-------------------------------------------------- ----

Gai Yu felt the ground under his feet shaking violently, as if he was about to stand still, the sound of iron hooves hitting the ground rumbled in his ears, and the orderly lineup of heavily armored cavalry was as heavy as a towering mountain Ordinary, but quickly pressed towards his left wing.

Mountains topple the seas, landslides and landslides!

"Block them!" Gai Yu's chapped lips could only utter a trembling and anxious voice.This armored cavalry is like an epee, sweeping straight at it with a mighty force.If they were allowed to crash into the left flank, the entire Black Crow Army cavalry might be directly disrupted by them, or even collapsed.

Hundreds of left-wing Shatuo soldiers immediately turned their horses' heads, roared, raised their knives and raised their guns, and rushed straight towards these steel monsters.

The narrow road meets the brave to win!

The Black Crow Army and the Black Banner Army collided fiercely, and soon the Shatuo people regretted their impulsiveness.

The Shatuo cavalry in the front row had just rushed up, before they could even cry out, they were blown away by the huge impact, and then fell under the iron hoofs in the back row.

The first row crashed, then the second row, the third row...

Under those black flags, everything is like the battle cry of the Black Banner Army. Wherever the black flag goes, they are invincible.

No one could stop the heavy armored cavalry in charge. Shatuo people's cavalry had always been proud, and they had never seen the power of heavy armored cavalry.Gai Yu is much better than those barbarians in Shatuo. He is a counselor who has read many books.He has seen in the history books the heavy cavalry who showed their demeanor on various battlefields and decided the outcome of the battle during the Jin, Southern and Northern Sui Dynasties.However, he has always believed that although the heavy cavalry has many advantages, it is actually no better than the Shatuo cavalry.

But now, watching the Shatuo cavalry collide with the heavy cavalry, and as a result, they were bumped all the way by the opponent like a piece of paper, and when they collapsed, he finally understood what a heavy cavalry is.These cavalry are not cavalry at all, they are a bunch of moving iron lumps.Shatuo cavalry and them go head-to-head, just like hitting an egg against a rock!

Row after row of Shatuo cavalry were knocked down by the unstoppable torrent of steel, as if they were crushed by paper and mud!

"Black flag!" Li Cunxiao, who rushed to the front, shouted loudly.

"Invincible!" Responding to him was the orderly cry of his brothers, Du Baiqi.

The thundering roar of the heavily armored cavalry of the Black Banner Army, which was rushing so fast, drowned out the screams of the Shatuo people under Gai Yu's command who fell from their horses, and the sound of the clash of weapons.Under this overwhelming, earth-shattering offensive, the hundreds of cavalry dispatched by Gai Yu couldn't even block it for a moment, and were instantly submerged by the armored torrent.

Gai Yu's heart was trembling, but at this moment, he had no choice.The impact of this armored cavalry is too strong.If they are not contained, the collapse of the entire Shatuo people is imminent.Under his shout, a thousand Shatuo Black Crow Army turned around and rushed forward bravely.The cavalry from both sides collided head-on once again, just like two waves colliding head-on, causing countless splashing waves.

The strength of the Shatuo people made Li Jing and Yu Yu, who were watching the battle in the city, sigh. If it weren't for the Tang army's absolute advantage, it would have led Li Keyong into a deadly situation, and they were fighting close to the city. It is really difficult to keep this Shatuo strong army.

The Shatuo people were indeed very fierce, but the spears in their hands slashed horizontally on the iron armor of the Black Banner Army, and they were shocked to find that it was useless. They were wearing a Shanwen armor and a Suozi armor.There are only two eyes and a few small holes in the nose and mouth all over the body. It is almost covered with steel, and its defense is stronger than that of a turtle.Even the horses of the cavalrymen of the Black Banner Army had iron armor on their horses.

To deal with the black flag soldiers, there is no sharp knife or gun. The most useful weapons at this time are heavy blunt soldiers such as steel whips, copper maces, maces, maces, and iron bones.Maybe those who use these blunt soldiers on horseback are soldiers with natural physical strength, and such people are one in a hundred.

On the contrary, most of the Shatuo cavalry are equipped with iron armor or pin leather armor.Every attack of the Black Banner Army can basically directly knock these Shatuo people off their horses.

In less than a moment, large groups of Shatuo people were killed.Just like the grassland blown by the autumn wind, Gai Yu commanded the follow-up cavalry to pounce on them continuously, but facing the fast-charging Iron Mountain, they were still knocked off their horses.

Whether it was a man or a horse, under the impact of the torrent of iron armor, they were knocked to the ground one after another. That momentum was stronger than iron, harder than steel!

Finally, Gai Yu regained his senses, and the Shatuo cavalry wanted to fight head-to-head with this iron cavalry, and it was impossible for them to win.These guys are like iron mountains, which cannot be knocked down by swords and guns.To deal with these armored cavalry, the only way to deal with them is Youdou, first pester them and fight them, wait for their charge power to drop, wait for their strength to be exhausted, then they will have no speed, no stamina, just a few piles of iron bumps , they can easily shoot them.

