Chapter 503: The Battle of Qi Liao

Outside the city, drums and trumpets sounded.

50,000 infantry troops, more than 10,000 cavalry troops, and more than 60,000 Lutian coalition troops lined up outside the city. The Liao army was not to be outdone, Wu Yanguang's 'good words and persuasion' were ignored by Lu Qian, and the corner of the letter was written to send the King of Great Qi Lu to open it, and the Great Liao General Wu Yanguang sent a book. Lu Qian slapped the case and scolded: "I'd rather not know that people don't offend me, I won't offend people, if people offend me, I will offend people?" And he did not open the letter, but tore it up in tatters.

What did he say earlier? The Khitan people are taking his words as fart, how can Lu Qian not be angry?

Look at the tragic situation of Guangxin and Ansu, as well as the blood flowing in Baosai City, how can this revenge not be avenged?

It also happened to suppress the arrogance of the Khitans, teach them to be honest and honest, and take the opportunity to win the hearts of a wave of Hebei soldiers and civilians. Now that these thoughts were turning in his mind, he could think that Lu Qian didn't have such thoughts earlier, because he hadn't gotten so dark yet. But now that the facts are pressing, I have to think like this.

Of course, he can't collapse the Khitan in one fell swoop, that will only cheapen the Jurchens.

Therefore, he shouted to the book: "Listen to your words, you are also from the Central Plains, but you have no heart to be a lackey for other countries." You should have cut off your dog's head, and you should have given a warning for those who were disloyal to your family and country. But Sizhi wants to keep you, a thief, and go back to report the news, and spare your life. You go back and tell the thief to take good care of his dog's head, and grandpa will take it sooner or later. The Khitan Hulu generation has been weak for a long time, and it is in danger to play with the soldiers. The Jurchen is on his back, he hasn't thought about it yet, and he still wants to offend my Central Plains, and his grandfather will definitely give him a good look. As he spoke, he said to Lu Fang Guosheng, who was standing beside him: "Cut off the ears of this thief." When Guo Sheng heard this, he immediately pulled out his saber, cut off the ears of the person who came from the tent, and the soldiers forked him out.

In this way, there is only one side to compete. In addition to being furious, Wu Yanguang also hoped to teach Liang Shanjun a lesson, so that Lu Qian would know that he was powerful, so that he could take a bigger advantage.

The Liao army was sluggish in Baosai City for two days, and the follow-up Han army from Nanjing Daozhou also came one after another, with a strength of 40,000 or 50,000 troops. Wu Yanguang has a heavy army in his hands, and he is not afraid at all.

Even if there are many soldiers and horses in the Liangshan army, the Liao army is definitely not afraid. This is a field battle.

In this way, there will be no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses of the enemy and us who will be battled.

This is a very large number, 10,000 people are already boundless, what is the concept of 100,000 people?

How vast was the 50,000-strong infantry array?

Don't compare the posture of gathering and raising the national flag in the playground of the school to the battlefield formation. When Lu Qian was in middle school in the previous world, there were 7,000 teachers and students in the school, and a playground with a circumference of 200 meters was not filled. But at that time, the queue was so tight, and there was no queue between classes. And now? The distance between Yidu and Yidu is enough to open up three or two feet.

Archers, crossbowmen, broadswordsmen, pikemen, shieldmen, axemen...... And so on, the formation of a military formation requires the cooperation of all kinds of troops, rather than a dense column of soldiers standing in the form of piles.

The passages between the front and back, the spacing between different branches of the armed forces, the flags and drums, and the vast scope and scenes are by no means imaginable to the common people in the peacetime years of the 21 st century.

There were more than 10,000 cavalry troops on both sides, and the body of a horse was five or six feet long, and each of them had to be six feet apart from each other, and the distance between the arrays where only one battalion of horse troops was located was larger than a football field.

In this battle, Lu Qian's whole division moved to deal with the Liao army, which also had a large number of people. The only difference is that the latter is in the north of the city.

It's not that all the Liao troops are cavalry, but not the palace army, let alone the Han army in Nanjing Road.

