Chapter 224: Battle Vanguard Against Cavalry!,, Monthly Pass]
, This son-in-law is very stable
As the flag was waving, the Yang family was at the north side, where the soldiers in Crescent Island were responsible for it. They saw them piercing their spears into the holes above the shield, and splicing the shields together one by one, and in a flash, three shields, a horse-resisted by spears.
This shield is specially made by the Yang family. It is formed at one time and has a round hole on it. You can usually hide behind the shield to observe the enemy situation. There are slots on both sides. Although it is not tight, it is very easy to splice. When connected together, it is a shield wall, and a spear is a solid horse-rejecting resistance.
Behind the three horse-rejected horses is Ru Lin's gun array, which is one of the formations trained by Crescent Island for different situations. This horse-rejected horse-rejected formation is designed specifically to deal with the charge of the brigade of cavalry.
As we all know, the biggest advantage of cavalry is its impact force and mobility. If a cavalry rushes forward, it cannot slow down. Most of the losses will be lost. However, if the opponent can slow down or even stop, there will be no advantage against the spearmen.
Unfortunately, the Liao vanguard Xiao Huohuo was charging in the north at this time. He didn't know what he was going to face!
Under the cover of the charge of the entire army, Xiao Huohuo paid a heavy price before he led his cavalry through the defense line. After counting, he found that less than half of his troops were left.
His vanguard unit had more than 12,000 troops, but now there were only more than 5,800 troops left. He was so angry that he even wanted to return to the army to launch a raid, but at least he was not fascinated by hatred and remembered Yelu Yingbi's entrustment.
He quickly carried out a reorganization of the army. Those who were too seriously injured were taken care of by those who were mildly injured. He found a place to hide first. Then he took more than 5,000 men and horses and headed straight south, because on his map, he could reach the river as long as he walked south to a big river and then along the river.
It was almost three hours since the march, and the whistle cavalry came back to report: "General! I found a river ahead, but there were a large group of people, as if confronting each other!"
Xiao Huohuo was stunned and said, "How many people are there?"
The whistle cavalry quickly replied: "There are about 10,000 or 20,000 people, most of them are infantry, and only a small number of cavalry!"
"Did you find us?" Xiao Huohuo frowned and said, "But we are all the way, they shouldn't be so fast!"
"General, he should be the battalion soldiers of Hejian Prefecture. Such battalion soldiers are not strong in combat, at most 10,000 or 20,000! It's good to use them to suppress bandits, but they are not enough to meet us!" said a general next to him. He had served as an envoy to Yan State during the Great Liao Dynasty and had a little knowledge of the Yan State's army.
The army of Yan State was divided into several types. The first type was the imperial guards, which was known as one million, but in fact it was about 500,000. In name, it was commanded by the emperor himself and composed of brave men selected from various places. It was considered the most elite of each army.
The second is for the border army, which is the Northland Daying, mainly one in the south and one in the north, with the north as the main focus, and the defense is the largest enemy in the north - the Liao Kingdom, and the Northland Daying is only part of the northern border army.
The third type is the wing army, also known as the camp soldiers, which are the remaining young and strong recruits who have recruited the imperial guards and selected them from them. They are available in each state and prefecture, mainly used for guarding and suppressing bandits.
When Xiao Huohuo heard that it was the Xiang army, he was immediately full of disdain. He stopped hesitating and said directly: "Everyone can speed up, we will defeat these battalions and then take the Hejian Prefecture City!"
"Roll!" "Roll!" "Break down these pickled plants!"
For a moment, Xiao Huohuo's cavalry team was very energetic, and they howled, rushed towards the Yang family's soldiers.
Xiao Huohuo saw the other party placing his spear on the shield from a distance, and he felt even more disdainful. This kind of refusal to horses was too shabby and he wanted to stop them? He felt that as long as he picked it up, this kind of broken thing could be broken. The cavalry under his command were all superb riding skills, and the difficulty of this movement was zero.
Seeing that it was almost time to reach an arrow, he shouted, "Shoot the arrow!"
