Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Time, back two days ago.

Night.

On the south bank of Huangshui, corpses all over the ground!

It turned out to be Xue Fu.

Xue Fu's face was tired.

Just as Shi Jin and Tiance fell into a financial crisis after the Battle of Guanzhong, and the Khitan's manpower and material resources were also stretched, in the face of Tiance's double-sided offensive, Yelu Deguang could only focus on defense, in addition to arranging capable personnel in the northeast to suppress the possible rebellion of Nuzhi and Bohai, he concentrated the troops in Shangjing, and the containment forces were distributed in Youzhou, Yunzhou and the south bank of Huangshui. In addition, the vast area inevitably fell into a state of emptiness, Xue Fu led three thousand horses, three people and one horse, took turns to transfer, after crossing the Mandarin Duck Park to the Dog Park, and then advanced into Yangcheng Lake - this is the upper reaches of the Luan River, the Luan River makes a bend here, will first flow north for 200 miles, then to the east, and then to the south.

Xue Fu let the tired soldiers rest during the period, let some of the soldiers and horses drive the local herdsmen to pull out the wood of the Yangchengbo pasture, tie the wood into a raft, a day later down the river, in the Luanhe River bend and land to the south, bypassing a certain population of Songshan Prefecture, rushed to Huangshui, under the leadership of the guide, more than hundreds of miles almost like entering the realm of no one, the whole city is almost straight, the fast horse transmission of Youzhou, can not catch up with the degree of his attack.

When they arrived near Huangshui, more than half of the nine thousand war horses were abandoned due to excessive fatigue.

And Youzhou got the news that Xue Fu arrived at Mandarin Duck Bo was a day late, and the fast horse sent a letter out of the customs overnight, and it was necessary to go northeast to Miyun, out of the old site of the Great Wall, and walk more than 100 miles to Bei'anzhou in the middle reaches of the Luan River, cross the Luan River, go east for 150 miles to Shenzhou, then 200 miles to Yuzhou, turn north for more than 100 miles, arrive at Zhongjing Dading Mansion in Liao, and then enter Songshan Prefecture through Enzhou. Then head north from Songshan Prefecture to Huangshui. There are states and counties along this road, but the route is half longer than that taken by Xue Fu.

Maybe it's heaven forbid. Perhaps because of the guide's ability, Xue Fu had no accidents along the way, and when he approached the south bank of Huangshui, just as everyone was about to take a breath, a little fire came from the southeast direction, approaching the south bank of Huangshui.

No one knows what it is. But Xue Fu counted the time, and guessed that it was the messenger, so he ignored the fatigue of the soldiers, organized a thousand elites who still had the ability to move, let the other horses rest on the spot, and led a thousand horsemen to follow the light of the fire in the dark, and rushed into the defenseless military camp - the camp on the south bank of Huangshui has been guarding against attacks from the north bank these days, and put all his energy on dealing with Ding Han Mountain, and was unwary of the south. I didn't have the strength to take care of it, and I was caught off guard by Xue Fu this time!

After dawn, looking at the corpses of the battalion, the surviving 800 sweat and blood cavalry were all afraid, and it was also thanks to Xue Fu's accurate judgment that he followed the messenger to carry out a surprise attack, otherwise the company camp on the south bank of Huangshui would be hundreds of miles long. Xue Fu didn't know where to start even if he wanted to attack!

The Sweat and Blood Cavalry Regiment was extremely tired by now, but when the follow-up soldiers and horses who had not participated in the night attack last night arrived. Xue Fu ordered to cross the river!

The north shore of Huangshui is clear, but the south bank is equipped with boats and rafts. When Ding Hanshan saw an army crossing the river, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Could it be that the Khitan is ready to defend and attack?"

Then someone exclaimed, pointing to a ship at the head and shouting, "Look! See! What is that! ”

Ding Hanshan moved the clairvoyant mirror, almost unable to believe his eyes!

"That's ......"

Standing on the ship was a red satin blood spear!

"Red Satin Blood Spear! The sweaty cavalry is coming! ”

The entire north shore of Huangshui instantly boiled!

What happened to the Khitan soldiers on the south bank. Leave it to death at this time!

The Khan Cavalry Regiment is coming!

Reinforcements from my hometown are coming!

That's all that matters!

