Chapter 223: The Fisherman Profits
"Kill-" Delehei's army divided into three echelons and rushed towards Li Hong's army in turn.
Delehei pressed at the back of the army, he had 8,000 elite cavalry by his side, in addition to the 5,000 iron cavalry used as a reserve, there were also 3,000 elite cavalry of his personal guard, these 3,000 people were to protect his safety, he did not think that he would send these 3,000 people to the battlefield, even when the battlefield was in a very dangerous situation, he did not think about it.
There were 6,000 elite horsemen in the first echelon of Delehei, and they urged their war horses, like crazy dogs, and rushed towards Li Hong's army.
"Shoot the arrows!" Li Duoqi ordered, and the three thousand iron horsemen beside him led the order and shot one after another at the enemy in front of him.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
A rain of arrows shot at Delehei's fine horseman, and the three thousand feathered arrows were very high, shooting on the body of the Tubo elite horseman, and the Tubo elite rider who was hit by the arrow fell off the horse fiercely, and was trampled to death by the war horses of his companions behind him.
It's just that how can a wave of arrow rain stop the charge of the Tubo people, and when Li Duoqi's iron cavalry shoots the second round of arrow rain again, Delehei's cavalry has already met with Zhao Zhongyong and the ghost cavalry.
"Shoot the arrows!" Li Duoqi ordered.
The three thousand iron cavalry shot a wave of arrow rain again, and this wave of arrow rain once again harvested the lives of 700 Tubo elite cavalry.
At this time, the six thousand elite horsemen of Tubo had already begun to fight with the army of Zhao Zhongyong and. Li Duoqi did not dare to release arrows at this time, for fear of hurting his companions. But he did not order the cavalry to retreat, but ordered the army to follow him and began to cruise around the battlefield, while shooting the Tibetan horsemen off their horses one by one without interruption.
This kind of shooting is not strong enough to kill, but the effect is very fast, a bit similar to the nomadic mounted shooting.
"Kill-" Zhao Zhongyong waved his sword and fiercely met a Tubo cavalry who killed him. Immediately I heard the sound of "poof-", just when the scimitar of the cavalry had not yet been cut, Zhao Zhongyong's war knife had already cut through his neck, "poof-" blood gushed out again, and it dyed Zhao Zhongyong's iron armor red at once, but Zhao Zhongyong was still unmoved, and continued to urge the war horse to kill his enemy, and the long knife was cut out again, and another head fell to the ground, and a Tubo cavalry was cut down on horseback by him.
Zhao Zhongyong's Tubo elite cavalry was also infected by his killing, and when facing his companions, they were extremely ruthless, their combat effectiveness was already stronger than that of Delehei's elite cavalry, plus they were infected by the boss's killing, and their scimitar slashing speed was not slow, just before the enemy could react, they had already cut off the opponent's head.
Although the number of the four hundred elite horsemen behind Zhao Zhongyong was small, their combat effectiveness was extremely strong.
Therefore, under the leadership of Zhao Zhongyong, they were like a feather arrow, cutting through the formation of the six thousand elite cavalry of Dele Black and killing a pair of piercing.
The combat effectiveness of the ghost horse of the is also inferior to that of Zhao Zhongyong's elite horse. As the personal guards of the king of Tibet, they are very well-equipped, riding the best war horses, using the best war knives, wearing the most sophisticated armor, plus they are the most fierce warriors in Tibet, such a cavalry on the battlefield, the combat effectiveness can be imagined.
So when Delehei's army encountered the ghost rider of the, the ghost rider's anger at Delehei for robbing him of his money exploded, and each soldier of the ghost rider vented his anger on his sword, and when the sword was swung, a Tibetan cavalryman fell off his horse. The kills the most, and the scimitar he uses is also like Zhao Zhongyong's, which is specially cast, so when the long knife is cut out, he can take away the two Tubo spirit horsemen who rushed towards him.
The and ghost riders were different from Zhao Zhongyong's army, Zhao Zhongyong's army was too small in number, and when they rushed up in the Tubo elite cavalry, they were like a feather arrow, and they pierced through the formation of Delehei's six thousand people at once.
The slaughter of the' three thousand ghost riders was shocking as they rushed into Delehe's army of six thousand, and as they advanced step by step under the leadership of the, like bulldozers, they advanced before they slashed the enemy one by one.
The speed of this advance was terrifying, because where they passed, all the Tibetan spirits fell to the ground, and they all cut them down.
When Zhao Zhongyong killed a round trip again, the army of also penetrated the formation of Delehei's six thousand elite cavalry, and Delehei's six thousand elite cavalry suddenly had less than one thousand left.
