Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 520 The Road to Death
On the vast land to the north of Nanjing City, from a bird's-eye view at this moment, it can be seen that two infantry formations are already standing behind a place full of flames--Liu Tang and Qin Ming.

And between the three infantry arrays is the Khitan cavalry led by Yelu Yujian.

The latter is galloping at full speed, and the direction is very clear, which is northwest.

There is a city called Changping, and not far from Changping is Juyongguan.After passing Juyongguan and heading north, it is beyond the Great Wall in the traditional sense.

Yeluyu saw that he didn't want to die, nor did he want to ruin all the thousands of cavalry in his hands.Now his only way out is Xiang Changping.Because Shunzhou in the northeast is not safe at all now.

Liu Tang's and Qin Ming's step formations have no effect at all, the dikes and dams are only effective when the torrent passes by, no matter how floods are overflowing, the dikes and dams are just a big wall.

They don't move, do they?
Of course, the infantry is not without the slightest movement speed, but their speed is faster than that of the cavalry, that is, snails and rabbits.Simply put, the task of Liu, Tang, Qin and Ming was not to stop the Khitan cavalry, but to force the Khitan cavalry into a predetermined track.Afterwards, the thousand Liangshan iron cavalry led by Yao Zheng would rumble over like a train and teach the Khitan people a painful lesson.

Yeluyu saw that if he couldn't help but want to take revenge, then they welcomed him warmly.The task of Liu Tang and Qin Ming is to take care of Yao Zheng, and even Li Ying.And as long as there is a delay, Hua Rong can lead the main cavalry of the Liangshan Army to deal them a fatal blow.

And Yeluyu saw that if he continued to endure, Yao Zhengbu would hang on to them like tarsal maggots for the next time.It is more than seventy miles from Beijing to Changping, and a hundred miles to Juyongguan.This time is enough for Hua Rong to pursue.

Although Juyongguan is one of the barriers of Nanjing City, it does not mean that there are many soldiers and horses guarding it.As long as Hua Rong leads the main force of the cavalry to catch up with Yelu Yujian in the pass, then there will be a big cavalry duel of Hongguoguo.

In the northeast of Nanjing City, [-] cavalrymen were charging in a hurricane, with two horses and crimson battle flags fluttering in the wind.This is the cavalry of the Liangshan Army, and they can tell each other's identities without even looking at them.

A large cloud of black smoke rose from the distant sky, which was Li Ying's signal.Hua Rong's eyes were full of light, he didn't want to think that after defeating the Liao army in the city of Baozhou, he would still have the opportunity to defeat the Khitan cavalry again, this is really enviable.

Among other things, the extremely hot gaze in veteran Hu Yanzhuo's eyes is enough to explain everything.

Thousands of horses are galloping, and the sound shakes the sky.The dust and smoke rising from the splash of horseshoes covered the sky and the sun.

The black cavalry group rushed all the way, and rushed straight to the place where the smoke column rose.A little bit of time passed, and the hot sun made the green leaves bow their heads.

Yao Zheng, who was hiding behind a village, received an urgent report.

"Report—" A flying horse quickly came to Yao Zheng, "Report to the general, Liao army cavalry was found due to the south, fifteen miles away."

In other words, the goal they were waiting for has arrived.

"Tell the whole army to prepare for war—"

Yao Zheng's eyes were also shining brightly, but it was not because of anything else, only because of Xu Guanzhong's ability.He also knew the geography of the Liao Kingdom in detail, and it was more likely that the Khitan people would not turn around and run back to Nanjing City after they knew something was wrong, but would run all the way to the northwest.Ask Liu, Tang, Qin and Ming to arrange it there, and tell him to lead his troops to stay here, and the Liao army will be forced to die.

Looking at the horse-headed figure galloping away under his command, Yao Zheng had a lot of admiration for Xu Guanzhong in his heart.

The road of fifteen li is not far away from the galloping Khitan cavalry, and they are also equipped with two horses.In less than a quarter of an hour, the sound of horseshoes running like thunder reached Yao Zheng's ears.

Yeluyu saw that he plunged headlong into the ditch, but he didn't realize what was wrong yet.There is only one road from the north of Nanjing to Changping, and the fields have been sown long ago, and in April, it is not a good way.But this does not mean that there are no other roads for the brigade's banner cavalry to reach Changping.Excluding those trails that are not suitable for a large number of horse troops to march, there are many such roads.The Liangshan army taught him to go straight to the main road, so that the Liu Tang and Qin Ming armies cut off the first, the second, and cut off the four, five and six, so he naturally chose the third.

In this way, Yelu Yujian did not expect that he would be ambushed, and he also did not see that behind the village less than a mile away on the left, there would be a thousand Liangshan iron cavalry lined up neatly.

A thousand cavalry were divided into ten teams, and the whole army attacked without leaving behind!

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The cry of killing instantly resounded all over the field.

"What's going on?" Yeluyu, who was desperately running for his life, was shocked when he saw this, and his escape all the way to the northwest became an obsession.As a result, without any warning, I suddenly heard the Han people's shouts of killing, and the sound of horseshoes running like thunder. How could I not make Yeluyu turn pale with fright?

