Chapter 435: It's hard to ride a tiger
The face of the leading general of the barbarian army was very solemn, and he hedged twice in a row, and the army on the opposite side suffered a lot of losses, not only did not panic, but gradually narrowed the gap.
But what really frightened him was not the morale of this army, but the discipline of this army.
Although his heart was shocked and his face was solemn, he still had strong confidence in his army, because their barbarians were powerful.
The leader of the barbarian army also kept sending orders to adjust the formation of the army, and the rapid formation of the opposite army also stimulated him.
The two cavalry armies in the wilderness were like two giant dragons, constantly entwining and killing, bloody and tragic.
In the distance on Xiyue City, the soldiers were nervously watching the cavalry battle in the distance.
Since the news of the breakthrough of Raoshan Pass, Xiyue City began to prepare for war, Raoshan Pass was broken, and the barbarian army could drive straight into Xiyue City until Xiyue City.
Sure enough, the barbarian army was wrapped in smoke and dust in the sky, and the soldiers on Xiyue City swore to defend the city to the death, and suddenly another cavalry army arrived.
From a distance, they couldn't tell whether the army that appeared was a barbarian army or a reinforcement.
If it is still a barbarian army, then Xiyue City will be closed.
Just when they were worried, the two armies did not hesitate to set up their positions and fought together.
There is no doubt that it is reinforcements.
And the army was far superior to the barbarian army, but they were still worried.
This army came to help, it should not be so easy to fight with the barbarian army, it should be close to Xiyue City, and Xiyue City should form a corner to fight against the barbarian army.
But it was too late to say anything, and the two armies were already fighting together.
The cavalry hedged so violently that they were horrified even when they saw it from a distance on the city walls.
The two armies were hedged against each other, and they could roughly tell that the reinforcements had suffered heavy losses.
Although there was a faint expectation in his heart, the guards of Xiyue City still changed color suddenly.
"Gather the cavalry immediately and be ready to fight at any time!" The general ordered in a deep voice.
Xiyue City is an important place for grain storage, mainly defending the city, and there are not many cavalry in the city, but he can't watch the army that came to help outside the city.
The general who had just finished giving the order and was about to leave was immediately stunned, because he saw that the reinforcements that had finished hedging were quickly assembled into a formation again!
He watched in a daze as the distance was constantly adjusting in the process of detours, and he was once again assembled into a strict formation.
On the other hand, the barbarian cavalry army was scattered a lot, which is what it should be. After a hedging, the soldiers suffered a lot of losses, and it was difficult for everyone to find their position in a short period of time to once again condense the city's strict formation.
The general's heart was tumbling, watching the two cavalry hedge fiercely again. This reinforcement is not as heavy as the loss just now.
A glimmer of expectation suddenly rose in the general's heart, and in his expectant eyes, the reinforcements after the hedging were once again condensed into a formation in a roundabout!
Where are the reinforcements here? Did the general personally lead the troops to reinforcements? The general couldn't help but get excited.
If this hedge continues, the barbarians' formation will become more and more scattered, and the barbarians' individual bravery will be dragged down by the formation, and as long as the reinforcements can continue to form a formation, they will gradually gain the upper hand.
What a strong army! The ability to continue to unite in the midst of successive tragic hedging requires not only high morale, but also strong discipline and cohesion.
Although the casualties of the reinforcements were still greater than those of the barbarian army, the general saw the dawn of victory, because the barbarians could not afford to consume them.
The generals on the city wall can see it clearly, but how can the leading general of the barbarian army not understand it? Their barbarian soldiers are already small, and if they can't defeat the cavalry of the Great Zhou, they will suffer from this consumption.
Their barbarian army has always been the last afraid of field battles, and this kind of cavalry hedging is what they are good at, but they didn't expect it to be difficult to ride a tiger now.
After another hedge, seeing that his army suffered more and more casualties, and the enemy army faintly gained the upper hand, the barbarian leader finally made up his mind.
After another roundabout, the barbarian army did not turn around and hedge, but galloped towards the distance.
Seeing the barbarian army retreating in a roundabout way, Tang Ning did not order a pursuit after thinking about it.
Now after a lot of fighting, people are already sleepy. What's more, if you are chasing, it is easy to be kited by the other party.
Because in the pursuit battle, the opponent can calmly readjust the array, so that the advantages established by Tangning's army are gone.
After the barbarian army was defeated, the walls of Xiyue City were jubilant, and it was far more inspiring to repel the barbarian army in the field than to defend the city and repel the barbarian army.
The general said excitedly: "Quick, welcome the general into the city, and, Lao Gao, go and lead people to clean up the battlefield and rescue the wounded soldiers." ”
Tang Ning led the army slowly towards Xiyue City, and the gate of Xiyue City suddenly opened, and the general came out with a team of cavalry.
He was full of joy and thought that General Huaiyuan personally led the troops, but he didn't expect that the general who led the troops was a strange young man, and this army was also very eye-catching.
But although he hadn't been to Shuozhou City, he had heard about the things in Shuozhou City, and he knew who was coming.
This time, the one who led the troops to come to the aid turned out to be Tang Ning, the commander of the Nanshan battalion!
The one who had just repelled the barbarian army turned out to be the soldiers of the Beijing camp!
His heart stirred up turbulence, and he felt unbelievable, after all, even the border army was difficult to repel the barbarian army in the field, and the Jingying actually did it, and it was the young general who led the army.
No matter how hard it was, he had to believe it, because it was all happening right in front of his eyes. He saw first-hand how this army repelled the barbarian army.
Although he was also prejudiced against the soldiers of the Beijing camp in the past, when he heard that Tang Ning led the troops to reinforce the border towns, he also ridiculed that he was here to get credit.
But now he was convinced, at least with Tang Ning and the soldiers of the Beijing camp he led. Defeating the barbarian army in the field, there is no better proof of their strength.
"The last general, Xiyue City, and Zheng Daliang, the general of the city, see General Tang! Thank you General Tang for leading the troops to come to the rescue, and congratulations to General Tang on his victory over the barbarian army! Zheng Daliang saluted respectfully.
The generals behind Zheng Daliang also saluted with joy and sincerity, and they saw with their own eyes that this army had repelled the barbarian army after a tragic hedging fight, and they sincerely admired it.
After guarding the border for a long time, they know better in their hearts the horror of the barbarian army, so they understand better how rare it is to repel the barbarian army in the field.
