Chapter 419: Bloody Battle

In foreign wars, according to the usual field warfare methods of the Tang army, the regimental card and the infantry are generally in front of the sword formation, first forming a copper wall and an iron wall-like fortress, shooting from a distance and slashing at the cavalry against the barbarians. The light cavalry is generally used as an auxiliary unit, responsible for plundering and chasing and attacking on both flanks.

Datang's Mo knife, as long as one zhang (about three meters), weighs dozens of catties, is a long-handled double-edged foot combat machete, if it is not a strong man with brave arms, it cannot be wielded. When swinging, you need to hold your hands tightly, and then put the handle of the knife on the waist mark, and use the waist as the axis to get up and slash with all your strength. Its long handle, weight, and double blades all determine its great lethality!

Therefore, even if it is an infantry, as long as the Mo knife is in hand, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army are not afraid of the barbarian cavalry with strong impact. One knife down, people and horses are easy! In addition to the terrifying lethality, the power of the decorator is also quite amazing!

The pioneer Yuwen Hongtai led by his command is the most elite Modao team in the Kansai Army. Although there were only more than 5,000 in number, all of them were like small armored vehicles, and they never knew how to retreat in the face of the enemy's cavalry torrent!

Today, Hou Junji, who commanded the battle of the former army, also made some adjustments to the fighting style in response to the eight formations discharged from the Garqin Mausoleum. He did not let Yuwen Hongtai lead the Mo Dao Formation to rush forward, but first put on a defensive position, quickly set up a repelling deer horse in front of him to pose a double group card synthesis barrier, and then sent five thousand crossbowmen to Yuwen Hongtai, and first sniped with arrows and crossbows after the group card formation to slow down the impact of the Kunlun Iron Cavalry.

Nearly 10,000 crossbowmen fired arrows into the sky, and the rain of arrows and stones descended like a plague of locusts, and they fiercely penetrated into the cavalry group of Tibet, killing and wounding many people.

However, the momentum of the Kunlun Iron Cavalry did not weaken by half a point. This cavalry unit, worthy of the elite of battlefield veterans, kept a very good distance between each other when charging, and with excellent horsemanship and exquisite knife skills, it dodged and parryed arrows falling from the sky. The psychological quality of this group of people is also very strong. Even if the rain of arrows brushed his cheeks, he could keep his face unchanged and his heart not beating, and continue to crouch on the saddle and gallop forward.

Hou Junji immediately looked at the Kunlun Iron Cavalry rolling in front of him like a tsunami wave, his eyebrows furrowed and his face grim.

Bows and arrows have always been the most advantageous weapons against barbarian cavalry. Now it seems that the effect on the Kunlun Iron Horse is not very significant......

Qin Mubai stood on top of the high cloud platform, and his face was also a little solemn. The battle between the two armies has begun, and from a condescending distance, you can see at a glance where the gap between the two armies is-very obvious, whether it is in terms of momentum or individual battle level, the Kunlun Iron Cavalry is more than one grade stronger than the current new army in Kansai!

Roaring like thunder ahead!

The Tang Legion's card array broke, and Yuwen Hongtai led the Mo Dao Array to kill out!

It's like two opposing armored cars loaded together, earth-shattering, Devil May Cry!

In the deafening shouts of killing, smoke and dust and blood mist rose together. A little farther away, Qin Mubai couldn't see any details of the battlefield at all. It's just that I can clearly see that Yuwen Hongtai's five thousand Mo swordsmen rushed forward, just like a person who hit the wall fiercely and was instantly knocked back miserably!

The disparity in strength is huge, and I suddenly see superiority!

Qin Mubai's heart was very tight.

In the battle formation ahead, Hou Junji's face tightened even more, and his teeth were gritted to the bone. Half a point in the battle, with his experience, it can be seen at a glance that the elite Tubo army Kunlun Iron Cavalry in front of him is indeed very "hard".

Whether it is equipment, horses, the level of individual combat of the soldiers, or the proficiency of tactics, it is not comparable to any brute army encountered in the past!

