"Stay the outer ring, don't move!"

"Be careful in the inner circle, shoot the horses first, shoot their horses first! Artillery attacks the periphery, do not accidentally hurt!" The commander of the phalanx kept shouting loudly, and the voices resounded throughout the battlefield, mixed with guns and cannons, and blue smoke filled the battlefield, almost blocking all eyesight.

Di Zhi rode a horse and stood on the high slope of the square formation in the middle to observe the battlefield. A group of people outside were shot by a bow and arrow, but it was not a big deal. They were quickly pulled into the middle of the square formation and bandaged, and then returned to the battlefield. The enemy was defeated by frontal fire and began to run to the two wings, most of which ran to the river bank.

"Commander, do you want General Yan to open fire?" said the messenger next to him.

Di Zhi shook his head: "It's not OK yet, wait a little longer."

The Liao people thought they could not get on the boat by defending the river bank, but they had never thought about getting on the boat, and they had no idea that more than 120 artillery guns were aimed at them behind them.

Di Zhi calmly looked at the situation in the distance. It was not the time yet. These were just the vanguards of the Liao Kingdom, and the real main cavalry was still behind.

The main cavalry does not refer to how thick the Liao cavalry is. The Liao cavalry is far inferior to the Jing army and is not as good as the Western Xia and Jin countries. Most of the cavalry attacked by the vanguards do not have armor. Most of the main forces who face the enemy in close combat wear leather armor and not many iron armor. Only the Khan guards are well-equipped and heavy iron armor.

The evaluation of the Liao army by generals of Jing State is Wei Chaoren's most appropriate evaluation in the theory of the northern border of Guanbei: "The Liao army is good at credit cards, is shorter than defense, is beneficial to cavalry fighting, is frustrated by foot battles, is convenient for bows and arrows, and is cramped by swords and halberds."

Therefore, the Liao army "has many ambushed troops, cut off the food road, raised fire at night, and swayed firewood on the wind, and paid the salary from the food. It was shameless to retreat and defeat, disperse and gather again, and the cold became stronger."

This is the Liao army's style of play. The forwards kept harassing with their bows and cavalry, and were dispersed and gathered together immediately, and harassing them again.

The reason is that the Jing army with few horses cannot catch up with them. After more than thirty steps of bows and crossbows, the lethality of arrows and crossbows is very limited. The speed of arrows and crossbows is slow. The deterrence is limited for the flexible and maneuverable light cavalry. The Liao army will run after shooting. As long as it is not approached, the Jing army's crossbows have very limited killing effect.

But these are just vanguards. When these light cavalry attacked and exhausted the enemy and their morale was low, the cavalry with spears, sabers and axes in the rear would rush up to kill people, and there would be a large number of infantry behind them, which would be used as the main force to defeat the enemy.

This method has been fought against the Liao and Jing countries for hundreds of years and is extremely familiar with it.

Unfortunately, in front of the new army, the Liao army had no chance to "disperse and reunite" at all.

"Face B follows the order, first row, release!"

"Bang!"

“Second row, release!”

"Bang!"

"Third row"

In the middle of each square formation, there is a commanding battalion commander personally commanded. The square formation is divided into A, B, C, D, and the battalion commander stands on the high ground, responsible for observing the overall situation of the battlefield, the direction of the enemy coming, and then commanding which side to fire the gun.

As soon as the gun fired, the Liao army harassed the cavalry in the distance and fell down. As soon as the cannon fired, even the people and horses were split into pieces. The absolute lethality was so fast that there was no reaction time. The Liao army had no chance to "disperse and reunite", and hitting was equivalent to losing combat power.

In order to achieve armor-piercing effect, the new army's bullets have changed from the initial iron warhead to the lead-dried warhead, which is heavier and denser. Within fifty steps, the Xiaogang armor of the royal palace cannot be defended. Apart from one hundred steps, the thickest iron armor of the imperial guards can also be easily penetrated, let alone the Liao army with such a low armor rate.

The Liao army, who ran to the river, soon discovered something was wrong because they had practiced countless times in the square formation, all four sides had firepower strikes, and the side firepower cross-fire of the three square formations.

The Liao army was beaten to death on the river bank before it could react.

After several rounds of firepower, a large area of ​​Liao people on the side also began to flee. Some people jumped into the river in horror, and some desperately rushed to their side positions and shot arrows, causing a small number of casualties to the south.

But no matter what, so far, the situation has been as expected by Di Zhi. The vanguard cavalry who was struck by diversion was then defeated by side fire and completely lost their combat effectiveness, which was almost exactly the same as the situation that the prince would have when he faced the cavalry with this square formation for him.

The commanders of various phalanxes of the new army were commanding people to continue firing, shooting the scattered Liao army and destroying the living forces. They were too fewer than the Liao army and could not give the enemy a chance to scatter and reunite.

At this moment, Di Zhi felt the ground trembling under his feet, dust was flying in the west, and flags were waving.

Di Zhi quickly rode his horse and started running between the various phalanxes, shouting: "Stop firing, stop shooting!"

Soon, all the square formations stopped attacking the defeated army.

"All square formations, refilling and preparing for battle, hurry!" Di Zhi shouted loudly, and then called the messenger, "The messenger, slogan the flag, let General Yan prepare to shoot."

"Yes!" The messenger got the order and ran to the high slope, took out a bright colored flag, and began to whisper the flags at the big ship in the river.

The vibration of the earth became more and more obvious, and many people swallowed silently. Because of the slope of the position, they soon saw a long straight line in the distance, with a large number of cavalry covering the sky and the sun, rushing towards them like a tide.

"Stay! Stay calm, don't be afraid! Think about your usual training, these people are not as good as the heavy cavalry of our new army!" Di Zhi rode a horse and ran through the square formation, whispering loudly, constantly stabilizing people's hearts. More than fifty black-shirted cavalry were following him closely.

"Don't be afraid! Don't be anxious, let them get close. Think about the Liao people you have fought before, they are vulnerable and have no power to fight back."

"Stay!"

The earth's shock is becoming more and more obvious, and the sound of horse hooves is coming, and the main cavalry of the Liao army is getting closer and closer.

“Prepare, raise your gun!

Artillery ready!”

A long black line appeared on the horizon to the west and swept across the earth.

Di Zhi held his breath and put them closer. These vanguard cavalry were not haunted. It would be better to get them closer and shoot! He always remembered his thoughts when he talked with the prince about how to defeat the Liao Kingdom.

He pointed to the messenger next to him, and the messenger nodded to show his understanding

It was so quiet that only the sound of his heartbeat was heard. Smelling the pungent smoke, the horse was digging the ground uneasy.

One hundred and fifty meters

One hundred and twenty meters

One hundred meters

Eighty meters

Sixty meters

"Free fire!" Di Zhi shouted loudly, and the command flag in the hand of the commander also waved it.

In an instant, the sun was gone and the sky and the earth changed color!

In front of the new military, a large formation of blue smoke floated up, covering the sky and covering the sight. The cannons on the high ground in the square formation roared, shaking the earth. The ten large ships that had been silent on the river bank on the south side finally released their destructive power in this moment.

One hundred and twenty-two cannons fired, fires soared into the sky, smoke surged into the sky, huge sounds gathered together, the water surface in the river stirred up ripples, the head buzzed, nothing could be heard clearly, the pungent smell of sulfur filled the air

Finally, the wild beast that had been silent since the war began, jumped up and became the most ferocious dragon, making its terrifying roar!

What it bites was the unprepared flank of the Liao army.
Chapter completed!
