The Sui army in the east had an advantage of more than 20,000 cavalry against the 10,000 cavalry of the Liao, which could be said to be a completely one-sided battle, especially the cavalry of the heavy cavalry brigade went all the way forward, just staring at the general banner of Yuangai copper.

For Guo Xiaoke and his heavy cavalry brigade, since they have lost half of the flag, they will continue to seize the general flag of the Liao people now, and if they take more, the general will definitely return that half of the brigade flag to them at that time.

On the battlefield to the west, Mao Yi was the commander, leading 14,000 infantry battalions of 27 infantry battalions of the 1st, 2nd, and 63rd Divisions, while the Liao people were in the vanguard of 5,000 cavalry. The Sui army rode on foot, three to one.

Mao Yi has always been different from generals such as Lu Shishen, Shen Guang, and Hu Hai in battle, with a little less courage and indomitability, but a little more calm. It is very similar to Liu Tiezhu and Li Benlei's way of using soldiers.

Facing the 5,000 Liao cavalry, Mao Yi did not rush and fight as soon as he came, but directly blocked the passage for the Liao people to advance. Then lined up a neat infantry phalanx, Erfeng seven battalions, and he lined up twenty-seven arrays, pulling the front and back of the troops very deep and wide.

The first column of shield soldiers, the second column of spearmen, and the third column of archers and crossbowmen in the large array, and so on, stretched more than 10,000 people into a long line of deep skirmishers. Mao Yi is very aware of the situation of these infantry under his leadership, basically there are nine recruits out of ten soldiers, and it is unrealistic for them to directly fight the Liao cavalry head-on. It's yourself who collapses 100% first, and if you can't fight hard, then grind.

No matter how fierce the Liao cavalry was, it was impossible to surpass the heavy cavalry of the Sui army. On the current battlefield, the entire Liao army is divided into three parts, and the rear army has more than 10,000 Liao people, but it also has to face more than 20,000 elite Sui cavalry. You don't have to think about it, you can know that this place must be the first to be defeated by the Sui army.

And the number of Liao soldiers and horses in the middle road surprised all the Sui troops on the battlefield.

At a glance, these veterans have seen at least 50,000 people. This surprised them, who originally judged that the Liao people could only dispatch more than 20,000 soldiers and horses this time.

The sum of the before and after, the Liao people's soldiers and horses are 70,000 or 80,000, and the Sui army poured out this time, all the soldiers and horses are only 70,000, and the remaining 30,000 are all people. Just these 70,000 people, they are basically new soldiers, and they have just seen blood.

It's just that the arrow is already on the string and has to be sent. The more soldiers and horses the Liao people had, the greater the threat to them in the future. There is no need for such good ambush conditions at the moment, and when they reach Liaodong Chengyuan in the future, it will be too late. After gritting his teeth, Chen Kefu still gave the order for an ambush. Because he still didn't believe in his heart that the Liao people really had so many soldiers and horses, after all, all aspects showed that the soldiers and horses in the three cities of Buyeo were only about 30,000 people.

Fortunately, just a burst of catapults and crossbows Chuáng attacks have already tested the strength of the front, middle and rear armies of the Liao army. The front army and the rear army are all elite troops, but the Chinese army is uneven, and it has been seen that the real soldiers and horses are only more than 10,000 people in a round of attacks, and the rest should be the same as the 30,000 people they bring.

The Liao soldiers and horses were divided into three routes, while the Sui army soldiers and horses were divided into five routes, and the most elite cavalry attacked the army and cut off its way back. The strongest infantry army attacked the middle army, but the ordinary infantry attacked the cavalry of the front army.

The engineer battalion and Minzhuang manipulated trebuchets and crossbows on both sides of the mountain to assist in attacking the Liao array, and Chen Kefu personally led 20,000 people as the final general reserve.

According to the current situation, the cavalry of the Sui army of the rear army can be the first to make meritorious contributions and defeat the rear army of the Liao people in one fell swoop.

Immediately afterwards, it can continue to attack the Chinese army, and there is the strongest heavy infantry brigade in the middle, which can completely contain the Liao Chinese army. As long as you hold on to the addition of the cavalry, the middle will definitely break sooner or later.

As for the front army, Mao Yi made a countermeasure after observing the entire battlefield situation, that is, delaying, dragging the 5,000 elite Liao army of the front army, and waiting for the rear army to break, whether it is to send troops from the reserve to join the attack on the front army, or drag it to the middle to decide the victory, it will be better than using more than 10,000 infantry recruits to meet the 5,000 elite cavalry.

The array of twenty-seven roads, no matter how strong the cavalry is, it depends on their impact power. And after Mao Yi divided the cavalry into twenty-three lines of defense, it would be difficult for the Liao cavalry to rush and crush.

They could only break through the Sui army's infantry line one by one, but they could not drive the defeated troops back to their own array as before.

After receiving the order of his eldest brother Yuan Taidi, the former commander of the Liao army, Yuan Jingtu, wanted to return to the army.

