Chapter 679: Crushing

"Die!" The iron horse lance in Xuanqi's hand continued to sweep left and right, and the rebel cavalry in front of him were killed and fell off their horses, and the spears in the hands of the ironclad heavy cavalry behind him easily penetrated the enemy's armor and stabbed the enemy cavalry to death.

This is not defeat, not a defeat, but a massacre, massacre!

Sun Xiaozhe's face turned pale when he saw it, beads of sweat continued to ooze from his forehead, and his mouth muttered: "This, this, this······ How is this possible, how is it possible? I'm not going to lose, I'm not going to lose······"

Compared with Sun Xiaozhe's panic, Yin Ziqi was undoubtedly much calmer, although he was also shocked by the fierce combat effectiveness of the Tang Army's ironclad heavy cavalry, but he was very sober at this time, and he had to find a way, otherwise the remaining cavalry of the Chinese army would not be able to block the impact of the Tang Army's ironclad heavy cavalry no matter what.

Yin Ziqi wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said eagerly to Sun Xiaozhe: "Dashuai, we will definitely lose if we continue like this, we must find a way to stop and block the impact of the opponent's ironclad cavalry, our Chinese cavalry seems to be unable to stop, we must transfer troops from the left and right flanks, and dare to block them before the Tang Army's ironclad cavalry rushes to Daxu, otherwise we will be all finished!" Marshal, quickly order the infantry to come over and set up a spear formation, otherwise it will be too late! ”

"Huh? Yes, yes, yes, we must transfer troops, we must transfer pikemen to block the enemy, and quickly pass my general's order, and transfer 10,000 pikemen from the right flank! Order the saber and shield soldiers to advance! Sun Xiaozhe began to shout as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Although Sun Xiaozhe's department was a rebel, but the execution of the military order was extremely fast, the 20,000 sword and shield soldiers originally placed in front of Daxu began to move forward, followed by the cavalry to meet the Tang army's ironclad heavy cavalry, as the 20,000 sword and shield soldiers moved forward, the front of the rebel Daxu began to vacate, and 10,000 pikemen moved from the right flank and gradually began to fill this gap.

20,000 sword and shield soldiers, listening to the large number of people, looked like a large area of black pressure, but in fact, these sword and shield soldiers were all dressed in light leather armor, and after the rebel cavalry in front was crushed, they rushed directly towards the 20,000 sword and shield soldiers, and many rebel soldiers just saw the figure of the Tang Army's ironclad heavy cavalry and were quickly shocked by this huge momentum.

"Bang Dang" "Bang Dang" dropped their weapons and the rebel soldiers began to flee, and the other rebel soldiers saw these people fleeing, and saw the Tang Army's ironclad heavy cavalry rushing towards them, where did they still have the courage to use small shields and small knives to confront these ironclad cavalry?

The ironclad heavy cavalry of the Tang Army has not officially attacked the 20,000 rebel sword and shield soldiers, and a large number of rebel soldiers in front of them began to flee, and in an instant, the rebel infantry formation was completely broken away and scattered. Not only did it not have any combat effectiveness, but it also affected other phalanxes.

Xuan Qi ran over with the ironclad heavy cavalry without any pressure, crushing the fleeing rebel soldiers into bloody meatloaf, and the spears tied to both sides of the war horse were already strung with many corpses, the spears could no longer bear this weight and broke, and the released war horses were much more relaxed, and the speed of the sprint seemed to be a little faster.

The 20,000 sword and shield soldiers could not stop the impact of the Tang Army's ironclad heavy cavalry as Sun Xiaozhe and Yin Ziqi expected, but they didn't expect that the 20,000 men would be defeated before they could contact the enemy, and they were defeated too early and too simply, and they didn't really expect these 20,000 people to play any role, they really relied on the 10,000 pikemen who had just been transferred, and they relied on the 10,000 pikemen to block the opponent's ironclad heavy cavalry.

However, Sun Xiaozhe and Yin Ziqi did not expect what happened, only blamed them for their experience in commanding the army, the defeated 20,000 sword and shield soldiers did not flee to both sides, nor could they escape to both sides, there were their own infantry formations on both sides, so they could only flee backwards, and this large number of defeated sword and shield soldiers directly attacked the 10,000 pikemen who were blocking in front of Daxu.

The front of the spear array was crushed by the rout soldiers who poured in like a tide, and soon swept to the center, Sun Xiaozhe saw it in a hurry, and roared urgently: "Quickly let those rout soldiers scatter to the two wings, disperse!" These idiots, idiots! Order the pikemen to attack these routs and make them turn against the enemy, quick! ”

The entire battlefield of the Chinese army was chaotic, too chaotic, Sun Xiaozhe's military orders could not be conveyed unimpeded as before, the ironclad heavy cavalry led by Xuan Qi rushed over like a rainbow, and all the rebels in front were trampled through, this ironclad heavy cavalry was like a rice field harvester, all the whole army in front was harvested cleanly, leaving only a corpse fragment where it passed.

The pikemen in the rear had already stuck their spears diagonally on the ground at this time, and Sun Xiaozhe, Yin Ziqi and all the rebel generals hoped that these pikemen would be able to block the impact of the Tang army's ironclad heavy cavalry.

"Boom!" The Tang army's ironclad heavy cavalry crashed into the spear array, but found that the spears with diagonal inserts were all broken after touching the vests of the Tang army's ironclad war horses, and the Tang army's ironclad cavalry rushed into the spear array like no one, and Sun Xiaozhe's spear array with high hopes also failed to block the impact of the Tang army's ironclad heavy cavalry.

