Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
40,000 Khitan warriors of the Xi tribe attacked Wei Chigong's 3,000 Han army.
At this time, Dagamo will be ordered by Dahe Duluo to lead 2,000 Khitan white horsemen to join the war group. The Khitan White Cavalry is the Khan's own army, and it is the most elite warrior of the Khitan.
The Khitan white horseman was dressed in a white wool felt fur on the outside, an iron armor on the inside, a leather shield in his left hand, and a spear in his right hand, and first entered the circle formation of the Han army.
Because the opponent was wearing iron armor, the strong crossbows and bows and arrows of the Han army greatly reduced the lethality of the Khitan white cavalry.
The Khitan white horsemen dismounted and fought on foot and entered the shield array of the Han army.
The two sides poked each other in the air with spears, and the spears struck the shield with a thumping sound!
Without the assistance of bows and crossbows, when the short soldiers were in contact, the Han army formed an unbreakable lance array with a zhang eight-step lance that was far superior to a spear, and the spear of the Khitan white horse, although long, was not as long as the foot lance.
In addition to the lance, there is also a Mo knife array, the Mo knife is from the Han Dynasty horse sword reform, very heavy and sharp, non-elite soldiers in the army can not dance, but once the formation of the knife array, it is also indestructible.
Although the Khitan white cavalry was a brave man, he didn't expect that even in the short-handed battle, they still couldn't gain the upper hand.
The Han army's infantry round formation is nothing special, the foot lance hand is a half-body horizontal stab, pick a thorn, and stab three actions, coming and going, repeatedly, without any new ideas. If it is changed to fight alone, the Khitan Baiqi is convinced that there are 10,000 ways to kill the other party.
But just these three simple movements, under the strict circle of foot soldiers, hundreds and thousands of people performed together, are like a solid wall that water cannot be poured into, and hammers cannot penetrate. Any Khitan who wants to rely on his personal bravery, rely on his agile skills, and fight with brute force can only retreat under the gun array to protect himself, otherwise he will have to give his life to it.
The Khitans couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this, if the Han army was not defending themselves, but attacking, this gun array would be enough to defeat them.
Of course, the Khitans also think too much, if it is a gun array on the march, then the training requirements for the soldiers are very high, even if the modern army after a thousand years may not be able to achieve it. But in any case, the infantry formation, which did not seek to kill the enemy, but sought self-preservation, combined with the strong shield of the Khitans, beat the offensive of the Khitans back wave by wave.
The Khitan Xi cavalry surrounded the surroundings and attacked fiercely, but the 3,000 Han troops were like hidden in the turtle shell, how could they not open a gap. The battle has entered the white heat, the noise is better than the burst, and the battle situation is still very stalemate from the outside.
At this time, the night has gradually fallen, and the stars appear in the night sky, reflecting the night as translucent, and the rolling mountains of western Liaoning, under the night, form a thick dark outline.
The mountain wind blew and beat the flags of the surrounding mountains, and the mountain soldiers turned on the lights at this time.
Under the big curtain of the green ox and white horse, the Khitan Khan Dahe Luoluo's eyes drooped slightly.
"Tell the Khan, according to the report of the people of the Baishan Tribe, the cavalry of the Murdexi Department has broken through their defenses and has appeared fifty miles away from here!"
Ohga Dura's eyes widened, and he said, "Didn't the White Mountain Department say that it would block us for more than five days? How come it's been less than two days. ā
"Back to the Khan, the Baishan Department said that the Xi cavalry attacked too fiercely, they broke all the bridges and destroyed the path, but they still couldn't stop it."
"How many people are there?"
"The people of the Yan Dynasty said that there were enemy armies all over the mountains, and they couldn't count them."
Dahe Luo sighed and said: "Changshengtian, I really don't bless my Khitan, this time it was easy to persuade the White Mountain Department of the Yan Dynasty to send troops to intercept the Xi Department of the Room for us, but I didn't expect the Xi Department to be so powerful!" ā
Luo Yi, Gao Kaidao glanced at each other, and said in his heart, Dahe Luluo actually has such a hand, it is really a scheming, only to think that the main cavalry of Li Chongjiu Xi clan is delayed, it turned out that the Baishan Department of the Seven Divisions of the Yan Dynasty sent troops to block it.
It's just that the Seven Divisions of the Divine Sect have been subordinate to Goguryeo, and this time Daga Tara was able to mobilize the Baishan Division, but it was between the Khitan and Goguryeo that a tacit understanding was also reached. This Li Chongjiu is really jealous, and all the forces have united to deal with him.
Just when Dahe Duluo sighed, the Han army on the other side of the mountain and the Chinese army once again sounded gongs and drums.
It was another group of men and horses, coming out of the camp gate, the other party holding torches, looking like sparks, and reinforcing from the direction of the 3,000 Han army.
"Yes, Shuai Qi!"
"Yes, Shuaiqi, that's right."
As soon as the Chinese army moved, the Han soldiers who were besieged by the 40,000 Khitan Xi army saw it and shouted one after another, it turned out that Li Chongjiu led the army to come to the aid with the handsome flag.
Seeing that Li Chongjiu is out, where can the Khitans let the other party get closer.
Dahe Duluo wanted to urge the army to intercept in person, but he couldn't help, because of the limited battlefield, in order to besiege Wei Chigong's 3,000 Han army, the narrow battlefield was already full of 40,000 cavalry of the Khitan Xi people.
Where can Ogatara still send soldiers and horses close to him and ask people to squeeze people to death?
