choke element

Chapter 369

What Pu Suliemeng said was right, the Khitan army's main camp was in front of the slope.

Yeluliuge originally besieged Pushan Wannu with the five generals Yelusibu, Posha, Yelude, Li Jianu, and Yelu Xueyu, and led Yelu Tonggu, Yelu Dula, Zhubo and other generals to fight against the elite in the north. Go to Beijing for soldiers and horses.

The Khitan Army who followed him to Xianping Mansion rose up from the rebellion and moved to the Northeast inland for two years. There are many experienced veterans and sufficient troops.Therefore, it is still possible to fight against the two armies at the same time before.

Yelusi forced Puxian Wannu's troops to the last terrace.

Just a moment ago, Li Jianu personally led dozens of soldiers to the platform, beheaded the enemy general Du Mahun, and almost had a face-to-face meeting with Puxian Wannu himself.Unexpectedly, Puxian Wannu was so quick-witted that he threw the golden pearls that were carried by the army and used to buy the soldiers and horses in the capital to the bottom of the platform. Do not retreat down the mountain.However, at most another quarter or two, the winner of this battlefield will be decided.

And in the place where they fought with the soldiers and horses of Shangjing in the north, they were also inextricably killed.

Occasionally, the soldiers and horses showed a frustrating posture, and generals such as Tonggu and Dushi would lead their own soldiers into the battle to fight against the enemy generals.The military law was implemented later, and several low-level officers who were disadvantaged in combat were killed in a row to boost morale and maintain the situation.The cavalry on Shangjing Road rushed forward again and again, but failed to get through the two key passes.

But Brother Yeluliu didn't feel happy at all, and he didn't have the slightest sense of joy about victory, because new enemies appeared in the south of his formation.

On the banks of the Mazong River, an iron cavalry, like a black dragon wrapped in the turbid waves, rushed forward. Wherever it went, the Mongolian army retreated one after another.The number of those iron cavalry was actually not that many, but their bravery in a desperate battle was not inferior to any army and horse that Yeluliuge had seen in his life.

Every time they charge and kill, the sound of fighting is loud and loud.Yeluliu looked through the trees and saw that the Mongols tried four or five times in a row to stabilize their position, but failed every time, and were forced back by the group of iron-clad beasts every time.

At this moment, the Mongols were even a little flustered. Even though Ke Tege and Hundugu two Qianhu Nayan tried their best to urge the battle, the momentum of retreat became more and more obvious, and they couldn't stand it.

Seeing countless knights galloping their horses back and forth between the narrow river valleys, there was an endless stream of people falling off their horses.

But the black wave formed by the gathering of people and horses continued to advance northward, and the sounds of the collision of weapons, the sound of killing, and the sound of horses colliding and neighing were getting closer and closer, and even passed through the forests in the mountains to other battlefields in the north. went!
How can it be?That's a Mongol!There are actually strong soldiers in this world that the Mongols can't stop?

From the eyes of Brother Yeluliu, it is natural to see that it is because the Mongolian army is forced to be in a cramped environment where its own tactics are difficult to use, so it is particularly disadvantaged.

But even if the environment suffers, the fierceness and tenacity of the Mongols can't be fake, right?
Brother Yeluliu had been to the grasslands, and he always believed that the natural conditions on the grasslands were as bad as those between the white mountains and the black waters.Those Mongols survived and grew up under unimaginably harsh conditions, and their physique and will have been tempered, just like the thriving Jurchens back then.

Such tough and hard-working Mongols, under the iron-like military law, were able to run across the grassland for thousands of miles, beating the shit out of Xia and Jin!In the past two years, the four thousand households of the Mongolian Army who were deeply relied on by Brother Yeluliu did repay Brother Yeluliu. They fought and fought in the northeast, and they were invincible!
But now, what's going on?The Mongols were actually repelled head-on, and they were about to be defeated?
This is so humane!
What's even more frightening is that if the Mongols retreat again, they will retreat to the main line of the Khitan army!
If the Mongols couldn't resist it, how could the Khitans rely on it?
How is this fight going?
It's ridiculous, it turns out that the fourth prince Tuo Lei suffered a big loss in Ding Haijun's hands before, it's true!This navy can really take advantage of the frontal confrontation with the Mongols!

Judging from their tactics, it looks like the cavalry cavalry in the heyday of the Kingdom of Jin made a series of assaults. Their tactics are extremely proficient and their equipment is frighteningly well equipped. Who would have thought that Guo Ning, the envoy of the Navy, was actually a man?
Yeluliu let out a long sigh.

Sighing, he said in a deep voice: "Decree that Yelv Xueja and Yelv Dusha withdraw their troops and set up formations along the banks of the Mazong River, just in case."

Yelu Xueja is the eldest son of Yeluliuge, and his soldiers and horses are known as elites.And the Khitan army's siege of Puxian Wannu has come to the last juncture, with or without this army, they are sure to win.

Brother Yeluliu recalled him, although he weakened the troops there, he did not show any kindness to the leader of the Khitan army on the other side of the mountain, Brother Liu's younger brother Yelusi, it seemed that he had no intention of sending his eldest son to take credit.

As for Yelu Dula, he was the elder brother of Yelu Liuge, who had a high prestige in the army.Yelv Xueja himself was young, and most of his military power was controlled by his subordinate generals.Yelu alone had to be on the scene to lead the various ministries and fight the enemy.

