Chapter 450: The Fierce Battle (I)
Li Mo was silent, he didn't refute anything, not to mention that Xiang Chu didn't give him a chance to continue talking, he had already turned around and walked in the direction of the big tent, and in the distance, four soldiers took his mount with great difficulty.
The black-haired beast was so powerful that even if four soldiers were holding on to its reins, it seemed that it could not be controlled, and if it showed dissatisfaction and shook its huge head, the four soldiers would even be dragged by it for a few steps.
The air gushing out of its nostrils was like a cloud of hot steam, and its four hooves were stronger than those of a tiger or leopard.
This is a fiery horse that turns into a demon.
However, when Xiang Chu appeared in front of it, it suddenly settled down, and the arrogance that was invincible just now was gone, and its long narrow eyes were full of water, revealing a bit of fear and love.
"Let go. Xiang Chu chuckled.
The tall black horse obediently walked in front of Xiang Chu with small steps under Xiang Chu's eyes, and rubbed Xiang Chu's chest with his head affectionately.
"Ebony. Xiang Chu stroked the horse's mane, as if he was talking to an old friend, and said, "We'll meet that person on the battlefield in a while, what do you think?"
Of course, the black horse can't speak, although it knows human nature, but after all, it can't get away from the fact that it is just a horse, and the ability to speak human words can only be possessed by those legendary beasts.
However, it understood what Xiang Chu meant, and knew that it was about to accompany this majestic and famous general to the battlefield, and its four hooves began to kick restlessly on the ground, letting out a long hiss, and the joy and anticipation in its eyes were almost about to gush out.
"Let's go!" Xiang Chu easily jumped up in the air and landed steadily on the horse's back, in the neighing of the war horse, the black horse was wrapped in a swift wind, and rushed to the chaotic battlefield, and in the blink of an eye, one person and one horse disappeared without a trace.
Some people are stepping on their horses and going to the battlefield in their hearts, but some people are holding blood-stained knives, and their hearts are inevitably a little tired.
Just under the city of Jinzhou, the three thousand Mo family cavalry under Wang Xuanwei has changed direction for the tenth time.
In fact, this kind of frequent change of direction is not very easy to grasp, and Wang Xuanwei did not have time to train them in advance, so the riders were staring at the queue in front of them with wide eyes, for fear that they would fall behind.
Just now, they had already seen the few cavalry that had fallen behind, some of them were caught up by the angry Tang army, and they were cut into pulp in an instant, and some were buried in the rain of arrows shot by the Tang infantry array, and they were stabbed like an arrow target.
As the infantry of the Don Army continued to advance, the space available to them became less and less.
But Wang Xuanwei also led them to fight back fiercely, but after all, the enemy was numerous, except for the first contact, the other party was chaotic for a while, and killed a lot, so he didn't get any benefits.
The thistles were about to run out, and the Tang cavalry was still approaching their end.
After all, the 100,000 Tang army was powerful, even if they lost thousands of cavalry, but the Tang army that followed them in pursuit did not decrease at all, but the cavalry infantry echoed from end to end, connected together, and had evolved into an array of tens of thousands of people, and the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, shouting to kill the sky.
In such a situation, Qin Ke bit his lower lip and scolded in a low voice: "Is this a hornet's nest, if you want to die, you want to die......
Abu looked at Wang Xuanwei's back, and couldn't help shouting: "General! If you keep running like this, there will be no way!"
Li Yu's command was not useless, now all the Tang armies were advancing, the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, and it was almost difficult to have room for the three thousand cavalry to change and run wildly.
Now they have a choice, one is to retreat to the city, and the other is to withstand the volley of bows and arrows of the Tang army.
Either way, their strategy to break out will fail.
However, Wang Xuanwei's gaze remained unchanged, still looking calmly into the distance, and his voice was low: "We still have time." ”
At this moment, the Mo family's cavalry suddenly opened up, the city wall was quickly moved from their side, and they finally reached the corner, and with Wang Xuanwei taking the lead, the entire cavalry team rushed all the way to the east of the city.
Just ahead, four thousand infantry had been waiting for a long time.
