"Hold my command flag and kill thirty immediately!" Yelu Wuzhi's face turned livid. As he spoke, he threw down a vermilion triangular command flag with an ocher border.
While the order flag was still in the air, the military academy accompanying Yelu Wuzhi took the order flag and flew away.
The leather armor cavalry who had just been shot out of their wits by the divine arm bow and retreated en masse were stunned when they saw the triangular command flag and the large bodyguards holding long swords.
They all know exactly what the coach's personal guards are here to do.
A stocky Khitan armored cavalryman struggled to remove the domed helmet connected to his head, and knelt on one knee in front of the military school horse holding the command flag. He was the young general who had charged the armored cavalrymen just now.
"The crossbows of the Hexi thieves are sharp. Please report them in detail. We are willing to make meritorious deeds!"
After hearing this, the military academy hesitated for a moment, then turned around and went back to report.
In the Khitan Liao Kingdom, anyone with a suit of armor, whether human or armor, was very valuable, and the military academy also felt that it was a pity to kill them rashly.
Not long after, the military academy came again with the command flag, pointed the riding whip at the side of the young general and asked the man serving as an auxiliary soldier: "Who is this?"
"It's my second son!"
The military academy didn't say anything after hearing this. He suddenly drew his knife and stabbed his second son in the stomach before the young general could react.
"Daqiang Wen said, if there is another retreat, kill all the servants of the regular soldiers and cavalry! If we defeat the enemy's formation, Dazhang Wen will compensate you for his son!"
The young general's face lost all color. Looking at his second son who was still writhing and howling on the ground, he howled in pain, put on his helmet again, and retreated without looking back.
For a moment, the surrounding Khitan soldiers and generals were all frightened.
These elite servants in the Pishi Army are actually similar to Yongliang's armored soldiers and auxiliary soldiers. Most of them are brothers and nephews of the regular soldiers. It may be more uncomfortable to retreat and kill the auxiliary soldiers than to kill them themselves.
After a brief adjustment, Yelu Wuzhi ordered again with a solemn expression. He was actually quite prepared for the current situation.
Those following Zhang Thief must be the best among the elite. If they could be captured with a single charge, Zhang Thief would not be able to overwhelm Hexi.
However, the casualties were still too great.
"Choose another five thousand cavalry and attack one after another. Let Li Shouzhen bring his people over and let them take the lead!"
Li Shouzhen's face turned pale, and he knew that bringing him in for such a crucial battle would definitely do no good.
Those are Zhang Thief's Hanshandu and Yulinwei!
The Khitan people didn't know how powerful these two armies were, but Li Shouzhen still knew something about them.
You should know that neither Hu Cile, who went to Huainan to work as a slave of the three surnames, nor any of the brave Liangzhou horses under his command, had ever entered the capital of Hanshan.
"Li Shouzhen, a thief, you, this slave girl, have lost your mind and gone crazy, dragging me to work for the Khitans!"
"Thief-killing dog slave! Let me wear a layer of armor and fight against King Zhang's cloth-clad armored soldiers, and I'll give you a reward of three guan of gold. Do you think I'm a beggar?"
"Thief slave, Li thieves slave! Why don't you come forward? Let Liang Ren kill you with a crossbow, so that you can save yourself from harming others!"
Yelvwuzhi originally wanted Li Shouzhen's men to attack with a wave of crossbow arrows, but there were still thousands of them. According to their actual combat strength, they could not consume the strength of the Yongliang army.
But who would have thought that Li Shouzhen's 5,000 men, who had received three rewards upon setting off, would start complaining before they even started the battle.
All the soldiers scolded Li Shouzhen bloody in front of him.
In fact, it is not that the military lords are unwilling to fight. As long as the Khitan people can afford the price, they can fight a dozen.
But Sanguan Qian has to go to eat a super tough guy like Yong Guo's Shandu. Who should be considered stupid?
