However, the distance of Rich, for the cavalry charging at full speed, is basically instantaneous. However, the speed of the Khitan cavalry was fast, and the reaction of the soldiers of the "Youzhou rebels" who escorted the grain and grass was faster. The talents on Goldman Sachs' side jumped out, and the other side began to make some moves, and the soldiers' originally numb and sloppy eyes became shining, resolute and decisive. And its quick reaction and skillful movements do not look like a listless, unmotivated tired army. What is even more surprising is that some of the soldiers who did not participate in the arrangement of the chariot array almost simultaneously threw away the broadswords, spears and other weapons in their hands, turned around and ran to a group of four-wheeled carriages that had been arranged in the center of the chariot array, and took out new weapons that were completely different from those big swords and spears that were thrown away before, or ran to the periphery of the chariot formation to make a defensive posture, or laid them in the center of the chariot array, looking busy but not chaotic and well-trained. Ah Ra, who was still standing on the high slope of the horse, saw this series of actions of the other party, and was stunned at first, and then secretly screamed that it was not good.

Although Lara had never fought against the "Youzhou rebels", he was not ignorant of Han firearms. At the beginning, that is, a month ago, Xiao Siwen was sent to the imperial court as a trophy, and then he was ordered by the emperor to circulate the samples of muskets captured from the "Shenji Army" of the Zhou State. Although the weapons held by the other soldiers were different from the samples sent by Xiao Siwen, they were similar in appearance, so it could be concluded that they were terrifying firearms. The grain and grass baggage troops reacted so quickly to the sudden attack, and there were a large number of firearms hidden in the baggage trucks, so even Ah Ra could guess that his side had fallen for the other party's tricks. Therefore, Ah Ra hurriedly ordered the soldiers around him to intercept Goldman Sachs. But at this time, Goldman Sachs has run far away, and where can Ah Ra's personal soldiers catch up. Seeing that Goldman Sachs led 10,000 elite cavalry to pounce on the enemy army "without hesitation" had already set up a trap, Ah Ra sighed helplessly, waved his hand, and rushed down the hill with his own personal guards, and rushed down the hill with his own personal guards, just waiting for his own army to kill the "Youzhou rebels" who had thrown themselves into the net - even if he couldn't save the 10,000 elite cavalry, he had to rescue his brother's son, otherwise, he would not be able to explain to his brother after he returned.

When Gao Sheng happily led 10,000 elite cavalry to rush to about 200 paces away from the grain and grass baggage troops of the "Youzhou Rebels", the crossing team armed forces that were originally moving forward like a long snake had completed the reorganization of the formation at this time, forming two circular defensive positions three or four hundred steps apart, relying on vehicles such as four-wheeled carriages and two-wheeled carts. Although he was a little surprised by the other party's rapid change of formation, Gao Sheng, who was bent on building the first merit of the battle of Liao Youyun, did not hesitate, and ordered his own men and horses to divide into two ways and attack the two enemy chariot formations at the same time.

The distance of 200 paces is still a bit far for the bows and arrows of the Khitan cavalry, and even if a few riders with outstanding arm strength can shoot arrows into the chariot formation, the arrows have lost their strength, and it is difficult to hurt the enemy in the formation. According to past experience, the Han infantry would be equipped with hard crossbows with a range and power far exceeding that of the Khitan cavalry, and the distance of 200 paces was already within its killing range. Therefore, at this distance, the Khitan cavalry shrank their necks and hid their heads one by one, urging their mounts tightly, and some knights equipped with small shields would also raise their shields to protect their positions diagonally above, and then accelerate their horses to the fastest, in order to shorten the distance between the two sides to the effective range of their bows and arrows in the shortest possible time, so as to avoid the unfavorable situation that the enemy can attack us and I cannot attack the enemy. Once within the range of their own bows and arrows, the Khitan cavalry can take the way of wandering in front of the formation, shuttling back and forth around the opponent's chariot array, taking advantage of their superior strength and outstanding archery skills to suppress the enemy's bows and crossbows in the chariot array, and prepare for the subsequent break. …,

However, this tactic, which could effectively deal with the infantry arrays of this era, was useless in the face of these two circular formations. Just when the Khitan knights were galloping towards the two-seater car formation, with the order of Tang Chao, who was in the west car formation, the fourth battalion and the fifth battalion of the second regiment of the "Flying Dragon Army", the first artillery regiment, and the fifth regiment of the "Security Army" disguised as baggage soldiers distributed in the two-seat car formation immediately took action, and with the cooperation of those real military servants, they began to block the Khitan cavalry in the harrowing formation.

"Boom, boom, boom", the artillery in the center of the two-seat car formation opened fire first, and mortar shells exploded in the Khitan cavalry assault queue, and the Khitan knights around the landing point were swept off their horses. Some knights were killed on the spot, while others were only wounded and fell from their horses, and there was no fear of their lives for a while. But just as the wounded knights were trying to get up from the ground, the knights behind them were already galloping up. At this time, the knights have already accelerated their mounts to the fastest, and in order to form a tight formation, the distance between each other is not large, whether it is the knight on the horse or the knight who has fallen off the horse, there is no way to avoid it at this time, and can only watch themselves hit or be hit. And the knights who were knocked down would be trampled into flesh by the steady stream of war horses without exception, regardless of life or death.

