"Herald! He ordered Wang Shouyi and Lu Liangqing, deputy senators, to prepare to erect two rejecting walls. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Du Ximi! Get ready to take turns shooting with your crossbowmen! Yan Chengwang saw that the heavy cavalry was not easy to deal with, and after conveying the battle order, he led a hundred of his own soldiers to join the back row of the armor-piercing cone, intending to give the opponent's heavy cavalry a head-on attack.

At the command, one hundred crossbowmen and two hundred archers came out of the gap, and waited in front of the dense repulsion spears. The yellow dust was rolling in front of him, and the heavy horses were running, and the horse's hooves landed with a muffled sound, and the momentum was amazing.

If it weren't for the veterans of a hundred battles, the soldiers with poor psychological quality would have to be frightened when they saw this heavy cavalry team pressed like a wall, and the old soldiers had calm faces, calmly loaded their crossbow arrows, and did not look up at all.

The cavalry team entered one hundred and fifty paces, and the half-crouching horned crossbowmen in the front row pulled their hanging swords in unison under the order of the officer who was watching the enemy's range, and the sound of breaking through the air swished, and the arrows flew away like locusts.

The enemy's heavy cavalry continued to gallop, but more than a dozen horses in the front middle overturned and were trampled to death in an instant. The front row of 100 crossbowmen quickly reloaded the crossbow bolts after shooting, and the last two rows were strong archers, but the lethality of the ring lock heavy armor was limited, so they waited for the enemy to enter a hundred steps before they released the arrows, and sure enough, the lethality of the heavy cavalry was not great.

But after entering eighty paces, a hundred crossbowmen in the front row finished loading, and the second shot finally caused damage to the heavy cavalry, and dozens of horses were overturned at once, and the cone head was crushed. When the crossbowman fired again, he immediately ran away to both sides, and the archers returned after firing. Because the front team couldn't return from the side, they only had time to shoot two rounds.

The Fan cavalry rushed nearly fifty or sixty paces and raised their bows in unison, throwing thousands of armor-piercing wolf tooth arrows, which crossed the shield wall and fell backwards, suddenly emitting a dense clanging sound. Although the defense of the new infantry armor of the Zhenyuan Army is strong, there are still dozens of soldiers who are too unlucky, and they are hit by the gap between the armor leaves, and they make a muffled sound, but the arrows of the armor-piercing arrows are wide, and they are generally stuck by the armor leaves.

Yan Chengwang's face sank like water, staring at the distance approaching the enemy cavalry with wide eyes, holding an armor-piercing cone that had been prepared a long time ago, and when he reached thirty or forty steps, he shouted: "Armor-piercing cone!" Put! ”

WhewW...... In addition to the spear and shield men in the front row, hundreds of soldiers waiting for the enemy in the back threw armor-piercing cones into the air together, and immediately heard a burst of people shouting and neighing from the front, and more than 100 horsemen overturned at the same time, stirring up warm dust. However, the throwing speed of the armor-piercing cone can be very fast, followed by two volleys, and it is not clear whether the enemy's cone head heavy cavalry has been completely solved, and the dust of the enemy cavalry completely obstructs the vision.

The noisy sound raised two feet of dust, making it difficult for Yan Chengwang to watch the enemy for a while, but soon the front row of guns and shields let out a loud roar, which was the enemy cavalry crashing into the horse rejection gun to deliver food by itself, and the gunner was often the first to feel it.

There was a crackling sound, and the dense repulsion rifles were first broken by the horses, or slashed by the knights on the horses, and then the enemy horses crashed into the shield wall. The soldiers in the front row, with their shoulders against the lower layer and deep into the ground shield, knelt on one knee and grinned, showing their strength, but their feet on the ground still retreated instantly. The upper tortoise shell big round shield hand, just in the gap of the lower shield hand, is standing with a straight waist, and also holds the round shield on the shoulder, but the huge force of the war horse's sudden collision is also a burst of retreat.

