Chapter 517: The Road to Death

On the vast land north of Nanjing, from a bird's-eye view from the air at this moment, you can find that behind a place where the fire is blazing, two infantry arrays are already in full array—Liu Tang and Qin Ming.

And between the three infantry arrays was the Khitan cavalry led by Yelu Yujian.

The latter is galloping at full speed, and the direction is clear, that is, to the northwest.

There is a city called Changping, and not far from Changping is Juyongguan. After passing the Juyong Pass and then to the north, it is the traditional sense of the outside of the Saiwai.

Yelu Yu didn't want to die, and he didn't want to bury all the thousands of cavalry in his hands. Now his only way to survive is Xiang Changping. Because Shunzhou in the northeast is not safe at all now.

Liu Tang and Qin Ming's infantry formation had no effect at all, the embankment only had a role when the torrent passed, and no matter how flooding and overflowing, the embankment was just a big wall.

They don't move, do they?

Of course, the infantry is not without any movement speed, but their speed is comparable to that of cavalry, that is, snails and rabbits. The task of Liu Tang and Qin Ming was not to block the Khitan cavalry, but only to force the Khitan cavalry into a predetermined track. Then the 1,000 Liangshan Iron Cavalry led by Yao Zheng will be like a train, rumbling over, giving the Khitans a painful lesson.

If Jerod could not resist retaliation, then they warmly welcomed it. Liu Tang and Qin Ming's task is to respond to Yao Zheng and even Li Ying. And as long as time is delayed, Hua Rong can lead the main cavalry of the Liangshan Army to give them a fatal blow.

And if Yelu Yujian continues to endure it, Yao Zhengbu will hang them like maggots on tarsal bones in the next time. From Beijing City to Changping, there are more than 70 miles, and there are 100 miles to Juyongguan. This time is enough time to spend Rong chasing.

Although Juyong Pass is one of the barriers of Nanjing City, it does not mean that there are many soldiers and horses guarding it. Hua Rong led the main cavalry force as long as he could catch up with Yelu Yu in the pass, then he could have a cavalry duel with Hongguoguo.

In the northeast of Nanjing City, 6,000 cavalry were rushing forward, with two horses and crimson battle flags fluttering in the wind. This is the cavalry of the Liangshan Army, and they don't need to look at it anymore to get out each other's identities.

A large cloud of black smoke rose from the sky in the distance, which was Li Ying's signal. Hua Rong's eyes were full of essence, he didn't want to break the Liao army under Baozhou City, he could still have the current opportunity to break the Khitan Iron Cavalry again, this is really jealous.

Not to mention anything else, in the eyes of the veteran Hu Yanzhuo, the extremely hot gaze is enough to explain everything.

Thousands of horses galloped, and the sound shook the sky. The dust and smoke rising from the horse's hooves cover the sky.

The black-pressed cavalry group galloped all the way to the place where the smoke column rose. Time passed little by little, and the hot sun made the green leaves bow their heads.

Yao Zheng, who was hidden behind a village, received an urgent report from Tanma.

"Report-" A flying horse came to Yao Zheng at a gallop, "General Yu, the cavalry of the Liao army was found in the south, fifteen miles apart. ”

In other words, the goal they were waiting for had arrived.

"Tell the whole army to prepare for battle—"

Yao Zheng's eyes also flashed, but it was not for anything else, but only for Xu Guanzhong's ability. I also know a lot about the geography of this Liao country, and I am even more sure that after the Khitan people know that something is wrong, they will not turn around and run back to Nanjing City, but will run all the way to the northwest. asked Liu Tang and Qin Ming to arrange it there, and asked him to lead his troops to stay here, and the Liao army was really forced to die by himself.

Looking at the figure of his subordinates galloping away with a belt of horses, Yao Zheng admired Xu Guanzhong in his heart.

The fifteen-mile road is not far away for the Khitan cavalry who are galloping on horseback, and they are also people with two horses. Before two quarters of an hour later, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder came to Yao Zheng's ears.

Yelu plunged into the ditch, but he didn't realize it was wrong. There is only one big road from the north of Nanjing to Changping, and the fields have already been sown, and it is not a good road until April. But this did not mean that there were no other roads for the brigade's banner cavalry to reach Changping. Excluding those trails that were not suitable for a large number of horse troops, there were quite a few such roads. Liang Shanjun taught him to go straight to the avenue, so that Liu Tang and Qin Ming's two armies cut off one and two, and cut off four, five or six, so he naturally chose the third.

In this way, Yelu Yu could not imagine that he would be ambushed, and he could not see that behind the village, less than a mile away in front of him, there would be a thousand neatly arranged Liangshan iron horsemen.

A thousand cavalry were divided into ten teams, leaving no one behind, and the whole army attacked!

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The sound of killing instantly resounded through the four fields.

"What's going on?" Yelu Yu, who was bent on fleeing for his life, was shocked, and his escape to the northwest became an obsession. As a result, when he suddenly heard the shouts of the Han people and the sound of horses' hooves like thunder without warning, how could he not make Yelu Yu shocked?

