Chapter 154 Free training

The gun is stabbing, the knife is slashing, the knight is running, and the warrior is breaking through.

More than 10,000 people and the cavalry were arrowed for the entire breakout team. They had no war horses. They were surrounded on the mountain for five days. People had no food and could still kill horses and eat horse meat. The war horses had no horse feed. After five days of hunger, there was no war horses to get up again.

After eating the last meal of raw horse meat, Yuan Taizuo finally ordered the entire army to break through. Even if they all died, they could not be surrounded on this mountain like this.

The knights without war horses were still elite. They wore light armor and long cavalry rifles to form a huge triangular arrow array, and rushed down the mountain without fear of death. Even if the bow and arrow were shot on their bodies and the spears were stabbed into their bodies, as long as they were not dead, these people would continue to rush down the mountain frantically.

On both sides of the arrow formation were all walking knights carrying small round shields. They held shields to protect both sides of the array while constantly waving their sabers.

Yuan Taizuo also had no war horses, wearing armor, walking in the middle of the array. He held a big knife and shouted, "Brothers, kill me! I will not surrender even if I die in battle. Too many Sui people died at our hands. If I surrender to them, I will be slaves even if I do not die. If I do not have freedom, I would rather die!"

General Li Benlei was responsible for commanding and encircling the army. He calmly mobilized his troops to the desperate suicide breakout.

Guo Xiaoke's heavy cavalry was dispatched, and the horse's hooves, which were thunderous, rushed towards the formation of the Liao people in the rolling dust.

Without horses, no matter how elite the infantry is, they are not even as good as the infantry. Because the armor of infantry will be thicker than their leather armor, because the infantry will have large shields. They only have light armor and small shields. They have even been used to cavalry formations, and now they have suddenly become infantry, and they cannot even set up a complete infantry formation.

The horse's hooves flew over and the horse's spear sprinted, and the entire Liao people's formation was suddenly rushed into two pieces. Guo Xiaoke and his cavalry passed through the Liao people's formation. When he turned his horse's head, he rushed back with his men and horses. Once, twice, three times, four times, every time the Sui army attacked, the Liao people's formation would be broken once.

After four or five consecutive attacks, Yuan Taizuo's more than 10,000 troops had long disappeared in a complete formation. At this time, hundreds of people were basically a small formation, erecting round shields to form a defensive formation. While defending against the charge of heavy cavalry, they were still moving towards the center position, trying to gather together again to form a formation.

There were waves of gold and iron mixed together, and the sound of swords and weapons entering the flesh. One small formation after another was broken by cavalry, and one Liao soldier who had lost the cover of the formation was killed in battle.

When Chen Kefu arrived, it had been half an hour since he fought here. More than 10,000 horseless knights of Yuan Taizuo had already died in battle. Although the rest were not dead, they had already been attacked by the Sui army. Although they were all determined to die, they could only be attacked by the Sui cavalry and ran around.

"Master General, Yuan Taizuo still refused to surrender. Now Guo Xiaoke has broken them through. Otherwise, Li Shimin's heavy infantry surrounded them and wiped them out with a bow and crossbow." When Li Benlei saw Chen Kefu coming, he hurried forward and said, although the heavy cavalry soldiers had completely abused these horseless cavalry, they still caused some damage to the heavy cavalry. Many new cavalry still died in battle.

Chen Kefu shook his head and did not agree. If what Yuan Gai Tong said just now was true, then Chen Kefu had to consider the next exchange of prisoners of war. And Yuan Taizuo is the eldest son of Lu Yuanziyou and the commander of the Northeast coalition. It is indeed very important. If he is added during the negotiations, then the bargaining chips in their hands will be regained.

They had killed Yuanziyou's second son before. If one of their eldest sons was so important at this time, it would be necessary to say that even if the Liao people really had tens of thousands of prisoners of war that the Sui army had been defeated last time, I am afraid that the Liao people would not agree to exchange it. Maybe if Yuanziyou, who had lost two sons in a row, was angry and led Goguryeo to attack him with all his strength, it would be really not worth the loss.

Chen Kefu did not immediately tell the old man about the prisoner. After all, this matter was only one-sided statement from Yuan Gai Tong. If everything was fake, it would make the old man even more sad. It would be better to hide it from him for the time being and tell him when the matter is revealed. If he really has relatives alive, it would be a surprise. If not, then just pretend that it hadn't happened and it would not touch the old man's hurt heart again.

"Since Yuan Taizuo refused to surrender, then let this look. Let Li Shimin's heavy infantry brigade be dispatched, and then the 1st and 2nd Division were dispatched, and a total of nearly 30,000 people were sent to surround them. Then, the people from Guo Xiaoke's heavy cavalry brigade cut them into ten teams and then divided and surrounded them. Finally, the soldiers of each regiment were drawn as a unit to take turns to fight, fighting for each regiment for an hour, and then switching them down." Chen Kefu said indifferently.

