Chapter 166: Lure the enemy in front of Qilipo

Liu Xing, who led the troops to retreat quickly and ran more than 100 steps away, turned around, and when he saw that Guo Yaoshi and Dong Cai had actually transferred the four thousand heavy cavalry under the command of the two of them to the front of the formation, he immediately felt a burst of disdain in his heart.

The Jurchen heavy cavalry, nominally heavy cavalry, was in fact just a group of cavalry that had only recently been added with small shields and extremely heavy armor.

In terms of tactics, tactics and individual ability, Liu Xing firmly believes that these Jurchen heavy cavalry are definitely not as sharp as the Mongolian heavy cavalry, which has been preached for a long time in later generations and is known as invincible in Asia and Europe.

And even if he encounters the legendary Mongolian heavy cavalry in the future, Liu Xing knows it very well in his heart. When you lead your troops to launch a fire bombardment and a scatter bomb attack, no matter how thick the armor is, it will only become a burden to drag the soldiers to move and dodge attacks, but it will not have the ability to defend in the real sense.

It can be said that no matter what kind of cavalry wants to block the attack of fire bombs and fire guns now, it is the mantis arm as a vehicle. Guo Yaoshi and Dong Cai are two stupid fools who came home and created obstacles to the escape of their soldiers.

It is precisely because of these understandings of the gap between cold weapons and ** that Liu Xing's disdain for Guo Yaoshi and Dong Cai immediately issued new instructions.

As soon as this order was issued, the cavalry squad of one hundred and fifty people had just completed the re-formation and followed closely behind Liu Xing again, divided into three teams, and rushed in front of the heavy cavalry of the Jin army.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

"Bang, bang, bang......"

After another round of neat fire bombs and pot-bellied salvos, the heavy cavalry who had just walked to the front of the military formation were blown up and knocked down by Liu Xing before the formation was completed.

Seeing that the heavy cavalry under his command had been severely damaged, Guo Yaoshi realized that even if his heavy cavalry had shields and heavy armor guards, they could not stop the damage caused by the black iron balls and fire-breathing iron spears thrown by the hands of the Song soldiers with grimace masks on their faces and red scarves around their necks.

Realizing that it could not be stopped, Guo Yaoshi immediately issued an order for his heavy cavalry to retreat, and the whole army immediately changed from the formation to fight.

It's a pity that Guo Yaoshi is a general, and he is still a three-surnamed domestic slave who is very despised by both the Jurchens and the Han people

His order was issued, and the two Jurchen Meng'an, who led two thousand heavy cavalry to the front, made a disobedient move: one Meng'an roared angrily and led hundreds of heavy cavalry to break away from the army and rush to Liu Xing and the others.

The other Meng'an shouted loudly, leading the remaining hundreds of heavy cavalry to rush to the direction of the first team, hoping to entangle with the Red Turban Army and win the battle with its heavy armor advantage.

Only the unthinkable, there is nothing that cannot be done.

The two Jurchen Meng'an wanted to do close trembling, and their thoughts were correct.

It's a pity that they ignored the fact that the heavy cavalry was chasing Liu Xing at this time, and the simple cavalry around them who were only wearing leather armor was the key point that made them unable to do those things they wanted.

The speed of the two armies determined that the two Meng'an would not be able to lead their troops to catch up with Liu Xing and others and engage in melee combat.

The two heavy cavalry charged forward before they began, and Liu Xing's horse immediately shouted: "The third team flanks the enemy on the left flank." The first and second teams will shoot through the enemy and kill them! ”

As soon as this order was issued, the three teams of the cavalry of the Jiaowu battalion acted quickly, and according to Liu Xing's order, the third team quickly detoured back to the flanks of the two heavy cavalry of the Jin army.

After a belly bombardment, the third team quickly ran again after knocking over more than 100 Jin army heavy cavalry from the flank, and then quickly turned to the flank of another Jin army heavy cavalry, and continued to implement the light cavalry tactics after another round of bombardment.

At the same time as the flanking attack of the third team unfolded. The second team and the first team of cavalry led by Liu Xingqin fought and left. While retreating backwards, he turned back and kept bombarding the Jin army with a pot-bellied gun to chase the heavy cavalry that approached within a hundred paces.

Although the first and second teams did not kill and injure the Jin army as much as the third team, they achieved the effect of provoking the Jin army and luring the Jin soldiers.

The two Jurchen people who were furious Meng An saw that there were people around them who were constantly being bombarded off their horses by Liu Xing's troops, not only did they not sober up, but they became more annoyed, blindly leading their troops to forcibly accelerate and want to catch up with the Red Turban Army.

In this way, within a thousand paces, the thousands of heavy cavalry led by Ermeng'an were quickly killed and wounded, killing and wounding six or seven hundred people.

It wasn't until the last remaining 300 or so heavy horsemen gathered together on the way to charge that the two Meng'an realized that their tactics were too stupid.

A Meng'an was the first to awaken. He immediately gave an order for his soldiers to take out the longbows hanging on their horses, hoping to shoot a longbow that could shoot a hundred paces away to return fire at the Red Turbans.

As soon as he saw the Jin soldiers raising their longbows, Liu Xing was shocked from the bottom of his heart, and before the Jin soldiers released their arrows, he roared angrily and volleyed up with his gun.

"Huhuhu......"

Three fireballs flew out from the spear that Liu Xing waved in the air, and then turned into dozens of balls in mid-air, and when they flew in front of the crowd of golden soldiers at a gallop, they turned into hundreds of fist-sized fireballs and hit the bodies of those heavy cavalry of the Jin army.

