Chapter 853 Tiger Prison Closes

The capture of Huanglong Mansion is the biggest benefit of Ding**** is that you no longer have to worry about baggage, especially arrows, which have survived countless in the Tiger Prison Pass. Both the Jurchens and the Khitan belong to nomadic peoples, and almost everyone on horseback can ride and shoot, so whenever they fight, the Jurchens have an incomparably huge demand for bows and arrows. A long time ago, Wanyan Zongwang expected that he would start a decisive battle with Ding ****, so he asked people to store bows and arrows early for emergencies, but he didn't expect Huanglong Mansion to be occupied, and all the previous deposits were cheaper Ding ****. When attacking Liaoyang Mansion, Yelu Dashi did not pour out the bow and arrows, he has been enduring it, this kind of strategy can only be used once, once the enemy is on guard, it will not be lethal. Now the Jurchen cavalry is pouring in, thinking of an impenetrable dark cloud, the rain of arrows pouring down, it is too easy to find the target, so Yelu Dashi released his last killer weapon. There were too many arrows stored in the Huanglong Mansion, and the rain of arrows continued, directly blocking the distance of fifty zhang in front of them, which lasted for almost a quarter of an hour. In this quarter of an hour, I don't know how many girls and true cavalry fell in the death zone of fifty zhang.

Wanyan Zongxi's war horse was nailed to the ground and his shoulder was also wounded, but once the cavalry charged, it was difficult to hold back, so he could only rush forward. It was impossible to turn back, Wanyan Zongxi gritted his teeth and turned over again, raised his arms and shouted, "Sons, the Han people can't hold on, work harder, rush over, as long as you rush over, it will be difficult for the Han people to block our swords and guns." ”

Wanyan Zongxi was doing everything possible to boost morale, his roar was still very effective, and the slightly messy impact formation was regrouped, just looking at the death moat in front of him, his heart was a little weak. At a distance of fifty zhang, the corpses of the Jurchen warriors were densely packed. In just a short time, more than 5,000 elite cavalry were lost, and this was simply a struggle to drill into hell. Many Jurchens have been stunned by the scene in front of them, they have not advanced in the rain of arrows before, but when have they seen such a fierce and domineering group of bows and arrows, the rain of arrows directly blocked the distance of fifty zhang. And keep throwing, how many arrows does it take, and some of the corpses of those Jurchen warriors have turned into hedgehogs, which is really terrifying. Yelu Dashi's ruthless move had a strong deterrent effect, and the Jurchens stopped for a long time before they regained the courage to cross the fifty-zhang death zone under the leadership of Wanyan Zongbi. They carefully controlled the war horses, but this time the arrow rain did not fall, the reason is very simple, Yelu Dashi, a loser, was too thorough. When rushing through the danger zone. The Jurchens regained their speed, and a thin fierce man brandished a steel knife and shouted, "Han dog, take your life!" ”

This Jurchen cavalry was really brave enough, he raised his speed, and actually rushed to the front of Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Zongxi, and the galloping war horse had an amazing strength. Straight to the hearts of people. Seeing that he was about to meet the infantry formation of Ding****, he heard a few whistles. A few feet of turf splashed in front of him, and a thumb-thick rope was stretched, and the Jurchen soldier was so frightened that he didn't expect that the Han people would retreat in a hurry, and there would be a stumbling horse. These trips must have been prepared before the start of the war, otherwise how could they have been prepared so properly at such a time? Normally, cavalry charges will guard against the presence of tripping horses. But now the speed is the fastest, and it is so close that even if the gods come, they can't react, and the war horse stumbles on the tripwire, and then screams. Heavily planted forward, due to inertia, the war horse directly rose into the air, and immediately the knight was thrown out of the distance, and was directly thrown to the ground. There is the first tripline, there will be the second, it can be said that Yelu Dashi has set up several fortifications near Yizhou, from the beginning he knew that he could not stop the attack of the Jurchens, 30,000 foot soldiers to resist more than 20,000 Jurchen elite cavalry, or on the grassland, as long as he is not a madman, he will not feel that he can succeed. Therefore, Yelu Dashi had already thought about how to retreat, stumbling on horses, rejecting horses, and raining arrows, as long as he could stop the cavalry, he used all of them.

