19. Iron horses are like a crowd

On the slope of the hill west of the trap, Gao Yue pointed his finger: "If the enemy advances with brute cards, our army will face it with a long sword; If the enemy is in front with a long hammer, our army will disrupt it with cannons; Then with heavy armor warriors, the ring will engage in battles and consume the enemy's fighting spirit and physical strength. ”

At this moment, the sun is slowly rising, the battlefield of the entire trap pond is more than ten miles longitudinal and horizontal, surrounded on all sides by the peaks and streams that are closed like city walls, the Tang army is 10,000 thousands, divided into left, middle and right, and the formation of the horns of the column to resist the battle; There are 40,000 barbarians in the Yellow Cave, which are divided into three formations, each of which is half a mile apart, and the scouts are used to deliver the news of the boss.

The soldiers of the Wu Yi Army, wearing chain armor and black cotton robes, looked like dark clouds.

The first formation of the Yellow Cave Barbarians was full of elite battles, holding dense and hard brute cards (rattan shields), followed by countless long hammers and shuttle darts, unified with ochre-red guibu robes, short and flexible, with hideous faces, looking like red flames.

At the back of the cave barbarian's formation, Huang Shaoqing ordered the sons and daughters of the kings to shout and hang the exquisite big bronze drums, and then beat them with drumsticks made of gold and silver.

"Du You's pursuers are afraid that they are behind me, this battle has no advance or retreat, there is no enemy and no me, kill all the Tang soldiers in front of me, retake Kunlun Pass, retake Yongguan City!"

Then Huang Shaoqing's roar was muffled by the roar of the tiger cannon at the front of the Tang army's position.

Wu Yijun's divine thunder gunners, according to the staggered checkerboard position, a group of four, lined up in an "extreme rapid-fire" formation: one person half knelt in front of the short boring, held the gun to fire, one person delivered the new gun behind him, one person used a cane to clean the fired fire gun chamber, and one person charged the projectile, four people had a total of three fire guns, two of which were loaded and fired in turn, and one was on the side for backup.

On the opposite line, Wu Yi's various armies had hundreds of firearms in turn to fire quickly, and the fireworks at the mouth of the guns were first a little bit, and then the thunderclap became more and more intense, and the fireworks were connected into smoke, diffusing and surging.

The cave barbarian soldiers who walked forward with long hammers in their hands were hit by the projectiles of the water-splashed tiger cannons and the divine thunderbolts, the sharp wedges were knocked away, the long rods were broken, the bodies were hit and rolled backwards, the dead and wounded splattered blood, and the green smoke of lead pellets fell, and the rest gritted their teeth and continued to advance with difficulty.

Within twenty or thirty steps, the barbarians behind shouted and threw the shuttle dart in their hands, and the shuttle dart covered the air in an instant, and the tail made of green feathers rowed countless afterimages, accompanied by countless poisonous copper clusters, drilled into the fog of gunpowder, and in the hands of the god thunder gun in leather armor, there were flowers of blood: most of the people were injured, and after losing their combat effectiveness, they automatically abandoned the fire gun, crawled to the grass behind and bowed low, and used the antidote pill to save themselves: the shuttle darts and arrow clusters of the slang people were smeared with poison, However, Gao Yue had obtained the antidote from Liu Yan, who was the envoy of Guiguan at that time, and the doctors who concentrated Weiyang on a large scale before the expedition made it, and now it can be regarded as handy.

The other gunners took over, still maintaining a rapid fire.

But this is just a round, the gun quickly retreated, and the long guards in the rear of Wu Yijun were all leveled and moved forward.

The long hammers of the barbarian soldiers and the long hammers of the Tang soldiers, on the battle line with a cross-section of several miles, bite and twist, and stab each other.

Gao Yue, who was supervising the battle in the rear, saw that many of the leaders of the small flags waving on the front line were young martial arts students, who were very brave, but the casualties were also very large.