Zhao Ziliang took down the binoculars and instructed Lai Yao: "Order the light cavalry on the left and right wings to attack at the same time!" ”

"No!"

With the sound of war drums and horns, the light cavalry on the left and right wings of the Tang army began to attack the left and right flanks of the enemy, and the cavalry had an incomparable advantage over the infantry, although the rebels had a large number of troops, but most of them were Tang troops before, and these heads of the past army could not fight with the imperial army at all, and there was no battle, and the infantry on the left and right wings of the rebels was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of momentum, and the morale could not be raised.

Tens of thousands of cavalry launched an attack at the same time, which has never appeared since the An Lushan Rebellion, Sun Xiaozhe looked at the left and right flanks of the Tang army with a pale face and had launched an attack at this time, he shouted: "Order the left and right flanks to fight, meet the battle, give me to defeat the left and right flanks of the Tang army, so that we can save the defeat!" ”

Yin Ziqi saw that the ironclad heavy cavalry of the Tang Army was rushing over, and knew that the pikemen phalanx could not be stopped, on the one hand, these pikemen were under too much psychological pressure in the face of the ironclad heavy cavalry, they had not undergone such training, fear was inevitable, people had the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid harm, and it was unrealistic to expect these pikemen who had never been trained to fight against the heavy cavalry to block the opponent's attack, on the other hand, the quality of the spears was too poor, and the protective ability of the opponent's ironclad heavy cavalry was too strong, and they could not break the defense at all, Is this still fighting?

Yin Ziqi persuaded Sun Xiaozhe: "Marshal, I see that the spear array can't be stopped, if our starting platform is not withdrawn to the rear, it will soon be crushed by the Tang army, and then not only will you and I not be guaranteed, but also cause a complete rout of the army, quickly order a retreat of two miles, let the three thousand handsome tent guards block here!" ”

Although Sun Xiaozhe was extremely reluctant to retreat two miles back, he also knew that what Yin Ziqi said was right, so he could only grit his teeth and order: "Leave Daxu behind, order three thousand handsome tent guards to be crucified here, and they must not be allowed to storm Shuaitai!" ”

According to the tactical needs, the coach can retreat, but the identity of the coach is absolutely not allowed to retreat, once the commander retreats, the soldiers will think that the army is defeated, and then the chain reaction of large-scale rout will occur.

The 3,000 handsome tent guards made Sun Xiaozhe the only man and horse in his hand who could be mobilized in time, this time he left 10,000 guards in the camp to guard the grain, grass and ordnance, and the other nearly 90,000 horses have been put into the battlefield, at this time it is impossible to transfer them again, he can only retreat.

Sun Xiaozhe retreated two miles in fright, and the panic in his heart finally calmed down, the three thousand guards were his cronies, one by one, they were not afraid of death, and it was precisely because of these three thousand guards that they could slightly delay the impact speed of the Tang army's ironclad heavy cavalry, but they could not completely block the charge of the Tang army's iron cavalry, the impact of the big food war horse was not only strong and durable, but it was only a few miles away, which was not worth mentioning for them at all.

Sun Xiaozhe's appearance was a little embarrassed, he swallowed his saliva and asked Yin Ziqi: "General Yin, do you think the left and right flanks can defeat the Tang army?" ”

Yin Ziqi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Although we have overestimated Zhao Ziliang very much, but I now realize that we still underestimate him, although he only used more than 20,000 people, but the combat effectiveness of more than 20,000 people is too strong, we may not be able to beat it even if we calculate five to one, our two wings are all infantry, and the cavalry has a natural advantage over the infantry, now I only hope that Daxu will not fall, as long as Daxu does not fall, the infantry on the left and right wings will not extinguish hope, I hope we can use the numerical advantage to exhaust the Tang Army's attack spirit!" ”

While the two were talking, a large force of Tang army archers appeared on the two wings of the rebel 3,000 handsome tent guards who were resisting the charge of the Tang army's ironclad heavy cavalry, and these archers continued to attack forward after completing the shooting of the rebel cavalry, and kept firing arrows at the rebels in the middle, at this time they had surrounded the 3,000 guards who were resisting from the left and right wings, and the rebel guards who were being attacked on the front and suddenly suffered a blow on both wings could no longer resist and completely collapsed!

A large number of routs turned around and fled to the rear, Sun Xiaozhe and Yin Ziqi looked at each other with pale faces, and shouted miserably in their hearts at the same time: "It's over!" ”

Sure enough, the men and horses in the rear of the rebel escort army began to flee, and the front could no longer stop the wave after wave of heavy cavalry impact, and Daxu fell with a bang.

At this moment, a guard behind Sun Xiaozhe shouted: "Boss, it's not good, the rear camp of our army has been attacked, look!" ”

Sun Xiaozhe and Yin Ziqi turned their heads at the same time, only to see billowing smoke rising over their camp, which was a sign that a large area of grain, grass and camp tents had been burned.

"It's over, it's over, it must have been Zhao Ziliang who sent a partial division to make a detour to our rear and sneak attack our army's camp! Dashuai, we are completely finished, let's withdraw, hurry up, it's too late if we don't withdraw! Yin Ziqi said and ordered the two guards around him: "Quickly take the handsome man and leave, quickly!" (To be continued.) )
