Qiming 1158

Chapter 1463 The end of the battle

The Xiliao infantry was mainly composed of the servants of the West Karakhan kingdom and part of the Xiliao dismounted cavalry.

Xiao Weilila himself did not intend to win on the infantry, as long as he could withstand the Ming infantry, the main thing was to see the cavalry play.

But the problem now is that the infantry can't stand the Ming army's attack at all, and they are blown up by the Ming army in minutes.

When the Ming army's infantry formations faced off against the Xiliao infantrymen who had fallen into a certain confusion, it was not even spears and steel knives that hit the Xiliao army head-on, but musketeers.

The musketeers fired a salvo, another salvo, another salvo, and then another salvo against the nearby Xiliao army formation.

In a very short period of time, the well-trained Ming army musketeers fired a full six salvos at the Xiliao army formation. The battlefield was filled with gunpowder smoke. Death or serious injury, mourning resounds between heaven and earth.

Where have they seen this weapon?
Where have you seen such a weapon that can breathe fire and smoke and beat people to pieces?

He didn't dare to fight at all, he turned around and ran without hesitation at all.

So far, the Xiliao infantry formation has been riddled with holes, and the process of collapse and retreat has begun.

At this time, the spearmen and swordsmen of the Ming army came forward to fight, marching like a wall, and step by step, the retreating Xiliao infantrymen were harvested as leeks and blood was splashed.

Before the start of the battle, the infantry troops on the front line of the Western Liao Dynasty retreated across the board, which directly affected the main force of the Chinese army in the rear, and even shook the cavalry's battle.

Xiao Orila originally thought that his cavalry troops would have an advantage in numbers. Even if the Ming army's cavalry troops were strong in combat, it should not be difficult to overwhelm them with so many troops.

But now the cavalry can't open the situation, the infantry has already begun to collapse, how can this battle go on?
He was in a hurry.

Faced with such a situation, he could only put in the reserve cavalry in advance, and ordered the reserve cavalry to attack the Ming cavalry, trying to overwhelm the Ming cavalry with this fueling tactic, thereby changing the situation of the battle.

As for the retreat of the infantry and the strange firearms of the Ming army, he had no other choice but to order the Chinese infantry to rise up.

There was nothing to say about the retreating infantry of the former army. The archers bent their bows and arrows and shot forward.

The defeated soldiers who have fled are the enemies of the army formation. At this time, there is absolutely nothing to say about rescuing the "friends". It is only reasonable to shoot them all to death with bows and arrows and prevent them from impacting the intact army formation.

The archers will not have any pity, and they will shoot with their bows and arrows.

The poor routed soldiers had behind them the melee troops of the Ming army lined up like a wall, and in front of them were the sharp arrows of their own men. They were like mice in a dilapidated bellows, getting gas at both ends and being killed at both ends.

They were in a dilemma between the two military groups that were getting closer and closer, and in the end, whether they were determined to attack their own army or the Ming army, they could not escape death.

The first wave of routed soldiers were all killed and wounded, but could the second wave of Xiliao infantry open up the situation?

the answer is negative.

Under the attack of the Ming army musketeers, although they tried their best to fight back with arrows, they could not stop the Ming army's step-by-step approach and powerful firepower.

Seeing that the Chinese infantry formations were also shaky and shaky, Xiao Orili was really anxious.

The cavalry still could not open up the situation, but there was a faint trend of being counterattacked by the Ming army, which made him even more anxious.

His subordinates kept giving him feedback that made him even more anxious. What kind of infantry was in retreat, what kind of cavalry attack was unfavorable, the Ming army's cavalry was strong in combat, and our army was still unable to gain an advantage despite its large numbers.

He had no more cards to play, and the last card in his hand was his own cavalry, the elite of the elite, the life-saving card responsible for protecting the coach from trouble during the great rout.

If this card is also played, then he himself is the fish on the chopping board.

However, the situation no longer allowed him to continue to think about it.

Because the Chinese infantry formation also collapsed, the Ming infantry slaughtered, and even worse, his position was no longer safe.

The Ming army artillery fired again at this time.

The Ming army gunners with rich experience and sufficient mathematical knowledge used the front sight and rear sight to solve the battlefield arithmetic problems. A large number of iron bullets wrapped in hot air crossed the main battlefield where the two armies were fighting, and came directly towards the area where Xiao Weilia was located. .

Xiao Weili watched helplessly as a huge iron ball with white steam descended from the sky, smashing the flesh and blood of an archer guard not far in front of him.

Subsequently, more and more shells fell, and the terror deterrent brought about a huge threat to the entire command center of the Xiliao Army. Many officers and soldiers were either injured or killed under the threat of shells. The death was extremely tragic.

Xiao Weili's guards dragged him back with all their might, even disregarding his personal will, they must run with him.

This is their duty.

It is no longer safe here. If Xiao Weilila was injured as the coach, or simply died, then as personal soldiers, they would also come to the end of their lives.

Xiao Wuri's mind went blank and he couldn't do anything. After running away for a while, he watched his handsome flag crash down in a puff of smoke, and he could never see it again.

It’s over.

Everything is over, everything is over.

He is finished, Hu Siyuan's ears are finished, Yelu Pusu is finished, and Western Liao is finished.

As one of the founding fathers of the Western Liao Kingdom and a close comrade-in-arms of Yelu Dashi, he never imagined that one day he would be able to witness the collapse of the Xiliao foundation with his own eyes, and it would completely collapse in his own hands, which was undoubtedly the biggest for him. the irony.

But what can he do?

He tried his best to recruit the army, tried his best to rush back to save the crisis, but he was still unable to turn the tide. In his eyes, the fallen handsome flag might be the end of Xiliao.

As the commander in chief, even if he was defeated, Xiao Weilila had enough elite guards to lead him to escape. It was difficult for him to die. The same was true for other high-ranking generals.

But others are not so well treated.

When Xiao Weilia was led away by the personal soldiers, the Xiliao infantry was finished and was collapsing, while the Xiliao cavalry was still launching an attack. There were many of them, and the number of Ming cavalry was small, and the two sides were still in fierce confrontation. middle.

However, Su Haisheng discovered the collapse of the Xiliao infantry and its rear, so he decisively put in the reserve cavalry to break into the rear of the Xiliao army from the middle, completely overwhelmed the Xiliao infantry, and then attacked the Xiliao cavalry from the rear. Here comes a "contrasting intestine".

The Xiliao cavalry obviously did not expect such a situation. Under the attack of the Ming army's cavalry on both sides, the army's heart was unstable. They did not know what happened in the rear, and their will to fight was sharply reduced. cavalry.

The Western Liao cavalry also collapsed.

On the entire battlefield, the Western Liao cavalry and infantry were in a state of complete collapse, while the Ming army turned into a state of pursuit.

Su Haisheng was ecstatic when faced with such a situation. He ordered the entire army to switch to a state of pursuit, and the cavalry bravely pursued the fleeing Xiliao army, and the situation on the battlefield completely entered a state of one-sidedness.

In ecstasy, Su Haisheng even dispatched half of his cavalry guards to assist in the pursuit, and used a large number of cavalry forces to block the fleeing Xiliao army, and then the infantrymen chased after them to harvest.

Accept those who surrender, kill those who stubbornly resist, and resolutely pursue them to the end, never letting them go.

This large-scale battle has now come to an end.
