Since he guessed that Li Chao was going to fight a defensive counterattack, Zhao Xiaoxi naturally had to change the arrangement, and it was undoubtedly the best way to catch them off guard. And Li Chao's army wanted to destroy the artillery team, so he put the artillery team in the middle.

With the cavalry of the Li Dynasty taking the lead, they became the first to go out of the camp to counterattack. And what they faced was not the iron bucket formation of the Song army lined with shields and guns, but the attack of the artillery team loaded with scattered bullets.

Looking at the cannonballs that flew straight to the face, they scattered before they landed, and it seemed that the fragments and iron beads in the cannonballs were like the heavenly maidens. swept a large area, and the people and horses next to the center were all killed, and it was an invincible weapon to kill the enemy.

But at the moment, these cavalrymen, knowing that this shell would kill people, had no way to retreat. The reason is that their army has already set off. If they can't break through the Song army's military formation, the army will surround them, and they can only encircle and annihilate them.

The three commanders who followed behind the army as the town commander immediately realized that they had been fooled when they saw that there were still so many artillery pieces in the Song army's array. But just as the cavalry thought, they had to jump knowing that it was a pit.

Just when the cavalry was under the pressure of the cannonballs, falling in pieces. They were not far from the front of the Song army's military formation. At this time, Zhao Xiaoxi raised his gun and said: "Cavalry, follow me to attack!" ”

The flag bearer waved the flag in his hand. From the military formation below Zhao Xiaoxi's cavalry, a passage for cavalry to charge was revealed. Zhao Xiaoxi, who also took the lead, took the lead in shooting the horse with a gun.

When the 500 cavalry came out, the formation immediately returned to its original state. At this time, the artillery team began to adjust the gun position, and selected the Li Dynasty infantry who were constantly approaching the formation, and did their best to reduce the pressure on the formation.

Zhao Xiaoxi and the others who were killed faced with nearly a thousand Li Dynasty cavalry, but none of them felt anything afraid. On the contrary, for many of the cavalry of the Guards. What an honorable thing it is to be able to go into battle with Cho Hyo-seok to kill the enemy.

Facing Zhao Xiaoxi and the others who were killed in a V-shaped formation, the cavalry of the Li Dynasty also felt relieved. The reason is that the terrible shell finally stopped exploding above their heads. This means that they were lucky enough to escape.

Looking at the cavalry of the Song Dynasty, which was half as numerous as them. The cavalry of the Li Dynasty also felt that they could fight with them in this situation. Many commanders of the cavalry of the Li Dynasty also shouted orders to kill the enemy.

When Zhao Xiaoxi confronted a Li Dynasty cavalry who rushed to the front, before the Li Dynasty cavalry could react, he felt a pain in his chest, and the whole person fell directly under the horse. Then it was trampled into mud by countless horses' hooves.

And at the moment of falling, he saw that behind Zhao Xiaoxi, there were constantly cavalry of the Li Dynasty falling on their horses. From start to finish. Cho Hyo-seok's silver spears flew and each cavalryman could only make one move under him.

The cavalry of the Guards with Zhao Xiaoxi as the arrow also intercepted and killed, all the cavalry far away from Zhao Xiaoxi. This kind of short-distance confrontation between cavalry looks undoubtedly bloody, and it is often the difference between life and death with a single move.

It's just that compared with the number of cavalry of the guards who fell off their horses, the casualty number of the cavalry of the Li Dynasty is constantly increasing. Especially the arrow of Cho Hyo-seok. The cavalry of the Li Dynasty in front of him was nothing at all.

There were even four cavalry attachés of the Li Dynasty. Join forces to fight against Cho Hyo-seok, who is extremely ferocious in their opinion. But the four of them were under Zhao Xiaoxi's hands, and they also only took four moves, and they were all killed under the horse, becoming a corpse trampled by a war horse.

Wait until Zhao Xiaoxi chiseled through the formation of the Li Dynasty cavalry, and looked at the surviving cavalry of the headquarters around him. Although there were some casualties. But compared to the ground, it looks like the casualties of the Li Dynasty cavalry, which is undoubtedly much slighter.

Seeing this situation, Cho Hyo-seok, who turned the horse's head. The armor was stained with enemy blood, and the spear cherry blossoms were also dyed blood-red. Raise the gun and say: "Shoot back, wipe it out in one battle!" Kill! ”

Zhao Xiaoxi, who came out of the horse, immediately made a comeback with the cavalry of the headquarters that also broke through the cavalry formation of the Li Dynasty. The cavalry of the Li Dynasty, which was already in shock, was wiped out in front of the two armies like pursuit.

This ferocious and fast way of engaging made the soldiers of the Li Dynasty who kept running out also exude a chill in their hearts. At this time, Zhao Xiaoxi ordered: "All the troops return to the camp and fight again later!" ”

As his spear was raised, the Song army, which had not yet waited for the Li Dynasty's army to surround it, also seemed extremely excited to give way to the road. watched these victorious cavalry return, and the fastest Li Dynasty cavalry turned into a corpse.

Finally realized that the three Li Dynasty commanders who were so powerful in the cavalry of the Song Dynasty never imagined that their cavalry would be so vulnerable. But if they knew that this was the most elite cavalry under Zhao Xiaoxi, they probably wouldn't think like this.

You must know that the cavalry of these royal guards are all fighting against the most ferocious Fanbang cavalry in the northwest. And most of them have won victories, so they will be selected to Zhao Xiaoxi's side one after another to serve as the cavalry of the guards.

