Chapter 61: The Descendants of Kong Ming
Don't let it go when you pass by, ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for rewards-
The Tang army's arrow rain had been shot nine times, and the light cavalry in and on both sides of the pit were killed and wounded, trampling on each other, and even many heavy cavalry on the side of the pit were knocked down.
The Khitan iron cavalry is rampant all over the world and has rich experience on the battlefield. They are not afraid of battle, nor are they afraid of death, but in such a situation where they can neither hit the enemy, nor can they dodge the enemy's bow and arrow, and they do not know what to do, they do not know what to do, but there is a great sense of fear in the bottom of people's hearts for no reason.
Many people were frightened and began to shoot their horses and run back.
However, when they saw Wu Lizhen rushing over with more than seventy light cavalry, the arrogance of the powerful soldiers who were deep in their blood seemed to be awakened again, and without saying a word, they turned around and followed the iron-faced Wu Lizhen back to the edge of the long pit again.
Wu Lizhen is not a good player at charging into battle, and his strength lies in grasping the situation in an instant and correctly arranging troops.
The pit was full of dead and wounded light cavalry, and at a glance, the men who were able to stand up or mount their horses to fight, plus the more than seventy people they had brought with them, probably less than one hundred and fifty remained.
Five hundred people rushed over, and only one hundred and fifty people were left to move? Still embarrassed by the hundreds of archers on the other side? Looking like you're going to retreat?
Where is this what the Khitan soldiers look like!
Wu Lizhen was furious.
Wu Lizhen paid no attention to the wounded soldiers or dead corpses, and quickly issued a few short orders and gestures, and the remaining thirty or so heavy cavalry immediately dismounted, armed with long knives, and began to walk through the long pit, while the other light cavalry quickly opened a long and scattered line of skirmishers, and then rushed forward across the long pit together.
This is the correct on-the-spot reaction of a senior officer, and the only correct way to deal with an archer with a skirmisher!
The tenth, eleventh, and twelfth rounds of arrow rain that the Tang Army archers continued to shoot over, it seemed that they were still so ferocious, but in total, they shot down less than ten light cavalry who were climbing the pit, and hundreds of Khitans had already rushed to the other side of the pit!
Well done, the Khitan army really hides the dragon and the crouching tiger, and there are many masters, and it deserves to be the strongest army in the contemporary world!
He Daxian admired such a smart general very much, his eyes showed a glint of appreciation, and then with a wave of his hand, he led one hundred and fifty Tang cavalry out from the foot of the mountain.
Looking from the position of the Don Army in the direction of Changkeng, we can imagine the scene of a movie theater. The location of the screen is the long pit, and the trench where the archers of the Tang Army are hiding is a row of seats. There is a passage in the middle of the layers of seats on the left and right, and there is also a passage on the left and right sides of the entire cinema, and these three passages are the roads left for the cavalry of the Tang Army.
One hundred and fifty Tang cavalry led by General Zhao Ping, the commander of the Zhenwu patrol, suddenly turned out from the passage on the right, rushed all the way to the direction of the screen, and then turned left, along the open space between the screen and the first row of seats, that is, about seventy or eighty meters between the long pit and the first Tang army archer trench, all the way along the long pit accelerated, and pounced on the Khitans who had just rushed out of the long pit!
In the thunderous roar of horses' hooves, the cavalry battle was fought in an instant, and the advantages and disadvantages were so obvious!
The Tang army is one hundred and fifty Zhao family troops, all heavy cavalry equipment! Everyone wears helmets, iron cuirasses, iron battle skirts, and even the war horses are wrapped in thick ten-percent cowhide!
But the Khitan army was riding on horses, but they were all light cavalry, and they didn't even have a piece of iron on their bodies!
The only thirty or so Khitan heavy cavalrymen equipped with the same armor as the Tang army did not ride horses, but walked on the ground stupidly. The little general Wu Lizhen sent them over to kill the infantry, who would have thought that the enemy cavalry suddenly appeared!
The Tang army had already prepared this route, this tactic, and lined up into five rows of dense right-handed knife formations, with the same action of the "Qiankun Douqi Golden Spear Technique", only chopping, chopping, blocking three moves, like a large combine harvester pressed the ground and rolled over.
The Khitan army didn't expect to fight against the Tang cavalry here, and they were vigorously guarding against the rain of arrows that the opponent's archers might shoot at any time, and everyone was very scattered, not even in formation. The enemy's cavalry brigade suddenly rushed out from the flank, forcing everyone to fight separately and hastily.
He Daxian's two tricks, "Banner Soldier" and "Human Bone Whistle", have not yet been used, but the simple heavy cavalry has formed a crushing of the light cavalry, and the battle has been completely one-sided without suspense.
As the heavyweight giant lance in He Daxian's hand flew left and right, after flying three Khitan light cavalry in a row, more Khitan light cavalry and the Khitan "foot heavy cavalry" who had no time to retreat to the long pit were frantically swept into the dense Tang army heavy cavalry array.
