Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 510 Battle of Luoyang in the Morning Bell

There are indeed 10,000 people in Ma Da, and most of them are Khitan.Female straights and Bohai soldiers only accounted for a very small part, and their combat effectiveness was guaranteed.

It is said that under the suppression of his [-] elite soldiers, the [-] Heyang army and the [-] to [-] Luoyang people could not make any waves at all.

But in fact, Ma Da's 10,000 people are not enough to suppress the entire Luoyang City.

Because they not only want to guard Luoyang City, but also Heyang, which is Mengzhou City, Henan Province in later generations.

This city is about a hundred miles away from Luoyang City, on the bank of the Yellow River to the north of Luoyang.

The important reason for keeping it is that the Heyang Bridge, the largest in Luoyang and one of the three floating bridges on the Yellow River, is here.

Heyang Bridge is extremely important to the Khitan people in Luoyang and even the entire Central Plains.

Because even if Yelu De became the emperor of the Central Plains just by talking to himself, most Khitans still don't think they can occupy the Central Plains for a long time.

In other words, even if they can occupy the Central Plains for a long time, what they want is to go back to their hometown early and leave it to the Han people to manage.

Compared with the cool and comfortable areas of western Liaoning and Bashang grasslands, Kaifeng and Luoyang in the Central Plains are undoubtedly extremely hot in summer.

And who snatches gold and silver, beautiful women don't want to take it home to enjoy and show off?
Hamsters also like to take home their favorite delicacies, and the Khitan people probably have this mentality too.

So they paid special attention to how to return from the south bank of the Yellow River to the north bank.

At this time, they have only two choices, that is, Heyang Bridge in the north of Luoyang, and Baimadu in Huazhou, northeast of Kaifeng.

And they robbed so many goods, among which there were many heavy items, which needed a convenient and trouble-free transportation method.

Taking the Bianhe River from Kaifeng to Luoyang, then crossing the Heyang Bridge, or not passing through the Heyang Bridge, and going directly down the Yellow River to find a place to dock is undoubtedly much easier than going overland to Huazhou, and then crossing the river.

Moreover, the Heyang Bridge was not directly erected to both sides of the Yellow River. He made full use of the large sandbar in the Yellow River waterway in Luoyang, which is the Guojiatan in the Yellow River in later generations.

The bridge is first built from Heyang on the north bank of the Yellow River to the sandbar, and then from the sandbar to the south bank of the Yellow River, which greatly reduces the difficulty of crossing the pontoon bridge and improves the load and safety of the pontoon bridge.

Moreover, on this sandbar, Zhongli City, a military fortress built during the Eastern Wei Dynasty, can still play a role in controlling the pontoon bridges on both sides and blocking incoming ships from upstream.

If Ma Da didn't defend the Heyang Bridge and Zhonglu City, Zhang Zhao could go straight down the river, ignore Luoyang at all, and go directly to Huazhou to destroy the pontoon bridge of Baimajin, cutting off the north and south of the Yellow River.

At that time, the Liao army in Henan will be finished directly.

So Ma Da divided the Luoyang Liao army to station 500 people each in Zhongli City and Heyang City, and each assigned [-] Heyang troops to assist in guarding.

However, since Zhongli City and Heyang City did not have much oil and water, Ma Da could not allow any troops to station in Zhongli City and Heyang City for a long time, and could only be stationed in rotation.

And today was the day when the Khitan people changed their defenses. According to the regulations, the soldiers and horses stationed in these two cities had to arrive at the two cities of Zhongli and Heyang before they could leave for Luoyang.

This is mainly to avoid the two sides starting at the same time, and the two cities will be unguarded.

But in this way, when the defense is changed, the Liao army in Luoyang City is the weakest time.

With 4000 troops out of the city, there are only [-] people left in the city, so it is the best time to start an uprising.

It is about a hundred miles from Heyang to Luoyang, and it will take at least one and a half hours to complete the defense change.

Zhao Hui, Zhao Yanjin, and Zhao Kuangyin discussed with each other, and all Luoyang people took advantage of the Khitan people's change of defense and suddenly rose up.

