Chapter 792: The Brave Wins When Narrow Roads Meet (Part II)
The moment Cao Bin saw Shen Yi recognize the flag falling, he immediately ordered a charge. They were only a thousand steps away from the battlefield, and if the Tang army was allowed to drive the defeated troops of the Shen Department back, it would affect the formation and make his cavalry lack the space to charge.
Tang Bing's strength was beyond his imagination.
Now he finally feels that Huainan Gong Yunda is not unjust at all, it's not that this guy is a wine bag and rice bag. When Li Ze landed in the south of the Yangtze River, it was far earlier than they imagined, otherwise, it would be impossible for these arrogant soldiers from the north to gather so many in Yangzhou silently.
The sound of the horn is not only an order to charge, but also a warning to the soldiers who have retreated from the Shen Division, to get out of the way, otherwise they will inevitably become unjustly killed on the road of cavalry charge.
Once a thousand cavalry charged, it was impossible to stop. They can only destroy everything that stands in their way until they are exhausted.
He was confident that the soldiers knew what to do.
Because in ordinary training, it is not like today, there is no training.
Sure enough, after hearing the sound of the horn, the defeated Shenbu soldiers immediately rushed to the left and right, and in the process, the surviving officers of the Xuanwu Army would try their best to restore their formation among the defeated soldiers, and then join the battle on the left and right flanks.
This is the sign of a strong army.
Even if you lose, you need to find a few opportunities to turn defeat into victory in the process of failure.
What made Cao Bin even more amazed was Tang Jun's reflection.
They were not carried away by the victory they had just won, and they did not bite the tail of the defeated army of Shen to further expand the fruits of victory, and if they did, they would definitely be exposed to the range of the cavalry's attack after the sudden turn of the Shen army just now.
It seemed that at the moment when the Shen Department had just been defeated, they knew that Cao Bin would immediately launch a cavalry attack, and they used their fastest speed to set up a phalanx in the middle of the road.
The shield is like a wall.
Spears like a forest.
The vanguard of the Tang Army, which numbered nearly 1,000 people, shrank into such a tight phalanx at this moment, standing still in the thunderous sound of horses' hooves.
Behind them, the two hundred cavalry led by Ren Xiaonian rushed forward without hesitation.
Ren Xiaonian looked relaxed.
Although Ge Cai was injured, she looked relaxed when she was standing in the center of the phalanx with a knife.
Liu Yuan and Qin Scar, who were on the left and right flanks, didn't seem to see that the central formation was about to be violently attacked by thousands of cavalry, and they were still fighting with the Xuanwu army on the opposite side wholeheartedly.
Cao Bin rushed to the front of the line.
He suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Because the war horses ridden by Ren Xiaonian's cavalry on the opposite side were actually blindfolded. The charge at this moment completely relied on the skillful horseback control skills of the horseman.
Li Ze's cavalry has always been much stronger than other forces, because he can always get the best war horses and a large number of Fanyi warriors to join, in this regard, he has an innate advantage, but this is not the reason why Ren Xiaonian is behaving so abnormally now.
Ghosts!
It's just that Cao Bin doesn't know where this ghost is and what it will be!
The next moment, he knew the answer.
Ren Xiaonian had an extra black thing in his hand, and there was a short piece of rope hanging behind the thing, and the rope was sparkling at the moment, with the help of the momentum of the war horse, Ren Xiaonian used all his strength to turn the black stone in his hand towards the Xuanwu Army cavalry on the opposite side.
After throwing his hand, he grabbed the war horse, and it was already diagonally around to one side, and he galloped wildly, not to charge and fight Cao Bin to the death, but just to throw this thing.
Behind him, the other two hundred cavalrymen did the same, threw out the black stone in their hand, divided into two teams, left and right, and swept past in front of Ge Cai's phalanx.
Almost as they threw these things, Ge Cai shouted, "Everyone, bow your head and close your eyes." ”
The habit of obeying orders had infiltrated these Tang soldiers in their bones, and they subconsciously lowered their heads and closed their eyes.
The next moment, a violent explosion sounded.
It was like a nine-day thunderbolt exploding on the battlefield, and each explosion was accompanied by a dazzling light.
Cao Bin's war horse is a good horse in a thousand, and Cao Bin has been with him for many years, which can be said to have the same mind, basically equivalent to Cao Bin's hands and feet, but at this moment, the hands and feet that should be obeyed by the mind suddenly have their own thinking, and instinct prevails at this moment. It hissed and slammed on the brakes, its stout hooves digging deep marks into the ground, and then turned sideways and ran to the other side.
Cao Bin's ears were buzzing, his tears were flowing for a long time, and he could barely see. he
He leaned down, hugged the horse's neck, and tried his best to soothe the horse, trying to restore its calm.
It's over!
Cao Bin turned his head and looked at the battlefield with all his might. The thousands of battle-hardened cavalry under his command exploded at this moment.
It was not his soldiers who blew up, but the horses under their crotches.
The sound of three violent explosions in a row, and the dazzling bright light carried by each explosion were enough to make the war horse lose control. The cavalry charge, which was originally like a torrent, was no longer visible at the moment, and the knights could not control the war horses under their crotches, so they could only let the war horses lead them around.
