On the battlefield, when the iron cavalry and the Khitan iron cavalry met on the battlefield, the collision of swords, the neighing of war horses, and the shouts of soldiers converged into an earth-shattering symphony. After a night of fighting, they finally briefly repelled the enemy, and they retreated to their camp in an orderly manner, waiting for the next battle.

In Li Keyong's tent, the generals sat around the sand table, each with a solemn face, looking at Li Keyong with anxious eyes, waiting for his order.

Li Keyong stood in front of the sand table and pointed to the hills and plains on the sand table with the baton in his hand. His eyes were resolute, and his tone was sonorous: "The Khitan cavalry is good at quick attack, and we must use the terrain to contain their movements." ”

Li Cunqing stepped forward and asked, "General, how are the trenches and traps prepared?" ”

"Everything is going according to plan," replied Li Keyong, "the engineers have laid it out according to our requirements, and now it's time to test the results." ”

"Balistas and trebuchets are ready to be released when the enemy is in range." Li Cunguang, the general in charge of fire support, reported.

Li Keyong nodded, then turned to Cheng Ze: "Your light cavalry needs to quickly penetrate the Khitan army's line when it wavers, cutting off their retreat route. ”

Cheng Ze clenched his fists and agreed: "I understand, General, I will wait for the best time with my cavalry." ”

Li Keyong looked at the sand table again and took a deep breath: "Today, we not only want to defeat the Khitan, but also show the power of the Jin Kingdom. Each and every one of you represents the glory of the Jin Kingdom. ”

His gaze swept over each general, "Remember, the battlefield is unpredictable, and we must remain flexible and adaptable. Under my command, everyone is to be ready to strike at any time. ”

A staff officer came and said nervously: "General, the Khitan army has begun to move!" ”

Li Keyong's face showed the calmness of the fighter: "Okay, everyone, the time is up. Return to your ranks and wait for my orders. ”

The generals stood up one by one and responded in unison: "Follow the general's order!" ”

As the generals left, Li Keyong was the only one left in the tent, and he closed his eyes and meditated on the coming battle. When he opened his eyes again, the command for a decisive battle had already taken shape in his mind.

He stepped out of his tent and onto the observation platform, spear in hand, his gaze across the battlefield in front of him, looking directly at the enemy forces in the distance. He knew that every minute and every second would go down in history, and that every decision could change the course of history.

Finally, with the sound of his unwavering military trumpet, a well-planned counterattack began. This is the secret weapon of the Later Jin army - thousands of ironclad cavalry, who have been secretly assembled and waiting for the general's call. At the signal of the military horn, these well-armed elite forces began their show.

These ironclad cavalrymen wore heavy armor made of iron, each of which had been tempered countless times in a furnace to withstand both powerful shocks and glitter with terrifying brilliance in the sun. Their horses were also covered in iron armor, leaving only their eyes and nostrils to get the necessary sight and breath. When the heavy cavalry began to charge, the whole battlefield seemed to tremble.

The horses of the ironclad cavalry roared like thunder as they ran. The soldiers were armed with spears, the tips of which drew a trail of death in the charge. Their goal was clear - the core of the Khitan army, where the commanders and elite units of the Khitan army were gathered. Like a torrent of steel, the ironclad cavalry launched a deadly assault on the Khitan defensive line.

The Khitan defense line was vulnerable under this sudden blow. The spear forest of the ironclad cavalry is like a forest, and the dazzling iron armor reflects a dazzling light in the sun, making people dare not look directly. They broke through the first line of defense of the Khitan army and routed the enemy. The Khitan warriors resisted bravely, but under the iron armor, their swords seemed unable to find fatal gaps.

At the same time, the infantry of the Later Jin Dynasty also rose forward from the defensive positions under the command of Li Keyong, and they lined up in a dense phalanx and advanced with firm steps. These infantrymen had learned how to work with the cavalry after a long period of training, and their spears stabbed forward, creating an impassable forest of steel.

The attack of the Later Jin army was like a tidal wave, and the coordinated operation of infantry and cavalry threw the Khitan army into chaos. The Khitan archers tried to stop the advance of the Later Jin army with their arrows, but with their hard iron armor and tight protection, it was difficult for the arrows to deal effective damage. Cracks began to appear in the Khitan army's defensive line under constant pressure, and the fighters began to retreat under the blow of morale.

After a while, the Khitan cavalry charged at an astonishing speed, and their war horses galloped like thunder, kicking up billowing dust, and approaching the front line of the Later Jin Dynasty. Crossbow arrows streaked through the air in deadly arcs, and boulders from trebuchets left shadows in the air, followed by a deafening crash. The first wave of the Khitan army suffered heavy losses under the mechanical crossbow fire of the Later Jin army.

