Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 799 The Tang Army Doesn't Practice Horse Warfare, The Warriors Follow Me!

Chi Tian and the others pretended to be miscellaneous soldiers, but they still looked decent.

In other words, they were originally miscellaneous soldiers, and Hu Guang almost couldn't tell whether they were pretending to be or if they really retreated in defeat.

Such an embarrassing escape naturally excited Hulun Jian's cavalry.

According to the excellent matching mechanism of the Hezhong Region, once the enemy makes such a mistake, they can immediately follow the cavalry and directly destroy the enemy's infantry formation.

Masood rode his horse in the first few rows. He came from Bossaro (Basra) under the control of the Bwehi dynasty.

This is a Cao Mengde-style dynasty that just occupied Baghdad four years ago, with Iraq and southwestern Persia as its territory.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who was controlled by them, was Dashi in black, the caliph Muti of the Abbasid dynasty.

At this time, the Bwehi dynasty was on the rise under the rule of the three Ahmed brothers, so the warriors (mercenaries) from Baghdad and other places were very popular, because most of them were very brave and good at fighting.

For the sake of vision, Masood simply took off the visor on his face, because he felt that the battle was about to end, and as long as the cavalry rushed into the infantry formation, they could slaughter at will.

"Boom! Woohoo!" There was a palpitating machine vibration and the sound of flying arrows.

Although Masood was also a little flustered, he quickly calmed down. The source of this confidence was that he was wearing a sturdy piece of armor.

This kind of iron armor composed of iron pieces connected in series is, in part, a variant of Chinese armor, or it is called a fabricated Chinese armor.

The source is the craftsmanship brought by the captured craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty in the Battle of Talas, but I don't know if it was intentional or not skilled enough, this kind of piece of armor is a bit wrong no matter how you look at it.

In this era, the Great Cannibal was at the center of the exchange between the East and the West. The chain mail that Europeans liked to use and the Chinese-style armor of the Tang Dynasty all had a huge impact on the armor of the Great Cannibal.

Under the collision, this strange combination of chain mail and iron plate armor was produced. After another 200 years, it will evolve into Turkish platter armor and Persian mirror armor, which belong to the unique skills of West Asia.

But now, it is still very rough. It is roughly covered with chain mail, and a piece of dense iron armor is used in the middle to connect the armor.

As for the protection, it's pretty good, but it's not as good as the Chinese armor, and it certainly hasn't been 'tested' by crossbows.

Plop, plop, with the sound of the crossbow being fired, the knights in front of Masood fell off their horses one after another.

Masood even saw several fallen companions who were protected by the same excellent armor as him.

Masood immediately became more careful. He pretended to be blocked by a nearby fallen horse, and then carefully pulled the rein to the left. It was this small action that saved their lives.

Because what they were facing was one of the Tabai Battalion in front of the palace. They were all equipped with crossbow arrows and Mo Dao. They were all tall and strong, and they were extremely difficult to deal with armored infantry.

After the three arrows were completed, the enemy cavalry had rushed to a distance of only forty steps. Du Yuhou, who was in charge of the command, did not panic at all. He waved the command flag, and dozens of infantry who did not participate in the crossbow shooting the enemy stepped forward with pear flower guns.

In the current Zhang Zhou army, the pear flower gun has finally played tricks. This kind of infantry pear flower gun is quite long. It adopts the mode of one person casting and one person igniting, which is more convenient to load.

Moreover, the infantry did not rely on this pear blossom gun to kill the enemy, so they gave up filling other items such as iron filings and arsenic, and instead added a large amount of gunpowder that could produce gorgeous fireworks.

It is characterized by loud sound and bright sparks, which are completely used to scare cavalry and war horses.

Sure enough, when the violent explosion and the brilliant flames erupted and swept past like a fire dragon, they frightened the horses out of their wits, screaming and stopping, and even turning their heads away. Running.

Originally, they were shot down by crossbow arrows during the charge, and the ground was full of corpses. At this time, they were frightened by the pear flower gun again, and the scene became even more chaotic.

The ones in front were scurrying in fear, and the ones behind were still speeding up, so that a wall was formed in front of the Tabai camp, allowing their own people to collide with each other to form a human wall.

Du Yuhou took the opportunity to shout, and dozens of armored soldiers who had finished firing their pear-blossom guns came out with big axes, and slashed wildly at the horse's legs.

As for Mo Dao, uh!That thing was only used when the enemy cavalry dared to approach them one after another after hitting this level, and it is not needed now.