Cao Bin rubbed his eyes violently, his eyes were red, and he could barely see the scene on the battlefield clearly.
He knew that his subordinates were no better off than him.
No wonder, no wonder the other party blindfolded the horse, and the ears of their war horses were also blocked, it turned out that they used this trick.
A familiar smell came from the nose.
That's not new.
Every Chinese New Year, the children in the family will play with the medicine puppet.
It's just that it shouldn't be so loud! It shouldn't be so bright!
Looking at the Xuanwu cavalry scurrying around like headless flies, Ren Xiaonian laughed loudly, leaned over and ripped off the blindfold of the war horse, and pointed forward with the big knife in his hand: "Kill the enemy!" ”
The two hundred cavalry converged into a torrent and rushed forward like a sharp blade.
At the same time, Ge Cai also raised his sword high and shouted: "Kill the enemy!" ”
The tight phalanx just now suddenly dispersed, and the groups of soldiers still formed a structure of spears, swords, shields, and crossbowmen, and slaughtered to the front of the battlefield.
The enemy's cavalry was in complete disarray.
At this moment, not only could their horses not see, but even the rider himself could not see with his eyes.
If you don't kill now, when will you wait?
The Xuanwu cavalry didn't say they were killing the enemy at the moment, it would be good to be able to ride on the horses reluctantly, they hugged the horses one by one, and could only let the war horses take them around, resigned to fate. From time to time, horses would trip over obstacles on the ground because they could not see and were not driven by riders.
The tall horses fell heavily to the ground, not to say that they could get up by climbing, and some even broke their hooves when they fell, and a large number of cavalrymen were crushed by the huge horses because they could not get out of the saddle in time.
Ren Xiaonian laughed happily, and every time the horse chopping knife in his hand was swung, it would bring up a puddle of blood.
The general trend has been set.
What Ren Xiaonian threw out earlier was a new weapon that Beidi had just made.
Li Ze really wanted to make a powerful gunpowder out, but unfortunately, by now, the investment was huge, but the harvest was very small. What was created was nothing like the gunpowder in his image. He didn't think that he could make muskets and cannons, and in fact, the most rudimentary muskets were not necessarily opponents of strong bows and crossbows. Even if he could only make a few earth bombs, it would be enough to make him happy.
But even such a request is not effective in a short period of time.
The thing in Ren Xiaonian's hand is just a large second kick, but there are other things mixed in it to make his sound louder, and it also has the function of strong light and flash.
This thing can't kill people, but it can scare people to death, and even if it doesn't, it can scare horses.
Whether it is a human or an animal, there is always a fear of something that has never been touched.
Today's battle was a great success, and Cao Bin suffered a big loss when he was caught off guard.
Gunpowder has been available for a long time, but if you want him to have strong lethality, you can't do it overnight, Li Ze can only let his subordinates slowly grope forward in the dark.
The Xuanwu army collapsed on all fronts.
When Cao Bin fled in embarrassment with his horse's neck, the battle situation was no longer in suspense.
After Ren Xiaonian led his troops to chase and kill for more than ten miles, he collected his troops and returned.
Cao Bin didn't want to come to him again for trouble. It's a pity that if this guy is slaughtered here today, it will inevitably hit the morale of the Xuanwu Army, this person is on the Xuanwu Army's side, but he is a famous general. However, being famous also means that this person is extremely experienced, not only in victory, but also in defeat.
The military doctor looked at the dagger on Ge Cai's armor with some worry, his hand trembled a little, and he didn't dare to pull it out, looking at the degree of the dagger's penetration, he was afraid that it would hurt him inwardly, don't look at Ge Cai's current appearance, or the next moment she pulled out the dagger, she would fall. Liu Yuan's face was also pale, standing beside Ge Cai with a knife, his hands trembling slightly.
"Captain Ge, you really don't feel anything?" The medic asked.
Ge Cai shook his head, looked at him and said impatiently: "Hurry up, this thing can't be stuck in my stomach all the time, right?" Aren't you a military doctor? ”
The medic shook his teeth and reached out to grasp the dagger.
Resigned.
Pulled out or saved.
If you don't pull it out, after a long time, you will still die.
With a loud shout, he pulled out the dagger, and the blood flowed out immediately after the dagger that was pulled out, and he didn't care that the other party was a woman, so he used the dagger in his hand to cut the armor silk around Ge Cai's waist, lifted the breastplate, and then used the dagger to cut the clothes near the wound with a few clicks, and the bloody wound appeared in front of him.
"Is the old lady still saved?" Ge Cai asked with some humility.
The medic looked at the wound, took a deep breath, and remained silent for a while.
"Is the old lady still saved?" Ge Cai asked angrily.
"Congratulations to the captain, it's fine, it didn't hurt the internal organs, just skin injuries." The military doctor was very emotional, Ge Cai was very fat and strong, and the meat on his stomach was very thick. This dagger is extremely ruthless to the opponent, but with the blocking of the armor, and then with these fat to resist, it does not hurt the internal organs, if you change to a thin one, it is estimated that it will be a big trouble.
"Sure enough, the fat man is good!" Liu Yuanxi smiled.
With a "bang", a helmet flew up from the ground and smashed heavily on Liu Yuan's head, but a miserable scream was surrounded by more laughter.