However, the Khitans were not discouraged. They quickly adjusted their tactics and changed formations in an attempt to find weaknesses in the back-up defence. Their light cavalry dispersed and attempted to encircle the Later Jin army from both flanks, while the heavy cavalry held on to strength, waiting for an opportunity to launch another decisive assault.

Observing the battlefield calmly, Vick did not immediately order a counterattack, but waited patiently, directing the ballista and trebuchet to inflict more damage on the enemy. His infantry phalanx was rock-solid and successfully withstood the repeated onslaught of the Khitan cavalry. Spears and broadswords glittered in the sun, and each Later Jin soldier became a strong bulwark against foreign invasions.

The battle lasted several hours, and the armies on both sides showed great tenacity in their will to fight. After several unsuccessful assaults, the Khitan cavalry began to show fatigue. And this is exactly the moment that Li Keyong is waiting for. He ordered the ironclad heavy cavalry and elite infantry to prepare for a surprise attack, and they would be the decisive force in this battle.

Li Ke's military horn cut through the hustle and bustle of the battlefield, and the crisp sound was like thunder from the sky, announcing the change of the tide of battle. Thousands of heavy cavalry in iron armor moved in response, dressed in iron armor, like a moving Great Wall of steel, armed with spears and broadswords, reflecting the cold light in the sun. The iron hooves crushed the shield of gunsmoke, as if an invisible force was pushing them, and their charge was like a black tide, pressing inexorably towards the core of the Khitan army.

The Khitan defense line began to crumble under the impact of the heavy cavalry, and the force of the war horse's collision was so great that any force that tried to block it was like paper paste and was easily torn. The heavy cavalry were like swords on the battlefield of ancient times, like icebreakers, carving a path to victory. Their horse armor shone brightly, and their swords swung as the enemy's array fell like a wheat field after harvest.

At the same time, the infantry of the Later Jin Dynasty also turned from a fierce battle to an active attack with an almost brute force determination. At this moment, they were no longer silent defenders, but turned into battering rams, trying to destroy the last shred of resistance of the enemy. Covered by ballistas and trebuchets, their spears were like sharp knives stabbed in the forest, and with each further step, the front line of the battlefield followed their footsteps.

The shouts of the soldiers, the neighing of the horses, and the collision of metal equipment converge into a symphony of war. Each soldier is not alone, they are a group carefully commanded by Li Keyong, and his tactical intentions are perfectly displayed on the battlefield. Their steps were firm, and every shock sowed fear in the hearts of the Khitans.

The dust on the battlefield was kicked up, obscuring the sky and the sun, but the morale of the Later Jin army was like the sun that never ended, shining brightly. Li Keyong's command art was vividly displayed on this battlefield, he not only maintained the discipline and calmness of the army, but also led them to find the light of victory in the chaos.

The performance of the Khitan army on the battlefield was astounding. Known as the cheetahs of the steppe, their light cavalry carried out swift and cunning raids on enemy formations with lightning speed. After encountering the initial defense of the Later Jin army, the Khitans did not choose to retreat directly, but quickly carried out tactical adjustments on the battlefield, which showed their high adaptability and battlefield adaptability as nomads.

With the sound of the horn, the Khitan light cavalry began to disperse in formation, and they were like scattered wolves, avoiding the obstacles of the thistles and trenches laid by the Later Jin army, and launched a roundabout encirclement from both flanks. Their horses are carefully selected and trained to be extremely fast, but they are also able to navigate difficult terrain with ease, even in front of man-made obstacles.

The movements of the Khitan cavalry were coordinated and precise, as if there was an invisible telepathy between each knight and his warhorse. They took advantage of the phalanx of the Later Jin army and the range of mechanical crossbows to skillfully display the tactics they had honed on the grassland. The Khitan archers leaned on horseback, and their arrows poured down wave after wave like meteors in the night sky.

At the same time, the Khitan heavy cavalry reorganized in the rear, wearing heavy armor and armed with spears and battle axes, ready to launch a thunderous attack after the light cavalry caused chaos. Their horses are selected from the most robust breeds of the grassland, which can carry heavy armor and maintain amazing impact even after long runs.

The Khitan commanders were condescending at one end of the battlefield, their eyes as sharp as birds of prey, constantly observing the situation on the battlefield, looking for any flaws in the defensive line of the Later Jin army. Their command flags fluttered in the wind, conveying complex but methodical orders, and the cavalry reacted immediately, like a well-trained elite force, which needed no more words to understand the commander's intentions.

