Chapter 0520 - Circling the West Mountain

In an instant, a round of charges passed, and the cavalry of the two armies staggered by, and there was no disadvantage or disadvantage, but Zhao Kuangyin, who was stationed on the horse heights, still found that the strength of the army was significantly less than that of the enemy. When the cavalry of the two armies turned around at www.biquge.info the same time to meet the enemy again, the side was already weak.

"Ordered the front army, and ordered Liu Guangyi to lead 3,000 cavalry to bypass from the south side of the village and attack the enemy's rear." Zhao Kuangyin's face sank like water, seeing that this Liao cavalry did not look like a harassment battle that left with one blow, that is, it was intended to drag the large army of the previous side, if he could take the opportunity to inflict a heavy blow on it, it would be a blow to the defenders in Youzhou City.

The heralds rode away, but the front army was already far away, and the detour was at least more than ten miles, and it could not be reached for a while. But on the battlefield in front of him, after two rounds of charge, the Liao cavalry combat mode became more mobile and flexible, and he had a strong grasp of the direction.

And every time they approached, there must be a salvo, so that their own cavalry will be killed, on the contrary, the cavalry has been led by the nose of the Liao cavalry to chase after it, once the chase is close, the Liao cavalry immediately turned around, and then several rounds of salvo fire.

Turning, teasing, and constantly dragging their own side to a suitable distance before releasing arrows, the horse army has fallen into an embarrassing situation of chasing and not being able to catch up, fighting and not being able to fight, and having nowhere to go, this situation is only a matter of time before it is defeated, and the difference with the Liao army is not only tactics, equestrianism is the fundamental problem.

Now that the fight has begun, tens of thousands of troops are being tyrannized like a small group of Liao riding dogs here, Zhao Kuangyin began to be calm, and he was very depressed at this time, and finally became angry, blushing and couldn't help yelling: "It's bearable, it's unbearable!" Brethren! Kill the enemy with someone! ”

At this time, the dry grass on the battlefield has been leveled, the Liao army cavalry is on the north side, and the forbidden army cavalry is chasing on the south side, so the parallel state is in the range of the Liao army's bow and arrow, Zhao Kuangyin led more than 1,000 horsemen from the battlefield two or three miles, he shouted, dragged the big plate of dragon sticks to take the lead, the headquarters of the cavalry team started, and gradually accelerated, rushed downhill and rushed forward.

When the distance of more than a mile was crossed, Han Chongbin's troops had just turned to the north side, and the Liao army had just turned around in order to keep a distance and shoot, and it happened to collide head-on with Zhao Kuangyin, and this was also the time that Zhao Kuangyin saw.

Facing a chaotic rain of arrows, Zhao Kuangyin waved a large dragon stick and turned around, a two-foot short stick in front of the dragon stick and the long handle in his hand were connected by a live buckle, and with the action of the handle, the arrows flew out in the jingle sound.

Because of the suddenness and speed, the Liao cavalry was obviously caught off guard, and only the front team shot a rain of arrows from twenty or thirty paces, and it approached in an instant.

"Kill!" Zhao Kuangyin shouted, the big dragon stick slapped violently like a flail, and the oncoming rider was slapped off the horse as soon as he raised the scimitar. At the same time, with the rebound of the force generated when hitting the enemy horse, the large dragon stick reversed and attacked to the left, and at once the Liao cavalry on the other side borrowed horsepower to drag the knife fell off the horse.

When the Liao cavalry was forced to face the battle head-on, its combat power was almost the same as that of the forbidden army, because the scimitar was not a frontal hard combat weapon in martial arts, and it was a light and agile chopping, inverted dragging and pulling, and the weapons and equipment were inferior.

was intercepted head-on by Zhao Kuangyin's troops, and Han Chongbin's troops, who were left behind, immediately seized the opportunity to bite up, and divided his troops to outflank him left and right.

At this time, Xiao Bruben, the commander of the Liao army, was interested, and saw that the advantage he had gained was lost, but he was cut into three teams, but he remembered Xiao Siwen's reminder and unwillingly ordered his soldiers to blow the horn of retreat.

In the sound of the whining horn, the main general of the Liao army dragged the big banner upside down during the war, and at this time, as the effect of pointing out the direction, it was erected high at once, and moved to the north side surrounded by dozens of flags of various colors.

