Chapter 177 Final Victory

Just as the grassland cavalry rushed over, the new army did not entangle, but quickly retreated to both sides. After stabilizing the position, they continued to shoot arrows at the grassland cavalry from both wings. The shooting on the side and rear was very lethal. Fortunately, the grassland cavalry all came out of the center, and the cavalry on both wings still did not go out, otherwise the first regiment and the second regiment would be in danger of being strangled.

While commanding the new army to shoot and kill the grassland cavalry, Niu Gao was thinking about when he rushed out to hunt the tall grassland cavalry captain. He was fighting against the green wolf and wanted to cut off the head of the rash man.

Falhan and Neginsi's cavalry then covered up and killed them. The two guys did not see the super lethality of the divine arm crossbow in front, but saw Qinglang's subordinates quickly rushing through the first line of defense of the Song army, so they simply believed that the Song army was vulnerable. They urged the cavalry to speed up the attack and attempted to attack the central army.

The person in charge of the second line of defense was Wang Gui. This guy commanded the cavalry to use the divine arm crossbow and bows and arrows to greet the grassland cavalry. Since there were only three hundred steps left, they just hunted two rounds and then withdrew. Despite this, the grassland cavalry once again dropped two thousand corpses. At this time, the grassland cavalry rushed to less than three hundred steps in front of the central army and could rush in at any time.

The soldiers of Wang Gui, Niu Gao and Jiao Ting started shooting the grassland cavalry from the periphery, and they did not bother with each other at all, and kept a distance.

The central army was right in front of him. The three guys, Qinglang, Falhan and Neginsi, combined with each other and smashed the central army fiercely like a heavy punch. However, they didn't know that the opposite side was facing a denser array of arrows. The dense arrows fell from the sky and hit the grassland cavalry like raindrops. Rows of soldiers fell down. The scene was simply terrible.

Yue Fei was not in a hurry to fight the opponent. While commanding soldiers to shoot and kill grassland cavalry, he commanded the transformation of formations. More than 20,000 troops appeared in a semicircular battle formation. This was his most proud Queyue formation. The defense was airtight and allowed the grassland cavalry to attack.

After the grassland cavalry was at the cost of more than 6,000 casualties, they finally reached the forefront and fought with the new army.

At this time, Wang Gui, Niu Gao and Jiao Ting led their troops to kill. Liao Baijie and Xu Wenzhong came from their wings, trapping the cavalry of Qinglang, Falhan and Neginsi in the center. Ebony, who was watching the battle in the distance, ordered the two wings to be dispatched, and he personally led a thousand cavalry to rush over.

Unfortunately, the two wings of cavalry had not moved in place, and Ebony could not care about so many. For him, once these 30,000 cavalry were annihilated, he would completely lose the opportunity to compete for the Khan throne. In this case, he could only choose to rescue him and he could not care about the two wings of cavalry.

When tens of thousands of troops fought together, the lethality of the heavy armored cavalry was immediately revealed. No matter how hard the grassland cavalry tried, it could not stop the heavy armored cavalry from advancing. Especially under the leadership of Liao Baijie, who was holding the Fang Tian Huaji, he moved forward frantically, and aimed directly at the unlucky male ebony.

Although he saw the heavy armored cavalry rushing over like a torrent of steel, Ebony still had no choice but to do so, and his subordinates could not stop the heavy armored cavalry from advancing. Rows of cavalry fell down, and countless casualties were killed or injured, but the heavy armored cavalry still advanced rapidly.

At this time, the strategic intention of the Song army was very obvious, that is, to capture the thief and king, and to take defense as much as possible on this basis, reduce casualties. The grassland cavalry did not have any organizational discipline, and ran around like headless flies, unable to organize effective attacks, and did not pose too much threat to the new army at all.

At this time, if all the new army attack and take the initiative to attack, it is very likely to divide and surround the grassland cavalry. Even though they adopt a defensive formation, they still have an absolute advantage.

Qinglang, Farhan, and Neginsi were entangled by Gao Chong, Yang Zaixing and Wang Gui as soon as they came up. Although the personal soldiers around them tried their best to protect them, these three people could never get rid of the entanglement and could never effectively organize the army to attack, and could only fall into a hard battle.

Niu Gao and Jiao Ting were like two giant axes, rushing forward and killing grassland cavalry fleeing in all directions, and they could not organize effective defense at all.

Yue Fei was still in charge of the central army to fight against the grassland cavalry, so that the new army could defend as much as possible and reduce casualties.

At first, Ebony was still thinking about going and protecting himself, but after seeing that his three ten thousand men were entangled, he even rushed forward and directly met Liao Baijie.

