The number of Khitan horse troops was more than six times that of the Tang people, and this area was much wider than that of the Tang people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info This is normal. However, this is also related to the fact that the Tang Army's horse army array is too dense.

After getting closer, Yelan Khan found that the number of Tang troops was very small, but it was much larger than when he had just visually estimated. Because, they are too dense, people next to people, horses next to horses, between the two knights, the gap is very small, and if the movement is a little bigger, it will hit the people next to them.

How to fight like this, Yelan said he didn't understand. The Khitan charging array was also very dense, but compared to the Tang army, it was too wide, and it was simply a contrast between a fishing net and a piece of cloth.

In addition to the dense formation, the Tang military armor rode with momentum, which also made people feel cold, who is the weaker in the end? How come these thousands of people charged with momentum, and even did not lose to tens of thousands of Khitans? How is this possible. Even if their equipment is very scary, from a distance, it is just a shining piece of iron, but when you look closely, you realize that those are not iron armor, but steel armor in one water, and the Tang army is too rich.

Ye Lan was very strange, how could he think so much, he didn't know, he was already a little at a loss. The two sides approached and collided.

A group of people flew up, Ye Lan's eyes froze, and a large piece of the Khitan array was lost in an instant, those were his Khitan elites, he had to be pro-army, and there were Khitan warriors wearing heavy armor, but they were almost powerless to fight back, what was going on.

'Khan, danger. He didn't have time to see what was going on, he had guards around him, and hurriedly pulled him back, Ye Lan rushed too far ahead, originally thinking that it would be one-sided, and the massacre was in full swing, so he rushed to the front.

Now it is also one-sided, the massacre is the battle situation, but the situation is completely reversed, the Khitan army can not withstand the impact of the Tang army at all, and the Tang army and horse army array are tightly organized, as if a wall is advancing, and all the obstacles in front are impacted by him.

Ye Lan had to be guarded, and pulled Ye Lan to the side, finally letting him see clearly why the Khitans were not the opponents of the Tang Army and the Ma Army. The first is the length of the cavalry gun.

Although there is no difference in the length of the Tang Army's cavalry gun and the previous horse lance, the difference in actual use is great. The Tang army rode a spear, and in actual use it was even longer than a horse lance.

The traditional Tang Army horse army, the use of the horse lance, is to hold the middle section, because it should be used flexibly, the grip is too back, it is not easy to control, so although it is Zhangba, but in fact it is not so long when it is used. In addition, it is used in an oblique way.

A horse lance has a spear head, which is very troublesome to make, forged and polished, so it is very strong and durable, and from the appearance, it is easy to mistake it for a sword.

In this way, once the enemy is hit, with the speed of the horse's impact, there is no need to stab hard, only need to be drawn diagonally, and after the armor is broken, it can cause a lot of trauma, and bring out a big wound at once, and by the way, the internal organs will be stirred.

Moreover, there is no need to draw a gun in this way, because it is an oblique stab, and it is slashed, bringing out a bloody streak, and the corpse of the enemy is also thrown away. If you hit the enemy's neck, your head will be separated from your body. Then you can pick the next opponent.

This kind of kung fu has a name, the south is called picking guns, and the north is called shaking guns. This move can be used not only against cavalry, but also against infantry spears, which can be separated from the guns. You can imagine how difficult and troublesome this has to be.

Why do they Khitans use heavy weapons, because heavy weapons are simpler to use than horse lances, and they are even simpler to manufacture.

But the Tang army in front of him is not like this at all. Their riding spears are held slightly at the back end, clamped under the armpits, and the way they are used is to stab them out indomitably, first of all, they take advantage of the length, not to mention the heavy weapons of the Khitans, before they get close at all, they are pierced with a bloody hole in the neck.

Ye Lan knew that even if it was a traditional Tang Army horse lance, it would not be able to take advantage of it, and it would be the same length, but because of the different places where it was held and the way it was used, the effect was different, and the riding spear could definitely take the first step to stab the body of the person who used the horse lance.

It's not that the traditional horse lance can't be pierced like this, but what should I do if I get stabbed? If you don't get rid of the enemy's corpse, it will be hung on the barrel of the gun, do you want to use this gun? Do you stab a gun, and change it to a horse lance? Even before you have time to abandon your horse, because of the weight of the enemy's corpse, you will immediately lose your balance and fall off your horse.

But this group of Tang troops did not face such a problem, they were too cunning, and the cavalry spear broke with a single stab, which not only avoided the problem of the enemy's corpse hanging on the barrel of the gun, but also did not have to worry about hurting the hand. But in this way, a gun will be abolished with one stab, and the Tang army will simply use money to smash the Khitans to death.

