Chapter 429: Qianqiu Wins
"Prisoners, these Liangshan thieves are so hateful!"
Unsurprisingly, when Yelu Yu commanded three thousand Khitan cavalry to outflank him, one thousand Liangshan rode lightly and retreated.
But even so, the three thousand Khitan light cavalry under Yelu Yu still suffered a big loss.
This made the Liao cavalry, who had always been full of a sense of superiority over the Han people of the Southern Dynasties, more and more unacceptable, and they were all like frosted eggplants, and their faces were full of anger and frustration.
For more than 100 years, the cavalry of the Liao State has used this kind of "formation without fighting, retreating and taking advantage of it, and ambushing troops to cut off the grain route." The tactics of retreating shamelessly, scattering and reuniting", "each bow and cavalry gathers violently, and attacks one side of the large array" to harass and deal with the Song army and hit its morale.
When the morale of the Song army was low, the morale of the army was shaken, and even the grain route was cut off, and they were ready to evacuate, the grassland cavalry of the Liao State regrouped and launched wave after wave of impacts, until they completely destroyed the opponent who had no heart to fight!
It was with this tactic that the Liao army firmly suppressed the Song army for more than 100 years, and the Song people did not have a temper at all!
But who would have thought that after these Khitan elite soldiers surrendered to the Song Dynasty, they would be attacked by the Song people's anti-thieves and the Liangshan thieves in the same way, and beat them to the point that they had no temper.
This gang of Liangshan thieves is really too evil!
First of all, their war horses were not inferior to the war horses of their three thousand cavalry of the king of the steppe, or even better.
Because since Yelu Yu defected to the Song Dynasty, he has traveled thousands of miles all the way, and the war horses under his crotch have not been taken care of very well, and they have already lost some fat, but the war horses of the Liangshan thieves are all fat and strong, and they seem to be all good horses in the north!
In addition to the cavalry bow of Badou, each of them was equipped with a cavalry crossbow that immediately used about one stone and five buckets, and a few officers and elites were also equipped with a divine arm bow that could fire continuously.
In this way, before the three thousand Khitan entered the range of their own bows, they had to suffer two or three rounds of arrow rain first, and the speed of the war horse was not dominant, how could this battle be fought?
Even Yelu Yujian is one of the few generals in Liao, an expert in cavalry command, relying on the numerical advantage to encircle the Liangshan cavalry in advance.
But this group of Liangshan thieves is like having clairvoyance, and they have discovered the movements of these Khitan cavalry early in the morning, and they can always rush out of the gap before closing the siege.
Even like the Jurchen cavalry, they directly formed a dense formation to attack the outflanked Khitan cavalry, and as a result, as soon as the two sides engaged, the Khitan cavalry, which was "convenient for bows and arrows, clumsy for swords and halberds" and had inferior armor, was suddenly crushed and defeated.
The straight lady thief, 3,000 Khitan elite cavalry against 1,000 Liangshan cavalry, actually lost more than 400 cavalry in one battle, but the Liangshan army only lost about 50 cavalry.
The exchange is more than eight to one, which is called always proud, at least in front of the Song people, how can the Khitan cavalry, who is full of superiority, not be depressed, or even angry?
"Dutong, there is someone here who is not dead!"
After a short confrontation, the Liangshan cavalry withdrew, and the task of cleaning up the battlefield naturally fell to the Khitan, and soon someone found a Liangshan cavalry who was crushed under a fallen war horse and had one leg broken.
Yelu Yu immediately rode his horse and ran over, and asked, "The warriors of the Liangshan Army, tell the general, how come you have so many war horses from the Northland?" And how can we understand the cavalry tactics of our Khitan steppe king? Or even the tactics of the Jurchens? ”
The knight of the Liangshan Army was still a young man of about twenty years old, and at this time, one of his lower legs was crushed by a war horse, and he was also hit by an arrow in his body-Yelu Yu saw that there was naturally no shortage of sharpshooters under his command who could shoot two or three stone bows, and he looked very painful, and he was bleeding too much, and his body was very weak.
At this time, hearing Yelu Yu's question, a smile suddenly bloomed on the knight's originally painful face: "The king of the bullshit steppe, his subordinates are defeated!" What are your cavalry tactics, this is the Liangshan cavalry tactics given to us by our military bishop! ”
Yelu Yu was not angry, and said: "Young warrior, you are seriously injured, and your wounds are still bleeding, as long as you surrender and tell me everything you know, I will order someone to treat your wounds, you are still young and very brave, you should not die like this!" ”
The young man had a sad and painful expression on his face, his name was Han Shuang, he was less than nineteen years old this year, last year he took his younger brothers and sisters to join the Liangshan Army, and when he first arrived in Liangshan, the three brothers and sisters could be said to be homeless people.
But in less than a year, the three brothers and sisters have their own home and land; As the eldest brother, he was also selected into the cavalry team, and became a squad leader little by little, and saved more than 200 savings for his family because of his bravery in battle;
And the matchmaker also told him a family affair in the Liangshan Textile Workshop, Han Shuang also met the little lady a few times, a very gentle and virtuous woman, Han Shuang was also very satisfied and had been hired, and said that when he was promoted to the team, he would get married when he went back.
Everything is so beautiful and hopeful.
It can be said that if it weren't for his bad luck in this battle and being chosen by the opponent's marksman, first one arrow to hit his person, and then another arrow to his horse, Han Shuang's future would be limitless.
Yes, he is still so young, his life has just begun, there are younger brothers and sisters at home, and the Hun family who has not passed through the door is waiting for him, and he is reluctant to leave them.
After a short period of sadness and reluctance, just when Yelu Yu thought that the young man in front of him would surrender and beg for mercy, Han Shuang's face once again showed a look of great pride.
His somewhat gloomy eyes brightened up again, and he looked at Yelu Yu with disdain: "Phew! If you kill your grandfather, you want your grandfather to surrender to you, your subordinates will be defeated, and you will surrender to Zhao Song's gang of cowards, but the faint monarch and traitorous ministers are not thinking! ”
Roughly because the arrow on his body hurt his heart and lungs, coupled with his emotion, a large amount of blood foamed out of Han Shuang's mouth, and his face turned pale and gray, only a pair of eyes still seemed to be burning.
He muttered: "The military master said that no one has died in life since ancient times, leaving Dan to take care of the sweat and youth, the men of the Han family should serve the country loyally, and return the body of the horse leather, I Han Shuang died for the country's conquest, and died as he deserved!"
You are treacherous, I am dead, and the Lord of the Lin Army will definitely avenge me! You Khitan, Zhao Song will definitely be wiped out! Even if I die, the green history will remember me, and my name will be on the martyr's monument, I didn't embarrass Liang Shanjun, and I didn't disgrace Lin Junzhu...... Xiaoshan, Erniang, you have to ...... well."
The flame in the young knight's eyes finally stopped beating, and his eyes lost all their brilliance, but he still had that proud smile on his face, as if he was mocking Yelu Yujian and the others for their failure.
"The ...... of the Mother"
Yelu Yujian's lieutenant was furious, and he pulled out his knife and was about to slash at his face, but Yelu Yujian stretched out his hand to stop him, he sighed, and his mood was complicated.
"It's a warrior, so it's a good life......
At the same time, under Bianjing City, in front of the Chen Bridge Gate, in the camp of the Liangshan Army, General Lu found Lin Chong and asked quite puzzled: "Brother, the imperial court is now fighting and not fighting, and there is no harmony, what is going on?" Why don't we just give them a real time? ”
Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, I wish you book friends a happy new year and all the best!
