Chapter 273: The Great Battle of the Shatuo Army (4) (2nd Update)

Laugh at!

"This Shatuo army really lives up to its reputation, and it takes out 10,000 cavalry casually, which really makes me envious of Lao Zhang, such a good cavalry, but it's a pity that it's not ours."

Looking at the Shatuo cavalry in front of him, Zhang Zao couldn't help but be a little envious on the side, and he couldn't wait to snatch this cavalry back, but unfortunately he could only think about it.

Now Liu Kui commands the 50,000 troops of the left and right Shence Army, and it is naturally no problem to take out 10,000 cavalry. His right Shence army is rebuilt on the basis of the Fengxiang army, plus he is a concubine, and Princess Changning is still the sister of King Shou, so his right god army will be appropriately tilted in horses, ordnance, military headquarters and ordnance supervisor.

"General Zhang, there is no need to envy this, when we defeat the Shatuo army, we can also have such a powerful cavalry."

Liu Kui squinted, don't look at him young, but he didn't despise the Shatuo Army in front of him, these generals present, except for a few who followed him from the original Shence Army, no one else had fought with the Shatuo Army.

The generals present were all older than Liu Kui, but for Liu Kui, whether they were envious or jealous, they still obeyed his command.

Liu Kui can become the general of the Right Shence Army at such a young age, and many factors are because he married the sister of King Shou, the eldest princess of Changning, otherwise no matter how capable he is, he will not be able to become a general with tens of thousands of troops in his 20s.

Of course, if he is not capable, even if he marries a princess, Li Ye will not be able to let a waste person take charge of the army.

"General, this Shatuo cavalry is indeed extraordinary, how to fight next? If it's a cavalry duel, we'll be at a loss. The general next to him reminded.

Liu Kui nodded, he naturally knew the gap between the two sides.

Don't look at him, he also has more than 10,000 cavalry, but the gap between the two is very large. In terms of equipment, the cavalry of the Shence Army is not weaker than the Shatuo Army, but there is a gap in the war horses, and this is a small problem.

The biggest gap between the two sides is still spirit, that is, morale.

The Shatuo army has been on the battlefield for a long time and can be called the strongest cavalry in the Tang Dynasty at this time. On the other hand, the Shence Army has suffered several heavy losses one after another, and it was defeated more than a year ago under the Shatuo Army, and most of the rebuilt Shence Army was also formed on the basis of the original Shence Army and the Fengxiang Army, and these were all defeated generals under the Shatuo Army.

Facing the Shatuo Army again, it would be very good for these people to pick up their swords and fight. In fact, whether it is the Shence Army or the Yulin Army, they all need a big victory to boost their morale, especially the Shence Army, which has suffered setbacks one after another, if it can't achieve a big victory, it is very likely to be sluggish.

"It's certain that you will suffer, but you must go through this level, if even this Wanshatuo army can't show the courage to face it, this army will really collapse. According to the plan, the cavalry is in the front, the Mo sword soldiers are in the middle, and the crossbow soldiers and sword and shield soldiers are in the back, I don't believe that these 30,000 troops can't stop this 10,000 Shatuo army. ”

Because in this kind of field battle, whether it is rockets, assault rifles, or Tiance cannons have lost their effectiveness, the earth-shaking thunder is powerful, but it is only suitable for close combat, and in the face of high-speed charging cavalry, the sky-shaking thunder is not much use, which requires the speed of the enemy's cavalry to be reduced, so that the sky-shaking thunder can be used in close combat.

But in this era, the best way to deal with cavalry is cavalry, followed by heavy infantry.

Heavy infantry is actually very easy to organize, but it is bulky and mobile, and it is easy to be killed by enemy cavalry. Therefore, the heavy infantry can only play a greater role if it is combined with the cavalry.

The reason why Liu Kui dared to face this 10,000 Shatuo cavalry was not because he had 30,000 people, nor because he had 10,000 cavalry, but the heavy infantry behind the cavalry.

It was three thousand Mo sword soldiers armed with Mo knives and wearing thick armor, which Liu Kui could put together by relying on his relationship with Li Ye. The Modao is the best infantry against cavalry, but it requires a dense phalanx and a large number of Moswords.

Mo knife is not more complicated and troublesome to make than horizontal knife, even if the Ordnance Supervision has improved the production method, the output is still not high.

Although each army has a certain number of Mo sword soldiers, it is not easy to gather three thousand Mo sword soldiers, and it is also the relationship that Liu Kui is the concubine of Princess Changning, otherwise it is impossible to gather the Mo sword required by three thousand Mo sword soldiers.

The Mo sword soldiers are naturally invincible against the cavalry, but because of their lack of mobility, the flanks are the biggest weakness.

For these 3,000 Mo sword soldiers, Liu Kui was divided into three rows, one row of 1,000 people, located behind the cavalry phalanx, the flanks were each escorted by 1,500 cavalry, and the rear was a dense infantry phalanx, and the crossbowmen could support the Mo sword soldiers at any time.

As a result, the frontal cavalry was only 7,000 people, and it was definitely invincible in the face of the Shatuo cavalry. However, Liu Kui did not expect to be able to stop the Shatuo cavalry with seven thousand cavalry, his real killing move was the three thousand Mo sword soldiers, and the role of the cavalry was just to block the Shatuo cavalry and make the Shatuo cavalry stop.

The advantage of light cavalry is in its mobility, but if this mobility is gone, in fact, the advantage is naturally gone.

Under Liu Kui's order, Zhang Zao led 7,000 cavalry to be in front of the formation, blocking the Mo sword soldiers behind him, and not allowing the Shatuo cavalry to find the Mo sword soldiers behind, so that it could have a miraculous effect.

