Chapter 0355 - Look at people's faces
Folding Zong Xing sent 4,000 horsemen to divide into two teams, left and right, rushing forward in a sharp and arrow formation, like two off-string arrows straight to the left of the Zhou army, the horses' hooves trampled on the sandy land and made a roar, raising half a person's high yellow dust for a long time.

Halfway through, the two teams of horses separated from each other, one rushing straight ahead, while the other two thousand horsemen ran far away and ran to the flank.
"Ready!" With such intentions, Shi Chenghong of course saw it, shouted an order, and two columns of four hundred crossbowmen on the left and right in front of the large array quickly prepared and entered a state of waiting for the enemy.
When the enemy cavalry reached one hundred and fifty paces, the crossbowmen at the left and right corners fired their arrows first, and the first round of arrow rain did little damage to the enemy, and less than 100 cavalry overturned out. Then he instantly entered a hundred paces, and the wooden single crossbow with a range of one hundred and thirty paces and the strong archers fired arrows at the same time, and the arrows of the enemy cavalry basically disappeared.
When they entered fifty or sixty steps, the cavalry also returned fire with their bows, causing a few casualties to the crossbowmen, but the crossbowmen quickly ran and evacuated after this round of arrows, and returned to the middle of the rear from the gap between the three rows of horses in the front, put down the bows and crossbows, replaced them with swords and guns, and prepared for battle.
Fifty steps is only seventy or eighty meters away, after the Fan Cavalry lost its edge and rode for three hundred years, there were no obstacles and blockages in front of him, and the horse speed was instantly raised to the extreme, and he crashed into the tortoise shell spliced together by countless large shields.
"Ding......" There was a long roar in front of him, and the gun and shield suddenly tightened, and the half-human tall cowhide shield bordered by iron plates collided with each other, and the clanging sound formed a string of notes, which was very pleasant.
"Kill, ......" In the face of such a close rejection formation, the leader realized that he could not survive, and let out a roar of exhaustion.
Seeing that he was about to hit the horse-repelling rifle with the thickness of the child's arm, he shook the reins of the horse suddenly, and the war horse suddenly hissed angrily and leaped up, and the densely packed rejecting rifle broke and made a crackling sound, but when the war horse landed, it was still pierced through the chest from the head of the spear, and the knight only had time to swing one or two knives, and then the gunner who was waiting behind the shield wall suddenly stretched out the big gun and stabbed it through.
In an instant, his companion from behind frantically pounced, flipped him to the ground and trampled him into mud, and continued to crash into the shield wall, and in the moment before he died, he seemed to hear his companion's wail.
Seeing the two rounds of collision, the front row of shield walls had a dent, and quickly mobilized the reserve team to hold the horse rejection gun, and relined it behind the depression, and the second row retreated at the same time. As soon as this was done, the front row suddenly broke, and the Fan cavalry continued to collide, but at this time the situation was much weaker, and the gunmen on both sides of the depression had time to raise their guns and assassinate.
Another three rounds of impact, the rear reserve stepped forward to assist, the Fan cavalry could not take a step forward, the Zhou army array on three sides of the depression began to counterattack, at this time a whining horn sounded, the Fan cavalry retreated like a tide, leaving a place of corpses of men and horses gurgling with blood.
At the same time, the rear formation also suffered the impact of two thousand Tibetan cavalry, and only four battalions in Shi Deyuan's hands were in danger for a while.
The two horse teams retreated one after another, and when they counted the number of soldiers, they found that half of the soldiers had been lost, and many of them had returned with empty horses. This loss is too great, Zhe Zongxing's face is pale, and his heart hurts for a while, he can see that the left formation of the Zhou army is very strong, and the conventional method of rushing into the formation may not be effective, so he has to use some abandoned sons to consume the strength of the Zhou army, and then use this formation to press on it will definitely be able to break through in one fell swoop.
