14. The wolf fire shines on the black water

"Do you want to ignite the wolf fire of battle?" Yonehara asked.

Gao Yue bowed, "Our army has come from a long distance, but we want to fight with the main force of the rebels, otherwise the dry food and forage will run out, and we will not be able to seek food in the field, and the situation will be dangerous." ”

"Do you want to wait for reinforcements from the north and west routes?" Another Yu Hou asked.

"No need, this rebel cavalry must not be allowed to pass through Qiwu Mountain, otherwise they will scatter into the desert, and then go out to copy our army's grain road, they will miss a major event, as long as they can seize the boundary between Qiwu Mountain and Baichengzi, the enemy will be lost, and the advantage will be in our hands, and the rebels can only sit and die and fight!" Gao Yue made a quick decision.

At this time, Si Bo Daye, who was standing behind the temple pillar, with only one braid on his bare head, held a Xi knife in his hand, and was full of thoughts: "When will I be as powerful as this Tang family Gaoyue, no, I can't survive under the Tang family's camp for a long time, I have to get a glimpse of the secret of the divine thunder gunpowder as soon as possible, and then I will go away from the desert, and sooner or later rejuvenate the glory of my medicine Si clan......"

Soon, more than 10,000 cavalry of the Tang Army, who had set up a formation against the high mountains and black water, heard the sound of the big drum from the temple of Helian Bobo, and when they looked back, the black and white Pixiu banner had been raised on the top of the mountain.

This is a signal to fight.

At the forefront of the cavalry scouts were 200 soldiers of the Dingwu Army's ranger battalion, their horses were scattered widely, led by the cavalry generals Zhu Bo and Shatong, who were the eyes of the whole team at the front.

In the desert wilderness, this group of rangers soon saw an endless army of rebel cavalry, erecting apricot-yellow flags, mixed with a large number of cattle, sheep and camels, rushing towards the Qiwu Mountain occupied by their side.

Of course, it was the Xia cavalry that the Tang army was "rebellious", they were led by Prince Nixiang, and there were two young "princes" in it, Yuan Long and Yuan Sheng.

The prince of Nixiang didn't expect that they had walked less than sixty miles out of the city, and they actually saw countless Tang cavalry appear at the foot of Qiwu Mountain.

In the wind, the wolf fire on Qiwu Mountain flew, illuminating the foothills of the forest, and the smoke swirled above the black water.

Then the speed of the smoke flying faster and faster, like a black ribbon, up and down, was pulled and torn into countless silk threads - the dark clouds on Qiwu Mountain began to roll together, the wind became stronger and stronger, and in the sound of drums, the Tang army cavalry in various colors and armor, one by one, layer upon layer, densely pressed next to each other, horses' hooves trotting, began to continue to press towards their own formation.

It was a battle without warning!

"Quickly let the two princes return to Wancheng." Prince Mud was still sober before the battle, and immediately shouted to the guards beside him.

"If the rebel is in front, he will come forward and fight; If the rebels retreat, they will pursue them quickly. "At the Helian Temple, Gao Yue, who ascended to the top to supervise the battle, gave such an order.

The migratory rat next to him also widened his eyes nervously.

Just when the cavalry team of the Xia people escorting the vehicles of the two princes began to break away from the main cavalry team of Prince Nixiang in the opposite direction, Yuan Hui climbed on the corner tower of Tongwan City, and was asking the team in the city to open the "Pingshuo Gate" in the north and rush to rescue Prince Nixiang.

When the cavalry of the Tang Army crossed the black water, they re-dressed themselves and lined up with their backs to rely on Qiwu Mountain, so they were more fully prepared:

The general of the Yining Army, Fuyu Huai, supervised the three battalions of hussars, light cavalry, and war cavalry, and lived on the left flank; Ming Huaiyi, the general of the Dingwu Army, supervised the three battalions of cavalry, assault cavalry, and rangers on the right flank; The two wings formed horns with each other, and in the center were 4,000 familiar Qiang Yicong cavalry, which were divided by Quite Chao Yimo and Sibo Oye.

