Chapter 427: Datang Wushuang
"General, we are surrounded. β
The adjutant was covered in blood, dragging a missing Tang knife in his hand, and the armor on his body was also tattered, and traces of the knife could be seen everywhere.
Guo Zhenying looked at him and muttered, "How many people have been lost?"
"The vanguard squad was killed, and the heavy cavalry suffered more than half of the casualties. The adjutant said.
Guo Zhenying frowned: "The heavy cavalry has also been killed or wounded? Even if Yan Guo cooperates with that group of grassland savages, it is impossible to defeat our heavy cavalry." β
"It's the temple, the cavalry!" said the adjutant, "they hid in the Prince's Mansion and rushed out from the rear of our army, and we were caught off guard. β
Guo Zhenying said: "Is this really the case?"
"General, we have no chance of winning this battle, so let the last general escort you out of Jicheng. The adjutant said.
Guo Zhenying said lightly: "Since I entered Jicheng, I haven't thought about leaving. And isn't the defeat already expected by us, so don't panic, give the order, start now, attack indiscriminately!"
The adjutant general was immediately shocked by this sentence.
"General, this ...... Is it feasible?"
"Why not?" Guo Zhenying asked rhetorically.
"The people of Jicheng are innocent. The adjutant muttered.
Guo Zhenying said: "You are too naΓ―ve, when there is an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent." From the beginning of this war, the only people that Datang can trust are the Tang people, and everyone else is our enemy and is not worthy of trust. So, let go of the killing! Although we will die, we must also take enough burial with us!"
The adjutant lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and then raised his head, his eyes were already full of determination, and there was a touch of wild bloodlust: "The last general understands!"
Guo Zhenying pulled out his Tang knife and stuck it with the adjutant's knife.
"Datang Wushuang!"
......
In the army of the Tang Dynasty, there are two branches of the army that make other countries in the Great Wilderness talk about it.
The first is the Xuanjia Army! This is a contingent under the direct command of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is wherever the Xuanjia Army is. Because the Xuanjia Army was only responsible to the emperor, it did not participate in many battles, but this did not affect the prestige of the Xuanjia Army. In the recent battle of the grassland, the Xuanjia Army proved to the world that they were strong.
The second is the Datang heavy cavalry. In fact, if you really want to talk about it, the heavy cavalry is the existence that really makes the six countries of the Great Wilderness and the grassland tribes fearful, because this army will appear on any battlefield! They are like sharp swords, and they are invincible. And since the advent of the heavy cavalry, there has not been a single defeat!
It is precisely because the heavy cavalry is too powerful, and it is not only responsible for the royal family like the Xuanjia Army, so it has always been the target of criticism from various countries, and the Tang Dynasty is strictly required to control the number of heavy cavalry, otherwise the six countries will unite to fight with the Tang Dynasty.
The Datang side will not give in easily, and wants to sanction my heavy cavalry with a few words? If it doesn't show some sincerity, the Datang side will not only not reduce the number of heavy cavalry, but will continue to increase to a number that surprises the other six countries.
As soon as this point of view came out, not only the six countries could not sit still, but the temple was also a little uneasy, so they united the six countries to form an envoy group to go to Chang'an to discuss the number of heavy cavalry with the Tang Dynasty.
After some difficult negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement on the number of heavy cavalry.
On the Tang side, the number of heavy cavalry was maintained at 16,000 cavalry, and then it was divided into the hands of the commanders of the four realms, and the number of heavy cavalry stationed in an area was probably 4,000 cavalry.
In addition, the number of Xuanjia troops should be kept below 10,000 and must not exceed 10,000. And the Xuanjia army is not allowed to participate in the war at will, unless the emperor is personally marching!
The Tang Dynasty made full concessions, and the envoys of the temple and the six countries naturally had to show enough sincerity.
This sincerity means that the number of the Divine Cavalry of the Temple must not exceed five thousand!
Before the envoy group of the temple sent to Datang, they didn't expect this fire to burn on themselves, so when Datang made this request, the representative of the temple was stunned on the spot, and then rejected the proposal.
Datang is also very simple, if you don't agree, there is no need to continue talking.
This threw the puzzle directly to the temple.
The representatives of the six countries were surprised to find that the whole proposal was of no harm to them.
Whether it is the heavy cavalry of the Xuanjia Army of the Tang Dynasty or the divine cavalry of the temple, it is a huge threat to them, and the Tang side did not put forward requirements for the military strength of the six countries, and concentrated all its firepower on the temple.
This trick is quite spicy, which is equivalent to directly transferring the target of the fire to the temple.
If the temple does not agree, then Datang will desperately develop heavy cavalry, and with Datang's financial resources, it is absolutely no problem to raise a heavy cavalry with a number of about 40,000.
