Chapter 1280: Long Live the Tang Dynasty

In a simple cavalry duel, maybe they still have a victory, I hope they have a little more people after all, no matter how elite the steppe cavalry on the opposite side is, but they have traveled a long way from the north, and they are much more tired than us.

But the problem is that before the war, the Tang army will definitely use artillery, when our army rushes into the artillery, our attrition will be very powerful, and we have lost more than 1/4 before we meet the enemy, who can stand this?

"Ngawang, you go ......"

But no matter what, now that the people are in position, if you don't organize an army to fight, then wait for someone's artillery to blow up your barracks for a while, and the cavalry will still come up to harvest, and then more people will die.

After the general heard the general's roll call, he could only go out with his 4,000 cavalry.

They say that it is 4,000 cavalry, but in fact it is just 4,000 infantry on horseback, and there is no so-called armor or anything like that.

And there is no training in peacetime, they will only fight on the ground, as for how to fight on horseback, only some people have explained to them, and they don't even have time for training, so they are ready for a decisive battle with the real steppe cavalry, isn't this a joke?

General Mippen also knew that it would not work like this, but the twists and turns he sent back to the court were like a stone sinking into the sea.

According to his idea, we should give full play to our advantages, so that we can not continue to fight them on the plains, but should retreat into the surrounding mountains and forests, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack the Tang army.

This is our strong point, but the court of the Bi Kingdom does not allow it, if you break the army into pieces and retreat to the surrounding mountains and forests, it means that these armies have lost control, the most important thing is that when you do not resist, the Tang army is likely to take advantage of the trend to the south, and then the army will come to the capital, so what should I do?

Therefore, the court of the Bi Kingdom directly turned a blind eye to the general's return of the recitals, and also sent the core army of the royal family, of course, these people did not come to fight, their purpose was to monitor General Mipo, and he was not allowed to disband the army without authorization.

In fact, the royal family also understands that they are not the opponents of the Tang army, but they still let the army fight like this, what they want is to fight a war of attrition, there are dead people on our side, and there must be dead people on the side of the Tang army, as long as the army losses on both sides are not small, the Tang army comes from afar, maybe they choose to be stationed in Wacheng.

Once the Tang army does not continue to the south, then the imperial court can send core personnel to negotiate, no matter what the situation is, they want to survive.

Therefore, General Mippen and his men fought not a victory, but an opportunity to negotiate, and at the very beginning, the country had already lost in momentum.

Of course, this cannot be told to the soldiers on the front line, if we tell them this, I am afraid that the morale of these people will be even lower, originally wanted to beat the invaders, but now they only want a chance to negotiate, will they still fight for this?

Woo woo... I...

The sound of three long and one short came out, this was the attack horn of the cavalry on the steppe, and most of the cavalry responsible for the attack this time were Turkic cavalry.

They came from more than 10 tribes, and they had traveled a long way from the north, but they had been resting in Nanzhao for half a month, so they didn't see much fatigue from them.

Li Xiang had already promised these people that as long as the war could be won, all the combatants would be able to resume their status as free people, but they would continue to serve in the army in the future, including their families, and they could enter the interior to live.

These people have seen the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and of course they are not willing to stay in that bitter cold place in the north, so this battle is not fought for themselves, it can be said that it is fought for their children and grandchildren.

"Warriors, in front is our enemy, behind is our territory, pull out your scimitars, step on your war horses, and follow me to crush all enemies, long live the Tang Dynasty!"

A Turkic king pulled out his scimitar, and everyone followed his movements, pulling out his scimitar, and looking at it from the side, the scimitar was neatly exuding a formidable chill.

Back then, when they fought against the Tang army, they didn't have any chance of winning, because of the artillery behind them, but now the artillery is supporting them, so they are full of confidence, these people in front of them are their military exploits, and they are the way for their children and grandchildren to live in the interior.

"Kill!"

With the order of the Turkic king, thousands of cavalry rushed forward like a flood of open gates, and at the same time the artillery in the rear had already begun to bombard.

The cavalry of the Bi country learned it, and they knew that the Tang army would definitely have artillery, so these people did not rush to charge, but slowly wandered in place.

This is an effective way of theirs, in the absence of a charge, the shells are simply out of reach, and many of them frowned, could it be that this time we are going to lose?

However, Li Xiang's face showed a smile, everything has advantages and disadvantages, you did not charge, although you could not rush within the range of artillery shelling, but the speed of the cavalry did not rise, when the cavalry attacked, if your speed did not rise, then you have already lost half of the loss.

After a while, the steppe cavalry will rush into your camp, relying on the powerful impact force, you can disrupt your formation in an instant, and you are still slowly turning around in place, how can you be the opponent of the steppe army?

"All-army assault."

The general of the country may also understand this, when he saw the cavalry on the opposite side getting closer and closer, he ordered his men to rush forward, but the steppe cavalry in the distance put too much pressure on them, and many people saw it clearly at the moment, and some even grabbed their horses' heads.

Why did the cavalry start charging at a long distance, because they couldn't see the enemy in the distance, they slowly soared their speed, and when they saw the enemy, the speed had already reached a level, and they couldn't stop at all, they could only continue to rush up.

But now the people are like a flood that has opened the floodgates, and the speed of the cavalry of the Bi Kingdom is far from rising, not only are people timid, including their war horses, they are all thinking of running to the side of the place.

"Damn it."

General Mippen drew his sword viciously......
