As a ghost cavalry army built by Zhao Xiaoxi and used to fight against the elite cavalry of Fanbang. Every member of this cavalry is at least a second-rate master in the rivers and lakes. Don't underestimate this second-rate, after all, it's also a master of the stream!

has excellent martial arts, plus these warriors have superb riding and archery skills. The combination of these three and the combat effectiveness exerted are naturally extremely amazing. After all, this is the best of the best!

If you really want to talk about it, many of the officers and soldiers of this ghost cavalry army are members of Zhao Xiaoxi's royal guard. These people can also be described as multi-purpose troops who can fight on horseback and on foot when they get off their horses.

For these soldiers of the ghost cavalry army, except for Zhao Xiaoxi, no one can command them. Even if Zhao Xu was the emperor, he couldn't make them obey orders. This kind of loyalty can also be said to be absolutely unique.

Many soldiers in this ghost cavalry army have participated in cavalry duels in the northwest. This time, I was fortunate to fight side by side with Zhao Xiaoxi, and these soldiers were naturally very happy. I feel that I can see Zhao Xiaoxi's heroic posture in the sand war again.

There are more than 10,000 cavalry, and the movement of the late-night march is naturally not small. But at this time, the attention of the two countries was focused on the Fengtai Plain. No one would have thought that the Great Song Dynasty still had such a strange army, waiting for the opportunity to go on the expedition at the end.

Of the 10,000 elite cavalry from Liaoxi, Zhao Xiaoxi did not take command, but still taught Qiao Feng to command. Under Zhao Xiaoxi's command, only this thousand ghost cavalry followed. The rest of the guards and cavalry in the secret camp continued their mission of harassing enemy lines.

experienced a short and long night in the eyes of many people. The officers and men of the Song army who got up early in the morning heard the sound of the horn sounding in the camp of the Liao army. Hearing this kind of horn sound, Zhang Dian and the others immediately realized that the Liao army was going to attack today.

This kind of horn sound is for some generals who have dealt with the Liao army. They all know what it means. When the horn sounds, it means the general mobilization of the cavalry. What was the purpose of mobilizing the cavalry at this time?

didn't care about accompanying Zhao Xu to dinner, Zhang Dian ordered as soon as possible, and all the cavalry troops were dispatched to protect the army. The rest of the cavalry of the border army were all under the command of the commanders of the battalions of the cavalry. Prepare for a decisive battle with the Liao cavalry.

In addition to this, the infantry camp began to line up along the central army. Zhao Xu, who was unable to leave, was naturally protected in the center of the large military camp. Even the cavalry camp also arranged for 3,000 elites to accompany him.

As the most central side of the guard, Zhao Eighteen's artillery team was also set up in front of Zhao Xu's formation. The 3,000 reinforcements also appeared in front of the army for the first time, cooperating with the shield soldiers as the first line of defense.

Be clear about this decisive battle. There will also be situations where foot riders attack each other. If the cavalry of the Liao State wanted to enter the Song army, they had to break through the blockage of the Song cavalry. Therefore, the best way is to separate the foot and ride each other.

The Fengtai Plain is very large, and the large army of 500,000 people is arranged here, and it does not seem to be crowded. In front of the two armies, there were vast plains, leaving the armies of both sides for a decisive battle.

There is only one side of the foot riding. Only by achieving absolute superiority can we support another kind of army in our country. And the strategy adopted by the Liao State. It was the cavalry that won, the infantry charged, and prevented the Song infantry from supporting the cavalry.

In the eyes of the Liao generals, the infantry was always a subordinate unit to the cavalry. Such troops, even if some are consumed, they will not feel any distress. Someone anyway. Such troops can be replenished at any time.

In contrast, the cavalry from various tribes was their foundation. If the cavalry is too damaged, it will also be a nerve-wracking thing for the Liao State. Just for now. They had to fight.

If the sixteen states of Yanyun are lost, and the imperial city of Nanjing, which represents the Great Liao, is lost, then whether the country of the Great Liao will be recognized by all tribes is also a matter worth considering.

For some of the big tribes, they were willing to do what the royal family of Jerod did. What's more, their capital is abundant, and sitting on a rich land like Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures can bring them many benefits.

If the royal family of Yelu loses these rich lands, they retreat to the steppe afterward. It is bound to be seized, the self-reserved land of some tribes. This led to a conflict between the two sides, and for the nomadic tribes, the grassland was the territory, the lifeblood of the tribe.

Seeing the rapid dispatch of troops from the Great Song Dynasty, Yelu Liangcai, the commander-in-chief of the Liao army, also sighed: "This Song army is indeed the strongest since the old man fought with the Song Dynasty. No matter who wins or loses this time, I'm afraid that if I fight again in the future, the old man will never see it. ”

These words fell into the ears of the commander of the Liao army who accompanied him, and he also knew that this good general who was born in the royal family. This time, I was ready to succeed and become a benevolent. If you lose, you will die here, and if you win, I am afraid that it will also be a miserable victory.

The Song army in front of him, whether it was infantry or cavalry, did put pressure on the Liao army that he had never had before. The disparity between the forces of the two sides is not large, and no matter which side fights, I am afraid that it will be a miserable victory.

