Chapter 547: The King of Cavalry
Chapter 547: The King of Cavalry
Among the topics chosen between killing the craftsmen of the Khitans and taking them away for their own use, Li Huaitang naturally chose the latter, and he should always get some dividends by working tirelessly to participate in the war, right?
Therefore, before the complete defeat of the Khitans, his actions were all bluffs, forcing the Khitans to 'engage'.
The Khitans were finally forced into the palace and hurriedly chased after them.
The two armies faced each other.
The mentality of both sides coincided, and neither had the will to rush into battle immediately. But suddenly in front of the horse formation, he intended to invite Li Huaitang to negotiate.
When the enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed.
The stalemate between glaring at each other was first broken by surprise.
"Jun Zhining is far away in the west of the Tang Dynasty, and my Khitan is in the east of the Tang Dynasty. Why do you aggressively 'force' people to come from thousands of miles to get along with me? ”
Li Huaitang smiled faintly and said: "The Khitan is not convinced by Wang Hua, so he has come to educate him!" ”
"You?!" But suddenly he almost blew up his lungs, and he finally managed to hold back.
"We don't have a conflict of interest, so why fight to the death? Well, let's talk about the conditions for your retirement. ”
But suddenly, it was obvious that he had softened and swallowed his anger.
Li Huaitang had an expression of oil and salt not advancing, and said: "On the day of the unconditional surrender of the Khitan, when I withdraw from the army. ”
But suddenly angry and screaming, is it bearable, but is it unbearable? Li Huaitang also only has one head, and there are not as many soldiers as him, since he is shameless, then he will see the real chapter under the blade!
"For the sake of your people, kill them all!"
But he suddenly retreated to his own position and couldn't wait to attack. He still has 20,000 men under his command, and it is not yet known who killed the deer.
Something unthinkable happened, Ning Yuan Tieqi didn't engage in battle, turned around and dispersed.
But suddenly, I don't understand the opponent's stupid moves, and the cavalry has always been beaten by the back, and retreating back and forth is equivalent to suicide!
Seeing the opponent's faint move, he was suddenly overjoyed and kept urging his subordinates to pursue.
The Khitan cavalry chased closer and closer, however, the last hundred or so steps seemed to be frozen, and they couldn't get any closer.
Suddenly, rows of feathered arrows flew out of the 'misty' dust, attacking the Khitans head-on.
A wave of feather arrows fell, and dozens of Khitan knights screamed and fell to the ground, most of them were very wronged, and there were no arrow wounds on their bodies, but they were affected by the war horses that were hit by arrows in their crotch.
Then the second wave of feathered arrows fell, and dozens of people were unlucky.
But he suddenly tried to put his body on the horse's back, and the arrows did not patronize his body for the time being, but he witnessed the tragic situation of the two personal soldiers around him falling off the horses, and ran quickly into the falling arrows, and the consequences can be imagined.
But suddenly there was also the idea of treating others in the way of others, but their war horses were originally inferior to speed, and riding on horseback to 'shoot' would affect the posture of controlling the horse, making their reluctant pursuit even worse.
The rain of arrows did not stop, one after another, and accurately fell into the formation of the Khitans. The 'archer' of the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry did not need to aim at all, and he probably 'shot' the arrow into the pursuers behind him, planted a wide range of crops, and patiently bled the Khitans.
The rain of arrows made the Khitans hate them so much, and their desire to dismantle their opponents was unprecedentedly strong, and they became more and more energetic the more they chased them.
Gradually, Ke suddenly realized that something was wrong and was afraid. Each round of the opponent's arrow rain can always directly kill and injure dozens of people, and as for the second trip, although it seems that the loss each time is not large, the cumulative casualties are considerable. If he continues to pursue in this way, even if he finally catches up with his opponent, I am afraid that more than half of his 20,000 people will have been killed or wounded.
"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!" But suddenly there was no choice, so he had to sacrifice his speed to take the bow and counterattack.
