Chapter 167: Horseshoe Rush (14)

At the same time, he felt strange when he thought about it, and at the same time, he warned himself to be cautious when he fought tomorrow, and he must be more careful, and sent someone to prepare a detour from the path to tell Yelu Yanxi about this discovery.

As for whether the people sent can deliver this military information safely, it is really unknown.

Xiao Fengxian judged the strength of the Jurchen army by the number of bonfires of the Jurchen army, and he couldn't help but be a little cautious at the moment and said: "Tell the soldiers below not to go out of the camp easily, just guard here and cover Your Majesty's retreat." ”

This military order is undoubtedly the most appropriate strategy.

The morning breeze gently blew away the mist between the mountains of Huyungang, and the green on the mountains slowly appeared.

When the first rays of sunlight broke through the pre-dawn darkness and made the mountains glow with a faint golden light, the Jurchen soldiers and horses of the Yinshu Ke Department had already finished arraying, just waiting for the order to fight.

Yinshu can be dressed in cold iron armor, wearing a heavy iron armor, there are as many as three layers, these equipment, even if it is an ordinary armor, is enough to suppress them a little breathless, and Yinshu can live here, but can wear this body to run like flying, between the exchanges, one by one military orders are issued!

The war horse stayed quietly by Yinshuke's side, Yinshuke held the saddle in his hand, raised his eyes to see the banner on the Huyungang Mountain, and said to himself: "This opportunity can't be missed!" If it is done well, the last meager resistance of the Liao people is nothing, and it is impossible to say that they can capture the Dog Emperor alive, no matter what it is for, they must do a good job. ”

When the sun shone on the trunks of the trees on the mountain range, the sound of war drums finally came from the direction of the main force of Yinshuke, and when they heard the sound of war drums, they just waved the flag in their hands violently, and the Jurchens shook their spirits up and down, and the queue began to move neatly towards Huyungang.

There are 10,000 soldiers and horses, it looks like it is overwhelming, the Jurchen armor in front of them, although there are only thousands of people, but they are all cavalry, and the interval between people and horses must always be retained, otherwise when rushing to kill, it is inevitable that the robe will be injured, and the Jurchen was born on horseback, compared with the Liao people who have been sinicized for more than 100 years, the bow horse is naturally skilled to the point that I don't know what, at this time the Jurchen army has lined up the black pressure phalanx, which makes people dizzy, Wanyan Lou Room hesitated again and again, and finally issued the order to march into the army.

According to past combat experience, when attacking, you should control the speed of travel, and wait until you are close to the range of the enemy's strong bow and crossbow before charging at full speed, which can reduce the number of soldiers killed by the enemy's bow and arrow.

But what Xiao Fengxian didn't expect was that when the Jurchen armor cavalry had not yet approached the camp, their crossbowmen began to release arrows, and the range of the Jurchen army's bows and crossbows was beyond Xiao Fengxian's imagination, and soldiers continued to fall under the flying crossbow arrows.

Generally speaking, the strength of the horse bow, compared with the horn bow used by the infantry, the foot bow is softer, and the range is far less than enough, but the Jurchen armor in front of the face is shot straight over like this, to say that the arrow, or the Song people's divine arm bow is the most powerful, speaking of which, this is still the general existence of the crossbow machine, although the general crossbow machine is convenient, it does not take much effort, but compared to the bow of the armor, it is still smaller.

It's just that the divine arm bow is really a product of the Song people's strong economic and technological support, and it is not lost at all in terms of range and strength, and it is a three-arrow succession, but the Jurchen knights in front of him, with their strong arm strength, pull the bow and release the arrows from a distance, and for a while, the wall is like cutting straw, and a large piece of it has fallen, and the overall peak ability of the Jurchen warriors in this era has been perfectly reflected.

The Liao people in front of them actually fired arrows to fight back, and the arrows shot crookedly not far from the Jurchen iron hooves, but the Jurchens were not killed or injured in a single person or horse.

Yinshu could see this situation, but he just laughed and scolded, "What kind of ordinary thing is the Liao dog in front of him, even the range of the arrow is not good, and it is not a certain one to pull it off under the face." ”

As I said before, Yelu Yanxi fled here, but there are only five or six thousand elites left, and even if these elites have combat strength, their morale will inevitably decline, and Yunzhou has not been in war for a long time, the military is not prosperous, and the new army recruited in a panic has no combat power.

And the elite are all in Yelu Yanxi's Chinese army, before they have time to take a breath, the Jurchen armor soldiers called, but they didn't give them any time to react, these soldiers and horses, the quality is not comparable, the new army trained by Dashi Linya in Yanjing, many people saw this situation, they scolded on the wall: "Damn it, the Jurchens must have installed a new crossbow machine, otherwise how can there be such a long range!" ”

Slowly within the range of the Liao army, but the arrow is fired again, but it is already less lethal, the silver can be ordered to speed up, only by accelerating the advance can the casualties of the soldiers be reduced, as long as the Jurchen armor warrior has half of the men and horses rushing to the front of the Liao crossbowman, you can push to the wall with a hook and sickle, and instantly change this passive situation.

After Yan Lou sat in the rear army, Yinshu could personally put on the armor, and the two guards beside him fell one after another, and Yinshu could fight to shoot down a few crossbow arrows, but he was still hit by two arrows in his legs and arms, and he couldn't help but be glad that he was wearing heavy armor, otherwise he would be seriously injured if he didn't die!

Jurchen armor soldiers come and go like the wind, only in a moment is to kill to the feet, the Liao people on the wall, but did not see much resistance, is to throw down the bow and arrow and run, no matter what, their psychological quality is naturally extremely low, countless iron guns, horse lances, is to push the gate together, a gate is to the ground, behind the armor is swarming in.

Xiao Fengxian was also ready for battle in the Chinese army, but before Xiao Fengxian could order reinforcements to various walled gates, a soldier immediately came to report that a walled gate had been occupied by the Jurchen army.

When Xiao Fengxian heard this, he had to lead the main force to intercept the Jurchen army, at this moment, this group of wastes was also defeated too quickly, I only hope that his family can catch up in time and plug this gap quickly, how much confidence does he have in himself? To tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that he had no way out, but that he was a minister who must be eliminated on the Jurchen blacklist, he couldn't say that he would either surrender or flee at this time.

Huyungang is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, but the military village here has long been abandoned to be worth mentioning, there are still dozens of acres of fertile land below, this situation is also for the reason, the Jurchens fought in a hurry, and there was no chance to repair, only under a charge, it was broken, and the situation had reached a moment of danger.
