"Array up!"
Li Yi raised his hand and waved, and the dragon cavalry soldiers dismounted skillfully and formed a formation, all new-style firecrackers aimed at the Northern Liao scouts in front of them.
In order to make up for the lack of firepower of the firecrackers, they headed north this time. Li Yi is also equipped with the latest developed small cannon.
It is more than three times larger than an ordinary fire blunderbuss. It is filled with iron nails and gunpowder. It is extremely powerful. It can penetrate any iron armor within a hundred steps. It is not very accurate, but it can cover a wide area.
The dragoons are divided into four rows. The dragoons in the fifth row do not dismount and use spears as weapons as shock cavalry.
Once the enemy began to collapse, the fifth row of dragoons jumped up and broke the formation.
"wind!"
"wind!!"
"wind!!!"
The whole dragon cavalry army shouted in unison. The sudden shouts startled the scouts of the Northern Liao Kingdom, and they all jumped on their horses and ran away.
But a moment later, the Bei Liao Thousand Soldiers team appeared in the distance.
Although it is said to be a thousand-man team, it can be estimated that there are three to four thousand cavalry.
And they are definitely not ordinary Bei Liao cavalry, but truly elite armored cavalry.
Everyone knows that the grassland tribes are short of iron, and the Bei Liao people who can equip themselves with iron armor are all elite.
But these Bei Liao cavalry in front of them are not only knights wearing armor, but also the horses sitting down are covered with a layer of iron armor.
The Northern Liao cavalry on the opposite side was like a black tide overflowing the earth. Thousands of horses galloped together. The sound of the horses' hooves stepping on the ground was like rolling thunder slowly approaching.
Thousands of war horses galloped together, like an army of thousands of horses, which was thrilling.
Seeing this situation, Cao Qingyan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Your Majesty, we have met our opponent today."
"What do you mean?" Li Yi frowned, feeling vaguely uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, look, those wearing black iron armor with two black feathers on their backs are the famous eagle riders of the Northern Liao Kingdom. There are also those with tiger skin felt on their shoulders. Both men and horses are wearing iron armor. Then They are Tiger Cavalry, the personal army of the King of Beiyuan."
After hearing Cao Qingyan's words, Li Yi realized that no wonder the enemy's mere thousands of cavalry dared to go deep into the hinterland of the gale. It turned out that they were truly elites from such a distance.
"snort!"
Li Yi snorted angrily, "I am fighting the elites!"
"Preach my will and prepare the entire army for war!"
The Northern Liao army on the opposite side finally stopped two hundred steps away and began to form a calm formation.
They didn't take the two thousand dragoons on the opposite side seriously at all.
When Li Yi looked at the Beiliao people opposite, the Beiliao people were also looking at them.
The leader of this elite group of Northern Liao people is called Alibuda, who is a tiger general under the command of King Beiyuan. He participated in almost all the battles between the Northern Liao Kingdom and the Gale Dynasty in the south, and he has rich combat experience.
But when he saw the military formation on the opposite side today, he couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.
Before the army clashed, the scouts of the two armies had already fought for several rounds.
And the desire to win displayed by the scouts of Gale's army also surprised him. Different from the performance of Gale's frontier army before, the scouts of this army in front of him did not run away from the wind, but hung like wolves from a distance. They would come up and take a bite from time to time.
For this reason, he had to send an eagle rider to stop him, and then he forced the opponent back.
At present, their two armies are only two hundred steps apart, and they can clearly observe each other's military formation.
Alibuda had a look of self-doubt on his face. The Gale army on the opposite side seemed to be all cavalry, but for some reason, they all dismounted and lined up to face the enemy.
Moreover, the infantry in front all had firearms in their hands, and no spears or shields were seen.
This was completely different from the Gale army he had encountered before.
This gale army gave him a very strange feeling.
At this time, the deputy general on the side suddenly said: "Master Wan Fu, please give me a hundred warriors. I will eventually break through the enemy's military formation and capture the enemy's general!"
Alibuda did not reply, but coldly observed the military formation on the opposite side.
He is a warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles. Fighting has become a part of his life. Years of fighting have brought his battlefield acumen to a terrifying level.
He realized that the military formation on the opposite side was not simple.
Moreover, he also noticed that in front of the military formation were some round iron pipes, which were two or three times larger than ordinary firecrackers.
He has more say than anyone else about what he knows about firearms.
Although they showed disdain for the firearms in the hands of Gale Man, they had to admit that the armor-piercing power of firearms far exceeded that of crossbows.
