Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 873: Hunting in Yanmen

The shouts and laughter of the Liao army's horses rose and fell, and a Khitan voice said, "What you can't do in your own territory, you can do after entering the city! Women, wealth, kill | people, set fire!"

Xiao Duoli rode his horse to the front line of the cavalry vanguard, and in the dust in the distance, the men sent by the Sanqi River East Army were running side by side.

In the dry autumn wind, flying sand and stones are flying, and the eyes are full of yellow sand. The quaint and dilapidated Daizhou City is deep in the dust, like a relic left from ancient times. Thousands of troops and horses stand in the wild, and the armored swords and guns are shining with the cold light of stars.

Xiao Duoli waited and watched for a while, raised his hand and shouted loudly in Khitan dialect: "Stop!"

He turned his head and said to the lieutenants beside him: "It's a bit strange, don't get close for now, send someone to investigate again."

The generals reined in their horses one after another according to the words, observing the scene ahead, one by one the phalanx formed with their backs to the city, and the coach reminded everyone that this battle seemed to be open to confrontation.

Xiao Duli looked for a long time, then raised his head to look at the sky, only the humming sound could be heard in his ears.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a horse galloping from the gap in the formation. The leather-clad knight couldn't get off his horse in time, so he pressed his chest and said urgently: "Commander, something is wrong. Xu Jun's elite soldiers rushed to my side from the southwest and burned our camp. They are dividing troops to attack Yanmen!"

"What?!" Xiao Duoli's eyes widened, and veins immediately bulged from both sides of his forehead!

All the troops were in an uproar, and someone shouted: "It's been tricked!"

Xiao Duoli asked the knight, "Who are they?"

The knight said: "Xu's army has strong horses and strong horses. One man has two horses. Everyone wears fine armor. They must be the imperial army!"

"Damn it, Dong Zunhui hasn't arrived in Xinzhou yet?!" Xiao Duoli scolded with staring eyes.

A general said: "Yang Ye and Dong Zunhui let them in quietly!" Another said, "That's not so fast!"

Xiao Duoli was at a loss, he couldn't figure out whether it was Dong Zunhui who ran too fast, or the scout's news was wrong, but the situation in front of him was that the way back was suddenly cut off!

"After the striker is cut off, the army turns around!" Xiao Duoli shouted decisively, and turned his horse's head after shouting.

... Not long after, the flames flickered in the distance, and the banners in the thick smoke were quickly submerged.

"Boom boom boom..." After the flames flashed, the huge roar roared ferociously like a bolt from the blue. The sound shook this ancient land and tore through the dead and silent sky east of the river!

The fast iron ball came through the sky from the yellow dust, flying lower and lower over the heads of the knights. "Bang!" With a heavy impact, the iron ball hit the dry ground and jumped up immediately, cracking the earth and rocks on the ground and flying the ground.

"Hiss!" The horse that was close at hand suddenly stopped in shock, and raised its front hooves in the dust.

The knight behind suddenly fell back from his horse, his head exploded like a watermelon, blood was splattered everywhere on the loess ground, even flesh was splattered.

The shouts of people and the neighing of horses came from everywhere. At this time, the Hedong Army was still nearly a mile away.

The sound of the cannon was like a bamboo pole piercing the hornet's nest inside and outside Daizhou City, and the drums and horns rang together. Someone shouted something, every time he shouted, Xu Jun immediately responded with a shout, and then heard the Chinese shout of thousands of troops: "Long live! Long live..."

A mass of cavalry surged, and a large group of Han'er cavalry moved northward. The horses in front ran faster and faster, rushing faster and faster like a mudslide. The sound of horseshoes rolled like waves, and the loess flew over the ground like smoke.

The forward of the Liao army did not turn around as ordered, instead of running, it advanced. The two groups of people and horses confronted each other, and amidst the flying sand and rocks, the smoke kicked up by the horseshoes spread like the smoke of a burning fire!

When the two armies met the enemy, there were crackling sounds like fried beans everywhere. It was the powerful string vibration of military bows and arrows!

The cavalry at the front of the Liao army let go of the reins, clamped their legs on the horse's back, bent their upper body flexibly with the horse's up and down, left and right, and pulled the bowstring with both hands, "Pa|pa|pa..." In the misty dust and mist, the black shadow of Chang Haloxylon was very terrifying, screaming everywhere.

Not long after, the battlefield was full of killing sounds, dancing weapons loomed, and men and horses seemed to be struggling in the mud!

The cavalry of the Hedong Army were not the opponents of the Liao Army. They could not enter, and they only galloped back and forth nearby to kill. In the chaotic battle, several soldiers and horses in Hedong were directly defeated by the Liao army. But the Liao army did not dare to pursue, because a large group of infantry in the south was filling the battle formation.

...Xiao Duoli led his army past the camp last night, only to see black smoke everywhere, dead bodies lying|strewn, and a mess.

The generals around him were all panicked. Xiao Duli also didn't have time to pay attention to what was going on in the situation he encountered now! Anyway, some big shots from the North Court told him how to do it, so who should I ask now?

Xiao Duoli was still able to hold his breath. After seeing the scene of the camp with his own eyes, he immediately said: "Reinforce Yanmen Pass immediately, and we must keep the retreat! Xu Jun has traveled a long way, and his men and horses are exhausted. If he wants to survive, he will kill him!"

While pointing to the direction of the ministries to mobilize and arrange troops and horses, he took out a thick old map and looked at it again.

There are mountains and rivers on the outside and inside of the river, and the terrain is like "chuan". There are flat rivers between the continuous mountains, and mountains and rivers alternate with each other. The Daizhou area within the Yanmen Pass is like a right-sloping "Chuan" character: the Yanmen Mountains are to the north, and the Taihang Wutai Mountains are to the south.

