Before the battle, neither side knew what tricks the other side would use, and they were both speculating about the formation that the other side was likely to use.

Li Bin believes that although the Khitans have suffered repeated setbacks in recent years, they may still use their best tactics to use cavalry to make a central breakthrough against the Tang army.

And the response proposed by Li Bin is to "blunt its edge and fold its wings"! That is, the strategy of central defense and attack on both flanks.

At the same time, Yang Yi did not intend to let the war unfold according to Yelu Deguang's idea, and after knowing that the Khitan had the intention of a decisive battle, he ordered Chai Rong to attack!

——————————

At this time, seven troops had already appeared on the ground in the south of Shangjing City, and it was foreseeable that within half an hour, this land would become a pot of chaotic "porridge"!

Chai Rong ignored the East China Sea Murowei who went out of the city to attack his rear, led his men and horses, and went straight to the middle of the Khitan cone line defense line, in this "∧" walled city formation with the capital as the apex, the Liao army and horses could communicate between the two wings of guò "∧", and the Tang army wanted to enter, but it had to break through the upper capital, or break through the two wings.

The entire left flank defense line of the cone line, stretching more than 80 miles from Shangjing to the southeast, set up twelve large or small forts, the terrain between the forts is high or low, the Khitan has built guard towers in the high places, there are archers stationed on them, and to sweep a guard tower must pay double the damage, and in the low-lying places, the Khitan leads the water of the Wolf River to fill in, forming a semi-natural swamp - this trick is the means of the Han people at a glance, and it is out of the hands of the Liao Han army.

There is only one place in the entire left flank line, which is low and flat and far away from the Wolf River, and cannot be diverted with water, which is a natural breach, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend in terms of terrain, and is located just in the middle of the left flank line. So the Khitan built a big stone here! The name is called the heart of the cow. If you can break through Niu Xinqi, the left wing line of the Liao army will be more than half wasted!

As soon as Chai Rong crossed the boundary of the thunder pool, Yelupod ordered 5,000 Donghai Muwei to attack, but as soon as they left the city, Shi Jian sent additional reinforcements to Chai Rong to calculate the distance. Before he could catch up with Chai Rong, Donghai Murowei had to sell his back to the 5,000 Right Army tribesmen sent by Shi Jian, so he was forced to turn his horse's head to face the battle.

——————————

Murwei is a nomadic people in the northeast, is the predecessor of the Mongols, the origin of the complex ethnic origin, the distribution is vast, there are many branches, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, known as there are nine tribes. From the northeast of the Mongolian Plateau to the north of the Great Khing'an Mountains, and even spread to the boundary of the Outer Khing'an Mountains, some of its easternmost tribes are close to the East China Sea, and even Sakhalin Island, so they are called the East China Sea Murwei, which is the most wild part of the Murwei tribes.

It is a nomadic tribe group that operates between the black water and the white mountains, and the border with the East China Sea Nuzhi, and they make a living from hunting. The people are fierce, but the production methods are extremely backward. Even iron is rare. In recent years, forced by the women of the East China Sea, they gradually left the coast of the East China Sea and became nomadic in the middle reaches of the Tongjiang River Basin.

For the Khitan in their heyday, the East China Sea Murwei was a group of natives who caught swans for them, and for the East China Sea Murwei, this group of people did not know what the general trend of the world was. The so-called Tiance Datang is also extremely unfamiliar to them. For them, the Khitan was already a distant and powerful central dynasty. They also had a strong loyalty to the Khitan, and when the Khitan summoned the tribes to join the army, the tribes of the East China Sea Murowei didn't know what nerves they had. Thousands of people, which was a remarkable population for them, were gathered to join the Khitan army.

However, after coming to Shangjing, they were eye-opening! Shangjing is nothing more than the pattern of a state and county town for Han Yanhui from the Central Plains, but it is already like a rumor in heaven for Donghai Murowei. If they don't die in this war, then this trip to the war will also be a profit for them.

