Chapter 119 Killing the enemy in front of the ironclad array, the heavenly general and the lion are out of the hurdle (2)

After Han Zhongxi finished speaking, Yelu Dilie chuckled, and he bowed his head and said, "If you really know me, Zhong Xi is also!" ”

Han Zhongxi arched his hand and said: "The king is falsely praised, but he has followed the king for many years, and he has witnessed the great talent of the king, and the villain is fortunate to get a little bit, although it is a skin, but it is enough to deal with Youyun and these Tang Dynasty generals." ”

Thousands of sycophants are not worn, Han Zhongxi's sycophant is quite level, and Yelu Enemy Lie laughs. After laughing, he put his eyes on the battlefield again, and saw that Li Congjing led the Datong army and horse army to take the lead, galloping from the rear, and was gradually approaching the rear, Yelu Enemy's eyes narrowed slightly. Looking down from the position of Yelu Enemy Lie, you can clearly see the whole normal situation, and naturally you can also see the figure of the Khitan sergeant who was ambushed in the rear formation.

What is the formation of the rear formation of the Khitan army, Li Congjing can only see the front line and the figure of the knife handle behind it. When Li Congjing launched a charge against the Khitan army array, the Khitan soldiers in the rear of the Khitan army, who were originally facing away from them, quickly ran and assembled, and while turning to face him, they tried to find a formation in the shortest possible time, in order to quickly form a defensive force and block Li Congjing from the formation.

This is a very normal reaction of the military formation, and it seems that there is no problem in the slightest. Moreover, with Li Congjing's level-eyed gaze, there were dense people and knife handles in front of him, and he really couldn't see anything else.

The cavalry formation roared forward, and it was already close to a distance of only a few hundred steps from the Khitan army formation, and in this position, Li Congjing and the others could not only clearly see the opponent's formation, but even the faces of the opponent's soldiers.

The soldiers in front of the Khitan army were constantly assembling, nervously forming formations, erecting knife handles, forming a defensive line, a little chaotic, and busy. The Khitan army hurriedly formed a defensive line, mainly with spears and shields, such a defensive force, although it has combat power, but it is still too far to withstand the fierce charge of the cavalry.

Time was in a hurry, almost instantaneously, and the Datong army rushed in.

Li Congjing's eyes were awe-inspiring, and a sharp light shot out of them, like a sharp arrow off the string.

Closer, up to 300 paces.

A rain of arrows flew out of the Khitan army's array, although it was not very strict and dense enough, but its lethality could not be ignored. Without Li Congjing's orders, the galloping Datong army and horses behind him all bowed their bodies, buried themselves behind the horse's neck, and the sharp arrow slid through a semi-circular arc in mid-air, and finally the arrow was oblique to the ground, and the rain line generally fell.

Sharp arrows mostly fall in the gap between the cavalry and the cavalry, but many also fall on the knight's back, but at such a distance, the arrow cannot penetrate the armor behind the cavalry, unless the arrow penetrates the gap, it is possible to get into the knight's body.

There are also sharp arrows falling on war horses, cavalry war horses are through special and rigorous training, few are frightened out of control due to skin trauma, although this round of arrow rain down, there are iron arrows falling on the horse, but the damage caused to the war horse is really limited, because the horse lost its front hooves and fell off the horse, although there are also, but only scattered very few knights.

After a rain of arrows, Li Congjing approached to a distance of less than two hundred steps from the Khitan army formation, his eyes fell on the opposite military formation, and he saw the other party's chaotic footsteps and figures. In this way, the military formation formed in a hurry is not well defended, and it is best to tear apart the cavalry formation with strong potential.

Two waves of arrow rain, the sound of puff and puff came behind him, the arrow fell off the horse and the middle of the unbalanced war horse more, the horse neighing into the ear, the most can cause people's heart palpitations, people can't help but worry about whether the next arrow will hit their war horse, whether the war horse will fall to the ground. However, Li Congjing's gaze was always as calm as water, just sharp and tight.

In the third wave of arrow rain, a sharp arrow slid across Li Congjing's shoulder, bringing out a hole that was neither deep nor shallow, and the pain was unbearable for ordinary people, but it only brought Li Congjing's ant-like tactile sense, which could not arouse his attention at all, let alone distract him.

Almost as soon as the rain of arrows stopped, Li Congjing sat up straight, suddenly raised his arm, and waved forward, while pulling the reins of the horse!

At the same time, the Khitan military formation, which was still in a hurry and chaotic, suddenly changed, and the Khitan soldiers who were unsteady suddenly gathered together at a unit distance, leaving huge blank spaces between each other, and these blank spaces formed a natural cavalry channel. In the face of such a formation, the cavalry rushed over, and naturally did not hit the iron wall of the sergeant with spears and shields, but the momentum of the war horse rushing forward could not be stopped immediately, not to mention that there were comrades who were galloping forward, if the speed of the horse was suddenly reduced, the front and rear cavalry would inevitably collide, which would be tantamount to suicide. Therefore, these opponents left their own passages, and the cavalry could only rush into them with no indomitable progress.

As soon as these passages appeared, the soldiers of the Datong Army saw inside, on the side of the passage, composed of heavy shields, which were as solid as the walls of the ramparts, and in the gaps between the walls, there were already long soldiers with barbs stretched out, coldly under the heavy shields, two feet above the ground. Such a position, an angle, just hooked the legs of the cavalry horses that rushed over!

It is conceivable that after the cavalry rushed in, they could only go and never return.

This scene, in the eyes of the cavalry, is tantamount to hell. This is the sharp weapon of infantry against cavalry, the iron armor array, also known as the tortoiseshell array. In this formation, the foot soldiers are swordsmen, and the cavalry is fish and meat. Such a killing formation cannot be arranged by non-good generals in the army, as well as well-trained soldiers.

