The Thousand Cavalry Battalion is detailed and stable Yelu Hongshan, and the Thousand Cavalry Battalion B is detailed and stable Yelu Wanguang, both of which are Yelu Changyuan's henchmen.

Among them, Yelu Hongshan is more courageous, Yelu Wanguang is more resourceful, and Yelu Changyuan ordered these two people to attack and harass the Li family army on the left and right, just giving full play to their strengths.

When the two thousand cavalry battalions began to slow down in small steps, Yelu Wan shouted, "You rush first, I follow!" ”

After Yelu Hongshan heard this, he couldn't help rolling his eyes and muttered, "It's me rushing first!" ”

In the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, Yelu Wanguang didn't hear Yelu Hongshan's words clearly, but he only looked at Yelu Hongshan's demeanor and knew that this kid was complaining again!

Yeluwan roared hoarsely: "It's still the old rules, the first credit belongs to you!" ”

When Yelu Hongshan heard this, he nodded heavily and said, "This is about the same!" ”

The Khitan Pimur Army was also a well-trained standing elite cavalry, and the fly in the ointment was that this team still had the nomadic habits of the steppe barbarians.

That is to say, they are good at fighting a tailwind battle, and once they encounter setbacks or defeat in battle, military discipline is unlikely to be able to control the situation!

After Li Yongtang received the order, he immediately issued an order: "The artillery battalion is divided into three echelons, the first echelon is wound ammunition, the second echelon is loaded with solid ammunition, and the third echelon is loaded with shotguns, and the ...... are fired in turn."

In the Li family's army, the supreme commander at the forefront had the power to revise the military orders issued by Li Zhongyi within a certain range.

As the saying goes, soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent!

At the time of the battle, the local and overall situation can be described as changing rapidly. Li Zhongyi allowed his subordinates to modify his orders, which was not only a great trust, but also a full authorization with a purpose!

In the great duel of positional warfare of hundreds of thousands of people, even if Li Jiajun has many means of information transmission, it is still impossible to be as fast and accurate as a battlefield telephone.

In many cases, from the time Li Zhongyi discovered the change in the enemy's situation to the time when the revised order was accurately transmitted to the commander of the ordered unit, it was likely that half an hour had passed, and it was easy to delay the big thing!

Since the establishment of the General Staff Department, commanders above the battalion level have been allowed to grasp the fighters in a timely manner and appropriately revise the military orders above within the predetermined backup plan.

Due to professional considerations, Li Yongtang added solid iron bullets to the chain bombs, and changed the echelon of the launch to three waves, all of which were within the scope of the backup plan.

When dealing with the charge of the steppe cavalry, objectively speaking, the range of solid bullets is much longer than that of chain bullets, and it can be used in the first wave of strikes.

Due to the slower firing speed of the artillery, chain bullets and shotguns were used against cavalry within the specified range. Among them, especially shotguns, although the range is relatively short, but the lethality is surprisingly strong.

Due to the vital importance of the artillery battalion, when the battle was about to be fought, Li Zhongyi handed over the command of the bow and crossbow battalion to Li Yongtang, the commander of the artillery battalion.

The range of the Divine Arm Crossbow is shorter than that of solid bullets, but it is farther than chain bullets, and the rate of fire far exceeds that of artillery.

Letting the crossbowmen make up for the shortcomings of the slow firing speed of the artillery is a major initiative of Li Zhongyi, which is very effective in making up for the lack of artillery!

According to the regulations, after the artillery battalion fired solid or chain shells, while the artillerymen were loading the projectiles and gunpowder, it was the turn of the crossbow to suppress the fire.

After a few rounds of fire, the artillery fires another round, and so on, to ensure that there are no blank spots in the firepower of the strike!

War is a highly learned science, and whoever does not act in accordance with the objective laws of science will certainly make a big mistake!

The thousand cavalry of Yeluhong Mountain, when they were two miles away from the Li family's army line, gradually began to accelerate.

As the war horse galloped, Yelu Hongshan took off the war bow on his back and waved it into the air a few times. Soon, the Khitan warriors of the entire thousand cavalry team took out their bows and took arrows on the strings.

The basic condition for the Khitans who can be selected into the leather room army is that they are skilled in bows and horses, and in the thousand-horse camp of Yeluhong Mountain, among the cavalry bows equipped by the soldiers, the smallest bow is the power of two stones.

The Khitan people's specialty in dealing with the Han infantry army is to use the speed of war horses to circle the large array of the Han infantry army, galloping on horseback, and holding bows and arrows at the same time.

The feeling of being beaten passively is indeed very uncomfortable, and the impact on morale is extremely negative!

However, the Li Jiajun was not an ordinary Han army. Li Jiajun not only has long-range strike forces such as artillery, divine arm crossbows, and improvised bottle throwers, but also has as many as 30,000 elite cavalry troops.

Yelu Hongshan is good at shooting three arrows in one string, each arrow can penetrate Yang in 100 steps, and is known as the first marksman of the leather room army.

It is precisely because of the abundant capital that Yelu Changyuan will repeatedly promote Yelu Hongshan until the high position of Qianqi.

"Come with me...... Yelu Hongshan waved his bow and pointed to the left, and then patted his horse and galloped to the left.

In the galloping of thousands of horses, no one could hear what Yelu Hongshan was shouting, but the relatives beside him could understand his gestures.

"Rush this way......"

"Rush this way......"

The Khitans did not have the concept of left and right directions, so they could only replace them with this side or that side.

Fortunately, the warriors of the Khitan people have been following Yeluhong Mountain for a long time, and everyone is very familiar with his posture and language, and the entire thousand cavalry team has followed him to the left side to spin and rush over.

Li Yongtang pursed his lips and stared at the trajectory of the Khitans, five hundred steps, four hundred steps, three hundred steps.

At three hundred paces, the Khitans suddenly turned to the left collectively and played a beautiful left rotation of the sticking formation.

"Hehe, damn Khitan Tartars, what Lao Tzu is waiting for is your left or right spin." Li Yongtang spit out the grass roots in his mouth, and said viciously, "I'll count five times, and the chain bomb will be fired!" ”

Li Zhongyi once read a book, where it was mentioned that machine gun positions are generally placed on the side of the main position, and the lethality of such a deployment will be more than twice as powerful as frontal strafing.

Li Yongtang didn't believe it at first, but after experimenting with scarecrows, he immediately realized that, according to the same logic, artillery placed on the side of the position was more threatening to the enemy than deployed on the front.

"One ......"

"Three ......"

"Five...... Ignition ......" Li Yongtang slashed his arm down, and forty guns that had been loaded immediately let out a roar of killing, "Boom, boom, boom......"

Due to the effect of inertia, the radius of the turn of the cavalry unit is inextricably linked to the number of people charged.

Yeluhongshan was the first to turn at a distance of three hundred paces, and his men followed suit, and in the blink of an eye, the entire wide cross-section of the cavalry array was immediately exposed to the range of the artillery.

"Whoosh......" dozens of chain bullets smashed into the Khitan cavalry ranks with lightning speed, strangling all creatures that could be touched.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the wide side cross-sectional array of the Leather Room Army was instantly swept out of a large blank area by the chain bullet.
