Chapter 788: Attack
"It's a matter of time before they break through, they can't stop the rescue of the Khitan cavalry in front, but they can delay their speed and buy time for our cavalry's attack."
"Then I'm afraid they won't have one left in the end!"
Zhang Bao'er turned his head and glanced at the Luzhou regimental exercises that were waiting for the battle, shook his head and said, "Fighting, how can there be immortals!" There is no way to do it, and if we don't, we're all going to die here. ”
After pondering for a while, Wang Haibin resolutely said: "Dingguo Gong, let me go and block the cavalry in front!" ”
"Huh?" Zhang Baoer didn't expect Wang Haibin to have such an idea.
"I still have a thousand people under my command, although it is not as elite as the Luzhou regiment, but we have a heart of blood and a heart of death, I promise to delay their time to the greatest extent, or let those two hundred people attack the enemy on the left flank!"
"Great, if you add these two hundred people, I am completely sure that I will wipe out all the Khitan cavalry on the left flank." Zhang Bao'er clapped her hands and said, but she couldn't bear to say: "Wang Duwei, you must know that this is a life of nine deaths!" ”
Wang Haibin said sadly: "The 60,000 army was crushed for thousands of miles without a bloody battle with the enemy, and I am unwilling!" Originally, we had already lost this battle, but Dingguo Gong turned the situation around, I am also a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, and now I have the opportunity to fight with the enemy, and I am ashamed of my blood, even if I die on the battlefield, I am willing. ”
Zhang Bao'er was moved when he heard this, and he saluted Wang Haibin and said, "Wang Duwei, Zhang Bao'er has thanked you here." If something happens to you, if I can go back alive, your family will be handed over to me Zhang Bao'er! ”
"I have eight hundred men under me, and I'm one too!" At that moment, a voice rang out from the side.
"You?" Zhang Baoer looked back and saw that it was the unkempt Li Sijing.
Li Sijing's face was haggard, he hadn't said a word in the car formation in the past two days, no one knew what he was thinking, but who knew that he suddenly spoke at this time.
Li Sijing didn't raise his head, and said slowly: "The responsibility for this defeat lies with me, tens of thousands of Tang Dynasty athletes have died because of me, and now it's too late to regret it, even if you cut it with a thousand knives, you can't atone for your sins." Li was a dead man and was not qualified to speak. Wang Duwei is right, I am also a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, and I hope that Dingguo Gong will give me a chance to die on the battlefield! ”
Zhang Baoer was silent.
Li Sijing pounced and knelt on the ground: "Dingguo Gong, please, give me a chance!" ”
After saying that, Li Sijing shook his head, and suddenly his forehead was bleeding.
Zhang Bao'er sighed, stepped forward to help Li Sijing up, and said, "General Li, please get up, I agreed." ”
"Thank you Dingguogong, thank you Dingguogong!" Li Sijing was already in tears when he got up.
Li Kailuo was about to open his mouth on the side, but Zhang Bao'er preemptively said: "In this way, Wang Duwei will leave three hundred people and hand them over to General Li Kailuo to be responsible for the defense in the car formation." The remaining 800 men and the 800 men of General Li Sijing, led by Wang Duwei and General Li Sijing, were responsible for blocking the Khitan frontal cavalry. Alright, let's go down and get ready! ”
……
The Khitan cavalry finally attacked, and the first wave was about 1,000 people, and they raised the speed of their horses to the extreme, shouting and rushing towards the chariot formation.
Although there were only 1,000 cavalry, Zhang Baoer knew that they were death squads, and the purpose was to attract the ballistas in the car formation to shoot arrows, but he did not dare to slack off at all, and the 1,000 Khitan cavalry ordered to shoot as soon as they entered the range of the ballista.
It stands to reason that the number of Khitans attacking yesterday was much larger than today, but their attack points were scattered, and the ballistas around the circle could be defended, so they could not form a powerful force. Today was different, they used cavalry to launch an attack, although there were only a thousand men, but the left flank, which was defended by only five ballistas, felt very difficult, and the effect of the attack was very obvious.
When the Khitan cavalry reached within 100 paces of the car formation, each crossbow cart only sent out three crossbows, plus the shooting of the Luzhou regiment, the Khitan people only lost three or four hundred people, and the rest of the men and horses did not slow down, and still rushed towards the car formation.
Seeing that the Khitan cavalry was getting closer and closer, Zhang Bao'er ordered: "Throw the spear!" ”
Three rounds of guns were fired, and a large number of Khitan cavalry fell, but there were still 100 cavalrymen who jumped from the cart into the formation with speed.
"Dingguo Gong, they're in!" Wang Haibin shouted.
Zhang Bao'er was also anxious, he turned around and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Hua, Wolf Tian, kill the horse!" ”
As soon as Zhang Bao'er's words fell, he saw two figures fly up and rush towards the Khitan cavalry who entered the car formation. They were like butterflies, shuttling back and forth between the Khitans and horses, and in a moment, the Khitans all fell under the horses. There is no doubt that they were taken off the horse because Uncle Hua and Er Langtian cut the horse's leg.
The Khitan cavalry without war horses, like a toothless wolf, was much easier to deal with, and was all killed by the Luzhou regiment in dozens of breaths.
Before he could catch his breath, Zhang Bao'er's brows furrowed again, it turned out that the second wave of Khitan cavalry had already taken the opportunity to rush to within three hundred steps. The second wave of cavalry numbered more than 2,000 people, and it seemed that this time it would be difficult to deal with.
"Zhou Bo, let people scatter the nails!"
"Yes!"
Zhou Bo took two hundred people, each carrying a large bag, and walked out of the car formation about thirty steps, quickly poured the contents of the pocket to the ground, and then ran lifelessly into the car formation.
"What is this?" Wang Haibin said strangely.
"This is a horse nail, it has four edges, so as long as it falls to the ground, it always has a sharp edge, the cavalry's horse throws it over and steps on the horse's hooves and it will be punctured, hehe, people fall down again......"
As he spoke, the two hundred Luzhou regiments had already returned to the car formation, and the two thousand cavalry had also reached within 100 paces. Zhang Baoer also had no reservations, crossbows, bows and arrows, repeating crossbows, throwing guns, and all long-range and short-range lethal weapons were fired at once, which suddenly caused a lot of losses for the Khitan cavalry. The tripping horse nail also played a miraculous effect, hundreds of fallen war horses hindered the cavalry's charge, making the Khitan cavalry's charge invisible this time. The remaining few hundred cavalrymen immediately retreated.
"Look, they're attacking in the third wave!" Xue Ne shouted.
In the distance, the black cavalry raised a cloud of dust and swept in like a huge wave, and this time the Khitans no longer retained, and pressed more than 4,000 people on the left flank.
Zhang Bao'er turned around and ordered: "Move the cart, all the cavalry, prepare to charge!" ”
The auxiliary soldiers who had been prepared for a long time quickly moved the cart, and the cavalry of the Luzhou regiment was already on their horses and ready to go.
"Remember, come back alive!" Zhang Baoer shouted to Zhao Langzhen, who was in the lead: "Attack!" ”
Zhao Langzhen nodded, and rushed out first, and the five hundred Luzhou regiment Lian rushed towards the Khitan cavalry without hesitation. js3v3