Under the banner of the Chinese military marshal, the vultures are bald and wearing a fox hat, wearing heavy armor, a layer of chain iron armor, a heavy sea animal skin armor, and the outside is a chain gold armor, a gold painting iron tire bow on the left, and a phoenix feather arrow on the right. Wearing eagle-beaked cloud root boots and riding iron-spine silver-maned horses, it is not majestic.

The Liao army had no intention of attacking in a big way. Other troops are mostly infantry, a combination of infantry and cavalry, rather than a single branch of the army, and the horse army that comes and goes like a flying can only hold the weight calmly and wait for the enemy to send them to the door is the right way.

The formation is based on the city, and he doesn't need to worry about being copied from the back. The Liao army had to deal with only the threat posed by the Liangshan army from the frontal flanks.

Wu Yanguang looked at his opponent calmly. Although he and Lu Qian have not met, they have long been famous, and they have also been friends for a long time, and now they look at the arrangement of soldiers and horses opposite, and praise: "Majestic and solemn, it is really extraordinary-"

On the Liangshan army formation, you can see countless red flags lingering, showing layers of armored soldiers, all of whom are full of morale. On both sides are more than 10,000 iron horses, and the number is especially more than that of the Khitan elite horses, which is terrifying.

Not to mention that the phalanx listed here is neatly paced, all of them are as one, and there is no chaos at all. The array is still like a knife chopping and chopping an axe, neat and mighty, and the performance is shocking.

The mode of the large array is very ordinary, with the infantry in the center and the cavalry on both wings, which is simple. However, when a soldier's sergeant quality reaches a very high level, and when he can be commanded by the commander like an arm, it is this most ordinary, most versatile, and simplest formation that is the most troublesome.

"The Liangshan thieves are in a hurry, their morale is high, and their momentum is violent." Yelu Dongxian said in Wu Yanguang's ear.

The situation is irreparable, so you can only actively participate in it and not let the situation become the worst, this is the calculation in the heart of Yelu Dongxian.

"This battle is not what I want, and the thieves are deceiving people too much."

"Although there are more thieves than our army, there are Tian Hu's army inside, and the two are not the same. In this way, the strength of the enemy and our troops is as if it were one. If my soldiers are afraid of a nest of grass and do not come out of the city, they will be laughed at by the world! Wu Yanguang said in a deep voice.

If you have made up your mind, it will not be easy to change. Wu Yanguang still looked down on the Central Plains in his heart.

"Woo~~~~Woo~~~~"

The low horn blew, the dust flew, the dust covered the sun, and the sound of footsteps on both sides of the army was resounded.

Coincidentally, both sides gave birth to a heart of spying.

The whole army is in foot armor, and the left, center, and right are shouting slowly, fighting each other. A quarter of an hour later, the Chinese army and the right flank struck the drums, and the army stopped. Only the left flank stepped forward to engage in the battle.

Stepping forward to a certain distance, all of a sudden, the second army shouted almost at the same time: "Kill!" ”

In an instant, arrows flew up, and even if the armor soldiers at the forefront of the two armies were covered by long cards, some people fell from time to time. Screams rang out.

However, the two armies continued to approach, and for a while, the flags outside the city were unfurled, and the sound of killing was everywhere. The two armies fought fiercely, like two rolling iron streams colliding with each other, swords and guns colliding, rows of big spears and spears stabbing each other, and people constantly falling and people filling up.

In a battle of this scale, after the battle began, it was difficult for Lu Qian to command everything.

You can only sit back and watch the battle and horses divide the victory, or send troops to respond when your side is about to lose, or send troops to reinforce when your side is about to lose, and so on.

If you want to command Ruyi, it is impossible for me to advance and retreat. At least Lu Qian didn't think he could do it. After increasing his force to the top, he began to increase his command value.

Obviously, his 'sense of smell' is more sensitive during the war, and with his 'heavenly eyes', he can especially steal chickens in the general battle.