Just glanced at the ironclad array in front of him, Li Congjing knew that Yelu's enemy was by no means easy to match, and the prestige of the Khitan North Courtyard was definitely not to be easily offended.

However, the corners of Li Congjing's mouth hooked up a small but smiling arc.

The moment he twisted the reins of his horse and raised his arm, as the leader, he took the cavalry of the Datong Army and threw a big bend with smooth lines in front of the Khitan army, and the entire cavalry formation formed a long dragon, like a big river, at a distance of only one or twenty steps from the Khitan army formation, at a limit angle of nearly ninety degrees, galloping parallel to the Khitan army formation, without rushing into the pocket arranged by the Khitan army!

This kind of action is too difficult, even if it is a real elite who is skilled in archery and horses and has experienced killing and conquest, it is impossible to make it temporarily, it can only be predetermined and prepared in advance!

At the moment when the cavalry of the Datong Army changed their tracks, the knights all sat up straight, and in their hands, there were already more bows and arrows tightly held.

Li Congjing held the bow and arrow in his hand, three sharp arrows in the three fingers, no need to deliberately aim, under the premise that the target is sufficient and the distance is close enough, the three fingers of Li Congjing's right hand were released in an instant, and the three iron arrows were violently killed, the sound of the bowstring ringing had not yet fallen, and there were already three screams in the Khitan army on the side. The three Khitan sergeants were all shot in the throat, as if they were struck by lightning, their heads fell back sharply, and they immediately fell into the military formation in a burst of floating blood droplets!

Li Congjing's Datong army and horse army got up, bent the bow, released the arrows, and the three actions were done in one go, and the sharp arrows that flew out in an instant formed a long rope, and were thrown into the Khitan army head-on. Those Khitan barbarians who were holding spears and spears and wanted to force the Datong army and horse army away and put them into the ironclad array, could not have imagined that such a change would happen in front of them. Without a defensive posture and defensive preparation, they were immediately shot by sharp arrows. At such a close distance, even if an iron arrow hits the armor, it can penetrate it and nail it into the human body!

Nearly 1,000 Datong army horses fired a volley, and the damage far exceeded the total number of kills and injuries of the Khitan army's random arrows when they rushed into battle! And the first salvo is not the end of the battle, it is just the beginning.

In order to confuse Li Congjing and the Datong army, when the Khitan army arranged the ironclad array, it put a lot of defenses in the front of the array, which were obviously insufficient, only attacking sharp weapons, and there were no heavy shields and heavy armor sergeants, at this time, they became the best targets for the Datong army and horse army! The soldiers of the Datong Army galloped in front of them, and there were three rounds of sharp arrows in a volley, and the Khitan soldiers were blown down layer by layer like weeds blown down by a sudden hurricane. The difference is that the weeds can stand up straight again after being blown by the wind, but these Khitan barbarians who were hit by arrows never had a chance to get up again!

When the third round of sharp arrows was released by the soldiers of the Datong Army at the tail of the dragon, the soldiers of the Ma Army with the head of the dragon had already turned again, and they actually turned back.

From beginning to end, they rushed in front of the Khitan army again, and shot all the Khitan barbarians who intended to rush forward to kill with a furious rain of arrows to the ground.

When Yelubona, who was in command of the formation, saw this scene, he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and he suddenly let out a roar, and urgently ordered the cavalry to go out of the two wings to meet the Datong army and horse army!

From the issuance of the military order, to the military order to the hands of the cavalry general, to the cavalry general's order, and then to the cavalry general's order, and finally out of the battle, the time spent has made the Datong army toss two back and forth in front of the Khitan army. When these cavalry cavalry hurried out of the battle, Li Congjing had already led the Datong Army and the horse army to throw a big bend for the last time and walked away in style!

Behind them, there were Khitan barbarians who had long since lost the appearance of a military formation, and they fell to the ground layer by layer, connecting into one piece, like weeds that had been cut and discarded on the ground. And the sergeants who were running back and forth, looking at Li Congjing and the soldiers of the Datong Army who had already gone away, raised their swords and shields in vain.

In the short but fierce confrontation, Li Congjing led the officers and soldiers of the Datong Army to shoot down layer after layer after the Khitan soldiers who were caught off guard and desperately wanted to resist and counterattack, and in the end, these Khitan soldiers could only give up all unrealistic ideas with their heads in their hands in despair, and even those who cried loudly, and then fell down one after another.

Rushing suddenly, killing quickly, and evacuating quickly, this is the essence of cavalry. This kind of cavalry tactics does not seek to plunder the land, but only to kill people, and inflicts a devastating blow on the enemy's living forces.

Li Congjing led the Datong Army to visit the camp this time, and this method of warfare was adopted. The peculiarity is that they did not move their swords, only their bows and arrows.

Before the Khitan cavalry was dispatched, Li Congjing and the soldiers of the Datong Army ran away from the battlefield and went out of the battlefield.

The Khitan elite riders who rushed out of the formation were unwilling to let go of Li Congjing and the others, and desperately patted their horses to keep up.

And when they followed Li Congjing and the Datong army and the horse army to break away from the Khitan camp and saw the Tang army again, they saw the Datong army infantry army with a tight formation.

Li Congjing and the Datong Army Horse Army split into two torrents in front of the formation and merged into the two wings of the Glaive Formation. When the Khitan cavalry caught up, they were greeted by the infantry archers who had been waiting for a long time, and a dense rain of arrows like locusts immediately caused these Khitan elite cavalry to suffer from the blow.

The Khitan elite cavalry formation, which was not as close as the sudden stop, suddenly turned over on their backs, and the people and horses shouted miserably at each other, and the sound was so tragic that they couldn't bear to hear.
