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, Li Tao knew that they were death squads, and the purpose was to attract the ballista in the car formation to shoot arrows, but he did not dare to slack off at all, and as soon as the 1,000 Khitan cavalry entered the range of the ballista, he ordered to shoot.

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 the Khitan cavalry getting closer and closer, Li Tao 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.

"Lantian King, they're in!" Wang Haibin shouted.

Li Tao was also anxious, he turned around and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Yue, wolf thirteen, kill the horse!" ”

As soon as Li Tao's words fell, he saw two figures behind him 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 dismounted because Pei Yue and Wolf Thirteen slashed their horses' legs.

There are no Khitan cavalry without war horses. Just like a toothless wolf, it is much easier to deal with, and it was all killed by the Luzhou regiment in dozens of breaths.

I haven't had time to catch my breath yet. Li Tao'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 forward about thirty steps from the car formation, quickly pouring the contents of the pocket to the ground. Then he ran desperately into the formation.

"What is this?" Wang Haibin said strangely.

"This is the nail I invented, and it has four edges, so it just has to fall to the ground. It always has a sharp edge, and the cavalry's horse throws it and steps on the horse's hooves and it will rot, hehe, people fall down again......"

Between words. The two hundred Luzhou regimental exercises have returned to the car formation. And the two thousand cavalry were within a hundred paces. Li Tao 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 on the offensive in the third wave! Xue Ne shouted.

In the distance, the blackened cavalry kicked up a cloud of dust and swept in like a huge wave. This time, the Khitans were no longer retained, and more than 4,000 people on the left flank were overwhelmed.

Li Tao 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!" Li Tao 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.

Li Tao turned his head to Wang Haibin and Li Sijing and said, "Are you ready?" ”

Wang Haibin said solemnly: "Okay, we can set off at any time!" ”

Li Tao nodded and said: "I will listen to my orders later, if the Khitan cavalry on the front does not come to reinforce, we should not move." If they move, you must stop them, and you only need to fight for half an hour, and the cavalry on the left flank will be annihilated. ”

After listening to Li Tao's words, Wang Haibin was suddenly stupid and forgot to answer.

The Khitan cavalry has always been strong, and even the Turks did not dare to underestimate it. Over the years, the Khitan army has often won more with less against the Tang army, and basically has never been defeated. I don't know if Li Tao is invincible or fearless, he is so sure of this battle, the five hundred Luzhou regiment training against the four thousand Khitan cavalry, he actually wants to annihilate the other party, and it only takes half an hour, I am afraid that he dares to think like this in the world.

Li Tao saw that Wang Haibin stopped talking, and turned his gaze to the left wing again.

The Luzhou cavalry charging in the opposite direction was somewhat different from the Khitan cavalry, the Khitan cavalry was charging and waving the saber in his hand, while the saber of the Luzhou horse was unsheathed on the horse's back. In an instant, the two armies were a hundred paces away. At this time, the Luzhou cavalry began to move, as if by magic, they held a repeating crossbow in each hand at some point. Needless to say, the auxiliary soldiers had already loaded the crossbow arrows in the repeating crossbow, and the iron arrows shot at the galloping Khitan cavalry like locusts. With the momentum of the fast horse, the power of the crossbow arrows became even stronger, and the Khitan cavalry was caught off guard and suddenly fell down in a large area.

After the crossbow arrows were fired, the expensive Bianfa crossbow was dropped by the Luzhou cavalry without hesitation, and they took off the ash from their horses and threw their spears, and with their horsepower, they nailed the throwing spears to the Khitans.

The Khitans had never seen such cavalry, and in their opinion, the cavalry of the two armies launched a charge, and the final decision should be after the confrontation, and it was incredible that they could kill and injure each other in the process of charging like this. Under the repeated blows, more and more Khitan cavalry who rushed in front fell to the ground, and the cavalry behind was obstructed by their line of sight and did not know what to do, and when they found out, they had no time to rein in their horses and were tripped one after another. If you are thrown off a fast-running warhorse, you may not be able to die for a while, but you will definitely have no combat effectiveness.

Since the obstacles on the ground can trip the Khitan cavalry, they can also trip the Luzhou cavalry. Xue Ne and Wang Haibin watched the battle and saw clearly, just now the Luzhou cavalry killed and injured a large number of enemies, and before they had time to applaud, seeing that the Luzhou cavalry was getting closer and closer to the enemy, their hearts rose to their throats again.

When the Luzhou cavalry was only twenty paces away from the place where it fell into a piece, a miracle appeared, all the Luzhou cavalry were like a person, not only turned to the right in unison, but also neatly staggered. Because of this turn, the Luzhou cavalry avoided the tragedy of tripping.

The Luzhou cavalry, which turned around, did not slow down, but continued to rush forward from the flank of the Khitans. In this way, the Luzhou cavalry and the Khitans passed each other, although they both surpassed each other, but they had no chance to fight at all. (To be continued......)
