The Yang brothers cooperated well and soon killed three Liao generals. The White Tiger Formation became more and more disorganized as there was no one to command it.
If it was an isolated formation and was charged like this by the Bailu Iron Cavalry, it could be regarded as a proof of strength and defeated it forcefully.
It's a pity that the White Tiger Formation is only a small part of the Taiyi Huntian Elephant Formation. Wu Yanguang returned to the formation early at this time, boarded the command vehicle, and saw the White Tiger Formation flags in chaos, and the Song Army's cavalry was straight like a sharp arrow. After fighting through, he knew something was wrong and hurriedly waved the flag.
The emperor's nephew, Yelu, saw this and hurriedly led his troops and horses, all flying yellow and white flags, and marched straight into the White Tiger Formation.
It turns out that his Taiyi Huntian Elephant Formation was completed after many years of careful practice. It is based on the large green ox Choutu formation in the center - probably because Choutu is the yin earth, which is in the north, and the green ox is the Khitan ancestral soul. Outside the base of the formation, four large, four small, and two layers of four-image formations are generated, which merge into the central main formation to form large and small five-element formations, and are supplemented by the lunar sun and the sun, so they can produce endless changes.
The one led by Xiyelu Dexin is the Little White Tiger Formation, also known as the Yuebo White Tiger Formation. It is derived from the Choutu Formation. It is made of gold born from the soil, which is particularly extraordinary.
Yang Keshi was also a veteran general. He was not obsessed with the enemy in front of him. Seeing that the White Tiger Formation was in chaos, he did not want to fight. He roared and went straight to the yellow flag in front to kill. He knew that was the central formation. If the killing was scattered, this The formation is broken.
Just after he came out of the White Tiger Formation, when he saw the Yuebo White Tiger Formation approaching, Yang Keshi shouted: "Crush this group of Liao dogs, and then you can attack his coach directly. If everything goes well, you will all be rewarded generously." .”
His attack was sudden, and the two armies collided in an instant. How could the Liao soldiers withstand the conflict between his heavy cavalry? A crowd of people fell on their backs.
Yelu Dexin quickly shouted: "Raise the spear, raise the spear!" Hearing this, the Liao soldiers under his command hurriedly raised their spears.
In his formation, all the troops were armed with spears eight feet long, and they were the enemies of the heavy cavalry. They could see them standing up in all directions, as dense as a forest, hoping that the Song cavalry would only focus on stabbing them.
Song Qi swung their big sticks to fight, but the spears were long and the sticks were short. Although many spear shafts were broken, some Song Qi were still knocked off their horses from time to time.
These cavalry have thick armor and are invincible when charging. Once they fall off their horses, it is difficult to stand up, and there is no need for Liao soldiers to kill them. The horses behind them are like canned meat rolled over by a car. It was a tragic death.
The two sides fought for only a moment, and more than a hundred white-stalled cavalry fell from their horses.
Although the losses of the Liao soldiers were far greater than this, how could the value of these spear soldiers be compared with those of hundreds of trained soldiers?
Yang Keshi's heart felt like a knife piercing his heart, and he shouted repeatedly: "Don't stop, don't stop, rush over with me!"
He was unwilling to fight, but the Liao soldiers were unwilling to let him go. Yelu Dexin shouted: "Surround them, surround them, don't let a single Nanman go."
Yang Keshi's rebellious army heard this, and when he glanced at it, he saw Yelu Dexin in white robes and bronze armor, using a seven-star sword in his hand, flicking the reins, and killing straight away.
On the way, the Liao soldiers were messing around with their spears. Yang Keshi danced with a white stile, protecting his body and his horse. How could any of them hit him?
It took a few breaths to reach Yelu Dexin's horse. Yelu Dexin was young and energetic, and he didn't know how high or low he was before he struck with his sword.
The two of them fought back and forth for a while. Yang Keshi used the "old tree entangled roots" move to knock away his sword, and then used the "long drive straight in" move to stab the center of the sword hard.
Yelu Dexin vomited a mouthful of blood, leaned back and fell off his horse. A heavy horse came from behind, and he screamed a few times before falling silent.
Without a commander, the spearmen of the Liao soldiers had to fight on their own. Yang Keshi took the opportunity to kill a lot, led his heavy cavalry to turn left and right, and broke up the Yuebo White Tiger Formation. He saw that the front was unobstructed and exposed. Yan Guang, who was in the formation, was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Unparalleled achievements are achieved in one fell swoop, you Liao dogs, here comes Yang Laozi!"
Wu Yanguang commanded the car and saw clearly, he shook his head and praised: "What a strong army! If the Song Dynasty had such fifty thousand troops, how could our country dare to think of going south? But after all, this guy underestimated my formation, and he just happened to eat it." Without his troops, the Song dogs will be frightened!"
Busily waving the flag, the soldiers moved together, Choutu's main formation shrank inward, and two small formations, Luohu Suzaku Formation and Ziqi Xuanwu Formation, came up on the left and right to cover and kill.
Yang Keshi's conflict continued. He saw that the enemy's main formation was very close. Unexpectedly, he retreated suddenly. He was surprised. Before he could recover, the red, yellow, and black and yellow flags on both sides were rolling. In the blink of an eye, there were another Fall into his formation.
