Chapter 225: Heaven Falls Apart (29)

There are also four or five hundred cavalry in the Jinmen Guard Zhen Army, and He Tengxiao has seen these cavalry that Kong Xiangtao regarded as treasures.

After seeing these so-called cavalry, He Tengxiao only had one feeling, it turned out that Da Zhao's standard for cavalry had dropped to such a low level as Lao Tzu, to the point that if he had a horse, he could become a soldier.

The "war horses" of the cavalry of the Jinmen guards, the horses are not rubbish, and the heads of the horses are lowered as if they are dying, and such horses are estimated to be a problem when playing with the horses, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to expect them to go out of the city to meet the Liao army sentry horse.

This group of Liao army sentry horses is really too rampant, and they obviously saw a big city in front of them. Even the knights and Liao army sentry cavalry dared to continue to chase, not looking at the defenders in the city at all.

"It seems that these Liao army sentry horses have also been spoiled by the town troops along the way." Zhou Shi hated and said, the Liao army dared to be so rampant, it must be because there was no town army along the way that dared to go out of the city to intercept and kill them.

The Liao sentinel cavalry also saw the defenders of the Jinmen Guards as the cowardly town troops they encountered along the way, and decided that the defenders of the Jinmen Guards did not dare to fight.

He Tengxiao couldn't sit idly by and watch these Liao troops slaughter refugees and chase down their own sentinels, and the soldiers and civilians at the head of the city were watching. If these rampant slaughterers are allowed outside the city, this will be too great a blow to the morale of the soldiers and civilians of the Jinmen Acropolis.

The Acropolis of Jinmen is a temporary station that He Tengxiao fancies, and it is the habitat of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Tengbao Battalion. He Tengxiao must give confidence to the soldiers and civilians of the Jinmen guards, so that the soldiers and civilians of the Jinmen guards believe that he has the ability to defend the Jinmen Acropolis.

"Bring three hundred households to the battle! Lin Iron Hammer! It's up to you to command! He Tengxiao gave an order and prepared to meet the Liao army sentry, "Zhou Shi, bring your brothers and guard the flanks of the army formation to prevent the Liao army from outflanking the infantry phalanx!" ”

The establishment of the three hundred households team is the most basic phalanx unit for He Tengxiao to train the new soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion. The three hundred-household teams consist of a hundred-hundred-unit firecracker, a hundred-family pikeman, and a hundred-hundred-unit shieldman.

The specific tactic is to stand at the front with the shield in hand, providing cover for the musketeers and pikemen behind them. The Liao army raised its troops to charge forward into the phalanx, and after entering the firing range, the musketeers adopted the tactics of three shots to fire at the Liao army without stopping. After the Liao army approached, the pikemen behind the shield men were responsible for piercing the Liao army and resisting the impact of the Liao army's iron cavalry.

This kind of formation He Tengxiao is He Tengxiao's tactics for dealing with cavalry of his predecessors, combined with the equipment characteristics of the cavalry battalion, after some changes, he came up with a tactic.

The imaginary enemy of this tactic is the cavalry of the Liao army, which is specially used to deal with the cavalry of the Liao army. It's just that for a long time, the Xiao cavalry battalion has only practiced this set of tactics boringly, and has never used this set of tactics to conduct actual combat with the Liao army.

Today, there is finally a time to engage in actual combat with the Liao army and test whether this set of tactics is effective against the cavalry of the Liao army.

"Isn't it just the sixty sentry horses of the Liao army, Lao Tzu can solve it with a cup of tea by taking our brothers from hundreds of households out." Zhou Shi had a feeling of being neglected, and against the sixty Liao army sentry cavalry, he used the three hundred households of the Xiao cavalry battalion and his own hundred households cavalry to provide cover for the infantry phalanx, Zhou Shi felt that he looked down on these Liao troops too much, and he had a feeling of killing chickens with a knife.

