Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 647
Luo Youdu was worried that Gao Huaide had an accident, but when he saw him return with such awe-inspiring manner, he didn't know what to say for a while.

For Gao Huaide's force value, he has always given a very high evaluation.

Champion the three armies.

Since getting to know each other, Luo Youdu has never seen him lose in a martial arts competition, even Hu Yanzan and Lin Renzhao are not his opponents.

Seeing Gao Huaide returning with Yelv Tizi's body held high, he has a new understanding of the word Yong and refreshes his three views.

He always thought that the records in the history books of those fierce generals who were single-handedly beheading generals among thousands of armies were a bit exaggerated. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that some people may have abilities that capable people cannot and incapable people.

Gao Huaide came close, threw the corpse hanging on the spear to the ground, as if he had done a trivial thing, and said: "The end will return!"

Facing this situation, Luo Youdu had no choice but to clap his palms and laughed loudly: "The power of Marshal Ma, with thousands of troops to fight against Yi, is used to frighten Xiao Xiao, but overqualified and underserved."

He looked at the Pishi army retreating in embarrassment, raised his head and said: "Go back and tell you the Khitan chief, he has no real skills, no matter how many small tricks, it's just a joke. If the obedient meat comes down, I might give him the title of the chief of mercy." ..."

His voice is not loud, but there will be a messenger to bring his words to him.

When the surrounding soldiers heard the words, they also shouted, "Fatan comes down, forgive the chief".

The voice became louder and louder, and finally gathered into the shouts of 3 people, shaking the sky.

Gao Huaide's act of beheading Yelu Tizi pushed the morale of Dayu's army to its peak.

Lu Duoxun also shocked Gao Huaide's bravery, and a literati like him could not understand Gao Huaide's behavior.

As the commander of Sima Jundu, the bodyguard and pro-army, the third military figure after Han Lingkun and Han Tong among the military officials, Marshal Gao Huaide, personally took risks and killed the generals on his own.

But seeing this scene, even he couldn't help but feel hot. Seeing the high morale of the soldiers from all directions, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, be careful that the opponent retreats."

Luo Youdu laughed and said, "If you want to retreat, you can't help them."

He clasped his hands together and said to the soldiers beside him: "Here comes the order, the Divine Guard Army and the Wei Sheng Army line up, and the Longxiang Army is divided into left and right to support. Ma Shuai and Commander Yao, you wait for the right and left wings to move."

Gao Huaide and Yao Neibin led the way.

The Khitan side really wanted to retreat.

The scene of Gao Huaide killing Yelu Tizi on his own was so shocking that everyone in Khitan who saw that scene couldn't help but lose their voices.

As a martial nation, the blow to morale of one's own generals can be imagined.

Yeluwuzhi has a game of chess in his heart, he doesn't care about winning or losing, he lost the initiative today, and his morale is also frustrated, he might as well retire temporarily and procrastinate for a little time logically.

Khitan's national power is far inferior to that of the Central Plains, so there is no need to show off for a while.

However, Yelubishe, Yelusha and others disagreed. If they withdraw because of one person, it will become the laughing stock of the world if it is spread.

Khitan couldn't afford to lose face.

Before they could start discussing, the Dayu army had already started to move.

In an instant, everyone was forced to talk, and it would be stupid to retreat at this time.

Yelusha's eyes were already red, and he said loudly: "Lin Renzhao is already attacking Pyongyang, and Yingzhou is also besieged by Pan Mei. Now even our department is giving the thieves an advantage everywhere. The situation is in danger. If we retreat, There will be no more morale to speak of, is it possible to retreat to Daliao and go to the capital? Today's strategy is to fight to the death. If someone takes a step back, his head will be braided like this!"

As he spoke, he drew out his matching knife, grabbed his left and right double braids with one hand, and swung them violently. While everyone was stunned, he had already cut off his two braids, and held the broken hair in his hand, with a determined expression on his face. .

The situation in Khitan was critical, Yelusha suffered setbacks one after another, and the son of his best friend was killed in battle one after another. He only felt that the hope of victory became more and more elusive.

At this point, Yelusha has no other thoughts, but to serve the country desperately, only seeking that little chance of victory.

Yelu Wuzhi opened his mouth to say something, but finally closed his mouth.

As Yelusha said, they really couldn't afford to lose.

Seeing Yelusha like this, Yelubi said proudly, "Nanfu is a real hero!"

The words "Fatan comes down, pardon the chief" vaguely sounded in his mind, and he said through gnashing of teeth, "I and the southern bandits are incompatible!"

Zhao Kuangyi didn't say a word when he was retreating or not. At this moment, he immediately interjected: "The terrain here is flat and suitable for a large army to move. The enemy is coming out with horses and bows, and they are well prepared. I think they plan to use their old tactics. We can win by cooperating with cavalry and bow... We can form an formation first, and use the round shield to break it from the two wings."

