Chapter 611: A Battle to the Death

The Khitans had already raised their speed to the extreme, and they obviously couldn't turn around anymore, so they could only pounce on Li Zhongyi's tooth barracks with all their might.

Li Zhongyi smiled coldly and gave a decisive order: "The crossbowmen come forward, prepare for three shots, and the grenadiers prepare." ”

The crisp copper whistle of "Didi Di ......" resounded in the sky above the entire Ya barracks, and the crossbowmen of the Li Jiajun marched quickly past the spear array of the infantry army under the command of the grassroots officers, and lined up neatly behind the door flag.

The grenadiers are the latest branch of Li Zhongyi's command, and their main attack weapon is the "cocktail" used to burn tanks when Lao Maozi fought street battles with the Germans.

Different from Lao Maozi's hand-thrown "cocktail", Li Zhongyi ordered craftsmen to design and manufacture bamboo throwing tools, because the clay pot is very thin and light, the distance thrown out is actually not short, about 30 zhang (about 100 meters).

At this time, the first wave of the Khitans' attack had already swooped down to a distance of less than thirty zhang in front of the Li family's army.

Li Zhongyi held a telescope in his hand, and saw the movements of the Khitans clearly, and he immediately ordered: "After the enemy army enters the twenty zhang, three rounds and three stages of attack." ”

"Whoa." The herald recited Li Zhongyi's military order aloud, and after receiving approval, he immediately blew the copper trumpet that had been in his mouth, "Didi Di ......"

At the time of the military order, the officers at the grassroots level immediately took action, shouted to their subordinates in a deep voice, lined up in formation, lightly controlled the steel strings, and prepared to shoot anytime and anywhere.

At this time, Yeluao had already seen the soldiers in the front row of the Li family's army, and he fled without an army, and he was overjoyed at first, full of disdain. Immediately overflow the atrium.

However, after rushing forward thirty feet. Yelu Ao suddenly woke up: Yelu Xiuge had repeatedly mentioned these high-ranking generals, among the Southern Barbarian Zhou army. The soldiers and horses under Li Zhongyi's command are the most vicious.

"Stop, stop......" After Yeluao came to his senses, he hurriedly ordered to stop the charge, but unfortunately, it was too late.

Although the elite palace division army of the Khitan people is well-trained and brave in battle on weekdays, they still inherit the loose characteristics of the grassland people.

This characteristic is that when fighting in the steppe, they are cavalry of each other. When bravely hedged, even if the speed of command and dispatch is a little slow,; With the bravery of the knights, it didn't hurt much.

However, in the face of the Li Jiabu military formation, which was waiting for the battle, the Khitans rushed directly over like this, which seemed very reckless!

The first wave of attacks of the "boom, boom, boom, ......boom" Khitan iron cavalry has been in full swing, and the first row of Li Jiajun soldiers behind the door flag. You can already clearly see the variegated mane of the war horse under the crotch of the Khitans.

"No one is allowed to act rashly, everything is at the behest of the village marshal." The well-trained grassroots officer corps reminded their subordinates in a deep voice. The military order is not a joke, and Li Dashuai, who leads everyone to be invincible, is definitely worth exchanging his life.

The enemy is close at hand, but. There was still no order to shoot from the Chinese side.

At this critical moment, he hid on the side of the Ruan. But I clearly saw that Li Jiajun's sons and daughters looked very relaxed. It was as if it was just a pack of wild dogs that had lost their fangs and claws, and there was no threat as if they were about to rush under the tip of their noses.

The enemy is nearer, closer, but the military order to counterattack has never been issued, and the soldiers of the Li family army are still immovable, but they can make the cold bystander Zhe Congruan anxious.

Zhecong Ruan Gang raised his right leg, intending to run over to find Li Zhongyi's theory, but at this moment, the Chinese army came from a clear golden whistle very timely, "dripping ......" three long and two short.

"Listen to my command, three rounds of three strikes, prepare, release!" The officers commanding at the front gave orders to open their bows and crossbows and release arrows.

"Whoosh...... In the blink of an eye, the first round of crossbows rose into the air, and the originally gray sky suddenly became pitch black.

Immediately afterward, in the Khitan charging ranks, there were screams, wails, and neighing of fallen horses.

With the continuous sound of bowstrings, Zhe Congruan's eyes widened, and after a closer look, the good guys, the Khitan people who rushed to the front, as if they had been bitten by someone hard, were a big cut short.

The buzzing continued, and the steel arrows that were pulled up, like endless thunderstorms, smashed viciously into the Khitan cavalry array, cutting it off several thick layers out of thin air.

In front of Li Jiajun's formation, within fifty zhang, there were piles of corpses of people and horses, and there were countless injured horses who fell to the ground and neighed.

"The front team retreats to rest, and the back team is on top." After three rounds of three-stage strikes, the soldiers of the Li family army in the first three rows were slightly less sharp, and the officers at the grassroots level issued a timely military order to temporarily retreat and rest.

After the soldiers in the back row took up, they did not immediately launch another round of arrow rain attacks, and were ready to attack in order to save their physical strength.

Yeluao found that the offensive ahead suddenly stopped, and the vanguard cavalry of the Khitan Kingdom turned around and fled, and couldn't help but sink his heart violently, not good, bad thing!

