Yang Keshi's thousand soldiers even drooled when Wu Yanguang saw them.
Why did he wait until now to come out? Because both men and horses were wearing heavy armor, if they walked too fast, they would not have the strength to rush into the formation. Therefore, Dong Ping had to fight first as a cover, and carried people in his vehicles to resist. Finally, he reached the back of the Liao army's formation, then put on his armor and charged out in one fell swoop. .
A thousand heavily armored cavalry all use big sticks with heavy eight-corrugated copper hoops on both ends of the sticks. Even if tens of thousands of idle soldiers and horses are gathered, it will be difficult for him to charge.
At this time, the Xuanwu Formation had already turned away, and it was the White Tiger Formation that bore the brunt.
In this formation, all white flags are flying, and the soldiers and generals have their heads wrapped in white cloth, in response to the Taibai Gengjin symbol in the west.
Yang Keshi laughed loudly and said: "The Liao soldiers must have lost their parents, otherwise how can they all wear mourning? All the sons, don't pay attention to the movement of his formation, follow the general and go forward to kill him!"
While he was talking, the Liao soldiers in the White Tiger Formation were already in action. They opened their bows and fired their crossbows, firing arrows like a flood. Dozens of artillery carts fired at the same time, and iron pellets the size of half a kilogram were struck like hail.
The white tiger is the best at attacking. In terms of sharp attacks, this formation ranks first among the Taiyi Huntian Elephant Formation. If other Song troops encountered it, would they be killed in an instant?
However, Yang Keshi's heavy cavalry with white stilts was his nemesis. All the soldiers lowered their heads and heard an endless clanging sound, just like rain of iron hitting copper bananas against his rain of arrows. The iron bullets rushed straight up.
These heavy cavalry, both men and horses, were all lined with leather armor under the iron armor. The bows and arrows penetrated the iron armor and were exhausted. The few that penetrated the leather armor and penetrated the flesh were only two or three points. They did not damage their lives, but instead stimulated their movements. Murderous intent.
Those iron bullets hit many soldiers and made them dizzy, but few of them fell off their horses and died.
As the old saying goes, the sky tilts to the northwest and the earth sinks to the southeast. The heaven and earth are not yet complete.
If heaven and earth are like this, let alone everything in the world? Since ancient times, no one has taken advantage of everything, and this formation is also average.
Like this White Tiger Formation, its attacks are extremely sharp and its operation changes, but it is not as good as other formations.
Just because the original intention of setting up this formation was to maximize the attack, his formation must be good at attacking but not at defending.
Seeing the rain of arrows and iron cannons with no results, the Liao soldiers couldn't help but panic. The white tiger flag rolled in the formation. The crossbowmen in front retreated one after another. The Liao soldiers behind raised their guns and came out. The long spears were cold and cold, but they seemed to be growing in the plains. A steel jungle emerged.
This is the Bailu heavy cavalry that has rushed forward. Yang Keshi's eyes widened. He used all his strength to swing the Bailu big stick in his hand with a "whoosh" and smashed it in an arc from left to right, with more than ten spears. , and ended in response.
It was too late to say, but it was too soon. Before the Liao army could catch up, Yang Keshi's horses flew into the air. Several Liao soldiers flew backwards, spraying blood. The heavy cavalry behind them roared and swept away their big sticks. Blocking the gunfire, in an instant, the sound of hoofbeats was like thunder and the iron armor was like tide, pretending that the Liao soldiers' defense line was torn apart.
Tong Guan was on the city, surprised and delighted: "Ah? How could it be like this? The white pillars are all wooden sticks, but shouldn't these soldiers and horses be of wood? Wood can overcome water, he should restrain the Xuanwu formation. Yes, why did he become the enemy of the White Tiger Formation?"
Ma Gong said bluntly: The Tao of the Five Elements is profound and unfathomable. You only know about it superficially, so why do you still keep it in mind? He felt contempt in his heart, but he said urgently: "Commander, for whatever reason, General Yang has already disturbed his position! We can break it in one fell swoop."
Tong Guan's face was changing, he had a battle between heaven and man in his mind, he wanted to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, but he was also afraid of being defeated by others, he was greedy but timid, he just gritted his teeth and kept silent, clenching his fists to watch the fighting outside the city.
The leader of the White Tiger Formation, Wu Li Kean, saw it and was shocked: "This formation of mine is unparalleled in attack, but today I encountered an even more ruthless one, attacking with attack. It is my enemy this time!"
As he spoke, his teeth clenched, and he said fiercely: "I have received great kindness from Commander Wu Yan. At this point, I have to kill myself to repay him. At least he will behead the Song general in formation. This heavy cavalry is leaderless, so we can deal with him - you guys All four come with me!"
The four lieutenants: Kang Jinlong Zhang Qi, Niu Jinniu Xue Xiong, Lou Jingou Aliyi, Gui Jinyang Wang Jing, all looked at each other in confusion after hearing this, "You want to kill yourself to avenge your death, how can you drag the four of me with you?"
However, people under the eaves had to lower their heads, and they could only put on an impassioned look and roared: "I am willing to follow the Lord to kill the enemy."
Wulik'an took the lead and shouted: "Where is the Song Dog Master? How dare you fight with me, Wulik'an!"
This is the so-called "fighting by name". Yang Keshi was killing Liao soldiers indiscriminately. When he heard the sound, he turned around and saw a general of the Liao Kingdom. He was wearing plain robes and silver armor and a white horse. He had a phoenix-winged helmet on his head and a cold jade belt around his waist. They were all white. In his hands A pair of pure steel and silver jujubes were white from beginning to end. He laughed and said, "Are you the general of this group of soldiers wearing sackcloth and wearing filial piety? What a voice, but a good hand at crying!"
