Jeruzaban is worthy of being a veteran who has fought for half his life, and his Xingsheng palace guards are also very brave and good at fighting, each cavalry team of 300 people, eleven cavalry teams charge from the left and right directions at the same time, and another cavalry team follows every 300 meters, braving the night to come up.

Wang Da was not a fledgling Wang Jiu and Wang 12, she had fought against the Western Xia army, the yellow-headed Uighur army, the yellow-headed Tatar army, and the Tubo army on the Ganliang Road, and the enemies she encountered were all cavalry-based, and she was more experienced than Hong Tao in how to restrain cavalry with infantry.

"Siege crossbow for fire oil bombs are fired at full range!" As soon as the other party began to charge, she gave the first command.

The three fire oil bombs were thrown 250 paces away by the leather pocket of the siege crossbow, and after they landed, they exploded into three fires, which could not be said to illuminate the entire battlefield, but the movement of the enemy's large forces could be vaguely seen.

"Change the thunderbolt and fire it immediately at the same distance!" Approaching Wang Da, he made a second choice, using the siege crossbow again to attack from a distance before the enemy cavalry was in effective range.

When the three thunderbolts exploded into three clouds of mist, all the Forces nouvelles soldiers lying behind cover and crouching in the box carts finally understood why the commander had shot so hastily.

These three thunderbolts were not meant to kill or injure the enemy, but to intimidate the enemy's horses. This purpose was indeed achieved, the huge roar and dazzling flash made the horses of the Khitan cavalry terrified, and they no longer accepted the control of the knights, some raised their front legs on the spot and screamed, and some turned to the sides to run.

Their loss of control not only directly caused the two cavalry teams in front to lose the sharpness of the charge, but also seriously interfered with the marching route of the cavalry behind them, and they had to slow down the speed of the charge.

This pause became the turning point of the whole battle, and every twenty seconds or so, three thunderbolts flew in a parabola, which not only frightened the horses, but also caused casualties.

The ignorant Khitan cavalry didn't know what the loud noise and light were coming from, let alone where to hide, and they didn't have a clarion call to retreat, so they could only dodge the scattered and fleeing war horses in front of them as a live target.

It was the first time that Jeruzaban had seen this kind of weapon, and he originally thought it was a large firecracker made by the Song Dynasty army, just to intimidate the horses, but he didn't think that this thing was not slower than a bow and arrow, and it was a bit sticky to the rhythm of death and death. One shot also fell into the middle of the cavalry, and directly put down more than a dozen war horses, and blew the cavalry into two.

So the old Khitan general made a second mistake, he ordered the cavalry to retreat, intending to regroup, and let the soldiers cover the ears and eyes of the horses before charging. As long as the war horses don't get out of control, a few hundred more people will not help.

If the brothers Rindo and Rendo were present, even if more than half of the cavalry were killed or wounded, they would not have given the order to retreat, as long as the cavalry was close to the new army, the battle would have been basically won.

It's a pity that none of the generals who have seen how the new army fought survived, some died on the battlefield, and the other part was thrown into the mines to mine, which is still the worst-paid and most dangerous job.

If it weren't for the fact that people at this time thought that the large number of prisoners killed was unknown, Hong Tao would have wanted to kill them all. The more such people there are, the more detrimental it will be to the operations of the Forces nouvelles after that.

If some of the generals of the Liao State were familiar with the tactics of the new army, then they would not dare to go deep alone if they gave Hong Tao 30,000 new troops. The bullying is that I don't understand, I don't know, I can't imagine and I can't calculate, I know it, let's play a fart!

Jeruzaban suffered an unknown loss, and when he put his cavalry in order, blindfolded the horse's eyes and ears, the number of box carts on the new army's position tripled, and the number of soldiers tripled.

Wang Qi saw that the speed at which the engineers were fixing the bolts between the wooden planks of the improvised bridge was too slow, so he simply took the lead in jumping into the icy river and carrying the wooden planks on his shoulders.

In this way, the number of bridges over the creek was increased by three in an instant, and in addition to the box trucks having to pass over the bridges that had been fixed before, the soldiers of the new army could run lightly over these improvised bridges carried by the engineers on their shoulders and quickly plunge into the battle on the other side of the river.

At this time, the Xingsheng Palace cavalry also made a comeback, and the speed was faster than the first time. The cavalrymen hated the Song soldiers who hid behind the carriages by the river, because they were terrified of their horses, and the herdsmen always regarded the horses as family.

Now the family members also have to be blindfolded and blindfolded, which is so infuriating. They had to turn their anger into a more ferocious charge, and use bows and arrows and iron bones to let the Song people know that it was not enough to be moved, and that fighting a war would depend on the skill and fearless courage of the bow and horse.

Unfortunately, the skilful and fearless courage of the bow horse suddenly failed, and the enemy, as if knowing that the horse's eyes and ears were blindfolded, no longer threw anything that could make a loud noise, but instead hid in the carriage and behind the mound and fired a huge arrow that was too fast to see, dense to dodge, and easy to see.

