Chapter 563: The Fierceness of the Pro-Army
Li Xin was killed from behind enemy lines at once during the great battle between the two sides. Although the soldiers who fled back from the Shimen Barrier wanted to tell Tuoba Gu the news that the Tang Army had left the Shimen Barrier, where could they find anyone under the chaos of the war at this time.
It wasn't until Li Xin led the Flying Dragons to fight into the Dai army that they realized that their back road had been broken through.
The place where the two armies fought was located at the confluence of the north and south tributaries of the Yellow River, at the foot of the westernmost gambling mountain of Wula Mountain. This place, in later generations, is Wuliangsuhai, but at this time, it is only the northern branch of the Yellow River.
The armies of both sides were slaughtered here, and except for the part of the troops that had remained on the west bank of the Yellow River and had not come, the rest of the people had already been thrown into it.
From the perspective of the battle situation, Sun Tie's side does not have an advantage because the number of people is too small. If it weren't for the 5,000 unbroken army led by Zhang Hao to support, I'm afraid Sun Tie would not have chosen this method of taking the initiative.
He flanked with infantry and a small number of light cavalry, and the unbroken army was the central army, a total of 10,000 horses formed an army formation.
When Tuoba Lone led the army to come violently, he felt a little bad when he saw the unbroken army in the array. After all, the clothes of the unbroken army are really a bit conspicuous, and the black heavy armor of Yishui wraps the whole body, and only two eyes can be seen.
Each soldier carried a bow and arrow on his back, some of them holding a glittering Mo knife in their hands, and some of them holding a long-handled broadsword. Compared with the ordinary Tang soldiers around them, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
However, seeing that the Tang army was not numerous, and he had never heard the rumors of this army and horses, Tuoba Gu did not hesitate much, and directly ordered the army to rush towards the Tang army.
Then the war began to stalemate. The soldiers of the Dai Army, shouting various slogans, rushed over, and were immediately entertained by the Tang Army with a wave of bows and crossbows. When the other party rushed forward, the Bupo army began to exert its might.
Because of the excellent armor on his body, the arrows of the Dai army have almost no great effect, and they can't break the soldiers of the army at all.
Especially Zhang Oy, who was very brave, with a Mo knife in his hand, it was like a flower, and he rushed to the front and killed the enemy horseman.
I'm afraid that those soldiers of the Dai Army have never seen such a fierce person, and in the face of the charging cavalry, they actually dare to directly step forward. But when they fought with the Broken Army, they realized how wrong they were.
Dai Guorao's iron smelting technique is not good, and even the iron materials used to cast weapons are in short supply, so it is better to build armor. If you want to do this like Tang Jun to the point that everyone is wearing armor, it is simply impossible.
Therefore, their attacks could not hurt the Tang army, but the Tang army's swords and arrows could easily penetrate their bodies.
As a result, the soldiers of the Dai Army saw the most unforgettable scene in their lives. One by one, the cavalry that rushed towards the Tang army either fell directly from the war horse whose legs were cut off, and then was killed by the Tang army's foot soldiers behind. Either way, they were directly cut in two by people and horses.
The most powerful is naturally Zhang Oy, a fierce general, but whenever he encounters his acting soldiers, there is basically no complete one. The people around him only heard him shouting like thunder, and after a flash of cold light in front of him, only the corpse on the ground was divided into two halves.
Such a scene, even for the soldiers of the Dai Army, who often drank blood, was a burst of fear. At this time, when they looked at these Tang troops in front of them, they no longer felt that the other party was the same person as themselves, but like a wild beast.
Many soldiers of the Dai Army spontaneously avoided the soldiers who did not break the army under fear in their hearts, so how could this battle be fought. The unbroken army took the opportunity to march forward, killing all the way forward, and actually killed the substitute army back.
Their strategy is also very clear, that is, to directly target the war horse, in this way, the enemy will lose the greatest reliance. Once they lose their horses, these soldiers are probably not as good as ordinary foot soldiers.
And the ordinary Tang Army soldiers who followed behind the Unbroken Army were specially designed to deal with these soldiers of the Dai Army who had lost their war horses.
It is precisely because of this cooperation that Sun Tie was able to fight a stalemate with Tuoba Gu's 50,000 army with an army of 10,000.
"Reinforcements, this must be reinforcements from the Tang Army!" When Tuoba saw this scene when he was fighting, he immediately understood, and couldn't help but say angrily.
"This Tang army is so strange, why have you never heard of it?" The promotion next to him said curiously.
"Hmph, this must be the most elite soldier and horse in the Tang Army, and it has never been used in the past! If we continue like this, we will be defeated. Fortunately, the opponent is not very numerous and should be able to be defeated. Immediately send the order, at all costs, this Tang army will be completely wiped out! After thinking for a while, Tuoba said coldly.
