Seeing that more and more soldiers rushed to the city, Hertzzan's tense black face finally showed a happy smile, but he did not let go, but raised his hand, and was ready to give the order for a general attack, however, without waiting for his order to come out, he saw a horse sentry rushing from the north, Hertzzan's eyes couldn't help but be cold, hesitantly put down his hand, and forcibly swallowed the order to exit.

"Report, general, three miles to the north, I found ** cavalry, about 3,000 people, are killing our department at high speed, please make it clear!"

The sentry rushed very fast, and in a few breaths he had already rushed to the Chinese army, but when he saw one of his saddles rolled off his horse, he panted and said a word.

"What? Where did the horses come from? Who is in the lead? ”

As soon as he heard the ** cavalry killing, Hertzzan's face couldn't help but become gloomy, and he drank a series of questions in anger.

"General Yu, look at the banner is Anxi's cavalry, and there is a word 'Li' on the big fashion in the army, but I don't know who is leading the army."

Seeing that Hertzzan's expression was wrong, the newspaper horse did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly explained it.

"Anthy? Plum? ”

Hertzzan originally thought that it should be the soldiers and horses of Kuozhou, but when he heard that it was actually the Anxi army, he couldn't help but be stunned, and for a while he really couldn't understand how the Anxi cavalry, which was nearly thousands of miles away, was killed here, but in any case, the ** reinforcements have been killed, and freedom cannot be done carelessly, and now, what is in front of him is a dilemma - how to take the already crumbling Caohan City while meeting the ** reinforcements!

"Order: The infantry army will continue to attack the city, do not stop, the cavalry retreats, and go with the general to meet the enemy, Ninggu Sidu, immediately assemble the headquarters, and fight with the general!"

In the end, Hertzzan was still unwilling to give up the city of Caohan, which was already within easy reach, and thought that his own cavalry was as many as 6,000, plus the 3,000 troops of Ninggusdu, it was more than three times the number of people who came to help.

"Woo, woo......"

As soon as Hertzzan gave the order, the mournful horn sounded, and the Tibetan cavalry brigade, which was originally providing fire support for its infantry troops in the lower reaches of the city, immediately retreated, and at the same time, the Salar tribe army, which was lazily watching the excitement on the flank of the battlefield, turned north one after another, and the whole battlefield was chaotic for a while.

"Reinforcements! Reinforcements have arrived, brothers, drive the thieves out of the city, and kill them! ”

The adjustment of the Tubo army is really not small, the first officers and soldiers who were originally struggling to support have all noticed the change in the situation, but they didn't understand what happened for a while, but Zhang Mingwu didn't care, shouted loudly and took the guess as a fact to announce, as soon as this statement came out, the defenders who were already unable to support it were greatly boosted, and under the desperate hard fighting, they forcibly blocked the impact of the Tubo infantry, and the two sides were inextricably killed on the city.

"Speed up, keep up!"

On the prairie less than three miles north of the city of Caohan, a fiery red battle flag swayed in the wind, and a young general under it rode a horse like a fly, this person was Li He, the general of Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang - since the year before last after the Tuyuhun War, Li He did not return to the Longguan system, but stayed in the Anxi army, and Li Xian came forward to protect the performance, promoted to the position of Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang General, and led the troops to be stationed in the sandbank, nominally under the command of Anxi Duhu Ashina Daozhen, but in fact only obeyed Li Xian's orders, this time Li Xian left Luoyang before, After receiving Li Xian's secret order three days ago, he led the whole army into the pass, rushing nearly a thousand miles to help Hezhou, at this moment, he could already see the black smoke billowing up from the city of Caohan, Li He was anxious, eager to kill the city immediately, and the roaring order was full of excitement for a battle.

"Drive, drive......"

Li He's department is not all Han people, in fact, the Han people only account for more than half of them, as for the rest, it is a large gathering of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions, almost every clan has soldiers, but there is one is the same, that is brave - this cavalry army is not the product of the government military system, but Li He under the banner of the border army to recruit soldiers, in addition to the government military system should have land, but also have money to take, although the monthly consistent money is not much, but for the poor, but enough to feed a large family, The self-proclaimed warriors of all ethnic groups are naturally eager to recruit a battalion of soldiers, but the result has been expanded to three battalions, as for the training, it is strictly in accordance with the "Law of War", although the strength is not much, but the combat effectiveness is amazingly high, this collective acceleration under the real has a devastating spirit!

"Array, array!"