Yelan didn't know. This gun has to be made very cheaply. First of all, the source of the material of the gun barrel is relatively easy, and it is also convenient to manufacture, there is a special machine for cutting the log rod, which is fast and good, which makes this kind of riding gun manufacturing and cost, less than the traditional horse lance. It's not at all what Yelan thinks, smashing people to death with money.

The riding gun is not tight, the most terrifying thing is that the dense and wall-like array of the Tang army, the Khitan people are not like they hit a wall, they just hit a wall.

Ye Lan directly called the charge he saw the Tang Army's horse army as a wall charge. He didn't know, and he was right. He got him without a teacher, and directly pointed out the tactics of the Tang Army's horse army, which was the European wall charge.

This kind of cavalry tactics that appeared in the 18th century and was realized by Li Chen in the Tang Dynasty after the great revival of muskets. Neat and dense, emphasizing discipline and rigor in the wall charge, these are not at all still in, and the backward tribal alliance method can be fought against by the Khitans. This is how Li Chen thought of quickly training the Tang Ma Army.

The Khitan army was slaughtered, not that they were not heroic, in fact, in terms of equestrianism, martial arts, and bravery, they were all above the Tang army. Especially the first batch that the Tang army faced, they were all the khan's pro-army, as well as the warriors of various tribes, and there was no comparison with these batch training of the Tang army and horse army.

They are skilled in martial arts, have great strength, and are even more skilled in equestrian skills, otherwise how could they be the khan's guards and warriors of various tribes. They can be on horseback, skilled in the use of several weapons, and in human combat. Spears, maces, knives, swords, none of them are a problem.

Not to mention them, even those more ordinary Khitan warriors, each of them is a good hand on horseback, one-on-one, ten against ten, don't want those warriors, they can easily beat the Tang army when they come out. However, now they are the ones who are being hanged.

The Tang army is too dense, and a Khitan warrior, as soon as he engages, will have to face more than three Tang troops. The Tang army concentrated on the charge, and a Khitan warrior did not say whether he could hit the Tang army without saying whether he could hit the Tang army without losing the length. Even if the Tang army broke the gun and used the saber, the Khitan warriors would have to face several sabers at the same time.

Moreover, in the face of such hedging, the Khitans are very unaccustomed, they are more accustomed to the two sides hedging, staying and fighting each other, instead of this, the Tang army and the horse army do not stop at all, constantly moving forward, forward, and the autumn wind sweeps the leaves and generally sweeps the Khitans.

They are full of martial arts, and they can't show it at all. No matter how great the strength is, it is in vain to fail to hit the enemy, and the superb equestrian skills have not allowed them to win a fair decisive battle, Ye Lan is so angry that he spurts blood, on the one hand, he is worried about the unfavorable situation of the battle, and on the other hand, the morale of the Tang people is too cunning, how can he use the infantry army in a dense array and use it on the horse army.

Your infantry is lined up in such a sparse array, but the horse army is so tightly organized, Yelan wants to shout, the cavalry fights, not like this. However, it is a pity that in this world, only the winner has the right to speak.

Soon, the Khitan formation collapsed. The first was to rush to the front to get the Khitan King Banner, and after the front warriors were defeated, the Khitan King Flag was submerged. Although the Khitan Yelan Khan was not under the banner at all, however, the flag died, and the flag was lost, and Yelan did not die, and in the hearts of his Khitan soldiers, it was equivalent to death.

As soon as Wang Qi was lost, the Khitans won the army and immediately collapsed, and Yelan couldn't stop it at all. The defeat was like a mountain, although he had the heart to go elsewhere and re-erect the king's banner, but the defeated army did not give him a chance at all, he had to follow the defeated army, retreated to the camp, and defended himself with the battalion.

This is the Khitan right side, and the left side is about the same. The leader of the left Luth was Jeruza's thorn. He is the leader of another Khitan tribe, and he is considered the strongest tribe below the Khitan king's tent. It was from his tribe that he learned techniques such as animal husbandry and farming from the Tang people, so that the strength of the Khitan tribe gradually increased. In addition, he also has an identity, which is the great-grandfather of Yelu Abaojid.

This way the Khitan people are smarter, or the Sa Thorn is more powerful, he is not like Ye Lan who took the lead, although he escaped death in the end, but the charge was too forward, resulting in the loss of his royal flag, and the Khitan right side collapsed. Sharsted put on the same formation as Yelan, placing the tribe's strongest warriors in front of him, in an attempt to break away from the Tang army's formation in one fell swoop. But he himself did not charge at the forefront.