40,000 heavy cavalry, just thinking about it made the envoys of the six countries feel terrified.
In the future, in the war, Datang only needs to gather 40,000 heavy cavalry, and then push it all the way over, and no one can stop it!
Thinking of this, the envoys of the six countries immediately united to put pressure on the temple side, after all, if the number of divine cavalry was really controlled below five thousand according to the demarcation of the Tang Dynasty, it would only be good for the six countries.
The influence of the temple is indeed very great, there is no doubt about this, but it does not mean that the six countries will obey the words of the temple, no matter how weak the country is, there will be no wavering on the issue of sovereignty, because this is the foundation of a country, just because of the national strength, the attitude on the issue of sovereignty will seem a little weak.
This wave of Datang gave the six countries the opportunity to fight for, they really missed it, they are fools.
So the final result became that the Six Kingdoms joined forces with Datang and pitted the temple.
A month later, the three parties reached a consensus and announced the results of the meeting to the entire Great Wilderness.
It's just that ordinary people don't feel much about this at all, and in their opinion, it's just like that.
Anyway, as long as you remember, the Tang Dynasty heavy cavalry is awesome, and the temple divine cavalry is awesome.
What's more, the people are more curious about who is more powerful in these two arms?
Unfortunately, the heavy cavalry and the divine cavalry have never fought each other on the battlefield, so it is still unknown who is better on both sides.
......
"Huh. β
Tong Hu, the captain of the heavy cavalry, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up with the support of his teammates.
His war horse was beside him, wrapped in armor, and only his eyes and nostrils were exposed, because of the fierce battle before, the physical exertion of the war horse was also very large.
This specially bred war horse is specially for heavy cavalry, and ordinary war horses can't carry the armor on their bodies at all, let alone fight against a knight wearing armor on the battlefield.
But no matter how powerful a war horse is, it is not invincible.
Since the birth of the heavy cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, it has never experienced such a tragic battle just now, the grassland cavalry, the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom and the last temple cavalry, the three forces took turns to rush and kill, and the wheel war was used to consume the physical strength of the heavy cavalry, and finally the divine cavalry completed the fatal blow.
It is already a miracle that more than half of the five hundred heavy cavalry can survive after encountering such an impact.
Opposite them, only a few of the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom had died, and the remaining few had no combat effectiveness, and their courage had been broken.
The number of steppe cavalry was only about a quarter of the beginning, and they were basically wounded, and their eyes were full of fear, and their combat effectiveness had decreased by at least seventy percent compared to the beginning.
Only the divine cavalry of the temple is quite stable.
They suffered minimal damage, and of course because they were the last to enter, and were essentially responsible for the harvest, without being charged by the first few waves of heavy cavalry.
But now, the two allies basically have no combat effectiveness, and the remaining two hundred heavy cavalry can only be solved by relying on these divine cavalry.
On the streets, the atmosphere is solemn!
Boom, thunder falls.
Boom, the rainstorm has arrived.
The raindrops fell on the armor, splashing a small splash, although the distance between the two sides was not far, but because the rain was too dense, it was impossible to see the opposite side clearly.
Tong Hu gently stroked his horse, which had been his mount since he joined the heavy cavalry, and the two sides had spent nearly ten years together.
The lifespan of a war horse is only ten years, and the life span of a heavy cavalry horse is even shorter, so even if you win this battle, you have to leave Tong Hu.
"Old man, this is the last time we'll fight together, and we're likely to die here, are you afraid?" asked Tong Hu.
The war horse snorted and arched the boy tiger with his head.
has been a partner for many years, even if this horse can't be Ren Yan, Tong Hu can feel the other party's mood, and laughed loudly: "Then let's fight together for Datang again." Everyone's on the way, get on the horse!"
The heavy cavalry mounted one after another.
"Draw your sword!" Tong Hu roared again.
The cavalrymen drew their special Tang knives, and the blades glowed with a cold sheen under the rain.
"Sons and daughters of the Tang Dynasty, we have come to the edge of the cliff, and in front of us are the divine cavalry that has always been compared to us, and those good deeds in the Great Wilderness have always wanted to know who is stronger than us. But this question has long been answered in my heart. Today, let us teach those invincible cavalrymen how to behave and let them understand that they can't afford to bear the name of the divine cavalry!"
Tong Hu shouted these words with a roar, and then his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse slowly walked forward.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and every time the horse's hooves rose and fell, it carried a lot of water trails.
"Heavy cavalry!"
"Charge!"
"Kill!"
With three sharp roars, the earth trembled.
At this moment, there was a thunderbolt that pierced the sky, illuminating the heavens and the earth.
The heavy cavalry and the divine cavalry both saw clearly each other with the help of this light.
The two sides collided together.
Blood splattered.
