23. Snow Night Attack on Yingzhou (2)

As the elite of Zhao Dejun's hand, the three elements of "Khitan from Mazhi" were surrounded by the Tang army on three sides, and they were suddenly in chaos, and they were blocked by the cavalry general Zhang Chengting.

Seeing that the whole army was scattered, the partial general Wu Cong knew that it was irretrievable, so he led more than 200 pro-troops to rush to Zhao Yanting's side, protecting this "young master" and rushing out to kill. I saw him dancing a big iron spear, brave and unusually brave in the chaotic army, invincible in front of him. Seeing this, Zhang Chengting, the cavalry general of the Tang Army, stepped forward to stop him, but was knocked off by Wu Congji's shot, and he had to flee to the side.

Wu Congji took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, and even rushed out of a bloody way in the encirclement of the northern army to protect Zhao Yanting from breaking through.

Seeing this, Fu Yan, who was chasing behind them, couldn't help but exclaim: "This is a tiger general, this person must be captured alive today!" ”

Wu Cong guarded Zhao Yanting and fled all the way, but Fu Yanqing and his personal guards and cavalry were chasing after him, shouting to kill Zhentian on the snowy plain, and chased all the way to the city of Yingzhou.

Na Wu fled back to the south gate of Yingzhou from Zhao Yanting, but saw the chaos in the city, and the red flag of the Tang army was hung at the head of many cities, and he couldn't help but be shocked. At this moment, I saw the city gate wide open, and Zhao Dejun escaped from the city under the protection of hundreds of guards.

When Zhao Yanting saw Zhao Dejun escape, he rushed over and shouted, "Daddy, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Dejun said angrily: "The prince and Han Shuhei who guarded the northern city secretly communicated with the northern army, and actually opened the city gate and introduced the Tang army into the city, this camp has been occupied by the enemy, let's go to Lulong first!" ”

Zhao Yanting couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "Where can I escape, the enemy has already caught up from behind!" ”

As he was talking, he saw that the pursuers of the Tang army had arrived, and surrounded the hundreds of battalions of state cavalry regiments under the city from three sides.

Seeing this, Zhao Dejun couldn't help but sigh: "God will kill me!" ”

This guy is also a bachelor, and after seeing Fu Yanqing, he threw away the weapon in his hand and dismounted to be bound.

Fu Yanqing saw that Wu Congzhi was still sitting on the horse, and said again: "Your general has already been bound, don't you surrender?" ”

Na Wu Cong admonished: "The general is kind to a certain person, if Your Majesty promises not to hurt my family's general, a certain person is willing to die for Your Majesty!" ”

Fu Qing sighed when he heard this: "There are not many loyal people like you, you can get off the horse, I promise you that you will never hurt General Zhao's life!" ”

After hearing Fu Yanqing's words, Na Wu Congzhi bowed to the ground, kowtowed and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the general!" ”

Fu Yanqing seized Yingzhou, entered the city for a while, and heard that the Son of Heaven had ordered Fu Xi. An Xianqi led the infantry army to besiege Luanzhou, and personally led 60,000 cavalry troops to cross the Luanhe River overnight, and camped in Yifeng, south of Lulong Mountain, waiting for the Khitan army to attack.

On the nineteenth day of the lunar month, at noon, on the east side of Heishi Mountain in the southeast of Lulong, the sun after the heavy snow was particularly dazzling.

The wolf smoke was everywhere, and the war horses were galloping.

The southern part of Lulong was a rolling hilly and mountainous area, which was not conducive to cavalry warfare, and the Tang army deployed the infantry army west of the Luanhe River and around Luanzhou City. Li Qi personally led 60,000 cavalry troops to the east side of the mountain, intending to attack Lulong from both sides. After learning the news that Yingzhou was lost and the back road of the army's grain and grass was cut off, Yelu Deguang was like thunder, scolding Zhao Dejun and his son in his mouth, while ordering Yelu Jilie and Yelu Tira to lead 30,000 cavalry troops to quickly rush to the aid of Yingzhou.

