The Semu cavalry, which was besieging the Wu army, had 17,000 people left, which was the same as the number of cavalry of the Tang army. But the problem is that this group of sturdy men has already thrown off their arms and exchanged arms with the angry and tenacious Wu Jun for more than an hour.

Their arms are running out of strength, and their horses are running out of strength.

Seeing that the Wu army couldn't hold on, they only needed to rest for one more round, and the third round would definitely break the formation, but the rebel cavalry came.

Are you angry, you say?

At this time, the Mongolian cavalry was still two miles away, and the rebel cavalry had already rushed to the front, and it was too late to count on the Mongolian cavalry to intercept it, so they could only resist the first wave of the rebels' impact.

Why can't you take a break from the limelight? As long as they dodge the first wave of the rebel cavalry, the Mongol cavalry will rush over.

No.

Because at this time, the horse speed of the rebel cavalry was at its strongest.

And they are attacking the flank of the Wu army, the war horses are not only tired, the speed of the horses is not fast, there is no time to speed up, not only can not be avoided, but also more dangerous, and may even be crushed by a wave of impact.

The decisive battle of the cavalry cluster is very particular about the "potential", the winning side wins quickly, and the losing side collapses quickly, and often the winner can be divided in one round, unlike the infantry army, which can not be finished in half a day.

The rebels were clearly well aware of the situation on the battlefield, and accelerated from miles to the east, sprinting in one breath and plunging headlong into the battlefield, which was obviously a predetermined tactic.

This completely violates the rule that after the reinforcements arrive on the battlefield, they should understand the situation before entering the battle.

"Bang Bang - Bang Bang!"

"Meet the enemy—"

In the ranks of the Semu cavalry, there was a dense firecracker-like whipping of horses and hysterical shouts, and the generals roared and ordered their subordinates to adjust their direction and gather to stop the surging rebel cavalry.

At the same time, the last 10,000 cavalry of Wanzhedu also moved.

He must save the Ma Chijun!

"Woo-"

"Oh ho ho ho—"

"Mordoga!"

Seven thousand Mongol cavalry, with all their might, accelerated their horses and rushed to the east. Wan Zhedu was left with only 3,000 heavy cavalry and a group of military slaves.

This heavy cavalry is used again at critical moments, and it is used to fight with light cavalry in the field at this time, and the effect is not good, because it is too bulky.

However, Wan Zhedu's heart still rose to his throat, because the seven thousand Mongol cavalry had only run a few feet away, and the rebel cavalry had already rushed into the Semu cavalry, and the two armies were already about to make contact.

When the cavalry of the Tang Army was about to collide with the Semu cavalry, they shouted in unison, and a large piece of hand axe suddenly seemed like a black crow, with the help of high-speed horsepower, and threw it at the Semu cavalry.

This is a killer feature of the cavalry of the Don Army: immediately fly the axe.

This kind of hand axe weighs only three catties, and each knight is equipped with two handles, and it is thrown at close range before the two armies come into contact, and the lethality is very high.

Poof! Poof!

"Ahh

"Whew—"

The colored cavalry in front screamed, and for a while, I don't know how many Yuan troops were hit by flying axes, and they fell off their horses one after another.

And then—

Boom—"

The cavalry of the two sides collided together, and the slow, dying cavalry, like a fragile piece of rotten cloth, was torn apart by an eagle's talon.

The Jurchen Khitan cavalry, full of physical strength, relied on the advantage of horse speed to destroy the team of the Semu cavalry, and the fierce and well-trained Jurchen Khitan cavalry, wielding maces, riding spears and other long soldiers, harvested the Semu cavalry with sore arms like chopping melons and vegetables.

The tired and tired cavalry was no match at all. I don't know how many people's Tianling Gai was beaten by the mace of the Jurchen Khitan cavalry, and his brains burst out, and his bones were broken and his tendons were broken.

You must know that the Jurchen Khitan cavalry is already very good, and after a long period of hard training in Haidong, both the individual combat power and the will to fight have been greatly improved, and even the protective equipment is not comparable to the color cavalry.

