Chapter three hundred and ninety seventh temporary break
The cavalry charged and crashed into the crowd and pushed forward.
The cavalry, like shaking waves, drove straight in, and figures fell down like harvested wheat fields. Thousands of cavalry groups charged, especially from heavy cavalry. In this era, they had a terrifying power. Under the huge impact force, human flesh and blood were like mud splattering under iron hooves.
Before the Khitan infantry holding the shield was firmly established, the shield was thunderous, and the people and the shield fell to the ground. On the war horse that was stepping over, Fu Daozhao poked the soldier's head with a shot, pulled it out with blood, and threw it forward and penetrated the two Khitans together and inserted it diagonally to the ground.
"The light cavalry follows—" he hissed and roared.
Boom-
The heavy rider dragged the dust and smoke, spreading among the crowd like an angry tide, advancing at high speed in front of him, facing the forest of guns stabbed from left and right, making a sound of iron armor or placing iron armor, making white marks.
The cavalry teams in the northwest Longyou, which followed closely behind, were intertwined and flowed one by one, cutting in different directions in the form of a team. After rushing, they threw away the spear in their hands, pulled out the blade and waved wildly to the left and right. The sticky plasma rose and fell with the blade, rising and falling. Some cavalry also slowed down and were surrounded by Khitan infantry. The men and the spurs made several bloody mouths and fell to the ground and died.
Under the flag that was lowering, Yelu Abaoji was not afraid, but the sudden Han cavalry entered the battlefield. Once the opponent was rushing to find the imperial flag, he would inevitably go forward and rush forward to this side. For the front army that was still attacking the Han camp, he would definitely panic.
Fortunately, the Han cavalry who came to the scene and noticed this, Yelu Abaoji breathed a sigh of relief, turned over his horse, and waved his hands to the left and right.
"The layout for many days has been ineffective. I ordered the Pishi Army to entangle this group of Han cavalry and the infantry slowly retreated!"
"yes!"
Lu Wenjin dared not say much, and he could see clearly the situation on the battlefield. When this Han cavalry rushed in, he cut off the Khitan army that was attacking the camp in half at the first time, so that the head and tail could not be connected. The rhythm of the attack had failed and it would be impossible to get it down.
Soon, the horn of the command blew the message that only one could understand.
A 20,000 siege army stationed in the middle formation moved, emerged from the middle formation, entered the battlefield as fast as possible, and killed the Han cavalry who was entering the uninhabited realm.
These are all the troops of the imperial guards who started with Yelu Abaoji. They were formed by Khitans from all over the country. They are well-equipped and familiar with riding. They carry four different bows and are extremely fierce.
The Longyou Iron Cavalry that welcoming was a cavalry cluster built by Geng Qing over the years. Unlike the Khitan cavalry, the armor on the body was mostly half-skinned and half-iron, and it was re-improved with armor from the West. The war horses in the northwest were different from the Khitan Miscellaneous Hu, which was even more explosive.
Suddenly, the two sides fought together.
A cavalry of the Sei Shi Army changed his bow by hundreds of steps, and then pulled the bow and shot an arrow. The rushing cavalry of the Longyou raised his hand and blocked it with a small shield. The moment the two horses intersected, the cavalry raised his hand and made a fierce knife. The former used the bow to block it, and the bow body broke, and the blade cut a long wound along his arm. The cavalry of the Sei Shi Army threw the bow in pain, and drew the sword with his other hand.
In the shaking view, more Longyou cavalry hit him.
"kill!"
The next moment when the hysterical roar echoed, the scattered cavalry of Longyou rushed into the crowd and knocked off the skinned army. The blades bumped and bounced away, leaving empty fists to fight the enemy. The war horses that cut into the array on both sides collided with the war horses, and the crackling sound of blood and blood cracking burst out. Many people fell off their horses at this moment.
In the burning and fighting barracks, Wang Yanzhang judged the situation on the battlefield. From the rear, he looked from the horse's back and saw a huge cavalry group outside breaking into the middle of the enemy. He crawled onto his face with excitement and immediately organized the last retained troops, with only 3,600 people, and entered the front line.