Move closer to the army. It's a pity that Mao Yi didn't give him this opportunity, and stuck it behind them like kraft candy. ,

Yuan Pure Land also felt the difficulty of the Sui generals on the opposite side, if he turned around and retreated like this, the Sui army would definitely pounce at that time, and if he accidentally retreated, it would become a rout. After all, if the enemy's infantry is put on it, the cavalry that has lost its speed and impact will not be much stronger than the infantry.

In desperation, Yuan Pure Land ordered that the infantry of the Sui army of the former army should be fought first, as long as they were defeated, it was feasible to continue to open up the advance channel, or take the opportunity to retreat and move closer to the army.

As soon as the Yuan Pure Land turned the horse's head, Mao Yi had already ordered the twenty-seven infantry defense lines to be redeployed.

The cavalry of the Yuan tribe has always been the elite tribe of the northeast, and they have fought with various tribes such as Khitan, Shoeju, and Turkic in the past, and they have won more than they lost. As soon as they received the order to charge, the five thousand knights turned their horses' heads one after another, held their spears, first drove their horses slowly, then trotted lightly, and finally continued to accelerate, and finally the whole cavalry was like a sharp arrow out of the string, and soon rushed to the front of the Sui army.

Just as he thought, the infantry of the Sui army could not block the blow of their elite at all. It was like a sharp arrow passing through a plank, although the first line of defense of the Sui army was very wide. But the Liao army gently pierced a big hole in it. With lightning speed, he easily broke through the defense line of the Sui army and roared through.

The third, second, third, fourth, and fifth horses were still galloping, and the iron hooves continued to roar. The knights of the Pure Land of the Abyss continued to penetrate the infantry defense line of the Sui army with great momentum, as they had begun. However, after rushing for a long time, he speculated that his men and horses had penetrated at least ten miles, but in front of them there were still complete Sui infantry defense lines. I don't see the slightest wavering of those Sui soldiers, the slightest sign of collapse.

Although they pierced through the array all the way, it was not without a price. Every time he penetrated a Sui array, dozens or even hundreds of his cavalry would be stabbed off their horses by the Sui army's spears.

The open guns are easy to dodge, but the hidden arrows are difficult to defend, and the spears stabbed by the Sui infantry along the way, they can always easily block the horizontal knives. However, those Sui infantry seemed to be the first to be equipped with longbowmen's crossbows, and the crossbow arrows that seemed to be free of money were always shot as if they were not used up. His knights were all wearing leather armor, and they couldn't stop the Sui people's crossbow arrows at all, as long as they hit, the light ones would bleed, and the heavy ones fell directly off their horses.

And what made him even more chilling was that on the mountainsides on both sides, those Sui people's catapults and crossbows have never stopped. The knights around him did not fall in front of the Sui infantry facing them head-on, but most of them fell under the stone bullets and crossbow arrows fired from the mountains on both sides.

, "Marshal, General Mao Yi in the west doesn't seem to be able to stop the cavalry of the Liao, every time it is defeated by one blow, if it weren't for the support of the brothers of the engineer battalion, it is estimated that the Liao people would have broken through the last line of defense." Marshal, let me lead a team of men and horses to support Master Mao! ”

On the North Ridge, Zhang Jindao, the commander of the Guards Company beside Chen Kefu.

Chen Kefu smiled, "Your kid is still a little bit hot, you just saw Mao Yi constantly retreating, but let me ask you, do you know very well that those Liao cavalry have broken through their first array?" ”

Zhang Jin thought for a while, "It seems that there are forty or fifty ways, anyway, the first time it was all penetrated by Liao Qi." General Mao dispersed his forces like this, it is better to concentrate his forces to resist, or how can he stop it.

, "Well, forty or fifty, then do you remember how many infantry arrays Mao Yi put in total at the beginning?" ”

"It seems to be thirty or forty, I don't remember clearly, it seems like a lot."

Chen Kefu said to the captain of the pro-soldiers, "Mao Yi rode on foot, and at the beginning, he used more than 14,000 soldiers and horses, with a battalion of men and horses as an infantry defense array, and a total of 27 arrays were placed. And now, the Liao people have broken through his array of forty-three infantry lines. But you see, there are still eighteen of their infantry arrays, and behind their infantry lines, the infantry who had previously penetrated the lines are constantly regrouping, detouring from the flanks to rearranging the array lines. Don't you see the mystery here? ”

Zhang Jin thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't understand!" ”

"It's very simple, General Mao Yi is constantly consuming the impact of the cavalry with the infantry array defense line, and he is also constantly killing their cavalry. does not use new recruits to block the cavalry of the Liao, but in this way, Mao Yi is indeed mature. This is the excellent performance of a general, as long as the impact of the Liao people stops, and the cavalry that has lost its impact power, do you think they still have much chance of winning with one against three? ”

"Since you also want to go down and have a good time, I won't stop you, you take 5,000 men and horses down to obey the command of General Mao Yi, strengthen the depth of their defense line, and exhaust the 5,000 Liao cavalry alive." ”

The front and rear armies of the east, west, and Liao people have been sentenced to death by Chen Kefu, and the current big Guan Jian is still the Chinese army of Yuan Taidi, although there are only more than 10,000 elite soldiers and horses, but there are still nearly 50,000 people. The recruits of the Sui army are actually about the same strength as these Liao people, and now it depends on the command ability of each commander.
