Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 518 Baits, lures and anglers

Everything went as planned, whether it was the Liangshan army or the Liao army, they were proceeding according to the day's plan like a wooden man.So when that day came, there was no surprise or anxiety on either side.

The Liao army was furious and eager to fight; the Liangshan army had no intentions, and was delighted to hear the battle.

They rushed into the Liao territory with great fanfare, and it seemed that the results were not small, but in fact the main force was powerful and had nowhere to use it.That Zhuozhou is okay, at least it has been fought a few times, but what about the one under the city of Nanjing?The Liao army was devoted to defending the city, even though they yelled and scolded outside, they had no intention of fighting.Calling them heroes in this way is useless.

Both sides intend to fight.When they met more than ten miles north of the city, no one felt that something was wrong, and neither of the two armies panicked.

Smoke and dust covered the sun in the sky, thousands of horses galloped, and a tidal wave of cavalry troops rolled in wildly amidst the deafening sound of horse hooves.

There was no need for the scouts to report, the smoke and dust in the sky in the direct direction had already made Liang Shanjun aware.

"Pass down the order, defend the enemy on the spot, and prepare for the battle!" Li Ying shouted.

The rapid copper whistle sounded quickly, and the Liangshan army, which was like a long dragon, quickly broke into three sections, and then the soldiers took their respective battalion flags as the guideline, and the three battalion flags, more than a thousand soldiers and infantry quickly gathered Three battalion-level infantry phalanxes.

Everyone is facing a big enemy, because they are about to collide with a large group of cavalry coming at a high speed on the flat and endless field.Even if the Liangshan army rejoiced in the war, no one dared to be negligent.That's a joke with your own life.

Fortunately, during the drills of the new barracks and the daily force, they often practice the emergency response to the cavalry raid on the plain, and combine with the small group nearby after being dispersed by the cavalry group.

While comforting the restless war horse, Li Ying opened his eyes wide, his face full of surprise.The cavalry of the Liao army came very quickly, two days earlier than he expected.But that's also good, to save him from doing that robbery again.

He won't run away, and he doesn't have any fear in his mind!Even if he has only three battalions of infantry!
He shouted loudly and ordered his soldiers to quickly form a defensive array in units of battalions.A cart frame was also used by him, that is, the horses pulling the cart and the looted cattle and horses were also tightly imprisoned behind the three infantry by a wave of cavalry for other purposes.

At the same time, Li Ying sent out a signal to notify Liu Tang not far away, telling him to get ready too.

The number of people who went out to plunder is close to [-] cavalry by now, and the generals who lead the army have also changed from Liu and Li to Qin and Ming, with Liu Tang and Li Ying as assistants, and Yao politics.It's just that at the moment, Yao Zheng leads two battalions of cavalry and is still "scattering and looting".Qin Ming also led troops "outside"!
Eight thousand cavalry seem to have a large force, but they are 'divided', so they seem vulnerable.

The leader of the Khitan cavalry was none other than Yelu Yujian, the [-] Khitan cavalry could be said to be the only organized cavalry in Nanjing.Although most of them are new troops, but at this moment, Yelu is absolutely full of confidence.

It doesn't make sense that five thousand iron cavalry can't win against eight thousand "divided" Liangshan Army cavalry.Yelu Yujian didn't want to slander the latter's combat effectiveness, but the superiority between the enemy and the enemy is beyond doubt.

Li Ying's general flag stood at the front of the three infantry arrays.As an old man from the Liangshanbo era, Li Ying had been taking refuge with Lu Qian for a long time, and his martial arts skills were also very strong, but he just couldn't get ahead.

Such high-profile positions are always rare. Taking the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion as an example, there are only fifteen seats in total.Li Yingluo became a general under the rule of the Chinese Army's Governor's Mansion, and he was far behind Qin Ming and Hua Rong, so no one else was to blame.

Judging by the enthusiasm of Hu Yanzhuo, it is obvious that after this battle, he can go to a higher level.It is said that he has already been designated as the ambassador of Hebei Province, and as long as he can smoothly wipe out the remnant soldiers and bandits in Hebei, it will obviously be a matter of course for him to change from ambassador of thieves to chief of the garrison.Li Yingtao, however, was always the same as the abacus beads, he had to use his strength to dial them before they would return, so it would be strange if he could become famous.

This time Lu Qian also intended to flatter him.Xiong Shanjun and Han Bolong had already fought hard and were injured on the battlefield. Li Ying, who was also a general, might have also contributed a lot in that battle, but he was obviously not more "dazzling" than Han Bolong who was unscathed.

But Liu Tang has been 'silent' for too long.It was also taken out by Lu Qian to claim credit.

Although there are certain risks in doing the bait this time, as long as you don't be negligent, in Lu Qian's view, the credit is solid.

At this moment, a black line appeared in front of him, and the sound of horseshoes rolled like thunder, and the ground trembled.The Liao army came, and the battle flags of the generals gradually became clear.

Li Ying's army has formed a "Yipin" formation, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road. Li Ying's flag stands firmly at the forefront, and his actions inspire the morale of the whole army.

Fighting in battle, if you want to stand out, you must be ruthless.Be ruthless to your enemies and be ruthless to yourself.

Li Ying's current motivation is much stronger than before. This is not only because the strength of the Liangshan Army is getting stronger and stronger, and the sweeping momentum has made people have unlimited expectations, but also because the merits given by Lu Qian are really fascinating.

Compared with the rewards given by Zhao Da and Zhao Er to the founding heroes of Zhao Song, this kind of real-name title is even more fascinating.

