Xiao Biser's decision to meet the battle was very correct, the current situation, his cavalry had just stabilized through the narrow valley, if he ordered to retreat at this time, it would inevitably form a congestion at the entrance of the narrow valley, causing chaos; And it is too late to retreat at this moment, and it will be a terrible price to be chased and killed by the enemy cavalry.

Therefore, although the opponent's cavalry is several times more than its own, although a head-on battle is not guaranteed to win, it is better than a hasty retreat without any ability to fight back.

In addition, Xiao Bise is a person with strong self-confidence, in his mind, the Song Army and the Xia Army are simply a group of scum with a combat strength of only five compared to the Great Liao Iron Cavalry, even if they fight more with less, they may not fail.

"The right team becomes the front team, forming a conical battle formation, attacking the enemy's left flank with all its might." Xiao Biser shouted.

The cavalry of the Liao army was not chaotic, and with the order to be issued, they all turned their horses to the right, Xiao Bise's intention was obvious, and it was a wise decision to concentrate on crushing the overwhelming enemy flank, which could break the cramped situation of being trapped by the enemy in a small area.

Unlike the Xia army like to use scimitars, the main weapon in the individual configuration of the cavalry of the Liao army is the iron long knife, at this moment the black long knife is like a forest Qingqi, accompanied by the sound of a loud horn, the cavalry of the Liao army let out a wolf-like roar, the right team urged the horse to start, and the back slowly followed, after a while, the whole team has converged into a roaring torrent, facing the left flank of the Xia army that is rushing towards the past.

Just like two surging waves collided violently, more than 1,000 steps of blood-red waves rippled on the enemy's surface, and the armies of the two fierce horses collided together without any fancy force, and the line of death where the two armies intersected, the sound of weapons intersecting, the sound of broken bones, the sound of knives and guns entering the flesh, the whimpering of war horses, and the screams and shouts of the soldiers resounded in the sky.

The cavalry of Xia and Liao is too sincere in the battle, if one side is the Song army, there must be a bow and arrow to block, and then will be short-handed, and these two armies boast of being invincible cavalry, once they step on horseback and start fighting, they suddenly have the momentum of looking down on the world, and I don't know where this confidence comes from, but because of this, it has created such a shocking battle scene.

The cavalry in the ambush of Kedun City is the Youzhou Jianing Army that arrived four days ago after a long journey, and the commander of the Jianing Army is Li Jiqian, who was very close to the Yeli clan, a long time ago, he was Yuan Hao's henchman, and later after the eldest prince Li Ningming was captured, Li Jiqian, who supported Li Ningming, quickly hiberned to protect himself, and did not hide Li Jiqian during the reign of Pang to skillfully protect himself and keep the position of the commander of the Youzhou Jianing Army; When the Empress Dowager Yeli seized power, Li Jiqian resumed his activity.

Yeli Dulan did not take Li Jiqian as an outsider, and she also told Li Jiqian all the secret agreements between him and Su Jin, so when he wanted to give up Youzhou and go north to meet the enemy, Li Jiqian did not say a word and quickly went north with 50,000 Jianing army cavalry, and traveled more than 2,000 miles day and night, and finally arrived here before the Liao people captured Kedun City, rested for four days in a place that was difficult to see in the south of Kedun City, and after the enemy's vanguard of 10,000 people crossed the valley, he waved his army and killed it.

"Commander Li, the Liao army is on the offensive fiercely, and the left flank is on the verge of rout." A general hurriedly reported to Li Jiqian, who was in the cavalry on the right flank.

Li Jiqian frowned and shouted: "There are 20,000 cavalry on the left flank, and the enemy only has 10,000, how can they be defeated?" Tell Lang Shan Ye, dare to take a step back, and punish his whole clan! ”

The adjutant general hurriedly ordered the herald to play the flag to convey the order, and at the same time, Li Jiqian gave a loud order: "Change the direction, attack the middle of the enemy's abdomen, and cut off the enemy's way to the left flank." ”

The 30,000 cavalry on the right flank slightly adjusted their direction, and their speed did not decrease, and they rushed straight towards the middle of the cone-shaped enemy formation.

The frontal battlefield has been a one-sided situation, the Liao cavalry is unstoppable, Xiao Bise waved the mace to take the lead, the stick swept down, there was no general under his hands, the mace was stained with flesh and blood fragments, dripping with blood, under his leadership, the cavalry behind him quickly advanced, tearing the camp of the Xia army open.

Just when Xiao Bise thought that he would be able to break through the enemy formation on the left flank immediately, he suddenly found that the cavalry around him was getting fewer and fewer, and when he turned his head to look, there were only about two or three thousand cavalry rushing out behind him.

"What's going on?" Xiao Bise scolded angrily.

"General, the enemy's right flank reinforcements have arrived, and the brother formation behind has been cut off, and they can't be killed." A lieutenant general, whose face was covered in blood, replied.

"Stupid, stupid, actually wrapped dumplings, leave them alone, follow Ben will rush forward, rush through the dirt slope in front of us can get out of danger, when the time comes, rush west around the mountains and return to the Gobi, the Xia people don't chase it, if you dare to chase, the whole army will be wiped out, the king's army is on the way."

