Chapter 302: Counter-Battle (I)
"Li Fang, get ready to fight!" Li Muzhi returned to the main formation, just like Li Fang beside him ordered. Now that his army has not been completely concentrated under the city, if he wants to fight Ji Qingchen to the death, he still needs to continue to transfer troops outside the city before he will issue such a military order to Li Fang. In the other camp, Ji Qingchen had already promised Li Muzhi that he would fight him to the death, so he did not take the opportunity to attack, but quietly waited for Li Muzhi to deploy the army properly, and then prepared to give him a heavy blow.
"In this battle, Li Muzhi has the determination to fight to the death!" When Bai Xiangcheng saw Li Fang's actions, he sighed softly, "I don't know how many sons of Lu Dao are going to die under the swords of their own compatriots—"
Bai Xiangcheng was known for his ruthlessness in Northern Liao, and he was even more murderous in the face of the enemy. But this does not mean that he is a cold-blooded person, and he still does not like to kill in his heart.
"Sometimes, a lot of people want to do something, and he doesn't have a choice, so why shouldn't we?" Ji Qingchen sighed slightly.
Who in this world can do things and behave as they want? From the poor to the king, why not make a choice helplessly?
When Bai Xiangcheng heard Ji Qingchen say this, he stopped talking.
And the generals around Ji Qingchen couldn't understand the conversation between the two of them, they just stood quietly on horseback, quietly staring at the enemy army opposite, and the killing intent in their eyes was even stronger.
"Knock knock—"
At this time, Li Muzhi's army had been assembled, and he transferred all the troops to the city, leaving only 3,000 men and horses to guard Feng County, which showed his determination to fight to the death.
"Drumming—" Seeing that Li Mu's party was ready, Bai Xiangcheng shouted loudly.
"No!" The guards took the order and passed the order on.
In an instant, he heard the earth-shattering drums from his camp.
The war has begun!
……
Li Muzhi placed the cavalry in the middle as the main force, and placed the foot soldiers on the two wings, wanting to use them as wings, preparing to drag Ji Qingchen's cavalry, so as to restrict the rapid mobility and impact of the cavalry.
This kind of formation is definitely an excellent tactic in front of ordinary generals.
But in the face of Ji Qingchen's Northern Liao elite cavalry, Li Muzhi's tactics were doomed to failure.
This is not to say that Ji Qingchen is more powerful than Li Muzhi and can crack this tactic, but the combat effectiveness of the army around Ji Qingchen is too strong, no matter how Li Muzhi deploys, he is not afraid, and he can deal with it with the strong combat power of his army.
Therefore, he is not afraid of Li Muzhi's deployment.
Because in the face of Li Muzhi's tactics, as long as Ji Qingchen let Huang Taiji's 30,000 elite cavalry be the vanguard, rush into the enemy camp by arrow, and then use Xu Dachun's devil cavalry as the main force to launch a charge, let Liu Qingqing and Wang Yin act as the two wings, and use the impact of the devil's cavalry heavy cavalry, as long as there is no accident, it will definitely be able to break down the formation of Li Muzhi's cavalry, and then the 70,000 iron cavalry of Huang Taiji, Wang Yin and Liu Qingqing will be enough to annihilate Li Muzhi's Chinese cavalry.
"Hey-" Seeing Li Muzhi's formation, Bai Xiangcheng sighed.
This is the hard way for a good woman to cook without rice!
No matter how subtle your tactics are, you must also have elite soldiers who can execute this tactic, and what Li Muzhi lacks is this kind of elite soldiers. The elite soldiers mentioned here are not elite soldiers trained in three years, but divisions of a hundred battles like the Northern Liao and Beirong Iron Cavalry that have experienced the baptism of war.
"Kill-" At this moment, Li Mu issued a military order, and Li Fang received the order and personally led the army to rush to Ji Qingchen's side.
"Attack!" Ji Qingchen issued a military order to the generals around him.
I saw Huang Taiji, Xu Dachun, Wang Yin, and Liu Qingqing receiving orders. Huang Taiji was the first to lead 30,000 Beirong elite cavalry to meet Li Fang's army, Xu Dachun's devil cavalry was divided into 30,000 people's brigade, ready for battle, Wang Yin and Liu Qingqing's 40,000 troops served as the two wings of the devil's cavalry.
One hundred steps –
Eighty steps –
Forty steps –
……
The two armies are getting closer and closer, and the murderous aura on the battlefield is getting stronger and stronger.
Just when the distance between the two sides was ten paces, Huang Taiji raised his scimitar and was the first to rush into Li Fang's cavalry camp, followed by the 30,000 Beirong elite cavalry behind him, raising their scimitars and smashing into Li Fang's cavalry camp.
The cavalry led by Li Muzhi and Li Fang was 50,000 Yulin cavalry and 50,000 Xiao cavalry guards, which were the most elite cavalry in his hands. The number of these two armies was three times that of Huang Taiji's Beirong elite cavalry, and Huang Taiji's Beirong elite cavalry entered Li Fang's cavalry and drowned in Li Fang's army.
"Devil Rider - the first team to charge -" At this moment, Xu Dachun gave a military order.
I saw a cavalry wrapped in iron armor, and even the war horse was armored appeared on the battlefield, this cavalry was covered in black armor, all the color of the horse lance, murderous.
Tightly 10,000 people have already shaken the arrogance of the enemy on the battlefield.
"Kill-" The commander of the first 10,000-strong brigade of devil riders gave the order to charge.
Smack!
Smack!
This is the sonorous sound of the hooves of the heavy cavalry when they step on the ground, and it is like a fateful song, striking fiercely in the hearts of the soldiers on the battlefield.
All of a sudden, it collapsed everyone's defenses.
