The red sun rises over the Loess Mountains,
The swords are shining, the arrows are raining, and the troops are fighting.
What's the reason for the bad fate?
Half of the country, half of the family,
A mountain of corpses and bones bathed in blood
Buried on both sides of the foreign land.
The soul cannot return, and there are two lines of tears.
It rains heavily in my hometown.
What a desolate thing to say.
The ground in the northwest is trembling, the horses' hooves are beating fast, and the awe-inspiring energy is filling the sky under the early sun.
Zhao Zhengli led forty elite cavalry troops to attack and flee for more than thirty miles. The Khitan cavalry behind them set up their bows and fired arrows. Zhao Zhengli stretched out his true energy giant palm to grab the sharp arrows in the air, and threw them backwards like a rain of arrows. Densely covered, bringing up rolling loess.
"Puff puff!"
All that could be heard was blood splattering in the air from behind, horses neighing, and soldiers falling off their horses and wailing all over the place.
However, such methods are still difficult to deter the resentful soldiers, who are all desperate to defeat them.
The infantry behind the Khitan cavalry were ten miles away, fighting and retreating with the thousands of Qing soldiers who were pursuing them.
The tactics of the velvet soldiers were sound, and there were very few casualties. Thanks to the command of Wanyanshi, who was riding a black-maned horse, the Qing Kingdom's original plan to pursue and encroach was shattered.
Wanyanshi could even find time to kill Qingguo soldiers, his true energy was rippling, and he was undoubtedly a master.
This cheered up the originally panicked Khitan army.
Wanyanshi was able to control all the troops in the face of danger. Such courage was rare among his peers. Even Yeluhe, the son of the Great Imperial Master, was not as good as him. No wonder Yeluxiao dared to hand over the full power of attacking Yanmen Pass on the eastern front to him.
Zhao Zhengli looked back at Wanyanshi, who was commanding the Khitan army. His armor shone dazzlingly under the early sun, and the two brocade hairs on his velvet hat swayed in the wind.
Zhao Dutong had no reason to think of the storyteller in Yafeng Village at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain. He often talked about the heroic deeds of taking the head of a general among thousands of troops.
And now Wanyanshi is undoubtedly the brave general among all the armies.
Capture the thief first. Capture the king first. A battle with him will definitely change the situation of the battle.
Coupled with his various reputations in Khitan, Zhao Zhengli was ready to use the purple sword in his hand.
After getting rid of the 1,000-odd velvet armored cavalry in the rear, Zhao Zhengli climbed up the hill and suddenly reined in his horse. His horse raised its head to the sky and neighed. He turned his horse's head and looked at the more than a thousand Khitan velvet armored cavalry. The forty cavalrymen showed slight surprise and stopped.
I heard Zhao Dutong shouting violently: "I am all here to charge the vanguard, and you will divide your troops into two groups to follow closely. This will dampen the spirit of the Khitan barbarians!"
As he spoke, Zhao Dutong, who was wearing soft armor, was filled with vitality. The Forty Iron Cavalry felt that there was a rolling heat wave surging on his body, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression, but he felt inexplicably safe inside.
"kill!"
More than a thousand velvet armored cavalry were charging forward. Zhao Dutong raised his hot purple sword and slashed forward in the air. The purple sword was like an immortal artifact. With a sound of "噌!", the sword suddenly transformed into a sword body several feet tall. , dazzling and dazzling.
"Boom!"
Several feet of sword body turned into a white light and fell into the thousands of velvet armored cavalry in an instant. Like thunder from the sky, the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked. The black velvet armored cavalrymen in the white light were turned upside down and blood spattered in all directions.
This sword fell and chopped off more than a hundred velvet armors, and the air waves spread and overthrew and knocked down a large number of velvet armor cavalry.
Zhao Zhengli, who was full of anger, rushed in first and reaped the "military merit" of the fallen, and the forty cavalry who reacted followed closely.
The remaining velvet-armored cavalry launched a rescue operation. Zhao Zhengli was like a demon king, wielding sword energy. About forty cavalrymen worked together to kill the fallen men and horses. More than a thousand people were visibly destroyed.
The remaining few hundred fled like frightened birds, prompting the velvet armored cavalry chasing behind them to flee in panic.
Forty cavalry detachments chased him.