Blood flowed profusely, corpses of men and horses piled up like a mountain, and the screams shook the sky.

As soon as they came into contact, the battle turned into a one-sided battle. The cavalry who rushed in were countercharged by the infantry, and the killed people turned their backs.

Suddenly, Jian saw from a distance that white froth was coming from the corner of his mouth in a hurry. He hurriedly ordered someone to blow the sharp river flute to summon the cavalry team to come back.

However, although he is an outstanding general in Guo Guangyi's side, he is far inferior to a master general like Hu Guang.

Hu Guang in the distance saw that these thieves could not even break through the first line of defense, so he quickly ordered the Shenshe towns on both sides to change formation.

Because it looks like it is very lethal now, but since only one side is in contact, the efficiency of killing the enemy is still too slow.

Therefore, under Huguang's order, the superior Tabai Battalion and Shennu Battalion in Shenshe Town immediately changed their formation. They formed a small formation according to the two fires, that is, 20 people as a unit.

This small formation has two rattan players, two big galleon players, four hook and sickle gunners or Mo Dao players, six spearmen, and six crossbowmen.

Among them, the rattan player defends against the stabbing or whipping of the opposite carbine, and the spearman defends against the enemy's cavalry.

The hook sickle gun/mo knife hand is responsible for hooking off the knight who dare not go straight, or cutting off the horse's legs directly.

The big galley hand is responsible for executing the knight who fell to the ground, and the crossbowman provides long-range output.

Moreover, these small formations are not far apart from each other, and they can also support each other, and those with the strongest combat effectiveness can even adjust their positions.

This is summed up by the Central Plains dental soldiers for hundreds of years, and it is specially used for nomadic light cavalry without armored cavalry.

As long as it is not overwhelmed at once, that is, the ten or eight small formations in front stand on their heels, no matter how many grassland cavalry come, it will be useless.

Even the Khitan cavalry of Abaoji's period couldn't resist this formation. As long as they didn't encounter the abnormal armored cavalry of the Dubeiwei Iron Cavalry Battalion of Regret Mountain, they would often win a complete victory.

At the same time, this formation has another advantage, that is, it can hide strength and show weakness.

For example, right now, the enemy cavalry who were attacking were dizzy after being hit on the head, but the Tabai Battalion suddenly changed their formation, and they suddenly felt that their eyes opened up.

Huh!The number of enemies seems to have decreased, and they are still scattered everywhere, waiting for us to trample on them.

In many people's little minds, they can quickly make up the illusion that we have defeated the enemy army, which can make them fall into the abyss.

Thus, Hulun Qiang, who was ordering someone to play the retreat flute, suddenly realized that his retreat order was useless, and the cavalry in front rushed forward howling like a male dog in heat.

Luo Yangui held a Mo Dao and stood at the front of the team wearing two layers of heavy armor.

This master was quite unlucky, he had already made his mark during the Qicheng War, but he was a young generation of Xiaorui, and later he made great contributions in the uprising during the Zhou, Liao and Luoyang battles.

But it didn't take long for him to believe Murong Yanchao's nonsense, and ran to Taiyuan with Yan Kunlun to join Liu Zhiyuan, and then Jize County was defeated and captured.

Originally, he was supposed to assassinate three thousand li according to the law, but Luo Yangui's father, Luo Huan, gave him the exoneration money with all his family property, and because Luoyang was considered meritorious, he was just released.

What is outrageous is that now Luo Yangui was recruited by Li Jixun and came to Talas again.

This is more than three thousand miles, five thousand miles is enough!
Therefore, Luo Yangui's heart bleeds when he thought of the five hundred guan forgiveness money that his father went bankrupt.

There is only one thought in his mind now, that is to kill more enemies, get more rewards and ranks, otherwise it would be too damn bad.

There was a mess of horseshoes, and although Luo Yangui was also the head of the fire, he was sent to the front with a Modao, because the other head of the fire had a rank of Wu Yilang, and his status was a little bit higher than him.

The speed of the thieves rushing over was not fast. They had just recovered from the chaos, and they were only thirty or forty steps away, and their speed could not be raised at all.

A mess of arrows rained down from the sky, and within a short while, Luo Yangui's body and the ground were covered with arrow shafts, making him look like a hedgehog.

The sword and shield hand will not protect Mo Dao hand like him who wears two layers of armor, but the crossbowman behind him.

'Boom!Boom! ' sounded, and the crossbowmen in the formation also began to fight back, and the thieves began to fall sporadically, at a slower speed.

