The Xi cavalry who had jumped down the embankment had once again encountered a trap, this time not by a stumbling rope, but by a formation of wooden stakes with pointed upwards scattered across the riverbank below the embankment. On the beach under the embankment, two feet wide and several miles long, dense stakes with pointed ends were buried in the ground, pointed upwards and covered with mowed grass. In the night, it seems that a withered aquatic grass grows, and you can't see the whirlpool below.

The moment hundreds of Xi cavalry jumped down the river embankment, the horses under their crotches began to go berserk, and the stakes penetrated the horse's hooves and legs, making these horses frantically drop the knights on horseback into the stake formation, and the blood of the stabs was dripping.

Although these stakes could not kill them, they made a large number of cavalry lose their mobility, and the rolling wailing people under the embankment turned on their backs to block the advance of the subsequent cavalry, and many cavalry could not stop their horses, rushed down the embankment, and then fell into a chaos composed of men and horses, and could not quickly approach the Tang army on the river beach.

And the bigger disaster is that they have completely become the target of the Tang Army archers on the river beach, and they don't even need to aim, they only need to bend the bow and pull the string, and at a short distance of only twenty or thirty steps, the power of the bow and arrow is enough to penetrate the best armor, not to mention that most of the soldiers and horses of the Xi nationality are just shoddy animal skin armor. As long as an arrow is hit, it will penetrate the body and go straight to the depths of the body, and the key point will be killed by one arrow.

After only a few breaths of stepping into the trap of the spine formation, hundreds of Xi cavalry were killed by bows and arrows under the river embankment, and the sound of wailing and screaming resounded in the night sky, and the two zhang below the river embankment became a slaughterhouse.

"Archers, suppress, suppress!" Yu Wenxiong finally made the most correct decision at the moment, at this moment, only the archers suppressed the Tang archers on the river beach, so that the charging cavalry could kill them.

The Xi cavalry on the river embankment took their bows and arrows with their backhands, and although their bows and arrows were not replenished, there were still many spare arrows, which were more than enough to suppress. The 'buzzing' sound of the bowstring vibrating is like the flapping of the wings of a large swarm of bees. The condescending round of bow and arrow suppression had an effect, although the Tang army had wooden platoons as cover, but there were still overexcited Tang army archers who forgot to dodge, and after a round of suppression, there were terrible screams in the Tang army's camp.

This scream sounded like the sound of fairy music to Yu Wenxiong, and it was the sound he wanted to hear the most. Moreover, in order to avoid bows and arrows, the Tang army retracted under the wooden platoon, wasting a round of archery opportunities. And the Xi cavalry who rushed down the river beach had already paved a safe way through the spike formation with flesh and blood. Dozens of horsemen had already rushed through the stake formation and rushed towards the wooden platoon of the Tang army. This shows that the suppression of the bow and arrow is effective, and all the casualties are finally rewarded.

"Kill." Yu Wenxiong raised his sword and burst out with a shout. Hundreds of Xi cavalry let out earth-shattering shouts and leaped down the river beach, countless horses' hooves trampled on the fallen horses and human corpses on the ground, making a dull popping sound, and the click of broken bones. These terrifying sounds were ignored, and their only goal was to rush towards the Tang army and engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Yu Wenxiong rode his horse and stood on the river embankment, watching that hundreds of cavalry under his command had rushed in front of the Tang army, and he breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart. By this time, the battle had basically been won. Although the Tang troops on the river beach had poured out from behind the wooden platoons, and hundreds of people had gathered together to prepare for hand-to-hand combat, Yu Wenxiong believed that they were only the last of their crossbows, and under the charge of his remaining more than 1,000 cavalry, these Tang troops would not be able to fight back.

Just as Yu Wenxiong was about to jump off the river embankment to participate in the battle, he suddenly heard the sound of fighting and screaming from the rear of the follow-up cavalry team, Yu Wenxiong frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" Something happened behind it. ”

"It's not a good deal, General Yuwen, there are Tang Army cavalry in the oblique stab, blocking the road for follow-up soldiers and horses?" A soldier came on horseback and hurried to report.

"Don cavalry?" Yu Wenxiong was taken aback: "How many people." ”

"About...... One or two hundred people. ”

"One or two hundred people can block the way? What do you eat? Yu Wenxiong scolded.

"General Yuwen, they ...... It's fierce, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary Tang Army. ”

Yu Wenxiong scolded angrily, looked back at the Tang soldiers and his own soldiers and horses who had already handed over on the river beach, and instantly understood the other party's intentions. The other party is going to cut off his own soldiers and horses and divide his soldiers and horses into two parts. In this way, the battle on the river beach was not a one-sided situation, on the contrary, the 500 Tang troops on the river beach had an advantage over the more than 300 of their own soldiers and horses who were rushing down the river beach.

Yu Wenxiong made the right decision, at this time, he could not care about the three hundred soldiers and horses that rushed to the river beach, but to immediately annihilate the two hundred Tang troops who blocked the follow-up soldiers and horses, and let the follow-up cavalry join the battle, so as to ensure victory. So he turned his horse's head and rushed to the rear with dozens of guards around him.

