Chapter 123: The Massacre
Ask for collection, ask for support, ask for recommendation-
Eight hundred Khitan cavalry rushed into the infantry array of the Yizhou soldiers, and in less than twenty seconds, more than half of them had already fallen to the ground, and those who did not fall could not run, and their speed slowed down.
Now, it's the turn of Yizhou's foot soldiers.
The Yizhou army dealt with the Khitan army, although it was not as daring to rush and kill as the Youzhou soldiers, but it still had a long history of fine traditions. Every Yizhou soldier knows very well in his heart, and his movements are very simple and surprisingly consistent.
The Khitan cavalry is on the horse, so we will stab the horse, and as soon as the horse is injured, the natural person will fall, and the Khitan cavalry will fall, so we will stab the horse.
Six thousand people stabbed eight hundred people in a hurry, that is, a few stabs per person and it was over!
Poor 800 Khitan soldiers, no one survived, all of them were tied into a hornet's nest, and there were not even a few horses left to ride!
As for the two most heroic Khitan generals, they were naturally dealt with by a strongman at the rank of a chief.
As soon as one of the junior generals fell to the ground, he was surrounded by two Tang Army infantry lieutenants who rushed in, and before he could get up, he was hit with a stick on his knee.
This is not a wooden stick used by street gangsters to fight, but a 35-pound copper iron rod!
It's a weapon! Captain-level weapons!
Blood flew on the spot, and the Khitan general's left leg was directly knocked below the knee! The knee of the right leg was also beaten into an anti-joint!
Before the Khitan general's screams came out, another Yizhou military academy captain stabbed the red cherry spear into his throat with a shot, a fatal move!
Another Khitan lieutenant was brave, and a long horse lance rolled up and down in his hand, killing seven or eight Tang soldiers who tried to approach and knock his horse's leg with a spear, just as Liu Zaiming arrived, and when he saw this person so fierce, he shouted from afar:
"Bald thief, wait for grandpa to collect you!"
After completing the simple pretending procedure in one sentence, he slapped his horse and raised his gun, and galloped towards the Khitan general.
How do you know that a small soldier hid behind the big shield and didn't look carefully, and when he saw another war horse running over, he quickly stretched out the spear in his hand and quietly blocked in front of Liu Zaiming's horse hooves.
In the panic, the spear was on the ground, Liu Zaiming flew into the air again, reached out and grabbed the horse lance rod called by the Khitan general, and a wolf dog pounced, and hit the Khitan general's body, knocking the other party off the horse, holding the opponent's neck tightly with both hands, pressing it on the ground and pinching it.
While pinching the enemy's neck with both hands, he didn't forget to turn around and scold:
"Which bastard is mixing Lao Tzu's horse legs!"
In fact, with Liu Zaiming's ability, where is the need to strangle a Khitan general.
Just now, when he knocked the Khitan general off the horse, he had already broken someone's neck, took a dead corpse and pressed it to the ground, pretending to strangle it to death, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his head.
The military general has been pretending to be forced for a long time, and he always has all kinds of strange habits.
Seeing that a lieutenant who ran over couldn't help but snicker, obviously people had seen through him pretending, Liu Zaiming felt very bored, so he stood up and threw away the dead Khitan corpse foaming at the mouth.
The pro-soldier had already brought another horse over, and General Liu turned over on the horse again angrily, took the all-wood, only five-pound red tassel gun used by the singing troupe handed by the pro-soldier, and pointed at the Khitan "meat" in front:
"Brothers, the beef is in the front, the mutton is also in the front, and the women are also in the front, rush!"
This Liu Zaiming has learned all the true kung fu, all of which are hand-to-hand combat, and he will not fight alone at all. A wooden spear in his hand is only used to pretend to be intimidating, he never fights alone, and strangling the enemy is his favorite method of killing.
Although two or three hundred people were killed by these eight hundred Khitan cavalry just now, these Yizhou foot soldiers, who were mainly composed of outlaws, still launched another attack with joy.
Everyone doesn't think too much, there is only one thing in their hearts: there is meat ahead!
At this time, the Khitan cavalry of the "Silver Saddle Khitan Zhi" who had just been divided into 1,000 cavalry to meet the Tang Army had already been broken up by the 3,000 brave "Silver Saddle Khitan Zhi" cavalry.
There's no way, the number of people is small, and the momentum is not as high.
The key Khitans have rarely become the defender today, there is no reward for winning the battle, the Tang army is the attacker, the meat is in front, the wolf dogs smell the meat, where can they not be demoralized!
As soon as the two armies came into contact, the formation of the Khitan army dispersed.
Cavalry combat, once the morale is low, plus the formation is scattered, it is a tragedy!
The so-called fellow sees the fellow and shoots him in the back, this kind of truth in the world is not something that Taoist priests can summarize by pondering and meditating in the Taoist temple, it is all bloody!
