Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The sky is blue, the grass is green, and this is a good battlefield.
Zhai Zhe's body was all buried in the armor, and his gauntlet stood in the middle of the team with a spear in his hand. He still remembers the nervousness of the first time he charged with the cavalry, no one in this world is born with anything, and he will not be soft on killing people after many experiences, especially on the battlefield.
Xiao Zhiyan's cavalry in his field of vision was getting closer and closer to him, and the pursuing Jurchens were like wolves clenching and not letting go.
Xiao Zhiyan's figure enlarged in his pupils, passing from left to right, and the Jurchens were close at hand.
Zhai Zhe shouted: "Attack!" ”
The trumpet sounded, and the tone was impassioned.
More than 3,000 cavalrymen urged the horses under their crotches, the sound of hooves followed the rhythm of the horns, and the neat queue accelerated.
"Rush!"
Zhai Zhe bowed down on the horse's back, the spear was flat on the horse's back, and the Jurchens' panicked queue was a hundred paces away.
The sudden ambush caught the thousand Jurchens off guard, and some stopped in the panic, while others were still moving forward.
Fortunately, the neat cavalry queue of the Han cavalry was not as free and high as the light cavalry, leaving enough time for the Jurchens to react, and the battle-hardened lieutenant shouted: "Stop the pursuit and turn right." "Anyone can see that the hussars before him were just bait, and that he had been ambushed.
The spears were as dense as a forest, and the sharp tips of the spears were pointed straight ahead.
"Sprint!"
The sound of the trumpet soared into the sky.
Bao Guang was stationed at the front of the horse, and he was the commander of the cavalry for the attack.
The two columns of cavalry in the front row broke away from the brigade, the degree of the war horses gradually increased to the extreme, the formation was slightly distorted, and the gauntlets of the cavalry held their spears and crashed into the Jurchens.
"Wow!"
The neat tip of the spear pierced the oncoming foe with the whistling sound of the wind.
Whether it is a horse or a man, the tip of the gun is broken, and the body of the gun goes straight through. War Horse Jia brought great inertia, and no matter how fast the Jurchens were, they could not block the spear, and the only thing they could do was to move their bodies to avoid the puncture of the tip of the spear, and then think about finding an opportunity to return fire.
The lancers did not need to look for opponents in their charges, kept a fixed distance between the tips of their spears, and most spears penetrated directly into the horse.
The neighing of the collision erupted, and a large number of horses were wounded and jumped wildly, and the knights on the horses were thrown off their horses, and their neat iron hooves trampled past. The Jurchens who fell to the ground struggled to protect themselves, and the loss of their horses in the melee cavalry was comparable to cutting off their arms.
The iron hooves raised by the war horse slammed, and the soldiers fell to the ground with a miserable cry, and the iron hooves trampled indiscriminately, and the soldiers' chests and abdomen showed holes the size of bowls, and blood gushed out like a spring of blood.
At the last moment of the sprint, even with the gauntlets, the Han cavalry could not withstand the friction caused by the impact, and when their arms could not hold it, they let go of their hands and let the spear remain in the horse's body, pulled out the long knife from behind, and slashed at close range.
At the moment of the fierce collision, the anxious cavalry queue came to a sudden halt, and the lancers swung their swords and slashed at the chaotic opponent.
Bao Guang's spear pierced like a chicken pecking rice, and when he heard the melody of the horn behind him, he immediately lifted the reins of his horse and erected his front hooves.
"Withdraw!"
He stabbed a shot and forced the Jurchens in front of him back, turned his horse's head and led the cavalry back along the route of the sprint.
The retreating cavalry automatically divided into two sections during the run, and divided into the left and right flanks of the main cavalry that was walking low in front of them.
More than 2,000 cavalry in front of him marched forward in small steps unhurriedly, and the spears in their hands pointed straight at the sky, like a dense forest. The Jurchens pursued slightly, and the deputy general reined in his war horse to return vigilantly, and the oncoming cavalry actually made him feel a sense of fear.
"Rush!"
Zhai Zhe patted the back of the big black horse, he had been with it for several years, and he had already had a heart-to-heart relationship.
The pace of the central cavalry increased, and the sprint horn \u

58FO sounded again, Zuo Ruo and Meng Kang were on the left and right flanks respectively.
"Da!"
"Dada!"
"Da Da Da!"
The frequency of the iron hooves became faster and faster, and the soldiers at the forefront of the line had their hearts bulging and their eyes glaring angrily, they were the bravest soldiers in the army.
"Kill!"
In the furious shouting, a thousand Jurchen people were rammed into a ball by the three-way cavalry, and Bao Guang, who had just retreated to the left and right flanks, turned around and clinged to Zuo Ruo and Meng Kang to surround the rear of the Jurchens.
