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

Under the morning light, the sun was shivering from the cold, and when the cold air on the snow surface rose in the air, the soldiers who were ambushed in the pine forest were already frozen hard. The Turkic war horses were covered with a layer of white sweat and frost.

With the war imminent, and the horses had to be fed in order to have enough horsepower, the soldiers took out the hay harvested in the Akita from their sacs and began to feed the horses. The horse's head was stuck in the manger, chewing happily, and its tail was popping around.

Li Chongjiu grabbed a handful of snow with his hand, the snow was pinched into a lump of ice in his palm, why did it suddenly get colder a few days ago, although there was no heavy snow, but now the weather is much colder. Therefore, the soldiers who wanted to humiliate the royal army were all just walking around the stockade and gave up the reconnaissance of Siye, which gave Li Chongjiu a chance.

Li Chongjiu looked from afar, and the camp was still built in accordance with the Xi people's consistent style of using cars as camps, but using a Xi car with two huge wheels to turn the camp into two fortresses. In the middle of the barricade, the horses of the humiliated kings were kept in captivity in large sheds, and the soldiers were carrying hay and were going to feed it.

From the inside, thousands of tents were silent, many of them were covered with bloody sheepskins hanging outside the tents, and the smoke was rising, and the people who insulted the king were boiling milk tea soup with cow dung.

The whole grassland was silent, and the people of the humiliated king did not yet know that danger was approaching them.

Launched!

With a shout, Li Chongjiu's subordinates were all on the horse, and the war horses were half-fed, which was the most energetic time. They picked up their hand-picked axes, sheathed poles, and scimitars, and wiped them with their sleeves, their eyes revealing bloodthirsty.

Ugunai led his 800 heavily armored horsemen and mounted them together, and the tall Liaodong horses carried the tall warriors and armor with ease.

Ugunai raised his iron bone and swung upward, and the warriors under his command received the order in an instant, urging the war horse to run straight away. When the Tatar people charged, they were like steppe wolves, and there was a terrifying murderous aura in their silence.

The people who insulted the king two miles away only felt that the ground was rolling, and in a blink of an eye, a black line reflected the white snow, and suddenly attacked.

The pupils of the people present contracted in unison, but then reacted, raised the horn on his chest and began to blow it directly.

Whining!

The sound of the warning horn sounded in a hurry, which only added a little bit of panic to the attack. The people who insulted the king, naked and showing their chest hair, came out of the tents one after another, and saw some cavalrymen in iron armor who were coming.

These cavalrymen were wearing iron armor even to their men and horses, and their faces were also covered with iron masks, and only two eyes shone faintly, like hungry wolves. At that moment, the scouts who insulted the king approached the barricade, raised their bows and arrows, and organized a wall of arrows.

They wanted to use the chariot battalion to try to slow down the ironclad cavalry, after which the rear light cavalry could be ready to fight back.

Behind the tent farther away, several clouds of black smoke rose into the sky, asking for help from the court of the distant Emperor Khan, as well as the various tribes.

At this time, the cavalry waved the stick in their hands, approaching in an instant, facing the camp of the car, the cavalry raised the stick in their hands on the horse and smashed it towards the camp of the car.

At this time, the humiliator behind the fortress shot a rain of arrows, and arrows fell from the sky, but when they hit the heavy armor of the ironclad cavalry, it was like tickling.

Although the arrows of the people who insulted the king were made of precious iron arrows, the bow power was too weak, except for a few warriors, at most two stones. As for heavy armor, except for the three-stone crossbow, the general bow and arrow cannot penetrate beyond fifty paces.

Not to mention insulting the kings, many of whom are still using backward short bows with leather.

The people who insulted the king still did not give up, and after three rounds of arrow rain, only five or six of the cavalry fell under the arrows, and at this time, many of the warriors of the royal clan had run out of iron arrows, and they could only replace them with stone arrows and bone arrows, so that they could not break the iron armor.

The arrows flew in unison, but they were empty, and they flew upside down on the armor.

After a few attempts, the cavalry consumed a part of the opponent's iron arrows, and then stepped forward to break through their first bulwark. When the soldiers of the royal clan were replaced with iron arrows and shot them back, at the same time, Li Chongjiu's light cavalry had already arrived.

The light cavalry all raised crossbows in their hands, which were obtained from the Zhuojun arsenal, and as a result, some of them were equipped with the Wansheng Army and the Commando Cavalry. The crossbow was used exclusively for the cavalry of the Han army, which was not good at riding and shooting, and the rest of the light cavalry was to shoot the bow immediately, as if drinking water and eating.

Many of the horsemen of the Wansheng Army are good archers on the grassland, and even good archery masters, all of whom can drive strong bows, and since they defected to Li Chongjiu, there are endless iron arrows for them to squander, so this round of arrow rain is like a sieve to shoot down.

Those who insulted the king's tribe, even if they hid behind the barricade, could not escape their fate, and many more were overwhelmed and could not hold their heads up. However, the iron arrows that were shot gave the people who insulted the king a chance, and they tried to pull out the iron arrows regardless of the danger to their lives, and then reflected the ironclad cavalry of the Yan.

