"It's over."

At first, seeing Nan Jiyun's arrow missed, Wang rarely sighed in his heart.

If you can stop the momentum of the dog Rong light cavalry, retreat to the cliff over there, and defend according to the danger, maybe you can support it a little more and wait for your side to solve the battle.

But this arrow missed, and the dog's strength continued to decrease, and then there was trouble.

However, it was rare that Wang did not have time to feel sad for these people, and the number of these dogs was not much, and it was clearly aimed at him and his party.

It seems that the killing of the dog Rong ranger spies in the past few days has angered them, and they have this revenge, and it is also because of their own carelessness that they will be surrounded

At this moment, Wang Tian's pupils contracted suddenly, because he saw the scene of the dog being hit by an arrow and falling from his horse.

"It's ...... Blind, right? ”

And Nan Jiyun, who had just hit the target, was not nervous at all at this time, he quickly drew an arrow and opened his bow again.

It's another dog Rong who fell in response.

The two dogs who rushed first fell under the horse, and the third person shrunk into the horse's belly. Ye Chang shouted, "Shoot the man first", but before the sound stopped, the third dog Rong's war horse had already neighed, and the person stood up, and then fell.

With three arrows in a row, the arrows were among the arrows, so that no one would think that Nan Jiyun was blind. And the dog Rong was really careful, and there were also those who wanted to shoot at Nan Jiyun from afar, but they chased after them one after another, and Nan Jiyun used a strong bow, and every arrow came first, and then shot down three people, and then he was tired and slowly retreated.

When Wang's rare subordinates saw this scene, they immediately cheered and thundered, and their morale was greatly boosted, and Wang Rare was also surprised: "What a miracle shooter"

He also has good archers under him, and his own archery skills are not bad, but like Nan Jiyun, there is no one who hits six arrows in a row.

After the dog Rong was sluggish for a while, he immediately scattered left and right, and began to try to use his horse speed advantage to outflank everyone from both wings. The surrounding area is full of grassland wilderness, which is conducive to their expansion, and their horses are much stronger than Ye Chang and the others, just for a moment, they are already about to parallel with Ye Chang and the others.

"They told us we were going to retreat over there." Gao Shidao.

Ye Chang also saw it, but what could it be, they were now completely relying on Nan Jiyun to suppress each other, and others were useless.

"Let's hurry, monk, can you deal with them?" He looked to the good.

"Close and not afraid", be honest and honest.

"Nanba, Hugh has shot, and whoever moves a bow and arrow will shoot him to death. Monk, the approacher, leave it to you."

Nan Jiyun and Shanzhi agreed in unison.

Ye Chang secretly said luck in his heart, they were covered with robes, but there was armor underneath, which was originally Ye Chang cautious, half persuaded and half forced everyone to wear it, even under the robe of the good monk. If it weren't for that, Shanzhi said that he was going to fight with Dog Rong in close quarters, and Ye Chang was really not at ease

Nan Jiyun stopped shooting, Dog Rong was suddenly overjoyed, someone tried to approach, and found that Nan Jiyun really ignored it, so he shouted and rushed forward - the originally good archers were only a few shots, whether it was a person's arms and fingers or a bowstring, it was necessary to rest, so Dog Rong did not doubt it.

Shanzhi has a tall body, and this time on the plateau, Ye Chang handed over the two best horses to him and Nan Jiyun, and these two horses can barely act as war horses. The monk got Ye Chang's order, and he fell behind, and the weapon in his hand was the horse lance that was popular in the Tang Dynasty, similar to a spear.

The monk was not good at equestrianism, and he preferred to fight on foot rather than on horseback, but at this time he was not allowed to dismount. Seeing that he fell behind the most stubborn man, two dogs outflanked him. The monk didn't have the nervousness of Nanba when he first went into battle, and he didn't know if it was because he was nervous or because he had been assassinated more often with Ye Chang, he stabbed at the slightly faster dog Rong among them, and the dog Rong dodged and wanted to avoid it, but the horse lance followed him like a shadow, penetrating straight into the opponent's chest and picking it up.

And the knife in the hand of the other dog Rong has also been slashed in front of the monk.

A cruel smile appeared on the face of the dog Rong, in his opinion, this knife was bound to succeed, but the monk dodged in his busy schedule, and the person seemed to twist off the horse, and then the dog Rong felt that his neck was tight, and he was stuck by a big hand, and dragged him off the horse.

As he got stuck, the monk crushed his throat bone with all his might.

