Five thousand infantrymen were divided into ten square formations, standing in an orderly manner. Each square formation was divided into five hundred people, but they were divided into spearmen, sword and shield, and crossbowman.

And behind the infantry phalanx, three thousand cavalry stood up.

This is Jianchang.

It is the headquarters of Xue Chong, the Zuo Jinwu Guard.

Since Han Qi arrived in Jianchang and decided on a strategy with Xue Chong, Zuo Jinwu Guard began to retreat in big strides and retreated to the front lines of Jianchang, Jianyuan and Suizhong.

But here, the Tang army must fight a battle, a real battle.

If you continue to retreat and avoid fighting, let alone a veteran on the battlefield like Deng Jingshan and Zhang Zhongwu, even a person with a little experience in the army will notice the problems inside.

How could there be a reason to retreat to the headquarters of the Central Army and not shoot a single arrow?

Not to mention that they were the Tang army, which had been invincible and invincible in the past, even if they were any force, such a thing would not have been allowed to happen.

If it really happens, it only means there is a ghost.

Therefore, Jianchang's battle must be fought, and it was a real and extremely tragic battle.

"Here, we want Deng Jingshan to know that our previous retreat was just to concentrate on living forces to teach him a lesson here, not to be afraid of him." Han Qi smiled and said, "So, in Jianchang, we not only have to beat Deng Jingshan to be sore and afraid, but also let him understand that the Tang army was his nemesis in the past, but now it is his nemesis."

Xue Chong laughed: "Today, let the comforter see the heroic nature of the eight thousand men in our Zuo Jinwu Guard."

"Let's wait and see!" Han Qi smiled and nodded.

The eight thousand people in the city are the essence of the entire Zuo Jinwu Guard, and the courage of the tens of thousands of Zuo Jinwu Guards.

Several miles away from Jianchang City, tens of thousands of Liao troops were also standing solemnly. On a high platform built, Deng Jingshan stared at the outline of Jianchang City opposite.

A few years ago, he was surrounded here, and after consultation with the Tang army, he led his personal guards to escape, but left tens of thousands of subordinate troops guarding the left and right to give them to the Tang army.

This is his lifelong shame.

Today, he is back.

He wanted to use victory to wash away the previous shame.

"The soldiers lined up outside, and the city gate was wide open. Xue Chong was bullying us and couldn't fight us!" Seeing the arrogant hole on the opposite side, Deng Jingshan felt a little angry, but he still laughed and looked back at his left and right. "He retreated all the way here, just to fight with us here. I have been sleeping on firewood and tasting gall for several years, and for today, generals, today, we will first fight to save the shame of the past. I hope you will not let me down and the King of Liao."

"I used to serve as a general. I defeated the Tang army, occupied Jianchang, and captured Xue Chong alive!" On the high platform, more than a dozen senior generals bowed and shouted loudly.

Deng Jingshan waved his hand: "God generals, go and kill the enemy. I will beat the drums and cheer for you!"

The generals got off the platform, turned over and ran towards their subordinates.

On the platform, Deng Jingshan slowly walked to the edge, where there was a big cowhide drum. Around the platform, there was also a big drum with hundreds of bare arms in front of the big men.

Deng Jingshan picked up the drumstick, held it high, and with a thud, it fell heavily.

Hundreds of great men also raised drumsticks, and the sounds of more than a hundred drums made at the same time immediately spread from afar with the sound of the wind.

In Jianchang City, dozens of horn hands held the military horns that were unique to the Tang army, crossed their legs and stood on the battlements, putting one hand on the hips, and holding the military horns with the other hand to their mouths. The red cloth tied to the military horns fluttered in the wind.

The intense military horn suddenly rang out.

Under the city, the infantry phalanx, the spearmen held guns in both hands, raised and fell down. Every time they fell, they were accompanied by a low roar.

Behind them, the sword and shield soldiers stood solemnly, holding a shield in one hand and tying the shield with the other hand. Each time they hit, it was accompanied by a low roar.

The roaring sound was not loud, but the voices of thousands of people gathered together were also thrilling.

Luo Hongxin rode on the war horse and slowly flew over the thousand cavalry he led. He raised the spear from his family in his hand and collided with the spears that were extending diagonally into the air one by one.

Running from one end to the other, then speeding back from the other end, and back to the front of the team, he suddenly raised his horse spear.

"For all nations!"

"Have peace!"

Thousands of knights responded loudly.

Here the roar fell high, and on the other side, the roar of another thousand-man cavalry team also sounded at the same time, and then the third thousand-man cavalry team.

After three shouts, the three cavalry teams, led by their respective generals, slowly moved forward and passed through the infantry phalanx.

On Chengchang City, the sound of the military horn became more and more exciting. When a very high tone fell after several twists, countless drums on the top of the city were ringing.

Luo Hongxin accelerated his horse by destroying the horse and jumped out of the gap between the infantry phalanx.

"For all nations!"

"Have peace!"

