Chapter 695: The First Battle of the Western Expedition (4)

"Boring!"

More than 10,000 cavalry raised their swords together, but when they saw that the swords stood like a forest under the scorching sun, the bright reflection converged into a dazzling galaxy, which was not small, but in Li He's view, it was just a small skill of carving insects, and he didn't take it to heart, pursed his lips, and scolded disdainfully, but he did not give the order to attack, but watched the way of the Great Food Cavalry Army.

"Attack! Kill all the Tang thieves! ”

Giad Ben Salisa waited for a while, and saw that the ** on the opposite side was just on the sand beam, but there was no sign of an attack, thinking that he was deterred by his own power, coupled with the fact that he was bullying ** soldiers, the fighting spirit was immediately raised, and regardless of the fact that his side was in a disadvantageous position in terms of geographical advantages, he shouted proudly, and led his troops to start rushing forward.

"Follow me, thief! You don't see the Hanzhong Army, and the weak crown is a captive, please ......"

Seeing that the Great Food Cavalry had been launched, Li Hezi was not to be outdone, pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist, pointed forward, roared, and rushed down the sand beam with a high song.

The two cavalry armies of the hedge are light cavalry, but the equipment is very different, ** light cavalry is basically wearing leather armor, only the general-level military officials are wearing Mingguang armor, equipped with weapons in addition to horizontal knives, there are also chain short crossbows, round shields and a firecracker, the crotch war horses are all Qinghai skull, which is the best war horse in the Tang Dynasty cavalry army, but compared to the Arabian horse under the seat of the big food cavalry, in terms of size and sprint speed, it is slightly inferior, but the gap is not big enough to affect the strength of the two armies, This is also the only advantage of the Great Food Cavalry in terms of equipment, in addition, the white robe worn by the Great Food Cavalry, the short scimitar in the hand and even the small round shield resting on the saddle, are inferior to the ** boss in texture, as for the bow and arrow held by the Great Food Cavalry in terms of range and power are far inferior to the chain crossbows and firearms owned by the Tang Cavalry, of course, the strength advantage of the Great Food Cavalry is more than three times that of **, but it is also an influencing factor that cannot be ignored, from the book point of view, It seems that the two sides should be evenly matched.

With the successive launch of the two cavalry armies, the originally dead desert suddenly became noisy, singing, roaring, and neighing horses were intertwined, and the melody of war was echoed into a high-pitched war melody, and the morale of both sides was so high that it was bursting, and they both believed that their side would be the last winner to laugh, but it was obvious that one side would inevitably become the opponent's stepping stone, and as for what it was, it would have to be known after the battle.

"Crossbow!"

Li He is a very proud person, when he fights, although he is very ruthless, but he is not an inflexible person, he will never let go of his own advantages and do not use them, and go to play to the death with the opponent, when the distance between the two armies is close to a distance of one hundred and fifty steps, but when Li He roared, the three thousand Tang cavalry who had been prepared for a long time untied the chain crossbow hanging from their waists and aimed diagonally at the galloping Great Food Army array.

"Archers in the back row, ready!"

Giad Ben Salisa is also an old man, arrogant to arrogant, but he will not forget his basic combat instincts, and almost at the same time as Li He ordered the short crossbow, he also shouted to order the large food cavalry in the back row to prepare to launch a cavalry attack.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The distance of one hundred and fifty steps is not short, but under the wild hedge of the two cavalry armies, it is not a small matter, but it is only a flash of effort, the distance between the two forwards is less than eighty steps, Li Hezi, who has already been estimating, does not dare to have the slightest delay, and shouts and gives the order.

"Whoosh, whoosh......"

The cavalry army under Li He is the old foundation of the Hehuang army, and the tactical literacy is self-evidently strong, and the general order is only one moment, all the cavalry pulled the trigger almost at the same time, three thousand strong crossbows were fired at the same time, and six steel arrows per crossbow machine burst out, only in an instant, more than 18,000 arrows were dense like locusts, overwhelmingly towards the vanguard of the Great Food Cavalry Army.