But Gai Yu rubbed his face in pain, he knew, what's the use of knowing these now.

The Shatuo cavalry on the left has been completely dispersed, and the speed of this cavalry has not slowed down.Now they still have strength and speed, and they have already smashed the left wing. At this time, they are about to stab the cavalry from the left side who are still rushing to kill the Tang Army infantry formation.

Gai Yu hurriedly ran to Li Keyong's side and exclaimed: "After staying behind, the armored cavalry of the Tang army is unstoppable. Brothers can't stop them. They have already killed them. Let's avoid the edge for now. When they lose their strength, we Go back and kill them."

Li Ke used to cover his wound on his left arm. Because of the pain, his lips were blue and purple, and he was still trembling.Hearing this, he turned his head and took a look, with a look of pain and confusion in his eyes.How could there be armored cavalry among the Tang army!

He turned his head and ordered to his adopted son next to him, "Siyuan, lead the Iron Forest Army to fight!" The Iron Forest Army is the most elite cavalry under Li Keyong. The total number used to be 5000, but now it is getting smaller and smaller. There are a thousand rides left.The Thousand Cavalry Iron Forest Army was also Li Ke's bodyguard.

There was a panic-stricken scream ahead.

The armored torrent of the Black Banner Army has already rushed straight, and it is close to the head.

The Black Banner Army continued to charge, the unique black military flag whistling in the wind.

After breaking through the left flank, Gao Shunli commanded two thousand armored cavalry to rush straight to the center of the Shatuo people without hesitation.With bayonets in hand and sabers in hand, the Black Banner Army marched forward unstoppably.

In this black torrent, the two teams under Li Cunxiao rushed to the forefront of the entire formation, acting as sharp edges.Under his leadership, the Black Banner Army is like a hurricane, and those who stand in the way are overwhelmed.The thunderous momentum, no soldier can contain it!

The wind howled overhead, the horse neighed in the ears, and the shining swords and guns waved around.

Li Siyuan led the Tielin Army and went straight up without hesitation. Cavalrymen from the two armies who were also dressed in black ran into each other, but they would not confuse their identities, because the Black Banner Army was more thoroughly black, and their faces were completely covered. The live mask is so distinctive.Fighting against the Black Banner Army, looking at the visor, always made Li Siyuan feel that he was fighting a lifeless puppet made of iron, who didn't know what life and death were.

Li Cunxiao was at the forefront, he took the lead, and crashed into the Tielin army led by Li Siyuan who came to fight.He was holding an extremely heavy iron lance, but the iron lance weighing dozens of kilograms was as light as light in his hands.The iron spear swung left and right in his hand, and no one could stop it at all.

None of the Shatuo soldiers who were within one foot of Li Cunxiao could pick him off.

Li Siyuan raised his gun to fight, the two sides fought only a few times, Li Siyuan had already been smashed by Li Cunxiao directly, spitting blood from Li Siyuan's mouth, and fell two feet behind like a broken kite.Li Cunxiao was about to stand up and take Li Siyuan's life directly. At this time, several Li Siyuan's personal soldiers fought desperately with their guns, entangled Li Cunxiao for a moment, and Li Siyuan was rescued by other personal soldiers.

Li Cunxiao killed those soldiers, saw that Li Siyuan had been pulled by the soldiers and fled backwards, he roared angrily, rode his horse and chased him forward.

His cavalrymen immediately followed his figure and drove the armored cavalry behind them forward.

The galloping armored cavalry, like a sharp arrow, deeply cut into the huge and bulky body of the enemy army, and every step forward inflicted greater trauma on the enemy.One after another, the once proud Shatuo cavalrymen were knocked off their horses.

Li Ke also discovered the strength of this iron cavalry at this time, and he personally summoned hundreds of cavalry to come to pick up the wounded adopted son in an attempt to curb this iron flow.

Li Cunxiao saw that Li Siyuan fled farther and farther, and was unable to catch up, so he couldn't help being very disappointed.At this time, he suddenly found a general Shatuo wearing a blindfold leading his troops to the front of the formation, and hurriedly shouted: "That blind man, you are Li Keyong!"

Being called blind, Li Keyong was furious, and said angrily, "This general is Li Keyong, the patriarch of Shatuo, and who is the unknown young general on the other side?"

"It turns out that you are Li Keyong, that's great." Li Cunxiao laughed a few times, and galloped forward, "Pull off the mask, and said to Li Keyong: "Look carefully, grandpa is the governor of the town , Qi Guogong Li Zhenguo's fourth disciple, Jiedu Yaya, Jiedu Pioneer, Li Cunxiao, the current commander of the Left Fourth Capital of the Left Battalion of the Black Banner Army, known as the Tiger Fighter General.I heard that you are also nicknamed "Flying Tiger", blind man, then we are destined to be, today, you flying tiger, let me beat the tiger general once! "

Li Keyong smiled angrily, "You dare to call yourself a tiger fighter. Whether you hit me or I hit you, it depends on your ability!"

