Chapter 136: The Liangzi of the Gaoliang River
Tong Yu frowned and said hesitantly, "Is this possible?" Such a big event, the northern country has not heard a single wind so far? ”
Yang Hao said: "From the reaction of the Liao people so far, I can only speculate on this, as for the truth, maybe it's just that the Northern Dynasty feels that the impact of the change of dynasty on the border war situation is not so great, but ...... If it's possible, you might as well give it a try. yzuu”
He didn't dare to trust his own judgment, so he turned his head and asked Li Jilong again: "On the Liao side, what is the situation now?" ”
Li Jilong said: "These rìzi, the ministers and the Liao people have fought dozens of battles, and their situation, the ministers have figured it out." Judging from the current situation, the main force of the Liao army in front of Dingzhou should be about 200,000, and the commander is Yelu Huge, judging from the banner shown by the other party in the previous battles, its commanders and generals are Han Kuangsi, Xiao Gan, Yelu Jinde, Xiao Tzu Rin and others, ......,"
Yang Hao sighed "hmm" and asked again: "What is the situation in Beijing from Liaoguo?" ”
Li Jilong was slightly surprised, and said in his heart: "I am a border guard general, and I have worked hard to find out the general situation of the enemy army on the opposite side in such a short period of time, what is the situation in Shangjing of Liao, how do I know?" ”
Although he was surprised in his heart, he still replied honestly: "After the ministers withdrew their troops, they were stationed at the border passes, divided their troops and sent generals, to resist the invading enemy, and there was no time to take care of other things, and the situation in Shangjing of the Liao State is really unknown." ”
Yang Hao smiled slightly and said: "You don't know, but I know that the queen mother and emperor of the Liao State have gone to Youzhou in person, sat in Nanjing, and supervised the battle for Yelu Huge. ”
Li Jilong was taken aback: "In this way, this time the Northern Dynasties really don't just want to fight back, they want to win a big victory in Youzhou, plus they have a famous teacher." The minister estimated that when the snow fell, the offensive of the Northern Dynasty would slow down, and since Emperor Liao personally sat in Nanjing, it seemed that it would be difficult to be good. ”
Yang Hao nodded, and he already had a point in his heart. Li Jilong didn't know that Empress Dowager Xiao had arrived in Youzhou, so Yelu Xiuge didn't know that Zhao Yuanzuochan, who had just ascended the throne, gave up the throne, and then he Yang Hao went straight to the border without stopping, which was not impossible.
Carefully calculated, from the Empress Dowager Xiao stationed in Youzhou, to the stage of Zhao Yuanzuo's Zen position, with more and more troops to the south of the Liao State, a large number of soldiers and horses defeated by the Song State and the garrison of the border pass, coupled with the continuous reinforcement of the troops in the rear, from east to west the long border line from Waqiao Pass to Yanmen Pass is strictly guarded, the Song army is like a great enemy, the pass is tightly guarded, pedestrians are eliminated, and birds are difficult to cross.
Moreover, there are no deep mountains and old forests like Longyou in Hexi on this border defense line, and secret spies can climb mountains and mountains and avoid passes in an environment like the northwest in the northwest, and on this front, there are only a few rivers that rely on natural and artificial widening, the barracks along the rivers are continuous, the boats and rafts are all controlled, the bridges and roads are all blocked, and there are soldiers and people along the rivers who constantly patrol at night.
Yang Hao only took into account that the spies of the Song and Liao countries in this situation were extremely difficult to ventilate, which might cause poor information and lagging intelligence, but he did not expect that in that era, there was no ruler who attached as much importance to intelligence work as he did, and he did not hesitate to establish a huge intelligence agency with tentacles all over the world, especially in accordance with the communication conditions at that time, and created a way to use carrier pigeons and other communication tools that were difficult to reach for a regime, which was unprecedented, and only in the Ming Dynasty, The famous Jinyi Wei has appeared, and its intelligence gathering ability is comparable.
At that time, the intelligence work of the Liao and Song countries was not developed, and the Song State only established an Imperial City Division, from its name you can see where its main detection scope is, that is, Zhao Guangyi ate a few losses in the hands of Yang Hao because of information asymmetry, and only began to strengthen the intelligence collection of the Western Front, and the Liao State did even worse in this regard, the Liao State did not have a special spy agency at all, and most of the spies they sent to the Song State were privately entrusted by generals and high-ranking officials, and they had a specific purpose in a certain aspect.
