People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 812 The essence of cavalry, only speed can never be broken

"Dong dong dong!" The loud sound of drums sounded in the night sky, and the earth trembled for a moment.

Countless shadows rushed out like a torrent from the high slopes in the north.

On the north bank of the Yangtze River, there was a "pop" sound, and the raft finally hit the shore of the north bank, and then was locked tightly.

Immediately afterwards, countless Tubo soldiers jumped up on the rafts frantically and rushed to the north shore.

There was no Tang Army soldier on the shore, and there was no Tang Army soldier within sight.

Under the moonlight, it looked weird.

However, the Tubo soldiers didn't have time to think about it and rushed towards the tent behind them.

Behind them, countless Tubo soldiers rushed up to the north bank like a tide, and no one could stop.

This was the first time in many years that they had reached the north bank of the Yellow River, and the bloody excitement in their eyes instantly filled their heads.

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently.

A hint of surprise flashed in the Tubo man's eyes.

For the Tubo people living on the plateau, they know very well what this vibration means.

Everyone subconsciously looked towards the northwest. Under the moonlight, countless beacon smoke rose into the sky.

Hundreds of war horses rushed toward the shore like crazy.

The tall knight at the head, dressed in black and wearing black armor, had a [-]-foot-long spear hanging diagonally on the ground. He wore a ferocious silver mask on his face, which hid his true face and attracted more attention.

Within a mile, they were already being killed in the blink of an eye.

The cavalry instantly divided into two teams, one on the left and one on the right behind the camp, charging directly towards the bank of the Yellow River.

I don’t know when, but the fences on both sides of the camp on the shore have been removed directly.

The cavalry rushed directly through the open space and rushed through.

The black-armored knight rushed forward, but the Tubo soldier at the front didn't react at all, and his throat was ripped open by the blade.

The one-foot-eight long spear was like a light phoenix's beak, tearing apart all the Tibetan soldiers blocking the way in front of him like lightning.

The cavalry behind him even tilted their blades casually.

The incredibly fast horse speed instantly cut down countless Tubo soldiers on both sides.

Like wheat falling to the ground, countless soldiers lost their lives in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, two groups of cavalry rushed directly from the front.

Only the broken corpses were left on the ground, as well as the sticky blood on the ground.

The Tibetan forward and rear troops have been completely isolated from the shore.

"Charge!" A roar of gnashing teeth sounded from behind, followed closely by Hurel's ferocious voice: "Their cavalry is stalling, pounce on them and tear them apart."

Charge, at this point, the Tibetan soldiers can only charge, only charge.

At this time, in the darkness, the two groups of cavalry had quickly left the formation, but they did not immediately turn around to fight.

After some impact, their speed itself was already falling rapidly. If they turned around, they would really stall.

Stalling is the most terrifying thing for cavalry.

"Dong dong dong" bursts of loud drum sounds resounded throughout the world.

Before these Tibetan cavalry could figure it out, the tents opposite them were suddenly opened.

Hundreds of soldiers in black clothes and armor strode out from behind the camp.

These soldiers all held black crossbows in their hands, with the crossbow arrows loaded, and they immediately and calmly pulled the triggers at the Tubo soldiers who rushed over.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." Countless crossbow arrows created wonderful arcs in mid-air, like a rain of locusts, and instantly hit the Tubo soldiers on the opposite side.

"Ding ding ding..." The feather arrow penetrated the body and then nailed hard to the ground.

Hundreds of Tibetan soldiers were all penetrated in an instant and lost their lives.

More Tibetan soldiers have rushed to the shore, and behind them, more people are rushing forward.

No one can go back, only go forward and forward again.

The black crossbow was raised again, and the Tang soldier indifferently pulled the trigger, and fired the second wave of crossbow arrows.

The crossbow arrows were like a rain of locusts, piercing the night sky and hitting the Tibetan soldiers hard.

Densely packed, the Tubo soldiers fell to the ground like felled wooden stakes.

The crossbow arrows even penetrated the soldiers' corpses and fell directly into the Yellow River. Also falling into the water were the corpses of countless Tibetan soldiers.

The blood flowed directly into the Yellow River along the cracks in the stones on the shore.

One round after another powerful crossbow arrows had wiped out all the Tibetan soldiers on the shore. Even the Tibetan soldiers on the raft bridge were killed in large areas.

"The swordsmen and shieldmen come forward, the archers fall behind, let go of the arrows." Hurel's cold and angry voice sounded from behind.

Immediately afterwards, batches of shield-wielding swordsmen rushed onto the river bank first.

With a "collapse" sound, countless Tubo bows and arrows were shot out at the same time.

"Retreat!" A voice sounded from behind. The Tang Army's crossbowmen retreated quickly at the first opportunity. They retreated to the rear and quickly began to replace the crossbow machine, just in time to avoid the wave of bows and arrows from the Tubo people.

The Tubo swordsmen, shieldmen and archers moved forward quickly. It was at this time that the clear and heavy footsteps came again at high speed.

The faces of the Tubo soldiers suddenly showed great horror. How could they forget that the Tang army also had cavalry?

The two cavalry groups merged into one without knowing it, and rushed into the military camp from one side.

The general in black clothes and armor charged forward, the sharp sword in his hand passing in front of the Tubo sword and shield wielder like lightning.

Blood suddenly appeared from the throat of a Tubo soldier.

The speed of the cavalry was faster than lightning, and their sharp spears were like hot knives cutting through butter. They flew across the shore quickly, and each Tubo soldier fell to the ground.

Nearly four hundred cavalrymen passed by quickly, and in an instant, there was no trace of any cavalrymen left on the shore.The long arrows of the Tibetan archers fell in mid-air, "ding, ding, ding", and landed directly on the stone slab on the shore, without hurting any cavalry at all.

speed.

