The 1,000-day German army frantically fled for their lives in front, and 5,000 Khitan cavalry in the rear quickly pursued.

However, after turning a slight downhill road, the grass under the hooves of these galloping cavalrymen began to change in color!

It's a wetland.

What is a wetland? It is a grassy waterhole in the east and west, the small and shallow ones are the size of a dining table, and the horse's hooves step into it, and the water surface has just submerged the horse's hooves, except for a little slippery.

But it's not the same with the big pools!

Some area of a few acres, some more than a dozen acres of land, this kind of waterhole is actually a swamp, once the war horse rushes in, it will soon be sucked by the sludge and fall, if you are unlucky, the water depth below, it is not surprising that you will fall directly into it without the top of your head.

Someone in the pursuing Khitan army shouted!

"Swamp, watch out for swamp!"

It was a little late, and there were more than a dozen unfortunate Khitan cavalry who had rushed into a big pool, and the exclamations separated and fell off the horses, except for the five or six behind who saw that the opportunity was wrong, and crawled out in time, but nearly ten people in front of them fell into the mud at once, fluttered a few times, and disappeared into the quagmire.

"Follow the footsteps of the Tang Army!"

It's not uncommon to run into swamps while galloping on the grasslands. The swamp is terrible for a person, but it is not such a big problem for an army, you can avoid it by being careful, and now there are only a few obvious dark pools on the ground, and it is okay for a thousand cavalry Tang troops to rush over, indicating that the road is still very wide.

This Fengzhou Khitan army is also experienced, and after a few shouts from the commander, they quickly gathered together and continued to pursue with the horseshoe prints that the Tang army had stepped on. Anyway, you have more than a thousand Tang troops, and the way out is wide enough.

It's actually better to have a swamp ahead, either chase you into a dead end and block it, or drive you into the swamp and drown, and the Khitan army will not suffer if they follow behind.

Although the speed slowed down for a short time because of the sudden discovery of the swamp, the Khitan army after calming down quickly caught up.

The more you run in front, the more waterholes there are, and the line of pursuit is also full of turns, and you can almost only run along the route that the Tang army stepped on, and there are dark waterholes on both sides!

After crossing a low hill, the Khitan general who led the team finally knew that he had been ambushed!

In addition to the 1,000 cavalry Tang Army, countless Tang Army cavalry suddenly appeared on the steppe in front!

Although this area still looks like an endless and gently undulating prairie, because of the existence of wetland waterholes, this Khitan army of 5,000 people is actually trapped in an invisible alley less than 100 meters wide. There are dark pools and swamps on both sides, either you continue to rush forward and fight against the Tang army in front of you, or you immediately turn around and run away and go back along the original route.

However, since people want to ambush you, how can they not block your back road?

Looking back, sure enough, there was another Tang army with an unknown number of people following from behind.

The view on the grassland is wide, and although the Tang army behind is far away, there are still several miles away, but it can already be clearly seen that they have blocked the way back!

Then let's fight!

The courage of the Khitan people comes from their innate bloodiness, since the back road is blocked, then rush forward!

The Khitan general who led the team waved his hand to stop the team, and the Khitan troops began to quickly line up, slightly tidying up the formation that had just been messed up because they were chasing too quickly. A minute later, the charge was immediately launched.

"Wow!"

"Kill!"

The five thousand Khitan troops, lined up in a row of thirty horsemen, started layer by layer, and began to accelerate forward.

What the Khitan army attacked was the 9,000-day German army led by Zhi Congyuan himself! Coupled with the 1,000 troops brought back by Zhederan, the total strength of the Tiande Army in front of the Khitan Army at this time reached 10,000. And in the distance, who bypassed from the rear to block the back road of the Khitans, it was another 5,000 cavalry German troops led by Mi Baoliang!

The 15,000 cavalry German army, one after the other, firmly locked the 5,000 Khitan cavalry in the middle of the ambush.

However, don't forget that the Tiande Army is actually the original Dingyan Army.

As we have said earlier, the Dingyan Army is dominated by party members, and the people are beautiful and the horses are also beautiful, but the weaponry and training level are far worse than those of the Zhenwu Army!

The Zhenwu Army has always been equipped with the Khitan Army, and the configuration is even more luxurious than the elite cavalry units of the Khitan Army, not to mention those strange weapons and formations, or unique special forces such as fart soldiers, just the proportion of heavy cavalry is more than that of the Khitan Army, and the ratio of heavy and light cavalry has even reached the level of three or seven open!

When it comes to the point of individual soldier allocation, the gap between the two armies is even greater!