After a long period of operation, they will first have a beautiful and decent identity in the Song State, and the mission they undertake is relatively simple, either to plot against a certain general or official of the Song State, or to use the cover of their identity to secretly transport all kinds of materials urgently needed by the Liao State and even high-end consumer goods used by the powerful, or to gather long-term intelligence information in the military, economic, and political aspects. They do not have the ability to transmit in a timely and fast manner, and they have never carried out training and construction in this area, and the Song State has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the Liao State really does not know about it.
This situation would be difficult to understand in the era when wars were fought first and intelligence warfare was fought in later generations, but it was normal at the time. Zhang Yi cháo rose up, Dunhuang Guiyi army all the way to the east, defeated the eleven states of Hexi, the Tubo Kingdom collapsed, the Guiyi army fought until the vicinity of Xiazhou, at that time in Chang'an, not too far away from them The Tang Dynasty actually knew nothing, until two years later Zhang Yi cháo sent a messenger to Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty was shocked when he heard the news.
There is also the Yu State that worships the Tang Dynasty as the Zhengshuo and regards itself as a vassal of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty has been in exile for more than 50 years, the princes of the Central Plains stand side by side, the dynasties are constantly changing, and people's brains are all beaten into dog brains, they still don't know any news, and still think that the Central Plains is the world of Li Tang, so these two incidents show how closed the flow of information at that time was, how bad the intelligence collection was, and it can also be seen that the countries at that time ignored this aspect, which was really worse than the monarchs of the Qiu Warring States Period.
The Liao State did have eyeliner in the Song State, but these eyeliners were not high-quality spies who had been trained and trained, they only knew how to carry out activities according to the mission delivered before being dispatched, one did not realize how closely the political situation of Bianliang Chanrang had a close relationship with the border pass war situation, and the other was that even if they realized it, they could not pass it to the north in time, and the border pass war was tight, and the small roads that could be used in normal times and the pass guards who had made good friends were all useless at this time. yzuu
Go to sea or go around to the west of Yanmen Pass and return to Liao from the vast and sparsely populated territory of Western Xia? There is no response, the geography is not clear, and the checks on pedestrians in various states and counties are stricter than usual, how easy it is to talk about in such an agricultural society, really wait for them to go back from there, find the person in charge to report the news, and I don't know that it will be the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, so Yelu Hugo still thinks that Zhao Yuanzuo is the emperor, and does not know the earth-shattering changes in the Central Plains.
"In the battle of Gaoliang River, we fell for Yelu Huge's plan, and this is the only plan, and we were defeated. If what I expected is correct, we can also set up a story now, the Northern Dynasty is arrogant, and it can be defeated in a war! In the way of others, give back to others! Yang Hao made a decision.
Yang Jiye thought for a moment and said: "What the official family said is very true, not small...... After all, this is our speculation, this plan must not be used, but it must not be completely relied on, we must always be prepared for both, if it is proved that the Northern Dynasty has long been aware of the movements of our country, and does not fall into the plan, we must immediately change our course and fight a battle in a decent manner. ”
Yang Hao said: "The reason is so ......"
He looked left and right, and said with a light smile: "Okay, just follow this line of thought, how to act, the three of you will agree, General Pan, General Yang, and General Li, I only have one request, be fast, and change later!" ”
Just kidding, there is a Pan Mei and Yang Jiye by his side, plus Li Jilong, the god of war in a small generation, of course, the current Li Jilong has just debuted, and there is not enough experience in the battle formation, any outstanding general, including the Liao side of the limelight, who is more than Yue Yelu Huge, if there is not enough battlefield experience, it may not be as outstanding as them in history, but at least now they have begun to show their glory, with Pan Yang and the second general in charge of the overall situation, I am not afraid that Li Jilong will have any too reckless decisions.
