Guns are stabbing, knives are chopping, knights are galloping, and warriors are breaking through.

More than 10,000 people, the cavalry was the arrow of the entire breakthrough team, and they had no horses.

After being surrounded on the mountain for five days, people have no food, and they can still kill horses and eat horse meat raw. And the war horse has no horse material, and after being hungry for five days, there is no longer a war horse to get up again.

After eating the last meal of raw horse meat, Yuan Taidi finally ordered the whole army to break through. Even if they all die again, they can't be surrounded on this mountain like this again.

The knights, who had no horses, were still elite, wearing light armor and holding long riding spears, forming a huge array of triangular arrows, and they were completely afraid of death and rushed down the mountain. Even if the bow and arrow are shot in the body and the spear is stabbed into the body, as long as they are not dead, these people will continue to rush down the mountain in a frenzy.

On both sides of the arrow formation, there were all foot knights with small round shields. They held shields on either side of the array, and they kept swinging their sabers and slashing.

Yuan Taidi also had no war horse, he was dressed in armor, walking in the middle of the array, he carried a big knife, and shouted, "Brothers, kill!" If you die in battle, you won't surrender, there are too many Ransui people who have died at our hands, and if you surrender to them, you have to be a slave if you don't die. ”

The person in charge of commanding the encirclement was General Li Benlei, who calmly mobilized his troops and horses for the suicide breakthrough of this army.

Guo Xiaoke's heavy cavalry was dispatched, and the thunderous hooves of the horses rushed straight to the Liao people's formation with rolling dust.

Cavalry without horses, no matter how elite they are, are only infantry without horses, and even infantry is not comparable. Because the armor of the infantry will be thicker than their leather armor, because the infantry will have large shields.

And they only have light armor and small shields, and even they have long been accustomed to the cavalry formation, "and now they have suddenly become infantry, and they can't even put a complete infantry formation."

The horse's hooves flew, the horse's lance sprinted, and the entire Liao people's formation was suddenly broken into two. Guo Xiaoke led the cavalry straight through the Liao formation, turned the horse's head, and rushed back with the men and horses, once or twice, three times, four times, every time the Sui army hit a burst of "the Liao people's formation will be broken once."

After four or five consecutive attacks, the more than 10,000 horses of Yuan Taidi have long since lost a complete formation, and at this time, they are basically a small formation of hundreds of people, erecting round shields on each side to form a defensive array, while defending against the charge of heavy cavalry, while still moving closer to the center, trying to gather into a formation again.

The sound of Jin Tie Lou and the sound of swords entering the flesh one after another, one after another small formations were broken by the cavalry, and one after another Liao soldiers who lost the cover of the formation were killed.

When Chen Kefu arrived, it had been fighting here for half an hour, and the more than 10,000 horseless knights of Yuan Taifu had already killed more than 1,000 people at this time, and although the rest of them were not dead, they had already been shocked by the Sui army. Although they all bent on death, they could only be rushed around by the impact of Sui Cai.

"Dashuai, Yuan Taidi still refuses to surrender, now that Guo Xiaoke has broken through them, why don't you let Li Shimin's heavy infantry surround them and annihilate them directly with bows and crossbows." As soon as Li Benlei saw that Chen Ke had come over, he hurriedly stepped forward, although the soldiers of the heavy cavalry completely abused these horseless cavalry, but they still caused some damage to the heavy cavalry. Many of the new cavalry were still killed.

Chen Kefu shook his head and didn't agree, if what Yuan Gaitong said just now was true. So"

Chen Kefu has to think about the next exchange of prisoners of war. And this Yuan Taiyu is the eldest son of Lu Yuanziyou, and he is also the commander of the Northeast Coalition Army, which is indeed very important. If he had been added to the negotiations, the stakes would have been much heavier.

They had already killed one of Yuan Ziyou's second sons before, and if one of their eldest sons who was so important at this time also killed. Needless to say, even if the Liao people really had the tens of thousands of prisoners of war that the Sui army defeated last time, I am afraid that the Liao people would not agree to the exchange. Maybe once Yuanziyou, who lost his second son, gets angry and leads Goguryeo to fight him with all his might, it will really be more than worth the loss.

Chen Kefu didn't immediately tell the old man about the captivity, after all, this matter is only a one-sided statement, in case everything is fake, it will make the old man even more sad. It's better to hide it from him for the time being, and then tell him when things are clear, if he really has relatives alive, it will be a surprise. If not, then it will be regarded as if it didn't happen, and it won't touch the old man's wounded heart again. ,

"Since Na Yuan Taidi refuses to surrender, then let's look at it this way, let Li Shimin's heavy infantry brigade dispatch, and then transfer one or two divisions, a total of nearly 30,000 people to surround them. Then let Guo Xiaoke's heavy cavalry brigade cut them into a dozen or so teams, and then divide and surround them. Finally, the regiment is used as a unit, and the soldiers of each regiment are transferred to fight in turn, and each regiment fights for an hour, and then they are replaced. Chen Kefu said indifferently.

