Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 580 The Battle of Dangxiong (4)

"What? No reinforcements? You damn bastard! Order: Infantry attack!"

Chili Hezan himself was not good at force, so he did not engage in fierce battles, but after a charge, he led his personal guards to the outside of the battlefield, stood under the black banner, and dispatched all the troops with the horn as an order. Fighting to the death with the Tang army, seeing that his own cavalry was gradually unable to support him, he had to brazenly send someone to the Central Army to ask for help from Hetzzan, but he did not expect that Hetzzan had tens of thousands of cavalry in his hands Willing to send troops to rescue, let alone the anger in his heart, he was only angry, but there was nothing he could do with Herz's praise. After scolding, he could only grit his teeth and order the infantry to return The general came up, although he knew that this move was just a strategy to quench thirst with poison, but there was nothing to do, after all, he had to survive the mad attack of the cavalry army of the Tang Dynasty before waiting for the turning point.

"Ohh Ohh ohh……"

As soon as Chili Hezan gave the order, the sound of horns suddenly rang out in the left-wing formation of the Tubo army, and more than [-] Tubo infantry divided into three phalanxes began to advance, although the speed was not too high. Fast, but the neat rows of knives and guns are like forests, with a kind of majestic momentum of moving mountains and filling seas.

"Brothers, follow me, kill the thief, kill the thief, kill the thief!"

The mobilization of the Tubo infantry was quite massive, and the battle horns were so loud that it was impossible for the various departments of the Tang Army not to notice, but it was not Li Xian, the head coach of the Central Army, who was the first to make a statement, nor was he about to be under pressure. Ling Zhong, the right-wing general, was attacking Li He, the left-wing cavalry of the Tubo army, because he already guessed that the reason for the Tubo army's helpless actions was that the cavalry could no longer hold on and had to rely on foot The army stepped forward to rescue, but seeing that his competitors had made a breakthrough, Li Heke became anxious. He, who had always been proud and arrogant, did not want to lose face in such a big battle. , Li He became ruthless, and planned to fight with his life!

"Hurry up, blow the horn and call up the infantry!"

Li He is one of the most powerful generals in the Tang army. He is not easy to be provoked if he puts his life on the line. In addition, his thousand guards are all warriors of the Hehuang army. The Tubo cavalry army was in chaos. In just a split second, hundreds of Tubo officers and soldiers were killed by Li He and his personal guards. On the edge, seeing this, Osongjiebu, who was fighting hard, couldn't bear it immediately, and had to roar and issued an order to transfer the army. Immediately, but after a sound of horns, the right-wing infantry of the Tubo army also started Press forward!

Ok?wrong!Herzzan, the old man wants to slip away!The Tubo infantry on the two wings had already dispatched, but Li Xian did not immediately order his own infantry to attack. Instead, he frowned, calculated quickly, and saw through Herzan's plan in an instant. The reason was simple. Herzzan's central army has [-] elite forbidden troops. In terms of combat power, although it is not as good as the Tang army, it may not be much worse. He can send more than [-] troops to reinforce the two wings to fight. Li Xian's army only had [-] cavalry. Even if Hetzzan divided the troops, the Tang army might not dare to rush over directly. Obviously, the reason why Herzan didn't do that could only mean one thing—— Ci Zan already has the idea of ​​quitting!
"Order: The infantry on the left and right flanks press up, completely defeat the remnants of the enemy, and order the first brigade to attack. The cavalry in front is [-] steps behind and catches up with the cover. If the enemy wants to escape, they will be entangled even if they are desperate!"

As soon as he guessed what Herzan was thinking, Li Xian no longer hesitated, raised his hand, and gave the order to attack. In an instant, amidst the sound of drums and trumpets, the three armies of the Tang army, the left, front and right, moved in unison. A general offensive posture.

Seeing Tang Jun's aggressive posture, Herzzan's first reaction was to turn his head and run away, but because of his dignity as a prime minister, he couldn't bear this face, and was hesitating At this time, he suddenly discovered that the Tang army's former army had only dispatched more than two thousand infantry armed with "burning sticks". But at any rate, he has been a general for many years, and he still has some ability to govern the army. Regarding the power of the musketeers and artillery of the Tang army, he did know something from the scattered soldiers who were defeated and returned home, but he didn't know what the defeated soldiers said. Not entirely convinced, in his opinion, the power of muskets and artillery is not small, but it is by no means as exaggerated as what the defeated soldiers said. It was just a reason for the defeat that the defeated soldiers found for their failure. It would be very useful to send out such a small number of musketeers.

"Decree: The former army will attack, and I will crush the infantry of the Tang thief's front army in one fell swoop!"

Although it is not difficult to believe that it is not difficult for our side to defeat the "burning stick" army, but Hezzan was worried that the Tang army would have another ambush, but he did not dare to order an attack lightly. Instead, he waited for a while and saw that the Tang army's infantry was gradually approaching. At the core of the battlefield, the cavalry of the Tang Army's former army just wobbled behind. The distance between the two armies was too large, and it was difficult to say that they could cover each other. Before smashing the Tang Army's infantry in one fell swoop, and then taking advantage of the situation to rush into chaos the Tang Army's cavalry who accelerated hastily, in this way, it seems that the unfavorable situation on the battlefield can be reversed in one fell swoop. Waving, he roared very proudly.