In this case, what tactics do you need to develop he, the emperor, to show his cowardice, if he points fingers everywhere, the courtiers will not be able to refute him, and if he can't get it right, he will become the second Zhao Guangyi. There is a specialization in the art industry, and since there are talents under them, it is better to leave this matter to professionals, if they can't win, it will be for nothing to come forward by themselves. Others are suspicious, and they are not suspicious, but Yang Hao has already made a conclusion about their ability, of course, he wants to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
Pan Mei and Li Jilong didn't know what he wanted, seeing that the official family trusted him so much, he couldn't help but be grateful, how could there be a reason not to play the scorpion and do his best, and soon, a plan of action was steaming out under the planning of the three wise generals.
By this time, scattered snow had fallen outside the tent......
Sporadic snowflakes, such as Feiqiong detritus, early in the morning, Yelu Hugo carefully selected 80,000 iron horsemen from all walks of life crossed the Tang River, lined up outside the city of Dingzhou, and shouted for battle.
In the first few years, the battle of Yinzhou made them from the scene of Zheziyu and Zhe Weizheng waving the army to attack the city, and for the first time they appreciated the great role of the siege equipment of the Han people, and they also learned some siege techniques, but like the siege equipment used by Yang Hao, they could not make it, this time Zhao Guangyi retreated too quickly, and a large number of siege equipment made were lost under the city of Youzhou, and it was too late to destroy. After the Liao army invaded south quickly, and was blocked by the border pass, it suddenly remembered that these siege equipment abandoned by Zhao Guangyi was very useful, and immediately transported it from the rear.
At the beginning, Zhao Guangyi was a quick soldier to the city of Youzhou, taking local materials, while attacking the city to fight reinforcements, while rushing out of these siege equipment at night, now it is not an easy task to transport these huge and assembled siege equipment, now those behemoths are still on the way, but more than 200,000 troops are under the pass, spending countless rice and grain, but you can't just do it and wait, Yelu Xiuge calls the battle every rì pass, never stops. If every time the Song army is called to hang up the battle card, then the morale of the Song army after the new defeat will be even lower, and when the Liao army transports a large number of siege equipment, how much fighting spirit the Song army has left can be imagined. Yelu Hugo believed that Li Jilong was a smart man, and when the army was defeated and even the emperor fled without a trace, Li Jilong could still command the retreat calmly and calmly to minimize the losses, and Yelu Hugo believed that this was a strong enemy, and the strong enemy was about to fight until he had no temper, so that he didn't even have the courage to fight.
And Li Jilong also guessed some of his intentions, not just retreat and defend, often organize some small battles, the tactics adopted are still the Song Army's best formation, the formation against the enemy, it is destined to only defend, not attack, but this kind of defense, at least than retreating in the pass passive defense can improve morale.
Today, the wind is very strong, and the flag is hunting, whistling like thunder. The city of Dingzhou was opened, and the Song army slowly went out of the city, but what was surprising was that the Song army that went out of the city did not set up the usual formation, but slightly cleaned up the team, and then took the initiative to attack the Liao army.
Yelu Hugo, who was lazily sitting in the back, stood up and looked at the opposite side in dismay, only to see that the Song army launched a fierce attack on the Liao army's position with the cavalry team of the Jingsai army as the vanguard, and the main force of nearly 10,000 people in the rear followed closely behind in a conical formation.
"Finally...... Hold back? A faint smile appeared on the corner of Yeluxiu's mouth.
Ahead, arrows rained down, and the Song army's iron horsemen fell off their horses one after another, but no one pulled the reins to dodge, and the commander of the Jingsai army made Tian Min take the lead, so that the big [Mucang] picked up the flying arrows and rushed straight into the enemy formation. Ye @ Zi @ You $ Yoyzuu Liao Army's front was torn open, and the Song Army quickly crashed into it, chopping through the waves and working hard to expand the results.
Yelu Hugo laughed and shouted: "Let the Song army come in, give an order, the leather room army, the Tielin army, outflank the two wings, cut off the enemy's rear road, since they dare to attack, I will leave them all here today." ”
As he spoke, the guards led his black horse, and Yelu Hugo pulled the saddle on the horse, sat down calmly, took off the big [wooden warehouse] from the victory hook, and pointed forward sharply, this [wooden warehouse] crossed thousands of troops and horses, as if directly stabbed on the Song general who rushed to the front of the Song army, and knocked the horse's legs with both legs, and Yelu Xiuge jumped down the gentle slope like a gallop, and killed the front.
