Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 445

Gao Huaide is not a fool, but he understands that he doesn't have many choices.

If you can't disperse these thousands of civilians, let them dig for another three or four days, and the deep ditch and high fortress that besieged Qicheng will be built.

At that time, it will be their father and son, who will be trapped to death in Qicheng.

So after the Khitans dispatched [-] cavalry, Gao Xingzhou in Qi City also led [-] cavalry out of the city, and opened the north gate.

Commanded by Gao Xingzhou, [-] infantry soldiers from Songzhou returned to the German army, armed with bows and guns, went out of the city to form formations, and supported the cavalry with bows and crossbows.

The Iron Pigeon and Iron Falcon armies in the right leather room had [-] horsemen, all wearing iron armor and holding long spears. Although compared to Gao Huaide, they waited for work at leisure, they still did not rush to increase their horse speed.

Instead, a hundred of them were not wearing armor when they were dispatched, and rushed behind Gao Huaide with a fast horse and longbow, repeatedly harassing and pulling.

The intention is to further consume the horsepower of Gao Huaide and the other thirty riders, and when they can't bear it, they will attack suddenly.

And after seeing Qicheng Gao Xingzhou dispatch [-] cavalry, the [-] cavalry split another [-] cavalry to the left, preparing to entangle with Gao Xingzhou's cavalry.

This is the right choice, take it easy and wait for work, Gao Huaide can be captured without keeping Gao Xingzhou, as long as Gao Huaide is captured, the Jin army in Qicheng will not have a brave general who dares to go out and fight the Khitan people.

However, this also gave Gao Huaide a chance. Taking advantage of the Khitan heavy armored cavalry not approaching, he rushed into the Khitan peasants with thirty cavalry, causing these peasants and the Youyun Han army to run around.

They were originally forced by the Khitans to dig trenches. When they saw someone attacking, they simply made a fake show. The enemy didn't see a single one, and they ran everywhere.

Yeluwu frowned at his insignificance. Gao Xingzhou, a famous general of the Jin Kingdom, has a few brushes.

The [-] German troops under him were fully armored, and they always went out of the city to provoke, and then relied on the strong bows and crossbows on the city wall to fight the Khitan army in a war of attrition.

If the Khitan army dares to pursue them, they will line up behind the suspension bridge to lure the Khitan soldiers and horses, and continue to fight.

The suspension bridge is narrow, no matter how many soldiers and horses you have, you can only pass hundreds of people at one time, and the advantage in numbers is gone at once, and the Jin army still has strong bows and crossbows on the city wall as a reliance.

Yelu Wuzhi led the army to fight Gao Xingzhou three times. Each time, the Jin army killed or injured hundreds of people, while the Khitan army had at least three or four hundred people, and thousands of wounded, which made Yelu Wuzhi very depressed.

This was also the reason for digging trenches around Qicheng. He really didn't want to fight Gao Xingzhou with the crossbowman who was carrying half of the city wall.

At this moment, Yelu, who was a little depressed, was deeply suspicious, and Gao Xingzhou wanted to use this method again to seduce him to go to Qicheng to suffer from the winch crossbow.

In the distance, amidst the dots of snowflakes, Zhao Yanshou rode his horse from the left side of the Khitan formation and ran under the banner of the Chinese army at Yeluwuzhi.

This one is eager to be Shi Jingtang's second, dreams of being a scum of the great ancestor of Yan, and is more concerned about the Southern Expedition than the Khitan people.

He clasped his hands together and said: "Tiyin, please send three thousand cavalry, and a certain one is willing to lead his men to fight.

That Gao Xingzhou dared to let his son intrude into our civilian husbands, he was really stupid. As long as he can quickly cut off his connection with the Jin army, he will be captured, or he can be forced to surrender Gao Xingzhou. "

Tiyin is an official position in the Liao Kingdom, equivalent to Zongzheng of the Central Plains royal family.

However, because the Liao Kingdom still had a strong shadow of the family system, Tiyin had great power, much greater than Zongzheng of the Central Plains Dynasty.