However, Abu frowned, and only felt that this plan was no different from suicide: "Isn't it death to use thousands of infantry against tens of thousands of cavalry?"
He was a person who had spent time in the Taixue Academy, and he knew the power of cavalry on the battlefield. Not to mention 4,000 infantry, even if it was 40,000 infantry, in front of the formation of 10,000 cavalry that moved extremely fast and had a terrifying impact, they would be torn to pieces in an instant.
It is precisely because of this that the four countries of the world attach great importance to the cultivation of cavalry, and Canghai has a unique advantage, and the strength of the cavalry exceeds that of the countries in the world, and under their iron hooves, there has never been a complete corpse.
However, the corners of Wang Xuanwei's mouth curved slightly.
Infantry is inferior to cavalry, this is something he knew from the first day of training the art of war. However, the army is impermanent, the water is impermanent, and who can say for sure whether the victory or defeat on the battlefield is accurate.
"Throw out the rest of the thistles!" Wang Xuan shouted slightly, "Go forward, don't stop!
Hearing this order, everyone was shocked, I don't know why, although they also had some doubts before, but as soon as Wang Xuanwei opened his mouth, they immediately abandoned all the doubts in their hearts.
As the horses galloped, they bent down with all their might, grabbed the thistle in their buckskin pockets, and threw it backwards with all their might.
The cavalrymen in the last few rows even grabbed the whole pocket, and fell backwards without looking, scolding as they fell: "Let you chase, keep chasing, grandpa invites you to eat nails!"
The cavalry of the Tang Kingdom did not expect the change at this time, and suddenly the formation became chaotic, and many war horses stepped on those sharp and thick iron thistles, and the sorrowful roars came and went one after another.
"Rush! Rush over!" Taking advantage of the time when the speed of the Tang cavalry was plummeting, the three thousand Mo family cavalry suddenly accelerated, and the nine thousand war horses were like a long worm, and they rushed through the passage specially prepared for the cavalry.
Just as the last cavalry passed, this entrance was quickly closed by the shields of the infantry.
After a short period of confusion, the Tang cavalry quickly stabilized the formation, although the thistle terrestris was a big trouble for them, but after the formation was dispersed, unless there were endless thistles, the damage of this kind of thing was very limited, and it was more just a matter of slowing them down.
However, when they saw that it was really just an infantryman, they couldn't help but laugh.
"The Mo family's skills are exhausted! dare to intercept the cavalry with a few thousand infantry, when their infantry is all cultivators, can't it?"
However, the general of the cavalry still seemed much calmer, he looked at the head of the city, the crossbow car that had been prepared for a long time, and probably could guess that Wang Xuanwei was going to repeat the old trick again, relying on the escape to take the Tang cavalry close to the city head, and then use the crossbow arrows at the city head to strangle: "Don't underestimate the enemy! Be careful of the crossbow at the head of the city!"
However, he did not shout to retreat.
The general, who had already prepared in his heart, raised his sword and shouted: "Get close! Let them see, the cavalry of our Tang Kingdom is not an ornament!"
The commander of the 4,000 infantry is the same as the public loser, and he is the same generation as the public loser, but he is four years younger than him, and he has also experienced several small battlefield trials in the past.
Seeing the 10,000 cavalry charging violently, he still secretly sweated, but the situation was like this, even if he didn't fight for this Mo family, he had to fight for his brothers and sisters, parents, wives and children in Jinzhou.
Thinking of this, he slapped his right hand on the hilt of the knife in his hand and shouted, "Release!"
Under the control of the soldiers, the two crossbow carts released crossbow arrows towards the array of Tang cavalry, and in addition, the crossbow carts at the head of the city began to release crossbow arrows like rain with the sound of bowstrings popping out.
For this battlefield weapon, Tang Jun has already seen it more than once, and knows that these crossbow arrows are not easy to provoke, and many Pao Ze brothers died under these crossbow arrows.
However, this time, the Tang army chased too closely, even if the crossbows were fired in unison, it was difficult to cause large-scale damage, many crossbow arrows hit people and horses, and the speed of the cavalry was far faster than the people in the city thought.
However, with two rounds of volleys, the Tang cavalry had already arrived in front of them.
