Chapter 128: Born to be a General (2)
The morale of the Jin army was greatly boosted, and while struggling to kill the enemy, they shouted loudly: "Xiao Yuanchu is dead! Xiao Yuanchu is dead!"
In the blink of an eye, the news of the beheading of the enemy general Xiao Yuanchu spread throughout the Jin army on the entire city wall, and also reached the ears of the Khitan servant army who were besieging the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The soldiers of the Khitan servant army didn't believe it at first, but when they turned their heads, they found that Xiao Yuanchu's banner had indeed arrived, and only a corpse was left in the original position, and the head of their own chief was also poked on the tip of the gun, and the soldiers and horses behind were spreading their legs and fleeing back, and they immediately panicked, how could they still have the heart to attack the city?
Even those brave soldiers who were about to climb the city wall jumped down one after another, regardless of how high the city wall was, hoping that there would be a chance to escape, but they broke their legs and broke their heads, and some even happened to be pierced through the stomach by the erected blades, and they were unwilling to die.
In an instant, the entire battle line collapsed, and the Khitan servant army was routed like a tide.
The gates of Xinzhou City are slowly rising, and obviously, the soldiers and horses in Xinzhou City are ready to attack.
The mad monk grabbed Li Fengyun and shouted: "Silly boy, don't kill, it's important to chase the deserters now, remember, only drive behind them, kill the enemy soldiers who fall behind, and force them to flee forward without their lives, but don't really kill among them, this trick is called 'inverted bead curtain', remember!"
Li Fengyun happily agreed, and led all the heroes to drive away the rout of the Khitan servant army.
At this time, Liu Zhiyuan's elite cavalry and Khitan iron cavalry, who were killing each other, were also alarmed.
Seeing the scene of 10,000 people being defeated like a mountain, the four or five thousand Khitan iron horsemen were shocked, they had only seen this situation in the enemy's army, but they did not expect to appear on the invincible Khitan iron horsemen, and for a while their minds were lost, and the formation was chaotic.
And Liu Zhiyuan's elite cavalry was just the opposite, seeing this situation, the morale was greatly boosted, the combat power rose sharply, and the situation was reversed for a while, and the Khitan iron cavalry that was killed retreated one after another.
"Knock knock knock", the war drums in Liu Zhiyuan's army formation sounded, and the 30,000 army moved, and rows of foot soldiers lined up in a neat battle formation, slowly moving towards the Khitan cavalry array. Obviously, Liu Zhiyuan had discovered the abnormal situation here, refused to let go of this opportunity, and led the whole army to attack.
The jack gate of the east gate of Xinzhou City finally rose a small half, and the impatient cavalry in the city rushed out of the city gate under the leadership of several generals, and killed the defeated Khitan cavalry, the number of cavalry was not much, less than a thousand horses, but it killed the majesty of ten thousand horses.
Followed by thousands of foot soldiers, it seems that the defenders of Xinzhou City are also out of the way, and victory or defeat is here.
"What's going on, what's going on?" "The commander of the Western Route Army, the Great King Yelu Anduan, who was watching the battle in front of the battle, jumped like thunder, "What did Xiao Yuanchu, this stupid pig, do, was actually killed and defeated!"
"King Jerod, retreat into the formation, it's dangerous here!" the surrounding generals shouted.
The guards around him also grabbed Yelu Anduan and wanted to pull him into the formation.
"This king doesn't go! This king doesn't believe it, I, Yelu Anduan, will be defeated in the hands of the little Liu Zhiyuan!" Yelu Anduan shook his arms, trying to break free from the pull of his personal guards, but unfortunately, he is old and no longer the courage of the year, this struggle did not break free, and was forcibly pulled into the army by everyone.
The defeated servant army is getting closer and closer, don't these pig-like servant armies know that such a stupid rush will break up the formation?
After withdrawing into the military formation, Yelu Anduan took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and ordered: "Order the soldiers, those who dare to rush into the battle, there will be no mercy!"
"Those who dare to rush into battle will be killed!" shouted the 30,000 Khitan iron horsemen.
The defeated servant soldiers were stunned for a moment, they had not been trained by the Khitan iron cavalry, and they did not know what to do in the event of a rout. No, I can't stop, I don't believe that the old boy will really raise the butcher's knife.
Almost instantly, the defeated servant army made up its mind, ignoring the warning of the Khitan iron cavalry, and rushed straight towards the Khitan battle array.
