Text Chapter 571 Collapse with one blow

When Songpa Xindan heard the report of the Tibetans guarding the city, he immediately came to the head of the eastern city, and when he saw that there were only 500 cavalry outside the city, he unconsciously opened his mouth and scolded: "Dog slave, 500 people want to show off their strength in front of the Tibetans?" ”

He immediately sent orders to the Tibetans in the city, and all the strong men, with their own weapons, were concentrated in the eastern city, and he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the enemy's main force in the northwest to teach the invaders outside the city a lesson, at least so that they could not underestimate the Tibetans.

After a while, the Tibetan strong men in the city, according to the instructions of Songpa Xindan, all came to the east of the city with weapons, because they were in a state of preparation for war all the year round, and each of them had a special scimitar, except for the leather armor, it looked quite neat.

The Tibetans have always been brave and fierce, and they have been trained in battles with the Mongols, and they are even more fearless of death, and even women and children will follow the strong men and pick up scimitars to fight the Mongols.

Somba Xindan glanced at the crowd in front of him, and his heart was more confident, he waved his hand, and the defenders at the city gate slowly opened the heavy city gate.

Wang Peng was originally just putting on a show, and he was idle anyway, but he didn't expect the Tibetans to dare to go out of the city to face the battle, since the Tibetans didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and dared to go out of the city to die, he would naturally laugh and accept it, this was an opportunity given to him by God.

He immediately ordered his soldiers to quickly line up in battle formation.

In the arrow formation, Wang Peng personally took the lead, acting as the sharpest arrow of the arrow, five hundred cavalry, divided into two columns, jointly owning his arrow, five hundred household officials, mixed in the group of soldiers, the Mongol cavalry fought, and the officers always rushed to the front!

The Tibetans left the city one after another and were lining up outside the city.

"Lord Baihu Guan, we are ready to fight, and the formation of the Tibetans is undecided, do you want to take the opportunity to kill the past and decide on a battle?"

Wang Peng squinted his eyes, as calm as an adult, glanced at the other side, and there was a trace of disdain on his cold face, "Don't worry, they are just infantry, when they are lined up in formation, they can also be broken, and after they will cut through the enemy soldiers, the two wings will split to the left and right, first completely cut the enemy army, and then slaughter!" ”

"Yes, Lord Baihuguan!" The Baihu official was originally a veteran of Wang Junzhuo, who had participated in the battle of Helan Mansion, and when he saw that Wang Peng was really meritorious, he said: "Are we going to tell the Metropolitan Governor?" ”

Wang Peng then remembered that since the Metropolitan Governor was here, he was the supreme commander of the battlefield, and although he hoped to lead the battle alone, he did not dare to carry the Metropolitan Governor to a decisive battle with the main force of the Tibetans, so he said: "You take a cavalryman, go to the east of the city quickly, inform the Metropolitan Governor, and say that the Tibetans are going out of the city for a decisive battle!" ”

Songba Xindan listed a square formation outside the city, the archers were outside, and the inside was the sword soldiers, which could not only attack, but also rely on arrows to defend when the battle was unfavorable, and behind the square array, there were still dozens of horses, and the troops that could be mobilized in the city were almost all here.

But he forgot that, in addition to the Tibetans, there were still many Mongols in the city, and they were watching the battle at the head of the city.

At present, they temporarily put aside their grievances with the Tibetans, protect themselves, and protect the city, which is the best policy, Zagad stood at the head of the city with a gloomy face, but secretly prayed to the Buddha in his heart.

Wang Peng estimated that the Tibetans were arrayed about a mile in front of them, and the war horses rushed here, and the speed could not be increased to the maximum, and it seemed that each person could only put one arrow!

He drew his scimitar, slashed it into the sky, and shouted: "Warriors, at a distance of fifty paces, each person can only put one arrow, and then draw the knife and cut the enemy first!" ”

This is the first time Wang Peng has appeared on the battlefield, and he is the supreme commander of the wolf cavalry, his heart is both excited and full of hope, if he can defeat the Tibetans with more people outside the city, the metropolitan governor will definitely trust him, maybe the identity of this temporary hundred household officials...... No, maybe you can become an official Qianhu official.

Within the wolf cavalry, the Qianhu official is second only to his father's high-ranking official!

Hurry up and win! Wang Peng's greatest hope was to annihilate the Tibetans on the opposite side before the Governor arrived, or at least to cripple them and make them incapacitated.

"Da Da Da ......"

The wolf cavalry began to move, the war horse immediately accelerated, Wang Peng inserted the scimitar into the scabbard, and he, like the warriors, needed to shoot an arrow to strike the Tibetans at a distance before using the scimitar to cut off the heads of the Tibetans.

In the square position opposite, the Tibetans were already in full battle, and the hands of the archers were already equipped with bows and arrows, although they were not professional soldiers, but they had fought with the Mongols in the city.

But today's opponent is not the Mongols in the city, well-equipped, all-colored cavalry, after the wolf cavalry accelerated, in the face of high-speed galloping war horses, their hearts were more nervous than Wang Peng, and some people's arms couldn't help but shake freely.

Songba Xindan regretted it a little, he originally relied on the huge advantage in numbers, and planned to defeat the enemy army outside the eastern city first, and then concentrate his forces to deal with the more numerous enemy troops in the west of the city, if not to win, at least with the city wall to hold on.

However, seeing the dust raised by the galloping cavalry, there were already Tibetans who were already frightened......

If he kills the enemy, his subordinates are all infantry, and he will never be able to leave the cavalry on the opposite side, in case he is defeated......

