The remaining distance was even more difficult to walk, and the casualties continued to increase, and when they advanced to eighty paces, they suffered another two thousand casualties, and the Liao generals saw that they still dared to advance in this situation, and immediately ordered their troops to begin to retreat.

It's just that how can it be so easy for horses to turn, and in the process of retreating, more than 1,000 were killed, and when the Liao soldiers returned to their positions, there were only more than 4,000 left, and the Liao soldiers had seen such a large number of casualties in the battle.

The two sides reached a stalemate, and the Liao soldiers began to retreat to the place where they had originally camped, intending to go back and repair it, but not far back, the scouts came to report that their camp had been occupied by Qi soldiers.

In desperation, I had to find another place to camp, but fortunately, I brought the tents and other materials in the morning, and the first day of the war was over, and the Qi State successfully achieved the strategic goal of blocking the Liao soldiers under the city, and the Liao State lost more than 5,000 cavalry, and now the total strength is less than 50,000, and it is panicked for a while.

This is the first time they have felt scared when they go south, and the reason why Zhang San has made so much effort to eliminate this Liao army is to make the other party afraid, and let the other party know that my Qi State is not the Song State, and it is not something you can bully if you want to.

If you can beat it, you can fight, if you can't beat it, you can run, now you run for me! Sometimes psychological superiority can play a great role on the battlefield, for example, the process of confirming rumors such as 'Jurchen is not ten thousand, and full of ten thousand is invincible' is the process of establishing the enemy's psychological superiority.

The enemy will establish a strong psychological advantage for me, and your own team will also establish a psychology that it is difficult for the enemy to defeat, so that before the two sides fight, your own side will be frightened and weak, and often hundreds of thousands of people will dare to attack your tens of thousands of troops, which is generally the majority of the psychological effect.

Of course, the quality of the army on one's side is also a key, but the impact of this psychology, that is, the importance of morale to an army, no one can deny it, and this is true in all eras.

Therefore, Zhang San hopes to build confidence in his army through this battle, and also defeat the arrogant mentality of the Liao army.

In the end, it is a stupid idea to use the lasso and the flying claw to break the opponent's stake formation first, and then rush over to break the enemy, but you can't deny that he will be effective, so the generals decided to use this when there is no better way.

After the discussion, they went back to the tent to sleep, not long after they fell asleep, suddenly there was a shout from outside the camp, saying that there was an enemy attack, everyone hurriedly dressed and looked for horses, this is the battlefield, it is impossible for the Liao State to be stupid enough not to send out the service to sleep peacefully.

So when they heard the enemy attack, in fact, the attacking enemy army was still some distance away from the camp, and the Liao army had time to organize manpower to enter the defensive position, but what the Liao army didn't expect was that the attacking soldiers turned out to be cavalry.

The other party did not attack the wall, but threw out the black porcelain altars that were lit one by one into the wall, and the jars were filled with fire oil, and they threw them around the camp, and for a while the Liao army began to extinguish the fire while defending.

Seeing such an effect, the enemy cavalry disappeared into the night, and the Liao army at first felt that it was because of its timely defense and quick reaction, and the enemy saw that it was unprofitable to set fire and left, so it took an hour to pack up the camp tent and everyone continued to sleep.

It's just that not long after falling asleep, the shouts of the enemy attack came again, and everyone hurriedly got up and dressed to find horses for defense, this time the other party threw a lot of fire oil bombs, and then fired a few rounds of rockets and retreated.

If you can't see that the other party is using tired enemy tactics, then the Liao army will be pigs, so the Liao general ordered 20,000 Liao cavalry to dress and sleep, and the horses were placed at the gate of the camp, as long as the enemy came again, they would immediately pursue.

Sure enough, the other Liao troops had just slept for a while, and the enemy attack came again, this time the Liao army would not let go, and immediately 20,000 Liao soldiers opened the camp gate and killed them, and the Qi cavalry immediately retreated as soon as they saw this situation.

It's just that the Liao soldiers have been harassed twice and have already been on fire, how can they let go easily at this time, they chased all the way, and they chased for five miles, and the other party stopped all of a sudden, and the Liao army saw where they would let go, and shouted: "Kill!" ”

Unfortunately, it backfired, and when the charging team was still two hundred steps away from the Qi cavalry, a row of wooden planks suddenly bounced up on the ground, and the planks were two meters high and completely blocked the Liao soldiers' charging route.

The Liao soldiers had never heard of this strange tactic, but as soon as the plank was erected, the horse really couldn't rush through, and when the Liao cavalry wanted to bypass, both sides remembered the gunshots, and the Liao army knew that they were in an ambush when they heard it, and immediately wanted to retreat.

Turning the horse's head and just about to run, a wooden plank was also erected on the way back, at this time the general of the Liao army remembered the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the plank he heard when he was chasing the enemy.

The Liao cavalry wanted to bypass the Qi army formations that only attacked both sides, but the carefully prepared trap was not so easy to break, not to mention that it was the middle of the night, so only the sound of rushing and killing was heard on the battlefield, and indeed not a single Liao soldier could rush up.

Liao Qi began to find a way to climb the plank, intending to tear down the plank to escape, but he was afraid to go up and see more than one row of these planks, but no matter how many rows there was always a fall, so Liao Qi tried to cut the rope on the plank to escape, but they did ignore the black liquid under the plank.

Therefore, when the Qi army saw that the Liao soldiers were trying to dismantle the planks, they slipped a rocket down, and immediately the trench turned into a sea of fire, and untrained horses would not jump into the sea of fire, of course, even if they jumped over, there were planks and trenches behind, and Zhang San prepared five rows for them.

The war lasted until the arrival of Liao reinforcements, and Qi began to retreat slowly in order to prevent the Liao soldiers from jumping off the wall in a hurry, but the 20,000 pursuing Liao soldiers were now less than 5,000, and the Liao army really didn't sleep that night.

Now the question comes, it's dawn, the soldiers are tired all night, and now it's time to continue to break through? It's better to sleep, how to break through without enough energy, but will the enemy give you time to sleep? Now there are only more than 30,000 cavalry in Liao.

In the end, the Liao general decided to try his best to run out first, run out how everyone wants to sleep and how to sleep, if you can't run away, you can really only sleep here, Liao cavalry again set up troops to the north, came to the place where the Qi army blocked the road, the cavalry began to separate the horse masters, put on flying claws and prepare to set the thistle terrestris of the Qi country.

It's just that the efficiency of this tactic is really not high, and it takes time for horses to go back and forth, Zhang San has studied it, this method is not as good as the quick casualties that come from charging and destroying, but the Liao soldiers have not done such an experiment.
