Chapter 101 Yelang Mile Road-3

?"Boom--""Boom---"

"Boom boom boom boom--"

With the roar of cannons, the Song army formation was quickly shrouded in the blue and black smoke, and its vision became blurred. 4∴8065 Under the bombardment of artillery, the cavalry quickly dispersed, and the commanders of the thousand men, centurion, and ten men all shouted loudly. First, the leaders of the team were sorted out and slowly retreated. The other cavalry and war horses were still in shock. The 100-man teams were stirred up together, and the war horses were neighing, and the battlefield was in a mess.

"Go on the horse——" Yang Zaixing turned over the horse and lifted the reins. More than 500 cavalrymen stepped on the mounts that were lying on the ground. The four hooves of the war horse stood up with force. The cavalry suddenly stood one head higher than the surrounding infantry and their vision became wider. It seemed that they felt the mood of the master. Some war horses sniffed excitedly, while others neighed in a low voice.

"Yelu Dashi is on the opposite side?" cavalry general Wang Lan joked, "As long as he is there, General Yang will pick him with one shot!"

"Rise the gun--" Yang Zaixing shouted. He raised the iron spear with his right hand, and behind him, the cavalry raised a jungle of long spears.

"Get out of the formation!" Yang Zaixing shouted violently, urging the mount, and the war horses ran hard. More than 500 cavalrymen of the white camp followed him closely, and the war horses quickly passed through the smoke surrounding the insurgent formation. On the open battlefield, the cavalry formed a vanguard formation that penetrated the enemy formation, and quickly increased the speed of the war horses to the fastest. Although there were only more than 500 cavalry, for the Liao cavalry in a mess, it was like a group of devils suddenly emerging from the blue smoke.

The sound of the wind blew in his ears, and the cavalry of the White Camp lowered their bodies, trying to minimize the resistance of the wind. The reins had already been hung back on the saddle. The cavalry only controlled the horse with their legs, holding spears one by one, and each person stretched out the spear as far as possible. The entire arrow formation also stabbed forward like a spear that was moving forward. At this time, the "boom" artillery bombardment of the Song army formation continued. After the cavalry of the White Camp launched an attack, they avoided the front of the battlefield where the dark shells passed from time to time. More than 500 cavalry galloped hard, running smoothly across a beautiful arc, and crossed across the Liao cavalry beyond the range of the raging artillery shells. The Liao army's horse seemed to feel the murderous aura surged. Although there was still a mile or two away, many mounts were no longer controlled by the owner. Tool: No advertisement, full text, and more,

"kill--"

Yang Zaixing shouted loudly, and the spear was like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, stabbing a Liao soldier. The three forces of horsepower, arm strength, and waist strength were combined, and the armor was pierced with a "puff". He used force with his arms, and the spear drew a short arc. At the same time, the Khitan cavalry seemed to "fly" and blood was flying all over the sky. In the lightning, the corpse hit another cavalry next to him, and the Liao soldiers facing him were in chaos. "Bo!" Yang Zaixing shouted loudly, and his eyes widened. The Khitan cavalry did not dare to step forward as if they were afraid of bees. The Song cavalry followed Yang Zaixing, Wang Lan and other cavalry generals, and took advantage of the momentum to enter the enemy formation like tigers entering a flock of sheep. Although there were tens of thousands of Khitan cavalry, they were unable to stop the five hundred people from rushing left and right in a hurry.

"A good fierce general," Wanyan Zongbi looked at him from afar and secretly praised, "It's a pity that there are too few people! Long-term battle will lead to failure!"

Yelu Tiege frowned and watched the battle. The Hujia below the hills blew together. The entire team of Khitan cavalry in front rushed forward, trying to surround the Song army. After Yang Zaixing led a group of men and horses to penetrate the enemy formation, he ran back to the formation without any stop. Wanyan Zongbi looked at Qianli Jing on the opposite side and was surprised to find that the Song army formation had actually moved.

More than ten flags passed through the smoke-filled battlefield and advanced towards the place where the Khitan cavalry was. The infantry formation followed closely behind the flags. The black legs were neatly struck forward. The infantry in front of the phalanx uniformly pointed the musket guns in front of the phalanx, and the bright tips of the guns jumped up and down. After the flags were set, the Song army quickly took out the antlers from behind and inserted them in front of the formation. The antlers could easily injure the war horses, which were something that the cavalry hated. The antlers were sharpened to the outside, and the other three piles were tied to the ground. The staggered stakes were enough to penetrate a war horse that rushed to the formation at full speed. The square formation in front was tying the deer.

Behind the horns, the dozen Song army formations behind moved forward in a regular manner like chess pieces. They passed through the gaps left in the middle of each deer antler formation and came to the front to lay down the antlers again. At this time, the dozen square formations that were thrown behind pulled out the antlers and marched again. After reaching the front through the gaps in the front, they set up the antler formation again. The Song army infantry once again covered the alternately and advanced towards the enemy slowly and firmly. Wanyan Zongbing also found artillery trucks and ammunition trucks marching in the middle of several square formations. The artillery hand pulled the horse-controlling bridle and followed the infantry forward, and cold sweat gradually oozed out of his forehead.