"Shoot!" The Khitan generals in front of the battle did not hesitate at all, and shouted loudly, they knew very well what the consequences would be if they were overwhelmed by these nearly 10,000 people, and those routs were just some servant troops, not their own clan at all, and they would be killed if they were killed, anyway, these people would be consumed sooner or later.
"Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" ......
What kind of scene is it for 30,000 eagle feathers to shoot in a salvo, Li Fengyun finally saw the real rain of arrows, it was like a large field of locusts, the sky was dark, it was a locust that took people's lives and took people's souls, fortunately, the locusts did not come towards them.
The loess was like a seedling planted, densely packed with arrows, and the defeated Khitan servants were immediately shot down.
Everyone was stunned, Yeluan was really ruthless, wasn't he afraid of being pointed at by a thousand people?
A Khitan servant army chief knelt down in front of the battle and cried loudly: "King Yelu, don't shoot, it's me, it's me......"
"Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" ......
Another deadly locust swooped down, and the chief fell in a pool of blood, with no less than a hundred arrows stuck in his body.
The defeated army of servants woke up, and all sorts of voices rang out, from the curses of the angry, the cries of the desperate, and the groans of the wounded......
"Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" ......
Another rain of arrows flew over, and the routs finally understood that Yeluan would never let him go.
Finally, a smart person found that the two sides of the large array were not covered by the rain of arrows, and immediately pulled out their legs and ran towards both sides.
Someone has the first, there will be a second, a third......
Soon, everyone discovered the secret and fled to both sides.
Li Fengyun wanted to step forward to intercept and kill, but was pulled by the crazy monk: "Silly boy, it's useless, if you rush up, they will drown you, and if you don't do it, they will trample you into pulp, and the crazy horses have no reason at all." Let's go and kill the four or five thousand Khitan cavalry, which is a big piece of meat, which is much more appetizing than the defeat of these remnants of the defeated army who have lost their courage. ”
Li Fengyun heard the mad monk say this, how could he object, and led the heroes to kill the cavalry that was fighting with Liu Zhiyuan's fine cavalry.
It's strange to say, seeing that Li Fengyun turned his head to kill the cavalry, the cavalry from Xinzhou City also turned their horses' heads one after another, followed Li Fengyun and others to kill the Khitan iron cavalry, and the foot soldiers who followed them also immediately turned around, regardless of the formation, and slaughtered the Khitan iron cavalry in a chaotic manner.
Seeing that the defeated army was not able to impact the formation of the chaotic Khitan army, Liu Zhiyuan's foot soldiers stopped less than two hundred steps away from the Khitan army's formation, and one after another strong crossbows were pushed to the front of the formation, and one after another crossbow arrows were shot at the Khitan iron cavalry in the array, setting off a wave of blood in the dense crowd.
"King, please give the order to attack, let my Khitan iron cavalry teach those southern barbarians a lesson with scimitars and horses' hooves!" a general shouted with red eyes.
"It's useless!" said Yeluan, who was completely calm, "The morale of our army has fallen, and the morale of the enemy army is booming, and if we attack at this time, our army will definitely be defeated, and this defeat is the fault of this king, not yours." Withdraw your troops!"
The horn of "Woo~Woo~" sounded, and the Khitan iron cavalry that was caught between Li Fengyun and the Jin army finally breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew from the battle in an orderly manner, and those foot soldiers without formation really couldn't stop them. However, at this time, no less than 2,000 corpses of Khitan iron horsemen were left on the battlefield.
As for the more people who were shot dead by the Khitans themselves, three volleys, at least 3,000 Khitan servants and soldiers were shot to death, and there were more wounded people, and the number of people who could withdraw into the Khitan army was less than 5,000, and many people were trampled to death by the panicked rout.
"Yelu Anduan deserves to be the Khitan general! In this case, he can also stabilize the morale of the army, which is amazing!" Looking at the slowly retreating Khitan army, the mad monk high-fived and praised.
Bai Futong and She Pocai nodded silently, only Li Fengyun said angrily: "This guy is ruthless enough, and he can do it himself!"
"Ci is not in charge of the army!" the mad monk said lightly, not too disapproving, and added, "The strength of the Khitans has not lost much, if you want to ask for reinforcements, you must defeat Yelu Anduan." It is not easy to defeat this old wolf on the grassland.
At the beginning, the great monk also fought with him twice, and in the case of superior troops, a small defeat and a small victory, the big monk was still inferior to him. (Note 1)