If you shoot at close range, as long as you hit, even the armored cavalry can't stop it.
But the Northern Liao warriors under his command couldn't hold it any longer. Since the Northern Liao Kingdom went south, wherever they passed, Dafeng's army had fled, and they had not suffered a single defeat. In their eyes, Dafeng's army Just like a flock of sheep.
Alibuda's hesitation made the lieutenants, commanders, and centurions around him look resentful.
"Master Wanfu, please quickly order the troops to be dispatched to defeat these Gale people. We will continue to plunder southward!"
"Yeah, I can't wait to grab some Gale women!"
"Hahaha, yes, the gale woman is as weak as water, but she is much stronger than our Bei Liao women."
"..."
Alibuda looked sulky and snorted angrily, "Shut your stinking mouths. Do you know what our mission is? It is not to go south to plunder, but to go south to keep an eye on the little emperor Dafeng's reinforcements."
"If you miss the Northern King's errand, none of you will be able to escape."
"yes!"
"Yes Yes!!"
Hearing this, the lieutenants and captains all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak any more.
"retreat……"
Before Alibuda could say to retreat, the Gale Army Formation on the opposite side suddenly broke apart. Then, two masters of internal machine surveillance suppressed a middle-aged man and walked straight to the middle of the two armies.
"What the hell is Dafeng doing?" the deputy general cursed.
But the next scene completely made them angry.
I saw two masters of internal machine surveillance directly cutting off the middle-aged man's head and spreading blood all over the floor.
After that, he raised the head high again.
"That is……"
The deputy general's eyesight was very good, and he recognized it at a glance. The head was that of their little scout leader.
This also shows that the person who died was their Northern Liao warrior.
Alibuda's face instantly turned ugly. In front of the two armies, they killed the prisoners, which was a naked humiliation to them.
All the Bei Liao cavalry immediately became commotion, and their anger was completely aroused.
Have their Northern Liao Kingdom ever been so humiliated and provoked?
Every year they go south to clear grass valleys and plunder the people of Dafeng. Even if there are only a few dozen people, thousands of Dafeng's troops dare not pursue them and send them out of the country as gifts.
But now they are being provoked like this.
These Northern Liao warriors were so angry that they cursed angrily, and the military formation began to become chaotic.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The Gale Army Formation once again erupted into a deafening cheer.
This was undoubtedly the straw that broke the camel's back, and the Beiliao people were completely angry.
The lieutenant held the scimitar at his waist tightly and gritted his teeth and said: "Master Wanfu, you should know that we killed prisoners in front of the battle and provoked them. If we escape today, and if this matter comes to the ears of the King of the North Campus, we will What kind of punishment will you receive?”
Alibuda stared at the two proud masters of internal control, and finally squeezed out a sentence through his teeth, "The eagle cavalry spread out from the left and right wings, and the tiger cavalry went into battle wearing armor and broke through the enemy's formation. The windy dogs on the opposite side, Leave no one behind!"
"yes!"
With an order, the Beiliao people, who had been angered for a long time, began to form an orderly formation, equipped with spears and bows.
In particular, the Tiger Cavalry, equipped with both men and horses, was at the forefront of the military formation, forming a sharp arrow formation for breaking the formation.
The Eagle Cavalry spread out on both wings and took out their strong bows and crossbows, preparing to provide fire support to the Tiger Cavalry.
Immediately, the brave and capable scouts pounced on him first.
They began to tentatively harass the dragoon formation. If it were an ordinary gale army, it would most likely be harassed by the scouts and be scared away.
But it was obvious that the Northern Liao scouts had miscalculated.
The formation of the dragoons remained motionless, not even moving at all.
This really made Alibuda panic, but he had no choice but to fire the arrow. At this time, he could not retreat even if he wanted to.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The horns of the Northern Liao Kingdom began to ring throughout the world.
This is the clarion call to march.
Just a moment later, a deafening roar came from the two wings of the Beiliao people.
The Eagle Rider moved first.
Eagle Riders who are good at using strong bows and crossbows are all excellent archers. Those who can be selected as Eagle Riders are undoubtedly the real eagle shooters on the grasslands of the Northern Liao Kingdom.
"Boom!"
The sound of the galloping horses became more intense and deafening.
When these eagle riders were fifty steps away from the dragoon formation, they skillfully raised their strong bows and crossbows and prepared to attack by launching them.
But what they didn't know was that the range of the firearms in the hands of the dragoons far exceeded that of the strong bows and crossbows in their hands.
"The first row is ready!"
"put!"
With a command, the blast of firecrackers resounded throughout the world again.
