The rough shouts and laughter among the Liao soldiers rose and fell from time to time, and a Khitan voice said, "You can do anything you can't do in your own territory after entering the city!"Women, wealth, kill people, ignite fire!
Xiao Duli rode his horse to the forefront of the cavalry vanguard. In the distance, people sent by the three cavalry and Hedong Army were running towards each other side.
In the dry autumn wind, sand and stones are flying, and yellow sand is everywhere. The ancient and old Daizhou City is in the depths of dust, like a ruin left by ancient times.Thousands of troops were spreading in the wild, and the iron armor, swords and guns were shining with the cold light of stars.
Xiao Duli watched for a while, raised his hand and shouted loudly in Khitan words: Stop!
He turned his head and said to the deputy generals around him: Something is strange, don’t get close for now, and send someone to tent again.
The generals successively strangled the horses and observed the scene ahead, and formed formations one by one, with the commander reminding everyone that the battle seemed to be set up against each other.
Xiao Duli looked at it for a long time, then looked up at the sky, and only the buzzing noise was heard in his ears.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a cavalry running from the gap between the formation. The cavalry in leather was not enough to dismount, so I pressed my chest and said anxiously: "Master, something is wrong. The elite soldiers of Xu's army rushed to me from the southwest, burned our camp, and were dividing their troops to attack Yanmen!"
What?!Xiao Duli's eyes widened, and the blue veins immediately bulged from both sides of his forehead!
The troops were immediately in an uproar, and someone shouted: You've fallen into a trap!
Xiao Duli asked the knight: What kind of man is it?
The knight said: Xu's army and horses are strong, with one man and two horses, and everyone wears armor. They must be the imperial guards!
Damn, hasn’t Dong Zunhui been to Xinzhou yet?!Xiao Duli stared at him and scolded.
A general said: Yang Ye and Dong Zunhui were quietly put in!It's also true that it's not that fast!
Xiao Duli was confused, not sure whether it was Dong Zunhui running too fast or the news of being a scout was wrong, but the situation in front of him was that the retreat was suddenly cut off!
The forward cut off the back, and the army turned around!Xiao Duli shouted immediately, and after shouting, he turned his head around.
...Not long after, a flash of fire suddenly flashed in the distance, and the flags in the thick smoke were quickly submerged.
Boom boom boom... After the huge roar was shining, the fire was like a bolt from the blue, and it let out a fierce roar.The sound shakes this ancient land and tears through the deadly sky in the east of the river!
The rapid iron ball broke through the air from the dust and flew lower and lower over the heads of the knights.
Bang!With a heavy impact, the iron ball hit the dry ground and immediately jumped up, hitting the ground with cracks and broken soil.
hiss!The war horse, which was so close that it suddenly stopped in shock, raised its front hooves in the dust.
A knight behind suddenly leaned back from the horse's back, his head exploded like a watermelon, and blood was splashed everywhere on the yellow soil, and even flesh was splashed.
The screams of people and the neighing of horses came from everywhere.At this time, the Hedong Army was still nearly a mile away.
The sound of cannons was like a bamboo pole piercing the hornet's nest inside and outside Daizhou City, and the drums and roars rang together for a moment.
Someone neighed and shouted something. Every time he shouted, a shout sounded among the soldiers and horses, and then he heard the Chinese shouts of thousands of troops: Long live!Long live……
A cavalry surged, and the Han soldiers moved northwards. The war horses in front ran faster and faster, rushing faster and faster like mudslides. The sound of horse hooves rolled like waves, and the loess flew on the earth like smoke.
The Liao army vanguard obeyed the order and did not turn around, and instead advanced.The two people hedged to each other, and the smoke stomped by the horse's hooves was spreading like burning fire smoke!
The two armies met with the enemy, and they crackled everywhere like fried beans. It was the powerful sound of military bows and arrows vibrated!