But suddenly he 'shoots' an arrow out of hatred, but the arrow falls behind the opponent. Most of the results of the Khitan knights' imitation were like this, even if they reached the opponent, they could not inflict fatal damage on the opponent. There was no way, the target was the cavalry that kept running forward, and they were more than a hundred paces apart, and their arrows were like the end of a strong crossbow.
No way!
But suddenly he didn't believe in the gap, and released several arrows in a row, but the result was still zero.
An oncoming arrow, stuck in his armor, gave him the right answer.
But when he suddenly pulled out the arrow, he tore a piece of his armor.
"What kind of arrow is this?" But he suddenly looked at the Mitsubishi-shaped arrow in his hand, extremely frightened, in terms of weight, Ning Yuan Tieqi's arrow was heavier than his arrow, heavy in front and light in the back. He felt that perhaps for these reasons, the effective 'shooting' range of the opponent's bow and arrow was longer than his, and the lethal power was also greater.
The arrows equipped with the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry were developed by the Armed Forces, and the Mitsubishi arrows that have undergone thousands of tests have just the right weight distribution to achieve the best 'shooting' range, which is two percent farther than the traditional arrows.
The price of the gap is life and blood, and the Khitans are paying for it.
Stop! Stop! Stop!
But he suddenly figured out the key and immediately stopped the pursuit.
The huge team has significantly lost weight. Counting the number of people, there are nearly two thousand fewer riders!
But suddenly hated and feared, and without even 'touching' the opponent's skin, the lives of the two thousand warriors disappeared worthlessly!
The Khitans stopped, but Ning Yuan Tieqi was unwilling to stop there, and turned around and killed back.
Kill!
can suddenly grit his teeth and kill head-on.
Escape!
Ning Yuan's iron cavalry did not give the Khitans a chance at all, they rode in pairs, completely controlled the initiative on the battlefield, and the Khitans were like separation.
can suddenly be quite depressed, chasing, can't catch up, and is constantly killed by the opponent; Escape, there is only one dead end, and the opponent's horse is fast and many; If you don't chase or escape, it's even more terrifying, Ning Yuan Tieqi seized the opportunity to step forward with a round of accurate and ruthless crossbows, and after completing the homework, he got on the horse and left......
After half a day's work, I was shocked to find that the loss had reached an astonishing more than 5,000.
It's so shameless! can suddenly cry without tears in 'desire'.
troops, the two sides have reached the same running line; Morale, however, represents two extremes.
The arrival of the night 'color' gave Ke Yu a breathing time.
In the camp of the Khitans, there was a sudden 'fierce' quarrel with the powerful Li Guozhu.
The two of them did not give in to each other about whether to retreat at night or give in to a night attack, but they suddenly leaned towards a night attack, after all, he cared more about tens of thousands of craftsmen; Li Guozhi wanted to stay in the green mountains and avoid the edge of Ning Yuan's iron cavalry, and the reason was also sufficient, to find reinforcements and then turn back to deal with the enemy, maybe he could also rescue the captured craftsmen.
The argument ended in vain, and Li Guozhi led 5,000 people to the west at night, regardless of the obstacles. Most of his tribe is in the west of the Horqin grassland, and what Li Huaitang wants to clean up is the eastern direction and belong to the forces that can be sudden.
Night raids are not the Khitans' specialty, but they are their only chance to turn the tables around.
The Horqin grassland is the territory of the Khitans, and they are familiar with every grass and tree here, plus they have experienced hunters as guides, but they suddenly feel that the odds are very high.
Maybe he should suddenly apply to the Tang Dynasty for patent protection for night raids, or maybe he didn't expect Li Huaitang to counterattack, and halfway through, the two armies met unexpectedly.
Practice has once again proved that the sense of smell of a hunting dog is better than that of a hunter's nose. Hundreds of steps apart, Ning Yuan Tieqi took the lead in attacking!
Although the Khitans heard the terrifying sound of the crossbow and were hundreds of paces away on the opposite side, they had no choice but to mount their horses and charge.
The indiscriminate flat 'shooting' of the strong crossbow left a large amount of "night 'fat'" on the grassland.
