Chapter 120: Unstoppable

As the mountains and forests on both sides quickly retreated in sight, Luo Erhu led the eight thousand Wuping troops to gallop out of the ancient road, perhaps losing the cover of the trees, and the cool breeze began to hit the face unscrupulously, and as far as the eye could see, it was an open land with low bushes.

Such a scene, which was completely different from the place they had passed before, seemed to suddenly open up, and the feeling of depression in the hearts of the soldiers suddenly weakened a lot.

As the 8,000 soldiers and horses of the vanguard army on this trip, although they did not have time to be equipped with all kinds of new armor and blades of the ordnance superintendent, as a subordinate army under the command of Wuping Jiedu, Langzhou's own treasury was extremely full, and Li Yuan naturally did not hesitate to match the equipment that should be given.

Needless to say, the 5,000 armored infantry alone said that these 3,000 cavalry, since they are equipped with short and light Khitan war horses, the battlefield positioning is naturally not heavy cavalry, but they are still wearing heavy Southern Tang Dynasty armor, from generals to ordinary soldiers, not chain mail, at least fish scale armor, and in addition to the necessary swords on the waist, more than half of them are equipped with spears, called light cavalry, in fact, the weight on the body is not much easier than the infantry.

When Luo Erhu ordered the whole army to march quickly, the eight thousand armored soldiers could only line up in a tight long line in the narrow ancient road, because the road was crowded and winding, the formation could not be dispersed at all, but the marching speed had to be guaranteed to prevent falling behind, so the armor between the soldiers on the march often inevitably collided with each other, enduring the pain caused by the friction of the iron armor.

The cavalry had to be more cautious, not only galloping at high speed, but also ensuring an appropriate distance between the front and rear, in case the team suddenly stopped, with the inertia generated by the weight on the body, it was not as simple as a person turning on his horse.

At this time, as soon as they came out of the ancient road, in addition to the surrounding environment was no longer depressing, the marching formation was also able to spread freely, and the faces of the soldiers of the Wuping Army were much soothed.

Luo Erhu, who led the army in front, did not have any superfluous thoughts, since he had successfully left the ancient road, he only wanted to arrive at Huixi Village quickly and complete the task assigned by the coach Li Yuan, so he decisively ordered the whole army to turn westward and go straight to the mountain where the silhouette was faintly visible.

Not long after, the infantry formation located in the rear of the army had just reached halfway, and suddenly out of nowhere, a few strange horns sounded sharply, and several pelican birds that stayed on the bushes in the wilderness flew up one after another.

I saw that on the large empty field in front of me, from the low weeds everywhere, countless brute soldiers suddenly appeared out of thin air, all naked and naked with grass and trees to cover up, their faces were depicted with hideous and terrifying pictures, and the barbarians in the front row held their bows tightly in their hands.

"Enemy attack!"

Looking at the barbarian soldiers who suddenly attacked all over the mountains, the number was obviously not less than their own, and the soldiers in the Wuping army showed frightened looks, and the team was uncontrollably crowded.

Several lieutenants hurriedly shouted: "Don't mess around! Don't mess around! ”

Luo Erhu, who was shouldering a heavy responsibility, was not afraid, took the lead in turning the horse's head, raised the spear in his hand, opened his eyes and shouted: "Soldiers! These barbarians are here! Meritorious service, right now! Kill them all, not a single one! ”

Hearing the commander's loud order, although in a panic, the soldiers of the Wuping Army, who were usually well-trained, finally came to their senses, and then regained their cautiousness, and the eight thousand cavalry quickly turned their guns and formed an attacking formation.

The three thousand cavalry followed closely behind Luo Erhu, lined up in a conical phalanx and began to accelerate slowly, and soon entered the charging distance, and then the earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded in unison, the horses' hooves trampled, the dust flew, and poured towards the barbarian array like a sea of mountains.