Even if the Mongol cavalry, in addition to having an advantage in cavalry and archery, individual horse combat is not the opponent of the Jurchen Khitan cavalry.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of colored cavalry fell off their horses, and thousands of casualties were killed and wounded in just one shot!

The decisive battle of the cavalry cluster was really a thousand shots, and victory or defeat was just a matter of time.

If the Mongol cavalry was better at horse archery, then the Jurchen Khitan cavalry was better at horse warfare. Unlike the Mongol cavalry, which liked to use scimitars, the Jurchen Khitan cavalry liked to use long soldiers, mostly maces, riding spears, and the like.

The tactics of the two are also very different. The tactics of the Mongol cavalry were mangu and peeling, using bows and arrows to constantly harass and wait until the enemy was overwhelmed.

And the Jurchen cavalry preferred direct white-knuckle horse combat, or even dismounted foot combat. This made the horse combat power of the Jurchen Khitan cavalry stronger than the Semu cavalry.

At the same time, the Wu army finally seized the opportunity, abandoned the traitor army in front, and tens of thousands of people rushed forward with shouts to take the initiative to attack the Semu cavalry who had lost their horse speed. Dense spears, piercing the colored cavalry.

"Kill the Tartar!"

"Kill!"

One by one, vengeful spears pierced the bodies of the Semu cavalry, discharging them from their horses. In the blink of an eye, the battlefield became a battle between the cavalry of the Tang Army and the spearmen and cavalry of the Wu Army.

Even the only 2,000 heavy infantry in Wu's army also attacked.

In fact, from the battle between the cavalry of the two armies to the counterattack of the Wu army, it was only a few breaths of effort, but in such a short time, the Semu cavalry fell into a desperate situation and suffered a fatal blow.

At every moment, hundreds of colored cavalry died tragically under the mace and the spears of the Wu army.

The Wu army even rushed into the Semu cavalry and opened fire on the Yuan cavalry, which had lost their horse speed, and many of the cavalry were stabbed to death by spearmen.

By the time the Tang cavalry chiseled through the ranks of the Semu cavalry, the Semu cavalry had already suffered seven or eight thousand casualties under the joint attack of the Tang Army and the Wu Army, and they were defeated!

Of these, at least five or six thousand were killed and wounded under the charge of the Tang cavalry.

The casualties of the Tang army were no more than 100 people.

It's too late, but it's just a few breaths.

It was only at this time that the Mongolian cavalry of 7,000 reinforcements rushed in, just in time for the cavalry of the Tang Army, which was still on horseback.

The Mongolian cavalry was only 7,000, less than half of the Tang cavalry. I had to adopt the usual tactics, prepare to separate and detour, close the distance, and adopt the tactics of kite flying.

However, something happened that made the Mongolian cavalry vomit blood, and the Tang cavalry also separated, catching and biting the Mongolian cavalry.

The distance between the cavalry of the two sides was already very close, and the Mongolian cavalry had already released arrows, but the Tang cavalry rushed directly in the rain of arrows, ignoring the rain of arrows of the Mongolian cavalry.

For a time, many Tang cavalry fell off their horses and were killed and wounded, but in exchange for successfully biting the Mongolian cavalry, the cavalry of both sides collided with each other again.

At the moment before the battle, the second axe of the Tang cavalry was also thrown at the Mongolian cavalry, and the Mongolian cavalry immediately fell off their horses.

As a result, although the Mongolian cavalry first fired a round of arrow rain, killing and wounding hundreds of Tang troops, they suffered greater casualties under the Tang army's "flying axes on horses".

What's worse is that the Mongolian cavalry was bitten by the cavalry of the Tang Army and could not pull away from it, and the best cavalry archery and reckless tactics were no longer usable.

The two cavalry, staggered, fought again on horseback.

It is equivalent to saying that the Tang army took hundreds of casualties and took advantage of the opportunity to fight horses because of the close distance.

This, of course, requires a good grasp of the terrain and situation of the battlefield. What Wan Zhe didn't know was that at the beginning of the war, the battlefield information and maps were sent to the Tang army coming east by Chen Yu Pegasus.

