Chapter 363: Zhuangzai, Wang Jiajun
Yelu Hongji led an army of 40,000 people, bypassing Bazhou, directly taking the Red Walled City, and then taking the Red Walled City as the rear, turning around and heading east, directly attacking the Baoding army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Along the way, the morale of the Liao soldiers was high, and the current problem was how to seize Baoding, in case it should not be used, it would be necessary to storm the city, which Yelu Hongji did not want to see, he repeatedly asked Yang Wenbin to make sure that he could take Baoding.
Yang Wenbin also patted his chest and reassured, full of confidence.
The men and horses are getting closer and closer to the Baoding army, and in front of them is a wide pond with tall reeds, as long as they go around, the Baoding army is in front of them.
Suddenly, in the reeds, a black banner appeared, dozens of cavalry stood out, they ran to a mound, launched the signal flare in their hands into the sky, and soon the sound of thunder came from the ground, on the other side of the mound, a platoon of cavalry appeared in front of the Liao soldiers.
From head to toe, these cavalrymen were wearing thick armor, holding long cavalry spears in their hands, and carrying the sun on their backs, shining brightly, and there was a feeling of looking down on the common people.
Yelu Hongji felt ridiculous, all along, it was the Liao Iron Cavalry that swept the Great Song Dynasty, when the Song soldiers were so bold and dared to fight with the Liao soldiers, it was simply looking for death!
Yelu Hongji didn't care about these people in front of him, he just waved his hand casually, and the two thousand people swept towards the Song soldiers.
The cavalry of these Liao soldiers were also dressed in chain mail and leather armor, holding scimitars, maces, bows and arrows and other weapons in their hands, shouting loudly, like an open fan, and pounced on the opponent. They howled loudly, full of mockery, as if the enemy in front of them was not worth mentioning.
"It's really empty-eyed!" Wang Liangjing's eyes narrowed, flashing with bloodthirsty light.
Randomly, he raised the horse lance in his hand, "Brothers, rush with me!" ”
Wang Liangjing's war horse took the first step, and the other horses followed closely almost reflexively, a total of 120 knights, almost man by man, horse by horse, shoulder to shoulder.
Their speed is slightly slower than that of the Liao soldiers, but the team is neat, like a wall, full of oppression, and directly collides with the Liao soldiers!
Wang Ningan estimated that even if he invested more money, it would be wishful thinking to be better than the Liao people who grew up on horseback in riding and archery.
Only by relying on training and discipline can Wang Jiajun defeat his opponent.
Lao Wang adhered to his son's concept, and when he was in Lingnan, he practiced cavalry tactics many times, not only Nong Zhigao was not an opponent, but Jiaozhi was also beaten to the ground.
After the reorganization of the Jingsai Army, Wang Liangjing used the veterans as the backbone and trained the recruits hard.
They've done everything they could, and this is the perfect time to test their tactics!
Wang Liangjing and they rushed quickly, the wind swept past their ears, and many Liao soldiers slowed down their horses, drew their bows, and shot towards Wang's army.
A rain of arrows crackled in the ranks of the Wang family's army, most of the arrows were blocked by the armor, and a few soldiers were shot and fell off their horses.
It's just that the whole team hasn't changed much, and they still don't hurry to kill, but everyone leans forward slightly and tries to avoid bows and arrows.
In a short distance, the two sides hedged, and the Liao soldiers only shot two rounds of bows and arrows at most, so they had to fight against the Wang family's army!
When the two armies met, the Liao soldiers finally felt the cold to the bone.
The Liao soldiers, like other nomads, were accustomed to riding and shooting, and their ranks were very loose, and they collided with the riding wall of the Wang army, and immediately exposed their horses' feet.
The screams of the horses, the wails of the soldiers, the clashing of weapons, the breaking of bones and tendons...... A variety of chilling sounds intertwined.
Every Liao soldier had to face the Wang family's army, which was several times his size, and there were enemies everywhere as far as the eye could see, but there was no brother by his side to rely on.
The scimitar in his hand is far from the length of the opponent's spear, the short soldiers are connected, one inch long and one inch strong, the Liao soldiers have not yet touched the clothes and armor of the Wang family, they were wearing sugar gourds, and the Liao soldiers howled miserably and lost their lives.
The corpse rolled off the horse, was trampled under the feet of the iron cavalry of the Wang Jiajun, and turned into meat puree.
Almost without any resistance, the Wang army rushed into the camp of the Liao soldiers.
Although Wang Liangjing's face was expressionless, his heart almost jumped out!
It worked, it really worked!
Wang Liangjing finally determined that his son's tactics were successful, and in the face of the Liao cavalry, the wall-riding tactics were effective.
In an instant, Lao Wang almost burst into tears.
Fuck the horseman, I'm not afraid of you!
Wang Liangjing waved the horse lance in his hand and penetrated the Liao soldiers one by one, and his cavalry was like a wall, a mountain, and a torrent...... Forcefully knocked the Liao soldiers open a big hole.
Whether it is the Tielin Army or the Leather Room Army, they all advocate personal bravery and are accustomed to using bows and arrows to deal with the enemy, but in the face of the iron cavalry of the Wang Army, the bow and arrow have little effect, but because the team is too sparse, when they collide, they suffer very much, except for a very small number of lucky ones, most of them are killed and crushed.
Even the lucky ones who slipped through the net would be killed by the cavalry behind.
The Liao soldiers were very angry, and they tried to assemble, concentrate all the archers, and shoot fiercely at the Wang army.
