Chapter 310: Both Civil and Military

The handsome flag belonging to Xiao Hui moved, which was what Yeli Rongxing was looking forward to the most, because the action of the military flag would directly determine the action of the coach, and any party that moved first would give the other party a chance to make targeted arrangements.

This also depends on the timing, because the changes in the battle situation are different, Yeli Rongxing is already in a very dangerous state, he also found that something is wrong, and was about to retreat, but there was no way, he was targeted by Xiao Hui, the main force of Xiao Hui's army, facing him, rushed towards him regardless of losses.

This change is the most important and critical change in the entire war, and the balance of victory has obviously tilted towards the Liao army.

Xiao Hui rode on a horse, under the escort of the personal guards, slowly moving forward, as the main general, he was over sixty years old, he no longer had to charge forward, he walked out of the army, and under the bypass, he was a relatively alternative commander.

Xiao Hui's eyes have always been on Zhou Wenxiu's thousand-person team, Zhou Wenxiu's bravery exceeded his imagination, in a sense, Zhou Wenxiu is the biggest surprise of this expedition, but he is looking forward to his performance.

Yongwu has already seen that if it is simply the three armies of Yongguan, in the entire Daliao, there are more than a dozen young talents who can compete with Zhou Wenxiu, but when it is the turn of the machine change and the control of the battle array, there are not many.

There is no way, the Liao State is established by force, and the strong force is the foundation of everything, from the family heirloom, or in the countryside, the warriors who search, with the huge territory of the Liao State, it is not difficult to get these.

But there are very few wise generals, the Northern Song Dynasty civilization is prosperous, these Liao countries know, but this envy is not, the foundation of the Liao State is force, even if you give up, ready to learn, it will not be completely changed, although the birth of Xiao Hui such a wise general, but the time paid is too much, the price is too much, almost can only rely on time, but can not produce in batches.

"Hopefully, you won't let me down!" Xiao Hui let out a long sigh and stared intently at the battlefield.

What he hopes is that Zhou Wenxiu can adapt to the situation, but he can't completely put his mind on this, if the whole battle fails because of this, it will be worth the loss.

On the battlefield, the change of the handsome flag is a big thing, why should the handsome flag be set up on the battlefield, isn't it a target?

But in fact, some of Shuai Qi's actions will tell these officers what is going on, and the generals who are experienced and have an understanding of military strategy and military formations will adapt to the situation and make different adjustments.

The chief officer on the other side is still fighting with the Western Xia cavalry, although he occupies a certain advantage, but he has not reached the overwhelming advantage of Zhou Wenxiu, his mind is simple, and he does not realize the purpose of the movement of the handsome banner, but he just feels that it seems that the camp is very good, and the main force can help him establish an overwhelming advantage faster.

Zhou Wenxiu knew very well that because he broke through two 3,000-person foot soldiers one after another, which not only caused a lot of losses, but also caused the mentality of the foot soldiers to be unstable, and also caused the distance between the foot soldiers and the surroundings to be stretched to 2 miles.

Two miles, for the cavalry, is only the time for the fast horse to charge, and it will soon be able to cross the distance between them, but for the foot soldiers, it will take a tea time at the earliest, and the slowest time, it will take a stick of incense.

When the main force began to attack, although I don't know what the outcome was, a total of 10,000 cavalry were restrained by their two thousand-man teams, respectively, 1,000 people, and the rest, about 7,000 to 8,000, only 1,000 differences, coupled with the advantage of the Liao army's combat effectiveness and Xiao Hui's command, Zhou Wenxiu made a decisive choice.

The long knife waved, skillfully turned in a circle, pointed to the other side, the position of the remaining foot soldiers, and shouted loudly: "Chong Chong Chong!" ”

The heavy cavalry accelerated rapidly, and the new heavy cavalry, using better armor, provided greater protection while also reducing weight, with a minimum weight of 30 kilograms.

Don't underestimate this 30 kg, 30 kg weight can allow the horse to charge at a faster speed, and ultimately get more lethality.

The cavalry led by Zhou Wenxiu began to rush towards the 14,000 foot soldiers, 1,000 against 14,000, a 14-fold difference, but the combat effectiveness of the two sides was completely different.

The first to bear the brunt was the 3,000 foot soldiers at the front, who were ready to confront the cavalry, and they hesitated because of the combat effectiveness of Zhou Wenxiu's troops, and this hesitation hurt them.

They didn't expect that with a distance of less than 400 meters, under the high speed of the fast horse, it only took a little time to rush towards the foot soldier, and then, without accident, this foot soldier collapsed again.

From afar, Xiao Hui, who has been paying attention to all this, nodded with satisfaction, sure enough, Zhou Wenxiu did not disappoint him, his performance, his combat effectiveness, and his ability to adapt to changes have surpassed the current young talents of the Liao State, and it is not in vain that he values him so much, and promoted him from an ordinary eight-rank civil official to the level of a thousand-commander, it seems that the overall situation has been decided.

