Before the big battle, neither side knew what moves the other side would use, and they were all speculating on the formations the other side was likely to use.
Li Bin believes that although the Khitans have suffered repeated setbacks in recent years, they may still use their best tactics, using cavalry to make a central breakthrough against the Tang army.
And the response proposed by Li Bin is to "blunt its edge and break its wings"! That is to say, the strategy is to defend in the center and attack on both wings.
At the same time, Yang Yi did not intend to let the war unfold according to Yelu Deguang's ideas. After knowing that the Khitan had the intention of a decisive battle, he ordered Chai Rong to attack!
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
At this time, seven troops have appeared on the ground south of Shangjing City. It can be predicted that within half an hour, this land will turn into a mess of "big porridge"!
Chai Rong ignored Donghai Shiwei who left the city to attack his rear, and led his troops straight to the middle of the Khitan cone line of defense. In this "¡Ä" walled formation with the capital as the apex, the Liao army and horses could pass through the "¡Ä" There was traffic between the two wings. If the Tang army wanted to enter, they had to break through the upper capital or both wings.
The entire left-wing defense line of the Conical Line stretches for more than 80 miles from Shangjing to the southeast. There are twelve large or small forts set up. The terrain between the forts is high or low. The Khitan built sentry towers in the higher places. There are archers stationed above. To sweep a sentry tower, you must pay double the damage. In the low-lying areas, the Khitan diverted water from the Lang River to form a semi-natural swamp. This technique is obviously a Han people's method. It was at the hands of the Liao and Han armies.
There is only one place in the entire left wing line that is low and flat, far away from the Wolf River, and cannot be diverted with water. It is a natural breach, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend based on the terrain, and it is located right in the middle of the left wing line. So the Khitan built a stronghold here using stone and wood! It's called Niuxin Village. If Niuxin Village can be breached, more than half of the Liao army's left-wing line will be destroyed!
When Chai Rong just crossed the Leichi boundary, Yelupode ordered five thousand Donghai Shiwei to attack. But as soon as they left the city, Shi Jian sent additional reinforcements to Chai Rong to calculate the distance. Before Donghai Shiwei could catch up with Chai Rong, he had to sell his back to the five thousand right army tribesmen sent by Shi Jian, so he was forced to turn his horse around to fight.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
The Shiwei people are a nomadic people in the Northeast and the predecessor of the Mongols. They have complex origins, are widely distributed, and have many branches. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, they were said to have nine major tribes. From the northeastern part of the Mongolian Plateau to the northern part of the Greater Khingan Mountains, and even to the boundaries of the outer Khingan Mountains, some of the easternmost tribes are close to the East China Sea and even Sakhalin Island, so they are called East China Sea Shiwei, and they are the most wild among the Shiwei tribes.
That is a hunting tribe group that lives among the black water and white mountains. It is on the border with the women of the East China Sea and makes a living by hunting. The folk customs are strong, but the production methods are extremely backward. Even iron is rare. In recent years, they have been forced by the female straight women in the East China Sea to gradually leave the coast of the East China Sea and nomadically live in the middle reaches of the Huntong River Basin.
To the Khitan in its heyday, Donghai Shiwei was a group of natives who caught swans for them, but to Donghai Shiwei, this group of people had no idea about the general trend of the world. The so-called Tiance Datang is also extremely unfamiliar to them. To them, the Khitan was already a distant and powerful central dynasty. They had no strong loyalty to the Khitan. When the Khitan summoned the tribes to join the army, the Shiwei tribes in the East China Sea lost their minds. Thousands of people were actually gathered - which was an incredible population for them - and joined the Khitan army.
However, it was their eye-opening experience after arriving in Shangjing! To Han Yanhui, who came from the Central Plains, going to Beijing was nothing more than a state, county and city, but to Donghai Shiwei, it was like a legend in the sky. If they don't die in this war, then participating in the war will be a huge profit for them.
Because last winter, in order to increase combat effectiveness, Yelu Deguang opened the arsenal in Beijing for the first time and armed this most barbaric tribe. Donghai Shiwei's previous weapons were a combination of wood, stone, and bone! They are extremely strong and can shoot down ferocious beasts with arrow clusters made of bones, but their bows and arrows are not strong and their swords are weak. Even their mounts are the kind of northeastern mountain horses that can only travel through mountains but are not suitable for plain fighting - which makes Yelu even more uncomfortable. What made Deguang dumbfounded was that when Wei Zhong, the five thousand Donghai Shishi, first arrived, there were dozens of people riding pigs!
