Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 818 Burning Daning

The charge of two thousand armored cavalry produced the final result.

Just like a dump truck knocked over Old Tou Le, the riders in heavy armor charged forward while swinging their horses with all their might.Their cooperation is quite exquisite, and they are very familiar with each other. Even if a Shiwei rider escapes the first sweep by virtue of his superb riding skills, there is often a second sweep waiting for them.

Wang Chong almost rushed to the front.

He picked up a man with a horse lance, which made the horse sink, and then threw it out with all his strength, yelling up to the sky, like a ghost.

Arrows kept falling on his body and horses, and he laughed loudly, showing no signs of fear.

The war horse was panting heavily, and the momentum of the charge remained undiminished. With the swing of the horse, it swept down two or three horses in a row.

There was a warrior from Shiwei who slapped his horse to meet him, and when they staggered past, a sword pierced him.

There was no response, and the horse continued to charge forward.On the contrary, the warrior was picked up in the air by the leopard knights who rushed up later.

There are generally three ways for Lancers to charge into battle, to kill with spears and horses.

The first is to loosen the grip on the gun as soon as the enemy is stabbed. After all, the force is mutual. If you don't let go, the probability of the spear breaking is not small, and it is easy to lose your balance and fall off the horse.After throwing away the lance, draw out the secondary weapon in the sheath to fight, that is, fight with short weapons.

The second is to hang a rope behind the lance, tie it to the saddle, let go when stabbing, and then drag and rub the corpse on the ground to shake it off, and then pick up the lance.

The third is to provoke directly and then throw it out.This has relatively high requirements for horse warfare weapons, which cannot be broken, and horse lances are the best.At the same time, the requirements for the quality of the rider are also relatively high, at least the strength must be strong, which is generally used more when rushing infantry.

The war horses of Leopard Rider Capital are all carefully selected in the horse administration system. They are tall at the shoulder, heavy in weight, fast in speed, strong in impact, and there are no rigid requirements for endurance, as long as they are passable.

Therefore, when such a powerful cavalry broke through the formation of the Shiwei people, its impact, lethality, and psychological shock to the enemy cannot be underestimated.

After the leopard riders had charged through, the battlefield was full of chaos, dead people and horse corpses could be seen everywhere, and the rest of the Shiwei people were startled, their faces were pale, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

Formed armored cavalry, not only in the Central Plains, but also disappeared from the grasslands for a long time.Many people cannot adapt to this unreasonable charge tactics, and in the process of slowly adapting, too many people are destined to become the price.

The leopard riders who dispersed the enemy slowly slowed down, then turned around and launched a second charge.

"Withdraw!" Baza, who was lucky enough to escape the catastrophe, shouted loudly, and rushed to Daning City with his entourage.

His actions directly disintegrated the remaining fighting spirit of the Shiwei people, everyone turned their horses and fled in all directions.

People from Po Chou's Clan were taken in, and the fake defeat turned into a real defeat, which is enough to be useless.The tribal leaders became furious and killed a few of the fastest runners on the spot, then led the team in person and rushed back.

Behind them, more horsemen surged up, like a stormy sea, and slapped the Shiwei people who were fleeing.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!" The arrows flew across, and the Shiwei who fell off the horse and survived had no time to escape, and was massacred wantonly by the horsemen who came back head-on.

Thousands of people appeared on the grassland, outflanking from all directions.

The golden iron horse gallops freely, and the small city of Daning is like a small fishing boat in a storm, facing the danger of capsizing at any time.

Ba La rushed into the city in disgrace, and he couldn't even wait for everyone to come back, so he ordered the city gate to be closed.

The defenders on the top of the city were pale and trembling.People are afraid of death. Tens of thousands of riders have appeared outside, and the number is increasing. There are only ten thousand people in the city, and most of them are old, weak, women and children. With people panicking, can they hold it?

A group of bullock carts in the distance was surrounded by riders. The male drew out his spear and fought bravely. After a while, he fell down covered in blood.Women and children were pulled out of the car one by one, dragged and beaten, and guarded.

On the outskirts of the village, a group of people had just come out on horseback when they were blocked by arrows. Immediately there were screams one after another in the village, and even a fire ignited, and thick smoke shot straight into the sky.

A hunter just came down from the mountain and saw a group of riders wantonly slaughtering his compatriots. His eyes turned red and he fired arrows repeatedly, killing many riders.

More riders surrounded them, and with just one volley, they shot these skilled hunters on their backs.

Some people dismounted and went, beheading each head one by one, holding them with long spears, and threatening everywhere.

The Ministry of Reconciliation suffered a catastrophe!
"Boom boom boom..." The exciting drumbeat attracted everyone's attention.

On the open space to the west of Daning City, a full 3000 people dismounted and lined up, hundreds of them wearing armor, holding Tibetan spears and step bows.

There are flags erected behind the leader, and anyone who is familiar with Chinese characters will be able to recognize the words "Wanhu" and "Qianhu" on them.

The heads wear brass, silver, and sesser stones on their arms, which are their identification marks.If the defenders are more familiar with the Yichang, Wanhu, Qianhu, Baihu, and Xiaojiang systems, they will be shocked to find that the Tubo Empire is back!The Tubo Empire that once occupied the entire Helong and even defeated the Zhenwu Army is back!

The rhythm of the drums changed suddenly, and the Fans who had finished queuing up shouted suddenly, and rushed up carrying the wooden ladder.

The city wall of Daning is low, and there is neither an urn city nor a city god.

