The Khitan auxiliary troops and followers collapsed. Although they were greedy for military success and determined to fight hard, in front were the iron-blooded riflemen of the Huben Division, not the other weak Song troops. In the face of powerful crossbows and rifles, flesh and blood
How can you get an advantage? After being shot by crossbows and volleys of guns, the auxiliary soldiers and followers realized the strength of the enemy, lost the confidence to win the battle, and scattered like birds and beasts.
They became broken troops and fled from both sides of the vanguard group and the gangster group. They were a ragtag group that rushed into battle in a hurry. Driven by greed, they were brave for a short moment, and then returned to their weak nature. They were like an ebbing tide.
The seawater receded, revealing the rocks behind the seawater. Behind them, five thousand Khitan infantry armor appeared in Yang Peng's field of vision. Five thousand Khitan infantry armor, wearing iron-plated cotton armor and holding walking bows, rushed up quickly.
.
That was Xiao Tianyou's last force. This time, Xiao Tianyou could be said to have put all his money on it. If these five thousand infantry soldiers were defeated, Xiao Tianyou would have completely lost. These infantry soldiers were holding bows and arrows.
Prepare to shoot with Master Hu Ben. The Khitans are good at foot combat. When fighting dismounted, both hand-to-hand combat and archery are stronger than when fighting on horseback. The Khitan's foot bows are divided into six-power bows, eight-power bows and ten-power bows according to the strength of the bow.
For bows, one force is almost ten kilograms of draw force. Elite hadas and some vests can control ten-force bows, while most infantry armor use eight-force bows.
At this time, these 5,000 infantry armors were basically all using eight-power bows. The eight-force bows could threaten the enemy at sixty steps, that is, 90 meters away. The 5,000 infantry armors rushed to the Huben division's 90 meters away.
, the two thousand people in the front row raised their bows and fired a round of arrows at the selection group. The two thousand arrows were like a rainstorm, thrown at the selection group and the gangster group.
Ninety meters away is still a bit far for the Eight-Li Bow, and its accuracy is limited. Moreover, the arrows fired at Huben Master are old and cannot break armor. The soldiers of the Selected Front Regiment are wearing chainmail, but they are not afraid of the Sixty Steps.
Bows and arrows were thrown from outside. Unless they were shot in the head, these arrows could not hurt the soldiers of the Selection Group. However, the bandits who did not wear armor were injured. More than a hundred people were shot by bows and arrows and screamed.
Then he retreated.
More than 30 people were shot directly in the heart and other vital parts and died in front of the battle. Yang Peng looked at the soldiers of the Dang bandits who were hit by arrows and frowned. Every soldier of the Huben Division is precious and cannot be taken care of casually.
Sacrifice. Because the soldiers were not equipped with armor in this battle, the soldiers suffered many casualties. After the battle, Yang Peng made up his mind to equip each soldier with a pair of iron armor to guard against the rain of Tatar arrows.
Two seconds after the Khitan soldiers finished shooting their bows and arrows, the soldiers of the Huben Division in the back row loaded their bullets, stood at the shooting position and started shooting. A thousand rifles were aimed at the Khitan archers 90 meters away, platoon after platoon.
He opened fire, spraying out sparks and bullets. Compared with the Eight-Power Bow, which requires more than eighty kilograms of effort to pull the string and fling it at the enemy, the rifleman's shooting is much easier. He only needs to hold a few kilograms.
It is a heavy rifle that can be fired by pressing the trigger. Even if they are skilled shooters, the hit rate of the flintlock rifleman at a range of 90 meters is much higher than that of the archer.
"Kill the Khitan dog!" The rifle fired at a distance of 90 meters, hitting the almost stationary archer with astonishing accuracy. A thousand rounds of bullets roared towards the Khitan soldier not far away, knocking him down in an instant.
A large group of Khitan soldiers. Row after row. The Khitan soldiers in the front row, who were bending their bows and shooting arrows, had blood spraying on their bodies. They screamed and fell down, leaving behind some nervous soldiers in the back row.
The Khitan army was beaten by riflemen and fell into chaos. Obviously, the Khitan army's bow shooting was not as efficient as the Ming army's rifle shooting. If you want to improve the accuracy of the bow and arrow, you need to rush closer. But the Khitan army
The soldiers knew that the further they advanced, the denser the Song army's firepower would be.