On the dark barren grassland hundreds of steps away from the river embankment, Yu Wenxiong saw the extraordinary Tang Army cavalry team that the soldiers were talking about, and he could hardly believe the scene in front of him. Two slender black shadows leaped up and down in the air, and they were not even on horses, but flew like big birds above the heads of the Xi soldiers and horses of the brigade. Every time they flew over the head of the first Xi cavalryman, in a flash of cold light, the cavalry would plant their horses, and then they would borrow their strength on horseback, and then pounce on the next cavalry like birds.

In the short time that Yu Wenxiong stopped for more than a dozen breaths, there were seven or eight Xi cavalrymen who died in the hands of these two people. Yu Wenxiong finally understood the true meaning of the soldiers' words, 'They are not ordinary Tang Army'. This is a group of cavalry of the Tang Army with martial arts.

That's right, this group of cavalry is composed of dozens of guards with martial arts under Wang Yuan and Liu Jun led by Gongsun Lan and Qing Yun'er, led by Zhang Wulang, plus a hundred sturdy soldiers selected. Although they can't be called strong in martial arts, they are all practitioners, and with Gongsun Lan and Qing Yun'er, two skilled martial arts leaders, their combat power is extraordinary.

They were crucial in Wang Yuan's overall plan, as Yu Wenxiong guessed, when the stumbling horse rope and the spike formation were broken through, and the river beach turned into hand-to-hand combat, Wang Yuan needed to form a superior force on the river beach, so it was necessary to divide the formation of the entire Xi cavalry. The task of the more than 150 people led by Gongsun Lan and Qing Yun'er was to quickly intersperse and cut in, strike with lightning speed, block the enemy's follow-up cavalry on the wasteland, and give Wang Yuan and Liu Jun time to annihilate the enemy army rushing onto the river beach.

From the beginning, they lurked in the north, and when Yu Fumio sent a search party to search, they fell far behind and waited for their chance. After the Xi people attacked, they immediately began to charge, and when they rushed to the flank of the Xi cavalry, the time was just right, just when they broke through the spike formation. So the killing led by Gongsun Lan and Qingyun'er began.

From the beginning of approaching the Xi cavalry, Gongsun Lan was like a bird leaving the saddle and flying above the heads of the Xi people, and when the short sword in his hand danced, every time he quickly resulted in the life of an enemy soldier. It looks like a flying phoenix with the grace it brings, but it brings a real death.

Qingyun'er was still slashing on horseback at the beginning, and inspired by Gongsun Lan, she also became a flying bird, and jumped and killed people by Gongsun Lan's side. Although her martial arts are much worse than Gongsun Lan, her opponents are just ordinary Xi cavalry, and Qingyun'er is not afraid.

Zhang Wulang and the others could only sit honestly on the saddle, squeeze into the enemy formation from the passage that Gongsun Lan and Qing Yun'er had killed, and slash and kill the enemy troops who rushed with the big sword in their hands. There is a big difference between martial arts and no martial arts in this kind of close-range fighting, and the killing caused is also very amazing, all the way out of a bloody road, with a small number of more than 100 people, the Xi people's soldiers and horses are divided into two halves.

Yu Wenxiong's eyes erupted with fire, and he shouted loudly: "Besiege, strangle them." After saying that, dozens of guards and more than 100 cavalry who were separated from the side of the river bank quickly rushed up, and gathered with a large group of soldiers and horses to surround the more than 100 Tang soldiers.

Even if the martial arts are strong, even if they are brave and invincible, the disadvantage in numbers is indeed real, Gongsun Lan and Qingyun'er are constantly killing, but the Tang soldiers are also constantly being killed. The spears from all directions stabbed indiscriminately, and the Tang soldiers in the encirclement could not dodge at all, and in just a moment, thirty or forty Tang soldiers were picked off their horses by the concentrated thorns.

The continuous leap killing was not something that Qing Yun'er's physical strength could bear, and after killing a Xi cavalryman, Qing Yun'er had to sit down in the saddle and take a break. But just a moment of respite, the Xi cavalry around them quickly gathered, and more than a dozen spears stabbed from all directions. Qing Yun'er had to reluctantly jump up from her horse and pounce on a cavalryman. But in mid-air, she saw seven or eight spears with their heads pointing upward, waiting for her to fall.

Qing Yun'er had the intention to use the long sword to change the direction of the body falling, but her hands and feet suddenly became weak, and when the long sword hit the tip of a spear, she screamed and flew out, and her whole body had no place to borrow strength, and it fell towards the tips of the seven or eight spears that were shiny.

Qingyun'er knew that she was going to die, and she raised her head in the air and tried her best to look at the river beach, hoping to take one last look at Wang Yuan, but hand-to-hand combat was raging on the river beach, and she didn't know where Wang Yuan's figure was.

"Erlang, see you in the next life." Qing Yun'er sighed secretly in her heart, closed her eyes and waited for death.