The entire survey camp roared to the sky, and Ding Hanshan greeted him excitedly, but after receiving Xue Fu, his first words were: "How did you fight in Beijing?" ”

Ding Hanshan was stunned and immediately replied: "We can't wait for news from the south. The Grand Governor has decided to go to war tomorrow! ”

Xue Fu was taken aback, and Ding Hanshan said: "I'll report to the main camp quickly!" ”

"How long does it take to get from here to outside the capital?"

"It can be reached in a day and a night on a fast horse. If you hurry up, the Metropolitan Governor will be able to ...... at noon tomorrow."

"That's too late!" Xue Fu interrupted him and said, "It's better not to report the change!" That would mess up the hearts of the Grand Duke! ”

Ding Hanshan said: "What should I do then?" ”

Xue Fu only pondered for a moment, and then said, "From now on, I will take over all the military power south of Shangjing!" ”

Ding Hanshan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Yes!" ”

Xue Fu ordered again: "The 1,800 sweat and blood cavalry regiments that can still move, all change horses!" With the Sixth Mansion of the Kan Battalion and the Longxiang Iron Armored Army, they went directly to the north, and the other northern desert tribes all accompanied them, without notifying the Metropolitan Governor, and went directly to the battlefield in Shangjing! ”

By this time his team was already tired. In the era of infantry, if you fight for profit for fifty miles, you will jump to the general!

If you change the cavalry, this distance will not be more than three hundred miles! Therefore, at the beginning, Cao Cao pursued Liu Bei, rode lightly for 300 miles in one day and one night, and then entered the comment that Zhuge Liang said to Sun Quan: The end of the strong crossbow cannot wear Lu Min!

The cavalry of the post-Tang Dynasty did not have an obvious technological leap compared to the Three Kingdoms era in this regard, Ding Hanshan looked at Xue Fu's men and horses, and couldn't help but want to admonish, but Xue Fu still decisively ordered: change horses!

The war horses he brought with him were killed or injured after crossing the river, and they were abandoned seventy percent! The rest are still alive and almost all of them are not able to ride. Fortunately, the war horses brought by Ding Hanshan's side are enough to ensure that one person and two riders are even after being given to Xue Fu!

"No signal! Ding Hanshan led the way, Ma Hu Mengqing red satin blood spear, and went directly to the capital! Xue Fu also replaced the war horse and muttered, "Hope...... It's still too late! ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

The battle in Shangjing, this is an inter-ethnic battle in Greater Northeast Asia!

Obstruction, Enemy Lie, Murowei, Bohai, Xi Nationality, Female Zhi...... Of course, the most important thing is the Han and Khitan.

Either under the banner of the Tang Army or under the banner of the Liao Army, they fought for the fate of their respective ethnic groups for decades or even hundreds of years to come in their respective camps - this war of TongguΓ²!

If the big clan loses, it will be enslaved, and if the small clan loses, it may be wiped out!

There is only one nation that is true, and even if she loses, she will always have a chance to turn the tables.

"That's the Han people!" On the road from Shangjing to the northeast. Shu Luping, the empress dowager of Da Liao, was telling Yelu Deguang's eldest son, the eleven-year-old Shou'an Gong Yelu Jing, about the analysis of the shape.

Shu Luping said to his grandson: "This is the place where the Han people make people gnash their teeth, this hateful nation, it seems that it has existed since the beginning of the world, and it has survived thousands of years of ups and downs. However, this is also their disadvantage! Therefore, they will not have such a strong sense of national crisis as ours, so it is difficult for their people to make up their minds to die! ”

The land queen of the Khitan, the current queen mother of Da Liao, the wife of Yelu Abaoji, the most powerful woman in the entire north until last year, has now entered her twilight years, but her body is still strong. She can also ride horses every day, so the bumps in the carriage are nothing to her.

