Chapter 22 Cavalry Showdown

At the foot of Yinshan Mountain, a battle between the Xia and Liao armies was about to break out.

Li Yi shouted loudly according to Li Liangzuo's intention: "Your Majesty has an order to capture Yelu Chongyuan alive, and reward one tael of silver and one cattle and one sheep."

Li Liangzuo's words were obviously intended to anger Yelu Chongyuan. As soon as he shouted these words, it meant that Li Liangzuo did not take the veteran Yelu Chongyuan seriously at all. Yelu Chongyuan was naturally furious when he heard this. In Yelu Chongyuan's opinion, this was an insult to himself. When did Yelu Chongyuan suffer such anger in his life?

"Transfer the order, the heavy armored cavalry attacked forward and attacked..." Yelu Chongyuan issued a military order angrily.

When Li Liangzuo saw that the heavy armored cavalry of the Liao army had been dispatched, he immediately pointed at Jianfeng and ordered: "Tell me the order, the light cavalry will welcome the enemy."

When Yelu Chongyuan saw that Li Liangzuo actually asked the light cavalry to fight against the heavy cavalry, his stomach was cramped immediately. However, before Yelu Chongyuan was happy, the style of the battlefield changed. The Xia army's light cavalry, which was originally facing the Liao army's heavy cavalry charge, suddenly split into two groups and made a 90-degree turn, and the heavy armored cavalry of the Liao army shot arrows.

Because the heavy cavalry was wearing heavy armor and was inconvenient to move on the war horse, they did not equip long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows; the task of the heavy cavalry was to break through the middle and open a gap in the enemy's army. However, the form on the battlefield has changed now. The Xia army did not use the iron kite, which was also a heavy cavalry, to fight against the enemy, but used the light cavalry to hang the heavy cavalry of the Liao army.

Now the heavy armored cavalry of the Liao army seems very embarrassing, and they cannot chase and attack. The 30,000 heavy armored cavalry of the Liao army can only be beaten passively. Although the armor of the heavy armored cavalry can defend most of the arrow feathers, some arrow feathers also hit the rider from the weak point of the armor; under such an attack, the heavy armored cavalry of the Liao army kept falling off the horse.

Although the Liao army was at a disadvantage at this time, if the strategy was changed in time, the chances of winning were relatively high. However, Yelu Chongyuan was confused by the authorities and did not see the changes in the battle situation clearly. If the Liao army gave up pursuing the Xia army's light cavalry at this time, and turned to Li Liangzuo's big flag, and then the Liao army launched a large army to attack the entire line with a crushing momentum, then Li Liangzuo would undoubtedly be defeated in this battle.

But the problem is that Yelu Chongyuan did not do this. Instead, the heavy armored cavalry of the Liao army bit the light cavalry of the Xia army like a mad dog. After the Xia army was divided into two left and right routes, the heavy armored cavalry of the Liao army was also divided into two to pursue the Xia army. The heavy armored cavalry of the Liao army was gradually led to the main battlefield.

"King, you value the light cavalry of the Xia army, who are chasing by armored cavalry, flee in a hurry. I will win this battle!" The deputy general said with an excited face.

"Transfer that Xiao Dadan led the 50,000 tribal cavalry of Baidadan's army, and accompanied our 50,000 elite light cavalry to attack and kill the Xia army's central army and capture Li Liangzuo alive." Yelu Chongyuan ordered decisively.

"Get orders." The messenger took the military order loudly.

"General, look at those turtle grandchildren chasing you..."

Li Yi rode back on the war horse, and then said to the soldiers beside him: "Tell brothers not to run too fast, otherwise those turtle grandchildren will not be able to catch up at all. Don't forget to give these turtle grandchildren some arrow rain from time to time."

"yes……"

Looking from a high altitude, two iron streams on the ground ran forward desperately, and the other team was chasing behind. Whenever the heavy armored cavalry of the Liao army was about to catch up, the light cavalry of the Xia army suddenly accelerated the distance between the two armies and remained far away. The Xia army turned its body behind and turned its body to the heavy armored cavalry of the Liao army behind it to shoot arrows.