The two sides fought, and after two quarters of an hour, Lu Qian smiled. On the high platform erected by the wooden frame, Lu Qian, Tian Hu and the generals behind him said: "I have known that the Khitan monarch has been weak for a long time, but I have not seen its soldiers, and I don't know its depth. ”

It's only been two quarters of an hour, and the Liao army can't support it. Although Lu Qian also knew that the cavalry on the other army's array was the real Khitan elite, so what? The infantry of the Liao army was too bad.

Thinking about the battle with Tong Guan that day, the pressure given to him by the Western Army, and then looking at the moment, this Khitan is really in decline.

You must know that the Khitan Gongfen army with its own clan as the main force was completely defeated by the Jurchens in the battle of Hubu Dagang, and the current soldiers and horses in Liao are the first in the number of Hanzhou soldiers in Nanjing Province, and the soldiers and horses of Nanjing Province who are now confronting the Jurchens are the soldiers of each Hanzhou state; followed by the Khitan tribal armies, such as the Xi people; Finally, there are the remnants of the palace division army that have been gathered, as well as the newly formed cavalry army.

The latter is the most important thing, and as a vulture, this battle can only mobilize 10,000 horsemen, which can be known. After all, the tribal army seems to be quite a lot, but they are all 'militia', with limited combat power, limited numbers, and most of them are not Khitans, and their enthusiasm is poor. Most of them are prisoners of war who belong to the palaces, slave households who belong to the palaces and horizontal tents, or tribes newly formed by the tribesmen who have been defending a place for a long time after the population increases.

Small size, poor armament, poor motivation, and even worse combat effectiveness.

It is necessary to know that the main force of the Liao State is the palace guard of the Twelve Palaces and One Palace, that is, the so-called palace division army, they are the backbone of the Khitan army, and the tribal army is the servant who fights. But it was not as much of a relationship between Mongolia and the Manchus. The relationship between the latter is too fragile, looking at the late Ming Dynasty crossing in the previous life, the latter can only win the followers and support of the former when it is strong, but the latter will inevitably be alienated from it for the first time after being knocked to the ground again and again by the traverser.

The leaders of these Khitan tribes were appointed by the Khitan central government, which also had huge binding force. It's a pity that its soldiers are weak, far inferior to the palace army.

That is, the soldiers and horses of the six departments of the Xi Wangfu, and some combat power.

Since the Nanjing Daohan Army has been the main body of the Khitan Army, and now its main body of soldiers and horses is unbearable, the combat strength of the Khitan Army can also be worried.

Guns and arrows rained down, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

From a bird's-eye view from the sky, the military formations of the two armies advancing in a staggered manner must be a strangulation ground with blood and flesh splashing. The shouts and screams shattered the clouds in the sky.

In this battle of 100,000 troops, human life is the least valuable, and the sound of swords, guns, swords, halberds piercing armor and cutting human bodies is heard all the time.

The smell of blood that permeated outside Baosai City, no matter how strong the spring breeze was, could not be dispelled.

Wu Yanguang obviously couldn't watch the attacking right-wing army fall into a disadvantage and ignore it, this was not a small fight of thousands of people, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield.

If he did, he would have to commit more troops. Lu Qianzi is the same! In this battle, more and more troops were invested in each other.

"The Khitan people have carbuncles behind their backs, and the rise of the Jurchens has been carried out by Liaozhi's back, and I Tianhu have long heard of this. If it is faithful, I think it is two tigers fighting, and I just sit and watch the success or failure, and wait for the gap to move, so as to recover the clouds in one fell swoop. But today, seeing the Khitan soldiers, I changed my mind, so the Liao soldiers may be difficult to stop the Jurchen strong army, if the matter is blindly delayed, not in a hurry to use the army, for the sake of disaster for blessing, it is really unpredictable. If the land of the Hidden Swallow is stolen by the Jurchens again, it will be very inconvenient for my Middle Earth. Tian Hu's eyes blinked, and he said tentatively to Lu Qian. He wanted to know Lu Qian's next step, whether he would enter the Liao region here, or whether he would still send troops to the west later as long as the Liao State was beaten.

He has also recited these words for a long time, and now he is in the middle of his feelings, that Qiao Dao is halal and worthy of the national teacher.
