Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 563 The Wind Sweeps the Clouds (5)

Amidst the fierce drums, the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade of the Tang Army marched forward in three rows, while the Hehuang Army did not follow suit, but stood quietly in place, as if He didn't have the slightest intention of helping his own infantry. Once such a strange situation happened, Gar Zanpo was a little confused. The mission of the cavalry is to charge the formation, and the infantry has always been only concerned with covering up and killing. Unless the opponent's two armies are both infantry, otherwise, I have never seen the cavalry not moving and sending the infantry to charge the formation.

"Decree: Send out two thousand cavalry from the left and right flanks, and attack the Tang bandits from the side!"

Doubts turned into doubts, but Gar Zampo had to react to the advancing actions of the Tang army. Seeing the Tang army's infantry getting closer and closer, and the commotion in his own camp became more and more noisy, Gar Zampo himself Not daring to hesitate any longer, he made up his mind to test out Tang Jun's intentions first, so his face turned serious, and he yelled loudly.

"Woo, woo, woo..."

As soon as Gar Tsangpo gave this order, the horn sounded sternly. The generals on the left and right flanks who received the order did not dare to neglect. Without counting breaths, amidst the sound of horseshoes, two teams of 2000 troops each The cavalry rushed out of the formation and attacked and killed the officers and soldiers of the marching first brigade like flying.

"Cloth circle array!"

Seeing the Tubo cavalry attacking at high speed, Xiao Sanlang did not panic at all, he waved his hand and issued a general order loudly, and soon after hearing the sound of the drum change, the first brigade who was walking forward immediately began to adjust, before the Tubo cavalry rushed out After a hundred paces, the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade formed a large circle, with thousands of black-holed guns pointing outwards. From a distance, they really looked like hedgehogs.

"Accelerate, rush, and kill all the Tang thieves!"

Although the Tubo cavalry had never personally experienced the power of muskets, they had often witnessed their own infantry being beaten by muskets these days. Seeing that the first brigade had already formed their formation, they were unavoidably a little intimidated. Standing up in fear, the originally orderly charge formation became a little chaotic, but there was an order from the top, and they could not retreat without a fight. The two thousand household leaders who commanded the army had no choice but to force Roaring with scalp, he tried his best to urge his soldiers to rush forward, intending to use the impact of the horses to forcibly tear apart the Tang army's defensive formation.

"Fire!"

The momentum of the cavalry charging on the plain was quite astonishing. Amidst the clatter of horseshoes, smoke and dust billowed up, and the ground trembled slightly. However, Xiao Sanlang was not moved by it, and calmly estimated Considering the distance between the two sides, it was not until the vanguard of the Tubo cavalry army rushed to the distance of less than [-] steps from the Tang army's circular formation that Xiao Sanlang was lucky enough to give the order without hesitation.

"Bah, ah, ah..."

Now that the chief general had issued the order, the officers and soldiers of the first brigade who had been on standby for a long time did not dare to neglect, and began to perform smoothly and smoothly in strict accordance with the drill code. In the midst of gunpowder and smoke, the sound of firing like fried beans never stopped, and the barrage formed was like an insurmountable high wall. No matter how hard the Tubo cavalry marched forward, they could not cross the life-and-death line of fifty paces. On the contrary, they left a mess of corpses on the way of charging.

The Tubo people grew up in a place of bitter cold and were known for their fierce fighting and bravery. However, in the face of such a fierce attack from the first brigade, they were no longer as brave as before. There were almost no casualties, and the rest of them turned their horses around in embarrassment, and retreated back to the main formation in embarrassment. A seemingly imposing attack, but within a short time, Tang Jun didn't even touch the side. It was a disgraceful defeat.

Dead silence, a dead silence, since the gunfire stopped, both the Tubo army's main formation and the Hehuang army soldiers standing behind the first brigade were all shocked, and the officers and soldiers of the first brigade themselves were also shocked The result of the battle was quite shocking, for a moment the battlefield was strangely quiet, tens of thousands of horses and horses all stood dumbfounded, staring dumbfoundedly at the corpses of the soldiers and horses lying all over the ground on the battlefield.

Sharp, incomparably sharp!Everyone had the same thought in their minds. Even the officers and soldiers of the first brigade themselves couldn't believe that their combat power could be so overwhelming. Even if they were as strong as the cavalry of the Hehuang Army, they were all stupid After a while, he couldn't help substituting his own troops into the role of attacking, but found a fact very depressingly, that is, if he was in a different place with the Tubo army, the battle situation would not be much better, unless he could take advantage of the first The officers and soldiers of the first brigade attacked before they were in formation, or forced a surprise attack with far more troops than the first brigade. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult to defeat the first brigade!

"Line up, move forward!"