To put it simply, the Kunlun Iron Cavalry, it has two abilities at the same time: the traditional advantage of brute soldiers - strong individual combat ability, and extraordinary tactical literacy!

Qin Mubai began to understand why, in just ten years, the Garqin Mausoleum was able to assist the abandoned sect to collect a complex, large and fragmented plateau into a unified and complete Tubo Empire; At the same time, Tubo's military and national strength are also expanding day by day, in addition to conquering many neighboring small countries, they dare to provoke the Tang Dynasty!

They don't have abundant products and a huge population base, nor do they have a deep culture and religion as a foundation and belief, and they don't even have their own writing!

Relying on this outrageously powerful army in front of you!

……

The five thousand Mo sword soldiers under Yuwen Hongtai slaughtered into the Kunlun Iron Cavalry Group, like a chicken swallowed into the belly by a giant beast of the wilderness, and the mud cow entered the sea in an instant!

Hou Junji's face changed.

The flag was raised, and the left and right winged cavalry were dispatched to help the battle!

In the distance, in front of the large roulette tent dragged by eighteen snow-white yaks, the corners of Garqinling's mouth raised slightly, revealing a sneer of extreme disdain, and he drank a glass of barley wine with his neck tilted, and his left index finger and middle finger nodded slightly forward. The starter on the sentry beside him instantly picked up a big blue flag and waved it desperately against the wind, while blowing a whimpering yak horn!

There were more than 10,000 cavalry on the left and right wings of the Tang Army, all of which were the elite cavalry of the original Lanzhou Field Army, most of them were veterans, and they could be regarded as well-trained elite divisions. This kind of thing is really difficult for ordinary recruits to do this kind of thing.

According to the general tactics of the past, the Yue cavalry flew together on both wings, and the cavalry attack forcibly tore the gap from the two wings of the enemy's military formation, and then gave full play to the advantages of mobility and rushing power, piercing into the belly of the enemy's army like a sharp knife, messing with the enemy's horns so that its head and tail could not care about each other, and then dividing and killing.

But today, when these two groups of Yue Cavalry rushed from the two wings, they unexpectedly found that the Kunlun Iron Cavalry they were about to face actually dodged to both sides like a tide, like a giant beast opening two bloody mouths, just waiting for them to throw themselves into their arms!

The Yue cavalry soldiers were surprised!

These veterans of the battlefield have never seen the infantry advance and retreat so freely and orderly in the battle formation, when have they seen such strange cavalry? - In other words, how many people have seen a group of cavalry rushing forward, suddenly turning around and running back, without bumping into their own people behind? Even, some of them are walking backwards directly, not slowly, and releasing arrows while walking!

If you haven't practiced thousands of times, how can you play when you are facing the enemy in front of the battle, such skilled cooperation and exquisite riding skills!

On the gimbal, the corners of Qin Mubai's mouth twitched.

Although he couldn't see the details of the battlefield clearly, he had an unobstructed view of the big picture. Now it seems that the cavalry array of Tubo is like a huge sponge, and the Tang army is like a wisp of ink - a sponge, easily devouring the ink, and there is nothing left!

Soon, the Tang army on both wings rode into the cavalry group of Tubo, and instantly fell into a heavy encirclement!

"One is one, and eight are separated...... In addition to Wei Gong, it is estimated that there is only Garqin Mausoleum in the world, who can use this formation so perfectly! Although he was very unwilling, Qin Mubai admitted this fact in his heart.

Hou Junji couldn't sit still.

There have been twenty-five thousand elites who have entered the Kunlun Iron Cavalry, and they are like mud cows entering the sea with no effect; Behind him, there were thirty or forty thousand soldiers and horses, more than half of whom were recruits.

Can you expect these 30,000 or 40,000 recruits to turn the tide of the war against the sky?

"Impossible!" Hou Junji understands this fact better than anyone else.

But now, there is no way back! …… Even if all these 30,000 or 40,000 recruits are killed in battle, it is worth it to save a Mo swordsman and a Yue cavalry!

