Chapter 205: The Two Armies Meet

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire are extremely well-equipped, and these heavy cavalry are all equipped with Mingguang armor, and those arrows that shoot cannot cause them any damage at all.

The Jin cavalry soon found that the arrows they shot could not do any effective damage to the enemy, so they simply put away their bows and arrows, took out their spears and scimitars, and rushed towards the enemy at a faster speed.

In close combat, the cavalry of the Qinglong Empire is naturally not afraid, after all, due to the scarcity of cavalry troops in the Qinglong Empire at the beginning, the cavalry troops established by Ye Tianlong are required to be able to both ride and shoot and fight in close combat. This tradition has been preserved, and all soldiers who join the cavalry will try to master these two skills. At this time, these soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire were about to rush in front of them when they saw that the enemy army was accelerating, so they also took out their horse lances, eyebrow sharp knives, and Fang Tian painting halberds and other long-handled weapons that they used immediately.

And Li Zhong naturally took out his spear, his marksmanship has consulted Lin Chong and Shi Wengong and other masters, and it is completely different from the previous Yeluzi marksmanship. At this time, I saw that his spear smashed hard, and then the long-handled iron bone smashed by the young general of the Jin Kingdom on the opposite side was knocked open, and then there was no pause, and the spear poked out like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, and accurately hit its throat, and it was closed with a touch.

The young general of the Jin Kingdom felt the huge blood hole in his throat pierced by the spear, and there was a look of disbelief in his eyes, but his body had become more and more weak because of the blood that was constantly lost from the wound, and after running for dozens of meters, he fell from the horse with a pop, and then was trampled into a pile of meat by the cavalry war horses that galloped back and forth between the two sides.

In a continuous exchange of gold and iron, the soldiers on both sides quickly passed a few moves at the moment when the war horses staggered, the strength of these Jin light cavalry is obviously not so strong, plus the equipment is poor, so this wave of cavalry hedging actually only caused a few cavalry of the Qinglong Empire to be slightly injured, but failed to kill one person on the opposite side, and the cavalry side of the Jin country was cut down fifty or sixty cavalry, and the cavalry team became a lot smaller with the naked eye.

Li Zhong originally thought that after this hedging, those Jin cavalry should finally be able to recognize the gap between the two sides and give up continuing to fight with them, but when he pulled the reins of the horse and turned the horse's head to look, he found that those Jin cavalry were actually regrouping quickly, and then charged towards them again.

"What a bunch of guys who don't know whether to live or die! Brothers, follow me and clean up this group of golden soldiers! ”

Seeing that the enemy dared to continue to attack, Li Zhong roared and quickly divided his cavalry into three teams, each team of more than 100 people, of which the middle team was responsible for containing those Jin soldiers, and the other two teams were outflanked from both wings.

Those golden soldiers soon discovered the enemy's intentions, and immediately divided into two groups of men and horses, wanting to block the outflanking enemy cavalry.

However, because the difference in strength was too great, the cavalry sent by the two teams was quickly blocked back, and lost a lot of soldiers and horses.

By the time the two teams of cavalry fled back to join up, the strength of these golden soldiers was already less than a hundred.

However, even so, these Jin cavalry had no intention of surrendering, and in the face of the enemy troops who were approaching from all directions, they still found a direction and launched the final charge with all their might.

After a fierce battle, these Jin army cavalry were completely annihilated, but the cavalry of the Qinglong Empire, seven or eight people were also seriously injured, this is because of Li Zhong, a congenital master, who helped in time when he saw that these soldiers were in danger, otherwise these soldiers would be completely killed by the crazy counterattack of those Jin soldiers before they died.

After personally experiencing the combat effectiveness of these Jin soldiers with strong perseverance and high morale, Li Zhong finally understood why the powerful Great Liao Kingdom would also be destroyed by this Jin Kingdom in just a few years.

Because many soldiers in the team were injured of varying degrees of severity, Li Zhong did not continue to reconnoiter outside, but quickly returned to the large army, and reported all the details of his fight with those golden soldiers to Ye Tianlong.

After Ye Tianlong listened to Li Zhong's report, he couldn't help but be glad that he attached great importance to these golden soldiers, otherwise, if he brought too few soldiers and horses, he would really be defeated in the face of those fierce golden soldiers.

And just when Ye Tianlong led the army and began to approach Taiyuan City little by little, the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Aguta, quickly deduced that there should be enemy reinforcements arriving through the fact that a scout light cavalry did not return today.

In order to confirm his judgment, Wanyan Aguta quickly dispatched more than 3,000 cavalry, divided into ten teams, and probed in the direction that the missing scout light cavalry was responsible for investigating today.

After this large area of Jin cavalry was scattered, the army led by Ye Tianlong had nothing to hide, and it was soon discovered by the Jin people.

Ye Tianlong saw that his whereabouts had been exposed, so he no longer hid, and led the army to swagger quickly towards the Jin army.

And Wanyan Aguta also quickly assembled his troops at this time and prepared to fight.

In the siege battle in the previous few days, the Jin army suffered more than 40,000 casualties, so at this time, the Jin army only had more than 250,000 troops left. However, the most elite of the Jin soldiers, the 5,000 Tiefutu heavy cavalry, are still there, and this heavy cavalry force can be said to be the absolute main force of the Jin army.