The sudden appearance of the stumbling rope can make the Jurchen pit not light, and many Jurchen soldiers fell off their horses and were forced to die. The Jurchen cavalry could only slow down, and under the command of Wanyan Zongbi, most of the Jurchen cavalry began to divide their troops and slaughter the Ding**** soldiers near the stumbling horses. In order to stumble, the **** paid a certain amount of casualties, but the effect was obvious, and the cavalry that lost their speed wanted to charge again, but it took time. finally crossed the tripping rope, but Wanyan Zongbi found that the **** had withdrawn, and the **** was withdrawn quickly, and the distance of three miles was given to the Jurchens in the blink of an eye. Wanyan Zongbi could only sigh helplessly, the **** withdrawal was too decisive, and he didn't give the Jurchen warriors a chance to be entangled at all, but it was too decisive, and the scene in front of him always had a sense of déjà vu. Wanyan Zongbi didn't know what the problem was, but he just felt deeply uneasy, "Order the left and right flanks to slow down, move closer to the center, and send an order to Gut Suha not to attack lightly, in case the Han people change their formation and divide." ”

How powerful is the battle formation of Ding****, Wanyan Zongbi has seen it many times, don't look at the fact that the four phalanxes are retreating step by step, but as long as there is an opportunity, the four phalanxes will quickly cooperate and stagger each other, surrounding the enemy forces in depth. The most typical thing is what happened outside Changchun Prefecture at the beginning, when the Jurchen warriors were almost dumplings by the Han people's battle formation method. Not long after Yan Zongbi's order was conveyed, Gut Suha hurriedly slowed down, but in this way, the **** foot soldiers could retreat calmly. Along the road of retreat, the Jurchens kept moving forward, and they didn't encounter any resistance any further.

Wanyan Zongwang has been watching from the rear, and he is not a stranger to Yelu Dashi, so he knows a little bit. At that time, the two heroes of the Great Liao clan, Yelu Dashi and Yelu Yujian, it can be said that Yelu Dashi was in charge of Xijing, holding more than 100,000 people who controlled the strings, and supported half of the Great Liao Kingdom alone. Will such a heroic figure be so defeated, the answer is no, Yelu Dashi must be plotting something. Seeing that the Jurchen cavalry continued to press forward, leaving patches of grassland behind them, suddenly, Wanyan Zongwang thought of something. He thought that when he came back from Bianliang City, he met the Seed Master Road in the area of the Baigou River, and the front of the Seed Army stumbled and blocked the enemy, and the battle in the rear was hidden underground and suddenly killed. But it was a great threat to the Jurchens. Could it be that today, Yelu Dashi also has to learn the way of the teacher? Huh, at the beginning, the Planter Dao failed to block the way back to the north of the Dajin Kingdom, but it does not mean that the tactics of the Planter Dao are wrong, because there are too few soldiers and horses under the command of the Planter Dao. Just when Wanyan Zongwang was uneasy in his heart, a sudden change appeared. Many heads suddenly poked out of the place where the Jurchen warriors had stepped on, these people had green grass rings on their heads, and huge shields in their hands, and those shields were also covered with turf, which seemed to be integrated with the grassland, no wonder the warriors did not find that these people were hiding underground, it was really too cunning. One by one, the **** warriors appeared in the rear of the cavalry, and they swung their knives to cut off the legs of their horses, and for a time the Jurchen cavalry suffered heavy losses. Many people even turned their horses' heads and wanted to slaughter these Han people who had been in rebellion first. Seeing this, Wanyan Zongwang secretly scolded stupidity, the cavalry is not afraid of slow speed, but afraid of different goals, some forward and some backward, once they collide, it is more terrible than trampling on each other by foot soldiers. These **** soldiers hiding behind the Jurchen cavalry are actually the characters of the death squads, when they choose to do so. knew how slim their hopes of survival were, but their strict tactical literacy allowed them to quickly assemble into a small phalanx behind the Jurchen cavalry.

An eerie scene appears on the battlefield. A small phalanx sandwiched between two Jurchen cavalry, doesn't this trap itself in the encirclement of others? However, all this is meaningful, when the Jurchens chose to exterminate these troublemakers, the four large formations in the easternmost **** chose to change, and the four phalanxes quickly formed two conical formations. Both sides were protected by heavy shields, and the incredibly long spears poked out again, slamming into the Jurchen cavalry one by one under the embrace of the foot soldiers, and the hook and sickle spears continued to poke out from the gaps in the shields. The Ding**** foot soldiers, who did not occupy too much advantage in numbers, actually launched a counterattack against the Jurchen cavalry, if they just heard from others. It would have been a big joke, but it was all true, and those who dared to put themselves in a desperate situation were either stupid or warriors. The warrior is like a tiger, and the momentum is like a rainbow, maybe this is the feeling of Wanyan Zongwang, a good Yelu big stone, layer by layer of obstacles constantly disrupting the formation of the Jurchen cavalry, and then brazenly launching a counterattack when the Jurchen cavalry is the weakest.