In history, Yelu House has gone through the five dynasties of Taizu, Taizong, Shizong, Muzong and Jingzong of Liao.

In the royal family of the Liao Kingdom that has always done a lot of bullshit, he has a high prestige, and he is also capable of writing and martial arts. He is a generation of famous officials and brave generals.

But when it comes to understanding the power structure of the late Jin court and the Central Plains, Zhao Yanshou is far beyond Yeluwu.

The Gao family has martial arts for generations. This kind of family usually selects one or two very qualified descendants to focus on training as the leaders of the next generation, so as to ensure the continuation of the family's power and wealth.

It can be said that in Gao Xingzhou's heart at this time, his son Gao Huaide is far more important than Qi Cheng.

If Gao Huaide could be caught, even if Gao Xingzhou could not be persuaded to surrender, Gao Xingzhou would still be able to make a fool of himself.

When Yeluwuzhi heard what Zhao Yanshou said, he immediately took a look from above, and immediately saw the problem.

It turned out that Gao Huaide's fight was too smooth, and this kind of prestige that drove thousands of enemy troops like a flock of sheep was easy to be overwhelmed.

Although these are civilian husbands and not soldiers, it still makes people feel good.

Behind this majesty, Gao Huaide has already distanced himself from Gao Xingzhou who came out of the city to meet him. As long as he can quickly press forward with a large army and cut off Gao Huaide's retreat, then this son will be left behind.

"The old man will give you all the one thousand cavalry of the Iron Forest Army and the two thousand cavalry of the Iron Falcon Army. Please ask King Yan to lead the warriors under his command to fight. You must keep that Gao Huaide."

Yelu Yazhi quickly issued an order, but for the Khitan army at this time, it took some time for the army to be mobilized.

Because the battle of Qicheng had turned into a tug-of-war before this, it was impossible for Yelu Wuzhi to pull the [-] troops to a place a few hundred meters away from Qicheng, and let them wear armor at any time.

In that case, before the Jin army came to fight, the Khitan army would exhaust themselves to death.

Besides, there are not many fighters in the army who have a good temper. This kind of behavior will be considered by the soldiers below as embarrassing them, and you are messing around.

When it's time to fight, they may not be able to contribute because of their resentment.

This is the difficulty and point of leading troops to fight.

When should strict military laws be used to enforce orders and prohibitions?

When do you have to pat your hair twice again to maintain the morale and unity of the army?
This is what the coach needs to master.

If it is manipulated well, it will be unstoppable, and if it is not manipulated well, it will be full of complaints.

From a distance, Gao Xingzhou saw the Khitan army marching around with flags, the bugles were blowing continuously, and Zhao Yanshou's troops under the banner with the word "Swallow" began to put on their armor, and when he saw Gao Huaide's position, his heart tightened.

At this moment, the Iron Pigeon Army and the Iron Falcon Army with [-] riders who came forward had already reached Gao Xingzhou's front.

He could only let the German infantry who left the city take the risk to go forward to meet Gao Huaide, while he led [-] cavalry under his command to defeat the [-] fine cavalry of the Khitans first.

In the Khitan army formation, it was already too late when Gao Huaide realized that something was wrong.

After all, it was a 17 years old boy, the historical Gao Wumu, who was not as sophisticated as he was later, and accidentally fell into a tight siege.

However, facing the galloping Khitan cavalry, Gao Huaide did not panic.

While calling to the twenty or so riders around him to head south at full speed, he put down the copper tire iron back bow and replaced it with a horn bow.

The Khitan rangers galloping forward were not wearing armor, so although they were fast, they had poor protection, and the horn bow was enough to deal with them.

Gao Huaide adjusted his posture on the horseback while retreating, and kept shooting arrows backwards. The good archers around him also shot with him.

But at this moment, the Khitan Iron Falcon Army with two hundred riders who had been hanging behind Gao Huaide finally seized the opportunity.

They rushed forward with light cavalry first, Gao Huaide could only put down his bow and arrow, and use his horse to fight with the Khitan cavalry who had already rushed in front of him.

Twenty or so cavalry managed to drive back nearly a hundred cavalry, and a hundred cavalry in heavy armor arrived.