No matter how fast the war horse, no matter how skillful the horsemanship, no matter how neat the armor, in front of this kind of fire, sharp whistling giant arrow, as long as it is shot, whether it is a man or a horse fall to the ground and die.

The first and second cavalry disappeared among the countless meteors, and the fate of the third and fourth cavalry was exactly the same, when the roar of the fifth and sixth cavalry dispelled the fear in their hearts, and they planned to rush in while the meteors were intermittent, the enemy's meteors did not stop, but were more numerous.

The entire eight cavalry teams, more than 2,000 excellent Khitan athletes, were stunned and didn't even see what color the enemy's armor was, most of them were shot within the last 200 meters of the charge, and a few rushed to the range of bows and arrows.

Some people shoot the last arrow of their lives, and some people have several crossbow arrows stuck in their bows before they can fully draw them. These Song people are so bad that even the crossbow arrows they use are gloomy and gray. These Song people are also too rich, featherless steel crossbows, how much does this cost a piece, they are all losers!

"Handsome! Handsome! "Jeruzaban didn't have to listen to the report of the cavalry general who had escaped by chance, he had already seen what was happening on the battlefield, and without saying a word, he fell directly from his horse.

One foot was still hanging on the stirrup, and if it weren't for the guards' quick eyes, the old general would have to be dragged by his own war horse for a while, and he would definitely die.

It seems that Hong Tao's trial production of nitroglycerin is still very rich, and the number of politicians and generals suffering from hypertension and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in this year is really quite large.

Jeruzaban saw that his sons and nephews did not even have a chance to retreat, and they were disabled by the enemy in a single charge, either their blood pressure soared, or any blood vessel was blocked, and there was no special medicine, even if they were rescued, they would probably spend the rest of their lives with their mouths crooked and their eyes shaking and their hands shaking.

"Stop the charge! The handsome man is ...... Enemy Attack ...... Enemy...... Uh......" Just as the guards were rushing to rescue their commander, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind the side.

The deputy general instinctively roared, this is who doesn't have long eyes and is good at advocating and initiating a charge, and is there a little bit of organizational discipline, even if the commander is gone, it should be himself who gives orders.

But before he could finish his words, he saw a large number of cavalry rolling over from the northwest. It was as if they had come out of the ground, and it was only a moment from hearing the sound of horses' hooves to entering the range of bows and arrows, and then there was an overwhelming rain of arrows.

The enemy seemed to never end, and the lieutenant, who had been hit by three steel crossbows, lay on the ground and fell several times, and could still hear the rumble of the earth being trampled by the hooves of horses.

While swallowing his last breath, he suddenly thought of a question, so many enemies suddenly appeared in the hinterland of the border, so why didn't any of the military villages on the border call the police? Could it be that the enemy is not the Song people, it is really a devil who came out of hell!

It's not the devil, but the arsonist Miao Kui's Western Route Army has arrived. He set out from Xincheng with 10,000 light horsemen, and caught a small group of Xincheng's scouts along the way. Those unlucky people didn't know what was going on, and were about to go back to participate in the firefighting, but they ended up being the guides of the Western Route Army.

With the Youzhou Han soldiers, who were familiar with the land and had no language barriers, to lead the way, Miao Kui did not follow the path on the map, but chose this road that was a little far away but there were no rivers and Liao military villages along the way, and as a result, he heard the sound of thunderbolts.

There is no need to guess that he also knows that it was Wang Da's middle route army that has encountered a strong enemy, otherwise he would not rashly use thunderbolts, which would suck all the nearby Liao troops over.

At this time, it is definitely impossible to go to Gu'an City to meet according to the original plan, and the horse once said that the generals who will not choose their own fighters on the battlefield are at best the head of the capital, and no matter how high the position is, it is harmful to others and themselves. The ancients also said this in the art of war, and the soldiers are treacherous!

So Miao Kui made a trick, ordered the special forces to divide into several teams to rush forward to clear the enemy's horses, and then divided the team into two groups, dismounted and walked at a distance where they could see the battlefield, it didn't matter if they were slow, just to be as close as possible to the enemy's headquarters. He wants to eat the enemy in one bite, and it is easy to startle the snake if he charges too far.

Wang Da's ability to command combat knew that since he had used all the thunderbolts, he would definitely not be easily defeated, and he would be able to resist for a while in exchange for total annihilation.

Both of them will use treacherous commanders, plus a Khitan veteran who has a lot of combat experience but no understanding of the new army, and the three groups of people and horses jointly performed a short and fast resistance battle, a rout battle and a war of annihilation.

The four thousand Khitan elites were first knocked out of their teeth and claws by Wang Da's ferocious defensive firepower, and before the blood stopped, they were completely cut by Miao Kui's arrow rain and scissor-shaped horse team.

But most of it was harvested by the light cavalry who charged diagonally from both the west and north. A small number of them did not have a long memory, and ran to the river in a panic, intending to use the river to intercept the pursuers. They were greeted by a dense rain of arrows, and at this time there were no more than a few hundred new troops on the bank of the river, but three thousand.
