Chapter 1241: The Right Guard Heavy Cavalry
The goshawk flew high in the sky, and everything on the ground was in full view.
Between the fields, countless brown-armored cavalry rushed from all directions towards the fleet in the center of the canal.
The closest is even half an hour.
Even if it is far away, it will definitely not take more than a quarter of an hour, and it will be completely killed.
By that time, Li Xuan was using 4,000 soldiers and armor to face the 20,000 people in the Qinling Tomb.
……
He was all out of action.
Li Xuan stood on the bow of the boat, and the small boat behind it quickly passed through the gap on both sides, and then rushed forward at great speed.
Underwater stakes can force large ships to stop, but they have little power for nimble boats.
In a short time, almost all the boats had already rushed past the stake position.
At this moment, Li Xuan raised his head, looked at the big ship in front of him, and decisively ordered: "Sink the ship." ”
"Whoa!" The large ship that was blocked at the front was immediately scuttled without the slightest hesitation, and the speed was amazing.
At the moment when the big ship sank, the nearby river surface unexpectedly rose by nearly half a meter.
The strange thing is that the sinking ship also sank to the bottom of the river at once.
From the height it does not seem to affect the passage of ships above at all.
It was as if Li Xuan had expected this scene a long time ago.
Taking advantage of the fact that the nearby river level was rising in an instant, on the ships behind the wreck, countless boat poles stretched out, and with a strong stroke, the big boat immediately rushed up.
For a time, in the middle of the river, it actually passed directly from the top of the stake array.
But the stake array was too long.
Li Xuan's boat had just reached the halfway point, and the water had already sunk.
His entire ship was stuck directly in the center.
It was not only his ship that was stuck, but many other ships in front and behind were also stuck.
Not even a single big ship passed through the stake formation.
……
The sound of horses' hooves around became clearer and clearer, and even the sound of blood splashing could be clearly heard from the left guard cavalry and the Tubo people, fighting with all their might.
Li Xuan raised his head, looked at the boat in front of him, a demonic sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he waved his hand directly: "Everyone come back, arrange according to the predetermined arrangement." ”
"Whoa!" Countless voices rang out, followed by the boat in front of it quickly back.
Directly retreated to the center of the stake array, and then followed closely, one by one, the small boats, and the sides of the ship were directly pushed away.
Then someone pulled out the plank underneath and put it directly on the boat opposite.
The wooden wedge was nailed to it in an instant, and a large number of small boats were connected in a very short time.
Originally, there was some sinking to the bottom of the ship, but in the end, the strange bottom touched the wooden stake.
It was at this time that someone had already nailed the bottom of the ship and the stake directly together.
Then with a forceful push, Li Xuan's boat was on top of the stake at once.
The same was true of many more ships in the back, and at this time they were also on the stakes.
It's all silky, as if Li Xuan had known that there would be this scene now.
However, they didn't move on, just like Li Xuan had the opportunity to leave together in a small boat before, and they didn't leave at all.
On the contrary, on the contrary, the wooden planks were put on, and the water surface was raised, and the boat, which was originally two feet wide, suddenly turned out to be two large ships side by side.
But it's crowded.
At this time, these ships completely blocked the channel.
There is no way to move forward.
All the soldiers on the small boat were also on the big ship at this time.
Immediately, the tall vertical shields were removed from the ship.
Immediately after, a thousand soldiers disembarked from both sides and landed directly ashore with shields in hand.
He stopped about ten feet from the river and erected his long shield.
Five hundred shields on each side of the river, and a wall of shields was firmly erected in front of the ship.
Not only that, but behind the shield I don't know when, a wooden pole has been installed, and when the wooden pole is put down, it is dead on the ground.
The soldiers crouched, their crossbows clenched in their hands.
Li Xuan stood in the center of all the ships, then nodded slightly, and hundreds of soldiers stood up with shields in their hands and walked to the side of the ship.