That¡¯s right! pig! The wild boar was tamed by some unknown means!
So Yelu Deguang had to change their bows and arrows, their swords, and even their horses!
In terms of weapon quality, the equipment Donghai Shiwei received was almost the worst, but compared to their original equipment, it had already crossed more than one level. Therefore, Donghai Shiwei's initial participation in the war was similar to that of countrymen entering the war. I came to the city in a daze, but it was full of freshness. But after I got a complete change of clothes from the Khitan, I felt grateful to the Khitan, so I left the city this time.Fighting very hard.
After they left the city, they only knew that the Khitan master asked them to fight the attacking troops, but when they walked halfway, they found someone coming to attack their backs. These Donghai Shiwei had no military literacy and did not even have the concept of strictly obeying orders. , for them, fighting is just fighting, but one advantage is that if they are brave, if someone attacks them from behind, they will forget their original purpose and turn around to fight!
Last winter, Linhuang Mansion suffered extremely heavy losses. In the absence of various supplies, many tribes suffered severe physical losses in the bitter cold due to insufficient supplies. However, Donghai Shiwei may be the most cold-resistant in Shangjing City. As a nation, their skins are not much worse than those of wild beasts, and the winter in Linhuang Mansion is nothing to them. On the contrary, the food sent by the Khitan is enough for them, so among the various ethnic groups in Shangjing, they have a very good With all his energy and physical strength, he turned back and attacked the five thousand troops sent by Shi Jian in a way that was so scattered that it was completely disorganized.
This is not a battle, but a group fight.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
If Donghai Shiwei faced the long-range shooting troops of the Central Plains, they would be defeated before they could take over. If Donghai Shiwei faced the main force of Yingyang, even five hundred cavalry would be enough to overwhelm them. Everything was broken. If Donghai Shiwei faced Xi Sheng's Mo Dao Battle Ax Formation, it would be a pile of moving meat walking towards the meat grinder.
But those coming from the opposite side were the Mobei Tribal Army under Shi Jian's command. In terms of the level of tribal civilization. They are one level higher than Donghai Shiwei, but three points lower in terms of ferocity. They already have the concept of "war" in their minds, and they also know how the "battle for hegemony" between Tiance and Khitan is. It happened, but their morale was very low, unlike Donghai Shiwei who had a heart to repay Khitan. They had no choice but to join the Tang army.
Therefore, as soon as the two teams clashed, Donghai Shiwei, who was not very accustomed to the war horses he replaced from the Khitan, fell into a passive position. They were smashed into several pieces. Five thousand Donghai Shiwei faced five thousand Tang Mobei tribesmen. That was a big battle involving ten thousand people. These Donghai Shiwei came from the distant mountains and were composed of countless small tribes. Usually, the most fights they saw were hundreds of people. Now they were suddenly in such a large battle. I was always at a loss.
But. The biggest advantage of these arrogant and delicate people is that they are not afraid! People who are not afraid of the battlefield will quickly adapt to it. Five thousand people almost follow their own instincts, and hundreds or even dozens of people fight on their own! If you are not used to riding a horse, just jump down and fight!
Their racial characteristics are so obvious that they can tell the difference between friend and foe without using their eyes, just their noses. If they are not one of their own, then they will be killed!
So after the initial chaos has passed. He quickly gained the upper hand.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
At about this time, five thousand Bohai cavalry arrived.
Bohai is a big family in Northeast China. The Mohe people established the Bohai State during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. At its most powerful, they almost unified most of the Northeast. Just as in the Republic era, people of all nationalities within the territory were called Chinese, in the Bohai State era, all citizens who identified with the Bohai State also All have become Bohai people¡ªnot just their main ethnic group, Mohe.
