Chapter 208: Confrontation by the River

In a row of three people, the two thousand heavy cavalry of the Zhenwu Army were like a train, rumbling across the big stone bridge, stepping on the corpses of countless Khitan cavalry, rushing across the opposite bank, and plunging into the chaotic Khitan cavalry array.

Didn't you say that the Khitans had already turned around and ran?

In fact, to be precise, it was the Khitan people who lost their morale, and everyone turned their heads and "wanted to run".

But after all, this is a big battlefield with a total strength of more than 10,000 troops on both sides! It's not like dozens of street fighters are fighting in the opening film! Thousands of people are so dense behind you that even if everyone wants to run, they won't be able to run at all!

The heavy cavalry of the Zhenwu Army, which was well-trained and armed to the teeth, plunged headlong into the frightened and poorly equipped Khitan amateur cavalry formation, and the results can be imagined!

Like a hot knife cut into butter, there is no effective blocking, under the Zhenwu army knife formation flying up and down, these amateur Khitan cavalry completely lost the will to fight, just ran blindly with their heads bored, either knocked down by the Zhenwu army, or squeezed down by their own people or even slashed over to open the way, countless people fell off their horses, broken limbs and wreckage flew around, every heavy cavalry of the Zhenwu Army was stained with the blood of the bright red Khitans, and the blood on the body was sky-high!

People are infected! No matter how cowardly a person is, he will become an invincible killing god in this environment!

The heavy cavalry of the Zhenwu Army was stimulated by the bloody gas that was so thick that it was suffocating, everyone looked hideous and excited, and the long knives in their hands rhythmically swept back and forth in accordance with the requirements of daily training, gritting their teeth and sweeping back and forth in unison, and the war horses leaned closely against each other, the sword light was impenetrable, and the heavy horse hooves constantly knocked through layer after layer of fleeing Khitan cavalry, tearing a big hole in the array of the Khitan amateur light cavalry in front of them, and the formation was chiseled to sparse pieces!

After the three heavy cavalry who rushed to the front crossed the bridge to make a bloody path, they began to slow down and then maneuver to the left, and the three heavy cavalry behind also clung closely, forming a row with the three in front. Three in a group, three in a group, soon the front line of the heavy cavalry of the Zhenwu Army changed from three to thirty at the beginning, and due to the previous slowdown, the Khitan army in front had retreated more than twenty meters, just giving up enough space for acceleration.

As soon as the front line of the thirty horsemen was formed, in the shouts of a gang leader, they immediately accelerated forward again!

Thanks to the usual strict training of crossing the bridge and charging into battle, the heavy cavalry of the 2,000 Zhenwu Army all rushed across the river without difficulty, and formed three phalanxes on the march, each with a platoon of thirty people, a total of ten platoons!

When the first three phalanxes launched a charge to cover forward, four more phalanxes quickly formed behind, and then chased after them closely!

All 2,000 heavy cavalry successfully crossed the Great Black River!

The rhythm of the drums that never stopped, became more impatient at this time, and the light cavalry behind them, who were much more dexterous, didn't care what formation they didn't have, and what was more important than seizing the time to cross the river!

Squad after group of light cavalry rushed across the big stone bridge, spread out behind the heavy cavalry phalanx, and then swept over both sides of the flank of the heavy cavalry phalanx at high speed, accelerating forward to pursue the remnants of the Khitan.

When nearly 3,000 light cavalry of the Zhenwu Army crossed the bridge, Zhao Ping and his senior generals also followed and ran across the big stone bridge.

The remaining 3,000 amateur Khitan cavalry just now was no longer able to look at it at all, and at a glance, the wide river beach and grassland were full of black and oppressive "crow army", where could you still see the shadow of the Khitan cavalry!

A total of 8,000 Khitan cavalry guarding the river in the first wave were all routed or wiped out.

Another crisp array sounded, the heavy cavalry of the Zhenwu Army stopped, packed up the ranks and moved closer to each other, re-arrayed, the three heavy cavalry phalanxes that rushed in front just now retreated to the rear, and the four heavy cavalry phalanxes behind ran to the front array, and quickly formed the core heavy cavalry lineup of the first four and three in the center of the battlefield.

The four remaining God of War chariots of the Zhenwu Army were also majestically lined up at the forefront at this time, and the two God of War chariots in the middle were none other than Pei Baoman, the butcher of the world, and Wang Caiyun, the butcher of the world!

Just now, the Zhenwu army defeated a group of Khitan business cavalry, and now the Khitan regular army, and the elite cavalry are coming!

The water vapor slowly floating on the ground on both sides of the river was being disturbed by the continuous emergence of large-scale people, and nearly 10,000 elite Khitan cavalry from Fengzhou swarmed out of the water vapor and appeared in view.

The light cavalry of the Zhenwu Army, which was running around, also quickly gathered back, and those who had not crossed the river continued to cross the river, and all those who crossed the river followed behind the heavy cavalry phalanx, forming a light cavalry phalanx one after another.

Yelu Bugu and Yelu Kuma Si together took 10,000 elite cavalry from Fengzhou and stopped at a distance of two miles from the Tang army.

Yelu's gray hair floated out of the gap under his helmet, and the yellow cloak on his shoulders hunted in the river breeze.

What's going on?

