Chapter 648: Battle of the Sanggan River (58)
After judging his own advantage, Ba Ye Mi suddenly clamped his legs, and he immediately rushed straight to the front from among the cavalry, and plunged into the ranks of the third cavalry that was dispersing.
Although they felt uncomfortable, these Xi cavalry also had to admit that the combat effectiveness of the Khitan cavalry was much higher than theirs, not to mention that they didn't know that the formation led by Baye Mi was a veteran of a hundred battles, otherwise they would not have been selected as the first formation of the Khitan team.
I saw that Bayno Mi had approached the human wall composed of the heavy armored infantry of the Tang Army, but he had already seen the weak link of this defense, and suddenly the reins of his right hand were slightly pulled, and he even led the horse to the right a little bit, and there were many hidden wounded soldiers among those heavy armored infantry, among which the front row of the attack point he chose was almost all wounded soldiers, if he attacked this point with all his strength, it would inevitably become a breakthrough.
Looking at the change of direction towards them, these Tang troops also knew the thoughts of this group of Khitan cavalry, and immediately hurriedly mobilized manpower, but because of their heavy armor, although their defense was extremely high, they were not easy to be knocked away by the cavalry, but the relative movement speed was also a lot slower, and they had no time to help these wounded soldiers who were rushing like a wind.
Bano Ya rushed into these heavy infantry like a gale, and at the moment he approached them, he finally wielded his weapon, a large iron hammer weighing hundreds of pounds, which he specially chose in order to break through the defense line of the heavy infantry, coupled with his own huge brute strength, it was extremely suitable for breaking the formation.
When the giant hammer was raised, only a loud bang was heard, and several wounded soldiers of the Tang army were actually knocked away, and Bano Ya was still rushing towards the depths of these heavy infantry, every time he swung the hammer, at least two heavy armored infantry would be knocked away, and he opened a path alive.
And these subordinates of his are not vegetarians, and they are blocked by these Tang troops, and the speed of Bayoya's march naturally slows down, and these subordinates of his catch up at once, and they are very cooperative to kill the surrounding Tang troops, and expand the passage.
The order given to him by Li Huaixiu was to open a breakthrough so that the cavalry behind could reach the Tang army camp, so they did not need to stop and entangle with these Tang army heavy infantry at all, but used the advantage of speed and impact power to open a passage, once successful, they could restore the morale that had just been low, and these small numbers of heavy infantry would soon be drowned in the sea of cavalry of their Xi Qi coalition army.
The combat effectiveness of this group of Khitan cavalry led by Bayo Ya is indeed extraordinary, and while passing by these heavy armored infantry, most of them can not only resist the Mo knives they cut down, but also be able to fight back to take their lives, when they break through the Tang army's defense in a cone shape, these Tang troops have suffered thousands of casualties.
Their success in this formation made the remnants of the first few formations who were in the melee with these Tang troops realize that these Tang troops were not invincible, and at the same time finally realized that they did not need to fight with these Tang troops, so the fighting spirit of these guys surged up, and they broke through the Tang army's defense line one by one with a roar, and followed the fourth formation of Bayo Mi towards the Tang army camp.
This line of defense composed of heavy infantry suddenly collapsed in an instant, and the remnants of the Tang army were quickly swallowed up by the cavalry of the Xi Qi coalition army that came one after another.
However, the Tang army's defense line will naturally not be only such one, just breaking through the heavy infantry defense line Ba Ye Ya only felt that it was almost dark in front of him, with the faint moonlight, galloping he saw that there were several anti-horse fences on the road in front of him, and it seemed that the wood used was definitely not the kind that their sabers could easily cut through, and what was even worse was that the road, as well as the nearby flat ground, was densely sprinkled with black thistles, if it weren't for his good eyesight, he couldn't see it at all, there was still a certain distance from the Tang army camp, if he wanted to break through the past, he would definitely use the corpses of countless compatriots here as stepping stones。 And the Tang army can't be idle, although their bow and crossbow offensive has weakened, but the attack has not stopped, and some of them are constantly falling, but on the contrary, they can't even see where the other party is, and they can't use bows and arrows to fight back, and now they are going to attack the Tang army camp, so these traps can only be stepped on obediently, but the Tang army can leisurely wait for them to fight inside the camp after a wave of casualties, and then the advantage of their cavalry will be greatly reduced.
The battle was not as simple as he had imagined, at least from the time he crossed the Sangan River to reach this side, he had already guessed how much the current situation would occur.
Therefore, it is natural that he has already thought of measures to deal with this situation.
"The remaining centurion and above officers of the Xi clan gather to listen to the order!" he reined in his horse, shouting loudly while blocking the stray arrows facing him, while the remnants of the heavy infantry of the Tang Army who were forcing over around him were blocked by his men.
Within the line of defense just now, a lot of the Tang army's bow and crossbow rain actually shot at the corpses of the soldiers in the two rooms who had been dead for a long time, and some shot at his subordinates or those Tang army's heavy armor, he didn't encounter many stray arrows, but when he rushed out, he became an obvious target, so it took a lot of effort to resist the stray arrows.
Not long after, the only Xi clan officers in the previous few formations came to his side, if it weren't for Huan Chenyu conveying the order to Bai Quan to stop sniping, these guys would probably have died long ago, and it would be impossible for even the centurion to stay.
"What do you command?" a guy with more prestige among the centurions of the Xi clan temporarily became the head of their remnants.
"Your respective troops have been dispersed, and it is a blessing for our two tribes that you can hold out to the end, and now I want you to sacrifice your lives for the future of our two tribes!" I won't hide it from you, the road ahead is full of traps, but the death order issued by the big chief is that we must rush into the camp of the Tang army, annihilate the Tang army, with our cavalry advantage, it is their infantry that is on the side, even if they are prepared, there is a great chance of victory, but on this road, someone must open the way in front, I think, you understand what I mean. I will not let you die alone, and there will be people in my team who will open the way with you, but the men and horses of my headquarters will not move, the reason is very simple, their combat strength is each one as ten, they should die in the Tang army camp, not die in the trap of grievance, I give you ten breaths of time, decide, obey or die. ”