In the face of the Wuping soldiers and horses roaring under the black pressure, the barbarians who have always been not good at frontal combat are unusually unusual, all with strange expressions on their faces, while staring at the sharp edge of the Dao spear and approaching quickly, while making the same posture unhurriedly, each of them took out a cloth bag the size of a purse from their waists, quickly hung it on the arrow, and then under a sharp brute command, they all raised their heads and bent their bows and arrows.

"Whoosh!"

"Hugh!"

Luo Erhu led the vanguard cavalry to a hundred paces away in a blink of an eye, and then heard a neat and powerful bowstring sound in the barbarian array in front of him, and then countless arrows were lost like pouring heavy rain, ruthlessly poured down on the head.

For a while, the horses galloped wildly, screaming for a while, although the soldiers of the Wuping army had armor protection, but it was still difficult to resist the strong bow and crossbow, and the hundreds of cavalry who rushed to the front were shot and fell off their horses, falling at high speed, people and horses rolled on the ground at the same time, plowing on the gravel and dust, and then being trampled by the cavalry who came one after another, and the huge impact instantly crushed the men and horses into minced meat.

"Hugh!" The barbarians did not hesitate, and the second and even third rounds of bows and arrows soon attacked like locusts flying in the sky, and instantly took away a large number of Wuping cavalry, and their lives ended in weeds and shrubs, and the originally dry soil on the wilderness was infected by the flesh and blood of countless clay lakes, and was trampled by thousands of hooves, and gradually stirred into a strange dark red color.

The shouting of killing was deafening, the arrows above his head flew wildly, Luo Erhu tightly grabbed the reins with one hand, waved the spear in his hand with the other, and struggled to knock down the arrows that were shot at him, the black cloak on his body was hunting, and the war horse under his crotch also became restless because of the owner's deliberate speed.

Seeing that the soldiers beside him screamed and died one after another before they could engage in battle, Luo Erhu's eyes were already on fire, but he couldn't look back, so he could only grit his teeth and continue to gallop forward, because he knew in his heart that the mission of being a cavalry was to move forward, how could he rush to stop the charge at high speed, the battlefield was full of dangers, and it was normal to suffer losses when breaking the formation, even if the sacrifice was tragic, it was expected.

What's more, the brute soldiers are poorly equipped, and today they dare to expose half of their bodies, which is equivalent to having no protection, so frontal combat is the best way to completely solve them.

Luo Erhu was very sure in his heart, these barbarians were ambushed here, which was tantamount to asking for their own death. The flesh could not resist the iron hooves, as long as it was killed into the barbarian formation at any cost, the sharp blades carried the flesh and blood, and the enemy formation would definitely collapse, and then the army could keep up with the close combat, which was a crushing slaughter.

The next moment, Luo Erhu finally galloped in front of the barbarian formation, but saw an arrow miss and roared towards the door at a high speed.

"Phew!" Luo Erhu roared angrily and dodged, and the war horse under his crotch seemed to have a good heart, but he jumped up in time without the master's reins, and one man and one horse were like a black lightning, crashing into the barbarian formation alive, and immediately shoveled several barbarians who rushed forward a few feet away.

The main general Luo Erhu took the lead in breaking the formation, and the cavalry of the Wuping Army behind him quickly rushed to arrive, although hundreds of horsemen had died on the way, there were still no less than two thousand cavalry along the path of Luo Erhu's broken formation, and the spears began to wreak havoc and stab in the dense barbarians. The bright spear rose and fell, and advanced all the way to the north, and suddenly the formation of the barbarians was shattered, and the sound of the spear cutting through the flesh and blood rang out in all directions!

Faced with the edge that relied on the huge inertia to sweep by, the naked barbarians had no choice but to pick up all kinds of strange weapons in their hands, including copper rods, iron hammers, scimitars, and short swords, and then used their own flesh to force them up.

In an instant, on the wilderness within a radius of several miles, there was a dense crowd of figures fighting each other, and the Dongxi barbarians who were standing at the forefront of bending their bows and shooting arrows had already been slaughtered by the Wuping army's bright spear tips.