There are still more than 10,000 people in the Song army, while only more than 4,000 people in the Khitan army are still in fighting condition. This battle is obviously going to be lost. The infantrymen are unwilling to be cannon fodder, and they panic, and some of them want to flee behind.
Behind the Khitan, at the center of the army, Xiao Tianyou, who was standing on a small sack of earth to observe the battle situation, saw signs of the infantry escaping. His heart tightened and he subconsciously bent his waist. These archery infantry were Xiao Tianyou's last hope.
. The Khitan army finally rushed within the range of the bow and arrow. Xiao Tianyou hoped that the rain of arrows from the Manchu warriors could defeat Yang Peng's troops. Compared with a rifle that fires once every twenty seconds, the maximum rate of fire of the bow and arrow can reach five,
One shot every six seconds, giving it an advantage in rate of fire.
Of course, to truly gain an advantage, hit rate is also a key factor. Then the infantrymen are required to force themselves within fifty meters of Master Hu Ben and shoot directly at close range. Xiao Tianyou gritted his teeth, clasped his hands tightly together, and prayed for the blessings of his ancestors.
Bless your armor to persevere.
Xiao Tianyou was praying, and Han Derang, who was leading the five hundred elites of the Xi Army behind the infantry, used his actions to ensure the discipline of the infantry. The five hundred elite Xi Army were on horseback, and under the command of Handerang, they killed more than twenty people.
A single fleeing carabid pushed more than 4,000 carabid forwards. The carabid had no choice. To retreat would be to die, so they had no choice but to rush. The carabid's minds went blank, and they felt that life no longer belonged to them.
They rushed forward ten meters and fired a hail of arrows at the Huben division who was eighty meters away.
Two hundred unarmored soldiers of the Dang Bandit Regiment were hit by arrows. They screamed and fell to the ground, covering their wounds from the arrows and shouting loudly. More than twenty soldiers of the Selective Front Regiment were shot through the chains by Tatar arrows.
A, who hit a vital point, also withdrew from the battle formation.
But soon, it was the turn of the soldiers from the Selection Regiment and the Dangkou Regiment to fight back. The soldiers of the Tiger Division could complete loading and shooting in twenty seconds, and in a three-row firing formation, they could complete the attack in seven seconds.
Shoot once. A few seconds after the Tatars fired a round of arrows, nearly a thousand soldiers from the back row of the Selection Regiment and the Dang Kou Regiment stood up at the shooting position and opened fire on the Khitan soldiers.
"Kill the Khitan dogs!" "Kill the Khitan dogs!!"
More than 900 rifles fired in volleys, spraying angry bullets at the Khitan infantry eighty meters away. The bullets were like a storm representing death, sweeping through the gaps in the battlefield and hitting the front row of infantry.
In the body, the thin iron-plated cotton armor on the infantry armor could not stop the bullets at all. The bullets that were blocked by the cotton armor shattered and rolled irregularly, which would cause even more serious damage to the Khitan who was hit by the bullet.
The front of the Khitan formation was like a hurricane, and the infantrymen fell to the ground with a plop. Of the five thousand infantrymen who rushed into the formation, in the blink of an eye there were only more than three thousand left.
The Khitan soldiers could no longer bear such casualties. This battle looked like a loss no matter what. No one wanted to continue committing suicide in front of the formation, and the infantrymen began to flee. The last five thousand infantrymen of the Khitan army were also defeated. First a few
Ten people fled, and they fled to the east and west without hesitation. Then the actions of these dozens of people drove the carabids next to them, and hundreds of people began to flee. Finally, the entire carabid camp collapsed and dispersed. The carabids ran away with their heads in their arms.
, avoiding the Baiya La who was holding the formation in the back row, and collapsed from both sides of the formation.
Looking at the retreating Khitan infantry, Yang Peng breathed a long sigh of relief. This battle was won. Twelve thousand Khitan soldiers defeated nearly 30,000 Khitan soldiers. Although only 10,000 Khitan soldiers were soldiers of the Liao Kingdom.
, the rest were followed by the Xi Army and auxiliary troops, but this battle was still a great victory that shined brightly in the world.