Yelubi listened and did not answer, but looked at Yeluwu and asked: "Yu Yue, what do you think?"

Yelu Wuzhi said in a deep voice: "This battle is about the life and death of our army. We should fight the enemy in the way we are best at, not others."

Yelu Bishe nodded and said, "All are arranged by Yu Yue."

Zhao Kuangyi retreated a little aggrieved, secretly hating in his heart: "I want to see what tricks this old bastard can do."

Yelu Wuzhi said: "Nanfu, you lead your troops to the left wing and go up the river to support our central army."

Yelusha was furious in his heart, but faced with Yeluwu's quality and had nowhere to vent, he held back and said, "Does Yu Yue despise the last general?"

He said that he would fight to the death, but he was given a supporting task.

Yeluwu said: "Nanfu don't misunderstand us. We have suffered many losses from the navy of the Southern Dynasty. I saw that the enemy's right wing is mostly infantry. They lined up along the river. Most of them mean that land and water are going hand in hand. I expect the opponent will come from the left wing. Breakthrough, this river is the most important thing, no one in Feinan Prefecture can guard it."

Yelusha was not a three-year-old child. Seeing that the old man had made up his mind, he could only hold back his anger for the sake of the overall situation: "Okay, I will obey!"

Yelu Wuzhi continued: "Our troops are stronger than the enemy. In this battle, we must first win the enemy's strength, and then use the crowd to outnumber the few. We will surely win the whole battle."

As he spoke, he raised his voice: "Xiao Tiyin, Master Baoneng, you lead the cavalry of your headquarters as forwards to meet the enemy, let the enemy see what we have achieved over the years."

As his orders continued to be issued, the Khitan's huge army formation began to turmoil, and various soldiers and horses were scattered everywhere, and began to approach the Central Plains army in the distance.

Looking at Yelu Wuzhi's sloppy command, Zhao Kuangyi sneered directly in his heart, "What kind of formation does the Khitan barbarian know, this formation? A three-year-old child? Just a simple left wing and right wing? Is this also called formation?"

In his eyes, a set of formations should be complete, divided into forward army, front guard, left forward, right forward, left forward, right forward, left wing, right wing, left guard, right guard, etc...

Offensive and defensive, orderly, comprehensive, can be called an army formation.

This simple division of troops to attack is completely a child's play.

The battle kicked off in what Zhao Kuangyi saw as a house-playing game.

**********
"Your Majesty, the situation on the other side is different!"

Luo Youdu was watching the other party's movements with a binoculars, and saw the other party's banners unfurling, eight thousand cavalry marched forward slowly, the lineup was extremely huge.

Suddenly got the news of the soldiers on the watchtower.

"How to say?"

Luo Youdu asked a question.

The visitor said: "The opponent is divided into two parts, the front part is the Qingqi, and the rear is the armored cavalry. They hide behind the Qingqi..."

Luo Youdu carefully looked at the battlefield. The terrain where he was located was almost the same as that on the opposite side. Even with a telescope, he couldn't see it. His sight was blocked by the Qingqi in front and their banners.

Under normal circumstances, even if you stand on a high place, you can't find it from a distance.

But they have binoculars, the situation is different.

"Play this trick on me?"

Luo Youdu muttered.

Armor ride?

Qingqi?

Luo Youdu narrowed his eyes slightly, and instantly understood the whole story.

Khitan first disturbed Yang Ye, and then made a fuss with Dang Jin and Zhang Qiong. Today, before the battle, Gao Huaide slapped severely in front of everyone.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army and consolidate morale, they didn't even make a tentative attack, and directly sent elites to face them in order to get the upper hand.

"I'm sorry, but I like to fight the elite most!"

His eyes were burning, causing the riders to wave semaphores.

Dang Jin, who was at the vanguard, received the order and immediately ordered: "Wei Shengjun, shrink the formation!"

Khitan striker.

Riding in front is Xiao Qulie, although he is a Khitan descendant, he is not of the same clan as Xiao Siwen, but is from the Yishi clan, and has been overwhelmed by the Bali clan.

Now that the Bali family is in decline, it is time for the rise of the Yi Shi family.

The Central Plains army entered the battlefield first, but because of the cooperation of cavalry and bow, the speed was not fast, and it was not as fast as Xiao Qulie and Master Baoneng's vanguard army entered the center of the battlefield first.

Xiao Qulie was not in a hurry to attack, they knew how powerful the Central Plains people had been in these years of confrontation, and they no longer dared to act hastily.

He frowned slightly, doubts arose in his heart, the opponent's lineup was too dense.

This is against common sense.

Xiao Qulie had absolute confidence in the Khitan cavalry, he influenced the nomads, and he never took the so-called cavalry in the Central Plains seriously.

