Chapter 858

Li Shimin's desperate attack, on the other hand, also looks a bit desperate.

In the evenly matched decisive battle, Li Shimin and Li Chongjiu are both famous generals for a while, whoever should seize the key to victory first, does not depend on who is more powerful, but on who makes mistakes first.

Li Shimin ordered the cavalry of the Tang Army, which was covering the infantry, to retreat early, with the intention of protecting Li Tang's cavalry, a vital force, but he did not expect that Zhao Jun's slab walls could be opened, closed and disassembled automatically.

With the board wall removed, Zhao Jun's strongest armored cavalry charged Li Tang's infantry phalanx without hindrance.The heavy cavalry opened up the formation of the Tang army, like a black carpet, being pulled up from the bottom by force.Under the impact of the armored and heavy cavalry, there was a scene of people turning their backs everywhere.

There were cries for help one after another.

The soldiers of the Tang army beside the trebuchet and the bed crossbow saw that the phalanx formed by the heavy shield soldiers had been flattened, and immediately discarded their equipment and fled backwards.And these people were brought by the heavy cavalry who quickly passed by behind.The horses, dressed in thirty-pound armor, rampaged through the crowd. Soldiers of the Tang Army were thrown, knocked away, and trampled by their hooves.

Seeing this scene, Xu Shiji immediately shouted: "Pass the order, Luo Shixin, Su Dingfang each led a light cavalry attack, hitting the Tang army's two wings, and covering Ugunai's cavalry back."

Hearing what Xu Shiji said, the lieutenant-general at the side revealed an incredulous look and said, "But General, our armored cavalry is fighting against the Tang army. Why do we have to withdraw... Yes, General, I will obey orders."

Immediately, the sound of ding ding sounded, and Xu Shiji lowered the command flags on the left and right sides of the flag at the same time, and Luo Shixin and Su Dingfang on both sides each led [-] cavalry to attack.The cavalry of Luo Shixin and Su Dingfang vented away like a flood that opened the gate, galloping like dragons on horseback.

Seeing Luo Shixin, after Su Dingfang's cavalry attacked, at this moment Xu Shiji bent his horsewhip, with a resolute look in his eyes, he drew his long sword and pointed forward.But hearing a roar, Zhao Jun's infantry phalanx began to advance, and the soldiers stomped the ground majesticly and forcefully, and the ground trembled slightly.

Zhao Jun's phalanx was not advancing fast, but the momentum of the [-] infantry advancing was like a towering mountain with a solid wall.

The moment Li Chongjiu saw Xu Shiji taking back the armored cavalry, he nodded to Ji Chuan, and Zhang Xuansu said: "Xu Shiji is really a man who knows how to fight."

The two said together: "It is His Majesty who knows people and uses them well, so that General Xu can show his talents."

Li Chongjiu laughed and said nothing.

The eight infantry phalanx of the Tang Army in front were instantly flattened by Zhao Jun's armored cavalry, but Li Shimin's face did not change, but he ordered in a deep voice: "Order Sheng Yan Division, Wu Heikai leads the Mo Dao Army to meet Zhao Armored cavalry."
"Order Zhai Changsun and Qiu Xinggong to lead the Xuanjia Army. After the Modao Army attacks, they will encircle from behind and annihilate Zhao Army's armored cavalry."

A moment later, when Li Shimin saw Zhao Jun's heavy armored cavalry retreating, he shouted angrily, "After killing for a while, I want to leave. If this is some place, let Zhai Changsun and Qiu Xinggong stop them for me, at all costs."

Fang Xuanling heard what Li Shimin said, and quickly dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, the Zhao army has sent left and right wing cavalry to respond to the armored cavalry. If the Xuanjia army attacks, it is very likely that they will be besieged by the Zhao army's light cavalry."

Li Shimin clenched his fists tightly and shouted: "Let the Modao army move to the left flank to prevent the Zhao army's cavalry from clashing, and then order Shi Danai to lead You Yi's army to countercharge the Zhao army's right-wing cavalry. In the Chinese army, don’t move for now.”