"The reinforcements have arrived. All the comrades, fight out, cooperate inside and outside to welcome the reinforcements--"
"kill!"
"kill!"
Morale suddenly shook, and the soldiers who were barely supporting responded, wielding their weapons and pushing forward with all their might. The Khitans on the opposite side were concerned about the Han soldiers who suddenly appeared behind them, and while resisting the enemy who was constantly fighting against the backlash, they could hold on for a night of fighting. Almost all the will to support them.
Grilled
Woo--
At this time, the sound of horns for withdrawing troops came from outside, and the Khitan soldiers and horses gradually reduced their attacks. The cavalry, which were originally scattered around, began to gather the entire team, and the archers and cavalry set off arrows to fight back and harass them, and were covered by infantry to retreat outside the camp.
Wang Yanzhang and Li Siyuan would not miss such an opportunity and immediately ordered a pursuit. At first, there was a little effect, but then they were counterattacked by the Khitans. On the retreat route, people and horse corpses could be seen everywhere.
After the loss, the soldiers and generals were separated by a certain distance, following the Khitans' counterattack with bows and arrows. Even if the orders urged by Wang and Li came, they did not dare to go up at will and just hang them behind.
Wang Yanzhang couldn't help but feel discouraged. This situation was already the best. The emperor who established the Khitan on his horse would not be underestimated just because he was a Hu person. On the contrary, he felt somewhat convinced when he saw the opponent's army advance and retreat in moderation.
"However, being able to compete with such an opponent in this life is the greatest pleasure since the army. Even if you go back and wrap yourself in the body, you will have no regrets!"
Compared to him, Li Siyuan sat at the door of the Central Army camp and sighed in disappointment as he looked at the orderly withdrawal of Khitan troops. When Shi Jingtang came over, he looked at him covered in scars and knew that at this time, they had won a miserable victory.
The horn sounds continuous.
As he rushed to the infantry, the knights in the cavalry array smashed apart with a spear. A cavalryman who came here burst with his horse's head and was beaten backwards by the waist. Li Cunxiao tied the reins and turned around with cold eyes. He looked at the direction of the horn, drew his sword and cut off a Khitan infantryman who wanted to sneak attack.
The blade quickly returned to the sheath. Li Cunxiao turned his horse's head and immediately charged again towards the direction of the horn. The cavalry of the surrounding guards hurriedly followed and went to the left and right guards.
At this moment, his voice shouted out in time.
"Tell Wang Yanzhang and follow me to rush—"
The surrounding light cavalry followed one after another, Fu Daozhao led the Dangxiang Chongcai to land behind, and ordered the cavalry to run in it, and blew the trumpet, which attracted the attention of Wang Yanzhang, Li Siyuan and others in the rear camp. The two hurriedly issued an order, Li Cunshen, Xie Yanzhang, Yan Bao, and He Gui were also running with their subordinates.
In a moment, the horse's hooves and human footsteps roared and rushed towards the Khitan mid-range behind the retreating Khitan military formation.
"Walk!"
Yelu Abaoji stood at a high place, looking at the Han soldiers and horses on the battlefield, rushing towards this side with no chance. He turned around his horse's head and said softly, which was quite a pity for his recent layout.
"After all, the effort was failed, but the war has not ended yet... Han people!"
In the field of vision, the soldiers spread.
On the battlefield, the figure who was leading the way broke through the siege like a wave. A red cloak shone in the wind. The hands of the soldiers were full of sticky blood and flesh. In the direction of his eyes, there was only a wooden pillar standing on the ground. At the height of the terrain, there was no figure of the Khitan Emperor.
Looking back, the Khitan army was still retreating. The iron cavalry that followed him and the infantry in the distant camp advanced hard, but the situation on the entire battlefield.
It's considered a win.
...........
The morning light turned into the scorching sun, and the cicadas that knew were silence away from the battlefield dozens of miles apart.
Listening to the cicadas ringing one after another, Geng Qing rode on the horse's back, his eyes slightly closed, and his hands were holding the information sent an hour ago, but his head was dozing off bit by bit.
Soon, a galloping horse came back from a distance and woke him up. Looking at the newly sent information, Geng Qing yawned.