"Your Majesty, look at the main army of the Liao army is coming up..." The deputy general said, looking at Yanchen in the distance.

Li Liangzuo looked at Feng Chen ahead and felt a little timid. Although he was riding on the war horse, Li Liangzuo could still clearly shake the earth. After all, this was the movement from 100,000 cavalrymen. Although he was very scared, Li Liangzuo still ordered in a calm tone: "Tell me that after the crossbowman shot the first round of arrow rain, he immediately retreated to the mountain ridge. The Iron Harrier Heavy Armored Cavalry attacked the Liao army's light cavalry with arrow formations, pointing directly to Yelu Chongyuan's central army."

"As for orders..."

"Send a signal..." When the Liao army was approaching, Li Liangzuo ordered decisively; "The whole army attacked..."

With Li Liangzuo's order, four thousand iron armored cavalry armed to the teeth rushed towards the Liao army's 100,000 light cavalry under the leadership of Li Liangzuo. Every rider of Iron Harrier was locked on the war horse. In order to increase the attack power of the heavy armored cavalry, Li Liangzuo let every five war horses be together, so all the knights could only move forward but not backward.

"General, look at Your Majesty's signal..."

After seeing the signal, Li Yi immediately ordered: "Send the order, the entire army accelerated, and dumped these turtle grandsons and joined His Majesty..."

"The whole army accelerated tossing grandson..." all the cavalry soldiers shouted loudly.

On the other side, Jila Siyi immediately ordered after seeing the signal from Li Liangzuo: "The whole army is moving forward at full speed..."

After the 60,000 Xia army light cavalry advanced at full speed, the heavy armored cavalry of the Liao army, who was originally following, was immediately left behind and eaten ashamed. The 60,000 Xia army light cavalry, saw the signal from Li Liangzuo, immediately made a 90-degree turn again, and the troops pointed directly at Yelu Chongyuan, the central army of the Liao army.

Let’s talk about the 4,000 heavily armored cavalry led by Li Liangzuo. After the crossbowman retreated, Li Liangzuo led the Iron Harrier heavy armored cavalry to attack.

"Through, through..." Li Liangzuo shouted loudly.

“Through, through, through…”

The Liao army's Iron Harrier Heavy Armored Cavalry took Li Liangzuo as the arrow and rushed directly into the Liao army's light cavalry formation. The 4,000 Iron Harrier Knights of the Xia army each held two sharp-necked steel knives across the waist. Wherever the Iron Harrier passed, the Liao army's knights were killed and injured. The impact of the heavy armored cavalry and the sharp steel knives, the Xia army's Iron Harrier Knights did not need to swing their swords at all, and could directly cut off the Liao army's knights in the waist.

Although the frontal offensive of the 100,000 cavalry of the Liao army was very large, it did not play much role at all. The actual collision between the Xia and Liao armies was very small. The Xia army's iron-harrier heavy armored cavalry was like an arrow feather passing through the weak belly of the Liao army, after piercing the Liao army's light cavalry through the formation.

Li Liangzuo's Iron Harrier Heavy Armored Cavalry did not suffer much loss. Many of the Liao army's Iron Harrier Knights who used swords and guns to kill the Xia army could not cut through the Iron Harrier's heavy armor. However, the Liao army's leather armor was as thin as paper in front of the Iron Harrier Knights and could not be broken with one poked.

After the Xia army led by Li Liangzuo, the Iron Harrier of the Xia army was directly towards Yelu Chongyuan's central army after running through the Liao army's light cavalry formation. At this time, there were 70,000 infantry beside Yelu Chongyuan. This battle was crucial for the Xia and Liao armies. If Li Liangzuo could not break through the Liao army's infantry formation in front of him, the Xia army would be completely surrounded by the Liao army.

"Charge..." Li Liangzuo shouted loudly.

"Charge, charge, charge..."

Although Yelu Chongyuan was a little panicked about the sudden Xia army, he still ordered decisively: "The entire army was ordered not to defend against the large formation, the shield player was in front, the spearman was behind, and the crossbowman was in front, and the crossbowman was in front, and the enemy was in front, and the enemy was in front, and the arrows were pressed down; and the enemy immediately shot the arrows after the range was reached."

"Get order..."
