Late Tang

(Thank you for the reward from the book friends of Fen. Feng, thank you, please subscribe and ask for a monthly pass!)

The two armies are getting closer and closer, two hundred steps, one hundred steps, sixty steps, fifty steps.

The cavalrymen of the five tribes roared like thunder: "Datang! Datang! Datang!"

Shouting the name of the most powerful empire in this era, the Hu cavalry of the five tribes also immediately boosted their morale.Even the Tang Empire, which was not as powerful as it used to be, is still an empire that these Hu people who live in the borderlands of the Tang Dynasty admire and fear.Calling out the name of the empire seemed to inject a passionate fighting spirit into their hearts.

Fighting for the Great Tang, using knives and swords, blood and sweat, in exchange for the fame and wealth bestowed by the Great Tang, this is the most anticipated dream of every Huqi.Taking the reward of the Tang Empire, living in the territory of the Tang Empire, if you can get an official position in the empire, or even marry a woman from the empire, this is the dream of every Huqi.

Now, these arrogant and boundless wolf cubs of the Shatuo tribe are going to die, which is the time to show the strength of the warriors of all tribes.In the past, the Shatuo people had always been the bravest cavalry among the tribes under the empire. Every time the empire recruited, these damned Shatuo people were the most important. Every time they ate meat and soup with the Tang Empire, they could only eat a little bone.

Tuoba Sigong and other tribal leaders are already used to living in the Tang Dynasty. They yearn for the life of the empire and don't want to live that barbaric life again.The damn Shatuo wolf cubs have all been given the surname by Li Tang's royal family, and they can't become the descendants of King Zheng, so they are still not satisfied.If he, Tuoba Sigong, could also get the surname bestowed by Emperor Li Tang and become a member of Li Tang's royal family, how great it would be to change his name to Li Sigong.

With such a dream, the bloody battle of Liuhu began.

Before the two sides had contact, they were already showing off their excellent riding and shooting skills on horseback.

Thousands of arrows were fired, and cavalrymen in the front row of the two armies kept falling down, but no one was afraid or panicked.

This is a war of warriors, and the Shatuo tribe is full of contempt for the younger brothers behind them in the past. When they fought for Tang in the past, these Huqi always rowed to their Shatuo people and obeyed their command.Now, if they dare to challenge the bravery of Shatuo warriors, they have to pay the price.

Tuoba Sigong and the others were not afraid of the former leaders. The Shatuo people challenged the Tang Empire by seeking their own death. Now they are the ones showing themselves to replace the Shatuo people in the empire.

This is a war of wolves vying for the wolf king, there is no fear, no retreat, only life and death, swearing to the death!

The two armies charged less than twenty steps, Tuoba Sigong roared: "Change the spear!"

The party cavalry in the front row who kept approaching the Shatuo cavalry immediately replaced their bows with cavalry spears.With the eight-foot spear in hand, the Tuoba cavalry began to lower their bodies, leveling the spear with their right hand, and clamping the spear shaft tightly with their arms.

The silhouettes of the two sides became more and more clear, and finally the two cavalrymen slammed into each other, the horses neighed, the spears broke, and the knights fell from the horses and screamed.Relying on the huge impact, the cavalry often only have one move in their fights.Whoever stabs the opponent with the spear first, with such a huge impact, can directly pierce the knight on the horse and fall off the horse.

The cavalry's hedging may be the most tragic battle. The cavalry who rushed in front often stabbed the opponent to death, but he was immediately stabbed to death by other cavalry.Under these violent collisions, as long as you accidentally fall off the horse, you will definitely die.In the cavalry battle, apart from death, almost no seriously wounded survived.

In just a split second, hundreds of elite cavalry fell on both sides of the collision.

The follow-up cavalry on both sides continued to charge without any fear or chaos.There is no wandering, no chasing, just the simplest and most tragic charge at each other.Under the watchful eyes of countless Tang troops, the Liuhu cavalry fought bloody battles to the death, showing their most fierce and tenacious side.

The 5000 cavalry from the town did not rush forward to join the battle group. Under the leadership of Zhang Chengye, the [-] cavalry drove [-] cavalry on the other side of the battlefield. Innumerable smoke and dust, and the tall banner of Li Jing's handsome flag looming in the middle, made the Shatuo people very nervous, and had to draw some soldiers from the existing troops to guard against the flanking Li Jing's cavalry joining at any time warband.

The number of Hu cavalry from the five tribes led by Yu Yu reached [-] cavalry, which has an absolute advantage. Although they are tired, the Shatuo soldiers are even more tired than them.Although the Shatuo people have been the most powerful among the Hu tribes attached to the Tang Empire for decades, the five tribes united and did not lose much to them.

"Don't fight with them, just rush all the way to join the army in the camp!" Yu Guan saw that the Shatuo people had pulled out a lot of soldiers and horses to join the intercepting cavalry. Li Siyuan and Li Sizhao got reinforcements at this time, but instead No longer forcefully blocked, but started to swim and fight.

Seeing that the Shatuo people were intimidated by them, the five-hu cavalry became even more excited, and once again roared into the sky: "Datang! Datang! Datang!" Like hungry wolves, they rushed towards the sand in front of them even more fiercely. Tuo people.

