Han Hai Tang Ergui

"Brother lived in the northern part of the Sai, and grew up among the forests. His ancestors were favored by the great dynasty. The emperors and ministers of the first Ming Dynasty, fathers and sons, are no longer savages.

When the Great Dynasty declined, within 50 years it merged with the Bohai Sea, descended to the Jurchen, and collected all ethnic groups in the south and north of the desert, and had the title of emperor, fortunately the land of Yanyun.

In the past, the Xiongnu and the Turks did not have such power. Why is it so hard to fill their desires, and they dared to drive their iron hoofs to invade the south with their younger brothers as the stupid and cruel generation of the Sima family in the Jin Dynasty?
Small people are easy to abuse, but God is hard to forgive!From the sixth year of Tianfu, within four years, wars resounded across the river north and south, and beacon fires burned inside and outside the Great Wall. , There is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and the bones are exposed in the wild.

The Liao army is more brutal than the Yan bandits of the past, how can my brother pay for the crime of exposing the corpses of millions of people in the wilderness?
Now trapped in death, why don't you abandon your weapons and surrender as soon as possible?If you can repent, you may save your life and drink the water of the Liaohe River. "

"Arrogance! Disrespectful bandits, how dare you treat me as a barbarian! Sooner or later, you and Shi Chonggui will be required to go to Huanglong Mansion to drink the water of the Liaohe River together!"

This is Zhang Zhao's gauntlet for someone to shoot into the city, Brother Guang was almost pissed off.

Especially the sentence grows among the trees, which made Yelude Guang furious, you fucking grow among the trees.

These days, Yelu Deguang's confidant has become Yelu Deguang's confidant because he has to arrange the back road. He walked slowly and said.

"Zhang Thief is just showing the benefit of his tongue. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about it. I have already won the support of the generals of the left and right Pishi Army, and I can set off to return north at any time."

Yelu Deguang sat down in silence, desperately wanting to escape from the predicament at the moment and harboring illusions and unwillingness, which kept pounding his brain.

Brother Guang slowly shook his head for a long time and said: "It's not the time yet, if you leave now, the army's morale will collapse, how can you escape the pursuit of Zhang Thief's iron cavalry?
Moreover, if he ran away in a hurry before revealing his defeat, even if he returned to the north, he would not be able to convince the public. "

Yeluwu nodded in agreement, but he knew in his heart that all the reasons Yelude said were just excuses.

The real reason is that after Brother Guang regained his confidence, he began to have fantasies again. To put it bluntly, he would not cry when he saw the coffin.

However, Yelu Wuzhi is not going to persuade him anymore. Now the Daliao Kingdom still has more than [-] troops around Yanshi City, with sufficient food and grass.

There are also more than a dozen fortresses on Mang Mountain and Guancheng. It is almost impossible to defeat Zhang Thief, but there are still qualifications for a few months of confrontation.

On the first day of October, seeing that the Yongliang Army's catapults were about to be erected, Yelu Deguang finally couldn't sit still.

The Khitans originally had more cavalry and fewer infantry, and being trapped in the city had already made the generals complain a lot. If they were still sitting and being stoned, problems might arise.

So, after Zhang Zhao issued the letter of war, Yelu Deguang quickly made deployments.

The gate of Yanshi City was opened wide, and [-] Khitan cavalry plus [-] Xiren and Bohai infantry came out of the city.

[-] Khitan cavalry also marched from the Mang Mountain area, which they could still control, to the great plain outside Yanshi City.

In addition, the eight thousand Han troops controlled by the Khitan generals also appeared on the battlefield together.

Yelude Guang rode his emperor Liujia, holding a yellow umbrella as the center of the army, with the Pishi army on the left and right as the middle army, the Shushan and Xi army on the left, and the tribal army, Bohai infantry and Jin army soldiers on the right. .

He is going to fight Zhang Zhao in a dignified battle!
Of course, Zhang Zhao welcomes Brother Yeguang's 'tactful' move.

In fact, this Yanshi city is quite difficult to fight, with its back against Mang Mountain and the city wall is strong.

It took the Yongliang Army more than a month to break through the Yiluo River, the natural barrier of Yanshi City, but it rained heavily within a few days, and the little water that was dug to divert it was nothing compared to the mountain torrents.

Zhang Zhao was originally afraid that the Khitans would go out of the city and rob him of the stronghold by the Yiluo River.

Because at that time, in order to avoid heavy rain and mountain torrents, the Yongliang Army had to withdraw half of its troops to the front line of Jinyong City for repairs, and the front line was forced to start rotations.

