Yue Yun and Zhang Xian each led 10,000 cavalry to attack the infantry formation of the signing army from the left and right. The 30,000 infantry of the signing army was led by Li Cheng, and was naturally his elite army.
Li Cheng deployed 10,000 crossbow troops, divided into three crossbow formations from east to west and south. No matter which direction the Western cavalry came from, they could not escape the crossbow formation.
The Western cavalry rushed into the crossbow range of the signing army in an instant, and Li Cheng coldly ordered, "Shoot!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" the huge drum sounded, and a thousand crossbow arrows from the west were suddenly launched, forming a black cloud of arrows, roaring towards Zhang Xian and the Western cavalry. In an instant, the Western cavalry were hit one after another.
The arrow fell down, and nearly three hundred people were hit by the crossbow bolts.
Immediately after the second row of crossbow arrows from the signing army came, the Western Army cavalry kept screaming and falling to the ground during the charge. The third row of arrows roared again, and the dense crossbow arrows shot through the Western Army cavalry like a gust of wind and rain.
The leather armor, or the war horse was hit by an arrow, the horse overturned, and the cavalry on the horse suddenly rolled to the ground, and was trampled to pieces by the horses that followed.
The three platoons of crossbowmen were skilled in their movements. They loaded, advanced, and fired the crossbows in turn. After only one round of firing, the Western Army cavalry lost more than 800 people. The heavy losses made the Western Army cavalry's murderous spirit subside slightly.
It was a little messy, but at this time, the Western Army's cavalry forward had already rushed to the enemy's formation, and Zhang Xian shouted, "Fight in!"
He took the lead, wielding his spear and entered the enemy's spear formation, and the cavalry swarmed in from behind.
Ten thousand cavalry led by Yue Yun from the east also came like a wave. The archers who had been waiting for a long time began to shoot hard. The archers used longbow arrows. The arrows were three feet and three inches long. The steel clusters were sharp and they were shot at an angle of elevation. Three
Thousands of arrows are densely packed like a rainstorm, and they are so powerful that they can shoot through both men and horses.
The more than 500 Western cavalry and war horses who rushed through the front were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. The dead bodies piled up. The arrows of the signing army were so fast that the Western cavalry were shot over when they rushed forward. A thousand crossbowmen also fired in coordination.
, the Western cavalry could not advance within forty steps, and suffered heavy casualties...
Yue Yun led two thousand cavalrymen to rush from the left wing. The predecessor of the two thousand cavalrymen was the Beiwei Army of the Yue Family Army. These two thousand people were the most elite of the Beiwei Army and had been following Yue Yun. This time there was no reorganization.
They broke up and still followed Yue Yun, but changed the name of Beiwei Army to Tuqi Army.
The two thousand assault cavalry are a combination of cavalry and archers. They charge bravely like other cavalry. They rush and attack with powerful arrows, knocking rows of golden soldiers to the ground.
However, the powerful crossbow army of the signing army made Yue Yun worried. At this moment, Yue Yun's eyes suddenly saw a big flag. It was the flag of Li Cheng's general, and Li Cheng must be under it.
Capture the thief first and capture the king first. The passion for male competition boiled in Yue Yun's chest. He ordered General Yao Zheng to continue to lead his army in a frontal attack. He shouted, "Brothers, follow me to kill the thief army and make meritorious service!"
He wielded his double hammers and led two thousand elite cavalry to kill Li Cheng's flag camp. Yue Yun's double hammers flew like two dragons rolling around, hammering left and right. The heads of the signing soldiers were broken, bones were broken, and tendons were broken, and corpses were scattered everywhere.
He led the cavalry to quickly clear a bloody path and gradually approached the enemy general's flag.
At this time, Yue Yun had clearly seen the enemy general wearing a silver helmet and iron armor. He was closely guarded by hundreds of armored guards and quickly moved north. They were unable to catch up.
"General Yue!"
The soldiers under his command shouted: "We have reached behind the crossbowmen!"
It was true that they were planting flowers but not letting them live, and planting willows unintentionally were creating shade. They actually fought their way behind the crossbow army.
Yue Yun shouted, "Fight with me!"
Two thousand assault cavalry followed Yue Yun and ran wildly, instantly rushing into a large crossbow formation of 4,000 people from behind. The crossbow army basically had no ability to fight back, and its protection was extremely weak. Once it was attacked by the enemy, it would be a one-sided massacre.
Yue Yun led two thousand of his men like fierce tigers to charge into the sheep, killing the crossbowmen until the sky was filled with cries, and corpses were strewn all over the ground.
Li Cheng could see clearly from a distance. He recognized Yue Yun, and suddenly became furious and shouted: "The right-wing spear army intercepts them and surrounds them!"
Six thousand spear troops rushed forward, blocking the path of Yue Yun's army and saving the last one thousand crossbowmen.
The spear army quickly formed a formation and surrounded Yue Yun's assault cavalry. Yue Yun led his army to break through, but the signing army tried their best to block it. The killings on both sides were fierce, the shouts were loud, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.
