Chapter 402: Revolving Shaft
Arrows flew through the sky, and the flag with the word "He" on the front line below was shattered in the wind.
The tight formation, the crowd was densely filled with the vast Khitan step formation, shouting and killing like a tide filled people's ears, and the iron-clad shield hit fiercely, and the spear stabbed wildly according to the flesh and blood of the people. The soldiers on both sides shouted bitterly, and a large amount of blood was splattering in their sight.
In the formation, He Gui's face was covered in blood. He fought for half a month and had already left the court several times. He had just been dragged back from the front line by his personal guards. The original 15,000 people, and in half a month, only eight thousand left was in front of him. He threw the gap in his sword to the ground, pulled out a long sword from a corpse on the ground, and shouted: "Continue--"
On the front line he was in contact, his voice could not be conveyed to the soldiers. At this time, the orders of the generals who were supervising the battle and fighting in person were crucial. A small school was also screaming, slashing the shield in his hand at the opposite shield. The moment sparks splashed, he hit the shield forward with a fierce blow.
"Stay steady, knock it back!"
boom!
The response was only dozens of invaders on both sides. After several days of fighting, many people had already reached an exhausted place, holding their shields and trembling slightly.
"Yan Bao, I'm going to go!" He Gui cursed in the formation. A military formation half apart, a general named Yan Bao, seemed to hear a curse. The array of three thousand people suddenly moved and quickly approached the battle front line.
Over there, the Khitan tribal army, who also suffered severe personnel reduction, Yelu Xie Niechi narrowed his eyes and had to divide 6,000 troops from 30,000 troops to prevent possible attacks from the other party. Even if he knew that the other party was a feint, he had to prevent false acts from happening.
Sending six thousand people should be enough.
He thought.
However, the three thousand Jin troops approaching here were a little different from usual. Yan Bao drew his sword, got off the war horse, and walked in the array with his subordinates walking forward.
"I won't be a feint attack this time, let everyone prepare-"
"I'm going to kill you finally!"
For half a month, He Gui's military formation has been fighting against the tribe army. He has already been angry next to him, especially when he saw a large number of soldiers killed and injured, he couldn't help but get angry after returning to the camp. The reply he got was a feint after all, waiting for the opportunity.
At present, the order of attack was delivered to him half an hour ago. At this moment, he finally breathed his breath and the order of preparing to take the battle was conveyed one by one from Yan Bao. While he tore off the cloth strip from the cloak, tied the hilt of the knife and his palm tightly, many soldiers around him drew their swords and pressed their guns, and then his pace became faster and faster.
The moment an arrow flew over, the shield guards in front of him raised their shields, and the spear behind them pressed down like a forest, pointing straight at the six thousand tribes coming towards them.
"Collide!"
The arrow shot into the crowd and bounced from the shield to the ground. The large shields raised side by side also rushed into everyone's hands at this moment, rushing into the Khitan army formation opposite.
The straight front line suddenly bent, the shield collided violently, squeezing wildly, and the soldiers holding the spear slashed behind the shield, and blood waves rolled and splashed outside the human body.
The sudden confrontation surprised Yelu Xie Niechi, and then more orders were issued from his hands. Almost at the same time, the tribe of the tribe who monitored the three thousand Han soldiers rushed over, as if an arm cut into the battlefield and shot arrows at them.
"Stay filial piety!"
Geng Qing watched the opponent's scattered cavalry gathered close to the battlefield in the back formation, and then turned his face. The next moment, a snowflake war horse jumped out of the array. Li Cunxiao dragged the soldiers out and shouted: "Fu Daozhao, bring the cavalry and follow me-"
The moment he passed through the two arrays, behind Li Cunxiao who had gone away, he followed one by one, and a total of five thousand cavalrymen rose and fell and surging forward, launching a fierce attack on the group of tribal light cavalry that entered the battlefield, protecting Yan Bao's team's flanks.
In an instant, the surging iron cavalry fell into the sparse tribal light cavalry like raindrops. The blades and arrows intertwined the front line, and figures kept falling on the horse's back. Fu Daozhao, carrying eight short spears, raised his hand and threw it out. The running Khitan light cavalry rushed to the ground, with his people and horses.
Under the Sun and Moon Banner, Yelu Abaoji looked at the battle front line, and the cavalry that was facing the battle on the other side of the battlefield, raised his hand slightly: "Let the Pi Shi Army go down, behead the enemy general, and present the head to my feet!"
Wow!
The messenger ran and sounded the trumpet.
The Pishou Army, who had been quietly stationed around the Sun and Moon Banner, divided more than 10,000 cavalry and slowly moved, rushing out of the array like a torrent, spreading towards the battlefield on the left.
"I have shown my trump card. Although I haven't shown it all, it can be seen that the Khitan Emperor is also anxious!" Geng Qing said to Wang Yanzhang beside him with a smile. He looked at the rolling torrent in the distance, his hand behind him clenched into a fist, and his palm was covered with cold sweat.
Yelu Abaoji sent his tent and his cavalry to show that he was already a little anxious about the war, but the number of people here was too small. Even if there was a tiger general like Li Cunxiao, it was difficult to defeat the other party.
