Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 554 The Great Showdown (5)

After being attacked by the ballista of the Tang army, although the charge formation of the Tubo two-winged cavalry was a little messy, the hierarchy was still well maintained. They were all arranged in three or three echelons. The two cavalry formations in front were all miscellaneous soldiers mobilized from the various tribes of Tuyuhun without exception, the shouts were loud, but the combat effectiveness was only average, and the troops scattered when they rushed forward Compared with the Tubo elite cavalry who held the formation at the end, the trend of the battle is really inferior. The victory lies in the large number of people, but it is also impressive. But seeing tens of thousands of horses galloping wildly, smoke and dust billowed up, The murderous aura soared to the sky, long horses with handles stood like a forest, and scimitars gleamed with the cold light of death in the sun, gathering like waves like waves to form an almost unstoppable torrent of steel, the momentum can be described as compelling Extreme!

"Fire arrows!"

"Fire arrows!"

As the distance between the two armies shortened sharply, the sprinting speed of the Tubo army's cavalry formation became faster and faster. In an instant, they rushed to the distance of less than [-] steps from the Tang army's formation. Commander Lu Dayong gave the order to attack almost at the same time, but when he heard the sound of machine springs, the bowmen of the Tang Army who had already been ready shot the arrows in unison. Tens of thousands of steel arrows and feather arrows covered The sky pierced the sky as if covering the sun, and shot into the Tubo vanguard cavalry like rain. In an instant, the howling sound shook the sky, and almost one-third of the Tubo vanguard cavalry Falling on the road of charging, the huge formation of cavalry that looked so thick turned into a sparse sieve in an instant, but the remaining Tubo cavalry did not stop charging at this point. Ma Rufei concealed and killed Tang Jun's formation.

"Crossbowman, retreat! Mo Daoist, step up!"

After being ransacked by Tang Jun's random arrows, although the formation was adjusted quickly, the delay was extremely short, at most only a few breaths, but for Tang Jun, it was defensive The key point is that almost at the same time when the Tubo vanguard cavalry formation was being adjusted, the two generals Xiao and Lu also issued the order to change formation. Withdrew from the gap deliberately left in the shield sword formation. At the same time, the Mo Dao fighters who had been on standby for a long time stepped forward in unison, and lined up in two rows with thousands of swords. The thick and long Mo Dao was slightly raised, and it slanted straight into the sky. Without any bold words, the awe-inspiring evil spirit was already spontaneously aroused!

"Raise the knife!"

Just when the Tubo vanguard cavalry rushed to a distance of less than [-] steps from the Tang army's formation, the commanders of the Modao army on the left and right flanks issued general orders at the same time. At the same time, it was lifted up, and the long and wide blade reflected the extremely cold light under the sunlight, making it daunting.

The Tubo vanguard cavalry is full of miscellaneous soldiers from various tribes of Tuyuhun. Although most of them have never fought against the Modao team of the Tang army, they have heard from their parents about the sharpness and might of the Modao team. At the same time, the Tuyuhun cavalry was defeated by the Modao team. When it comes to the ruthlessness of the Modao team, in Tuyuhun, it can really cure children from crying. Arranging to meet each other, the Tuyuhun cavalry on the left and right flanks were all suffocated, but the distance between the two sides was so close that it was absolutely impossible to draw back their horses and turn around, and all the Tuyuhun miscellaneous soldiers could only hold back. He rushed forward furiously, hoping to use the impact of the galloping horses to smash Tang Jun's Mo Dao formation in one fell swoop.

"In, cut, turn, cross..."

Since the Tuyuhun miscellaneous soldiers wanted to be brave, the Mo Dao hands of the Tang Army would not be polite at all. As the commander's high-pitched password sounded, the Mo Dao hands in the front and rear rows slashed horizontally and vertically with their knives, left and right. Picking the right and wiping, advancing like a wheel, where the blade passes, people and horses are smashed, and countless corpses are flying all over the sky accompanied by endless blood, which fully demonstrates the power of Modao——Modao is extremely difficult to make, and a skilled It takes a month and a half for a knife maker to make a Mo knife, and the training of a Mo knife hand is even more difficult. It requires not only a strong body, tough endurance, but also nerves of steel. Without three years of long-term training, it is impossible to become an army at all. Even if the Tang army has many brave men, less than one ten Mo Dao hands can be trained. With the strength of the Anxi Tang Army, there are only two thousand Mo Dao hands. , but there are so few two thousand mo swordsmen, as long as they stand in front of the formation, they will be the rock and the mainstay. No matter how madly the Tubo vanguard cavalry charge, they will not be able to cross the thunder pool half a step.

Death, or death, anyone who dares to charge forward will die, the difference is only the difference in how many pieces the body is broken into. Once this kind of tragedy happened, the remaining Tuyuhun miscellaneous soldiers from the first wave were all terrified. Ken rushed up again and suffered death for nothing, and all twisted their horses' heads and fled into the diagonal stabbing. It was just a face-to-face shock. Nearly half of the [-] cavalry on the left and right wings were killed and injured in the first wave, and the rest fled. , has completely lost its combat effectiveness.