The fragments of the flame bomb may still be blocked by the shield on the Jin Army's heavy riders, and the pot-bellied shots may also be blocked by the heavy armor on the Jin Army's heavy cavalry.

However, the fireball formed by the thousand-year-old mana that Liu Xing swayed from the golden spear directly pierced the bodies of more than 200 cultivators who were heavy horsemen of the low-level golden army, killing them under the horse.

Even the other Jurchens with slightly higher cultivation, including the two Meng'an, were all slightly or severely injured after being hit by the fireballs released by Liu Xing.

For a while, people neighed on their horses, and more than 300 heavy horsemen of the Jin army all fell off their horses.

Without waiting for Dong Cai's command, the more than 1,000 heavy cavalry who received Dong Cai's order and rushed forward rushed to the front. Liu Xing blew a few whistles coolly in his mouth and summoned the third team to the front.

Immediately, with a wave of spears, the three teams of men and horses re-lined up, and waited in the open area at the foot of the mountain for the arrival of the more than 1,000 horsemen sent by Dong Cai. And a thousand steps behind the red scarf, there is the road leading to the mountain pass behind Qilipo......

……

After more than 1,000 cavalry repeatedly staged a new round of guerrilla battles in which they were attacked by flanks and killed by inducements, Dong in the Jin army completely came to his senses.

He rode his horse and galloped quickly to Pharmacist Guo's side, and said in a loud voice: "General Guo, quickly send an order for you and me to rush forward on light horses, so as to be able to fight those Song troops in close combat, and don't let them use such firearms-based Youyi combat methods are the best choice!" ”

Hearing this, Pharmacist Guo looked at him sideways with a red face, and then nodded: "Yes, not giving those Song troops the opportunity to load gunpowder into the iron guns is the chance for our army to win." Then ask General Dong to give the order to let your light cavalry be the front team. My light cavalry arrived. ”

As soon as he heard Pharmacist Guo say this, Dong Cai suddenly said unhappily: "What do you mean? General Guo, do you want my brother to be a daring soldier to die, and then the battle exploits will be for you to enjoy alone? ”

The two of them are both battle-hardened people, even if they are weak scholars, they will be able to see in the current situation whose subordinates are the first to charge, that is, to be cannon fodder, or to die.

And the previous team sent the bodies of those who died. It is the best ladder for those who follow behind to rush forward and fight the Red Turbans in melee combat. Naturally, it also made a stepping stone for the people in the back team to keep up.

Two people who lived together in the troubled times and got out of today's status, of course, no one wants to be cannon fodder for their subordinates and give up their military exploits to another person.

After Dong Cai's words were finished, the two main generals actually looked at me and I stared at you on the battlefield, and they held up the bulls......

Guo Yaoshi and Dong Cai were bullish, but Liu Xing was killing happily while fighting.

Big-bellied guns and explosive fire bombs formed a network of firepower, constantly knocking down pieces of the Jin army's heavy cavalry from their horses. Flame crown, golden spear. Fireballs and thunderbolts continued to shoot out, making the Jin Army heavy cavalry on the way to pursue without any blocking ability, and there was only room for life after being hit.

A massacre that seemed to have been formed during the escape of the Red Turban Army, and in the process of Guo Yaoshi and Dong Cai's confrontation, it finally angered the Mouke and Meng'an among the Jurchen cavalry under their command.

Just when Liu Xing unleashed thirty-six bolts of lightning with the Zhan Golden Spear and killed thirty-six heavy cavalry of the Jin Army again. Suddenly, Guo and Dong let out a roar of rage.

In the midst of the roar, the seven fierce soldiers belonging to the two of them, with five or six thousand Jurchens, did not wait for the orders of the generals, and launched a chaotic charge in the direction of the Red Turban Army two thousand paces away......

Hearing the rumbling but chaotic sound of horses' hooves, Liu Xing took a look in the air, and when he saw the Jin soldiers launching a scattered and disorderly charge, his heart suddenly became happy, and he said secretly: Okay! The master's plan is half successful. Come on, you damned golden dogs, go into the mountains with Master and eat more shotguns and gunpowder......

After thinking about it, Liu Xing fell off his horse, and after killing more than a dozen Jin army heavy horsemen with a wave of his spear from afar, he let out a long whistle.

With a long roar, Liu Xing turned around on his horse, and all the cavalry of the Sect Martial Arts Battalion also turned around quickly, and then shot like one hundred and fifty red lightning bolts on the main road in the valley......

When the five or six thousand Jin soldiers who rushed forward in a disorderly manner rushed to the battlefield of Fangcai, as soon as they saw the tragic scene of being in disarray and corpses all over the ground, the anger in the hearts of all the Jurchens instantly swelled to the extreme.

No one thought about it, and without waiting for the orders of Meng'an and Mooke, a new round of disorderly charges unfolded towards the main road in the valley. Thousands of people rushed into the valley in droves, chasing in the direction of the back mountain pass......

When his subordinates rushed into the valley, Guo Yaoshi and Dong Caicai completely woke up and shouted in unison: "Don't chase, don't chase, be careful of deceit!" ”

However, the soldiers were far away, the sound was unpleasant, and except for the remaining more than 100 of their own soldiers around them, none of the soldiers under their command could hear or obey their orders.

In desperation, the two could only know that there were tigers in the mountains and favored the tiger mountains, so they took their own soldiers to catch up with their subordinates, and soon ran to the bottom of the Qili slope and got into the ambush circle that Liu Xing had already prepared for them.