And today, this Fengtai Plain, which was once regarded as a racecourse by the royal family, will turn blood-red. The 500,000-strong army fought a decisive battle here, and the blood will surely stain the entire grassland. They could all have predicted this kind of tragic scene that would appear.

Compared to yesterday's 10,000-horse duel, today's cavalry is even larger. The entire Fengtai Plain presents a row of waves of people and horses side by side. The cavalry on both sides, standing on the high ground of their own side, stared at the opponent who was about to fight to the death.

Such a cavalry duel can instantly decide a person's life and death. Whether they can survive this duel depends on their luck and strength. It's just that many people know that this battle will go down in history.

Whether to be a loser and be remembered forever by the world, or to be a winner to be honored forever. The cavalry of both sides, more hope for the latter. It's just that war is always full of uncertainty, and no one knows how to win or lose until the last moment.

Accompanied by the trumpeters in the rear of the Liao army, the horn was blown with an impassioned but desolate atmosphere. A group of Da Liao cavalry, waving their sabers, shouted a murderous aura that shook the sky, and really covered the sky and the sun to kill the high ground.

At the same time, Zhang Tingguang, who commanded the cavalry in the rear, also ordered people to beat the war drums of sortie. The sound of the knock knock, accompanied by the slaughter of the cavalry of the Song army, also seemed to be a little heroic.

Nearly 200,000 cavalry on both sides continued to attack together. The situation of people falling from their horses can be seen everywhere. The first contact between the two armies alone will cause thousands of people to lose their lives.

In this kind of duel, human life seems to be the least valuable thing. The road that accompanied the charge was blocked by a corpse of a man and a horse, and the cavalry duel between the two sides really began.

Compared with the cavalry of the Liao army, most of them are elites and will not be in any order. Zhang Tingguang knew that no matter how strong the cavalry was at the moment of engagement, there was absolutely no hope of survival. Therefore, most of the cavalry of the front army was held by the cavalry of the border army.

These border cavalrymen, of course, knew what it meant to let them fight in the vanguard. But they also knew that Zhang Tingguang and the emperor who was the army in the town had agreed. The soldiers who died in this battle will be doubled in the pension of the Shrine of Merit, and their families will be exempt from tax forever.

Such benefits are for these border soldiers. If you can survive, you are a hero. Even if they die, they can fight for a future for their families. And being a soldier, isn't the picture just to let the family live a good life?

Seeing that the cavalry of the two sides were entangled together, they began to fight bloodily. The commanders of both sides watched the situation on the battlefield. At the same time, Zhang Dian began to arrange the infantry camp and constantly attacked.

As far as Zhang Dian is concerned, he knows that the cavalry of the Song army is slightly inferior to that of the Liao State. But in the infantry battle, he was still confident that he would defeat the Liao army. Thus, as the cavalry began to entangle, the infantry phalanx began to press.

Expecting this situation, Yelu Liangcai quickly ordered: "Now it's the turn of the infantry, tell those generals who are in command." Before the cavalry finished the battle, the Song infantry was not allowed to step forward. Retirement, kill! ”

At this time, there is no room for any mercy. Yelu Liangcai also knows the truth that the first battle is successful. This is a battle related to the fortunes of the country, as long as he can win, he will not care how many people die.

With Yelu Liangcai's somewhat cold order, the infantry of the Liao army also began to attack. In the face of the Liao infantry who took the initiative to attack, Zhang Dian also knew it. The duel between the infantry has also begun!

Looking at the infantry on both sides, they began to attack the court with arrows and shields. Zhang Dan still gave the order, and the infantry phalanx continued to press forward. Only when the Liao army loses its square inch can the real decisive battle between the two armies begin.

In the face of the steady and rock-like advance of the Song army, the infantry commanders of the Liao army can do all they can do. Desperately forward, blocking the advance of the Song army with flesh and blood, and buying time for his own cavalry.

The infantry began to engage in a full-scale battle, and the sound of swords and soldiers on the Fengtai Plain also became resounding in the sky. At this time, the real commanders of both sides stayed in the rear of their own formations, always watching the progress of the situation on the battlefield.

Compared with Zhao Xu's side, the artillery team and the musket team have not yet engaged. On the side of the Liao army, the hoplites also did not fight. Perhaps both sides know that these forces will be reserved until the final decision is made.

At this time, the cavalry of the border army really realized the gap between them and the cavalry of the Liao army. Sometimes, even if two people deal with a Liao cavalry, it may not be them who win.

The cavalry soldiers who really acted as the foundation also burst out with their strongest combat power at this moment. To be selected into the cavalry, they are the elite of the elite, and this is the time for them to really show their talents.

The disparity between the cavalry of the Song army made the cavalry of the Liao army very uncomfortable. Some opponents find it easy to deal with. Some opponents find it extremely tricky. So much so that they can't tell the difference between the strong and the weak opponents!

Perhaps this incomprehension made the confrontation between the Song cavalry and the Liao cavalry more and more evenly matched. And with the delay of the battle, the cavalry losses of both sides are naturally decreasing! Who wins and who loses, it's really still unknown! (To be continued......)
