Hundreds of thousands of steppe cavalry charged towards the camp of the Tang army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The cavalry is not good at attacking the city, Cui Yu doesn't know what their commander thinks, he will ask hundreds of thousands of cavalry to attack the city, although his own camp seems simple, but if the cavalry attacks the city, then it will cause great casualties.
But the idea of the steppe barbarians is because the Tang army is now exhausted, and there are no people who can stand up again, and the longer the time drags on, maybe the casualties for the steppe barbarians will be greater, so they launched the tactics of cavalry siege.
As long as the cavalry charging on all sides, arrange some masters with high martial arts, when approaching the Tang army, cut out a powerful sword qi, naturally they can break through the wooden wall of the Tang camp, and then the cavalry in the rear can rush into the Tang military camp in one go.
You must know that now in the Datang military camp, there are nearly 100,000 powerless people.
They want to get back on their feet and take up arms to fight, and they can't do it in a short time.
This time is their best chance.
The weather in the grassland is unpredictable, that is, some grassland people are not very sure of the change in the weather, just like the torrential rain that is falling now, they were very sure that it will not rain during this time, but at this time.
They couldn't wait, no one knew when the Tang elite led by the Holy Emperor would appear, and if there was enough time, they naturally didn't mind waiting any longer, waiting until the rainstorm stopped, and then reusing another plan.
And Cui Yu seemed to ignore the impact of the grassland barbarians, and turned a blind eye to the hundreds of thousands of grassland cavalry that were surging like a tsunami.
He calmly issued one order after another.
Under his command, the trebuchet kept changing angles, and one by one the ceramic jars were projected, and then in mid-air, they were burst open by the archers.
The charge of the steppe cavalry was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was only four hundred paces away from the Tang camp.
Cui Yu shouted: "Trebuchet for boulder." Archers, listen to orders, target steppe cavalry. β
After speaking, Cui Yu stood on the wall tower, looking at the grassland cavalry who was getting closer and closer to him.
Three hundred and fifty steps, three hundred steps, two hundred and fifty steps......
Suddenly, when the grassland barbarian cavalry approached the Datang military camp for more than two hundred steps, the grassland cavalry charging at the forefront suddenly somehow, as if there was a stumbling rope, countless horses in front of them fell neatly to the ground.
The steppe cavalry, who were caught off guard, were thrown dozens of feet away one by one.
The fallen horses tripped over the horses behind them, like a train rear-ending, and the whole steppe army was in chaos.
Some unlucky guys were even directly turned into minced meat by the fallen horses.
For a time, mourning was everywhere, and the screams continued.
The corners of Cui Yu's mouth raised a smug smile. Before being led by the nose by the steppe barbarians and the people of the Five Murder Palace, everyone had a fire in their stomachs.
Now it's finally time for them to wield their might.
"Right now, trebuchets throw boulders, and archers fire a salvo of five breaths. β
Cui Yu gave an order, and the sound of the reins breaking came, and the boulders the size of human heads were thrown high, and the archers were even brighter, and the bows and arrows that had been pulled up for a long time in their hands were also shot out in a volley at this time.
At this time, looking from the sky, the entire Datang military camp was like a burst of dazzling eyes, and black fireworks were sprayed out in all directions.
The steppe barbarians were already in a mess at this time, the boulder fell, and some panicked steppe cavalry were desperately controlling their horses, and a boulder in the sky smashed directly on his body, and the boulder seemed to be smashed on the dough, which directly turned the steppe barbarian into a ball of minced meat.
Before the exclamations of the surrounding barbarians could be heard, a rain of arrows had already fallen from the sky.
These archers are not shot by those who practice qi martial arts, they are all masters in the innate realm, although the internal force infused into the arrows will not be much, but it also makes the arrows sharper.
Their armor, pickled by an ancient and intricate method, was like papier-mΓ’chΓ©, easily pierced by arrows falling from the sky.
One arrow after another pierced directly through the flesh and clung to the earth.
Just this rain of boulders and arrows, I don't know how many people have been killed.
It's a long story, but it's really a flash of light.
At this time, the steppe cavalry in the rear was still desperately rushing forward. This made the steppe barbarians who desperately wanted to dodge in front of them have no space to dodge at all, and they are like meat targets, and they can only resign themselves to fate.
One corpse after another fell, and a wall of corpses several feet high was piled up more than 200 steps from the Tang military camp. Rivers of blood.
The rain was still falling, and the whole land was muddy, making it even more difficult for the steppe barbarians to move.
Wu Enqi and the upper echelons of the Five Fierce Spirits Hall stood on top of the raised mound behind them, looking at everything in front of them, and couldn't help but gasp.
They didn't expect that the Tang army would be so tenacious at this point.
What they know is that this army is not the regular army of the Tang Dynasty, but a ragtag army composed of various factions in the rivers and lakes, and they don't know anything about what war is.
But the current scene has subverted their imagination.
If they hadn't known that these were just a rabble, they wouldn't have dared to come here and ambush them.
But the reality is so cruel, these rabbles are so powerful, where do they not understand military strategy at all.
The high-level of the Five Fierce Palaces was calm, he looked at the figure of Cui Yu standing quietly on the tower of the distant city, praised it, and said: "It is worthy of being the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, it is really powerful." β
Although Wu Enqi had heard of Cui Yu's name for a long time, but now he didn't care how powerful Cui Yu was, he only knew that most of the people who died now were from his clan.
I thought it was the credit of the hand-to-hand capture, but Wu Enqi used all his means to grab the position of commander, but although he was the commander, it was impossible for him to let the warriors of other tribes rush to the front.
The steppe people only obeyed their tribe Khan and the king of the steppe, and although they were now temporarily under his command, if Wuenqi had let them all rush to the front line, and their own tribal warriors would have taken advantage of the rear, I am afraid that the army would have mutinied long ago.
Therefore, at least half of the people who are rushing on the battlefield now are his tribal warriors, and if the losses are too large, his position as one of the top ten tribes of the steppe will be dangerous in the future.
He saw that the high-level of the Five Fierce Palaces were still indifferent, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Sir, let's retire for the time being." The Tang people don't know what method they used, so that my cavalry suddenly fell, and if I don't figure it out, they can't attack. This is a death sentence. Mr. β
Hearing this, the high-level of the Five Fierce Palaces glanced at Wu Enqi coldly through the brim of his huge hat, if it was in the past, he would never dare to talk to him like this, but in order to preserve his own strength, now he can't retreat from anything.
It's one thing to fight to the death on the battlefield, it's another thing to send to death.
"Retire, sir. Let's go back first, and it's not too late to figure it out and fight again. Wu Enqi said.
The two of them looked at each other like this, and finally the master of the Five Fierce Palaces finally nodded.