‘The time is almost done, why is there no news yet…’
Geng Qing whispered softly, Wang Yanzhang and Li Siyuan were not sure what he was saying. When he looked over, Geng Qing smiled: "Pull the firearm camp up."
"yes!"
Gu Yan
Li Siyuan finally had a smile on his face. You know, in the past half month, the number of soldiers has become fewer and fewer. Although the Khitan on the opposite side is the same, the other party has a total of 110,000 troops, and after all, there are more than his own side after all.
He ordered King Yong's order and hurriedly led people to the rear formation. Shortly after the cavalry on both sides of the distance began to contact and fight, Li Siyuan returned. In the rear, heavy big guys rolled over with wooden wheels. They were protected by shields and were gradually pushed to the front. They entered the range of the battle and stopped. The four iron feet quickly placed them in front and back to prevent slipping.
Each firearm has special soldiers to assist. As soon as the wooden wheel stopped, the calibrated soldiers had already begun to adjust the angle of the muzzle. The loaded soldiers opened the upper cover and quickly placed the already prepared gunpowder and refined flint into the exact position.
"Tell Li Cunxiao, Yan Bao, and He Gui to send an order to keep them apart!"
Wang Yanzhang heard the firearm camp under King Yong's command and knew that it was terrifying. He quickly sent an order to blew the horn in front of him. The order to retreat was conveyed to the battlefield. Li Cunxiao was rushing into the crowd. King Yu's spear drew across the trajectory and roared on the man's iron helmet, directly smashing the other party's head to pieces and hearing the unique horn sound.
He looked back and swung his long spear to slam the Khitan cavalry on the other side, banging the opponent's long spear, bent the opponent's long spear, and the huge force fell out, and it directly touched the head of the war horse under the opponent's body, flesh and skull burst instantly, smashing the war horse to the ground.
"Get the distance!"
Soon after, a fire ignited in the array of their own houses behind them.
......
"Regular, the first correction!"
When the burning torch was shouting out from the school, it fell off the thick black cannon body, and the lead was lit with a sneer, dragging the flames into it quickly.
Then, the soldiers who pulled the rope pulled out with force, and there was a "bang!" sound, with flame light, black smoke, and a black sphere rushed into the sky, crossing a long distance, flying over the cavalry cluster rushing behind the downward direction, and then... with a light bang, it landed two feet at the position of the tribal cavalry who were reorganizing the formation.
"What's this?!"
Some Khitan light cavalry pointed to the ground curiously, and there were something slightly burning with flames. Someone rode a horse and leaned out obliquely, grabbed the things on the ground in his hands, and returned excitedly.
He said in Khitan language: "It's a knot. The Han people want to use this to smash people?"
As soon as the words fell, there were huge sounds and waves of sounds around and even further away in the sight of the Khitan light cavalry, accompanied by a ball of flames. The cavalry and the horses around the cavalry fell to the ground in an instant, and countless dense things flew out, hitting people's faces, bodies, and war horses, making dense blood holes.
"What..." The Khitan cavalry who reacted whispered, and above the field of vision, more black iron lumps flew into the sky densely and then fell down.
Fall into the middle of the panicked war horses of the Khitan or fall short of the progressive party array.
One breath.
Boom boom!
Boom boom boom boom boom boom-
The flowers of flames instantly bloomed among the crowd. The waves of air were mixed with iron chips. The iron beads rushed in all directions. Hundreds of figures fell down. The war horses ran around in frightened. The infantrymen were overturned. Many of them did not die, but were hit by the little things that ejected out, and they bleed continuously.
Yelu Abaoji looked at this scene blankly, and there were many commands in his mind that seemed to be blocked. He rushed to his mouth and turned into a "uh" confusion and exhaled softly.
My mind was almost out of reach. Even the tribe leaders and commanders around me were shocked and I didn't understand what it was.
After all, it was the emperor who established the country on horseback. Yelu Abaoji quickly came to his senses and made a quick decision to order the withdrawal of troops. Even if he was inevitably pursued, he would withdraw his troops and rest first to calm the soldiers and calm the soldiers.
Sure enough, as soon as the troops were withdrawn, the Han people retreated immediately came up and chased after several miles before retreating.
Back in the camp, Yelu Abaoji did not immediately summon the generals, but sat alone in the tent of the gods, pouring wine into his mouth one by one. Soon, he came to Lu Wenjin and asked if the other party knew what it was. The reply he received disappointed him.
"No matter what, we must find a way to get one. If the Han people always have such weapons in the future, how can they fight against it?"
"By the way, the rear baggage will be taken here in three days. The army's food and fodder will be almost insufficient."
After giving some trivial things, the night gradually shrouded in the distance. Among the mountains in the distance, three cannons were dragged to the edge of the cliff. Looking at the Khitan camp two or three miles away below, Dou Wei touched his bulging belly, "I asked the Khitans to get up and pee!"
The gushing fire illuminated people's faces and also alarmed the camp below. When several iron eggs fell into the camp and exploded, Yelu Abaoji hurriedly came out of the tent and was protected by his personal guards in the middle. His scalp was numb and looked at the blooming fire in the camp.
How can I beat this?!