However, time has not allowed him to think about it and study it.Under the sun, the enemies galloping like thunder are rushing, their position is very favorable, like sharp knives, piercing the unsuspecting flanks of the Khitan cavalry.

With such a short distance, it is impossible for the Khitan cavalry to turn around in large numbers, nor can they divert out many cavalry to resist. They are destined to receive a heavy blow.This is cavalry, and when the flanks are exposed, they are more vulnerable than infantry.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack—"

"Quick, turn around and meet the enemy—"

More than 4000 Khitan cavalry have been pulled into a long snake during the long-distance gallop.How can I go in an instant?At best, they turned into a scattered small team of cavalry, so that they could turn around.Just like the legendary thousand-legged snake.

However, the reason why the thousand-legged snake is a snake is because they are combined in one place, and they are insects when they are separated.How can this small group of horse troops defeat the Liangshan army?

The combat effectiveness of cavalry is closely related to their speed.Without enough room for acceleration, the cavalry is like a puppet target on the training ground, vulnerable to a single blow.

And how long does it take for a horse to cover a distance of less than one mile?
Later generations of British thoroughbred horses are the best in the racetrack. Although they are very difficult to handle and durable, they are the fastest in short-distance sprints. It takes just over 1000 seconds for 53 meters, and less than 600 seconds for 94 meters.

The current Liangshan army horses are of course not comparable to the "battlefield waste" that took hundreds of years to cultivate like thoroughbred horses, but even if they are twice as full as thoroughbred horses, it only takes one minute for such a short distance.

And what can 1 minute do to the cavalry group running at high speed?
If they can slow down the horse and turn around, can they still speed up the sprint?

A series of white shadows rushed past quickly, and then the entire Khitan army seemed to be cut ten sections in half, and the whole chaos was in an instant.

The moment the two armies came into contact, the cavalry line that the Khitan army temporarily turned around to intercept was smashed to pieces, like glass being broken by a hammer.

The Liangshan cavalry that poured out like a tidal wave passed by, and hit the Khitan cavalry hard in the middle, and swung their steel knives down, causing a large number of Khitan cavalry to fall to the ground.

After the cavalry charged, it was like a slaughterhouse of flesh and blood. All the corpses of the soldiers and horses were trampled to pieces, making them inhuman.

The brave Khitan cavalry are like helpless lambs at the moment, ready to be slaughtered.A kind of pleasure of killing welled up in Yao Zheng's heart!
The Liangshan cavalry is like an assassin who flees thousands of miles away after a single blow. After slashing the Khitan cavalry with a knife in the middle, they beat their horses and galloped into the distance.They did not take advantage of the current chaos of the Khitan army to continue killing.Instead, within the sight of Yeluyu's naked eyes, he circled a large arc from the side and soared forward.

Seeing that Yeluyu wanted to scold her mother very much.Although Liang Shanjun's actions seemed to give the Khitan army a break, in fact, they all put a heavy burden on their hearts.This damned Liangshan cavalry army has already galloped forward, but they need time to reorganize and rectify the situation.Then naturally it fell behind this cavalry army.So who can guess when they will be ambushed for the second time on the way forward?This kind of psychology will greatly slow down their speed.

Not to mention anyone else, but Yeluyu saw himself, and when he saw the village on the road ahead, why didn't he feel lingering fear?Furthermore, there is a Wenyu River between Nanjing City and Changping.This water originated from the foothills of Jundu Mountain in Changping, but it is not wide.Even some sections of the river can be crossed by a horse, but if the Liangshan bandits take the lead, it will be another difficulty.

If Yelu had just seen it, he would know that he was in big trouble!
"Go!" Roaring like a trapped animal, Yelu Yujian whipped his horsewhip and ran towards Changping again.The matter has come to this point, and there is nothing he can do.I can only bite the bullet and rush down!

Running around like this, Yao Zheng led the cavalry like maggots on tarsal bones, greatly reducing the speed of the Khitan army.Either ambushes, or dig horse pits on the road and sprinkle barbed briers, that would disgust the Khitan army to death.But also in this state, their morale is constantly declining.

When Yelu Yujian finally saw the Wenyu River, the sun had already set in the west, and a ray of setting sun shone on the water, reflecting the river like blood.

The Khitan army was stupefied, they knew that the bloody river might turn red like blood in the near future.

Hua Rong had already chased behind him with six thousand Liangshan cavalry.The voice of the Liangshan army's surrender has been resounding in everyone's ears: "The surrender will not be killed, and the surrender will not be killed!" But Yelu Yu had no intention of dealing with it.

Both armies were rushing all the way, exhausted.But the morale of the two cavalry armies was quite different.One is dull and lifeless, and the other is full of morale.

"Kill--" Xiao Li Guang didn't ask anyone to continue to surrender, but shouted to kill, and in an instant, the cavalry in Liangshan roared: "Wan Victory!" Six thousand horses spread their hooves at the same time, and the earth was shaking. It was a shock at this moment.

Seeing nature, Yeluyu could only muster up his courage to fight back.

But he himself lacked confidence in this battle.He regretted why he fled to the northwest. If he had known this, he might as well have fought to the death under the city of Nanjing.

However, Yelu Yujian finally escaped for a while, and fled to the northeast with more than a thousand remnant horses.Huarong didn't go after him either, because it was already dark.