Because last winter, in order to improve his combat strength, Yelu Deguang opened the Shangjing arsenal for the first time and armed this most wild tribe. Tokai Murowei's previous weapons were a combination of wood, stone, and bone! They are extremely powerful, they can shoot fierce beasts with arrows made of bones, but the bow and arrows are not strong, the sword is not good, and even the mounts are the kind of northeastern mountain horses that can only travel through the mountains, but are not suitable for fighting on the plains—what makes Yerod even more ridiculous is that when the five thousand Donghai Murwei first came, there were dozens of people riding pigs!

That's right! Pig! A wild boar that they don't know how to do!

So Jerod had to change their bows and arrows, their swords, and even their horses!

In terms of weapon quality, the equipment that Donghai Murowei got was almost the worst, but compared to their original equipment, it had already crossed more than one level, so Donghai Murowei participated in the war at the beginning, which was similar to a countryman entering the city, but it was full of freshness when he came in a daze, but after getting the Khitan's comprehensive outfit, he became grateful to the Khitan, so he worked very hard to fight out of the city this time.

After they left the city, they only knew that the Khitan lord was asking him to fight the army that came to attack, but halfway through, there were people who came to attack their backs, these Donghai Room Wei Ke had no military literacy, and they didn't even have the concept of strictly obeying orders, fighting was fighting for them, but there was an advantage, that is, they were bold, and someone attacked them from behind, so they forgot the original purpose, and turned around and fought!

Last winter, Linhuang Mansion suffered extremely heavy losses, in the absence of various materials, many tribes were lost in the bitter cold due to insufficient provisions, but Donghai Murowei may be the most cold-tolerant people in Shangjing, their skin is not much worse than that of wild beasts, and the winter of Linhuang Mansion is nothing for them, on the contrary, the food from the Khitan is enough for them, so among the various ethnic groups in Shangjing, they have a fairly good spirit and body, and at this time they fight back, In a casual and chaotic way, he hit the five thousand men and horses sent by Shi Jian.

It's not a fight, it's a group fight.

——————————

If Donghai Murowei is facing the long-range shooting troops of the Central Plains, they will fall to pieces before they can take over, if Donghai Murowei is facing the main force of Yingyang, even if there are only five hundred horsemen, it is enough to rush them to pieces, and if Donghai Murowei is facing Xi Sheng's Modao Battle Axe Formation, it is a pile of moving meat that walks towards the meat grinder by itself.

But on the other side was the army of the northern part of the desert that belonged to Shi Jian, as far as the tribal civilization Cheng Dù was concerned. They are a grade higher than Donghai Murowei, but the fierce Cheng Dù is three points lower, they already have the concept of "war" in their minds, and they also know what the "hegemony" between Tiance and the Khitan is, but their morale is very low, which is different from the Donghai Murowei who has a heart of gratitude to the Khitan. They were desperate to take refuge in the Tiance Tang Army.

Therefore, the two teams just clashed, and the Donghai Murwei, who was not very accustomed to the war horses replaced from the Khitan, fell into passivity, and they were shocked into several pieces, five thousand Donghai Murwei against five thousand Tang Desert Northern Desert Army, that is, a big battle of 10,000 people, these Donghai Murwei came out of the distant mountains, due to the composition of countless small tribes, usually the most fights they see are hundreds, and now they are suddenly at a loss when they are in such a large battle.

But. These arrogant and delicate people have one of the greatest advantages, that is, they are not afraid! Those who have no sense of fear on the battlefield will quickly adapt to it, and five thousand people will fight on their own almost according to their instincts, hundreds or even dozens of people! If you're not used to riding a horse, just jump down and fight!

Their racial characteristics are too obvious, they don't need to look at them, they can distinguish friend from foe with their noses alone, anyway, if they don't have their own family, then kill them!

So after the initial chaos has passed. It quickly gained the upper hand.

——————————

At about this moment, 5,000 Bohai cavalry arrived.

The Bohai Sea is a great family in the Northeast. The people of the Bohai Dynasty established the Bohai State during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and at its strongest time almost unified most of the northeast, just as in the era of the Republic called all ethnic groups in the territory Chinese, in the era of the Bohai State, all the people who identified with the Bohai State also became Bohai people - not limited to its main ethnic group, the Qiang.

