The most powerful emperor grandson of the Tang Dynasty

In a simple cavalry duel, they might still win. I hope they have a little more people after all. No matter how elite the prairie cavalry on the opposite side is, they have traveled a long distance from the north and are much more tiring than us.

But the problem is that before the war begins, the Tang army will definitely use artillery. When our army rushes into the artillery, our attrition will be very severe. Before we even meet the enemy, we have already lost more than 1/4. , who can bear this?

"Awang, go..."

But no matter what, now they have set up a battle formation. If you don't organize the army to go to war, then wait for their artillery to blow up your military camp for a while, and their cavalry will still come up to harvest, and more people will die by then. .

After hearing the general's roll call, the general had no choice but to bite the bullet and go out with his 4000 cavalry.

The country of Piao is a small country and its people are weak. They say they have 4000 cavalry, but in fact they are just 4000 infantrymen on horseback. There is no so-called armor at all.

And there is no training in normal times. They will only fight on the ground. As for how to fight on horseback, only some people explain to them. There is no time for training. Now they are preparing for a decisive battle with the real prairie cavalry. Isn't this a joke?

General Mi Peng also knew that this was not going to work, but the memorials he sent back to the court were like nothing.

According to his idea, we should give full play to our advantages, so that we can not continue to fight them on the plains, but should retreat into the surrounding mountains and forests, waiting for opportunities to sneak attack the Tang army.

This is our strength, but the court of Piao State does not allow it. If you break the army into pieces and retreat to the surrounding mountains and forests, it means that you have lost control of these armies. The most important thing is that you will not When resisting, the Tang army will most likely move south and reach the capital by then. So what should we do?

Therefore, the Pyu State court turned a blind eye to the memorial sent back by the general, and also sent the core army of the royal family. Of course, these people were not here to fight. Their purpose was to monitor General Mi Peng and not allow him to control the army without authorization. Disbanded.

In fact, the royal family also understood that they were no match for the Tang army, but they still let the army fight like this. What they wanted was to fight a war of attrition. If people died on our side, people on the Tang army would definitely die as well, as long as it was from both sides. The army suffered heavy losses. The Tang army came all the way, so maybe they chose to station themselves in Wacheng.

Once the Tang army stops heading south, the imperial court can send out core personnel to negotiate. No matter what the situation is, they want to survive.

Therefore, General Mi Peng and his men were not fighting for victory, but for an opportunity to negotiate. At the beginning, Piao had already lost in terms of momentum.

Of course, this cannot be told to the soldiers on the front line. If we tell them this, I am afraid that the morale of these people will be even lower. What they originally wanted was to fight off the invaders, but now they just want a chance to negotiate. Will you fight for it?

Wuwuwu...I...

Three long and one short sounds came out. This was the attack horn of the cavalry on the grassland. Most of the cavalry responsible for the attack this time were Turkic cavalry.

They come from more than a dozen tribes and have traveled long distances from the north. However, they have rested in Nanzhao for less than half a month, so they don't see much fatigue on their bodies.

Li Xiang has already promised these people that as long as this war can be won, all the participants can resume their status as free citizens, but they will continue to serve in the army in the future, including their family members. Enter life in the mainland.

These people have seen the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and of course they do not want to stay in that bitter cold land in the north, so this battle is not fought for themselves, it can be said to be fought for their descendants. "Warriors, our enemies are in front of us, and our territory is behind us. Pull out your scimitars, mount your horses, and follow me to crush all enemies together. Long live the Tang Dynasty!"

A young Turkic king pulled out his scimitar. Everyone followed his actions and pulled out their scimitars. Looking from the side, the scimitars were neatly exuding a chilling air.

When they fought against the Tang army, they had no chance of winning, just because of the artillery behind them. But now the artillery is supporting them, so everyone is full of confidence. These people in front of them are their military exploits, and it is their descendants who can live. On the road inland.

"kill!"

Following the Turkic king's order, thousands of cavalry rushed forward like a flood. At the same time, the artillery in the rear had already begun shelling.

The cavalry of the Piao Kingdom learned how to do it. They knew that the Tang army would definitely have artillery, so these people did not rush to charge, but slowly strolled in place.

Their approach was effective. Without a charge, the artillery shells would not be able to reach them. Many of them frowned. Are we going to lose this time?

However, a smile appeared on Li Xiang's face. Everything has its pros and cons. You didn't charge. Although you couldn't rush into the range of the artillery bombardment, the speed of the cavalry did not increase. When the cavalry attacked, if If your speed doesn't increase, you've already lost half the battle.

Later, the prairie cavalry will rush into your camp. With its powerful impact, it will instantly disrupt your formation. And you are still wandering around slowly. How can you be the opponent of the prairie army?

"All-army assault."

General Piao may have understood this. When he saw the cavalry on the opposite side getting closer and closer, he ordered his men to rush forward. However, the pressure on them from the prairie cavalry in the distance was too great, and many of them were killed at the moment. They all saw it clearly, and some even pulled their horses' heads.

The reason why the cavalry starts charging very far away is because they can't see the enemy in the distance, so they slowly increase their speed. By the time they see the enemy, their speed has already reached a level where they can't stop at all. , they can only continue to rush upward.

But now people are like a flood that has opened, and the speed of the Pyu cavalry is far slower. Not only the people are timid, but their horses, too, want to run to the side.

"damn it."

General Mi Peng fiercely pulled out his sword... (End of this chapter)
