Murong Nobunaga's flying horse was rushing back. He called to the more than two hundred light armored cavalry that he could still command, and desperately got rid of the entangled light armored cavalry of the party.
At the same time, the infantry of Luo Yu'er Battalion in Hanhai Town, which was closest to Zhang Zhao's direction, was also approaching rapidly.
Luo Yu'er and Murong Nobunaga looked at each other and understood what the other meant.
Luo Yu'er placed the second battalion horizontally at the key entrance and exit near the salt pond, blocking Murong Nobunaga's party cavalry who were chasing Murong Nobunaga.
Murong Nobunaga was able to get rid of the pursuit smoothly and rushed to Zhang Zhao's location as quickly as possible.
From Murong Nobunaga's point of view, a conspicuous man in golden armor was surrounded by hundreds of party cavalry, and the situation was full of danger.
The old man was so frightened that he burst into anxious tears. He thought that Zhang Zhao was about to be killed by the Dangxiang cavalry, so he ignored the arrows shot at him and the horses whipping him.
In the midst of the chaotic party cavalry.
But just after knocking over the two of them, the mount was already exhausted from sprinting so far, and his front legs gave way and he fell down.
Murong Nobunaga, whose face was filled with mud and blood, rolled over, almost offsetting the inertia of his fall, and then immediately pulled out a pair of iron whips from the sides of his horse.
Xueli Yanchen blinked his big eyes twice and wanted to get up, but after struggling twice, he really had no strength left.
Murong Nobunaga glanced at the smoke and dust in the snow, then let out a loud roar and rushed over to meet three or four party members. They descended the mountain like tigers, and the iron whips were left behind.
Tuoba Chongde squinted one eye and led a dozen of the most powerful personal guards around behind Qiongre Duojin.
He swung the hammer in his hand and hit Qiongre Duojin on the head. Qiongre Duojin staggered a few times and slowly fell down.
"The King of Han, the Tibetan thief, is dead!" Tuoba Chongde howled excitedly, and his bodyguards were about to pounce on him to finish off the attack.
At this moment, Murong Nobunaga arrived. He howled and rushed forward. Without avoiding the sword, he struck Tuoba Chongde with the iron whip in his hand one after another.
The old man now has one idea in his mind: he must beat this traitor into a pulp.
Tuoba Chongde and others rushed to kill for half an hour. They were relying on their breath to support them. When they saw that their goal was achieved, they could no longer resist.
Although there were more than ten people around him, they all wanted to retreat quickly, but Murong Nobunaga was unable to get away.
In anger, Tuoba Chongde was whipped five times by Murong Nobunaga, and his head was smashed into pulp.
Seeing that he had beaten his enemy to death, Murong Nobunaga's strength seemed to be drained out of him at once.
He cried and ran towards 'Zhang Zhao' on the ground, but was unexpectedly stopped by a strong man wearing cotton armor. He raised his head and saw, who is it if it's not Zhang Zhao?
"You're still crying at such an old age?" Zhang Zhao also sighed with emotion. He stretched out his right hand and gently wiped the blood and tears on Murong Nobunaga's face as if he were really doing it to his son.
"Sir!" Murong Nobunaga threw away the iron whip with a clang, suddenly knelt down and hugged Zhang Zhao's thigh, and he cried out loud.
At the same time, Qiongre Duojin was also supported by the wild bear and came to Zhang Zhao. His head was covered with blood, his body was covered with injuries, his nails were torn, one hand was drooped and he could not lift it up, and only his mouth showed big white teeth.
, still smiling at Zhang Zhao.
"I, Zhang Erlang, owe you my life! Go down and have a rest, share the wealth and honor, and never forget it!"
Zhang Zhao hugged Qiongre Duojin and said sincerely, and then asked the guards around him to carry him down to rest first.
Then Zhang Zhao turned to Murong Nobunaga and said: "Can we fight again? You and I, father and son, go up side by side. Li Yiyin must be killed on the spot today!"
Murong Nobunaga grinned widely, "Why not! A child must also be a pioneer for adults!"
....
At this time, the battlefield was in chaos. Both sides fought fiercely for almost an hour, and both sides were almost exhausted.
However, the more this happens, the Guiyi Army is good at fighting hard battles, and the more advantageous it is to fight hard.
