Clusters of ordinary arrows flew out, each with about dozens of arrows, and crashed into the scattered soldiers of the A'Dahe tribe. Immediately, there were bursts of screams, causing the remaining A'Dahe tribe to
The soldier suffered another heavy blow!
This is the latest tactic developed after hard training at the Yingzhou Army Archery Battalion. It transforms overall coverage into regional coverage, making the arrow rain more flexible and targeted. All text typed by hand.
Who said that a newly trained army is inferior to a soldier who has fought hundreds of battles? Indeed, in a one-on-one fight, the recruits in the left wing of the Yingzhou Army who have just transformed from farmers and herdsmen into soldiers will definitely not be able to fight against those of the Adahe tribe who have experienced countless times
They are fighting elites, but after going through arduous and rigorous training, once these recruits form a formation, they become a sophisticated war machine. In front of a well-controlled military formation, any bravery is worth mentioning!
Most of the 300 warriors from the Adahe tribe who rushed into the formation fell within a distance of less than 300 steps in front of the two armies. Only less than a hundred of them reached the front line of the Yingzhou army. The heavy losses did not frighten these soldiers who knew they were dead.
The soldiers of the Adahe tribe in the rear were discouraged, and they ran into an iron wall with red eyes.
The killing effect of the arrow formation made Zhubulu extremely heartbroken, but he also understood that this was not the time to feel heartache. He took a strong breath and looked at Huolu in the center of the formation. When he saw the other person nodded towards him, he
I sighed secretly in my heart: Lord Huolu, you must not delay... Read the latest chapter
Zhubulu led the last warriors of the Adahe tribe to launch a charge. They learned the lessons of the first wave of impact and did not gather together. Instead, they divided into three directions and three charging formations. But the Yingzhou Army
The regional arrow array strike still hit the soldiers of the Adahe tribe accurately, causing huge casualties.
With red eyes, Zhubulu led his men to the front of the Yingzhou Army's spearmen array. In this short distance of 300 steps, in order to cover this tribal Qi Jin, he was closely surrounded by eight soldiers. Such a dense team immediately attracted attention.
He caught the attention of the archers of the Yingzhou Army and became the target of heavy strikes with bows and arrows. When he rushed to the front of the formation, six of the eight Tarma warriors who were covering him fell.
Huolu did not disappoint Zhubulu. As an experienced general, Huolu would not let his cannon fodder troops be consumed at will. Taking advantage of the situation when the soldiers of the Adah tribe were entangled with the Yingzhou army formation, Huolu
He took action. He ordered the sword and shield men to cover the archers until they were within the shooting range of both sides, and then ordered the soldiers of the Rites tribe to support the Adahe tribe's attack.
The Khitan archers entered the battlefield under the cover of the shield soldiers and threw arrows at the rear of the Yingzhou Army's main formation. Because the distance was a hundred steps away, these arrows had limited damage to the heavily armored Yingzhou Army behind them, and could only hit the lightly armored Yingzhou Army.
The armored archers are a certain threat, so the effect is not obvious. However, the arrows of these Khitan archers will still disrupt the Yingzhou Army's main formation. Therefore, the archer battalion immediately mobilized a group of long archers and Khitan archers protected by large shields.
Counter-shooting.
The Yingzhou Army's longbows and giant arrows still seemed to be able to hit the Khitan's large shield with ease. Large arrows flew in one after another, tearing apart the large shields covering the outside. The arrows penetrated straight through, and the Khitan sabers and shields behind the shield were shot.
When the soldiers shot him down, the Khitan archers were immediately exposed and began to endure the baptism of big arrows without any chance of fighting back.
When Huolu saw that the situation was not good, it seemed that he would not gain any advantage by competing with the Khitan archers and the Yingzhou army archers, so he immediately ordered the withdrawal of the sword and shield men and archers.
He mobilized another group of Hema infantry and rode on the flanks of the Yingzhou Army's formation, hoping to break through from the flanks. However, there were cavalry battalions and sword and shield battalions on the flanks of the Yingzhou Army to respond, leaving the Hema Infantry unable to attack for a while.
During this period, the cavalry battalion launched a counterattack and killed the Hema infantry walking on the flank. The Hema infantry left more than ten corpses and was expelled by the Yingzhou Army cavalry battalion, but they were unable to succeed.
At this point in the battle, Huelu finally had no choice but to admit that he really couldn't take advantage in front of such a Yingzhou Army formation with sharp arrow arrays and luxurious armor, so he ordered to withdraw his troops.
The soldiers of the Adahe tribe and the Rites tribe met in front of the Yingzhou Army array and suffered bloody injuries. Facing the invulnerable iron armor, they had no way to do anything. This feeling of powerlessness is desperate, even if Huelu doesn't blow
When the horn of retreat was sounded, the two soldiers had already fought to the point of despair and could not hold on much longer.
When Zhubulu retreated, the injured men and horses could not help but cry without tears. There were only less than 400 people who could move and fight, and many wounded soldiers were left in front of the two armies.
Huo Lu looked at the Yingzhou army formation opposite with complex eyes, and he also felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. He issued the order to retreat, and the Hema infantry troops withdrew from the battlefield under the command of the leaders of each department, mounted their war horses and retreated slowly.
"Commander Xue asked, the enemy has retreated, do you want to pursue it? Please give me your instructions!" The messenger sent by the cavalry battalion asked the Chinese army.
Meng Xuxing shook his head and said: "Although the enemy troops retreated, they retreated without chaos and cannot be pursued." After making the suggestion, he looked at Li Chengzhong and saw that Li Chengzhong nodded in agreement, so he continued to say to the messenger: "Commander Xue, please lead the army to follow.