Looking through the fine holes in the visor, Luo Yangui saw that the enemy cavalry was about to collide with him at most ten steps away, and he could already smell the earthy smell of the dust splashed and the unpleasant smell of the horse.

"Yu!" The team in charge shouted loudly, and the spearmen spread out in a semicircle, with shiny spear heads, clearly telling the opposite horse.

'Don't rush here, be careful of being gutted. '

At the same time, the crossbowmen who were shooting slowly and accurately immediately accelerated their shooting, and many even shot continuous arrows in a short time.

There is no need for any accuracy for about ten steps. At this time, one more arrow will have more lethality, and it will mainly shoot at the horse.

Sure enough, seeing the shiny spearhead, he was also shot by many arrows. Under the severe pain, the horse didn't care about giving orders, it just wanted to stay away from these ferocious and terrifying upright apes.

The incoming cavalry was like a river being diverted by rocks. There were at least two or three hundred cavalry in front of them, but they all circled around a small formation of 20 people and divided into two groups.

Luo Yangui was overjoyed, and immediately knew that these guys looked menacing, but they were just a mob.

Because the top armored cavalry, such as the Beiwei Iron Cavalry Battalion, they can draw out their hard bows when they are twenty or thirty steps away from the infantry, shoot two or three arrows in a row, shoot the spears in pieces, and then directly crash in.

The inferior Khitan armored riders were able to slow down, and use the protective power of both horses and horses to force their horses to squeeze in.

On the other hand, he holds a long lance and a hard bow and strikes condescendingly. As long as he crushes the one in front, he can easily kill him.

Again, the first-class ones, such as the half-armored cavalry of the Xiazhou Dingnan Army, they can also calmly go around the formation, pouring a wave of arrows, and then form a team in the distance, and so on, pouring four or five waves of arrows, until the spearmen I can't hold it anymore, let's break the formation again.

The enemy cavalry in front of me belonged to the lowest class. Although some knights were still wearing heavy armor, they dared not charge, could not maneuver, and did not increase their speed, so they were directly arrayed. The heavy armored infantry was diverted.

If you don't accept military merits so easily, you will be sorry for God's kindness.

Luo Yangui yelled loudly, and the Mo Dao in his hand flashed a white light, and the horse passing sideways neighed in pain, and its front leg was directly chopped off by Luo Yangui.

The knight let out a cry of alarm at the same time as the horse, and the big gallbladder beside Luo Yangui let out a roar before the cavalry fell to the ground.

Immediately, blood spurted out from the leather jacket, and the dead couldn't die anymore.

With a bang, Luo Yangui shook, and it turned out that a cavalryman stabbed Luo Yangui with a spear in his hand.

But Luo Yangui was wearing two layers of heavy armor, even if he was stabbed by a spear, he was not injured at all.

This instead aroused Luo Yangui's viciousness, he roared, and danced the Mo Dao like a horse falling from the nine heavens.

One after another, the horses were cut off or their front and rear legs were cut off by him, and the cavalry on the horses fell down like dumplings, and their hands were beaming with joy, like whack-a-mole, smashing countless heads in succession.

Seeing Luo Yangui's brutality, a group of cavalry began to run around the giant man who stood up to the same height as they were riding on the horse, and continued to run forward.

Then these idiots were immediately dumbfounded, because behind Luo Yangui, there were also countless six-foot-tall giants, wearing two layers of heavy armor, wearing iron helmets, and even their faces were protected by visors. Chinese.

Suddenly, Qiang's tears were about to come down. He stood up on a high place and could clearly see how much his cavalry had suffered after passing through the small formations scattered like plum blossoms.

A cavalry of 500 men walked around, and only 200 remained when they came out.

The retreating clarinet sounded even more anxiously. The enemy cavalry, who had been killed and turned on their backs, seemed to have just heard the signal to retreat, and hurriedly wanted to turn around and go back.

But they were killed so badly just now, and many of them were already frightened. It would be easier said than done to retreat from the formation of heavy armored infantry of this size.

Countless enemy riders collided with their own people, and some panicked and ran around like headless chickens, and their deaths were even worse.

They had completely given up the idea of ​​fighting, and only had the desire to escape. As a result, most of them were extremely easily strangled in the formation.

Yao Yuanfu looked at Hu Guang in admiration, this time the enemy cavalry charged the side of the Tabai Battalion in front of the hall with [-] cavalry.

Resisting the charge of [-] cavalry with [-] infantry, and at most [-] of his left tiger guards to support him, it seems that it should be very difficult to fight, but Hu Guang dared to let go of the phalanx and use the plum blossom formation to "scrape the oil".