"Nope." He Tengxiao immediately rejected Zhou Shi's proposal, "It's too big, the horses we brought this time can only be one person and one horse, and there are people on the other side who have two or even three horses, so it's too risky for you to go out rashly to meet the battle." ”

Soldiers regard obedience to orders as their duty, and Zhou Shi saw that He Tengxiao rejected his proposal, although he was a little unhappy in his heart. But He Tengxiao's order still has to be carried out. He also knew that He Tengxiao was also thinking about him, and the sentry cavalry of the Liao army were the elite of the elite, which was even more difficult than the guards under the Liao Emperor's account. Dealing with these Liao army sentry cavalry Zhou Shi is only sure, but not completely sure.

The suspension bridge of the Acropolis of Jinmen was lowered, and after the suspension bridge was lowered, the city gate was slowly opened, and the creaking and grinding sound made by the opening of the city gate was very harsh.

Kong Xiangtao has deliberately avoided He Tengxiao and Liu Shu since he had a bad relationship with He Tengxiao and Liu Shu to avoid unnecessary embarrassment. Hearing that He Tengxiao was going to release foot soldiers to meet the Liao army's sentry cavalry, Kong Xiangtao couldn't help but climb the city tower to watch.

Kong Xiangtao wanted to see with his own eyes how strong the combat effectiveness of He Tengxiao's black-clothed army was, and it was worth Liu Shu to blindly curry favor with He Tengxiao, and even did not hesitate to hand over the dominance of the Jinmen Guard Treasury Mansion to He Tengxiao, who was a guest army.

After the drawbridge was stabilized, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion, who had already lined up in the urn city, walked out of the acropolis of Jinmen according to the procession and walked towards their enemy: the Liao army.

The new soldiers of the Xiaocai battalion were recruited from among the refugees of Liaodong, and every Han of Liaodong had a common enmity with the Manshu Liao army.

Although for many of the soldiers this was the first time in their lives that they had participated in actual combat, they were not very nervous. Many of the new Liao soldiers even reported a longing attitude towards this battle, which may have been the effect of hatred, which sometimes makes people anesthetized and forget fear.

Liu Shu's face was solemn, he had great expectations for He Tengxiao's Qinwang army, and pinned all the safety of the entire Jinmen Acropolis on He Tengxiao's Qinwang army, this time He Tengxiao's Qinwang army went out of the city to meet the Liao army's sentry cavalry, Liu Shu was even more nervous than He Tengxiao.

He Tengxiao also intended to test the results of Xiao riding the campgunner, according to He Tengxiao's habit, he would add a team of crossbowmen to assist the firecracker in shooting, but this time He Tengxiao did not. He Tengxiao saw with his own eyes whether the pure fire soldiers he had trained had the strength to fight the Liao army.

The defenders of the Acropolis of Jinmen opened the gate and released foot soldiers to meet the battle, which surprised the Liao sentinels who were chasing the refugees.

The Liao army almost couldn't believe its eyes, and there was actually the Zhao army that had the courage to open the city gate to meet the sentinels of the Great Liao army!

With new prey, the Liao Sentinels quickly abandoned the pursuing refugees. A leader-looking Liao army blew a sharp whistle, and the Liao army's sentry cavalry quickly gathered together, and after a short formation adjustment, they charged at the Zhao army's infantry phalanx.

The Liao Sentinel changed its target, and the refugees who were being pursued by the Liao Army were finally able to breathe. After several cities, there was no defender of a city willing to open the city gate to rescue, and here finally met the army that dared to go out of the city to meet the Liao army.

The refugees who had escaped from the pursuit of the Liao sentry cavalry cast a grateful look at the Zhao army as they left the city.

The sentinels of the Xiao cavalry battalion had already sent people out to meet the Liao army, so they returned to the city and reported to He Tengxiao the information they had gathered.

The Liao sentry cavalry ran wildly and shouted, rushing towards the infantry phalanx of the Xiao cavalry battalion. More than 60 people and more than 150 war horses shouted out the momentum that only came forward. (To be continued.) )