, keep a distance from the enemy and do not engage in combat. Tell Commander Xue to keep an eye on the enemy's movements and never lose track of the enemy, otherwise military law will be engaged!"
The messenger loudly responded: "Yes!" and rode away quickly. After a while, the cavalry battalions on the left and right gathered together and followed them in the direction in which the Khitans were retreating.
In this battle, the Yingzhou Army suffered slight losses. Only seven of the frontal armored spearmen were killed, and dozens of others suffered minor injuries. The casualties came from the Adahe tribe, and the soldiers from the Rites tribe holding heavy weapons, through heavy axes and hammers.
, the knocking of iron rods and other weapons caused damage to the armored spearmen of the Yingzhou Army. In addition, more than 20 people in the formation were injured by arrows, but they were not serious.
The Yingzhou army seized the time to clean up the battlefield, capturing hundreds of lightly wounded people, and all the rest of the seriously wounded were replaced with swords. After counting, more than 560 people were beheaded. Most of them were soldiers of the Adahe tribe, with dozens of others scattered here and there.
That soldier from the Ministry of Etiquette.
The entire army was disarmed, and after an hour's rest and a full meal, Li Chengzhong started marching according to the route reported by the cavalry battalion.
This battle was a small test for the Yingzhou Army under the new formation, but it still showed its majesty in front of the Kumoxi people. Salanna led hundreds of Kumoxi soldiers who were also in the Yingzhou Army formation. These Kumoxi soldiers
Soldier Xi was sharpening his sword and gun, preparing for a bloody battle, but he didn't expect that not even a single arrow was fired in the end. They watched the progress of the battle in the Yingzhou army formation from beginning to end, and saw the Yingzhou army commander's archer.
The power of the big arrows fired, and seeing the miserable scene of the Adahe tribe and the Rites tribe soldiers rushing into the battle formation like hitting an iron wall, I couldn't help but be frightened. Many Kumoxi warriors were thankful that they were in the camp.
On the side of the state army, otherwise I am afraid that the fate will be no different from that of the Adahe tribe.
Salanna wanted to lead the Kumoxi soldiers to follow Li Chengzhong, but Li Chengzhong originally did not want to agree. He wanted Salanna to stay and take care of the Kumoxi tribe. The Kumoxi soldiers fought tooth and nail to resist Jin Yue at Dayakou, suffering casualties among themselves.
It was so tragic that Li Chengzhong didn't want to cause any more damage to Kumoxi. After all, this tribe was about to become his "natal family", and he still hoped that the Kumoxi people could take a good rest.
But Salanna's attitude was very determined because she wanted revenge. Li Chengzhong persuaded her, saying that he would definitely kill Huolu and bring Huolu's head to Salanna. But Salanna still insisted.
She said that she wanted to avenge this great revenge with her own hands, but Li Chengzhong had no choice but to agree to her joining the army.
Salanna ordered the last 300 warriors of Kumoxi who could still fight. Most of the Kumoxi warriors had been injured and could not recover without several months of rest. Salanna solemnly told the Kumoxi warriors that this time
In addition to revenge, the expedition was also a battle for the future status of the Kumoxi people. She said: "If we Kumoxi people want to live with dignity under the rule of the Governor of Yingzhou, we cannot rely on charity from others. All
Our status and glory must be achieved with our own swords and swords! Only what we have earned is our own. What others give us, they can take back at any time!"
Salanna wanted Huyeshibili to stay. The great man of the Adah tribe had been extremely depressed these past two days. It seemed that the only purpose of his existence was to stand by Salanna's side and protect him from the dangers.
harm.
Li Chengzhong also felt a little pity for this failed "love rival". He wanted to hand over the captured wounded soldiers of the Adahe tribe to Huyeshibili, and also wanted Huyeshibili to stay in Dayakou or go to Liucheng, but in short he didn't.
I wish he could see the tragic scene of the massacre of the soldiers of the Adahe tribe again. He told Salanna that he would take good care of this "love rival". But no matter what he said, Huye Sibili responded with indifference and no appreciation.
, he only had Salanna's figure in his eyes, and he would go wherever Salanna went. He ignored Li Chengzhong's words, and even the request he made was through Salanna's mouth, and Salanna asked Li Chengzhong
He said: "Li Lang, I'm sorry that Brother Huli is like this...but he is my brother after all. We have fought side by side over the years..."
Li Chengzhong smiled: "I understand."
Salanna hesitated and said: "He wants you to promise him something..."
Li Chengzhong asked: "What's the matter?"
Salanna said: "Can you forgive his father?"
Li Chengzhong nodded without hesitation: "Yes. If Zhubulu dies on the battlefield, I have nothing to do, but as long as he lives, I will spare his life."
…
Huolu retreated north along the Raoleshui River. The cavalry battalion of the Yingzhou Army followed closely and monitored from a distance, while continuously reporting the situation of the Khitans to Li Chengzhong's central army.
Two hundred miles to the north from Dayakou is Chishan, where the Raole River turns to the northeast. The army turned along the Raole River and continued to follow Huolu. Huolu continued to retreat toward the northeast, and its purpose became more and more obvious.
The purpose is to lengthen the Yingzhou Army's logistics supply line. However, Huolu's behavior is also in line with the Yingzhou Army's wishes. The Yingzhou Army hopes to bite Huolu's Hema Infantry and then draw out the main force of Abaoji, so it naturally has to work hard to keep up.
The two sides seemed to have consciously embarked on a long-distance march with a very tacit understanding. They would not contact, fight, or move away from each other, and just kept heading north.
On the eighth day after the battle at Dayakou, Li Chengzhong saw the figure of Mount Raole in his sight. The top of this sacred mountain in the hearts of the Khitan people was glowing with golden light in the afterglow.