Bohai has long been subservient to the Tang Dynasty and worships the culture of the Tang Dynasty. Compared with the uncivilized natives of the East China Sea, the civilization of the Bohai people was much higher, and during the 200 years since the founding of the country, they fully imitated the rules and regulations of the Tang Dynasty and learned Chinese. Wearing Hanfu, writing Chinese characters, sinicization is incomparable, plus its ethnicity is similar to that of Han people, it is likely that there is a reason for Han mixed blood, if a Bohai person who wears a similar dress and a Central Plains person are put together, Zhang Mai may not be able to distinguish who is a Han person!

For Murwei, the Khitan is the "upper country" of civilization, but for the Bohai people, the Khitan is a barbarian, and the Khitan civilization can advance by leaps and bounds, in addition to benefiting from the Han culture, it is also related to the conquest of the Bohai Sea.

The Bohai Sea was destroyed by the Khitan, so they only hated the Khitan for destroying the country, they were afraid of the Khitan's strength, but they looked down on the Khitan - the attitude of the Bohai people towards the Khitan was actually no different from the Han people in the Central Plains. The Khitan's attitude towards the Bohai people is similar to that of the Han people in the territory, and it has always been suppressed, exploited, and restricted at the same time, until last winter, after losing a large number of Mobei troops, they had to arm the Bohai people in large quantities.

The life created by the Bohai people in their heyday is close to that of the Han people in the Yanyun area, and the food from the Khitan is considered delicious by the Donghai Murowei, but the Bohai people feel that it is pig food. Therefore, the attitude of the Bohai people after receiving the equipment was different from that of the East China Sea Murowei, and most of them were not grateful for this, they were not very happy to fight the Han people, but they were forced to fight.

This is a nation that already understands command and order, and this is also an army with a relatively complete military organization, if the East China Sea Murowei is completely a group of rabble, then the Bohai Navy is a relatively qualified ancient army, but the morale of these five thousand Bohai is like a sabotage. They are trained, but they are reluctant to engage in hand-to-hand combat!

——————————

Originally, the 5,000 Donghai Murwei had stabilized their position and gradually gained the upper hand, but after the 5,000 Bohai Navy approached, they did not immediately let the battlefield create a one-sided situation, they did not even rush into the battlefield to echo the Donghai Murwei at the first time, but gradually approached in an outflanking posture, as if they were helping, but as if they did not help, and they were too cautious.

And just before they could engage the 5,000 Tang troops in the northern part of the desert, the 5,000 people in the front of the Tang army had already arrived.

——————————

Last winter, a large area of the northern desert surrendered to Tiance, and Yang Yi domesticated it, so that the current southern expeditionary army has a large number of desert northern cavalry, these desert northern cavalry obey Cheng dù, loyal Cheng dù and combat effectiveness are uneven, and among them, the northern desert tribe that belongs to the original left route army - now it has become the front part of the northern desert tribe, under the integration of Chai Rong did the best.

Among the five-way army, Yang Yi couldn't invest too much time in this area when he looked at the overall situation. Guo Zhangwei Fei Ye Lu'an devoted most of his energy to development and sweeping, Murong Yang was overwhelmed by just the cooking logistics, and only Shi Jian had put a relatively complete effort into this area, but Shi Jian's talent was limited after all, and he did not have the charm of Zhang Mai and Yang Yi. There is no command and management art like Guo Wei and Guo Shiyong, so the northern Mobei tribe handed over to him has not really melted under the banner of Tiance. Only Chai Rong devoted himself to this all winter, and in his unique way, he brought many aliens to their hearts, and turned some of them into considerable combat power under Tiance. Now, the 5,000-strong tribal army of the front route army is also significantly higher than the 5,000-strong tribal army sent by Shi Jian.

Of the five thousand troops of the Tiance front army, each of the thousand people had an orphan army hundred team that broke up and became its backbone. Most of these backbones were still small soldiers who didn't know anything last year, and now they are the lowest-level orphan army soldiers who suddenly have at least ten subordinates, and their faces are hard to hide their greenness, and their eyes eager for war show excitement, after last winter's training, they can already guarantee the order in the battle order, and their battle ** and fierce Cheng Dù are far above the five thousand Bohai Navy, so a confrontation. The Bohai navy was rushed to a retreat, although it did not break up quickly. But it has fallen into a clear disadvantage.