After the crossbow arrows, the feather arrows were fired in unison, and the target was unclear in the dark, but the number of feather arrows was huge and the coverage was wide, which still caused a lot of casualties to the Khitans.
The night attack turned into a 'melee' battle, with both sides lighting torches and fighting fiercely.
can suddenly be brave, take the lead, bow his head in time to avoid the sweeping knife, return to cut off the opponent's neck, the first result, can suddenly kill more intensely, and then swing the knife to slash the next opponent, "Bang dang!" With a bang, a sonorous bang, the result of the collision was that his scimitar broke in two. Ke Yu was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat, and the sharp Han knife cut through Ke Yu's 'chest' armor, almost disemboweling him.
Several of his own soldiers relieved him of the siege, but he was soon killed.
But he suddenly realized that he had no hope of victory, whether it was riding 'shooting', 'engagement' or 'hand-to-hand' combat, Ning Yuan's iron cavalry was also very powerful, and there was always a terrible gap between them. The Han knife is sharp, and the cotton armor is strong and light, which is not at all comparable to his equipment.
The battle ended with a cowardly escape that could be sudden, and the Khitans were instantly defeated.
Due to the 'color' of the night, Li Huaitang did not order the pursuit, waited for the sky 'color' to brighten, and under the guidance of the two sea holly, he rode out quickly, and frantically pursued the rout.
There is no market for poor Kou Mo to chase Li Huaitang, and the more the Khitans are eliminated, the less likely it is that they will fight back.
Ning Yuan Iron Cavalry after a midnight rest, people 'spirit', horses trembling, on the other hand, their pursuers, all hungry and thirsty, although they went two hours ahead, but they could not increase their speed due to the dark night, it didn't take long for Ning Yuan Iron Cavalry to catch up.
The pursuit is a feast for archers such as Hu Yijian and Nan Jiyun.
The literati are light, and the warriors are heavy. The most common way to honor is in jousting.
On the grassland, a 'shooting' killing game opened silently and tacitly.
Hu Yi's arrow horse was fast, and he took the lead first, and the enemy horse with a hundred paces in front fell off his horse and was killed with one arrow. Nan Jiyun's bow is strong, and the back hair is also 'colorful', and an arrow pierces the enemy horse from behind.
'Shooting' at the target is no longer a test item, and one move to control the enemy shows the true 'color' of the hero!
Hundred miles of pursuit, the two of them each with nine arrows to get nine results, when the arm strength is about to run out, Hu Yi arrow bow the left hand 'hand' to the right hand, and then take the arrow to cast.
"Haha, I'm defeated!" Nan Ji Yuntan 'swinged' and 'swinged', admitting defeat simply, he didn't have the ability to shoot the bow left and right.
The tenth arrow came out, and Hu's arrow sac was empty.
Nan Jiyun was still unsatisfied, pulled out the sharp Han knife, and was ambitious: "Compare the knife again!" ”
"Who's afraid of whom!"
"Kill!"
……
The night battle and pursuit totaled more than 8,000 beheadings, and the Khitan people were greatly injured, and the fighters who could fight in the direct subordinate departments were almost lost.
"It's a pity that I ran away!" Bai Xiaode deeply regretted it.
Li Huaitang didn't care, and smiled lightly: "Don't worry about him, our troops are divided into two routes, you lead five thousand light horsemen to the north, and I will go east to educate the thirty-six Khitan divisions!" ”
The fallen phoenix is not as good as a 'chicken', the Khitan people are not monolithic, but the sudden wings are all gone, and his internal competitors will take his 'life'. The most important thing now is no longer to clear the enemy's remnants of the stars, but to collect dividends and destroy their potential.
On the Horqin steppe, there are countless nomadic tribes, and when they heard that there was an invasion of a strong enemy, they all temporarily took refuge in the northeast and due east, and they all thought that they would wait for the enemy to retreat and then return to the pastures as usual. However, the will of heaven has never been difficult to ask, and the iron law of the unsatisfactory ten permanent ** in life has been reckless, and they think that the Khitan army is as strong as a 'chicken' and a dog in front of the invaders, and it took less than a day to be defeated.
