Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1124 Surrendered Again
The 200 cavalry immediately got on their horses and took off the spears hanging from the saddle.

Tuobahan pointed his spear and roared, "Charge!"

A gap was suddenly formed in the circular formation, and the pressure on Tang Peng's troops who were besieging here was relieved. The faces of the soldiers who went up changed drastically, and they looked at the front in fear. A group of cavalry was rushing fiercely.

"Kill!" Tuobahan came galloping like a demon god, knocking several enemies in front of him into the air, stabbing out the spears in his hand, every time he retracted, it meant that a life was harvested and gone.

A cavalry battalion, [-] cavalry rushed out, and the circle behind them closed left and right and closed again.The archers in the formation extended their shots again, and the catapults, giant crossbows, and guns were still firing. Tuoba Han firmly remembered Tuoba Gelu's order not to attack too deep, and rode his horse and led the cavalry along the circle. One step away is a round of mad rush.Immediately suppressed Tang Peng's attack momentum.After running around the circle for several miles, the circle behind him once again cracked a gap, the horn sounded, and Tuobahan shouted: "Throw!" All the cavalry threw a grenade, killing a large number of enemies Afterwards, he reluctantly glanced at the enemy soldiers who looked at them with horror on their faces. Unwillingly, he shot a reckless enemy away with his spear, and galloped his horse back to the circle along the gap.

In this round of attack, the cavalry lost [-], but killed at least [-] enemies.This number is nothing compared to the [-] Song Army, but it made the morale of the Northwest Frontier Army, which was already low and unstable, even lower.

In ten breaths of time, nearly 200 cavalrymen under his command died, and Tuoba Han felt extremely distressed.

"Tang Peng, the dog, when he beat the Liao people a few days ago, he has never seen such a desperate dog!"

Tang Peng had indeed tried his best. He had thought that the army of the Xiangfu Kingdom would be difficult to deal with, but he thought that with four times as many troops, he could take it no matter what. However, after fighting for two hours, he only destroyed the enemy's outer positions, causing casualties. It is three times as much as the opponent.Doesn't this mean that if you want to kill this Wanxiang Fu Kingdom infantry, you will have to die 3 people?
"No! You must break the formation. Only by breaking the enemy's formation can you use your absolute superiority to force the enemy to fight on their own. In that case, victory will be at your fingertips. However, this seemingly simple step has made him fight for such a long time. Not until dawn.

As time went by, Tang Peng became more and more uneasy. At this time, he had already thought that the missing [-] cavalry of the Xuanwu Army must have gone to fight the cavalry of the Liao Army who supported him. When returning to the teacher and rushing here, he shuddered.

But if he returns to the camp and looks at the piece of fat in front of him, he is extremely reluctant. Maybe he will reap great results if he works hard again, swallowing the ten thousand enemy troops whole. If he achieves this result, That would be a major victory for their northwest frontier army, and the imperial court's reward after the war would definitely not be light.

He decided to attack again, if he still couldn't break through, he would withdraw his troops and return to the camp, standing firm and waiting for help. It would be best if he could make a great contribution, but he had to live to enjoy it.

"Guardian Battalion, get on your horse and attack!" Tang Peng raised his sword and got on his horse. He decided to launch an attack with his only [-] cavalry.Since the start of the war, he has kept this cavalry as a reserve team, but now he has decided to put in the strongest force under his command, and strive to succeed in one blow, and the enemy in front of him seems to be at the end of his battle, and under the impact of his cavalry, it should be very fast. Difficult to stick to.

Tang Peng personally took the lead, and the cavalry came roaring.

"Tuoba Han!" Inside the circle, Tuoba Gelu yelled hoarsely: "Go out, block them, don't let them directly attack the circle, and finally find a way to lead them to the front of the Baifa Crossbow." Zhe Yu Xuan knew that at this time his circular formation was at its weakest, and he had tried his best to block the opponent's infantry, and it would definitely not be able to block the powerful impact of the cavalry.

