The 3,000 cavalry led by Zong Wang rushed to the night for the first time, the distance was less than forty miles, and they definitely caught up in half an hour. Let him pick up some scraps behind him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zong Wang is really ruthless enough to lead the troops, each of them rides in pairs, changes horses in turn, and maintains a high-speed pursuit.

The 5,000-strong army was delayed for a quarter of an hour from gathering men and horses to leaving the camp in full gear. This quarter of an hour is enough for Zong Wang to throw him ten miles away, and Hulu has always eaten more and occupied more, but now that he can only eat some soup and water, he is naturally anxious to get angry.

Along the way, he reprimanded again and again, urging everyone to chase with all his might, and at the same time stimulating everyone, catching Xiao Gan is the highest congratulatory gift for Emperor Aguta. Suddenly, the speed of Hulu's men soared to one hundred and twenty miles per hour.

Zong Wang kept receiving information from the spies, thirty miles, twenty miles, ten miles, five miles, and at first glance, he saw a torch like a star, covering the Lanquan River Valley.

Zong Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and finally caught up!

The Liao army actually staggered, and tens of thousands of people tried in vain to crowd across the river valley, but in the end it became a big congestion. From one hour to now, only more than 10,000 people have retreated, and 20,000 people are blocked at the mouth of the valley.

Zong Wang watched for a while on the west bank of the river, "cross the bridge and prepare to sprint"

This decision itself is not wrong, but if you put it on the terrain of the Lanquan River Valley, it will be problematic. The Lanquan River valley seems to be open, but in fact, under the weeds, there are many ravines, the road is more tortuous, and the valley mouth can accommodate twenty or thirty horsemen to pass side by side, and gradually narrow inward, which is not conducive to large-scale cavalry charge.

This is also why Xiao Gan chose such an unexpected place to block.

Zong Wang was deceived by a large area of wild grass, and all the cavalry entered the valley, and because of the special terrain, the queue gradually lengthened, and the speed slowed down. At this time, the Liao army made a panicked sound, and many people fled.

With the help of the torches of the Liao army, Zong Wang judged that about 10,000 people gathered in the narrow part of the river valley and used horses and vehicles to build rudimentary fortifications. Only two hundred men were sent to make a tentative assault.

Watching the Jurchen cavalry pressing forward step by step, a part of the Liao army actually had the courage to turn around and resist the iron cavalry. Many Liao officers also realized the danger and beat the soldiers who tried to flee and regrouped them behind the fortifications.

At this time, if you scatter and flee, then it is easy to be chased and killed by the Jurchens, it is better to gather a group of desperate resistance, and the chances of survival will increase a lot. Therefore, senior officers constantly encourage and inculcate this skill of battlefield survival.

The pikemen stepped forward and lined up in three columns, their spears raised diagonally. Three hundred steps for crossbowmen, rocket range. Swordmen and shieldmen take care to protect pikemen and crossbowmen. ”

"Don't be afraid, there are only more than 1,000 Jurchens, and we have 20,000 people, twenty to fight one, and win steadily. Quickly pack up your weapons, cut off the head of a golden dog, and you can receive ten times of reward."

"Bastard, can you outrun a horse on two feet? Before you could run out of the valley, you were trampled into a pulp by the horse of the golden dog, so hurry back to the team! ”

Slowly, the Liao army gradually moved closer to the fortifications, but the first wave of Zongwang's attack had already begun, and two hundred Jurchens immediately cheered and slaughtered the Liao army. At night, the bows and crossbows of the Jurchen knights also have quite accurate heads, and if they do not work, they will have to charge into battle.

Pu Aima is at the heart of the defensive line, taking control of the battle as a whole. Listening to the sound of horses' hooves, he knew that the first wave of Jurchens began to charge, and judging by the size of the voice, it had already entered the firing range, "Three hundred steps, put!" Two hundred steps, put! One hundred steps, put! ”

The Jurchens did not directly rush into the Liao army array, but crossed an arc from left to right and then circled the Zongwang place. The number of people counted, 200 people attacked, only more than 170 people came back, the accuracy of the Liao army's night archery is not high, this is a good opportunity.