In fact, the Tang army had already hid in Langkang Mountain (west of Yugan County) on the south bank of Poyang Lake, and the Langkang Valley was just enough to hide the army, and between it and Hongdu City, it was less than 20 miles away from Hongdu City, and it was an infantry army, and it could also be raided in half an hour.

In addition, the Yuan army's sentinel scouts were intercepted and killed by the Tang cavalry team that had been ambushed in advance, so the Yuan army did not know that the Tang army was hiding near Hongdu.

After Li Luo received the intelligence map, he immediately made arrangements and formulated a strategy. Then the cavalry went first, attacking from east to west, with the brigade following behind.

There is only one core: to take the Wu army by surprise, grasp the instantaneous superiority of troops on the local battlefield, and win with a white blade.

Such a thoughtful plan was really taken by surprise, not only defeating the Tanma Red Army in one fell swoop, but also successfully biting the Mongolian cavalry.

So the Mongol cavalry was miserable.

The number of cavalry of the Tang army was more than twice that of the Mongolian cavalry, and the skills of individual horse combat were even stronger.

The scimitars of the warriors really can't beat the maces and cavalry spears of the Jurchen Khitan soldiers, even the weapons have suffered.

They did not know that the cavalry of the Tang Army had to train for horse combat almost every day, wielding maces and cavalry spears, and honing white-knuckle combat.

More than 20,000 cavalry interspersed with each other, the speed of the horses on both sides slowed down, and the sound of Mongolian scimitars and maces and heavy weapons striking each other resounded and was extremely harsh. Accompanied by the screams and shouts of the knights, and the neighing of the war horses, it was extremely miserable.

The Tang and Mongolian cavalry battles were in full swing, and the remnants of the Tanma Red Army in the rear were also broken into by the Wu army. The Wu army took advantage of the disastrous defeat of the Tanma Red Army just now, lost its horsepower again, and fought a white-knuckle battle with the Tanma Red Army.

Where is Yuan Junqiang? Cavalry.

But once the cavalry loses its speed and is broken in by the infantry, it is a different matter.

Especially the Toutuo army, which has more than 10,000 people left, is very fierce. They roared and pulled the Tanma Red Army off their horses and killed them, or used their spears to lift the Tanma Red Army into the air.

Even Sag Tursun, the general of the Tanma Red Army, was stabbed to death by Zhang Hui, the general of the Wu Army.

After the Tanma Red Army was charged and killed by the cavalry of the Tang Army, there were only 9,000 people left, surrounded by more than 10,000 Tuo troops, and completely fell into disadvantage.

When it comes to white-knuckle combat, as cavalry, they may not be stronger than the Toutuo army. Coupled with the fact that the Toutuo army was full of grief and indignation, and the fighting spirit was like a rainbow, and the colored soldiers who had flaunted their might before slowly fell into the situation of being slaughtered.

And what about the traitor army?

Although there are still 40,000 traitor troops, their fighting spirit is not strong, and when they saw the Tang army at this time, they were even more frightened, and they were blocked by more than 10,000 Wu troops, and they were unable to rescue the Tanma Red Army with heavy casualties.

And the Mongolian cavalry was bitten by the cavalry of the Tang Army, which far outnumbered them, and they had fallen into a situation of being slaughtered by one side, and it was becoming less and less like a battle.

Many of the Jurchen Khitan cavalry jumped off their horses, two against one, and slashed the Mongol cavalry like melons and vegetables.

At every turn, hundreds of Mongol cavalry were killed.

However, the ferocity of the Mongol cavalry was also vividly reflected. Even if they were outnumbered, they were still extremely fierce, and their white-edged combat skills were also very high, causing many casualties to the Tang cavalry.

More than two miles away, Wanzhedu, looking at it is tearing!

The golden Mongolian warriors were in a desperate situation, with such heavy casualties!

He never imagined that Li Luo's tactics were so tricky and his grasp of the battlefield was so accurate. What made him even more angry was that Li Luo himself had not yet arrived, and less than 20,000 cavalry had come, which had put the Yuan army, which was about to win a big victory, into such a situation.

