Chapter 504: The enemy in front of you, but it's the Khitan
Lu Qian glanced at Tian Hu, his eyes had an inexplicable taste, and he didn't need words to see Tian Hu's eyes shrink suddenly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Yanyun is the old land of my Central Plains, not the frontier rock of the alien race, Jingdezhong Song Zhenzong Xun is also cowardly, the Song court made a mistake and made a peace treaty with the Khitan, resulting in the loss of the shape of the Middle Earth, and the pitch is not free. It also engraves the people, bribes silver and silk, the country is ashamed and the people are poor, and in the past hundred years, I have been called a person with lofty ideals in the Central Plains, and the blood is heartbroken, and I sigh more than once. Now Liaojin is fighting, the real snipe and the clam are fighting, and a certain is also like the preface of the king of Jin, who wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so as to sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman. Due to the situation, the big tart felling, with the shame of snow for 200 years, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. ”
"I think that the Khitan has been weak for a long time, and there is a land behind it, how can I be my elite teacher? It means that as soon as the army comes out, it can be like a bamboo, and after a few sections, it should be solved. Such a good opportunity can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I also taught the brothers to make up their minds early, teach the war in shame, and work together. In the future, the good precursor is easy and Zhuo, sweeping Ying, Wei, Yan, and Yun are at your fingertips, and the front and back of the mountain will all belong to the territory of my China. The brothers also established this immortal achievement, which should go down in history and be passed on by future generations for thousands of years. ”
"But I don't want this Liao country to be so weak ......"
Lu Qian said and pointed his hand at the battlefield, with a touch of disgust on his face. "As the King of Jin said, how can this Khitan be so powerful as it can compete with the Jurchen emerging powerhouse? However, at this time, if the army went north and pointed directly at Youyan, it would be too cheap for the Jurchens. I only saw a series of heads hanging on the head of the city, Lu Qian became a soldier who defended the city and died to death, and was used by the Khitans to scare him, but he didn't know that the Liao army had washed the city of Baosai with blood, and more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians were killed in the city.
On the battlefield, a team of heavily armored spearmen entered the battlefield with a spear four feet long. There are two rows of sword players in front, and the next row is full of armoured soldiers with spears.
This is the regular soldier of the Liangshan Army, a neat 500 people, 25*20 array. Look at the banner, it is under the rule of the Left Army Governor's Office.
Tian Hu's army was also preparing, led by the fierce general Shan Shiqi in his army, behind the spear battalion, a full 2,000 people. The only problem was that at a glance, their queue was even looser than the Khitan Han soldiers opposite.
"Kill—"
The sound of high fighting sounded, and the two columns of sword players turned into a steel city wall, rushing straight towards the Liao Han soldiers on the opposite side, and the spearmen who followed behind them also let go of their steps in unison, leveled their spears, and placed them behind the swallowtail long card. The spears of the soldiers in the front row are flat in the direction of the attack, the soldiers in the second row tilt their spears slightly upwards in the gap between the soldiers in the front row, and the soldiers in the following phalanx in turn tilt their spears forward and charge with the soldiers in the front row. The array is rigorous and meticulous, and the soldiers are in unison, so as not to scatter.
If so, this battalion armor is a hammer that slammed towards the Han soldiers of the Liao army, and the iron leaves of the battle armor made a loud noise in the running, and when the two armies officially collided together, the screams of people and the symphony of gold and iron instantly became dense like a torrential rain.
In the midst of the chaos, Zhang stepped forward with his left leg, leaned forward slightly, and reached forward with both hands at the same time to send the spear in his hand, stabbing as fast as lightning. Since the Liangshan army entered Hebei, he first raised troops in Xiangzhou to 'respond', although the strength is very weak, but with such merits, he can also seek a place in the garrison of Zhangde.
But Zhang Yong was unwilling to stay in Zhangde, even if he had to be transferred from the garrison battalion officer to the team officer after entering the main army, Zhang Yong was also willing to do it.
