The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Qinglong Empire are extremely well-equipped. These heavy cavalry are all equipped with Mingguang armor, and the arrows shot at them cannot cause any damage to them at all.

Those Jin cavalry also soon discovered that the arrows they shot could not cause any effective damage to the enemy, so these Jin cavalry simply put away their bows and arrows, took out their spears and scimitars, and accelerated towards the enemy. past.

In terms of close combat, the cavalry of the Qinglong Empire are naturally not afraid. After all, since the Qinglong Empire had few cavalry troops at the beginning, the cavalry troops established by Ye Tianlong were required to be able to ride and shoot as well as fight in close combat. This tradition has been preserved, and all soldiers who join the cavalry unit will try their best to master these two skills. At this time, these soldiers of the Qinglong Empire saw that the enemy troops were accelerating and were about to rush in front of them, so they also took out long-handled weapons such as horse knives, eyebrow-tip knives, and Fangtian painted halberds.

Li Zhong naturally took out his own spear. His marksmanship had been taught by masters such as Lin Chong and Shi Wengong. It was completely different from Yeluzi's marksmanship before. At this moment, the spear was smashed hard, and the long-handled iron bone smashed by the young general from the Jin Kingdom was knocked away. Then without any pause, the spear was thrust out like a poisonous snake spitting a message, and it hit accurately. Its throat will close at the touch of it.

The young general from the Kingdom of Jin felt the huge bloody hole in his throat that was pierced by the spear, with a look of disbelief in his eyes, but his body was getting worse and worse due to the continuous loss of blood from the wound. He became weaker and weaker, and after running for tens of meters, he fell off his horse with a thud, and was then trampled into a pile of flesh by the cavalry horses from both sides that were galloping back and forth to fight.

Amidst a continuous clash of gold and iron, the soldiers from both sides quickly made a few moves as the horses passed by each other. These Jin light cavalry were obviously not that strong, and their equipment was poor, so this A wave of cavalry charged, only slightly injuring several cavalrymen from the Qinglong Empire and failing to kill anyone on the other side. On the other hand, the cavalrymen from the Jin Kingdom lost fifty or sixty cavalrymen. The cavalry team was visible to the naked eye. It's gotten a lot smaller.

Li Zhong originally thought that after this confrontation, the Jin cavalry would finally be able to recognize the gap between the two sides and give up fighting with them. However, when he pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, he found that the Jin cavalry were actually there. He quickly regrouped and charged towards them again.

"What a group of people who don't care about life and death! Brothers, follow me and completely clean up these golden soldiers!"

Seeing that the enemy dared to continue the attack, Li Zhong roared and quickly divided his cavalry into three teams, each with more than a hundred people. The middle team was responsible for containing the golden soldiers, while the other two teams outflanked them from both wings. If they can successfully complete the outflank, then the Jin cavalry will be completely surrounded by them, and they can be completely annihilated by then.

Those golden soldiers soon discovered the enemy's intentions, and immediately separated into two groups of men and horses, trying to block the two groups of enemy cavalry that were outflanking them.

However, because the gap in strength was too large, the cavalry sent by the two groups were quickly blocked back, and many soldiers and horses were lost.

After the two groups of cavalry escaped and reunited, the number of these golden soldiers was less than a hundred.

But even so, these Jin Army cavalry had no intention of surrendering. Facing the enemy troops approaching from all directions, they still found a correct direction and launched the final charge with all their strength.

After a fierce fighting, these Jin Army cavalry were completely wiped out. However, seven or eight cavalrymen from the Qinglong Empire were seriously injured. This was because Li Zhong, an innate master, was there. After seeing these soldiers, Help in time when in danger, otherwise these soldiers may be completely killed by the crazy counterattack of those golden soldiers before they die.

After personally experiencing the combat effectiveness of these Jin soldiers with strong perseverance and high morale, Li Zhong finally understood why the powerful Daliao Kingdom was destroyed by the Jin Kingdom in just a few years.

Because many soldiers in the team suffered injuries of varying severity, Li Zhong did not continue to investigate outside, but quickly returned to the main force, and reported all the details of his fight with the golden soldiers to Ye Tianlong. .

After listening to Li Zhong's report, Ye Tianlong couldn't help but be glad that he paid attention to these golden soldiers. Otherwise, if he had too few soldiers and horses, he might really be defeated in the face of those fierce golden soldiers.

And just when Ye Tianlong led the army and began to approach Taiyuan City little by little, Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Jin Kingdom quickly deduced that enemy reinforcements should be arriving based on the fact that a scout Qingqi did not return today.

In order to confirm his judgment, Wanyan Aguda quickly dispatched more than 3,000 cavalry, divided into ten teams to investigate in the direction where the missing team of scouts and Qingqi were responsible for investigating today.

After this large area of ​​Jin cavalry was dispersed, the army led by Ye Tianlong had nowhere to hide and was quickly discovered by the Jin people.

Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed, Ye Tianlong no longer hid, and led the army to rush towards the Jin army in a swaggering manner.

Wanyan Aguda also quickly assembled his troops and prepared to fight.

In the siege battles in the previous few days, the Jin Army suffered casualties of more than 40,000 people, so at this time, the Jin Army's strength was only more than 250,000. However, the most elite 5,000 iron pagoda heavy cavalry of the Jin army are still there, and this heavy cavalry unit can be said to be the absolute main force of the Jin army. In Wanyan Aguda's opinion, only these 5,000 iron pagodas are still there. Even if the enemy has millions of troops, he is confident that he can eat up the enemy bit by bit with these Iron Buddha heavy cavalry.