Li Jilong was also in the army, and Tian Min led more than 1,000 cavalry to charge forward, tearing the Liao army front, and Li Jilong led more than 10,000 foot soldiers to enter the heart of the Liao army through the opening of the cavalry.
Li Jilong rode his horse and hurried, facing the Khitan iron horsemen who came up like Xiangshui, his eyes were as sharp as eagle falcons, and the tiger guards on the left and right were also roaring, like a tiger out of the cage, shouting and fighting, and the big [wooden warehouse] behind him was like a forest, dense turns, beckoning up piece by piece, and the Liaoguo iron cavalry that pounced on him was like a honeycomb.
Arrows roared in mid-air, and the soldiers of Song Liao fought each other in short combat, returning blood for blood, and the battle was unprecedentedly fierce. The Song army broke into the enemy formation, facing an eightfold enemy, without fear, Yelu Xiuge was surprised and delighted, and the surprise was that Li Jilong didn't know what was stimulated, and actually gave up the formation battle that the Song army was best at, and adopted this kind of desperate fighting, and he was outnumbered. The good news is that his troops are eight times larger than the enemy, as long as this main force is eaten, the remaining remnants of the Song army will not want to hold Dingzhou.
It's not that he didn't think about whether Li Jilong's decision was deceitful, but this thought was just a flash of thought, and he left it behind. On the left of Dingzhou is Tang County, which has fallen into the hands of the Liao army, controlling Jiashan, the only valley here. The right flank of Dingzhou is Qizhou, and Qizhou is still in the hands of the Song army, but Qizhou is still a hundred and ten miles away, and there is a flat river in the middle, not to mention that if the Song army wants to raid, it can be discovered as early as ten miles away, and even if the Song army comes, what can it do? His 80,000 jīng soldiers are all cavalry, the initiative in the war is in his hands, he can fight if he wants to, he can leave when he wants, the Song army leans on a pair of big feet, do you want to follow the horse's butt and eat dirt?
Therefore, in this battle, Yelu Hugo fought unscrupulously.
"Kill!" As soon as Yelu Hugo killed in front of Song Jun, the four-sharp long [Mucang] went to "Z ugly 6 Zhao".! 6 Zhao Xie voice, Yelu Hugo knocked the horse's belly, suddenly added foam, two long [Mucang] pierced the air, the hand shirt glazed the mountain pick, opened the third rod [Mucang], left arm slashed, the fourth rod [Mucang] firmly under the ribs, and then shouted, the iron [Mucang] in his hand when the chest stabbed, the [Mucang] soldier next to the sword and shield hand hurriedly made the shield to meet, but Yelu Hugo was one, this [Mucang] stabbed accurately and ruthlessly, a [Mucang] stabbed on the shield, the sword and shield hand was unstable, and the back turned out, Yelu Hugo in the hand [Mucang] As soon as it was collected and released, blood splattered on the ground, and the [Mucang] soldier fell into the dust.
Li Jilong has a hand [wooden warehouse], a hand knife, stabbing from afar and slashing closely, invincible, suddenly saw a general of the Liao army killed, Li Jilong still did not know that he was the Liao country that has been famous for a long time is greater than Yue Yelu Huge, but from his majestic spirit, the personal soldier attire of the left and right guards, it is known that this person's identity is not bad, Li Jilong did not pause, immediately rushed like an arrow, the flat end of the long [wooden warehouse], clutched the treasure knife, and rushed to kill the god.
Along the way, I don't know how many Liao soldiers I encountered, all of them were picked off his horse by him, or cut in half by splitting his shoulders and hips, and there was almost no enemy, and even his guards and soldiers were left behind.
Li Jilong didn't say a word, rushed to the front of him, and his body was half-up, like a tiger descending from the mountain, and a [wooden warehouse] stabbed at the eyebrows of Yelu Xiuge, and the cold air penetrated into the bones. Brother Yelu Hugh greeted him with [Mucang]: "Open!" ”
"Boom!" With a bang, a [wooden warehouse] was picked open, and at this time, Li Jilong shouted like a thunderbolt before it bloomed in mid-air: "Kill!" ”
The knife in his left hand was like a bolt of lightning, and he slashed down on Yelu Huge's neck, and the bright light of the knife was terrifying, and the half-standing and half-leaping posture and the fierce tiger eyes were particularly terrifying. Yelu Hugo didn't have time to go back to the [Mucang] to pick the thorns, his legs clamped the horse's legs, his body leaned out to the side, and he slammed the spine of the knife with the [Mucang] tail, and narrowly opened Li Jilong's knife, the sharp blade slashed down against his shoulder, cutting off the shoulder guard, and a piece of flesh was shaved off the shoulder, and blood was dripping down.