"Attack, attack!"

As soon as he received the order from the Chinese army, De Norbu, the former general of the Tubo army, did not dare to neglect. He pulled out the scimitar from his waist, slashed forward, and gave the order to attack with a roar. In the meantime, 1 cavalrymen galloped out first, shouting their battle horns, and more than [-] infantry soldiers galloped forward with shouts, and the entire front army was already in motion.

"Eh, damn it!"

Seeing the front army's cavalry move, Herzzan realized that he was patronizing excitement, but inadvertently gave the wrong order - the original intention was to ask the front army cavalry to attack, and leave the infantry to suppress However, because of a slip of the tongue, the entire former army had been thrown into the battlefield in one fell swoop. Now, it is impossible to change it. Apart from cursing, Herzzan has nothing to do. It's hard to think about other ways, so I can only hope that De Nob can eat up the Tang army's infantry in one fell swoop, thus reversing the unfavorable battle situation for the entire army.

"The whole army stopped, lined up on the spot, and raised their guns!"

As soon as he saw the Tubo front army rushing forward, Xiao Sanlang, who was walking in front of the army formation, did not dare to be careless. With a shout, the officers and soldiers of the first brigade who were advancing slowly stopped their steps and strictly followed the drills. They lined up in a formation of three sections, and each raised their guns to aim at the Tubo cavalry who were rushing forward. At the same time, the Tang cavalry led by Tuoba Shanye also stopped, and did not go to rescue the first brigade. Meaning, the Artillery Battalion, which was far behind, was busy just now, but seeing the Artillery Battalion Commander Su Qingsheng roaring and urging his troops to speed up the dismantling of the artillery, he actually planned to move the artillery position forward.

"Hoho, hoho, hoho..."

The Tubo cavalry attacked very fast. Originally, they were worried that the Tang cavalry would catch up and intercept them, but when they saw that the Tang cavalry not only did not speed up, but stopped far behind, they were unavoidably confused. But when such a big battle was imminent, no one went to investigate the root cause. They all roared their battle horns, accelerated continuously, and swept towards the officers and soldiers of the first brigade like a raging wave across the sky.

"Fire!"

The first brigade had already advanced to a position close to the center of the battlefield, and it was only less than 280 steps away from the Tubo army formation. The Tubo cavalry rushed so hard that the distance between the two sides quickly shortened It was only about eighty steps away, close enough to clearly see the ferocious expressions on the black and red faces of the Tubo cavalrymen, Xiao Sanlang didn't dare to delay any longer, so he waved his hand heavily, and ordered to shoot loudly order.

"Bah, ah, ah..."

The officers and soldiers of the first brigade, who had experienced repeated vicious battles, had already developed nerves of steel. No matter how fierce the Tubo army charged, they would not panic because of it. The army immediately moved into action like clouds and flowing water, shooting, changing positions, reloading, and shooting again. In the smoke, the dense rain of bullets formed a wall of deadly barrage, and the Tubo who dared to rush forward All the cavalry shot and killed on the spot.

Rows of cavalry officers and soldiers wailed and fell off their horses, and countless lives disappeared like straws. As soon as such a disastrous loss happened, the cavalry formation of the Tubo front army became uncontrollably chaotic. The speed has been exhausted, even if it is impossible to stop the galloping horse, it can only be carried forward by the forward horse, and then move forward, desperately trying to break through the short eighty steps distance.

"Fire, fire!"

The barrage of the first brigade is indeed very fierce, but it is not really completely airtight. With the desperate charge of the Tubo cavalry, despite heavy casualties, its forward successfully rushed to less than fifty kilometers away from the formation of the first brigade. At the distance of one step, you can crash into the formation of the first brigade with more strength. At that time, no matter how brave the officers and soldiers of the first brigade are, they will definitely not be able to resist the Tubo cavalry rushing in like a tide. , Heavy casualties are the foreseeable ending, but the hypothesis is only a hypothesis after all, not reality. Just when the Tubo cavalry thought that the general would succeed, they heard Su Qing, who had already set up the artillery position, roar, sixteen The infantry artillery began to show its power. Amidst the rumble of the artillery, sixteen huge iron bullets whizzed across the air in a curve, and smashed heavily into the formation of the Tubo cavalry army, killing and wounding the Tubo officers and soldiers immediately. Chaos, the momentum of the charge that had just started could not help being suffocated again, and was swept away by the barrage of the officers and soldiers of the first brigade, the momentum of the charge was completely chaotic.

"Cavalry attack!"

The fighter plane had already appeared, and Tuoba Shanye would not let go of this good opportunity to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, so he let out a roar, and led his troops to launch a fierce charge, bypassing the position of the first brigade at high speed, like a sharp arrow He rushed to the Tubo cavalry in chaos.
