Late Tang

(Thank you Mengmengmengmengmengmeng for your reward, please ask for a monthly ticket! There is only [-] tickets left to add a new chapter, and if you still have a guaranteed monthly ticket, please support it.)

At dusk, the scout horse galloped to report that the leader of the company, Yelu Da, led [-] cavalry, and had reached [-] miles north of the city, and was speeding towards the mountain city.

When Li Jing heard the news, he felt relieved, the Khitan people had fallen into my trap.

Originally, he was worried that this strategy would not work and that the Khitan people would find out, but now it seems that he is overthinking.

"Commander, Yeluda led 6000 people to come, and there are only 3000 troops left in Jian'an Zhucheng. As long as this army is wiped out, the entire Jian'an Prefecture will be at your fingertips. Congratulations, Commander, you will take another state." Li Liang Congratulations to Li Jing.

Li Jing nodded, and the Khitan people from Jian'an Prefecture came one after another, which really surprised Li Jing.

Yelu Dachi and Yelu Dachi came with 2000 troops twice, and the main force of the entire Jian'an Prefecture was almost exhausted. The remaining 3000 troops were no longer a threat to Li Jing, who had [-] troops.

"Are the soldiers and horses ready?"

Li Jing asked with a smile.

"It's all ready, but why didn't the commander set up an ambush in Shuangcheng like last time, but chose the ambush battlefield [-] miles north of Shuangcheng?" Zhang Chengzong asked.

Li Jing smiled at this confidant general, nodded and said to Li Liang, Jing Xiang, and Gai Yu: "You can ask the three gentlemen this question."

As counselors, Li Liang and the others are naturally very clear about these things.In fact, Li Jing was going to use military talismans to write false requests for credit to deceive the Khitan people to come, and they had already thought of such a strategy.It was just because Yelu Dachi refused to cooperate. Gongsun Lan made Yelu Dachi obey in just one night, which was beyond their expectations.

"Ambush outside the city is better than inside the city." Gai Yu waved a folding fan, showing a bit of a military strategist, "The last time I was able to ambush Yelu Dachi inside the city, it was because he was not prepared. Things can never happen again, Although Yelu Dachi led his troops this time, if he did not find Yelu Dachi and other Khitan soldiers when he arrived at the city, he would definitely be suspicious. Come here, after two days of walking, it is time to be exhausted. The two cities are in sight, and this is the time when the Khitan soldiers are most alert. At this time, the ambush soldiers can have the best effect of being unprepared .”

With Gai Yu's explanation, Zhang Chengzong, Liu Shouqian and others understood immediately.

Li Jing immediately ordered that Guo Zhenshan Yanyun Army, Lin Wuyin Gun Xiaojie Army, Qiu Shengong Shenwu Army, and Xuancheng Xiongwu Army each lead their headquarters to ambush Yeludala.

He himself led the Jinjiasheng Jiejun, Zhao Jifeixiong's army, Zeng Yuanyu's Shenjie army and Gao Zhaokang's North Korean army to dispatch.

Zhang Chengshou led the Leopard Cavalry Army, Liu Shouqian led the Flying Eagle Army, and stayed behind in Shuangcheng.

Li Jing was ready to be ambushed by the fourth army, and he led the fourth army to pursue.

Twenty miles to the north of the city, outside the north entrance of the valley, Yelu Dala led his troops in a hurry, and it seemed that he was about to enter the valley.If it was entering the valley, Yelu Dala might carefully send someone to check the valley first.But now, after all, there are still more than ten miles away, and he has no precautions at all.

At this moment, suddenly, there was a slight vibration under the feet, and there was a muffled thunder-like sound.

As a Khitan warrior who grew up on horseback, Yelu Dala's face changed slightly, and he immediately understood that a large group of cavalry was coming at a gallop.Judging from the sound, he deduced that there were a lot of enemy soldiers, and they were actually galloping from all sides.