In particular, the three heavy infantry units from Hanshandu, Hanhai Town, and Yucheng Town were fighting almost overwhelming the Dingnan Army.
They have multiple armors, multiple crossbows, and divine arm bows, and their will to fight is even stronger.
The Dingnan Army was originally good at cavalry, but now the light armored cavalry is not as good as the rebel army. There is no winner in the duel between archers and cavalry. The forced ones can only use their own shortcomings to defeat the rebel army's strengths.
Therefore, although the number of people is larger, they have retreated four or five times in a row, and some infantry have been driven to Li Yiyin's side.
At this moment, Li Yiyin's decisive hand was actually Tuoba Chongde's three thousand cavalry.
Standing on a high place, he saw a scene of joy in the distance. He guessed that Tuoba Chongde had succeeded, and he was immediately overjoyed.
"Left and right, start shouting, the Tibetan thief King Han is dead!"
"The Tibetan King Han is dead!"
"The Tibetan King Han is dead!"
Around Li Yiyin, a group of soldiers with loud voices were specially raised. At this moment, they shouted in unison, and the sound was immediately spread everywhere.
....
Zhang Xiaobiao fired his bow from left to right, and three more party members were shot to death by him in the chaos.
At the beginning, when the formations of both sides were still complete, individual bravery was indeed not of much use.
But at this moment, after you have me in you, and I have you in me, your personal abilities are instantly magnified.
Zhang Xiaobiao, who was extremely accurate in archery, had killed more people than the strong men of the Wang family. With a change of strategy, at least he had something to offer.
But at this moment, when he suddenly heard people shouting that King Han was dead, Zhang Xiaobiao immediately panicked. If King Han was dead, what would happen no matter how many people they killed?
"Impossible! King Han is the reincarnation of gods and Buddhas, and gods and Buddhas will never die!"
Compared with Han Chinese like Zhang Xiaobiao, the Liubu athletes, Tuyuhun and Dadan people who were recruited by Zhang Zhao and whose cultural customs favored Tubo should be more determined.
In their hearts, King Han is a Dharma King and a Bodhisattva, the reincarnation of gods and Buddhas. How could he possibly die?
After a Tibetan archer wearing a leather robe and lined with chainmail roared loudly, another Tuyuhun heavy armored soldier from the Seven Troops of Shanzhou wearing Tibetan armor also said decisively.
"Yes! Master Jinzhu said that King Han is a Bodhisattva in heaven. He brings good life to the people on the snow-capped mountains. Since King Han was born, there were no white disasters last winter. Dharma King Bodhisattva will not die."
At this time, the organization had been disrupted. The people below were all from various town armies. They were shouting and cheering for the people around them. Miraculously, they did not retreat.
But his morale was a little low, and he was suppressed by the party members again.
At this moment, the sound of rumbling drums seemed to come from the horizon. Under the banner of the sun, moon and stars, Zhang Zhao did not wear a pocket or armor, but wore a white robe and held his sign in his hand.
The cross sword of sex.
King Zhang, protected by hundreds of drummers, ran left and right on the battlefield amidst the sound of drums. He wanted everyone to see that he, Zhang Zhao, was still there.
"Wonderful victory! Wonderful victory!" Wherever he went, cheers rang out. Everyone saw that King Han was not dead.
Zhang Xiaobiao became angry immediately. These thieves of the distress army actually cursed King Han. At this moment, he could not feel the pain in his arms. With the roar of excitement, the strong men of Zhang Xiaobiao and Wang family pressed forward together.
Zhang Zhao is like a human-shaped shot in the arm. Wherever he goes, the morale of the rebel army is greatly boosted.
As for the Dingnan Army, they just said that their coach was dead, but they were instantly slapped in the face. While their morale plummeted, it also made the soldiers feel like they had been deceived.
Seeing at least four to five thousand heavy infantrymen of the Guiyi Army pressing towards him under the command of officers, Li Yiyin still maintained a certain calmness. He still had two trump cards to play.
Six hundred chain horses controlled by Li Guangrui.
Li Yiyin was accompanied by five hundred Hengshan Qiang infantry troops, who were later known as the Hengshan Bubazi of Xixia.
Five hundred Hengshan infantrymen wear thick leather armor and hold strong bows. These Qiang people who live in the Hengshan area are the best mountain infantry and are generally not used as heavy infantry in formations.
