Barbarians without armor are the most vulnerable.
As long as you can't block the horse-slaying sword
A hit from a horse-slaying saber almost always results in a clean cut in two.
His lower body was still on the horse.
His upper body had already fallen off the horse.
He used his curved sword to parry the three-foot-long horse-slaying saber.
Not everyone can do that.
Only a few tribal warriors,
He could use his curved sword to block the slashing blows of the horse-chopping sword.
Chapter 1577 Taking the Lead
However, the ferocious barbarians did not flee.
Instead, they nimbly maneuvered on horseback.
He would occasionally retaliate with his curved sword.
Zhao Yuan took the lead.
He smashed away the Liao soldiers who came at him with his double hammers.
The five fierce generals on both sides—Sun An, Shi Bao, Fang Jie, Yue Fei, and Yang Zaixing—were also unstoppable.
Five hundred personal guards, led by six men,
Like a sharp awl,
They plunged straight into the Liao army's camp.
Xiao Telie also stared at Zhao Yuan's dragon flag.
Seeing Zhao Yuan break through the vanguard with unstoppable momentum, he shouted,
"Whoever kills the King of Liang will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold."
Although the generous reward is tempting
But seeing the soldiers blocking Zhao Yuan's path,
One by one, they were beaten until they spat blood and flew backward.
Not many people dared to rush forward.
Seeing that no one could stop Zhao Yuan, Xiao Telie
With a roar,
He charged forward with his personal guards.
The two horses crossed paths.
Xiao Telie thrust his steel spear fiercely into Zhao Yuan's chest.
Regardless of what kind of armor Zhao Yuan was wearing,
Xiao Telie was confident that he could pierce his heart with a single shot.
"clang!"
There was a loud noise,
Zhao Yuan slammed his hammer into Xiao Telie's steel spear.
Shortlie felt a powerful force coming from the steel gun.
His body swayed to one side along with the steel gun.
Shi Bao saw an opportunity nearby,
He swung his wind-splitting blade fiercely.
They cut Xiao Telie in two, armor and all.
Sun An's giant sword, Fang Jie's halberd, Yue Fei's and Yang Zaixing's steel spears,
None of them could withstand a single blow.
Yelü Yanxi originally thought that the Liao cavalry...
They would rout the Han cavalry.
Even if things go badly, they'll still fight each other.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuanlongqi continued to advance.
They broke through the central army in the blink of an eye.
Shortlie's banner had also disappeared.
Zhao Yuan's dragon flag is still getting closer.
It looks like Shottie is dead.
Neither the cavalry could stop Zhao Yuan's five hundred personal guards.
Zhao Yuan quickly broke through the Liao formation.
Yelü Yanxi still harbored a glimmer of hope,
Hopefully, the cavalry behind can hold off Zhao Yuan.
Seeing that Zhao Yuan had already rushed out,
I dare not stay any longer.
They turned their warhorses around and fled.
"Whoever captures Yelü Yanxi,"
"A reward of a thousand gold pieces and the title of Earl."
Zhao Yuan saw that Yelü Yanxi was about to escape.
He immediately shouted loudly.
He promised a generous reward.
Upon hearing this, Sun An and the others
They no longer held their positions tightly.
They spurred their horses and chased after them.
However, their warhorses
Neither of them are as fast as Zhao Yuan's Jade Lion.
Although he desperately spurred his horse forward
He was still following behind Zhao Yuan.
However, the warhorses of Zhao Yuan's personal guards behind him,
Compared to the horses of Zhao Yuan and Sun An,
They were separated by distance.
The Liao soldiers who were still fighting the Liang cavalry ahead
Seeing the Liang dragon banner chasing after their own emperor,
They didn't dare to engage in a prolonged fight.
They all turned their horses around and came back to rescue the emperor.
This allowed the Liang soldiers to unleash another fierce attack.
Zhao Yuan's six men were fast.
They quickly approached Yelü Yanxi's imperial guards.
The imperial guards behind them heard the approaching sound of horses' hooves.
They all turned and fired their arrows.
The Imperial Guard was composed of brave warriors handpicked by Yelü Yanxi from among the Khitan people.
They were shooting arrows as they fled.
Every arrow was aimed at Zhao Yuan and the others' vital points.
Zhao Yuan and his six companions were not to be outdone.
They all drew their powerful bows and fought back.
The Song Dynasty's army was mainly composed of archers.
Archery skills were also an essential part of the military generals' assessments.
Therefore, Sun An and others were also highly skilled archers.
They just can't compare to sharpshooters like Hua Rong and Liu Qi.
As Zhao Yuan shot down the imperial guards one by one,
They also discovered that there was a sharpshooter among the six.
Yue Fei could draw a bow weighing 300 jin (approximately 150 catties).
Moreover, it can shoot with either hand.
While dodging the arrows fired by the Liao soldiers,
He kept drawing his bow and shooting arrows.
Every arrow fired resulted in a member of the imperial guard falling from their horse.
Yelü Yanxi listened to the continuous screams of his personal guards behind him.
Turning his head, he saw Zhao Yuan and his six companions getting closer and closer.
He quickly said to the commander of the Imperial Guard,
"Take some men and stop them."
Although he knew he was no match for them
But the commander of the Imperial Guards did not hesitate.
He ordered a detachment of his personal guards to protect the Emperor.
He led the rest of his men to turn their horses around.
They circled around a bit and then charged at Zhao Yuan and his six companions.
Zhao Yuan has fired all his iron arrows.
However, they caught up with the Imperial Guards.
Seeing the Imperial Guards return,
He immediately charged forward, brandishing his eight-sided purple-gold hammer.
Yue Fei and his four companions also hung up their bows.
They came forward armed.
Zhao Yuan was afraid that Yelü Yanxi had escaped.
He swung his right octagonal purple-gold hammer out fiercely.
The blow sent the commander of the Imperial Guard flying backward, coughing up blood.
He knocked the two cavalrymen behind him off their horses before falling to the ground.
The right-hand hammer was effective.
He didn't even keep the hammer in his left hand.
