Chapter 874
The Han army and the Jurchen soldiers and horses stopped fighting separately. That night, the Jurchen soldiers and horses withdrew from the valley and set up a formation outside the valley entrance on the other side in an attempt to stop the advance of the Han army.

Di Qing had already summoned Zhang Shigui's rear army, thinking that the Jurchens would surely launch another attack as soon as the sky dawned.Unexpectedly, when the sky was bright, the Jurchen's violent offensive did not appear. Looking from the mouth of the valley to the valley, the valley was very quiet, and no one could be seen.

Di Qing and Zhang Shigui rode on horseback and looked inside the valley. Di Qing said with a gloomy expression, "Why did the Jurchen soldiers retreat? Hurry up and send someone to investigate!"

A cavalry scout quickly entered the valley, but after a while the scout came back to report: "To the two generals, there is no one in the valley, and the Jurchen soldiers and horses are all at the opposite valley entrance. Just like us, we set up a formation at the valley entrance and used the general's cavalry. Shield soldiers, archers, if we want to break through, it will be difficult!"

"Go, go over and have a look!" Di Qing took the lead, entered the valley with Zhang Shigui, Gao Lan and other generals, came to a ramp, and observed the Jurchen formation from a high position.

The ramp is very high, and at the top of the ramp, the situation on the plain behind is clear at a glance.

At the mouth of the valley, Jurchen's [-] troops came down several times, with shield soldiers in front and cavalry behind to form an intercepting formation.A large number of archers were deployed on the nearby highlands to shoot the enemy from a long distance.

On the plain behind, there are also the camps of Jurchen soldiers and horses, and the camps stretch for several miles, which is quite spectacular.

"Unexpectedly, the Jurchen soldiers and horses reacted so quickly. Now that he retreats to the valley entrance, our army is going to attack instead. The valley is narrow, and the soldiers and horses cannot be used at all. It is impossible to break through the formation." Zhang Shigui saw Seeing the arrangement of Jurchen soldiers and horses, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

Di Qing murmured: "Our infantry alone will not be able to break through the encirclement, but the cavalry led by General Yuwen Chengdu will arrive soon. With General Yuwen Chengdu's cavalry as the main force, it should not be a problem to break through the encirclement."

When Zhang Shigui thought of Yuwen Chengdu's tyrannical strength, he lowered his head and agreed: "General Di is right, we will wait for General Yuwen Chengdu to come to discuss it, and relying solely on our infantry to charge is just killing ourselves."

On the other side, Wanyan Zongwang retreated to Taniguchi, and waited for the Han army to come to attack with great satisfaction. He didn't think that the Han army did not send troops, but stood still.Wanyan Zongwang quickly understood his intentions, and understood that the Han army wanted to wait for the cavalry to come and attack together.

So Wanyan Zongwang ordered the soldiers to strengthen its defenses, and sent more soldiers and horses to set up a formation. There were not many highlands nearby, so they dug soil and gathered slopes, so that the archers could stand on the slopes.

The terrain outside the mouth of the valley was open, and Wanyan Zongwang sent all the [-] soldiers and horses in his hand to stop the Han army in order to stop the reinforcements of the Han army.

It's just that although the front is as stable as Mount Tai, and its defensive formation is built like a copper wall, it ignores its own rear.If the soldiers and horses he deployed outside Xu Wucheng could not stop the Han army, allowing the Han army to break out and raid the rear, it is very likely that the Han army would cooperate with the outside and be defeated.

But Wanyan Zongwang was very confident in his soldiers and horses, thinking that he sent Yuan Gai Suwen to lead [-] soldiers and horses, and the Han army would not be able to break through to receive reinforcements.

Two days passed quietly in a blink of an eye, and Yuwen Chengdu finally led fifty thousand Huqi and Di Qing's troops to meet up on this day.

When their soldiers and horses converged, Di Qing and Zhang Shigui took Yuwen Chengdu to the high slope in the valley to survey the Jurchen formation.

"General Yuwen, Jurchen's defense is so tight, I don't know if you have a way to break through the Jurchen formation and lead our army to break out?" Di Qing looked at Yuwen Chengdu and asked.

Yu Wencheng disdainfully said: "I regard the formation of Jurchen like chickens and dogs. When I lead the cavalry as the vanguard, I can break through this formation in one fell swoop."

"So we all rely on the general!" Di Qing and Zhang Shigui were overjoyed to see Yu Wencheng being so confident.

After everyone returned, Yuwen Chengdu made it easy for the cavalry to select strong soldiers and strong horses to be used as the vanguard to break through the encirclement.

"Your Majesty asked me to build cavalry, which cost a lot of money over the years. In addition to ordinary equipment, I also ordered people to build a heavy armored cavalry equipment. Although Jurchen deployed archers on the high ground outside, they did not have strong crossbows. The cavalry is not much of a threat. I will lead the heavy armored cavalry to break through first, disrupt the Jurchen soldiers and horses, and a few generals can take advantage of the momentum and lead their troops to fight out and defeat the Jurchen in one fell swoop!"

As Yu Wencheng spoke, he asked Jianyong to wear heavy armor, and all the generals praised him again and again.

I saw that the armor was all made of iron sheets, not only the armor on the body, but also an iron helmet on the head, and an iron mask on the face, only the eyes were exposed to see.The war horse is also equipped with iron armor, which also covers the whole body.

In this way, the battle armor and the horse armor together weigh tens of catties.

It has strict requirements on its soldiers. The soldiers wearing armor are all strong men in the army, and they are all about eight feet tall. Only in this way can they wear armor to fight the enemy.