At the same time, Gao Yue also ordered Ye Shiliang Bi to lead the remaining 2,000 Qiang Yi to set up an ambush in the woodland in the southwest corner of Qiwu Mountain.

Therefore, in the Helian Temple, there are only more than 20 Sanya personnel below Gao Yue, who are commanding with drums and horns and battle flags.

"Bang", a crisp cannon sounded.

Then came the sound of cannonballs.

When the cavalry formation of the Tang army advanced to a distance of about 200 paces from the prince of Nixiang, it took the lead in carrying out artillery attacks.

The cannon is a light tiger cannon weighing one stone, with a total of twelve, which was carried by camels in the Tang army and brought all the way.

At this moment, a herd of camels obediently lay on the grass, the cannon was set up between the two humps, the gunner stayed behind the camel to control, they put the gun into the belly of the mother cannon, with a wooden support against it, stuffed into the projectile and the cannon, then ignited the twist, so the muzzle of the cannon quickly shaken, burst out of a puff of green smoke, with the flickering of the firelight, the projectile dragged the smoke, and flew into the front of the Xia cavalry in turn, immediately many Xia cavalry were knocked to the ground, and the horses that constantly lost their masters fled in the smoke.

As soon as the shot is finished, the hot and smoking sub-gun is taken out, and Gollum is thrown aside, and then the other one is stuffed into the other and continues to fire.

I saw that in the camel encirclement, the artillery fire was fierce and fierce, the fire was constantly flashing, and the smoke of gunpowder was rising one after another.

The army under Gao Yue's rule, whether it was cavalry or infantry, had an extremely serious lack of firepower, so even if the cavalry ran for hundreds of miles, they had to carry light artillery, and they should first prepare for firepower when the war started.

It happened to be the direction of the tailwind, and in the overwhelming shouts of killing and the sound of horses' hooves, the familiar Qiang cavalry in the center of the Tang Army took the lead in pulling up the bowstring, or raised the scimitar in their hands, and launched a surprise attack on the Xia cavalry in front of them after the shelling stopped.

The scolding of the party's local dialect was everywhere, and the Xia people scolded angrily in front of them, this group of so-called familiar Qiang righteous servants who were the forerunners of the Tang army were still on a par with them a year ago against the Tang Dynasty Liufu and Lishi Dangxiang, but now they turned the horse's head and killed the siblings of the same species.

However, Shuqiang killed the Xia people, and he was even more ruthless than the Tang people.

Countless cavalry shuttled by, arrows and swords densely intertwined, and corpses fell from the saddle with a dull sound, which was soon muffled by the earth-shattering sound of hooves.

The central fronts of the two sides are violently intersecting and staggering.

The two wings of the Tang cavalry are like stretched horns or goose wings at this moment, galloping, trying to encompass the ranks of the Xia people.

The Xia cavalry also moved their wings and fought forward.

However, as soon as they came into contact, Xia only noticed that the cavalry battalion headed by the Yining Army and the trap cavalry camp headed by the Dingwu Army were one, with people wearing mole armor, horses wearing horse armor, knights wearing iron helmets, silk robes on the outside, and cotton clothes lining, only revealing a pair of eyes, invincible, although the Xia people's arrows flew one after another, they could not hurt them in the slightest.

Wait until within ten paces, the cavalry battalion and the trap cavalry battalion begin to draw the bow and arrow, the arrow is in the shape of a sharp thick needle, the summer cavalry has no armor, the arrow is often hit through the skull, or through the back, and dies instantly; The cavalry of the other two battalions took the opportunity to cover up with horse lances, maces, and swords, dispersed the cavalry on both flanks of the Xia people, and began to close and outflank the central core.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the prince of mud incense put down the apricot yellow banner in the formation and asked all the Xia people to break through in all directions and give full play to the advantages of their light cavalry.

The Xia people began to flee, and the Tang cavalry followed them, galloping left and right, shooting the Xia people from behind one by one.

Seeing countless Xia people turned into corpses, fallen under the iron hooves of the Tang army, scattered in the wilderness of Qiwu Mountain, the migrants who watched the battle in Helian Temple couldn't help but have a look of sadness and pity, crossed their hands together, and kept shouting the mercy of the emperor.
