Seeing the long spear held by the general under his armpit coming towards him like thunder, Xu Yan suddenly stopped on the horse's back, and missed the sharp blade of the spear from his shoulder with a slight difference. He whipped the backhand with a sharp sword light towards the general's face, but the general raised his hand and blocked it with an iron arm guard, and pulled out a string of sparks.

In an instant, two war horses galloping at high speed had passed by.

Xu Yan didn't look behind him, and the long sword in his hand slashed away at the two enemy cavalry who were following him, without any stagnation. The sword light was violent and fierce.

There were four closely followed behind Xu Yan, but when facing the fierce generals who came to attack him, they did not rely on the large number of people to attack him. Instead, they pulled the reins and drove the war horses to the left and right sides, wrapping the iron ropes connected to the two war horses saddle bridges. As the war horses ran to one side, they instantly stretched up and came to the enemy and the man with the aloof.

The general was quick-witted, but in an instant he could only try his best to make his body stretched on the saddle more, be prepared to accept the impact, and watch the war horse under his crotch crashing towards the iron rope.

The iron rope was not too thin, like a willow branch, but the enemy had already pulled the speed of the war horse to the highest level. The soft horse's neck was not protected, and a blood trough that was sprayed with blood was cut out in a flash.

The war horse stood up with its hooves and raised its hooves. At this moment, the enemy generals took advantage of the moment and leaped up with their long spear, and retreated more than a foot later.

After Xu Yan killed an enemy soldier, he did not advance towards the enemy general, but instead rode his horse to the left to kill him.

The iron wire rope is semi-fixed on the horseback saddle bridge, and most of them are even placed in the bag. The soldiers on the horse’s back wear metal gloves tightly woven with iron wire, tightly grasp one end of the iron wire rope, and as the war horses gallop to both sides, the iron wire rope slips out and becomes tightly tense at the same time.

If an enemy cavalry hits, the grease-applied iron rope will slip out faster under the grip of metal gloves, thereby avoiding being dragged down by people and horses.

Xu Yan did not chase and kill the fallen general.

First, the captive general was extremely powerful, and his body was not unbalanced when he was dropped. Xu Yan was not sure to kill him quickly before he arrived. None of the Chihu cavalry generals at the first level of the thousand-man commander could be underestimated.

Second, the elite cavalry who quickly lays out iron wires on both sides are the targets they need to protect.

Xu Yan's troops were mainly heavy armored infantrymen, and they rode on horses and walked on snow. Of course, they were very quick. Once they were dismounted and formed a formation, there were hundreds of enemy cavalry on the periphery, and thousands of enemy cavalry were constantly attacking. They also wanted to approach Ruyin City with thick snow, which would be too difficult.

Maybe it was a 20 or 30 miles away, and it was impossible to get through it for a day.

Therefore, even when he saw a large number of enemy cavalry divided their troops to intercept them, Xu Yan dragged until the last moment before ordering to abandon the horse to form a formation. The purpose was to get as close as possible to Ruyin City and to shorten the distance of the final formation walking into Ruyin City as much as possible.

However, if the heavy armored infantry did not complete the formation in time, they would be rushed directly by a large number of Red Guard cavalry, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Xu Yan could only use a small number of elite cavalry around him to open iron ropes to force the front line of the Red Hu cavalry that had already launched the charge, so as to form a formation for the heavy armored infantry behind him to gain as much time as possible.

The rhythm of the Red Hu cavalry was disrupted, which seemed to have only delayed more than a dozen breaths, but this was enough to drive the heavy armored infantry to drive the pack horse out to the periphery, with more than two dozen

Ten people gathered together in a team of people, put heavy shields on the snow, and supported their sharp spears outwards on the heavy shields, and welcomed the attack of the enemy cavalry in a more full posture.

This extreme tactic also has a price.

Xu Yan and his escort retreated to the formation surrounded by heavy armored infantry, but more than 30 people did not retreat from the vanguard line where the enemy cavalry had an absolute advantage, and fell forever in a pool of blood on the battlefield.

However, the flanking cavalry had no chance to organize a second charge at this time, and Wu Sanrong had already led the Khitan cavalry to approach quickly.

Wu Sanrong commanded all Khitan knights, and were good at riding and shooting, not weaker than Chihu people. However, in order to meet Xu Yan's troops as quickly as possible, Wu Sanrong did not hesitate to pull the entire cavalry formation apart.

Even when he saw a Red Guard cavalry attacking their flanks diagonally, Wu Sanrong had no intention of shrinking the cavalry formation to fight or avoid it.

For the time being, the enemy in Yingshang-Lugou is not considered. The number of Chihu cavalry gathered in Jiaopi-Quanhe alone is as high as 20,000. Once the Chihu cavalry is deployed calmly, they will have enough ability to block the outer periphery of Ruyin City.

If the cavalry dismounted and formed a formation, if there were no cavalry to cover the flanks, they would be constantly raided by the enemy cavalry on the periphery, and the battlefield was covered with snow and thick, so the speed of advance would be astonishingly slow.

This will actually cause the heavy armored infantry to be unable to truly participate in the next fierce battle, and the cavalry of the Selected Front Army took on the fierce offensive of the main force of the enemy cavalry under Ruyin City.

Therefore, even though the people behind him were cut off by the Chihu cavalry, about a thousand Khitan cavalry in the middle and rear were forced to scatter eastward, and people were constantly caught in the arrow or caught up by the Chihu cavalry to kill him. Wu Sanrong still gritted his teeth and led the remaining Khitan elites to approach Xu Yan's troops without looking back.