He can see that what is really blocking him now is actually this strange Tang army. If you get rid of them, the rest of the people won't have to worry about it!
He had no problem with this idea, but when he really wanted to implement it, he encountered difficulties. Because, Li Xin was killed at this time.
"Lord Qiyu, a cavalry of the Tang Army suddenly came out of the back, and it has already entered the army!" The sudden news deepened the worries in Tuoba Lone's heart all of a sudden.
Standing on this high post, he looked east, and he could see that on the battlefield, there was a torrent like flames, which was quickly piercing ~ on the battlefield. This torrent was like a flaming arrow, wedged into his own army
It was the Wyvern Riders, they were all dressed in dark armor, and each of them was draped in a fiery red cloak. Especially the fiery red battle flag painted with a flying dragon makes this unit particularly dazzling.
"Don army reinforcements! There is more than one reinforcement from the Tang Army, and this one must have come from the stone barrier! Shizi, you immediately gather your troops and horses and go to stop these Tang cavalry. As for the Tang Army's foot soldiers in the west, it will be solved by Lord Ben! After seeing this scene, Tuoba Gu immediately understood that under this situation, there was no room for retreat on his side, except for fighting to the death.
"Yes, I'll go right away!" Tuoba Yujun did not hesitate, and hurriedly rode his horse into the battlefield.
In the middle of the battlefield, Li Xin and Hong Yi led five thousand flying dragon riders, rushing back and forth on this battlefield.
Although they are all cavalry, the Wyvern Riders are all wearing heavy armor at this time, and even the war horses are covered with a layer of armor. After all, if the cavalry fights against the cavalry, if they can outperform the opponent in terms of equipment, they may win to a large extent.
The Wyvernhorse is a heavy cavalry, and if it weren't for this, it wouldn't have taken seven years to become an army from its establishment to the present. After all, the Immortal Army and the Flying Dragon Rider combined, the manpower and material resources it consumed were simply a penny.
Of course, judging from the current scenario, this one is also worth it.
When the flying dragon rode on the battlefield and sprinted, there was almost no burden, even if the Tang cavalry on the horse did nothing, just rushed towards the opponent directly on horseback, and could directly knock the opponent's cavalry out.
Not to mention that when they sprinted, the sharp spears in their hands easily pierced into the bodies of the soldiers of the Dai Army, Zheng Feilong rode in the east, and the army was in the west, and the distance between the two was about ten miles.
When you stand on a high place and look down, you will find that on this battlefield, the red Wyvern and the black Unbroken Army are slowly approaching Zhizheng, and everywhere they pass, there are only wails and corpses everywhere.
After sprinting back and forth in the enemy formation for a while, Li Xin began to change his combat methods, he led the Wyvern to turn around and ran back to the east of the column, and then re-lined up. This time, he let the Wyvern ride like a goose's wing, and once again rushed towards the Dai Army.
In this way, all the soldiers of the generation army within the scope of this goose's wings were trampled and wiped out. Anyone who dared to resist was either killed by a bow or dismounted by a spear.
The Tang armies on both sides are advancing rapidly, and even if Tuoba Gu and Tuoba Kuojun try their best to resist, they can't stop this trend. The 50,000-strong army was soon like a lost dog, chased north by the Tang army on the battlefield, and killed a man who lost his armor.
The battle lasted from the morning until the sun was about to set, and the Tang army suffered extremely little damage after this battle. But almost every one of the soldiers of the Immortal Army and the Flying Dragoon seemed to have come from the river of blood.
On the ground, the soldiers of the Dai Army fell to the ground, and many of the beneficiaries were wailing and weeping at this time, and Zheng Wuzhu's war horse neighed on the battlefield, and walked uneasily.
"The last general will see His Highness!" Sun Tie and Zhang Oyster came to visit, and the two finally breathed a sigh of relief after winning the battle.
"Excuse me! You've all worked hard in this battle! Li Xin nodded and said.
"Serve His Highness and be loyal to the country, how to talk about hard work!"
"Order someone to clear the battlefield immediately! After that, Sun Tie, you lead the army eastward, camp in the north of Shimen Barrier, and guard against the army from there to the south! Zhang Oy, you immediately lead the Bupo Army back to the west bank of Baiqushui, and prepare to attack Shiyiqian with Li Erhei! As for this king, he will lead the Wyvern to continue eastward, and then cross Daqing Mountain from the north and attack Shengle City! The war was urgent, and Li Xin didn't plan to stay longer, so he immediately ordered.
"Yes, the last general commands!" Sun Tie and Zhang Hao hurriedly responded.
Soon, Li Xin led the Wyvern to leave the battlefield, and then followed the path of Tuoba Gu and them, hoping to kill Shi Yiqian before he learned of the defeat on the Western Front.