The cavalry in front of the Liao army let go of the reins, clamped the horse's back with both legs, and flexibly swayed up and down with the horse's up and down, and pulled the bowstring with both hands, and slapped... In the hazy dust fog, the black shadow of the long suffocation was very terrifying and screamed everywhere.
Soon, the sound of killing on the battlefield was shaking, the dancing weapons appeared and the people seemed to struggle in the mud!
The cavalry of the Hedong Army was not the opponent of the Liao army, and the troops could not advance, so they only rushed back and forth around.
On the chaotic battle formation, several Hedong soldiers and horses were directly defeated by the Liao army.
But the Liao army did not dare to pursue, because the large number of infantry soldiers in the south were spreading towards the battle formation.
...Xiao Duli led his army to pass by the camp last night, and saw black smoke everywhere, corpses everywhere, and a mess.
All the generals around him were anxious.Xiao Duli didn't have time to pay attention to what was going on now!Anyway, it was a few big names in the North Court of Shangtou who told him how he did it. Now he asked who to go?
Xiao Duli was still calm. After seeing the scene of the camp with his own eyes, he immediately said: Reinforce Yanmen Pass immediately and must keep the retreat!Xu Jun rushed to attack from afar, exhausted from his men and horses, and if he wanted to survive, he would kill him!
While pointing in the direction of the various troops, he mobilized the troops and arranged them, he took out a thick old map and looked at it.
The mountains and rivers on the east side are on the inside and outside, with a terrain like a river. There are flat rivers between the continuous mountains, and mountains and rivers are intersecting.
The Daizhou area within Yanmen Pass is like a Sichuan character sloping to the right: the Yanmen Mountains are in the north and the Wutai Mountains in Taihang to the south.
Now Xiao Duli is sandwiched in the corridor between the two major mountains. To the southwest is the direction of Xu Jun Dong Zunhui's army, and to the southeast is the Yangye's army of Daizhou Hedong Army. Once the road to Yanmen Pass is blocked, you cannot enter from north to south!
Xiao Duli followed the Liao army north to the foot of Yanmen Mountain, hoping to reinforce the battle for Yanmen Pass along the way.
Before the march was over, I saw a lot of infantry soldiers waiting there on the road into the mountains. The horses were behind the phalanx, and it seemed that they were infantry riding horses.
If you don’t fight, you will die!Defeat the enemy camp!Xiao Duli ordered.
The vanguard of the Liao army's northern wing immediately approached the Xu army camp. This place had reached the remaining veins of Yanmen Pass. The mountains were smooth, but they were rolling and undulating.
The cavalry advanced on the undulating terrain, and at first glance it seemed like horses were everywhere in the mountains!
The shouts and horse hooves were resounding across the mountains. The Liao army surrounded the two sides and attacked the two wings of the Xu army on the hillside.Obviously, Dong Zunhui's troops were unable to carry heavy artillery when they attacked, and the Liao army easily approached the square formation group.
However, Xu's army has terrain advantages, and the Xu's infantry has perfectly played their offensive and defensive strengths in this terrain.
The Liao army's cavalry did not have a sprint speed, so it was difficult to break the formation; and the two rows of heavy infantry holding spears in front of Xu's army were difficult to break through with dense spears; the rows of firearms in the back used the height drop to aim the firearms at the Liao army's horses in rows.
Dingdong... Suddenly, the strings of the guqin sounded, and the strings, horizontal blows and drums in the crowd of Xu Jun played military music. The rhythm was mixed with the noise of shouting and screaming, which seemed very abrupt and strange.
This Xu Jun's light troops attacked, and even brought musical instruments, which made the equipment really luxurious.
It looks very good and has a very good appearance. The flag is made of silk, and a large tiger-patterned banner also has gold thread embroidery!
The soldiers' clothes were made of leather and armor, and they were also very distinct. The red tassels on the helmets were like red flowers in spring. In this remote border area full of loess, these people were out of place.
The sound of the strings mixed with the sound of the saxal flying with arrows, and the Liao army cavalry shot first to shoot arrows.
