Xu Detai counted the men and horses, and said in a deep voice: "All battalions are here, please give the marshal an order!" ”

Han Ningshuang was about to give an order, when the cannon sound of "boom-rumble-" in the west was loud, and the dense and rapid sound of horses' hooves seemed to be beating at the same time, and like the sound of tumbling thunder, getting closer and closer. Gao Bolong said in a deep voice: "It's the direction of the Liao army camp!" Tens of thousands of horsemen are rushing over! The faces of the generals of the Han army changed suddenly, and Zhao Xingde said secretly: It's coming so fast!

Han Ningshuang did not hesitate and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!" The Han army opened wide, and more than 2,000 horsemen rushed out. Hundreds of cavalry of the artillery battalion led by Zhao Xingde followed closely behind the Chinese army, and finally more than 300 elite guards led by Han Ningshuang.

The Jurchen cavalry outside the camp was in a commotion, and the leading general shouted: "Hurry back!" Those who go out of the camp without permission will be punished as rebellious! Gao Bolong ignored it and said loudly: "Rush over!" At the moment of the horse, hundreds of armored horsemen raised their spears and rushed towards the Jurchen cavalry. The Jurchen general shouted: "The Han army rebels!" Before the words fell, the Han army's armored cavalry had rushed to the front. The iron cavalry led by Gao Bolong is the elite of the training for many years, relying on the strength of the armor and the soldiers, the sharp and arrow formation is maintained very well, and the enemy army suddenly suffered a big loss, the Jurchen cavalry was caught off guard, some of them avoided in a hurry, and some urged the horse to step forward, and the formation was suddenly chaotic.

"Keep up!" Zhao Xingde urged the horse tightly, and took advantage of the gap to look to the west, only to see a torch shaking, and like a tide, rushing towards the Jin army camp, coming very fast. Night fighting is a taboo for soldiers, and it seems that the Liao army must have internal reports. This internal should be to be the military aircraft counselor of the Jin State, and it must be able to win the trust of the Liao State. Otherwise, even if the Liao army heard the movement on the side of the Jin State camp, how would they know that this was not a trap? In the night, the truth is not known, how can the whole army be easily mobilized to make a desperate bet.

Yelu Dashi knew the reality of the Jin army, and he left no room for anything, and rushed over with all his strength with the elite cavalry. The two armies were close to each other, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the cavalry of the Liao army arrived outside the camp of the Jin army, the cavalry threw out the lasso, and the war horse pulled down the fence of the outermost camp. The Liao army suddenly launched a night attack, and the camp of the Jin army, which had just calmed down, was suddenly chaotic like a hornet's nest. Between the barracks were full of galloping horse teams. Wan Yan Ci took more than 20,000 cavalry to withdraw and return to the north suddenly, and then encountered a sudden night attack by the Liao army.

At this time, whether it was the various Meng'an troops guarding the camp, or the Jurchen cavalry guarding between the camps, they were all attacked by the Liao army. Although the Jin soldiers were panicked, they did not disperse, and they fought separately under the leadership of each Meng'an Mouke, resisting very tenaciously, and there were many fierce Meng'an counterattacks. Quite a few tents were lit, and the ground was littered with discarded torches. In the dark night, the firelight was dazzling, but nothing could be seen clearly. Everywhere you can only hear the hooves of horses, the sound of armor, and the occasional sound of arrows whizzing through the air, and I don't know where to shoot. The cavalry was all in chaos, the general could not find a commander, the commander could not find a centurion, and the two armies of Liaojin could only be divided into countless cavalry teams of hundreds or thousands of horsemen, indiscriminately distinguishing between the enemy and me, chasing each other and fighting fiercely.

The night battles of the cavalry are extremely dangerous, and no matter how good they are, it depends on luck to survive. Although in the dark, the cavalry of Liaojin not only did not dare to slow down, but urged the horses to gallop as much as possible, and the two horses staggered each other in the dark, often not even the faces of the other party could be seen clearly.

The Han cavalry had just broken a group of Jurchen cavalry, and before they could take a breath, another Liao cavalry rushed out head-on. The two armies collided together, and in the darkness countless cavalry fell from their horses, screaming again and again. However, the Chinese army was mixed with a large number of rough horsemen, whose mounts changed speed slightly, and many of them leaned forward and backward on their horses, and were dismounted after the slightest touch of the enemy's blades. More and more Chinese sergeants were scattered and left behind. "Keep up, keep up!" Xu Detai was so anxious that he shouted loudly, and soon he was too busy to take care of himself, his personal guards were not from the cavalry, and they were rushed by the enemy, and it was difficult to maintain the formation, so they let a cavalry Liao army kill in front of Xu Detai, the strong wind was blowing, Xu Detai saw the sword light in front of him, and said secretly: "My life is resting!" ”

At this moment, only to hear a long sound of the "bell", Liao Qi snorted, the scimitar almost flew out of his hand, and the two horses passed by mistake. Xu Detai opened his eyes and saw that Zhao Xingde was riding beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Master Xu, have you seen Marshal Han?" ”

Xu Detai was shocked, and turned his head to look, because the night was dark, his eyesight could only get about a dozen steps beside him, except for the group of Han troops who followed Xu Zhao and the others, the front army and the rear army had disappeared. The Han army has rushed to the edge of the battlefield, and now when I look back, there are indistinguishable Liaojin cavalry galloping everywhere, and the farther north it goes, the more intensive the cavalry engagement becomes.

