Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Battle of Chengjing (Part II)
The archway at the corner of the street collapsed.
Immediately afterwards, several adjacent commercial buildings collapsed one after another. Smoke and dust. Countless bricks and wood blocks were piled up like a hill, blocking the retreat of the long street.
The anxious and frightened look on the face of the general of the steppe cavalry became hideous, he held the scimitar, looked at the Tang army that still maintained the charging position, and no longer retreated.
The black-pressed steppe cavalry no longer retreated.
On the chaotic street, more stumbling ropes suddenly appeared, entwining the hooves of the horses that Datang was riding.
Tang Qi fell to the ground heavily, and the heavy armor collided with the hard ground, making a dull sound, and blood flowed out of the gray armor.
In the buildings on both sides of the street, more Yan troops appeared, and they began to shoot arrows at the Tang army. The rain of arrows suddenly raged, and there were several feather arrows shot into the edge of Tang Qi's armor at the same time.
From time to time, buildings collapsed and lay across the streets, turning them into an insurmountable obstacle for the heavy cavalry. There were cavalry, along with mounts, which were completely buried by the collapsed building, and could no longer stand up.
It was indeed an ambush.
But it was not the ambush of the steppe cavalry by the Tang Army and the Yan Army.
It was an ambush by the Yan army and the steppe cavalry against the Tang army.
The Tang Xuanjia is heavily ridden, invincible in the world.
Can we remain invincible today?
The general of the Tang Army looked at his subordinates who kept falling, his voice was as cold as snow on Minshan Mountain, looked at the Yan army on both sides of the street and the grassland cavalry on the opposite side, and said: "Kill them all, and we can get out." ”
......
......
Ambushes took place all over the city.
The Tang army suffered an extremely heavy blow, but they still charged fearlessly, with the anger of betrayal, with the grief of the sacrifice of their comrades, brandished the Pu knife in their hands, stabbed the spears in their hands, and continued to charge.
The forward battalion of the Northeast Frontier Army faced the most difficult situation on the long street, the largest number of enemies, those who poured in like a tide. Those steppe horsemen with terrifying archery skills seem to be unable to kill them all.
But how can there be a real enemy in the world that cannot be killed?
All the Tang cavalry have a belief, just like the general said, as long as we kill all these enemies in front of us, then we will naturally be able to get out.
The terrible sound of fighting, the dull sound of collision, kept resounding on the long street, like the tide of grassland cavalry and Yan army. It was actually scared of being killed by Tang Qi. In the wide area where the two streets intersect, a gap appeared.
The general of the front battalion handed over the Pu knife that had been cut out of the gap to his left hand, and said in a deep voice: "Continue to charge!"
Just rush out of the long street. Yan Guo could no longer organize an effective interception, so he could lead his sons back through the East City Gate according to the general's prior plan.
He didn't look back. also knows that there are more than 1,000 heavy cavalry under his command, and now there are less than half of them left.
This is the worst blow suffered by the Tang Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry in decades. But he was not sad, because he believed that every cavalry under his command had killed at least several times his own enemy before he died.
That's enough.
This way you can puff up your chest and go back proudly.
The general of the front battalion lifted the reins of his horse, rode forward, and cut it down with a knife. Cut a steppe cavalryman in half from his sword and arrow to his body, then cut through the rain of blood and rushed forward.
Suddenly, his injured right hand, which was holding the horse, became a little stiff.
The mount, which was already a little tired, then stopped.
The hundreds of Tang cavalry behind him were also quiet.
The steppe cavalry had already been scattered by them, and the formation was disorganized. Scattered on the side.
However, the gap that seemed to allow Tang Qi to leave had been filled by the cavalry.
Those cavalrymen also wore black armor, but compared to the Tang cavalry, those armors were painted with intricate golden rune lines, which were more eye-catching in the night. Brighter.
In the world, there are only two kinds of cavalry that are qualified to be compared with the Tang Xuanjia heavy cavalry.
One is the elite cavalry directly under the Golden Horde.
There is also the apologetic cavalry of the Xiling Temple.
It is even rumored that the temple apologetic cavalry is invincible for more than a thousand.
For countless years. Probably in order to avoid making the secular imperial power feel uneasy, the number of apologetic cavalry in the Xiling Temple was strictly controlled within a thousand cavalry.
However, now it seems that this is obviously the statement of the Xiling Temple to deceive the world.
Because at this time, the number of guardian cavalry of the Xiling Temple that appeared on the opposite side of the long street had already exceeded 1,000 cavalry.
The general of the front camp squinted slightly, lifted his visor, and looked across the long street.
He wiped the blood from his face, was silent for a long time, and then burst out laughing.
"I want to prove one thing all my life, you cavalry of Xiling are only worthy of carrying horse boots for us, but I didn't expect that before I died, I actually ushered in such an opportunity. ”
The general of the Feng battalion laughed gradually, slowly raised the Pu knife, and said, "Who wants to accompany me to kill?"
The hundreds of Tang horsemen behind him responded in unison, without fear, only with a desperate fighting spirit.
......
......
Restaurant.
Xian Zhilang looked at the city in the night, his hands clenched the slightly cool railing, and his knuckles were slightly white.
He squinted and was silent for a moment, his right hand loosening, his fingers tapping on the railing in order.
When he hit his ring finger, he stopped, and then he gave three orders.
"The camp was dispersed, the ban on entering private houses was abolished, and people were killed at will, and they were held out until dawn. ”
"Each battalion broke through to the east gate within half an hour, and the route and tactics were the opposite of the pre-battle arrangement. ”
"The Guards Battalion will follow me to the palace. ”
The officers and messengers in the restaurant were stunned for a moment before they began to act separately.
With the Tang Army's Su zhì, there should not be this moment of stagnation, but the content of Xian Zhilang's three military orders, even they need time to digest.
Let the front battalion disperse, that would be tantamount to sending them to their deaths, so as to buy time for the rest of the cavalry battalion to get out of trouble.
"We've lost. ”
Xian Zhilang looked at everyone and said: "Then you will lose beautifully, if there are still people alive among you after this battle, remember to bring a message to Her Royal Highness the Princess." This defeat is in the word trust, and now the world has attacked the Tang Dynasty, so the Tang Dynasty can no longer trust anyone except the Tang people. ”
After saying this, he glanced at the Yan general.
That Yan will be one of the most important generals of the Yan Kingdom, otherwise he would not be qualified to appear here.
The Yan general smiled miserably and committed suicide with his knife.
Sin Chik Long walked down the restaurant.
Dozens of Tang soldiers armed with Pu swords came out of the night and watched around vigilantly, they knew very well that since they were ambushed, the general must be the first person to be eliminated by the enemy.
However, Xian Zhilang didn't want to wait to be killed by the Yan people.
His third military order has already indicated his choice.
He will take the guard battalion to the palace to the east.
He was going to see Prince Chongming.
Or kill each other, or be killed by the other party.