Today was the first real battle he had ever fought in the army, and the four-foot-long spear he used was naturally not easy to use, but it did not mean that the spear was not at all threatening in his hands. There was a sluggish feeling in his hand, and he accurately pierced the neck of the Liao soldier, piercing the gun and collecting the gun, and the whole action was clean and neat.
The Liao soldiers barely dodged his assassination, clutching his neck and falling to the ground. But that's not the end, it's just the beginning. One person died, and the follow-up continued to make up for it. Zhang Yong is another stab, straight through the heart and lungs.
But the war is about death, and at this moment, the Liao army made up for it again, but it was a knife player. This man was fierce, and his hand checked the spear that had pierced him, and he walked in two steps, and slashed at the neck of a spearman next to him, and the spearman howled, and the blood on his neck spurted out like a fountain, and his entire head was about to be cut off.
The man slashed down, and he wanted to continue to make contributions, Zhang stabbed with two spears behind him, forcing the man to retreat. Zhang Yong had pierced the man with a spear, stabbing the man in the chest and abdomen, and the sharp spearhead nailed everyone to the ground. It was difficult to pull out the spear for a while, so he simply dropped the spear, and pulled out a short two-foot-long iron whip from his waist, and turned his body to the side, avoiding a spear that stabbed him. Rubbing his body and rushing in, the iron whip swept, the skull splashed, and another human life was added to his hand.
On this kind of battlefield, there are always brave men, and short soldiers also have their own unexpected advantages in a regiment of long soldiers. Zhang smashed the skulls of the three people with an iron whip in his hand, causing the Liao army in front of him to force back, and the comrades behind him would naturally take the opportunity to pounce and stab with spears, leaving the three or four people in front of him on the ground.
Just like Zhang Yong, the melee soldiers on both sides tossed and turned in the stabbing and slashing of spears and broadswords; Repeatedly shuttling in the forest of spears and spears, the one who rushes over with a blow can make a contribution; But if he was slightly distracted and negligent, he couldn't estimate it, so he was divided by the opposite side.
The battle line had been slaughtered, and more and more soldiers threw themselves into the middle ground, and the hoarse howls of the wounded resounded through the battle line.
The wide and dense contact area brought heavy casualties, and both sides lost their forces quickly and moved forward one after the other. Soon, the huge casualties and investment made Wu Yanguang hesitate.
Woe will come down like this.
The Han soldiers in Zhuzhou were unbearable, and he knew it. At the current speed, I am afraid that only one left flank force is needed on the opposite side to force out all the Han soldiers under his command. Wu Yanguang regretted it, and he underestimated the nest of grass coquetts. Endless remorse was like a poisonous snake, unconsciously devouring his heart—even if he knew it didn't work.
Who would have thought that the combat power of the Liangshan Army would be so strong. The infantry army competed, and the troops on both sides were equal, but the Liao army and Han soldiers were defeated and retreated.
The horn and flag danced, and Lu Qian issued the order again.
"Forward—" Han Bolong shouted.
Suddenly, another main legion, the five battalions of armored soldiers were ordered to move forward, the war drums were beaten, and with the beat of the drums, 2,500 people stepped on the steps and rushed forward.
From the high platform, such a phalanx, neatly forced up, is like an iron fist.
In the current situation, once the troops are put into the battlefield, it will be difficult for Lu Qian to adjust them, and the means of communication will not allow it at all.
Their fate will either be victory or collapse.
The rolling iron stream approached, like a surging tide, and hit a weak point of the Liao army. The clouds are the weakest there. Suddenly, the sound of fighting became one, and the Liao army's array trembled, and it was knocked down to a corner.
"Father!" Wu Yan Yanshou shouted nervously.
"Tell Chu Mingyu and Cao Mingji to lead five thousand Danzhou troops forward."
If someone keeps falling, someone must keep filling in, otherwise a rout will lead to a final defeat. Wu Yanguang didn't know what the domino effect was, but he knew what it meant to destroy the embankment of a thousand miles in an anthill.
But it is impossible to withdraw now. Even if they have Baosai City as a follow-up, they are helpless. Once a large-scale battle is formed on the battlefield, the fight is whose blood will be shed first. Retreating can only lead to a great rout of the whole army.