I would like to ask which army in the Song Dynasty could defeat nearly 30,000 Khitan troops in one battle?
The next step is to chase the deserters! The thousand crossbowmen of the Selected Front Regiment did not let go of the fleeing Khitan infantry. They loaded up the crossbow arrows and continued to shoot at the infantry. Although the formation of the infantry was relatively scattered when they fled,
Even though it was bombarded at close range by shotguns, hundreds of bodies were left behind.
Not only that, the soldiers of the Dangkou Regiment and the Selected Frontier Regiment were still shooting. These soldiers obviously had not killed enough Khitan soldiers. They stood in the front row one by one and shot at the fleeing infantrymen, shouting "Kill the Khitan dogs".
If the infantrymen wanted to escape beyond the range of the Tiger Division, they would have to leave behind at least a thousand corpses. The elite Wuhunxi Army not far away turned their horses and fled to the north. Yang Peng raised his telescope and looked at the distance.
The enemy's central military command flag fell down, and the various military flags and the eye-catching gold-woven dragon flag were thrown to the ground without hesitation. The Tatar general Xiao Tianyou, who was wearing gilt armor, and the general's guards gathered together to launch a plan.
The horse fled to the north.
Want to escape? It's not that easy! Yang Peng shouted loudly: "Mount the vanguard group and hunt down the enemy generals!" The Chinese army's horn sounded and flags were waved. The vanguard group no longer shot at the fleeing infantry, but
Returning to the center of the phalanx, he found his horse and rode it to chase the Tatar general Xiao Tianyou.
The Selective Front Regiment is the elite of the Huben Division. Each man is equipped with two war horses and rides very fast. Huyan Chijin also rode a horse and led a horse, personally leading two thousand soldiers of the Selective Regiment toward the escaping soldiers.
Xiao Tianyou chased after him. The Khitan generals and guards also had one man and two horses. When they saw Huyan Chijin chasing after him, the Khitan whipped up the horse and ran very fast. The two armies chased to the north of Tianjing New City, and soon ran north.
Traveled ten miles.
All the horses in the selection group were captured in previous wars. Yang Peng captured more than 10,000 horses in these wars, and selected the best 4,000 horses for the selection group.
It’s not an exaggeration to choose one. Compared to the horses of the Khitan Guards, the horses of the Selected Wings Regiment are more elite and have more horsepower.
Moreover, Xiao Tianyou was in a panic and was eager to get rid of Huyan Chijin behind him. He urged the horse too quickly at first. After running for more than ten miles, although Xiao Tianyou had thrown Huyan Chijin away for more than two miles, his horse power was exhausted.
Li Zhi chased after him steadily, using his horsepower sparingly. After chasing for more than ten miles, he began to close the distance with Yue Tuo and bit him.
Xiao Tianyou was riding, his face was pale, but his eyes were blood red, and he was getting more and more panicked. He kept shouting at the guards around him, but he still couldn't make the guards run faster. The guards had changed
After passing the horse twice, they could only run at this speed even if they changed horses again. They were about to be overtaken by Huyan Chijin's selection team. In order to increase the speed of the horse, the guards began to take off their armor and put on their heavy cotton armor and chainmail armor.
I threw it away, hoping it would be lighter and run faster. But even after taking off the armor, the selection team a mile away was still getting closer and closer.
Xiao Tianyou's face turned pale, and he secretly thought that he was going to die here today? The deputy general beside Xiao Tianyou, Handerang, said loudly: "General, send two hundred guards to stop Huyan Chijin!" Xiao Tianyou looked at the guards around him, and his face twitched.
Look. These guards are the elite of the Liao Kingdom. If they die, they will lose one. Xiao Tianyou is never willing to use them until the critical moment. Unexpectedly, they will be used as dead soldiers now, using their lives to stop the pursuers behind.
Xiao Tianyou's lips trembled and he did not speak. Handerang said loudly: "General, give the order, if this continues, we will be overtaken!"
Xiao Tianyou nodded and said: "Okay, let two hundred guards stop Yang Peng!" Handrang turned his horse and rode to the guard's office, loudly passing on Xiao Tianyou's order. Two hundred guards were selected as
The dead soldier left the team and went to stop the Song army who was chasing after him.
