When the Liao army realized that this method would not work, they killed more than 3,000 people, and later reported that the Qi infantry from the other three directions were surrounding this side, and the Liao soldiers and horses hesitated again, whether to attack the other three waves, or to break through the array in front of them with all their might.

In the end, looking at the corpse in front of the formation, Liao Qi decided to try it from other directions, looking at the Liao cavalry who was fighting and leaving, the Qi army array raised the red signal flare again, and now the Liao cavalry began to understand, this is to repay the credit of the other three soldiers and horses.

The other three roads got the news and began to prepare, each of the three roads had 50,000 horses, in fact, the four directions were the same, each road was 50,000 people, ten regiments, and the other three roads sent out to surround the personnel this time, and each road came out with 30,000 people.

Everyone thinks that to deal with the current remnants of the Liao State, 30,000 people are enough, and after the Liao cavalry left, the North Road also sent 30,000 troops to set off, and the infantry has always been weak to the cavalry, especially when they meet on the plains, basically the cavalry wins and the infantry loses.

The General Staff has deduced many times, and they all feel that when both sides are below 30,000 and above 10,000, the infantry can block the impact of the cavalry, and when the cavalry is below 10,000 and above 30,000, the cavalry can give full play to their impact advantage.

And now is a good time to test the results of this research, there are only about 30,000 Liao cavalry left, and the special terrain restricts the Liao cavalry, so that they have to fight the Qi soldiers head-on.

And there are still 20,000 people left in all directions to rely on the built defense line to resist the Liao cavalry who may escape, maybe it is a bit cruel to use people to do experiments, but if you don't try it now, you will encounter it in the wilderness in the future, it will be a real disaster.

As long as the corresponding data is obtained, then there will be a reference for formulating battle plans in the future, and according to the number of enemy cavalry, there will be a corresponding strategic reference basis for whether to go or stay, or to call for help and defend to the death.

It's just that this time the Qi army has an absolute numerical advantage, at least in order to prevent accidents, 20,000 Qi cavalry are ready to support at any time, so even if the 30,000 army is really defeated by 30,000 cavalry, then as long as the rescue is timely, the loss can still be bearable.

This terrain is very special, but it is not without room for cavalry to gallop, there are dozens of miles from the mud gu city in the south to the opening of the woods in the north, and the swamp in the east and the opening of the woods in the west are also dozens of miles wide, so the Liao cavalry can run here and there.

Liao cavalry finally chose to go west, only to the west can quickly return to Liao, get rid of the pursuit of Qi, to the south is the city, to the east is the swamp, when seeing the west of the 30,000 army formation of the large phalanx, Liao cavalry felt that if you want to go, you must quickly defeat this Qi soldier.

Because after bypassing, when they break through the opponent's defense, this force will definitely come from the rear to flank them, so the two sides have confronted each other there for only a quarter of an hour, and the Liao cavalry begins to charge.

Because of the limited time, this time the thistle terrestris could only be placed in two rows, and there were some scattered divisions within a distance of 100 to 50 paces, and 30,000 infantry were divided into regiments to defend the four directions, and there were two regiments in the middle as reserves.

The Liao cavalry decided to attack, and the 30,000 cavalry began to divide 20,000 to revolve around the infantry, the cavalry's tactics were simple, find the weak point of the infantry, and then break it with one blow, and the cavalry detouring could often put great pressure on the infantry, and then throw bows and arrows to confuse the enemy, and take advantage of the chaos to rush in and slash.

But now there is a problem that the Liao soldiers can't solve, that is, the range of their bow and arrow is only about 70 steps, even if they can shoot 100 steps with equestrian projectiles, but the arrows shot in this way are neither powerful nor accurate, but the musket on the opposite side is 150 paces.

And it is easy for people to shoot through leather armor at about one hundred and twenty paces, so the bow and arrow tactics of the Liao cavalry are not used, and after a few circles, the Liao cavalry still did not find the weak point, but they can't afford to wait, this time the Liao cavalry is ready to attack with 20,000 cavalry.

This is the third time that the Qi army has faced the cavalry impact of 20,000 or more, but compared with the previous two times, this time can be regarded as a real cavalry charge.

It's not just the musket, this time the Qi army also got new equipment last night, that is, the lion roar cannon, the so-called lion roar cannon is designed as the prototype of the tiger squat cannon of later generations, this kind of cannon is not far away, but he can shoot a large number of shots in an instant, in the era when there is no machine gun, you can use it as a machine gun, but the loading is too slow, even if it has been simplified, but it can still only do two shots a minute.

This is also a weapon that was only obtained by the army after the Song War, when equipment manufacturing was tilted towards the army, and the effect was obtained? That is, the fan-shaped area within 70 paces from the muzzle of the gun is basically impossible to escape.

The two sides fought fiercely and the Liao cavalry rushed forward desperately, rushed through the thistle terrestris array, destroyed the thistle, rushed to within eighty steps, and began to encounter the attack of the lion's roar cannon, the Liao cavalry bravely risked death to continue to charge, and then rushed through the first row of the thistle terrestris fence.

At this time, the Qi army in the rear began to throw out fire oil bombs, because through the last two times against the enemy cavalry, it was found that the effect of simple bombs was not as good as the blocking effect of fire oil bombs, because it was the nature of horses to be afraid of fire.

However, after the Liao cavalry entered the seventy paces, the offensive also became sharp, because at this time, their bows and arrows were already able to reach the rear row of musketeers in the Qi army's formation, and the musketeers were only equipped with plate armor in order not to affect the rate of fire.

The casualties of the musketeers began to appear, but they were still relatively few, and suddenly a soldier who threw fire oil bombs in the position was shot, and the fire oil bombs in his hands fell to the ground, causing chaos for a while, and the other soldiers hurriedly helped to extinguish the fire, taking advantage of the fact that the fire was weakening, Liao Cai finally took a step closer to pick up the second row of thistles.

For a while, the Liao soldiers seemed to be greatly encouraged, and began to storm wildly, the second row of thistles was broken, and all that was left below was the shield wall of the spear and shield man, and the battle continued, and the charge of the Liao cavalry did not stop.

At this time, Qi Guojun came up with another big killing weapon, that is, a swarm of musket version, simply put, two hundred parallel muskets are installed on the ballista rack, and after ignition, it will block the enemy with continuous shooting, and the direction of shooting can also be fine-tuned by the rotation of the territory.

This is not Zhang San's creativity, but the Qi craftsman's own play, when presented to Zhang San, Zhang San felt that although this thing is complicated to make and the shooting is limited, it is still very deterrent when facing the enemy army charging in the group.

Two hundred muskets were tied together, and this time the Western Route Army obtained sixty, and at such a critical moment, the effect was equivalent to a salvo of six thousand infantry, and the fire density of the musketeers was doubled in an instant.

The result was that the Liao cavalry finally collapsed, and in the end, the king of the southern courtyard of the Liao State looked at the six thousand remnants of the cavalry that had returned, and decided to go east, bypassing the swamp and going back, but at this time, the Qi cavalry that had been on standby had already been dispatched and decided to send them on their last journey.