As a result, the Khitan people didn't know what was going on, and except for the daily confrontation of a small group of cavalry, they didn't send a large army out of the city at all.

So when the sky cleared, Zhang Zhao quickly shot Feng Zhanshu in. Unexpectedly, the Khitan people responded immediately, but Zhang Zhao was very happy.

The distance from Yiluoshui to Yanshi City is about six or seven miles. In the whole Central Plains, Yanshi City is an extremely rare place with many mountains and hills.

The overall terrain is high in the north and south and low in the middle. Only the Yiluo River impact plain by the Yiluo River is the most flat terrain, which is very suitable for a dignified battle.

After pulling out the forts of the Khitan people on the Yiluo River line, the Yongliang army repaired these forts that were damaged by gunpowder, and used them as military camps for their own defense and repair.

In such a large place, there is no room for intrigue, ambushes, and enemies to be used in a dignified battle.

While the army was still slowly entering the battle position, the light cavalry from both sides of Yong and Liao had already been fighting between Mang Mountain and Yiluo River for almost an hour.

It's just that Zhang Zhao didn't let Yicong Xiaoqi take the lead this time, instead he sent hussars from various towns.

Yi Cong Xiaoqi's training and equipment are still a bit poor, so there is no need to let them increase casualties just to cover such a large area.

The formations of both sides are similar, they are formed into small square formations one by one, and then use the small square formations to form a large square formation, which is the basic formation recorded in the military book, the Eight Diagrams formation.

The so-called gossip array is actually not a mosquito-repellent coil-like formation method at all, nor is it a strange-sounding Dunjia or Jiugong gossip formation.

This thing is actually a formation named after the location of the gossip, which is convenient for the commander to grasp the number of soldiers in various places, so as to mobilize the army.

What I want is not the appearance of gossip, but to mark the direction with gossip, which is convenient for command.

To put it in a more general way, we can bring it into the azimuth marking method of later generations of clocks and watches. For example, the Qian hexagram is the direction of twelve o'clock, the hexagram of Kun is the direction of six o'clock, and so on.

The advantage of this is that when the messengers pass the orders, they will not pass some outrageous things blindly.

For example, if the coach ordered a battalion in the northeast to be dispatched, the orderly, under tension, might hear that a battalion in the east and north was dispatched.

And using the gossip to indicate the direction, he can't listen to the Qian hexagram as the Kun hexagram.

Moreover, there are various combinations of the gossip, and the directions of the signs are far more accurate and detailed than southeast, north, and south.

At the same time, in terms of drum sounds, specific drum sounds can be defined as hanging specific meanings, which is also easier to convey clearly.

It can also allow the frontline officers to make pre-adjustments in advance through the long and short knocking sounds, and wait for the messengers to make changes after verification by both parties.

Therefore, Yong and Liao, just outside Yanshi City, set up a big formation that sounds absurd, but in fact it is not absurd at all.

At this point, Zhang Zhao, who has undergone systematic training from later generations, beat Yelu Deguang by a few blocks.

Brother Guang had to rely on the help of the officers and guards around him to control the tens of thousands of troops. King Zhang only needed a pen, a piece of paper, and a few messengers to complete the job, which was several times more efficient than Brother Guang.

"Let the barbarians go! Give the Beilu on the opposite side a blow first." After the formation was set, Zhang Zhaoxian was ready to make a big splash for the Khitan people.

Hearing what Zhang Zhao said, the attendant military academy waved the small flag in his hand, and the big drum standing beside the commander was immediately sounded.

Hearing the sound of the drum, an orderly rushed out immediately from the hillside. Then, the big drums standing around the armies also began to beat. The sound of the drum was long and short, representing the position of the wild bear.

In the mind of the messenger, there is a map of the eight trigrams formation, which is the most basic requirement.

On Zhang Zhao's side, the messengers had a small test every three days and a big test every seven days. If they misremembered the positions of various formations, they would be punished and even demoted if they were serious.

When the wild bear heard the sound of the drum, it began to put on armor, a layer of ring lock armor, and a layer of cloth armor.

There is also a breastplate the size of a pot lid tied to the chest, and there are not many pockets, necks, and visors on the head.

After doing all this, this stupid bear held a Mo knife, carried a bow with a god arm on his back, and hung Hu Lu on his waist, like a demon god alive, and walked forward with a huge banner on his shoulders.

And behind him, a well-selected auxiliary soldier was holding an extremely long spear, with an air-dried head stuck in the tip of the spear.