Compared with these cavalrymen of the Li Dynasty, they usually fight infantry or are more engaged in vigilance, and they have not experienced much cavalry warfare. would be defeated so quickly at the hands of the cavalry of the Song Dynasty, which is also a normal thing in the eyes of Zhao Xiaoxi and others.

With the three-way attack army of the Li Dynasty, it finally entered the bombardment range of the artillery team. Without Zhao Xiaoxi's order, the commander of the artillery team had already issued preparations for opening the artillery. The scattered bullets were thrown out again.

Looking at the dense Li Dynasty attacking troops under a cannonball, an area where no one is standing will appear. These Li Dynasty soldiers who were rushing forward also felt that the soles of their feet began to feel cold.

But at this time, they could no longer retreat. Let's not talk about the fate of being a deserter, that is, being directly beheaded by their commanders. Whether or not they can escape the pursuit of artillery shells alone is also a question worth considering.

All they can pray now is that when the shells fall, they don't fall to their own location. And this kind of prayer is naturally fulfilled by some people, and some people are not so lucky.

At a time when the artillery team was constantly hitting the morale of the Li Dynasty's army and sharing the pressure on the defensive troops of this formation. The cavalry guarding the left and right sides also began to run, using the tactics of rangers to constantly throw arrows at the attacking troops of the Li Dynasty.

In the face of these rangers coming and going, the officers and soldiers of the Li Dynasty, who wanted to distance themselves a little, had to regroup together. And gathered together, they will become the target of artillery attacks.

In short, in the process of this kind of rush, these Li Dynasty soldiers also felt. Why does it seem like a short road, but it always can't run? While being shot by arrows, and at the same time being shelled, this feeling can be imagined.

The vanguard units of the Li Dynasty, which had escaped the shelling, began to enter the firing range of the archers. The shield-bearers also began to raise their shields. The archers, on the orders of the commander, began to enter the iron arrow throw.

The pikemen, who were hiding behind the shieldmen, and the musketeers, were also preparing for the final attack. What they had to do was to kill the lucky ones who had escaped the artillery bombardment and the archers' shots one by one in front of their own army.

Just when many Li Dynasty soldiers were looking closer and closer to the shield hand of the Song army, they suddenly heard the Song army shouting: "Withdraw the shield!" ”

At the command of the shield, the tightly attached shields were immediately removed, and the musketeers, who were loaded in place, immediately opened fire. The voice of 'Peng Peng Peng' sounded, and after a burst of gunsmoke, the fish that slipped through the net had no chance of surviving.

In a five-stage combined attack, one platoon of musketeers finished firing, and the second platoon immediately made up for it. Alternately, by the time the musketeers in the fifth round had finished firing, the musketeers in the first row had finished loading their bullets and gunpowder.

This means that the distance of 100 meters in front of the Song army's main formation will be a dense death zone. Groups of Li Dynasty soldiers who felt that victory was within reach were directly knocked over to the ground by this smoking weapon, and screamed again and again.

Cho Hyo-seok, who was standing in the center of the formation, watched as the artillery made long-range attacks, the archers made medium-range attacks, and the musketeers fired at close range. Although there are still some problems in cooperation, it also makes the Li Dynasty army unable to cross the Lei Chi.

It was at this time that the rear of the Li Chao camp, which was empty of troops, suddenly sounded a fierce explosion. What followed was a noisy shout of killing. This situation made the three people who stayed behind the army feel cold.

If their camp is broken and the back road is cut off, these tens of thousands of troops are afraid that they will all be destroyed here. This kind of crisis, in which the front cannot be broken through and the back road may be copied, has made many officers and soldiers of the Li Dynasty have already retreated.

It's not that they're not brave enough to fight, it's that the enemy they've encountered is too ferocious. Such an enemy is simply impossible to defeat. With this thought, and looking at the corpses that kept dying, finally some soldiers began to stop.

Zhao Xiaoxi, who had been observing the movements of the Li Dynasty's army, saw this scene and immediately said: "Order, the light cavalry on both sides will start to copy in two pieces." Divide and encircle the current enemy! ”

With the sound of the piercing horn, the light cavalry that was constantly harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the Li Dynasty was constantly harvesting on the periphery. Immediately put down the bows and arrows in their hands, replaced them with sabers and spears, and stabbed fiercely at the Li Dynasty army formation, which was afraid of them.

Infantry against cavalry in the field has a natural weakness in itself. In addition, the army of the Li Dynasty was staring more at the Song army's main formation in front. thought that relying on the strength of the troops, it was enough to drag these Song army rangers.

But now, the Rangers have finally shown their hideous faces and begun to cut their formations. It means that this big war is not far from defeat for the Li Dynasty.

When the rangers began to move, Zhao Xiaoxi ordered again: "The artillery team will not move, the shield soldiers will advance defensively, and the musketeers will make up for it." Fight back against the Li Dynasty's army! Cavalry, follow me! ”

As soon as the order was given, the flag bearer gave the order, and the shield-bearer immediately raised his iron shield one man high. Under the protection of musketeers and pikemen, step by step they advanced towards the Li Chao soldiers who were attacking them.

This spear and shield were like a forest, and they advanced in unison, and finally made the Li Dynasty army realize the crisis. With Zhao Xiaoxi's cavalry breaking through the enemy, those officers and soldiers of the Li Dynasty finally turned their heads and began to flee in all directions, not wanting to throw their lives here!