"It's terrifying, it's shocking."
The soldiers watching the battle, whether they were Tubo people or Tang people, all sighed in their hearts when they saw this scene.
This cavalry is simply a meat grinder!
When Li Hong saw this scene, he was very satisfied with the combat effectiveness shown by the ghost horse, which was the combat power that he hoped to see the Tubo spirit horse. As a nomadic people, Li Hong believes that the combat effectiveness of ghost riders is worthy of their identity, and it is the combat effectiveness that the nomads who dominated the world should have in Li Hong's mind.
Lu Dongzan's army looked down on Mangsong Mangzan's ghost cavalry, because this cavalry was stationed in the palace all the year round, although it was selected from the most elite soldiers in Tibet, but it had never participated in the war, and had not experienced the baptism of war.
Today, the and the ghost rider taught him a lesson, and made him clearly realize how strong the ghost riders are as the guardians of the palace.
"What is this idiot doing? How did he command? Lu Dongzan said angrily. 6,000 elite cavalry against 3,400 cavalry, killed by people, leaving less than 1,000 people, what is this concept? Or is it under his nose, how can this make him embarrassed to face Li Hong?
Just as Lu Dongzan roared loudly, Delehei also knew that he had made a mistake, so he immediately ordered the nine thousand troops up and down to continue the charge.
The 9,000 army had already seen the combat effectiveness of these two mixed cavalry, and this time they did not charge hard, but began to make a detour, surrounding the ghost cavalry of Zhao Zhongyong and the in the center. Nine thousand people besieged more than three thousand people were enough. But they forgot one thing, that is, Li Duoqi's cavalry. When they besieged the army of Zhao Zhongyong and the in the center, Li Duoqi's army began to cruise around, shooting arrows at the Tubo elite cavalry on the periphery.
"Ahh
"Ouch-"
The Tibetan elite cavalry screamed miserably, and people kept falling off their horses.
And when they left the team to chase and kill Li Duoqi's army, Li Duoqi led the army to retreat, if they pursued again, it would give Zhao Zhongyong and the a chance to escape, they didn't dare to do so.
Therefore, when the 9,000 Tubo elite cavalry besieged and killed the army of Zhao Zhongyong and the, Li Duoqi's army on the periphery caused them a lot of trouble and seriously weakened their combat effectiveness.
In an instant, because the containment of Li Duoqi's army made it difficult for the Tubo army of 9,000 to exert its true combat effectiveness, Zhao Zhongyong and the army of broke through the encirclement at once.
"Up—" Seeing this, Delehey sent the five thousand men around him as a reserve to the battlefield.
"Kill—" The five thousand men screamed and rushed to the battlefield when they heard Delehe's order.
At this time, there were only 3,000 elite horsemen left around Delehe.
When Lu Dongzan saw this scene, the anger in his eyes became even heavier, because he knew that Delehei had already suspected him, so he didn't go to the battlefield to fight in person, and left 3,000 people around him as personal guards.
It's just that at this time, he can't say anything about Delehei, because the war is going on, and it is unwise to reprimand Delehei at this time.
In addition, just now Lu Dongzan ordered to kill the general of Delehei on the battlefield, and when he saw this scene, a mouthful of old blood almost gushed out. How could Delehe, a cautious man with three thousand elite cavalry guards by his side, be able to kill the other party? But he couldn't help but complete the Prime Minister's order......
At this moment, this military general actually had the idea of escaping and surrendering Li Hong in his heart.
He felt that he still had a chance to survive if he escaped or surrendered to Li Hong, and now according to Lu Dongzan's order, he really didn't have a life to hold the meeting, and he was either killed by Delehei's personal guards, or he was executed by Lu Dongzan for not completing the task.
"Kill-" The 9,000 army was indiscriminately killed by Li Duoqi in a rain of arrows just now, and was broken out by Zhao Zhongyong and the, and the people who were killed turned on their backs, their morale plummeted, and their combat effectiveness dropped a lot. But the five thousand elite cavalry joined the battle group again, and they were supported by the new forces, and they used the advantage of numbers to once again burst out with unprecedented fighting intent, and suddenly suppressed the momentum of Zhao Zhongyong and the ghost cavalry.
At this time, there were more than 10,000 Tubo elite horsemen, and Li Duoqi's long-range shots on the periphery did not pose much of a threat to them.
In a moment, Zhao Zhongyong and the army of fell into passivity.