The barbarian bear walked between the two armies, planted heavy banners on the ground, then picked up the spear with the human head stuck in it by the auxiliary soldier, and under the watchful eyes of all the Khitan people, he took off the human head, threw it on the ground, and The feet made gestures on it.

"The northern prisoner on the opposite side, can you recognize this flag? There is also this head, which is the head of the captive Xiao Shilu. Liao Lord Yaogu, your uncle's head is here, dare to come and take it?"

The barbarian's voice was very loud, and at this moment he yelled, and the generals on both sides of Yong and Liao heard it.

On Yong Jun's side, they naturally laughed in unison, insulting, teasing, and grotesque.

On the other side of the Liao army, after the barbarian bears dragged the banner over, they all recognized that it was the flag of Xiao Shilu, the supervisor of the country's uncle.

Although Xiao Shilu has not been favored by Yelu Deguang in the past few years, he is still the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Shuluping and the uncle of Yelu Deguang. Suddenly, all the Khitan people felt a stabbing pain on their faces. .

After the wild bear called Yelu Deguang Yaogu and stomped Xiao Shilu's head under his feet, the Khitan people's anger erupted like a volcano.

"Your Majesty, please shoot this thief!" The first one who couldn't help it was the eagle shooter beside Yelu Deguang.

Yelude waved his hand with Guanghei's face, and the eagle shooter jumped out immediately.

He rode his horse to a distance of one hundred and fifty steps from the barbarian bear, got off the horse, took out the long-tailed bow in his hand, and ran to a distance of one hundred and ten steps before stopping.

This distance is somewhat beyond the effective range of ordinary bows, but the Condor Archer is very confident. He is confident that with his precious bow and archery skills, he will be able to shoot this majestic Southern barbarian to death.

' Whoosh! ''Boom! '

The Condor Archer took a deep breath, then exhaled suddenly and made a sound, the arrow that left the string flew towards the wild bear accurately like a dragon swimming.

The wild bear also took a deep breath, and didn't even change his posture, but straightened his back slightly.

This cunning giant bear hunched on purpose just now, because he suspected that the sculptor might aim at his head, and he should have this shooting skill.

Sure enough, he was right. The moment the eagle shooter's right hand left the bowstring, the wild bear stood up, and the bow and arrow thumped, directly hitting the oversized breastplate on his chest.

The wild bear only felt a tightness in his chest, and a huge thrust came, as if someone had punched him in the chest. It was a bit uncomfortable, but he could still hold on.

The eagle shooter showed a sneer, and shouted from a distance, "Nan Manzi, is this the end of the plan?"

After finishing speaking, two consecutive arrows shot out again!
You must know that what this eagle archer holds is not a few bows, but a strong bow with more than one stone, which can shoot two arrows in an instant.

Um!It also has the [-]% success power of my King Zhang.

Barbarian Xiong really didn't expect that the eagle shooter would make a second combo. Caught off guard, there was a sharp pain in his chest, and he almost groaned out of the pain.

However, that's it. The cloth-faced iron armor made of fine steel smelted in the Liangzhou blast furnace is also lined with chain mail. No matter what kind of bow he is, if he shoots it with more than a hundred steps, it will definitely not be able to completely break the armor. of.

The wild bear grinned, and he waved provocatively at the eagle.

"Beilu? Is this the end of the plan?"

The Condor Archer only felt his face heat up, his face flushed suddenly, he quietly clasped an arrow in his left hand, and rushed forward suddenly.

He also realized that the barbarian bear probably had a treasure armor on him, but no matter what kind of treasure armor, one hundred and ten steps can't break the armor, so how can you resist the eighty steps?

Under the blessing of the monstrous anger, the eagle-shooting hand rabbit rose and fell, and ran to the position of eighty or ninety steps after a few leaps.

He was about to draw his bow, but he suddenly noticed that the giant bear-like man on the opposite side suddenly pulled out a thing that looked like a bow but was not a bow from behind.

'Oops!This is the end! '

This was the last consciousness that flashed through the Condor Archer's mind, and he was careless.

According to common sense, those who wear three layers of armor generally do not carry bows and arrows, because it is very laborious to draw a bow while wearing heavy armor.

Moreover, the Condor Archer is confident that with his skill, he can kill the opponent before he draws the bow.

But he had calculated everything, he didn't expect that the other party would bring a crossbow!

Click!The sound of the mechanical bow of the divine arm bow sounded, and the crossbow arrows from the powerful crossbow strike of two stones and one fight instantly penetrated the chest and abdomen of the carving shooter.

The huge impact even caused the Condor Archer to shake a few times like a dead leaf in the wind.

