Chapter Forty-Six: The Duel Against the Cavalry

After a night of fighting in Anshi City, the sky was already bright. Top Novel,

Luo Shixin had already set up a position and drew a line.

Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen may not be famous generals in the world, but their playing style is very mature and stable. Put yourself in your shoes, I'm afraid that Luo Shixin will also use the corresponding style of play, and there will be a little change in the details at most.

Luo Shixin has always shown his weakness of being weak and tired, in the face of such a Tang army, Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen, who have an army of 100,000 and are recuperating and recharged, do not need any tactical play at all, and directly win by numbers, and it is the wisest choice to bully fewer soldiers with more soldiers. Only in the case of disadvantage, will the fire take the chestnut, in a completely advantageous situation, the fire will only lead to the fire**.

Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen's decision was not wrong, the only thing that happened was that they didn't know that Luo Shixin still had 20,000 strange soldiers in his hands.

The key to this battle also lies in whether Luo Shixin, Li Daozong, and Su Dingfang can withstand the rush of the 100,000-strong army in the disadvantageous situation of few soldiers and fatigue, and there is no doubt about victory. can't resist it, and the result is obvious.

So at the beginning, Luo Shixin appeared at the head of the formation, the forefront of the Chinese army's battle formation.

Looking at the nondescript cavalry in front of him, Luo Shixin said strangely: "The earthen buns that popped up there, this shouldn't be a Goguryeo soldier, right?" ”

Goguryeo is also the first overlord of Haidong, although the armor rate of this soldier is not as good as that of the Tang army, but it will not let the soldiers under his command bare-chested and bare-backed, with a cape, most of them shaved their heads left and right, leaving a small braid, and huge earrings on the left and right ears. Dressed in the skin of a wild boar, he looks like a barbarian. Luo Shixin's sentence "soil buns" is extremely vivid.

"It should be the Heishui Ya tribe, I remember that Goguryeo and Heishui Ya interacted with each other. The Black Water Warrior sent troops many times to help Goguryeo against the enemy. Before Liu Renliang set out to conquer Goguryeo, he had a detailed understanding of the situation up and down Goguryeo, and even the Heishui Turtle also noticed it, and paid enough attention to it, and said cautiously: "Don't underestimate this black water Eagle, they make a living by fishing, hunting and animal husbandry, and the whole clan maintains the same life as the army in order to survive in the harsh environment in the Northeast, and they can catch tigers on the mountain." It can fight in the water, and it is very strong. Especially when it comes to fighting, everyone will die. Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen actually sent them out directly, which shows the heart of a quick decision. ”

"Black Water Spirit!" Luo Shixin subconsciously touched the beard on his chin, feeling that these words were very familiar, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, thinking of the bridge where Xiao Feng met Yan and Ah Gu in Changbai Mountain in order to save Ah Zi in "Tianlong Babu", this black water is not the ancestor of the Jurchen clan, and successively established the Jin and Qing dynasties in their Central Plains Dynasty. The clan that brought devastating disasters to their Central Plains Dynasty?

"Hey! Lao Tzu hasn't looked for you yet, but you have sent it to the door! Luo Shixin muttered to himself, and then laughed: "The knight of the Black Water Devil is not easy to deal with, and the warrior of my Datang Dynasty is good at stubble?" ”

His face straightened. jumped out of the crowd and looked at the neat line in front of him, but it was difficult to hide the tired soldiers on his face. The prancing horse shouted, "Soldiers, I know you're tired. Thousands of miles to conquer. It's not easy. But we've come this far, one step ahead. It is glory, merit, and the capital of Goguryeo, and our efforts and sacrifices will have a perfect result. Conversely, if we take a step back, we have nothing. Along the way, the victories we have won, the hard work we have put in, including the achievements we have made, will be in vain. When we return home, no one will remember our glory, only our shame. No matter what you think, I, Luo Shixin, will not be willing to let the efforts made along the way come to nothing. ”

The soldiers were in a commotion, and the Tang Dynasty Shangwu rewarded the meritorious soldiers very highly, and after the victory of the war, most of them gained fame and fortune. Along the way, to this day, none of the surviving soldiers have made meritorious deeds, and this merit means glory and a happy life in the future. It has all reached this point, and who is willing to give up, almost all the soldiers showed an unwilling look in their eyes.

Luo Shixin raised a hand to signal them to be quiet, and continued: "I, Luo Shixin, have not been defeated since I led the troops, and this time is the same. I don't want to blame this first failure, so we're ...... Win. His words contain an incomparably strong self-confidence, as if he has the power to convince people.

Under Luo Shixin's deliberate reminder, all the soldiers thought of Luo Shixin's brilliant achievements: he has never won more battles with less in his life, and defeated several times the enemy again and again, how can this time be an exception?

They are unwilling to give up, and with an invincible commander like Luo Shixin, what else do they have to worry about?

Persistence is victory, they are very tired, but they are not tired enough to raise their weapons, and they can't kill the enemy!

"Victory, victory, victory......"

The high fighting spirit made them forget their tiredness and high spirits.

"A group of dirt buns with no armor dare to come to fight with my Datang Xiaoqi? Everyone, let's take a look at the marshal's lesson, teach this group of dirt buns in the mountains, and give them a little color......" he said, giving the order for the cavalry to go out into battle.