This time, not only his cavalry, but also all the infantry phalanxes, also made the same roar.

Three thousand cavalrymen rode out and rushed to the opposite side. On the opposite side, the Liao army's cavalry was also rushing towards the tide.

Behind the cavalry, five thousand left Jinwu Guard infantry followed closely behind the cavalry and stepped forward steadily. The crossbowmen in their team raised their arms and opened their crossbows and pointed at the air obliquely.

With the sound of collapse, thousands of crossbow arrows flew into the air, crossed the charge of the Zuo Jinwu Guard cavalry, flew to the high altitude, then turned back down, and shot towards the rushing Liao cavalry.

The Tang army's infantry and cavalry fought together.

The infantry will never wait for the cavalry's rushing battle to have any result before going to fight. They followed the cavalry closely. When the Tang cavalry emerged through the formation, the opponent cavalry that rushed towards them would fall into the array of the Tang infantry.

These scattered military formations are traps to hunt enemy cavalry one by one.

This kind of coordinated combat requires the infantry to have extremely strict discipline requirements. Because the cavalry on both sides are still extremely fast after fighting, the infantry needs to use flesh and blood to meet the impact of the opponent's cavalry, and the casualties that the square formation that was pressed in the front are self-evident.

This is to use the huge casualties of a square array to exchange for the advantage of the entire battlefield form.

Once the enemy's cavalry falls into this trap, there is almost no possibility of getting out. The staggered infantry phalanx will form a completely convenient killing of the cavalry, while the cavalry will turn around and launch a fatal blow from behind the enemy's cavalry.

There are two ways to break this tactic. One is that the cavalry is extremely sharp and can ignore the enemy's infantry phalanx and kill the infantry phalanx again and come out. The other is to adopt the same tactic and entangle the Tang army's cavalry with infantry.

Deng Jingshan could only hope that his cavalry could kill the infantry formation of the Tang army. He knew very well that if he adopted the same tactics as the Tang army, he would definitely not achieve the effect he wanted. Because most of the Liao army were not full-time soldiers like the Tang army.

The soldiers of the Tang army were completely proprietorous, and their daily work was to train and train.

And this requires a lot of money.

The Liao army could not compare with the Tang army's economy. Such expenses were enough to drag down the Liao people's economy. Except for the direct troops, most of them still adopted the government army system.

The second is the equipment of the soldiers. The infantry of the Tang army was covered in armor, and in this regard, the Liao people were even less than that. The steel consumed to make a piece of armor was enough for them to create more than a dozen swords and dozens of spearheads. There was only one way to expect the Liao army infantry with simple armor to resist the charge of the Tang army cavalry, which was to exchange a large number of lives.

Of course Deng Jingshan didn't want to.

But Deng Jingshan is not without advantages. He has more cavalry and will have stronger impact. At this time, under Jianchang City, his troops also have an advantage. According to his estimate, there will be no more than 20,000 Tang troops in Jianchang City today, because in Jianyuan and Suizhong, there is clear information that some of the main forces of the Tang army are stationed there.

The head coaches on both sides have their own plans. Of course, when it comes to implementation, it depends on the performance of the generals and all the soldiers.

When the two armies meet on a narrow road, the brave will win.

The cavalry collided with each other, and three thousand Tang cavalrymen collided head-on by five thousand Liao cavalrymen. Three black arrows rushed into the red ocean.

Luo Hongxin pursed his lips, leaned forward slightly, and leaned forward from his home-born horse spear in his hand. When he felt a little pressure on his arm, he shouted loudly. The horse spear rod suddenly bent out of a curve. In front of the spear, a Liao cavalry was penetrated. As the spear rod straightened, the man also landed in the group of horses.

Thousands of cavalry fight, and every time they fight, someone will be dismissed.

It sounds long, but on the real battlefield, the two armies intersected and happened in just a few moments, and the cavalry leading the two sides had already emerged from the formation.

In front of the Tang army was a large area of ​​open space, and the Liao army's infantry was still beating drums and cheering in the distance. Luo Hongxin continued to move forward. After running for a distance, he pulled his horse to the left, ran around in a circle and ran back.

He saw the butts of the Liao cavalry.

When the Liao army's cavalry vanguards emerged, less than a hundred steps away from them were the erect Tang army infantry formations.

The first thing welcoming them was the baptism of crossbowmen. Countless crossbow arrows shot out flat. The rushing war horses overturned countless. The Liao cavalry accelerated their advance under the rain of arrows.

The spearmen shouted loudly, poked the long tail of the spear to the ground, held both hands in the front of the spear, lifted the spear diagonally, and then they left it to fate.

The war horses rushed up.

The gun is broken, the man flew, the horse is falling, and the knight is falling.

The frontal infantry formation collapsed in an instant.

But the sword and shield hands and crossbowmen who followed the spearmen took advantage of this little time and roared, and had already killed them with a sword.

The knife rises and the hooves break.

Shield dance, legs folded.