Especially the group of Liao soldiers in the Xuanwu Formation used big axes and flails to rush at them, regardless of life and death, and slashed at the horses' feet with their axes.
Bai Ling remounted those war horses. Although they were also wearing iron armor, their hooves were always exposed. He heard a sad hiss, and the Song army's war horses fell over in pieces. The knights on the horses were so dazed that they couldn't get up in time to struggle, and the axes and The flail hit his head.
Seeing the rapid loss of soldiers and horses under his command, Yang Keshi was heartbroken. He quickly raised his stick and circled several times. When the soldiers saw it, they all pulled their reins and quickly formed a circular formation while running. They gradually slowed down and stopped in place. The knights on the outside waved their sticks and beat them randomly, while the knights on the inside took off their crossbows and fired, forcing the Liao army's warriors not to approach.
At this time, a general who had been with Yang Keshi for many years rushed to him and cried out sadly: "General, we can't kill anymore. Take us out while you still have enough power."
Heavy armored cavalry charge into the battle, but they are different from light cavalry. Although they are carefully selected and strong horses, how can they last for a long time even if they weigh hundreds of kilograms with armor? If the war horse is exhausted, it will be like a tank lying out of fuel. Shouldn't it be at the mercy of others?
Yang Keshi led his troops to break up two formations one after another. It took no less than two sticks of incense. The horse knights had spent most of their energy. Now that they stopped in formation, the breaths of the men and horses were mixed together, like the wind.
Yang Keshi counted roughly and found that the number of heavy cavalry under his command was less than five hundred. His breath was suffocated, he almost wanted to vomit blood, and he couldn't help but think of retreating.
However, thinking about it more carefully, he was behind the enemy. If he retreated at this time and there were no soldiers and horses behind him to respond, how could he escape the pursuit?
Beads of sweat the size of soybeans emerged from the edge of the bed, flowed over the eyebrows, and condensed on the eyelashes.
Yang Keshi looked with red eyes. In front of him was the main formation of the Liao soldiers, and further away was the city wall of Hejian Mansion. The Song flag on the wall was clearly visible.
He gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "My family has been blessed by the country! If I didn't send troops, that would be fine. I have already fought to this extent, how can I retreat lightly? There is no need to say more. , follow me and kill the enemy, even if you want to die, I will die at the front."
When the general heard this, he knew that the general had made up his mind. His expression seemed to be crying or laughing. He stared at him for a moment, then suddenly rode on his horse, shouted in circles at the top of his voice, "Brothers, have you heard this?"
"Since we have followed General Yang, we have never been short-lived in these years. We have received three portions of food and salary! Other brothers have been in arrears with food and salary. How can we, the Bailu Army, have been in arrears for a day? When I went down to Jiangnan, I was the one who was waiting for money, food and women. Before, we were fighting with the rebels, but we didn’t have to work hard, haha, does this mean we can only eat and drink but not fight?”
"No!" The general's voice broke: "This is called using good iron on the edge of a knife! We brothers eat fat meat, drink good wine, and sleep like big, fat women. , go into battle to kill, and only kill the most ruthless! Xixia Iron Harrier, Liao Pishi Army, other soldiers and horses can't do it, only our brothers from the Bailu Army can kill them!"
After hearing these words, the tired and bent cavalrymen couldn't help but straighten their waists again.
Seeing this, Yang Keshi opened his mouth and laughed wildly with red eyes: "Brother Ling is right! His name is clearly Ling Shuihan, and it makes my blood boil! Don't worry, everyone, I will The generals have agreed with the marshal that as long as they enter the main formation in the center of Liao Dog, he will immediately send his troops out of the city. By then, you and all will be heroes, with good wine, good meat, good women, white little ingots, and big butts. If there's anything missing, I'll give you my ass to play with."
All the troops laughed loudly when they heard this. Yang Kebi was so excited that his whole body trembled and he shouted in a high voice: "White Pillar heavy cavalry!"
More than four hundred heavy cavalrymen responded in unison: "Kill the enemy!"
Yang Kebi jumped onto the saddle, stood tall, fired eight arrows in a row, and shot down eight Liao troops.
The Bailu army cheered, and they all knocked on their horses and pulled their reins, and the solidified circular formation gradually began to rotate.
But he saw that the circle was turning faster and faster. After a while, he picked up the speed of his horse. Yang Keshi took the lead and instantly transformed into a long snake formation, like a poisonous python emerging from a hole, rushing out quickly.
Bailu's heavy cavalry had previously stationed their horses in formation. The Liao soldiers only thought that they were trapped and still fighting, so they surrounded them. Now they were galloping again. Yelu Derong and Yelu Dezhong quickly resumed their formation, but how could they catch up with the cavalry? He was suddenly knocked out of a gap and rushed straight towards Wu Yanguang's main formation to kill.
This is exactly what it takes: It takes only a moment to raise an army for a thousand days, and it is never too late for a strong man to work hard. If there are heroes fighting to death, how dare Hu Er dare to fight?
Note: Yang Keshi led the Huanqing Army, which was mistakenly written as the Xihe Army in the previous article. The Xihe Army was originally led by Xin Xingzong. After his death, Yang Weizhong took over. It has been corrected and we hereby explain, please understand.