"The back row counterattacks, the front row rushes with me! Kill, kill, kill! ”

The big food cavalry obviously didn't expect the ** crossbow arrows to shoot so far, and when they saw the rain cover of arrows in the sky, it was too late to react, and before the big food cavalry forwards picked up the small round shield on the saddle, the arrow rain had fallen unceremoniously into the military formation, and it aroused an endless stream of miserable howls, and the originally neat phalanx immediately looked like a piece of meat that had been gnawed by a dog, and the east and west pieces of land were scarce, and more than a thousand horsemen fell under the looting of the ** arrow rain, such a situation came out, Giad ben Salisak's eyes turned red, and he screamed at the top of his voice.

Giad Ben Salisa's order was decisive, but the cavalry formation was in chaos, and it was not easy to regroup, and the rear army of the Great Eclipse that was disturbed by the fall of the cavalry in front was all busy adjusting their horse steps at this time to avoid the corpses of the people and horses who had fallen to the ground, and in a hurry, they could really release arrows according to the order of less than one in ten, and the sparse rain of arrows was not much of a threat to the ** cavalry, except for a few unlucky cavalrymen who fell off their horses, The overall formation was not affected in the slightest.

"Raise your sword, line up!"

Li He has been serving in the cavalry since the beginning of the army, and he is extremely proficient in the way of the cavalry, seeing that the Great Food Army has been in chaos, he will not let go of such a great opportunity to break the enemy, and regardless of the rain of arrows above his head is still sparsely falling, he roared and issued the final order for a general attack.

"Datang is mighty, Datang is mighty!"

The general order, ** in the formation of the battle horn paused, in the majestic roar, the original square queue was changed in an instant, the speed did not decrease, has switched to the extremely sharp triangular assault array, three thousand cavalry with Li He as the arrow, like an invincible sharp arrow shot at high speed towards the still chaotic state of the big food cavalry, three thousand snow bright horizontal knives raised high, shining in the scorching sun a piece of death light.

"Boom ......"

For the two cavalry armies advancing at high speed, the distance of sixty steps is just a blink of an eye, and they have collided together in an instant, and a loud bang broke out. couldn't resist the wild assault of ** at all, and without counting the casualties, the entire cavalry array was rushed into two unconnected sections by **.

"Turn right! Go back and kill again! ”

Li He is a number of fierce generals in the big **, this level of hedging has already experienced many times, the ability to capture fighters is not comparable to ordinary people, only a face-to-face hedge, he has a considerable grasp of the ability of the big food cavalry, in his opinion, the so-called big food strong army is simply a big joke, not to mention compared with the elite peerless **, compared with the defeated Tubo army of **, there is a certain gap, that is, a little stronger than the ordinary Turkic light cavalry, Fighting this level of the Great Food Cavalry, Li He is really a little lacking in interest, but it does not affect his determination to defeat the enemy, although he has never looked back to observe, but just listening to the sound from behind, Li He knows that the Great Food Cavalry has completely messed up, and he refuses to let go of such a good opportunity to break the enemy, he does not plan to stop his horse to rectify the formation at all, he roared, led his troops to make a circle in the desert, and killed the Great Food Cavalry who had just turned the horse's head and had not had time to organize the formation from the right flank. Stunned, the spirit of beating the water dog was brought to the limit.

"Don't mess around, whole team, whole team!"

In the previous hedging, Giad Ben Salisa did not stand in the way of the ** sharp, just with the ** array of more than a dozen Tang cavalry a few moves, although he was not injured, but also failed to achieve the slightest result, compared to the past in the past years in the Western Front every impact must have won a lot, it is simply humiliating to the extreme, but this time to see the ** go and come, he can't care about shame, roaring again and again trying to stabilize the chaotic cavalry brigade, but in the previous hedging, Including those who were killed by the crossbow, the Great Food Cavalry lost more than 1,500 cavalry, and the morale of the army was already greatly damaged, and the rest were still in shock, and there were not many soldiers who could hear the order.

"Rush in and kill!"

This head of Jiyad Ben Salisa has not had time to straighten out the formation, and that Li He has already roared and led his troops to kill from the flank of the Great Food Cavalry, only to rush down, the originally chaotic Great Food Cavalry immediately fell into a complete collapse, how can there be any fighting spirit at all, no one cares about how their own master will shout, all of them fled to the way they came, and there is no trace of the majesty of the strong army, it is simply a bunch of grass robbers, who are chased and killed all over the field. The defeat has become a foregone conclusion.

"Chase, catch!"

Li He's task is not only as simple as defeating the Great Food Advance Army, but also has the important task of luring the enemy into the depths......
