ps: Thanks to Pluto, Golden Crow, Seven Styles, and Brother Danghan for the reward!
Once the sudden autumn rain fell, it continued continuously, covering the entire grassland in a vast mist with raindrops as thin as a cow. Until early in the morning, this autumn rain showed no sign of stopping, just like that.
Flowing endlessly.
Huolu laughed and shouted nervously, waving his arms at Abaoji who was beside him, who was still stunned.
"Brother Chuiliji, I have already said that the good master's Dharma is boundless and he is a living god! A living god! Well, I have to go and bring the master back. I was not very respectful to the master before. I hope you can
Master will not blame me..."
"Brother Chuilizhi, hurry up and send the order, the warriors are all ready! Haha!..."
The horn sounded throughout the entire Khitan camp. Teams of Khitan soldiers were busy eating war food. After swallowing it, they hurriedly put on armor on each other, then formed a team and drove outside the camp. Everyone would
The bow and arrows were left in the tent, and I just carried the melee weapon with me. Once the bowstring and bow horns were soaked, not only would the bow be weak, but the bow body would be damaged, and it would be useless on such a rainy day. Although my bow and arrows
It has lost its effect, but relatively speaking, the Yingzhou Army on the opposite side, which relies more on bows and arrows, will lose more. In the close combat, the Khitan soldiers have no doubt about their own bravery!
Tens of thousands of Khitan and warriors from all ethnic groups lined up and arrived 200 steps away from the Yingzhou military camp. This distance had never been reached before. When they arrived here, Huelu couldn't help laughing wildly again.
As if he was afraid that the autumn rain would stop and miss the best opportunity to attack, as soon as the army stopped, Abaoji quickly dispatched his men and began to besiege the camp from three sides.
In the camp, Li Chengzhong angrily said to the surrounding Yuhou generals: "Will a rain destroy your courage? Don't you dare to fight the Khitan without using bows and arrows? Ling Qi
I don’t know, you don’t know how to command? Have you forgotten how we fought with the Khitans back then? Did we have so many crossbows at that time? Did we have so much armor at that time? No! We didn’t have anything.
No. Isn’t it the same as winning?”
The generals in the tent were all solemn. They heard Governor Li, who had not been so angry for a long time, reprimanding loudly: "I brought you here not to let you bully others by relying on your military armor. My camp is here."
The army was established to fight hard and bitter battles from the beginning of the army! Hand-to-hand combat has always been the foundation of our Yingzhou Army! I tell you, the Khitan people are just a threshold in front of us. If we are even
If you can't cross such a small threshold, how can you go to the pass with me to fight in the future? Xuanwu Army, Hedong Army. Which army is worse than the Khitan? If you don't even have the courage to fight the Khitan face to face, our camp
Disband the state army as soon as possible!"
The generals all lowered their heads in shame, and Li Chengzhong shouted again: "Don't mention so many objective conditions to me, such as shrinking the defense line and concentrating manpower, or hiding in the mountains to wait for the rain to stop. It's all bullshit! Who dares to say this to me again?
You are talking nonsense, I will chop him with one knife! If the crossbows are useless, we will fight the Khitans with swords and guns! If the fire cannot be started, we will hold them in front with our bones! If the soldiers can’t withstand it, let’s go to the team leader! If the team leader can’t withstand the team,
Go ahead! All the troops are dead in the battle! All the heads are dead in the battle. Command! The Yuhou staff officers who can still play a command role will continue to command. The rest who cannot command will, from the beginning of their experience, be escorted to the Yamen, join the army, and Yuhou
, all carry swords for me and go into battle! You will all die in the battle. I will go up myself! I tell you, there is no retreat here. If you take a step back, we will all die!"
After taking a breath, Li Chengzhong said again: "I still don't believe it. They are all big men, can we really not defeat them? Today, at this moment, at the foot of Raole Mountain. Let's go head-to-head with them.
Let the entire grassland see whether our Yingzhou Army is the true master of the grassland!"
The words immediately aroused the hearts of the generals. The commanders and lieutenants of each battalion received the order one after another, opened the tents and strode out to deploy and organize their respective teams. Li Chengzhong also came out of the tent in person to inspect the combat readiness of each department in the rain.
, all of a sudden, bursts of cheers rang out in the camp.
"Hello warriors!"
"Captain Ankang!"
"Hard work warriors!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Governor!"
When Li Chengzhong saw more and more Yingzhou Army soldiers gathering around him, he simply jumped onto a ji chariot beside him and said loudly in the warm eyes of the soldiers: "Someone told me that without the crossbows, you
I can’t defeat the Khitans, I don’t believe this! Do you believe it or not?”
"Don't believe it!..."
"What nonsense?..."
"Who said that? Stand up and I will kill him!..."
Li Chengzhong said loudly: "I believe everyone, I believe everyone has the courage and determination to use our swords, guns, and fists to show our courage to this grassland and tell everyone on this grassland that we
He is the master of the grassland!"
Thousands of soldiers from the Yingzhou Army were boiling with excitement and screaming!
Li Chengzhong pointed to the big banner on the high slope: "I will stand under the big banner in a moment and watch you fight with my own eyes! If anyone can't stand it anymore, tell me, I have no nonsense, I will come up to replace you with swords and guns.
We will fight side by side and never retreat!"
"Never retreat!" More soldiers roared.