In this way, the requirements for war horses are also more stringent, because the soldiers are huge and the weight of the armor puts a heavy load on the war horses.Fortunately, Yuwen Chengdu came from the grassland, and all the major tribes brought a large number of horses. Even so, they only selected 3000 horses that met the requirements, so the number of this heavy cavalry was also maintained at about [-].

Looking at the torrent of steel in front of him, Di Qing clapped his hands and praised: "Unexpectedly, General Yuwen created such a powerful heavy armored cavalry. In this way, with this heavy armored cavalry, it will not be a problem to break through the Jurchen formation."

But after a while, the heavy armored cavalry was finished. Yu Wencheng got on his horse and said to Di Qing and the others in his hand, "I will lead the cavalry to attack the Jurchen formation first, and the generals will follow behind."

"Don't worry, I'll come later!" Di Qing said, cupping his hands.

"Follow me, brothers!" Yu Wencheng slapped his horse, and immediately led [-] heavy armored cavalry towards the valley entrance on the other side of the valley.

Although there are not many cavalrymen in three thousand, they are as powerful as tens of thousands of cavalrymen while galloping their horses.

On the other side of the valley, Wanyan Zongwang heard the sound of galloping horses, and immediately came to the high ground where the archers were stationed to command.

"Why are there so few cavalry?" Wanyan Zong looked at the galloping cavalry and asked in disbelief.

When he got close, Wanyan Zongwang couldn't help but gasped: "What kind of cavalry is this? It's like a steel beast? But there are only a few thousand men and horses, so they shouldn't be able to break through the encirclement of our army, right? Let me shoot arrows, I don't believe so many archers Your mere armor can block it!"

Wanyan Zongwang gave an order, and the Jurchen archers immediately bent their bows and set up arrows to shoot at the heavy armored cavalry. For a while, thousands of arrows were fired in the sky, but when the arrows landed on the heavy armored cavalry, there was only a burst of clanging. Sound, its arrows can't hurt it at all.

"Kill!" Seeing this situation, the barbarian cavalry were all excited, and one by one they waved their weapons and charged forward.

The formation of the Jurchen was modeled after that of the Han army, with shield soldiers in front, and soldiers behind them holding long hairs, long spears and other weapons to form a shield formation.

Facing the formation like a steel city wall, Yu Wencheng was full of disdain. He waved the phoenix wings and gold-plated iron in his hand and rushed to the front of the gun shield formation in a blink of an eye.

This place is a place where soldiers meet at hand. Since the arrows of the archers cannot harm their own soldiers and horses, this place is not covered by arrow rain.

Yu Wencheng let out a cold shout, and waved the gold-plated phoenix wings in his hand to kill in front of the spear and shield array.Shields stood in front of Yu Wencheng, and spears protruded from the gaps in the shields. If he insisted on hitting him, he would be stabbed into a hedgehog by the spears.

But Yu Wencheng was not afraid, and the phoenix-winged gold-plated iron was dispatched, stirring and shattering the formation like an iron wall in front of him.Every time the boring is used, it is like a tiger roaring and a dragon soaring. Wherever the phoenix wings are gold-plated, everyone is turned on their backs, and no one is invincible.

The spear and shield formation that the Jurchen soldiers and horses relied on was like paper in front of Yu Wencheng, and it was easily destroyed.

The rear heavy armored cavalry followed closely from the gap that Yuwen Chengdu made, and followed Yuwen Chengdu into the tight siege.

Among the Jurchen soldiers and horses, An Dianbao, the fierce general, was furious when he saw this situation, and brandished a pair of big silver hammers to fight Yuwen Chengdu.

"I am the Andian Bao of Goguryeo, so I will be named after you!"

Yu Wencheng waved towards An Dianbao as soon as he was bored, and said with a sneer: "The generation whose country has been ruined and whose family has been destroyed, are you willing to report their lives?"

The phoenix-winged gold-plated iron came fiercely, An Dianbao didn't have time to quarrel with Yu Wencheng, he quickly used the pair of silver hammers as a chest, and tightly clamped the stabbing phoenix-winged gold-plated iron.

"The system detects that Yuwen Chengdu is fighting with An Dianbao. Yuwen Chengdu's basic force is 103, plus one for weapons, one for horses, and three for Hengyong attribute. The current force is 108. An Dianbao's basic force is 101, plus one for the big silver hammer. Force 102."

An Dianbao clamped the phoenix wings with a silver hammer in his hand to gilt the phoenix, and then he cursed at Yu Wencheng: "If you don't tell me that my life doesn't matter, I'm not interested..."

"That's a lot of nonsense!" Yu Wencheng sneered, and turned the phoenix-winged gold-plated iron in his hands, and the pair of hammers separated immediately, and the sharp boring points struck An Dianbao's chest.

An Dianbao was terrified, and quickly swung the silver hammer with his right hand, trying to smash the silver hammer on his chest.

But its speed was still a bit slower, the Yuwen Chengdu boring tip had already pierced An Dianbao's chest, An Dianbao's silver hammer had arrived, and the boring was smashed away with one hammer.The boring tip slid across An Dianbao's chest, and immediately cut a hideous wound on An Dianbao's chest.

Blood spurted out from his chest immediately, staining An Dian Baozheng's robe red.

"I just want to stab you, alas, you made it like this yourself! Don't talk nonsense!" Yu Wencheng smacked his lips and said.

An Dianbao only felt a burning pain in his chest, but fortunately Yuwen Chengdu's stabbing wasn't deep, just some flesh wounds.If the stabbing was too deep, An Dianbao would have to be disembowelled.

Yu Wencheng sneered, but the phoenix wings and gold-plated iron in his hand didn't stop, and stabbed An Dianbao again with a backhand.