With one assault, they scattered Gao Huaide and the others.

But in just a few breaths, there were only three cavalry left beside Gao Huaide, and the Khitan cavalry seemed to have spotted him, at least sixty or seventy cavalry chased after him.

At this time, the returned German infantry who came to meet Gao Huaide also encountered trouble.

Zhao Yanshou's [-] Lulong army approached quickly, not to defeat the Guide army, but to make them unable to meet Gao Huaide.

The infantry on both sides shouted loudly, fired at each other with bows and crossbows, and then fought in formation with spears and sticks.

But within a cup of tea time, a thousand cavalry from the Khitan Tielin army arrived. These thousand cavalry, all in iron armor in the front row, stormed towards the left flank of the German army.

After being repeatedly charged and killed by cavalry, the Gui German army no longer dared to step forward, and could only form a formation in a hurry to fight. Now, let alone responding to Gao Huaide, even themselves were a little bit hard to protect.

In the distance, Gao Xingzhou's eyes were tearing, but he was also entangled by four hundred of the most elite Khitan leather armored cavalry, and he couldn't escape at all.

Gao Xingzhou was about to raise a black square banner and summoned 1000 people from the reserve army in Qicheng to come out of the city to respond.

At this moment, a war drum was beating in the distance, and there was a commotion on the left side of Zhao Yanshou of the Liao Army.

Just thinking that Gao Huaide was about to be caught, Zhao Yanshou was shocked. He rode his horse to a high place to look, and his heart skipped a beat.

Because Jing Yanguang never dared to send troops across the river to rescue, Zhao Yanshou sent half the number of sentries near the pontoon bridge.

And not only did he take it lightly, but also the sentinel sent out.

This is December, and whoever has the patience to brave the wind and snow and the cold that can freeze their hands off, go outside to watch, most of them just take a look by the Yellow River, and then find a place to cat.

So when Hu Guang led more than a hundred riders to touch these Khitan sentries, they were either hiding from the fire or sleeping, and there was no one to report.

Hu Guang and Fu Yanqing's eldest son, Fu Zhaoxin, rushed to the front.

Different from other cavalry tactics, Liangzhou cavalry has the best horse resources at this time.

Some of these hybrid offspring of Han blood horses and fold ear horses can achieve a perfect balance in carrying weight and explosive speed.

Therefore, the Liangzhou heavy cavalry in armor sometimes rushed faster than the light cavalry.

In order to get these more than [-] top-quality Hexi mixed-breed folded-eared horses, Shi Jingtang spent real money to buy them from Zhang Zhao.

This is inevitable. My King Zhang gave you all the cavalry, and of course you have to pay for the equipment.

And Zhang Zhao knew that Shi Jingtang had to buy it, because the seat under the emperor's buttocks was not secure at that time, and without the tiger spines to strangle the 700 people, Shi Jingtang might not be able to sleep.

At that time, Yang Guangyuan had the ability to rush into the Daning Palace at any time and chop Shi Jingtang with a knife.

So, luckily Shi Jingtang was dead, otherwise knowing that Zhang Zhao had prostituted him for nothing here, he would have died of anger again.

On the battlefield, from when Hu Guang and Fu Zhaoxin appeared in Zhao Yanshou's eyes to when they rushed to the left of Zhao Yanshou's army, it took less than a cup of tea.

Zhao Yanshou didn't have time to make arrangements, and the Liangzhou Dama was right in front of him.

After the Lulong Army infantry saw the Liangzhou cavalry arriving, although they were flustered, they formed a formation quickly and threw waves of arrows, and the soldiers in the front row also took up their spears one after another.

But Hu Guang and the others were fully armored, and after three rounds of arrow rain, only a few unlucky ones were shot off their horses, and the two sides quickly approached.

At this time, unexpectedly, Hu Guang and others did not rush up, but took out the horned crossbow from the side of the horse.

They slowed down their horses a little, wound up quickly, and then collectively aimed at one of Lu Longjun's long spear arrays, shooting intensively.

