Chapter 157: The Turmoil of the He Clan (39)
Chapter 157: The Turmoil of the He Clan (39)
The remnants of the lax Liao army would never have expected that on the border of Haizhou in their Liao country, there would be a long-dormant ambush waiting for them.
More than 2,000 soldiers of the cavalry battalion rushed towards the Liao army, like a tidal wave, as if it was about to drown the remnants of the depressed Liao army.
More than 4,000 Liao troops fled back to Haizhou in fear along the way. It was not long before he stayed in Kankan and entered the border of the Liao Empire, and was able to relax for a long time.
The relaxation didn't last long. The remnants of the Liao army were awakened by the shouts of the Xiaocai battalion. The nerves of the Liao army were tense again.
The 2,000 soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion were waiting for work and recuperating their energy, and at this time, both spirit and morale were in a full state. It is not the same as the exhausted remnants of the Liao army.
In addition, the equipment of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion after the refitting is all sophisticated equipment produced by the Yunguam Ordnance Bureau. Compared with the Liao army, which is known for its excellent equipment, it is slightly superior.
Under the command of the grassroots officers of Qianhu, Baihu, Zongqi, Xiaoqi, etc., the soldiers of the Xiaocai Battalion quickly lined up the phalanx and pounced on the Liao army.
Actual combat is the best test of training in peacetime, and after He Tengxiao expanded the Xiao cavalry battalion, he felt that the town army of the Great Zhao Empire was overly swollen and bloated, resulting in millions of imperial troops on paper. But in the face of the two or three hundred thousand troops of the rising alien race, it seemed vulnerable and low in combat effectiveness.
Redundant troops can easily cause a sharp decline in the combat effectiveness of the army, and in view of this, He Tengxiao is extremely strict about the training of the expanded Xiao cavalry battalion. In the final analysis, He Tengxiao was still worried that the speed of army expansion would be too fast, causing his combat effectiveness to drop to the level of ordinary town army.
If you want to protect yourself in the autumn of chaos, strong military strength is an indispensable guarantee for self-protection. He Tengxiao knows this very well, every time there are more warlords in troubled times, why?! Because in troubled times, everyone relies on their fists to speak, and whoever has a harder fist will say more reason.
Therefore, He Tengxiao has always taken his army as the top priority. Most of the income money was invested in the barracks, and he was not stingy with the soldiers.
The strict army formation composed of the soldiers of the cavalry battalion outflanked the remnants of the Liao army. Dressed in black military uniforms, the cavalry battalion soldiers formed a thick, Hessensen black barrier, slowly compressing the activity space of the Liao army.
"Black uniform...... He Tengxiao's riding camp. Yu Yansong vaguely remembered what Wan Yan Fushen had said to him when he was sober, which was after the powder magazine of the Yu family's private soldiers was burned down by He Tengxiao's cavalry battalion. The Zhao army that burned down the powder magazine of the Yu family's private soldiers was the cavalry battalion wearing black uniforms!
Rao is now Yu Yansong's teeth itching for He Tengxiao's hatred, and he can't wait to break He Tengxiao and his Xiao cavalry camp into thousands of pieces and swallow them alive to relieve his hatred. Dao Yu Yansong is now helpless against the Xiao Cavalry Battalion. The opponent's army is tightly arrayed, and at a glance, you can tell that it is an elite soldier who is often trained. The fly in the ointment is the lack of murderous spirit in the eyes of these soldiers, and Yu Yansong judged that these soldiers of the cavalry battalion wearing black military uniforms should be recruits who have never seen blood.
The Xiao Cavalry Battalion has just been expanded and rebuilt, and He Tengxiao's original men and horses can't even make a team of 1,000 households full staff. Suddenly expanding the army to an entire battalion, the new soldiers naturally accounted for the majority. Yu Yansong's judgment is indeed in line with reality.
