Chapter 272: The Infantry of the Battle of Moxi

The source of the sixteen cavalry battalions under Liu Ji is very complicated, a large part of them are Hu prisoners of war on the grassland, although after the training of the generals of each battalion, they already have a certain combat effectiveness, but compared with the Khitan cavalry, there is still a big gap, from the last battle with the cavalry army under the command of Yelu Amu, the Khitan right letter king, it can be seen that the cavalry of the Ju'an army is not as good as the cavalry of the Khitan tribe.

However, the infantry battalion under Liu Ji is a big killer in Liu Ji's hands, especially the infantry battalion is equipped with a long wooden gun to restrain the cavalry.

In this rescue of Moxi City, Liu Ji almost gave up most of his baggage, but the long wooden guns equipped with the four infantry battalions and the guard battalion were not abandoned, and they were all taken outside Moxi City.

Infantry was originally the foundation of the Jin State, and the soldiers of the twelve infantry battalions under Liu Ji were basically Jin people, so it can be said that each infantry battalion is Liu Ji's descendant troops, Gao Shun, Xu Rong, Li Xin, and Mengwu, the four infantry battalions, can be said to be the descendants of the lineage.

Gao Shun's infantry battalion doesn't need to say much, Liu Ji got the trapping camp soldiers from the system, and now the rest of the people are assigned to Gao Shun's command, in addition, the four infantry captains of Gao Shun's infantry battalion are Ding Feng, Cheng Yi, Zhao Ben and Shi Jingsi, all four of them are second-rate generals, Ding Feng's force is worth 79 points, Cheng Yi's force is worth 78 points, Zhao Ben's force is worth 78 points, Shi Jingsi's force is worth 79 points, Shi Jingsi is the eleventh Taibao in the thirteen Taibao in the last year of the Tang Dynasty.

Gao Shun is also a second-rate general, the force value is 78 points, although the new trap camp does not have first-class generals and top generals, but after the training of Gao Shun and the four infantry captains, the current trap camp of 8,000 soldiers, the lowest force value is also more than 30 points, plus there are real trap camp soldiers as the backbone, the new trap camp is said to be the strongest combat effectiveness among the twelve infantry battalions.

Xu Rong's infantry battalion, the four infantry captains are Yang Zhi with a force value of 78 points, Xu Ning with a force value of 79 points, Suo Chao with a force value of 78 points, and Kang Junli with a force value of 78 points.

Although the two infantry battalions of Li Xin and Mengwu were formed from the defenders of the original Shangyuan City, Liu Ji also attached great importance to these two infantry battalions, and deliberately transferred Li Cunxuan, who had a force value of 77 points, Li Cunxin, who had a force value of 78 points, Li Cunjin, who had a force value of 76 points, and Li Siben, who had a force value of 77 points.

Zheng Wei and Wang Ji, the two apprentices of Tong Bin, as well as the two third-rate generals Sun Ruyue and Niu Zhi of the original Shangyuan City, were also under the command of Li Xin and Meng Wu.

Liu Ji listened to Su Lie's suggestion, and did not send cavalry to join the frontal battlefield and fight hard with the Khitan cavalry, after all, he also knew that there was a big gap between the cavalry under his command and the Khitan cavalry in terms of combat effectiveness.

Instead, the four infantry battalions of Gao Shun, Xu Rong, Li Xin, and Meng Wu were asked to immediately move the lined battle formation forward, and then Liu Ji gave the order to the four cavalry battalions on the frontal battlefield to retreat to both sides.

At this time, the Khitan army had invested 70,000 troops into the frontal battlefield, and the four cavalry battalions of Chen Wu, Lejin, Yu Ban, and Pan Zhang had resisted very hard, and after receiving the order to retreat, the remaining soldiers of the four cavalry battalions were no longer entangled with the Khitan cavalry, and immediately retreated to the north and south.

Of course, at this time, a considerable part of the cavalry officers of the Ju'an army could not be withdrawn, and were besieged and killed by a large number of Khitan cavalry, the only fortunate thing was that the four cavalry captains and sixteen cavalry captains of these four cavalry battalions all escaped from Ascension and were not trapped in tens of thousands of Khitan cavalry.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Ju'an army was defeated on both sides, Yeluqi did not lead his troops to pursue, but continued to command a team of 70,000 people to rush to the main formation of the Ju'an army, as for the more than 32,000 infantry of the Ju'an army who had set up the battle array, Yeluqi did not pay attention to it at all.

More than 32,000 infantry officers and men of the four infantry battalions set up a long battle formation, consisting of 2,000 soldiers in the first row, and 15 rows of infantry officers and soldiers in the back of the battle formation.

The soldiers in the first row put up the rectangular shields on the ground, directly covering the whole person, and the remaining fifteen rows of soldiers also raised the smaller rectangular shields, forming a protective wall overhead.

In this way, the arrows fired by the Khitan cavalry into the infantry battle array can hardly threaten the infantry soldiers under the protection of the shield, even if there are arrows that get into the gap in the shield, they may be blocked by the armor, and the more than 32,000 Ji'an infantry are all armored, and many of them are still equipped with iron armor.

Seeing that their archers did not bring any losses to the Jin people's infantry battle array, the Khitan cavalry did not care, but urged the horses to rush to the steel battle formation composed of more than 32,000 tortoillary soldiers.

It's a pity that the Khitans haven't seen the infantry battle formation of the Ju'an army, and when the Khitan cavalry approached the steel battle formation less than twenty steps, there were many identical shouts from the battle array, "Vertical wooden guns!" "Wooden guns!"

Immediately, between the gaps in the rectangular giant shields in the hands of the soldiers in the first row, a long wooden gun stretched out, and four rows of long wooden guns were erected, that is, eight thousand, at an oblique angle of about 40 degrees to the approaching Khitan cavalry, which was from the second row to the ninth row of the battle array, two people controlled a long wooden gun, and tightly hugged the long wooden gun with their right arm, while their left hand was still holding the rectangular shield.

At this time, the infantry officers and men of the tenth to sixteenth rows put their raised rectangular shields on the ground, squatted down, and picked up bows or crossbows.

The Khitan cavalry saw the long wooden spear that was suddenly erected, but the distance of twenty steps was only a few breaths for the cavalry, and there was no way to stop at all, even if they held the reins of the war horse, they would be hit by the Khitan cavalry that followed closely.

"Puff-poof-poof-" Countless Khitan cavalry just crashed into the long wooden spear array, and the whole person was worn on the long wooden spear, and some of the long wooden spears also penetrated two Khitan cavalry at once, and some of the Khitan cavalry who were worn on the long wooden spear did not immediately lose their breath and let out a miserable wail.