A rain of arrows fell, and a dozen more soldiers fell, but more rushed in front of them, and they stabbed long spears into the archers' bodies.
These people are all treasures of the Liao Kingdom, and many of them are eagle shooters, so they died in a daze, and the rest of the Liao soldiers were stunned.
was already afraid, but at this time it was even more unbearable, the fear spread rapidly, and the Liao soldiers turned around and fled.
The dignified Liao Iron Cavalry was chased and beaten by the Song army, such a funny and absurd scene actually appeared in front of Yelu Hongji.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was mad, he shouted loudly, roared wildly, and let more Liao soldiers rush forward, and he sent a fierce Tielin heavy cavalry.
The two cavalrymen who were also equipped with heavy armor roared and collided together, and the spears in the hands of many soldiers of the Wang family army pierced into each other's bodies, but because the force of the impact of the war horse was too great, the spear broke, and some people were lifted under the horse by the force of the rebound, and some people gave up the spear, drew their sabers and continued to fight.
There was a vacancy in the team of 120 people, and the Liao soldiers took the opportunity to rush away from the Wang army, but they miscalculated, and the cavalry in the back had already poured up, and the soldiers did not hesitate to fill the vacancy, even if they faced the opponent's weapons, they were not afraid!
That's discipline, that's training!
Wang Jiajun's blade is sharp at all times, and the impact force is not reduced at all.
A warrior who looks at death as if he were at home, ignores the dripping blood!
On the other hand, the Liao army, they were full of enthusiasm, and after mentioning the iron plate, they were stuck, whether it was the Tielin army or the leather room army, they all retreated to both sides, leaving the wide passage in the middle to the Wang army.
As for Wang Liangjing, his battle flag is like a huge lighthouse, guiding all the Wang family troops to charge towards the Liao soldiers.
"Keep in formation, don't mess around!"
The head of each team constantly reminds his subordinates that everyone is always shoulder to shoulder, and no one can beat us!
The wall-like knight was like a sharp kitchen knife, cutting through the tofu, and the Liao soldiers in front of Wang Liangjing became more and more sparse and fewer. His body was very tired, and every time he raised his arm, he felt sore and weak, but in front of him, a bright yellow banner suddenly appeared, under which was Yelu Hongji, and the palace army that was defending him.
Wang Liangjing's eyes were on fire and his fighting spirit was high.
He pointed his horse at Yelu Hongji and let out an earth-shattering roar!
"Kill!"
The iron cavalry of the Wang family army was desperate and pounced on the prince of Liao.
Until this moment, Yelu Hongji couldn't believe his eyes, the dignified Liao cavalry was actually beaten by the Song army! What the hell!
He didn't want to believe it, but it was the way it was.
The Wang Jiajun was getting closer and closer, the Liao soldiers wailed in fear, and someone rushed up, like a wave, drowning in an instant. The guards on both sides could only desperately protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and retreat.
When they saw the prince's banner turn back, the last bit of confidence of the Liao soldiers also collapsed.
They screamed, threw their weapons, turned around and ran.
All over the mountains and fields, are the scene of the Liao soldiers fleeing frantically, when they come, they are arrogant wolves, when they retreat, they are not as good as chickens and ducks, they are chased by people at will, and their faces are clean.
Is this still the iron horse of Liao?
It's just tofu dregs!
Of course, there are also smart people in the Liao army, such as the veteran Xiao Hui, he can see that the tactics of the Song army have changed, and the Liao iron cavalry cannot adapt to it, and the fiasco is not unexpected.
However, they still have a numerical advantage, and as long as they can hold on, they will not be defeated.
Xiao Hui immediately beckoned the leather room army and asked them to dismount and form a formation, using a dense formation to resist the iron cavalry of the Wang family's army.
I have to say that there are funny scenes on the battlefield that have not been seen in more than a hundred years.
The Liao State, which was famous for its cavalry shooting, had to rely on foot combat to win, and the Song army, which lived on battle formations, actually charged with iron cavalry!
That's not how the script is written, what the hell are you guys doing?
Fortunately, Lao Wang's mind was very clear, he did not continue to rush, but chose to bypass the infantry of the Liao army and continue to pursue other defeated troops, leaving the task of shaking the leather room army head-on to Wang Ning'an.
"Bed crossbow ready!"
"Launch!"
Hundreds of bed crossbows were fired together, and thick arrows were shot into the ranks of the Liao army, and one arrow could even penetrate the bodies of three Liao soldiers, and soon there was a gap in the Liao soldiers, and hundreds of soldiers died. Lacking long-range attack means, fighting with the Great Song Dynasty is like looking for death.
Wang Ning'an hasn't played enough, Wang Liangjing led the cavalry to turn around and kill back, they swooped down on the battle formation of the Liao soldiers from behind, savagely rushed, crazy killing, the Liao soldiers were killed by the war horses, hacked to death by the swords, and soon it was a mess, Xiao Hui's efforts failed, the Liao soldiers could no longer organize to resist, and the rest was just to turn around and run wildly.
They have no direction, no purpose, only one word, and that is to run!
Wang Liangjing really wanted to chase and kill the Liao soldiers, but although he could still hold on, the war horse had collapsed...... In this battle, a total of 1,000 heavy cavalry, 2,000 light cavalry, and 7,000 infantry were dispatched, totaling 10,000 horses.
With 10,000 to 40,000, Wang Jiajun won beautifully!
Although it is far less than the feat of breaking 80,000 of the Jingsai army back then, but in today's declining force, I still have to give Wang Jiajun a thumbs up: Strong!