"Your Highness, Zhao Zhongyong and the can't stand it, do you want to let General Li fight?" Seeing the precarious scene on the battlefield, Chen Gong reminded in a whisper on the side. If Zhao Zhongyong and the army of collapsed, the impact on them would be great, and it was likely that their defense would also collapse. However, Li Hong still shook his head and did not speak. Chen Gong was quite puzzled, why didn't he send Li Duoqi Iron Cavalry to support him at this time?
"The person Li Duozhu's army is dealing with is Lu Dongzan." Li Hong opened his mouth and said, "You have to believe in the strength of Zhao Zhongyong and the, their subordinates can collapse so quickly, and they are not worth cultivating alone." ”
Chen Gong was shocked when he heard this, Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince taking the postgraduate examination Zhao Zhongyong and the?
"Your Highness means ......," Chen Gong stopped when he wanted to speak. Li Hong said with a smile, "The is good, the force is very strong, and his ghost cavalry combat effectiveness is not weak, if he destroys Lu Dongzan this time, and asks Mangsong Mangzan for this elite horse, do you say he will not give it?" ”
"Such a fine horseman, if used well, is a sharp weapon on the battlefield." Li Hong continued.
"Your Highness, the last general heard that there are a total of 8,000 ghost riders around Mangsong Mangzan, and now only 3,000 are sent, and there are 5,000 people around him." Chen Gong said. If his words were heard by Mangsong Mangzan, he would definitely be half angry. This is a naked admonition to Li Hong, and the five thousand ghost riders of Mangsong Mangzan were also collected.
"Three thousand is enough." Li Hong said with a smile, how could he not know what Chen Gong meant. However, the ghost riding of the Tubo Palace's guard iron cavalry, just like the Tang Dynasty's Qianniuwei, Li Hongneng asked for 3,000 men and horses, and it was a bit too much to ask Mangsong Mangzan for the remaining 5,000.
"Kill-" Zhao Zhongyong roared angrily, slashed over a Tubo spirit rider with a knife, and he rode his horse towards the not far away. He knew very well that the soldiers around them were constantly falling, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not yet asked Li Duoqi to support him, which meant that he had a bigger opportunity, and now what he had to do was to unite the, let the armies of the two sides become one, and continue to delay time to buy more time for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make more layouts.
The also clearly felt that he was under great pressure, and the number of soldiers around him had fallen, but he was still not afraid of the enemies who rushed up, and still slashed and killed his Tibetan companions one by one.
He's the palace guard, and he's also been trained to be a commander who only kills, and he doesn't have much in mind right now, just killing, killing, or fucking killing.
However, he also noticed that Zhao Zhongyong was approaching him, so he urged the war horse to start moving in Zhao Zhongyong's direction.
Both of them knew what each other meant, and in a few breaths, the two came together.
", we have to join forces to continue to resist, and we want to buy time for Your Highness." Zhao Zhongyong said. The didn't ask why, he just nodded slightly, and listened to Zhao Zhongyong's opinion.
The two joined forces together, and once again burst out with a powerful war knife, turning the Tubo elite riders around them on their backs, once again stabilizing the precarious battlefield form.
When Li Hong saw this scene, a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"And they did." Chen Gong said happily.
"They all have this potential, and as long as they are given the opportunity, there is nothing they can't do." Li Hong said. He knows people like and Zhao Zhongyong too well, and he is also a person who is good at training such generals.
"In this way, Lu Dongzan is afraid that he will not be able to sit still!" Chen Gong said.
Li Hong didn't answer him, does what Lu Dongzan want to do matters to him now? Actually, it doesn't matter at all, it really doesn't matter. Because his bureau has been laid out, now his task is to start slowly closing the net.
Lu Dongzan, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw the reversal of the form on the battlefield, and the anger on his face became even stronger. The 20,000-strong army can't match the opponent's more than 3,000 cavalry plus 3,000 archers, and Delehei's command ability is too scummy, right?
This is really not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates.
"Prime minister, do you want me to lead someone to go immediately?" A military general asked Lu Dongzan for battle, he really couldn't stand the feeling of being abused by the enemy on the battlefield. Lu Dongzan said coldly, "Don't worry, be steady, Li Hong hasn't revealed his cards yet, we can't act rashly." ”
"This, but the form of the battlefield—"
"On the battlefield, the form is clearer than you, the original appearance should know how to do it, you don't need to do it, you just wait for the order of the original appearance." Lu Dongzan reprimanded loudly.
"Yes." When this military general heard this, he didn't dare to ask for any more battles. Lu Dongzan had a gloomy face, and turned his gaze to Li Hong