Xu Jun shouted in the square formation, and the soldiers braved the casualties in the rain of arrows and shouted in unison, and the array remained stable!
Suddenly, a gong sounded, and a square flag waved forward, and firearms exploded in rows!
Although the lead bullet was small, it could still be seen faintly, flying towards the Liao army crowd like sand and gravel.
Ah!A Liao army covered his face with his hands, and blood leaped out of his fingers, dripping downwards. He neighed and screamed on the back of the horse.
There were also war horses slumped on the slope, struggling and falling, and the cavalry rolled down the hillside yelled.
Muskets were heard in endless streams, and rows of fire were fired.The Liao army suffered many casualties, and the cavalry that rushed in front of them could not enter even when facing the dense spears.The two hillsides were chaotic and noisy for a long time, and the Liao army soon retreated.
After a while, the Liao army gathered cavalry again and attacked from the front to the front, so that at least it was no longer an attack on the back.
The explosion of gunpowder quickly rang out in the mountains again, with the sound of music and noise, only noisy on the battle formation.Apart from this, there was no people in the mountains, so terrifyingly quiet that the noise on the battle formation seemed to be in a dream.
Xiao Duli immediately stepped forward and saw the Daliao cavalry who was rushing forward storm constantly falling on the road, and his heart was bleeding!
The Liao army elite cavalry was the strongest force in the world at this time. Even if the Xu army elite cavalry, who had a lot of money and well-equipped, could not get any advantage in horse fighting tactics and combat power...
However, under the urgency, he could only let the elite rush to the front of the infantry!Before the result was achieved, Xiao Duli's sense of frustration surged into his heart.
Bang!With its rapid charge, the cavalry finally rushed to the Xu army's formation. The fearless Liao army warriors drove straight to the horses and hit them. The horses were neighing in a terrifying manner, but they could not stop the speed of the charge and hit them!
Bang bang... The firearm behind the square formation raised and shot at him. Blood beads splattered on the chest of the Khitan soldiers, the iron bones in their hands also fell off, and their whole body was shaking like sieve chaff.
Ah!The Khitan screamed last time, and a cherry gun was inserted into the waist.
The Liao cavalry followed one after another, and immediately several cavalry rushed in.The square formation in the middle of Xu's army was in chaos, but the infantry did not retreat, and instead swarmed and besieged the rushing Liao army.
With just one stick of incense, the Liao army could not stand such casualties and continued to attack, and gradually retreated and reorganized the troops.
Deputy General Yelu Huer said: It is better to ask Xi soldiers to go up, with the sword and shield hands in front and the archer behind, and the shooting and expend Xu Jun from eighty steps.
Yang Gun also said: Deputy General Yelu's words are reasonable. Xu's weapons have a short range and are less than 80 steps away. Even if they can, they cannot penetrate Lu's silk at the end of their strength, let alone the firearm?
At this moment, Xiao Duli received a report: The left-wing (Western) large-scale Xu Jun cavalry approached!
Xiao Duli sighed after hearing the news: The situation is urgent, it is too late.
He looked at the scene ahead and knew that he would not dare to bypass this infantry force, and such a path would be even more inescapable of chasing troops.
The road after entering the mountain is relatively narrow, and the army in the mountain cannot be blocked and it is very easy to be congested. At that time, a large number of people are trapped in the mountains and are more likely to be blocked and chased.
Yang Ye's army is east to the south, Dong Zunhui's cavalry is west, and the road to Yanmen to the north has been blocked... Xiao Duli turned around and looked to the east.
Xiao Duli rode his horse to the forefront of the cavalry vanguard. In the distance, people sent by the three cavalry and Hedong Army were running towards each other side.
In the dry autumn wind, sand and stones are flying, and yellow sand is everywhere. The ancient and old Daizhou City is in the depths of dust, like a ruin left by ancient times.Thousands of troops were spreading in the wild, and the iron armor, swords and guns were shining with the cold light of stars.