The cavalry was ordered to hold the talisman and the flag, and galloped away.

Brother Yeluliu continued to stare at the battle situation by the Mazong River, and felt that the Mongols seemed to have stabilized a bit. As long as more than [-] Khitan elites from their own side were thrown into the battlefield, the situation in the south would not collapse.

As long as Puxian Wannu is killed, another 5000 people will be able to free up their hands, and then they will withdraw their troops while it is dark, and this battle will not be regarded as a loss.

Thinking of this, he parted the trees with his hands, walked a few steps towards the Mazong River, and took a closer look.

As far as Brother Yeluliu could see, Han Xuan led the iron cavalry and charged eight miles in a row, repelling seven counterattacks organized by the Mongols.Along the Mazong River, the corpses of Mongolian knights were scattered all over the ground.

Tie Futu's ferocity and terrifying lethality were undoubtedly displayed under his command. I am afraid that the sudden killing of iron cavalry when the Jurchens were booming back then was no more powerful than this.

But the limitations of the iron floating map are also slowly revealed.

In summer and autumn, the weather is hot, and the knights wear heavy armor and gallop repeatedly, exhausting their energy and physical strength.

With the majesty of the military order, Han Xuan squeezed and squeezed out all the spirits of the soldiers, so with less troops, he almost launched the hearty storm outside Haicang Town that day.

But even he himself, after rushing several times, his hands were too heavy to hold a knife or gun.His lower back was so sore that it was about to twitch, and the hot sweat from all over his body flowed like a waterfall. The sweat was poured into his boots, and he felt so heavy that he couldn't lift his legs.

He tried his best to keep his spirits up, and kept yelling in a hoarse voice to remind his companions, because if he slackened on the battlefield, the result would be death.

However, people can force themselves to cheer up, but horses cannot.

The iron floating map cavalry used specially selected good horses, but these war horses were exhausted.On the other hand, the beach of the Mazong River is a terrain where mud flats and gravel beaches intersect. During the serial assault of the cavalry, at least [-] or [-] horses fell to the ground on the beach. There will be more.

During the last fight, Han Xuan's own horse also fell to the ground. He was caught off guard and rolled off the horse on the spot. He was almost trampled into flesh by countless iron hooves.It was only after the followers frantically fought for the front that they rescued him, but out of the thirty or so riders who rushed to the front, less than twenty of them made it back, and all of them died.

At this moment, a lieutenant rode over and said: "General, although the Mongols are not defeated, they have been sticking to us. I am afraid they plan to fight back when we are tired! Otherwise, let's retreat first and let Zhang Qian and others come up later. ?”

Han Xuan was furious, and pointed his knife at the general: "Jie Shuai just said that once the cavalry moves, even mountains of swords and seas of fire will be leveled! Does Jie Shuai have any new orders now?"

"No."

"Since that's the case, let's continue to charge!" Han Xuan threw down his visor and said loudly, "This time I will take the lead in charging!"

The drums were rumbling, the armored cavalry were excited, everyone shouted loudly, and followed the master to gallop again.

Tie Futu's charge was as powerful as before.

But in the eyes of experienced veterans, those slight differences can be discerned.

Brother Yeluliu saw the sluggishness of the horse's acceleration, he breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed: "This is what Han'er said, it's the end of the crossbow. It's okay, it's okay, the whole navy is all human after all. , not ghosts. Now we are stable!"

Beside him, several Khitan military academies all laughed.

At this moment, a horse from outside the central army came galloping, and without hesitation to dismount, he kept shouting: "King Liao! Marshal Posha's troops were suddenly attacked by enemy horses!"

"Posha? Isn't he besieging Puxian Wannu?"

"Because of General Yeluxuejia's dispatch, Marshal Pasha is adjusting the garrison of soldiers and horses to prevent that Pushan Wannu from escaping in the chaos. Unexpectedly, in a ravine with lush forests in the rear, suddenly came out." Hundreds of Qingqi, launch a fierce attack!"

"Hundreds of light cavalry? Where is the person coming? Who is the name of the enemy general?"

"That cavalry team is flying a red flag with no words on it. Listening to the noise of the enemy soldiers, they claim to be Dinghai Guo Jiedu!"

"Guo Ning?!"

Yeluliu turned around in shock.He was originally holding a branch in his hand for strength, but now he let go suddenly, the flexible branch bounced across his face, and immediately cut a red mark.

Brother Yeluliu touched his face, took two steps back and forth, immediately guessed Guo Ning's intention, and sneered again and again:
"I've heard long ago that Guo Ning, who is in the navy, is used to relying on his own bravery to charge into battle. Is this trying to take advantage of our army to disperse, use light cavalry to go deep into the weak inner line, and disrupt it? This guy is also a veteran of using cavalry. But our army is divided into three and four routes, and each route has no less than four or five thousand elite soldiers! He must have thought too well! The Mongols can withstand the iron floating map of the Ding Navy, and even if we Khitans are not as powerful as the Mongols, It's not like being ridden lightly..."

Just at this point, another gallop came.

The knight rolled off the saddle a few feet away, staggered and fell in front of Brother Yeluliu, and said in a panic, "I report to King Liao that Guo Ning has killed Marshal Posha by riding into battle!"