Lu Qian's tactics are very simple, that is, to press up in a dignified manner, collide with a large amount of infantry troops, exchange injuries for injuries, and exchange blood for blood.
Their quality is still very strong, and their combat strength is obviously superior to that of the Liao army and the Han soldiers.
This loss is mutual, who is superior and who is inferior on the battlefield, just by looking at it, it is very clear.
Lu Qian also had a phalanx of fifty or sixty thousand infantry and cavalry, a team of infantry armor, light and heavy cavalry, all neatly arranged.
As for the Liao army, Wu Yanguang only had seven or eight thousand Han soldiers left in his hands at the moment, and there were less than 10,000 infantry troops left. Could it be that the other 10,000 Khitan cavalry can defeat the 40,000 or 50,000 Liangshan army foot cavalry? After seeing the combat strength of the Liangshan Army, Wu Yanguang and the others did not have this confidence.
The number of troops they dispatched was not as large as the Liangshan army, and the Khitan cavalry, together with the Han soldiers in Zhuzhou, was only forty or fifty thousand. This is already the best of Liao's efforts.
Guangxin, Ansu and even Baosai City needed to leave some men to garrison, and the Liao army that went out to fight was only 40,000 cavalry.
Wu Yanguang was full of confidence earlier, thinking that he could sweep the Liangshan army with only 40,000 cavalry, but now, he has to go with more than 100,000 people.
20,000 Han soldiers of the Liao army fought against 20,000 Lutian coalition army, and the mistake was not that there were a lot of Tian Hu troops in it, and these people were not strong enough to fight, and the Han soldiers of the Liao army in front of them were probably broken by the Liangshan army.
The dignified and upright array team, on this open road and vast field, crushed the past head-on with absolute superiority, and no one could crack this tactic.
Unless there is really a god and Buddha to protect the Khitan, otherwise, the defeat of Wu Yanguang in this battle has been decided.
"Wuyan is all in charge, how can this be done?" Seeing that the Liao army was gradually disadvantaged, Yelu Dongxian couldn't help but ask.
Wu Yanguang had ruthless strength, seeing this situation, he first looked up to the sky and laughed, and said sharply: "I still have tens of thousands of Khitan elite horsemen, and I should fight to the death with thieves!" ”
In any case, Wu Yanguang would not sit idly by and watch the 30,000 Han soldiers die. He wants to fight, and the biggest capital is the tens of thousands of Khitan cavalry he holds in his hands.
"The Liao army is declining!"
On the high platform, Lu Qian naturally saw the current battlefield scene, the Liao army can still support it now, but the decline has been obvious, and the only capital they have to turn the tables is the 10,000 Khitan cavalry.
Thinking of this, Lu Qian gave an order: "Pass the order to Bian Xiang and Fang Xuedu, and teach them to lead the department forward." ”
At this time, it is very simple to make a suitable choice, Lu Qian only needs to arrange his troops to move forward, and little by little he will include the Han soldiers of the Liao army into the battle array, diluting the vitality of the Liao army. In other words, forcing the Liao army Khitan soldiers to take the initiative to attack.
"Command the whole army, be ready for battle, bow wound, sword out of sheath, do not slacken."
"Knock knock knock ......" in the battle, all the war drums were beaten heavily.
The inspiring drums immediately shook the spirit of tens of thousands of cavalry troops, and the cavalry who were lined up on both wings, dismounted and sat cross-legged on the ground to watch a battle in front of them, their high fighting spirit was also more intense.
Lin Chong was not there, Lu Junyi recovered from his injuries, and at this time, the cavalry in the army were led by Xiao Li Guanghuarong, the right deputy governor of the former military governor's mansion, and Hu Yanzhuo, the right deputy governor of Shandong soldiers and horses.
The former clenched the spear in his hand, the latter clenched the two sides in his hand, and both eyes were staring at the front of the formation. There was an invincible surge of battle in their chests, and waves of torrents kept pounding their nerves......
The enemy in front of him is Khitan.