"But the child heard that Tiance doesn't seem to be like this." Yelujing was only eleven years old, but he was already quite majestic, the height of an ordinary thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, Shu Luping sat in the carriage, and he rode a war horse to follow, "They raised troops from the Western Regions and broke through many obstacles. In several major wars, they fought to get out of trouble and open up a new situation when others were bound to die. They are different from what Grandma said. ”

"Tiance is not Han!" Inside the carriage, Shu Lu Ping said sharply: "Perhaps, their ancestors have Han blood, maybe they speak Chinese, maybe they also think they are Han, but Tiance is definitely not Han!" You have to remember this, in case your dad doesn't beat them this time. In the future, the heavy responsibility of fighting against Tiance will fall on your head sooner or later, and you must not be fooled by Han Yanhui and those people to treat Tiance as a Han person in the Central Plains. ”

"Why?" Ye Lujing said: "All kinds of text stories tell the origin of Tiance very clearly. They are the descendants of the four towns of Anxi, why are they not Han people? ”

"Maybe they are the descendants of the four towns of Anxi, but they and the Han people in the Central Plains are already two ethnic groups." Shu Luping said: "The old department of Anxi is struggling to survive under the siege of various enemies in the Western Regions, so they will have a sense of crisis that the Han people in the Central Plains do not have, and they have the determination to fight for their lives in a desperate situation!" With the courage to gamble with one's life, and with the unity that only a small nation and a small country can have! ”

"Unity that can only be found in small nations and small countries? Why are small nations united? ”

"Because it is very difficult for people in a big country to have real unity." Shu Luping said: "People will live for themselves, seek profit for themselves, and fight for themselves!" But it's hard to do great things alone, so you need to help each other compete with the outside world. In the northeast, in Mobei, a small tribe is a whole, and they must fight against heaven and earth as a person to gain a way to survive. Solidarity is not a virtue, it is a need. A tribe must unite in order to compete with other tribes for survival resources, and a tribe must unite in order to compete with other tribes in order to grow. However, the Han people do not have this need!

"The territory of the Han people is so big, so big that it is almost boundless, except for the occasional strong tribes like our Khitan or Tubo and Hui, all other small tribes are the objects of their oppression, such as pigs and sheep, which are allowed to be raised and squeezed. Therefore, except for the western and northern borders, for most Han people, from birth to death, they have little chance to meet foreign people who threaten them, they are Han people, regardless of business and farming, study and martial arts, the object of competition has always been Han people, and the vast majority of Han people have little chance to compete with foreigners. They have not had such experience since childhood, so when they grow up, they are destined to be more accustomed to competing with their own people. There will certainly be more infighting than outwards.

"As long as the Han people are the largest and richest people under the firmament, this will continue until one day they are knocked down from their high thrones and they feel the danger of extinction of the country and species, and then there is no possibility of unity."

Yelu Jing seemed to understand: "But Tiance is a state of a small country and a small clan, so they can be so united internally, right, grandmother?" ”

"Yes."

"But Tiance is now back in the Central Plains......"

"Yes, that's the scariest thing about them right now. With the spirit of a new state, they returned to the mother state with infinite manpower and material resources, and they brought desperate courage, determination and unity to the mother state, and revitalized the erosive state of the mother state, and the mother state provided them with infinite human support. This is also the reason why Tiance has been invincible and invincible in recent years. ”

Speaking of this, Shu Luping sighed: "It's a pity that we didn't see through this earlier, otherwise, there would be no defeat of Mobei." Speaking of which, in the eyes of the queen of the Khitan land. There was a rare flash of fear: "Now Tiance is only in the northwest, once they control the entire Central Plains and use their people and their strength to the outside world, where will other ethnic groups still survive under the sky!" ”

"Grandmother, I heard Han Yanhui say that Shi Jingjiao can't beat Zhang Longxiang. If he really let him unify the Central Plains, and Tiance is so terrible, then what should we Khitan do? ”

At this moment, a letter horse galloped close and said a few words to Shu Luping in the car, and Shu Luping hummed and said, "I know." And he sent the messenger away.

Yelujing asked what was going on, but Shu Luping didn't seem to hear his grandson's question, and continued the topic that was interrupted just now: "Shu Lu'er, don't be afraid of Tiance. As long as you work hard, support Da Liao, and survive for ten, twenty, or thirty years, until Zhang Mai and Yang Yi are dead, then the Khitan will still have a chance! ”

"Why?"

"No matter how mighty the water of the Yellow River is, after it is poured into the sea, it will soon be assimilated by the sea, and it will take two generations at most. The Central Plains will definitely return to normal. ”

Shu Luping didn't explain again, just looked in the direction of Shangjing. Just now the messenger told him that the battle for Shangjing had begun, although she refused to admit itβ€”she had no control over the shape there!

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

When Shu Luping was educating his grandson on the road, the Khitan hinterland, which her husband Abaoji was proud of, had already made an impact on the Tiance Tang army.

