Chapter 1407: Bloody Battle

The Jurchens, who were small in stature but were unusually nimble, were obviously more experienced in melee combat than the Liao army, because most of them struggled to survive in the dense forests of white mountains and black waters, in the cold rapids, and in the barren tundra. Whether it is the fish swimming in the water, the tigers, leopards, bears, pigs and other fierce beasts in the mountains and forests, or the wolves roaming the wasteland, they are all their born opponents. And these wild creatures are either fangs and claws that are fierce, or they are slippery and agile and difficult to catch. This also cultivated the unusual fighting skills of the Jurchens.

The Jurchen is less than a hundred, and a hundred are invincible! Although this circulating sentence is very exaggerated, it also shows from a certain angle that the Jurchens are brave and invincible in combat, of course, referring to melee combat.

In front of him, there were more than 80,000 Jurchens, and the sudden attack, the divided formation, and the close cut with almost no reaction time made the Liao cavalry, which was already at a disadvantage in numbers, unable to resist at all. Although they reacted very quickly, and Han Zhang warned as soon as he discovered the enemy's situation, he still couldn't reverse the decline after all.

Countless whirling meniscus whined in the air, reflecting a faint blue glow in the starlight. At a distance of thirty paces, the Jurchens' meniscus were a masterpiece, even faster than archery. The circling sword formation cut countless blood flowers in the Liao cavalry formation, although because the meniscus knife was not too sharp and could not kill the Liao soldiers wearing armor in one blow, it could still cut through their not very good armor, causing huge wounds.

Just looking at the crescent moon sword array that was full of eyes flying back and forth in the air, it made the cavalry of the Liao army frightened, and they were dazzled and didn't know why.

The attack of the Meniscus is only the first round, and what is really terrifying is the melee combat after the female battle real person rushes into formation. Those Jurchens would not engage in cavalry combat with the Liao cavalry at all, they leaped like flying, jumped on each other's horses, clinged to the tall Liao soldiers like apes, slit each other's throats with their daggers, hit each other's temples with their elbows, twisted their necks with their legs, and slammed the Liao army's lower yin with their iron claws. Tear with fangs and teeth, slam with fists, and slam with the fangs wrapped around the palms of your hands.

In short, they will use every attack you can think of. And all the ways you can't imagine, they will use them. In hunting, when their prey with sharp teeth will put them to death, they will naturally use all the means at their disposal, even if it is using fingers, gouging their mouths, hitting their teeth, etc., as long as they can subdue and kill the prey, they will achieve their goal.

How many of the cavalry led by Han Zhang experienced such a battle? They are accustomed to normal slashing, stabbing and archery killings, and hand-to-hand combat is limited to normal hit parry. Although these cavalrymen experienced the siege of Liaoyang, that battle did not reflect the characteristics of Jurchen close combat. On that day, because of the narrow terrain on the city wall, the Jurchens could not show their tactics. But today they are taught.

Han Zhang soon realized that today's defeat was over. In fact, from the moment you step into the ambush circle of the other party, there is no suspense about the outcome of the battle. What's more, after witnessing the other party's hand-to-hand combat methods, Han Zhang finally understood that what Yelucai said after the defeat was the truth.

After Yelucai's defeat on the south bank of the Daling River outside Xingzhongfu, Yelu Zongyuan was furious and blamed Yu Yelucai. Scolding Yelu for being an idiot. In the wilderness plains, it was actually said that he was ambushed by the Jurchens, and he rushed straight into the encirclement of the other party, as if he was blind. Yelucai is also wronged, and he himself knows that no one will believe this statement, but it is true. At that time, everyone, including Han Yanshou and Han Zhang, didn't believe Ye Lucai's words, they thought that this was just a pretext for Ye Lucai to excuse himself. But this excuse is obviously too outrageous. What's more, the murderous hand-to-hand combat methods of the Jurchens he described are also unbelievable. Throw a whirling blade to kill an enemy, and engage in a beast-like bite and fight for your life in close quarters? I'm afraid no soldier would do that. All this is also considered a pretext. For this reason, Yelu Zongyuan ignored Yelu Cai for a long time, thinking that he was both incompetent and deceived himself.

But now, Han Zhang has witnessed all this with his own eyes, and he finally understands that what Ye Lucai said is not a lie. What he described was far less chilling than what he saw with his own eyes. The Jurchens were all like beasts, not so much a fighting style as a hand-to-hand combat method that they were good at. They don't treat their opponents like people, they treat them like beasts. They are vicious and ferocious, leaving no back, going straight to the point, straight to the point. Han Zhang only hated that there was no regret medicine in the world, even if he believed Ye Lucai's words a little bit at the beginning, and paid attention to the Jurchens' means of hiding ambushes on the ground, he would not be stupid to enter the other party's encirclement today.

At this moment, Han Zhang knew that there was only one way to quickly break out of the encirclement, and he couldn't get entangled here. Without a moment's delay, more than a dozen of his cavalry died at the hands of the opponent, and if they continued to fight, they would be completely annihilated.

