Chapter 180: Hedging
Bruce was not among these light cavalry, he was not a cavalryman, he could not even shoot on horseback, and if he found the enemy's trace, even if his guiding task was completed, he should return to the team next.
Since the Tubo people were in front, his own Shangguan must be behind, and along the Zang River, he quickly found the Zhangxiong people in the brigade, and this trip was not only to transfer men from Nepal, but also to bring Liu Ji his equipment and weapons.
A reserve horse, two pack horses, equipped with a few sets of armor, a few horizontal knives and Mo knives, in addition to his, Chen Jin and another subordinate also got their own equipment, Liu Ji tied those complex parts to his body, and instructed him.
"After that, you will also be equipped with armor for the purpose of soldiers, and you will be a scout in my dry pit."
"You can do whatever you say, you can do it for whomever you want, but forget about this armor, don't say that you run slowly, you usually have to wipe it every day, but it's more troublesome than waiting for a horse, and a rough person like me can't use it."
Liu Ji was not reluctant, the armor of the Tang people was really troublesome to wear, and when they finally got it neat one by one, those Xiangxiong people had already run to the front, and they were all over the place.
This kind of chaos made him shake his head, whether it was the Bolu people before, the Nibrasians after that, the Ka people or the Zhangxiong people here, they were all like this, there was no strong army at all, and there was a considerable distance to reach the average level of this time and space, not to mention compared with later generations.
"Let's go, go and meet this Xi Dongzan, and see if he can escape this time."
Liu Ji stepped on the horse, put the Mo knife behind his back, and greeted loudly, the four of them passed through the Xiangxiong brigade, and their image immediately caused the cheers of the Zhangxiong people, a huge empire that was so powerful that the Tubo people were frightened, was the confidence that they had the courage to rush into the Tubo homeland.
Encountering a strong opponent steeply, Xi Dongzan has forgotten what courage is, the two armies hedged, with the enemy outnumbered, with the heavy against the light, and he still couldn't take the advantage, how could he be embarrassed?
The healthy horse under the crotch gasped for a heavy snort, because it was not replaced, and it had experienced a round of rushing, it was already a little overwhelmed, where could he take care of it at this time, running to death and dying in battle, it was better to choose the latter, Xi Dongzan hit the horse with the handle of the iron spear without pity, and squeezed its surplus value with all his might.
The two horses approached as quickly as flying, and they could already see each other's eyes clearly, Yang pre stared at the tall body wrapped in iron armor, the long lance in his hand was raised flatly, the eight-foot-long lance body trembled slightly in high-speed movement due to the effect of gravity, and the blade of the short sword-like lance kept drawing tiny concentric circles, like a blooming flower.
"Go!" Ten paces away, he had already handed out the lance, and the acceleration of both sides caused the distance to be retracted in an instant, and he was sure that he could stab through the enemy's iron armor, even if it was a double layer, before the other party could react.
But what people didn't expect was that the high-speed rotating lance was violently blocked, and he could only deflect a little with all his strength, and the stainless steel blade slid past the opponent's side, and almost at the same time, a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and the strong wind brushed his cheeks, as if he had been fanned.
Between the lightning and flint, the attacks of both sides failed together, and it seemed that no one took advantage, and Yang Yu had a chill in his heart, this person's combat skills were still above him.
When he is strong, he is strong, not only did he not retreat, but he was eager to try, such a warrior must be very famous, Gorou can win the Da Nang beggar, why can't he?
The two who crossed by mistake rushed through each other's military formations, because of the advantage of speed, the Tang people had the upper hand this time, and the Tubo people who were shot down from their horses were endless, and when Xi Dongzan gathered his men again, less than half of the team of more than 100 people remained.
The positions of the two sides were reversed again, and the Tang people rushed into the river, and it was impossible to turn around as easily as before, and the Tubo people's horsepower was close to exhaustion, and they could no longer withstand a high-speed hedge.
Xi Dongzan jumped off his horse without hesitation, and his subordinates followed suit, fighting on foot, the same master of the heavily armored samurai, they held a gun in one hand and a sword in the other, forming a horizontal column, just waiting for the moment when the Tang people's light cavalry rushed up.
Twice in a row with all his strength, even though his horse was newly replaced, he was still a little panting, Yang pre-stepped on the water, slowly pulled the horse's head, and took advantage of this short time to count the remaining subordinates with his eyes.
There are also nineteen people, including themselves!
They had already killed more enemies than they were, and looking at the Tubo armor soldiers lined up on the riverbank, Yang Yu smiled and raised his blood-dripping lance, and roared into the sky.
"Rush over and kill them!"
"Kill!"
Nineteen war horses started slowly in the water, not afraid of riding or riding, let alone foot soldiers, at this time, with unparalleled courage on their faces, they no longer knew what life and death were.
The water splashed, the hooves thundered, and the moment the horses' hooves stepped on the riverbank, the lances were flattened by the cavalry, and by the force of the momentum they would impale everything in front of them effortlessly, whether it was a human body or something else.
Xi Dongzan's eyes almost bulged out of his sockets, he was the first time to face the galloping war horse, and he could judge at a glance that even if he put on iron armor, he could not block the impact of the Tang people, the length of the iron spear was not enough, and before stabbing into the body of the war horse, his body was only afraid that it would be picked open by the lance first, so he instinctively chose to avoid it.
"Boom!" There was a bang, as if to confirm his judgment, a heavily armored warrior was first pierced by a lance, and then knocked away by a galloping horse, and the cavalry of the Tang people rushed into the ranks of foot soldiers without any reduction, they only needed to gallop wildly, keeping the tip of the lance facing forward, they could simply break through the thin defense line, in a short moment, the Tang people had broken through the formation, and his people fell more than a dozen more, and the rest were also trembling, seeing that the enemy was turning around, about to turn into a one-sided massacre.
His heart was cold, and he left again in victory, I am afraid that he will have to take his own life and flee for his life? Xi Dongzan was ashamed of his timidity.
Then there is only one way left, die honorably!
"Their horses are about to lose their strength, rush forward, don't let them run!"
Xi Dongzan accurately judged the situation of the Tang army, indeed, after completing three rounds of high-speed sprints in a row, the physical strength of the war horse had reached the limit, and Yang Yu obviously felt its struggle, and even turned around much slower.
What to do? There were at least thirty of the remaining Tibetans, and once they were entangled, the immobile war horse became a target, and just as he desperately turned around, a great noise came from the lower reaches of the Zang River.
That's the Tibetan dialect that couldn't be clearer!