Now Xiao Tuoli is caught in the corridor between the two mountains. To the southwest is the direction of Xu Jun Dong Zunjiao's department, and to the southeast is the Daizhou Hedong Army's Yang Ye Department. Once the road out of Yanmen Pass is blocked, the north and south cannot enter!

Xiao Duili followed the northward march to the Liao Army Headquarters to the foot of Yanmen Mountain, intending to follow the route to reinforce and fight for Yanmen Pass.

After marching for a while, I saw a group of Xu Jun infantry waiting on the road into the mountain. The horses were behind the phalanx, which seemed to be infantry on horseback.

"If you don't fight, you die! Destroy the enemy camp!" Xiao Duoli ordered.

Jingqi, the vanguard of the northern wing of the Liao army, immediately approached the Xu army's camp. This place has reached the remaining range of Yanmen Pass. The mountain is gentle, but the continuous ups and downs are endless. The cavalry is advancing on the undulating terrain. At first glance, it seems that there are horses all over the mountains and plains!

The shouts and the sound of horseshoes resounded through the mountains. The Liao army surrounded from both sides and attacked Xu's two wings on the hillside. Obviously, it was impossible for Dong Zunjiao's troops to carry heavy artillery in the attack, and the Liao army easily approached the phalanx.

However, Xu Jun has a terrain advantage, and Xu Jun's infantry has almost perfectly utilized its offensive and defensive strengths on this terrain. The cavalry of the Liao army did not have the speed to sprint, so it was difficult to break the formation; and the two rows of heavy infantry in the front of the Xu army were densely packed with spears, and it was difficult to break through;

"Ding Dong..." Suddenly, there was a sound of Guqin strings, and the strings, horizontal blows, and drums in Xu Jun's crowd unexpectedly played military music.

This group of Xu Jun's light soldiers raided with musical instruments, and the equipment was really extravagant. It looks good and sells very well, the flag is made of silk, and there is gold thread embroidery on a big tiger pattern flag! The clothes of the soldiers are mostly made of leather, and the armor is bright and bright. The red tassels on the helmets are like red flowers in spring; in this remote area full of loess, these people's clothes are out of place.

The sound of the strings was mixed with the sound of the arrow feathers flying rapidly, and the Liao army cavalry shot the arrow first.

Xu Jun yelled in the formation, and all the soldiers braved the casualties in the arrow rain, shouted in unison, and the formation stood still! Suddenly a gong sounded, a square flag was waved forward, and the firearms were heard exploding in rows!

Although the lead bullets were small, they could still faintly see their shadows, flying towards the Liao army crowd like sand and gravel.

"Ah!" A Liao soldier covered his face with his hands, blood dripped from his fingers, and he hissed on the horse's back. There are also war horses falling on the slope, struggling to fall, and cavalrymen screaming and rolling down the hillside.

Fire | The sound of gunfire continued in an endless stream, and volleys were fired in rows. The Liao army suffered many casualties, and the cavalry who rushed forward could not enter in the face of dense spears. There was chaos and noise on the two hillsides for a long time, and soon the Liao army retreated.

After a while, the Liao army regrouped the cavalry and attacked the phalanx from the front, so at least it was no longer an upward attack.

The explosion of gunpowder soon resounded in the mountains, with drumming music and noise, only noisy on the battlefield. Other than that, there were no people in the mountains, and the silence was terrifying, so that the noise on the battlefield seemed like a dream.

Xiao Duulize immediately stepped forward, seeing Daliao Jingqi, who was charging forward, keep falling on the road, his heart was bleeding! The elite cavalry of the Liao army is the most powerful military force in the world at this time. Even if the fine cavalry of Xu Jun's imperial army relies on a lot of money and well-equipped, it will not be cheap in terms of tactics and combat power in horse warfare...

However, under pressure, he could only let the elite go to the front of the infantry! Before there was any result, Xiao Duoli's sense of frustration welled up in his heart.

"Kang Dang!" The cavalry finally rushed to Xu Jun's phalanx with their fast charge, and the fearless Liao Army warriors drove straight to the horse and slammed into it.

"Bang bang..." The firearms behind the phalanx raised up and fired randomly at him, the Khitan soldier's chest was splashed with blood, the iron bone in his hand fell off, and his whole body was shaking like chaff.

"Ah!" The Khitan man screamed one last time, and a cherry gun was pierced|into his waist.

Liao cavalry went forward one after another, and immediately several cavalry rushed in together. The phalanx in the middle of Xu's army was in chaos, but the infantry did not retreat, and instead swarmed and besieged the rushing Liao army.

After only a stick of incense, the Liao army couldn't bear such casualties and continued to attack, and gradually retreated to reorganize its troops.

Lieutenant General Yelu Hu'er said: "It's better to ask Xi Bing to go up, with swords and shields in front, and archers in the back. They can shoot Xu Jun from eighty steps away."

Yang Gun also said: "Lieutenant General Yelu's words are reasonable. Xu Jun's firearms have a short range, and if they can hit less than eighty paces, even if they can, they can't penetrate Lu Jin at the end of the crossbow. How about firearms?"

At this moment, Xiao Tuoli had to report: "A large group of Xu Jun's cavalry on the left (west) is approaching!"

Xiao Duili heard the news and sighed: "The situation is urgent, it's too late."

Looking at the scene in front of him, he knew that he would not dare to bypass this infantry, and such a road would not be able to escape the pursuers. After entering the mountain, the road is relatively narrow, and the army in the mountain can easily be congested if they cannot get out of the way. When a large number of people are trapped in the mountain, it is easier to be intercepted and chased.

Yang Ye's department was in the south to the east, Dong Zunjiao's cavalry was in the west, and the road to Yanmen in the north was blocked... Xiao Duoli turned his head and looked to the east.