The two horses are wrong stirrups, Yelu Xiuge endured the pain and hung the [wooden warehouse], quickly picked up the bow in his hand, a feather arrow was put on the string, a rhinoceros looking at the moon, the bowstring was full, looking back is an arrow, straight to Li Jilong's back heart, Li Jilong also paid attention to the movement behind him, Yelu Xiuge can move, Li Jilong will take the reins in time, jump forward on the horse, Yelu Hugo an arrow sticking to Li Jilong's stumbling armor silk and fly over, Li Jilong has completed the action of turning the horse back and facing the enemy head-on.
Brother Yelu Xiu snorted and shouted: "A certain Liao country is greater than Brother Yelu Xiu, who will be the Song general, report your name!" ”
"A certain prince Shaobao, the guard Ma Jun Du Yuhou, and the Dingzhou guard Li Jilong."
Yelu Xiuge's eyes lit up: "It turned out to be you, General Li abandoned the danger and attacked, could it be that he was already poor in donkey skills?" ”
Li Jilong said: "General Yelu Youzhou became famous in the first battle, only saw his wisdom, but did not know his bravery, Li is trying to learn today!" ”
Yelu Xiuge sneered, the two generals fought together again, the main force of the Liao army surrounded the Song army in zhōngyāng, and it was even more dark, the battle was about half an hour, the suspension bridge of Dingzhou City was put down again, the city gate rumbled open, and a team of iron horsemen swarmed out, Yelu Xiuge saw it in his busy schedule, and couldn't help but be surprised.
If the Song army has reinforcements, he does not scruples, at the moment his men and horses are far above Li Jilong's troops, and he is a cavalry, even if the Song forbidden army is reinforced in large numbers, it is also a foot pawn, it is a big deal to give up the plan to eat Li Jilong's troops, he can retreat calmly at any time, but now...... Rushing out of the city are cavalry, a team of bright armor, the knife [Mucang] shiny, a steady stream of rushing out of the city, the soldiers are divided into two wings, outflanking the Liao army that surrounds Li Jilong, the front zinc is a big chess, fluttering in the wind, hunting sounds, on the book a "Tong" word, the cavalry behind is still endless, I don't know how many Song troops are down.
Where did the Song State get so many cavalry? How can it be!
Jeruhugo could hardly believe his eyes, but the deafening shouts of slaughter and the endless cavalry ...... What he saw in his eyes and heard in his ears, this was clearly not a dream, and Yelu Huge's face changed, and he immediately had the idea of retreating.
At this moment, there was another shout on the right side, galloping from the direction of Qizhou, rushing to the army, this road of soldiers and horses is also cavalry, what is especially frightening is that the cavalry that has just been killed in Dingzhou City is dressed very similarly to the Liao army, and it is also a left Hu suit, leather coat and hat, and this road of soldiers and horses killed from the direction of Qizhou is a sè black helmet and black armor, a pole and a staff in the palm of the eight-foot long big [Mucang], [Mucang] The pole is black and dark, and the [Mucang] blade is extremely sharp, such a neat and uniform team, That momentum alone was enough to terrify the enemy.
"Woo......"
The poignant and long horn sounded, the galloping horse captain spear was raised obliquely, and a forest of [Mucang] spears immediately stood up in the sky, there were no military drums, and the sound of horses' hooves that shook the earth was a rumbling war drum, and the morale of Li Jilong's troops, who were surrounded by the Liao army in zhōngyāng, shouted one after another: "Reinforcements have arrived, don't let go of a Liao person!" ”
From the inside out, from the outside to the inside, the momentum of the Song army is like a rainbow, the dragon is fierce and the tiger is fierce, and the Liao State Iron Cavalry in a daze is in chaos!