Damn it!

Sure enough, he is worthy of the person who was once named the capital of Morgen Batu by the Great Khan, and he is worthy of being the former famous general!

It's a pity that Li Luo is a damn traitor!

This battle is like this, even if it can be turned over, it will be a draw at most.

At this time, Wan Zhedu hated not Li Luo the most, but Han Jun.

The Han army is so uncompromising that until now, it is still entangled with some Wu troops and unable to rescue the cavalry, it's really damned!

He really wanted to send an order to the Han army and send 20,000 men to aid the Mongol cavalry, but the problem was that it was too late. It seems that when the Han army was drawn out, the Mongol warriors were also dead.

Ordered to withdraw troops?

I can't withdraw it.

At this time, the battlefield within a radius of several miles south of Hongdu City has almost become a melee, I have you, you have me. How to withdraw?

Once withdrawn, it is even more terrible!

In such a scene, it is useless to send the last 3,000 heavy cavalry, which are not used for white-knuckle melee.

Wan Zhe is a veteran, and he hasn't lost a battle at all, but today's defeat makes him feel that the loss is very unreal.

I shouldn't have lost at all, but I just lost.

Seeing that the Mongol cavalry and the Tanma Red Army were getting fewer and fewer, almost overwhelmed by the rebels and thieves, Wan Zhedu closed his eyes in pain, and his mouth was bitter.

Defeated!

"Woo-woo-"

At this moment, a long horn sound came from the east, and immediately after, a high phoenix flag appeared in the field of vision.

The infantry brigade of the Don Army, finally arrived.

"It's Li Luo's thief!" Wan Zhedu's eyes narrowed, and the killing intent was about to turn into substance.

As soon as Li Luo's Daxu appeared, the morale of the Tang cavalry and the Wu army was even more shocked, and the Tanma Red Army and the Mongolian cavalry were completely in a desperate situation.

Even the traitor army also had the intention of escaping.

War or Retreat? Wan Zhedu pondered nervously, thinking about ways to turn defeat into victory.

Soon, a bold idea came to Wan Zhedu's mind.

Can you take advantage of the fact that Li Luo's army formation is not lined up, and take advantage of his carelessness that he thinks that victory is in his hands, and use the last 3,000 heavy cavalry to rush once? Just kill Li Luo?

He knew very well that if he gave up this adventure, he would have to flee today.

What awaits him will be the wrath of the Great Khan and the court.

But if you take a risk, the possibility of failure is very big, really big.

But if he didn't, he wouldn't have any chance. Hongdu was defeated, and the loss of so many Dayuan Iron Cavalry was enough for him to never have the opportunity to lead the troops again in his life.

It's really better to die than to die.

Let's go!

This is the only chance.

To Wan Zhedu's surprise, Li Luo's tens of thousands of infantry were really in a messy formation, and in his opinion, it would take at least half a pillar of incense to set up a spear formation to defend against cavalry.

Moreover, Li Luo's infantry army came from the south and was closer to him.

That's enough for his three thousand heavy cavalry to break through.

Three thousand heavy cavalry broke through the tens of thousands of infantry troops without a column defense, which was enough.

He knew better than anyone the ability of the three thousand heavy horsemen under his command to break through the formation.

"Herald! Prepare to attack the traitor Li Luo! As long as the Chinese army is broken and his head is cut off, even if the rebels do not collapse, this battle will be won! ”

"Wow!"

The general of the 3,000 heavy cavalry immediately reorganized the heavy cavalry, roared and lectured, and prepared to lead the army to attack.

Li Luo was under the big banner in front of him, and around him were tens of thousands of infantry! Warriors! No matter how many cattle and sheep there are, they are still cattle and sheep, and although there are few tigers, they are tigers! Let me, with the power of immortality, tear apart your blood-soaked swords and spears like prey! Cut off Li Luo's head! ”

"As you wish! We will tear the Han Chinese battle flag and cut off Li Luo's head! ”

"Mordoga!"

"Woohoo Hehuning!"

"Slaves, help your master to get on his horse!"