The Tiance front army was thrown into the battlefield in the south of the capital step by step, and the remaining 9,000 people were simply unable to resist the strong breakthrough of the Khitan, and the 9,000 tribal army was torn in half almost without any resistance.

Pulling the Priest and swinging the great axe. Not with chopping, but with smashing, the elongated iron handle, and the axe of more than eighty catties was like a mace in his hand. He doesn't care about accuracy, when he sees someone in front of him, he just waves, and then there is one more dead man or dead horse in the world.

The strong impact, terrifying lethality, and the bloody scene made the Mobei tribes under the command of Tiance tremble!

But this qiΔ“ did not intimidate the Tiance Chinese army.

Corresponding to the Khitan cone marching array, the Tang Army's Chinese army was divided into five depths, the first layer was the Eagle Yang Ten Thousand Cavalry, facing the intimidating momentum of the Khitan hinterland was still as steady as Mount Tai, the second layer of 10,000 main forces were the newly recruited horse infantry of Ganliang, the third layer of 10,000 people, the main force was the Longxiang Iron Armored Army, the main force of the fourth layer was the Eagle Yang cavalry plus the defensive infantry transferred from the rear army, and the fifth layer was a mixed preparation team.

Five depths, the first three are all arranged in the early moon type, the most elite troops are concentrated on the left and right tips, and the fourth depth is semicircular.

"We're not here to defend, we're here to fight! The Khitan wants to rush to kill, and we will accompany him to rush and kill! ”

After the Khitan soldiers and horses broke through the advance of the field, if you look down from a high altitude, you can see that the overall formation of the Khitan is still a huge cone, but the grassroots formation has changed, becoming five to ten horsemen for a small team, fifty to one hundred cavalry for a large group, several horses for a small group, dozens of horsemen for a large group, thousands of large bushes and tens of thousands of small bushes, the cluster advances, the cavalry and the cavalry are almost equidistant from each other, echoing each other, and not trampling on because of the distance is too close, and can avoid the lethality of local bows and arrows to the greatest extent, this marching formationIt is a cavalry tactic that has been exhibited in Mobei for thousands of years, but it is not that the Khitan such an elite in Mobei cannot be effectively implemented, and later passed to the hands of the Mongols, and Temujin took a very vivid metaphor for it: "Into the peach skin bush"!

When the first wave of cavalry entered the range of the three arrows of the Mobei Arrow Branch, the second layer of the Tiance Chinese Army had already issued an order: "Prepare!" ”

This second layer of people and horses, the main force is the new recruitment of people from Ganliang, most of them are mounted infantry, the population is mixed with the Han Fan, but the recognition of the Tiance regime is very high, Xiliang has been a warrior since ancient times, these people in Guo Shiyong and Zhang Mai jointly established the military training system, the military quality is not low, and after last year's thousands of miles of actual combat training, it has been called a fine soldier!

Two thousand eight hundred infantry sat down at the same time, their waists were forced, their legs were stretched, and they used waist crossbows! You must sit down on the ground and shoot a bow and arrow, but you can shoot five arrows with a crossbow, and the effective range is three times that of Mobei's arrows!

"Put!"

Fourteen thousand feather arrows, with a sound that was so sharp that it was uncomfortable for the ears, went straight into the Khitan array!

If a flock of sheep grazing near the left at this time, the sound is enough to cause the flock to flee in all directions. If the Bohai Infantry Regiment had been close to the left at this time, it would have been shameful to see such a dense rain of arrows and such a swift arrow! The feather arrows fired by the high-strength waist crossbow are not at the same level as the archers of the Bohai Infantry Regiment!

But it was at this time. In order to see the reason why the elite is the elite! The people in the heart of the Khitan heard the sound of breaking the sky, and almost without the general's order, thousands of cavalry Cong all fell to the ground on their horses, and their bodies shrank into a ball, minimizing the damage surface, and the formation of the mountain peach skin thicket. It can effectively reduce the damage of long-range weapons, and the first round of arrows flies over, but there are only twenty or thirty horses on the horse!

"Rush! Come on! ”

Pulling Raduo out a beast-like voice, his black dragon was still running at the front, not caring about the damage he had just received, and rushed directly into the land of two arrows!

"Readyβ€”"

"Put!"