The two armies of the main formation merged into one, but the Jurchen heavy-armored cavalry found a breakthrough. All the 500 black-armored infantry originally supposed to be here were killed, and they had to be supplemented by spear infantry. Captain Pucha Tuye led the army.
Eight thousand heavily armored cavalry violently charged towards the breach.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and the two armies collided like two surging waves. In an instant, the murderous aura blinded people's eyes. The soldiers clashed with each other, and the armors collided with each other. There was a sonorous sound. The two armies fought fiercely together, shouting
There were killing sounds, screams, heads falling to the ground, and rivers of blood. The war was so cruel that the lives of soldiers were as humble as grass at this moment.
A soldier of the Western Army with hooks and sickles screamed, and his head was split in half by the ax of a Jurchen cavalry. Blood and brains spattered everywhere. The Jurchen cavalry could not withdraw the axe, but the heavily armored war horse under him was struck by the legs of another Western soldier.
The soldiers used the sharp sickle on the side of the hook sickle to cut the meridians.
The war horse plopped down, and the strong Jurchen cavalry on the horse also fell to the ground. The soldiers with hooks and sickles rushed forward and held the cavalry tightly. They casually pulled out the dagger from their leather boots and aimed it hard at his forehead.
With a sharp stab, the dagger penetrated into the forehead. The Jurchen cavalry screamed and died.
But without the sword formation of the black-armored infantry, ordinary soldiers with hooks and sickles could not stop the impact of the heavy-armored cavalry. More than a thousand heavy-armored cavalry rushed into the formation, and there was a steady stream of heavy-armored cavalry behind them.
Kill them in the formation.
The situation was extremely critical. Coach Chen Qing arrived with hundreds of black-armored infantry. Chen Qing shouted loudly and stabbed a Jurchen commander in the throat with his halberd.
A is separated and connected with a belt.
The halberd was waved again, cold light flashed, and another centurion's head flew up, and the headless corpse fell from the horse.
Chen Qing killed more than a dozen Jurchen generals in one go. The cavalry behind them were extremely angry and came in a fierce attack.
"Throw spears!" Chen Qing gave the order, and hundreds of spear throwers behind him rushed up and threw hundreds of short spears with cold light. Suddenly, there was a scream, and dozens of heavy armored cavalry rushing towards him were stabbed to death on the ground.
.
There was also a gap in the heavy armored cavalry for a very short time, and Chen Qing shouted: "Black-armored soldiers will fill it up!"
Hundreds of black armored men seized this fleeting opportunity, swarmed forward, and quickly formed a formation to block the onrushing heavy armored cavalry.
Hundreds more hook-and-scythe gunmen came up to take over. Their fighting method was rather strange. They lay down behind the black-armored infantry and used their hook-and-scythe guns to attack the enemy's horses from below.
As a supplement, hundreds of spear throwers also appeared in the third row, throwing spears in a concentrated burst.
After successfully blocking the gap, Chen Qing turned around and commanded the army to eliminate a thousand heavily armored cavalry, knocking them down with hooks and sickles, shooting through them with heavy crossbows, and killing them with battle axes. In just a moment, more than a thousand heavily armored cavalry were killed.
Disappearing like a wave in the sea of people.
The Western Army withstood an almost successful attack by the Jurchen heavy armored cavalry. The loopholes were quickly closed, and the chariots immediately showed their power. The trebuchets on the chariots violently projected dozens of kerosene balls.
Several kerosene balls hit the enemy soldiers, and the kerosene inside poured out. The cavalrymen suddenly turned into flaming men and horses. The horses raised their heads and screamed violently. They turned around and ran wildly. In one turn, they knocked over five or six cavalrymen.
Finally, he fell to the ground, and both the man and the horse curled up with heat.
More fireballs hit the ground, suddenly forming a sea of fire, and the neat formation began to become chaotic.
"Use a powder keg!"
Chen Qing discovered that kerosene would also affect the Western Army's operations, and immediately ordered the kerosene balls to be changed into gunpowder barrels. After the tank concentrated on projecting two rounds of kerosene balls, it started to project gunpowder barrels again, and the gunpowder barrels were thrown at the cavalry one after another.
explosion in.
At this time, the results of the explosion of the gunpowder barrels were finally revealed. Groups of war horses began to fall down without warning, foaming at the mouth, limbs twitching, and the poison in their bodies broke out.
In the blink of an eye, more than 3,000 war horses fell. The consequences were very serious. The 3,000 heavily armored cavalry lost their combat effectiveness, but the horses continued to fall one after another.
At the same time, the 20,000 Donghu light cavalry were completely unable to defeat the 30,000 Western cavalry led by Liu Qiong, and showed signs of defeat.
The 30,000 infantrymen commanded by Li Cheng also lost more than 10,000 people. The armies of Yue Yun and Zhang Xian became more and more courageous as they fought. Although the 30,000 infantrymen resisted desperately, the infantrymen were inherently inferior and the enemy troops were retreating steadily.
All three lines showed signs of collapse.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wanyan Wushu immediately ordered the retreat bell to ring.
