On the grassland, there was a strange scene, 30,000 Linghui troops were huddled together, forming a solid human wall, but they were retreating because of their large numbers, but the Turkic army, which was only more than 10,000 people, was actually launching a fierce attack on the Linghui army.

Because everyone was huddled together, the Linghui Army's sophisticated weapons and equipment could not be used at all, and they could only rely on crossbow arrows to counterattack, but even if it was the Linghui Army's crossbow arrows, in this case, it was difficult to exert the power it deserved.

As the Turkic army continued to attack in waves, the Linghui soldiers were pierced through their bodies one after another by sharp blades and fell in pools of blood.

The production process of such an artifact as spider silk armor is quite complicated, and there was no scientific assembly line during the Tang Dynasty, and the breeding of snow spiders in the Tianshan Mountains has not formed a scale, so even the strong financial resources of the Li Kingdom cannot make too many spider silk armor, and it is impossible to make one piece per person.

Most of the spider silk armor was rationed to an army like the Linghui cavalry, which needed to charge into battle frequently, and the infantry camp did not get a few.

Seeing the soldiers under his command continue to die tragically, Li Hao's heart is dripping blood.

Looking at the past, when did the Linghui Army fight such a bad battle?

"Hold on, our reinforcements will arrive soon!"

Li Hao gritted his teeth and kept wielding the overlord halberd, resisting the impact of the Turkic army with the soldiers, while constantly boosting morale.

Soon, there was a rush of horses' hooves in the Linghui army camp.

After Yuwen Chengyu saw Li Hao's call for help, he didn't dare to hesitate at all, and immediately rushed over with his people.

Seeing their own cavalry coming, the soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Linghui cavalry is the most elite type of troops in the Li Kingdom, and the flat terrain of the grassland is the most important time for them to play.

Seeing the Linghui cavalry coming out, he immediately commanded the army to stop the attack and began to gather troops to form a defensive formation, ready to meet the charge of the Linghui cavalry.

The terrain of the plains is indeed very suitable for cavalry combat, but because of the heavy rain for months, the grassland ground is extremely slippery.

The Linghui Army had little experience in fighting in such a dense grassland, and they didn't dare to be raised to the highest speed by the cavalry team for a while. The sharpness of the charge has been reduced a lot, and the Linghui cavalry, which has always been invincible and overwhelming, has attacked twice in a row, and it has not penetrated the enemy's formation.

Seeing that almost all the cavalry teams of the Linghui Army had gone into battle, even the sweaty cavalry team had come on the field.

The abandonment in the crowd sneered.

"Is this the world-shattering Linghui cavalry? Compared to my Turkic iron horse, it is simply vulnerable! ”

He sneered, and one of the warriors beside him immediately released a rattling arrow into the sky.

Only Hugh's quick whistle was heard, and the arrows burst out of the air, leaving a series of piercing sounds between heaven and earth.

Although it is not like the Linghui Army's arrows that explode and can convey some specific commands, the sound of the arrows expresses simple instructions or rubs them together.

After the arrow flew into the sky, a thunderous sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance of the pasture.

Li Hao was taken aback and looked around, only to see a cavalry team composed of tens of thousands of iron cavalry, rushing towards them.

At the head is a strong man wearing a giant bear mask.

"How is that possible!" Li Hao clenched his fists, and his tone was full of consternation.

The spies of the Linghui Army are well-trained, and Li Hao trusts them, they have just explored the ten miles around the camp this morning, and there is absolutely no possibility that there will be an enemy.

But the 10,000-strong infantry phalanx in front of him, and the tens of thousands of cavalry that suddenly appeared, where did these people come from?

Qi Su Erluo seemed to see Li Hao's consternation, and immediately laughed loudly: "Prince Zhen'an, you are still satisfied with this meeting gift!" ”

Li Hao clenched his fists without saying a word, and immediately made a few gestures to Yuwen Chengyu.

Yuwen Chengyu nodded hurriedly, and then led the cavalry team to abandon the infantry camp of the Turks and began to fight in a roundabout way with the enemy's cavalry team. Relying on the cavalry and archery troops led by Zhang Qi, they constantly harassed the enemy's cavalry, slowed them down, and helped the Linghui Army's infantry phalanx retreat back.

From the very beginning of this battle, Li Hao fell into the trick of abandoning Suelluo, at this moment, the opportunity was lost, and if he continued to fight, it would only increase casualties, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately retreated with the Linghui army, trying to return to the camp and regroup.

But how could Su Erluo give him such an opportunity, immediately command the troops in his hands, and attack Li Hao again.

The people on both sides fought together, and the Linghui army, which had long been exhausted, naturally couldn't defeat the Turks who still had physical strength, and they were defeated and retreated.

But fortunately, Li Hao's team did not leave the camp far, they fought and retreated, and soon returned to the outskirts of the camp.

"Rain of arrows to stop the enemy, everyone immediately return to the camp!"

Seeing that the camp was close at hand, Li Hao immediately yelled at the camp.

The next moment, countless archers armed with black crossbows ran out, using the method of projectile, constantly firing arrows into the main Turkic array, and under the cover of the rain of arrows, the infantry phalanx of the Linghui Army finally returned to the camp.

And at this moment, under the disadvantage of the slippery grassland, the Linghui cavalry gradually could not resist the enemy's offensive, and the formation of the flag on weekdays was difficult to maintain, so it was naturally impossible to move at will, and was actually cut off by the Turkic cavalry.

I finally got back to the camp.

All the people who went out to fight were already exhausted and out of breath, and almost lost half their lives.

This battle can be said to be the first defeat of Li Hao since his debut, and the rainbow-like momentum of the Linghui Army has also been completely suppressed.

As soon as the morale was rual, even the rain of arrows was weakened by three points.

Seizing the opportunity, he constantly commanded his troops and launched an offensive towards the camp of the Linghui army.

The tens of thousands of troops who had just gone into battle had completely lost their strength and could not engage the enemy at all. As a last resort, Li Hao could only send more troops to the front camp to help defend against the enemy.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a while, and each other was hurt.

And there was nothing wrong with Li Hao's guess, and he deliberately lost to the Linghui Army three times in a month, in order to find their weaknesses.

At this moment, in order to defend against the cavalry of the Turkic army, the crossbow bed in the camp has been moved.

It's just that the Turkic side has long been prepared, and as soon as they saw the bed crossbow being pushed out, they immediately broke up the formation, which greatly reduced the lethality of the bed crossbow that broke the formation.

And because the speed of the cavalry was too fast, the arrows of the crossbow broke the formation, and they continued to shoot into the air.

I didn't expect that just a rain would make the Linghui Army suffer such a big loss.

But this is nothing, after all, the number of Turkic troops is small at the moment, and fighting on the grassland, Li Hao and they will inevitably fall into a disadvantage, but now they can rely on the camp to hold on, and the Turkic team will not have any advantage for a while!

The two sides attacked and defended each other for an hour, each with damage.

The Linghui Army relied on its strong firepower to suppress it, and finally blocked the enemy's fierce attack.

The cavalry of the Turkic army lost more than a thousand, and the infantry phalanx suffered numerous casualties. But on the other hand, the Linghui army, the number of casualties is still higher than that of the Turks.

Suddenly, a soldier ran up and said to Li Hao in a panic: "Lord Wang, it's not good, the rear camp of our army has been attacked by the Turks, and the camp has been breached!" ”

Li Hao was shocked again, and three words suddenly popped up in his heart - serial scheme!
