……

"Order the left and right cavalry of the former army to pursue!" Guo Ziyi immediately gave the order when he saw the cavalry of the Yan army retreating.

Ask the flag bearer to set up the green dragon flag and the white tiger flag, and raise the flag to signal the cavalry on the left and right wings of the former army to go out and pursue.

When the former army standard bearer saw the Chinese army showing its own flag, he immediately notified Li Siye and hung up his own flag to respond to the Chinese army's order.

"charge!"

Li Feiyuan, commander of the cavalry, led his troops to attack after receiving the order.

Anxi's cavalry descended like fierce tigers, and rushed straight at Li Guiren's [-] remnants who had fled.

The cavalry of the Tang army galloped like lightning, hiding behind the Yan army.While blocking the sporadic cold arrows shot by the Yan soldiers suddenly turning around with the regimental card, they shot the Yan army cavalry off their horses one by one with their bows and arrows.

Before the Yan soldiers who fell from the horse could stand up, they were knocked over again by the Tang army's horses rushing up, and were trampled into flesh by the iron hooves of the horses.

A few Tang soldiers rushed to the back of the Yan general who was fleeing desperately, held up the horse's lance, and with the help of horsepower, the lance made the general Yan's heart feel cold.

In an instant, flesh and blood flew across the battlefield, and corpses littered the field.

"The whole army is attacking!" An Shouzhong raised his saber and roared angrily when Tang Jun came to the front of the formation.

"Drumming!"

The [-] Yan army's iron cavalry swept forward, like the Yellow River bursting its embankment, surging and rushing towards the Tang army.

The cavalry of the two armies collided like two tides, and the turbulent waves hit the shore, setting off huge waves.

During the high-speed charge of the horses, the cavalry on both sides held spears and horses, and stabbed straight with their spears.The Tang army's horse spear pierced the armor of the Yan soldiers, directly pierced the enemy general, and flew away from the horse's back.

The two horses staggered their stirrups, Hu Qi turned sideways, raised his spear to stab straight, the spear in his hand pierced the horse's neck, and then plunged into Tang Bing's chest.Hu Jiang grinned ferociously, took out his saber, and slashed at Tang Bing's neck.With one sword, Tang Bingxiao was headed.

A cavalryman of the Tang Army was pierced through the head by a Hu Qi spear, and blood splashed from his brain, splashing the Hu man's face.The Hu man's eyelids were covered and he couldn't see clearly, so he quickly wiped his face with his hands, trying to wipe off the blood.

Li Fei Yuanli came to him, swung his round long axe, and split the beard into two pieces with one axe.Hu Jiang was cut off from the waist, his legs and feet were still in the stirrups, and his upper body had fallen several feet behind the horse.

……

Yan's army is numerous and powerful, but Li Feiyuan's Ministry of Rites is outnumbered.

"Ming Jin!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Guo Ziyi immediately called gold to withdraw his troops.However, Li Fei Yuanli's cavalry was entangled and could not escape.The [-] cavalry were instantly swallowed up by the torrent of the Yan army's iron cavalry.

Before annihilating the cavalry of the Tang army in the center of the battlefield, the iron cavalry of the Yan army split up, leaving behind to entangle and fight with Li Feiyuan's Ministry of Rites.

"Fire arrows!"

Duan Xiushi ordered immediately.

"Swoosh, whoosh, whoosh"...

Thousands of arrows were fired, and the arrows were like locusts. The iron cavalry of the Yan army turned on their backs, and many cavalry fell off their horses one after another.But more cavalry relied on their shields to break through the rain of arrows and rushed to the fifty paces of the Tang army's position.

"The crossbowmen retreat, the spear array is ready!"

The archers at the forefront of the Tang Army's front immediately retreated.

Under Bai Xiaode's command, 750 spearmen dressed in bright light armor held up cowhide shields and crowded together to form a fish scale shield wall.

At the same time, the rear end of the long spear is stuck on the ground, leaning on the ground, and the tip of the spear is slanted upwards, forming a broken horse spear array.