Bohai has long surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and worshiped the culture of the Tang Dynasty. Compared with uncivilized natives like Donghai Shiwei, the Bohai people were much more civilized. During the two hundred years since the founding of the country, they fully imitated the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty and learned Chinese. Wearing Hanfu and writing Chinese characters, they are extremely Chinese. In addition, their race is similar to that of the Han people. It is likely that there is a mix of Han people. If a Bohai person and a Central Plains person wearing similar clothes are put together, Zhang Mai may not be able to distinguish them. Find out who is Han Chinese!
To Shi Wei, the Khitan was a "high country" with developed civilization, but to the Bohai people, the Khitan was just a barbarian tribe. The rapid advancement of the Khitan civilization was not only due to Han culture, but also related to the conquest of the Bohai Sea. of.
Bohai was destroyed by the Khitan, so they only hated the Khitan for destroying the country. They were afraid of the Khitan's strength, but looked down on the Khitan - the Bohai people's attitude towards the Khitan was actually no different from that of the Han people in the Central Plains. The Khitan's attitude towards the Bohai people was similar to that towards the Han people within the territory. It had always suppressed, exploited and restricted the Bohai people. It was not until last winter that it had to heavily arm the Bohai people after losing a large number of troops in Mobei. .
The life created by the Bohai people in their heyday was already close to that of the Han people in the Yanyun area. The food handed down by the Khitan was considered delicious by Shiwei in the East China Sea, but the Bohai people thought it was pig food. Therefore, the attitude of the Bohai people after receiving the equipment was different from that of the Donghai Shiwei people. Most people were not grateful for this. They were not very happy to fight the Han people, but they were forced to fight by the situation.
? ??? is a nation that already understands command and order, and it is also an army with a relatively complete military organization. If the Donghai Shiwei is completely a bunch of rabble, then the Bohai Navy is a relatively qualified ancient army, but this The morale of the five thousand Bohais is like saboteurs. They are trained, but they are unwilling to engage in hand-to-hand combat!
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Originally, the five thousand Donghai Shiwei had stabilized their position and were gradually gaining the upper hand. However, after the five thousand Bohai navy approached, they did not immediately cause a one-sided situation on the battlefield. They did not even rush into the battlefield immediately to fight with them. Donghai Shiwei responded, but gradually approached in an outflanking manner, as if he was helping, but also as if he was not helping, being too cautious.
And just before they fought with the 5,000 Tang troops from the Mobei tribe, 5,000 Tang troops from the front had already arrived.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Last winter, a large area of ??the Mobei tribe surrendered to Tiance, and Yang Yi domesticated them. As a result, the current southern expedition army has a large number of Mobei tribe cavalry. These Mobei cavalry have different levels of obedience, loyalty and combat effectiveness. Qi, and among them, the Mobei tribe, which was affiliated with the original left route army and now became the front, did best under the unification of Chai Rong.
Among the five-pronged armies, Yang Yitong has an overall view and cannot invest too much time in this aspect. Guo Zhang, Wei Fei and Yelu An Tuan spent most of their energy on pioneering and raiding. Murong Yang was overwhelmed just managing logistics. Only Shi Jian worked relatively completely on this area. However, Shi Jian's talent was limited after all. He doesn't have the charm of Zhang Mai or Yang Yi. He also did not have the commanding and management skills of Guo Wei and Guo Shiyong, so the Mobei tribe that was handed over to him was not truly integrated into Tiance's banner. Only Chai Rong devoted himself to this all winter, and used his unique method to win over many foreigners, and turned some of them into considerable fighting power under Tiance. Nowadays, the combat capability of the five thousand-man brigades of tribal troops sent by the front army is obviously higher than that of the five thousand tribal troops sent by Shi Jian.
Each of the five thousand-man teams of Tiance's former army had an orphan army centurion that was broken up and became its backbone. Most of these backbones were just kid soldiers who knew nothing last year. Now, even the lowest-level Orphan Army soldiers suddenly have at least ten subordinates. He showed excitement again. After last winter's training, he was able to maintain order and prohibition in the battle order. His combat aura and ferocity were far above those of the five thousand Bohai Navy, so they had a confrontation. The Bohai Navy was defeated steadily, although it would not collapse quickly. But it has fallen into a clear disadvantage.