And seeing the fire in the city, Murong Nobunaga immediately galloped to the city with his fine cavalry.

Among them, one thousand riders entered the city to help the people of Luoyang, and the remaining two thousand riders went to ambush the three thousand Khitans who came back after changing defenses, and took Luoyang City in one fell swoop.

In the early morning, under the shadowy peeping eyes of countless pairs of eyes, the Khitans' three thousand cavalry, who were on defense, began to leave the city noisily.

At the first quarter of the hour, seven o'clock in the morning, after the Khitan cavalry had left for a quarter of an hour, a bell rang suddenly.

First came the White Horse Temple in the northeast of the city, then the sister temple Baiyun Temple of the White Horse Temple, then the Dafuxian Temple, Guanghua Temple, Xuanzang Temple, Xiangshan Temple, Zangmei Temple, etc., and finally almost the entire Buddhist temple in Luoyang City, all rang The big bell in the temple.

Suddenly, the sound of the morning bell resounded throughout Luoyang City.

Ma Da, who lived directly in the Houtang Palace in Luoyang, had a drink after waking up early. He was a little tipsy at the moment, and looked at the sky in surprise.

Isn't the time of day already passed?If you didn't knock just now, what is the purpose of knocking non-stop?
"Kill you thief!"

Suddenly, right next to Ma Da, a man yelled loudly, swung the leg of lamb in his hand, and threw it on Ma Da's head.

Ma Da was caught off guard, and was hit by the hard lamb leg bone. With a crisp bang, Ma Da staggered a few times in a daze.

This..If you eat a roasted leg of lamb, you won't be wearing a pocket, so Ma Da was hit hard.

However, he is considered a veteran, and the guards around him are not even vegetarians. The cook wanted to knock a second time, but was quickly held down by the Khitan people around him. blood.

Ma came to his senses, and he rushed forward very annoyed.

"A certain family treats you well, they give you food and drink, and they don't kill your parents! Why do you attack me?"

Ma Da is not a fool, since he is greedy for the cook to roast the leg of lamb well, he will definitely give him some preferential treatment.

Although there is no chance for the cook to poison you, why not give you some 'secret sauce'?

Therefore, the chef's family members have preserved all the mats and given them food and drink.

From Ma Da's point of view, it was a great mercy, so he was very angry, thinking that the cook didn't know what to do, and even wanted to attack him.

The cook grinned, blood seeping through his lips and teeth, and there was a little unwillingness in his eyes.

"I wish I could kill you, a thief! Avenge Brother Zhou!"

"Want to kill XX? XX will kill you first!" In a rage, Ma Da held a long knife and plunged into the heart of the cook.

However, in the cook's eyes, there was a hint of joy mixed with pain, and Ma Da, who had woken up from the drowsiness, felt cold all over his body, and he screamed wildly.

"Not good! The men are going to riot!"

Ma Da is right, the people of Luoyang are going to riot, these Khitan people have made everyone have no way out, and want to treat their families like two-legged sheep, who can bear this?

Who can watch his beautiful wife and young son become someone else's dinner?

Amidst the reverberating bells, men from various families poured out from houses, restaurants, and shops with sticks, planks, tattered knives, guns, and farm tools.

All of them tied a cloth towel on their heads to wipe their foreheads, which is the sign to distinguish Han people from Hu'er.

A Khitan cavalryman in the east of the city just came out of a wine shop, and he seemed to be drinking a lot.

Before he could stand still, an old man with a large gallbladder rushed forward and knocked him down with a blow. Then the surrounding people rushed up and beat him to a pulp.

A group of ten Khitan cavalry in the west of the city just patrolled a street when stones and sticks fell from the sky in an instant.

The Khitan cavalry were dizzy from being hit, and before they could react, they were surrounded by crowds of people.

They didn't avoid swords and guns, even if they were stabbed, they still howled and rushed forward.

The terrified Khitan cavalry wanted to mobilize the horses, but it was too late. Countless pairs of big hands grabbed him off the horse, and then there was no bones left.

