Chapter 69: Iron Cavalry Suppresses the Camp and Fortifies Itself VI

When the horse galloped at full strength, the momentum of the horse lance and spear reached its peak. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoβˆ½β†— topβˆ½βˆ½β†—βˆ½β†—,.. β†— Whether it is the heavy armor of the Anxi heavy cavalry or the light armor of the Khorasan cavalry, it will be as fragile as silk in the face of the sharp blade of high-speed sprinting.

The lance pierced into the chest of the Khorasan cavalry, and the spear pierced the neck of the Turkic horse. As soon as they made contact, the two sides did not reserve any reservations and tried their best to fight desperately. The blood of the stars falls on the green grassland, like a swaggering wildflower.

Thanks to the fact that the men and horses are heavily armoured, the Anxi heavy cavalry has a very obvious advantage when hedging. In an instant, the wedge-shaped formation of the heavy cavalry was like a quick knife cutting tofu, killing through the thirteen horizontal rows of Khorasan cavalry.

If it had been the Qarluq or Sogdian light cavalry, they would have been crushed by the time they were struck so hard. But the Khorasan cavalry was very resilient, although the phalanx was half killed by the Anxi heavy cavalry, but they were still fighting desperately without relenting, and they had no intention of retreating from the battle.

The Khorasan cavalry in the front row fought desperately with spears to slow down the Ansi heavy cavalry. The Khorasan cavalry in the back changed formation, changing from a phalanx to a crescent. The twin horns, gradually protruding, were trying to surround the flanks of the heavy cavalry.

After killing more than a dozen rows of enemy formations, the speed of the Anxi heavy cavalry also slowed down. In the face of the stubborn resistance of the enemy cavalry, Xi Yuanqing led the army to sprint hard, but he could not break through the formation for a long time, and the charge gradually turned into a melee and stalemate.

Xi Yuanqing noticed that the Khorasan cavalry was changing formations, and understood the enemy's operational intentions to outflank. But he was not afraid, because there were still Duan Xiushi's light cavalry behind him.

After Xi Yuanqing assassinated two enemy cavalrymen, he pierced the abdomen of the third Khorasan cavalryman with a swing. When he pulled back the lance, he found that the enemy was clinging to the shaft.

Xi Yuanqing did not compete with the other party, but abandoned the lance and drew the knife, cut the enemy's throat with one sword, and then swung the knife to the next enemy.

In the melee, long weapons are difficult to use. More and more heavy cavalry switched to horizontal swords and slashed at the Khorasan cavalry, wielding a large scimitar.

In close combat, the Anthy heavy cavalry has better defense with heavy armor. Although the scimitar is extremely sharp, it is more suitable for slashing through leather light armor. In the face of the iron heavy armor, the Khorasan cavalry had limited armor-piercing ability, and could only try their best to find the gaps in the heavy cavalry armor to assassinate.

As a result, while the Ansi heavy cavalry could kill or slash an enemy with three or two swords, the Khorasan cavalry had to swing their swords more than a dozen times to find a suitable slit.

The longer the time, the greater the accumulated advantage of the Anxi heavy cavalry. The ratio of battle losses between the two sides is becoming more and more uneven.

The core of the melee is the collision between the Anxi heavy cavalry and the Khorasan cavalry; On the periphery of the core, the Ansi light cavalry led the Bahanna light cavalry, which was facing the Qarluq cavalry and the Sogdian light cavalry.

The Qarluqs have followed the Anxi Protectorate many times, and they have a deep understanding of the strength of the Anxi army, and they have more fears in their hearts. The dazzling bright light armor, the frost-sharp Mo knife and the courage of the Anxi army all made the Qarlu cavalry envious and fearful.

They naturally obeyed the Khan's military orders, but as for why they rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and attacked the Anxi army, the Qarluqs did not know.

Because he knew too well the combat strength of the Anxi army, in the face of the charge of the Anxi light cavalry, although the Qarlu cavalry had the advantage in numbers, the fighting spirit was not high.

The Sogdian light cavalry was not as powerful as the Qarluqs, and it was even more terrifying in the face of the Tang army.

