Hao Tianying came over on a horse and asked for an order to rescue Shi Yanchao, but Zhang Yue did not agree, and led his cavalry over the mountains, went down the valley to the right side of Xiang Xun to line up, and watched the battlefield movements two or three miles to the north.

There are only more than ten horsemen left around Shi Yanchao, but he is still very brave and fierce, and he is high-spirited, holding a big iron gun to charge back and forth in the enemy formation.
"To the general! Are you and I moving forward? Good pressure on the Liao army! Zhang Yue hit the horse and asked Xiang Xundao.
"No! Our infantry army is the majority, and we can ensure that we are undefeated by lining up against the slope, and the Liao army is defeated first, and we do not dare to move lightly, if we advance, we will definitely besiege our army, and then it will be extremely unfavorable. "Xiang Xun analyzed the situation of the enemy and the enemy, and did not approve of it.
"How long has Shi Yanchao been chasing and ambushing?" Zhang Yue looked at the battlefield from afar and asked anxiously.
"Half an hour ago, I planned to accept it as soon as I saw it, and ordered the retreat troops to garrison Gaochengling, Shi Yanchao was quite dissatisfied, so he led his cavalry to attack. At first, the Liao army was also defenseless, Shi Yanchao broke through the two broken horse teams of the Liao army, and the light cavalry broke through the Chinese army, and immediately fell into encirclement. He is surrounded by Liao horses, and it is easy to come back when he goes! Xiang Xun said helplessly.
"The horsepower is not exhausted, Shi Yanchao still has spare strength, and I will see later. It's really not good, I led the horse army of my headquarters to fight. Zhang Yue said, the infantry army can only be a sweeping formation, unless the Liao army takes the initiative to collide, otherwise it is very powerless in the face of seven or eight thousand Liao cavalry.
"It's good! This Liao army is very strong, and General Zhang will have to be careful if he fights. Xiang Xun instructed.
Zhang Yue arched his hand, beat his horse and returned to his own formation, and found Li Chuyun, Xue Wenqian, Hao Tianying and other major officers to give orders, and let Li Chuyun and Xue Wenqian lead the infantry army to line up in place and follow the training department. The 3rd, 6th, and 8th battalions of the Ma Army were transferred to one side and formed a whole team, and they were on standby in the front line of the horses.
At this time, Fu Yanqing sent someone to report: Zhang Yongde and Li Yun led 3,000 troops from Jinyang to the north, passed through the city of Xinzhou without stopping, and were rushing to the battlefield.
Zhang Yue was not in a hurry to report it, and sent his own soldiers to inform Xiang Xun, and waited for Zhang Yongde and Li Yun to arrive at the battlefield and then attack together, so that Shi Yanchao would not be able to fight again, and rescue him by the way.
Two moments later, Zhang Yongde and Li Yun appeared at the mouth of Gaocheng Valley with three thousand horse steps, and on the battlefield in the distance, there were only two or three guards left around Shi Yanchao, and it was already the end of the crossbow. Zhang Yue didn't wait, and ordered Li Chuyun to lead the infantry to sweep the formation, and beat drums and cheers, and Hao Tianying left and right, and took the lead in rushing to the battlefield two or three miles to the north.
Zhang Yue, the only horse team, was very conspicuous in the infantry of the Zhou army, and as soon as he arrived at the battlefield, Yang Gon and Yelu Tart Lie noticed it, and as soon as he set out, Yang Gon immediately dispatched a thousand elite horsemen to meet him.
The war horse gradually accelerated, the hooves roared like thunder, galloping out of two miles, about a thousand cavalry Liao troops bypassed the battlefield, galloped over from the west to intercept, trying to cut off the headquarters from the side Ji assault. The speed of Zhang Yue's horse has been raised to the extreme, and the sharp turn is very dangerous, and the timing and angle of Liaoqi's attack are quite accurate, and the horse speed is also extremely fast.
"Turn left!" Zhang Yue shouted, made a decision immediately, and chose to transfer without hesitation. His front team succeeded in deflecting the direction, but in the middle of the queue behind, the dozens of horses galloping on the side turned too sharply and overturned into a rolling hoist.