"It's not Yelu Dachi's welcoming team, definitely not!" In a flash, Yelu Dachi understood. "This is a trap, retreat!"

Yelu Dala was able to serve as the advance tribe of the Diela tribe, all the way to conquer Jian'an Prefecture, and even almost captured Jili Prefecture last year, relying on his rich battlefield experience.Although it is not clear how many people in Tang Jun are waiting for them here, he will never fight casually.Just like a cunning fox, as soon as it notices any movement, it runs away immediately.

The humming horn sounded, and the Khitan cavalry quickly turned around.

However, although Yelu Dalai reacted quickly, Tang Jun was a hunter who had been waiting for a long time. How could the prey that had entered the trap escape?

The Shenwu and Xiongwu armies under the Pinglu army, the Yanyun army under the fifth army of Zhen [***], the silver gun Xiaojie army in the five Yamen, and the four armies all broke into the ambush circle from all sides. A thousand Khitans were killed.

Yelu Dalai looked around with his knife in hand, only to see Tang troops pouring in from all directions.

A fiery red battle flag, galloping horses, and a silver battle flag, silver armor, and all white tall horses.

Seeing this scene, Yelu Dachi didn't know that Yelu Dachi must have been defeated by the Tang army long ago, and that letter of appeal for help, as Mr. Feng Duo said, was indeed problematic.Unfortunately, it is too late now.

He had heard of Zhen [***]'s bravery, and of Li Jing's ability to fight, but he never thought that those words were not exaggerated, they were all true.

Now, witnessing Tang Jun's toughness and bravery with his own eyes made Yeluda feel terrified.

These Tang troops are not like the Lu Long army in Youzhou at all.In his memory, Tang Jun should be like Lu Longjun of Youzhou, who appeared to be brave, but in fact he was no match for the Khitan warriors at all.Lu Long's army is also considered very strong, but they have never charged as fiercely as Zhen [***]. This is not the Tang army in my impression, it is obviously more sturdy than the grassland tribe knights.

The momentum of Zhen [***] is unstoppable.

Yelu Dala didn't even dare to turn around and fight, he fled, fled to the north, the farther he fled the better.

The Khitans ran fast, and Tang Jun also pursued them quickly.The ambushed Fourth Army had 8000 soldiers and horses, waiting for work at ease, and among them, the Silver Spear Efficiency Army had 3000 fine cavalry. The Yanyun Army itself had a large establishment of [-] people, and its troops had [-] cavalry.The two armies of Shenwu and Xiongwu also have [-] cavalry each.The Fourth Army has [-] horses and [-] cavalry.The cavalry alone surpassed these Khitans by four thousand.

After walking for two days, the Khitan people were already exhausted, hungry and tired, and they were ambushed here again. It was not easy to break out of the encirclement.

To the north where the Khitan wanted to break through, five thousand infantrymen of the Yanyun Army had already arrived on horseback, and quickly dismounted to form a formation.

The five-foot large iron shields in the front row have been erected one after another, forming a copper wall and iron wall, and behind the shield, there are countless eight-foot spears sticking out of the big shield, opening blossoms of icy ice on the iron wall. Bright thorn flowers.Numerous stabbing guns rose up, forming a daunting place of death.

On both sides of these shield soldiers and spearmen are sword jumpers, and among them are a total of [-] crossbowmen.On both sides of this suddenly erected wall, the cavalry of the Yanyun Army had already mounted their horses, ready to attack at any time.

Guo Zhenshan watched the Khitan cavalry charge closer and closer, swallowed his saliva, drew his sword out of its sheath, swung it forward vigorously, and shouted: "Bowmen are ready!"

"One hundred steps away!"

"Eighty steps!"

"Sixty steps!"

"Fifty steps!" The observer in front of the formation shouted nervously, his voice shrill.

With a wave of the long sword, Guo Zhenshan shouted: "Fire the arrow!"