Xiao Hui concentrated on Yeli Rongxing's body, this time Yeli Rongxing was unlucky, he faced endless attacks, some couldn't resist, 3000 iron harriers, whether to send them out, or not to discharge.

The Chinese army, led by Yeli Rongxing, became the target of the attack, especially the experienced Xiao Hui, how could it be impossible for the Chinese army to escape, at least, the most important iron harrier, most of them had to stay.

Yeli Rongxing smiled bitterly, an hour ago, he was still full of spirit and wanted to show his strength, wanting to defeat the Beiyuan privy envoy of the Liao State, Xiao Hui, the king of Han, but after an hour, he had almost no ability to resist Xiao Hui's troops.

Yeli Rongxing also knew that this battle was defeated, and it was a large-scale rout, at this time, even if he fled back, there was nothing good, so he simply fought to the death and did not retreat.

He left behind 1,000 Iron Harriers and the remaining cavalry, and the remaining 2,000 Iron Harriers, which were sent out in the name of escorting foot soldiers, in order to strike a decisive blow and try to reduce losses.

In this case, the 1,000 iron harriers left, as well as the cavalry, many of which are Yeli Rongxing's henchmen, they began a decisive impact on the premise of knowing that there is no possibility of survival, which was somewhat unexpected by Xiao Hui, and for a while, the battlefield situation was scorching.

From a distance, noticing all this, especially the 2000 iron harriers rushing towards him, Zhou Wenxiu grasped the other party's purpose, this is a method of killing two birds with one stone.

If Zhou Wenxiu misjudged and reflexively attacked the Iron Harrier, under the premise that the Iron Harrier was entangled, he would definitely be able to change the tide of the battle and eat their 1,000 people, and they would even have a chance to save the entire battle situation.

Finally, such an advantage was established, of course, it was impossible to let the advantage slip out of his mouth like this, Zhou Wenxiu knew that it was impossible for the 9000 cavalry to capture everyone, so he simply ignored the 2000 iron harriers, continued to attack, and rushed to kill among the infantry.

Killing a person as a thief, killing hundreds of millions of people as pride, itself, the mentality is unstable, and the momentum has declined to the extreme, was continued to attack and kill by Zhou Wenxiu, unloaded his last breath, and the defeat was like a mountain, becoming the last straw that overwhelmed the camel on the battlefield, and in the end, the defeat was like a mountain, and the foot soldiers completely collapsed, and began to turn around and flee.

Attacked by cavalry, the most feared thing is to turn around, confront head-on, maybe there is a chance, or dodge, or counter-kill, Zhou Wenxiu's troops, the total number is not much, only 1,000 people, 10 for one, can only be exchanged for 10,000 foot soldiers.

It's a pity that there is no if, in the face of heavy cavalry like killing gods, these are almost foot soldiers in their own strength, and they have no way to resist at all, and their rout and escape also represents the end of this battle.

The first to react was the 2000 Iron Harriers, they had the idea of stealing chickens, and now, when they saw that they couldn't do anything, they didn't hesitate at all, and then hesitated at this time, which was to give their lives to the end, which they were unwilling to face.

When the 2000 Iron Harrier left, Yeli Rongxing also lost the last hope of turning the tables, and there was no point in doing real drama and fake it, he directly ordered everyone to evacuate, how many ran as many as they wanted.

In the middle, of course, the cavalry has an innate advantage, as long as they are not entangled, as long as they run fast enough, and with some luck, they can escape quickly, but for the foot soldiers, it will be unlucky.

Two legs, can't run four legs at all, this is the foundation, and has broken through the three 3,000-man teams, only 11,000 foot soldiers remained, and after the 1,000 heavy cavalry at the other end outflanked in place, they chose to surrender.

Yeli Rongxing made mistakes again and again in this battle, and the biggest mistake was that he miscalculated Zhou Wenxiu's attack power, so that he made mistakes again and again.

In the last moment, he made the right choice, because he fought to the death, did not let the losses increase, and almost half of the cavalry fled.

In the wilderness, there was no first shovel fight, and the cavalry who were desperate to flee had no way to stop it, this was an iron rule, whether it was Zhou Wenxiu or Xiao Hui, they were all prescient, they just pretended to chase it, and when it was determined that they could not catch up, they chose to determine the spoils of war.

In this battle, the greatest loss was the Western Xia foot soldiers, in this hour before and after the battle, the foot soldiers were all wiped out, 9,000 were killed, 11,000 were captured, and only a few escaped.

The result of this battle, I am afraid that even Xiao Hui did not take into account at the beginning, from the contact to the end, in just 1 hour, it was over, their losses were minimal, and even as the main force, they defeated Zhou Wenxiu's troops with 1,000 cavalry and 9,000 foot soldiers, but they lost more than ten people, and their achievements were outstanding.

Under the command of Yeli Rongxing, the Iron Harrier lost 1,000, the cavalry lost 4,000, and even he himself committed suicide in the fight to the death.
