Chapter 226: Heaven Collapses (30)

The infantry phalanx of the Zhao army had no deterrent effect on the Liao army's sentry cavalry, and the Liao army had few opponents in the field, and for the Liao army's sentry cavalry, the field battle was no opponent at all. The Liao army rarely suffered losses in field battles.

Of course, the southern expedition to the three southeastern states of Liaodong a few months ago was purely accidental, and it was a fiasco caused by the treacherous tricks of the cunning Southern Zhao people.

Thinking of the 30,000 Manshu warriors who died in the defeat, the Liao army sentry cavalry rose with a raging flame of revenge in their hearts and pounced on the Zhao army's military array.

The soldiers of the cavalry battalion stood in formation to meet the roaring Liao army.

The city wall was crowded with onlookers and civilians, and since the capture of the Manshu people in eastern Liaodong, the soldiers and civilians of Zhufu County in Beizhili have grown calluses in their ears when they listen to the rumors of the Liao army.

They only knew that the Liao army was fighting bravely and fiercely, and the Liaodong Zhen army that fought couldn't breathe. And this is the first time they have really seen the true face of the Liao army.

The Liao army straddled the horse, carried the bow on his back, and held the waist knife in his hand, rampaging across the field, and the ruthlessness on his face was the kind of ruthlessness revealed from his bones.

The Liao army slowly approached the phalanx of the Xiao cavalry battalion, and the phalanx of the Xiao cavalry camp entered the range of the Liao army's bows and arrows.

Seeing that the Zhao army was already within range of their archers, the Liao army skillfully removed the bow from his back, mounted the arrows, and shot towards the Zhao army's array.

The soldiers of the cavalry battalion in the phalanx had long been prepared for the Liao army's bow and arrow shooting, and the shield man raised the big shield in his hand to resist the Liao army's bow and arrow.

The big shield is deep, and the accuracy of the bow and arrow shot by the knights of the Liao army has decreased a lot, but the salvo level of the Liao army is worthy of the title of the first in the world. The accuracy of these Liao sentinels in shooting arrows while marching on horses was a few points higher than that of the Zhao army's archery in situ.

Liu Shu is a literati and knows nothing about military affairs, and among all the skills that Liu Shu knows, the only one that can be related to military affairs is horseback riding.

Liu Shu also knows a little about equestrianism, Liu Shu only knows that this group of Liao army sentinels has superb equestrian skills, which is the only one he has seen in his life. But for archery, Liu Shu has no accurate concept and is a layman.

Kong Xiangtao is a person in the industry, and he knows very well what the level of cavalry and archery skills of the Liao army's sentry cavalry is, and such a level of cavalry and archery, I am afraid that no cavalry in the current Dazhao can match it.

Due to the full preparation of the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the Liao army's arrow shooting had long been expected, and the Liao army's bow and arrow shooting this time did not cause many casualties to the phalanx of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion.

Only a dozen soldiers were wounded by the arrows fired by the Liao army, most of them were slightly wounded, no soldiers were killed, and none of the wounded soldiers were wounded to be life-threatening.

The Liao army sentry rode downwind, and the range of bows and arrows was a little longer than under normal circumstances. And Zhao Jun is against the wind, although the impact of the wind direction on the fire gun is not as great as the impact on the bow and arrow, but it still has some impact. Moreover, the shooting accuracy of the firearm is not high, and the closer the target is, the greater the chance of hitting.

The Zhao army array planned to put the Liao army into effective range before opening fire and shooting at the Liao army, in order to maximize the damage to the Liao army.

Lin Junchen stared at the Liao army that pounced on them like hungry wolves, calculating the distance between the Liao army and their phalanx.

Lin Junchen is also the first batch of students of the Pingshan Fort Martial Arts Hall Officers' Crash Course, because of Lin Junchen's excellent grades, he stood out from a group of grassroots military attachés, He Tengxiao promoted Lin Junchen to be awarded to a thousand households. Lin Junchen was the one who was awarded the highest martial arts rank in the first crash course of the martial arts hall except for Ling Feng.