The two hundred guards knew that they would die if they went there, but they did not dare to disobey the general's order. As the saying goes, raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a while, the guards were usually pampered and respected, and now it was their time to serve the Liao Dynasty. They
He left the team on horseback and rushed towards the Song army behind him. Huyan Chijin was chasing Xiao Tianyou, and he felt that he was about to catch up, but he saw two hundred tall Khitan soldiers rushing over. Obviously, Xiao Tianyou wanted to use the Khitan soldiers to do this.
Dead warriors delay their own pursuit.
Yang Peng snorted coldly and shouted loudly: "Huyan Chijin led a thousand people to fight against the Khitan soldiers. The remaining thousand people followed me around and continued to pursue Xiao Tianyou!" "Today, Xiao Tianyou must be killed in Tianjing New City.
!" Deputy commander Huyan Chijin led a thousand cavalrymen of the Selected Front Regiment, drew their muskets, and rushed towards the two hundred Khitan guards.
The distance was getting closer and closer, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters. Both sides were approaching at the speed of galloping horses, and the distance was getting closer very quickly. At a distance of seventy meters, the Khitan guard raised his horn bow and fired.
Wheel arrows. About twenty of the two hundred bows and arrows hit the soldiers of the Choosing Regiment, and several of them penetrated the mail armor of the Choosing Regiment, causing damage.
After finishing their horned bows, the Khitan guards quickly raised their axes and broadswords, and galloped over to prepare for hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers of the Selection Corps. "Kill the Khitan dogs!" From a distance of 20 meters, the 400 soldiers of the Selection Corps in the front row fired at the Khitan guards.
A crackling sound was heard, and a dazzling flame shot out from the handgun. One hundred brave and skilled Khitan guards had blood spraying on their bodies, and they fell under their horses after being shot.
Unexpectedly, the Ming army had such melee weapons, and a hundred warriors were killed in an instant, causing chaos.
The soldiers in the front row of the Selective Regiment turned around and rode to the left and right after firing their muskets. The four hundred cavalrymen behind them rushed up again holding muskets.
"Kill the Khitan dogs!" "Kill the Khitan dogs!!"
Another fire broke out, and the remaining one hundred Baiya La were shot to death one by one and fell under their horses. The two hundred Khitan guards were shot to death in one fell swoop. Huyan Chijin, who commanded these thousand soldiers,
Looking at the bleeding corpse of Baiyala on the ground, he looked up at the city lord Yang Peng who had already chased him far away. He smiled and said, "Brothers, dismount! Cut off your heads!" Huyan Chijin didn't want to take away Yang Peng's credit.
The Second World War has already shown itself.
Yang Peng led another thousand people and chased for another ten miles, gradually catching up with Xiao Tianyou who was in front. Yang Peng was riding a horse, holding a loaded rifle during the bumps, and aimed at Xiao Tianyou who was two hundred meters ahead.
Back, fired a shot.
"Bang!" The bullet flew away, missing Xiao Tianyou, but startling the guards who were escaping in front. Seeing that they had already fired, the guards knew that escaping with Xiao Tianyou would be a dead end. Moreover,
They were afraid that Xiao Tianyou would treat the three hundred of them as dead soldiers in the rear to stop the vanguard group, so they no longer followed Xiao Tianyou to the north, but fled east and west.
Even Xiao Tianyou's lieutenant, Han Derang, rode away from Xiao Tianyou. Obviously Yang Peng's target was Xiao Tianyou. As long as he left Xiao Tianyou and fled elsewhere, he would have a chance of survival. Xiao Tianyou, who was escaping on a war horse, was at the front.
At first, he didn't realize that all his subordinates had dispersed. When he felt that the surroundings had become quiet, when he looked back, he was surprised to find that all the soldiers around him had dispersed.
One hundred soldiers from the Selective Regiment riding the best horses had already chased him a hundred meters behind. When Xiao Tianyou saw the Ming cavalry a hundred meters away, he knew he was going to die. He swung his whip angrily and pulled his heel
His spurs pierced the horse's belly, stimulating the horse under his legs to make a final escape. But his horse was exhausted. After being stimulated by the spurs, the horse only rushed forward twenty meters before returning to its original speed.