Seeing that the brainless Ebony rushed towards him, Liao Baijie showed an evil smile on his dark face. The guy was not in a hurry to wave Fang Tian's painting halberd and massacred the grassland cavalry. He basically killed him with one move, and no cavalry could escape fortunately.

Ebony waved the mace and smashed it fiercely at Liao Baijie's head, but the moment the mace was hit, Fang Tian's painting halberd came over, and a long blood mark suddenly appeared on the guy's neck, blood splattered everywhere, and his head was separated.

A new military picked up Ebony's head with the spear in his hand and began to shout. This immediately attracted the idea of ​​the grassland cavalry. Ebony died in battle, which had a great impact on the hearts of these guys.

It was at this time that Niu Gao and Jiao Ting joined the battle group to hunt down Qingmu. This seemingly powerful grassland warrior could no longer withstand his huge head was cut off.

Farhan and Neginsi died in battle, and the grassland cavalry suddenly had a group of dragons and headless, ramming like headless flies. It was at this time that Saha led the army to arrive and ordered the grassland cavalry to withdraw from the position.

It turned out that about half of the 30,000 tribes of Ebony were left. This group of grassland cavalry lost its former edge and quickly evacuated the battlefield. This cruel cavalry encounter ended with the loss of more than 15,000 grassland cavalry, and the new army suffered less than 1,000 casualties. It has to be said that it was a miracle in the history of cavalry warfare.

In this battle, Yue Fei learned about Liao Baijie's strategy and understood why his master was particularly optimistic about the new martial arts top scholar. On the other hand, Liao Baijie also valued Yue Fei's ability to command cavalry. At this age, he could be said to be unique in the world. He definitely did not have such a high achievement at this age.

This battle did not change anything because of victory. Xu Wenzhong, Liao Baijie, and Yue Fei knew that the reason for such a big gap was not because of how strong the new army was in combat. Instead, the grassland cavalry did not invest all the troops, and the armor, weapons were backward, and the commander was incompetent, which caused a crushing defeat. However, Yue Fei also believed that even if all 80,000 grassland cavalry were on the battlefield, the new army would still win in the end, but the casualties would be heavy.

The victory of a cavalry battle made the negotiations between the two sides extremely smooth. Although Saha added a condition that made everyone unable to make decisions, Xu Wenzhong still agreed for future cooperation.

Under Yuntula's leadership, 20,000 grassland cavalry joined forces with the new army to march towards Yanshan Prefecture.

Yuntula had no idea how to capture the tall Yanshan Mansion. He even doubted whether it was a bit unworthy of the loss to participate in the war this time, but all this seemed very simple to Liao Baijie. When he came this time, he brought a secret weapon to the sky thunder. Even if Wu Song could not open the city gate from the city, he could explode the city gate and kill him.

After receiving Wu Song's letter, Liao Baijie knew that this battle would be simpler than expected. He also knew that all this was just the beginning. It was not very difficult to capture Yanshan Mansion, but it was almost impossible to defend this city. You must know that the Jin army is not far away. The Jin army will never give up Yanshan Mansion. This has nothing to do with the sea alliance. In other words, this covenant actually has no binding force.

Liao Baijie knew that Jiang Zhong was very close to Yanshan Mansion, but he didn't know why his lord was unwilling to come. In this case, he could only choose to go to the city first and then make a decision.

In fact, it was not that Jiang Zhong was unwilling to go to Yanshan Prefecture, but that he could not enter. You should know that Xin Xingzong was killed in battle, and the 130,000 troops were wiped out. Zhong Shidao and his brothers in Zhong Shi lost 50,000 or 60,000 elite troops, which could be said to have suffered heavy losses. At this time, the 10,000 cavalry led by Tong Guan was strangely attacked and defeated by bandits in the Liao Kingdom. When everyone was defeated, it was an extremely ridiculous thing to conquer Yanshan Prefecture by two thousand troops, and it was definitely a huge trouble for the official family to pursue it.

In fact, the biggest trouble is not just about entering the city. The key is that 30,000 new troops and 20,000 grassland cavalry attacked Yanshan Prefecture. This is the most taboo thing for the government and the most unavoidable trouble for Jiang Zhong. You should know that he is not as powerful as a king at the moment, and it is a stupid thing to choose to fight against the court.

Should we let Mr. Zhong enter Yanshan Mansion or Tong Guan enter the city be troubled by Jiang Zhong, he decided to visit Mr. Zhong personally, hoping to convince the old coach. After all, let this old coach be the prince, a hundred times stronger than Tong Guan's old thief. After that, Jiang Zhong went to visit Mr. Zhong personally.