Years of arduous training finally paid off. It goes without saying that Xiao Sanlang was excited, but he didn't get carried away. Seeing that the Tubo army hadn't moved for a while, he didn't want to wait any longer. He let out a shout, and the officers and soldiers of the first brigade, who were still immersed in the victory in the first battle, immediately moved after hearing the order. The original circular formation instantly became a horizontal row, and with the accompaniment of drums, they walked steadily towards the Tubo army formation go.

"Bastard! The order: The central army does not move, and the rest of the troops attack with all their strength. The Tang bandits must be taken down. Anyone who dares to retreat without authorization will be killed without mercy!"

Seeing Tang Jun relentlessly pressing forward again, he was immediately ashamed and angry, and then seeing Tang Jun was about to leave the protection range of Li He's cavalry army, the evil on his nerves suddenly arose, and he gritted his teeth. A harsh word was squeezed out between the teeth.

As soon as the order for the general attack was issued, the horns of the Tubo army suddenly rang loudly, and the soldiers of the three armies who heard the order roared in unison. Under the Qi mobilization, the momentum is like a rainbow, and the murderous aura soars to the sky. With one breath, they will completely drown the first brigade, which numbered no more than two thousand.

"Array, fire, fire!"

Facing the crazily attacking Tubo army, Xiao Sanlang didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. He hastily gathered his formation and formed a circle again. The strength of the Tubo army was really too much. Under the suppression of the death order, they rushed forward one after another, but within a short time, they had approached from all directions to less than forty steps away from the Tang army's circle. The distance was still shrinking. Obviously, the offensive of the Tubo army had completely exceeded the defensive limit of the first brigade, and it was only a matter of time before the circle was overwhelmed.

"Army attack!"

Seeing that the first brigade was obviously unable to hold on anymore, Li He didn't dare to hesitate any longer, jumped on the back of the horse, pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, swung it forward vigorously, roared, and rushed forward. Nearly two thousand soldiers of the Hehuang Army rushed to the battlefield at high speed, trying to rescue the first brigade of the army who was in danger.

"The Chinese army comes with me and stop the enemy cavalry!"

As soon as Li He's troops moved, Gar Zampo, who had already been prepared, roared wildly, and led the five thousand cavalry of the Chinese army to rush out, ignoring the fact that there were still soldiers of his own charging on the road, just rushing forward. Yedi rushed over, and collided violently with the oncoming Hehuang army, and a big scuffle between cavalry broke out in the chaotic army in an instant.

"Go on the bayonet!"

There were really too many enemy troops, so many that they could not be killed. Seeing that they could no longer forcefully stop them, Xiao Sanlang had no choice but to shout and give the order to prepare for hand-to-hand combat.

"Kill, Tang thief can't hold on anymore, kill, kill them all!"

With the sudden stop of the barrage of the Tang army, the Tubo soldiers who were rushing madly were stunned for a moment, and then burst into ecstasy. Ten steps away.

The bloody hand-to-hand combat began. The officers and soldiers of the first brigade in the first row of the circle lined up their guns and stabbed, stabbing the Tubo infantry who rushed over first, but they were soon followed by the Tubo army who rushed up. The ranks of the first brigade were thrown into disarray, although all the officers and soldiers of the first brigade were selected strong soldiers from all over Hexi, but they were already small boats in the turbulent waves under the rush of the large and powerful Tubo soldiers. , It may be overturned at any time, and as expected, as the battle continued, the round formation was torn apart by the surging Tubo army, and the officers and soldiers of the whole brigade fell into the danger of fighting on their own in an instant.

The first brigade is already at a critical juncture, and the situation of the Hehuang army is not optimistic either. Originally, it could still fight evenly with the Tubo army, which is twice as large as itself. After the army was mobilized one after another, the Hehuang army could not move forward, and was also caught in a bitter battle. For the Tang army, the situation was at a critical point of destruction!

It's finally time to win!Gar Zanpo, who had already withdrawn from the battle circle with his personal guards, did not go to command the battle anymore, but because the situation of the international scuffle was already established, and the command system was already in chaos, there was really no need for him to point fingers, so Shi Shiran Di rode his horse and stood outside the battlefield, watching the melee with great interest. Seeing that the Tang army had no power to turn the tables, his nerves, which had been tense for many days, finally relaxed a little, but in his heart he felt Soon there was a strange sense of unreality, because he couldn't figure out why Tang Jun would give up the advantage of Luoyingling's location, and ran down the mountain to fight his own side. Didn't he make it clear that he was here to die? what?Could it be that the generals of the Tang army had a high fever collectively?And this is obviously impossible, there is no doubt that there must be a reason for this, but Gar Tsampo couldn't see anything strange, and the nerves that had just been relaxed unconsciously tensed up again .

"Woo, woo, woo..."

Just when Gar Tsangpo was worrying about gains and losses, a burst of violent horns suddenly sounded violently behind a low mountain ridge less than two miles away, and then amid billowing smoke and dust, a fiery red flag descended from the mountain ridge As soon as he came out, Gar Zanpo's face turned pale in an instant, and cold sweat gushed out like a fountain.