The soldiers in the front line of hand-to-hand combat immediately dropped their insensitive spears and removed their improvised shields and swords from their horses to defend against the enemy, while the cavalry in the rear provided support with spears. The queue of Han cavalry was unusually tight, and there was no room between the horses, even if there were ghostly spears piercing in that gap.
The Jurchens huddled together, as uncomfortable as drowning and unable to breathe, but they were not flustered.
The forward battalion of Okan were all veterans of a hundred battles, wielding swords and shields and trying to break out of the encirclement, but they were huddled together and could not force in one direction. Surrounded by weapons, the Han people were despicable and abnormal, and when they could not attack the soldiers, they would pierce a spear into the war horse, and falling from the horse in such a dense chaotic army was almost equivalent to death.
The adjutant general tried to stay awake, and after observing the shape for a moment, he shouted: "To the north!" Break through to the north. ”
The men and horses in the north are the most scarce in the encirclement, and more importantly, the people and horses of Okan are in the north, and they must be rushing over here.
The Jurchens, who had received the unified order, burst out with powerful combat effectiveness, slashing with knives and axes, and creating opportunities to engage in close combat with the Han cavalry.
"Plug them!"
Bao Guang was slashed in the shoulder, and half of his body was stained red with blood, and the Han cavalry suffered heavy casualties in hand-to-hand combat.
The Han cavalry in the north could not stop the pace of the Jurchens, and a crack appeared in the encirclement.
Zuo Ruo and Meng Kang bit on both flanks, not letting them get out, and Zhai Zhe commanded the cavalry to chase and kill.
More than twenty miles away.
It wasn't until he heard the horn of the Han cavalry that he saw the shape here, and he never expected that the Tumuts would be so bold as to ambush them here.
\u3o

In a hurry, he abandoned Geriltu and ordered: "Turn around and rescue them!" ”
The Jurchens no longer pursued the Tumuts and rushed to the battlefield twenty miles away with all their might.
The light cavalry, which had been loosely formed, came forward, it was Xiao Zhiyan's men and horses, and they had been waiting since they lured the pursuing Jurchens into the encirclement.
The horse thief with high riding skills was bold, and under the command of Xiao Zhiyan, he sprinted, approached dozens of steps to the left side of the Jurchens, and shot the opponent accurately with the bow and arrow in his hand.
Okan was caught off guard, and dozens of cavalrymen who galloped with all their strength fell off their horses.
After Xiao Zhiyan shot an arrow, he ordered the cavalry to quickly withdraw from the Jurchen bow and arrow shooting distance, and the cavalry moved forward and backward like a red rabbit, which was as common as eating for the light cavalry under his command, and it was the best horse thief in Xikou.
The light ride is as annoying as a fly, driving it away, going back and forth, and each time it is interspersed, it can hang a piece of meat down the Jurchens.
Ekan was furious, and saw that the lieutenant general in the distance would be drowned under the strangulation of the superior cavalry, and he had no intention of entanglement.
"Rush over and leave them alone!"
He was willing to suffer some losses to rescue his comrades, regardless of the light cavalry harassment, and led his troops straight to the Meng Kang department on the right flank of the encirclement.
The Jurchens in the encirclement were surrounded by spears, unable to distinguish between the east and west, and the few soldiers who had lost their horses relied on each other to defend in the encirclement. A thousand cavalry was menacing, and Meng Kang had to lead his troops to turn around and block the attack.
This is Baturu with a white flag!
Okan opened his teeth and danced his claws, and with the swing of his big sword, he killed several people in a row, and was unstoppable, scattering the oncoming cavalry, and rushing straight towards the Chinese army Meng Kang himself.
The broadsword slashed down, hitting the shield that Meng Kang was blocking.
In the sharp sound of metal clashing, Meng Kang only felt that his left arm was sore, half of his body seemed to be torn apart, and the axe that was originally ready to fight back in his right hand was slow and could not be wielded.
Ekanlian slashed several times, and Meng Kang's war horse retreated and got out of the way
Ekan opened his big mouth and shouted in the direction of the lieutenant general: "Don't panic, I'm here to save you!" Immediately left Meng Kang and rushed to the Jurchens in the encirclement.
No one can stop the convergence of the Jurchens.
The arrival of Okan not only made the Jurchens one, but also added infinite confidence to them.
Dolgon's forward battalion, which had always been invincible and invincible under the command of Baturu Okan, how could it be folded in the hands of the Han Chinese here? But this time, they didn't wear heavy armor in order to move quickly, so they couldn't block the impact of the spear, so they suffered more casualties under the harassment of Xiao Zhiyan's bow and arrows.
Three miles outside the battlefield, three hundred heavy cavalry did not move in the rear column of the two sides of the fierce battle, the iron armor glowed red in the sunset, Lei Yanqian restrained the restless war horse, he was Zhai Zhe's last reserve, and he was also the trump card of the Han cavalry.
