Chapter 118: It's a mess when you rush

Then appeal: Ask for collection, ask for recommendation-

The rain stopped and the sun came out.

The battlefield is still full of moisture, but you can already see far away.

One of the simple camps built by the Khitans on Jinyang Lake is clearly visible. The whole camp is blocked by a long circle of wooden bars one person high, and there is a small river in front of it as a natural moat.

The army of the Central Plains, if there is a small river in front of the camp as a moat, generally put one or two suspension bridges. This is a typical defensive line of thought of the Central Plains army.

The Khitan army was an offensive army.

The moat in front of the Khitan camp was only used to prevent sneak attacks. As an offensive army, although there is a small river in front of the Khitan camp, there are more than a dozen improvised bridges that span the small river in such a big way!

There are no suspension bridges at all, they are all sturdy wooden bridges that can accommodate three horsemen running side by side on the river!

The wooden gates of more than a dozen camps behind more than a dozen wooden bridges opened at the same time, and the Khitan cavalry poured out like a tide, crossed the wooden bridge, rushed out more than 100 meters, and began to line up.

The ground is still muddy, more than a dozen Khitan cavalry horses that ran too fast slipped their hooves, and fell to the ground, some got up on their own without saying a word, turned over and jumped on the back of the horse again, and some fell down, the war horse knelt directly on the ground, unable to move, and the other cavalry next to it was also simply, a few long knives chopped down, hacked the war horse to death, divided into several sections, dragged to the side, and pushed a little deeper into the small pond and pulled it down.

The Third Regiment of the Tang Army, which had run to the front, had stopped advancing, and the small wooden piles of one meter long were passed up from behind, and the Tang soldiers in the first few rows kept their hands on their hands, vigorously knocking these wooden stakes into the muddy ground under their feet, some of them knocked down half of them at once, and some of them still couldn't stand after knocking for a long time.

Except for the shouts of their respective commanders, there is basically no nonsense, and everyone is seizing the opportunity to make the final preparations before the war.

The Khitan army is lining up, and the Tang army is digging pits and burying piles.

The extremely depressed and tense atmosphere before the war made everyone in the Third Regiment of the Tang Army breathless, and many people wept while driving piles. Wait a few more minutes, when a large group of cavalry of the Khitan army rushes over, no one dares to think about how many people in the Tang army in the first five rows can survive.

The Fifth Regiment of the Tang Army has begun to cross the river, and it seems that Gao Dashuai is determined to pile up more than 10,000 people here to completely fight out the cavalry of the Khitans! Zuo Lang of the first regiment of the Tang Army subdued Han Cong, and also received a new order, pulled up a group of more than 2,000 remnants, and began to maneuver to the left, and when the Khitans rushed up after a while, their task would be reflexively rushed into the battlefield from the flank!

"Wow!"

In the distance, the commander of the Khitan army shouted, and the first thousand people of the Khitan people started and began to rush over.

This Khitan thousand-man team did not line up in five rows as usual and concentrate on one point to break through, but opened up a width of five or six hundred meters, with only two rows and five hundred horses in each row! It's like a big net, sweeping over.

These thousand Khitan cavalry are obviously determined to die, and their task is to fight for these thousand lives to crush the entire Tang army's front at one time, and when the Tang army is in chaos, it will bring the opportunity to kill the subsequent thousand teams!

A thousand cavalry ran up, and the dense sound of horses' hooves like thunder brought huge psychological pressure to the Tang army's foot soldiers.

The Khitan talent has just started, and some people on the Tang Army's side have already begun to turn around and flee. But they could not run far, and there were hundreds of Tang archers on horseback as gendarmes in the entire infantry position, calmly shooting those frightened cowards to death with one arrow.

The captains and captains also screamed and quickly put their troops into combat mode!

"Raise the spear!"

"Pestle!"

The recruits looked at each other left and right, followed the example of the veterans with pale faces, hid their bodies behind the stakes they had just hit, clubbed the end of their spears on the ground, stepped on them with the soles of their feet, held the body of the spear with both hands, and leaned forward with the tip of the spear, ready for defense.

"Draw, prepare, shoot!"

The ground was really slippery, and while the Khitan cavalry was running, there were already people who fell by themselves, breaking their heads and bleeding, and if they were unlucky, they had to trip over the war horses behind, and several war horses collided into a pile at once, rolling on the ground, rolling up the stinky mud and muddy water all over the ground.

Among the first batch of 1,000 Khitan cavalry, there were more than 300 heavy cavalry, all of whom were lined up in the middle of the front row, wearing full-coverage three-eyed helmets and thick armor.

A rain of arrows from the archers of the Tang Army shot over, and only twenty or thirty horsemen were knocked down, which was not as many as these Khitan cavalry who slipped and fell to their deaths!