The Later Jin army's defensive line did show some fatigue after several shocks, the soldiers' breathing became rapid, and the grip of shields and spears was no longer so steady. And these subtle changes did not escape the eyes of the Khitan generals, who keenly captured this information. So, at a carefully chosen moment, the Khitan war drums roared again, and the heavy cavalry launched a comprehensive assault from both flanks and the front line against the Later Jin defense line like black lightning.

The battlefield is a chaotic and brutal picture, with smoke and gore intertwined. The air was filled with the sound of metal crashing, the sonorous sound of iron armor and swords colliding, which echoed in the ears of every soldier as if death were playing the final song of their lives. The cries of the soldiers form the backdrop of the painting, some of which are the battle cries of valiant and others the groans of pain after being wounded. The neighing of horses is the most heartbreaking melody of this symphony of war, as loyal creatures are frightened, wounded, and even collapsed in the flames of war.

The impact of the Khitans was extremely amazing, and their cavalry tried to drown the soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty again and again like wild waves. Every charge made the defense line of the Later Jin crumbling, and every retreat was accompanied by the smell of blood and mud. The soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty tried their best to resist these raging waves, and the sound of the impact on the shields and the scratches on the armor all spoke of their tenacity and unyieldingness. Their arms were sore from holding their shields, their shoulders were tired from swinging their swords, but everyone's eyes flashed with determination not to back down.

Under the strict command of Li Keyong, the Later Jin army still maintained a firm defensive line. In his tactical layout, the infantry phalanx was as solid as a rock, and even the impact of the Khitan cavalry was difficult to shake. They are like iron towers fixed to the earth, unshaken by the wind and waves. Protected by trenches and obstacles, the Khitan cavalry lost their advantage in moving at high speeds, which they were best at, and were forced to slow down and even stall in front of stakes and thistles, which gave the Later Jin army the opportunity to launch a counterattack using ballistas and trebuchets.

The large ballista resembles the longbow of death, and each string pull heralds a death harvest. The trebuchet is like an angry giant, throwing boulders that cut a terrifying arc through the air, and the devastating blow of the fall is enough to shatter a warrior in an instant.

Under Li Ke's baton, the Later Jin army was like an elaborate war machine, with every part running with precision. He constantly patrolled the battle line, issued orders from time to time, adjusted the troops, and ensured the stability of the defensive line. Guided by his tactical vision and experience, the Later Jin army not only resisted the storms of the Khitans, but also gradually took the initiative on the battlefield, tilting the balance of war in their favor.

When night fell again, Li Keyong stood on the ruined battlefield, his heart full of mixed emotions. He was pleased with the victory, but equally saddened by the loss of life and the cruelty of war. He knew that although the battle was over, he still had a long way to go in his quest for peace and stability.

At this time, the Khitans suddenly attacked again, and just when the Later Jin army seemed to have the upper hand and the Khitan army's defense line was in jeopardy, the Khitans showed their unpredictable fighting instinct as warriors on the grassland. They never give up and are able to find an opportunity to fight back even in the most unfavorable situations.

The wolves of the steppe know that even if they retreat, they will leave a fatal blow.

Hidden in the smoke and dust of the battlefield, an elite Khitan force that had not yet participated in the previous frontal conflict, they were the personal guards of the Khitan king, proficient in various tactics, and at this moment they received new orders. Instead of choosing to fight head-on, they adopted the tactics of a roundabout sneak attack, taking advantage of the chaos on the battlefield to try to go around the flank or rear of the Later Jin army, looking for the weak points of the Later Jin army to launch a surprise attack.

This group of Khitan cavalry quickly advanced along the edge of the battlefield with lightning speed, avoiding the main sight of the Later Jin army. They dodged the range of large ballistas and trebuchets and searched for unnoticed crevices, targeting the command center or logistics line of the Later Jin army, where the defenses were relatively weak.

The Khitan cavalry moved smoothly, using the terrain and corpses on the battlefield to cover their tracks, shuttling around the battlefield like ghosts, and their target, the headquarters of the Later Jin army and the supply of grain and grass, if successful, would deal a fatal blow to the Later Jin army.

The sentries of the Later Jin Dynasty quickly sensed the unusual movement, but due to the extremely fast speed of the Khitan cavalry, the Khitans were already close to their target by the time the information was transmitted to Li Keyong. Li Ke reacted quickly, ordering a part of the heavy cavalry and infantry to quickly turn around and meet the sudden sneak attack.