The wealthy businessman in the south of the city was occupied by the Khitan people, and his wife and daughter were also occupied. He would have been lying on the street waiting to die.

But now suddenly, as if he came back to life, he led the people who had scolded him as rich and heartless, and drilled in through the secret water channel of his mansion.

Amidst the roar of the crowd, the rich merchant held a long dagger and chopped the Khitan general who had taken over his wife and daughter into a pulp with his own hands.

The northern part of the city is close to the Khitan army camp, and the oppression is the deepest. The common people rushed to the Khitan army camp together with the soldiers of the Heyang army who suddenly rose up and the monks from various temples.

Countless people held the door panels, howled and rushed forward with their flesh and blood, clearing the way for the Heyang army.

The shouts of killing resounded in the sky, and no one flinched.

'Kill the thief!Kill the thief! Amidst the howls of the Liao army, one after another the checkpoints of the Liao army were captured, and the Khitan people who were caught off guard were killed and blood flowed like rivers.

Finally, the riots in the whole city pushed forward to the surrounding of the palace amidst the unceasing ringing of bells. Of the remaining [-] Khitans in Luoyang City, at least [-] were here.

Ma Da was clenching his molars, looking at the dense crowd outside the imperial city, he was about to open the gate of the imperial palace and rush to kill.

The little general (official position) beside him hurriedly dissuaded him, "There are many Han men outside the city, and I am few and skilled. It is better to defend the city first!"

Ma Da shook his head slowly, "These men's riots were clearly signaled by the bells of Buddhist temples. If it wasn't for someone's plan, the old soldiers of the Heyang Army would definitely not have the ability to contact the major Buddhist temples. This must be Zhang thief who sent someone here."

As he said that, Ma Da stomped his feet resentfully, "Back then, a certain person tried hard to persuade the emperor that he wanted Datong City. It was only right for the whole army to go west and kill Zhang thief. Unfortunately, the emperor didn't listen."

The little general beside him lost all color on his face, and he suddenly yelled as if remembering something.

"It's to quickly kill the Han'er outside, the people in Zhongli City and Heyang City don't know that there have been changes in the city.

If Zhang Thief was the vanguard, he would definitely attack and kill the three thousand cavalry who came back from the defense first, so that we could be trapped in the city and slaughtered at will. "

"Ru immediately led fifty cavalry, led me to lead the army to open the way, and rushed out of the city to report the news!"

Seeing that the little general beside him understood what he meant, Ma Da immediately gave the order.

"Transport earth and rocks, collect big logs and tie them with hemp ropes as horses, and put armor on for the strong and brave. The northern cavalry is coming to charge and kill, and those who can shoot arrows will occupy the high places."

Zhao Hui's battle experience is still very rich, and Zhao Yanjin and Zhao Kuangyin are two brave generals, so they did not rush forward to attack the palace blindly.

Although there are at least tens of thousands of people behind them, and the number is still increasing, only the hundreds of Heyang Army soldiers in the city can be called professional soldiers. They are far from the opponents of the Khitan people. A dead end.

So they gathered outside the imperial palace, blocked the Khitan people's way out of the imperial city, and waited for Murong Nobunaga's three thousand elite riders to arrive. This was the correct choice.

"My lord, you go and organize the people to move out all the belongings at a distance of one hundred steps to block the road. If the child can't keep it, it will be up to you."

Zhao Hongyin looked at Zhao Kuangyin's concerned eyes and shook his head firmly.

"There are other people in charge behind us. Since you and I, father and son, have fought together, we will die together. If everyone retreats, how can we stop the Khitan cavalry?"

Zhao Kuangyin froze for a moment, nodded abruptly as if meeting his father for the first time.

The remaining gates of the imperial city of Luoyang Palace in the later Tang Dynasty slowly opened, and the Khitan cavalry led by Ma Da also drove out slowly.

Although in later generations, the Liao army was ridiculed as weak in attacking fortifications, shameless in retreating, and the dignified cavalry outside the Great Wall, they could only fight back and forth with the bandits of the Song Dynasty.

But at this moment, the iron cavalry of the Liao army in the Yelu Deguang period still has some skills.

