Chapter 201: The Bloody Battle of the Breakout
Yelu Kumasi ran after Zhecongyuan, but was taken around the lake by Zhecongyuan, and then turned back, and his heart suddenly became suspicious.
But at this time, seeing that they were about to catch up with the tail that was far away, where would they give up the pursuit now. It's just that I didn't think about going around the lake for a week, and not long after continuing the pursuit, I saw two large cavalry units suddenly appear behind the hillside on the right!
Really! The Tiande army in front deliberately fled in order to set up this bureau! .
The characteristic of cavalry operations in large brigades is that once someone pursues from behind, it is very difficult to turn the situation around. But if there were cavalry flanks of the same size coming from the side, it would be a different matter.
Yelu Kuma made a quick decision, immediately gave up continuing the pursuit, led the team to turn, and rushed towards the cavalry team of Mi Liang!
That's all it takes to fight hard!
Although the combat quality of the Khitan cavalry was much higher than that of the Tiande cavalry, if Yelu Kuma wanted to break through from the encirclement of three 5,000-strong Tiande cavalry, he had to take advantage of the short moment when he was far away from being able to return to attack, and completely crush and penetrate the cavalry of Mi Jiaoliang head-on, and at the same time bear the impact of another 5,000-strong cavalry of Zhede from the flank!
Jerukuma has reached the most dangerous moment!
React a little late, or be slightly entangled by the two Tiande cavalry in front, and wait until the troops from far away return to form a second flank impact, that is the end of this Khitan elite cavalry!
The Khitan officers and soldiers who had a little common sense of the battlefield also saw the danger at this time!
Although it was very tiring to pursue Zhe Congyuan before, all the Khitan cavalry at this time lifted up their greatest spirit and rushed towards the oncoming Mi Liang Army at the fastest speed without reservation!
On the side of the Tiande Army, Mi Baoliang is also an experienced general on the battlefield, and of course he instantly saw the key point of the situation!
There's no way, since the Khitan chose this direction, let's work hard!
Mi Baoliang quickly put together the heavy cavalry in front of the array into three Dayang formations, and arranged the array more closely, hoping to hold the Khitan army a little longer, waiting for Zhe Delan's flank attack and Zhi Congyuan's second flank attack.
The two armies are approaching rapidly, and that's all Mi Liangliang can do!
The five yang formations on the front line of the Khitan army, like sharp long knives, cut into the front line of the Mi Liang army in one fell swoop!
Cavalry hedge, a little less courage and combat power, will instantly decide the victory, not to mention that the cavalry of 5,000 people led by Yelu Kuma is not an ordinary Khitan cavalry!
The other two Khitan armies of 5,000 people that were destroyed before were mostly Khitan armies composed of soldiers from vassal nationalities such as Rouran, although the equipment was the same, but the level of training and combat courage were far behind.
The 5,000 troops led by Yelu Kuma and the 5,000 troops led by Yelu Bugu add up to a total of 10,000 cavalry, all of which are authentic Khitan cavalry from the Xilamulun River!
This 10,000-strong army is known as the elite cavalry of Fengzhou, and it is the real hole card of the southwest recruitment division!
The gap in equipment and training level was vividly demonstrated at the moment when the front line of the Khitan Army and the Tiande Army came into contact!
Every cavalry member of the Tiande Army who is a party member hates the Khitans to the core, and everyone moves forward bravely with a mortal heart, but when the two armies collide, the forward Yang Formation of the Khitan Army still crushed the three Yang Formations of the Tiande Army in an instant!
Yes, of the five Khitan Yang Formations, three of them all collided head-on with the three Yang Formations of the Tiande Army! Then there was the high-speed squeeze and blood struggle on the front, but it only lasted for a second, and the Yang Array of the Khitan Army all smashed the Yang Array of the Tiande Army, forming a breakthrough, and countless Khitan cavalry quickly cut into the inner line of the Tiande Army, and the follow-up Tiande Army was scattered and fled, and the entire Tiande Army of 5,000 people was like a strip of cloth that was torn, and was cut into strips of cloth to fight separately, and countless soldiers of the Tiande Army fell off their horses under the wielding of the long knife of the Khitan Army, embarrassed!
Before the front line collided, Mi Baoliang had already hid in the tenth row behind, but who would have thought that this Khitan cavalry would be so fierce that it would instantly destroy the front line of the Tiande Army as soon as it made contact!
In the blink of an eye, the heavy cavalry of the Khitan army at the head of the row had rushed to Mi Baoliang, and in front of them were all three-hole fully enclosed helmets that were exactly the same as those of the Zhenwu army!
We all know that the frontal collision of the Khitan heavy cavalry, even if you are the second of the top ten heroes of the Western Regions, it will not be able to resist!