The assault of the whole army is not a wave, but a concentrated attack on the left flank of the Liao army in waves, and if the left flank is defeated, it will naturally force the Liao army to be in chaos, and then it will be defeated, and then it will be pursued, and the casualties are estimated to be 200 people, and it will take an hour, which is enough.

However, some things often cannot be inferred by common sense, such as this time Xiao Gan carefully set up an ambush, gathered 50,000 elites, and with the help of the terrain, he resolutely defeated the 8,000 Jin army, and then swept through Fengsheng City and captured Ah Guta alive. If you can beat the rabbit with grass and solve Han Wang by the way, it will be worth the money.

Zong Wang spilled all the three thousand people at once, and Pu Aima smiled, sure enough, he was a proud Jurchen, too confident.

The wings are encircled! The Liao army that escaped from the river valley actually went around to the left and right sides of the river valley in two ways, forming a huge pocket. Three hundred steps, when the Jurchens began to speed up, five or six thousand crossbowmen suddenly appeared on the left and right sides, condescending, constituting waves of dense arrow rain.

Zong Wang's head was blank, ambush! After more than ten years, I actually won the plan!

Xiao Gan, your grandma!

When the Jurchen knights broke through the rain of arrows, there were less than 2,000 men left, and Pu Aima foresaw this scene in advance, and the right flank of the pikemen began to quickly outflank the Jin army. The Jurchen cavalry had strong combat effectiveness, and now they were about to be surrounded, so they simply directly hit the Liao army array.

Once the cavalry approached, the crossbowmen were of little use. Instead, it's the class that needs to be protected. The Jurchen cavalry broke through the Liao army's large array with a reduction of one-third, and then fought with more than 1,000 people and nearly 20,000 Khitans.

Seeing that the Jurchen cavalry was fighting less and less, Zong Wang's heart was like a knife, and he couldn't help but think of Aguta's advice, "The Liao army is cunning, be cautious."

The horn sounded behind him, and it was Hulu coming!

Zong Wang was like a life-saving straw caught in drowning, and jumped up, "Ask for help!" ”

The hurried horn sounded, and Hulu was taken aback, which meant that Zongwang was almost wiped out, and the three thousand Jin army had not been wiped out in a battle, so he must have been ambushed, and hurried to rescue Zongwang.

Joined the 5,000-gold army, and the situation immediately changed dramatically. For the archers on the high ground on both sides, Hulu sent only a few hundred men to defeat them, and the remaining heavy troops concentrated on the main camp of Puaima. Due to the lack of archers, the soldiers under the command of Hulu were relatively lucky, and almost all of them rushed into the large formation of Pu Aima.

Because Pu Aima couldn't strangle Zongwang's remnants for a while, the periphery was strongly charged by Yulu, and gradually showed signs of collapse. In just two quarters of an hour, the Liao army suffered more than 5,000 casualties, and the Jurchen warriors' momentum became higher and higher. According to the practice of the Liao army, it was time to retreat at this time, but Pu Aima gritted his teeth and resisted.

Xiao Gan did not give him the right to retreat, but wanted to nail it to the Lanquan River Valley, knock down the last soldier, and drag the Jin army to the death. In order to cover the 25,000 elite encirclement of Polio Aobo and Shoglia, in order to capture alive the leaders of Aguta and Jurchen Bojilie, they cannot be withdrawn even if they die.

After half an hour of life-and-death fighting, the casualties of the Liao army rose sharply, with more than 10,000 casualties, and the total strength of the Jurchens was nearly 5,000, that is to say, the battle loss ratio was four to one. The main reason is that Pu Aima killed and injured the Zongwang cavalry quite badly, and directly shot nearly five or six hundred people.

Zong Wang also rushed to the forefront, frantically using a big axe to chop the Liao army that dared to block in front of him one after another. So much so that his guards were nervously protecting him, in case Zong Wang was damaged, he would have no way to live. (To be continued.) )
