Chapter 35 The well-guarded Tang Army
"Don't!"
"Don't!"
"Don't!"
The surrounding soldiers raised their arms in a trance, and their morale increased sharply!
The people living on the grassland, from the day they were born, struggled against the most difficult living environment, and their character was stubborn and tenacious, and they were the most brave and fierce.
The more desperate the situation, the more it can inspire the bravery and brutality in the bloodline!
They are born to be the bravest warriors!
Dadu was also infected by the high morale of the soldiers under his command, and the trace of regret and fear in his heart was thrown out of the clouds, and the scimitar pointed at the Tang army array under the ridge, and roared: "Xue Yantuo's warriors, kill the enemy with me, break through the enemy formation, and I will take you home!" β
With that, he grabbed the horse's belly, brandished the scimitar in his hand, and rushed down the ridge.
"Woo!"
"Whew"
Xue Yantuo's soldiers were as energetic as chicken blood, with a beast-like roar in their mouths, and followed behind Dadu, charging towards the Tang army array under the ridge! For a time, the galloping of thousands of horses was earth-shattering, and all the ice and snow foam on the mountain ridge were crushed and raised by the horses' hooves, and the terrifying sound was like an avalanche!
Under the mountains.
In the Tang army array, Li Siwen, Zhang Daxiang, Qu Tuquan and others, who stepped on the battlefield for the first time in real significance, were frightened by the condescending and unstoppable charging formation of Xue Yantuo's cavalry.
In front of the two armies, thousands of horses and thousands of troops can not be resisted by individual bravery.
Xue Wanche's majestic body was riding on a horse, looking at the pale faces of the families on the left and right, and he grinned, but he didn't laugh: "Today, you can know how cruel the war is, right?" is the peerless general of the three armies, in this battle array of thousands of troops, it is just a wave in the monstrous ocean...... Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, after countless bloody battles, the domestic bandits have been cleansed, and the surrounding barbarians have been subdued, but they are not said by mouth, but by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty! Above the court, all of you can lift the pen to settle the world, martial arts can go on the horse to determine the world, and the generals will enter the phase, which is the tradition of the Tang Dynasty. β
Li Siwen licked his lips and said with a wry smile: "Marshal, the last general has always been proud of his courage, but he once served in the army, but today for the first time in the face of this thousands of troops and horses to the death, I knew that in the past, I was really a frog at the bottom of the well, and I was ashamed!" β
This person is the most arrogant, thinking that he just lacks an opportunity, so he is not as good as those fathers who worship the generals. If one day he can also be promoted to a decisive victory in the army, he will still be able to make meritorious contributions and not let his father specialize in beauty.
But now facing Xue Yantuo's violent charge, he knows how naΓ―ve he was in the past.
His Majesty Li Er's Tiger Prison closed down 3,000 against 100,000, and Li Jing led an army of thousands of miles to raid the Yinshan Turkic tent, that is the real hero of the world!
Xue Wanche laughed, and the Xue Yantuo cavalry in front of him seemed to be like an avalanche and a mountain crack, as if he didn't care about it at all, and said loudly: "Above the battle array, it is the most evil, among thousands of troops and horses, it is not that you can not die if you are afraid of death, if you go forward and put life and death aside, luck and luck are easy to get rid of, swords, guns and halberds are avoiding you, if you are trembling, greedy for life and afraid of death, then the enemy's sword and arrow will kill you!" Sticking out his head is a knife, shrinking his head or a knife, as a man of the Han family, defending his family and defending the country and slaughtering barbarians, why not straighten his chest and face death? Even if it is death, you must ruthlessly go down to the barbarian with a mouthful of flesh and blood, nine meritorious deeds, war reports to the family, shade your wife and parents, let your neighbors add glory to you, and let your sons be proud of you! β
The general with thick eyebrows and beard is arrogant, and a spirit of looking at the world is scattered in all directions, and all the surrounding soldiers and generals are rendered by it!
"Boom!"
There was an earth-shattering loud noise, but it was Xue Yantuo's front that had already slammed into the rejection horse at the front of the Tang Army's array.
At the same time, the crossbowmen in the rear of the Tang army drew their bows and arrows, and the arrows splashed towards Xue Yantuo's soldiers who gathered together to charge.
For the Tang Army's rejection of the horse and gun formation, whether it was the Turks back then or Xue Yantuo today, there is no very good way to crack it. The Hu people are all cavalry and have strong mobility, but the Tang army's rejection of horses or spears will be followed by a large number of crossbowmen, once they want to move forward to move away from the rejection of horses or cruise to the flank to attack the gun array, they will be subjected to frantic fire from crossbowmen.
The Tang army's bows and crossbows are excellent, the range is long, and the three-edged arrow clusters of the arrows are extremely sharp, and the leather armor of the Hu people cannot be stopped.