3000 people rushed over, leaned on the wooden ladder, and rushed up desperately.

Short combat was launched at the top of the city, and in almost an instant, the defense of the Shiwei people was overwhelmed.

The old and the young couldn't resist the murderous real and fake Tibetans.Moreover, they rushed too fiercely and desperately. A Tubo young man was stabbed down from the top of the wall, and soon a party member climbed up; a Uighur was shot to death by an arrow, and soon A Gamo man came up with a big shield, swung a knife and slashed.

Sogdians, Long family members, Tatars and even Han Chinese, one after another, as if endless, rushed to the top of the city firmly, crushing and crushing the defenders' resistance.

The dilapidated city gate was opened from the inside, and Tuyuhun Qingqi from Suzhou rushed in quickly, causing exclamations and screams.

There was thick smoke igniting in the city. It was because someone was hiding in the house to resist. The attacker was too lazy to kill or injure people, so he directly set fire to the house.

There was a sudden fierce fight at the east gate and south gate. It was because someone fled from the city and was blocked by Qingqi who were cruising outside.

A group of cavalry appeared in the east and northeast, numbering over a thousand, but they retreated wisely after seeing the densely packed manpower around Daning City and the silver spears waiting in full force.

Daning, it's over.

Yang Yue entered the city in the afternoon.

With his gray beard and hair, his expression was indifferent, as if he couldn't see the corpses all over the ground and the burned houses.He casually glanced at the dilapidated city, then snorted coldly.

"Have learned how to make cart tents, how to farm and make wine, and now want to learn how to build a city?" Yang Yue said in a sarcasm, "There is no chance."

A prisoner was escorted over. He could clearly understand the official language, so he glared at him.

"You bastard, your fighting skills are so poor, how did you become Mohefer?" Yang Yue asked, looking at Baba who was forced to the ground.

Baza's self-esteem was hurt, and he turned his head away without answering.

"Are you surrendering?" Yang Yue asked.

Ba La's eyes moved, but his self-esteem made him unable to open his mouth and say that sentence.

"Very good." Yang Yue smiled, and said, "Since you don't surrender, follow the rules, pull it down and chop it up."

Pulling his head back abruptly, just as he was about to say something, he took a knife handle in his mouth and broke his teeth.

The soldiers dragged him out like a dead dog, and after a while there was a scream, and then the head was sent up.

Yang Yue looked at the leader who still had a bit of fear and disbelief, and said: "No one under Mo Hefu of the Reconciliation Department will surrender, insult King Xia, and kill them all."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked sideways, but no one objected.

"Capture people, cattle and sheep, and goods, and send them back to Jizhou."

"As ordered."

"Send people to sweep the surrounding villages, pastures, and forest farms, and move quickly."

"As ordered."

Several orders are issued, and anyone with a discerning eye can draw a lot of meaning from them.

The people belonged to King Xia, and most of them would be used to expand his slave tribe, or migrated to other places.

Most of the cattle, sheep, and goods will be rewarded as rewards for the various ministries to send troops, but they still need to be collected and counted first.

Daning City is not the whole of the Ministry of Reconciliation, there are more scattered shepherds around.They graze on the pastures, farm in the villages, and log on the mountains—the closer to the east, the more different the living habits of the prairie people. Hunting, fishing, gathering, grazing, and farming coexist.

Heichezi Shiwei is also known as Yinshan Shiwei or Xishiwei, and is one of the "Five Northern Divisions" called by the Guochao.

The name "black car" comes from the fact that they are good at making car tents, and even the Khitan people have learned from them.

"Xishiwei" is because they once grazed in the Tiande Army and Zhenwu Army after they moved south and west.After the Uighur Wujie Khan died, his younger brother Ge Nian was appointed as the new Khan by the tribe. Then he was attacked by Xi Shiwei under the order of the Tang court, and fled westward into the sand moraine, where he disappeared.The last Uyghur khan with a righteous name disappeared. Pangtler, who originally called himself Ye Hu, and others proclaimed Khan, and the two Uighur khanates of Gaochang and Ganzhou were established successively.

This tribe is also somewhat useful, and it is impossible for King Xia to let his people be annexed by others.

Just as the Long family, who are good at grooming, raising, and taming horses, found jobs in various government-run ranches, the tents, ox carts, and horse-drawn carts made by Heiche Shiwei people are also quite sophisticated, and they are all professionals.

"Take a rest on the spot for a day, and pay close attention to the movements of Jin people." Yang Yue ordered: "On the other hand, let Yang Liang sweep up the black car, Shi Wei, and other surnames. We must fight slowly. After this time, the raiders There are not many opportunities."

The so-called Jin people are strictly speaking Shi Shanyou from Yunzhou and Li Cunxiao from Guizhou.

The former has few soldiers and can only protect itself.The strength of the latter should not be underestimated. He has relied on thousands of fine horses to suppress various tribes in the grassland all year round. On the surface, the three prefectures of Xin, Yi, and Gui ruled by him are all poor and remote areas, but he has controlled many tribes for several years. Li Ke used it in Hebei During the battle, Li Cunxiao provided a large number of horsemen for the Tibetans, which played a great role.

Moreover, he himself is very brave, with excellent arrows and spears, he is not so easy to deal with, no matter how careful he is, he can't be too careful.Furthermore, the Xuzhou War has ended for more than a month, and Li Keyong should have received the news long ago. It would be natural for him to make any adjustments.

Yang Yue's arrogance is arrogance, and she still has a clear understanding of this matter.
