb, as if they had not heard his agitation.

Well, Lao Guning and the patriarchs of these tribes, the envoys of the festival, have dealt with many times, generally speaking, these people are the masters who live a careful life, and they don't see rabbits and don't sprinkle the sea and the green.

Fools know that in the face of the southern barbarians who are ready for battle and have good physical strength, whoever rushes out in the first wave will definitely suffer a relatively large loss!

On the grassland, the competition is whose pasture is big and good, more cattle and sheep, more horses, and most importantly, there must be more elite soldiers!

The law of survival on the prairie determines that even between clans like brothers, as long as the strength of one side declines, it will be coveted and annexed.

On the prairie that only recognizes strength, this has been the case from ancient times to the present, without exception!

Lao Guning didn't wait for the response of the patriarchs, he had to cough dryly, raise his chin, and order loudly: "Come on, send two thousand-strong teams to rush over head-on, and try the catties and taels of the southern barbarians." ”

With Lao Guning's order, more than 2,000 cavalry rushed out from the ranks of the Xi people.

These cavalrymen galloped wildly, brandished the long knives in their hands, and shouted, "Kill, kill all the southern barbarians......"

Li Zhongyi, who was on the hillside, put down the monocular in his hand and gave a categorical order: "Prepare a five-stage attack, put the Khitan dog closer and shoot again!" ”

"Prepare a five-stage attack, put the Khitan dog closer and shoot again." The herald, who had been following Li Zhongyi's side closely, repeated the military order loudly, and after Li Zhongyi nodded in approval, he held the golden order arrow and turned around and ran to the side of the commander.

"Didi...... Da Da ...... The loud military horn of the "...... sounded a very rhythmic note, which was transmitted from the Chinese army to the forefront.

After Yang Lie led the troops away, Liu Heyang, who replaced him in charge of the forward command, received the military order translated by the herald and immediately made arrangements.

Although Li Jiajun's military regulations are strict, as long as there is a violation of law and discipline, they will be punished accordingly, and no one is an exception, including the women around Li Zhongyi!

However, during the battle, Li Zhongyi gave the commanders of the front line the power to flexibly carry out military orders according to the battlefield situation.

When the two armies face each other, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and unexpected dangers may arise anytime and anywhere.

At this time, even if the military order transmission system of Li Jiajun was far more advanced than any army of the same era, Li Zhongyi's reaction speed was far less clear than that of the commanders near the front line.

Therefore, based on the needs of actual combat, Li Zhongyi gave front-line commanders such as Yang Lie, Liu Heyang, and Liao Shanhe the privilege of handling military situations on the spot.

This so-called: will be on the front line, and the handsome life will not be affected!

The Khitans were very good at cavalry combat, and because the two armies were about two miles apart, although the charging team of more than 2,000 people, shouting and killing and the sound of horses' hooves like thunder, in fact, it was only a lot of noise, but it did not sprint at full speed.

Liu Heyang, in accordance with the standard layout specifications of the infantry against the cavalry charge, ordered people to place the carriage inlaid with steel plates horizontally in the direction of the Khitans rushing over.

"Yo ho...... Kill...... Zaiguang South Barbarian...... ......As the distance between the two armies continued to close, the Khitans suddenly accelerated their charge, as if they were extremely vicious wolves, and fiercely pounced on the defensive line in front of Liu Heyang.

"Stick in the gun, put up the shield!" Liu Heyang did not hesitate to issue a series of military orders, "The first column is fired, and the last nine columns are wound." ”

With the commander's military order issued, the officers and soldiers in the first ten platoons of the Li Jiajun array acted quickly.

The soldiers of the first column unhurriedly wound the crossbow in their hands, and at the same time put the arrows on them, and rested the crossbow arms on the holes left in advance on the wall of the carriage to save precious physical strength.

The soldiers in the back nine columns quickly pulled their bows and wounds, then pursed their lips, silently waiting for the beginning of the brutal battle.

Li Zhongyi, who was located at a high place, could see clearly through the monoculars that the crossbowmen at the forefront were completely ready for battle.

I saw that the soldiers in the first column had already pulled away from Wangshan and aimed at the swarming Khitans with crossbows.

From the second front, the soldiers were lined up in nine neat columns, all of them with their left hands empty, but their right hands were carrying the already wound Divine Arm Crossbows.

Li Zhongyi nodded, revealing a faint smile, after so many years of training and fighting, the Li family army that he personally created and has been commanding, has completely demonstrated a skillful "killing" stunt that is enough to be proud of the world.

As the initiator, Li Zhongyi, he naturally knew very well that the purpose of vacating his left hand was to transfer the empty crossbow that had been fired by Pao Ze in front of him, and then hand over the divine arm crossbow that had been wound in his right hand.

There are many advantages to this arrangement, the core of which is that it avoids the fatal disadvantage of the slow winding of the Divine Arm Crossbow, which leads to a very slow rate of fire despite its great power.

Based on Li Zhongyi's understanding of the Khitans, a cavalry and archery nation, even the marksmen of the ordinary palace division army can pull their bows and release arrows twice in one breath.

On the contrary, although the power of the Divine Arm Crossbow is amazing, with Li Jiajun's training level, even the most qualified veteran can only wind it twice in a minute at most, and the physical exertion is huge.

Therefore, in view of this extremely slow rate of fire, Li Zhongyi came up with an effective countermeasure based on actual combat, that is, the skilled shooters in the front row only aim and shoot, and the auxiliary crossbowmen in the back row are responsible for pulling the bow and winding it and transporting it in time.

In this way, not only the speed of the strike is greatly improved, but also the accuracy of the strike is greatly improved.

"Kill, chop the damned Southern Barbarian...... ......"More than 2,000 cavalry, nearly 10,000 galloping horses' hooves, like a sea of mountains, rushed into the farthest strike range of the Li family's crossbowmen.

The front-line officers in the front row of Li Jiajun issued a short and powerful order in a clear tone, "Everyone calm down, don't panic, wait for the bamboo whistle to sound, and then launch the ......."
