Chapter 818: Serial Horse
The city of Bazhou was broken, and Li Zhun's army seemed to be smooth sailing, but at this time, in the territory of Yizhou in the west, Meng Gongzuo's army finally arrived.
Meng Gongzuo's army and Di Qing's army met at the foot of Taihang Mountain, and Di Qing had already made preparations, because he knew that the capture of Yi County was actually to let his army come here and wait for Meng Gongzuo.
Di Qing and Meng Gongzuo are no longer strange opponents, the two fought in Xinzhou, that time Di Qing in front of Meng Gongzuo, like a milky hairy boy, was confused by Meng Gongzuo's several division of troops, and finally the emperor Zhao Quan in Taiyuan was almost succeeded by the Liao army because of Di Qing's mistakes.
So this time, Di Qing was full of strength and wanted to compete with Meng Gong in a dignified manner, but ...... Where is Meng Gongzuo so easy to deal with?
After the two armies met, Meng Gong waved his hand, and then the soldiers of the Liao State were in units of hundreds, and the two locked iron chains with each other.
"Serial horses!" Di Qing was shocked when he saw it, and then immediately said to Yang Paifeng: "Paifeng, this is a chain horse of the Liao Kingdom, the impact is very powerful, and it cannot be underestimated!" ”
Yang Paifeng is the girl of the Yang family, where does she not know the strength of this chain of horses?
But knowing it, it doesn't mean that you can crack it, especially in the face of the powerful Liao cavalry!
The Liao army rushed over, Di Qing and all the soldiers of the An Dynasty, and then shouted angrily to hedge with the Liao army, but the power of the chain horse was too strong, and this time, Di Qing was defeated again.
Both sides were 200,000 cavalry, but the combat effectiveness was obviously not of a grade, and after the hedging, Di Qing and Yang Paifeng's men and horses were scattered.
In just one round, the An army suffered countless casualties, Di Qing was shocked when he saw it, and then let the standard-bearers around him wave the banner and retreat to the eastern plain.
Yang Paifeng didn't dare to fight, and led his men and Di Qing to flee in two ways.
Meng Gong waved his hand, and the Liao army chased after them separately, and when they reached the plain, which was more conducive to the play of the Liao cavalry, the Liao army covered up and killed, and finally Yang Paifeng fled to the Wolf Mountain with only 5,000 soldiers.
And Di Qing led more than 100,000 horses to retreat to Yi County, only to find that Yang Paifeng was gone, so Di Qing was shocked, and took the men and horses to the southwest to find Yang Paifeng.
In the Wolf Mountain, Yang Paifeng's 5,000 men and horses were chased by tens of thousands of Liao troops.
It definitely won't work like this! It's going to be wiped out!
Yang Paifeng was in a hurry, and led the army into the woods under the mountain, and then Yang Paifeng turned over and dismounted, and said to the soldiers: "The Liao army is strong, and the chain of horses is really difficult to crack, but ...... First of all, we are hiding in the woods, and they don't know about us, which is an advantage! ”
"How do you turn this advantage into a victory?" Yang Paifeng looked at the soldiers, and then ordered: "Everyone listen to me, all dismount, tie the horses to the tree, and then tie the saber in your hand with a cloth belt!" ”
The soldiers threw away their spears according to Yang Paifeng's words, then drew their sabers one by one, tore off the cuffs on their armor, and tied the saber to their hands.
After doing this, Yang Paifeng said: "Listen, everyone, the chain horses can't be cracked on the horse, but they can be cracked in the mountains and forests!" Wait until everyone scatters and hides behind trees or in the grass, as long as the horses of the Liao Kingdom come in, they will cut off the legs of the horses for me! ”
Chopping off the horse's legs, this is indeed the only killing move of the infantry against the cavalry in the era of cold weapons, and now it ...... Yang Paifeng is now learning and using this trick to deal with the chain chain horse of the Liao State!
The soldiers hid in the mountains and forests according to Yang Paifeng's deployment, and then the Liao army really came into the mountains and forests to sweep, but the problem of the chain horses had just entered the mountains and forests.
The mountains and forests are full of big trees, and the chain horses are tall and large, and they are tied by iron chains in the middle, and the big trees naturally block their way.
So the Liao army had no choice but to break the chains, and then rushed into the woods to pursue.
Here it comes!
Yang Paifeng's eyes were cold, and after most of the Liao army's men and horses had passed through the grass where she was hiding, Yang Paifeng suddenly cut off a pair of horses' hind legs from the grass with a knife, and then immediately got into the grass again.
After the horse's hind legs were cut off, it fell behind him with a scream, and the soldiers of the Liao State also fell backwards.
As soon as he landed, the soldier died under the sudden outstretched blade.
Such a scene can be seen everywhere in the mountains and forests, for a time the soldiers and horses of the Liao army are miserable, and the wails of people in the mountains and forests and the neighing of horses are intertwined with each other, startling flocks of birds.
The movement on the side of Wolf Mountain also attracted Di Qing's attention, and he immediately led the soldiers to rush here. And those Liao soldiers who were waiting outside the mountains and forests heard the movement inside the mountains and forests, and they all looked at each other.
It wasn't until a part of the Liao army rode horses and saw that the situation was wrong and escaped from the woods that the Liao army understood the situation in the woods.
The woods have always been a nightmare for cavalry, where would they dare to go into the woods this time?
So the Liao army went to the north to find Meng Gong to join the army, and after waiting for a long time, Yang Paifeng waited for Di Qing, and then saw that Yang Paifeng was intact, Di Qing revealed his true feelings, regardless of the soldiers under his hand, he hugged her in his arms!
Yang Paifeng embarrassedly broke free from Di Qing's embrace, and then said to Di Qing: "The chain horses of the Liao Kingdom are really powerful, if I don't find this forest this time, and then use the tactic of cutting off the horse's legs, I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat them!" ”
Chop off a horse's leg?
Di Qing listened, and looked thoughtfully at the horses in the woods that were lying on the ground panting and dying because their legs had been cut off, and after a while, Di Qing ordered: "These horses are also good men on the battlefield, so let's give them a good time!" ”
For cavalry, horses are their second life, so they agree with Di Qing's words very much, Di Qing can't bear to see these horses with their legs cut off suffer, and these soldiers are the same.
So they stepped forward one after another to kill these hundreds of war horses, and when they were done, Di Qing ordered the horses to be brought back to the barracks.
Although there is a lot of respect for horses, they are dead anyway, and ...... The cold weather was already a hardship to march and fight, and today he suffered a loss in front of the Liao army, so Di Qing planned to use these horses to go back and treat the soldiers well, anyway, these horses are the enemy's horses, and if you eat them, you will eat them!
On the way back, Di Qing had been silent, and this time he failed to defeat Meng Gongzuo, so he was naturally a little unwilling in his heart, but ...... What Di Qing thought of was the way to crack this Liao State chain of horses!
