Yan Jin in the stronghold on the bank of the Yellow River also saw Zhang Zhao's big banner, and said to Huang Yingda beside him, "The Khitan people besieged but did not attack, and the one who wanted it was the king.

Our generation underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. We should have died here, but how could we harm the king?

I lead the army out of the stronghold to fight to the death with the Khitan people. You lead a hundred horsemen to break through and report to the king. Please ask the king to lead the army back to Jinyong City. The Khitan people will retreat when they see that the ambush is not successful. "

Huang Yingda nodded, then quickly shook his head. To be precise, he and Yan Jin did not underestimate the enemy, but had too much appetite.

Yan Jin wanted to use the key stronghold as a millstone to attract the Khitan people from Mang Mountain, and then kill them with a strong bow and crossbow.

So when the Khitans had only a few thousand soldiers and horses, they didn't care at all, but who knows, the Khitans became more and more later, and there were more armored soldiers and armored cavalry.

Although it was not possible to capture the fort, Yan Jin was trapped in the fort.

In fact, this is what Yan Jin wanted, but after being unable to let the Sentinel communicate, he even lured Zhang Zhao over, which would be a serious crime.

Huang Yingda arched his hand, "Since the Zuoshi's original intention is to lure the Khitan army down to Mangshan Mountain, then don't make dejected words.

After the king retreated, a certain army would come again, and he would use 6000 people from the left as chains to kill all Khitan warriors. "

Therefore, Yan Jin opened the strongholds, with [-] iron armors from Wuwei and Xiongwu towns as the central army, [-] archers lined up on the left and right wings to cover with bows and crossbows, and [-] soldiers from Xiaoqi hid in the army formation. , Prepare for an assault.

And when they saw Zhang Zhao's banner, Yelu Wuzhi was so surprised that he almost danced.

This Khitan warrior desperately suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and urgently ordered Geng Chongmei to lead a thousand cavalry to harass and intercept Yan Jin's infantry. He personally led more than [-] cavalry to rush towards Zhang Zhao.

At the same time, Yelu Pode and Li Shouzhen, who set off from Yanshi City, also led 20,000 people to the battlefield from the right, and the more than [-] soldiers of the Dragon Army and Feng Army that Gao Song desperately sent ashore also turned around from the left.

The total strength of the Khitans immediately reached 30,000 taels, while Zhang Zhao's side, together with Yan Jin's 6000 people, only had 500 people. The number of Liao troops was more than three times that of the Yongliang army.

A little careless, Zhang Zhao's hands broke out in cold sweat.

Before this, he had never encountered such a fast and resolute army. The speed of Khitan cavalry dispatching alone was far higher than that of the Dingnan Army Li's and Gaochang Uighurs.

At this time, the surrounding area is completely flat, and there is no hill to hold on to.

But when Zhang Zhao looked back, there happened to be a Yang Canal connecting the Qishui and Luoshui behind the army, which could provide a certain degree of defense.

Zhang Zhao then immediately brought his 500 people back to Yangqu, leaving only [-] cavalry as a reserve, and dismounted the rest of the cavalry, and set up the Yanyue formation with the [-] heavy infantry of Regret Shandu, and defended themselves against the water.

Seeing that Yan Jin had abandoned the fort and came out with infantry, Yelu immediately sneered and said to the left and right.

"The bandit army and I are both known for their iron cavalry. Now we use our weaknesses to avoid our strengths and move out with infantry. Aren't we looking for a dead end?"

Yelu Wuzhi didn't answer. He looked around and saw that Geng Chongmei's thousand cavalry had rushed around Yan Jin's infantry, but he couldn't find a weak point to break in after probing left and right. The delay didn't help much, so he waved his hand immediately and said .

"The infantry in the fort is dispatched to use itself as a bait to attract my cavalry to attack.

Seeing that our army was about to encircle, Zhang Zhao didn't mount his horse and flee with his relatives, and he didn't abandon his deployment. He really is a benevolent and loyal minister, respectable!Alas! "

Speaking of this, Yelu Wuzhi's eyes flashed with regret, "Unfortunately, for my sake of Daliao, Zhang Thief must not be allowed to leave alive.

You Xiangwen, please lead [-] cavalry from the headquarters to entangle the army of the Yong army's fortress again, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will follow me to attack the thief Zhang by the Yangqu.