The Liao army was defeated, just as Zhao Guangyi, who thought that victory was in sight, was carelessly defeated at the Gaoliang River, and Yelu Hugo was also defeated at the Xiaotang River.
The Liao army was forced to retreat north, along the bridge built on the Xiaotang River, desperately resisted in the rear, suppressed the fierce offensive of the Song army, and covered the brigade to cross the river.
Soap silk cotton shawl, white silk socks and trousers, purple turban, blue and yellow arms, feet wearing bast shoes, is the Song army accustomed to the big array, a general at the eye of the array, helmet and armor, majestic, a big flag behind him, a big "Pan" character written on it, it is Pan Mei Pan Zhongxun.
"The left army advances!"
"Boom!"
A general, the soldiers moved silently, the sound of neatly scraping a piece, converging into a blast-like explosion, the forbidden army foot soldiers of the brush brushed forward with a steady and powerful pace, the first row of large [wooden warehouse] flat end, the second row of long [wooden warehouse] oblique stab, and then countless rows of large [wooden warehouse] straight to the sky, in the uniform "boom" sound step by step approaching, like a copper wall.
"The right army advances!"
"Drink!"
Two walls of soldiers and long wooden barns squeezed into the middle.
"Archer, shè strike!"
"Buzz!" A frightened voice sounded, and behind the [Mucang] array, countless feathered arrows rose into the air, crossed the [Mucang] soldiers in front, and fell towards the soldiers and horses of the Liao army.
The sound of orders and steps alternated like thunder, and the Liao army had suffered the loss of the Song army's large array under Youzhou City, but since then, the Song army has never placed such a huge array.
"Rush over, the Tielin Army breaks the formation!"
Yelu Hinde, the general of the Liao State who has led his troops to cross the river, shouted, since the leader of the Tielin Army of the Liao State, Li Zalu Cuntou, "Z Chou 6 Zhao" knife and people Zhao Hu Chai point, Yelu Tracer has become the leader of the Tielin Army, a Tielin Army has walked through the southern cavalry of the country, and the historical Xixia Iron Harrier, Jin State Tiefutu, is the most well-equipped army in armor, if you want to open a bloody road from this copper wall and iron wall, it is only possible to fight the Tielin Army.
The Tielin army quickly humbled to the front, just like Li Jilong's Jingsai army assaulting the Liao army's main formation, rushing forward without fear of death, Yelu Jinde personally led the team, he must tear a hole in the Song army's large array, otherwise this half-crossing of the people and horses, will have to be all explained here, although there are many people in the Liao State, but these 80,000 jīng soldiers are the most sharp people in the Liao State.
Seeing the Liao Army Tielin Army roaring towards their own formation, the old general Pan Mei twisted his beard on the horse and smiled, not in a hurry, when they rushed to within three hundred steps, the Song army in front of them shouted in unison, the Xixia Yipin bow was flat, and the machine sounded "sonorous", and countless crossbow arrows rushed over with the sound of the sassy wind, like cutting wheat, and put down countless soldiers of the Liao Tielin Army with a brush.
Jerucind hid in a stirrup, flashing fast enough, but he was also hit by a blow in the shoulder, deep into the bone, and the pain was unbearable. This round of strong arrows passed, and finally narrowed the distance of more than 100 steps, and the Song army camp roared again, countless bowstrings creaked, and the rain of arrows came from the sky with the wind, fast and ruthless. Jerucind hurriedly took a small shield to cover the vital points around his body, and his horse had already been hit by a few crossbow arrows, and then he was hit by a few sharp arrows in his head and chest, and finally he was not supported, and he hissed and fell to the ground.
Yelu Hinde rolled on a lazy donkey, almost broke his leg by a horse, looked back in a hurry, this moment of effort, no less than 2,000 Liao athletes who were down, couldn't help but look red, he pulled out the crossbow arrow that went deep into the flesh and bones, turned over and jumped on an ownerless war horse, and roared: "Attack the Song army's main formation!" ”
"Oh woo...... Oh woo ......" The Liao army screamed, slammed the horse's belly, and began to rush at a sprint speed, rushing towards the Song army's main formation, as long as they broke the front formation, they could tear open the mouth of the Song army's large formation, and break a way out for the 80,000 most sharp Liao army iron cavalry.