Only paid the price of more than 100 people, and the 3,000 silver saddle Khitan straight crushed all the 1,000 Khitan cavalry on the way.
More than 600 Khitan cavalry were killed on the spot, and the rest scattered, some crashed into the Yizhou army infantry formation, and were stabbed to death by the spears of the infantry or shot to death by bows and arrows, some ran too fast and fell down the ravine and died, and less than 200 cavalry ran away.
The other 500 Khitan cavalry chasing after the Yizhou cavalry, seeing that the general trend had gone, did not dare to chase anymore, and directly turned around and ran.
This is completely finished, tens of thousands of Khitan old and young baggage troops were rushed in by two thousand Yizhou cavalry and three thousand silver saddle Khitan straight cavalry, and the defensive array that had just been formed immediately fell apart, and the heads were rolling on the spot, dead bodies were everywhere, and blood flowed like a river.
Immediately afterwards, the six thousand Yizhou infantry soldiers also rushed in!
To tell the truth, in this old and young baggage team, although there are one or two thousand veterans pulling two or three thousand young and strong Khitan women to assume the defensive function, but after all, the strength of the old man and the woman is too small, and the morale is low, and they were rushed back and forth by the wolf-like Tang cavalry, and two or three thousand people were killed in the chaos in such a long time.
After the 6,000 Tang Army foot soldiers rushed in, they couldn't help but say, they killed people when they saw them, stabbed them when they saw them alive, and stabbed nearly 2,000 people to death in the blink of an eye with thousands of spears.
The entire Khitan baggage team has become a hell on earth, and the sound of wailing and howling is everywhere, so miserable!
The other more than 2,000 Khitan cavalry, in the distance, is escorting the other half of the old and young baggage team that has rushed through Xinzhou, seeing such a tragic situation, full of righteous indignation and eager to try, they want to come to the rescue, but see that the three thousand "silver saddle Khitan straight" has been killed back and forth, everyone rushed out with blood stains all over their bodies, and began to line up again, as if they were going to come over to rush here, and they were too frightened to move on the spot.
The chaotic killing is still going on, and the fierce Tang soldiers are showing off their might in front of the unarmed Khitan old and young and women, and they don't even have a reason to stab them to death with a spear, and they don't blink an eye when they kill people.
Liu Zaiming saw that many people had been killed, and most of the remaining people in this Khitan baggage battalion were women and children, basically no one had weapons in their hands anymore, and they all knelt on the spot with their heads in their hands and trembled, so they gave an order, and the Tang army infantry finally stopped killing, escorted these women to push all kinds of carts, and under the cover of the two cavalry troops, they all rushed into Xinzhou City with a bang.
It's time to enter the city, Yelu Chacha from Laoxian County will come at any time, and the seven thousand Khitan cavalry in the direction of Taiyuan will also appear at any time, if you don't leave, the meat in your hand will fly!
In the blink of an eye, the Tang army all over the mountains disappeared, and the gate of Xinzhou City was also slammed shut!
This time, in fact, it was Yerod who was too light on the enemy, and with such a large-scale movement of the baggage battalion, the escort work was too rash! In less than two hours, half of the 20,000 Khitan old and young baggage camps were robbed by the Tang army, including several concubines of Yelu Deguang and the families of some high-ranking Khitan generals!
On the other hand, Zhao Dejun, who was drinking in Daizhou, had not yet gotten up when he received an urgent report from Liu Zaiming.
Zhao Dejun and Liu Zaiming have been working together for a long time, and with his understanding of Liu Zaiming, there is no reason not to snatch it when he sees such a big piece of meat.
Let's help him, and by the way, let's see if the Youzhou soldiers can share some meat to eat.
Zhao Dejun didn't have time to wash his face, so he got out of bed immediately, and he didn't have time to inform Dong Wenqi that he rushed directly to the city of Laoxian with five thousand Youzhou cavalry.
At this time, Yelu Chache, who was stationed in Lao County, also heard about Liu Zaiming coming out of Xinzhou to grab meat, and was about to raise troops and horses, but reported that 5,000 Youzhou cavalry were coming.
Nima Zhao Dejun, if you don't drink well in Youzhou, you will come out to make trouble at this juncture!
The Youzhou soldiers are more difficult to deal with than the Yizhou soldiers, Yelu Cha did not dare to be careless, and when the time came, he lost Lao County, and all the Khitan people did not want to go home!
I didn't dare to think about saving Xinzhou anymore, so I left 2,000 Khitan cavalry and 5,000 Jin soldiers to defend the city, and brought 3,000 Khitan cavalry out of the battle, blocking the road to Xinzhou and preventing the Youzhou soldiers from rushing to Xinzhou to join in the fun.