Speaking of this, Zhao Jun's infantry phalanx was already approaching, but he saw a cold light in the distance, the iron armor was shining, Zhao Jun's infantry's helmet fringe, moving against the wind, like countless flames flickering on the sea of ​​metal, Zhao Jun The phalanx of army infantry is approaching like an iron mountain, which is almost breathless.

Li Shimin waved his hand to the north and said: "The order goes on, Niu Jinda leads the Drum Banner Army, Shi Wanbao leads the Xuan Ge Army, Dugu Yanyun leads the Jing Yue Army, Gongsun Wuda leads the Cavalry Army, and the four generals will meet the Zhao Army!"

"promise!"

After the soldiers listened to the order, the banner of the Tang Army Zhongjun waved.

"The Drum Banner Army marches forward!"

"Xuan Ge Army advances!"

"Jing Yuejun don't lag behind, keep up!"

"The cavalry army will follow the general to kill the enemy!"

For a moment, there was a powerful sound of stamping on the ground, and the smoke and dust billowed.One-half of the infantry in the Tang army's formation split from the formation and moved forward.

On the left wing of the Tang army's infantry, the Tang army's cavalry stepped forward like a thunderbolt, covering the retreat of the infantry who had been defeated by Zhao Jun's armored cavalry in front.Shi Danai led You Yijun to countercharge the cavalry of Su Dingfang on the right wing of the Zhao army.

Horses chirped and chirped, countless iron hooves stomped on the ground, rumbling.

Many pawns couldn't stand this moment, and covered their ears with their hands.

"kill!"

The cavalrymen of the two armies drew out their sabers one after another, and rushed towards each other roaring.Most of Su Dingfang's cavalry were Lancers, while Shidanai was Western Turkic cavalry, mostly machetes.

The cavalry of the two armies confronted each other. At this moment, countless horses turned their backs, and the horses hit by arrows neighed to the sky, overturning the cavalry on their backs.

Zhang Xuansu and Ji Chuan were speechless after watching such a tragic scene.

Luo Shixin's cavalry on the left could not perform in front of the Mo Dao army of the Tang army. They just brushed the Mo Dao formation and moved to the side. However, Wu Gunai's armored cavalry successfully responded and returned to the camp of the Chinese army.

The drums beat.The infantry of both armies are advancing, and their respective archers are scattered in front of the infantry phalanx, shooting arrows at the opposing phalanx.

During the advance, some soldiers fell to the ground from time to time.

But the soldiers of the two armies didn't even look at them, and the vacant positions in the formation were immediately filled.In such a battle, the soldiers were either extremely excited or extremely numb.

At the moment of advancing, many soldiers picked up the jugs around them and drank, using wine to anesthetize themselves.After the moment when the heart beat like a drum slowed down, he raised his head and looked forward, but saw that the formation ahead was like a forest of spears and armor like a mountain, and they were much closer to each other.

"There are so many Tang troops!"

"But the tactics are always the same."

"Then just deal with it as usual."

The soldiers were chatting, and the captain on horseback kept galloping past, shouting: "Hold your feet! Shoulder to shoulder! Close to left and right!"

"The gun is flat!"

"Slow down!"

The soldiers had resolute faces, held their spears, and looked straight ahead.The eyes of the soldiers were attracted by the enemy in front of them, staring at them silently, even being shot by arrows and falling from their side, they could not attract their thoughts for a moment.

"kill!"

As the two armies got closer, the silent soldiers all burst into shouts, and countless gun barrels clashed in the air, crackling and crackling, and the sound rang out.

Li Shimin took a few steps forward on his horse and said, "Don't worry about Zhao Jun's infantry phalanx, pass down the order, let Qu Tutong, Cheng Yaojin, and Zhang Gongjin lead [-] cavalry to attack Li Chongjiu's Chinese army camp, and let Tong Yehu also Send [-] cavalry and tell him the outcome is at this moment!"