The monk carried one on the horse lance in his right hand and one stuck in the palm of his left hand, and held the two dogs aloft, as if they were approaching a suitable demonstration. A dog Rong who was close to the back was so frightened that he screamed in fright, repeatedly shouting "Padmasambhava" and "Padmasambhava"

The monk did not know who this Padmasambhava was, this person's fame was also recently introduced to the dog Rong, it is said that he is a monk who has attained the Tao and cultivated the secret method in the corpse forest cemetery, and has the magic power of ghosts and gods. Because the Dog Rong was not yet manifest at this time, some believers spread the divine power and prestige of Padmasambhava among the people in order to spread the teachings. At this time, when Inu Rong saw the strange power displayed by Shanzhi, he was immediately shocked, thinking that this legendary monk who was afraid of even ghosts and gods had finally come here

There are also bold people who want to shoot Shanzhi with arrows, but Nan Jiyun is holding a bow on Shanzhi's side and looking, whoever has a bow, he will shoot down first, so two arrows in a row, and the people who come to pursue have been killed by the dogs, and they are greatly depressed, and they dare not advance. When the outflankers on both sides saw this situation, they were also reining in their horses, and they didn't dare to make a detour to attack Ye Chang's back road.

"Keep retreating."

At this time, the situation stabilized, and Ye Chang said again.

Although they were deterred by the dog Rong for a while, after all, there were many of them, and the team saw that it was unfavorable here, so they divided more than 100 horses, obviously they had to leave Ye Chang and the others behind. But at this time, Ye Chang was not panicking, as long as he could retreat to the cliff, with Nan Jiyun's divine shooting and good and straight strange power, the price to be paid would be too great if Dog Rong wanted to capture it.

They retreated to the cliff and tied the horses to the stones, Ye Ying, Ye Ting and the others were also relieved at this time, Ye Chang ordered them to move all the stones that could be moved on the cliff. More than 100 riding dogs also joined the striker at this time, and did not wait for a while, and began to attack directly towards the cliff.

This time they were all much more cautious, Nan Jiyun fired three arrows in a row, but only one person was shot, or the monk grabbed a dog Rong who rushed up the cliff, and when the stone was like a stone, he knocked down several people in a row, and they all rolled down and fell to the ground, which made the dog Rong stop the attack.

The frontal assault was not possible, so the dog began to circle again, trying to go around the back of the cliff. They attacked from all sides, and for a while, the situation on the cliff was a little critical, but fortunately, the stones prepared by Ye Chang and Ye Ying Ye Ting and others came in handy at this time, and after more than ten people were knocked down, Dog Rong had to retreat again.

They dragged the wounded, leaving only the dead in front of the battle, Ye Chang estimated, plus the enemies killed when retreating, so far, Dog Rong has killed nearly twenty people.

"Will Inurong attack again?" Cen Shen said a little nervously.

He is the youngest among all the people except Ye Chang, only in his twenties, and he is the first to enter the battle formation, unlike Ye Chang, who has encountered several assassinations, and being able to survive to this point has already made Ye Chang admire him very much.

"If nothing else, they will attack again after a little rectification, and the dog Rong is a large number of people, nearly twenty people died, less than half of them, and their fighting spirit will not be shaken...... "Recalling the discussion of the ancient army in later generations, Ye Chang commented.

"Eleven Lang's intentions, if there is half of it, the fighting spirit will be shaken?"

"If there is half of it, the morale of the army will be unstable, and if it is more than half of it, the soldiers will retreat in fear and even collapse. Therefore, if it is not a decisive battle, before the casualties reach half of the army, we should think of ways to stabilize the morale of the army, and prepare to retreat if necessary. Ye Chang looked into the distance and remembered something in his heart: "Today, maybe only my Tang border army can bear more than half of the casualties." ”

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden thunderclap-like cry from there, but it was Wang who was rarely moved.

Although Dog Rong sent a small force to besiege Ye Chang, he did not relax the encirclement of Wang Rare, so when Dog Rong attacked the cliff, Wang Rare did not make any movement, neither support nor response.

But by this time, the dog Rong was demoralized because of the frustration of the attack, and Wang saw a rare opportunity.

At the sound of the order, the whole army shouted angrily, and the swords, spears, and horses that were originally placed were raised. Under the sunlight of the plateau, their blades were as sharp as snow and their nails were as red as frost, and after they shouted angrily, they suddenly fell silent, and then stepped forward.

It's only two hundred, and only half of the two hundred people really moved, but this step, Ye Chang saw it from a distance, but he had a feeling.

The mountains are moving.

It's a moving mountain

At this time, Wang rarely handled it very well, originally Dog Rong was very prepared for his side, but the setback on the other side made Dog Rong's attention slightly distracted, and its main general was also hesitating, whether to continue to divide troops to support that side, slaughter the small team of Tang people on the cliff, or go all out to attack the main force of Tang people on this side.

The dogs were all nomadic people, not only the main generals hesitated, but also those soldiers, so their formations dispersed, some of them were ready to go over to support, and the other part also turned their heads to look, although most of the attention was still on Wang Yuan's troops, but after all, they were distracted.

At this time, Wang Dian roared and began to advance, and the shock to them can be imagined.