Ma Da took five hundred Xiren archers as the guide, and the cavalry galloped out from both wings. They did not force their way into the obstacles Zhao Hui had set up with earth, rocks and wooden stakes, but shot with bows and arrows first.

The Heyang Army has only 2000 people in Luoyang City, and among them, they can be regarded as tooth soldiers, with a total of 700 people.

Facing the shooting of five hundred Xiren archers and hundreds of Khitan archers, they could only rely on obstacles to hide and fight back, which was much less efficient.

The rest of the people were placed further back. They didn't have any armor on them, and they were more likely to be killed in the face of the arrow rain.

In fact, even the Heyang Army didn't have many armors, because most of them were taken away by the elites, and the rest were stored in the arsenal. After the Khitans entered the city, they were basically taken away.

Now the armor they have is handed down from the families of various military academies, and soldiers rarely have armor.

In the rain of arrows, the Xiren infantry quickly cut Heyang army and Luoyang people. Hundreds of Heyang troops were pushed to the front, followed by Luoyang people with various weapons and even farm tools.

Ma Da sneered, and with a light wave of his hand, the Khitan cavalry who had been moving back and forth on both sides of Xi Ren's infantry immediately moved out.

They came obliquely from the left and right sides, ready to completely surround the Heyang army.

As long as these hundreds of Heyang soldiers are killed, even though there are tens of thousands of people, they are just pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

The earth trembled, and [-] cavalry came galloping. The people of Luoyang, who had rarely seen this formation, immediately panicked. After their blood disappeared, some timid ones even turned around and ran away.

Seeing this scene, a Khitan cavalryman couldn't help laughing cruelly, waving the saber in his hand even more arrogantly, as long as there are another twenty steps, the Han'er in front of him will be decapitated.

The crossbowmen of the Heyang Army desperately shot the arrows in their hands, continuously shooting the Khitan cavalry off their horses.

But they have too few crossbowmen, the Khitan cavalry has a total of [-], and the follow-up cavalry and Xiren infantry are still approaching, this little damage will not have much effect
Soon, the more than six hundred Heyang troops were completely surrounded, and the Khitans only waited for these hundreds of people to be eaten up before they could turn around and slaughter the Luoyang people behind them.

"Kill the prisoner!" At this moment, Zhao Kuangyin yelled violently, and in an instant, the people of Luoyang who seemed to be cowering suddenly broke out.

They drew out their long spears and long horizontal knives, and to the surprise of the Khitan people, they rushed towards the Khitan cavalry surrounding the Heyang army at an extremely fast speed.

The spear pierced the knight, the knife pierced the horse's belly, Zhao Kuangyin took the lead, and the spear in his hand stabbed out like a poisonous dragon, and a Khitan cavalry came in response.

He didn't care about the life and death of the Khitan cavalryman, and continued to rush into the enemy's formation with guns in both hands.

On his left and right sides, Zhao Yanjin and his father Zhao Hongyin were next to him. The three of them stabbed each other and blocked each other. A bloody path.

The Luoyang people behind roared and rushed up together.

It turned out that these were not ordinary people at all, but warrior monks from various temples and outstanding figures among the city foxes and rats. They were all courageous people who practiced martial arts all the year round.

There were more than [-] people in this charge. After the three of Zhao Kuangyin killed a bloody road and cut off the cavalry of the Liao Army, they immediately gathered together with spears in their hands.

In the gap, more than [-] fat monks were holding large galleys wrapped in iron sheets, and charged outward from various places.

What these great monks are best at is playing sticks. The big gallium is made of the hardest wood wrapped with iron sheets. After years of practice by the monks, the power is no less than that of cooked copper sticks.

Often when a stick is struck, either the horse's leg is broken or the cavalier's calf is broken. The painful knight screams and the horse whines.

What the cavalrymen wanted was speed. Once their speed slowed down, the people of Luoyang who seemed to be fleeing in all directions, at the call of the village chief, mustered up the courage to rush over.