Therefore, if you want to break the Tang Army's rejection of horses and gun formations, the only way to do it is to fight hard, and to use the hard shock of the cavalry regardless of casualties, as long as it is scattered, a large number of foot soldiers can only become the prey of the cavalry, and victory is within reach.
However, if you want to break up the Tang army's rejection of horses and guns, how easy is this?
The arrows falling from the sky were like a torrential rain and snow, and the sound of "poof" arrows burrowing into the body was connected, even in the midst of the screaming and screaming military formation, it must be clear and terrifying.
Xue Yantuo's retreat was cut off, so that it aroused the strongest desire to survive, even if he was pierced by the rejection of the horse, even if he was drilled into the flesh by the arrow, he still launched a decisive charge without fear of death, the front fell before the rejection of the horse pistol formation, and the back formation trampled on the corpse of the front formation, still charging non-stop!
Such a tragic situation made several battlefield juniors numb, trembling and sweating all over.
They are all pampered children, how have they ever seen such a scene like hell on earth, a mill of flesh and blood?
β¦β¦
The height of the horse is constant, and the point of the spear is cut from the stake or tied to the stake, and is aimed at the position near the neck of the enemy horse. If it is low, the enemy can ride over and directly enter the army's formation, and if it is high, it will not be able to do much damage to the enemy.
Before the rejection of the horse, the corpses of the Xue Yantuo warriors' war horses were piled higher and higher, and the dense corpses filled the gap between several rows of rejected horses, and the Xue Yantuo cavalry in the rear could finally step on the corpses of their comrades-in-arms, climb over the rejected horses, and rush straight into the Tang army array.
This time, it was a spear formation composed of spears that blocked the enemy.
The array of spears composed of rows of shiny bayonets was as solid as a rock, and each side had a shield holding a shield to resist the flying arrows, and the entire array was solid!
Compared with the fur that the Eastern Turks learned from the Han Chinese, how many miles apart?
Xue Yantuo still has no way to deal with the gun array, it is still the same old way, and they use men and horses to fill the ......
So, the people of Xue Yantuo used the corpses of the warrior's war horses to fill in step by step, hoping to fill in a way home.
However, more fighters fell on the road, with no hope of returning home......
The people of Xue Yantuo were also ruthless, if they were blocked by the Tang army on the Evil Yang Ridge, the only way to wait for them was to be gradually eroded, either surrender or die, and the whole army would be wiped out.
From noon until dark, the people of Xue Yantuo were so desperate to charge without fear of death, and the corpses of men and horses paved the road leading to the bottom of the mountain, and finally entered the Tang army array!
Xue Wanche sat on his horse, put on his helmet and armor, and watched the battle.
Zhang Daxiang hurriedly said beside him: "Commander, do you want us to lead the army to rush up and kill?" If Xue Yantuo is allowed to charge like this, I am afraid that the array will be rushed away by him! β
Xue Wanche didn't move, and said disdainfully: "If it is a field battle on the grassland, it is impossible to leave this Xue Yantuo people, but if the Xue Yantuo people want to break the array of the right martial guard here, it is not possible to pay such a small price!" β
Li Siwen was also a little anxious, and was about to persuade, when he saw the gun array in front of him suddenly disperse, and he and the shield hand moved quickly to both sides of the array, leaving the rear formation directly on the charging path of Xue Yantuo's people.
Xue Yantuo's cavalry, who was desperately charging, felt that the front was suddenly loosened, and he was immediately overjoyed, and he screamed and thought about the Tang army rushing towards the rear formation.
In their opinion, without the gun array, the cavalry would have no natural enemies, and the elite foot soldiers would be crushed like ants under the charge of thousands of troops!
However, they forgot that the Tang Army's strongest thing against the Hu people's iron cavalry was not only the gun array......
At the moment when Xue Yantuo's cavalry rushed to the rear of the Tang army, he saw rows of sword light flying up in the Tang army's array, and the snowy long knives were erected like a forest, and the sword light was like a wall.
"Hah!"
With an earth-shattering roar, countless long knives swung diagonally at the charging Xue Yantuo war horse, and the movements of thousands of people were uniform, and the snow-bright Dao light was like a round of sun flying on the ground, dazzling and murderous.
Dozens of Xue Yantuo cavalry were instantly cut off their horses.
Then, this Tang army did not retreat but advanced, its tall body was covered with heavy iron armor, its steps were firm, and every time you swung the long knife in your hand, Xue Yantuo's cavalry howled and tore and died on the spot.
The Tang army turned a blind eye to the Xue Yantuo cavalry in front of them, and marched like a wall, shattering all of them.
Mo Dao Array!
