Chapter 651: Battle of the Sanggan River (61)

In the Tang army camp at the end of this road, under the reflection of the moonlight, there seems to be a lake in the camp, with the breeze blowing, it turned up a series of silver waves, take a closer look, it is not a wave, but a pair of shining Mingguang armor, this is one of the armor that the Tang Army is proud of, equipped with the most troops, and the Mingguang armor with the highest evaluation.

They are patiently waiting for the prey that comes to the door, needless to say, this prey is naturally the Xi Qi coalition army that is advancing little by little, and the Beiyi cavalry led by the fourth formation of Bayoya, in fact, the tenth formation is using the way of sacrificing the Xi cavalry, little by little to eliminate the cavalry trap they set, and slowly approaching the Tang army camp.

If you want to say that you are not nervous, it is impossible, although the Tang troops present are all elites from various border towns, but they also know the sharpness of the Beiyi cavalry, many of them have even fought with them, and they are still a little afraid of the Beiyi cavalry, if they don't have the upper hand now, I'm afraid these guys' legs will start to tremble.

In front of these waiting infantry, there were tens of thousands of crossbowmen, and the cavalry of the Xiqi coalition army, who were slowly advancing down the slope by taking advantage of the geographical advantage, fired arrows, and these crossbowmen were divided into two formations, and at regular intervals they would exchange rests and replenish their arrows.

The most surprising thing is that these crossbowmen carry several quiver pots on their backs, and every time they are replaced, there will be at least one pot full of arrows on their backs, but after they are filled, they will still have one pot left in the next round, instead of shooting with all their might, this is the effect they deliberately caused, making these brainless Beiyi think that they don't have many bows and crossbows, and then they will suddenly exert their real strength after they get closer, and then at that time, the lethality that the bow and crossbow can cause at such a close distance will be higher.

However, just as they expected, many of the cavalry of the Xiqi coalition army, including Bayoya, did not think of the insidiousness of the Tang army at all, how could they imagine the sinister nature of the human heart when they lived by grazing on weekdays? They were too simple, and at this point, they had to suffer a great loss from the Han people.

Between the formations of these crossbowmen, there are also dozens of bed crossbows that have already been assembled, and the cold giant arrows are set on the bed crossbow like this, emitting a cold cold light, if it is shot out, I am afraid that it can penetrate four or five cavalry of the Xi Qi coalition army together, and this weapon will begin to exert its power when these guys appear at the door of their Tang army camp, these guys don't know that even if they break through so many traps and arrive at the Tang army camp, what awaits them is only death.

No, maybe it won't let them get close to the Tang army camp and they're already dead.

When he got that the Xi Qi coalition army had slowly advanced to the point where they were still halfway away, Wang Zhongsi finally gave the order to attack Li Zheng, who had been waiting for orders by his side.

Some people may wonder how Li Zheng, since he is the captain of Shuofang's most elite scout battalion, is not staying in his own position, how can he wait for orders at any time by Wang Zhonghe's side. It turned out that he was now temporarily transferred to guard the location of the Tang Army's most critical weapon, the ten large trebuchets, and even the scouts of the Xi Qi coalition army did not know that the Tang Army had hidden such a terrifying thing behind the camp.

Large trebuchet, how to say this kind of weapon, even in the face of the emerging Arab Empire, this weapon is also a very powerful existence, and it is also a heavy lethal weapon that has been used on a large scale for a long time in history, and the Tang Dynasty is naturally equipped with a lot, and some are equipped in various border towns. However, this expedition to attack Beiyi did not have the intention of bringing trebuchets, or even large trebuchets, for no other reason, after bringing this kind of thing, not only did it move slowly, but it also consumed too much manpower and material resources, and fought on the grassland or plain, facing the nomadic cavalry with extremely fast marching speed, so Li Longji did not plan to let Wang Zhongsi carry the trebuchet at first.

But in the end, considering various factors, and whether there will be a problem of offensive and defensive warfare in Songmo City in the future, Wang Zhongsi still brought ten large trebuchets, of course, it is a part, and this kind of thing is not a whole car at any time, and it will only be assembled in wartime and used at a fixed point. Therefore, although the spies of the Xi Qi coalition army have been very active in the Tang army camp recently, they have not found this kind of terrifying thing, if they knew that the Tang army had a large trebuchet, he would not dare to camp on the other side of the Sanggan River if he gave Li Huaixiu a hundred dares, because this was within the range of the trebuchet's attack, let alone a large one, or if he later knew that the Tang army had brought a trebuchet, he would definitely not arrange cavalry to launch a night attack.

However, for the lack of intelligence, it is hard to get out of the field, he can be regarded as a dignified general among the Khitans, and he also knows a little about military strategy, and he is a general vigorously cultivated by Li Huaixiu.

At this moment, he is leading the Baye Department, little by little to break through the various corpses and remnant traps on the main road, and move towards the Tang army camp that can clearly see the outline of the fence, because of the sacrifice of the Xi cavalry, the traps on the main road alone have been eliminated a lot, plus considering the future access problems, there are no potholes and traps on the main road, and the iron thistle terrestris has been reduced by the sacrificial charge of the Xi cavalry, and as for the anti-horse fence, someone dismounted to destroy it, although it is not fast, but they are indeed advancing, and the fire of hope ignited in their hearts is burning more and more。

At this moment, someone beside him suddenly let out a burst of shouts, and suddenly he followed their eyes and fingers to look at the sky, in the dark night sky, there were several large balls of fireballs at this moment, and it seemed to be getting bigger, when he opened his eyes and finally saw what it was, the instinct in his body made him subconsciously kick his mount, and the horse was also trampled to the ground at once, and he jumped into the air with the help of that force, and passed by the five huge fireballs that flew by, and the burning sensation made him feel as if his right arm no longer existed。

Immediately after, there were bursts of screams and wails behind him, and when he looked back, he only felt that his scalp was numb, and he saw that many of his fighters were burned to death on the spot, and some who were not dead became fire men writhing wildly on the horse, and the war horse also let out a heart-rending scream, this, what is this?