The shield in his hand was inserted directly into the card slot that had been left on the hull of the ship, and it was erected on both sides of the big ship at once.
It even directly surrounded all the ships and connected them, like a small rampart, a completely defensive posture.
It seems that Li Xuan has been prepared for a long time, just waiting to be besieged by the Qin Tomb.
……
Li Xuan's gaze fell on the boat, a Fu Yuan crossbow was ready, as long as the shield in front of them was lowered, they would immediately launch.
But this is not in a hurry, only when the Tubo people are densely populated to a certain extent, these Fuyuan crossbow arrows can exert the greatest power.
Li Xuan stood up solemnly and spoke directly: "Order, the left guard cavalry will be retracted, and the battle will retreat, and retreat behind the shield array." ”
"Whoa!" Li Zhu immediately gave up his hand, then shook the flag, and immediately, the gong sounded rapidly.
Seeing the left guard cavalry rapidly appearing in the distance, Li Xuan nodded slightly.
Each of them had wounds on his body, and in this moment alone, the losses of the Left Guards Cavalry had exceeded twenty percent.
But everyone knows that today's battle, and the current battle, will completely determine whether they can completely gain a foothold in northern Tibet.
Among all the Tang sergeants, they bear the heaviest pressure, and in the same way, they will also be the most glorious and have the most combat exploits.
After the left guard cavalry recycled to the shield array in an orderly manner, he stood firm and immediately opened his bow and shot arrows at the Tubo cavalry chasing from afar.
Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the bows and arrows of the Tubo people were very light and were most affected by the wind.
When the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo people distanced themselves, there was a problem with the accuracy of the Tubo cavalry.
Many of them were directly nailed to the shield of the right guard, and when they appeared in the range of the right guard's crossbow, there was a "buzz", and a piece of crossbow arrows had already flown directly.
In the end, it fell the body of the Tubo cavalry, and in an instant, the Tubo cavalry had fallen to the ground.
For a time, within the range of the Tang soldiers' bows and crossbows, no Tubo could get close.
But at this time, more dense Tubo people had already rushed out from all directions, and rushed towards the shield array without hesitation.
With crossbow arrows and long arrows, he rushed directly with horsepower.
Short arrows, crossbow arrows, long arrows.
For a while, countless bows and arrows flew in the sky.
Tang soldiers, Tubo soldiers, I don't know how many dead and wounded in a moment.
Under the siege of dense Tubo soldiers, the circle of the Tang army became smaller and smaller.
……
Li Xuan stood at the bow of the boat, looking into the farthest distance, where a white lion flag seemed to be flashing.
That's the position of the Qin Tomb, extremely backward.
"He is a good learner this time, and he refuses to give this king a chance at all." Li Xuan sighed lightly, withdrew his gaze from the extreme distance, then looked at Li Zhu on the side, and said, "Call, right guard, heavy cavalry, raid." ”
"Whoa!" Li Zhu suppressed his excitement and gave it up, and the next moment, a rocket had already risen directly into the sky, and finally exploded directly in the sky.
"Herald, Pingdun." Li Xuan gave an order, and on the hull of the ship, all the shields were laid flat in an instant.
The Fuyuan crossbow arrow, which rushed diagonally towards the sky, appeared in the sight of all the Tubo people at this moment.
20,000 Tibetan cavalry rushed towards Li Xuan's place from all directions.
Even though they were in a sequential formation at the beginning, by the time they reached a very small circle, the distance between them was already very small.
Even between each other, they can't open the gap.
With a "buzz", one hundred and twenty Fuyuan crossbow arrows shot out in two directions, east and west.
The crossbow arrow, with its huge impact, instantly passed through a distance of two hundred paces and shot into the chest of a Tibetan cavalryman.
Before he even fell to the ground, Fu Yuan's crossbow arrow had already passed through his body, instantly piercing the chest of the Tubo cavalry behind him, and the blood exploded.