Han Zhang roared angrily, and the spear in his hand swept away, sweeping the two Jurchen soldiers who jumped up from their horses and tried to jump on their horses in the air, and at the same time, Han Zhang loudly gave the order to break through.

Two red fireworks exploded in the dark night sky in a row, which was extremely eye-catching. This is the signal sent by Han Zhang's signal soldiers to break through and retreat, and the two red signal flares, which also indicate that the situation is critical, and warn Han Desui who is attacking the mountains in the distance. Thousands of cavalry had already died at the hands of the Jurchens in the chaos, and the remaining cavalry saw the signal and began to assemble and charge.

The combat power of the Liao cavalry is still there, and once they recover from the panic, the soldiers and horses have a clear goal, and after they are assembled into an impact formation, the combat effectiveness of the Liao cavalry will be revealed. The three divided teams of more than 10,000 cavalry quickly rushed together and moved closer together. The lateral distance was only a few hundred steps, and this was precisely the weakest point of the Jurchens. And the periphery is the place where the Jurchens have the most soldiers and horses. Therefore, it is wisest to charge horizontally and converge. Han Zhang's intention was that when the three armies of troops and horses gathered together, they could form a huge force advantage in breaking through in one direction, and the opponent would not have time to mobilize troops and horses to block them, and they would be able to break out of the encirclement. The powerful impact and the blow of the arrows could completely make the Jurchens in one direction irresistible.

This tactic also seems to have worked, and the two cavalry on the left and right desperately rushed to the center to kill and get closer, and the blood and flesh flew along the way, and the casualties were numerous, although the progress was slow but it did work. The Jurchens in the middle of the three armies became the targets of the anti-entrapment, and their casualties were equally heavy. On the way to the cavalry, countless corpses of men and horses from both sides fell on the cold grassland. The blood melted into the dirt, emitting a sickening smell of fishy. At this moment, if it is daytime, you can see that the top spring grass on the ground has been dyed into small red flowers.

Wanyan Agu rode a tall horse and stood on a real dirt bag, his black cloak hunting in the night breeze. He kept an eye on the situation on the battlefield and quickly gained insight into the intentions of the enemy army.

"They want to break through with their troops, hehe, how can they run away in the meat mouth. How could a boiled duck fly. Boys! Rush with Lao Tzu! Wanyan Agu shouted loudly, reached out and took the second long-handled mace in his hand by the saddle.

"Kill!" The mace pointed diagonally into the air, and against the backdrop of the starry sky, the spikes of the head shimmered with a faint blue cold light. With this roar, Wanyan Agu leaped down, and the cloak behind him fluttered, drawing a black phantom in the air.

"Kill!" Two thousand hand-held mace guards roared in unison, chasing the majestic back of Wanyan Agu in front of them.

This soldier and horse with a mace is like a group of fierce beasts in the chaotic battlefield, and the route of their charge is not the junction of the three Liao cavalry, nor the cavalry of the Southern Army on both sides that are approaching the middle, but the main force led by Han Zhang in the middle. Wanyan Agu Da had to cut in from the very middle, cut the main cavalry that was gathering in the middle, and destroy the opponent's intention to break through with the most primitive barbaric means.

The mace rises and falls, bringing the sound of wind and thunder. The scimitars of the cavalry of the Southern Army were light weapons, and they suffered too much in the face of such a barbaric heavy weapon. The mace smashed down on the head, and the scimitar couldn't stop it at all. The clever ones know that they must dodge, and the unsmart ones try to resist with a scimitar, and the result is bound to be smashed with the knife. The 2,000 people elected by Wanyan Agu are all powerful people in the Jurchen clan, and the mace is a weapon that relies on heavy beating to kill the enemy, and relies on the power of might, so the moves designed by Wanyan Agu are all head-to-head smashing and lazy sweeping, there is no return, either you die or I live. That's where the mace comes into play.

The cavalry of the Southern Army could not resist the impact of the two thousand mace cavalry of Yan Aguda, but the dull clicking sound of the skull shattering could be heard everywhere, but after only one blow, even the helmet and the head were smashed into rotten watermelons. The shattered skulls in the air scattered and flew the moment they were smashed, and the brains and flesh bloomed in the air, and everyone was covered with heads. In addition to this sound, for a while, the terrible shouts and moans of ordinary battles could not be heard, because the dead did not even have a chance to scream out in this way of fighting, and died immediately after being hit with a stick on the head, where was there a chance to make a sound.

Two thousand people smashed out of a bloody path like a black knight out of hell, and the flesh and blood killed in the middle of the cavalry of the Southern Army were rolling, and people turned over on their backs. Their intention turned out to be to kill back and forth from the north to the south, completely treating the southern cavalry as a fish belly.

How could Han Zhang tolerate it? He shouted loudly, and led three thousand elite horsemen to kill from the oblique stab, blocking the way of Wanyan Agu's great advance.
