As soon as the two sides fought, they knew who was better. The Jurchens moved as fast as tigers and leopards. They did not use saddles and sat directly on the bare horses. However, their bodies seemed to grow on the horses' backs. They leaned forward and backward, and were extremely flexible.
The crescent knives in their hands have a weird shape, with a wide circle in the middle. It seems very inconvenient, but it is a multi-purpose knife. It can stab, cut and even be used as a small shield. But in fact, the reason why the Jurchens use this kind of middle
The broad scimitar is for convenience when hunting. The middle blade can be used as a chopping board or a fire table. Meat can be placed on it as a barbecue board, and the saw teeth around it can be used to saw wood. According to legend, it is a Jurchen tribe.
A multi-purpose knife invented by a warrior in the war. This solved the problem of the Jurchens carrying too many items when they were crossing mountains, forests and streams. Simplifying their luggage with one knife made it much more convenient.
In the short tea time, the Liao cavalry suffered numerous casualties, and the screams resounded throughout the wilderness. The 30,000 cavalry quickly lost thousands of casualties under the heavy siege, and it was a completely one-sided crushing and strangulation situation. Soon after, the Liao cavalry began to
They fled back and gave up resistance, because they were not opponents at all and could not organize a decent formation to fight.
Nearly 20,000 Liao cavalry began to turn their horses and run towards the way they came. How could the Jurchens let them go? At this moment, they showed another way to use the crescent sword. All the Jurchens raised their swords in their hands while shouting.
The scimitar knife was thrown out, and the air suddenly resounded with the sound of tens of thousands of scimitars spinning in the air. Throwing weapons is a taboo. Everyone knows that throwing a weapon means losing the battle.
Ability, no one is stupid enough to do this.
However, the Jurchens used practical actions to tell the world that throwing weapons was not a stupid move. On the contrary, it was their ultimate killing move. The scimitars hovering in the air were flying in the air, and the sharp blades fell from the bodies, necks and arms of the fleeing Liao cavalry.
It passed by, splashing countless blood mist, and then these scimitar knives circled and flew back to the hands of the people who threw them in strange trajectories. The scimitar knife became a throwing gyration weapon in the hands of the Jurchens. This is exactly what the scimitar knife is.
The biggest mystery lies in the strange shape of the Moon Knife.
Jurchens do not need arrows, but every Jurchen can throw boomerangs. In mountain forests with many obstacles, Jurchen warriors with exquisite skills can throw weapons from between dense forests, and after hitting their prey, they can also circle and fly back.
If this skill were used in the martial arts of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it would probably be an exquisite hidden weapon skill. From this point of view, all Jurchen warriors can be regarded as masters in martial arts.
The whistling and circling scimitar made the sound of wind and thunder in the night sky, and the screams resounded through the wilderness. Each Liao cavalry covered their necks and turned over and fell to the ground. The horses dragged their corpses and still ran wildly,
But the people on the horse were already dead. The Jurchens chased on horseback, throwing revolving weapons at the same time. After chasing out of the land of Lixu, more than 20,000 Liao cavalry had been cut off like leeks.
At one time, there were less than seven or eight thousand people left.
At this moment, the panicked Chinese cavalry brigade of Yelucai was already in front.
"You guys, kill me!" Wanyan Agu let out a thundering roar. All the Jurchen warriors were like hares running around on the grassland, densely covering the ground and rushing toward the chaotic Liao cavalry army.
.
Yelucai was shocked when his front team suffered a sudden attack. He was extremely cautious, but he still got it right. How could so many soldiers and horses suddenly appear in the wilderness? He was not aware of it beforehand. This is simply unbelievable.
Understood. However, Yelucai did not get too confused. After all, he had been wary before, so he immediately ordered the Chinese army to prepare for the enemy. Yelucai did not dare to rashly order the main force of the Chinese army to rush into the battle.
In the regiment, because he didn't know what the enemy's situation was or what traps there were, he ordered 80,000 Chinese cavalry to stand in front, all with their bows and arrows bent, waiting for the opponent's charge.
The dark enemies came like a tide, and Yelucai gave the order to snipe with bows and arrows. Bows and arrows rained down like a rain, and the galloping cavalry fell in the middle one after another. However, soon, the Chinese Liao cavalrymen
Then they discovered that what they shot was not the Jurchens, but the seven or eight thousand Liao cavalry who fled from the front. These Liao cavalry successfully escaped from the opponent's ambush circle, and were lucky enough to avoid the Jurchens' revolving knife.