A Fuyuan crossbow arrow passed through the chests of the three Tibetan cavalrymen in one breath, and they all turned over and fell off their horses in an instant
One hundred and twenty Fuyuan crossbow arrows killed more than three hundred Tibetan cavalry in an instant.
Orderly, cold, and with a special beauty.
The front of the entire Tubo formation was immediately scraped off a layer.
Of course, it was only one layer, but it was only 300 cavalry, and there were 20,000 cavalry under Qin Ling, and they were densely packed and could not be seen.
Three hundred people, I don't know if it is under the topography at the forefront of today, it is a little conspicuous.
In the back, more people are swarming forward regardless of life and death.
With a "buzz", one hundred and twenty Fuyuan crossbow arrows flew up again, and then flew out fiercely in the east and west directions.
The Tubo cavalry in front wanted to retreat, and the Tubo cavalry in the back wanted to advance, and suddenly it became even more chaotic.
"Duo ......" One hundred and twenty crossbow arrows pierced directly through the chests of hundreds of Tibetan soldiers.
In an instant, a large area of blood mist was raised.
With a "buzz", another hundred and twenty Fuyuan crossbow arrows flew up again, and in an instant, in one hundred and twenty specific directions, there were already lines directly empty.
"Left back strikes." Li Xuan's cold voice sounded on the big boat, and the red flag pointed in the northeast and northwest directions.
The next moment, without the slightest hesitation, more than 1,500 left guard cavalry no longer cared about Li Xuan, and quickly killed in the two diagonal directions of the northeast and northwest.
The Qinling Tomb is in the south, and the real main force of the Tubo people is also in the south.
The two diagonal rear directions in the northeast and northwest were less Tubo cavalrymen after all.
But even then, there were more than 3,000 people on each side.
With more than 700 people to attack the cavalry of 3,000 people, even if there are hundreds of people with the lethality of Fuyuan's crossbow, it is still a drop in the bucket.
But no one hesitated, Li Xuanjun gave the order, and everyone could only charge, charge and charge.
The left guard killed, and the five rounds of Fuyuan crossbow arrows in a row completely stopped.
Before the shield array, it was already full of blood.
The corpses of men and horses on the ground fell to pieces, and many people hesitated for a moment.
At this time, the trombone of "woo" sounded, and more Tubo cavalry looked fierce, and the next moment, they had already begun to rush forward desperately.
Without fear of life and death, the Tubo people rushed extremely fast, and the three rounds of crossbow arrows behind the shield array were shot out, and hundreds of Tubo people had fallen on the ground, but more people had already been killed.
All the soldiers, without the slightest hesitation, bowed down, picked up the rifle placed on the ground, and put it directly on the shield, and the next moment, the Tubo cavalry had already crashed into it.
In an instant, dozens of shields were completely knocked away, and countless Tibetan cavalry rushed in through the gap and rushed directly towards the big ship.
At this moment, the Fuyuan crossbow, which had just been loaded with two arrows, had already been raised.
With a "buzz", hundreds of arrows have been shot out fiercely, two rounds in a row, and hundreds of people have fallen to the ground in an instant.
Before and after, there were at least thousands of Tubo people who died under Fuyuan's crossbow, and the lethality of other crossbows that almost everyone had in their hands was also not low.
At least 2,000 people died under the crossbows, but at this time, more Tibetan cavalry continued to rush forward frantically.
They had only one target, and that was Li Xuan under the black daxue on the ship.
Tens of thousands of Tibetan cavalry rushed forward like crazy, and at this time, the shield array on the hull of the ship was erected again.
Countless bows, arrows, knives and axes, smashed on it, could not be shaken at all.
The big ship was half a meter high above the ground, and it was this half meter, plus the shield was stuck in the groove of the wooden ship, and it was almost impossible to shake it.
"There is an order, fire attack, fire attack." A loud shout came from afar.
The hull of the ship immediately felt that the offensive was slowing down, Li Xuan's eyes became cold, and at this moment, a loud vibration sound came from the north.
Heavy cavalry, arrived.
