"Big brother, the Tang army is going to be defeated. They actually left only a few thousand cavalry to cover the infantry, and they couldn't stop the charge of the 10,000 cavalry of the coalition army at all. ”

On a hillside some distance from the battlefield, Shang Guangsi and Shang Guangming were like Songzhou before, observing the situation of the entire battlefield from the battlefield.

Compared to playing soy sauce in Songzhou and looking at the excitement, this time Shang Guangsi brought 10,000 cavalry over, just behind the hillside where they were standing. Although it is also a piece of black oppression, it is still nothing compared to the two armies in front of him.

"Not necessarily." Shang Guangsi shook his head, because he found that until now, the Tang army had not dispatched the nearly 10,000 cavalry on the left flank.

Tang and Shang Daze both knew that he had arrived, after all, he had tens of thousands of cavalry, and he couldn't hide at all, and the scouts on both sides found the traces of his troops.

Although both sides sent people to win him over, they also guarded against him.

Especially on the Tang side!

The left flank cavalry of the Tang people was actually guarding against him, and they were also old opponents, and the main force was the cavalry of the Songzhou Governor's Mansion.

Even at this time, the fact that this cavalry did not move speaks for itself.

"Big brother, unless the cavalry of the Songzhou Governor's Mansion goes to reinforce it."

"The Tang army has not yet reached the time when it is necessary to dispatch the cavalry of the Songzhou Governor's Mansion, it can be seen that the Tang army still has confidence, but I don't know what it is. Could it be that there are still reinforcements? ”

Thinking of this, Shang Guangsi shook his head, the Tang Army's ability to dispatch 30,000 cavalry at this time was already the limit. As far as he knows, the Tang court is not having a good time now, and the Tang people have bought war horses in the northwest many times before, which shows that the Tang people lack war horses, in this case, the Tang people should not be able to get more cavalry.

He guessed correctly, unless it was Li Ye who mobilized Zuo Tiance's army.

Don't look at the current Li Ye's subordinates, in addition to the left and right guards stationed in Chang'an, there are ten forbidden armies, but the strength of these armies is strong and weak, and there are more and less cavalry. www

There are not many cavalry of the left and right Shenwu Army, the left and right Longwu Army and the left and right Yulin Army, and they can only ensure that there is one cavalry in each compartment, and the war horses are not high-quality first-class war horses, most of them are second-class war horses.

In total, there are quite a few cavalry, with fifty or sixty thousand, which can support these tens of thousands of cavalry, which is equivalent to raising more than 100,000 infantry.

For the current imperial court, there is really a lot of pressure, and half of last year's treasury income was invested in the army, not counting the two million guan that Li Ye took out from his small treasury, which shows how difficult it is to feed the more than 200,000 troops.

Moreover, most of the current war horses were purchased from the Tibetans, Uighurs, Guiyi Army, and Dangxiang, and the price was not low, which also increased the cost of cavalry raised by the imperial court.

For a short period of time, Li Ye did not want to expand the scale of the forbidden army for this reason, which is also the reason why he did not want to crusade against Li Keyong.

The imperial court seems to be strong at the moment, but all this is false, first find soft persimmons to pinch, and then deal with those tricky ones.

Compared with the conquest of Li Keyong, Li Ye chose to use troops against Longyou.

Shang Guangsi, who was watching the battle from a distance, knew that if the Tang army's infantry was defeated, unless the Tang army sent the cavalry of the Songzhou Governor's Mansion to reinforce it, it was very likely to lose the battle.

So he didn't dare to blink too much at all, so as not to miss the wonderful scene.

And Shang Ying rushed over with tens of thousands of allied troops from several tribes, looking at the inconvenient Tang infantry phalanx, his eyes were full of fanaticism.

"Whoosh!"

The dense arrows tried to keep the enemy a hundred paces away, but there were too many Tibetan cavalry in front of them, and the enemy also picked up bows and arrows to counterattack.

As a people on horseback, mounted archery is a skill that must be mastered. www

"Bang bang bang!"

The arrows shot straight at the shields and iron armor of the Tang soldiers, and because in front of the entire phalanx were the heavy infantry, all of them burly and wearing thick armor, and only their eyes and noses were exposed.

The arrows of the Tibetans were not sharp, so most of the arrows were bounced off by the armor of the Tang soldiers, and only a few unlucky ones were shot, but they were quickly dragged away by the soldiers behind, and then new people came on top.

Seeing that the soldiers around him were constantly hit by arrows and landed, even Shang Ying, who was full of confidence, was a little shocked, and hurriedly shouted to the guards around him, "Divide a part and attack the flank of the Tang Army!" ”

The guards on the side looked embarrassed, "But Tang Jun... ”

Before the guard could finish speaking, the situation on the battlefield changed, to be precise, in favor of the Tibetans.