At least the Red Hu cavalry on the flanks were far from enough to completely encircle more than 3,000 heavy armored infantry under Xu Yan. After Wu Sanrong led more than a thousand Yan cavalry to join, he quickly divided into two teams, closely following the two wings of the heavy armored infantry formation.

A sharp arrow was shot in the gap between the left shoulder blade. Wu Sanrong sat on the horse's back and untied his shoulders, arm armor, and asked the guards to bandage him. He looked around in the distance, and the Khitan cavalry, who were cut off in the waist, gathered again in front of a small wood more than ten miles away to the east, but estimated that almost two hundred people died in battle.

"You kid is too fierce. You rushed so close to get off the horse and form a formation!"

Seeing Xu Yan riding his horse, Wu Sanrong cursed with a smile.

"If you are not so fierce, how can you catch this bad battle?" Xu Yan grinned, "Next, you will guard the side and rear wings for us, and I will transfer another 600 armored infantry to obey your command?"

Wu Sanrong's troops are mainly light armored cavalry, and now only more than a thousand people come to meet. If you want to completely cover the two wings of the heavy armored invasion formation with a scale of 3,000 people, and cover the heavy armored invasion formation directly through the battlefield covered by the Red Hun Cavalry, it is somewhat difficult and will slow down the speed.

In order to restrain the main force of Chihu cavalry on the front battlefield of Ruyin South City as much as possible, Shi Hu had ordered the cavalry under the city to launch an attack on the voluntary force, and was fighting fiercely with Chihu cavalry on the battlefield south of Ruyin City.

Now they can only share the pressure of the cavalry under the city by entering the battlefield from the south as quickly as possible, and at the same time give the Chihu cavalry the greatest damage.

The front and side front of the heavy armored invasion formation are exposed, and even further unfold to catch the enemy. The speed of advancement should of course be faster, but it will also make the side and rear weaker. Cavalry requires a mixed group of sword-armored soldiers who abandoned their shields to protect them closely, so as not to let the enemy cavalry pass through.

able.

"good!"

Wu Sanrong immediately summoned his subordinates to quickly discuss the corresponding combat strategies, and the horn of "Wuwuwu" sounded quickly and low:

A cone-shaped array composed of three five hundred armored soldiers formed the front and side front arrays of the entire array. The square array composed of three five hundred armored soldiers followed closely and advanced forward; more than a thousand Khitan cavalry mixed up with more than 400 Mo sword armored soldiers to cover the side and back with the anti-crane wing formation.

When cavalry traveled on horseback, the area of ​​the battlefield covered by the cover was much larger than that of simple infantrymen.

The evil battles that broke out at the Ruyin City at that time were only slightly higher than those of the Selected Front Army, but some of the Selected Front Army needed to stay in the city and suppress the counterattack of the defenders, and some were heavy armor infantry. Therefore, on the entire battlefield, it made people feel that the Chihu Cavalry had an absolute advantage in the investment of troops.

Xu Yan and Wu Sanrong led the heavy armored step formation to the battlefield from the south side, and they even felt the illusion of falling into the vast ocean.

However, the three thousand armoured soldiers are the most elite soldiers in Dayue. Even though they had experienced the uninterrupted marching of wind and snow all night, they were exhausted very much, but they were still full of fighting spirit.

That is, the vision was completely blocked. Facing wave after wave of enemy cavalry coming like a torrent, he was also unswervingly advancing towards Ruyin South City like a rock.

Morihu had no other choice at this moment and could not retreat.

He knew very well that only by repelling or even defeating the troops that raided Ruyin could not only turn the danger into safety, but also make the 60,000 troops gathered in Jiaopi-Quanhe to become safe, without worrying about being surrounded and annihilated by the main forces of the Southern Army, and even turning the danger into victory.

If Ruyin had been completely captured before the Hanshi period, he might have chosen to retreat and guard the two floating bridges north of Quanhe. However, at this time, Ruyin was not completely destroyed, but even most of the defenders were still vigilant. Under the control of Sun Yanzhou, Hu Dangzhou and others, if he did not fight at this time, he would probably not have the courage to appear in the battlefield where the elites of Jingxiang would confront him again.

What's more, they firmly have the advantage of military strength outside the city at this time. As long as they launch an extremely firm attack, they can also inspire the fighting spirit of the Ruyin defenders and launch a counterattack from within the city, thereby gaining greater advantages.

Of course, he knew that there were a large number of elite cavalry soldiers in Jingxiang that were approaching Ruyin quickly, but in addition to sending a small number of cavalry to harass and delaying their advancement, he believed that the 20,000 elite cavalry gathered in Yingshang-Lugou of Pingyan Sect could reach the Ruyin battlefield as soon as afternoon.

This also means that even if he fought against the 20,000 cavalry under Shan Xue and fought all, as long as he was hit hard enough for Jingxiang's raid, the final victory would still belong to them.

Mo Lihu also knew that nearly 200,000 main troops in the southern army were unswervingly advancing to Jiaopi-Quanhe River, and the distance to Ruyin City was also getting closer at every moment. The time left for him was very limited, and he could not use traditional tactics to exhaust the Jingxiang raids, and he could only attack and then attack.

Therefore, the attacks were disintegrated again and again, Molihu still resolutely invested his troops to launch a new attack.

Use dense cavalry formations to attack heavy armor infantry, use heavy armor cavalry to fight heavy armor cavalry, and use light armor cavalry to resist light armor cavalry.

After the offensive was disintegrated, the cavalry retreated from the front line quickly regrouped and were ready to enter a new round of battle at any time.

Moli suddenly turned the entire battlefield in the south of Ruyin City into a flesh-and-blood grinder for both sides to see who can hold on to the end...
Chapter completed!