Therefore, Dahe Duluo could only urge the main Khitan force to strengthen the attack on the camp of Li Chongjiu's middle army. However, he also knew that this move to save Zhao was too reluctant. Even if it is isolated outside, the 3,000 Han army cannot be defeated, and it is necessary to attack the Chinese army of more than 10,000 Han troops with strong camps to protect itself, isn't it a dream?
The Khitans, who were besieging the 3,000 Han army, still divided 3,000 cavalry and came to block it, trying to harass Li Chongjiu's marching speed so that the other party would not be so easy to approach.
But the Khitan cavalry in front, riding a horse just approached the opponent's forward, when it reached the effective range of their arrows, a round of arrow rain brushed down, under the strong crossbow of the Han army, the Khitan cavalry did not approach, that is, dozens of horses were shot off the horse.
The bow and arrow are inferior to the other party, and the cavalry of your own army has no way to get close, which is simply not even harassed. And the Han army was unforgiving, Li Chongjiu was in the middle of the formation, the formation was divided, ambushed in the middle of the foot soldiers, and more than 1,000 cavalry leading the horses got on the horse together, and suddenly held a group to the Khitan cavalry to counter-charge.
The horse crossbow held by Li Chongjiu's cavalry, before it was close, it was a wave of rapid shooting, and then they pulled out their Sui swords and entered the Khitan cavalry formation, and then even the cavalry of the Mukun Department of the Xi Nationality also dispatched, and they followed and killed.
Not long after the battle, the Khitan Yili Jin was beheaded, and the 3,000 Khitan cavalry were routed like sheep.
"Retreat!" Oga Tara felt that he could not stand it anymore and made a categorical decision.
The desolate horn sounded, and a day of bloody fierce fighting ended. In today's battle, the Khitan Xi coalition army suffered a setback on all fronts.
In the morning, Mohefu was hit hard, and in the afternoon, the 40,000 army of the Khitan Xi tribe besieged Li Chongjiu's 3,000 Han army for half a day, but it did not break through the opponent's position and was taken back to the camp, but suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and the morale was greatly reduced.
Only the Deed Department was slightly better, and after a day of battle with the Ya Ministry, the two sides were on par.
Fortunately, there are not many cavalry of the Han army today, and even if it fails, it will only be a rout, otherwise the casualties of more than 100,000 troops today will reach more than 10,000. But a day later, Li Chongjiu's main cavalry will arrive, and there will be such a fluke at that time?
When the people heard the news, they were silent.
"How did this battle be fought, you Khitans, in front of the Han army with only so many men and horses, do not dare to take a step forward, you must know that you have 100,000 people, not 100,000 sheep." The humiliated royal department said angrily.
He thinks that he has some 'qualifications' to be angry, at least he has made a contribution to the defeat of Ding Lingbu, which is also the only progress of the Xi Khitan coalition army today. Broke through the double fortress of Ding Lingbu, and at least almost crushed Ding Lingbu.
So this is his qualification to dare to mock the Khitans, of course, as the leader of the Xi people, he also has to sprinkle the dirty water of defeat on the Khitans to cover up the shame of the Xi people.
"Womandu!" The Khitan generals in the tent drew their swords one after another, and Wu Mandu was full of eyes, he had already prepared for coming here, and five hundred guards were outside the tent.
Wu Mandu looked around left and right, and said, "Why do you still have to do it?" ā
"Put down the knife, don't let Tong Jin see the jokes of our Khitans!" Ohga Tara spoke.
As soon as the Khan spoke, the Khitan generals put down their knives one after another.
Wu Mandu said to himself: "I really don't have the face to get along with you, you have lost the face of my cĒo original people." This kind of war, you Khitans, you will fight if you like, we will go first! ā
Wu Mandu made a move, and Mo Hefu, who was present at the moment, also glanced at each other, and stood up from the sheepskin blanket together, and the three have been advancing and retreating together.
"Wumandu, do you think you're gone? What if you make it to this day? If you offend Li Manzi today, tomorrow he will inevitably recover this debt from you one by one, do you want to die a glorious battle today, or will he be chased like a dog and run around the grassland, or die in his own nest. ā
Listening to Dahe Duluo's words, Wu Mandu paused, took a deep breath, and said: "However, we also see that we can't defeat it at all, and today's Han army reminds me of Baibao Xianbei back then." The Han people can't beat the three of us alone, but a hundred of them together can beat three hundred of us. I really don't understand what the truth is! ā
After Wumandu finished speaking, Ogami sighed when he heard the words, and said, "Yes, I also thought that it would be good to fight a war with a large number of people. ā
Seeing that everyone looked lamenting, some people on the side laughed loudly. When everyone saw it, it turned out to be Gao Kaidao and Luo Yi.
Wu Mandu immediately said angrily: "You two Han people, not a single soldier or a soldier came out, but it is also embarrassing, sneering here, believe it or not, I killed you both." ā
Gao Kaidao didn't say anything, but Luo Yi said: "I can't beat myself, but I don't admit that I'm incompetent, and I'm still blaming others here, so how can I not be defeated." ā
A person who is proficient in Chinese translated Luo Yi's words to everyone, and everyone was furious.
Dahe Duluo said: "Jingbian Hou, I heard that you have experienced a hundred battles, but you are not a defeated general under Li Manzi. ā
Luo Yi listened to Da He Luo's words, his face turned red at the moment, and he said: "Who said that Lao Tzu didn't beat Li Chongjiu, he just had some luck." ā
