Chapter 363 Contest

Soon after Heshi Liehuanduan entered the hilly area, he was raided by the Mongolian army.

Since he led the troops out of the city, he had already made full preparations as a bait, and ordered his subordinates to maintain a tight formation along the way, ready for possible attacks at any time.

But the Mongols came too early and too hard.Qingqi, who was in charge of sentrying around, was swallowed up by wolves in an instant.Only a few cavalry rushed back to warn, while the front team of the Mongolian army arrived almost at the same time as them.

Heshi Liehuanduan immediately ordered his cavalry general Jiagu Heda to lead the elite knights to meet the enemy, but under the fierce Mongol attack, the hundred cavalrymen Jiagu Hedan disappeared in the blink of an eye, completely unable to hinder them.

After all, the Mongols are a nation on horseback. They grew up on the grasslands, learned to ride horses before they could walk, and began to practice bowing and archery as soon as their hands were strong.They graze, act, and live on horseback, and when they ride on horseback, they are exactly the same as war horses.When they run between the rolling hills and valleys with a scale of thousands of horses, they are like a tide pouring down, agile, fierce and pervasive.

At this time, the soldiers and horses at Heshi Liehuan's end were marching against the flat land between the Mazong River and the loess Mangang in the west. The front army had just made a bend in the direction of the hill, and the Mongolian army was like a whirlwind. Then cut into the queue at the front.

Wherever the cavalry went, there was a sound of screams and clanking of iron objects.Then another cavalry rushed out from Heizuigou, which was due west, and cut the central army and the rear army into two sections.

Teams of Mongolian cavalry roared wildly, rushed forward, and rained arrows along the way. Before hundreds of cavalry entered the battle, the forward cavalry had already passed through the formation of the Fuzhou Army, leaving dead bodies and corpses all over the ground behind them. Trampled by war horses until their guts were pierced, the wounded were still howling and moaning.

The cavalry circled on the open beach of the Mamane River, and the black men and horses stirred up silvery white water.

When they attacked again, they no longer stepped into the formation, but took a sideways galloping posture, repeatedly throwing arrows into the chaotic formation.At this time, the rear of the Fuzhou Army had disintegrated into countless fragmented pieces, and there was no formation at all.

Anyone who tried to form an formation was scattered by the repeated impact of the Mongols.The Fuzhou soldiers could only fight on their own in the chaos of flying horseshoes, being shot down by arrows or chopped down by machetes, and fell on the wet land beside the Mamane River.

"Guiren City!" Heshi Liehuan grimaced, and squeezed out a voice through his teeth: "The Mongols came from Guiren City! They have always been there! No wonder! No wonder!"

Guiren County was named Anzhou in the Liao Dynasty, but after the rise of Dajin, it was changed to Guiren County under Xianping Prefecture.But in the past few years, the population has been scattered, and the city of Quiren is empty and deserted.Last year and the year before, the Hongshan River to the north of the city and the Erdao River to the south flooded simultaneously, turning tens of miles around the city into swamps.

This Mongolian army was hiding in the city of Quiren, and it was just right to avoid multiple investigations.And they relied on the advantages of cavalry to come and go. Once they found that the Fuzhou army had left the city, the Mongolian cavalry drove twenty miles away and immediately launched an interception in Huanglonggang!
Heshi Liehuan understood the Mongols' arrangement, but it did not help the battle situation.

None of his front and rear troops could withstand the repeated strangling of the cavalry, and the newly promoted officers in the team had no experience in controlling the army in adversity.As for those captives who got together temporarily...

Heshi Liehuan is very careful about employing people.His front and rear troops lacked experienced officers, so they used local soldiers from Fuzhou.However, there were dozens of Fuzhou officers in the Chinese army to suppress them, so there were more prisoners temporarily filled into the army.

As a result, under Heshi Liehuanduan's eyes, dozens of prisoners who had temporarily signed up to the army uttered horrified shouts, threw down their weapons recklessly, left their companions, and fled towards the Mazong River on the east side.

When infantry and cavalry were fighting, the infantry lost their will to fight and began to flee for their lives. This was the carnival moment for the cavalry.In the eyes of the cavalry, the fleeing infantry who turned their backs were no different from animals being driven, and could be easily slaughtered.

When these captives were stepping on the river bank, a group of Mongolian cavalry caught up with ease and stabbed them to death one by one with their spears. Their bodies lay horizontally in the water, turning the river water that had passed through into red.

"Idiot! Death is not a pity!"

Heshi Liehuan, who was in the middle army formation, roared loudly.

These dozens of people fled suddenly, causing a tiny gap in the original complete Chinese army formation... This gap was fleeting, but the Mongols seized the opportunity and rushed in!

All of a sudden, the Chinese army was in chaos. Dozens of Mongolian cavalry rushed between the guards of the Chinese army, making terrible roars and slashing wildly with their knives.