At this time, the two tribal armies of Donghai Shiwei and Bo Haijun and Tiance Tang Army had already clashed and merged together in the south of Shangjing City. Twenty thousand people formed a huge and chaotic battlefield. Donghai Shiwei is in the far east. They gradually adapted to large-scale battles and slowly encroached westward. The five thousand-man troops of Tiance's former army are in the far northeast. They kept pressing the Bohai people to fight, and the two groups in the middle fell into a disadvantage at the same time. This battlefield of 20,000 people was deformed like a dough with both sides kneaded flat. In the chaos, Donghai Shiwei roared excitedly, the Bohai people Finding no way out on either side, they were forced to rise up and resist. The young commanders of the Orphan Army commanded their men to attack with shouts mixed with Chinese and Chinese.
At this moment, the 10,000 Bohai army who arrived from Qiandemen in a roundabout way arrived on the battlefield earlier than the 10,000 tribal troops sent by Shi Jian. These 10,000 people were not cavalry, but infantry - and they were among the Liao army. They are the rare mounted infantry in China. They arrive on horseback. After arriving at the battlefield, they abandon their horses and assemble. Because they do not need mounts after entering the battle, they can use their horse power when rushing on the road.
The 10,000 tribal troops sent by Shi Jian are still three arrows away from the battlefield. The 10,000 Bohai infantry have been assembled. This is a well-trained northern infantry, fully equipped with swords, halberds, bows and arrows. Although it cannot compete with Xi Sheng's Mo Compared with the sword and battle ax formation, it is already a relatively complete fighting system. They came from the northwest and formed a half-moon shape to the southeast. They surrounded the five thousand troops of Tiance's front army and approached step by step. They used their long knives to prepare to attack. Five thousand men chopped. At the same time, they formed a defensive formation when facing the troops coming from the southwest, piling unused horses on the outermost periphery. On the second level were a thousand spears, and behind the spears were two thousand archers.
Before the 10,000 tribal troops entered the shooting range, the Bohai Infantry Regiment had already fired the first round of fire at Tiance's five thousand-man team.
The young generals of the Orphan Army saw this and shouted: "Shield protection, shield protection!"
The weapons and equipment of these five thousand-man troops are not advanced, but more than half of them are equipped with a wooden shield. The young generals of the Orphan Army used Guo Shiyong and Yang Yi to train their self-reliance on the wheel platform, and they tilted their bodies very standardly. That small shield naturally protected most of their vitals.
Two thousand feather arrows fell from the sky. This kind of indiscriminate attack actually has a very low accuracy rate., if effective protection can be carried out, the damage can be reduced to close to zero, but while all the young generals of the Orphan Army were speechless, there were still more than thirty Mobei soldiers who were shot and killed.
Under the command, the two thousand archers from Bohai launched a second round of arrow rain. This time, the five thousand-man troops of the Mobei people were better protected than the first time. Only a dozen of them fell off their horses, but they still allowed the northeastern troops to attack. There was a certain amount of chaos, and the Bohai Infantry Regiment had already stepped forward, wielding a long knife and slashing at the five thousand-man troops!
That¡¯s right, it¡¯s a long knife! A long knife similar to Mo Dao! Although there were only 500 people in the core, they were still instantly trapped under the protection of the surrounding spears!
Bohai was not only a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, but also the Jizhou of the Tang Dynasty for a long time. Its leader was both the king and the governor of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, not only its culture but also its martial arts were deeply influenced by the Tang Dynasty. Bohai and the Khitan had a long-standing grievance and had been hostile to each other since the Tang Dynasty still existed. The war with each other lasted for hundreds of years, so they naturally learned the sword forging technology of the Tang Dynasty and the infantry fighting method of using long swords to defeat cavalry with infantry.
However, the relationship between the Bohai people and the Tang Dynasty cannot be compared with the four towns in Anxi. The Tang Dynasty allowed them to learn and imitate the military system, but did not teach the secrets of Modao. Therefore, this long sword formation is very similar to the Mo Dao battle ax formation in terms of weapons and formations. But it's still not the real Mo Dao Formation.
Even so, when the long sword was trapped in the battle, the five thousand-man team still suffered a lot! Heavy infantry that can hold its ground will not fall behind at all when fighting against cavalry. It can even be said that after losing its speed advantage, light cavalry has no advantage at all against long-sword infantry!