Xiao Bise waved his mace and pointed ahead, urging his mount and said, "Sons, come with me." ”

Someone asked, "What about the brothers in the back?" They were surrounded. ”

Xiao Bise said: "They can only ask for more blessings, how can they be afraid of death and fear of the enemy when they break through, the reason why they are cut off in the back is because they don't want to rush to the front to take the lead, what is it called to put them to death and live later?" We are put to death and then lived, the more atrophied and afraid of death when we fight, it is he who is the one who has gained experience from this general Rong Ma for many years, the more you are not afraid of death, the less you will die. Boys, rush with me, and the ones behind will catch up. ”

The soldiers suddenly agreed, urging the horses to gallop west behind Xiao Bise, and the cavalry of the Xia army behind them and on both sides rolled and chased, but it seemed that the horsepower of the Xia army was not as fast as the war horses of the Liao army, and they were soon thrown far away, and they could only watch Xiao Bise take two thousand cavalry away.

Li Jiqian, who learned the news, scolded angrily, sprinkled all his anger on the besieged five thousand Liao army cavalry, and ordered them to be killed without leaving them all, the besieged Liao soldiers had already dismounted and surrendered, or were cut off their heads one by one, Li Jiqian of course was not blindly easy to kill, he was angry, and he came because there was no food to feed these captives.

This big battle happened suddenly, ended quickly, in just one hour, the Xia army attacked it unprepared, with 50,000 superior troops to annihilate more than 7,000 of the 10,000 Liao army's forward army, and paid the price of more than 2,000 people, which was a great victory.

But Li Jiqian was very dissatisfied, the superior forces, the unexpected timing, the excellent siege terrain, in this case, actually let the enemy commander lead 2,000 people to break through, this is the left wing of the Lang Shan Ye fault, the battlefield has not been cleaned up, Li Jiqian will Lang Shan Ye in front of the soldiers to beat 30 military sticks to show punishment.

In fact, Li Jiqian knew in his heart that it was not because he was incompetent, but because there was still a certain gap between the overall combat strength of the Xia army and the Liao army, and for a long time, the Xia army had a serious shortage of food and wages, the training and military discipline in the army were somewhat loose, and the combat effectiveness had also declined greatly.

Li Jiqian decided to report the situation of the first battle as soon as possible, and it was a fact that his combat strength was not good, and he must not misjudge the situation and suffer losses in the subsequent battles, and if he fought with the same number of people, his side would definitely be defeated.

Nearly 8,000 corpses were piled up on several hills and set on fire, soaked in blood on the ground and trampled by the horse's hooves to form a pulp, which soon froze into red lumps.

An hour later, the battlefield was cleaned up, the Xia army collected troops and returned to the camp, the battlefield that was originally crowded with people instantly became lonely and empty, the black smoke of burning corpses rose into the sky, emitting a pungent burnt smell, more than a dozen vultures in the sky began to circle, ready to enjoy the feast, the knife-like cold north wind blew on the earth, making a terrible howl like a soul.

……

In the northwest direction of Kedun City, Xiao Bise, who led his troops to run wildly, was rapidly heading north along the foot of the mountain, bypassing this small hill to reach the Gobi Desert in the north, he wanted to quickly meet with Xiao Hui's army to inform him of the situation here, and he was thinking all the way, why did so many Xia defenders suddenly appear in this remote place of Kedun City? And it seems to be prepared, there must be a reason for this, he can't figure it out and can't guess it, although he doesn't know much about the entire battle plan for attacking the Xia State, but he knows the big strategy, what about the Song army that said that the Liao army would break through? said that the Song army was cannon fodder, and Daliao picked up cheap?

There is a faint smell of conspiracy here, Xiao Bise can't figure it out, so he has to hurry up and report to King Xiao, who has superior wisdom, if he can figure out what is going on, the loss of this battle can be regarded as valuable.

Bypassing the side of the mountain, there is already an endless Gobi in front of him, and on the Gobi, he can reach the march route of the army by detouring fifty or sixty miles to the east, although the war horse has been foaming at the mouth, and gradually there is a sign of physical exhaustion, but Xiao Biser still mercilessly whipped the horsewhip on the horse's buttocks, and neighed and ordered the soldiers behind him to follow closely.

At the moment when he stepped on the gravel-covered Gobi Desert, Xiao Bisse felt as if he was dazzled, because he suddenly found that thousands of men and horses were rushing towards him not far ahead, and this was the second time he had seen such a situation today.

In Xiao Bise's stunned expression, the people and horses on the opposite side were already overwhelming, and they easily blocked his two thousand men and horses, this is not a mirage, this is the real army of the Xia Kingdom, looking at the eyes full of black pressure and not seeing the light of day, the number of people is probably as many as 80,000 to 100,000.

Before Xiao Biser could figure out what was going on, the enemy army had already scattered his poor two thousand soldiers with lightning speed, and the wailing sound was repeated repeatedly, almost powerless, as if being choked by the throat of a giant, and the two thousand soldiers died in an instant.

Xiao Bise suddenly became wise and psychic, and a desperate thought flashed in his mind: "The Xia people are not small, so many troops have gathered, this is to annihilate the vanguard army in one fell swoop, King Xiao...... King Xiao is in danger! ”