Seeing that the smoke and dust in the north were approaching from a distance, Hertzzan didn't dare to slack off, he kept roaring at the top of his throat, commanding a group of subordinates to arrange the formation, and after a long period of work, he finally put up a formation to meet the attack - two thousand cavalry on each wing, Hertzzan led two thousand elite iron cavalry as the Chinese army, as for the three thousand tribal army in Ninggusdu, Hertzzan couldn't look at it at all, and sent it to the rear as a reserve to use.

"The whole army obeys the order: change horses!"

Li He's eyes were very good, and he saw the Tusa coalition army that was arranging troops from afar, and he had already estimated the general strength of the other party at a glance, but he was not afraid, and roared, and his body was longitudinal, and the person had already crossed an empty horse running on the side, and the officers and soldiers who followed closely saw this, they did not dare to slack off, and they jumped one after another, and without counting, they had completed the most difficult technical action in the cavalry subject.

"Raise your sword!"

Li He didn't look back, just listening to the sound, he knew that all his subordinates had completed the action of changing horses, and immediately pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, compared it forward, and shouted loudly.

"Huh!"

As soon as Li He's words fell, after hearing an incomparably neat sound, the three thousand cavalry showed their horizontal swords almost at the same time, and the three thousand snow-bright blades stood up like a forest, flashing into a sea of cold light in the sun.

"Today's battle, there is no advance or retreat, kill all the thieves, defend my Tang Dynasty, and sing with a certain person: You don't see the end of the Han army, and the weak crown is a captive and please ......"

The sword forest was square, Li He immediately shouted, and the leader sang "From the Army", and a group of soldiers also sang loudly, the mighty and majestic singing reverberated back and forth over the battlefield, and the already high morale of the Tang cavalry army instantly rose to the peak.

"Attack! Sortie! The whole army presses on! ”

**When the singing in the formation started, Hertzzan originally didn't think so, pouted his lips disdainfully, and planned to wait for ** to stop and set up the formation with all his might, and hit ** by surprise, but he never expected ** not to set up the formation, so he rushed over with the billowing smoke and dust, and his eyes were round, and he roared angrily - the most critical thing in cavalry warfare is speed, and the cavalry without speed is just some meat targets, and it can't be used at all, if it is really ** just rushed into the formation, No matter how many people and horses there are in the Tusa coalition army, they have to be finished immediately, Hertzzan's previous refusal to withdraw the infantry is a big trick, and now it was taken by the ** cavalry, and it is a flaw that cannot be ignored.

"Woo, woo......"

As soon as he heard Hertzzan roaring so anxiously, the trumpeter who followed him didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly grabbed the horn, but blew it vigorously, and in an instant, the Tubo army that was originally standing still shot out in three directions, forming a semi-encirclement with great momentum, and covering the past towards the ** cavalry.

Cavalry hedging, there are many factors of victory and defeat, morale, tactical literacy and even the quality of weapons and equipment are one of the key points, however, really in a large-scale head-to-head duel, the choice of formation is undoubtedly one of the most decisive links, at this time, both sides of the charge have been launched, from the sky down, you can clearly see that the use of the strongest assault force of the triangle formation, the point of this formation is that the penetration is very strong, can easily tear through the enemy's thick defense line, often used for trapping, but there is a fatal weakness, That is, the two wings are weak, once attacked, the entire formation will fall into a state of collapse, therefore, the general of the unified army at the same time as this formation, often send troops to cover the two wings of the cavalry formation, this is the basic common sense of the cavalry generals, Li He will not understand, but he has no choice, if you want to quickly penetrate the enemy's army, only this formation, he bet on the reaction speed of the Tubo cavalry, obviously, he bet on the right - Hertzzan's choice of three-way combined attack tactics is indeed a good strategy to break Li Hebu, but ** first, It takes time for the Tibetan cavalry to turn from extremely quiet to full force, although this time does not take very long, but for the battlefield situation at this time, it is a very fatal flaw - unless the Tibetan Chinese army can block the breakthrough of the ** cavalry, otherwise, the cavalry on both wings will not be able to return to their positions in time at all.

"Assault!"

"Assault!"

The distance of more than 130 steps seems not to be short, but for the cavalry who are hedging with all their strength, it is only a blink of an eye, and when the two armies are less than 30 steps apart, the two main generals almost broke off at the same time, and in an instant, the two cavalry began the final acceleration almost at the same time, tens of thousands of horses' hooves kicked the earth, the thunderous hooves were deafening, and the murderous spirit was condensed in this smoke and dust as if it were substance, and the moment of death came!