Zhao Dutong, on the other hand, drew his bowstring full and aimed directly at Wanyanshi, who commanded the Khitan army.
"Whoosh!"
The sharp arrows filled with true energy were like dragons, striking Wanyan Stone with the power to tear apart the space.
"boom!"
Thunder rolled wherever the sharp arrow passed, which was caused by the explosion of air.
Wearing armor, Wanyan Shi stood on his head with thick eyebrows, swung a double-edged spear with one hand, and drew a ray of zhenqi that collided with the sharp arrow coming straight. The two forces exploded, the arrow shattered, and the aftermath spread. There were ripples in the air.
And the next moment, "swish, swish" followed by several sharp arrows, all of which were comparable to the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.
Wanyanshi looked at Zhao Zhengli, who was holding a curved bow, through several terrifying arrows whizzing towards him.
The opponent did not dare to rush into the army to fight with him, but chose to shoot arrows and attack from a distance to provoke him. Although it did not pose a threat, it still made him tireless. If ignored, he will definitely continue to do so and still affect the morale of the Khitan army.
"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"
Wanyanshi chopped off the incoming sharp arrow, jumped up in the air above the heads of the soldiers, and headed towards Zhao Zhengli like a dragonfly.
Zhao Zhengli was surprised at first when Wanyanshi took the initiative to attack. He thought he would keep wasting his energy. After all, the Khitan army would be like a wild beast that had lost its direction without his command. Even though it was huge, there was no original danger.
After a brief thought, Zhao Zhengli threw away his bow, picked up his purple sword and faced Wanyanshi who was charging towards him.
"Dongqiang!"
The two of them left afterimages in mid-air. The purple sword and the double-edged spear collided in the blink of an eye. The air waves rolled and the loess covered the sky, shaking the entire battlefield.
"Click!"
"Bang bang!"
There was a deafening fight in the loess-filled sand and dust, and the terrifying energy hit the earth and the sky, completely beyond human fighting.
In an instant, the entire battlefield was focused there, and thousands of Qing soldiers seized the opportunity to surround and suppress the Khitan soldiers.
In terms of strategy and formation, Qingguo was far superior to the Khitan soldiers. In terms of bravery and fearlessness of life and death, the soldiers were slightly better.
However, the battlefield is no longer a street fight. If you are brave and fail to plan, you will be bloody and pay a heavy price.
Although Pang Luyi has a fat body, he is very skilled in commanding formations, and he has thoroughly studied the rapid changes in the battlefield.
To fight an orderly enemy, you need to form a large formation to fight, such as the Khitan soldiers commanded by Wan Yanshi earlier. For an opponent who is in chaos like this now, only a team of three or five people needs to form a small formation. The small formation and The small arrays cooperate with each other, so that the points form lines, the lines cover the area, and they gradually spread and encroach.
This is what Wanyanshi ignored. Perhaps the previous Yanmen Pass general was easily killed by him outside the city gate, which disappointed him so much that he ignored the temporarily dispatched General Pang.
More than ten thousand Khitan soldiers were eaten away one by one, and Wanyanshi was restrained by Zhao Zhengli. He could only watch helplessly as the Khitan army was defeated.
How easy is it to get away?
Wanyanshi could no longer concentrate on the battle and wanted to retreat with the remaining troops, because there was still room for a comeback in the current strength of the troops, and if the situation was allowed to develop, there would be a risk of the entire army being destroyed.
"Boom!"
Wanyan Shiji used all his strength to strike Zhao Zhengli with a palm, using the force to fly back ten feet, and then withdrew and returned to the already chaotic army. He cleared away some of the Qing soldiers as if to make up for the loss, and briefly gathered dozens of soldiers.
"Bang bang!"
Zhao Zhengli, who had stabilized his body, jumped up and chased after him. The purple sword in his hand immediately released the sword energy. Even if Wanyanshi fought back, dozens of Khitan soldiers were still smashed to pieces, causing the army to lose morale.
"Boom boom boom!"
There were several more collisions. Zhao Zhengli continued to interfere with his efforts to gather the morale of his soldiers, and the Khitan army lost morale.
Reluctant and angry, Wanyanshi even risked serious injury and forcibly gathered hundreds of soldiers to break through the encirclement.
"Puff puff!"