The soldier fell to the ground, and before he had time to stand up, the Qianlai Liao cavalry surged like a whirlwind, and trampled the fallen soldiers and war horses into flesh and mud at once, so that the horses' hooves stepped on the obstacles, and they also overturned more than ten horses, and then broke through from the middle of their own horse team.
Zhang Yue and Hao Tianying couldn't care about these things in the front team, and at the same time as the Liao army horse team broke through the main formation, they also took the front team of six or seven hundred horsemen around in a half circle, and went straight to the middle of the Liao army horse team. The two broke the formation with two guns, and the Liao army had almost no enemy, and like a sharp sword, they also intercepted the Liao army cavalry into two sections.
The Liao army didn't expect the cavalry of the Zhou army to be so brave, so they didn't dare to be careless, and quickly turned around after breaking the Zhang Yue cavalry, and recruited the truncated rear team to follow. However, Zhang Yue did not follow the normal horse fighting method, and the truncated rear team was led by Quan Daojin and Ming Jinpeng, and he was not worried at all. While breaking through the Liao cavalry, he threw off the rear team and continued to fight towards the front of the Liao army that surrounded Shi Yanchao.
The Liao army saw that the situation was not right, and was about to turn around and pursue, at this time Quan Daojin and Ming Jinpeng had completed the whole team, and immediately led the rear team to kill non-stop, forcing the intercepted Liao army to have to fight, and the two sides began a new round of charging and fighting. However, at this time, the distance was too close, and he couldn't play any tricks, so he could only hedge and fight hard to fight for the equipment and tactical literacy of his respective cavalry.
Zhang Yue's front team took the opportunity to maintain a high speed and ran wildly, and successfully broke into the front of the Liao army in one fell swoop with the momentum of thunder, like a torrent of courage and bravely marched forward, killing Shi Yanchao in the formation. The cavalry of the Liao army are all iron-clad and black-robed, but the Zhou army is a fiery red uniform, with iron-blue fine scale armor and copper-inlaid beast heads, which are distinctly colored and very recognizable.
Zhang Yue's hundreds of horsemen broke through the formation, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the Liao army, and at the same time, Shi Yanchao, who rushed left and right in the formation, also quickly discovered the friendly soldiers and horses, and led the only remaining horse guards around him to approach this side, and the combined forces of the two parties soon converged.
Zhang Yue rescued Shi Yanchao, and did not want to fight, so he immediately led the horse team to break through from the weak point of the Liao army's front, but when he was about to get rid of the Liao army, Zhang Yongde and Li Yun, who led the troops to help, led thousands of horsemen to kill the Liao army's front from the east.
This timing was completely inaccurate, and the direction was also wrong, but it was too late, Zhang Yue was greatly depressed, and continued to fight horses to leave the battlefield, and halfway just met the rear team of Quan Daojin and Ming Jinpeng.
Zhang Yue led the troops back to the team, turned his head and swept roughly, at this moment of fighting, the three battalions of the Ma Army were missing two or three hundred horsemen. At this time, the soldiers behind exclaimed, only to see a man fall off his horse and fall to the ground with a bang.
Zhang Yue stepped forward to see that it was Shi Yanchao, this thing was covered with dark red bloodstains, and there were some finely minced meat sticking to his face and nail leaves, looking very disgusting. He collapsed and fell into a coma.
This kind of lack of eyes, no eyes, and unlaw-abiding thorns is as difficult to control as a wild horse. Zhang Yue didn't have a good feeling, but he didn't hate it, so he asked the soldiers to take him down to treat his injuries, and instead ordered Hao Tianying to supervise the whole team and pay attention to the battlefield again.
At this moment, Zhang Yongde and Li Yun led a thousand horses to collide with the Liao army, and the two sides hedged past. The Liao army's horse team turned around, and when Zhang Yongde's department staggered, the horse's speed slowed down, but it happened to meet the horse team that had intercepted Zhang Yue before, and he was suddenly trapped. And a team behind followed the rush, Zhang Yongde and Li Yun rode a thousand horses, and they were cut into three sections.
10,000 animals rushed through in his heart, this battle was too bad, Zhang Yue had to act as a firefighting team again, and Hao Tianying led his troops to the battlefield again. (To be continued.) )
