Chapter 408: The Trapped Beast is still fighting

On the snow, craters are densely arranged. The force of the explosion tossed over the crater's crust on all sides, revealing dark dirt. In the white snow, it is particularly eye-catching.

Looking at Xue Yantuo's soldiers who fled out in a hurry, Li Ji's eyes were cold, and he waved his big hand: "The cavalry is circling on both wings, and the foot soldiers are pursuing forward!" ”

The army moved slowly, and Ouroboros pursued.

The craters and corpses on the ground were a bit of an obstacle to the movement of the foot soldiers, and before they had gone far, the formation had already fallen apart. Faced with this situation, Li Ji frowned slightly, but he didn't care, but continued to move towards the soldiers.

Finally, after walking over to the battlefield and entering the flat ground, the soldiers consciously lined up in a neat formation.

After a slightly undulating mountain beam, a dense figure suddenly appeared in front of him, but it was the Xue Yantuo people who lined up here to fight.

"Okay, I didn't expect this Yi man to have the courage to continue fighting with the old man!" As soon as he saw the Xue Yantuo army, Li Ji couldn't help but sneer.

At this time, I saw that in the middle of Xue Yantuo's military formation, a knight flashed out and went straight to the Tang army's military formation. When he came to a place ten zhang away from the military formation, the knight shouted loudly: "My Khan said that you Tang people rely on firearms to be sharp and show off your might. If it's a man, don't rely on those firearms, fight with real knives and guns! ”

When Li Ji heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "My Datang firearms are sharp, that's my Datang's business!" Could it be that General Ben still has to give up his firearms and fight against your Khan? This war is no child's play! Speaking of this, Li Ji changed his words, "However, since your Khan has made a request, the old man will not use firearms and fight with you with real knives and guns!" ”

Hearing Li Ji say this, the Xue Yantuo knight was immediately overjoyed, turned around and flew back to his phalanx.

And the generals of the Tang Army rolled their eyes in unison, this big manager is too good at blowing, obviously mortars and artillery have not yet arrived, but he made a look of sympathy, and had a real battle with the other party. Thinking of this, some generals suddenly realized, no wonder they are generals and managers, look at this face, it is really a model for them to learn!

At this time, I saw that the soldiers of Xue Yantuo on the opposite side took out their bows and arrows again, preparing to cover the Tang army with a rain of arrows. And Tang Jun also took out a big bow here, ready to return the color.

Almost at the same time, men and horses on both sides set up arrows, raised bows, and released arrows.

I could only hear the sound of a bowstring, and countless feathered arrows flew out at the same time, shooting towards the opponent's military formation. The dense feather arrows met in the air, and the arrows and arrows collided together, making a "clanging" sound, like a drizzle of bamboo. Then, the arrows fell to the ground at the same time.

In such a burst of fire, a third of the arrows fell from the sky. When the remaining arrows flew to the Tang army's side, I saw that the rain of arrows was inserted on the soldiers' armor, but it was very shallow, and some of them didn't even go at all, and they hit the armor and fell to the ground. So the losses are not very large. Only those soldiers who were unlucky enough to be shot by feathered arrows and were exposed were wounded by arrows and could not continue the fight.

And Xue Yantuo doesn't have such armor as Tang Jun on his side. The feather arrow fell, penetrating deep into the soldier's body, and even nailed the soldier to the ground.

Faced with such a situation, Yi Nan sighed lightly and ordered: "The whole army is raided!" Melee combat with the Don Army! The cavalry charged, disrupting the formation of the Tang army, and the foot soldiers followed, fighting hard! ”

As soon as this order was given, the Xue Yantuo cavalry slowly came out of the ranks, let out a roar of "oh oh" from their mouths, and rushed towards the Tang army, and the speed gradually increased. And the foot soldiers also abandoned the formation, shouted "kill-" in their mouths, and followed the cavalry to charge towards the Tang army one by one.

Xue Yantuo's cavalry slowly walked two steps, and then he hit the horse's buttocks violently, and the horse was in pain and galloped with all his might. This is not the time to take care of the horses.

In the face of the charging Xue Yantuo soldiers, the Tang army still calmly took the arrow and drew the bow, shooting one feather arrow after another.