"Hugh has to fight! Follow a certain pursuit! Zhao Kuangyin, as the main general, was very sensitive to the sound of the horn and order, and immediately found the direction in which the Liao army was trying to escape, and immediately led more than 100 horsemen to break away from the large formation and run around the north to catch up.

If you are at a disadvantage and retreat, you often have to leave most of the troops behind, and Xiao Boru's Chinese army escaped from the battlefield first, but most of the thousands were still trapped in the cutting and outflanking cavalry of the forbidden army, and they could not escape for a while, but they were also moving north. When Zhao Kuangyin finally chased after him, he was blocked by the Liao cavalry who came out of the formation, and after a while, the Chinese army had fled three or four miles away.

Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Zhao Kuangyin was about to give up, when another roar came from afar, and he was in doubt, thousands of horses galloped wildly, and the big "Liu" character flag unfolded with the wind, Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed, and immediately threw off the small Liao horse, patted the horse and then caught up.

But the Liao army reacted quickly, and immediately turned to the north direction when he saw another blockade, Zhao Kuangyin led the troops to chase for several miles, but after all, he still did not catch up, and then intercepted for a while when he came back, and cleaned up the battlefield by the way, before he had time to wait for the officers to count the results, the former army came to report: Outside the city of Luxian, Yang Gon personally led the army out of the city to line up, but it was all horse army!

Zhao Kuangyin immediately rushed back to the Chinese army and asked the sentry cavalry to find out and report again, but he never found out how much the specific horse army was. After this delay, Han Chongbin of the rear army came to report: More than 1,700 beheadings in the previous battle were comparable to the dead soldiers on the other side.

Seeing this result, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly did not have confidence in the large-scale horse battle of the forbidden army, and immediately built a camp in Sunhou Township with the main force, and ordered Wang Xianqi and Liu Guangyi to lead the front army to test, but in the evening, the front army came back without fighting.

The next day, Zhao Kuangyin led his troops to advance to the open area outside the west gate of Luxian County, with 20,000 infantry troops in the center and 10,000 horse troops in the flank, but Yang Gon closed the door again. Because the main cavalry of the Liao State is dominant, the infantry field battle is much worse than the elite of the forbidden army, with his own shortcomings and the strength of attacking the enemy, of course Yang Gon will not do it, and now Zhao Kuangyin also has to face the problem of attacking the city.

At this time, Murong Yanzhao, who sent troops on the same day, led his troops to the north, bypassing Xiangshan that day, and after crossing the Wenrong River in Shenshi, he was already very close to Changping. Because before the army set off, Xingzai had sent someone to inform Yuan Yan, and at this time, he sent his second son Yuan Tong to meet him.

Yuan Yan's eldest son served as the imperial leader of the palace gate in Beijing, and the second son has been taking him with him for training, and is currently the commander of the Chengde Ya Inner Army, Chinese New Year's Eve, with a slightly dark complexion and medium stature, but he is good at riding and shooting, and has repeatedly faced battles.

"General Murong's march is the best, Yelu Tart Lie is attacking the city very urgently today, the battle has not stopped since the early morning, my father Marshal hopes that the general will go to Machikou and make a detour to Xiakou Town at the exit of Xishan, and now it is too late to rush, so that tomorrow morning he can fight with my father and Shuai before and after, and completely expel the Tart Lie's Western Route Army."

Xishan is the military capital mountain in the northwest of Changping, its mountain peaks and peaks are stacked and green, the extension distribution range is very wide, there is a long section of canyon mountain road between Yongguan and Changping, and there is a Nankou town at the mountain pass The location is very important.

"Seeing that there is still more than an hour left in this day, but you have to detour sixty or seventy miles of mountain roads, Yuan Yuanjun is inevitably a strong man, right?" When Murong Yanzhao heard this, his head was suddenly full of black lines, and he saw that he was about to reach the place, but he actually had to take a detour.

He checked the map before giving the order, and also asked the villagers near Lusitai to inquire as a guide for the army, and knew that there was such a small road from the south of Changping to the exit of the West Mountain from Juyong Pass, but the path was very difficult to walk, and the hardships and dangers of the cavalry marching on the mountain road were needless to say.