When the blood was sprayed, a huge blood hole had already been pierced through the lungs of the Condor Archer.

He breathed desperately, and he wanted to complete the movement of drawing the bow, but he couldn't complete the task that was so easy for him.

After struggling a few times, the Condor Archer collapsed to the ground.

The wild bear grinned, "Yeah, you can't hit you at a hundred paces, you came up to eighty paces by yourself."

"Look at me taking my dog's life!" Just as the eagle archer fell to the ground, the entire Khitan army fell silent.

One of them was wearing a black armor, wearing a headgear that was obviously not in the style of the Central Plains, and a sharp helmet with a nose guard came out of the battle, shouting and cursing.

This is a blond-haired, blue-eyed hero with the blood of the Yellow-headed Uyghur or Yellow-headed Shiwei. He has a yellow puma on his crotch, and holds a long iron rod, and charged towards the wild bear.

If you fight against a horse with a step, you will be almost completely crushed if you are singled out. Therefore, when Huang Touxiao is about to gallop out, Chen Tingxiao, who is closest to the wild bear, also gallops out.

General Huang Touxiao also saw Chen Tingxiao, and immediately rushed towards him, and the two riders got closer and closer.

Suddenly, Chen Tingxiao pulled his horse and went astray. The blade of this thing is extremely long. In fact, most of the pictures of later generations of horses are Sha.

Compared with Ma Chan, Xiao is better at stabbing, Chen Tingxiao was stupid to stab him.

Just when he pulled his horse and strayed away, the little villain took out a meteor hammer with spikes on the hammer head from his waist, and turned his body slightly. The meteor hammer whizzed and flew towards Huang Touxiao. .

General Huang Touxiao was also guarding against the opponent's tricks. Almost at the same time as Chen Tingxiao threw the meteor hammer, he also took out a halberd-like thing with his left hand and threw it at Chen Tingxiao.

However, he did not expect that what Chen Tingxiao threw out was such a thing!
Meteor Hammer is a weapon that is really difficult to practice, and it is still on horseback. There are not many people who have this ability, because it is better to think about the method of sniping because of hard training.

In the end, Huang Touxiao, who was so lucky to die, met Chen Tingxiao, a wonderful person.

At that moment, two screams sounded, and Chen Tingxiao was hit on the back of the head by the halberd. With a bang, he felt stares in his eyes, and almost fell off the horse.

But Huang Touxiao will be miserable, such a big blow of the meteor hammer directly hits Huangtouxiao in the face.

The barbarian bear only heard the sound of hammering flesh, Huang Touxiao splashed blood on his face, howled miserably, shook twice, and fell off the horse.

In an instant, the Khitan lost one of the eagle archers and horse warriors in succession, and the soldiers felt extremely humiliated. Yelu Wuzhi and other Khitan generals looked at each other and wanted to stop it from continuing.

Because they could see that Zhang Zhao's Regret Mountain City was indeed a terrifying opponent, with many masters and good equipment, his side might not be able to match it.

However, before they took any action, there was a roar of mountains and tsunami on the Khitan side of the battlefield, and what they called was a person's name.

"Iwaki! Iwaki!"

"Iwaki! Iwaki!"

All the Khitan soldiers tapped their blades and let out earth-shattering shouts.

As everyone expected, a giant man who was almost the same size as the barbarian bear, wrapped in armor like an ancient monster, appeared!

The giant man is not called Yanmu, but because of his grandfather, Yelu Yanmu.

This person is Yelu Deguang's uncle and grandfather, and Yelu Wuzhi's grandfather. This person is tall and strong, and he can tear the made stag hide. His sound is like a bell, which can be heard several miles away.

Since Yelu Yanmu, such giants have almost always appeared in the descendants, which is a symbol of bravery among everyone in Khitan.

The burly man who emerged from the crowd was none other than Yelv Wuzhi's half-brother Yeluuchong.

Only on his own consciousness, the barbarian bear realized that facing him would be a terrifying opponent who was evenly matched with him. He threw the magic arm bow to the auxiliary soldiers behind him, and holding his usual long axe, slowly walk forward.

Yeluchong didn't have any other weapons, just a handful of iron bones in his hand. Two strong men who were 1.9 meters tall and weighed more than [-] kilograms slowly approached under the silent gaze of the crowd.

Er yelled twice, and the two suddenly exerted their strength and rushed towards the opposite side. For a moment, it seemed that the ground was trembling.

In such a battle of warriors, there is not much room for conspiracy and tricks, and they don't bother to use any tricks.

This is a contest of strength.