This horned crossbow is also a crossbow!When they got close to the shooting, ordinary infantry could not stand it. In just a few breaths, the spearmen in this place fell to the ground.

A Lu Longjun was about to command other spearmen to fill up. Hu Guang and others had already run away, and Fu Zhaoxin and others who charged in the second wave arrived.

They didn't play any tricks, but went straight up with the horses in their hands.

Just now, Hu Guang and the others didn't come to fight, but Fu Zhaoxin did.

This time, Lu Longjun's dense spear array just now was shot with heavy casualties by the horned crossbow in front, and the infantry in the back hadn't had time to replenish it, so they couldn't stop it at all.

Immediately, Fu Zhaoxin and others followed the gap and rushed in directly.

Moreover, they charged very regularly, with one hundred riders in each wave, and the distance between them was arranged in advance.

When Fu Yanqing, Yao Yuanfu and others entered the field in person, the pressure on Lu Longjun became even greater, and they couldn't stop these brave generals at all.

And Fu Yanqing and others didn't expand the results to the left and right. They charged in only one direction, and that was the Khitan Central Army, where the Da Tiyin Yeluwuzhi Dazhu was located.

Now it's the Khitan's turn to be in trouble, because just now Yelu Wuzhi basically released all the armored cavalry that could be mobilized.

This meeting is near Yeluwuzhi, but there are only more than a thousand Zhangwu Army infantry and several hundred guard cavalry.

Although the number of Fu Yanqing and others who rushed over was smaller, they were more elite.

Yelu Wuzhi was also experienced in many battles. He could tell at a glance how powerful the cavalrymen were, and he was so shocked that he could only raise his mental organization to defend.

The desperate Zhao Yanshou also abandoned Gao Huaide, and led thousands of cavalry to chase him back.

After all these comings and goings, the Khitan army formation was completely in chaos, and many army formations lost contact with the commander of the Chinese army.

"Chenzhou Talisman Crown Prince is here!"

The 44-year-old Fu Yanqing was completely awakened from the turmoil in his heart. With a roar, he was the first to rush forward.

In a hurry, Yelu Wuzhi organized three square long spear formations to defend.

Fu Yanqing roared, and directly broke through the first long spear formation that had not yet been fully erected.

When they reached the second road, the Khitan army was much more organized, but at this moment Hu Guang and the others came back again.

The horned crossbow shooter reappeared again, and then the third group of Yao Yuanfu and the others charged again and quickly broke through the block.

The third obstacle was Yelu Wuzhi's personal guards, including a eagle shooter.

He stood on a high place, and the arrows shot towards him like shooting stars. The cavalry around Yao Yuanfu fell to the ground one after another, and their forward momentum was blunted.

But soon, under Hucile's order, more than [-] horses from Liangzhou dismounted and lined up. They also took out their strong bows and crossbows and shot up the mountain, and they could approach in a neat queue while shooting.

The formation and the use of heavy cavalry dismounted as heavy infantry have always been the biggest feature of Liangzhou Dama.

Although the eagle shooter was elite, he shot and killed four or five late Jin cavalry by himself, but it could not prevent the soldiers on the third line of defense from being shot to pieces.

Seeing that Fu Yanqing and others behind were preparing to charge again, Yelu Wuzhi let out a long sigh and had no choice but to run away.

He miscalculated!He released all the armored cavalry around him, but unexpectedly, a brave cavalry from the Jin army came in through the gap.

It is useless to say anything now. If he is captured or the banner is taken, it will be a disaster. If he retreats now, he will only lose a few thousand troops.

On the battlefield, Fu Yanqing, Gao Xingzhou, including the somewhat embarrassed Gao Huaide and Zhao Yanshou, were all paying attention to the banner of Yeluwuzhi.

I saw the big banner shaking for a while, and then started to go backwards.

On the battlefield, the Khitan army was in an uproar!
The Jin army cheered like thunder, and thousands of returning German soldiers shouted, "The emperor has arrived!" 'Desperately forward.

More than [-] Khitan troops retreated in panic, while Gao Huaide and others changed from being hunted to being chased.

The situation changed instantly.