After Duan Xiushi led 1,500 Anxi light cavalry and more than 1,000 Bahanna light cavalry to charge and kill several times, the 6,000 Qarluqs and Sogdians could not support it and retreated one after another. At this time, the formation of the Khorasan cavalry had not yet been converted, and the twin tips of the crescent moon had not yet touched the flanks of the Anxi heavy cavalry.

After defeating the enemy army, Duan Xiushi immediately led his troops north, not to chase the Qarluqs who fled like rabbits, but to go around the back of the Khorasan cavalry and flank the enemy's crescent formation with the heavy cavalry.

"Withdraw! Remove! "When the Khorasan cavalry saw that the battle was not good, they no longer fell in love with the battle. They also hurriedly turned their horses' heads and retreated.

When fleeing, the horses and light armor of the horses gave the Khorasan cavalry a huge speed advantage. The Anzay heavy cavalry could only kill the enemy who was fighting, but they were powerless to chase the fleeing enemy.

"Anthy cavalry, mighty! The Tang cavalry, mighty! After repelling the enemy army, Xi Yuanqing waved his sword and shouted.

"Mighty! Mighty! The Anxi soldiers raised their horses and swords and shouted wildly.

"Mighty!" Dou Wuma, who had personally killed two Qarluq cavalrymen, was even more excited. It was only when he swung his sword and killed the enemy to his heart's content that Dou Wumo felt that the world was so wonderful.

"General Xi Zhonglang, don't forget the most important task." When the crowd was excited, Duan Xiushi drove his horse to Xi Yuanqing's side and reminded him euphemistically.

Xi Yuanqing nodded, then raised his horizontal knife and shouted loudly: "Anxi cavalry, rush!" ”

The Anxi cavalry galloped clockwise along the main camp and killed the enemy troops at the west gate from the north gate of the barracks.

The Khorasan cavalry attacking the west gate saw the morale-boosting Tang cavalry rushing forward, and they were about to line up to meet the battle, but they heard the order to retreat from the north.

So, without waiting for the Tang army to arrive, the Great Food Army besieging the West Gate took the initiative to retreat.

At this time, the 40,000 Sogdian light cavalry responsible for the flank outflanking had just arrived. Seeing that the vanguard army failed to attack the camp, they stopped outside the range of the Anxi army's feather arrows and did not dare to step forward.

When the Anxi soldiers saw that the enemy army was retreating, they immediately rejoiced and roared to the sky.

Under the fierce resistance and counterattack of the Anxi army, the first round of attacks of the Dashi rebels came in a tide but retreated, leaving only corpses all over the ground. Among them, there are not a few of them from the Tang Army.

The pain in the left shoulder was unbearable, and Mutai'a knelt in Abu ?? At the feet of Mu Slim, he said ashamedly: "Governor, I have failed to live up to your trust, and the vanguard army has failed to enter the camp of the Don army. ”

"The Beiting Army is in hand, and Gao Xianzhi, who is even more famous than Wang Zhengjian, is naturally not easy to defeat. You've done your best, don't be sad. "Abu?? Muslim helped Mude'a up: "Bandage your shoulders first!" ”

"Thank you, Governor, forgiveness!" Mude'a knelt down again before turning and going down to bandage his wounds.

"The Beiting army is difficult to deal with because of the fortified city and Roman fire; The Anxi army resisted so fiercely, but it was because of illusions. Gao Xianzhi repelled the first round of attacks, presumably he couldn't hold it back, and wanted to send troops to break through. In that case, I'll give you more faith and hope, and then I'll cut it all off! Without hope, everything is easy. Calculating the time, Ziyad is almost there...... "Abu?? Muslim looked at the whitening sky in the east, a smile of victory on his face.

The sun will rise, and the river will bend.

After three or four miles of travel, the terrain gradually sank and at the same time some dirt bags and hills were revealed.

Surrounded by dirt bags and hills, the river becomes twists and turns, twists and turns, and twists and turns.

Probably because the river swirls around here, the water here is more abundant and the number of trees is gradually increasing. On both sides of the river, there are many woods.

Herders and caravans walking east and west along the river tread a path on both sides of the river. Sometimes the road follows the river, sometimes crosses the woods, sometimes leaves the river and straightens in the bend.

