Section 157 Divine Soldiers
Dou Jiande asked the scout: "How many people are there on the other side?"
The scout said, "There are a hundred cavalry. ”
Dou Jiande said: "His grandmother has a leg, and she is clearly a scout more than a hundred times, as for such a fuss?"
The scout said: "But these scouts are very strange, they seem to be the Xuanjia of the Tang army, and there is a person who claims to be Li Shimin. ”
"Li Shimin?" Dou Jiande's eyes were about to pop out, and he grabbed the scout's collar and said, "Aren't you kid out of sight?"
The scout cowered and said, "Even if the little one has the courage to go through the sky, he will not dare to coax the king." ”
Dou Jiande muttered to himself: "It's so fucking strange, is this how the Tang army fights? There must be deception in it." ”
The pioneer officer Su Dingfang said beside him: "King, if it is really Li Shimin who is running over so swaggeringly, beware that they are a plan to lure the enemy, we must be careful." It was Li Shimin's soldiers, but he was very cunning. ”
"Hmm. Dou Jiande nodded and said: "Pass the order to go down and form a formation to resist the enemy, but if there are those who do not take the initiative to attack from the military order, they will be killed." ”
The scout thought that there was something wrong with his ears, and said, "King, we have 30,000 men in the front and a hundred cavalry in formation?"
Dou Jiande said: "His grandmother, are you deaf? Scout Wuzi's ears couldn't believe it, and it wasn't until he was kicked in the ass by Dou Jiande when he went out that he realized that Dou Jiande wasn't joking.
All of a sudden, the flags in Xia Jun's camp waved, passing various flags. The entire forward barracks became agitated, gradually forming a shield-shaped military formation.
At this time, Li Shimin and his entourage were on a slope a mile away to observe the changes in the formation of the Xia army.
Long Xiaomo used the Qi Observation Technique, observed Xia Jun's strength, and said, "Xia Jun is not simple, there are two lilac qi in the forwards. It should be the first order of the Yuan Infant. ”
Tie Ying said beside him: "In the battle of thousands of troops, even a master of the Yudan level cannot decide the outcome of the battle. The key is to look at the military quality and dispatch situation. ”
Li Shimin said: "That's right, you see, the formation speed of the Xia army is very fast, and there are almost no major weaknesses at the interfaces of each formation. Xia Jun's Tiger Horse is indeed a strong force, worthy of being my Li Shimin's opponent. ”
Tie Ying next to him said, "King Qin, you also look down on them." However, the generals felt that their formations were far from catching up with the level of our Tang Army. ”
Li Shimin said: "Whether it's powerful or not, you will know if you do it." Release the carrier pigeons, and let Yu Chi Jingde and them rush over. Then let's attack with the whole army and touch Dou Jiande's old bottom. ”
"Gotcha. Tie Ying next to him rubbed his hands, his face was full of excitement, and he ran out to give orders. But Long Xiaomo next to him was already frightened.
Long Xiaomo said to Li Shimin: "His Royal Highness King Qin, you mean to let our hundred people attack the enemy's 30,000 people, and there are two Yuanying-level masters in it. ”
Li Shimin looked at Long Xiaomo with a smile and said, "What's wrong?"
Long Xiaomo swallowed his saliva and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm going to be scared to death." I'm here with you to reconnoitre, not to kill. King Qin, you're a madman, aren't you?"
Before Long Xiaomo's words were finished, Tie Ying gave an order on the side and said, "King Qin has an order, and he will attack in a wedge." ”
"Ouou. There was a small cheer from the Xuanjia soldier next to him. Long Xiaomo looked around, only his legs and stomach were spinning.
The knights around are putting their faces
The hood was lowered, revealing grim eyes.
"I'll rub it, is this still the group of people who asked me to tell a little story yesterday?" When Long Xiaomo was still spinning his thoughts in his mind, the Xuanjia cavalry next to him had already rushed out.
"Driving, driving, driving" More than 100 heavily armed war horses rushed down from the small dirt slope, carrying bursts of dust, and the sound looked very terrifying.
Due to the inertia of going downhill again, the speed of the Xuanjia Iron Rider this time was slightly faster than the last time it charged, but it was still at a constant speed. More than a hundred horses were tightly pressed together, only in one row, like a sharp wedge stabbing into the enemy line.
When the two armies were still about 300 meters apart, the Tang army ushered in the first rain of arrows of the Xia army. These arrows rained down from the Xia Army's Divine Arm Crossbow. This crossbow requires three people to operate, the accuracy is very poor, but the distance is very long, the shaft of the arrow is twice as long as the ordinary arrow, and it falls from the sky and attacks in a covering style. It's like rocket artillery in the era of cold weapons.
"Raise your shield. Li Shimin shouted loudly, took out a hand shield from his back and put it in front of him, and a local voice sounded.
Although the Divine Arm Crossbow has a long strike distance, the effect is not very good, so there is no large amount of equipment in the Xia army. At a distance of three hundred meters, the rain of arrows fell sparsely in the military formation, and only a small part formed a threat, and they were all blocked by the hand shield of the Tang army.
The Xuanjia Army still maintained a charging posture, although the speed was not fast, but it quickly reached a distance of one hundred and fifty meters.
"Flat shield, hold the lance. Li Shimin resolutely gave the second order.
I saw a hundred Xuanjia cavalrymen holding their hand shields flat in front of their chests with their left hands, and taking off their horses with their right hands and holding them horizontally in their hands.
The two armies soon reached a distance of a hundred meters. At this time, the bows and crossbows of the Xia soldiers could already be effective. Su Dingfang, the vanguard officer of the Xia Army, looked at the love and hatred in the military formation, and it was indeed the elite of the Tang Army who came on the other side, but because they all put down their masks and wore exactly the same armor, they couldn't see where Li Shimin was.