His Majesty has an order to kill Zhang thief, give five thousand households, and make him king! "

. . . .

Zhang Zhao laughed loudly, and said to the surrounding warriors: "How small is the Liao Lord, the king of a certain country, who governs 5 million people, is only worth [-] households?

This is different, I heard that my elder brother has a daughter called Lu Bugu, who is regarded as a treasure on weekdays, whoever wins the first merit today can marry my niece the next day, and give five thousand and one households! "

Zhang Zhao gifted one more family on purpose, which caused everyone to laugh in unison.

Good guy, Xiao Chuo's mother was just given away by my King Zhang casually.

Amidst the laughter, Zhang Zhao suddenly calmed down a lot. Most of the warriors around him were his absolute confidantes who fought against him.

For example, Manxiong and Dunzhu, who laughed the loudest, are the source of Zhang Zhao's confidence and the source of his confidence that he can dominate the world.

In the distance, the Khitan cavalry had already started to run, and the tremor of the ground represented the coming bloody battle.

The messengers around Zhang Zhao thumped the drums in their hands, and all the troops shouted 'Wind! '.

After that, more than a thousand auxiliary soldiers wearing leather armor and a small amount of chain mail immediately stepped forward, squatted down at the outermost edge of the army formation, and pointed their spears at the sky obliquely.

The original Yanyue Formation immediately turned into a shimmering hedgehog.

In fact, there are far more than 500 people around Zhang Zhao. This is because, as the most elite heavy armored soldier around Zhang Zhao, Regret Mountain is equipped with auxiliary soldiers.

You know, just an ordinary heavy armor soldier needs to be equipped with a collar of cloth iron armor, a collar of chain mail, a mo knife, three horizontal knives, a god arm bow, a long tip bow, and a short bow. One, one Hu Lu, fifty arrows, one of four iron whips/cooked copper maces/guduo/large axes, and a lot of other odds and ends of daily necessities.

This is obviously not something that can be done by one person. If one person carries so many things, he will inevitably waste his precious energy elsewhere.

So at the very beginning, heavy armored soldiers like Regret Shandu were equipped with auxiliary soldiers.

It's just that the initial auxiliary soldiers, the cavalry was assigned to Yicong Xiaoqi, and the infantry was assigned to United Archers, but in practice, there were many problems.

For example, the cooperation between the auxiliary soldiers and the armored soldiers is not tacit, and there are too few auxiliary soldiers to form one-on-one assistance, and the armored soldiers still have to do a lot of things by themselves.

And because the auxiliary soldiers didn't play much role, the soldiers were unwilling to share their credit with the auxiliary soldiers.

So it later changed into a model in which the soldiers recruited fellow villagers, friends, and even brothers and nephews.

Moreover, these auxiliary soldiers were responsible for everything from equipment to salary, except food, which greatly reduced the pressure on the army, and immediately became popular in Yongliang.

Therefore, Zhang Zhao seemed to only bring 500 people, but in fact, there were nearly 4000 people.

4000 people are just beside Yangqu, gathering together like hedgehogs.

The first thing that appeared in everyone's eyes was the Khitan Zuopishi Army's [-] cavalry and [-] horseshoes, rolling up yellow sand all over the sky by the dry river.

From a distance, you can only see smoke and dust everywhere, but you can't see how many cavalry there are.

The iron cavalry representing the direction of the cavalry's assault was covered by the smoke, which made Zhang Zhao unable to see clearly which direction the Khitan cavalry was mainly attacking.

Qiong Re Duojin put on his pocket guard and stepped out alone. He held an iron tire bow, one right arm, and flew out with a bright red feather arrow whistling and shrill.

"Eighty steps!"

Hearing Qiong Re Duojin's shout, the auxiliary soldiers in the front row also shouted in unison, 'Eighty steps! '

Shanshandu and Youbainwei both use hard bows, so within [-] steps, the lethality is very strong, even if they are facing iron cavalry, they don't have to be within [-] steps.

As soon as the roar fell, the enemy cavalry had already approached eighty steps, and the generals of the generals quickly shot white feather arrows to determine the covering direction.

Only a sound of footsteps was heard, and the formation of Shaking Mountain Capital changed slightly. The auxiliary spearmen moved forward a little, giving room for the archers to shoot.