Without waiting for Yeluao to judge the situation ahead, Yang Lie and Liao Shanhe seized the fighter in time and strictly ordered their subordinates to stride forward, striving to shrink the encirclement as soon as possible.

Through the herald's relay, Li Zhongyi learned about the movements of Yang Lie and Liao Shanhebu, and he couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Pass the order, stride forward, and maintain a line with friendly forces." Li Zhongyi decisively made the decision to cooperate with Yang Lie and Liao Shanhe.

The sound of the copper horn of "Dididi......" sounded one after another, and the officers and men of the Li family army strode forward, gradually tightening the encirclement.

Yeluao realized that the situation was not good, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't retreat, don't retreat, don't retreat, those who take half a step back will be killed." ”

It's a pity that the defeated army didn't have time to pay attention to their commander's orders, and they rushed to the rear.

If the rout army is allowed to rush back, the consequences will be unimaginable, but Yelu Ao hesitated, once the military order to slaughter his own people was issued, even if he escaped from the encirclement, he was afraid that he would not be able to avoid the cold arrows in the back of the families of the deceased.

At the moment when Yelu Ao hesitated, the Khitan elite palace army, which had been overwhelmed by the super bravery, could no longer support it because they were caught in the blow of the enemy on their abdomen and back, and they also turned around.

Quite Chaoyong, who had been holding on to the death, found that the enemy had fled, and couldn't help laughing a few times, and shouted excitedly: "Sons, the Khitan Tartars are defeated, the Khitan Tartars are defeated, let me kill him without leaving a piece of armor ......"

In good times, the Khitan people can be said to be the first, but they are afraid of falling behind. However, as soon as the situation is unfavorable, the characteristics of the steppe peoples who are not disciplined are immediately exposed.

The vanguard was defeated, and the left flank that restrained the party members was also defeated in an instant, and Yelu was so arrogant that his nose was crooked, and he roared angrily: "Pass my order, release the arrows, and kill the mongrels who dare to retreat." ”

Yeluao finally made up his mind to kill his own people, but the defeated vanguard battalion was already close to the second wave.

Perhaps they had never received an order to slaughter their own people, although the sound of the trumpet continued to convey Yeluao's military orders, but the Khitan warriors were confused and confused, and there were not many people who really shot the army with bows and shots.

Yeluao's originally very correct military order caused a great chaos within the Khitans, which was really unexpected and shocking.

"Shout with me: Quickly release arrows to stop the rout, you can't all die here." After all, Yeluao was a famous Khitan general, and after a short period of thought, he immediately ordered the tooth soldiers to follow him and give a loud order, hoping to save the defeat.

The infantry of the Li family army maintained a line, pressing step by step, but after all, it was in front of the two armies, and the formation of the Khitans was not completely dispersed, and it was impossible to outflank the whole line, so as not to leave a very terrifying gap.

At this time, the party members led by quite Chaoyong followed behind the Khitans who had turned around and fled wildly, biting tightly and refusing to say anything at all.

Li Zhongyi had already turned over and sat on the back of the "Blood Kill" at this time, quite brave and tenacious, he had seen it all very clearly just now.

If it was a reckless person, he would definitely order the whole line to be pressed, but Li Zhongyi always kept a clear head, if the infantry army wanted to win over the cavalry army, it must rely on a complete front, and it could not rush for quick success.

After Yeluao's military order was issued in time, many Khitans who turned the corner turned and divided towards their own people, drawing bows and arrows.

"Ah......" The defeated army, after being hit by Li Jiajun, was dizzy, and was actually shot down by their own family, and the casualties were much heavier than just now.

The herdsmen of the steppe peoples are also bloody, and they have never been beaten without fighting back, and the first wave of Khitans who were hit by their own families drew their bows and fought back.

Yeluao was not far away, and when the stray arrow came, there were a few unlucky soldiers around him, who were hit by the arrow and fell off their horses, and died completely.

"Xiao Chuling, the person leading you, intercept the damn party dog." Yeluao was keenly aware that the cavalry led by Quite Chaoyong was the biggest source of interference.

Xiao Chuling is a declining son of the royal family of the Xi people, and by the grace of Yelu Ao's knowledge, he has been following the left and right to fight in the south and the north, and has made some military achievements.

Before the establishment of the Khitan Taizu Yelu Abaoji, he had always regarded the Xiao clan of the Xi clan as his best ally, and its successive queens were all from the Xiao clan. Xi Ren is the target of the Khitan people's efforts, and Xiao Chuling is grateful to Yelu Ao, so he is naturally willing to sell his dead power.

Therefore, after Yelu Ao's death order was issued, Xiao Chuling did not hesitate at all, shouted at his subordinates, and rushed over in the direction of Quite Chaoyong.

With the sound of military drums, the front of the Li family's army became tighter and tighter, and Yeluao's side had also cleared the defeated soldiers who had been scattered.

"Sons, the blood of my great Khitan warriors will never be allowed to be shed in vain, all raise their shields, and follow my horse to step on the southern barbarians......" After all, Yeluao has led the army for a long time, and has long prestige in the army, he rushed out first, and for a while, the morale of the Khitan people was greatly boosted.

Li Zhongyi clearly saw that the Khitan brigade was making a comeback, and he couldn't help but smile coldly: This is the decisive battle he wants! (To be continued.) )