When the Khitan cavalry rushed into the Tang army's position, it was like a huge wave, lapping on the long coastline, and more than half of the Tang army foot soldiers standing in the first row were shot away at the moment when the two armies just came into contact, and only a small part survived because the Khitan cavalry rushing in front of them suddenly slipped or was hung down by the wooden stakes that were knocked down.

But they could only rejoice in less than a second, and then the Khitan cavalry in the second row rushed over again!

The inferiority of the infantry against the cavalry is irreparable by manpower, as long as you are in a straight line where the cavalry is rushing, you will either be knocked away or cut in two by the cavalry's saber, or you will be directly hit by the high-speed horse, or kicked and trampled to death by the front legs of the strong horse.

Not to mention the heavy cavalry, even if it was just a light cavalry, as long as it was not hung down by a wooden stake, it could generally run into at least five layers of defense line, causing seven or eight Tang Army foot soldiers to be killed or injured in an instant, and lose their combat effectiveness.

Under this harsh casualty exchange ratio, the only chance for the Tang army is that among the seven or eight people who were killed and wounded, one or two people successfully stabbed the spear in their hands into the belly of the war horse, or directly stabbed the Khitan cavalry down, otherwise this Khitan cavalry could break through a few more layers and kill or injure five or six more Tang soldiers!

These thousand Khitan cavalry rushed into the Tang Army front on the mud all over the ground, and the report card was brushed out in an instant!

In just a dozen seconds after the two armies came into contact, in addition to the Khitans themselves falling and killing more than 100 horsemen along the way, after two consecutive waves of slapping the Tang army's front, they paid the price of nearly 700 Khitan cavalry falling off their horses, and successfully killed nearly 2,000 Tang troops! And he also knocked off half of the thickness of the formation of the third regiment of the Tang Army and cut it into two pieces!

There are still more than 100 Khitan heavy cavalry that have not yet fallen off their horses, and they are still fighting a bloody road along a straight route, directly penetrating the entire formation thickness of the third regiment of the Tang Army, and rushing into the camp of the fifth regiment of the Tang Army behind.

The Fifth Regiment of the Tang Army had just climbed up from the small river at this time, and before it was ready, it was rushed in by more than 100 Khitan heavy cavalry.

Seeing that the formation of the Fifth Regiment was about to be chaotic, the Tang Junlang of the Fifth Regiment rushed over in time with a few captains, and used brute force to defeat a few Khitan heavy cavalry, forcing them to stop turning and have to continue to run forward, rushing into the crowded small river, and finally let this group of heavy cavalry either drown or be stabbed to death by the Tang army who was crossing the river in the river.

However, at this time, more than half of the casualties of the three regiments of the Tang Army that crossed the small river chong, their morale plummeted, and everyone rushed to escape, and the fifth regiment, which had just crossed half of the river, was also rushed by the hundred or so heavy cavalry, and more than 300 people died.

The cavalry that came out of the Khitan camp and lined up was more than a thousand horsemen, and there were four thousand horsemen behind!

At this time, the second Khitan thousand-man cavalry began to charge.

Two hundred people in a row, a total of five rows, the standard cluster charge formation, the speed is getting faster and faster, towards the tens of thousands of Tang Army foot soldiers who are messing into a pot of porridge and running all over the ground!

The first regiment of the Tang Army had moved to the left at this time, and when they saw that the third and fifth regiments behind them were in chaos, the second thousand-man cavalry team of the Khitan Army was speeding up, where did they dare to go back, and I don't know who shouted: "Run!" ”

Then they all ran back!

It's also messed up!

Zuo Lang, the commander of the first regiment of the Tang Army, saw that the general trend had gone, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, and was about to turn around and join the fleeing ranks with more than a dozen of his own personal soldiers, when he suddenly saw a few cavalry on the left side of the mist, and then more and more cavalry wearing Tang Army uniforms poured out, speeding up and rushing towards the side of the Khitan cavalry.

It's Fu Yanqing, Lord Fu's 10,000 cavalry has arrived!

It's just that Nima is running at the front, how is it a chariot?

Four horses in full armor dragged a strangely shaped chariot with oversized wheels on each side, and on the chariot stood a large and vigorous yellow-haired man, with a drop-shaped shield with a large door panel in his left hand and a silver and red cherry spear in his right hand.

The yellow-haired man is just wearing armor on his body, not wearing a helmet, and his long golden hair is scattered over his shoulders. While galloping his horse, he laughed loudly, and roared like thunder on the ground:

"So-and-so! Human butchers! Joseph. Bowman. Pei Fangshan, come to take the life of the dog! ”
