Nearly 10,000 Liao army iron cavalry attacked at full speed, but the western army was slightly empty in the front middle lane because they had to fill the four corners of the support, no matter how you looked, they were already in danger.

But the two elders of the self-planted family, down to every soldier of the Western Army, did not show the slightest fear, and what is even more strange is that the several rows of shield soldiers at the front of the army formation did not wait for the enemy to kill, but they had automatically dispersed and retreated, completely exposing the rear team in front of the Liao army's iron cavalry.

This scene suddenly appeared, which made many Liao cavalry generals who were riding their horses to rush to the front line feel surprised and faintly uneasy. They can see that this Song army is far from collapsing, so they must have a deep meaning in doing so, but what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?

The answer to this question was naturally impossible to see for a while, and the impact of the Liao army's iron cavalry was too fast to keep up with the rotation of their minds, and only a short moment later, they had already killed in front of the Song army.

At the same time, the seed division in the Chinese army had already roared angrily: "Go to the sword formation, kill!" ”

"Boom-hoo!" At this time, the swordsmen who were already at the forefront of the battle formation rolled forward almost at the same time, flying out like toads walking on the ground, killing those iron horses in reverse, and the steel knives in their hands also bloomed at this moment with a dazzling cold light, more than half a foot from the ground, and slashed straight forward. Their figures and steps have a strong rhythm, and the angle of advance is also extremely tricky, coupled with the suddenness of the incident, the Liao army iron cavalry has completely failed to pose the slightest threat to them.

But the knives in their hands inflicted unexpected heavy damage on the Liao army, and the blood was shining everywhere, and the sound of sorrow and neighing kept spewing out from the mouths of the horses that were also covered with armor and seemed to be difficult to injure with knives and guns. Although these horses were armoured, the lower limbs were still exposed, and it was this flaw that the swords of the Western army had slashed.

The sharpest steel knife slashed at the horse's legs, which were moving forward, like an axe chopping firewood, and it was cut off on the spot with almost no delay. As long as one horse's leg is broken, the entire war horse and the cavalry above will lose its balance in an instant, and then fall to the ground fiercely.

And these thousands of swordsmen have already memorized this set of tactics, and the knives are carried with them, and there is no trace of drag, so they meet the enemy's cavalry coming, constantly swords, cutting the horse's legs. In just a few moments, no less than two or three thousand horsemen fell to the ground with a bang.

As mentioned before, the impact of these heavy horses is certainly powerful, but it also has its many hidden dangers, among which the difficulty of getting up at the first time after falling off the horse is the most serious point. Dozens of pounds of heavy armor on his body, and he was suddenly thrown to the ground, Rao was a little dazed for a short time with the strong physique of these Liao people.

At this time, the Song army in the rear had already surrounded and killed, and countless swords and guns were raised at the same time, slashing and stabbing with all their might. Even though they were wearing thick iron armor, there was a gap to take advantage of, and they were quickly killed on the spot.

This change instantly shocked countless Liao troops, so that the momentum of the Liao army's foot soldiers who had been following closely subconsciously slowed down, and those iron horsemen who had not yet been cut off also turned to dodge, not daring to meet those sword soldiers who were killing in one go. In the rear barracks, Yelu Xiongge, who saw all this, was even more dumbfounded, only to feel that his heart was dripping blood. The ups and downs of this battle were too sudden, too fast, how could there be such a change?

He didn't know that after all, he still underestimated the Western army in front of him that was the most proficient at fighting and had the most combat experience. Good warfare has been shown before, and the experience comes from the fact that they have been fighting against the Western Xia for many years, so the Western army really has considerable experience in dealing with cavalry.

Although due to national strength and other reasons, Xixia could not come up with an elite heavy cavalry that could be compared with the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, but their Iron Harrier was actually a weakened version of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, or the two sides had the meaning of learning from each other. It is precisely because of the big losses suffered by the Iron Harrier that the Western Army has trained such a ground knife formation that specializes in restraining the heavy cavalry. Although this formation is not so pretty, it is aimed at the biggest weakness of the heavy cavalry, and a four-legged horse with only one leg will make a cavalryman completely incapacitated.

It is precisely because they have such a means of defeating the enemy that the generals of the Western Army did not panic at all when they saw this fierce Xuanjia Iron Cavalry.

The Iron Cavalry failed to break the formation, but suffered heavy casualties of its own, which made the main general Gemetan even more annoyed. Being escaped by the Song general before had made him feel that his face was gone, and now that this situation was like this, it naturally made him even more annoyed and angry, although he also quickly turned to dodge like everyone else, but his eyes still paid attention to the movements of those sword soldiers.

After running out for a while, he had decisively adjusted his direction, but this time he no longer attacked the Song army's battle formation, but killed the sword soldiers who had separated and continued to pursue the iron cavalry from the oblique stab. Approaching, with a shout, the sledgehammer swept down, hitting a person in the chest.

