Xiao Siyuan has always been unable to figure it out, and more than 5,000 southern barbarians dared to leave the protection of Yuguan and take the initiative to challenge him on the grassland of Yima Pingchuan.

Regarding the combat effectiveness of the Southern Barbarian Army, Xiao Siyuan's recent memory is still in Baigou.

The Southern Barbarian Army, located south of Baigou, is indeed okay in combat, yes, it's just okay.

If there is no barrier from Baigou, Xiao Siyuan is quite confident that he can lead the Khitan warriors to defeat the southern barbarians.

Xiao Siyuan has always been very cautious, but after so many days of confrontation between the two armies, even if he is a fool, he should know that there are at least more than 20,000 people in the Khitan camp.

With 5,000 infantry troops, challenging more than 20,000 Khitan elite iron cavalry, Xiao Siyuan touched his chin and secretly wondered, only a madman would dare to do this!

If it was Yelu Xianzhen or Yelu Xiuge who commanded the subordinate Shan army, he would definitely send auxiliaries to resolutely test the intentions of the Southern Barbarians.

30,000 VS 5,000, the disparity between the numbers and the numbers is simply outrageous. In addition, according to Xiao Siyuan's previous experience, the Khitan cavalry dealt with the infantry of the Southern Barbarians, at least a one-to-three exchange ratio.

However, it was obviously a southern barbarian who came to send him to death, but Xiao Siyuan was undecided, and it was difficult to make up his mind.

Abnormal, it's really abnormal, the more Xiao Siyuan thinks about it, the more he feels that there is fraud in it!

The sound of military drums, the elite of the right guard of the five thousand feathers, under the command of Yang Lie, marched forward.

About 500 steps away from the Khitan people's Dazhai, Yang Lie ordered to suppress the formation, leaving room for the Khitans to camp and array.

Xiao Siyuan touched his chin and carefully observed the military formation of the Southern Barbarians, and he was surprised to find it. The small team in front of him was like a slash and axe. It's scary-neat.

Well, that's kind of interesting. Xiao Siyuan thought for a while and ordered: "Xiao Yuangu, bring your people and rush to his mother." ”

Defense has never been the strong point of the Khitan warriors, although Xiao Siyuan led the troops cautiously, but he was also provoked by the arrogance of the Southern Barbarians.

Xiao Yuangu is not only Xiao Siyuan's henchman, but also brave. has always won Xiao Siyuan's favor.

In the Great Khitan, the military strength is second to none is naturally the leather room army, followed by the Shan army.

There are many soldiers, wide generals, and good terrain, if Xiao Siyuan doesn't send troops to attack and kill the arrogance of the Southern Barbarians, then he really doesn't deserve the surname Xiao.

However, Xiao Siyuan, who has always been cautious and cautious. still left a big backhand: Xiao Yuangu's soldiers and horses have 3,000 regular soldiers and more than 6,000 auxiliary soldiers, totaling more than 10,000 people.

Two against one. On this vast prairie again, Xiao Siyuan thought to himself, even if there is something strange about the Southern Barbarians. No more fighting, the battalion was withdrawn. It's always possible, right?

The long sound of the horn alarmed the drowsy Yang Lie. He yawned lazily, squinted at the Khitan cavalry who were swarming out of the camp, and said in his heart, it's finally here!

"All of them, five dan strikes ready." Yang Lie didn't plan to entangle with the Khitans too much, and as soon as he made a move, he was ruthless.

Others may not know that as one of Li Zhongyi's two most admired disciples, Yang Lie's heart is like a mirror, if he fights his old book here, it is obviously impossible for the light crown of the master of the Great Zhou Empire to fall on Li Zhongyi's head.

Since the late Tang Dynasty, this has been a paradise for martial artists, and with strong soldiers in hand, there is everything.

Zhu Wen on behalf of Tang, Guo Zhou on behalf of Han, all of them are playing tricks on the next gram, Yang Lie, who is familiar with history books, knows very well!

The sound of hooves was like thunder, and the shouts of killing were deafening, and the elite Shan army of the Khitan finally came out.

Xiao Yuangu brandished the long scimitar in his hand, and shouted excitedly: "Kill all the southern barbarians......"

Yang Lie narrowed his eyes and observed carefully, and he found that the charge of the Shan army was very distinctive.

The Khitans who rushed to the front were actually not many, about a thousand or so. The Khitans who followed the camp, although the formation was not neat, could be clearly seen, and they were very organized and quickly spread along the wall, fanning them over.

Yang Lie took out the monoculars in the saddle bag and silently observed every move of the Khitans, this was the first head-to-head battle between the Great Zhou Qiang army and the Khitan elite, and he had to be cautious.

The officers and soldiers of the right guard of Yulin were arranged in a neat phalanx, and each column was seven people in depth.

Xiao Siyuan had already noticed that the middle part of the Southern Barbarian's large array was empty and looked extremely thin. Therefore, when Xiao Siyuan gave Xiao Yuangu a combat order, he explained it in private: aim at the corner of the southern barbarians, concentrate superior forces, and attack one side obliquely.

The phalanx of the Southern Barbarians, Xiao Siyuan has seen it many times, and he also knows the mystery of it.

Riding a bow against a foot bow, the foot bow has a long range and great power, which is indeed the advantage of the southern barbarians.

However, Xiao Siyuan had some experience in breaking the phalanx of the Southern Barbarians, and he arranged Xiao Yuangu in a very targeted manner, not to launch a frontal assault, but to attack the connection between the two sides of the Southern Barbarians.