Mi Baoliang hurriedly pulled the horse's head and dodged to the side, the spear in his hand had already spun out a ball of silver light, knocking the three Khitan heavy cavalry in the way to smash, and when the gun was dragged back, he stabbed it from the side of the Khitan army's slightly loosely arranged yang array, directly pierced the helmet of a Khitan heavy cavalryman, and knocked the Khitan soldier's head and helmet away on the spot.
At this time, the cavalry of the Tiande Army standing in front of Mi Baoliang had already been exhausted, and Mi Baoliang could only lead a dozen personal soldiers behind him to quickly slide from the side of this Khitan Yang Formation and quickly flash to the side.
The cavalry of the Khitan Army, who had not completely broken away from the dense formation, suddenly forked a huge trident!
Mi Baoliang happened to meet Yelu Kumasi, who was also wrapped in the cavalry of the Khitan army!
The spear of the second place of the top ten heroes of the Western Regions and the trident of the fifth place of the top ten heroes of the Khitan collided fiercely in mid-air! There was a loud crashing sound.
The violent impact surged towards both ends, and both sides felt the other's strength at the same time.
The trident in Yelukuma's hand immediately spun around, jammed the head of Mi Baoliang's spear, and pressed down hard, trying to drag Mi Liangliang to let go of the spear.
Mi Baoliang's ability is not vegetarian, where will he take away the spear in his hand! didn't resist, just pushed forward directly, stabbing straight towards the opponent's waist, so frightened that Yelu Kumasi hurriedly erected a lance to block Feimi's gun.
At the same time, the three Khitan cavalrymen beside Yelu Kumasi also stretched out their swords and slashed at Mi Baoliang at the same time!
At this time, the ability of the second place of the top ten heroes of the Western Regions to press the bottom of the box was revealed.
I saw that Mi Baoliang did not panic at all, and the end of the gun in his hand turned sideways, blocking a long knife, and then turned over his shoulder, giving way to the second knife between the lightning and flint. When the third knife came, a personal soldier behind Mi Baoliang rushed up in time, was scraped down by the third knife of the Khitan soldier, and used his life to block a knife for Mi Baoliang.
It's too late, it's too fast, the two generals have already made a mistake in one round, and there is no chance to fight the second round.
The two continued to sweep away the enemy's other cavalry in front of them, turning away from each other.
The 5,000 Khitan Fengzhou elite cavalry really lived up to its reputation, quickly defeated Mi Baoliang's 5,000 army, and maintained the speed and momentum of the forward charge, but at this moment, the 5,000 army of Zhede had already cut in from the side.
The cavalry brigade running at high speed was killed from the side, and suddenly rushed into chaos in the second half of the Khitan army, and the cavalry shouts and swords and guns on both sides sounded, and the cavalry fell to the ground one after another.
Although the quality of the Tiande army is far from that of the Khitan army, once one side of the cavalry battle forms a side impact on the other, the advantage is very obvious!
After paying the price of more than 1,000 cavalry, the Zhedeyan army finally stopped the 5,000 troops of Jelu Kuma! This side attack caused nearly 1,000 casualties to the Khitan army in an instant, and the last few hundred people were also drowned by the follow-up Tiande cavalry!
By the time Zhi Congyuan came back with 5,000 troops, Yelu Kuma had already led less than 3,000 Khitan cavalry to penetrate Mi Zhuoliang's troops, escaped Zhi Congyuan's second flanking attempt in time, and quickly fled to the west!
"Chasing?"
"No, let them go." Zhi Congyuan's face was still calm, which stopped Zhi Deyuan from wanting to continue the pursuit.
He didn't want to over-wear the Tiande army now!
This 5,000 elite cavalry of Jerukuma is really powerful. Even in such an unfavorable situation, it still efficiently penetrated the Tiande army and broke out of the encirclement.
In less than five minutes just now, Mi Liangliang's 5,000 troops were completely crushed, and less than 2,000 people were recovered, and there were still nearly 2,000 casualties on the side of Zhedelan under the advantage of flanking attacks!
The Khitan army suffered nearly 1,500 casualties, while the Tiande army lost nearly 5,000 people.
Coupled with the previous ambush of another Khitan cavalry in the swamp, in fact, this morning, the Tiande army had already lost nearly 6,000 people!
The Tiande army has a total of 20,000 people, and a third of it is missing at once, and of course it is distressed.
Forget it, stratagem is stratagem, when it really comes to the Khitan army, the current Tiande army is not an opponent, and it still needs time to train and upgrade equipment!
Just when Zhi Congyuan personally led the Tiande army to fight with the Khitan army, He Daxian's side was already ready to attack the city.
A row of 80 trebuchets has been installed, and the briquettes soaked in fire oil, which are unique to Zhenwu Army, have also been installed on the launch pads.
General Zhao Pingzhao, the envoy of the Zhenwu Army, was riding on a horse at this time, looking at the dense Khitan defenders on the city wall of Yunnei Prefecture, with no expression on his face. The palm of his hand quietly pinched his fingers and counted, the time was just right, and now was a good time to kill people and set fires!
"Launch!" (To be continued.) )