The continuous and fierce collision of weapons, the blood and flesh flying were accompanied by various screams and the sound of war horses rolling on the ground, and the speed of the heavy cavalry sequence of the Tang Army did not decrease at all, as if the heavy tank was crushing all the way over, and the Khitan people who had no intention of fighting and frantically fleeing for their lives were like mechanized pigs, and quickly swept away from the south bank of the long pit, and there was no one left!
As soon as the rolling sand and dust passed, two heads stretched out from the trenches of the Tang Army's archers, and while looking at the figures that appeared on the opposite side after the sand and dust gradually settled, they drew their bows to prepare for sniping.
"Lord Xiaowu, why did Lord Zhao call us a fart sniper team?"
The body has not fully recovered, but it has not prevented Shan Wu, who has drawn a bow and archery, and his face has become serious: "My lord said, the archery master must be able to listen to the eight directions and see the eight directions, if you can't even hear the opponent's fart, then you have to practice for at least ten years!" ”
"This"
"Less, you know a fart!" Shan Wu was impatient, the arrow swung slightly, and aimed at the Khitan general who had just emerged from the smoke and dust, stretched his neck and stood on the opposite bank stupidly.
It is said that with Wu Lizhen's ability as a "little general", it is not so easy for Shan Wu to sneak attack with this arrow. It's just that on the one hand, although his own martial arts are also good, he has long been used to pretending to be a Confucian general, and he is not keen on fighting and killing with his own hands, on the other hand, he was startled by the Tang Army's sudden appearance of the heavy cavalry array, patronizing and pondering what was going on, and did not pay attention to his own safety at all, plus it was true that the Tang Army's heavy cavalry array swept all the way, making up a lot of dust, and his vision and senses were greatly affected, and when he found that a black shadow was coming straight to his throat, it was too late.
Shan Wu's arrow was stuck right in Wu Lizhen's neck, and the huge impact directly knocked Wu Lizhen off the horse.
In the third year of Qingtai, the great hero in the eyes of the Khitan people, the little general Wulizhen, known as "Xijing Dao Xiao Kongming", died in Shenchi Valley.
The iron cavalry of the Zhao family army swept all the way, more than 100 Khitan light cavalry and more than 30 Khitan heavy cavalry on foot were all spared, only three horses fell off the horse on the Tang army's side, the war horse was finished, but the people were only slightly injured, just rest for a few days.
Seeing that there were few Khitan soldiers still riding on horses, He Daxian shouted:
"The light cavalry come out and clean up the battlefield!"
About 200 Shenchi militiamen, who had no armor on their bodies, all kinds of clothes, and all kinds of weapons in their hands, rushed out on horseback, happily crossed the long pit, and went to kill the wounded Khitan soldiers, snatch their weapons and money and jewelry, cut off their heads, and if they were lucky, they could bring back one or two uninjured horses.
Seeing that those Tang Army archers were panting with hot eyes, when He Daxian returned with the heavy cavalry, he also issued a stern order at the same time:
"The Tang Army's infantry army is fortified in situ and must not move! Violators will be spared! ”
Jeruzachel heard the shouts of murder and all sorts of gimbled voices coming from the other side of the wall, and a smile appeared on his lips.
He was not afraid of fighting, nor was he afraid of any losses, but he was afraid that the Tang army would hide or run away.
This area is surrounded by mountains, and if the Tang army avoids fighting, it will still be very troublesome, because Emperor Yelu Deguang only gave them three days to deal with this Tang army, and after three days they must rush to Taiyuan to rejoin the emperor.
Since they have caught up and fought, then there is no big problem.
Regardless of whether the five hundred people in front of them can win or not, after all, they are only a thousand Tang Army foot soldiers.
Even if the stupid rice bucket of Wu Lizhen ruined all the five hundred horsemen in front of him, wouldn't there be five hundred horsemen behind Jeruza's cut?
Jeruzah didn't say anything, but in his heart he actually looked down on Urizhen very much.
What kind of thing is Wu Lizhen, this big liar who sells his reputation and reputation, actually paid twenty bards to sing his Wu Lizhen's title of "Little Kongming" everywhere on the Xijing Road prairie! Such a brazen person actually mixed into the great Khitan army! After singing, he was afraid that others would not believe it, and made up a story, saying that his ancestor Zeng Zeng Zeng's great-great-great-grandmother was plundered by the Han people to Shu to be a singer when he was young, and entertained Prime Minister Zhuge for one night, and gave birth to a son, that is, his great-grandfather, Yunyun.
It's a joke, Zhuge Kongming, who would fall in love with a stinky and dirty slave woman like your great-grandmother! It's ridiculous!
While he was thinking wildly, Jeruzacian saw a dozen Khitan cavalry galloping out of the broken gate of the pass like rats escaping from the fire
Well? Is there something bad that has been said by his own crow's mouth again?