Su Dingfang said viciously: "Damn, are the Tang army all crazy? A hundred people dare to stick to my 30,000-strong barracks, if you are willing to die, Lao Tzu is willing to bury you." Come on, first round, release the arrows. ”
The archers of the Xia army used a three-round shooting system, and the archers of the first round stood at the front of the military formation, and after seeing the Tang army enter the range of 100 meters, they struggled to shoot the first round of feather arrows, and then squatted down to wait for the second row of arrows. After the second row finished shooting, he quickly crouched down and waited for the third row to shoot arrows. When the third row finished shooting, the first row had already loaded their bows and arrows and aimed again.
During this period, the Tang Army entered the most difficult time. In the face of the opponent's repeated shooting, there was almost an endless rain of arrows in front of the Tang army. At this time, the power of the Xuanjia was fully revealed. Almost all of these knights' bodies were covered with steel, and even the faces of their horses were covered with all the heavy armor. In the face of the rain of arrows, all the Xuanjia soldiers were silent, no one shouted, no one roared, no one exclaimed, only a rapid gasp, which was a terrifying silence.
The hand shields in the hands of many Tang soldiers were already densely covered with a rain of arrows. At a distance of about 50 meters, many Xuanjia soldiers were hit by arrows, and some of the arrow feathers were shot at the soldiers' necks, face doors, or horses' legs. Seven or eight warriors fell on their backs. But apart from the neighing of the war horses, there was no exclamation. The knights around him gathered a little in the middle, closing the gap, and continued to rush forward as if nothing had happened.
When the distance reached fifteen meters, Li Shimin ordered for the third time: "Abandon the shield,
Out of the lance, full impact. ”
As soon as the order was issued, a hundred Xuanjia soldiers immediately shouted at the same time. These people were as if they had been rehearsed, from the extremely quiet at the beginning to the rapid shouts like a tsunami, which brought great shock to Xia Jun's heart.
Although shocked, Xia Jun did not panic, in Su Dingfang's heart, these people were still looking for death, and he gave an order: "Sword and shield out of the ranks." ”
I saw that the archers in front of the Xia army quickly retreated, and a row of huge wooden shields was placed in front of them, and long lances stretched out from the gaps between the shields, and the entire army formation was like a hedgehog curled up together.
At this moment, the Xuanjia Iron Rider turned around and arrived. When viewed from a distance, the horses of the two armies are basically the same. But when I got closer, I found that I was superior and made a judgment. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the horse lance was like a spear in the Song and Ming dynasties, a common blade. Because of the large weight of the horse lance, the knight's horse lance basically reaches the limit when it reaches the length of one zhang, and it cannot be used if it is longer. However, the lance of the Xuanjia Iron Rider was one foot and two feet long, two or three feet longer than the lance that the Xia army stretched out from the military array.
Each of the cavalrymen aimed their lances at a wooden shield, increasing the speed of their horses to the limit, and almost at the same time, all the lances stabbed at the same time in front of a wooden shield.
"Broken. A hundred Xuanjia warriors let out a short, powerful roar at the same time, and the wooden shield in front of them was smashed at the same time.
Long Xiaomo had been at the very edge of the wedge-shaped array with the Xuanjia Iron Horseman, but he had witnessed the entire process of charging the formation today. But when Long Xiaomo saw Xia Jun's shield array, he felt that Tang Jun might be in big trouble this time, thinking that he couldn't figure out how to break the formation.
"It's a gathering of energy. Long Xiaomo thought that Xue Rengui would often use this trick. It turned out that these hundred Xuanjia cavalry would all do this trick. More than ninety cavalrymen gathered their spiritual power on the tip of the lance at the same time, and used the gathering qi to break through more than ninety wooden shields at the same time, and the scene was extremely shocking.
The wooden shield was broken, revealing Xia Jun's panicked faces behind him, and then the ninety-faced, expressionless Tang Jun stabbed the horse lance in his hand into his chest. Before they could taste a painful taste, Tang Jun quickly pulled back the horse lance and stepped over the corpse of Xia Jun.
Li Shimin gave the last order: "Abandon the lance and attack freely." At this time, the Tang army had already entered the camp of the Xia army. At this time, the long lance of one zhang and two zhang is not conducive to display. The Tang army gave up the horse lance, pulled out a standard horizontal knife more than three feet long from the back, and slashed it in the Xia army.
When the two armies face each other, they will put the most elite forces in the front row, and these vanguard soldiers will determine the key to the victory or defeat of a war. At this time, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry was like a dagger, directly inserted into the Xia Army's barracks, and quickly entered a state of melee.
When the Xia army was arrayed, most of the soldiers did not take the hundred cavalry in their eyes, saying that they were first-class combat preparations, but the soldiers in the back row were very perfunctory. But when Tang Jun was in front of him, he was dumbfounded. The second-rate troops in the back row suddenly became a little timid when they saw Tang Jun's cold mask, and the long knife in his hand didn't seem to be as powerful as Tang Jun. The hundred Xuanjia guards suddenly seemed to be in a no-man's land.
After Long Xiaomo followed everyone into the Xia Army's military formation, there was an unprecedented sense of refreshment all over her body. He threw away the lance in his hand and pulled out the Chixiao Sword from behind his back, and after pouring the internal force into it, it suddenly emitted a crimson light. Pick up the sword in your hand, don't use any moves at all, slash horizontally and vertically, like chopping melons and vegetables, rushing left and right, like a god descending to earth.