At the other end of the battlefield, the dust had just settled, and the heavy cavalry and infantry of the Later Jin Dynasty had not had time to breathe, when suddenly, a sneak attack of the Khitan cavalry suddenly appeared like a ghost in the night. They quietly approached under the cover of night and the terrain, and then, the iron horses collided like meteors to tear through the tranquility ahead, and the confrontation unfolded quickly and inadvertently.

The heavy cavalry quickly turned, and in the face of the rushing Khitan cavalry, the charge of the two armies took place almost instantaneously. The sound of the clash between the ironclad soldiers and the Khitan cavalry was deafening, it was a metallic symphony that shook the heart, and in the clash of iron and iron, sparks splashed everywhere, as if every contact could wipe out a short day. The impact of the heavily armored war horses was powerful, and their collision with each other was like the collision of two huge waves, and the sound was amazing.

The infantry quickly organized their defenses after a brief period of confusion. They swung their spears and stabbed out fierce storms, trying to stop the Khitan cavalry's momentum again and again. The infantry phalanx was like a towering ancient tree in the forest, as solid as a rock, and they used their long weapons to play a role in the narrow space, thwarting the cavalry assault again and again.

Although the surprise attack of the Khitan cavalry was fierce, the return defense of the Later Jin army was equally swift and powerful. The ironclads showed extraordinary combat effectiveness in the conflict, they were not afraid of sacrifice, and fought the enemy at close range, and every sword strike condensed all their strength. During the charge, the screams of horses, the battle cries of soldiers, and the echoes of metal strikes mingle into a tragic symphony.

This unexpected confrontation once again turned this local area into a purgatory of war. The smell of blood and sweat mixed with the smell of earth filled the breath of every warrior. The faces of the warriors were covered with blood and dust, but their eyes were unusually determined, and they were unyielding in their desire for victory. In this melee that was almost hand-to-hand, the discipline and courage of the Later Jin army were once again severely tested, but under Li Keyong's strong will and precise command, each of them became a hero to protect the country.

Although the Later Jin army was attacked by surprise, they did not fall into chaos under the leadership of Li Keyong. They quickly organized an effective defense, coordinated with their infantry and cavalry, and tried to defuse the surprise attack of the Khitan cavalry.

In this new area of warfare, the brutal aesthetics of war are on full display. Although the surprise attack of the Khitan cavalry was unexpected, the shocked Later Jin army reacted quickly. The experienced generals gave orders well, and the experienced soldiers, with excellent military training and fearless courage, quickly restored order to the army and stabilized the front line.

Amid the sound of the military trumpets of the Later Jin army, the ironclad heavy cavalry and infantry changed their formations in unison to adapt to the changes in the battlefield. The heavy cavalry steadily inserted their heavy spears into the ground, forming an impregnable Great Wall of human flesh, waiting for the Khitan cavalry to charge again. The infantry were closely surrounded by heavy cavalry, their spears like arrows in the woods, ready to shoot through any enemy who dared to approach them.

The charge of the Khitan cavalry was indeed full of savage power, and every impact seemed like it wanted to tear the earth apart. However, the response of the Later Jin army was even more ruthless, their iron armor shining with cold light, taking the lives of their enemies with every swing. Iron swords and spears danced on the battlefield, and each stab became a messenger to take away the souls of the Khitan warriors.

The smoke and blood mist on the battlefield became thicker, and every breath felt like inhaling the smell of death. The soldiers' armor was stained red with blood, but their eyes burned with the fire of war, which was the desire for victory and the persistence of life. Under the guidance of the commander, the Later Jin army used its dense formation and hard armor to effectively resist the surprise attack of the Khitan cavalry, and every charge consumed the strength and morale of the Khitans.

At the same time, the crossbowmen and archers of the Later Jin army supported in the rear, and the rain of arrows cut through the deadly arcs in mid-air, causing great damage to the Khitan cavalry. Each arrow is like carrying the command of death, accurately searching for the target, and ruthlessly harvesting life.

As the battle continued, the offensive of the Khitan cavalry gradually weakened, and the Later Jin army seized the opportunity and began to launch a counterattack. Inspired by the bugles, they regained their strength like inflated dragons. The infantry and cavalry cooperated more tacitly, and they began to advance in an orderly manner, firmly holding the initiative on the battlefield in their own hands. In this tug-of-war, the Later Jin army showed their indomitable fighting spirit and superb tactical literacy, and constantly dealt heavy blows to the Khitan cavalry.