What a joke, if you don't work hard, you will be eaten by the Khitan people, who can bear it?
Moreover, King Yong promised that as long as this battle is won, the nine counties in Luoyang will not be conscripted for three years. I heard that the King of Heaven is the only benevolent person in the world who is willing to accept the victims of the disaster, and then there will be peace and prosperity.

The anger of revenge and the desire for a better life in the future made the fighting power of the people of Luoyang reach its peak.

The father who was shot to the ground by the bow and arrow loudly reprimanded his son, telling him to leave him alone and hurry up to kill the captives.

The elder brother, who could barely vomit blood, also yelled loudly for his younger brother to avenge his blood.

The [-] Liao cavalry were instantly plunged into the vast ocean of tens of thousands. The whole Luoyang army and people were united, and no one flinched. The Khitan people soon couldn't resist.

Zhao Kuangyin even picked up a large gallbladder and went directly into the formation of Xi Ren's archers, killing these Xi Ren who were only equipped with short knives and fled in embarrassment.

Ma Da's cheeks twitched as he watched the knights fall from their horses one by one, but immediately, a cruel light shone from his eyes.

Because he still held five hundred and a half armored cavalry in his hand, and now the opponent was fighting a chaotic battle, and he couldn't stand the charge of five hundred and a half armored cavalry.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Ma Da looked up in surprise, because his five and a half outfits hadn't been dispatched yet, where did the sound of such uniform hooves come from?

In the eyes of everyone, Wang Shenqi was wearing a white cloth armor, a white battle robe, a silver hood, and a white horse on his crotch. People and horses appeared on the battlefield like a dragon. More than ten rides.

As soon as he arrived at the battlefield, Wang Shenqi bowed his bow left and right on his horseback, and the Khitan cavalry closest to him fell to the ground with the sound of bowstrings.

A Great Tang Sanchen flag fluttered high, and in the distance there were cavalrymen and soldiers who could not see the end were coming.

The people of Luoyang gave way one after another, and they cheered thunderously.

"The King Yong's army has arrived! The King Yong's army has arrived!"

Ma Da shook twice, waved his hand in despair, he turned his head and ran into the imperial city, the iron cavalry of Yong Kingdom came too fast, he didn't know if he could hold on.

. . . .

Murong Nobunaga did not enter the city, he personally led two thousand cavalry, and headed straight for Jinyong City in the northeast of Luoyang City.

Although Jinyong City was gradually abandoned after Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, it was still the main road from Heyang Bridge to Luoyang City. Murong Nobunaga was going to intercept the Khitan cavalry returning from the defense change here.

As if God likes to make coincidences, Murong Xinchang led two thousand cavalry to gallop to less than five miles away from Jinyong City. When the city was already in sight, cavalry with dragon and phoenix flags appeared in the sky.

It turned out that the elite cavalry of the Dragon Army and Feng Army of the Liao Kingdom Pishi Army led by Gao Song also arrived.

Nobunaga Murong had considered the possibility that the Liao Kingdom might send iron cavalry to support him, so he had already made preparations without thinking.

Although Gao Song was taken aback, he also made preparations in his heart and did not panic.

"Zhang Xibao, take a hundred riders and see who is here?"

"Gao eldest son, go and see if Zhang Thief's Yongliang cavalry has arrived?"

The two reacted at the same time. After all, there was still a distance of several miles, so it was necessary to confirm who was on the other side.

Zhang Xibao led a hundred Tuyuhunjing cavalry and scattered towards the opposite side like a sky full of stars.

The Khitan cavalry on the opposite side were similar, they all formed a battle group of three to five cavalry, and they came over like thousands of horses.

The iconic Hexi cloth visor and the very recognizable double-layer Hexi helmet, the eldest son Gao yelled.

"If the cavalry from Yongliang has arrived, raise the red flag to notify the supervisor!"

Typical leather robes of the Liao Kingdom, with dragons and phoenixes painted on the flags, with all the bells and whistles.

Without any hesitation, Zhang Xibao reached out and took out a piece of poisonous smoke from the pear blossom gun from his pocket, and sprayed it towards the opposite side with a puff.