, those who could escape back were extremely lucky people. However, they failed to escape the rain of arrows from their own people in the end. Seven or eight thousand Liao cavalry were almost killed by the dense arrows. At this point, with the joint efforts of both the enemy and ourselves,
Under the attack, all the 30,000 Liao cavalry in the front group were wiped out.
Not only that, after shooting their own soldiers and horses, the soldiers of the Liao Cavalry Army discovered that the Jurchens from behind did not charge immediately. They stopped hundreds of steps away, shouted loudly, and did not enter.
The range of the bow and arrow. This means that the blocking of the arrow did not cause harm to them at all. The two sides suddenly formed a brief confrontation. The Jurchen army seemed not to dare to approach, and the Liao cavalry army did not dare to step forward. They only bent their bows and nocked arrows.
To wait.
But the confrontation did not last long. As the long trumpet sound resounded through the wilderness, the Jurchen cavalry moved east. They separated into two groups of troops and started galloping from the two wings. Most of the troops in the front remained motionless. This is the most classic
To deal with the opponent's intensive defense tactics, when the opponent counterattacks with fierce firepower, the roundabout troops and horses on both sides can effectively mobilize the enemy's deployment. The opponent's original formation was to guard against the charging troops and horses directly in front, but now they have to change their formation to guard against it.
There are tens of thousands of Jurchen cavalry on the flanks. If they do not change their formation, the Jurchen cavalry on the flanks will quickly break into the opponent's formation and disrupt the Liao army's formation, thereby creating an opportunity for a frontal attack on the Jurchen cavalry on the front.
This method really worked. In order to prevent the opponent's flank from cutting in, Yelvcai had to order the cavalry on both sides to retreat.
However, once the cavalry formation, numbering up to 70,000 to 80,000, started to move, it was not so easy to control. A gap appeared in the formation in an instant, and some chaos arose. And this little chaos was immediately caught by the Jurchens
Living.
"My sons, the time has come to avenge the death of my Jurchen brothers and wash away the shame of being oppressed and bullied by our Jurchen clan. God of Immortality, bless our Jurchen warriors to win and send all these Liao dogs to hell. Kill!"
"Wanyan Aguda let out a loud roar, pointed the crescent knife forward in his hand, and rushed out with a roar on his horse.
In an instant, the entire earth began to tremble. Amid the galloping of thousands of horses, the Jurchen cavalry made a frightening and strange cry and rushed toward the Liao cavalry formation hundreds of steps away.
"Hehehehe!"
The crescent moon knife was spinning above the head, and the Jurchen cavalry's bodies were twisting left and right on the horse, making various movements. If you think these are useless movements, you are wrong. When the Liao cavalry's bows and arrows filled the sky
When it arrived, the crescent knife spinning on the top of the head and forehead seemed to be a rotating shield, hitting the arrows in pieces. The twisting body often avoided the meteor-like flying arrows at critical moments. Although according to normal
According to the principle, twisting the body in the rain of arrows does not reduce the chance of being hit. But this twisting behavior actually gives the body some inertial vitality so that it can avoid some fatal arrows at any time. This is
Just like when boxing, some people like to jump and shake their bodies. This is not to use up energy, but to keep the body in a certain rhythm, so that it can make some evasive and offensive movements. Although the Jurchens do not think about the principle of this,
But they will do it, and they have always done it.
Yelucai shouted loudly and ordered the cavalry to fire arrows to kill. The Liao cavalry fired countless arrows at the enemy. Of course, due to the mobilization of the formation, nearly 30,000 cavalry failed to shoot arrows in time. But even so, the dense
The feather arrows still caused huge casualties to the charging Jurchens. The crescent knife could not completely block the rain of arrows, and twisting the body could not guarantee safety. Countless Jurchen warriors fell down after being struck by arrows, and countless war horses fell down.
The ground rolled and roared, and in just a few moments, thousands were killed and injured.
But the charge had already begun, and it could no longer be resisted. As the two Jurchen cavalry on the flanks quickly cut into the Liao cavalry formation, the Jurchen cavalry who had suffered more than 6,000 casualties in the frontal direction also approached twenty or thirty paces.
distance. The next moment was the moment for the Jurchens to show off their skills. Countless meniscus knives circled out with the whistling sound of the wind, like countless rotating blades cutting into the opponent. They circled and flew through the opponent's crowd, carrying away
A puff of flesh and blood then flew back into the owner's hand. It was like a living blade, as if it had eyes, traveling back and forth.
When the front row of the Liao cavalry fell to the ground one after another, the formations of both sides officially rushed to one point. A close-range firefight officially began.