The trumpeters and standard bearers behind them immediately sounded their horns and waved their flags to send orders, and the orders continued to be passed on. Then three thousand crossbowmen picked up their crossbow triggers and pulled the strings. Suddenly, countless crossbow nails whizzed past the shield soldiers like locusts. Above the spearmen, they rushed straight into the Khitan cavalry charge.

The Khitan cavalry rushing to the front suddenly turned on their backs, and fell to the ground one by one. The knights behind couldn't dodge, their horses stumbled, and a large number of horses fell to the ground.

After the crossbow arrows, the crossbowmen quickly picked up the bows on the ground, pulled out the arrows inserted in front of them, and opened the bows to shoot arrows.

At this time, there is no need to care about the accuracy, what is needed is the speed.

Arrows were shot out one after another, forming a curtain of arrows, flying over the heads of the Khitan people, and then falling down instantly with a sharp whistling sound, enveloping Yan Yun's army within fifty steps in front of the formation.A dense rain of arrows fell from the top of the head. Although the Khitan cavalry had armor, the horses could not guard against it.

"Rush over!" Yeluda hissed, but he had already been shot by several arrows, bleeding profusely.

The Khitan people dare to rush forward, but before such a solid wall, how easy is it to rush over?

What's more, the town of [***] is not the only one blocking the wall.

When the Khitans were blocked by a solid wall, the Tang army behind them had already attacked from three sides.The cavalry is in front and the infantry is in the rear, just like a pack of wolves besieging a flock of sheep.Although the Khitan kept rushing forward, every time the Tang Army Department was able to jump up and bite off a large piece of meat.

The front couldn't break through, but Tang Jun rushed forward fiercely from three sides behind.

The outcome of the battle was already doomed, and the Khitans were just dying.Their bodies were already covered with prismatic wounds from stabbing guns. Under the Y-shaped wounds, the wounds could not be stitched up, and they could only watch the blood flow to death.

Yelu Dala never imagined that he would die here in the end after half his life.

After all, he was careless after all, Feng Duo reminded him, but he didn't care at all.

Thinking of this, he felt extremely regretful.

"Abandon weapons and avoid death, surrender and not kill!" Tang Jun's shouts had already begun to ring out on the battlefield.Yelu Dalai could speak Chinese and understood that the Tang army wanted them to surrender.

Yerudala shouted: "Fight to the end, never surrender!"

A burst of strength suddenly surged all over his body, Yeluda's fangs flew flying, and with one stick he knocked down a nearby Tang cavalryman from his horse, and then roared: "My son, the Khitan warriors would rather die in battle than surrender."

Guo Zhenshan's morale was greatly improved when he heard the sudden burst of shouts from the Khitan people.He turned his head and asked the officer next to him who knew Khitan dialect, after he understood.He snorted coldly, "Since you want to die, then let them be fulfilled."

Yan Yun's army firmly blocked the Khitan's retreat, and the archers hid in the formation and kept shooting.

The other three armies also encircled from behind, and the Khitan soldiers were completely surrounded.And as time goes by, the encirclement becomes smaller and tighter.

There were less than 2000 Khitan people left, and they had completely turned into a bleeding, mad beast.

"General Yelu is dead!" Another cry came from the battlefield.

Guo Zhenshan raised his binoculars and looked, and sure enough, the eagle flag that Yeluda had set up in the Khitan army had collapsed in the army formation.

Lin Wu led the silver spear to act like a white tiger. With the momentum of thunder, he suddenly cut into the Khitan's central army and directly penetrated the Khitan's struggling formation.

After the death of Yelu Da, the remnants of Khitan could no longer hold on. After being divided and surrounded by the attacking town [***], they were cut into small army formations one by one, and they were defeated and captured.

Under the golden light of the setting sun, the battlefield was in a mess, countless Khitan cavalry corpses were piled up on the battlefield, and there was also the wailing of the wounded horse.The victorious town [***] soldiers blood-stained their robes, and teams cleaned their horses.