Of course no one can be sprayed, this is to notify Nobunaga Murong.

Fireworks are much more convenient than raising flags, so Murong Xinchang received the information much faster than Gao Song.

Let him shout back, "The hussars are dispatched immediately, cavalry and shooting scattered, and the cavalry are armored, and they will follow the flag of a certain commander."

The cavalry of the Yong State now call the half-armored cavalry Xiao cavalry, and the light cavalry with only a small amount of armor on the chest are called hussars.

Under Murong Nobunaga's order, [-] hussars divided into three directions and galloped towards the opposite Khitan cavalry.

Gao Song is from Bohai. They are a farming, half-fishing and hunting people. They are not very familiar with the common cavalry tactics of this grassland people.

Moreover, the prairie cavalry that Gao Song wiped out before was completely incomparable with the two thousand cavalry under Murong Nobunaga's command.

Because Murong Nobunaga's equipment of fifty cavalry is better than the equipment of one thousand cavalry of the prairie cavalry, and the combat power and willpower are not at the same level at all.

So after Gao Song released the light cavalry around him according to the method of fighting the prairie cavalry, he immediately suffered a big loss.

Because Regret Shantou and the hussars of the left and right Habayashi guards were equipped with horned crossbows.

During cavalry duels, their common tactics are to rush to more than a hundred steps, then slow down their horses, and use a horned crossbow for precise strikes, and then continue to ride their horses and use their horse bows to fight the enemy cavalry.

Therefore, as soon as Gao Song's Qingqi was released, it was immediately attacked by a wave of targeted attacks.

"Grey robe!" Zhang Xibao shouted loudly.

"Grey robe!" Immediately four soldiers followed him and shouted.

This is to lock the enemy. Gray refers to the color, and the robe does not refer to the robe, but the color of the horse. The match between the horse and the horse is the robe.

In order to ensure the accuracy, after all, the horses are moving at high speed, so the horn bow shooting will aim at one enemy horse with five horsemen, so as to kill accurately.

'Dole!Dole! Amidst the sound of crossbow arrows being fired, the light cavalry who had just come out of the Khitan cavalry formation were shot down one after another to the ground, and when they were about to reach the range of the bow and arrow, Zhang Xibao and others had already changed into horse bows.

The morale of the Khitan cavalry, who suffered a big loss, was a little bit down, but they persisted.

Now in the stage of the horse bow duel, the cavalry on both sides are like mastiffs, entangled with each other, but the mastiffs generally open their mouths and bark at each other, while the cavalry shoot each other with bows and arrows.

The Khitan cavalry, who had just suffered a big loss, had reached the stage they were good at, and finally showed their due level. The cavalry on both sides were elite, and the fighting became extremely fierce in no time.

At this time, the armored cavalry on both sides were basically finished wearing armor.

Murong Nobunaga and Gao Song each led their armored cavalry and began to trot slowly. At the same time, the horns calling for their own light cavalry to come back to protect them also began to sound.

Hearing the call, the light cavalry broke away without hesitation, and began to provide cover for the heavy cavalry who could only trot.

On the ground where there was a fierce fight just now, except for the struggling wounded and dead bodies, it seemed as if no battle had erupted just now.

At this time, cavalry with such obedience and discipline are the elite of the elite, so the commanders on both sides have paid a hundred and twenty points of attention.

The fighting style adopted by the Yongliang iron cavalry is similar to that of charging on the wall. The front row is full of ultra-long carbine guns of one foot and five feet, and the rear is equipped with horned crossbows and long horizontal knives.

The fighting method of the Khitan cavalry is the most popular at this time, that is, when trotting, they will shoot a round of arrows first, and when charging, they must separate the width of two horses.

The advantage of this method of warfare is that one can try to use a wave of arrows to disrupt the enemy's formation before real contact.

The distance between the two horses is to leave room for the lance or carbine to swing.

To put it bluntly, the Yongliang cavalry, especially the armored heavy cavalry, first used the force of a collective impact to break through the enemy's formation, and then relied on the cavalry behind to deal damage with horned crossbows, long horizontal knives, and horse lances.