Yu Yansong knew very well that although the other party was a new soldier, he may lack combat experience, and the number of people was not as large as his own. Until the opponent's morale is full, the training is strict, and the opponent's equipment is many times stronger than the previously encountered called Flower Army. Encountering such an enemy, Yu Yansong was empty-hearted, and no matter how many thousand remnants were counted, they were not the opponent of the other party's two thousand soldiers.
After the Liao army entered the range of the firebolt, He Tengxiao gave the order to open fire. The Liao soldiers standing in front of them can be regarded as having fallen for eight lifetimes, and the ringing people are down, and there is a large piece of it.
The Liao army collapsed at the first touch, and it was originally a deserter who retired from the army, and everyone was trying to save their lives.
This burst of fire was the last straw that crushed the remnants of the Liao army. crushed the Liao army, whose morale was on the verge of collapse, in one fell swoop.
The Liao army ran away with its head in its hands, and the Liao army's appearance of fleeing for life was not much better than that of Zhao Jun's escape. But it was the first time that many Zhao soldiers, including the old soldiers, saw the Liao army fleeing for their lives at their guns. Full of sense of achievement: Zhao Jun forced the Liao army to run away, and this is the first time that a big girl has been on a sedan chair.
The Liao army is fleeing for their lives, and the Zhao army is pursuing. A peculiar scene was formed in Haizhou, Liao. After the war, Emperor Wanyan Shengcong of Liao was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he learned that Zhao Jun dared to chase and kill the Liao army in the territory of the Liao army. I didn't have the air to carry it.
Yu Yansong was afraid that he would be recognized by the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, after all, the scale armor he was wearing was too ostentatious. In this era, scale armor was an out-and-out luxury, expensive to build, and non-high-ranking officers could not afford to wear it. Fleeing for his life in scale armor, it is clear that he is telling the other party that he is a high-ranking officer.
Yu Yansong decisively took off the scale armor and discarded it on the ground, not to mention that the scale armor is expensive, and this scale armor is not an ordinary scale armor, it is the scale armor handed down by Yu Yansong's ancestors. It has some special meaning for Yu Yansong, but in order to save his life, life is the most important, and the rest are things outside his body, Yu Yansong still looked back at the scale armor a few times in distress. Ruthless gone.
Wanyan Fushen was still unconscious, carrying on a war horse. Wanyan Fushen is tall and strong, which is usually a big piece that can be beaten, which is an advantage. But when it comes to escaping, especially if you are injured and incapacitated, this piece of bulk is an out-and-out burden.
Yu Yansong could only escape with this burden, there was no way, this burden was too important, Yu Yansong did not dare to leave it.
Yu Yansong caught a glimpse of Wan Yan Fushen's body wearing more delicate and expensive scale armor than him, and did not hesitate to peel off Wan Yan Fushen's scale armor. Discard on the ground. After doing this, Yu Yansong confirmed that he and Wanyan Fushen were no different from ordinary Liao soldiers in terms of appearance and clothing, and then ran away with confidence.
After the Liao army's soldiers and the Yu family's soldiers gave Yu Yansong and Wan Yanfu a cautious decision, Yu Yansong's escape went smoothly. Zhao Jun also didn't notice that he and Wan Yan Fushen had been a big fish in the past two days.
This massacre of disparity in strength soon ended, and more than 4,000 troops of the Great Liao State who had fled back to the territory of the Liao State were ambushed on the border of Haizhou. Most of the remnants were killed, and in the end, only more than 100 remnants of the Liao army managed to save their lives under the response of the Haizhou garrison.
The only consolation of the Liao army is that the commander and deputy commander did not fall into the hands of the Zhao army. Otherwise, this battle will also set a new record for the highest-ranking general killed in the Liao army.
The garrison of Haizhou City of the Liao Army went out of the city to meet the Liao army, and He Tengxiao could no longer be greedy for merit and rashly pursue in depth. It was a risky move to go deep alone, and He Tengxiao could not push the Xiao Cavalry Battalion into a more dangerous situation.
He Tengxiao accepted it when he saw it, ordered the withdrawal of the army, harvested the heads of the Liao army along the way, and stripped off the armor of the Liao army as a trophy to return south in triumph......