"Release the arrow! Release the arrow!"

Although the first attack cavalry formation of the Tubo army was completely defeated, before the Tang army could make corresponding adjustments, the second wave of cavalry formations had already rushed to the front one after another. All the cavalrymen held strong bows, and before they could fully reach the front of the Tang army, they shot random arrows at the Modao team who had no time to withdraw.

"Shield swordsmen, go up, line up, line up!"

The cavalry used by the Modao team to deal with the wild charge is naturally easy to capture, but if they face the cavalry formation of cavalry and archery, they can only become arrow targets. After being shot by this random arrow, the Modao was caught off guard. The team suffered a huge loss. The number of casualties, which were originally only a dozen or so, suddenly increased to more than two hundred. The two generals, Xiao and Lu, were so anxious that their eyes were red, and they shouted and ordered the shield sword to step forward to cover Mo Dao hand retreated.

"Get out!"

Although Tang Jun's shield swordsmen are all well-trained and quick to act, it takes time to set up an formation. Fang Zi was in chaos when he saw the second wave of Tubo cavalry in the formation. With a sudden roar, all the Tubo cavalry discarded their bows and crossbows in unison, and quickly drew out the scimitars at their waists. A horse accelerated and crashed into the Tang army's shield formation that was not stable.

The infantry confronted the cavalry on the plains, and they were always at a disadvantage. Unless they formed an formation to fight, otherwise, even the strong soldiers of the Modao team were definitely not opponents of the cavalry. What happened to the shield swordmen just proved this hard-to-find truth—although all the shield swordmen of the Tang army resisted and fought desperately, but in front of the galloping cavalry, they seemed so helpless, only one face-to-face After the collision, the incomplete shield formed by more than [-] officers and soldiers each was smashed to pieces by the second wave of Tubo cavalry, causing heavy casualties. Fortunately, their sacrifice was finally won for the adjustment of the Modao team. Precious time for adjustment.

"Mo Dao, get up! Go in, cut..."

The Modao team, which hastily reorganized, did not care to take a breather, and lined up to attack again. The round blades rolled forward, firmly blocking the second wave of Tubo cavalry. Because of being mixed in the chaos army, the Modao team inevitably had some sly things, and no longer had the invincible power they had before, they could barely hold their ground, and they could barely withstand the Tubo army's strong attack.

"Cavalry attack!"

Both the left and right flanks of the Tang army are facing the same dilemma, that is, although the second wave of the Tubo army has been barely blocked, the third wave of the most elite Tubo army is about to be killed. With the Tubo army working together, the entire formation of the Tang army will be completely torn apart, and this is obviously a burden that the Tang army cannot bear. In such a field, the cavalry army has no choice but to attack. The two generals shouted almost at the same time. He led the cavalry to kill from the flanks of the formation. The speed was extremely fast, like a thunderbolt. In an instant, they bypassed the front army of the melee regiment, and stabbed obliquely at the third group of Tubo cavalry who was rushing forward. array.

"Turn left, turn left!"

"Come with me, turn right, and kill all the Tang thieves!"

Xulong and Choji Mazan led the third wave of cavalry led by Tubo Wanfu, each with 8000 troops. The original sprint speed was not too fast, and they were already preventing the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty from attacking. Seeing that the cavalry of the Tang army had already been dispatched, they dared not ignore it. Each roared and gave the order to turn around, and quickly adjusted their formation during the march, and charged at the Tang army who was rushing at high speed.

"boom……"

The speed of the four opposing cavalry troops was extremely fast, but within a short time they collided fiercely, and there was a loud bang. As soon as the two sides met, they fought inextricably. The people and horses criss-crossed. From time to time, some soldiers howled and fell off their horses. The swords were flashing, the guns were heavy, and the arrows were flying. The entire two-wing battlefield became a pot of porridge. Under the circumstances, no one can gain the absolute upper hand for a while, and the war has reached a fever pitch once the war starts.

"Father, it's time to put some pressure on Tang Jun."

Although it was the first time for Gar Yingong to witness such a large-scale battle, he didn't show any timidity at all. On the contrary, he felt a sense of heroism stirring in his heart. Of course, excitement was excitement, but it didn't hinder Its ability to detect changes in the battlefield, seeing that there were only about [-] infantry left on the two wings of the Tang army and had not yet entered the battlefield, he had an idea in his heart, so he smiled and suggested to his father.

"Okay, order: The infantry on the left and right flanks will press on immediately, and the resistance of the Tang bandits must be completely defeated!"

Gar Qinling is a man of many battles, and his knowledge is far superior to that of his son, so how could he fail to see the key to victory? The reason why he did not rush to give orders is simply because the time is not yet fully ripe. In his opinion, it is too early to send the infantry into the attack at this time, but if it is true, later and earlier will not have much to do with the overall victory. If someone else proposes this, Gar Qin Ling would never agree, but out of the consideration of cultivating his son's prestige in the army, he took advantage of the situation to agree to his request.