It turned out to be a tribal warrior, so he rushed to the front of the Tang army with the dense arrows of the Tang army, and dozens of steps in front of them were infantry like 'lambs to the slaughter'.

In the eyes of these Tibetan soldiers, the infantry was a lamb to the slaughter. This is just lip service, whether it is a lamb to be slaughtered, only when it is really handed over.

Shang Ying had never seen the strength of the Tang Army's infantry phalanx in the field, so in his opinion, this situation was an excellent opportunity to break through the Tang Army's military formation.

"Rush over, rush over for me!"

"Your Highness?"

Gu Yanlang next to him shouted eagerly.

"Don't worry, it's not your chance to attack yet." Li Jiepi still has some understanding of the strength of his cavalry, even if he attacks at this time, it is impossible to change the situation of the battle, "Command to go down and order the Mo sword soldiers to attack!" ”

"Woo。。。。。"

A low trumpet sounded in the camp of the Right Shenwu Army, and the soldiers at the front, raising their spears and shields, retreated like a tide. Eight hundred heavily armored Mo swords and the pace was like Mount Tai, they were two hundred people in a row, holding the cold and shining Mo swords, and approached the Tubo cavalry step by step, with resolute eyes.

Seeing the sudden appearance of these hundreds of Tang Army heavy infantry, Shang Ying did not react, after all, the Mo sword soldiers have rarely appeared in recent decades, Shang Ying may have seen the Tang Army generals holding the Mo knife, but he definitely never saw so many Mo sword soldiers appear at the same time.

"Yo ...

Although the Tibetan soldiers who rushed to the front felt that something was wrong, they were close at hand, and they could not retreat if they wanted to, but rushed forward shouting.

Eventually, the two armies began to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

The extremely fast Tubo cavalry directly pounced on the Tang Army's Modao Soldier phalanx and collided directly with each other.

The unexpected situation in which the Tang army was defeated did not happen, but the Tubo cavalry seemed to crash into a thick city wall and broke their heads and bled out.

A Mo knife soldier roared, and the sharp Mo knife slashed directly diagonally downward, directly chopping off the two front legs of the war horse of a Tubo soldier facing him, and the hot horse blood splashed his face, and the war horse neighed, and then fell down with a bang.

Before the Tubo soldier who fell off his horse could react, a cold light flashed, and the whole person fell to the ground.

"Kill the horse first, then kill the man!"

The roar sounded from the Mo sword soldiers, and some of the Mo sword soldiers who had reversed the order reacted instantly, and slashed directly towards the nearest Tubo cavalry war horse.

Although the losses of the Mo sword soldiers were also very serious, the offensive of the Tubo cavalry in front of them was blocked, as for the losses, looking at the legless war horses on the ground and the Tubo soldiers who were split in half, you can know that they were worse than the Tang army.

"Fight back! Counterattack! The cavalry also attacked! ”

The offensive of the Tibetan army was contained, and the only remaining defeated Mo sword soldiers were like humanoid titans, blocking the charging Tubo army to the death.

The Right Shenwu Army can be a strange sword soldier at this point, Li Jiepi didn't want to lose it like this, so he hurriedly ordered a counterattack.

With the sound of dull drums, the pikemen and sword and shield soldiers behind the Mo sword soldiers marched forward in a neat pace.

The spear pierced the warhorse, and the arrow flew into the enemy's body.

At the same time as the infantry launched a counterattack, the cavalry of the Right Shenwu Army also launched a charge.

"It's finally time for us!"

The cavalry of the Right Shenwu Army was suffocated, and they had been watching the other cavalry and their own infantry fight before, but they were watching from the sidelines, and they couldn't bear it for a long time.

If you don't fight, where do you get your achievements?

。。。。。。

"How did the infantry of the Don Army hold back the charge of the cavalry?"

Shang Guangsi in the distance looked puzzled, because it was too far away, he only knew that the Tang army had blocked the charge of 10,000 cavalry in front, but he didn't know what to block.

No one around him could answer this question, unless he ran to the battlefield on his own.

Just when Shang Guang was puzzled, a large patch of sand and dust rolled in from the northwest, and because he was standing high enough, he was the first to find it.

He could be sure that this was a cavalry, reinforcements from which side of the battlefield below? Coalition's? Or is it the Tang Army's?

But he knew that the appearance of such a cavalry at this time would have a great impact on the battle situation.

At this time, the coalition forces have begun to show their decline, and when the Tang Army still has nearly 10,000 cavalry not dispatched, what does this mean?

If this cavalry is a reinforcement of the coalition army, it is fine, if it is the Tang army, then the coalition army will definitely be finished.

Soon after, the two sides that were fighting also discovered that a cavalry of unknown origin had come from the northwest?

Enemy? Or reinforcements?