When Li Muzhi saw Ji Qingchen's heavy cavalry, he clearly realized that Li Fang's Chinese army was about to be defeated. Because he has been fighting the enemy for many years, Li Muzhi, who knows that the Iron Floating Massacre is powerful, naturally knows very well the crushing and lethality of the heavy cavalry against the light cavalry.
However, he remained silent and did not give Li Fang an order to stop fighting.
This is a battle with a huge disparity in strength, this is a battle where the new king advances and the old king ends, and he will not change since he has made a decision.
Even if it will sacrifice tens of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield, it will not hesitate.
"Kill-" At this moment, the devil cavalry rushed to the battlefield, their whole body exuded a steel temperament, and rushed towards Li Fang's cavalry like a sharp knife.
When Li Fang's cavalry saw the Devil's Cavalry, a cavalry wrapped in iron armor, everyone was stunned at first, and then they were a little frightened by the murderous aura of the Devil's Cavalry, and some even had the idea of retreating.
Li Fang saw the situation on the battlefield clearly at once, and when the devil's cavalry was only fifty paces away from his cavalry, he shouted loudly, "Kill - whoever retreats, there is no forgiveness for killing!" ”
As soon as his military order was issued, the cavalry around him no longer hesitated, and could only risk death to meet the devil's horseman.
Ten Steps –
Six Steps –
Bang!
When the two cavalry met, when Li Fang's cavalry's war knife was still one meter away from the devil's horse, the devil's horse lance had already pierced Li Fang's cavalry's chest with a "poof", and then continued to rush forward with the help of the horse's strength, and the horse lance continued to penetrate the companion behind the cavalryman, so as to curb the impact of the horse.
And some of the Yulin horsemen had seen the Tiefu Tu who had left the country rushed to kill, and the knights who could avoid the devil's riding lance did not have time to be happy, so they were knocked over by the war horse ridden by the devil in iron armor, and were trampled to death by the war horses of their companions.
Yes!
Ouch!
On the battlefield, there was a terrible scream because of the addition of the devil's horseman.
Clang!
Bang Bang!
Bang Bang Bang!
When the Devil's Rider's charge was stopped, and the knights of Li Fang's cavalry slashed their swords at the Devil's Knight's pawn, they could only hear this sound, and at this moment, they would be pierced through the chest by the Devil's horse's lance.
"The 2nd Brigade Charge ——!"
There are only 10,000 devil riders, and Li Fang's cavalry has 100,000 people, seeing that the devil's cavalry's charge was stopped, Xu Dachun decisively gave the order, and the second 10,000 devil cavalry raised the horse lance again, and rushed to the Li Fang cavalry on the battlefield with a steady pace.
This devil's horse stepped into battle, putting more pressure on the soldiers on the battlefield than the first devil's horse. This was because the fear of the first devil ride left a shadow in their hearts, so as soon as this devil horse entered the battlefield, many soldiers in Li Fang's cavalry had the idea of escaping.
Smack!
Smack!
As always, steady steps, sonorous horses' hooves, black iron armor and long horse lances.
When the second pair of devil cavalry rushed into Li Fang's cavalry, Li Fang's cavalry camp was in chaos, and many cavalry chose to avoid the devil's horse lance and impact, and for a time Li Fang's cavalry camp was in chaos.
"Third Team Charge!" At this moment, Xu Dachun continued to give orders, and he himself rode to the front, personally leading the ten thousand devil horsemen to rush towards Li Fang's cavalry.
At the same time, Wang Yin and Li Qingqing also issued military orders, and personally led the men and horses of their headquarters to follow the two wings of Xu Dachun's devil cavalry and rushed towards Li Fang's cavalry.
Li Muzhi, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw this charge, and his calm face showed pain. Because he knew that through the participation of this devil's horse, his side had already lost. Because Ji Qingchen used cavalry warfare to the extreme, and let the tactics of heavy cavalry and light cavalry cooperate with each other to give his cavalry a fatal blow, and now he can't save the defeat no matter what he does.
"Cao Yukun!" Ji Qingchen, who was seriously concerned about the situation on the battlefield, also shouted to the generals beside him at this moment.
"The last general!" Cao Yukun rode forward.
"Attack!" Ji Qingchen said in a low voice.
"No!" Cao Yukun received the order, rode back to the headquarters camp, and personally led 30,000 bandit cavalry to rush to the battlefield.
This cavalry is different from any cavalry in Beiliao and Beirong, they only exist for killing, they have no military discipline, they have no humanity, and they can do whatever it takes to win.
Therefore, as long as Ji Qingchen sends this cavalry to the battlefield, it means that Ji Qingchen wants to end this big battle quickly.
"Kill-" Cao Yukun gave an order, and the 30,000 bandit cavalry behind him rushed to the battlefield with a bloodthirsty light in their eyes like a wolf seeing a sheep.
Unlike the cavalry of Northern Liao and Beirong, there is no such thing as military merit and promotion among the cavalry of the bandit army, and some are only rewards, three times the rewards of the cavalry of Northern Liao and Beirong, and they are cashed on the spot, as long as the battle is over, they can cash out silver money through heads. Therefore, for the bandit cavalry, the enemy they faced when they entered the war was no longer the enemy, but a string of copper coins, which was the proof of their wealth.
Therefore, for the soldiers of the bandit cavalry, they either die on the battlefield, or earn enough money, and then spend it quickly and enjoy the life they like.
Because they were death row prisoners, they would die sooner or later, and Ji Qingchen gave them a chance to give them a new way to die, and they naturally cherished it.
As for the fact that death row prisoners can be pardoned after accumulating a certain level of military exploits, it is natural that there can be, but this provision is not easy to do, so everyone has no expectations.