Pan Mei saw the Liao army rushing like a wolf, stretched out his hand and brushed his hair, turned his horse and left, and the left and right pro-troops escorted him away, those crossbowmen and archers also scattered in a hurry, fleeing to the left and right, where did the Liao army iron cavalry care where they went, just all the way forward, they also expected that there must be a dense [Mucang] array in front of them, I am afraid that they will have to pay the loss of hundreds of men and horses, to hit the [Mucang] forest, there is a glimmer of hope to break through the defense of the Song army, but they never thought that when those archers and crossbowmen dispersed, Behind them was a very strange team.
The average height of each person was a lot taller than that of ordinary people, and their bodies were already burly, and each of them wore plate armor that looked extremely thick and strong, and when they stood there, the layers were like walls made of rock. Then, a strange-shaped blade with a handle five feet long and a blade four feet long, and two blades with pointed tips on both sides, was lifted in unison.
"What is this?"
Jerucind was a little surprised, and then the long [wooden barn] in his hand struck the cuirass of a strange sword soldier with a sonorous sound, and with a tooth-aching stabbing sound, the sharp [wooden barn] tip hit a mark on the cuirass, and then slid along the smooth plate armor to the side, and then, Jeruchende saw a huge horse's head split in half. Jerucind was taken aback: "What kind of knife is this, it is so powerful, how sharp and heavy is this?" ”
He only had time to think of this question, and before he could get an answer, several sharp Mo knives brushed across his body, splitting him into pieces of flesh and blood.
"Brush, brush, brush!"
The bright and swaying Mo knife is like a wall, one after another, like a huge rice harvester, stuffing people and horses into it, and throwing out the blood of minced meat mixed together, the wide and sharp Mo knife brings deterrence to the enemy is far from being comparable to the narrow [Mucang] head spearhead, and the attack method is not just a chop, it can stab, it can be cut, of course, the most commonly used is chopping and chopping.
Although this team of Modao has a stronger protection effect than the traditional Modao soldiers, so that the Modao team has various restrictions on their movements, they are invincible in this kind of narrow area where the enemy army has been suppressed by the [Kikura] soldiers and archers on the left and right flanks.
The Liao army is like a snow lion in a fire, and it is crushed under the attack of this kind of sharp weapon that specializes in restraining cavalry, Yelu Xiuge hated it and was careless for a while, how did he know that the Song army appeared out of thin air with so many cavalry, and such an invincible sword formation? The road back to the north was broken, and in desperation, Yelu Hugo had to lead the rest of his troops to open a bloody road and flee to the west in panic.
Tang County in the west is now in their hands, and it has always been Yelu Huge, who has been pressing the Song army to fight, forcing the Song army to hold on to Qiguan, and at this time can only choose to use the city wall of Tang County to resist the Song soldiers, and then plan later.
The remnants of the defeated general Cangcang panicked and went straight to the west, Kankan rushed to the Jiashan Pass, and saw the flag fluttering in front, there was already a team waiting there quietly, a big flag on the left, raising a "Li" word, but this Li is not the other Li, this is the banner of the Western Xia general Li Huating, but not the Dingzhou guard Li Jilong. On the right, there is a big flag, and its veteran has blood-red eyes, glaring viciously at the embarrassed Liao army, this person is Liu Tingrang, the founding veteran of the Song State who fled back after the destruction of the entire army in the first battle of Junziguan.
The soldiers and horses on the left and right flanks belonged to who Yelu Hugo didn't have time to pay attention to, and his eyes were directly focused on the square cavalry phalanx in the middle. Qing Yisè's big eating horse, tall and majestic, is one head taller than the war horses of the Liao State on average. The knight on the horse was all dressed in armor with the war horse under his crotch, and the knight on the horse was covered in the armor in front of his head, looking like a terrifying beast.
Like the abyss stopping, like the mountain standing, an invisible pressure rushed to the face.
Dangerous!
A hint of jǐng consciousness quietly rose in the heart of Brother Hugh.
"Tom! Tom! ”
The war drums sounded, and the veteran Liu Tingrang waved the [Mucang] front finger, and as soon as he hissed, those knights who were all wearing heavy armor all picked up the big [Mucang] and rode forward.
