Jerodza cut an arrow and shot it, and the supersonic flying arrow instantly triggered a sonic boom, like a thunderclap on the ground, which was amazing!

I saw Liu Zaiming on the opposite side casually pulling out an umbrella from the horse

Well, it's actually a cone-shaped iron shield, I don't know what trigger was pulled, originally a long stick suddenly opened like an umbrella, or it should be said that the umbrella has not been fully opened, only half opened, it looks like an ice cream cone placed by the traffic police on the side of the road as a warning.

With a loud bang, the war horse ridden by Liu Zaiming couldn't stand the force, and he took three steps back, and the arrow that Yelu Cha cut had long since disappeared.

"Hahaha, Lord Yelu is really grumpy, and the old man stays up all day, that's not possible! It's not good for your health. ”

Liu Zaiming didn't care at all about the name of the top ten Khitan heroes of Yelu Cha Che, and raised his other hand to take out a long red tassel spear, and the tip of the spear was pointed at Ye Lu Cha Cha Haha laughed.

Who is Yoo Jae-myung? The northern camp is commanded by envoys, and this is an unlimited number of troops, and only one envoy or jiedu envoy can manage his official position above his head, which is considered a senior general of the Tang Army at the level of deputy general.

Liu Zaiming has to fight one or two fights with the Khitans almost every month in Hebei on weekdays, the big thousand-level battles, the small ones kill more than a dozen people, and those Khitans kill and kill, all of them have become old acquaintances, even if the fourth Khitan hero in front of him, Yelu Chache, has also fought twice, and today is the third time.

Jeruzachel is the fourth Khitan hero and the second archer, so what?

The arrows you shot are really awesome, but I raised my hand to block them, don't accept it? Then you're going to bite me?

Do you really think that since the emperor Li Congke suffered from depression, there has been no one in the Tang Army?

No one in the Tang Army can hold the area around Youzhou for hundreds of years? Can you still have nothing to do, and rush into the steppes of the Khitan and Bohai countries every once in a while to beat grass valleys, burn and loot countless cattle, sheep and Hu women? Don't you see that many of the Tang residents in Hebei have eyes that are no longer black, but yellow? There are a lot of dark blue ones, too!

Do you think that in Luoyang City, so many Hu girls who are sold are all voluntarily immigrated abroad to settle in Luoyang?

In fact, since ancient times, there have been too many sour literati among the Han people who have written wonderful articles, and they have written a lot of stories accusing the northern Hu people of how fierce and cruel they are, making everyone always think that the Han people are bullied by the northern Hu people all day long.

Nima can write as far as you can, but the Hu people in the north don't even know the words, how can they argue with you?

If the Han people were so weak, they would have been wiped out a long time ago! Can the Han people occupy the Central Plains for thousands of years?

The Han people are fierce and bad, but they are much worse than those naïve and romantic northern nomads!

Why? Han people are literate!

Ever heard of a saying? If you are not afraid of hooligans, you are afraid that hooligans are educated!

Of course, the above is all inspirational nonsense for Han readers.

It is undeniable that in this post-Tang period, the Han people were indeed weaker, and the status of the Khitan State as the first power in the Eastern world was well-deserved and irrefutable.

It's just that Liu Zaiming is not an ordinary person.

Liu Zaiming was thirty-five years old Chinese New Year's Eve, a native of Youzhou (present-day Beijing), and was favored by a certain Taoist patriarch when he was a child, and was brought into the Hebei Quanzhen School of Cultivation.

This world is still the world of the warlords of the scholar clan, and if the Taoists want to survive in the world, they naturally have to rely on the powerful warlords. So Liu Zaiming, who became an adult, was sent to Liu Shouguang's mansion, the envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, who was still the Later Liang Dynasty at that time, to serve as Liu Shouguang's cronies and help Liu Shouguang fight.

Liu Shouguang is known as the most **** soil emperor in the Five Dynasties period, with extraordinary talent and super indoor sports ability, it is said that tens of thousands of people in the harem do not refuse, and eighteen shots are made every night. But this man is so disgusting that we won't talk about it here.

After the fall of the Later Liang, Liu Shouguang also died, and Liu Zaiming was favored by Tang Emperor Li Siyuan and continued to stay in Hebei as an officer.

Originally, Liu Zaiming wanted to set up his own door and take the road of civil service in his official career, and he really got an official position in Zhaozhou. However, at this time, the Youzhou Festival made it a little difficult for Zhao Dejun to defend the Khitans in the north, so he added Liu Zaiming the title of commander of the northern camp, and let him stay in Yizhou and Zhuozhou for a long time, often following Zhao Dejun's army, and the two armies supported each other, fighting and killing the Khitans, or crossing the border to the north to grab some cattle, sheep and women or something.

Since Liu Zaiming was born in Taoism and is an authentic disciple of the Quanzhen School, his personal force is naturally very powerful, and if the "pseudo-god of war" Pei Baoman encounters him, he may not be able to beat him. Everyone is a brother of the Quanzhen faction, and there is still a little difference between the Hebei faction and the Fangshan faction.