The archers also spread out a little. They took out their hard bows, opened the cover of Hu Lu, and slapped Hu Lu's waist with their hands, making a monkey-like whine.

The excitement of the war immediately surged into everyone's heart.

'Boom! 'The war drum beside Zhang Zhao suddenly rang!

"Wow!" All the soldiers roared in unison, and suddenly let go of the bowstring.

The arrow carrying huge kinetic energy shook violently in the air, like a flying fish that came alive and was crossing the dragon gate, it slammed towards the opposite side.

The rain of arrows that shook the mountain was not shot randomly, but practiced countless times, and the direction of the shooting was controlled by the officer.

Each wave covers a different area, so that there is no waste. [-] bows have been shot with an efficiency of at least [-] bows.

He drew his bow and shot at eighty paces, and when the Khitan cavalry rushed to forty paces, the ground was already like hell.

The corpses of people and horses were strewn all over the ground, and the undead were howling terribly. The horses, which had a stronger endurance than humans, lost the control of the knights, and were full of arrows, running around.

Of the hundreds of Khitan cavalry who advanced forward, almost none of them could charge forward under the blow of the arrow rain.

but!This is what Yeluwuzhi wanted, and these hundreds of riders were nothing more than cannon fodder.

After a short period of silence, after the running horses ran away, 500 people and armored cavalry suddenly appeared in the yellow sand, and they were the main force.

Without even going through the traditional routine of throwing a wave of arrows, the Khitan cavalry rushed forward.

Because they attacked Zhang Zhao with several times their strength, there was no need for extra operations at all.Just break through directly.

"Change the Divine Arm Bow!" Zhang Zhao shouted, and was the first to take the Divine Arm Bow. As King Zhang's most successful golden finger, the Divine Arm Bow was known as a national artifact in Yongliang.

Not only was its existence kept extremely secret, but even a part of the divine arm bow was not allowed to be taken out of Liangzhou, which was a crime of beheading.

The god-armed bows in each town are controlled by the chief soldier and deputy general, so you can't see them easily.

'Shua! In an instant, one thousand divine arm bows were lifted up, and there were a total of [-] in Yongliang, half of which were equipped in Shashandu.

Zhang Zhao almost cried for the Khitan cavalry on the opposite side, a thousand bows with divine arms!At a distance of forty steps, the lethality was not much different from that of muskets.

"Woo!" The unique sound of the horn inspired by the divine arm bow sounded, and the dull and simple sound of firing crossbow arrows sounded.

A Khitan cavalry who rushed to the front didn't care, because he was wearing two layers of armor, and he had a collar, as long as he was not particularly unlucky, it didn't matter if he got a few arrows.

But then, he suddenly felt as if something passed through his neck on the left side, and there was also a numb feeling.

Immediately afterwards, the knight shook twice, his chest was soaked by a warm feeling, and his hands that could catch leopards and slay wolves suddenly couldn't even hold the reins of the war horse.

Suddenly, the knight fell down. The last thought in his mind was still thinking, did he get hit by an arrow?

This knight is still considered good, because he wears two layers of armor and is heavy.

The knight behind him wearing only one layer of armor was directly shot by two crossbow arrows, and immediately felt as if his chest had been hammered by an invisible giant hammer.

In the excruciating pain, he could even hear the grunting sound of his heart and lungs being pierced by crossbow arrows, and he closed his eyes without even having time to think about life and death in his mind.

Iron cavalry rushed forward one after another, but the firing rate of the divine arm bow was faster.

The soldiers who shook the mountain capital became more and more excited as they shot more and more. The crossbow arrows rushed towards the opposite side like a storm. The distance of only forty steps, with the corpses of soldiers and horses blocking them, was like a moat.

There were only [-] Khitan cavalry charging, but there were [-] divine arm bows.

Zhang Zhao, who was negligent in training, only fired the magic arm bow once, and the cavalry in front were almost wiped out.

Three thousand and five hundred riders are gone, at least eight or nine hundred riders are gone, and the rest have already run back.

"It's boring! Yeah, I've practiced Mo Dao for two and a half years, so I probably won't be able to use it again."

Zhang Zhao could only hear the barbarian beside him muttering something unsatisfactory, and then, the entire battlefield suddenly fell into dead silence.

Yelu Pode, who was so loud, was stunned. This is an iron horse in human harness!
Why is it like a roe deer in the woods, this is almost a thousand rides gone?
