Chapter 184: Can't steal the chicken

When the troops of six thousand men formed a strict array and advanced, the speed was slow.

At this time, the six thousand people were dispersed into scattered lines and advanced. Without the constraints of the entire formation, the entire team's advancement speed suddenly increased.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Although they were dispersed, the heavy infantry still killed one by one in three steps. On this battlefield, it seemed that the sound of killing gave them countless courage, and they all kept moving forward with their swords in their hands.

The sound of horse hooves rumbled from behind. Mao Yi gathered the cavalry in various formations, but did not entangle with the Khitan cavalry. He shouted and brought six thousand cavalry to form a complete triangular charge formation. From Li Shimin's infantry side, he rushed past and arrived first.

When Li Shimin saw the cavalry rushing to their front, he shouted loudly, "Speed ​​up and seize the catapult position!" He was so angry that if the catapult position was broken by the cavalry, wouldn't they have no success?

Mogo in the distance was not only a look of ugly face, but also a fear.

The Sui army had 60,000 troops, and in addition to the Goguryeo people, there were more than 30,000 soldiers, and the Khitan cavalry he brought only 13,000. However, he thought that the terrain of this valley was narrow, and they were also ambushing and raiding wars. In addition, there were tens of thousands of Goguryeo people in the Sui army, and the more than 100 catapults he brought, he thought that such a soldier would definitely defeat the Sui army in one battle.

Just like when they were shooting Grass Valley, they first sent people to raid, constantly attack, drive them away, and make them confused. In the end, it was just a hunting game. But now, everything was beyond his expectations.

The Goguryeo people were indeed in chaos, but they could not at all attack the formation of the Sui army. His cavalry was indeed elite and brave, but there were countless extremely long-distance bows and arrows in the Sui army. Moreover, this Sui army was not in chaos when attacked. Although it was divided into several parts, it could still use flags to direct each part as an arm.

Especially after the raid, his men not only failed to get the Sui army at all. The fierce counterattack of the Sui army had already arrived. Five or six thousand cavalry and five or six thousand well-equipped infantry had already rushed up.

But he was left with only five hundred cavalrymen on defense and five hundred soldiers operating catapults.

He absolutely could not stop the attack of those people, and as long as it was broken here, all the catapults would be done. Without the threat of the catapults, the formations of the Sui army would not be broken even more.

When he thought of this, he seemed to have thought of their ending. In the end, the Sui army was not doing well, but they crashed into the Sui army's big net.

Moge pursed his lips and struggled violently in his heart. Maybe it was time to retreat now. It seemed that the elders of the clan were right. The Sui army was indeed the lord of the Central Plains, and they could not provoke them.

The key point at the moment is no longer how to defeat the Sui army and achieve such abundant results and spoils. Instead, as the young tribe leader of the tribe, how should he find a way to bring these Khitan people back to the grassland.

After calling a few personal soldiers, Mogo gritted his teeth, "Immediately send an order to the young clan leaders such as Abaoku and Watai, asking them to gather their troops and come to me, hurry up. This Sui people are too strong, we are not opponents, so it is best to leave!"

After saying that, he looked at the hundreds of people who were still manipulating the catapult car and said, "Don't worry about the catapult car anymore, get on the horse and prepare to fight! If it is not good, all retreat to Fuyu City." Even if the catapult car is sharp, it is useless now.

The Khitan soldiers dropped their catapults, stepped onto the war horses one by one, gathered with the five hundred people in front of them, preparing for battle.

Mao Yi's cavalry and horses were fast. The Khitans had just assembled the 1,000 men. Mao Yi's five thousand men had arrived. He fired a round of crossbow arrow rain at the Khitans 120 steps away.

"Raising the shield!"

At this time, Moge finally saw the face of the Sui army's super-range arrows. The Sui army cavalry all held a black crossbow in their hands, and they had already started shooting more than a hundred steps away.

Khitan cavalry one by one picked up leather shields and wooden shields to block them. However, the crossbow arrows were faster than bows and arrows, and they were even more ruthless. Although the cavalry all picked up shields, the Sui people were very cunning. No one shot the knights, and basically all of them were aiming at the Khitan war horses.

During cavalry battles, sometimes the knight's horse is more important than the knight. If the knight is injured, he can still run away with the horse even if he loses his combat power. However, if the horse is injured and is seriously injured, the cavalry who loses the horse will lose his legs and basically cannot run out of the battlefield.