The 6,000 musketeers took advantage of the terrain of the Black Stone Mountain to resist the onslaught of the Khitan Yelu Lie and Yelu Tira's cavalry. This was the first time that the Musketeers were put into the battlefield on a large scale, and they were used in war, and a large amount of smoke and flames caused by the burning of gunpowder could be clearly seen more than ten miles away.

The fierce sound of gunfire once completely overshadowed the shouts in the rush and became the main theme of the battlefield.

Yelu Jilie and Yelu Tira each led 15,000 cavalry troops to line up on the plain on the side of the mountain, although they could not understand why the Tang army placed an army formation composed of less than 10,000 infantry troops in the middle and placed the cavalry on the flank.

Although the Tang infantry army lined up on the low hills, which was a bit unfavorable to the charging cavalry, Yelu Jilie did not think that the infantry army of less than 10,000 people could withstand the charging of his cavalry.

As the horn sounded continuously, the three thousand Khitan cavalry began to slowly leave the array and gradually accelerated forward.

When the two sides were about 600 meters apart, Jeruzabari, who was the vanguard general, suddenly shouted loudly, took the lead, and took the lead in the charge. Three thousand Khitan armor cavalry, like a huge arrow, rushed towards the phalanx of the Tang Army's musket army.

Behind them, the 5,000 cavalry corps, which was the second assault force, was also slowly pressing.

Three thousand cavalry charged, causing thunder on the icy land.

"A platoon of preparation!" The commander He Feng, who was in the center of the gunfire array, raised his command knife only after the Khitan cavalry began to charge.

In the regular discipline, the musketeers should be in the military formation at the same time as the artillery.

It's a pity that due to the heavy snow on the ground and the inconvenience of artillery transportation, they were all left in Youzhou.

At the moment when the Khitan army rushed into the 200-meter range, He Feng swung his sword hard.

"Let it go...... Second row ready! ”

The muzzle of the gun spewed fire, and the battlefield exploded violently as if it had been lit with firecrackers, and the smoke of gunpowder rose and enveloped the front of the army. As rows of bullets rained down on the charging cavalry, the horses screamed, and the riders on the horses fell off their horses......

"Put!"

"Woohoo! ……”

A long row of muskets exploded, and the entire Tang army array was shrouded in a layer of cyan smoke, and each row of six hundred muskets spewed flames almost simultaneously, and the Khitan cavalry array that was surging suddenly was stunned, blood splashed everywhere, and the wounded war horses were screaming miserably, scurrying in the snow.

"Ready...... Put! ”

"Woohoo! ……”

The smoke of gunpowder was rising, and less than half of the 3,000 iron cavalry in the first wave of charging were left, and the wounded horses that overturned and scurried in front were hindering the speed of the cavalry behind, so that they could not charge at all, and only the part of being passively beaten.

Yelu Jilie, who was watching the battle from the rear, opened his eyes wide in surprise, and after seeing that the three thousand elites under his command had no possibility of rushing in front of the other party, he gave the order very decisively: "Blow the trumpet and retreat!" ”

It's a pity that he then heard a frightened shout: "General, the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom!" ”

Then, I heard the scouts on guard around the area blowing the alarm horn.

When he turned around, he saw that in the northeast of the mountain pass, the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom rushed out from the inside, waving flags, horns, and shouting to kill shocked the four fields!

Jerodira's army remained intact, but the relenting forces were in disarray.

Bang! Phew!

The first group of charging Don cavalry, after throwing the gunpowder bag in their hand, immediately turned to the side. The gunpowder bags exploded in the military formation, making the already chaotic Khitan cavalry formation even more chaotic.

The veteran Xia Luqi personally led more than 10,000 armored cavalry to directly rush to the Khitan cavalry formation.

No more!

Jeru's first instinct was to turn his horse's head and run......