Relying on the large number of people and the speed of horses, the Yan army directly attacked the shield wall and spear formation of the Tang army.The shield wall challenged the horsepower with the flesh and blood of the soldiers of the Tang army. After withstood the first wave of charge, it couldn't withstand the second wave of impact and was quickly defeated.

There are many spears in the array, like ice thorns piercing the sky, sharp and sharp.

The horse that hit the gun array was pierced through the belly of the horse by the spear.The spear remained undiminished, piercing the horse's neck, and then piercing Hu Qi's chest. The man and horse were nailed together tightly, like a gourd skewered with meat.

The spear array is extremely powerful, and it is a sharp weapon for breaking the cavalry. If it is an ordinary cavalry, it will definitely suffer heavy casualties and turn around and be defeated.

However, An Shouzhong's Turkic cavalry is an elite division of the prairie, known for its mobility and attack power.The use of tactics, almost everywhere has the shadow of prairie wolves, and has won the shammadhi of cunning and capable wolf pack tactics: moving back to guerrilla, encircling and harassing the enemy.

Turkic iron cavalry, composed of light cavalry, come and go like the wind, smashing the grassland: or wait for the opportunity to gradually separate the enemy army, outnumber the few, surround and annihilate; or send sporadic iron cavalry to harass the enemy so that they cannot rest; or take advantage of the enemy's exhaustion When unbearable, suddenly launched a fierce attack, a high-speed surprise attack, and hit it with one blow; what's more, they rushed thousands of miles, moved back to the enemy's rear, cut off their food and grass, and won without a fight.

The fighting Turkic cavalry was not in the least deterred by the Tang army's gun array, and quickly divided their forces into several waves. The first wave of cavalry charge failed, and they spread out to both sides, trying to break through the gun array on the left and right sides of the front army, panting In addition, it has the effect of disturbing the enemy, waiting for an opportunity to outflank and hunt at any time.

At the same time, the second wave of cavalry followed closely behind, attacking ferociously until they broke through the spear array.This is the wheel-to-wheel battle that wolves are best at, and the targeted prey cannot escape.Even as ferocious as a lion and a tiger, they are afraid of the frenzied bites of the wolves one after another.

Sure enough, although the spear formation stabbed to death the first row of Turkic cavalry charging, the second row of Turkic cavalry followed one after another.

The cavalry on the left and right flanks of the front army of the Tang army were almost slaughtered in the center of the battlefield.

Seeing that the iron cavalry of the Yan army was about to break through the front line of the army, they went straight to Guo Ziyi's central army and Wang Sili's rear army.

The rear army led by Wang Sili was in disarray, and retreated one after another before facing the enemy.

……

Li Chu, Generalissimo of the Army and Horses of the World, Guangping Wang, saw it clearly from the hanging bucket, and was furious.The cavalry of the former Tang army was wiped out, and the infantry line was about to be broken through. Guo Ziyi's central army was about to be exposed to the iron hooves of the Yan army.

Once the central army is breached and the rear army is defeated, there will be no danger to defend for several miles before the barracks.Li Chu was terrified and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to close the gate of the barracks.

Fan Chuan, the deputy envoy of the Shuofang Army, said urgently: "Commander, absolutely not, once the gate of the camp is closed, and General Guo has no time to retreat to the camp, our entire Shuofang Army will be wiped out!"

Li Chu said angrily: "Little soldier and horse envoy, how dare you disobey my general order?! If you want to talk more, drag it down to military law!"

　The green tree listens to the pelican.Even more naive, the partridge sounded, the cuckoo sounded.There is nowhere to be found when I return to Spring, and I hate Fangfei to rest.It's not arrived, parting in the world.Immediately, Pipa will close the black, and Changmeng, Cuiyan will resign from Jinque.Look at Yanyan and send it back to my concubine.

　　The general has lost his reputation after a hundred battles.Going to Heliang and looking back thousands of miles, the old man will never die.Yishui is rustling and the west wind is cold, and the seats are full of clothes like snow.A strong man, the sad song is not clear.The singing bird also knows how to hate, but it is not expected to cry clear tears and long cry blood.Whoever shares me will be drunk with the bright moon.