However, time did not allow him to think about it. Under the sun, the enemy was rushing towards him as fast as thunder, and their position was very favorable, like a sharp blade, plunging into the unsuspecting flanks of the Khitan cavalry.

With such a short distance, it was impossible for the Khitan cavalry to turn in large forces, nor could they divert many cavalry to resist, and they were destined to receive a heavy blow. This is the cavalry, and when the flanks leak, they are more vulnerable than the infantry.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack—"

"Quick, turn around and meet the enemy—"

More than 4,000 Khitan cavalry had been pulled into a long snake during the long gallop. How can it be instantaneous? At most, they would form a small scattered group of horses, so that they could turn around. Like the legendary thousand-legged snake.

However, the millipede divide into worms, and together they become snakes. How could this small group of horse troops defeat the Liangshan army?

The combat effectiveness of the cavalry is closely related to their speed. Without enough room to accelerate, the cavalry is just a puppet grass target on the training ground, vulnerable to attack.

And how long does it take for a horse to travel less than a mile?

Later generations of British thoroughbreds were among the best on the racetrack, and although they were tough and durable, they were the fastest at sprints. It takes just over 53 seconds to 1,000 meters, and less than 94 seconds to 1,600 meters.

Of course, the current Liangshan Army war horses are not as good as the 'battlefield waste' that the thoroughbred took hundreds of years to cultivate, but even if they are twice as full as the thoroughbreds, such a short distance only takes a minute.

And what can a minute do with a group of cavalry running at high speed?

Enough for them to slow down and then turn around, can they still speed up the sprint?

White shadows rushed through quickly, and then the entire Khitan army seemed to be cut in half for ten pieces, and it was a big mess in an instant.

The moment the two armies came into contact, the cavalry line that the Khitan army temporarily turned around and intercepted was torn apart, as if the glass was broken by an iron hammer.

The Liangshan cavalry that poured out like a tide swept by, and hit the Khitan cavalry hard, and the steel knife swung down, and a large number of Khitan cavalry fell to the ground.

And after the cavalry charged, in the place like a slaughterhouse of flesh and blood, all the corpses of men and horses were trampled to sparse pieces, and they were not human.

The brave Khitan cavalry is like a helpless lamb at this moment, at the mercy of others. A kind of murderous pleasure surged into Yao Zheng's heart!

The Liangshan cavalry was like an assassin who fled thousands of miles after a blow, and after slashing at the Khitan cavalry, he hit the horse and rushed into the distance. They did not take advantage of the chaos of the Khitan army at the moment to continue to kill and wound. Instead, within the sight of the naked eye, Yelu Yu saw a large arc from the side and rushed forward.

Yelu Yujian wanted to scold her mother. Although Liang Shanjun's actions seemed to let the Khitan army go, it actually put a heavy burden on all of them. The damned Liangshan cavalry is already galloping towards the road ahead, and they need time to reorganize and close the situation. Then naturally it fell behind this cavalry army. So who can guess when they will be ambushed for the second time on their way forward? This kind of psychology will slow them down considerably.

Don't say anything else, just Yelu Yu sees himself, and when he sees the village on the road ahead, why won't he have palpitations? In addition, there is also a Wenyu River between Nanjing City and Changping. This water originates from the foothills of the military capital of Changping, but it is not wide. Even some sections of the river can be crossed by a horse, but if they are grabbed by the Liangshan thieves, it is another difficulty.

If you see it, you will know that you are in big trouble!

"Let's go!" Roaring like a trapped beast, Yelu Yu whipped his horse whip and ran towards Changping again. At this point, he was helpless. I can only rush down!

In this way, Yao Zheng led the cavalry like maggots on tarsal bones, and the speed of the Khitan army was greatly reduced. Or ambush, or digging a trap on the road, sprinkling thistle, that is to make the Khitan army disgusting to death. And it is also in this state that their morale is constantly declining.

When Yelu Yujian finally saw the Wenyu River, the sun had already set in the west, and a remnant sun spread out on the water, reflecting the river water like blood.

The Khitan army was dumbfounded, and they knew that the blood-like river would probably be as red as blood in the near future.

Hua Rong had already chased behind him with six thousand Liangshan Iron Horsemen. The voice of Liangshanjun's surrender was already loud in everyone's ears: "Those who surrender will not be killed, those who surrender will not be killed!" And Jerod had no intention of coping with it.

Both armies were running all the way, and they were exhausted. However, the morale of the two cavalry armies was very different. One is godless, and the other is like a rainbow.

"Kill-" Xiao Li Guang did not ask people to continue to surrender, but shouted to kill, and in an instant, the Liangshan cavalry roared: "Wan Sheng!" Six thousand horses spread their hooves at the same time, and the earth shook at this moment.

Yelu Yu saw that he could only rise up and fight against the water.

But he himself was not confident in this battle. He regretted why he fled to the northwest, he knew that this was the case, it was better to fight to the death under the city of Nanjing.

However, Yelu Yu finally escaped, and fled to the northeast with more than a thousand remnants. Hua Rong didn't chase after him, because it was already dark.