The armor protection of the heavy cavalry of the Zhenwu Army is not inferior to that of the Khitan heavy cavalry, and the light cavalry is basically equipped with bows and arrows, and even the long saber of the Khitan style in the hand is much stronger and more lethal than the simple spear standard of the cavalry of the Dingnan Army!

As for the level of training, it's even more heavenly! The soldiers of the Zhenwu Army were all fed by cramming, and they practiced day and night, but the Dingyan Army was still the traditional fat-raising method of the ancient army, where is there such a thing as training!

Although the training intensity of the Khitan cavalry is not as great as that of the Zhenwu Army, they are all veterans of a hundred battles and the king of the grassland! The weak chicken cavalry of the Dingyan Army has been bullied by the Khitan cavalry several times, where can it be compared with the Khitan army! Not to mention comparing with the Zhenwu Army!

The cavalry of the Zhenwu Army, which has been led by Zhi Congyuan for more than a month, naturally knows the gap between the two armies, but there is no way, the Tiande Army that He Daxian gave him has just been formed, and it has not had time to improve, and it is already very good to be able to command!

Therefore, it is easy to set up an ambush to intercept a Khitan army, but how to eat this big fish is another problem.

Zhe never expected the two armies to hedge head-on, and the Tiande army could make any cheap.

Since you can't play hard, you can only play yin.

Eighteen eight-ox crossbows borrowed from the Zhenwu army were lined up, and the Khitan army had just rushed out of the only swamp exit, six of which were fired together, and a bowstring sound sounded "rubbing" on the ground, and a total of thirty spears flew out with a terrifying momentum, and the Khitan cavalry that rushed out shot down more than fifty horsemen at once!

There is no way, the terrain is limited, the cavalry of the Khitan army can't disperse, and the power of the eight-bull crossbow is exerted to the extreme, and almost every spear passes through at least one human body or war horse, causing huge damage!

Cavalry charge, where will it stop because dozens of people are dead! The Khitan cavalry behind continued to pour out desperately, and in the second round, another six eight-bull crossbows were fired, and more than fifty horsemen were shot down, and then the third round was fired!

The eyes of the Khitan cavalry were red, this was the first time they had seen so many eight-bull crossbows! And take turns to launch! But they have no choice but to keep rushing forward!

After the three rounds of eight-bull crossbows were fired, they shot down more than 100 Khitan cavalry cavalry who rushed out first, and finally stopped. Although the Eight Bull Crossbow is very powerful, it takes at least two minutes to reload!

More Khitan cavalry rushed out on the torn corpses of their companions!

"Wow!"

"Kill all the Tang dogs!"

Another rain of arrows is coming!

This was nearly a thousand cavalry archers rushed up by the Tiande army, quickly dispersed and occupied the firing positions on both sides, and the dense arrow rain burst like a torrential rain!

A thousand arrows were fired, and if they were shot into the open field, they could only be regarded as a drizzle, but all of them were shot into the narrow area at the exit of the swamp, which was very terrifying!

The rain of arrows fell, and the Khitan cavalry suddenly turned on their backs and fell down a large area. The Khitan cavalry behind hurriedly drew their bows and arrows and began to counterattack and shoot back!

The cavalry archers of the Tiande Army basically stopped their horses and stopped in place to shoot arrows, while the archers of the Khitan Army shot arrows on horses galloping at high speed. Compared with the two, the quasi-head is really not a grade!

The long arrows of the Khitan army were shot out, the direction was crooked and messy, and only a dozen Tiande soldiers were shot down in one round, but the second round of intensive arrow rain of the Tiande army was able to shoot down at least hundreds of Khitan troops!

You come and I shoot each other several rounds, and the Khitan army has never been able to rush out on a large scale! At this moment, those terrifying eight-bull crossbows had already reloaded their arrows, and with a squeaky sound, dozens of giant long arrows with the breath of death came to their faces again!

Cavalry charge, life or death, depends on courage!

In order to break out of this narrow swamp exit, the Khitan cavalry rushed forward and attacked for nearly ten minutes, suffered three rounds of eight-ox crossbows and a continuous rain of arrows, and the ground was already full of seven or eight hundred corpses, and they never broke through the gap, and finally let out this breath.

When the momentum is gone, fear will rise from the bottom of everyone's heart!

The people behind did not dare to rush anymore and began to turn around and flee backwards.

Although there are people blocking the back, at least they are cavalry, and everyone is facing each other, and the Tang Army arrow array in front of them really can't rush through! (To be continued.) )
