Chapter 875: Withering and decaying
Once it declines, then it goes down again.
The Liao army no longer had much fighting spirit, and when they saw the bow and arrow shooting, they instinctively turned around and ran.
It's really impossible not to run, so many arrows have fallen, if they really rush forward, I'm afraid there will be a lot of losses.
And if they were faced with this situation at the beginning, they would dare to charge, because they believed that all their comrades must be charging, and someone would always rush to the side of the dragoons, so that they would have a certain chance of close combat.
But now, everyone's courage is frightened, how many people will rush at this time?
Even if you are willing to charge, what if others don't charge?
Wouldn't that mean that you were rushing up to your death?
The Liao cavalry, who really didn't have much confidence in their comrades, mainly because they had no confidence in themselves, began to turn around and run.
After the five thousand Liao cavalry only lost a few hundred horses, they all turned around, as if they were afraid that if they ran slowly, they would be caught up by the dragoons behind them, and then they were slashed and killed.
Of course, not all Liao cavalry did this, and there were a few, less than a thousand Liao cavalry, rushing towards the dragon army.
These people may have slow brains.
Or maybe they don't think about it that much at all.
Or maybe they're really brave enough to risk their lives.
But no matter what the reason is, the Liao cavalry with only a thousand people is no longer a climate, at least in the face of the dragoon army that is several times their number, they have no ability to resist at all.
Thousands of cavalry Liao troops, among which there were hundreds of dead under the bow and arrow, and less than half of the remaining men and horses, when they were lucky enough to rush in front of the dragoons, they also quickly learned what is called a crushing style of fighting.
Dragoons in groups of three, in threes against one.
When the overlord spear in his hand was split, stabbed, or swept in, there was no Liao cavalry that could resist it.
Originally, the strength was inferior to the people, and the strength was not as good as the people, and it was not an opponent to one-on-one, let alone one-on-three.
In this way, hundreds of Liao cavalry were only two or three in front of each other, and they were all knocked down under the horses of the rushing dragoons. Occasionally, two Liao cavalry who were not weak in their own strength only held on for a few more rounds, and finally were shot down on their horses and died on the battlefield.
There was no enemy in front of Su Shi, there was one before, but as soon as the person came to him, he was directly swept out with the overlord gun in his hand.
In this blow, Su Shi used the power of the system, and smashed it with a full force of 700 catties, even the strongest war horses would not be able to stand it, let alone people who weighed only more than 100 catties.
Just swept away, and the Liao cavalry on the opposite side just raised his knife to block, and even the one with the knife flew out.
After there was no enemy in front of him, Su Shi did not look at the situation on other battlefields, this was because he had confidence in the soldiers under him. What he has to do now is how to rush to the Liao army in the fastest time and break their formation that has not yet been formed.
Su Shi took the lead, and on their left and right, countless dragoons followed.
His Majesty was so valiant, which greatly stimulated everyone.
At this moment, everyone is thinking about how to kill more enemies like His Majesty and have a better performance, so are you afraid that there will be no credit to be taken?
The dragoons were getting braver and braver, but the Liao riders in front of them were running faster and faster.
It's really not fast, let's see, how long has it been, but is there half a stick of incense? I lost three horses, how will I fight this next?
Forget it, the dead friends don't die in the poor way, it's better to escape first.
As for the fact that the foot soldiers behind him have not yet completed the formation preparation, there is no way. Anyway, they've done their best, and they can't throw their lives here for the sake of these pawns, isn't it too unworthy.
But not everyone has a spirit of dedication and will sacrifice themselves for the sake of others.
Liao Qi rushed out, which made Xiao Yuan very pleased, worthy of being the elite of their Liao Dragon Kingdom, reaction
It's fast.
But soon, these Liao riders ran back again, which scared Xiao Yuan.
Before he could ask what was going on? I saw that behind these Liao cavalry who fled back, there was smoke and dust all over the sky, and from time to time you could see the figure of the dragon cavalry wearing a black cloak.
The dragoons were killed so quickly?
Xiao Yuan was puzzled.
Only now, there is no time for him to think about these things. Seeing Liao Qi rushing back, and seeing the foot soldiers who were still crowded in a mess and had not deployed a defensive formation, he knew that he would not leave time for himself to prepare next.
"Withdraw."
Almost without any hesitation, Xiao Yuan directly gave up the command, and began to pull out his horse and flee with a dozen personal soldiers around him.
Along the way, Xiao Yuan didn't know how many times he had been defeated, and he had long been accustomed to the act of escaping.
People are like this, and many things are difficult in the first time. As long as you have the first time, the second and third times will become extremely easy, and even become a habit.