Xiao Tianyou stabbed the horse's belly with spurs again, making the horse bloody, but it had no effect at all. A hundred meters away, a hundred soldiers of the Selected Wings Regiment slowly loaded bullets and gunpowder on their horses, raised their rifles and took aim.
Xiao Tianyou in front. Yang Peng also loaded his rifle. He aimed at Xiao Tianyou and opened fire.
As soon as Yang Peng fired, dozens of musketeers behind him also fired. More than thirty bullets were fired at Xiao Tianyou in front, and at least a dozen bullets hit him. The bullets from the flintlock rifle fired at him.
More than a dozen blood flowers exploded from his body, killing Xiao Tianyou, the great general of the Liao Kingdom, in an instant.
Xiao Tianyou could no longer hold the reins of the horse, so he fell off the horse and fell on the hard and cold yellow earth in December. Yang Peng rode up and walked around Xiao Tianyou, clearly seeing the gorgeous gilt clothes on Xiao Tianyou's body.
The armor confirmed that Xiao Tianyou was dead. The soldiers of the Selection Group gradually gathered around, looking at Xiao Tianyou's body on the ground with excitement.
After a while, someone excitedly raised their fists and shouted loudly, "Wan Sheng!" The soldiers all raised their fists and shouted in unison: "Wan Sheng!" "Wan Sheng!"
On December 14, Cangzhou Governor Zha Dengbei heard a piece of news that stunned him: Yang Peng defeated the Khitan army in the north of Tianjing New City. Not only did he defeat nearly 30,000 Khitan troops, Yang Peng also defeated the Liao army.
Xiao Tianyou, the great general of the country, captured and beheaded 24,926 Khitan Tatars. When Zha Dengbei heard the news, he almost fell off his chair.
Some time ago, he heard that Tianjing New City was surrounded by 30,000 Khitan troops, and he thought that Tianjing New City would definitely be captured this time. He was happy and surprised at the time, and he was happy that the domineering Yang Peng was finally taught a lesson by the Khitan army.
, now the nest was destroyed by the Khitan army, how will Yang Peng maintain his troops and how arrogant will he be in the future? What is surprising is that the Khitan army is so powerful, they actually marched more than 600 miles in a few days, from Mozhou to
Tianjing New City. After capturing Tianjing New City, will the Khitan army attack other prefectures and counties in Cangzhou?
If too much soil is lost, his position as governor will not be guaranteed! Chaden carefully prepared for the war and led the Governor Biao Battalion to guard the city of Cangzhou. He was under martial law on all sides and could not leave, fearing that the Khitan army would attack Cangzhou City. Unexpectedly, he did not see anything after waiting for several days.
The terrifying Qing army heard the news of Yang Peng's victory.
Yang Peng's soldiers and horses defeated the Khitan! Xiao Tianyou was killed in formation! Are these Yang Peng's soldiers and horses divine soldiers and heavenly generals? There were 30,000 Khitan soldiers. Although half of them were from the Xi tribe, the fighting ability of the Xi tribe
The strength is not bad. Such an army of 30,000 people under the command of the Khitan generals cannot defeat even the 100,000 Song Dynasty soldiers. It will just collapse at the first touch. Even if the Yang family army is strong, it will take at least 40,000 to 50,000 troops to dare to fight with these 30,000 soldiers.
The Khitan army faced the enemy.
And Yang Peng defeated the Khitan army with more than 10,000 troops and beheaded more than 20,000 people? If someone else had taken the credit, Zha Dengbei would not have believed it. But what happened to Yang Peng was very serious.
Reasonable. In the third year of Zhidao, the Khitan army entered the fortress, and Yang Peng led 4,000 men to defeat Ye Qi Hongguang, who had 12,000 men, and beheaded 11,600 people. Although Xu Nan finally shared Yang Peng's military exploits.
, only 1,500 heads were left for Yang Peng, but Zha Dengbei knew the inside story. That battle was entirely fought by Yang Peng himself.
Calculating it this way, Yang Peng, who now has more than 10,000 troops, can indeed defeat the 30,000 Khitan army. Yang Peng's strength is really too strong. If this continues, in a few years, wouldn't he be able to
Competing with 50,000 to 60,000 Khitan troops? Fighting bandits is not easy? Then couldn't he single-handedly reverse the predicament of the Song Dynasty?
