(Add a few more to the collection, I leaked them, yes, I read that right, I leaked them...)
Frightened into a cold sweat by his own speculation, Geng Zhongxin immediately ordered the rangers who were three miles away to gather back, and then sent his own soldiers to deliver a message to Di Gan, asking Di Gan to lead troops here immediately for support. After arranging everything
, Geng Zhongxin immediately led his army and rushed in the direction of Mu Li's headquarters.
One thousand and five hundred light cavalry galloped at full speed, as fast as the wind. Both the Dangxiang people and the Khitan people are people on horseback. Men have been carried on horseback by their fathers since they could run. Seven or eight
He can gallop on a horse at the age of 10. In this era, the grassland on the Inner Mongolia prairie is rich and herders do not need to make a choice where to graze. As long as they follow the water source, there is good pasture everywhere. When the boy is about ten years old, he can
Go out to herd alone, give him a bow, and within two years he will be able to shoot a running rabbit.
By the time a man reaches the age of fifteen or sixteen, he has been fed beef and mutton to become very strong. Relatively speaking, at this age, a man from a Central Plains family with good family conditions is studying in a school, while a man from a mediocre family condition may be working in the fields. At the same time, men from the grasslands are
, many of them have already killed and let go of blood. Even though Daxia has almost unified the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, the battles between tribes will still not subside.
Party cavalry has always been a nightmare for the Central Plains army. If it were not for the perverted cavalry led by Liu Ling who came to hunt in the grassland this time, I am afraid that the hunter and the prey would have swapped places long ago.
Because they had deliberately stayed away from Mu Li's troops, the distance between the two sides had increased from thirty miles to at least forty miles. If the cavalry were to run wildly, it would take an hour at the fastest while maintaining formation.
. If a person rides alone, the speed will be much faster, but at this time, it is obviously unrealistic to send scouts to inquire about the information and then rush over.
Geng Zhongxin felt very heavy. He always thought that he had set up a very good and realistic situation, just waiting for the other party to dive in and die. His previous judgment was correct. The Khitan general was an adventurous person, and
It was far crazier than he imagined. Perhaps from the moment he divided his troops, the other party had no intention of using him as bait, but instead aimed its fangs at the 3,500 cavalrymen under Mu Li's command.
When I think of these Geng Zhongxin, I hate the cunningness of the Khitan general, and I hate myself for being an idiot. Since I have deduced that once the troops are divided, the Khitans will find a rally to devour one team, why didn't I consider that the other party might go after them?
Mu Li's trouble? Why are he so sure that the Khitans will come to cause trouble for him? Now the only thing Geng Zhongxin hopes for is that Mu Li is prepared. After all, he has 3,500 battle-hardened warriors under his command.
As long as they can be stopped and defended effectively, the Khitan's heavy armor of less than 2,000 men may not be able to swallow up Mu Li's team.
Of course, this is just Geng Zhongxin’s wishful thinking. Even he himself does not believe that the Khitans will fail. After all, the setting made from the very beginning is that his team will be used as a bait to attract the Khitans to be fooled.
He was careful not to think that if he left a force of 1,500 men that had been divided again, the Khitans would attack him with a total of 3,500 cavalry under his command.
When I thought of taking advantage of the dark night, the Khitan heavy armor wearing black clothes and black armor marched neatly in the night, crashing into Muli's camp like a torrent, the panicked Xixia soldiers were overwhelmed before they could organize a resistance.
The Khitan people killed them as if they were chopping melons to make tea. What was the difference between the fate of the 3,500 cavalrymen who had no time to mount their horses and the 4,000 infantrymen in the Tiande army's camp? Geng Zhongxin felt that his heart was bleeding, and he was heartbroken.
He urged his mounts like crazy, and the troops were pulled into a straight line because of the speed. The horse's foot strength determined the speed. The team of 1,500 people was stretched out for a full five miles, and the front and back were disconnected. However,
Geng Zhongxin didn't have time to stop and reorganize his team now. He was afraid that he would no longer be able to see the smile of his good brother Mu Li in the blink of an eye.
Knowing that their companions might be in danger, the Xixia cavalry gritted their teeth and hurried on. No one talked among them, and everyone's eyes were full of anxiety. In Mu Li's team, there were their answers,
There are Andas who have drank blood wine, and there are Andas who have grown up together. But now, their Andas may have received the call from the Immortal Heaven and left the prairie to go to another world.
They couldn't wait. Maybe if they went a step earlier, they could snatch a few more brothers back from those damn Khitans. Maybe if they went a step too late, they would never see a living friend again.
Now Geng Zhongxin could only place his hope on Mu Li's commanding ability. A completely unprepared army was raided by the enemy late at night. Even if Mu Li had 10,000, 20,000, or even 35,000 troops, he would be defeated.
Already doomed. The key is how many people can be saved. This depends on whether Mu Li has the quality to remain calm in times of crisis. But Geng Zhongxin did not think about it. It can also be said that he refused to think about it. Even if Mu Li was not in chaos, he
He is still calm, but what can he do when all the cavalry under his command are in chaos?
Geng Zhongxin wanted to give himself a slap in the face. If he hadn't insisted on dividing the troops in his self-righteousness, the current annoying situation would not have happened. The Khitan was lured out, but it appeared in a place where it shouldn't be.
Estimating the distance, the team had already run more than half the distance. Already in the distance, they could see thick smoke rising in front of them. The grassland could be seen for thousands of miles, and the smoke was as clear as if it were right in front of them. Seeing the rising smoke, Geng
The loyal heart becomes even more urgent.
| "Quick! Faster!"