The decisive battle broke out at this moment, and the small phalanx that was encircled at this time did not look so ridiculous, but extremely respectable, because they dragged the hearts of more than 20,000 Jurchen cavalrymen with their lives. The crashing wood rushed out, this was a dozen people surrounded by the collision wood, where could the war horse withstand it, the ribs were directly broken, the sound of the bone breaking was clearly audible, after the cavalry on the war horse landed, some were hacked to death by random knives, and some were hooked and dragged into the back of the shield by the hook and sickle. The chaotic Jurchen cavalry couldn't rush up, and it was only at this time that the Jurchens understood why they would take the initiative to give up the strategic space of Sanlidi.

One by one, the Jurchen cavalry fell, and it seemed that the Jurchens were almost facing defeat, but this was the Jurchen elite cavalry, and they also hid a sense of arrogance, even if they failed, they would show their sharp fangs, chaotic battles, bloody slaughter, both sides had no reservations, only one purpose, to kill the enemy in front of them by all means. In his early years, Nalan Xi fought with Wanyan Agu, later with Wanyan Gao, and now with Wanyan Zongwang, it can be said that he has experienced the three military gods of the Dajin Kingdom, and many years of bloody battles have turned him into an iron-blooded veteran, but this time, he really felt that the end was coming. The knife in his hand was broken, and the two spears poked in the abdomen directly picked Nalan Yi off the horse, but Nalan Xi was very brave, I don't know where the strength came from, his hands were staggered, and with two clicks, the two spears were broken violently. Nalan Xi's bravery suppressed many people, but the crazy **** soldiers would not be intimidated, several people pounced together, some pulled their hair, some bit their throats, and fought to the death, Nalan Xi finally died because of the blood flowing.

Can the Jurchens still win? Many soldiers of the Dajin Kingdom have this question, but Wanyan Zongwang can only answer that he can definitely win, and he must be able to win, because now there is no way out of the Dajin Kingdom, but there are many ways to retreat. Just when the blood was flowing outside Yizhou City, Huining Mansion, which was hundreds of miles away, slowly opened the city gate, and no one knew what happened, but at this time, the opening of the city gate of Huining Mansion must not be a good thing. The battle outside Yizhou City was extremely fierce, after five hours of fierce fighting, almost all of the two sides became semi-crippled, the elite cavalry under the command of Wanyan Zongwang lost more than 17,000, and the elite infantry of Yelu Dashi also lost nearly 20,000, and both sides seemed to have no strength to continue fighting.

It was another sunset evening, and the clouds on the horizon merged with the blood on the grassland, and the red was heartbreaking. Wan Yan Zong looked at the horse and slowly walked on the soft grass, smelling the smell of earth mixed with the smell of blood, and he smiled bitterly. The battle has developed to this point, he knows that he will definitely lose, Zhao Yougong has not yet come, when Zhao Yougong arrives in person, the two sides are sandwiched, and the Jurchen warriors are difficult to fly. Of course, he can choose to escape after Yan Zongwang, as long as he flees south and enters Changbai Mountain, relying on the terrain, he can also rely on the soldiers and horses in his hands to be the king of the mountain for a few years, but is that the day he wants to complete Yan Zongwang?

Wanyan Zongwang was faced with a choice without a choice, and in the distant city of Luoyang, Chai Keyan was also facing a difficult choice. Just when the situation in the Central Plains was getting more and more favorable, there was a bad news near Luoyang. Lin Chong, Hu Yanqing and Yang Zhi, who disappeared on Hedong Road, suddenly crossed the Yellow River and attacked the Tiger Pass, because all the attention of the Chai soldiers and horses was put on the area of Gyeonggi Road, and Zhengzhou City was within the control of the Chai family, so most people ignored the Tiger Pass behind Zhengzhou, and the Tiger Pass guarded by more than 3,000 soldiers and horses.

Tiger Prison Pass, which used to be just a small pass, was named Tiger Prison Pass because King Zhou Mu was imprisoning tigers. Xiongguan is long, Songyue in the south, the Yellow River in the north, the mountains on both sides are staggered, the terrain is magnificent, in the late years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Lu Bu was fierce and fierce in the Tiger Pass, killed the heroes and changed color, not because of Lu Bu's bravery, but the majesty of the Tiger Pass, the steepness of this pass is not inferior to the Hangu Pass, it can be said to be the most important pass in Luoyang. is only a Tiger Prison Pass, but Ding **** has the possibility of crossing the Yellow River from the north and threatening Luoyang City directly from the Tiger Prison Pass. Chai Keyan was unwilling, at this moment, as long as he worked harder, he could break through the Chenzhou defense line formed by Xiao Zhiyun and Niu Gao, but he had to stop because of the tiger prison.

Lin Chong is worthy of being the Eight Tigers in Guanzhong, and he may have underestimated this person all along, but this person is no worse than Han Shizhong and Wu Jue when he fights. (To be continued.) )