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
This place is already far away from the Tiance Central Army. Even after Yang Yi and Li Bin boarded the viewing platform, it was difficult to see the situation carefully through a telescope. But from a distance, I saw the light of thousands of swords coming in like a wall. Shining among the cavalry, Yang Yi couldn't help but think of his comrade who could no longer meet again!
"Is that Mo Dao?" Yang Yi asked.
Li Bin couldn¡¯t see clearly either and said, ¡°It seems so.¡±
"After the fall of the former Tang Dynasty, Mo Dao seemed to have disappeared in the Central Plains. I didn't expect that this method of warfare was still preserved in both the east and west!"
"Look at the flag, it should be the Bohai people and horses." Li Bin said: "The northwest belongs to Longyou Road, and the northeast belongs to Hebei Road. The two governorates of Anxi and Andong are far away from the hinterland of the Central Plains. Perhaps because of this, the Central Plains burned by the war have been preserved. Some gems.¡±
Yang Yidao: "If there is a Mo Dao Formation among the Khitan, it should be famous. How come I have never heard of it before. Furthermore, according to the news from the rear, the Khitan cavalry suffered a big loss under Xi Sheng. ! If they had Mo Dao Formation themselves, how could they be unprepared?"
In fact, Yang Yi¡¯s thinking somewhat reverses cause and effect.
Bohai originally had long-sword infantry, but due to various historical reasons. It did not show amazing power in front of the Khitan. After all, blocking battles like the Huanma Highlands were formed under specific historical conditions. If the Khitan had known that the Mo Dao Battle Ax Formation would cause such strong damage to the cavalry, Yelu would have Even if Deguang's head was crushed by the door panel, he would not attack head-on. He would definitely use the advantage of Qingqi to attack and harass - of course at that time, Yelu Deguang probably would not have thought that he would be defeated in a head-on battle.
It was after Tiance suffered a big loss. During class, I suddenly remembered that the Bohai surrender army, which had perished at the hands of the Khitan, seemed to have similar arms, so I paid attention to them and mobilized them to Shangjing.
But this is a force that has been subjugated for decades. No matter how much Yelu Deguang tries to win over and comfort him, it is impossible for him to have the courage to fight to the death like the Mo Dao Battle Ax Formation under the leadership of Xi Sheng. Let alone Tiance¡¯s Mo Dao. The forging and sword formation warfare methods were passed down from the four towns of Anxi and are authentic inheritance. During the Tiance period, huge manpower and material resources were invested in improving the weapons, and there were certain improvements in the weapons. The long swords in Bohai were just simulations, and they became increasingly abandoned after the fall of the country. Once they advance and retreat, the actual combat capabilities of the two are completely different.
Even so, the Bohai Infantry Regiment still showed impressive combat effectiveness, overwhelming Yu Zi among several units that had already been deployed on the battlefield!
When its 500-long sword formation attacked the five thousand-man troops in front of Tiance, the 10,000 Mobei tribe cavalry from Tiance's right route army had also entered the shooting range of the Bohai Infantry Regiment.
"change!"
In the infantry regiment, orders are issued in Chinese.
The two thousand archers turned around and drew their bows on command.
"shoot!"
There was another round of arrow rain, this time it was flying towards the 10,000 Mobei tribe cavalry coming from the southwest.
Amidst the screams, dozens of people and horses were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. Before the cavalry could rush closer, there was another round of arrow rain. The rain of arrows weakened the cavalry offensive of the Mobei tribe. The third round of arrow rain did not go out. TheyThey were already approaching, but what stood in front of them were ten thousand war horses!
On this special battlefield, these horses lying horizontally became the best interceptors, making it impossible for the Mobei tribe running in the opposite direction to use their horses' hooves to trample them. When the speed slowed down, they also lost their ability to face the enemy. Speed ??advantage over infantry.
The Bohai Infantry Regiment facing the west stretched out their spears and stabbed the Mobei tribal army. There are still 800 swordsmen in the infantry regiment, but they are not used as reserve troops.
Comparing Donghai Shiwei with this Bohai Infantry Regiment, the two are completely different. If Donghai Shiwei is still at the stage of relying on brute force to fight, this Bohai Infantry Regiment is a composite of multiple arms. type combat force. As for its combat command, there are rules for both advancement and retreat. If its enthusiasm for combat can be guaranteed, it is not an exaggeration to call it an elite.