Li Shouzhen had long been accustomed to being scolded. Ever since he became a traitor to his country and had to beg for money to avoid paying congratulations, neither he nor Du Chongwei could hold their heads high anymore. It was so embarrassing.
What's the point of scolding? When they were in Tokyo, the whole city scolded them.
Even a fool like Du Zhongwei was scolded so much that he only dared to walk with his head down, which shows how badly everyone yelled and beat him at that time.
The noisy Jin army surrendered, moving slowly and complaining, but Yelvwuzhi would not tolerate them.
There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and more than a hundred guards rode up on their horses, launching a hail of arrows at the Jin army.
Even though he was using pierced arrows, the shots still made the soldiers scream.
And everyone knows that this is just a warning. If you dare to delay it again, the next wave of people who come will definitely be missing real arrows.
"Stop the fucking quarrel. If you continue to quarrel, the Khitans will kill your family members in Tokyo instead of massacring you here!"
Li Shouzhen was also extremely depressed. His words also made the surrendering soldiers scolded into silence.
Because their family records have indeed been impounded by the Khitans. If they dare to mess around, their family members will definitely die.
In the midst of the noise, the Jin army finally finished arranging their soldiers. They were divided into three large square formations and pressed towards Zhang Zhao from all directions.
Dundup immediately became excited when he saw the infantry opposite him.
"Your Majesty, please send your three hundred flying spearmen to fight. The Jin army may not be willing to fight to the death for the Khitans, but they can definitely retreat with one blow!"
"Okay! I'll ask Duojin to lead another three hundred crossbowmen to protect the formation."
After Zhang Zhao finished speaking, he pointed to the slowly moving military flag of Yan Jin's troops in the distance and called Li Cunhui to come forward.
"Cun Hui'er, you see, Yan Jin must have left the stronghold and is moving towards our army, and the Khitans must be just harassing and delaying with their light cavalry.
When Dundup and Duojin defeated the Jin army, you led three hundred cavalry to gallop out from the formation to harass Yan Jin's Khitan cavalry, cover Yan Jin's troops, and let him approach quickly. "
Although Zhang Zhao only saw Yan Jin's general banner and was not sure whether he had abandoned the fort and left, Zhang Zhao knew that Yan Jin must have led his army out, otherwise, he would not be Zhang Zhao The most trusted general.
Li Cunhui glanced at Zhang Zhao worriedly, "Sir, if the child goes out of battle, just in case..."
Li Cunhui wanted to say that if he couldn't hold on anymore, his three hundred cavalry could still protect Zhang Zhao and escape. Zhang Zhao waved his hand disdainfully.
"The Khitan commander on the opposite side still lacks the determination to make a desperate move. If he can order Wanqi to continue to attack and make a one-shot deal, then it is really possible for him to get on his horse and run away.
But he used the Jin army to surrender soldiers, which shows that there is nothing he can do for someone who is not decisive. "
Li Cunhui handed over his hands with a heavy heart and went down to choose the best horses, but Dunzhu was very excited.
Because the soldiers of the Jin army on the opposite side approached in a relatively neat square formation, and they had no crossbows.
Throwing spears are powerful and have a decent range, but they have a very obvious weakness.
That is, the effect on fast-moving and scattered targets is very low, and it can only be used to break the formation at a certain key place.
This is because the flying speed of the throwing spear is too slow, but the Jin army in front of them is a very good target.
Because they were dragging their feet and being dissatisfied, the hedgehogs gathered together.
Li Shouzhen was riding a war horse at the end of the battle. Now that he had lost his prestige, he did not dare to let the tooth soldiers around him go over and scold him.
If the people below are taking a slow pace, then he can only let them take a slow pace. As long as the Khitan people don't come up to urge him, he won't be prepared to speed up.
The soldiers under his command also had the same idea, and when they reached a distance of more than a hundred steps, their speed immediately slowed down.
Because if they step forward again, they will be within the killing range of the Yongliang army's crossbow arrows.
Their iron armor and wooden crossbows had long been looted by the Khitans. At this time, they couldn't even get a hold of them. If they were hit by an arrow, they would really have to risk their lives to carry it.