The flag of the central army waved, and a rain of arrows shot out in an instant, and two rounds were shot out in an instant. This was the embodiment of their riding and shooting skills. Seeing that it was almost at the place of refusing horses, everyone changed into long soldiers and prepared to pick out the simple refusing horses.
Many people in the Yang family's team were affected by arrow rain, but fortunately, they were wearing excellent armor and did not suffer much damage. Only some unlucky guys were shot on their faces by arrows or weak areas, and they were directly injured.
"Give it! Me! Break!" Xiao Huohuo took the lead. With a loud shout, the spear in his hand had already been lifted on the spear of the horse's refusal. Unfortunately, it did not fly out directly as he imagined. Instead, the spear and shield turned around and slid past his spear, and then returned to the distance!
"Shou~~~!" The good horse he sat down suddenly hissed, trying to stop his body, but inertia no longer allowed it to do so.
But it was a good horse. Just when it was about to hit the spearhead, it jumped up and jumped over the reigning horse. Unfortunately, it was greeted by the second row of reigning horses.
Xiao Huohuo was thrown out at once, but fortunately he didn't hang on the spearhead. He knocked over the shield wall against the ground, and a "bang" sound.
After a while, he was surrounded by horses and human corpses. Fortunately, he did not knock him down, otherwise he would have been injured. In this way, he was relieved for a long time, vomited blood, and then stood up with gasps.
Three refusals stopped his men and horses. Seeing that the cavalry in the back had fallen, they wanted to slow down and stop, but the cavalry in the back were still charging, and their formation was already in chaos.
"Swish swish swish swish!" Xiao Huohuo immediately lay on the ground when he heard this sound of breaking through the air. He knew that this was a crossbow arrow, and he was very anxious. He didn't expect that these wing troops would be so difficult to deal with. Before he could get closer, he suffered heavy losses.
When he raised his head again, many of his cavalry fell down again, some were shot by arrows, some were trampled to death after falling off a horse, and some were directly rejected with spears pierced with candied haws.
At this moment, Xiao Huohuo was full of regret. The Xiang army was outside, and the city must be empty. Why did he insist on breaking the Xiang army and going to the city before going to the city?
Unfortunately, it was too late, so he could only roar angrily: "Retreat quickly! Don't rush again! Stop it all!"
Unfortunately, his voice was so small on the battlefield that it was not even as loud as the neighing of a horse, and it was instantly covered.
"General...jun... go quickly!"
A cavalry fell beside him. He did not have Xiao Huohuo's good horse. He was stopped by a horse and threw it over directly. He lay on the ground. He tilted his head, stared at Xiao Huohuo with his eyes, muttering, and then a stream of blood foam flowed out of his mouth.
This is Xiao Huohuo's army, the youngest son of the Xiao family housekeeper. He has been following him since childhood and driven by him. It can be said that the two of them grew up together. Later, they joined the army with him and continued to follow him, becoming his army.
But, it is such a loyal and loyal unit that protects the Lord and is like a brother, but he is lying in front of him with his eyes open and wants to protect him before he dies and let him leave quickly!
"Mulian!" Xiao Huohuo's eyes were bloodshot, and he climbed to his side a few times, reached out to close his eyes. He could only be incompetent and roared: "Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!"
"Don't shout it all! I'll chop you up if I'll call you again!" A group of Yang family soldiers had left the formation at some point. In the Ma Refusing Formation, they directly compensated those who were seriously injured and had the ability to move.
Seeing Xiao Huohuo shouting to the sky in a daze, the soldier thought he was frightened, so he shouted loudly, interrupted his yell, and then tied his hands behind him into a bundle with the Liao cavalry next to him.
Xiao Huohuo was numbly escorted back to the formation. He was still immersed in his failure and never recovered. After a while, he suppressed the discomfort in his heart and sighed.
"I want to see your command!" He said to the soldiers beside him very arrogantly: "I am the vanguard of the seal of the Huanglong Army of the Great Liao Dynasty, Xiao Huohuo!"
He paused and said, "The Empress of the Great Liao is my sister!"