"This group of Bohai people fought well!" Yelu Deguang nodded slightly as he went to the top of the capital city.
Although these Bohai soldiers were only generals of the Khitan's defeated army, an army that could compete with the Khitan for two hundred years before it was destroyed was, after all, not comparable to the ragtag group that the Tiance Army had just gathered. The Bohai Infantry Regiment, which was fighting in an orderly manner, was surrounded by enemies on both sides, but even without exerting all its strength, it still had a clear advantage!
In the century-long confrontation with the Khitans, they were very familiar with how to fight cavalry. On the one hand, they used spear formations to resist the 10,000 desert northern tribesmen, gradually consuming their momentum and physical strength. On the other hand, they used long sword formations to be flanked. The five Mobei thousand-man troops continued to attack. As for the two thousand archers, they no longer fired arrows at this time, but switched to shooting accurately at close range.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
The ministers of the Jin Kingdom (late period) who have been seriously sinicized in later generations once said that the reason why the Mongols repeatedly defeated the Jin Kingdom troops was that the Mongols "relyed on the horse power of the north and relied on the skills of China" - from a certain perspective. , the same is true for the current Khitan.
On the one hand, the Liao people maintained the Northerners' horse-based fighting style, and on the other hand, they obtained various war techniques and equipment inventions from the Han civilization. Before they were corrupted, they had an amazing combination of arms in the cold weapon era.
However, the current strength of the Tiance Tang Army is the other way around. They are "relying on the skills of China and the horse power of the Western Regions"!
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
"The ten thousand soldiers and horses on the right can't defeat this Bohai Corps." Yang Yi put down the telescope again and said.
At the same time, Shi Jian has also sent a request for instructions, asking whether to add additional troops.
Tiance's cannon fodder on the right wing has been exhausted. Although there are still three thousand tribal troops, with the current situation of the Bohai Infantry Regiment, it may not be able to reverse the situation of the battle if it is invested again. If it is to take action again, it will be the Longxiang Iron Armor Army of the Seven Prefectures.
"Although these Bohai troops are quite capable of defeating the cavalry," Li Bin said, "when the Longxiang Iron Armor Army was in Longyou, they often fought against the Mo Dao Battle Ax Formation. If they entered the battlefield, they would definitely win! It's just ¡¡±
"Shi Jian can't move yet!" Yang Yi said: "Let the front be reinforced! The terrain here is open, which is conducive to the cavalry attack. Add an additional 10,000 troops to form an encirclement. They will find gaps from all directions. No matter how strong this Bohai people are, they will use The numbers will overwhelm them!"
Li Bin was slightly worried and said: "There are 30,000 people in the front of our army, and 11,000 people have been invested. If we invest another 10,000 cavalry, the front of the central army will be empty!"
Yang Yi smiled and said: "I know that this opportunity is probably what Yelu Deguang is waiting for! Then let him come!"
The former troops of Tiance Tang Army finally took action again! Ten Mobei thousand-man troops were divided into two wings and galloped towards the Bohai Infantry Regiment. They bypassed the Mobei Thousand Cavalry sent by Shi Jian and outflanked the Bohai Infantry Regiment from the left and right.
When the vanguard of the ten thousand-man troops appeared on the left and right sides, the Bohai Infantry Regiment's formation began to show instability. If Xi Sheng were here instead, the formation was ready. Even if he was surrounded by a hundred thousand troops, he would still be as stable as Mount Tai. Like a rock! But the Bohai army, after all, does not have the strong determination of the Mo Dao Battle Ax Formation, which can remain motionless even if the mountain collapses in front of it, or can keep its eyes fixed on the elk as it rises to the left!
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
"It's time!" Yelu Deguang said at the top of the city.
At this time, the Khitan elites had assembled in Shangjing City and were on standby.
"It's time!" Sagau said in Niuxin Village.
At this time, Chai Rong's six thousand soldiers and horses were approaching his village gate!
"It's time!" Yang Yi said on the viewing platform.
At this time, he saw the Qiande Gate of Shangjing opened wide, and the murderous soldiers and horses lined up and came out!
The decisive battle, the massacre, is about to begin!