The sound of more than 100,000 people fighting on the battlefield was particularly abrupt in the early morning field. More than three miles to the east of the battlefield, the river made a sharp bend, and it turned south for nearly a thousand paces before turning south.

On the south bank of the bend of the river, there is a forest. Alarmed by the sound of the fight, a flock of birds flew out of the woods they roosted in panic and fled into the distance.

The side of the woods also has a huge sharp bend along with the river.

To the east of the bend, a team of 100 Qarluqs was slowly moving westward with horses and skinny monkeys with their hands tied and sackcloth in their mouths.

After the sound of shouting and killing came from a distance, the centurion who led the team thought for a moment and ordered in a loud voice: "Stop, go to the woods and rest for a while!" ”

The people and horses in the west neighed and Jin Ge intersected, and Ma Luan's heart was like fire and annoyed after hearing it. He carefully watched the movements of the Qarluq cavalry, wondering how he could get out. The emaciated monkey, who had recovered from his body, stared nervously at the deep woods, worried about whether the Qarluqs had decided to kill their mouths......

After the Qarluq hundred-man team drove Ma Lu and the thin monkey into the woods, billowing smoke and dust appeared at both ends of the road, which were dozens of miles away from east to west.

More than a hundred miles south of the battlefield, Qi Yad and Naju Che Bishi were anxiously leading more than 20,000 cavalry to the north.

Ziyad stared anxiously at the north, constantly urging the army to speed up. However, the quality of the cavalry of Shiguo was low, and they could not keep up with the pace of the Khorasan cavalry at all.

Qi Yade was so angry, but he had to pinch his nose and walk with the stone ** team. He knew that the 7,000 men under his command alone would not be enough to deal a fatal blow to the Anxi army. If you want to perfectly realize the strategy of the governor, you must also rely on the vengeful stone cavalry.

It's just that no matter how he urges, how encouraging the Na Che Na Shi is, and how hard the Shi ** team works. The poorly trained cavalry of the Stone Kingdom in peacetime were never able to reach the marching speed of the Khorasan cavalry.

Due to Qi Yad's urgency, during the march, not only hundreds of Shiguo cavalry were left behind, but even a three-person scout team of Khorasan cavalry was also missing.

But Ziyad was in a hurry to and Abu ?? Muslim converged, and at this time he could not care about the stragglers and missing scouts. Moreover, Ziyad was convinced that, according to the Governor's schemes and intelligence from the Qarluqs, there would never be any force behind him that could threaten him.

What Qi Yad didn't expect was that the three Khorasan scouts were captured by the three hundred black-armored cavalry who followed behind in the mountains and forests north of Tuozhi City.

After interrogating enough information, the black-armored cavalry quietly made a detour in the mountains and forests, overtook the Qiyad Division, and headed north lightly. At this moment, the cavalry had already arrived at the southern edge of the battlefield.

Hearing the sound of fighting from the north, Hakim, the leader of the black-armored cavalry, approached the battlefield with great fear, and hid his tracks and observed for a long time.

Based on his armor and horses, Hakim quickly recognized the Khorasan cavalry, but he did not recognize the sacred side of the besieged army.

After finding out the information, Hakim did not let the black-armored cavalry not get involved in the war, but avoided the eyes and ears of the warring parties, and headed east along the edge of the battlefield. After all, there were only 300 of them, and the purpose of their long journey was not to fight the rebels with pebbles.

The morning sun is vigorous and the clouds are gorgeous.

When the morning light sprinkles over the land in the river, the final finale of the war storm that swept all the forces in the river, centered on the Anxi army camp, is being staged in the south of Talas.

All the conspiracies, all the planning, are about to be unveiled!

Whether it is inevitable or accidental, all aspects of power are swept here by the violent hurricane of fate, ready to play their final role in the finale.

As the butterfly that fanned this storm, Wang Fei thought that after the prologue opened and the war began, he could only watch quietly as the mastermind behind the scenes, and let all the characters sing freely. Little did he know that the hand of fate played a joke on him and actually pushed him to the forefront, making him the most dazzling character in the final scene!
