The cavalry of the Khitan, Jin, Xi, and Murwei Sihu tribes, like the tide, whistling and rolling and pressing, the hooves of the horses all over the field were like thunder, the long knives were shining, and the white suede jackets were flying all over the field, and the yellow-brown fluttering curls, with the nomadic fishing and hunting people's temperament, screaming and shouting to kill. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Mai Tiezhu personally led the troops to rush and kill, and had a head-on battle with the cavalry of the Hu tribe outside the Guanwai.

At this moment, the sound of cavalry charging and killing shook the field, like a landslide and a crack.

"Puff puff—"

The column of blood was sprayed, the head rolled, and some people were pierced by a spear, and the whole person was knocked upside down and flew out, screaming in the air and dying.

There were also soldiers who were injured and landed, but they were quickly drowned by the dense hooves of the horses, and they were directly trampled into a blur of flesh and blood.

The cavalry on both sides had their own formations, but after approaching, the confrontation fell into a fierce battle, meshing each other, weakening the rear formation, and the speed impact of the war horses had little effect.

Gao Shengtan sent spies, and when he learned that Luo Cheng's army was two miles away, his heart moved, and he ordered the whole army to press, if they could surround this cavalry and completely annihilate it, then the twenty or thirty thousand Sui troops behind them were not their opponents at all.

"The infantry phalanx presses down!"

The two generals, Gao Panlong and Gao Panhu, were the two brave tiger generals selected by Gao Shengtan among the descendants of the Gao family, and were responsible for leading 15,000 soldiers and horses to outflank each of them, and Gao Shengtan's Chinese army of 20,000 people advanced forward to swallow up the more than 20,000 cavalry of the Sui army.

For example, the cavalry at the rear, which had not yet been engaged, would be the first to withdraw and gather into a new formation half a mile away, and then when the hasty cavalry on the front line withdrew, they would rush forward and block the pursuing cavalry.

After repeating this three times, the Sui army had withdrawn to Luo Zhaoyun's infantry phalanx and joined up with the commander's thousands of elite cavalry.

At this time, the cavalry of the Hu tribe rushed to kill, and they were all excited, thinking that they had suppressed each other and beat the Sui cavalry to the ground.

"Kill—"

"Kill all the Sui army—"

The Hu knights roared all over the field, scattered and fighting, and no formation was gone.

At this moment, on both sides of the Sui army's formation, the sound of copper drums roared three times, and I saw that several shallow trenches in width and width suddenly stood up in several shallow trenches, it turned out that the trenches had been dug here a long time ago, covered with blades of grass, and the crossbow archers hid inside, so that the scouts of the Northern Qi army did not find out.

With a neat shout: "Put-"

I saw thousands of red arrow shafts swooping out in a sharp whistle, such a wave of it, but four red arrows, one shot, immediately crouched on the arrow crossbow, the second one stood up and shot out, and so on, four strong crossbows took turns to shoot volleys, and it was a rain of arrows that continued to roar, pouring out in one breath without interruption.

Two sides were added to the front, and at the same time they shot at the Hu cavalry formation, and they shot on three sides, which immediately made the cavalry of the Hu tribe of the four Fanbang suffer a lot, and the people turned over on their backs, and the momentum of the charge was suppressed in an instant.

"Woohoo!"

The arrows broke through the air, like a layer of black raindrops pouring down, and each round of arrows made at least hundreds of knights fall to the ground, and the casualties were not small.

These cavalry of the Hu tribe did not have iron armor or shields, they wore leather armor, and some of them were even half-bare-armed, and their defense was not enough, so in the face of the direct shooting crossbow machine in the Central Plains, they were fast, ruthless, and quite passive.

Even if they take off their bows and arrows to counterattack, the Hu knights' archery skills are solid, but they only use the power of the arm and bow to shoot arrows, seventy or eighty steps away into a flying state, but also manpower to lead the bow and arrows, there is a certain interval in archery, because the archers on three sides are too scattered, they shoot arrows on horseback, shooting relatively hidden and scattered ambush crossbowmen, it is indeed a little difficult.

Sudden sharp long arrows, like a storm of continuous killing, let your horse's head and body, all of them be pierced and killed, and even people and horses nailed together and fell to the ground, crossbow arrows are powerful.

The Khitan, Yao, and Xi cavalry had to stop, temporarily retreated, stopped the momentum of continuing to charge, and waited for reinforcements from the Northern Qi army behind.

Because the Northern Qi army had nearly 10,000 archers, they could shoot at each other to cover the cavalry charge.

Gao Shengtan held a pure iron elongated horse lance, he used to be a monk, in the temple to learn martial arts, although not Shaolin Mountain authentic, but Shaolin spread to the major temples branch stunts, he still practiced some hard.

Arhat Gong, the Great Vedic Pestle, the Demon Marksmanship, etc., have been practiced, soft in the horse lance, can be stabbed and split, and the power is great.

"Luo Cheng, dare to fight before the battle, and kill you on the spot." Gao Shengtan was wearing golden armor, majestic, and at this time he had taken out a golden mask from the horse's backpack, and he wanted to follow the example of Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, the god of war in the Northern Qi Dynasty, wearing a mask and leading soldiers like a god.

Luo Zhaoyun was in the distance, staring at Gao Shengtan and the Northern Qi army formation a hundred steps away, smiling coldly, and they all entered his calculations, what happened next would be a bloody battle.

In the face of absolute strength, the role that intrigue and trickery can play varies from time to time, and in many cases, the key to using the art of war and conspiracy is to combine it with its own combat strength, otherwise, the army is weak, and no matter what strategy is used, it will not be able to defeat the enemy.

"Beat the drums and trumpets, prepare to crush the rebels—"

"Suppress the rebels!" The momentum of the Sui army is like a rainbow, and under the command of Marshal Luo, there is a sense of blind worship, because of the past achievements, so that the soldiers are confident, and they feel that this time they can still win more with less, so no matter whether they are recruits or veterans, there is no fear of fear.

"Woo-goo-goo-"

A red banner with the word "Luo" waved rapidly, the war drums rumbled tightly, and the cavalry of the front army after regrouping, under the command of Mai Tiezhu and other generals, spread out a cone-shaped formation, and the sound of killing shook the world and rushed into the mixed cavalry group of the Hu and Northern Qi armies.

Seeing this, Gao Shengtan immediately shouted: "Attack from both sides and insert into the infantry phalanx of the Sui army." ”

He deliberately sent the left and right wings to kill from both sides of the battlefield where the cavalry charged, and directly attacked both sides of the Sui army, and then Gao Shengtan led 2,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry from the front to advance, to pass through the cavalry battlefield and attack the phalanx of the Sui army from the front.

"Prepare for battle!"

Luo Zhaoyun was not in a hurry, his expression was calm and calm, when he gave the military order, the phalanx of the foot soldiers also rumbled, slowly stepping forward, this is the preparation for the battle, like a mountain moving forward, slowly moving forward, condensing murderous aura.

"Order, Xikou troops!"

The herald unleashed an arrow and blew a special trombone.

A thousand elite cavalry lurking in the direction of the west entrance heard the order, immediately went out to fight, rushed out from the valley mouth, the sound was mighty, the smoke and dust were billowing, and from the side it was just inserted into the right wing of the infantry of the Northern Qi Army, and the soldiers of the Northern Qi Restoration Army were stunned, and found that the Sui army had already ambushed soldiers, and the morale was suddenly affected.