Watching the Shence Army take the initiative to advance, Li Kegong squinted, he didn't expect the Shence Army to be so bold. Although the battle formation of the Divine Ce Army was a little strange, he was proud and did not take these 30,000 Divine Ce Army into account.

"Attack!"

With Li Kegong's order, the dull sound of the horn sounded in this empty flat land, and the horn of the attack resounded in the sky. The 10,000 Shatuo cavalry, with the 3,000 crow army as the core, launched an attack, and the 10,000 cavalry became faster and faster, brandishing swords and spears, like a raging storm, thinking of the Shence army rushing forward.

The whole earth was trembling, and in the face of the charge of the Shatuo army, although the Shence army was a little flustered, but under Zhang Zao's order, seven thousand cavalry also charged.

As the cavalry cavalry in front of them charged, the three thousand Mo sword soldiers behind were revealed, and the cavalry on both sides were in formation and did not charge, their task was only to protect the flanks of the Mo sword soldiers.

Feeling the trembling of the whole earth, these three thousand Mo sword soldiers were also a little flustered, but under the order of the leader of the general, the formation was opened, and the three thousand Mo knife brushes were erected, and the three thousand pairs of eyes covered by the thick armor were seriously staring at the battle situation in front of them, and their hands subconsciously clenched the Mo knife, and at this time, only this Mo knife and thick armor could give them a sense of security.

As the cavalry of the two sides collided together, shouts of killing resounded throughout the battlefield. As soon as he made contact, Liu Kui saw that his cavalry was not the opponent of the Shatuo cavalry, and the momentum was obviously inferior to the Shatuo cavalry.

In the shouting of killing, the sword flashed, blood flickered, the war horses neighed, and the war horses lost their owners. A large number of corpses fell from the standing horses, and then became the target of the warhorses of both sides to trample on at will.

Seeing the cavalry in front of him strangled together, the general who commanded the Mo Dao soldiers behind him roared.

"Ready!"

After an order, the three thousand Mo sword soldiers raised their Mo swords and began to take the heavy steps forward step by step. Although it is slow, the momentum is getting stronger and stronger.

Li Kegong, who had just killed a Shence army, saw the Mo Dao soldiers coming towards the battlefield, and his face changed greatly.

"Mo Dao Soldier!"

。。。。。。

"Your Highness, it's a Mo Sword Soldier, and it's a dense Mo Sword Soldier phalanx!"

Not only Li Kegong saw the Mo Dao Soldier, but Li Keyong and the others who were watching the battle from a distance also saw the Mo Dao Soldier who was like a soul hook messenger from hell.

For cavalry, the Mo Knife Soldier is the nemesis.

If the Shatuo cavalry faced the Mo sword soldiers, they might be able to break through, but now they were dragged by the cavalry of the Shence Army and lost their mobility, and in the face of the Mo sword soldiers approaching step by step, the result can be imagined.

The first to exclaim was not Li Keyong, not Gaiyu, not Yang Fugong, but Li Kening. Li Kening is not a famous general like Li Kexiu and Li Kegong, he rarely goes to the battlefield, especially after Li Keyong served as the envoy of the Hedong Jiedu, he has not been on the battlefield once, and he is more planning behind the scenes.

He naturally knew the power of the Mo Sword Soldiers. It's not that no one knows that the Mo Dao Soldier is the best infantry class to deal with cavalry, but knowing it doesn't mean that you can form a decent Mo Dao Soldier.

Huang Chao's army itself is a rabble, and ordinary swords are not even, how can they get thousands of Mo knives.

The same is true of the previous Zhuzhen Alliance and the Shence Army.

It is precisely because of this that the Shatuo army has forgotten that there is still a Mo sword soldier, but seeing the situation in front of them, everyone remembered this big killer.

"What's going on? Why does the Shence Army have such a strange sword soldier? Privy Envoy Yang? Li Ke stared at Yang Fugong on the side with an unkind expression, and there was a rhythm that the other party would turn his face on the spot without giving him a reasonable explanation.

ゑ新ダ~(8)~1~Chinese 碲ωωω.Ο‡~8.~1zΡ‰.cΓ²ΠΌ

Yang Fugong's face was gloomy, and he was questioned by Li Keyong in front of so many people, which made his majesty swept away.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, what does this matter have to do with us. If King Shou wants to hide it, will he let us know if it can't be done? Yang Fugong didn't speak, it didn't mean that Yang Shouli on the side could bear it.

Knowing this, they might as well surrender to King Shou, and this Li Keyong is not easy to match. If he chooses to cooperate with King Shou, even if he is unsatisfactory, he will not be reprimanded by Li Keyong in front of everyone now.

Although the other party said it to Yang Fugong, Yang Fugong is his father-in-law. What is the difference between saying Yang Fugong and talking about him?

"Alright, Shouli." Yang Fugong said in a deep voice, and then glanced at Li Keyong coldly, "I don't know what His Royal Highness King Jin wants our family to do?" Death to apologize? ”

Li Keyong didn't expect Yang Fugong to react so much, and Gai Yu next to him hurriedly stood up to persuade peace, "Your Highness, the privy envoy is angry, and the top priority is to defeat the Shence army in front of you." ”

"Your Highness, Gai Ya is right. We didn't expect that the Shence Army would have such a Mo sword soldier, and the cavalry of the fourth child would suffer a lot if they faced the Mo sword soldiers. Li Kening also hurriedly persuaded.

"Humph!" Li Keyong did not relent, but he also took advantage of this step to come down and instructed Li Cunzhang on the side, "Cunzhang, take your Yi'er army to reinforce your fourth uncle." ”

"Yes!"

Li Cunzhang clenched his fists and said, and then quickly turned around and left, and Li Cunxiao, Li Siyuan and others next to him also followed, they were all members of the Yi'er Army.
