Chapter 187: Fighting!
(Thank you for the cute winter, ¥ Amin, ipooo, dandelion in the snow monthly pass, hien Han, zzxx1212 for the tip.) )
The next morning, the gate of Songzhou City was wide open, five thousand infantry dressed in plate armor, holding a shield in their left hand, and holding a horizontal sword in their right hand lined up in a neat phalanx, walking towards the trench with neat steps, behind these infantry were 1,500 archers with compound bows on their backs, and they also lined up in a neat line to follow behind the infantry, at this time, each soldier's expression was very strict, Shu was comfortable, and there were few war students, many of them were on the battlefield for the first time, and they were inevitably a little nervous in their hearts, but they thought that they had strict armor protection on their bodies, My heart is a little more settled.
The movement of the Songzhou defenders was soon learned by the Tuyuhun people, and Murong Fuyun summoned the generals under his command to discuss countermeasures, and he said first: "Everyone, the Songzhou defenders have been closed for many days without fighting, and today they suddenly put up a battle formation, which makes people wonder, whether we send troops or not. ”
After listening to the scout's words, Murong Shun continued: "Father Khan, the child has been in Chang'an for many years, and the Tang people are cunning, and now they only use thousands of foot soldiers to set up a battle formation, it must be deceitful, and it must be guarded against." ”
The Heavenly Pillar King pondered for a while, "Could it be that they planted ambushes in the mountains and forests on both sides, and deliberately used these soldiers as bait?" ”
"Well, that makes sense, now you immediately send scouts to search the mountains and forests left and right." Murong Fuyun nodded, "And immediately gather the army, our siege equipment is enough, if there is no ambush, we will attack the city today." ”
The King of Tianzhu answered yes and walked out of the big tent with a few generals.
After the infantry phalanx walked out, Qin Huaiyu and Niu Jinda led the cavalry to follow closely behind the foot soldiers, and when they arrived at the predetermined location, the soldiers all stopped.
Li Su and Zhu Youzhi stood on the city wall. Observing the movements of Tuyuhun's camp with a telescope, "Although the cavalry of Tuyuhun has gathered, it does not look like attacking. ", Li Su observed for a while and said.
"They must have thought that they were deceitful and did not dare to go out to battle lightly, and now they must be exploring the surrounding mountains and forests. Because only there is a possibility of an ambush. "Zhu You's heart has a way to become a bamboo.
Li Yu nodded and put down the binoculars, "Let Qin Huaiyu and Niu Jinda lead the cavalry to call for battle, and lead them over by defeat." ”
Zhu Youzhi answered, and called a herald to ask him to convey Li Su's order to Qin Huaiyu, and after a while. A horseman hurried out of the gates.
After receiving Li Su's order, Qin Huaiyu and Niu Jinda glanced at each other, and led the cavalry to cross the trench from the three-meter-wide passage road on the trench to Tuyuhun's camp. In order to concentrate troops to annihilate the cavalry, now Qin Huaiyu and Niu Jinda are leading the cavalry from above.
The road of three miles is a blink of an eye for the cavalry, and Tuyuhun's cavalry has been assembled outside the camp, divided into three roads, the middle army is led by Murong Fuyun, the left army is led by King Tianzhu, and the right army is led by Murong Shun. More than 30,000 cavalry put up a battle formation, staring at the 3,000 cavalry rushing towards Songzhou City.
"No wonder the Songzhou defenders dare to go out to fight, it turns out that they have new armor." Murong Fuyun sneered, not far away is the cavalry of Songzhou, these cavalry are all wearing silver-white plate armor, and the war horses under them are also covered with strict silver-white armor, like steel monsters, although Murong Fuyun said this, his heart is also a little empty-hearted, they have never seen such a cavalry, and they can't help but beat the drum in their hearts. But thinking that he was 30,000 cavalrymen, he became proud again.
"Khan, we have searched the mountains and forests within a radius of five miles, and there is not a single soldier present." A scout scurried over and said.
Tianzhu King said: "No ambush soldiers? Are these Tang people crazy? At this point, the soldiers dared to engage the 60,000 Tuyuhun army. ”
Zhu Youzhi predicted that Tuyuhun would only have 40,000 people, but he forgot that the nomads dismounted and were the people. Men on horses are warriors, and sometimes both men and women go to the battlefield, so although the 80,000 Tuyuhun army is boasted, there are still 60,000.
"Since there are no ambushes, what are you afraid of, you are now leading the left army to attack from the left to eliminate the Tang people's foot soldiers, and I command the Chinese army to engage this cavalry." Murong Fuyun turned his head to Murong Shun again, "You attack the Tang people's foot soldiers from the right side, after the two of you defeat the foot soldiers, surround this cavalry in a roundabout way, and let them not leave any of them." ”
"Yes!" Murong Shun and the Heavenly Pillar King took the order and left.
At this time, Qin Huaiyu and Niu Jinda's cavalry and Tuyuhun's army were no more than 100 meters apart, lined up neatly, looking at the dense Tuyuhun cavalry, Qin Huaiyu licked his dry lips, Niu Jinda caught a glimpse of Qin Huaiyu's action, and said with a smile: "Boy, I'm scared." ”
Qin Huaiyu said: "Don't be afraid, it's just that I was a little nervous when I went to the battlefield for the first time." ”
"Hahaha......" Niu Jin Dalang laughed, "I met when Yiguo Gong was in Wagangzhai, and later went to His Majesty with your father, more than 200 battles, every time he met the enemy, the enemy army had many strong generals who showed off their strength and strength, and then His Majesty would let your father rush into battle and kill the generals, and take the enemy level in the army of 10,000 people, what a brave force." ”
Niu Jinda's words made Qin Huaiyu's blood boil for a while, and his right hand holding the steel spear trembled slightly, "I won't lose to my father." ”
"Then dare you take a risk with Lao Niu today." Niu Jinda looked ahead and said.