"What is the Southern Barbarians doing?" Xiao Wu murmured, "Can you catch up with the cavalry with the same speed as a tortoise?" Even so, his face looked ugly. In front of the slow and firm Song army, the Khitan cavalry who had just completed the entire team was at a loss. With Zhao Xingde's tenacity, the courage to fight, with the complete courage of the cannons, muskets, crossbowmen, and heavy axemen, the Liao army took the initiative to attack the deer antler formation, which was obviously a shame. However, if it was not stopped, the Song army approached step by step and would soon advance to the range of the iron barrel cannon.

"They don't have to catch up with the cavalry," Yelu Tiege seemed to answer Xiao Wu's nowhere, and said to himself, "Thirty miles north is the Huanglong Village in Fancheng. The rioters have rebelled against our Great Liao for a long time. Zhao Xingde doesn't have to catch up with us. He just needs to move forward slowly and arrive at Huanglong Village. Do we dare to stay between Zhao Xingde and Cao Di? Forty miles north of Huanglong Village is Yingchang Prefecture. Yingchang Prefecture is north of Yingchang Prefecture." Yelu Tiege's eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp light burst out. He looked at the "Zhao" flag opposite, and said in a deep voice, "Meet on a narrow road. Since you want to fight, then fight one after another!" He turned his head and ordered, "Let the cavalry in front of him retreat to the hill, rectify the troops and prepare to rush to the Song army formation!"

After the order was passed, more than 30,000 Khitan cavalry retreated like a tide, and the Liao army's infantry formation and iron barrel cannon were exposed on the hill. The Song army slowly advanced two miles away from the Liao army, and then stopped again. The formation was changed from dozens of small square formations with chess grids to form a large formation. Except for a few wandering on the two wings of the formation, the other cavalrymen were spread out from a distance, and some scouts teams were even thirty or forty miles away from the center of the battlefield. Although the original military information discovered that Yelu Dashi had rushed to Yingchang Prefecture, and the main force of the Liao army and the army cut off were at least a hundred miles apart, Zhao Xingde was always worried that at the critical moment of the battle, other Khitan cavalry brigades suddenly rushed into the battlefield. Therefore, the main responsibility of the Tabai camp cavalry led by Yang Zaixing was not to kill the generals and snatch the flag, but to warn all the movements outside the battlefield.

The battle was temporarily stopped, and officers at all levels were still shouting loudly in the whole team, and the gunners were busy setting up iron barrel guns.

Zhao Xingde was very satisfied with the content of the usual teachings of the battalions under his command under the pressure of tens of thousands of cavalry. He specially rode a war horse and inspected the battalions with the company of Lu Mingyu, Luo Xianshi, Deng Yuanjue, Yang Zaixing and other generals. Even if the height factor is taken into account, the range of the Liao army's iron barrel cannon cannot exceed two miles, but patrolling the military appearance under the enemy's gun is also a risk. In the battle between the two armies, the commander's majestic demeanor, calmness, and brave actions are very important to boost morale. In special circumstances, it can even determine the victory or defeat of a battle.

"Look, it's General Zhao!"

"General Zhao, ten thousand victories - ten thousand victories! ten thousand victories!"

"Protect the country and the people! Restore the homeland!"

"Wan Victory-Wan Victory-Wan Victory-Wan Victory!" "Wan Victory-Wan Victory-Wan Victory-Wan Victory!"

One battalion after another cheered, as if in the school reading field in Ezhou, the tens of thousands of Liao troops in front of him were as if nothing had happened. The marching and fighting for more than two months have been properly marching and fighting along the way, because of the proper strategy. Although the soldiers' robes were worn, hot and cold, they drank salty sauce soup, ate fried rice and flour cakes, and camped in the open air, without even tents. However, wherever they passed, the people of the prefectures and counties who survived under the iron hooves were happy

Inspiring, the elders welcomed the king's army with incense basins, and the prefectures and counties tried their best to collect food and fodder for the army. The frequent and arduous marchs did not destroy the morale of the Northern Expedition Army, but instead trained them into a powerful brigade that dared to compete with the cavalry on the plains. The troops had just beat drums and advanced in a whole team, and they forced tens of thousands of Khitan cavalry to retreat almost without fighting, which greatly boosted the morale of the battalions. Some newly joined Ding Zhuang gradually overcame their fear of the Khitan cavalry.

"Master General, the Liao soldiers are going to defend," Lu Mingyu bared his teeth and asked for a fight, "Let the left army go first." He subconsciously stared at Yang Zaixing, with a faint sense of provocation.

Yang Zaixing seemed to be unaware, and he slightly tilted his lips, put his hands in front of the saddle, and turned his eyes to the side. The other generals did not compete with Lu Mingyu for the first time, but all looked at Zhao Xingde. After some test just now, the generals felt that the Khitan cavalry that was cut off were not as strong as they imagined, and their willingness to fight the Liao army was greatly enhanced.

"Okay!" Zhao Xingde nodded in praise, but did not agree to Lu Mingyu's request for battle.

He pointed at the hill where the Liao army set up iron barrel cannons with a horsewhip, and said in a deep voice, "This is the center of the battlefield, and setting up artillery cannons on it can control the entire battlefield. Although the Liao army took the lead in occupying this place, unfortunately, their iron barrel cannons are not as far as ours. Even if they are condescending, they cannot reach our cannon positions." He sneered slightly and ordered, "Since both sides have iron barrel cannons, let the artillery battalion bombard the enemy's cannon positions first. The other battalions first set up defenses and prepare to deal with the enemy's attack on the main formation. After the enemy's formation is loose, then attack the enemy's formation on the hill."