The Khitan cavalry brushed through the enemy's formation like iron brushes, and every time they brushed, they could ruthlessly take away a piece of flesh and blood.

The former can better reflect the final result of the heavy cavalry, but the training is extremely difficult, while the latter is more economical.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and the cavalry started to speed up from a run to a sprint.

At this moment, arrows rained all over the sky from the direction of the Khitan cavalry, together with the arrows from the left and right light cavalry, it covered Yong Guoxiao's cavalry like dark clouds.

There were screams and falling sounds one after another. Even if it was a half-suited cavalry, there would still be flaws, and there would be bad luck.

In addition, the formation of the cavalry is too dense, so the killing effect of the Khitan people's arrow rain is particularly good.

However, the Yongliang iron cavalry did not flinch, let alone panic because of the casualties, and even the hussars guarding the two wings did not shoot arrows blindly.

Forty steps!
Thirty steps!
The hooves of the horses resounded like thunder, and the Yongliangxiao cavalry who used the wall-mounted charge crashed into the Khitan cavalry formation.

The Khitan cavalry, whose formation was a bit scattered and who had no direct determination to force their anus, immediately retreated from both sides, and a blood groove was directly dug out.

After the front row's attack was successful, the horned crossbows in the back row immediately shot at the Khitan cavalry like locusts.

This is a crossbow, not a bow, so even if an iron cavalry encounters a horned crossbow, the casualty rate will be terrible!
The Khitan heavy cavalry couldn't go up to kill the enemy with their horses at all, and the people who were shot turned their backs on their backs. When they returned to the country, the Yongliang cavalry had already run away.

Gao Song was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, he hurriedly assembled the team, but before the formation was set up, the heavy cavalry on the opposite side turned back again, and rushed over like riding a wall.

The power this time was far better than the last time, because the formation of the Khitan cavalry was not adjusted properly, and because they were even more flustered after being struck by the thunder last time.

All the Khitan cavalry fell down at once, and the Yong cavalry didn't suffer much damage at all.

At this time, the hussars of Yong Kingdom finally released their trump card.

Fire trees and silver flowers lit up the sky, and more than [-] pear flower guns sprayed out a large amount of poisonous smoke and iron filings, making a huge noise.

Frightened by this, the Khitan cavalry horses roared and the morale of the knights dropped to the lowest level.

Murong Nobunaga took the opportunity to issue an order to disperse the assault, and Yong Guoxiao's cavalry used 100 people as a combat unit to intersperse back and forth among the Khitan cavalry formation.

Gao Song tried several times to regroup the team, but was unable to do anything. He could only raise the banner of the coach and command his cavalry to circle around Jinyong City and retreat to the Yellow River.

Murong Nobunaga and Qiong Re Duojin clung to Gao Song tightly, tearing the flesh and blood of the Khitan cavalry in constant pursuit and collision.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Khitans had a thousand more riders than them, and the elite of Pishi's army came here, Gao Song would have collapsed.

The two sides chased for about [-] quarters of an hour, and the Yongguo Youyi hussar squad, which was in charge of security, rushed over from a distance, and they all raised the red pennant flags that the enemy was approaching.

It turned out that the Khitan cavalry who had switched defenses between Zhongli City and Heyang City finally came.

At this moment, the enemy's cavalry has increased to [-] cavalry, and the Yongliang cavalry has been a little tired after trekking for dozens of miles and fighting for an hour.

Murong Nobunaga took the initiative to break away from contact, and led his army back to seize the important place of Jinyong City.

Gao Song was wondering why the Yong cavalry stopped chasing him?Instead, I thought that the cavalry from Zhongli and Heyang might have arrived.

Before he had time to give the order, Nobunaga Murong quickly retreated back to Yong Jin City.

This..., there are iron cavalry with strong impact on the opposite side, and there are also a large number of crossbow arrows. If you fight against the city, you need to be lethal and mobile.

After confronting for a long time, Gao Song couldn't make up his mind to continue the attack. While sending people to report to Yelu Deguang, he had to retreat to the Yellow River to defend the pontoon bridge.