Xiao Yuan fled, and fled when he saw that the situation was not good.
Yi Yangxian's reaction was not slow, he was also a master of escape, seeing that the situation was not good, he also gave up his heart of resistance and fled on horseback, for him, it didn't matter how many people died, as long as he was still alive.
The two leaders escaped cleanly, and some of the other youngsters did the same. For a while, most of the people who commanded the army fled, and the rest of the people who dared to fight, seeing that there was no one around them to cooperate with them, were really empty and had no spare strength.
In this way, when Su Shi led the dragoons to the front, he did not encounter any decent resistance at all, and the infantry of the Liao army without the command could run as fast as they could, and some even threw the weapons in their hands on the ground in order to run faster.
"Cover up the past, surrender and don't kill!"
Su Shi did not give up this great opportunity, and at that moment a shout came out, and he rode his horse again.
The other dragoons also followed behind His Majesty, and from time to time they would shout a word of surrender and not kill.
Under the sound, many Liao soldiers directly threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground, at this time they didn't look at how many dragoons there were, they only knew that if they surrendered, there might be a way to live.
The war progressed faster than Su Shi had expected.
I thought there would be a bloody battle here.
Su Shi was prepared for military losses even before the war.
But he never thought that the Liao soldiers who ran all the way here had long lost their will to fight, and they were so vulnerable.
Tens of thousands of Liao soldiers, including many so-called elite Liao soldiers, were pursued by the six thousand dragoons led by Su Shi, and they didn't even have the courage to resist a blow, so they surrendered and fell to the ground.
This is the importance of morale in the military.
With the will of the army and the morale of the army, it is often possible to fight a hundred battles.
On the contrary, if you don't have this confidence and mental strength, you will be ten thousand against hundreds, and you will not be an opponent.
This chase lasted for more than two hours, and the battle ended until the Liao army could run far away, and those who could not run surrendered on their knees.
The dragoon cavalry also began to slowly gather, and many of them could be seen wearing black cloaks that had been dyed red, which were made of enemy blood.
Su Shi withdrew relatively early, after all, as the Dragon First Emperor of the Dragon Empire, his safety is always the first priority, and the guards and soldiers around him will not allow His Majesty to run too far.
I came back early, and Su Shi was resting on the side of the road at this time.
In this battle, Su didn't kill many people, nor did he consume much physical strength. Originally, he wanted to kill more enemies.
But there is no way, there are too many people around to block it, especially Lou Yang and Bai Xing, who are even more inseparable, and finally meet one or two Liao soldiers who dare to resist, but without waiting for Su Shi to make a move, Lou Yang and they will solve it first.
Just when he felt that the fight was not enough, Su Shi, who was sitting there to rest, suddenly felt that the earth was shaking, and then the voice of a nearby scout came from his headset, "Your Majesty, another Liao cavalry has rushed over, and the number is about two thousand."
"Did you come to us?" Su Shi asked out loud after hearing the information.
"Yes, it is from the direction of Anzhou City, and it should be the Liao army in charge of the broken end." The scout gave a report on his analysis for Su Shi to judge.
"Okay, keep an eye on them for any other reinforcements." After hearing this, Su Shi's eyes flashed, and after hanging up the call, the person also got up and said, "Everyone, pay attention, there are two more Liao cavalry coming to us, everyone is preparing for battle."
Hearing that another two thousand Liao cavalry were coming, some of the dragoons who had felt that they were not happy to kill before suddenly came to their senses.
What is elite, this is the real elite.
Hear the war and rejoice, rejoice and seek war, and fight and win.
The soldiers of the 1,500 or so guards regiment who had just gathered quickly concentrated on this. As for the other people who were still watching the prisoners, Su Shi had no intention of calling them over.
Two thousand Liao cavalry who fled in defeat were only, and he could bring 1,500 soldiers of the guard regiment, which could already be regarded as giving face to the other party.
The army quickly assembled, and followed Su Shi without waiting for the Liao cavalry to rush over, so he led them to meet the other party and rushed here.
The 2,000 horsemen who escaped were the troops led by Shen Yong.
Seeing that the dragon army was pursuing fiercely and his soldiers were already in chaos, Shen Yong gave up the idea of taking everyone away, but gathered about 2,000 cavalry and came in the direction of Tongzhou City.
Defeat is already defeat, and now it's not thinking about how to kill back, but how to escape back, and then fighting again in search of opportunities.
Shen Yong still wanted to go to Liaozhou to gain a firm foothold and fight again, but he didn't know that he didn't have such a chance at all, because as soon as they entered the area of Shuanghu Mountain, they saw a team of thousands of black horsemen rushing towards him.