Xiao Yuangu resolutely implemented Xiao Siyuan's tactical intentions, and after he led his troops out of the camp, he ordered the auxiliaries to outflank the two wings of the Southern Barbarian Array. He himself led 3,000 elite soldiers to the southwest corner of the Southern Barbarian Array, and rushed to kill him.

Seeing this situation, Yang Lie couldn't help but nod secretly, the strong Khitan people are indeed very set!

Soon, Yang Lie found that the Khitan attack was divided into three echelons, and each wave of assault force was about 1,000 people.

Moreover, between each attack wave of the Khitans, at least half an arrow was set aside.

Seeing this, Yang Lie nodded again, the elite is the elite, compared with the ordinary tribal army, in terms of momentum alone, it is an overwhelming advantage.

The iron cavalry of the grassland people is indeed not in vain, and the direction of attack chosen is precisely the Achilles heel of the right guard of Yulin.

Yang Lie kept holding a monocular, carefully observing the movements of the Khitans, until the first wave of enemies was about to enter the range of the Divine Arm Bow, he put away his cynicism and ordered: "The whole army is deflected to the right by ninety degrees. ”

Xiao Siyuan was drinking water, and suddenly heard the tooth soldiers beside him exclaim: "The Southern Barbarian is actually circling in ...... same place."

"What?" Xiao Siyuan hurriedly threw the water bladder and looked over intently, but saw that the originally boxy array of the Southern Barbarians had actually changed direction in a short period of time.

Xiao Siyuanyuan stared at the southern barbarians in amazement, daring to ignore the brave impact of the Khitan warriors, they strutted forward, followed the rhythm of the drum, and moved the junction of the phalanx sideways to the side where no one attacked.

"Wow." Xiao Siyuan is a veteran general with an old soldier, and he knows very well in his heart how difficult it is to command the army to move in place!

Mingjin withdraws troops? In Xiao Siyuan's mind, this idea came to mind for the first time, but after thinking about it, the offensive formation was already in full swing, and if he collected troops at this time, he would definitely mess up his own position.

In this way, it will not only hurt morale, but also degrade Xiao Siyuan's prestige in the army.

That's it, that's it, no matter how beautiful the formation of the Southern Barbarians is, it's just an empty shelf.

Xiao Siyuan made up his mind that only by fighting hard-fought can it be possible to truly find out the reality of the Southern Barbarians.

The enemy is outnumbered, if Xiao Siyuan is too frightened to attack, not to mention that in this Shan army, even the entire Khitan military circle, he may not be able to stay.

"Kill." Under the command of Xiao Yuangu, the warriors of the first wave of assault of the Shan Army spread out a loose formation and pounced viciously.

Originally, the angle that Xiao Yuangu was optimistic about the Southern Barbarian had already fallen out of position, and he thought to himself, although the frontal attack suffered a greater loss, he was not worried about not being able to break through the weak formation of the Southern Barbarian Bo Da Qi Column.

Yang Lie narrowed his eyes and watched coldly, the regular army is a regular army after all, and even the formation of the cavalry charging is very different from the palace division army and the tribal army that like to rush up.

The two armies were originally five hundred paces apart, which was the distance that Yang Lie's calculated cavalry charge was not a good turn.

Of course, if the Khitans want to turn around in the battle, hehe, Yang Lie can't like it anymore, and the impact area has expanded several times!

Now, the Khitans have rushed past the limit range of the three hundred steps of the Divine Arm Bow, and Yang Lie ordered to change the formation, but in fact, the Khitans have no time to fall.

Unfolded before the battle? Yang Lie didn't think that the regular Khitan army would be so stupid!

Sure enough, the impact formation of the Khitans confirmed Yang Lie's judgment: in the face of the oncoming arrow formation, the formation of the Khitans appeared to be extremely loose.

Yang Lie knew in his heart that the Khitans had seen it, and the rectangular array he put out was too thin, only seven columns.

As long as the Khitans broke through one side, it was equivalent to completely disintegrating the defensive phalanx of Yulin's right guard, and the rest could only be slaughtered.

"Speed up, kill in." Xiao Yuangu found that after the Southern Barbarian changed formation, although he had some doubts in his heart, he could only fight hard.

For a while, the horns sounded in unison, and the strange sound of long eggplants echoed in the sky, shocking the heart.

"All of them, hold the bow at a forty-five degree angle, take the arrow, squat in the first row, and squat in the second row." Yang Lie decisively gave the order to prepare for shooting.

"The first three rows, three salvos!" When the Khitans entered the complete strike range of two hundred paces, Yang Lie did not hesitate to order the arrows to be released.

The bow and crossbow is one of the most important striking weapons in the era of cold weapons. Especially in the vast prairie, the bow and crossbow are the magic weapon for victory.

It just so happened that Li Zhongyi made an extremely powerful divine arm bow, and not only that, after years of training, Yulin Right Guard has reached the level of being like an arm and a finger.

Deadly long-range weapons, coupled with extremely strict military discipline, the phalanx can be changed at any time, which is where Li Zhongyi's confidence lies in daring to confront the Khitans.

In the past, the army of Zhao and Song Dynasty had many soldiers and a wide range of generals, and they also had the help of the divine arm bow, and the phalanx was thick. It's a pity that the military discipline is too poor, holding the magic weapon, but the enemy's heart has been shaken before the enemy, and he has been defeated in successive battles, who is to blame?

Yang Lie's confidence in the organization, discipline and combat effectiveness of his subordinates is not ordinary.

Hehe, in the face of the enemy, which army's army dares to do this?

But I'm the right guard of the feather forest! (To be continued......)