Xue Yantuo's soldiers, who were charging with all their might, were shot to the ground from time to time by feathered arrows falling from the sky, and were immediately stepped on by Xue Yantuo's knights who rushed up from behind.

After shooting two rounds of arrows, Xue Yantuo's cavalry was only less than five zhang away from the Tang army. The Tang sergeant put aside the bow and arrow in his hand, picked up a horizontal knife or a long lance, and prepared to fight a hand-to-hand battle with Xue Yantuo.

The distance of five zhang was instantaneous, and Xue Yantuo's cavalry slammed into the Tang army's military formation.

Then, after the aftermath of the charge, the vanguard of Xue Yantuo's cavalry rushed into the Tang army's formation. As long as the cavalry behind followed one after another and completely dispersed the Tang army's formation, it would be much easier for the infantry behind to deal with the Tang army.

This is exactly what Yi Nan intended.

However, when the cavalry stormed the Tang army's formation, he found that things were far from what he imagined. Although Xue Yantuo's cavalry rushed into the Tang army's army formation at the beginning, the entire Tang army's army formation was extremely tenacious, and the military formation that had been broken out of a big gap was simply filled by the Tang army's human life.

By the time Xue Yantuo's foot soldiers came up, the Tang army's military formation was still not scattered in the slightest.

Just when Yi Nan was about to lead the cavalry around the Tang army's foot soldiers and outflank the Tang army's two wings, he suddenly heard a shocking shout of killing from behind him. Looking back in a hurry, he saw that Tang was riding in front and the Turkic cavalry was behind, and these cavalry were outflanked to his rear. Yi Nan's heart couldn't help but chill.

These cavalry from behind Xue Yantuo's army were the Tang cavalry and Turkic cavalry. Nearly 20,000 cavalry came out from behind and pounced on Xue Yantuo's footmen.

Seeing that the situation was extremely unfavorable for him, Yi Nan stood on his horse and shouted loudly in Turkic. As soon as he heard this roar, he saw that Xue Yantuo's face was full of grief and indignation. They looked at the Tang army, let out a desolate howl in unison, and rushed towards the Tang army's formation one by one as if they were not dying.

Li Ji also heard Yi Nan's roar. He has been in Taiyuan for a long time, guarding the northern frontier, and he can understand Turkic dialect a little. The Yi man roared: "The Han people want to kill us all, for the sake of their wives and children, kill us!" ”

So, these soldiers were like chickens, and they all fought for their lives.

Facing these desperate Xue Yantuo soldiers, Li Ji knew that he couldn't be soft now, so he waved his long sword at the moment: "Soldiers, swear to kill the enemy!" ”

The two armies of more than 100,000 people fought in the north of this vast Dingxiang city.

The battle lasted from noon until dawn. People keep falling. At the beginning, the Tang army was still holding the formation, killing and wounding a large number of Xue Yantuo people, but in the back, the Tang soldiers began to get tired, and the formation gradually dispersed, and finally evolved into a big melee.

In this area, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the murderous aura soared into the sky.

In the end, the Tang army occupied the advantage of equipment and geographical advantages, and after two hours of melee, Yi Nan finally couldn't help it and ordered to break through to the north.

Of course, it was only the soldiers and those cavalry around Yi Nan who broke through. As for the foot soldiers, if they want to break through, it is simply impossible, so leave them here to hold back the pace of the Tang army!

At that moment, Yi Nan led thousands of cavalry and desperately broke through to the north.

Because the battlefield was extremely chaotic, Li Ji didn't see any trace of the Yi Nan breaking through. On the contrary, it was a lieutenant general who saw the cavalry that broke through, and immediately led more than a thousand horsemen to pursue it.

When the Zhonglang general was gone, Li Ji saw their traces, and his heart moved, so that the soldiers who knew Turkic shouted in Turkic dialect: "Your Great Khan has run away!" ”

It worked. Those Xue Yantuo soldiers who were fighting couldn't help but be stunned, and then subconsciously glanced around, and really didn't find their sweat. In an instant, there was no fighting spirit.

Looking at these soldiers who had no fighting spirit, Li Ji knew that there was no suspense in this battle.
