Chapter 1272 Heavy Armored Infantry

East bank of Linghe River.

Ten thousand horses galloped, dust covered the sky, and the entire battlefield was swept by sand. With the help of manpower, the strong wind eroded a large number of lives like a tornado.

Yellow and black sand and dust were raging between the world, and the two armies were fighting, and from the outside, there was almost no difference.

However, Yelu Xiuge was exhausted, and when the strong wind suddenly broke out, he sent troops to destroy all the cavalry of the Tang Kingdom.

Infantry cannot occupy the huge Liaodong region, let alone go to Beijing.

So as long as the cavalry is eliminated, it will be a victory for the Khitan.

Li Wei realized this intention and immediately asked the army to defend the camp, and then asked the infantry in Jinzhou City to help.

However, the 100,000 cavalry rushed forward desperately, and in less than half an hour, they broke through the camp.

Helplessly, Li Wei organized cavalry and fought outside with the heavy cavalry of Youzhou Camp as the head.

"Dong--" A large number of bowstrings kept ringing, and the Khitans could ride on horseback and serve as archers.

Yelu Xiuge noticed the heavy steps of the heavy cavalry, and immediately responded: "Aim at the thick armored cavalry, swim and disperse, don't face it-"

In the past few years, he has never stopped studying heavy cavalry.

He realized that the heavy cavalry was moving forward, and only the only ones that could deal with them were archers, a large number of arrows, shooting their eyes, and war horses.

As long as they don't get close to them, wander around and wait for the heavy cavalry, they will only die.

Yang Shifan led the Youzhou Camp and rushed forward.

Among the heavy cavalry, a flag with the word Yang is particularly conspicuous in the chaotic battlefield.

A large number of heavy cavalry came in clusters, two or three feet apart, and war horses were side by side, "dong dong dong--" constantly hitting the ground, giving the Khitans huge psychological pressure.

Then there were a large number of cavalry, constantly fighting and shooting arrows, sprinting with heavy cavalry, as if they were rakes and plows, connecting a large number of Khitan cavalry.

"Swish swish swish swish--"

The Khitans rode on horses, constantly shooting arrows and aiming at war horses. In places without armor protection, war horses were constantly shot, and the horses fell to the ground.

However, the huge sprint made the latter not have time to react and trampled into meat paste.

"Go to deal with those Khitans!"

Li Wei rode his horse in the center and commanded the army. He could see the Khitans' plans at a glance and couldn't help but say, "Drive all the archers away--"

"We can't get through the deployment!"

After a while, someone said, "The Khitans are skilled in bows and horses, and they run too fast!"

"Aren't we happy?"

Li Wei said angrily: "We are Hexi Horse!"

But, that's the truth.

Even if the war horses are good, they are controlled by people. In front of the skilled Khitans, the Tang army is still quite different.

"The two wings cover Youzhou Camp, and the Khitans must not succeed!"

Li Wei said helplessly.

Immediately, the width of the charge expanded, but the speed slowed down, and the Khitans continued to erode the cavalry on both wings and isolated the Youzhou camp.

It's like a wild beast, eating soft meat first and then gnawing on bones.

Li Wei saw it and was anxious in his heart.

Even if there is a one-to-one loss, he will find it difficult to accept it.

You should know that these tens of thousands of cavalry have raised them for several years and are all Hexi horses. Besides, war horses are easy to find, but cavalry is hard to find.

Yelu Xiu Ge showed a smile on his face.

No matter how elite the Tang cavalry is, what can it do if it is wrapped in nearly twice the cavalry?

In such a weather sweeping by yellow sand, the infantry could hardly help, and could only watch on the city walls and watch the cavalry be encircled and annihilated.

"What's going on?"

Suddenly, a black background wall appeared not far away, covering the yellow sand, constantly moving forward, becoming clearer and clearer.

"Is this the Tang people's infantry?"

Yelu Xiu Ge was shocked.

On the periphery of the battlefield, 20,000 infantrymen walked heavy steps and approached step by step.

They were wearing heavy armor all over their bodies, with only a pair of eyes exposed, holding a five-foot-high shield, and holding a spear in the other hand, looking extremely cold.

The heavily armored infantry that was closely connected was like a human wall, an indestructible human wall, which began to approach from the outer battlefield and became closer and closer to the Khitan cavalry.

The Khitan cavalry that formed the encirclement seemed quite frightened when facing the approaching of an iron wall.

That's right, it's just fear.

"cast--"

With a command, thousands of spears projected forward with amazing arm strength.

In this moment, hundreds of cavalry were killed and injured.

There was a blank space in front of the iron wall.

When they were about to turn and fight back, the impact of the war horses, facing the iron-like shield, instantly failed.

In the gap between the shield, there are constantly spears and big swords that will kill you randomly, resulting in your life.

"shoot--"

"Crazy--"

At this moment, all the shield players in the first three rows squatted down, their shields pressed on the ground, and thousands of crossbowmen stood up and shot a large number of crossbow arrows forward.

"Swish swish swish swish--"

This is a weapon that is faster and more powerful than a bow and arrow. Instead, the interval is very short, four thousand at a time, and four thousand at another...

Each crossbow can fire two at a time, ten are loaded, and all are shot in the air.

It was during these breaths that tens of thousands of arrows were shot out from the Tang army. Although they were not accurate, their powerful coverage was terrifying.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, no living person could be seen within a hundred steps of this group of heavily armored infantry.

Thousands of cavalry were raging, wailing endlessly, falling to the ground and shooting into hornets' nests.

"Bound arrow—"

Yelu Xiu Ge exclaimed.

Even the Bohai people cannot produce such extremely exquisite equipment. They can only have a few occasionally, and are used for assassination, which is rare in the Khitan.

And this time, there were thousands of pairs, which was really scary.

The Khitan cavalry beside him watched his companions shoot into hornets' nests in a short time, and they are extremely frightened.

The war horse under his crotch was unable to urge him for a while, and he was in a dilemma.

"Sprint--"

Yelu Xiu Ge shouted: "Long spear, crossbow arrow, I see what else do you have, Khitan men, all of them are for me-"

Yelu Xiu Ge's words aroused everyone's enthusiasm, and the cavalry prepared again and began to charge.

Li Wei, who was deeply trapped in the cavalry quagmire, noticed the loosening, and the Khitans seemed to be not as crazy as before.

When Niu Tou looked, he saw the Khitans sprinting backwards continuously, and a black wall was vaguely visible.

"Is this? Infantry?"

Li Wei was a little unbelievable.

Faced with a large number of Khitan cavalry, Zhang Weiqing, who was in charge of the center, couldn't help but sneer: "Do you really think I only have three tricks?" Yelu Xiu Ge's words aroused everyone's enthusiasm, and the cavalry prepared again and began to charge.

Li Wei, who was deeply trapped in the cavalry quagmire, noticed the loosening, and the Khitans seemed to be not as crazy as before.

When Niu Tou looked, he saw the Khitans sprinting backwards continuously, and a black wall was vaguely visible.