At this time, the East China Sea Murowei and Bohai Navy had already clashed and cemented together with the two tribal armies of the Tiance Tang Army in the south of Shangjing City, and 20,000 people formed a huge and chaotic battlefield. The East China Sea Murwei was in the easternmost part, and they gradually adapted to the large battles and then slowly encroached westward, with the five thousand troops of the Tiance Front Army in the northeast. They kept pressing the Bohai people to fight, and the two parts in the middle fell into the disadvantage at the same time, and the battlefield of 20,000 people was deformed like a dough that was kneaded flat on both sides, and in the chaos on one side, the Bohai people were now forced to resist without retreat. The young commanders of the Orphan Army commanded their men to attack with a mixed shout of Huhan.

At this moment, the 10,000 Bohai army that arrived from Qiandemen arrived at the battlefield one step earlier than the 10,000 tribal army sent by Shi Jian, these 10,000 people were not cavalry, but infantry—and they were the few mounted infantry in the Liao army.

The 10,000 tribal army sent by Shi Jian is still three arrows away from the battlefield, and the 10,000 Bohai infantry have been assembled, this is a well-trained northern infantry, equipped with swords, halberds, bows and arrows, although it cannot be compared with Xi Sheng's Modao battle axe formation, but it is already a relatively complete combat system, they come from the northwest, form a half-moon shape to the southeast, and approach step by step around the five thousand troops of the Tiance front army, using long knives to prepare to chop at the five thousand people. At the same time, facing the defensive formation from the southwest, the unused horses were piled up on the outermost periphery, and the second layer was a thousand spears, and behind the spears were two thousand archers.

Before the 10,000 tribal army entered the firing range, the Bohai Infantry Regiment had already fired the first round of fire at Tiance's 5,000-strong team.

The young generals of the Orphan Army saw it and shouted: "Shield protection, shield protection!" ”

The weapons of these five thousand people are not high-end, but more than half of them are also equipped with a wooden shield, and the young generals of the orphan army use Guo Shiyong and Yang Yi to train their self-confidence in Luntai, and they are very standard and half tilted, and the small shield naturally protects most of the vital points on their bodies.

Two thousand feathered arrows fell from the sky, this kind of indiscriminate attack is actually extremely inaccurate, if it can be effectively protected, it can almost reduce the damage to close to zero, but while all the orphan army junior generals are speechless, there are still more than thirty arrows in the north of the desert who fall from their horses.

The two thousand archers of the Bohai Sea were under the order, and there was a second round of arrow rain, this time the five thousand people in the north of the desert were better protected than the first time, only more than ten people fell off their horses, but it still caused a certain amount of chaos in the northeast, and the Bohai Infantry Regiment had already stepped forward, waving a long knife to the five thousand people!

That's right, it's a long knife! A long knife similar to a Mo knife! Although there were only 500 people in the core, they were still instantly caught in battle under the wing protection of the surrounding spears!

Bohai is not only a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, it is the state of the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and its lord is both the king and the governor of the Tang Dynasty, so not only its culture, but also its martial arts are also deeply influenced by the Tang Dynasty. Bohai and the Khitan have a long-term grudge entanglement, and they have been hostile to each other with the Khitan since the Tang Dynasty was still there. The war with each other lasted for hundreds of years, so it was only natural that they learned the knife forging techniques of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the long-knife infantry tactics of infantry cavalry.

However, after all, the relationship between the Bohai people and the Tang Dynasty cannot be compared with the four towns of Anxi, and the Tang Dynasty allowed them to learn and imitate the military system, but did not teach the secret of the Mo knife. Therefore, this long knife formation is very similar to the Mo Dao Battle Axe Formation, both in terms of weapons and formations. But it's still not a real Modao formation.