The closer the Khitan gets, the more lethal the rain of arrows will be!

There was another fierce sound of breaking the air, and then hundreds of horses fell almost at the same time!

However, due to the special cavalry formation of the Khitan, the person in front of the arrow fell from his horse, regardless of whether he was hit by the arrow. Or if the horse is hit by an arrow, it will not affect the progress of the comrades. Although the rain of arrows came violently, it could not affect the charge of the cavalry in the heart of the abdomen at all!

"Readyβ€”"

The waist crossbow was pulled open for the third time, and it took a lot of body to open this special waist crossbow!

But before the arrows were released, the first-tier master suddenly ordered: "Dismount!" ”

All the cavalry swooped down and crouched!

The 2,800 demon crossbowmen lowered the shooting angle, from a parabolic lookout to a low-altitude sweep!

"Put!"

Just when the sound of breaking the sky sounded. There was a loud roar from the Dragor, a sound not as loud as any human being:

"Khitan! Khitan! Rush! ”

Twenty thousand belly hearts shouted at the same time: "Khitan." Khitan! Rush! ”

It was a spectacular sound, it was a tragic scene!

In the face of oncoming feather arrows, none of the Khitan knights chose to retreat - if they dodged, it might reduce casualties, but it would affect the impact! It will even affect the comrades in the back!

At this moment, I don't know how many people continue to rush forward knowing death!

"Khitan, ah......" on the viewing platform. Li Bin also had a trembling guttural voice. The warriors of this nation on the other side are worthy of respect! Sweeping the desert for 200 years, how can there be no reason!

Hundreds of cavalry rolled and fell, or died under the arrows of the Don Army, or died under the hooves of their comrades!

At the head of the capital, Yelu Deguang's tears couldn't help but droop!

The warriors of the heart of the Khitan have never paid such a big price for a single charge!

Tiance Tang Army's side. Ying Yang Wan rode on his horse immediately after the rain of arrows, and the ten lieutenants gave the order at the same time: "Eagle Yang breaks the beard!" Rush! ”

Not to wait for the enemy's onslaught with a horse, not to delay the enemy's hooves with a shield, but to fight cavalry against cavalry, horse to horse!

If you don't make a shell, you just touch strong! Hit hard!

Two thousand Khitan cavalry, with a conical formation, broke into the eagle and ten thousand horsemen!

The Khitan's saber slashed the warriors of the Han family, and Tiance's horizontal knife stabbed into Hu Lu's body!

But this first round of impact is more dependent on the momentum of the horse, rather than the strength of the human arm!

The two tips of the early moon formation came into contact with the enemy earlier than the comrades in the center concave, and the dozens of horse war spearmen on the left tip cut off dozens of Khitan abdominal heart heads with large knives At the same time, the dozens of horse war pikemen on the right tip also used spears to pick dozens of Khitan abdominal hearts and pierced them!

When the two horses are galloping, there is no room for tricks at all, just to see accurately, and a shot and a knife are life and death!

But in the central part, the shape is not good, a Han military captain put the spear forward, relying on the enemy's own momentum, one shot overturned the oncoming Khitan, but at the same time was dragged Duoduo including an axe to sweep, the gun was broken, followed by the arm broken, and then the whole person was smashed off the saddle, and died in mid-air! The whole process takes less than half a second!

His men besieged him like crazy, only to be met with a sweep of a gigantic axe!

The soldiers in the heart of the abdomen who formed a clump of skin together with the Tuo Duo bracket also had the inappropriate use of centurions! One by one, the clumps rolled over, attacked and killed, and in the shortest possible time, they killed all the twenty-five cavalry in their path!

The most central point on the first floor has been breached!

"Broken! Break! Break! Break! ”

It's a roar, and it's a success!

When he went to the capital, after seeing it, Jerod ordered the drums to be beaten!

The sound of drums spread throughout the battlefield, and the spirit of ten thousand knights in the heart was greatly boosted!

But at the same time, the long lance of the Tiance Chinese Army was erected again!

Yang Yi gave the order!

A firework shot up into the sky, Shi Jian's dragon and iron armor, and Guo Zhang's five thousand horsemen shot out at the same time!

"Buse its edge, fold its wings!"

The heart of the abdomen is in full swing, and the two reserve troops of Datang have advanced to its two wings! (To be continued......)