Although Liu Zaiming is awesome, he is still a little worse than Yelu Chacha. In a head-to-head battle, he couldn't beat Jeruchachel, but Jeruchachel wanted to kill him at once, but he didn't want to!

The Quanzhen faction wins with the martial arts based on Taiyi Five Elements Fist, and if you fight and are slippery, you have a lot of strength!

Without further ado, let's go back to the battlefield of the Muma River.

As soon as Yelu Cha saw that Liu Zaiming was leading the army, he knew that today's battle was a bit difficult, and he couldn't help but regret that he had fewer soldiers.

The width of this Muma River is only about 50 to 100 meters, but it is very deep. At the shallow of this small town of Jinchang, where you can cross the river on horseback, the river becomes shallow, only as deep as a horse's belly, but the width has expanded to nearly 300 meters.

If the Khitan army wanted to storm and cross the river, they had to walk slowly in the river, and the war horses waded through the water to cross the river, which took about five minutes.

In these five minutes, the Khitan army could not fight effectively, and at the same time had to withstand the rain of arrows of the Tang army!

Who was Jerodzacrot? The generalissimo of the Khitan Kingdom, and the smartest strategic master of the Khitan Kingdom!

Seeing that there is no room for strategy, then attack it, how can the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses be a person who cherishes soldiers!

Yelu Cha no longer paid attention to Liu Zaiming, who was still laughing and provoking on the other side of the river, turned around and waved his hand back, and the five thousand Khitan iron horsemen began to line up, preparing to forcibly cross the Muma River!

The old acquaintance ignored him, and Liu Zaiming had no choice but to run back to the Tang army's position in disgrace and command the Yizhou army to prepare for battle.

The higher the sun rises in the morning, the darker it gets. The clouds overhead were thick and low, and it looked like it was going to rain. But before the heavy rain fell, the appearance of a low-pressure environment was inevitable, and the people and horses on the ground had a sense of silent oppression, and the slightest breeze that blew from time to time could not disperse the sultry air of thousands of people huddled together.

The thousands of Khitan cavalry in the chaos finally took shape in the sharp scolding of the commanders, and the first row of fifty heavy cavalrymen in full armor, holding large shields high in their hands, set off in a neat formation and stepped into the water along the flat rocky beach.

Then the second platoon of heavy cavalry followed into the water, and then the third platoon

The sound of a series of crisp horses' hooves stepping into the river continued to sound throughout the riverbank, drowning out the shouts of the Khitan hundred leaders who were struggling to maintain the formation.

The first row of heavy cavalry at the front, at this time the river had already overflowed to the belly of the horse, and the stirrups under their feet were also hit by waves from time to time, wetting the boots on their feet. The noisy voices behind him gradually faded away, and the only sound in my ears was the sound of the river flowing and the crackling sound of the water slapping on the belly of the war horse.

Everyone was in a heavy mood and didn't say a word.

As the first heavy cavalry rushing in the first row, they are generally prepared for death. But in the past, someone shouted loudly, everyone desperately shouted, and then without thinking about it, they rushed forward frantically, rushed to the enemy, and as soon as they closed their eyes, this life could be over!

However, now that I am crossing the river so slowly, my mood is completely different.

The Tang soldiers on the other side watched with fierce eyes, spears were lined up, rows of archers also bent their bows and arrows, and each long arrow pointed diagonally at the gray sky looked gloomy.

The most terrifying thing is that the drivers of the six eight-bull crossbows are also neatly lined up in front of the formation, and five crossbow arrows as long as spears are drawn on each frame!

These Khitan heavy cavalry have complete armor on their bodies, and they are also equipped with a large shield on their left hand, and they are not afraid of conventional bows and arrows, but the spears shot by the eight-bull crossbow are not something that the heavy cavalry can defend.

If you shoot, you will inevitably pass through the body, and it can be said that you will die if you are hit!

No one squeaked in the dreary atmosphere, everyone consciously maintained the formation, a horizontal row of fifty horsemen, looking like a straight line, extremely neat!

Pulling farther and farther away from the shore behind me, only the sound of the river flowing unhurriedly sounded in my ears.

After crossing the middle line of the river, the roar of a hundred men rang in the ears of the heavy cavalry.

"Accelerate, move forward!"

The Khitan heavy cavalry controlled the war horse under the crotch and began to urge the horse to accelerate, the speed increased from five kilometers per hour to six kilometers per hour, and the water lines pushed out of the horse's neck became more and more coarse and obvious.

At this moment, someone from the Tang army on the opposite side also shouted sharply, followed by a series of piercing triggers and the noisy sound of wooden parts hitting each other, and then a sharp sound of breaking wind came to the face!

Six eight-ox crossbows, thirty large crossbow arrows the same size as spears, roared against the surface of the river and pierced the air, shooting towards the Khitan heavy cavalry who were stacked and arranged neatly in the river!