The clanging sound was deafening, and with each blow, the shieldmen felt their shoulders numb and their ears buzzing. But behind them is the big gunner, in a group of two, one holds the middle of the gun body, and the other holds the tail of the gun in the back, which is also uncomfortable. But this is actually the same as a fixed lever, as long as you press the tail of the gun effectively, you will be fine.

Through the gap in the shield, the shield hand can also see the outside situation, but they can't move, the gunners mainly rely on feeling, listening to the sound, holding the gun body will know whether the big gun is broken, once it is broken, they will wear another one out, and take it back at the same time.

Outside all kinds of dry sounds keep ringing, the shield wall is retreating again and again, actually stable and not falling apart, if according to the usual old style of rejecting the horse shield wall, two or three steps back will have to fall apart, but now the new big shield has been improved by Zhang Yue, each shield left and right splicing position reaches a foot wide, to be much denser, five steps back will not be bent into an arc and scattered.

The enemy's horse team kept colliding, but the infantry counterattack method was passive, and they could only keep projecting through the armor cone, and the rear row threw a rain of arrows at the same time, and the denser the enemy cavalry, the greater the casualties.

After about a pillar of incense, the front army of the Fan cavalry collided with each other, and the front echelon crashed into it and lost its speed, and immediately retreated to both sides, circled back to the rear and then formed a team, and so on. However, there were hundreds of casualties in each wave of impact, and various accidental injuries from tripping and stumbling were actually higher than those of the infantry formation.

After a cycle of collision, the front army of the Fan cavalry retreated two hundred steps and the whole team was accumulating, preparing for the next round of collision, while the Zhou army was still immovable, only retreating five steps back, showing multiple fan-shaped depressions in a twist and turn, and deep grooves on the ground were full of blood, but it was obviously not the Zhou soldiers.

Winchsch's rear army horse team followed up a certain distance, and then stopped, because the front army did not break through, and it was useless for the rear army to follow. Seeing that the Zhou army's infantry formation was so strong, and the front army had already suffered nearly half of the casualties, Wen Qishi was secretly frightened and began to wonder if the conventional tactics could break the turtle shell in front.

The Zhou army's front was actually at its limit, but as soon as the cavalry retreated and rested, Yan Chengwang seized the opportunity and immediately ordered it to be adjusted again, and the fan surface began to level again, and additional manpower was sent to replace the big gun and strengthen it again.

Wen Qishi did not give the order to retreat, and the garrison commander of the front army had to order the charge again, and after another cycle of collision, he was about to retreat to rest, but Wen Qishi saw it, and quickly sent an additional 3,000 cavalry to press, and the front army that was about to be exhausted was another round of charging and killing, and the Zhou army line was finally broken.

Wen Qishi was ecstatic, shouted and ordered the rear army to follow the full pressure at once, and followed the front army to break into the Zhou army's infantry formation, pouring into more than twenty steps like a tide, but soon the front collided with the second shield wall line and was blocked again.

Wen Qishi was still outside the formation, and when he was surprised, he suddenly saw that the left and right armies of the Zhou army suddenly began to trot forward, surrounding the horse team that was losing speed on their side, and threw pieces of armor-piercing cones before they could get close, causing a lot of casualties to the left and right sides.

The front line could not enter, and the left and right sides also had no space to move and turn, completely becoming a stalemate situation, Wen Qishi was shocked, and had to quickly lead the rear army to evacuate, as soon as he escaped from the gap, the left and right sides of the Zhou army were brought together, and all the three or four thousand horsemen of the front army were encircled and strangled with a gun and shield array.

Seeing that the front army was wrapped in dumplings, Wen Qishi raised his eyes and swept across the battlefield, his own headquarters was continuously transferred, and now there are only half of the seven thousand horsemen left, and they still have combat effectiveness, do you want to continue to rush and kill? Wen Qishi began to hesitate in his heart.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance behind him, and more than two hundred horsemen came from the southeast, and two or three knights left the team to report, only to see that the soldiers on the horses were in tatters and covered with blood, and Wen Qishi suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart.