Rao is like this, when the long knife is trapped, it still makes the five thousand people suffer enough! The heavy infantry that can stabilize the position will not fall behind in the slightest against the cavalry, and it can even be said that after losing the degree advantage, the light cavalry has no advantage in the face of the long-sword infantry at all!

——————————

This place is already far away from the Tiance Chinese army, even after Yang Yi and Li Bin ascended the viewing platform, it is difficult for the Tongguò clairvoyant mirror to see the shape of this side carefully. But from afar, I saw thousands of swords and lights advancing like a wall. shining among the cavalry, Yang Yi couldn't help but think of his comrade-in-arms who could no longer be reunited!

"Is that Modao?" Yang Yi asked.

Li Bin couldn't see it clearly, and said, "It seems to be." ”

"After the demise of the former Tang Dynasty, the Mo Dao seems to have been extinct in the Central Plains, but I didn't expect that this method of warfare was still retained in the East and West!"

"Look at the flag, it should be a Bohai people." Li Bin said: "The northwest belongs to Longyou Road, the northeast belongs to Hebei Province, and the two protectorates of Anxi and Andong are far away from the hinterland of the Central Plains. Perhaps because of this, some of the essence of the Central Plains that was burned by war was retained. ”

Yang Yi said: "If there is a Mo Sword Formation among the Khitans, then it should also be famous." How have I never heard of it before. Moreover, according to the news from the rear, the Khitan Iron Cavalry suffered a big loss under Xi Sheng! If they themselves have a strange sword formation, how can they be defenseless. ”

In fact, Yang Yi's thinking is a bit reversed in terms of cause and effect.

Bohai originally had long-knife infantry, but for various historical reasons. did not show amazing power in front of the Khitan, after all, a blocking battle like the Huanma Heights would only be formed under specific historical conditions, if the Khitan had known that the Modao Battle Axe Formation would cause such strong damage to the cavalry, Yelu Deguang would not have a frontal impact even if his head was flattened by the door panel, and he would definitely use the advantage of light cavalry to attack and harass - of course, Yelu Deguang at that time would probably not have thought that he would be defeated head-on.

But after Tiance suffered a big loss at hand. In the class, I suddenly remembered that the Bohai Surrender Army, which had perished in the hands of the Khitan, seemed to have a similar type of troops, so I paid attention to it and mobilized it to Shangjing.

But this is a force that has been dead for decades, even if Yelu Deguang no matter how to envelop and soothe, it is impossible to have the spirit of the Mo knife battle axe array under the leadership of Xi Sheng, and then Tiance's Mo knife forging and knife formation tactics are passed on from the four towns of Anxi, which belongs to the authentic inheritance, and in the Tiance period, due to the huge investment of manpower and material resources to keep improving, there are certain improvements in weapons, and the long knife of Bohai is just a simulation, and it is increasingly abandoned after the death of the country.

Rao is like this, this Bohai Infantry Regiment still shows good combat power, and it is more powerful than Yu Zi in the several troops that have been put into the battlefield!

When its 500 long knife formation attacked the 5,000-strong team in front of Tiance, the 10,000 cavalry from the northern desert of Tiance's right army had also entered the range of the Bohai Infantry Regiment.

"Turn!"

In the infantry regiment, the Chinese command was issued.

Two thousand archers turned their heads and then drew their bows in command.

"Shoot!"

It was another round of arrow rain, but this time it flew towards the 10,000 cavalry from the north of the desert who came from the southwest.

In the screams, dozens of men and horses were hit by arrows, fell to the ground and rolled, and before the cavalry could rush closer, there was another round of arrow rain. The rain of arrows weakened the offensive of the cavalry in the north of the desert, and the third round of arrow rain did not shoot out, they had already rushed closer, but what stood in front of them were 10,000 war horses!

In this special battlefield, this batch of horizontal war horses became the best interception, so that the opposite rushing desert tribe could not be trampled with horses' hooves, and when the degree slowed down, it also lost the degree advantage in the face of infantry.

The Bohai Infantry Regiment facing west drew its spear and stabbed at the northern part of the desert. There were also 800 swordsmen in the infantry regiment, but they were not taken as reserves.