Xu Detai only felt a chill pouring from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, and the whole person suddenly stiffened, he looked at Zhao Xingde, and said in a lost voice, "This, how is it good?" Where did Gao Bolong go? His mind was hot, and he rushed out: "I'll turn around and kill back immediately, and don't let Marshal Han fall into the enemy formation!" "There are still more than 1,000 Han cavalry under his command, but most of them are from foot soldiers.

Zhao Xingde looked left and right. Most of the Han soldiers were wounded, and they easily broke out of the enemy's encirclement, some people's eyes flashed with sparks for the rest of their lives, some people were panting, and some people were pale and frightened.

"Riding is not expensive, and it is useless to have many people. I took fifty elite horsemen back to look for the marshal, and Xu took these brothers into Jicui Mountain to wait. Zhao Xingde said in a deep voice, reached out and patted the neck of the war horse, and gently tightened the leather belt, the flickering and shaking firelight reflected a large shadow on his face, and his face was covered with dust and sweat.

Xu Detai should have objected, but for some reason, after hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "General Zhao take care, I will wait for you in Jicui Mountain." "Now is not the time for mothers-in-law, every moment of delay is more dangerous. Xu Detai didn't even explain anything to the soldiers, and directly called out more than 40 cavalry soldiers under his command and handed them over to Xingde. Zhao Xingde told Liu Zhijian to take the artillery battalion for the time being, and then returned with more than 50 horsemen and rushed into the battlefield. More than 50 horsemen lined up into a sharp arrow, and Zhao Xingde and Jian Cheng led the way in front, only taking the gap between the battle of the Jin Army and the Liao Army Brigade. Because there are few soldiers and they are familiar with the road, it is easier to rush out with a large army, but it is not much easier.

In the distance to the west, there was once again an overwhelming array of torches, and the second group of night raiding Liao troops was slowly approaching, different from the thunderous onslaught just now. This wave of offensive is coming slowly. The Xi army's infantry formed a large formation of the Chinese army, carrying strong crossbows, ox cart bed crossbows and other sharp weapons in the battle formation, and the elite palace tent cavalry formed a crutch horse formation on both wings, and the column horse cavalry was on guard from afar. At this time, many Jin military camps had been completely destroyed. On the battlefield where the melee continued, the Jinliao cavalry, which had already been chaotic, gradually formed a group of thousands of horsemen under the command of the cavalry generals.

The rear of the Han army happened to be wrapped in thousands of cavalry engaged with each other. Hundreds of Han cavalry have been dispersed, and there are only more than ten horsemen left around Han Ningshuang, and there are Liaojin cavalry galloping back and forth on the left and right. Han Ningshuang's clothes and armor were already stained with blood, and he couldn't feel the soreness of his arms. Sweat trickled down the cracks in her iron helmet, and she gradually felt exhausted, and there were fewer and fewer guards beside her. It's a hellish battlefield, where everyone fights each other like wild beasts, and the slightest hesitation kills the hands of others. Both the Liao army and the Jin army were based on tribes, and even Yelu Dashi was composed of warriors from the same tribe. There were no flags in the night battle, and it was difficult to distinguish the clothes and armor during the melee, and the cavalry on both sides of Liaojin almost relied on instinct, except for the tribe that was not the enemy, the cavalry who encountered other encounters, if they had the slightest suspicion, they faced each other with swords and spears. The Han cavalry, which was wrapped in the battlefield, was in a worrying situation, and almost every wave of cavalry groups encountered would rush over.

Suddenly, a horse came from ahead, and Han Ningshuang instinctively raised his sword and slashed it, but he heard the man say loudly: "It's me!" With a "bell", her sword was opened, and Zhao Xingde's dusty and ash-stained face seemed to suddenly appear in front of him. At this time, more than a dozen horsemen rushed over, forming protection around Zhao Xingde and Han Ningshuang.

"General Zhao." The corners of Han Ningshuang's mouth moved, but she couldn't make a sound.

"Follow me!" He shouted, turned his horse's head, and reached out to point in one direction. That's where they rushed over there. Han Ningshuang nodded, and before she had time to say anything, she urged the horse to follow. The wind was blowing in my ears, but I was sure a lot in my heart. The Han army under Han Ningshuang was wrapped in the battlefield by the Liaojin cavalry, constantly fighting, and had already lost its direction, and he didn't know where the battlefield was virtual and where was real.

When Zhao Xingde and the others rushed in, they passed through the gap between the Liao army and the Jin soldiers, and then returned the same way, and suddenly dozens of Liao cavalry rushed out, and there was no time to dodge, and the two armies collided together.

"You go first!" Zhao Xingde shouted violently, put Han Ningshuang in front, raised his horizontal knife and rushed towards the enemy. At this time of the battle, people were already fighting with an instinctive ferocity, and the horizontal knife slashed at the oncoming riding spear, but because of the lack of strength, the riding spear was not completely blocked, the spearhead was crooked, and the "snap" hit the shoulder, Zhao Xingde's body was crooked, and he almost fell off the horse, he gasped in pain, but the horizontal knife in his hand was dragged and wiped on the neck of the Liao cavalry who passed by the wrong horse.