This was Lin Junchen's first time commanding a battle as an officer, and Lin Junchen felt pressured.

In front is the tiger and wolf division of the Liao army, and behind him is the Acropolis of Jinmen, He Tengxiao is watching from the Acropolis of Jinmen, and the officials and soldiers and civilians of the Acropolis of Jinmen are also watching from the city wall.

This battle must not be lost, if this battle is lost, it will deal a great blow to the morale of the army and people of the Acropolis of Jinmen, and lose confidence in the Xiaocai battalion and the Tengbao battalion.

Out of nervousness, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Ling Feng's forehead, and the hand holding the waist knife trembled involuntarily.

Just when Lin Junchen was nervous, the second wave of arrows of the Liao army came rushing in, and the second wave of arrows of the Liao army was closer and more powerful than before, and the arrows made a sharp whistle and roared through the air.

This time, the phalanx of the cavalry battalion soldiers was killed. and saw his comrades die in his eyes. These new soldiers who participated in the actual battle for the first time couldn't help but be a little nervous, constantly hinting that they couldn't panic, steady, and stay calm.

He Tengxiao on the Jinmen Acropolis looked at every move under the city, and saw that there was chaos in the phalanx, and couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for his soldiers. Can these new soldiers who have just entered the battlefield withstand the tempering of war? Can you defeat the tiger and wolf Liao army?

After the second wave of arrows from the Liao Sentinel, the Liao Sentinel came within the effective range of the Cavalry Battalion Gunner.

Seeing that the Liao army's sentry cavalry had entered the effective firing range, the waist knife in Lin Junchen's hand slashed downward, and shouted hissed: "Release!" ”

The shield bearers crossed the shield sideways to make room for the musketeers behind them to shoot, and the first row of musketeers stretched out their muskets, which had already been loaded with ammunition, and lit fire to shoot at the Liao army.

The swarthy fire bolt spewed out angry deadly flames at the Liao army, and the Liao army that rushed to the front was shot and fell, and the leader of the Liao army was beaten into a sieve by the lead bullets fired by the fire gun.

The Zhao army's firecrackers actually had such great power, and the Liao army's sentry cavalry was secretly surprised, but the Liao army did not give up its plan to attack the Zhao army's array, and still galloped forward frantically.

In this era when firearm technology is not yet mature, the lethality of firearms may not be comparable to that of bows and arrows, but the deterrent effect of gunpowder and explosions produced by the firing of firearms to the enemy is incomparable to that of bows and arrows in any case.

After the first wave of firebolts were fired, the firebolts regained their confidence among the soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion. No matter how poor and vicious the Liao army is, it is still human, and people are flesh and not iron. Buckshot hit the body and still made a hole.

After the first row of musketeers finished firing, they quickly retreated to the last to reload their ammunition, and the second platoon of musketeers made up for it and fired at the Liao sentry cavalry. After the second row of musketeers finished firing, they retreated to the back to reload their ammunition, and at this time, the musketeers who fired the first time had already loaded their ammunition and stood forward from the last row to the second platoon, ready to stand by at any time.

The Liao army sentry finally realized that something was wrong, and the tactics of this group of Zhao troops they had also encountered in Liaodong. This is the tactic of the Liao army's two southern expeditions, and the He people's firecrackers dealt with the Liao army's iron cavalry attack!

How could the town army of Beizhili also have such tactics!

"Black! It's a riding camp! ”

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the Liao army's sentry horse.

A Liao army sentry saw clearly that the Zhao army array in front of him was full of black-clothed soldiers. This kind of black military robe Liao Jun Zhi has seen a Zhao army wearing this kind of black military robe: that is He Tengxiao of the He clan in Liaodong, the military robe of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is very different from the Great Zhao Zhen Army, not wearing a red military robe, but a black military robe.