This kind of courage is already high in the sky. Anyway, if Yao Yuanfu commanded him, he would never dare.

Hu Guang didn't explain, but ordered the ministries to repair for half an hour, and then continued to advance in battle formation.

Li Jixun, Yao Yuanfu, etc. naturally knew the fighting power of Shenshe Town, but they still didn't know the fighting power of the people in Hezhong.

They are garbage!Even if you pull it to the Central Plains, you can't beat the soldiers of the Gao family in Nanping.

Hu Guang, who was born in Anxi and grew up in Anxi, returned east with Zhang Ting at the age of 17, is very aware of the combat effectiveness of these people.

In less than an hour, Hu Lunjian lost 200 cavalry, including more than [-] cavalry wearing heavy armor, but he couldn't even rush the infantry formation of thousands of people on the opposite side.
Suddenly Lun Qian hurriedly greeted the thousands of cavalry who could still hear the order, and Sa Yazi ran away.

While running, I was thankful that these Tang'er horse troops were too weak. Although they sent hundreds of cavalry to pursue them, their riding skills were really poor, otherwise they would not have been able to run away so easily.

However, after running for only seven or eight miles, turning around a hill, suddenly Lun Jian met Guo Guangyi who personally led the army.

Guo Guangyi's face was ashen. If it was in the past, he would have called Hulun Qiang over to ask the situation carefully, and then choose what to do next after confirming the facts.

The reason why Guo Guangyi was able to rise to the top position was not because of his ability to fight and kill, but because of his mind.

But at this moment, his mind has been a little confused by the increasingly frightening future.

There are a total of [-] cavalry, including more than [-] heavy cavalry. This is an extremely powerful force in the entire river, even Saman Persia.

Guo Guangyi knew very well that even though there were [-] Creek cavalry among them, he himself would become the son-in-law of the Creek Department, but these people could not be counted as his subordinates, they actually came to follow him to gain benefits of.

Guo Guangyi had to lead them to kill Sui Ye, and even Shi Guocheng, so that they could earn a lot of money, so that he could be qualified to dominate them.

But after he dispatched troops, he still couldn't take down a small Hushui City after ten days of fighting. If he was defeated by an army of only a few thousand, he would also be defeated by an army that he himself scorned as a cowardly Tanger.

Then he, Guo Guangyi, would not even want to live, these defeated soldiers would kill him.

So Guo Guangyi didn't intend to meet Hu Lunjian at all, and he couldn't even let him portray Tang Jun as strong in front of everyone, because that would seriously damage morale.

Guo Guangyi, who had nowhere to go, grabbed Hulun Qiang by the collar of the guard who came to report the letter, and roared in a low voice: "I will give him another three thousand fine horsemen, so that he must trap that Tanger army until my relative arrives! "

Between Sanshan Pass and Hushui City, there is a small river. The river is not wide and not deep, but it is still a bit inconvenient to cross the river in heavy armor.

This is the reason why Guo Guangyi wanted to ignore Qiang's trapping Hu Guang's Western Army, and he also wanted to attack halfway across the river.

. . . .

As soon as Hu Guang saw the smoke and dust in the distance, the cavalry who had already fled in a panic ran back again, and it seemed that they had added some more manpower.

"The other generation escaped and came back, it must be that thief Guo Guangyi personally brought the army to come, probably wanting to attack us halfway.

Now you start the left and right cavalry and charge the more than [-] enemy cavalry. You must completely defeat them before the Guo thief army arrives! "

Hu Guang gave Chen Tingxiao careful instructions. My general manager Hu's command level is indeed extraordinary. Just seeing the bandits in front come back, I immediately guessed Guo Guangyi's intentions.

Chen Tingxiao had already been anxious when he saw the infantry making meritorious deeds, but when he heard that Hu Guang told him not to stay, he led a thousand fine cavalry out of the battle with a cry.

Li Jixie waited for a long time, but he didn't wait for Hu Guang to order him to fight, but he didn't dare to go up and ask.

Over there, he suddenly fled and returned, thinking of the combat effectiveness of the heavy armored infantry of the Tang army, his heart kept beating.

It turned out that the cavalry was coming from the opposite side. Thinking of the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty just now, I was overjoyed.

Then, suddenly Lun Jian saw the rain of arrows all over the sky. Although the cavalry under Chen Tingxiao did not belong to the pro-army and forbidden army, their combat was lower than theirs, but this low aspect was mainly due to military discipline and military formation.

