Chapter 447: Iron Cavalry
The Khitans can be said to have grown up on horseback, and immediately formed a sharp wedge shape after hearing Yelu Dadan's shout, which is the most suitable shape for breaking through, and consciously protected the Lord Yelu Dadan in it.
They are pro-soldiers, once the lord will have something, even if they return to the Liao Dynasty, there will be no good end, even if the emperor does not govern them, the rest of the royal family will not let them go, protecting the lord will be the duty of the pro-soldiers, sometimes even if it is to give their lives.
Peng Qi's right hand was raised high, and the ratchet divine arm crossbow of the Great Song Dynasty pointed diagonally at the Khitans, and everyone believed that under the continuous waves of crossbow arrows, the enemy would quickly lose its combat effectiveness, how could a hundred and ten cavalry escape from the coverage of the Great Song crossbow arrows?
But Di Qing stopped Peng Qi's approach, which made him very angry: "Boy, do you plan to watch these Khitans go back and report to the Liao Emperor?" ”
Di Qing shook his head: "The last general doesn't have this plan, but instead of wasting arrows, why don't I let the Great Song Dynasty attack and try it out?" ”
Peng Qi's face became wonderful, and he said with a cold smile: "This is an opportunity, do you dare to deal with the old man if something happens?!" ”
Di Qing laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this? Di Qing is willing to advance and retreat with the general! ”
Peng Qi pulled down the mask on his helmet and patted the horse's buttocks and ran out, Di Qing followed closely, the hideous grimace on his face was painted by the official family himself before the military exercise, so far Di Qing didn't know why the official family did this, after all, his face was quite passable.
Di Qing and Peng Qi led their pro-army to intercept them, and the forbidden army that had been surrounded immediately pulled the encirclement far away, so as not to be injured by their own people, it would not be good, after all, being injured on the battlefield is still a military merit, and if you want to be injured by your own people, it is a matter of cooperation, not only is there no reward, but also a military stick......
In Yelu Dadan's eyes, these Song people are simply giving him a chance to escape from the Khitan warriors, the greater the distance between the cavalry, the less resistance there is for the escapees, and the greater the chance of breaking through!
Now that the enemy has already given the opportunity, of course Yelu Dadan will not waste it in vain, the remaining snow in the horse's belly rushed out like an arrow from the string, and the entire Liao army squad also increased its speed as a whole, and the advantage of the Khitan horse's short-distance sprint was brought into full play!
Yelu Dadan showed a smug smile, if you want to talk about the experience and means of horse warfare, the Liao people are well-deserved masters, and the Song people want to catch up with themselves, but they are still far away!
But it didn't take long for him to realize that something was wrong, the rumbling sound of iron hooves sounded again, and just behind him, the Song army that had been blocking him and the others in front had quickly separated to both sides, and almost fled by the way.
Jerodan turned his head and glanced at the sudden revenant, the cavalry made of steel was chasing them frantically! It was as if a huge beast had opened its bloody jaws......
The Khitan horse was fast and could maintain a certain advantage at the beginning, while the short speed advantage was disappearing with time, and the powerful Arabian war horse played to its great advantage, with plenty of stamina and bravery.
It can maintain a fairly high speed and continue to move forward is the reason why Zhao Zhen values it most, the roar is getting closer and closer, Yelu Dadan can already feel the murderous aura behind him, and the breath of despair is slowly enveloping this hundred-person team, he regrets not listening to Wang Su's opinion, why did his good guard come to spy on the military exercise of the Great Song Dynasty, now it is good, if the military exercise of the Great Song Dynasty becomes an opportunity for the two countries to fight because of himself, then even if he Yelu Dadan is a royal family, will it be doom!
Peng Qi and Di Qing are performing their duties, and the official family has an edict that anyone who snoops on the military exercises of the Great Song Dynasty will be killed!
This is the military law of wartime, but there is no room for bargaining, the two of them with their own soldiers to move forward, the Khitans have begun to use delaying tactics, some knights turned the dock and rushed desperately towards the steel jungle, but they were torn to pieces in an instant.
Because it was to deal with a small number of enemy troops, the iron cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty almost directly pierced the Khitans with spears, and then abandoned the clumsy spears in their hands and drew special horizontal knives to charge, and the huge spears were still the most suitable for breaking the formation.
Yelu Dadan found that the death squad he left behind basically did not play any role in hindering the Song army, but only made the steel jungle scarce, and years of fighting on horseback had made him see the end of the war, but he still chose to keep letting his guards send them to death in order to delay the pace of the Great Song cavalry.
This is obviously in vain, the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty is getting closer and closer, and Yelu Dadan's personal soldiers are getting fewer and fewer, in despair, he can only charge frantically, and at this time, a little stay is a place to die.
Di Qing took the lead, and stabbed the spear in his hand into the back of a Khitan soldier, and slid diagonally in the scream, and the Khitan soldier was thrown under the iron hooves of the Great Song Dynasty like a rag doll, and he didn't need to look at it to know that this person was finished, and the sound of bones being trampled by the horse's hooves was so harsh, even in the roar of the horse's hooves, it was so clear and audible.
Yelu Dadan took this opportunity to look back and slash at Di Qing, he hoped that he could kill and injure a Song army general, so that the death was worth it, but what disappointed him was that a shield easily blocked his hateful blow, and then his arm was cold, Yelu Dadan's pupils constricted, and his right hand holding the knife was waved in the air and fell into the billowing smoke, and then he saw his back, which was impossible but really happened, because his head had been cut off......
The advantage of the cavalry is the impact brought by the horse, the knight can use this impact to maximize the advantage of the blade in his hand, Di Qing easily cut off the head of Yelu Dadan, which made Peng Qi on the side very unhappy, he can only take the remaining Liao Dynasty enemy army as the object of venting.
This plain has become a hell of slaughter, and the sharpness of the Great Song cavalry was shown to the world for the first time, but it was only a short display and quietly ended in an instant, and the Khitan team of 100 people in front of him had been completely slaughtered, and no one was left alive.
Even the corpses were collected and cremated by a special person, and no clues would be left to others, and before the real Song-Liao War began, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty would never let the enemy know, which was the highest instruction in the emperor's holy decree.
That's why Peng Qi and Di Qing killed the Khitan cavalry so unscrupulously.
Di Qing glanced at the large round guard in the middle of Yelu Dadan's chest, judging from the ornament on it, this person is still a high-ranking general, maybe his head is worth a few dollars, so he casually buckled Yelu Dadan's head in the saddle and turned back towards the barracks, but the eyes of the human head have been open......
