Yelu Deguang also frowned, the determination of the Jin army to resist is very strong! The morale is also very high. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info experienced generals who command battles, know where to use what weapons can inflict maximum damage on attackers, and it is difficult to deal with.

He didn't care about the lives of the three thousand servant soldiers, these people always had to be consumed anyway, otherwise, their tribe would gradually grow and threaten the Khitans.

This is the case with the grassland, the wolf king of the grassland, in order to maintain his position, will bite and bite those wolves that threaten his status. As the rulers of the steppe, the Khitans are the same, but whenever they have the opportunity, the Khitans will try to weaken the power of other tribes in the steppe.

When necessary, he even mobilized the army of the leather chamber to carry out large-scale hunting and forcibly reduced the mouths of other tribes.

This is the tradition of the steppe, the will of the immortal heaven, when the Huns dominated the steppe, they did it when they dominated the steppe, and the Turks did it when they dominated the steppe, and now that the Khitans have risen, there is no reason not to do it.

With a wave of his bare hand, another army of three thousand servants rushed out.

The servants became wiser, and the men in charge of transporting the wooden ladders were protected by layers of heavy wooden shields, knowing that if they did not put their cloth shields on top of the trench, even if they rushed in front of the trench, they would be shot like hedgehogs.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang" was another rapid burst of bed crossbow fire, setting off a wave of blood in the crowded crowd. The groans of the dead, the screams of the seriously wounded, and the screams and curses of the survivors were intertwined, and the entire battlefield was filled with a strong bloody atmosphere.

Torrential rains fell, and the men on the battlefield became thinner.

Yelu Deguang shook his head and asked Yelu Tiande, who was standing on the side: "Third brother, if it were you, how would you plan to break through this defense?" He saw that there seemed to be a flash of light in Yelu Tiande's eyes, and he knew that this third brother must have an idea in his heart.

"Charge with the horses, set the tails of the horses on fire, fill the trench with the carcasses of the horses, fill up the horses, and the army will follow them into the camp of the enemy. ”

Yerod's eyes lit up, although the battlefield was densely covered with traps, most of the places were already covered with corpses. At this time, if you drive the horses to attack, it is very likely that the trench will be filled.

Yerod immediately ordered people to prepare, there is no shortage of war horses on the grassland, but there is a shortage of brave warriors.

The call for withdrawal was sounded, and the remaining servants, who were in vain on the battlefield and were dying, were overjoyed and fled back to their own formation, and the second group of 3,000 men, less than 1,000 could escape.

In other words, in the two attacks just now, more than 5,000 servant troops have arrived on this battlefield.

The bright red blood has already stained the entire slope of the earth red, and the land will surely grow even more crops in the coming year.

There should also be a limit to the consumption of the servant army, and the next battle still needs these servant troops to go up and fight hard, and they cannot be consumed all at once. That would be a serious demoralization blow to the servants.

More than two thousand war horses were concentrated, the tails of the first batch of one thousand war horses were ignited, and the scorching stinging sensation made the horses go crazy and frantically rushed towards the camp of the Jin army.

Then, the tails of the second batch of more than 1,000 war horses were ignited, and the 1,000 war horses neighed wildly, following the previous batch of war horses and rushing to the Jin army camp.

Seeing the Khitans pulling out two thousand war horses, Guo Wei immediately realized what the Khitans were going to do.

Originally, Du Chongwei was also going to dig another fire ditch in front of the rejection of the horse, but the time was too tight to prevent the Khitans from attacking in this way, but unfortunately the time was too late, so he gave up. And this method can only be used once, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Before rejecting the horse, a firewood pile was set up at intervals, which was mainly used for night lighting to prevent the Khitan army from sneaking up at night. Doesn't do much to deal with a crazy herd of horses.

"The stone throwing cart is ready to throw fireballs!" Guo Wei ordered loudly, although this method could not guarantee that it would be able to prevent the Khitan horses, but the fireballs that exploded could also frighten the horses, at least some of the horses could be scattered.

"The archer throws a fireball of thistle terrestris (Note 1) and prepares for the fire (Note 2). Guo Wei shouted again.

These things don't have much effect, but they can also scare away some horses and prevent some horses from approaching.

Guo Wei looked back at the generals who were gearing up again, and said loudly: "In this battle, I'm afraid it will depend on everyone to fight the enemy bravely!"

Wang Chongyin said loudly: "What General Guo said, killing the enemy is what our generals should do. ”

Tribulus fireballs exploded on the northern slope, and countless tribulus terrestris were scattered around.

At this time, the horses of the Khitans had already rushed up.

Hundreds of crossbow arrows were fired, but it was a pity that the war horses that burned their butts ran too fast, and only dozens of them were really killed and injured, which was nothing to the huge herd of horses.

It was the fireballs thrown by the catapults, and the flying fire in the sky played a role. Hundreds of war horses were scattered, turned their heads and ran away from both sides regardless of the obstacles, or rushed straight towards the Khitan army formation, causing chaos for the Khitans.

However, most of the horses still rushed up the hillside, although many of them were injured by thistles, and their legs were broken by the pit, and they fell on the way to the charge.

However, more than 1,000 horses rushed to the edge of the trench, or fell into the trench and were stabbed to death by the dense bars, or crossed the trench but crashed to death on top of the horses.

However, the work of half a burnt incense, the corpses of more than 1,000 war horses filled in the trenches that the Jin army had worked so hard to arrange, and even damaged many rejected horses.

Liu Zhiyuan, who was on the viewing platform, shook his head and sighed: "The Khitans are really ruining the horses!" Everyone felt the same way and sighed. The lack of horses in the Central Plains makes it difficult to build a huge cavalry, which is also one of the weaknesses of the Central Plains army against the grassland rangers.

However, everything is used in war, Hugh said that horses, even people, sometimes have to be forced to hit the blade.

"Attention, the Khitan Tartars are coming up soon!" Guo Wei said loudly.

But it was not the Tartars who came up, but more than 1,000 ordinary people tied up by ropes, followed by more than 3,000 Khitan servants, slowly walking up the northern slope, and their ranks were also mixed with many unarmed ordinary people.

They wanted to use the common people of the Central Plains as a shield, and use the cover of the common people to kill the camp of the Jin army.

The heart-rending cries and pleadings made the soldiers of the Jin army moved.

The Khitans are ruthless enough, what should they do?

Guo Wei hesitated, once he ordered the slaughter of these people, the image of the benevolent man he had worked so hard to create would be ruined. In the future, he will definitely be impeached by those big turbans in the imperial court, and it will even affect Liu Zhiyuan.

If he didn't give the order, if he gave up the advantage of long-range weapons, many soldiers would pay the price of blood for his momentary kindness. Moreover, once this weakness is discovered by the Khitans, more people will be arrested. His mercy may kill many more people.

It was a multiple-choice question, but no one ever submitted a satisfactory answer.

Note 1: The Tribulus Fireball is a small powder bag with a rope in it, which contains thorny thistles, and after blasting, the thistles fly out and fall all over the road, stopping the enemy's soldiers and horses from advancing.

When using a rope, after igniting it, wave the rope and suddenly throw it with the help of inertia. It should have appeared in the late Tang and early Song dynasties, and this article assumes that it had already appeared in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Note 2: Flying fire, arrows tied to small gunpowder packets, should have appeared in the late Tang Dynasty, and were generally used to siege cities. Here, Guo Wei wants to use the flying fire to scare the horses.