As for these two things, the more powerful the dialogue, the more important it is, but if you are playing chicken, it is not so important.

Three consecutive shots at sixty paces, the hit is a momentum, and there are many people on the opposite side, they all gather together before they can run, and the damage is not low.

After thirty paces, the cavalry in the front row under Lun Qian's command was ready to charge. Chen Tingxiao kicked his foot, and another wave of crossbow arrows shot out.
But this time the crossbow arrows did not fall from the sky, but were shot from the height of the horse's knees.

This thing is called a small stepping crossbow, which is loaded on the side of the cavalry horse, and can be fired by stepping on it during war.

Suddenly, the cavalry under Qian Lun's command had never seen this thing before. They were just about to charge in, but they were caught off guard and shot down a large area.

And the most poisonous thing about the small crossbow is that its shooting position is very low, generally it cannot shoot people, but it can accurately shoot the enemy's war horse.

At the moment of charging, if one of the horses in front fell down, many horses behind would have to detour, so there was no way to charge.

But at this moment, Da Zhou's iron cavalry had arrived, and Chen Tingxiao swung his horse's lance, and with a single lance, he smashed the neck of the guy in front of him who was still turning the horse's head.

Like a hammer hitting the mud, the Dazhou iron cavalry not only pierced through the enemy cavalry with a single blow, but also killed them with flesh and blood flying all over them.

Suddenly Lun Jian was at the rear, and he saw with his own eyes that the two or three thousand cavalry in front of him were easily pierced and then chased and killed. He remembered Guo Guangyi's order in his heart, and once he gritted his teeth, the entire army would be killed. Press on.

But suddenly, his hairs stood on end for a while, because only half of the cavalry was chased and killed, and the rest came straight to him.

Suddenly Lun Jian's heart was agitated, but he couldn't help but put on a fake heroic smile.

"King Khan's warriors, those Tang'er came to the door by themselves, charged, let them know how powerful we are."

The surrounding cavalry were all infected by Hulun Qiang, and after a burst of howling and howling, they actually started to charge.

But at this time, the galloping cavalry of the Zhou army took out a hand crossbow at the same time. At this time, a small horned crossbow can be fired with one hand and can be wound in advance. It is also Zhou Jun's ultimate move. .

Six hundred hand crossbows fired at the same time with a kinetic energy of more than one stone caused huge damage, and each of them was equipped with two, which was equivalent to firing [-] crossbow arrows in an instant.

This terrifying lethality shot towards one direction, not to mention the garbage cavalry in the river, even the Khitan's leather army cavalry could not stop it.

In an instant, a huge gap appeared in front of Hulun Qiang.

Chen Tingxiao held the lance in both hands, he didn't see anyone or anything, including life and death. He didn't see life and death in his eyes, only Hu Lun Qiang in a gorgeous battle robe.

"Zi Dian, come with me!" Chen Tingxiao called out the name of his beloved partner.

'Herod! Zi Dian responded loudly to Chen Tingxiao, this third-generation sweat-blooded BMW suddenly raised its speed to the highest level, and the two of them joined together and rushed towards the target.

Suddenly Lun Qian looked ahead in horror, and the member Tang, riding a purple-red war horse, flew in front of him in an instant as if he had grown wings.

Then suddenly there was a sharp pain from Qianlun Jian's head, his eyes went dark, and he fell off the horse.

Chen Tingxiao's blow hit his head, and the iron edge at the bottom of the long lance's blade dented Hu Lun Qiang's skull.

Following behind Chen Tingxiao was a Xiaoqi from the Murong family in Guazhou. With a loud shout, before Hulun Qiang's body fell to the ground, he stabbed him with a spear, and then let go , let the spear stick the corpse on the ground.

More cavalry swarmed over, and countless pairs of horseshoes ran back and forth on Hulun Jian's corpse until the gorgeous brocade robe was completely integrated with the earth.

Originally, the tens of thousands of cavalry had suffered a huge loss just now, and they dared to turn back only by ignoring and entanglement. Now they only saw each other, the commander was hacked to death, and most of them scattered like birds and beasts.

Chen Tingxiao came back after going around in a circle, and after killing Hulun Qiang's personal guards who surrounded him crying and howling, he personally chopped down Hu Lun Qiang's banner.

This was a signal, upon seeing this, Hu Guang released the last five hundred Jingqi, Chi Tian and others.

For a time, the battlefield was full of wolf-running enemy cavalry, and more than a thousand cavalry of the Zhou army were chasing and killing wantonly in the vast land.