These sudden cavalrymen killed almost instantly and then quickly disappeared.

……

"Charge, keep charging, kill them all, use swords and bows, advance without retreating." Hurel stood on the raft bridge behind, waving his arms, gritting his teeth, and roared word by word.

More than a thousand Tubo soldiers had already rushed onto the raft pontoon, and those at the front had already reached the shore.

If they retreat at this time, they will never have any chance to reach the enemy's shore again.

Hurel knew best that there was something wrong with Adjoma's intelligence, and similarly there was something wrong with Usiza's judgment.

But so what, they Tubo people are the ancestors who played with cavalry.

As Hurel's order was given, another group of swordsmen and shieldmen rushed up to the shore. The speed of the archers behind them was not slow at all. They quickly lined up behind the swordsmen and shieldmen. The bows and arrows in their hands were aimed at the front. At the same time, it also aimed at the gaps in the fences on both sides of the bank.

After the bright moon, although the cavalry team rushed very far away, the Tubo people were still able to catch his shadow.

"Tap tap tap!" Heavy footsteps came from the front.

From the back tent of the Tang Army's camp, more soldiers rushed out in an orderly manner. Heavy long shields and light round shields were placed in front of or on top of each other, and they were quickly arranged in front of the crossbowmen. The pawn quickly stood in the center of the crossbowmen and sword and shield men.

"rush!"

The generals on both sides issued orders at the same time.

With a "boom", two black arrows suddenly rose into the sky, and in the blink of an eye they hit the ground, the shield, and some unlucky people.

Blood flowed from under their feet. Neither the Tang army nor the Tubo people hesitated at all, charging forward with indifference.

Less than 300 meters away, the two groups of men and horses quickly rushed together, their shields colliding hard, and their swords and guns piercing each other.

The next moment, Tubo was pushed around one after another, and the cold spear penetrated their chests in an instant.

The sword and the sword fight each other, the sword dies and the sword lives.

The one-inch long spear penetrated through the gap in the shield, drawing countless blood every time.

After a very short moment of confrontation, a hole was directly torn open in the center of the Tubo army formation.

Immediately afterwards, the Tang Army's long soldiers rushed in, and the entire formation transformed into an awl shape in a very short period of time.

The archers who were originally ejecting immediately turned sideways and shot wildly at the Tibetan cavalry from the gap between them.

Even though there were more Tubo soldiers rushing forward crazily, the width of their rafts on the shore was not enough. After paying countless blood, the Tubo soldiers were driven off the shore little by little.

Suddenly, the crossbowmen in the Tang army's formation stopped shooting.

"Their crossbows have finished firing. Charge!"

I don't know who it was, but he roared loudly, and then continued to charge forward fiercely.

"Tap tap tap" the heavy sound of horse hooves sounded again behind the fence on the left. The Tibetan people, who had long been suppressed by the Tang army's crossbowmen and long soldiers in front and could not move, had no time to target these cavalry.

In an instant, the cavalry galloping from the shore had shot out countless death arrows.

In the blink of an eye, the archers further behind in the Tubo formation were brutally slaughtered.

The bows and arrows shot out from the Tubo army formation stopped instantly.

The vertical shield soldiers in front immediately retreated towards both sides, the round shield soldiers immediately rushed forward, and more space in the center spread out.

The Changshang soldiers at the back immediately stepped forward and penetrated even more fiercely. In a very short time, all the Tibetan soldiers had been driven off the river bank.

At this moment, the sounds between heaven and earth stopped inexplicably.

The next moment, the Tang Army's buckler soldiers and Changsha soldiers stepped onto the raft bridge without any hesitation.

The raft bridge shook for a while, but strangely, these buckler soldiers and long-horned soldiers did not adapt at all. In the blink of an eye, they were already striding forward and killing the Tibetan soldiers on the raft bridge.

Countless crossbowmen stood on the bridge and immediately fired countless crossbow arrows at the Tibetan soldiers further back on the river.

The crossbow arrows immediately cleared away the Tibetan soldiers further behind.

Layer by layer, the crossbowmen standing on the shore took advantage of the slightly higher terrain to kill from above, quickly and effectively killing the Tibetan soldiers within range.

Under the moonlight, countless Tubo people fell into the river at once.

Large areas of the raft bridge were completely empty.

The Tang army's round shield soldiers and long-legged soldiers rushed forward quickly. Without the assistance from behind, the Tibetan soldiers blocking the way were quickly slaughtered.

At this time, except for half of the crossbowmen who were still shooting arrows on the bridge, the other half had already stepped onto the raft pontoon.

The Tang Army's killing efficiency was stable, high-speed, orderly, and terrifying.

Hurel on the raft bridge and Wusiza on the top of the mountain on the other side finally understood that the Tang people were actually planning to counterattack.

They want to take advantage of the opportunity to seize the Tibetan raft bridge and directly attack the south bank.

Counterattack, counterattack.

Capture the entire south bank, and then take advantage of the situation to sweep away the entire colleagues.

Huzile and Usiza subconsciously looked at the black armored cavalry on the north bank, which had stopped and returned to the north bank.

The leader was wearing black clothes and armor, with a ferocious silver face.

At this time, under the gaze of countless people, he slowly took off his silver mask.

He has handsome eyebrows and cold black eyes, his face is full of murderous aura, and there is a hint of cold ridicule at the corners of his lips.

Li Xuan, Li Xuan, King of Nanchang.

Li Xuan, the king of Nanchang, who was supposed to be at Lake Nile, now appeared on the north bank of the Yellow River, holding a long spear, standing tall on a horse, and staring at Usiza with cold eyes.