If the Donghai Murwei is still in the stage of fighting by brute force, this Bohai Infantry Regiment is a composite combat unit combining multiple arms. As for its operational command, there are laws for advancing and retreating, and if it can ensure its enthusiasm for combat, it is not an exaggeration to call it elite.

"These Bohai people are fighting well!" At the head of the capital, Yelu Deguang nodded slightly.

Although these Bohai soldiers are only the defeated generals of the Khitan, the army that can compete with the Khitan before it perished in two hundred years is not comparable to the rabble that the Tiance Army has just gathered. The Bohai Infantry Regiment, which was fighting in a decent manner, was attacked by the enemy on both sides, but it still had a clear advantage even if it did not exert its full strength!

In the hundred-year-long confrontation with the Khitan, they were very familiar with how to fight the cavalry, while resisting the 10,000 fallen troops in the northern desert with spear formations, gradually depleting their momentum and body, and on the other hand, they continued to attack the five thousand troops in the northern desert who were flanked with long knife formations. As for the 2,000 archers, they no longer shoot arrows, but shoot accurately at close range.

————————

Later generations of the Jin (later) minister, who had been strictly sinicized, once said that the reason why the Mongols repeatedly defeated the Jin army was that the Mongols "relied on the horsepower of the north and the skill of China" - from a certain point of view, the same is true of the current Khitan.

On the one hand, the Liao people maintained the combat methods of the northerners who were good at horses, and on the other hand, they obtained various war skills and equipment of the Han civilization, and before they were corrupted, they had the admirable combination of arms in the era of cold weapons.

At present, the strength of the Tiance Tang Army is reversed, they are not only "relying on China's skills, but also the horsepower of the Western Regions"!

————————

"The 10,000 soldiers and horses on the right can't fight this Bohai Corps." Yang Yi put down the clairvoyant mirror again and said.

At the same time, Shi Jian's side has also sent out instructions to ask if he wants to increase his troops.

Tiance's right fodder is exhausted, although there are still 3,000 tribal troops, but with the current shape of the Bohai Infantry Regiment, no matter how much it is put into it, it may not be able to turn the tide of the battle.

"This Bohai horse, although it has the strength to restrain horses," Li Bin said: "But when the Longxiang Iron Armored Army is in Longyou, it often fights against the Modao Battle Axe Formation, and if it is put into the battlefield, it will definitely win!" Just ......"

"Shi Jian can't move yet!" Yang Yi said: "Let the front reinforcements!" The terrain here is open, which is conducive to cavalry attack, and then add 10,000 troops to form an encirclement trend, and advance from all directions. ”

Li Bin was slightly worried, and said: "Of the 30,000 people in the front of our army, 11,000 people have already been invested, and if we invest in 10,000 cavalry, the Chinese army will be empty before!" ”

Yang Yi smiled: "I know, what Yelu Deguang is waiting for is probably this opportunity!" Then let him come! ”

The front army of the Tiance Tang Army finally moved again! Ten Mobei thousand-man teams divided into two wings, galloped towards the Bohai Infantry Regiment, bypassed the Mobei Ten Thousand Cavalry sent by Shi Jian, and outflanked the Bohai Infantry Regiment from the left and right.

When the vanguard of the ten thousand troops appeared at the left and right ends, the formation of the Bohai Infantry Regiment began to show instability - if Xi Sheng was replaced here, the formation would be completed, even if he was surrounded by 100,000 troops, he would be as stable as Mount Tai and as hard as a stubborn stone! But this army in Bohai, after all, does not have the powerful concentration of the Modao and Tomahawk Formation, where Mount Tai collapses in front and does not move, and the elk is on the left and does not look at it for a moment!

————————

"It's time!" And Jerod said in the light of the city.

At this time, the elite of the Khitan had assembled in the capital city and stood by.

"It's time!" Sachel said in the heart of the ox.

At this time, Chai Rong's 6,000 soldiers and horses were already approaching his gate!

"It's time!" Yang Yi said from the viewing platform.

At this time, he saw that the Qiande Gate in Shangjing was wide open, and the soldiers and horses who had been murderous all the time lined up!

Armageddon, slaughter, one touch!