But at this time, the ironclad cavalry had already aroused ferocity, and the fierce rush smashed wildly, stepping forward to break through the second layer of barriers. The Xi car was round in the iron bones of several strong men, and with a loud bang like a mountain, a Xi car was almost overturned by it, a few pieces of broken wood, and sawdust flew everywhere, and the soldiers of the humiliated king who were hiding behind were frightened by this scene and their legs were weak.

The rest of the Tatar clan were even more fierce as wolves, and under the fierce swing of the mace and the pull of the horse pole, several chariots were suddenly torn apart, and the second chariot barrier was also knocked open by them.

Whining!

The horn sounded, and Li Chongjiu immediately ordered the whole army to storm from the breach.

The mace in his hand swung left and right, and the head of the person was opened, and the entire skull was opened like a crispy melon. The people of the Humiliated King resisted bravely, and many of the people of the Humiliated King hurriedly got on their horses and stabbed with spears and spears in their hands.

But in the tent, where did the soldiers of the humiliating king have time to form a formation, they could only disperse and fight separately, and the cavalry of the Evil Armor swept by, and only an empty horse was left everywhere. The cavalry died in a hurry, in order to slow down the speed of the iron cavalry to the main tent, so that the companions could buy time.

Many of the men who insulted the king were armed with knives and went straight out of the tent, but one by one, they could not leave a white mark on the iron armor of the cavalrymen and horses. The cavalrymen were too lazy to pay attention to these little minions, and directly urged the horses to collide.

The horse's hooves were turning, and the people of the humiliating king's tribe who tried in vain to block the torrent of iron horses were immediately crushed under the horse's hooves.

The cavalry of the cavalry regiment led by Wang Mahan was the second wave of blows, but they widened the gap, and after attacking, they found that there was nothing to do with them along the way, and they could only occasionally mend a few dead people.

As for the third wave of armorless Wansheng army light cavalry, after surrounding Li Chongjiu and entering, there was nothing left, and the ground was full of dead corpses that insulted the people of the royal army, as well as people who surrendered with their heads and gave up resistance.

It's so easy!

Even Li Chongjiu couldn't help but shake his head, the resistance of the people of the Humiliated King was not brave, but this battle became a one-sided crushing battle. His own light horsemen, and the war horses of King Mahan, did nothing except shoot a few arrows.

Eight hundred iron horsemen directly broke the army!

The power of the heavily armored cavalry is very powerful, but what is hidden behind this is the incomparably brave and bloody nature of the Yan people, and this blood is far inferior even to the Xi people. It is no wonder that the people who will cruise in the white mountains and black waters in the future dare to shout that the Jurchens are dissatisfied with all the words, and the nomadic cavalry organized and iron-armed up and down can be backward and barbaric, but it is the nightmare of the civilization of the times.

Li Chongjiu almost saw the shadow of the Jurchens and Manchurians in later generations from them.

If we talk about the rise of the Khitan in history, Yelu Abaoji's father led the Khitan people to learn to smelt iron. Then, on the basis of iron smelting, the Jurchens more thoroughly implemented fierce restraint and increased the mobilization power of the upper and lower levels.

And now Li Chongjiu is using these two means to equip the trained cavalry, which has already shown its hideous fangs.

Soon after, the battle ended, and the entire fortress was smashed by the Warrior cavalry. According to a rough count, nearly 1,000 young and strong people were killed, and the remaining more than 10,000 old and weak women and children all surrendered.

And after Ugunai broke through the main tent, he tied up more than 30 nobles who insulted the king with ropes. Li Chongjiu interrogated a few words at the moment, knowing that in order to survive the winter, the Ministry of Humiliation of the King of Humiliation divided the people into five places for the winter, and Li Chongjiu just attacked one of them this time.

Li Chongjiu immediately forcibly ordered all the captured Huwang people to move to the south to the foot of Yuyi Town. As for the first-class Uzhumuqin war horses, as well as the cattle and sheep that spent the winter, they also led the sheep together.

The army walked on the grassland and returned to Yuyi Town, and everyone had a sad look on the faces of the people who insulted the king, but under the urging of Li Chongjiu's subordinates, they could only hurry up.

The next day, the Ministry of Humiliation seemed to have learned the news, and when a cavalry of two or three thousand people appeared behind Li Chongjiu, apparently after hearing the news, they rushed to the rescue.

Li Chongjiu did not pay any attention to the insult of the king's troops, and immediately sent Wang Mahan, and Eto led the army to defeat this cavalry and kill more than 300 people.

At that moment, the cavalry of the king did not dare to fight again, so they had to follow from afar. Li Chongjiu immediately put on a fearless appearance and marched swaggeringly, while the cavalry of the King of Humiliation was worried about the ambush and never dared to step forward.

Until the fifth day, the banner of the king of the humiliation of the king appeared, and the number of men and horses of the king of the humiliation increased to more than 5,000 horses, and the people of the king of the humiliation have always been inseparable, the Mohefu department of the Xi nationality, and the Qiyi department also sent nearly 1,000 cavalry to come to Austria for assistance, obviously the three parties reached some kind of tacit understanding.

However, the Mu Kun Division's Qi Jin Lihan also sent troops at this time, leading 3,000 Mu Kun cavalry to meet Li Chongjiu, and at the same time, Yan Yelie also led 2,000 cavalry to arrive in the heavy snow.

Under the confrontation between the two sides, the humiliating royal army did not seem to have the courage to fight, and immediately led the army to retreat. (To be continued.) )
