Chapter 625: Cavalry Raid

On Huangyun Mountain, on the top of Polo Castle, Raza was also listening to the shouts of killing at the bottom of the mountain. At this moment, a deafening shout of killing came from all sides at the same time, and it was his generals who began to attack from all sides.

No tactical intent?

That's what he said to his generals.

But that's not the case.

Every battle has its purpose, but sometimes everyone understands it, and sometimes only the main general understands it.

The true intention of this battle is clear to only Raza.

Raza is not a person who is willing to give in easily, nor is he a person who easily accepts his fate.

In the words of the Chinese, it is not to die until the heart of the Yellow River, not to see the coffin and not to shed tears, as long as he is not dead, he thinks that everything is possible.

The first meaning of attacking from all sides was to contain Li Ze's troops and horses arranged in other aspects, so that they could not assist Li Ze's Chinese army in time, and he would deliver a fatal blow in the direction of the Chinese army.

He uncharacteristically used the infantry to attack first, and the order he gave to the general who commanded the infantry was to draw the Tang army on both sides of the first line of defense. The best outcome is that the troops of the second line of defense of the Tang Army, in the face of such a situation, will not be able to help but send reinforcements to the first line of defense.

If that's the case, that's great.

This is the tactical goal he wants to achieve the most.

Because of this, he now gathered 15,000 of the strongest Tibetan cavalry, and he would face the third line of defense of the Tang army. It was also the cavalry unit of the Right Thousand Niu Guard.

He didn't believe that the cavalry troops of the Right Thousand Ox Guard could compare to his own bravery on horseback since childhood.

In the past two days, he has seriously observed the deployment of the right Qianniuwei.

There are not many flaws.

But there are no flaws, only before the war, as soon as the battle starts, the slightest mistake in command will naturally reveal the flaws, and as long as a flaw is caught, it will cause a chain reaction, and the flaws will become more and more and bigger. Eventually, it leads to a global crash.

He was looking forward to this moment.

Liu Ruyan, a woman in her early twenties, can actually command an army of tens of thousands of people, this Li Ze's nepotism is really appalling, in order to control the army, even his wife sent horses.

Raza didn't look down on Liu Ruyan at all.

Of course, he had heard that Liu Ruyan was extremely brave, but so what? Not every general of the three armies is a qualified commander.

Besides, a woman, no matter how brave she is, how brave can she go?

In Laza's mind, it is impossible for an extremely brave woman to have such a delicate mind, these small tricks on the battlefield, and the ever-changing on the battlefield, how can the young Liu Ruyan have his experience?

Now, his first goal has been reached.

The first line of the Tang army's deployment is collapsing, and in such a fog, they are unconsciously following the footsteps of the Tubo soldiers in fighting, fighting, and dying. And in the middle of the defensive line, in the midst of their battle, little by little, expanded.

Such a battle is only possible in such a fog. If it is under the condition of clear vision, it is impossible for any defensive general to make such a mistake.

The shouts of killing below became more and more intense, but unfortunately, the fog was too big, and he couldn't see the situation on the battlefield at all, and he didn't know if the second line of defense of the Tang Army had been mobilized.

But it doesn't matter anymore, the arrow is on the bow and has to be sent.

If he can mobilize the whole line and move the army towards the two wings, then the heavens will favor him too much. He can lead the elite to knock only Li Ze's Chinese army camp, if this is the case, then the victory or defeat is not yet known?

Not to mention whether he can kill Li Ze, such a good thing, even Raza doesn't dare to think about it, but his chances of breaking out of the encirclement have greatly increased.

As long as you get out of this encirclement, the hope of killing back Tubo will be greatly increased.

The corners of Laza's mouth twitched, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

In this tactical plan, the subordinates who break through in the other three directions will be victims.

Of course, another scenario is not excluded.

That is, Li Ze guessed that he was going to raid the camp of the Tang Army, so he transferred reinforcements from other sources and set up another encirclement waiting for him in front. However, in this way, the defensive strength of the Tang Army in other places was also weak, and the hope of those subordinates of their own to rush out was greatly increased.

This can be regarded as exchanging his own sacrifice for the lives of his subordinates.

So no matter how you calculate it, it's worth it.

Closing his eyes and tilting his head sideways, he discerned the voice coming from the front in the midst of countless shouts of killing.

Time passed minute by minute, and it had been almost half an hour since the start of the war, and in front of him, a gap of more than a thousand steps had appeared.

He stood up.

As he stood up, the crowd in front of him, behind him, left and right, and the black pressed crowd also stood up.

"Get on the horse!" Raza shouted.

"I died here today." Raza choked and pulled out the war knife at his waist and pointed forward: "Attack!" ”

"Attack!"

The shouts of attack spread from the top of the mountain all the way down the mountain. The Tibetan cavalry, who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for a long time, turned over and got on their horses, and with a shout, they moved their horses and galloped forward.

The 15,000 cavalry, like a rushing torrent, launched an unpredictable death attack in the dense fog towards the unknown front.