The old man was stunned for a moment, "Dashuai, what are you going to do?" ”

Lu Shishen was also suspicious: "Handsome." To deal with these toothless wolves, why bother to let everyone take turns. Our second division will be done with one division. Leave it to us, I promise to settle all the Liao people before sunset. ”

Mao Yi said calmly, "Don't mess up, if the marshal really wants to annihilate these Liao people, just mobilize crossbowmen as the old man said, and it won't be long before these Liao people will be annihilated." Besides, even if you really want to send troops to fight, then it has to be our first division, and your second division has to be behind us. ”

Chen Kefu smiled on his face, pointed to Guo Xiaoke, who was galloping in the distance, and Li Shimin, who was on the side of the formation, and said, "This ambush battle is far out of our plan, and the troops almost collapsed completely in the middle.

But fortunately, it was we who won in the end, and it was a very great victory. I can even say that this is more critical and meaningful than the capture of Liaodong City. ”

Looking at Li Benlei, Mao Yi, and Lu Shishen's puzzled looks, Chen Kefu said solemnly, "We can take Liaodong City, but in fact, Your Majesty has consumed the strength of Liaodong City, and anyone can take Liaodong City." However, after winning this battle, we fought a serious field battle, although the real soldiers and horses of the Liao people were only 30,000 people, and we were still fighting ambushes.

But let's not forget that of our 70,000 soldiers and horses, only 10,000 are veterans, and the rest are new soldiers. ”

"Do you know what kind of mood I felt when I saw the Liao people who stepped into the canyon so overwhelming, and I gave up this battle for a while. Now we won, albeit narrowly. ”

Li Benlei, Mao Yi and others also recalled the battle that day, and they were still a little afraid in their hearts, and the victory or defeat was really hanging by a thread. If they break through the Liao army a little later, then it will be their own side that will be defeated first.

"Marshal, you are invincible, defeat the strong with the weak, and you will become a famous general in history!"

Chen Kefu shook his head modestly, "No, this battle is not my credit, it is the result of the hard work of all the soldiers." It was the result of Guo Xiaoke's madness with the heavy cavalry, the result of Mao Yi leading more than 10,000 recruit infantry, but the successful use of the straggler mille-feuille paper formation to drag the Liao people's 5,000 elite cavalry, and the result of Li Shimin and their heavy infantry brigade not afraid of death, brave and daring to die. It was the generals who came to the front line to fight, and it was General Li Jie and the post-engineering battalion, logistics battalion,

Results of medical camp assistance. Even the result of the sacrifice of General Liu Tiezhu's Fifth Division. ”

Li Jie stood aside, pursed his lips slightly, and whispered as if talking to himself, "The court will only remember you, and the history books will only remember your name, and history will not remember details and small people." It's such a soldier who has fulfilled you, and you will succeed in ten thousand bones! It's just that there is a little bit of sourness in those words, and his subconscious meaning is that he still hopes that person is himself.

"But there was a huge fluke in this, and this victory was just our luck. But no one can tell how long this good fortune will stay with us. Therefore, we still have to have our own strength to do it, and victory is not a prayer, but a victory won by ourselves. Since Na Yuan Tai is unwilling to surrender, then use him for surplus value. Our recruits lack actual combat, and lack the experience of blood and fire. ”

"The previous battles are over, but in the near future we will face even more brutal battles. A few days ago, we were facing 80,000 Liao people, and it can be said that they are too strong.

We don't fight. However, not long after, when the Liao people went north again with a large army and came to the city of Liaodong, we could not say to them, "There are too many of you, I will not fight." Since it can't be done, then the only way to do this is to seize the time to improve the combat effectiveness of the fighters, and now that there is a best sparring force there, why should we waste it? Let the brethren go up, if they can't even beat the toothless tiger now, then no one can save them when faced with a real tiger. ”

"Old man, you come to arrange, remember, divide the enemy into ten sections, each time we transfer a regiment up, two thousand people fight a thousand or so, if we still can't win, then I have nothing to say.

Send all the troops up so that every soldier has a chance to face the battle properly.

Before the battle, the squad and platoon commanders in some of your regiments will give them a lesson on how to lead soldiers on the battlefield. ”

"We have more than 30 regiments, divide the Liao people into ten teams, send ten regiments of men and horses to fight each time, and the rest of the soldiers watch the battle, and you are responsible for teaching those grassroots officers on the side. One regiment fights for an hour, then another regiment, and when the three hours are over, if Yuan Tai Huang still refuses to surrender, then surround them and drive them back to the mountain, I will see how long they can hold out. Remember, this Yuan Tai Gu is important to us, but don't let him die. ”