The old man was stunned for a moment, "Master, what are you doing?"

Lu Shishen also said in confusion, "Master, why bother to deal with these teethless wolves? Why bother to let everyone take turns to fight? Our Second Division will be done with one division. Leave it to us. I promise to settle all the Liao people before sunset."

Mao Yi said calmly, "Don't get involved. If the general really wants to annihilate these Liao people, he just needs to mobilize the crossbowmen as the old man said. It won't take long to wipe out these Liao people. There is no need for you. Besides, even if you really want to send troops to fight, then it must be our first division, and your second division must be behind us."

Chen Kefu smiled and pointed at Guo Xiaoke who was galloping in the distance, and Li Shimin who was standing beside the array, saying, "This ambush was far from our plan, and the troops almost collapsed completely in the middle. Fortunately, we were the ones who won the final victory, which was a very great victory. I can even say that this is more critical and more meaningful than capturing Liaodong City."

Looking at Li Benlei and Mao Yi and Lu Shishen's puzzled look, Chen Kefu said solemnly, "We can take the Liaodong City, but His Majesty has completely consumed the strength of Liaodong City. If anyone else can take the Liaodong City. But after this battle, we are fighting a serious field battle. Although the Liao people's real soldiers are only 30,000, and we are still ambushing. But don't forget that only 10,000 of our 70,000 soldiers are veterans, and the rest are new soldiers, and new ones cannot be new."

"Do you know what I felt when I saw the Liao people stepping into the canyon so overwhelming, and I once gave up this battle. Now we have won, although it is a narrow victory."

Li Benlei, Mao Yi and others also recalled the battle that day, and they were all a little scared. They really had the victory or defeat on the front line. If they were to break through the Liao people's central army later, then the defeat would definitely be their own side.

"Master, you are invincible. If you defeat the strong with the weak, you will definitely become a general who will be famous in history!"

Chen Kefu shook his head modestly, "No, this battle is not my credit, it is the result of all the soldiers' desperate efforts. It is the result of Guo Xiaoke's heavy cavalry going crazy with the heavy cavalry, Mao Yi led more than 10,000 new infantry, but successfully used a thousand-layer paper formation of scattered soldiers to drag the 5,000 elite cavalry of the Liao people, and it is the result of Li Shimin and the others leading the heavy infantry brigade to be brave and brave. It is the result of the generals coming to the front line to fight, the result of General Li Jie, Gonghou Battalion, Logistics Battalion, and Medical Battalion. It is even the result of the sacrifice of General Liu Tiezhu's Fifth Division."

Li Jie stood aside, curled his lips slightly, and whispered in a low voice as if he was talking to himself, "The court will only remember you, history books will only remember your name, history will not remember details, or record small people. It is such a soldier who has fulfilled you, and one general has achieved success and thousands of bones are woven!" But the words revealed a little sourness. In his subtle meaning, he still hopes that the person is himself.

"But there is a huge luck in this. This victory is just our luck. But no one can say how long this good luck can accompany us. So the key is that we have the strength. Victory is not something that comes from prayer, but something that we take. Since Yuan Taizuo is unwilling to surrender, then use it as our surplus value. Our recruits lack actual combat and lack the experience of blood and fire."

"The previous battle has passed, but in the near future, we will face a more cruel battle. A few days ago, facing the 80,000 Liao people, it can be said that they are too strong and we will not fight. However, not long ago, when the Liao people led the army to the north again and came to the city of Liaodong, we cannot say to them, you are too many people, I will not fight. Since it cannot be done, we can only seize the time to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. Now there is the best sparring force there, why should we waste it? Let the brothers go, if they can't even defeat this tiger with no teeth, then when facing the real tiger, no one can save them."

"Old man, please arrange it. Remember to divide the enemy into ten sections. Every time we transfer a regiment, two thousand people will fight one thousand. If you can't win, then I have nothing to say. Send all the troops to give each soldier a chance to face the battle. Before the battle, you will have a class for a while and explain to them on the spot how to bring soldiers on the battlefield."

"We have more than 30 regiments, dividing the Liao people into ten teams. Each time we send ten teams to fight, and the rest of the soldiers watch the battle, you are responsible for teaching the grassroots officers on the side. One regiment fights for an hour, then replace the next regiment, and wait until the end of three hours. If Yuan Taizuo refuses to surrender, then encircle them and drive them back to the mountain again. I want to see how long they can last. Remember, Yuan Taizuo is very important to us, so don't let him die."