Eight thousand cavalry, can't stop the Zhenwu army from crossing the river from this narrow stone bridge? This is not scientific!

Jerukuma didn't figure it out either.

He didn't feel sorry for the 8,000 amateur cavalry, but he saw with his own eyes that the thousands of cavalry Zhenwu troops had completed the crossing of the river in the blink of an eye, not only killing the 8,000 Khitan soldiers almost to the fullest, but also almost no losses himself!

Yelu Bugu and Yelu Kuma glanced at each other, both of them were under a lot of pressure!

There are less than 10,000 elite cavalry in Fengzhou behind them, and they are the last team of the Southwest Recruitment Division.

It is obvious that the thousands of Tang troops in front of them, known as the Zhenwu Army, are completely different from other Tang Army units known to the Khitans, their combat power is very strong, and their morale is high. Maybe you won't be able to win even if you are all dead!

Fight, I'm not sure, run away, don't you want the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Fengzhou City behind you?

The Zhenwu army had already completed the formation at this time, but did not launch an attack immediately, but quietly assembled and deployed in the same place in the dark.

Although the more than 7,000 Zhenwu troops who had crossed the river did not move for the time being, the other 10,000 original Shuofang Lingzhou troops who had not crossed the river stopped camping one after another, directly abandoned the camp, began to assemble one thousand people and one thousand people, and then quickly ran along the Dahei River and rumbled northeast on the other side of the river.

"Lord Lu Bugu, beware of the Tang Army's fraud."

"I'm afraid those Tang troops on the other side of the river will copy our back road."

It seems that there is no benefit in starting a decisive battle with the 7,000 Zhenwu army in front, but if the confrontation continues, I am afraid that the situation will become more and more complicated, God knows which shoal on the other side of the river will suddenly cross the river to the rear of the Khitan army!

In the middle of his hesitation, the scout came to report another piece of bad news.

"Report! 20,000 Tang troops appeared on the west road, hung the banner of the Tiande army, and fought against our 20,000 cavalry on the Donghe riverbank, and our army was defeated. ”

This news is about the more than 10,000 Tiantian German troops led by Zhi Congyuan, who bypassed the western road and encountered another Khitan amateur cavalry unit on the Donghe beach at the three-fork crossing.

When the party members and the Khitan people met, they were naturally very angry, and they immediately launched a decisive charge!

Although the Tiande Army was originally from the Dingyan Army, and its strength was much worse than that of the Zhenwu Army, after all, it was still a regular army composed of professional cavalry, and the elite cavalry of Fengzhou who fought the Khitan Army could not beat it, but it was still relatively easy to beat these amateur Khitan cavalry.

The amateur cavalry of the Khitan Army, which is composed of brave herdsmen, has never seen a large battlefield of tens of thousands of cavalry charging into battle!

Not to mention the failure of command and the difficulty of scheduling, even in the most basic combat units, even the yin and yang formations could not be discharged, and they were killed by tens of thousands of people in the Tiande army, and the impact formation was chiseled through at multiple points, and it was completely chaotic, and it became a situation of tens of thousands of people in less than a minute after the two armies came into contact!

There is no way around this, these newly recruited amateur cavalry have lost two formations, and the Khitan army actually has no other family background.

Yelu Bugu and Jelu Kuma looked at each other again, and everyone understood that the general trend had gone!

"Lord Lu Bugu, please lead the army to withdraw first, after Kuma Si brings his own three thousand army halls, we will see you in Jining."

Yelulu didn't hesitate for a moment, and he had no choice but to do so. As for Toyosu, just ask for a lot of blessings!

The quality of the elite cavalry of the Khitan army in Fengzhou was much higher than that of the previous amateur cavalry, and with a few simple orders, three thousand Khitan cavalry went out to the expedition, extending to both sides, and with a few simple small turns, more than 6,000 people in the rear slowly broke away from the front team under the leadership of Yelu Lu Bugu, and began to retreat, and then divided a thousand fast horses to run in the direction of Fengzhou City.

Their task is to take away the families of those high-ranking officials and some important figures, as for the hundreds of thousands of Khitan people in the city, then they can't take care of it!

The array of the Zhenwu Army remained quiet and stable, and the team of black pressure had been waiting in place for more than half an hour.

He Daxian stood at the front of the queue alone, watching the 10,000 Khitan troops in front of him skillfully change formations and separate, and did not give any orders.

Of course, he knew the power of this elite cavalry in Fengzhou in front of him!

Everyone knows the news that the 5,000 Dingyan Army led by Mi Baoliang was defeated head-on by this elite cavalry of Fengzhou, and for this kind of hard bones, the Zhenwu Army naturally can not fight without fighting.

We just came here to fight, and we didn't come to fight the Khitans.

The main purpose of the Zhenwu army's invasion of the Khitan territory was to grab money, food, and women, and supplement the population and material resources of the Zhenwu army. Of course, by the way, pulling out the nail of the southwest recruitment division and opening up a base area for Zhecongyuan is also one of the incidental results.

The Zhenwu Army is on the road of elite soldiers, and every Zhenwu Army soldier is a treasure in He Daxian's eyes. At present, the strategic goal of looting in the north is about to be achieved, where is it willing to consume the precious lives of the soldiers of the Zhenwu Army at this juncture!

Escape, you all flee to Jining, I only need 100,000 women in Fengzhou City! (To be continued.) )