The short black crossbow arrows inserted into the bodies of the Khitan war horses with a whistling sound. The Khitan knights who were still immersed in the last time were finally shot. The next moment, they were very scared to find that the horse suddenly knelt on the front hooves and fell down. Several cavalrymen were instantly pressed under their beloved war horses before they could pick their horses. With a series of crossbow arrows, hundreds of horses died, and dozens of people even died in battle.

Even Mogo's war horse was shot through the neck with an arrow and fell to the ground. After riding a soldier's war horse, Mogo was already unable to wait for the arrival of Abaoku and the others, and shouted, "Break northward!"

But the breakout was already a little late. Mogo's cavalry had been in the array defense before. If they wanted to break out and charge, they had to start accelerating. But they had just trot for a while, and the speed had not yet increased. The cavalry rushing towards them like wolves had already roared, and the sharp spears were shining with cold light, and they had already blocked them.

There was no shouting or killing sound, but only the cold eyes of the Sui cavalry.

The Sui cavalry even used the most common tactics of running around the enemy formation and cavalrying and shooting, and rushed directly at the more than a thousand Khitan cavalry. Sui cavalry rushed past with their cavalry spears and stabbed them out. Some even did not even turn back the cavalry spears that pierced into the enemy's bodies. They just pulled out the horizontal swords on their waists and slashed at the Khitan cavalry.

There were soldiers and horses everywhere, armor everywhere, swords and spears everywhere. The Khitans' most proud cavalry and shooting skills were not available at all at this time. Less than a thousand people were pressed and beaten by more than 6,000 cavalrymen, just like two swords appearing to attack each other with each other's sharp edges. Unfortunately, the sword of the Sui army was obviously of high-quality materials and extremely strong. It killed many Khitan cavalry along the way, while the Khitan sword was a semi-finished product, and the sword broke inch by inch.

Mogo rode on the war horse, looking at the Khitan knights falling down in front, and the Sui knights who were constantly rushing into the formation and attacking backwards, his heart suddenly fell to the bottom.

If he lost, it was not because his knights were not brave, it was because his knights had poor cavalry skills. The defeat was because there were too few people and too many Sui troops. If it was not his 13,000 people who came today, but the 30,000 people who had gathered together in the entire Khitan, although today's battle cannot guarantee that the entire Sui army will be wiped out, at least it can win.

Mogo's personal soldiers grabbed his war horse and shouted, "Young clan leader, we can't do it anymore, let's go!"

"Let's go? All my men are here, how can I go?"

"Young clan leader, let's break through. If you don't leave, no one will be able to leave. Let brothers stop you here for a while, you can run away first!"

After saying that, the personal soldier stabbed the horse with a bent horse and ran to the side of the battlefield with a painful war horse running desperately. Mogo looked back and saw that half of his personal soldiers were separated and half followed him north, causing half of them to form a defensive formation with a part of the cavalry, about a hundred people, to set up a defensive formation on the spot.

But the defensive formation of more than a hundred people was useless. Mao Yi's cavalry rushed through and broke through the last hundred cavalry. Mao Yi did not stop at all, and the entire army was divided into two, heading south and north, respectively, and rushed to control the two passes in the valley. Following the orders of General Chen Kefu, do not need to encircle and annihilate these Khitan dogs who dared to ambush them!

The Liao people's position outside the dense forest suddenly became quiet again.

But there was a position of thousands of cavalry just now, and now there are only dead horses left on the ground and many Khitan cavalry corpses! Many of the alive cavalry had completely lost their formation and were washed away.

But those cavalrymen who were lucky enough to die were not yet determined to rush toward the next step, but suddenly they discovered that in front of them, the armored infantry had already rushed closer.

"Change the formation, the scattered formation becomes the sword formation!"

Several loud roars came from the Sui army's infantry, and then the Sui army's infantry moved closer to the middle, and yelled at the word "kill" every moment, and yelled at the word "kill" every moment.

The Sui shouts with the word "kill" became more and more neat, but the originally scattered Sui army's iron-armored infantry quickly gathered together and gradually formed a staggering infantry formation. A pair of long and bright swords reflected the powerless sunlight in the sky, reflecting the pale faces of the Khitan cavalry.

Li Shimin held the Mo Dao and yelled, "The whole army attacked, kill them all, no one left!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The sound of roars came out, and the entire phalanx infantry advanced in an orderly manner. In just a moment, they collided with hundreds of Khitan cavalry rushing towards him.

If the cavalry is against the scattered infantry, the infantry will only be trampled and killed!

But if the squad against the cavalry, especially the heavy infantry of Li Shimin now, assembled into a rigorous square formation, the Jiemo Knife Formation faces hundreds of light cavalry who have been broken through the formation and have not yet been able to reorganize the array, it would be a massacre, one-sided massacre!