Historically, when Li Yuanhao and the Northern Song Dynasty fought repeatedly in the Hengshan area, they often used the Hengshan Buzi's ability to climb mountains and ridges as if they were walking on flat ground to delay the Song army in the Hengshan area.
Then select favorable battlefields for the Xixia army, quickly intersperse them, and use mobility to form local superior forces.
However, at this time, Li Yiyin's military ability was far inferior to that of his fifth-generation nephew Li Yuanhao, and Hengshan Bubazi was actually used by Li Yiyin as his personal guard.
Li Yiyin used their quick movements to cover his escape, or to protect safety on the battlefield like now.
After thinking for more than ten breaths, Li Yiyin made a decision.
"My son led a chain of horses to attack, charging directly at the infantry on the opposite side. Their formation was disordered, so we quickly defeated them.
Sanlang and Wulang mobilize all the light cavalry that can still be mobilized, follow the chain of horses to kill as many Tibetan bandits as possible, and the Hengshan infantry form a formation to protect someone!"
The so-called chain horse is a term used within the Dingnan Army for heavy armored cavalry.
However, due to the constraints of the Dingming Army's own economic strength, these 600 chain horses cannot be used as armor for men and horses.
Only knights can wear iron armor, or cowhide armor with ring mail. Horses only have iron plates on their skulls and a piece of armor on their chests to defend themselves against arrows.
The heavy cavalry of the Dingnan Army were called chain horses because the horses were connected by iron chains. During combat, several or even dozens of horses were usually connected together.
But if you think that when they charge, they charge together with each other, you are totally wrong.
Because cavalry relies on speed, and the horses are connected to each other. As long as one of them has a problem, the others will be ruined. If there are dozens of horses in one fall, how can they charge?
So in fact, the chain of the chain horse is used to regulate the order of the charge.
At this moment, Li Guangrui dispatched 600 horses in a chain, 20 horses in a company. With the restraint and control of iron chains, the 600 heavy cavalry actually jogged out of a formation as neat as a knife or an axe.
The infantrymen of the Guiyi Army, who were suppressing the Dingnan Army, noticed the slowly moving chain of horses in the distance, and began to panic.
Some wanted to mix with the infantry of the martyrs, while others began to form formations under the command of officers.
Li Guangrui had a sneer on his face. Isn't it too late to form a formation now?
The chain of horses is now connected by an iron chain. Once within a hundred steps, the iron chain is released and the horses charge. The chaotic infantry formation cannot stop them.
This is the second special feature of the chain horse. During training, if the chain is repeatedly put on, it can only jog, and when the chain is released, it can hit with full force, which stimulates the horse to form a conditioned reflex.
Loosen the chains when you are a hundred steps away from the enemy, so that when the war horses rush into the forest of spears, they will be dominated by their daily habits, thus forgetting the danger and becoming more fearless.
'Woo!' The horn sounded, and within a hundred steps, the chain of horses began to charge rapidly. The six hundred chain of horses took the form of three hundred in front and three hundred in back. There was only three people between the war horses.
distance.
The target of their charge was the fastest-formed Xianshandu infantry.
Li Guangrui could see that this infantry army was the main core of the Guiyi Army.
After defeating them, the infantry around them who are still persisting can take advantage of the situation and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
The attack went very smoothly, and the chain of horses easily defeated the Hanshandu infantry, which was not in a strict formation. However, before they could expand their victory, the sound of loud drumming could be heard in the distance.
Li Guangrui looked up and saw a dark cloud pressing towards them in the distance between the sky and the earth.
"Armored cavalry! The Tibetan thieves also have armored cavalry!" This was the cry of the frightened soldiers of the Dingding Army.
Li Ruotai held the carbine under his ribs and held the gun with his forehand. The six hundred Guiyi soldiers were equipped with armored cavalry, all in black cloth-covered iron armor, and wore a douche with golden and red pheasant feathers on their heads.
Like wild monsters, they rushed towards the chain of horses and the infantry behind them.
"Charge! Charge!" Li Guangrui screamed loudly, trying to get his cavalry to charge, but it was too late.
The chained horse, which had lost its speed, was defeated by the six hundred armored cavalry of the Guiyi Army in just an instant, and the infantry behind them also began to flee in panic.
The army was defeated like a mountain!