Half an hour later, the battle line of the two armies loosened slightly, like a sea of ebbed tide on both sides, revealing a long, narrow land.

At this moment, the leader of the front team of the Tang Army has suffered nearly half of the casualties, and many of the teams have been replaced by team leaders.

But it is precisely because of this that the battle line of the Tang Army is like an iron wall, and there is no sign of loosening.

And the brute soldiers with no armor or light armor suffered heavier casualties when they fought and stabbed, and the ground was covered with withered crimson, which was the color of the corpse's battle robes.

Then, Wu Yijun and Huang Dongman clashed for five or six rounds, and the formation still showed no signs of slackening.

The head of the team died in battle, the team leader took over, the team team died in battle, and the flag head took over......

Under the big drum, Huang Shaoqing heard with his own ears that the drum had been beaten for five rounds, and the strength of the children began to fail.

The first group of barbarians was full of casualties, but they still could not break through the battle line of the Tang army.

Far away, the Tang army used fire guns and tiger cannons.

After approaching, the Tang army responded with long and palladium.

Slowly, Huang Shaoqing began to be impatient, he thought that he could use the second formation to replace the first formation, because the casualties of the first formation were too great, and he lost the ability to continue the impact, and he also said to the pro-soldiers who gave the order: "Change the rattan card first, and the rest will follow in one breath and crush the Tang soldiers." ”

On the hill on the west side of the pond, Gao Yue took the reins of Da Li Xue, and said to Zhou Ziping on his side very calmly:

"Ziping, it seems that the front of the barbarians is exhausted, they are likely to have to take over, when the formation of the barbarians is chaotic, it is the time for our army to attack, don't hesitate."

So Zhou Ziping hurriedly clenched his fists and took his life.

Gao Yue immediately arranged: "Let all the tigers on the front line and immediately stuff the shotguns, and the first artillery of the left army will take the lead in firing the cannon when they see the flicking of their own cloak, and the rest of the artillery positions will immediately fire a salvo." In addition, Ming Huaiyi, Mi Yuan, and Fuyu Huai were called to lead the cavalry of the three armies, and they formed a group under this hill, and they also took the flicking of the cloak of the road as a letter, and galloped out together! ”

Sure enough, Gao Yue, as Huang Changchu expected, put into the "killer feature" of the cavalry general charge at a critical moment.

A burst of orders and whistles, and then accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, the cavalry who were originally on standby behind the hill began to trot to the hill in groups, converging into a long horizontal formation, and the iron cavalry of the left, middle and right armies were all here: the cavalry's horses were all covered with door curtain armor, chicken neck armor and cuirass, the horses' hooves were wrapped with the shoes, and some of the horse's heads erected a single snow-white feather, and some were decorated with pheasant feathers of various colors, like a small finch screen, and the warriors were also covered with armor, holding various colors or sharp, or heavy murder weapons, all silent, their eyes fixed on the guard on the post.

All the cavalry knew that once they were given the order to be ready to fight, it was a sign that the whole battle had reached the point of victory.

Therefore, everyone held the mentality that this battle was the last battle in this life, gathered under the banner of Wei Guogong, and then launched a charge.

I saw that Wei Guogong didn't speak, untied his pure white coat and tied it to the long lance hook and loop stretched out by Zhou Ziping.

And the tiger guns in front have also received orders to prepare salvo shots.

Especially on the far left side of the left army, the so-called "first gun" gunners were even more nervous, a stone heavy cannon, three gunners, one was killed in battle, and one was wounded, but now they could not get out of the line of fire.

The two of them immediately put a pre-filled gunpowder into the belly of the mother gun, tightened the ball at the end of the gun, and then stuffed twenty-six shotguns into the muzzle, and finally stuffed a cannon pellet to plug it firmly, and then blew the ignition cord on the pole in their hands.

And after the big formation of the Yellow Cave Man over there, the sound of the copper drum sounded again......