Qin Huaiyu was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be that General Niu wants to use three thousand cavalry to attack Tuyuhun's army." ”
"Exactly!" Niu Jinda said with a smile.
Qin Huaiyu's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said, "Why don't you dare!" ”
"Okay, there's a kind!" Niu Jinda patted Qin Huaiyu on the shoulder.
After setting up the formation, Murong Fuyun nodded to the herald beside him, and the soldier picked up the horn, "Woo ......", and suddenly a loud voice spread throughout the Tuyuhun camp.
"Kill!" Murong Fuyun shouted, and the Tuyuhun cavalry rushed out like arrows from the string, the saber was raised, and the Tuyuhun cavalry screamed in their mouths and rushed towards the Songzhou defenders.
Qin Huaiyu and Niu Jinda glanced at each other, "Soldiers! Kill! ”
"Kill!" Although the number of 3,000 cavalry is not much, they are all the elite trained by Niu Jinda himself, and the roar is like thunder, even Li Su on the city wall heard it.
Li Su has been observing the shape of the battlefield, and when he saw the cavalry put on a battle formation, his heart suddenly cooled down, and he remembered that Niu Jinda was a person in history who dared to attack the 200,000 troops of Tubo with 10,000 people.
In Li Su's field of vision, Qin Huaiyu and Niu Jinda rushed out first, and the cavalry behind them also rushed out, Li Su scolded: "Qin Huaiyu, this bastard, how can he follow the coaxing!" ”
Seeing Li Su so annoyed, Zhu Youzhi said: "What happened to His Highness?" ”
"See for yourself!" Li Su gave the telescope to Zhu Youzhi.
"How did General Niu and Qin Huaiyu lead the cavalry to fight Tuyuhun head-on!" Zhu Youzhi was also surprised.
Li was angry, "When I was in Chang'an, I heard that Niu Jinda was assigned to Mianzhou because of the battlefield disobedience during the northern expedition against the Huns, and now I finally understand that this is true." ”
In history, Niu Jinda has made outstanding achievements, but there are very few records of him, Li Su still wonders what is going on, it turns out that this guy is the Tang Dynasty version of Li Yunlong, battlefield disobedience is commonplace, but he can fight, Li Su can be regarded as a leader this time.
"Your Highness doesn't need to be too angry, the form of the battlefield is changing rapidly, maybe General Niu has his own ideas." Zhu Youzhi said.
When the two were talking, Qin Huaiyu and Niu Jinda had already led the cavalry and Tuyuhun's cavalry to collide together, although the Songzhou cavalry was wearing duralumin alloy armor with high strength and light weight, but the real steel armor on the horse sitting down was full of weight, and Tuyuhun was a light cavalry.
So in Li Su's eyeline, the three thousand cavalry crashed into Tuyuhun's Chinese army in a cone-shaped battle formation, cutting through the brocade cloth like a sharp knife.
The soldiers in the front row of the Tuyuhun cavalry only heard the sound of broken bones and the screams of war horses in the moment they came into contact with this torrent of steel, and then they suddenly lost their center of gravity and were crushed by the war horses the moment they landed.
Qin Huaiyu brandished the silver spear like a killing god, and when the silver spear swept over, a Tuyuhun soldier fell off his horse, Niu Jinda's eyes were even more scarlet, and the horizontal knife in his hand had been dyed red with blood, and every time he went down, he was a Tuyuhun soldier.
The Tuyuhun soldiers fought hard by their numbers, but their swords slashed at the hard plate armor, and apart from the crisp sound of metal clashes, they could not hurt a single soldier at all.
The Tang army brandished a sharp horizontal knife and pierced the armor of the Tuyuhun soldiers, and they were not afraid in the face of the siege of three or four Tuyuhun soldiers, because they suddenly saw that these Tuyuhun soldiers could not hurt them at all, and the attack became more bold and fierce.
Murong Fuyun stood on the watchtower of the camp, and at first he still looked like he was winning, but he felt more and more that something was wrong, not only did the silver torrent not become less and less, but it was getting closer and closer to him, but the difference was that the silver gradually turned into the color of blood.
Qin Huaiyu and Niu Jinda led the cavalry to become more and more courageous, leaving behind the corpses of Tuyuhun soldiers all the way, after Qin Huaiyu picked a Tuyuhun soldier off the horse with a shot, Tuyuhun's Chinese army collapsed and retreated one after another, the eyes of those Tuyuhun soldiers were filled with extreme fear, they felt that they were not fighting with flesh and blood at all, but fighting with a group of steel giants "shoujiao", and their hearts were broken.
The Tuyuhun army was scattered, and Niu Jinda did not choose to pursue, because the camp of Tuyuhun was very strong, and there were a large number of foot guards inside, and rushing into it was equivalent to falling into a mud pond.
He led the cavalry to reline and divide into two ways with Qin Huaiyu's soldiers, and turned the direction of the attack to Tuyuhun's left army and right army, Murong Fuyun never expected that his plan to outflank not only failed, but was also outflanked by the Songzhou defenders.