The soldier didn't have time to dodge before he was knocked off the ground, and when the blood spurted wildly and landed again, there was no sound. And Ge Motan's momentum did not decrease but increased at this moment, so he screamed strangely, brandished the sledgehammer in his hand, and began to strangle these knife soldiers.

There are also other Iron Riders who have changed their tactics. After all, they are all elites in a thousand, even if they were frustrated in the first battle, they were not timid, but quickly came up with countermeasures. As one person began to hang on the side of the horse and swooped down towards the Song army, the others also began to follow suit and launched a crazy revenge against these sword soldiers.

Just now, these cavalry couldn't hurt the sword soldiers who went to the ground, and the sword soldiers in the sword formation attacked because they were sitting upright. But now, with their bodies pressing down so hard that the knives in their hands can almost collide with the ground, their attacks can finally pose a great threat to the knife soldiers.

Suddenly, the battle situation was reversed again, and hundreds of the thousands of sword soldiers who had gone out of the battle had been killed, and it was difficult for others to pose any threat to the Liao army. Seeing this, there could only be a sigh among the planters: "Sound the horn to collect the troops and call them back!" "I really can't imagine that these Liao troops reacted so quickly, and they broke their own sword formation without letting themselves take much advantage.

One long and two short horns sounded together, those sword soldiers who still wanted to support quickly walked back, and at the same time, tens of thousands of spearmen in the Song army's array also decisively met and rushed straight to those Liao army iron cavalry who still wanted to pursue. In the face of the large array of spears pressed like a forest, even the iron cavalry did not dare to risk attacking, so they could only turn and run to the sides again.

However, the danger alarm of the western army has not yet been lifted, because at this moment, the infantry of the Liao army has also been killed, and with the sound of the horn, the Liao army with the same strength has also pressed on and attacked head-on.

For a time, the two armies faced off again, but this time there was almost no trickery to speak of, and the Western Army could only rely on its own years of combat experience and unyielding fighting spirit to do the most dangerous and cruel fight with the Liao army, which was more elite and good at fighting than itself.

The sound of killing shook the sky, people kept falling, blood kept flowing, and even the pouring rain could not wash away the blood and water that had gathered, but could only make it accumulate more and more. Spears, knives, shields, sledgehammers...... All kinds of weapons are greeted directly at the enemy's body in an orderly or chaotic manner......

On the surface, the Western Army really blocked the frontal onslaught of the Liao Army, but in fact, their situation became dangerous as the battle progressed. Because the previous Liao cavalry had turned around one after another, and a new round of attacks on the empty places in the corners behind them had started again, and at the same time, there were also those Xuanjia iron cavalry that ran to both sides and then turned around and rushed back, their momentum was even twice as fast as that of the light cavalry.

Facing the enemy on three sides, or even on all sides, the western army suddenly fell into an unprecedented dangerous situation, and the Song generals in the rear barracks were so nervous that their faces turned pale, and many people unconsciously clenched the hilt of the sword at their waists, thinking that if they were in it, they would have already despaired.

Sun Tu almost crushed the handle of the saber. He could see that this battle had reached the last moment of life and death, and if there were no more variables, the Western Army might really be defeated by the Liao Army, and at that time, maybe the entire Northern Expedition would end in failure.

Even if he knew the direction of the wheel of history, even if he knew the little Jiujiu in Tong Guan's heart, Sun Tu also resolutely strode towards this former benefactor, he wanted to give it a go, not only for the plea of the second elder of the family to himself that day, but also for the countless Han soldiers and civilians in the rear, for the sake of this Chinese inheritance!

"Tong Shuai, if we don't send troops to rescue at this time, our army will definitely be defeated!" Sun Tu stood in front of Tong Guan, and a loud roar was like this spring thunder, which shocked all the generals around him, and everyone took their eyes back from the battlefield in front of them, staring at him with eyes like they had seen a ghost, this guy is crazy, right?

Who doesn't know what Tong Shuai is planning? Who doesn't know that now the whole army is actually terrified to death, and at this time he actually urged Tong Shuai to order the march, isn't this breaking ground on Tai Sui's head?

It was Tong Guan, and there was a touch of surprise in his expression, and then he squinted at Sun Tu: "Sun Qianli, what do you mean?" ”

"If you want to win and take Youzhou, you have to fight!" Sun Tu looked directly into the other party's eyes and replied loudly: "Or is it that Tong Shuai is afraid and doesn't dare to fight with the Liao army again?" ”

"Grandpa, let me lead the cavalry to attack again, I'll stop them!" Seeing that the cavalry of the Liao Army was already raging in the rear, the Central Military Department of the Western Army was also in a hurry and asked for battle.

But the planter did not look at him, but looked at his brother on the side. And after looking at the battle situation of the two armies that were still strangled in front of him, he suddenly spoke: "Seed scripture obeys orders——! ”
