Chapter 367: Fierce Battle Mengkeng (3) (2nd Update)
In front of the heavy cavalry was the most elite three thousand Shatuo cavalry, but in the face of the thousand heavy cavalry in front of him, he still felt nervous, and the huge deterrent power and majestic momentum pointed directly at the hearts of the Shatuo cavalry.
Shatuo cavalry, as the most powerful cavalry in Hedong, also boasted to be the strongest cavalry in the Tang Dynasty, they would not be afraid of any enemy in front of them, but rushed directly and fought bloodily with the enemy.
But now, before they were attacked by that mysterious force and mysterious weapon, they were severely damaged, and a large number of elite cavalry hated their horses before they could kill the enemy.
After the attack, such a heavy cavalry suddenly came out, and the elite Shatuo cavalry also felt a trace of fear and panic.
The heavy cavalry marching in a neat queue was like a thick city wall, the earth shook, feeling the indestructible will, making the oncoming Shatuo cavalry chill.
"Block them!"
"Block them!"
Li Chengsi, who was watching the battle on the hillside, had chapped lips and a panicked face, and hurriedly shouted loudly.
And in the flat ground below, the cavalry of both sides were already engaged together. The 1,000 heavy cavalry of the Right Shence Army was like a sharp spear, piercing straight into the camp of the Hedong army, sweeping through the thousands of troops, invincible.
If it is in an open land like the grassland, the heavy cavalry is the target, but in this kind of terrain, the heavy cavalry is the needle of the sea god.
The elite Shatuo cavalry did not believe in evil, so they collided with it, and the expected fate did not appear, but the Shatuo cavalry at the front directly and ruthlessly crashed into the air, and the sharp horse lance pierced into one after another Shatuo cavalry with only thin armor.
If you are unlucky, you will be knocked into the air directly, and then fall into the hooves of the rolling horse, and disappear without a trace.
Li Chengsi did not expect that there would be heavy cavalry and artillery on the imperial court side, otherwise he would not have chosen such a terrain to fight against the imperial army.
The Shatuo cavalry, who couldn't turn around, couldn't stop this torrent of steel at all, and the formation of their three thousand cavalry was like paper paste, which could be broken when poked.
The three thousand elites, who were originally the biggest reliance under his command, were so vulnerable, watching Li Chengsi dripping blood.
At this time, Li Chengsi had no choice at all, so he personally led his own soldiers to join the battle, and mobilized a thousand cavalry from the left and right battlefields to attack the heavy cavalry from the flank.
In the face of the Shatuo cavalry, which was several times their size, the heavy cavalry did not panic, but responded decisively to the enemy.
The Shatuo cavalry is indeed brave, worthy of being the first cavalry of the Tang Dynasty today, but they encountered artillery and heavy cavalry, and they can only be blamed for being out of time.
Although the Shatuo cavalry fought bravely, they were light cavalry after all, and when they brandished their horse lances, spears and horizontal knives and slashed at the heavy cavalry, except for leaving a trace on the opponent's armor, they did no damage at all to the heavy cavalry wrapped in iron armor.
Not only the heavy cavalry, but also the horses under their crotch were also wrapped in armor, unless the soldiers of the Shatuo Army dismounted and cut off the legs of horses that were not wrapped in armor.
Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, to use heavy weapons to break the armor of heavy cavalry with brute force, but there are few such people after all.
Compared to the heavy cavalry, which was wrapped in a layer of indestructible turtle shells, although the Shatuo cavalry also had armor, they could not stop the heavy cavalry's lance stabbing at all.
Even if it is a heavy cavalry action cavalry, but as long as it is a swing of the lance, basically the Shatuo cavalry will be hit, and the light one will be injured and fall from the horse, and the heavy one will be killed directly.
But in such a melee scene, the danger of falling off the war horse can be imagined.
Even though the number of Shatuo cavalry fighting against the heavy cavalry was larger, a large number of Shatuo cavalry kept falling off their horses, and their lives and deaths were unknown.
Due to the lack of preparation in advance, in the face of the heavy cavalry hiding in the turtle shell, the Shatuo cavalry was helpless.
And Li Chengsi concentrated 5,000 cavalry to fight against this thousand heavy cavalry, but the remaining thousands of cavalry faced twice his own elite forbidden cavalry, and the result can be imagined.
After Fu Cunxian killed the Shatuo soldiers in front of him, he found that there were not many Shatuo cavalry in front of him, but the heavy cavalry was more dangerous.
He looked around, saw Yang Shihou who was killing in all directions, and shouted, "Yang Shihou took your people to reinforce the heavy cavalry!" ”
Hearing Fu Cunxian's order, Yang Shihou quickly shot the life of a Shatuo general in front of him, and then shouted at his subordinates behind him.
"Follow me! Kill! ”
"Kill!"
The strength of the heavy cavalry is that its charge is unstoppable, but when it stops, its power is greatly reduced, and the thick armor is a great burden for both men and horses.
Li Chengsi originally wanted to eliminate this heavy cavalry through attrition, but the forbidden army on both flanks quickly solved the enemy in front of him and began to reinforce the heavy cavalry.
A Jinzhou general quickly came to Wang Qian and said anxiously, "The eldest prince, the Shatuo people are no good, the heavy cavalry of the forbidden army is too strong, the most elite three thousand Shatuo cavalry is almost finished, and the other forbidden cavalry has begun to outflank it."
We must withdraw, and if we don't, we won't be able to leave! ”
Wang Qiang, who was protected by many pro-soldiers and was relatively safe for the time being, looked a little panicked when he saw the erosion of the entire battle situation, but he thought that he was an ally of the Shatuo people, and retreated at this time, wouldn't he go behind his ally?
The generals below obviously also guessed Wang Qiang's worries, "Eldest prince, staying in Qingshan is not worrying about running out of firewood, staying here is to bury these Shatuo people, it's not worth it!" The imperial court is only crusading against Hedong, not against our Jinju! ”
Hearing this, Wang Qian suddenly reacted, as if in the imperial court's inscription, they did not include Jinzhou in the scope of the crusade, but they were just wishful thinking.
Thinking of this, Wang Qiang, who had come to his senses, raised his sword and shouted, "Retreat, retreat, Jinju soldiers retreat!" ”
"Jinju soldiers retreat!"
Shouts one after another sounded in a corner of the battlefield, and when they heard this voice, the Jinju cavalry, who were fighting hard against the forbidden army, turned their horses' heads one by one as if they had been amnestied, and ran as fast as they could.
And as the Jinju soldiers began to retreat, the situation on the entire battlefield became even more obvious.
。。。。。。
Yang Shihou, who was a reinforcement of the heavy cavalry, was not like Li Chengsi and Wang Qian who hid behind, but took the lead and rushed directly into the camp of the Shatuo cavalry.
Holding a spear weighing dozens of pounds, he was extremely flexible, and every swing and dance pierced the air, with a hint of whistling, and the enemy in front of him couldn't stop him at all.
The cavalry of the Zuo Yulin Army behind him shouted slogans one by one and followed behind Yang Shihou, and under the leadership of their general, they slaughtered in all directions, directly rushing the formation of the Shatuo cavalry into chaos, like a sharp arrow shooting into the enemy's waist and abdomen.
