Chapter 267: Turning the Tide of the War
So after Xiao Tiancheng's military order was just passed down, the 30,000 elite cavalry in the big tent of the Chinese army instantly entered the state of battle, and even Xiao Tiancheng himself was holding a special Tang knife made of stainless steel and rushed to the front on horseback under the protection of the guards, hundreds of crossbows were lined up, and small stone-throwing vehicles were also pushed to the forefront of the camp one after another.
And at this moment, the hundreds of thousands of Li Heng's subordinates who were chasing the 20,000 pioneers around the camp were also rising, constantly galloping towards the direction where Xiao Tiancheng and them were, and the ground shook with the sound of killing, which made people shudder a little.
"General, they are still nine hundred meters ......away" "Okay, tell the soldiers to stabilize first, and make way when the vanguard army comes, and the heavy armored army will rush in immediately after the crossbow stone throwing cart attack, only to slash, and then the light cavalry will escort them to prevent the enemy's infantry from stumbling with spears and horse ropes......" As soon as Xiao Tiancheng's words fell, the vanguard who was responsible for attracting the enemy army before also retreated like a tide from the gap where the army was scattered, Then, the crossbows and stone throwers that had been set up in the previous position were like a storm, and thousands of arrows were fired in unison, suppressing the enemy's hundreds of thousands of troops in front of the formation.
"The handsome man is not good, it is Xiao Tiancheng's torn crossbow, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has explained to us before that this crossbow is the killer weapon of the thief army, should we avoid their edge first!" "Avoid! Did you avoid it? The soldiers of the three armies were ordered to raise their shields and rush in, and in front of them was their Chinese army camp, if they retreated at this time, there would be no more this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they would kill Xiao Tiancheng's merchant gold and 10,000 fiefdoms and thousands of households...... Come on! As a rare fierce general in the Qinghe Urging clan, at this time he was almost red-eyed, he, looking at the Xiao Ziqi close at hand, he seemed to have seen the throne of the prince who could glory for a hundred generations beckoning to him.
In addition, the order he got was to wipe out Xiao Tiancheng's troops under Youzhou City at all costs, and after more than two months of hard fighting, no matter what he tried by all means, he could not assault Xiao Tiancheng's big tent, but today it seems that God has opened his eyes, Xiao Tiancheng's 20,000 vanguard army is unexpectedly attacking the enemy, and he urged the household to gather more than 100,000 troops together and wait for this moment.
Of course, as a famous general who has fought dozens of bloody battles with the Turkic army, he will naturally think that this is very likely to be the opponent's plan to lure the enemy into depth, but he has the prince Li Heng's warrant to destroy the enemy in his hand, and he really can't delay the time to confront Xiao Tiancheng for a long time, and this is another reason that he thinks that the strength in his hand is several times that of the enemy. In addition, the enemy's Chinese army was camped in the wilderness, and there was no ability to defend at all.
More importantly, the three armies under his command were all assembled by the private soldiers of the local wealthy clans, and they had long lost their sharpness after months of hard fighting, and the reason why they were still able to obey their orders and did not defect was also driven by interests, if they really delayed until the last resort, and they wanted to fight a decisive battle with the enemy when they could not see the hope of victory, then the result could be imagined.
After thinking about these things in his heart, he immediately ordered the drummers to blow the signal of the general attack without hesitation, even if the sword rain was flying in front of him and the flint was rolling, he still pulled the reins without hesitation, lifted the lance and rushed to the front.
And when the enemy's 20,000 vanguard completely retreated into the barrier intercepted by the army, those crossbow arrows and throwing stones also stopped attacking, and when their more than 10,000 cavalry killed in front of the formation, Xiao Tiancheng's pikemen and shield soldiers were desperately blocked, after seeing such a scene, the urging Hu who was sitting on the war horse couldn't help but show a contemptuous smile on his face.
"General Lin, hurry up and order the Chinese army, the rear army will all press up, and the left and right flanks must not leave a single gap, and Xiao Tiancheng must not be allowed to have any respite...... Tell the soldiers that this battle is not just a decisive battle, but the last stop, after this battle, we will immediately return to Youzhou to drink celebration wine...... ""Oh! When several pioneer lieutenants who followed the urging left and right heard this, they immediately smiled and became happy.
Because judging from the current battlefield situation, the judgment he made must not be wrong, because Xiao Tiancheng's 50,000 remnants of the army have long been surrounded by 150,000 legions, even if he really grows a pair of wings at this moment, he is afraid that he will not be able to fly out. But just when they held their breath and took turns to increase their forces to storm the main gate of Xiao Tianchengcheng's camp, something happened to them that was unbelievable, that is, around the enemy's Chinese army camp, a heavy armored cavalry squad of about 1,000 people suddenly killed one after another, each of them rode a mount that was a head taller than the enemy's war horse, and the Tang Mo sword in his hand was the Tang Mo sword that had terrified countless enemy troops.
Everywhere he went, it was like entering a no-man's land, especially at such a close distance, it was easier to kill the opponent than to chop melons and vegetables, so the two wings of the original strong fighting spirit were instantly defeated, if it weren't for the urging and the generals to see it with their own eyes, he would never have dreamed that his tens of thousands of people would be chased and killed by more than 1,000 people on the other side in an instant.
"This ...... This...... Look, general, they still have heavy cavalry! What to do? "What to do? What else can I do, let the infantry disperse! Get on the chariot formation! Come on! "But as the general of the household urging passed to the rear, it seemed that it was too late, Xiao Tiancheng's thousands of heavy cavalry rushed from all directions to kill hundreds of thousands of troops in several directions, wantonly slashing and slashing, as if thousands of hungry wolves fell among the sheep, although the household urging department was also trying their best to fight to the death, but in the face of the invulnerable armored cavalry, their attack was like tickling and had no effect at all.......
Soon the will to fight of more than 100,000 people collapsed in an instant, and they fled in all directions, and some of them even discarded the blades in their hands in fright, but what made them even more frightened was that as the heavy armored cavalry could not be pursued for a long time, after retreating, it was followed by tens of thousands of lightly armed cavalry with Changmo knives led by Xiao Tiancheng himself.
In about two hours, urging Hu watched his 150,000 army being gradually cut down and killed, and he had no other solution than to be escorted by his guards and flee...... "Why do you want to stop the general!" Xiao Tiancheng, he is asking me to urge a certain old life! Urging is really shameless to go and meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again...... Let me die with the soldiers!" ”
"General...... Now that most of the defeated soldiers have escaped, as long as we quickly rush to Youzhou City, they will also gather back one after another, and the reason for this victory or defeat is unknown! How can you be so discouraged, he Xiao Tiancheng can't take those heavy armored cavalry to attack the city! The subordinates just carefully observed their formation, and most of them went into battle lightly, and they didn't even carry grain and grass! In this way, they must want to rush to Youzhou with lightning speed, we must be one step ahead of him! ”-->