"Report! Our troops went to attack the capture bridge, and were ambushed by three or four thousand horses of the Zhou army, and Lord Nebusong was also killed in battle! "In fact, it was ambushed by two thousand cavalry Zhou troops, and the soldiers had to exaggerate the enemy situation in order to save their lives.

"What?" Wen Qishi's face turned pale, his lips trembled for a long time and he couldn't speak, if the Zhou army had three or four thousand horsemen to go to the pontoon bridge, and they have not returned to the battlefield to participate in the battle, then where did they go now. And the 3,000 horsemen who went to attack the Gaizhu Valley have not only not returned so far, but there is no news, I am afraid that it is already more than lucky.

"Herald! Fall back! Winchsch hurriedly shouted, and when the herald beside him heard this, he took out the crooked trumpet-shaped horn and blew it vigorously with his cheeks.

Woowoo...... The horn field resounded in the sky, and the seven thousand horsemen slowly turned their horses' heads, unwillingly beating their horses and fleeing. Wen Qishi glanced at the thousands of horsemen who had fallen into the Zhou army's infantry formation from a distance, at this time they had lost their horse speed, and were gradually divided, and it was no longer possible to care whether they could escape on their own, and now his own way back was full of danger.

Half an hour later, the battle finally ended, and the Fan Cavalry fearlessly resisted desperately, but it was only a one-sided slaughter. Xuan Chongwen left Zong Jingcheng's troops to clean up the battlefield, and led thousands of soldiers from the rest of the armies to trot and follow Wen Qishi south to chase and kill.

After all, the infantry could not outrun the horses in a short distance, and by the afternoon they had chased them to the Sanggou valley thirty miles to the south, and found that the valley was already a mess, full of corpses of men and horses, and there were traces of the aftermath of the battle, but there was no one to garrison it.

Xuan Chongwen guessed that it should be Hao Tianying and Quan Daojin's two regiments of horse troops who blocked Wen Qishi here, and estimated that the pursuit was gone, so he stopped here to clean up the battlefield and ordered the soldiers to set up a large camp.

When it was dark, there was finally a herald to report, Wen Qishi fled all the way south to Jincheng Pass, but there has been captured by Shen Nian, head-on interception and killing, it happened that Hao Tianying chased and killed, Wen Qishi's army was defeated, only led hundreds of horsemen to flee west along the north bank of Huangshui, Hao Tianying led his troops to chase back to the valley of the Kaluo River.

Xuan Chongwen was overjoyed, and the next day he ordered Zong Jingcheng to leave the five regiments of Yan Shenming and Liang Guiben to garrison Gaolan, and the headquarters came quickly, and continued to go south with his troops, and went to Jinchengguan in the evening of the same day to rest, waiting for Zong Jingcheng's department to come.

Three days later, on the 15th, there was good news that Hao Tianying and Shen Nianlike arrived under the city of Zhijin in Lanzhou Prefecture, and the head of the Daqian household under Nebusong did not dare to garrison for several days, and had led his troops to abandon the city and flee west that morning.

When Xuan Chongwen led his troops into the state to govern Jincheng, he caught some people who had not escaped and interrogated them, and learned that it turned out that the troops of Shi Chenghong and Zhang Quanyi of the Changyi Army had entered Didao, three hundred miles to the south, and seized the area of Wujie and Dalai Valley in the west of the city, cutting off the back road of Zhuo Luo Zunli. However, there are tens of thousands of people stationed in Didao County, and Shi Chenghong has not yet taken it.

Xuan Chongwen then went out to settle the people, and began to send troops to appease the small tribes of the Tibetan people who were unwilling to flee, and at the same time divided the troops to the Limenshui border in the west to set up defenses, and sent scouts to the south to contact Shi Chenghong's department, and also spy on the movements of the old nest of Caohanqiang in Hezhou, intending to wait for the logistics grain and grass to arrive, and then continue to fight south after appeasing the local Tibetans.