"Beat the drums!" Hou Junji roared loudly, and the iron spear was raised high - "Whole army, assault!" ”

"Kill—"

The shouts of the mountains and the tsunami shook the sky, except for Qin Mubai's Yifu Yue cavalry and snow sculpture army, the rest of the Guanxi army was killed in the battle array......

Qin Mubai, his eyes were like ice, and his face was like cold iron.

This battle, even if Hou Junji is not allowed to lose by fraud, this is such a complete loss...... Gap!

There is indeed a huge gap between himself and the Garqin Mausoleum, between the young Kansai Army and the old Kunlun Iron Cavalry!

"Mu ...... Mu Bai ......" There was a trembling low oh behind him, from Li Xueyan, who had already forgotten her existence by Qin Mubai.

"What?" Qin Mubai didn't look back and asked mechanically.

"I ...... I...... I know, what...... It's war. Li Xueyan kept inhaling the cool air, still shivering.

"That's good." Qin Mubai was still looking ahead.

"I ...... I won't go to Tibet. I'm going to stay in Dafeichuan and take care of the wounded soldiers, is that okay? ”

"Whatever."

"......" Li Xueyan felt that she was clearly a hot face and a cold ass. But at this moment, she could also understand Qin Mubai's mood. Therefore, I dare not say more.

The battle was in full swing, and the vast Qingluo Plain, which was hundreds of miles wide, was trembling like an earthquake. In the face of this earth-shattering battle, the mountains, rivers and clouds seemed to be shocked, and the wind and clouds changed color.

The battle situation was quite unfavorable for the Tang Army.

Although Hou Junji had already led the main Chinese army into the formation, the one-sided battle situation was eased, and the two sides were roughly evenly matched. But...... In the distance, half of the Kunlun Iron Cavalry has not moved!

Garqin Ling simply sat on the horse, with a pot of wine in front of him, and his face was pale and pale.

"Hou Junji, you have a false name!" He couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "It's just eight formations that will make you so embarrassed." After today, what face do you have to dare to claim that you are the proud protégé of Pharmacist Weigong? ”

"Whew-" A whole glass of wine went down his stomach, Garqinling smacked his lips, Zhizhu was in his hand, and he was full of spirit!

At this moment, a subtle change occurred in the battle formation - Hou Junji led a brigade of guards cavalry and broke through the northwest corner. At the same time, the Yuwen Hongtai Mo Knife Team, which was the first to fall into the encirclement, actually killed a bloody stream from the deepest encirclement, and was also rushing to the northwest corner with difficulty!

On the gimbal, Qin Mubai's eyes flashed with a light of surprise!

"Not bad! Very good! - Hou Junji, you really didn't disappoint me! Even if you are trapped in a heavy siege, you can see through the weaknesses of the enemy's battle formation! Qin Mubai punched excitedly and said to himself, "There is no perfect existence in the world!" No matter how exquisite the tactics are, no matter how strong the army is, there are also his shortcomings and omissions! ”

"Mu Bai, what are you talking about?" Li Xueyan was confused and couldn't help but ask softly.

Qin Mubai spoke quickly for a while, pointed at the middle of the battle, and then said: "You see, on the northwest corner, that is, at the place where the snake pan is divided into eight formations, it may be that the main general suddenly died, and the corner of the formation was slightly chaotic for a while. Hou Junji seized this fleeting fighter and really attacked the snake array! At the same time, the most elite brigade of my Kansai army, the Mo Sword Team, miraculously came out of the encirclement, and obeyed Hou Junji's orders, and also launched an attack on the snake array! ”

"That'...... What does this mean? Li Xueyan, who doesn't know anything about military affairs, can only ask like this.

"Combining into a formation and leaving into eight formations is actually a formation. The biggest advantage of this battle formation is that it is both offensive and defensive, and it is as difficult to break through as an iron wall. However, as long as there is an abnormal miscommand in one of the corners, it may lead to the collapse of the whole situation! Qin Mubai gritted his teeth and said, "Now, it's up to Hou Junji to see if he can break through the snake formation!" ”

"That means ...... Hou Junji may turn defeat into victory, right? Li Xueyan asked cautiously.

Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Li Xueyan, and said with a wry smile, "Sort of!" ”

Li Xueyan bit her lip in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so nagging, too many mouths and more tongues." I don't know anything about the military......"

"It's okay." Qin Mubai showed a rare smile, but immediately turned his head and continued to pay attention to the battle situation, with a solemn expression.

Li Xueyan quietly let out a long breath.

The current scene has already overwhelmed her a little out of breath. Since she was a child, she never even dared to pinch an ant to death, let alone kill a chicken. Right now, it is a scene of 10,000 people fighting a river of blood, and limbs flying all over the ground!

She was amazed why she hadn't fainted, and she could still keep her eyes open and watch the scene in front of her!

At this moment, Garqinling's action of holding the wine glass paused, and his brows inadvertently flicked for half a minute.

"Order, the snake pan array retreats, after the flying dragon is broken, the tiger wings and bird Xiang double formations fill in the gaps and reorganize the eight formations!"

Tubo's generosity waved again, and the battle situation changed again!

Suddenly, it was seen that the cavalry of the first brigade of the snake formation, which had just fallen into a short period of chaos, quickly began to retreat. Every cavalryman, even if he was stuck with the sword of the Tang Army, desperately retreated!

The cavalry of the Flying Dragon Formation stabbed obliquely and slashed in, like a big gate between the snake cavalry and Hou Junji, blocking the soldiers and horses of Hou Junji's department!

Eight formations of Tibetan cavalry, like a huge whirlpool in the torrent, began to rotate and rotate rapidly, and in an instant, the remnants of a brigade were withdrawn, and the remaining seven soldiers and horses were actually reorganized into eight formations, generating a new one-eight formations!

Hou Junji, shocked!

Qin Mubai's face changed suddenly!

"How is this possible! - "One was in the formation, the other was on the gimbal, and the two of them let out such a terrifying roar almost at the same time!

"Huh!" At this time, Garqin Ling played with the blue and white pattern wine glass in his hand, and said leisurely, "Will it frighten you?" Fierce battles, changing formations, dismantling and reorganizing, such a handicraft, except for my Garqin Mausoleum in the whole world, I am afraid that only Wei Gong Pharmacist can do it! …… It's a pity, it's a pity, Gong Wei, your old man was born forty years early! ”

"Mu Bai, what's wrong?" Seeing Qin Mubai's expression change dramatically and his face palpitated, Li Xueyan asked eagerly.

"......" Qin Mubai glared angrily at the steel teeth in front of him, clenching his teeth, and said nothing.

Li Xueyan didn't dare to ask again. The sisters on the left and right hurriedly waved their hands at him, signaling her not to do much.

"Smack!" With both hands slamming on the railing, Qin Mubai turned around and walked under the cloud platform.

"Yifu, snow sculpture obey orders! - Get ready for battle! ”

"No——!"

The 800 Snow Sculpture Army has secretly sent 300 people to Pang Fei's command. Right now, Qin Mubai only had this five hundred fire gods left in his hand, who had never been in battle!

The cloth bag is opened, and the musket is born!

Li Xueyan on the gimbal suddenly had a heartbeat, and couldn't help but tremble...... "Mu Bai, you must be careful!! ”

"Princess, don't walk around watching the battle here, my sisters will go down to fight with the young marshal!"

"Okay, you go!" Li Xueyan hurriedly said, "Remember, don't let him be hurt!" ”

"Understood!"

The two sisters each nodded their heads, and their feet stood on tiptoe, like two goshawks, flying down directly from the cloud platform, and landed next to Qin Mubai's Huoyun Horse left and right.

Tiger head chisel golden gun, forward finger proudly!

"The Vulcan breaks the formation, and the more cavalry charges—the whole army, follow me to assault!"