In the border conflict, because the Tang Dynasty soldiers were strong and sharp, most of the dogs who only wore light armor could only compete with them by virtue of their numerical advantage and the geographical environment of the plateau.

The king did not let go of such an opportunity, and he ordered again: "Ride"

The cavalry on both wings also began to move forward, and in the middle of the cavalry, the crossbowmen followed. The direction of attack they chose was not to meet Ye Chang's side, but the Chinese army where the enemy's banner was located

The moment the arrows on both sides fired at each other, the foot soldiers who were originally just advancing step by step suddenly accelerated their pace - they were covered with iron armor, and it was impossible for them to charge for a long distance, but they could barely do it with these dozens of steps.

Ye Chang saw this scene on the high cliff and immediately held his breath.

This is a real war between ancient armies

It was as if two pieces of steel had collided together, and after a muffled sound, the two armies collided in one place. No, it is not accurate to describe it as hitting in one place, Ye Chang felt that it was more like a huge steamer squeezing a small fishing boat.

On the side of the Tang Army, which had a smaller number of people, it was a steamer, and the dog Rong, who had a larger number of people, was the small fishing boat.

The steamer squeezed hard into the small fishing boat, pushing the small fishing boat back again and again, but the steamer was not ready to let the other party go, and still kept breaking in, tearing, and after the small fishing boat was torn into two sections, it began to turn slightly to the right, and continued to expand the wound of the other party.

The fight lasted only fifteen minutes at most, maybe even shorter, and the fierce dogs had already scattered and fled, and there were more than fifty abandoned corpses on the ground, as well as flags and weapons. Most of the ownerless horses fled, and only a dozen or so were still wandering around the battlefield, waiting for their masters, who would never be able to get up again.

"This ...... This is not scientific," Ye Chang muttered.

In his impression, shouldn't cavalry have absolute superiority over infantry? Whether it's the movies and TV he's watched, or the literature he's seen, or even those video games, cavalry meets infantry, that's called riding and slashing...... But now, how did it turn into slashing and horseback riding?

Indeed, the Mo knife in Tang Jun's hand was not used to block horses but to cut people, which was unexpected by Ye Chang; The bows and arrows of the dog Rong people could not break the Mingguang armor on the Tang army in most cases, which was also unexpected by Ye Chang; The other party gave up the cavalry impact, and did not attack the Tang army's array at the first time, but chose to fight in a formation, which was still beyond Ye Chang's expectations—but so many surprises, it was more surprising than seeing a thousand riding dogs being chased by two hundred Tang troops and crying for his father.

However, Ye Chang quickly figured it out.

The so-called cavalry restraining the infantry is just nonsense by people with ulterior motives trying to create wolf totems, and the cavalry has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the Central Plains infantry equipped with iron armor with strong productivity is simply the natural enemy of those cavalry wearing leather armor. In another life, the Tartars, who preached the word of mounted archery, relied mainly on them in actual battles, and were still armoured soldiers

The greatest advantage of cavalry over infantry is that if you win, you can completely annihilate your opponent, and if you lose, you can escape with a small injury. This is a strategic advantage, and by no means a tactical advantage on the battlefield.

For example, in the battle in front of him, the Tang army, which was wearing iron armor and steel swords, killed the dog Rong like a slaughtered dog during the real battle, but the dog Rong only suffered dozens of casualties, so he immediately broke and fled, and if he was far away, he re-formed the formation and prepared to come again.

However, the generals of the Tang Army were probably familiar with the tactics of the dog Rong, and did not rush to clean up the battlefield, but lined up again.

The dog Rong, who had escaped for half a mile, gathered his troops, looked back, paused for a moment, and then began to turn away.

"Good"

Tang Jun's side, Ye Chang's side, all cheered. In the long history of the war between the Tang Dynasty and the dog Rong, this is just an inconspicuous border conflict, but victory is everyone's favorite, even if it seems a little small.

Ye Chang sighed quietly, and then he heard the same voice coming from his side, and when he turned his face to look, Gao Shi looked at him, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

However, Li Bai and Cen Shen, these two were more nervous, but now they have begun to chant poetry, Gao Shi soon joined them, but Ye Chang has other things.

There are a few ownerless war horses below, as well as the injured dog Rong who was not taken away, Ye Chang glanced at Shanzhi and Nan Jiyun, and then said to Ye Ying Ye Ting: "Go down, there is an undead dog Rong, you go and be stabbed"

"Huh?" Everyone has a hard time.

"If they rush up, they won't hesitate to give us a knife." Ye Chang said solemnly: "In the future, we will stay here for a while, and we will have to fight with the dog Rong, if anyone can't do it, they will give their lives to the dog Rong."

After giving the order, he rode alone and walked towards the Tang army.

This Heyuan military envoy has quite a military strategy, but it is worth befriending, at least in front of this army, the stronger the ability of his companions, the greater his security
