The five thousand Jurchen cavalry began to accelerate from the bottom of the ramp and rushed up towards the pass, and their speed was not much different from the charge on the flat ground. Strange cries came from their mouths, and the meniscus swirled overhead, reflecting a blinding glow in the sunlight.

In a matter of moments, they had already rushed up the ramp and reached the location of the Iron Spike Formation. The bed crossbows of the Falling Goose Army shot from all directions, but they could not stop the Jurchens' charge. The moment the hooves of the war horses stepped on the wooden raft frame laid down, the hearts of all the Jurchen soldiers and horses were relaxed. The war horse did not jump in pain, did not neigh and bite, but rushed forward as if it were walking on the ground. The wooden raft under his feet was trampled by the war horse and was deeply fixed to the iron thorns on the ground, which was more stable. The first hundreds of horsemen rushed through the iron spike formation barrier unharmed, and continued to charge in the direction of the pass.

Below, Yalu Buhua and the generals also nervously observed the situation, and when they saw the cavalry rushing through the ground unharmed, Yalu Buhua and the others also breathed a long sigh of relief.

"General Lu, this method really works wonders. I would like to inform you, Prime Minister Lu, and make a great contribution to you. Yaru said with a big finger.

Lu Zixing hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, as long as you can help the general, as for what credit, the last general didn't think about it." This is a responsibility. ”

Before Yalu could praise a few words, he suddenly heard the frightened shouts of the generals around him, and he hurriedly turned his head to look, but saw that the cavalry on the ramp was in chaos, and a group of people turned on their backs. The distance was very far, and although it was not very real, some horses could be seen rolling and twitching on the ground, and the momentum of the cavalry charging at the forefront came to an abrupt halt, apparently suffering from extremely strong sniping. The soldiers and horses in the rear rushed upwards unabated, and the soldiers and horses were crowded on the ramp two hundred paces away in front of the opponent's formation, and once again became a mess.

"What's going on? What's going on? Yaru asked loudly.

The news soon came, and the Jurchen cavalry that rushed forward encountered another iron thorn formation. Hundreds of war horses stepped directly on the iron spur formation, and suddenly people turned on their backs. Iron spikes pierced the horses' hooves, and the horses jumped and neighed wildly, rolling all over the ramp. The second iron spike formation was already about two hundred paces below the pass. At this distance, a strong bow such as the Iron Arm Bow could already be shot into the cavalry formation from a high place, and what was even more troublesome was that the thousands of archers of the Luoyan Army who were lying in ambush along the longitudinal slopes on both sides of the pass were already able to shoot at the Jurchen cavalry with impunity. Bows and arrows from three directions formed a dense crossfire, mercilessly covering the chaotic Jurchen cavalry formation. In a very short period of time, the Jurchen cavalry suffered thousands of casualties.

It is not surprising to be hit by a bow and arrow, and as a cavalryman, he has such an awareness. When charging, you will be blocked by the opponent's bow and arrows. But under normal circumstances, when the opponent's bow and arrow can hit the cavalry, it is also the time when the cavalry is about to rush in front of the opponent. At this time, what needs to be done is to speed up the horse and charge forward. Rush in front of the opponent's formation and you can slaughter the opponent

。 But at this moment, the Jurchen cavalry could not charge, and in front of them was an iron thorn array, and the charge was only to send them to death. At the moment, they are in a situation of being beaten passively in the same place. Stay a little longer, and there will be a large number of casualties.

"Retreat, retreat!" The leading Jurchen general shouted and ordered, and the cavalry immediately turned their horses and retreated down the ramp. It wasn't until hundreds of paces away from the range of the opponent's bow and arrow that he slowed down and regrouped his formation.

From the charge to the defeat, it took less than a stick of incense. In this short period of time, the five thousand Jurchen cavalry of the first echelon suffered nearly two thousand casualties. Above the hillside, wounded men and horses were everywhere rolling and groaning. One by one, the archers of the Fallen Goose Army shot them to death on the ramp with their bows and arrows.

There was a dead silence beside Yalu Buhua, and the generals were speechless.

"General, let's repeat the old tricks, and then make some wooden rafts to pave the road. I didn't expect the other party to be so cunning, and there was another stabbing formation. Fuck. One of the generals whispered.