At this time, if you want to retreat, it's too late!

Seeing the cavalry on the opposite side approaching the phalanx, Somba Xindan, who was sitting on horseback, could only bite the bullet, and he gave an order to the strong man: Don't be afraid, once the enemy army enters the range of fifty paces, use a steady stream of bows and arrows to block the enemy's advance!

The Tibetans all knew that Songpa Xindan was supervising the battle behind the battle, and they were concentrating on each other, lest they miss the best time to release their arrows.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides were already within the range of each other, and the "whoosh...... feather arrows flew quickly towards their respective targets with the sound of breaking through the sky, and the low altitude seemed to be a goose feather snowstorm......

Wang Peng rushed to the forefront of the team, and was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, fortunately he wore two layers of leather armor, and the outside was covered with the Mingguang armor of the Heavenly Mandate Army, but he injured the flesh and skin, he pulled out the arrow violently and threw it outward, "Ma Qiao, dare to shoot Lao Tzu, kill, kill them!" ”

"Kill, kill, kill......"

The soldiers of the wolf cavalry responded, shouting in bursts, and they could be heard for nine days!

After all, the Tibetans are not a regular army, but a strong man who has been temporarily armed, and they will fight a little on weekdays, and in the face of the wolf cavalry, which is famous for its blood, the momentum alone will intimidate a large area.

Although the wolf cavalry suffered casualties, the speed of the war horses almost did not decrease, and they directly met the phalanx of the Tibetans.

There were no horse piles, thistles, and trenches in front of the phalanx, and there were no trenches to hinder the advance of the cavalry, which was why Wang Peng dared to storm the infantry position.

He rushed almost to the front of the line, and when he approached the phalanx, he did not ask a question, but raised his sword and cut down one of the Tibetan swordsmen to the ground, and then stepped into the phalanx to meet the Tibetan archers.

The field duel, the same scimitar, the cavalry has a huge advantage in speed, Wang Peng opened a bloody road, and the wolf cavalry behind also cut into the phalanx and began to face the Tibetan sword soldiers.

In an instant, the wolf cavalry had already cut into the phalanx, they did not love to fight, and the war horses did not slow down, a knife, just a knife, no matter whether the Tibetans lived or died, they would be handed over to their companions behind them.

After several ups and downs, the wolf cavalry had already penetrated the phalanx and killed from behind, splitting the Tibetans in two.

Wang Peng was about to turn the horse's head, turned around and pounced on the Tibetan phalanx, and suddenly saw dozens of cavalry in front, estimated to be the leader of the war, his scimitar waved forward, shouting: "Kill the cavalry first, and then pack up the infantry when you turn around, none of them can escape!" ”

"Kill, kill, kill......"

The wolf cavalry responded, not turning the horse's head, but continuing the arrow formation, pounced on the Tibetan cavalry in front.

Somba Xindan, who was supervising and commanding the battle, was too close to the phalanx, and the wolf cavalry pounced and approached his personal guard, and he was taken aback: how could the enemy's speed be so fast?

If you want to avoid the momentum of the enemy army, it is too late, so you let the guards around you grab it and take the initiative to go up to meet it.

Except for the slight hesitation at the beginning, the wolf cavalry barely slowed down, and the arrow formation, at the cost of casualties, simply rushed the Tibetan cavalry through a gap and rushed straight towards Songba Xindan.

Somba Xindan was shocked, there were only three guards left by his side, and it was impossible to stop the enemy cavalry, so he hurriedly turned his horse's head and galloped in the direction of the city gate hole.

The front part of the wolf cavalry was in hot pursuit, and if they wanted to return to the city at this time, even if they could pass through the city gate, the enemy army would enter the city with them, and there were basically no Tibetan strong men in the city......

Somba Xindan took the reins of the horse, so that the war horse changed to the direction of the lower ground of the southern city, a few up, has opened the distance from the enemy, in order to speed up, avoid the enemy may cast arrows, his chest is almost attached to the horse's back.

Wang Peng saw that the distance between the two sides was getting farther and farther, and he could no longer use the scimitar directly, so he divided more than ten horsemen to chase closely, and he took the main force of the wolf cavalry and turned back to the battlefield outside Dongcheng.

When Li Zicheng heard the news that Wang Peng was about to fight a decisive battle with the Tibetans, he immediately rushed over from the direction of the South City Gate with all the cavalry of the second battalion of Li Guo's department, and saw the flying dust in front of him from a distance, and was taken aback, could it be that Wang Peng was defeated so quickly? He's so young......

Li Guo put up his eyelids, looked at it from a distance, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Leather armor, the metropolitan governor, the cavalry that escaped in front is not our people, and the more than ten horsemen chasing behind are the wolf cavalry......"

Li Zicheng slowed down his horse's speed and looked closely, and sure enough, as Li Guo said, the cavalry chasing behind was wearing bright light armor, and the metal scales on the armor emitted a dazzling light in the sun, which was very different from the leather armor of the deserters in front.

He couldn't help but smile, it seems that although Wang Peng is not very old, he has inherited his father's toughness!

Li Zicheng also knows that the strong men of the nomadic tribe do not need centralized training, nor do they rely on coordinated operations, as well as the so-called strategy of the Han people, they are born warriors, and they have learned to ride and shoot since they were young, and all the strong men are almost produced on the assembly line.

As long as the general is a lion, the cavalry he leads must be a lion army!

He looked at the fugitive cavalry who were getting closer and closer, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, there are not many cavalry in the city, and if you can get a war horse, it must be their leader!