This move, slightly, little by little, delayed the defeat of the Khitan, and finally collapsed. As in the case of Ye Lan, the Khitan forwards could not resist the Tang Army at all. After the collapse of the front road, the Khitans in the middle and back roads were confused.

Some of them have bad brains, they are stupid enough to crash into the Tang Army's wall-style charge, and if they have a chance to run back, they have to run back. But no matter what choice you make, it's all for free. rushed up, was ended in an instant, and wanted to escape, but was caught up by the Tang army from the rear and crushed over.

The forwards are so dense that the warriors can't stop them, these disciplines and weapons are not as good as the ordinary Khitans in front, how can they resist? Even if their formation was not chaotic, it was meaningless, and the Khitan, who were bombarded by the artillery bombardment of the Tang army, instinctively dispersed, and could not organize at all in a hurry to effectively resist the Tang army's charge.

At the moment, the Khitan army on both wings, just as J and the Bohai State army on the front, were defeated like a mountain. There was such a spectacle on the battlefield, a large number of Bohai and Khitan coalition troops, but they were chased and killed by the Tang army, which was far inferior to them.

Honestly, this change is too fast. Quickly let Zhou Pan at the head of the city, and follow behind, preparing to take on the Tang army of Zhuzhen, and look dumbfounded, what kind of trouble is this, you are too useless. However, if you think about it, it's normal. The kind of big barrel that can fire inexplicable weapons is terrifying.

No one can be bombarded like this, let alone the Khitan and Bohai, they can't do it, they can't fight back, they can only be beaten. Some officers silently estimated that at such a distance, even if they used a ballista to shoot from the city wall, they would not be able to shoot.

In other words, this terrible weapon, you can only fight at close range. But close to the fight? How close? Theoretically, the Tang crossbow could shoot two or three hundred paces away. However, it is actually a hundred and fifty paces away, so that you can only get an accurate head.

Okay, one hundred and fifty steps, I'm approaching one hundred and fifty steps, but before that, the small barrel in the hands of the Shence army is booming. As soon as the white smoke came out, I saw a patch in front of me. Even if it was close to one hundred and fifty paces, the Shence Army surpassed the crossbow arrows in terms of number and rate of fire. After shooting at a distance of 150 paces, and being attacked by a large barrel, this is simply incomprehensible.

Perhaps, a large number of horses is the way to do it, but... The Shence Army also has horses, and there are also horse troops, do you use horse troops? Didn't you see that the Khitans had just used more than five or six times the number to hedge against the Shence army, and the result was a complete defeat?

There's no point in thinking about that now. The morale of the Tang army was great, and the whole army, under the command of Shi Xiong, began to chase the defeated army. The Khitans can't dare, everyone has horses, and they can only pursue the Bohai State without a code. Well... It's weird.

A large number of soldiers of the Bohai Kingdom surrendered, and they could still move to watch him temporarily, and they were so seriously injured that they gave him a good time, and occasionally picked up some Khitans who did not open their eyes and fled in the wrong direction, which was considered an addition.

However, they were not the fastest, and now they are chasing the tightest, probably the Tang artillery, which spontaneously extended backwards and sounded with rumbling cannons, like a farewell or a rush. Then in this thunderous situation, the Khitans fled back to their camp, and the Bohai people fled back to Youzhou City.

However, less than half of them actually escaped back. Most of the Khitan army, relying on horses, ran away, but many people bypassed the camp and continued to flee to the north, apparently planning to flee all the way back to the Khitan.

And the Bohai Navy, not to mention the number of descendants, fled back to Youzhou City, but there were corpses everywhere. Because, Zhou Panxia is broken. Seeing the rumbling cannons following behind the Bohai people, forcing all the way, he was so frightened that he ordered the city gate to be closed, on the one hand, to prevent the Tang army from taking the opportunity to attack the city.

For this reason, he and Da Mingjun broke out into conflict, and he still has a sense of responsibility, the way cannot polish the army like this, otherwise he will become alone. Now he has to stand up, no one can help him, the veteran who led the army died in battle, although he thinks that his lord has made a big mistake, and he should not go to war with the Tang army at all, he understands very well, what kind of assassin, what is the point of the Tang Emperor sending someone to assassinate the previous lord of the country?

However, he couldn't say all this, so he could only silently use his life, heroic but meaningless death, and was shot to death by a round of muskets to be loyal to the country. If he dies, Da Mingjun will be blind, even if this is the territory of Youzhou people, he must fight for it. As a result, the Youzhou and Bohai people broke out in a skirmish at the city gate.