They didn't have any fancy moves, because they didn't work. They were of this size, wearing two layers of iron armor, so they wouldn't have any room for small assassination weapons, only hammers and axes.

In the clash of gold and iron, you hit the hammer and I hit the axe. After fighting several times, Yelu rushed the hammer and hit the wild bear on the head.

Blood immediately flowed from the bear's pocket, even the eyebrows and eyelashes were blood red.

It was Barbarian Bear's turn, and with all his strength, when Yeluchong missed the second blow, the long-handled ax in his hand smashed hard on Yeluchong's shoulder.

The sound of the shoulder blade breaking came, and Yeluchong, who had been hit hard countless times, couldn't bear it anymore. He screamed, and the bone in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

The wild bear didn't stop, and immediately struck Yeluchong's pocket with another axe.

Just like a wild bear, blood immediately flowed out from Yeluchong's pocket, and a piece of his forehead was even dented by the smash.

"Shiro!" Yelu Wuzhi howled terribly.

All three battles were defeated, and all the Khitan soldiers looked at each other with pale faces.

The wild bear didn't continue to make up the knife, but walked back, cut off the flagpole of Xiao Shilu's flag standing on the ground with an axe, and then stomped Xiao Shilu's head to death.

"Kill them all! Leave no one behind!"

Yelu De was just standing on his six-carriage of the Son of Heaven, and was already so angry that he lost his mind.

"The former army advances, attack according to the established plan!"

Zhang Zhao quietly wiped the cold sweat off his face, he was also afraid that the barbarian bear would die in battle!The blow to him, and to the Yongliang army, will also be very heavy.

"One, two, three, four, five!" Amidst the shouts one after another, every captain of the Yongliang Army was counting while beating the big drums in front of them while following the big drums that the army attacked.

Whenever four fives are counted, the army will stop the whole team.

The former troops of the Yongliang Army were all white crossbowmen in blue leather armor and white footwear!
Compared with the elite crossbowmen of the Yongliang Army, the Khitan's Xi people and the Bohai archers were not enough.

Yelu Deguang didn't know it at all. Like everyone else, he thought that Zhang Zhao was most proud of the Yongliang iron cavalry.

But in fact, the stepping crossbowmen under Zhang Zhao's command are also elite, because the first hang I opened, King Zhang, was the divine arm bow.

When he was in the Western Regions, there were not more than one hundred god-arm bows and a large number of horned crossbows built by the whole country in Khotan. In the battle of Polu Prefecture, Zhang Zhao might have been killed by Saktu.

The Khitan had few crossbowmen, which became their unsolvable weakness. On the battlefield, the rumbling drums of the Yongliang army suddenly turned into short, short drums.

In an instant, all arrows were fired!

Not only the stepping crossbowmen in the infantry formation fired arrows, but also among the light cavalry on both sides, the hussars also began to shoot intensively at the Khitan cavalry with horn bows and crossbows.

The Khitan cavalry who were suddenly hit by the bows and crossbows immediately separated. Yelu Deguang still learned the lesson of Gao Song last time, and was careful not to be defeated by the Yongliang cavalry with a wall-riding charge.

However, in fact, most of the current confrontations with the Khitan cavalry are lightly armored hussars.

What they focus on training is small group division, expulsion and melee combat.

As a result, as soon as the Khitan cavalry dispersed, they were immediately surrounded by a large number of hussars, and those who were chopped off turned on their backs.

At the same time, on the front, the Khitan archers, after being brutally shot by a large number of crossbow arrows, finally reached the effective range of the bows and arrows. Arrows from both sides flew horizontally, and the casualty rate began to soar.

After the battle reached a fever pitch, Zhang Zhao immediately ordered the long-awaited cavalry to put on armor and go into battle, constantly looking for the weak points of the Khitan infantry to attack.

The Khitan's tactics are also similar, they all chose to dispatch iron cavalry to attack the opponent's infantry phalanx.

Zhang Zhao, who was commanding on the mountain bag, was not panicked at all, because he could see that the exchange ratio between the two sides was in his favor.

Almost all the Khitan phalanxes on the battlefield were shaken to varying degrees.

Especially after they experienced a lot of crossbow shooting, their combat ability and combat will have been greatly reduced.

However, the Khitan people still have an army of [-] to [-], which is more in number than the Yongliang army, and the Khitan Lord Yelu Deguang is on the battlefield, so it is not so easy to collapse.

So Zhang Zhao looked at another place.

There, there was an army paddling, and it was the soldiers of the Jin army. Perhaps this was the breakthrough point for the Yongliang army.