"Da, da, da", "bang, bang, bang", the infantry located around the formation of vehicles followed the artillery and opened fire, machine guns and rifles rang out, pouring bullets on the oncoming Khitan cavalry. Let these Khitan cavalry, who have never fought with the crossing team, taste the bitter taste of fighting against the armed Liliang far beyond this era.

Two hundred steps was originally just a fleeting distance for these Khitan cavalry, but at this moment, in the face of this "Youzhou rebel army" that they thought was just a group of Diao people, it was more difficult and impossible to complete these two hundred steps than climbing to the sky. From 200 steps to 100 steps from the chariot formation, there seemed to be an invisible liliang pulling these Khitan cavalry, so that no matter how fierce they were and how indomitable they were, they could not cross this invisible barrier. In a short time, in this circular area nearly 100 paces wide, the corpses of Khitan knights and their mounts, as well as the wounded, were piled up. In particular, the front and rear ends of the passage between the two car formations were covered by crossfire from the corresponding positions of the two car formations, so that the Khitan cavalry who tried to pass through the middle of the two car formations suffered heavy casualties and corpses, but none of them were able to successfully enter the area between the two car formations.

However, while the Khitan cavalry that charged into battle was fiercely blocked and suffered heavy losses, there were exceptions. Gao Sheng, who was the first to rush towards the two-seater formation, and a Khitan detachment of about 100 or so people who followed closely behind him, did not suffer any damage, and rushed to within 100 steps of the west car formation unusually smoothly. Among them, Goldman Sachs, who rushed to the front, and a dozen or so personal soldiers beside him had even rushed to a place less than sixty steps away from the car formation.

It stands to reason that this distance has already entered the range of the Khitan cavalry's bows and arrows, and the knights on the horses should have begun to fire their bows and arrows. However, neither Gao nor the knights behind him took their bows or drew arrows, but slowed their horses and looked around nervously, not knowing whether they should advance or retreat—although everyone was looking ahead as they charged, they were at the same time observing the movement to the left and right out of the corner of their eyes. When they found that except for their own small detachment of only a hundred people, there was no friendly army rushing to the front of the chariot formation, and the previous kind of thankful God for blessing them to rush to the enemy formation unscathed and in front of the enemy army disappeared, and was replaced by deep anxiety and panic. At this time, even a fool can see that the other party is clearly deliberately letting his people over. As for the other party's purpose in doing this, I'm afraid it will fall on the tall man who rushed to the front. …,

Just when the 100 or so Khitan cavalry and their main general Gao Sheng were hesitating whether to continue to rush forward or pull out their horses and run back, the body of the carriage facing their small detachment suddenly shook a few times, and then the box board of the carriage was put down, and about four or five hundred soldiers armed with spears, broadswords, strong bows and crossbows rushed out of the formation, lined up in an arc-shaped array, and rushed towards the hundred or so Khitan cavalry.

Judging from the formation, these hundreds of infantry obviously wanted to surround and annihilate these hundred or so Khitan cavalry. In the past, such a plan would have been wishful thinking. Not to mention that such a thin formation of cavalry will disperse as soon as it rushes, even if the cavalry does not attack but turns and leaves, the two-legged infantry alone will not be able to catch up with the four-legged cavalry in any case. But now for Goldman Sachs and his 100 or so subordinates, it is a dilemma. Advance, although you can easily break through the hundreds of infantry in front of you, but what about after breaking through? Is it possible to rush into the car formation? But the problem is, who knows what is going on in the other party's car formation, and who knows if the other party has dug a hole in it and is waiting for him to jump in. If you don't do well, if you go in, you will end up in a net; retreated, the sound of the opponent's guns and cannons never stopped, and the circle of death was still harvesting the lives of its own soldiers. Who knows if you still have such luck to rush out of that ring, not to mention that judging from the current situation, the other party obviously deliberately let himself in, if he turns around and runs back, then the other party will probably not be polite to himself anymore if the conspiracy cannot succeed.

Goldman Sachs couldn't make a decision there, but some Khitan knights who followed him had already made up their minds. The dozen or so people who were running on the Zuihou side pulled their horses' heads together under the leadership of their chiefs, intending to run back. But as soon as they pulled out their horses, the gunfire in the cart followed their movements. In just an instant, seven or eight of the dozen or so knights were knocked off their horses, and the remaining few were so frightened that they hurriedly reined in their mounts, and did not dare to make any changes.

At this time, the infantry that came out of the chariot formation had already surrounded Gao Sheng and the others, the spearmen lined up in a formation to resist the horses, and the crossbowmen stretched out their bows and arrows, staring closely at the Khitan cavalry in the encirclement to prevent any abnormal movement from the other side. Then, one of them, with a wide strip of cloth embroidered with the word "security" and two silver horizontal bars and a five-pointed star pinned on his left shoulder, looked at the Khitan cavalry in front of him, pointed at Gao Sheng, who was obviously dressed differently from other Khitan knights, with a long knife in his hand, and shouted: "Quickly order these subordinates of yours to throw away their weapons, dismount and surrender, otherwise, the brothers in the formation will be unkind to you." ”