The two horses faced each other and approached at a gallop.Although Li Keyong was injured in his left hand, he still used his right hand to stab fiercely.

Ma Qian drew a thrilling arc in the air with a stern sound, and Li Ke used the corner of his mouth to laugh ferociously: "Even if the tiger falls into Pingyang, it is not a vicious dog to bully, boy, take your life! "

Li Ke hit with a spear, but did not stab Li Cunxiao, Li Cunxiao did not dodge or dodge, directly raised his own iron spear and kept raising the flames, and directly swept Li Ke's horse spear from bottom to top.Li Ke's original strength was not as strong as Li Cunxiao's, and he injured his arm again. He only held a lance at this time, so naturally he lost to Li Cunxiao.

The two riders passed by each other, and before Li Keyong had time to dodge, the iron spear in Li Cunli's hand had already stabbed Li Keyong's abdomen directly, lifted him from the horse's back, and then threw him directly onto the horse's back. Down.

Just about to make up for it, he cut off Li Keyong's head.Suddenly, dozens of horsemen came directly to the side, Li Cunxiao killed right and slashed right, and after beheading these people one by one, he turned back, there was no sign of Li Keyong, he had disappeared.

The Shatuo people saw that Li Siyuan and Li Keyong had been shot down from their horses one after another, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead. They didn't have any fighting spirit at this moment.

At this moment, the sound of bugle horns came from the battlefield again. The [-] light cavalry who had been waiting on both sides finally saw the time, and the heavy cavalry completely defeated the formation of the Shatuo people. , After smashing the enemy's fighting spirit, the two wings sent out troops, and the thunder came over.

Sha Tuo's army was completely defeated and fled in all directions.

The five thousand Shatuo soldiers finally defeated Feng'an. Li Keyong's last stand failed to break Li Jing's siege, and was finally completely defeated by the black flag iron armored cavalry.Afterwards, the suppressors went on a large-scale cover-up, and the five thousand Shatuo soldiers died countless times. They continued to kill until sunset, when the suppressors counted the numbers.

In this battle, Shatuo participated in a total of more than [-] cavalry, [-] of whom were beheaded in the first battle, and more than [-] were captured in the end.A few of them would rather die than surrender in the end. They were forced to the edge of the Yellow River, turned around and jumped into the icy Yellow River, not knowing whether they lived or died.

Among the Shatuo generals, Gai Yu was captured, and many other middle and low-level generals were either killed or captured.

But Shatuo leader Li Keyong, as well as Li Siyuan, Li Sien, Li Siben, and generals Kang Chengyi, Xue Tieshan, etc., are all alive and dead.

Although Li Cunxiao insisted that both Li Keyong and Li Siyuan had been wounded by his horse, even if they escaped for a while, they would surely die before long.But Li Jing still firmly believed that these people would not die so easily.

Li Jing ordered to clean up the battlefield, and at the same time sent cavalry to search and kill Li Keyong and other Shatuo defeated soldiers. After several days in a row, more than a hundred people were searched and captured, but there was still no trace of Li Keyong and others.

Neither the living nor the dead were found.Li Jing even had people row a boat to search the lower reaches of the Yellow River for several days, but in the end the body was not found.

In the end, Li Jing had no choice but to give up the large-scale search, and only handed over this task to Xiaoqisi, asking them to send a team of killers to the Mobei area to hunt them down.Li Jing believed that if Li Keyong was still alive, he would eventually return to Mobei.

Later, Li Jing and Yu Jian wrote an account of the battle together, and reported the victory to Zheng Congxuan of Taiyuan and the emperor of Chang'an.

"After the victories of the towns, who do you think is the right candidate to replace the Northern Jiedushi? Which one of the three tribes is more suitable, Sage, Anqing, or Qibi?" Yu Jian asked Li Jing.

"Teacher, after this battle, it can be said that it is impossible for the Shatuo people to recover in ten or twenty years. However, although the Shatuo people have been eliminated, the teacher still has to beware of some barbarians in the Zhenwu Army. Regardless Whether it is the Helian tribe of Tuyuhun, or the Tuoba tribe of the Dangxiang tribe, or even the Sage, Anqing, Qibi, and other Hu tribes, you should be more careful. I think the land of Daibei is very important. Maybe, it's better to hire a foreign commander from the mainland to take the position, and you must not hand over this important position and territory to the barbarians, the lesson of the Shatuo people is right in front of you." Seeing that the class teacher is about to come, Li Jing He still reminded him a little worried about him.As soon as he left, Yu Yu was about to be surrounded by soldiers and horses.Li Jing was not interested in the vacancy of Daibei Jiedushi. However, after the Shatuo Rebellion, Li Jing really didn't want to see the court hand over such an important territory to the Hu people.

ps: This time I went to Hedong to fight the Shatuo people, and I did fight for a long time.It's finally over, and the protagonist is going back to Dengzhou as a teacher! (To be continued.)