The heavy cavalry officers and soldiers couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
Listen to the official report: famous generals in the past, there are many "bad breath generals" who are good at scolding the formation. In the eyes of future generations, when the two armies are fighting, they would say joking and disrespectful words, which is inevitably frivolous. In fact, if you think about it carefully, The skill of scolding is really useful.
Probably because the armies of the past dynasties were mostly simple men, straight-faced, happy and angry, and the generals would curse and scold each other, so they could not help but feel that they were taking advantage. By laughing, they could establish a psychological advantage - don't underestimate this. Psychological advantage, morale, and military morale are often determined by this!
Readers may wish to introduce this: For example, if we are a soldier under Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, listening to the general scolding "three slaves with the surname", he is so angry that the other party smokes and screams strangely. While laughing, do you also feel that the other party is a slave? Are soldiers and horses not something to be afraid of?
Even in the arena of later generations, athletes sometimes become stiff due to nervousness. If someone tells a joke and laughs, the stiffness will be greatly relieved.
As a disciple of General Yang Keshi, these skills have been passed down from generation to generation. The underlying principles may not be as clear as mine, but they are easy to use.
Today, he attacked with a small number and took a detour. If he made a mistake, the main force would not be able to respond, so he was naturally extra careful. He laughed at the Liao army's Dai Xiao earlier and scolded Wuli Ke'an for being good at crying. This was all intentional.
Seeing that their general was so arrogant, the Song troops' morale increased greatly and they killed more ferociously. However, Wuli Ke'an was furious: "Song dog dares to humiliate me! I want you to die without a burial place!"
In anger, he rushed forward with his horse, and immediately distanced himself from the four golden generals.
A flash of light flashed in Yang Keshi's eyes, and Pegasus stepped forward to meet him. He saw that the silver jujube tree in General Liao's hand was thick and long, and he knew that he must be a good player. If there was a fight, he might be a powerful opponent, and if he angered the opponent at this moment, what would he do? Don't you take the opportunity to kill yourself?
While charging, he shouted urgently: "Help me!"
Yang Keshi's two brothers: Yang Kesheng, the second brother, and Yang Kebi, the third brother, both have courage that no man can match.
During the previous expedition to Fangla, his deputy Zhao Ming died, so he followed Tong Guan's path and promoted the "Iron Gun Master" Yang Kesheng to take charge of the Huanqing infantry. The younger brother Yang Kebi, who was only 22 years old, followed his elder brother. Being a cavalry commander in the Bailu Heavy Cavalry also has a nickname, "Iron Arrow Saburo".
Probably because other people's arrow shafts are mostly made of wood, but he has good strength. The arrows he uses are made of iron. No matter how strong your armor or shield is, they can still pierce it with one shot.
When Yang Keshi fought against Shi Bao and was plotted by his meteor hammer, the "Iron Arrow Saburo" wanted to use his bow to save his brother, but was beaten to the punch by the veteran Wang Shunchen. Due to some strange combination of circumstances, he failed to become famous in public.
Wuli Ke'an wished he could swallow Yang Keshi in one gulp. The two horses faced each other, stepped up, and stabbed him fiercely. Yang Keshi blocked it with his stick, and felt his palms were numb, and secretly said in surprise: "This guy What a power!”
Wuli Ke'an exchanged a move with the opponent and found out that the opponent's strength was not as strong as his own. He was overjoyed and was about to attack again. Suddenly he heard a string sound and a black light flashed out of the corner of his eyes. When he was about to dodge, he felt pain in his right chest and looked down. , a black iron arrow sank deeply into his chest.
Yang Keshi was overjoyed. He twisted his waist and hit Wuli Ke'an on the back of the head with his stick. The Liao general's strong figure shook, with a look of unwillingness on his face, and he slowly slid off his horse.
Yang Keshi shouted: "Ke Bi, cut off his head and tie it in front of the horse. This is your military merit!" Without stopping, he killed the four lieutenants.
The four golden generals followed Wuli Ke's horse. Due to the angle, they didn't see Yang Kebi firing an arrow in an attempt to plot against him. They only saw Yang Keshi exchange a move with his own general, and hit the general with a backhand stick and knocked him off his horse. They couldn't help but be horrified - - Wu Li Ke'an is one of the most powerful generals in the Liao army. Even Wu Yanguang would never be able to kill him in one or two moves. So how powerful is this Song general?
Yang Keshi looked at his words, couldn't he see the four fears in him, and shouted loudly: "A certain person is the military commander of Xihe in the Song Dynasty, and Yang Keshi, the observation envoy of Huazhou, please accept the four dog heads to make a military merit with a certain person." !”
The four golden god generals were shocked when they heard this. Kang Jinlong Zhang Qi, Niu Jinniu Xue Xiong were still hesitating, Lou Jingou Aliyi, and Ghost Jinyang Wang Jing were both worthy of a dog and a ghost. Get away.
Yang Keshi was overjoyed and secretly shouted: You idiot, you fell into my trap! The horse was like a dragon, roaring like thunder, and the white wooden magic stick struck their heads and faces, involving Zhang Qi and Xue Xiong.
The three of them fought for seven or eight times. Yang Kebi tied a human head with bared teeth in front of his horse and came to help brother Nai. He didn't even touch the arrow, he just opened the iron bow and let it go. The strings vibrated. The two General Liao subconsciously dodged, and Yang Keshi took the opportunity to hit Xue Xiong with a stick, causing his brain to burst.
With his liver and gallbladder split apart, he turned his horse to run away. He could not get away more than a few feet when an iron arrow whizzed towards the ground and penetrated the back of his head through his helmet. He was knocked upside down and died under the horse.
There is a saying: the coach is hesitant and dare not advance, the general is upright and does not think back. Sanlang Tiejian met for the first time, and the cold golden wind fell over the northern barbarians!