"What kind of army are we? Tell me, louder!"
"The Yingzhou Army is victorious in every battle!" Thousands of soldiers shouted in unison.
"Our slogan? Shout it to me!"
"Use me in the first battle, and you will win if you use me!"
"Use me in the first battle, and you will win if you use me!"
"Use me in the first battle, and you will win if you use me!"
The entire camp erupted with a thunderous sound, and thousands of soldiers raised their arms and shouted. The shouts overlapped like a wave and spread to the entire grassland.
Li Chengzhong jumped off the carriage, ran up a high slope, and stood under the banner, looking in all directions without saying a word.
One Yuhou came over with a felt blanket to protect him from the rain, but he knocked it down with his palm. Another Yuhou went to Mazar and asked him to sit on the spot, but he kicked him away.
"With such good soldiers, how can we not win? You are busy with your business. I will stand here. If there is a problem, I will rush to where it goes!" Li Chengzhong shouted to Yu Hou's staff.
All the Yu Hou staff officers looked ashamed. Without saying a word, many of them drew their swords, raised their wooden guns, and automatically rushed to the side of the frontline soldiers and stood side by side with them. Many more people rushed to various posts.
Prepare to engage the enemy.
The commander of the old battalion, Zhou Xiaolang, personally led two hundred security guards and stood behind Li Chengzhong, waiting for orders at any time.
In the vast autumn rain, hundreds of Khitan people swarmed in, carrying heavy swords, and killed the armored spearmen arrayed in front. The Yingzhou Army deployed more resisting horses in advance to tightly block the front line of defense. When the Khitan
When people rushed in front of Juma, they were faced with an armored spear formation opposite Juma.
The armored spear formations of the Yingzhou Army were even denser than before, with spearmen from five capitals forming up behind the horses. Their spears stood straight in the forest, pointing directly at the Khitan soldiers who were rushing towards them.
The first wave of frontal attacking Khitan soldiers was commanded by Hua Ge. He had gained some experience in dealing with armored spear formations in the previous battles. At this moment, he personally led a hundred sword and shield men to supervise the battle, urging the Ministry of Rites and Tuyuhun
The soldiers of the other tribes launched an attack. These cannon fodders in Huage's eyes rushed to the front of the Juma, and thrust their wooden spears at the armored spearmen on the opposite side through the Juma, but the wooden spears were blocked by the iron armor, or were cut aside along the iron armor.
, did not have the effect of injuring the enemy. On the contrary, the long spears thrust out by the armored spearmen on the opposite side had an obvious effect on killing enemies. After a while, half of the Tuyuhun soldiers in the first row fell down. Many of them fell directly on the ground.
On the horse, the wooden thorns on the horse were pierced into the body and hooked on it.
A few of the more powerful soldiers used their long blades to press the chests of the Yingzhou Army's armored spearmen, pushing the armored spearmen back half a step. Then they bravely stepped on the smooth parts of their horses and pounced in the air, only to be beaten by the second soldier.
The platoon of armored spearmen raised their spears and penetrated directly. The force of their attack was so great that they broke the spears in the hands of many spearmen. These spearmen threw down the broken spears and retreated to receive the new spears from the rear.
The position is filled by the spearmen in the further back row.
Unable to withstand the pressure of casualties, some of the Rites and Tuyuhun warriors turned around and fled, but were hacked to death on the spot by the Khitan soldiers led by Hua Ge who supervised the battle.
Taking advantage of the entanglement and attack of the first wave of warriors, many Khitan soldiers risked being tied up in strings, squeezed into the attacking crowd, tied the Juma with a lasso, and then quickly retreated. More than a dozen people pulled hard and pulled down a building.
The horses were pulled over and dragged out. As the horses were dragged away one after another, the Khitan people finally opened the passage facing the armored spear formation. Huage shouted and pointed forward with both hammers in his hands. Hundreds of people holding heavy blades
The elite Khitan cavalry infantry wielded iron rods, heavy axes, and hammers, and charged directly at the armored spear array.
There were sounds of wooden spears piercing flesh, and many Khitan soldiers holding heavy blades were pierced by the wooden spears. However, more Khitan soldiers rushed forward, smashing the rifle shafts with all their strength, and smashed the heavy blades against the iron armor. The casualties of the armored gun array began.
Appearing, the armored spearmen ignored the heavy blades wielded and mechanically thrust their wooden spears forward according to the training instructions. They were either blocked, pierced into the opponent's body, or hit by the opponent's heavy blades.
The armored spearmen and Khitan heavy-blade warriors consumed each other at an extremely fast speed, and each fell to pieces in an instant.
The Yingzhou armored spearmen who were knocked down were luckier than the Khitan heavy-blade warriors who were pierced. As long as they were not directly hit on the head by the heavy blade, they basically did not die on the spot. After they fell,
Enduring the pain, they crawled forward, leaving the vacated positions for the soldiers behind them to fill their positions. Some of them were not seriously injured. They tried their best to find a way out in the gaps between the feet of the fierce fighting between the two sides, and gradually climbed out of the fighting area to wait for the battle.
Later rescue.
The armored spearmen of the Yingzhou Army were all wrapped in heavy armor, with cold and expressionless masks on their faces. They fought fiercely with the ferocious Khitan heavy-blade warriors, intertwining into a tragic picture in the autumn rain.