However, after actually seeing the Qinglong Empire's army, Wanyan Aguda was not absolutely sure of winning the battle for the first time.

This is not to blame for Wanyan Aguda's lack of confidence. The soldiers of the Qinglong Empire are really equipped with too luxurious equipment. For example, the cavalry and archers are all wearing thick Mingguang armor. As for the infantry, most of them are equipped with steel plate armor. Among them, those The elite heavy infantry are equipped with special heavy-duty full-body plate armor. The average thickness of the armor reaches five millimeters, and it looks like an iron can. In addition to luxurious equipment, the strength of these heavy infantry has also reached the level of dark warriors, so they can fight wearing such heavy armor.

In addition, the heavy cavalry troops of the Qinglong Empire were also equipped with both men and horses, and their equipment was more luxurious than the Tiefutu heavy cavalry of the Jin Kingdom.

Although he was a little panicked in his heart, Wanyan Aguma didn't show any signs of attack on his face. Instead, he took the initiative to attack the enemy.

Following his order, 10,000 kidnapper cavalry and 20,000 horse archers launched a charge against the Qinglong Empire's army.

The Jin Kingdom's Guaizi Horse is a kind of knight armor, but the war horse does not have armored shock cavalry. Although its combat effectiveness is not as good as the Iron Buddha Heavy Cavalry, its combat power should not be underestimated. After all, the Iron Buddha Heavy Cavalry is the ace unit of the Jin Kingdom. , it is impossible to dispatch frequently. In many previous battles with the Liao Kingdom, it was actually these kidnapper cavalry who were responsible for charging into the battle as the main force.

As for the archers, the composition is even more complicated. There are very few real Jurchens among them, and most of them are actually Xi people, Khitans, Mongols and the like.

The equipment of these horse archers is also very poor. Most of them only have a simple piece of armor, and most of their melee weapons only have a short spear or a scimitar. Perhaps the most valuable equipment is their pair of bows and arrows.

When the Jin people fought against the Liao Kingdom, they liked to send these cannon fodder horse archers forward to shoot arrows at the enemy's formation. Once the enemy's formation showed flaws under the attack of arrows, those horse archers who followed closely The kidnapper cavalry behind them will immediately launch an assault on them, completely overwhelming the enemy's formation.

In the past, the Jin people could be said to have been successful with this trick, and many enemies were defeated by them relying on this set of tactics.

So this time Wanyan Aguda also wanted to use this familiar tactic to test the enemy in front of him.

If the Qinglong Empire's army is only well-equipped, but its combat power is very weak, then he will decisively press the entire army and completely defeat this army.

At that time, he can seize a large number of sophisticated weapons and armor from the enemy. After equipping these weapons and armor, the combat power of the Jin army under his command will at least double.

And just when the two armies outside the city were about to break out into a battle, the garrison generals inside Taiyuan City were arguing about whether they should go out of the city to help in the battle.

These days, Taiyuan City has been resisting the Jin Army's strong attack. Although the city was defended, the casualties were not small. The most important thing is that the defenders need to fight day and night against the attacking Jin Army. At this time, it is very difficult. It's because he's tired and his combat effectiveness has dropped significantly.

Therefore, Hu Sanniang and others felt that they should continue to hold on in the city and not rush out of the city to help in the battle. After all, the Jin soldiers had a lot of cavalry. Once they let these tired soldiers leave the city at this time, they would probably be seized by the Jin army to inflict heavy losses or even heavy losses. Completely annihilated.

A guy like Lu Zhishen who is eager to make meritorious deeds feels that he should immediately go out of the city to help in the battle. His reason is also very simple, that is, he believes that the army led by Ye Tianlong is enough to hold back the Jin army and will not allow the opponent to divide his troops at all. opportunity to attack them. After they leave the city, they can directly insert themselves into the rear of the golden soldiers and attack from both sides with their own main army, so that they can completely defeat these golden soldiers very quickly.

Shi Wengong sat there and listened quietly to the arguments between the two sides before he made his decision.

"This general feels that we should just defend Taiyuan City. After all, after so many days of fierce fighting with the Jin soldiers, the soldiers are indeed very tired. Going out to join the battle at this time is likely to cause heavy casualties!"

When Lu Zhishen heard Shi Wengong's decision, he couldn't help but feel very disappointed. After all, it was too late for him to join the Qinglong Empire. Now even street performers like Li Zhong have climbed over him in terms of positions. Well, if he doesn't seize the time to make more contributions, he may be suppressed by these guys forever.

Seeing the change in Lu Zhishen's face, Shi Wengong could tell at a glance what he was thinking, so he comforted him: "Brother Lu, there will be many places for meritorious service in the future! You don't have to be too anxious, you know, haste makes waste! "

Although he was comforting the other party with his mouth, Shi Wengong was gloating in his heart: If you didn't come earlier, His Majesty would have sent people to invite you more than once, but you just don't like our little Qinglong Empire! I regret it now, it’s too late! Unlike me, I saw the bright future of the Qinglong Empire early on, so the other party sent people to invite them and went there. Now I have become the absolute top of the Qinglong Empire.
