Chapter 186 Recovering Yanyun Ten
"General, I have seen our army..." Yang Zongbao's troops, who had been chased for five consecutive days, are now unable to hold on. If they don't return to the team, it will be difficult to save anything.
Yang Zongbao picked up the telescope and looked into the distance. It was true that the army had already set up its formation there, but a flag bearer suddenly appeared in front of the army.
Just when Yang Zongbao saw this flag bearer, the flag bearer suddenly began to dance the flag in his hand. "Slow down... to both sides... take a detour... return to the team..."
Through the interpretation of the flag language, Yang Zongbao saw the above words.
"What does it mean to slow down and return to the team on both sides?" Just as Yang Zongbao was wondering, his adjutant suddenly reminded him that something was wrong on the ground ahead.
After carefully looking at the place mentioned by the deputy general, Yang Zongbao suddenly found that something seemed to be vaguely reflecting a glimmer of light not far away from the ground.
After carefully looking at it with a telescope, Yang Zongbao saw that a thin steel wire floated in front of him less than a foot high from the ground.
Due to the continuous rain and rain, the land is now muddy and the sun is not very sufficient. If someone had not reminded me, there would be no way to see this thin steel wire.
This made Yang Zongbao feel a little cold sweat. If there were no double reminders from the flag language and the adjutant, he would probably have rushed over with his troops, and the war horse under his crotch would be released directly by this "tripper".
After wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Yang Zongbao shouted that the little girl was insidious. The trunk horseshot can be said to be the most effective way to deal with the cavalry with only the legs exposed outside. What's more, such a "trunk horseshot" is still very hidden.
After bypassing this trip masso according to the route specified in the flag verb, the team led by Yang Zongbao finally returned to the large army. The process of fraud for several consecutive days made the team very tired.
Under the arrangement of Yang Yanzhao, the team was arranged to be rectified in the rear, but Yang Zongbao was kept.
"Are they really coming with you?" When Zhao Ling'er saw Yang Zongbao, she was concerned about whether the Khitans had come with you. If the Khitans did not come with you, all of what she did would be in vain.
Yang Zongbao, who was still gasping, slapped his chest: "Follow, follow me, if their heavy cavalry hadn't slowed down the marching speed too much, our troops might not have been able to run back with all shadows."
When Zhao Linger heard Yang Zongbao say this, she felt relieved.
However, at this time, Yang Zongbao had some questions to ask Zhao Ling'er. The layout of the steel wire tripping rope is easier to understand, but what are the strange weapons in the hands of those forward soldiers?
Just when Yang Zongbao and his team returned to the team, he saw that the forwards of the large army did not hold rifles as before, but stood at the front of the team with a somewhat like a Ge weapon. Not only were they holding a Ge weapon but not Ge weapon, but each of them also had a machete on their waists. They really didn't understand what kind of outfit this was.
"Princess, what are those strange weapons?"
"This." Zhao Ling'er ordered someone to take a weapon that looks like Ge but not Ge and handed it to Yang Zongbao, "I'll name him the Scythe Gun."
Yang Zongbao took the sickle and took a closer look. It turned out that the sickle and gun were forcibly welded the ordinary sickle used by farmers to mow grass onto ordinary spears.
Judging from this rough workmanship, Zhao Linger probably made this thing temporarily.
Yang Zongbao guessed correctly. This thing was indeed made by Zhao Ling'er. She collected all the sickles used by farmers to mow grass in Wei County, and then summoned a large number of blacksmiths to weld the sickles and cast them onto the spear, and then made such a thing out.
"What is this thing for?"
"It's used to hook horse legs." Zhao Ling'er asked the hook and sickle spear to make a hook horse legs move. She saw the sickle draw an arc in the air.
Yang Zongbao could imagine that the only Khitan heavy cavalry who was not protected should suffer when the horse legs of such a weapon were encountered.
At this moment, the scout in front came back and reported that the Khitans were coming.
Upon hearing this news, Zhao Linger decisively stopped the conversation with Yang Zongbao, and then found Yang Yanzhao and signaled that the entire battle could begin.
...
The Khitans who had been with the Song army for many days were actually the same as Yang Zongbao's squad at this moment, and they were a little over-expendable. If it were not for the willpower to completely defeat the Song army, this pursuit would have been unable to continue.
When the entire Khitan army entered this valley, the head coach Xiao Qi felt a chill. Such a field was really unfavorable for the Khitans' current tactic of heavy cavalry in the middle and then flying with the light cavalry on both sides.
Once the heavy cavalry is in position, it will basically occupy the main roads in the middle of the valley, and there will not be much space for the light cavalry to advance.
In this way, what to do if the heavy cavalry can't play around is a huge problem. After all, it is really difficult to change the array by the iron-locked Hengjiang.
However, Xiao Qi did not say this to Yelu Hugu, because he knew that it would be useless to say this to this veteran now. He was already blinded by the meritorious service.
The war was indeed as Xiao Qi expected. Since the light cavalry did not go out from both wings to encircle, Yelu Hugu decisively left the light cavalry behind, hoping that the heavy cavalry could be crushed directly.
You should know that although the terrain here is not wide enough for the Khitans, in the eyes of the Khitans, such width is also not enough for the Song army.
Many Khitans even laughed at the Song army for choosing a place where they could not escape for a decisive battle.
But they didn't expect that the Song army did not plan to escape at all. Although they could not use cannons in such wet weather, under Zhao Linger's meticulous planning, the Song army now had the confidence to defeat the Khitans in one fell swoop.
The Khitans, who had never expected the failure, began to rush towards the Song army infantry who had already formed their formation at full speed under the command of Yelu Hugu.
But just when the first row of heavy cavalry rushed to a distance from the Song army formation, the knights suddenly felt that the mounts under their crotch had lost their balance and fell head-down.
Since each row of cavalry is connected by chains, when the first person is slaughtered, the others are taken down one after another.