Who dares to stop Wanyanshi, known as the two prides of Khitan, in his crazy and desperate state? He killed hundreds of Qing soldiers one after another. Even if Zhao Dutong tried his best to stop him, he couldn't stop him. He was like a beast breaking free from its cage, rushing through layers of shackles to escape.
In such a brutal battle, Wanyanshi managed to fight his way out with hundreds of soldiers, and together with the 708 soldiers who had escaped earlier, there were more than 2,000 soldiers in total.
The army was defeated and fled towards Huihe River in Shuzhou to the west.
"kill!"
The Qing State took advantage of the victory to pursue. General Pang Luyi guarded the city gate, and divided his troops into two groups. In front of the two generals, there were dozens of elite cavalry soldiers opening the way, and at the front of the dozens of elite soldiers, there was a young man wearing soft armor leading the way.
Because they, an elite group, have been there before and are familiar with the road conditions.
Such a mighty pursuit lasted for dozens of miles until they reached the Qinghe River. At that time, more than 2,000 Khitan people had already crossed the river bank and fled towards the Gray River.
The Qing generals thought they would camp on the other side of the river to rest, but Zhao Dutong immediately suggested that they continue to cross the river to pursue them.
The reason is that it was unexpected. Although Suzhou is close to Huihe River, if this opportunity is missed, Khitan Shuzhou will definitely set up a defense line on the east bank of Huihe River and put troops into garrison. It will be a hundred times more difficult to send troops at that time.
The two generals Xiao Ke and Zuo Heng were in trouble for a while. Although the opportunity was rare, it also came with risks. After all, the mission of the Changning Army was to guard Yanmen Pass. Now that they had driven the bandits dozens of miles away, they had obviously won a complete victory.
When it was difficult to make a decision, the spy who reported Pang Luyi wrote back, saying that Lord Pang would approve the pursuit across the river, and added that if he was sure, it would be good to recapture the Sixteenth Land of Yanyun in one fell swoop.
The implication is, let your hands and feet go.
Zhao Zhengli ordered him to cross the river immediately, and the dozens of elite soldiers who had been following him did not hesitate to follow him. Because they had been in the army for so many years, they had never had such a hearty fight today, which made them sincerely admire Captain Zhao.
After the forty elite cavalry soldiers, nearly a thousand soldiers nominally assigned to Zhao Dutong also followed suit.
The generals on the left and right hesitated for a moment before crossing the river. The most reluctant one was He Wen, the commander of the small capital. His former subordinates turned into commanders of thousands of officials and senior officials. However, his achievements along the way made He Wen unmatched and even jealous. Now he is Even the generals on the left and right respected him. Zhao Zhengli suddenly became a figure under the first general of the Changning Army. He Wen felt aggrieved, but was helpless.
The two generals naturally took a deeper view than He Wen, the commander-in-chief of the small capital. General Pang had helped Zhao Zhengli many times. The secret behind it was self-evident, and it was not necessarily even related to the court situation.
Neither of them has the background of Zhao Zhengli, and they don't have his incredible strength. They chose to stand in the middle when the situation was unclear. They did not offend each other and performed their duties well. After making meritorious deeds, they drank the soup, and when they suffered defeat, someone took the blame. Thinking of this, the two generals naturally felt calm and harmonious.
Around noon on the 28th, the Changning Army of the Qing Dynasty crossed the Qinghe River and pursued Huihe River.
The defeated Wanyanshi set up an ambush on Huangtupo, giving the Changning army a heavy blow. However, the Khitans were still defeated. Zhao Zhengli still consumed Wanyanshi, while the remaining soldiers exchanged their lives for lives. This way of fighting made the outnumbered The dominant Khitan was completely frightened.
The Khitan broke out again and crossed the Hui River and fled towards Suzhou.
Changning's army pursued them to Huihe River and lost nearly 50% of their troops. Including the troops guarding the city gate, the total number of soldiers was less than 3,000.
Taking back hundreds of miles of Yanyun land at such a price really fulfills the saying, "One inch of mountains and rivers, one inch of bones."
In total, the Qing Dynasty's 6,000 soldiers fought against the Khitan's tens of thousands of troops approaching the city. They finally reversed the situation and won. They went out of the city and repelled them for nearly a hundred miles. The disputes among the Ten Kingdoms were also the result of a superior war. They were the first of their kind in the Qing Dynasty and had no precedent in history.