With the help of the slaves, the three thousand heavy horsemen got on their horses, took the weapons handed by the slaves, and then pulled down their armor.

Their slaves knelt on the ground and struck the ground with their swords, "My brave and fearless master, the slave helped you to the horse, but your faithful slave will not see his master go to war alone." Let the slave take the knife and spear and follow the direction of the master. ”

They are the military slaves of the Mongolian heavy cavalry. One is equipped with two people, they serve only the heavy cavalry, and generally do not go into battle.

These military slaves include Han Chinese, Semu people, Jurchens, and even a very small number of Mongols. But the most are still Han Chinese. They were all slaves who had been enslaved for many years.

But no matter who they were, they were faithful to their masters. Moreover, they are not without combat power and are even equipped with leather armor. It's just that it is not included in the official establishment of the Yuan Army.

"Alright, loyal minions, take your sword and spear and follow me." The heavy cavalry said to their slaves.

In this way, although it was said that 3,000 heavy cavalry attacked, in fact, 6,000 military slaves who fought with the wind were added, a total of 9,000 people.

Wan Zhedu, on the other hand, was ready to lead his five hundred personal guards, following behind the heavy cavalry and military slaves, and after breaking the formation, he would directly attack Li Luo and take his head.

It's an all-or-nothing tactic, but it's not impossible.

When the Tang army's infantry rushed to the battlefield in a messy formation, the 3,000 Mongolian heavy cavalry that had been lost by Tarabu finally launched an attack.

Break the formation in one fell swoop!

Immortal Weather Force!

Dayuan is invincible!

The heavy cavalry in human and horse gear was pushed by the military slaves, slowly accelerating, faster and faster, and soon the military slaves could not keep up.

"Boom—"

The majesty of the galloping of the three thousand heavy cavalry was even more moving, and the sound of the horse's hooves was mixed with the sonorous sound of the armor leaves of the human and horse harnesses, condensing a dull and heavy terrifying force.

The horses are all big horses, wearing heavy armor, carrying the same heavy armor, holding a spear, and only showing their eyes.

Three thousand mounted heavy horsemen, carrying the will of a steel fortress, lined up in wide and thin horizontal formations, with the momentum of destroying everything, rolled in like a sea of mountains and seas, like an iron tide.

"Boom, boom!"

At this time, the heavy cavalry of the Yuan army was only more than a mile away from the Tang army's infantry army, and it could be reached in a blink of an eye.

However, at this moment, suddenly the originally messy Tang Army's infantry retreated sharply, revealing more than 200 large and small artillery pieces behind it

Immediately afterwards, the fire flickered in front of the Tang army, and black smoke suddenly rose.

More than two hundred large and small artillery pieces roared together, as big as a bowl and as small as an egg, whistling and making a sharp and terrifying sound, shooting through the air like a meteor, with a hot temperature, a large number of bombardments into the heavy cavalry of the Yuan army.

In the screams of the knights and the neighing of the horses, a large number of heavy horses were killed and injured.

A ten-pound bullet with a large bowl mouth blasted open the armor on the horse's head, not only smashing the horse's head, but also beating the knight on the horse to pieces, and then bombarding the two knights again with no less strength.

Even if it is a cannonball the size of an egg, the heavy armor equipped with heavy horses cannot stop it, as long as it hits, either the horse dies or the man dies.

Under this terrifying artillery salvo attack of the Tang army, at least four or five hundred heavy cavalry were killed and wounded.

The original iron tide-like heavy cavalry was blasted out of a large blank space by the artillery, and like a giant python that was racing wildly, it was hit head-on by a huge iron fist, swinging its tail and screaming.

What's even worse is that because many war horses fell in front, the knights fell to the ground, blocking the cavalry behind, making the entire formation a lot messy, and it no longer regained its previous indomitable momentum.

Wan Zhedu, who was not far away, was stunned.

This is the sharp artillery of the rebels? How can it be put out for launch so quickly? Seems to have been prepared for a long time?

"Li Luo! All right! Very good! ”

Wan Zhe didn't understand that he was being yin by Li Luoyin anymore, and it was too dull.