The scales of war seem to be tipping again, but this time they are moving closer to the Later Jin forces, who have shown stubborn resistance and excellent resilience. The Khitans' sneak attack failed to destroy the Later Jin chain of command as they had hoped, but instead left them in a passive position.

The night covered the battlefield like a heavy curtain, and the weary soldiers entrusted their fate to the darkness, hoping to regain the power lost by the day in their dreams. Suddenly, the tranquility was pierced by a hurried call, and heavy footsteps sounded outside the big tent, followed by a hoarse and urgent announcement: "Report - someone outside the door asks to see the handsome Li Keyong!" ”

Li Keyong, the commander on the battlefield, has an iron mind and a weave of strategy, and his tent is like a lighthouse in the fog of war. Inside the big tent, in the dim light, Li Keyong was discussing the battle with his generals, analyzing the movements of the Khitan army, and every decision could be the key to tomorrow's victory.

Hearing the call from outside, Li Ke raised his eyebrows slightly, his intuition was extremely sharp due to years of experience in the war. Several possibilities popped into his mind: it might be a scout who brought the latest news about the enemy; Or a messenger with anxious information; Or maybe it's an unusual incident that he needs to deal with immediately.

"Let him in!" Li Ke commanded in a deep voice, and the majesty emanating from his body made the people around him instantly solemn. Following his order, the guards moved quickly, the tent's curtains lifted, and a night wind poured into the tent with the smell of earth and the sulphur smell of the fires in the distance of the battlefield.

The figure outside the door became clearer in the candlelight, a hurried messenger, his ragged clothes and dusty. Obviously, he had overcome many obstacles and made it to this place in desperation. His eyes flashed with eagerness and anxiety, and his gasps carried the news that was urgently waiting to be delivered.

The messenger knelt at the entrance of the tent, bowed deeply to Like, and eagerly pulled a sealed letter from his bosom. Even in the darkness of the night and the light, the wax on the letter could still be seen with traces of the seal that had just been sealed, highlighting the urgency and importance of the information.

Li Keyong took the letter, his calm gaze swept over the messenger. His movements were slow but forceful, and he carefully opened the seal. All eyes were on the letter, as if it carried the fate of war. Li Keyong scanned the contents of the letter, and as his gaze moved, the atmosphere inside the tent became more solemn.

Once again, the time to make a decision arrives, and Lick faces the challenge of being a general—how to use this sudden information to point his army in the direction of tomorrow and decide on the next tactical change. On this night, the battle broke out again, but in any case, the military advisor already had a plan in his heart, and his army was ready to meet the horn of dawn at any time.

In this historical moment of constant strife, intelligence and espionage often determine the course of warfare. The messenger outside the big tent used by Li Ke was the eyeliner personally sent by Cheng Ze, and the secret letter in his hand was an important chess piece on the battlefield, which could change the balance of the entire battle.

As the night deepened, the respite from the war gave people a moment of tranquility, but for Chengze, it was a critical moment in the layout. He lurks behind enemy lines, gathering the movement of enemy forces at all times, and every small change can become the key to victory in the war. When he learns of a crucial piece of information through his network of spies, he knows he must act immediately to get the news into the hands of Li Keyong.

To ensure the safe transmission of information, Cheng Ze chose a reliable messenger who was loyal, resourceful, and familiar with the terrain, able to move through the Khitan and Later Jin under close surveillance. The messenger had traveled long distances, avoided enemy patrols, and finally reached Rich's tent in the darkness of night.

His appearance was not accidental, but a part of Cheng Ze's careful planning. The Courier knew that what he had in his hands was not just an ordinary letter, but a secret message that could change the tide of battle. This information is not easy to come by, and behind it is the long-term collection and planning of Cheng Ze and his spy network.

Li Keyong unfolded the letter, only to see that the handwriting was urgent, but the content was extremely detailed, describing the internal dynamics of the Khitan army, even including the discord between the enemy generals, and the key weaknesses that might affect future warfare. The accuracy and importance of the information immediately attracted Li Keyong's great attention.

After carefully analyzing this secret report, Li Keyong's face showed a thoughtful look. He knew that this war was like a game of chess, every move had to be made with precision, and this secret report provided the information advantage he needed. He immediately gathered his staff and generals and, on the basis of this secret report, began to develop a new tactical plan.

In the next few hours, the tent used by Li Ke was brightly lit, and a strategic layout against the weaknesses of the Khitan army was quietly unfolding. The arrival of the Messenger was like an undercurrent, stirring up a strategic storm that could change the course of history. And on the chessboard of this war, Li Ke is ready with every chess piece in his hand, waiting for his orders, ready to turn the tide and tilt the balance of war.