However, after really seeing the army of the Blue Dragon Empire, Wanyan Aguta was also the first time that he did not have that absolute certainty of the victory in the battle.

It's no wonder that Yan Agu is not confident, it's really that the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Empire are too luxurious, like those cavalry and archers are all wearing thick Mingguang armor, as for those infantry, most of them are equipped with steel plate armor, among which those elite heavy infantry are equipped with special heavy full-body plate armor, the average thickness of the armor has reached the level of five millimeters, and it looks like an iron can. In addition to the luxurious equipment, the strength of these heavy infantry has also reached the level of dark power warriors, so they can wear such heavy armor to fight.

In addition, the heavy cavalry troops of the Qinglong Empire are also fully armoured, and their equipment is more luxurious than the Tiefutu heavy cavalry of the Jin Kingdom.

Although he was a little panicked in his heart, he didn't show it at all, but took the initiative to attack the enemy.

With his order, 10,000 abducted horse lancers and 20,000 archers launched a charge against the army of the Blue Dragon Empire.

The abducted horse of the Jin country is a kind of knight armor, but the war horse does not have the shock cavalry in armor, although the combat effectiveness is not as good as the Tiefutu heavy cavalry, but its combat power should not be underestimated, after all, this Tiefutu heavy cavalry is the ace army of the Jin country, it is impossible to dispatch often, in many battles with the Liao State before, the person responsible for charging as the main force is actually these abduction horse lancers.

As for those archers, the composition is even more complicated, there are very few real Jurchen people in them, and most of them are actually Xi, Khitan and Mongol and the like.

The cavalry archers were also poorly equipped, with most of them wearing only a rudimentary piece of armor, and most of their melee weapons were only a short spear or scimitar, and perhaps their most valuable equipment was their bow and arrow.

When the Jin people used to fight with the Liao State, they liked to send these cannon fodder archers to shoot arrows at the enemy's large array, once the enemy's formation was flawed under the attack of the arrow rain, those crutched horse lancers who followed closely behind the archers would immediately launch a surprise attack on it, completely crushing the enemy's large array.

In the past, the Jin people relied on this trick to be said to have tried a hundred things, and many enemies were defeated by them by relying on this set of tactics.

Therefore, this time, he also wanted to use this set of tactics that he was more familiar with, and first test the enemy army in front of him.

If the army of the Blue Dragon Empire is only well-equipped, but its own combat power is very stretched, then he will decisively press the whole army and completely defeat this army.

At that time, he can capture a large number of sophisticated weapons and armor from the enemy, and when they are equipped, the combat power of the Jin army under his command will at least double.

And just when the two armies outside the city were about to break out into a big battle, the defenders and generals in Taiyuan City were arguing about whether they should go out of the city to help the battle.

These days, Taiyuan City is carrying the strong attack of the Jin army, although the city is defended, but its own casualties are not small, the most important thing is that the defenders need to fight day and night with the attacking Jin army, at this time they are very tired, and the combat effectiveness has decreased greatly.

Therefore, like Hu Sanniang, they all feel that they should continue to hold on to the city, and they can't rashly go out of the city to help the war, after all, there are a lot of cavalry of the Jin soldiers, once they let these tired soldiers out of the city at this time, it is likely that the Jin army will seize the opportunity to be severely injured or even completely annihilated.

And a guy like Lu Zhishen, who is eager to make meritorious contributions, feels that he should immediately go out of the city to help in the war, and his reason is very simple, that is, he thinks that the army led by Ye Tianlong is completely enough to hold back the Jin army, and he will not let the other party have a chance to divide troops to attack them at all. After they leave the city, they can go straight to the rear of the golden soldiers, and attack their main army on both sides, so that they can quickly and completely defeat these golden soldiers.

Shi Wengong sat there and quietly listened to the arguments between the two sides before he opened his mouth and made his own decision.

"The general thinks that it would be good for us to defend Taiyuan City, after all, this has been fighting fiercely with the Jin soldiers for so many days, and the soldiers are indeed very tired, and it is likely that there will be heavy casualties when going out of the city to participate in the battle at this time!"

When Lu Zhishen heard Shi Wengong's decision, he couldn't help but feel very disappointed, after all, he joined the Blue Dragon Empire too late, and now even a street performer like Li Zhong has climbed to his head in his position, if he doesn't hurry up and make more contributions, he will probably be pressed by these guys forever.

Shi Wengong saw Lu Zhishen's face change, and he could see what the other party was thinking at a glance, so he opened his mouth to comfort: "Brother Lu, there are still many places to make meritorious contributions in the future!" You don't have to be in a hurry, you must know that if you want to hurry, you will not be able to reach it! ”

Although he was comforting the other party, Shi Wengong was gloating in his heart: If you didn't come earlier, Your Majesty has sent people to invite you more than once, but you just don't look down on our little Blue Dragon Empire! I regret it now, it's too late! Like me, I saw early on that the future of the Blue Dragon Empire was very good, so the other party sent someone to invite him over, and now he has become the absolute high-level of the Blue Dragon Empire.