The defeat was a huge blow to the old coach Zhong Shidao. Five or sixty thousand elite soldiers were killed in battle. This kind of defeat was never encountered. When I saw Jiang Zhong, the old coach had an illusion that if the commander was this young man at that time, how would the battle continue? Will it win or be defeated?

Mr. Zhong drove everyone out, and only he and Jiang Zhong were left in the tent.

"I guess you should know that Xin Xingzong's entire army was wiped out and that Zhong Shizhong was defeated, and that Tong Guan was defeated by bandits and returned to Hebei to summon troops. Now I want to ask you, if you lead the army, what would happen to the Tielin Army?"

Jiang Zhong did not expect that Zhong Shidao would ask such a stupid question when he was old. He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I have a way to take down Yanshan Mansion. Please lead your army into the city by Grand Commander."

Seeing Jiang Zhong answering the ill-hearted questions, Zhong Shidao understood a lot. It was obvious that this young man was confident in dealing with Tie Linjun, but he didn't want to say it to embarrass Zhong Shizhong. You must know that his younger brother is also in his fifties and has endured such a big defeat. He may be pursued by the court in the future. How could Jiang Zhong answer himself on this question under such circumstances?

People are curious, and the nearly seventy-year-old Zhong Shidao is no exception. He smiled and said, "Let the envoy Tong Shumi enter the city. I am old and I am not interested in the prince. By the way, if you lead 100,000 infantry soldiers and encounter 10,000 iron kites in Xixia, how will you deal with it?"

It seems that this topic cannot be avoided. Jiang Zhong thought for a moment and said, "The tactics are different in different places. One thing is that is to adjust the matching of troops, give up the traditional tactics of long-range archery, and let the enemy in, and then use left and right attacks to compress the activity space of the cavalry. You must know that once the cavalry loses its speed and falls into the infantry formation, the combat will be quite difficult, and the casualties will be huge. Whether it is the Iron Lin Army or the Iron Harrier, it is not impeccable or invincible. Their shortcomings are also obvious, so

It is a chain armor that combines man and horses. Once the horse falls down, no matter whether the cavalry is injured or not, it is no different from death. It will be difficult for them to escape in a short time. Although they are armed to the teeth, the horse's knees are still weak. Swords cannot stab the armor and cannot hurt the enemy. However, heavy weapons such as hammers, axes, iron rods cannot bear the heavy attack, whether they are war horses or cavalry. Horses that suffer heavy attacks will immediately lose their combat effectiveness and the cavalry will be dragged down. In a sense, perhaps the heavy armored cavalry is even worse than the light cavalry after being entangled with infantry."

Jiang Zhong spoke seven or eight ways to fight against Tie Linjun in one breath, which made Zhong Shidao feel ashamed and sighed: "The Yangtze River pushes the previous waves. I am really old and can't keep up with the rhythm of young people. If you don't say this, you have been urging me to enter Yanshan Mansion, why can't you enter the city?"

"Tsk, you are the head coach. If I lead my army into the city, it will be a fatal blow to your reputation and even the Western Army. If I enter Yanshan Mansion, it is even better than Tong Guan entering the city."

Jiang Zhong refused Zhong Shidao's proposal without even thinking about it. He was unwilling to wade into this muddy water. He did not want to step on the old coach's shoulders and took up the position. Once he led his army into the city, he would completely stand opposite Tong Guan. He would probably never stop and have no room for reversal in the future. Moreover, Tong Guan would spare no effort to suppress the Western Army, for fear that the old coach would not escape the fate of being suppressed in the end.

Zhong Shidao was thoughtful and said earnestly: "The Zong family has been guarding the northwestern border for generations, holding heavy troops in their hands. In the eyes of the court, if I become the prince again, the official family will be even more afraid. In addition, this time, Zhong Shizhong was defeated and destined to be criticized by the civil servant group after returning, and the entire Zong family will suffer a catastrophe."

Speaking of this, Zhong Shidao would not compete for the position of the prince. He continued: "You are different. You have the support of the prince, and you have a good relationship with the Grand Tutor Cai Jing, the Yin Prime Minister Liang Shicheng, and the Prince of the Prince. In addition, with the secret support of the Gao family and other meritorious families, it is probably not that easy for Tong Guan to touch you. Don't refuse. I will give you a 50,000 army. You must feel that Tong Guan took down Yanshan Mansion in front of you. I will write the memorial at that time, as long as you don't forget to promote the generals below."