Zhe Zong Xing was about to send someone to the Chinese army to ask the clan uncle Zhi Kui Jiashi, but he didn't want the Chinese army to give an order at this time, and the front army horse formation began to spread out on both sides, leaving an empty road. The Chinese army transferred out 10,000 infantry, including Cui Huxin, Su Lun Abo, Wang Tinghan, and Zhou Jianzhang, and led the horse team by Zhe Ge to supervise the formation in the rear, with 3,000 on the left and right, and 4,000 in the middle.
In the past, the Tubo army attacked Hexi and Longyou, and every battle must drive the Tang people as slaves to fire the combat strength of the Tang army. Often after the first battle, tens of thousands of Tang slaves were killed and wounded, while the headquarters only lost hundreds of thousands.
Now there are less than 300 households in Liangzhou that still call themselves Tang people, all of whom live on the outskirts of the city, and this time they were also recruited, plus Cui Huxin, Su Lun A Bowl and other wall grass, which no longer existed after this battle.
It takes some time for 10,000 infantry to be transferred out and lined up in a whole formation, and the training time of these servant troops is still short, and some of them can't even recognize their respective commanders. Among them, the combat strength is acceptable, except for these four generals, a total of 5,000 soldiers, the rest are slaves.
At this time, they were driven by the horse team in a procession, and the angry scolding continued, and some of them realized the danger, and cried loudly and begged to be transferred to the rear team, but it was useless, they were greeted by a fierce whipping, and they continued to be driven forward.
"Thief Bird! How can the infantry use it like this? It's not easy to do! Hou Zhang saw it from a distance here, and couldn't help but change color.
Since the army was pulled into the battlefield, Hou Zhang, as the commander, has always been scared, and it is not easy to recover, and he really can't afford the consequences of failure. On the other hand, Zhang Yue, he is still young, this time he led the main force to assist him in the battle, and he didn't have anything to do if he was defeated, he was still his commander of Changyi, and it was really Jane in the emperor's heart, who intended to protect him!
"Hou Dashuai, you see, some people are aware of the sinister intentions of the Zhe Kui clan and are crying and scolding, so Cui Huxin, Wang Tinghan and other generals of the Fan and Han dynasties obviously know their fate, and under the same hatred of the enemy, do they have the courage to send them to death and not the courage to resist?" Zhang Yue said thoughtfully.
"You mean, let's send people to shout and stir people's hearts, so that they will collapse without a fight...... It was useless, there were horses on the left, right and behind, and if anyone escaped, they would be shot immediately. Hou Zhang frowned a little gray, but he was still calm.
"Nope! The Left Army withstood their tentative assault, but two battalions were also incapacitated, and if this tug-of-war continued, our soldiers would be physically exhausted and would be defeated sooner or later. There are also 7,000 Uighur spirit horsemen watching on the side, and a defeat will be fatal! Now is an opportunity, we are organized, planned, desperate to reverse the bead curtain? Zhang Yue said nervously and excitedly.
"Oh? What's the scheme? Hou Zhang was stunned when he heard this, and asked with interest.
Zhang Yue quickly and concisely recounted it, Hou Zhang was noncommittal, but from the overall battle situation, there is no better way to turn the tables, if the measures are appropriate, maybe it is really possible to win, but this is also a key, it still depends on the face of the prince of Huluo, and there are still 10,000 horsemen in the Chinese army of the Fold Clan, and the horse army is too few, how difficult it is to disrupt their position.
Don't miss the opportunity, lose it again! At this time, it was too late to order the generals to deliberate, so they could only force the order unconditionally. Zhang Yue first sent an order for Hao Tianying's horse army to join Hou Zhang's cavalry and deal with the Uighur cavalry alone. If the enemy does not move, I will not move, and if the enemy attacks, I will try to hold them back.
After the three thousand cavalry of the six battalions of the Shuofang Army were quickly transferred to the left flank, the four infantry regiments of the Zhenyuan Army of the Chinese Army also advanced by 30 steps, the three regiments and three horizontal rows in the front remained unchanged, and the four regiments in the rear became vertical.