The strongest thing in the Central Plains is their crossbow arrows, and they have suffered losses on the crossbow arrows many times.

But the combination of cavalry and cavalry bows on the opposite side did not show the shadow of a strong crossbow.

The body of the strong crossbow expands left and right, and the opponent's formation is too dense, which is not conducive to the crossbowman's display.

"No crossbow? What can I use to resist my army's cavalry?"

It is not without reason that Xiao Qulie is so confident. Khitan's harness was originally made of leather whips and wooden stirrups, and neither men nor horses were armored. As they plundered a large number of craftsmen from the Central Plains, their skills improved in an all-round way.

Nowadays, their light cavalry also wear large lacquered leather armor, and the assault cavalry has reached the point of equipped cavalry, and their bows, arrows, bones, and iron spears have all been fully upgraded.

The light cavalry under his command had the best bows and arrows in Khitan, and the armored cavalry hidden behind them were directly armed to the teeth. Even the Central Plains did not have heavy armored cavalry.

Xiao Qulie winked at Master Baoneng behind him, and Master Baoneng understood.

Master Baoneng is naturally a monk, but he doesn't look like a monk at all. He drinks and eats meat, and is proficient in everything.It was only because his family believed in Buddhism that he became a monk.The only advantage is that when he was young, he worshiped an eminent monk who taught the scriptures of Shaolin in Songshan, and learned a whole body of martial arts from him.Gaining a great reputation in Khitan Shangjing, he was highly regarded by Yelv Bishe and became one of the commanders of the Tielin Army.

Xiao Qulie and Master Baoneng have been training together for a long time, and they cooperated tacitly. The two sides coincided and accelerated, rushing towards the Wei Shengjun in front of the enemy's formation.

Xiao Qulie saw that the Wei Shengjun had stopped advancing, the front was holding the tower shield high, and the soldiers behind put the huge spear on the tower shield, and laughed with a "puchi".

"Great monk, I leave this group of bastards to you!"

Xiao Qulie let out a loud cry.

Master Baoneng responded with a smile: "Let the poor monk save them well!"

Following Xiao Qulie's shout, the five thousand light cavalry in front of the Khitan were like elves dancing in the air, and suddenly divided into two teams, left and right, and attacked the cavalry on the left and right wings respectively, ignoring the infantry holding tower shields at all. pawn.

What is the difference between light cavalry charging and courting death?
What's more, the opponent still has archers.

The power of the infantry bow may not be as powerful as the crossbow, but it is enough to break the leather armor of their light cavalry.

But armored cavalry is different.

Can the tower shield spear formation composed of mere infantry withstand the impact of mounted cavalry?

Xiao Qulie had already seen victory beckoning to them.

Five thousand light cavalry scattered left and right, revealing the three thousand Iron Forest Army hiding behind them. All soldiers were covered in iron armor, and even the horses were wrapped in fine vests.

They ran like an earthquake, and the iron armor on their bodies rattled.

The leader is Master Baoneng. He has a stern face and rides a tall Liangzhou horse. He has no mercy at all, just like a butcher.

Facing Khitan's move, Wei Shengjun's shield formation remained unmoved.

As one of the earliest six divisions of the Yuying Division, their commander was Li Chuyun who was both civil and military.

But as Li Chuyun went to Liangzhou, their commander became Zhang Qiong.

This army inherited Li Chuyun's calmness, and also integrated Zhang Qiong's wildness.

"shoot!"

Zhang Qiong looked coldly at the monster heavy cavalry that he had never encountered before, and was also sweating for his troops.

Under his command, densely packed tiny arrows flew towards the Iron Forest Army.

Master Baoneng looked at the locust-like arrow and shouted "Block!"

The Iron Forest Army also has weaknesses. They are fully armed, but their eyes have to be exposed outside, and the armor on the front door is of average defense. If a strong arrow hits the front door, it may cause loss of combat effectiveness.

As for the others?

Master Baoneng didn't care at all.

When the armored cavalry took shape, they had already been tested.Except for a powerful crossbow like Fuyuan Crossbow, no matter how powerful a step bow is, it can only pierce the skin and cannot cause fatal damage.

It is extremely stupid for the opponent to give up his strong crossbow and meet the enemy with a bow and arrow.

Next... as long as you break through the opponent's shield formation, how can mere flesh and blood resist the raging iron forest army.

Master Baoneng used his arm to protect the front door, speeding up.

Then the next scene was completely out of the script in the minds of Xiao Qulie and Master Baoneng.

The arrows shot by Wei Shengjun are very short and thin, but this small arrow has indescribable power.

The arrows penetrated into the bodies of the Iron Forest Army without hindrance, and the heavy armor on their bodies was like paper, completely useless.

People and horses neighing...