Don't think about yourself, but also think about future generations, right?This is hereditary replacement!As long as you don't kill yourself, you will share weal and woe with the Lu family and the country.

No one can resist this temptation!

The sound of horseshoes shook the sky, and the densely packed formation of cavalry was like a mighty black tide, covering the field of vision of the soldiers of the Liangshan Army.

In a trance, all the sounds in the world disappeared, leaving only one note - the sound of horseshoes.

At this time, the Liangshan army had already lined up the front shield wall in front of the formation.There are many spears and spears protruding from the upper and side gaps of the shield, like hedgehogs.One by one, tall sergeants in heavy armor leaned tightly on their shields and clenched their spears obliquely.Only then did they know why they were all asked to wear heavy armor when they were out to plunder.

Three battalions of infantry, 500 people, many of them are smart people, how can they not know that they are the bait at this moment.But they didn't mean to be afraid of the enemy and fight cowardly.

They are the main army of the Chinese military governor's mansion, and they are the most brave and skilled army in Shandong. Many of them have experienced the test of the battle with the Western army. Except for the guards, they dare to say that they are the best in the world. infantry.

Facing the Khitan army now, this is not a battle that must be defeated, but a battlefield that demonstrates their bravery and strength!

The money and food are plentiful, so there is no worries about the future; the training is rigorous, the training is long and well-rounded; the fighting spirit is high and the morale is full.Such a Liangshan Army can be regarded as a powerful force in history.

Not to mention that they are facing the Khitan people today, the Khitan people who have dominated the Central Plains since the Song Dynasty, and they are also the downcasts who have been pierced by them in the first battle of Baozhou.

Many soldiers of the Liangshan Army knew a truth, the Khitan at this time was no longer the Khitan of that day.They are the setting sun when the river is going down, and they are the rising sun like the rising sun.Therefore, in the first battle of Baozhou, the coalition forces used more to bully the less, and it was a matter of course to win.

Lu Qian asked people to make such a publicity to dispel the psychological pressure of the soldiers, and at the same time to suppress the pride that breeds in the army.The reaction I got was that many sergeants were dissatisfied, thinking that even facing the elite Khitan soldiers in their heyday, they could still win the battle.

Therefore, facing the swarming Khitan cavalry, although Li Ying's troops were sparse, they were full of fighting spirit.

After all, is this a trap?Since I am the bait, the fisherman will be behind.

However, the Khitan people are equally high-spirited and full of fighting spirit. They don't think about any rationale. They only know that the Central Plains army is hateful. They only know that they want to defeat the enemy in front of them and win the final victory.

Li Ying stood under the flag, staring closely at the approaching Khitan cavalry group ahead.

After putting down the binoculars for a while, I breathed a sigh of relief.He didn't see Khitan's armored heavy cavalry, which is undoubtedly good news for the Liangshan army.

Perhaps, the descendants of the Tielin army had already disappeared in the Khitan army, or maybe they were left behind by the guard Dagang.

Regardless, this is great news.

The enemy on the opposite side didn't slow down at all, let alone have the slightest intention to stop.The sound of the Khitan horses' hooves became more rapid.

They accelerated without any buffer. The moment they saw the Liangshan Army, they let go of the reins, clamped their legs tightly around the horse's belly, and let the horse gallop in the shortest possible time.

Obviously, what followed was a wave of violent shock.The cavalry of the Liao army will not slowly consume the physical strength and energy of the Liangshan army like the old days when the cavalry fought on foot. They are like cats playing with mice, or like maggots on the tarsus bones. , with a quick blow, broke the battle formation of the infantry, and then calmly reaped the lives of the infantry in the chaotic army.

Now they don't have that much time, all they have is a full blow.Fight more and fight less, and eat the scattered Liangshan army at the fastest speed.

This was an attack that had been planned for a long time, and there would be no scenes, nor would it give the enemy any chance to breathe. Their purpose was to completely wipe out this large Liangshan army.

The galloping horses made the ground shake.The thunderous sound of horseshoes seemed to be beating people's hearts one after another, making them breathless.

Those who haven't seen this scene with their own eyes can't imagine the frightening aura of the cavalry army charging.

They are like floods that have burst their banks, rushing forward.Mighty and unstoppable!

"put--"

In the Liangshan army, the sound of the string vibration after the machine spring was hooked first sounded. This is the divine arm bow.

A crossbow shot straight out easily saw through the defense of the Liao army, leaving the first wave of blood on the battlefield.

"Zhang Gong——" the power of the God Arm Bow is impressive, but the speed of fire is its fatal flaw, so the Strong Bow is its good partner.Light arrows first, because they shoot far.

But the cavalry had to continue to endure, because the cavalry bows of the Liao army were obviously not as strong as the infantry bows of the Liangshan army, and had a longer range.

Until the distance between each other has been shortened to within a hundred steps, the most visually impactful scene on the battlefield appeared.

As the bowstrings buzzed together, black arrows rose from the two arrays into the sky, crossed the sky, mixed with scalp-numbing swishing sounds, and a little collision sound, and fell into the two armies. In the formation.

The rain of arrows shot by the Liao army seemed to be a dark cloud, compared to the Liangshan army's counterattack, they were far inferior to their opponents in terms of rate of fire and density.

For a moment, countless people screamed and fell to the ground, cavalrymen screamed, and war horses wailed.Either the rider fell off the horse's back, or the injured horse threw the knight on his back in a frenzy, or even both the horse and the horse fell to the ground. All the consequences were trampled and bloody.

Blood flowed profusely at this moment.It didn't stop until the end of the war.