Yalu Buhua jumped up all of a sudden, blushed and scolded: "What other party is cunning? It's that we're stupid. Damn, no one reminded Lao Tzu that the other party might arrange multiple stabs. You're all rubbish, all of you are a bunch of rubbish. No one reminded General Ben. A fart wooden raft? Who knows how many more stabbing formations there are? Besides, the ground stabbing array behind is within the range of the opponent's bow and arrow, so how many people have to die? Damn, it's irritating. Can't you attack this little pass? ”

The generals smacked their lips and said in their hearts: "You didn't think of this yourself, what's the use of blaming Lao Tzu?" Thou art the Lord, and is it not your duty to do such things? You're an idiot yourself, and the leader can't even think of this, who is to blame? That's your own incompetence. ”

"We have so many soldiers and horses, why do we have to be led by others? Since they have moved on this pass, let's not attack the pass. Our 70,000-strong army can directly attack the mountains and launch an all-out attack. The number of soldiers and horses in the Luoyan army is much smaller than ours, why don't you attack? I really don't understand. Ali Bai rolled his eyes and said coldly.

Yalu didn't want to scold Ali Bai a few words, but at this time, the cold words of this guy next to him were really annoying. But on second thought, what Ali Bai said made sense. Why do you have to be obsessed with the attack of the pass position. As long as the hillsides on the left and right sides are attacked, the pass will break itself, and the opponent will flee in confusion. However, the problem is that the cavalry on the hillsides on both sides cannot attack, and can only let the cavalry under their command turn into infantry to attack, which is a practice of abandoning the strengths of their own soldiers and horses to fight with their opponents, and they cannot do so unless they have to.

"Herald. Organize manual filling of mud bags. Felling trees takes too long, and it is more effective to cover the Iron Spike with mud packs. A large number of carts were mobilized to charge with the army, but all the pits and thorns were filled and covered. In this attack, it is only necessary to advance and not retreat. Yalu didn't spend a deep voice.

Ali Bai frowned and sneered: "Still rushing? Not enough people are dead, are they? The archers on either side will shoot our soldiers and horses into a sieve. ”

Yalu Buhua shouted coldly: "Alibai, since you know that the archers on the slopes on both sides of the pass pose a great threat, I will leave this matter to you to solve. I command you to lead your 20,000 men and horses to attack from the slopes on both sides of the pass. The purpose is to contain the firepower of the opponent's ambush manpower and ensure a frontal attack on the ramp. There must be no mistakes. ”

Ali Bai's eyes widened in astonishment, and he pointed to his nose and said, "You told me to attack the hillside?" ”

Yalu Buhua shouted: "What? Isn't that the way you came up with it? Who is going if you don't go? ”

Ali Bai said angrily: "You are a fake public servant, you want to harm Lao Tzu." ”

Yalu shouted without a sharp voice: "Alibai, this is a military order. Don't forget how the Great Leader explained to you, asking you to help me with all my might. If you dare to disobey my orders, hum ......"

Ali Bai sneered: "What? Kill me? ”

Yalu Buhua sneered: "It's not impossible to kill you. If you disobey military orders, resist and disobey, fear the enemy and do not fight, I will kill you, and the big leader will not blame me. Do you think the Grand Leader will tolerate your disobedience? Don't forget, you and I are going to win this trip, and once we lose, neither you nor I can explain it. If you don't want to get out of control, do as I say. ”

Ali Bai glared angrily, but he also warned himself that the hero would not suffer the loss in front of him. Yalu Buhua is the main general, if he really provokes Yalu Buhua, he kills himself for disobeying military orders, and he will suffer a dumb loss. Although the great leader will punish him afterwards, what is the use of dying himself? And this battle really can't afford to lose, the big leader mobilized such a large number of soldiers and horses to attack Niushan, it is precisely in the hope that this battle will lay the whole battle in one fell swoop. If he doesn't win this battle, the big leader won't spare himself and Yalu.

"Phew! If it weren't for the overall situation, I wouldn't have birded you. Do you think you can scare me? If I want to attack the hillside, I need to increase my manpower. Ali Bai took a mouthful of thick phlegm and said.

Yalu didn't want to go-for-tat, so he frowned and glared at Ali Bai, and looked around, and finally landed on Lu Zixing. Lu Zixing had already shrunk behind people, but he hadn't escaped his gaze. When Yalu Buhua's gaze fell on him, his whole body was half cold.

"General Lu Zixing, take your men and horses to follow General Ali Bai to attack the hillside on the flank and cover the attack pass. There must be no mistakes. "Yaru doesn't flower lane.

Lu Zixing didn't speak with a white face. Yalu shouted without a sharp voice: "What? Don't want to? Well, your 10,000 soldiers and horses will give me the ramp to attack the pass, and you will be satisfied now. ”

Lu Zixing almost fainted. Attacking the ramp is more dangerous than attacking the pass, and it is completely cannon fodder to be beaten passively. Lu Zixing hurriedly shouted: "No, no, the last general should follow General Alibai to attack the hillside." My soldiers and horses are from infantry, and they are also good at dismounting. ”

Yalu Buhua scolded a dirty word, and shouted coldly: "Okay, get ready for me." After half an hour, attack with all your might, and be sure to break through the pass in one fell swoop. ”