Yang Peng is already very powerful now. The officials are extremely fond of Yang Peng, just because Yang Peng can fight! In a few years, Yang Peng's strength will expand, then how much will the officials rely on Yang Peng?
As a Qingliu, Chadenbei is not the same person as Yang Peng. But even though he was repeatedly contradicted or even ignored by Yang Peng, when he thought of Yang Peng's power, he still did not dare to offend Yang Peng or become an enemy of Yang Peng. Chadenbei did not dare to offend Yang Peng or become an enemy of Yang Peng.
After getting the news about Yang Peng, he cautiously sent out the rangers out of the city for reconnaissance. After he conducted reconnaissance for a long time and confirmed that the surrounding areas were clear and there were indeed no Khitan rangers, he led a team of 500 people to escort him out of the city. He led
He rushed to Tianjing New City with his bodyguards and more than a dozen staff members to verify Yang Peng's head.
When they arrived at the official hall of Tianjing New City, before entering the courtyard of the official hall, Zha Dengbei smelled a pungent smell of blood. Although the head was covered with lime salt, the smell of blood still spread out and was extremely strong. etc.
Zha Denbei walked into the official hall of Tianjing New City, opened his eyes to look at the scene in the official hall, and was immediately shocked by the two piles of heads piled up like two hills.
Although I have seen such a posture once in three years, this year, there are even more heads piled up, almost filling the entire courtyard of the official hall. Not to mention the gorgeous body of Xiao Tianyou placed on the trolley.
Golden armor. Killing the general of the Liao Kingdom in formation. This was a military achievement that had never been achieved in the Song Dynasty.
Chadenbei was secretly frightened, and secretly thought that Yang Peng had made new achievements and gained great power, but he must not offend him. Chadenbei stood in the courtyard for a while, and then he saw Yang Peng, Huyan Chijin, and seven or eight others.
The subordinates came out. Yang Peng did not kneel down, and shouted to himself with a careless hand:
"You are well, Governor!" The military attachés behind Yang Peng followed suit and bowed to Cha Dengbei.
Chadenbei is now in awe of Yang Peng's strength. Even if Yang Peng is rude, Chadenbei does not dare to correct Yang Peng. Yang Peng is angered, and Yang Peng goes to the emperor to get a copy of his own. He is not a governor.
It was done. Zha Dengbei pinched his nose in his heart and endured Yang Peng's scorn, but with a smile on his face, he said: "The city lord has made another new achievement! He actually killed the Khitan general Xiao Tianyou? Captured and killed more than 20,000 people.
?”
Yang Peng said with a smile: "Please, the governor, check these heads!" Chadenbei turned his head and looked at the dozen staff behind him. The dozen teachers immediately rolled up their sleeves and sat in the yard, and
The servants in the official hall came to the water basin and began to inspect the heads one by one. They checked the faces, braids, hair and beard, and gloss. They inspected each item in detail. The final results reported made the examiner ready to take a breath.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
The 24,926-level Khitan heads were all real heads. If the heads were real, then Xiao Tianyou’s body must also be real. For such a big thing as killing a Khitan general, the officials would quickly deal with it.
If it can be verified by detailed work outside the Great Wall, it is impossible for Yang Peng to dare to talk nonsense.
When Zhadenbei heard the final confirmation, his hands trembled a little. How big a victory was this? Although Yang Peng took the credit, he also had merit as the governor of Cangzhou! Zhadenbei looked at Yang Peng and said
: "The Lord of the City is really a tiger general! I don't know how happy the housekeeper will be to report such great military exploits!"
After thinking for a while, Chadenbei asked tentatively: "The city lord has more than 20,000 heads. How can he give out dozens of them to other battalion military attachés? Not asking for merit, but just to show that they are not so timid and avoid fighting?" Yang Peng laughed.
He smiled and said: "It is a fact that they are afraid of the enemy and avoid fighting. My Tianjing New City was besieged for three days, and no soldiers and horses came to save it!"
"This head cannot be separated even at the first level!" Cha Denbei looked at the tough Yang Peng, took a breath, but still pinched his nose and said obediently: "The city lord is becoming more and more decisive in doing things, this is the country's
Blessing!"
What happened after all? Let’s hear the details next time.