After a while, as the dull and dense war drums sounded rapidly, hundreds of flags at the head of the formation waved, and the black-clad Tang army rode out of the battle.

It was impossible for an army of 100,000 to rush up, and the battlefield chosen by Luo Shixin deliberately limited the advantage of having more Goguryeo soldiers and could not accommodate so many soldiers and horses.

The knights of the Black Water Warriors who came to attack were the vanguard troops, with five thousand men.

Without hesitation, Luo Shixin also ordered 5,000 cavalry to press the incoming enemy.

The speed of the two cavalry is not fast!

Because the area where they fought was not the grassland, but the foot of the potholed mountain, the mounts of the cavalry on both sides were no longer high-headed horses that valued speed and explosiveness, but dwarf ponies who were good at surviving in harsh environments. The pony has amazing endurance and can climb mountains and wade through water, but its speed is the biggest shortcoming. But thanks to Luo Shixin's history and foresight, he replaced all the war horses with short Mongolian horses before the expedition, which could withstand the bitter cold of Liaodong and did not drag the war horses seriously like Li Shimin.

Both sides have approached at a certain speed, and the Tang Army's scientific and technological superiority has been revealed.

With Luo Shixin's order, the Tang Jun cavalry took out the hand crossbow on horseback almost at the same time, and countless sharp arrows and flying stones were like locusts covering the cavalry!

In an instant, the formation of the indigo cavalry was in chaos, and the hundreds of indigo cavalry who rushed to the front were the first to be baptized, and some of them dismounted without even saying a word. The strength of the crossbow arrows is a must, most of the cavalry are bare-chested and unarmed, and the only protective equipment on their bodies is simple pigskin clothes, how can they withstand the attack of crossbow arrows.

Luo Shixin was thinking about taking advantage of the chaos of the opponent's formation, and rushed forward to fight them, but he was surprised to see that the chaotic cavalry of the Spirited Cavalry was not affected at all, and continued to rush forward with a sullen head, those Martial Cavalry who shot to death with crossbows were like not their compatriots, and they did not feel the slightest sense of their death, which was only the performance of the elite brigades who were accustomed to death.

Luo Shixin was secretly surprised, and swallowed the order that he almost blurted out into his stomach, and he faintly noticed that although the other party's attack was not in the establishment at all, it faintly had a certain order.

When the cavalry of the Tang Army changed the crossbow arrows to load, the knights also rushed to the place of one stone.

Bending the bow and shooting arrows in one go, the knights of the Devil immediately showed extraordinary riding and archery skills, in terms of the speed of the cavalry and the bow, these knights were even faster than the Turkic cavalry, and the arrow feathers rushed towards the Tang army like a storm.

Luo Shixin, who took the lead, had already had a unique skill for the arrow rain, hanging the cloak on the tip of the spear, waving the spear, instilling the experience on the cloak, dancing into an air shield in front of him, and resisting the arrow rain outside the second zhang.

The other Tang soldiers also skillfully raised the wide bracer on their left arm to protect their heads, and rushed forward: the cavalry of the Tang army were wearing chain mail, and the chain mail had a miraculous effect on defending bows and arrows, as long as the arrow rain did not hit the brain, it was a few more arrows on the body, and it was not fatal.

Luo Shixin swept away the rain of arrows with his cloak, and suddenly felt strange, the strength on the cloak was very small, and he seemed to be a little overkill, and when he looked back at the situation of the Tang army, he couldn't help grinning: The Tang army only killed a dozen.

Luo Shixin saw that many cavalry had several arrow feathers inserted in their bodies, but those arrow feathers could hardly penetrate the chain mail on their Tang Army's body, and with the bumps of the cavalry when riding, most of the arrow feathers inserted in the cavalry fell to the ground on their own, leaving only a small sore on the soldier's body, which could not cause much casualties, and most of the dozen or so people who died were accidentally let the stray arrows hit the face door or injured the horses, and one accidentally fell off the horse and died.

Before Luo Shixin could react, the second wave of arrow rain hit again.

Luo Shixin was stunned and blocked the arrow feather again, and as far as his eyes could see, the cavalry was ready to shoot the third wave of arrows again, and there was no time to breathe.

This time there was preparation, and Tang Jun did not die even more......

"I see!" Luo Shi confidence turned, and when he understood the reason, the cavalry used hunting bows instead of war bows, hunting bows, as the name suggests, are used for hunting, and the range of the war bows used on the battlefield is much inferior, but the hunting bow also has the benefits of hunting bows, their loss of arm strength is minimal, and hunters who are often trained can shoot indiscriminately, and the war bow because it has to deal with the needs of battlefield armor piercing and penetration, the strength required is several times that of the hunting bow, even if the archers who have been trained for a long time cannot do the arrows that cannot be fired.

Although the hunting bow has a fast rate of fire, it is not powerful enough to break through the armor of the Tang army with chain mail......

Luo Shixin thought of this, and couldn't help laughing: "Tubaozi is Tubaozi." ”

At this moment, he didn't realize that the small wound of Tang Jun, who was hit by the arrow, was corrosive black......

The black water deer is good at using poison. (To be continued......)