Qianhu Wendihan, who was in charge of maintaining the defense line, was anxious to drive away Ge Nian, and called the archers to shoot again and again.But at this moment, the people and horses were intertwined, and the arrows passed by, not killing a few Mongols, but killing several of their own soldiers.

An arrow came from nowhere, and brushed He Shi Liehuan Duan's face, bringing up a stream of blood foam.Heshi Liehuan opened his mouth to curse, but he heard a muffled groan behind him, it turned out that the arrow flew backwards and hit the soldier in charge of beating the drum.

The soldier was hit by an arrow in his back and fell to the sky. As soon as the beating of the drums stopped, the Fuzhou troops all over the place knew that the Chinese army had been broken, and became more and more frightened.

Heshi Liehuan was in a hurry, so he ran to pick up the drumsticks and beat them rumblingly.And the moment he turned around, a Mongolian knight charged diagonally and slashed with a knife!

It was too late, but soon, a Jue stepped forward from the side, crossed the spear shaft, and tried to block the blade.But the Mongolian knight was extremely majestic and powerful, and he also used a heavy long-handled sword.With one slash, the spear shaft was split open immediately, and the blade pierced through Jue Cong's shoulder blade, cutting off several ribs in one breath, until it reached between the chest and abdomen.

When the Mongol pulled out his sword vigorously, Jue Cong's viscera, liver, and gallbladder gushed out from the huge wound, and the blood even sprayed out in an arc into the air, and fell like raindrops on the leather drum and horn mounted on the cart. It fell on Heshi Liehuanduan.

Heshi Liehuan was furious, and rushed over from the cart, hugged the Mongolian knight's body, and dragged him off the horse.The two rolled on the ground a few times, punched and beat each other a few times, and each reached their waists to draw their knives.

And another Jue Cong took advantage of this opportunity to rush forward, put his arms around the Mongol's neck, pressed his short knife against the Mongol's jaw, stabbed in and stirred again and again.Blood flowed down the dagger, soaking his white military uniform, and the Mongol's struggle gradually slowed down.

Na Jue was delighted in his heart, and as soon as he relaxed a little, the Mongolian pulled up his last bit of strength, opened his mouth and bit his ear, twisted his neck, and tore his ear off.

Jue Cong roared loudly and rolled to the ground.When more than a dozen people around him came down with swords and guns and killed the Mongol thoroughly, the rest of the Mongolian cavalry had pierced through the other side of the Chinese army and rushed out.

Heshi Liehuan stood up from the pool of blood and looked around. He saw that the ranks of soldiers were crumbling like embankments hit by a flood. Many people found that the situation was irreversible, and they showed despairing expressions.

"Hold on! Hold on!" He Shi Liehuan shouted.

But Wen Dihan was afraid that the elder brother would run back from the front, and said sharply: "Dutong, let's go south!"

Heshi Liehuan grabbed Wen Dihan's military uniform, pulled him to his eyes, and cursed, "You almost shot me to death with that arrow just now!"

Overthrowing Wendihan's fearful chariot with one hand, Heshi Liehuan shouted at the other soldiers: "If you go away, you will be scattered, and if you are scattered, you will die! Hold on! Hold up your shield! Shoot arrows out! Hold on! coming!"

He had already yelled with all his strength, but the roar of a person was almost ridiculously faint amidst the sound of hooves roaring like waves.As for his archers, most of them were the subordinates that Pu Xian pressed out before, and their reactions were a little slower.

The Mongols rallied a larger cavalry team at lightning speed, like two huge sharp knives coming from the left and right, cutting towards the center of the Gai.

The power of the large group of cavalry closing inward is beyond ordinary people's imagination.Before the cavalry could attack, another round of arrows rained down.

Wendihan was holding a wooden shield in his hand, but an arrow shot through the sole of his exposed foot, and it pierced through immediately.The severe pain caused Wendihan to groan, and the shield in his hand fell slightly, and another arrow passed the upper edge of the shield, hitting his left eye socket, and the sharp arrows pierced through the back of his head.

Wen Dihan was afraid that his brother would be killed immediately.

Heshi Liehuan cursed again and again, but could only curl up under the cover of the two sword and shield fighters, not daring to show his head.

His vision leaked through the gap under the shield, and he could only see the iron hooves on the ground, and the queue changed from loose to tight, constantly approaching.

He held his breath, ready to jump up and fight to the death.

At this moment, another stream of iron poured like a mountain torrent from a thousand-foot high mountain, penetrating into the ranks of Mongolian cavalry.

People, horses, weapons, and armor collided violently, making a huge roar.Amidst the roar, He Shi Liehuan sat down on the ground: "It's coming, it's finally coming."

　This battlefield is on the west side of Mazhonghe Railway Station in Changtu County.The Mongols appeared from Heizuigou in the west, and the Ding navy entered the battlefield from Yakouzi in the south.