As Raza said, this is the place where you have to die today.

Chen Bing roared angrily and raised his knife to slash, with a bang, the horizontal knife broke through the armor, deeply embedded in the neck and shoulders of a Tibetan soldier on the opposite side, and pulled out the knife hard, but the knife was stuck in the bones, shook left and right, Kaba sounded, and the horizontal knife broke in response, today's knife has broken too much armor, killed too many enemies, and has long been overwhelmed.

Dropping the horizontal knife in his hand, he didn't have time to find a new weapon, there was a scimitar on the opposite side, Chen Bing shouted, the whole person rushed forward, his left hand was already holding the scimitar arm under the ribs, his right hand was wiped on his waist, a black dagger had appeared in his hand, a straight stab, the dagger stabbed straight into the mouth of the screaming Tubo man, and the shouting stopped abruptly.

Kicking away the dead body in front of him, Chen Bing bent down and picked up a horizontal knife from the side of a Tang Army soldier who had died in battle.

Just as he was about to move forward again, he suddenly heard the sound of cavalry rushing. It was a movement that could only be made when thousands of troops were attacking, and although he could not see it, he could hear it.

And the place where that voice came from was on his side.

Chen Bing suddenly understood that since the start of the war, he had been to the side, chasing the Tubo soldiers and not knowing how far he had gone.

A cold sweat broke out.

I got out of the way of the front of the defense. Let Raza's cavalry face Chu Sheng on the second line of defense.

"Brother, you have to hold on!" Chen Bing knew that at this moment, there was nothing he could do, all he could do was to kill the enemy in front of him.

"Brothers, kill!" Putting aside all selfish distractions, and not thinking about how Chu Sheng would deal with the enemy's cavalry next, Chen Bing was bent on slashing and killing the enemy on the opposite side.

Chu Sheng listened to the thunderous sound of horses' hooves.

"Put!" Behind him, the shouts of officers were heard, the trebuchets let out a loud whistling sound, and dozens of stone projectiles flew into the air.

At the speed of the opposing cavalry, the trebuchet could probably put another round.

Chu Sheng strode forward with a saber in his hand, and walked to the forefront of the defense line, in front of the defense line, in addition to the dense crossbow machines, there were only some improvised obstacles that were temporarily erected.

"Shieldmen step forward!"

Rows of large shieldmen walked ahead without hesitation.

"Pikeman, gun!"

The pikemen lowered their long spears into the gaps in their shields.

Shieldmen and spearmen are all arranged behind the crossbow, and the crossbow machine only has one chance to fire, and each crossbow can shoot six crossbow arrows at a time. Then they will become the first obstacle to stop the enemy's cavalry.

Although the strong crossbow is expensive, it is not worth human life, as the Zhonglang generals of the right Qianniuwei, Chu Sheng and Chen Bing are the generals most influenced by Li Ze. The strong crossbow is gone, and it can be rebuilt, but it will take at least seventeen or eighteen years for a man to grow. So, these expensive crossbow machines, if they are gone, they will be gone.

"Crossbow, shoot!"

Even though the officers used all their strength, they were insignificant in the thunderous sound of horses' hooves.

A familiar sound sounded, and a strong crossbow as thick as a child's arm shot out with a buzzing sound, and hundreds of crossbow machines were arranged on the battlefield of more than 1,000 steps, and their density was enough to be described as frenzied.

The sound of collapse kept sounding, and after six sounds, the crossbowmen dropped their crossbows, turned around and ran towards the position behind them. When the soldiers approached, the big shields opened a little gap in the side at the right time, allowing them to run in, and then with another bang, they merged into one again.

In the thick fog, the screams kept ringing, but the sound of horses' hooves like thunder was still getting closer and closer.

"Crossbow bolts!"

Behind him, the crossbow archer raised the crossbow machine in his hand, and countless crossbow arrows flew into the sky and into the thick fog.

From the moment the first stone bullet landed, Laza's heart sank and he was extremely disappointed.

The second line of defense of the Don army did not move, they were still in place.

It's a pity that my wonderful plan was only half realized in the end.

The stone bullets kept falling, and the strong crossbow came horizontally, and listening to the sound of the dense strong crossbow, Raza's mouth was a little bitter. The Tang Army's crossbow arrows like flying locusts may not be fatal if they are hit by one, but this kind of strong crossbow, as long as they are brushed against each other, they will definitely die, it is difficult for him to imagine how many such strong crossbows have been arranged on the other side, and he doesn't know how many people his forward cavalry has lost.

At this moment, they have no other way to go but to rush forward.

Fortunately, after rushing through the opening of more than 1,000 steps exposed by the first line of defense of the Tang army, his 15,000 cavalry could scatter and attack, while the strong crossbow was concentrated in the middle of more than 1,000 steps. Even if there is a loss, it will not hurt the muscles and bones. And with the speed of cavalry, it is categorically impossible for the other side to have a second chance.