He roared loudly, and the cavalry behind him gritted his teeth and whipped his horse as hard as he could with his riding whip. The cavalry who usually regarded their mounts as the other half of their lives, no one felt sorry for Ma Li anymore at this time.
The most lush grassland is more than half a person tall. In such dry weather, a fire may save hundreds of miles. The herdsmen attach great importance to the grassland, so each of them has the awareness of being careful about fires, and they usually light bonfires.
When leaving, they would extinguish the fire and then crush it with earth, fearing that it would cause large-scale burning. Although it is winter now, even if a fire breaks out, grass seedlings will still sprout from the ground next spring, but herdsmen do not care about setting fires.
People who burn pastures always have great hatred.
And up front, have those damn Khitans forgotten that they are also descendants of the Immortal Heaven? They actually set fire again! This is an unforgivable crime!
It seemed that they were only two or three miles away, and the burned camp was clearly visible. An anxious Xixia soldier had already drawn out his scimitar and held it tightly.
The horses trampled over and dust flew up.
Suddenly, from the middle of the team, hundreds of heavy armored infantry in black clothes and black armor suddenly shot out from the grass on both sides! Yes, it was heavy armored infantry, not the heavy armored cavalry that the Xixia cavalry had been pursuing!
Hundreds of armor-piercing cones were fired at them, and two to three hundred Xixia cavalry were immediately shot off their horses. The distance was too close. The black-armored warriors hiding in the grass were only twenty or thirty steps away from the cavalry team. This distance could not be broken.
The armor cone can easily penetrate the body of the cavalry.
Almost instantly, the cavalry team in a straight line was cut off. All the knights within a hundred meters fell off their horses, and when the cavalry in front heard the shouts, they had already rushed out far away. The cavalry behind them had already rushed away.
The cavalrymen had no time to rein in their horses and rushed forward again as if they were dying.
After another round of arrow rain, hundreds of cavalry were shot down again. After clearing a gap of about 300 meters, the black-armored heavy infantry threw away their bows and arrows, replaced them with long spears in their hands, and formed a
A dense phalanx formed in front of the cavalry behind them. Long trees like a forest rose up, like a steel bunker.
Geng Zhongxin reined in his horse immediately. With his eyes red, he immediately drew out his scimitar, roared angrily, and led the more than 500 cavalrymen who rushed over in a circle to kill back. Only then did he turn his horse around.
Head, thousands of Qingqi suddenly came from the direction of Mu Li's headquarters!
There was a shower of arrows chasing after Geng Zhongxin. The Xixia soldiers who handed their backs to the enemy were shot down like dumplings. When they reined in their horses again and faced the pursuers behind them, the enemy's second and third rounds of arrows
The rain roared in. More than half of the more than 500 men under Geng Zhongxin were killed by three rounds of arrows. Immediately, 900 light cavalry with long spears crashed into their ranks like a flood.
Massacre, naked-naked massacre.
The murderous aura on those Khitan cavalry was so strong that each one of them was like a beast eating raw flesh and blood, carrying a monstrous evil aura. And the horses they sat on were equally frightening. The mounts of the Xixia cavalry, when they saw
The Khitan war horses retreated one after another. Some of the horses even had their legs trembling and were so frightened that they did not even dare to run!
The horses were frightened. The Xixia soldiers were busy controlling their mounts and dealing with the enemy's impact. Their combat effectiveness was not even 20% of the usual level. The horses did not obey the command, so these cavalry were helpless. I don't know why, they didn't understand why.
When his own horse saw a Khitan war horse, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran away!
After the 900 light cavalry eliminated the 500 cavalrymen under Geng Zhongxin, they lost more than 20 people. Under the command of Liu Ling, the 900 cavalrymen made a beautiful arc, bypassing the abandoned horses like a crescent moon, temporarily
The heavy cavalry phalanx, acting as heavy armored infantry, detoured back to the flanks of the Xixia soldiers.
Because the distance between the front and rear was too large, the following Xixia soldiers had not yet seen the square formation composed of heavy cavalry, and the loyal people in front had been slaughtered. The cavalry in the front tried to attack the square formation composed of 500 heavy armored cavalry.
, but the hedgehog-like phalanx cannot be broken through by their dozens of war horses. Their scimitars cannot reach the enemy, but the long horse spears in the enemy's hands can easily pierce their hearts.
The battle ended within half an hour. The 1,500 Xixia cavalry who came to support Paoze were almost wiped out by Liu Ling, and only less than 300 escaped. The Xixia cavalry could not let their horses rush towards the enemy, and they could not
Cross the phalanx formed by the steel jungle.
After the battle was quickly ended, Liu Ling immediately led his troops to the battlefield and almost wiped out the enemy at the cost of losing dozens of people. This was another brilliant victory.
In fact, Mu Li's team was not wiped out. Although his team was crippled by Liu Ling's cavalry in the raid last night, with his extraordinary courage and courage, Mu Li managed to organize 1,300 to 400 troops.
The cavalry withdrew from the battle. However, the Xixia soldiers were afraid of being beaten and did not dare to rush back to fight. Under the leadership of Mu Li, they fled without changing direction.
They ran away and Geng Zhongxin came.
Liu Ling caught the opponent off guard and annihilated Geng Zhongxin's tired and panicked cavalry in one fell swoop. The loss in this battle was minimal, but he killed at least 3,000 Xixia soldiers, and the result was brilliant.
After Liu Ling gathered the troops with the food he had packed up last night, he sat on his horse, looked at the remaining team of more than 1,300 people, and pointed toward the east.