Li Keyong also did not expect that the cavalry of these five tribes would actually work so hard for the Tang Dynasty. He forgot that their Zhu Xie clan had worked for the Tang Dynasty for several generations, but hated these cavalry for being too stupid.In anger, Li Keyong personally led the cavalry to kill him.

The Shatuo cavalry fought bloody with the cavalry of the five tribes.

After seeing the arrival of the reinforcements, the infantrymen in the Tang army's camp turned from despair to surprise.Zheng Congxuan couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw how strong the cavalry came to aid, and swung the jade sword forward in his hand, shouting, "Where are the generals!"

The generals responded, and Zheng Congxuan waved his sword: "Beat all the drums to cheer for the army, blow the charge horn, and pass on the commander's order, the whole army will fight back, and kill all the rebels!"

The humming horns continued to sound passionately, and the pounding of the war drums also vibrated vigorously.

The generals of the Tang army who were still struggling to support the front line jumped up one after another, swung their swords and shouted forward: "Attack, attack, attack!"

"Kill the Sha Tuo dog!"

The Tang soldiers who survived the desperate situation were full of morale at this time, and their exhaustion and hunger were temporarily swept away. They carried spears, horizontal knives, and shields, rushing out of the dilapidated camp like a tide, Bursting out bursts of loud roars killed the Shatuo people.

The cavalry used by Li Ke had just blocked the impact of the cavalry of the five tribes, and the dying infantrymen of the Tang camp rushed out behind them, directly allowing Li Ke to face the enemy with their backs.At this time, the situation has gradually turned against the Shatuo army. What worries Li Keyong in particular is that on one side of the battlefield, the flag of the suppressor Li Jing is flying there, and a cavalry is there amidst countless smoke and dust.

He is very afraid of Li Jing, although Li Jing has not fought a few decent wars with them since he entered Jin Dynasty.But Li Jing was the most fearful of all the Tang generals, because the other Tang generals basically fought against him and were defeated by him.Only this Li Jing was quite cunning, not only like a cunning fox, but also like a poisonous snake that had been hiding in the grass and preparing to give him a fatal blow.

When Li Jing uses troops, he likes to gain power and win people with power.Every time it's not moving, it's like thunder.Just like the current battlefield, Li Jing's thousands of cavalry have been placed on the side of the battlefield, and they have always refused to join the battlefield. This makes Li Ke use some soldiers and horses to deal with them at any time.The flag flying on the battlefield was like a sharp sword hanging over his head, and he could never know when he would fall, so it was always threatening him.

"Restraint, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to us, why not temporarily retreat to Shanyang City to rest for a while." Seeing that the situation is unfavorable, Li Youjin rushed to propose, "We have already burned the Tang army's food and grass, and the Tang army lost in the battle last night. It's terrible, now that the Tang army has attracted Yu Yu and Li Jing's cavalry back, let's retreat to the city."

Li Ke used to ponder for a while, while he pondered, his one eye kept staring at the handsome Li Jing flag on the flank of the battlefield.In the end, he still had scruples about Li Jing's cavalry, so he decided to withdraw his troops and return to the city.

The horn sounded to withdraw troops, and the [-] cavalry of Sha Tuo's army went out to fight in the city. At this time, there were still [-] cavalry left.

The lack of credit, although Li Ke used to estimate that they killed at least a multiple of the Tang army, they still failed to defeat the [-] Tang army infantry in the end.Although he was unwilling, Li Keyong didn't dare to take risks and continue fighting now that Yu Juan and Li Jing had arrived.

Although the Shatuo people retreated, they were worthy of being the elite division of a hundred battles. They retreated in an orderly and orderly manner.The cavalry of the five tribes wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the enemy's retreat to directly kill the Shatuo people, but in the end, because they were too aggressive, Li Ke used a sudden shot back with his carbine, hitting Helian and Tuo who were in the front Babu ran away with his head in his arms and almost collapsed.

Zheng Congxuan hurriedly issued an order to prevent the five tribes from pursuing them, so he let Li Keyong withdraw his troops.

Seeing that the Tang army was no longer pursuing them, Li Keyong led [-] cavalry to the city of Shanyang.The soldiers and horses arrived at the bottom of the city. Seeing Li Keyong returning to the city, the defenders quickly opened the city gate and lowered the suspension bridge.

The cavalry of the former army had already entered the city, and Li Ke used himself to go all the way to the rear, but at this time he was still in the rear.Riding on the horse, Li Keyong's mind was full of confusion, thinking about how to solve the current situation, when he suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing in front of him.

His complexion changed drastically, and he looked up quickly, only to see that at some point, the south gate of Shanyang City was in chaos, shouting and killing everywhere.

"My lord, something is wrong. Shanyang City was taken by Li Jing. Just now the town policeman pretended to be our army guarding the city and let my former army enter. Then he suddenly blocked the city gate with huge stones. Now the former army Xue Zhiqin and three thousand The cavalry is completely blocked in the city." Li Siyuan rode his horse and reported with a pale face and panic.

"What!" Li Keyong's eyes darkened, and he almost fell off his horse, "How is this possible? Li Jing is still in the Tang army's camp dozens of miles away, but how could he steal our city quietly and return to the city?" Set up an ambush here to lure our three thousand soldiers into the city?" (To be continued.)