After grinding for a while, Li Shouzhen saw hundreds of people pouring out from the opposite side. He was about to order the entire army to stop when Dunzhu suddenly shouted wildly.
The three hundred men under his command were like berserkers who had suddenly taken a steroid, rushing through nearly a hundred steps in an instant, with a speed that was staggering.
Immediately afterwards, there were spears flying from the sky!
Dunzhu increased his speed to the fastest. He first threw the spear with his left hand, then took a big step, and threw the spear with his right hand. After taking a big step, another spear fell from the sky.
The Jin army was just trying to catch a fish, and they were not prepared. Hundreds of spear-throwing men suddenly appeared from the Yongliang army. They were caught off guard. Hundreds of men in front of the Chinese army were immediately thrown off their feet.
There were so many spears thrown that it was as if hundreds of wooden sticks suddenly sprouted where they were.
Panic quickly spread among the Jin army's surrender formation. The fearful, dissatisfied, and fishermen immediately hid on both sides, fearing that they would become the victims of the next wave of spears.
But Dunzhu did not continue to throw the last spear in his hand. Instead, he led hundreds of people and quickly rushed to the location of the Jin army's surrender formation that had just been dispersed.
These throwing spears are stuck in the ground and can still be used.
Because these throwing spears are carefully made, the front edge is triangular and the back end is petal-shaped. The front end is a short spear when facing the enemy, and the back end is a bone flower when facing the enemy.
Dunzhu and other spear throwers who ran directly into the Jin army's formation pulled out their spears and immediately killed them indiscriminately.
These surrendered soldiers were originally unwilling to sacrifice their lives, but now they were beaten and stabbed. Dozens of them were killed in an instant, and they simply dispersed.
Even Li Shouzhen jumped off his horse and ran to who knows where?
However, Dunzhu did not kill him because he suddenly saw a dense crowd of Khitan people appearing at the very back of the Jin army's surrender.
It turned out that this was Yelu Wuzhi's killing move. He didn't even think about the big role the Jin army's surrender of soldiers would play. Instead, he used them as a cover to let the Khitan cavalry dismount and lead their horses, and followed the Jin army.
However, what was a bit embarrassing was that Yelu Wuzhi did not expect that the Jin army's surrendered soldiers would collapse so smoothly, nor did he expect that Zhang Zhao would dare to let people jump out of the formation and take the initiative to attack.
So when the Jin army surrendered and dispersed, the Khitan cavalry in front had not even mounted their horses, and they met Dunzhu with their eyes wide open.
"Charge over!" Dunzup began to tremble with excitement. Aren't these cavalrymen who are leading the horses but not yet mounted, the best targets to kill?
He stabbed a soldier who was pushing a knight onto his horse to death with a spear, and with a hammer, he hit the knight who fell off his horse until stars appeared in his eyes.
Seeing the knight's feet being put in the stirrups, he stabbed the horse in the belly with a spear. The painful horse immediately dragged the knight away and ran away.
Yelvwuzhi originally arranged for five thousand cavalry to attack from three directions, but the two thousand cavalry in front were so unlucky that they were counterattacked without even getting on their horses, and they were immediately in chaos.
The knights on the left and right succeeded. They blocked the retreating soldiers of the Jin army and directly slashed them with their swords.
The surrendered soldiers were in panic and were forced to turn around and run towards Zhang Zhao, having to become human shields for the Khitans.
"Lancers! Assault! Anyone who dares to charge will die! I look like I can charge."
Zhang Zhao had no choice but to order the auxiliary spearmen to stab at the incoming Jin troops.
The Jin army, which was flanked from both sides, had no choice but to surrender. They either jumped into the water one after another, or ran around crying.
Yelvuzhi wanted to turn his troops into human shields, but he didn't expect the panicked human shields to directly slow down the cavalry.
However, close combat was also one of the armored cavalry's fighting methods at this time, and danger came inadvertently.