"Archers, shoot quickly, shoot all your arrows, and then step forward with your guns to replenish the circle!"

"Hundred shots! Be ready to fire at any time."

Tuoba Gelu shouted fiercely.

Tuoba Han led a thousand cavalry into the opponent's cavalry formation, charging left and right, trying his best to disrupt the opponent's formation and delay the opponent's direct attack on the infantry, but for them, the opponent's cavalry was too much , There are still countless cavalry passing by their sides, rushing towards the circle.

"Damn Tang Peng!" Tuoba Han was really in a hurry, his spear danced like a windmill, just now an arrow flew from nowhere, and his helmet fell to the ground, scaring him completely. At this time, he was disheveled and covered in blood. He didn't know whether it was the enemy's or his own. He had just stabbed the gun violently, and when he picked up a cavalry on the opposite side, the powerful impact made the gun bend into an arc. , It is no longer usable, cursed, threw away the spear in his hand, drew out the saber, dodged a knife that was hacked from the side, and stretched out his hand to grab the enemy cavalry who was close at hand, and cut his throat with a swipe. Just after throwing away the corpse, a black shadow flickered in front of his eyes, and a long spear stabbed him head-on. , the war horse neighed, and sprang forward, using the horsepower, dragged the saber beside him to cut the enemy open from the waist, and the body bounced back suddenly, just now, the tip of the gun wiped the bridge of his nose Passing over, the smell of blood on it can be clearly heard.When Tuoba Han, who just turned around the ghost gate, looked back, there were only more than 500 cavalry left behind him, and the rest had been submerged in the sea of ​​enemy cavalry, and they had already been separated and fought on their own.Explosions were heard from time to time. It was the cavalry of the Xiangfu Kingdom who pulled away the last grenade on their bodies and detonated it before dying in battle. They died together with the enemy.

"Brothers, throw grenades!"

With Tuobahan's loud roar, more than 600 cavalrymen of the Xiangfu Kingdom who were still alive threw out the last remaining grenade.

Amidst the rumbling and earth-shattering explosions, Tang Peng's party took precautions, but more than 400 people were directly killed by the bombing.

"Retreat!" Taking advantage of the moment when the Song army's offensive stopped, Tuobahan broke away from the entanglement of the Song army, turned around and rushed back with more than 600 cavalrymen who were still alive.

Seeing that his own cavalry had nearly a thousand dead and wounded, Tang Peng was already red-eyed, so he led his men to chase after him.

The round formation suddenly opened a gap, and Tuoba Han led his men to rush in, facing ten Baifa chariots, Tuoba Han led his men to rush in through the gap between the chariots.

Tang Peng led the Song Army and couldn't see the Baifa crossbow chariot, but saw that the Xiangfu Kingdom's circular formation had opened a gap for Tuo Bahan to enter.

Tang Peng's idea is good, but the reality is cruel.

At fifty steps, Tuoba Gelu suddenly shouted: "Hundred-shot crossbow, get ready!"

At the sound of the order, not only did the gaps in the circular formation fail to close, but the infantry on the periphery of the circular formation within ten steps on each side suddenly squatted down, exposing the ten crossbow chariots behind them to Tang Peng's eyes.

"shooting!"

The company commander of the Hundred-Fat Crossbow Company gave an order, and the soldiers pulled the handle forcefully, and ten Hundred-Fat Crossbow Machines were fired at the same time.At this moment, the sight of Tang Peng, Tuoba Gelu and all the soldiers on the scene was even blocked by the rain of arrows, and the continuous rain of arrows covered the sky and the sun.

The Baifa quick crossbow is equipped with a powerful spring, coupled with the armor-piercing iron arrow, and it is shot flat at a distance of [-] steps. The lethal force produced is extremely terrifying, like cutting wheat, rushing to the front of the Song army Row after row of cavalrymen fell, but the rain of arrows seemed to never end.

In fact, each hundred-shot crossbow was only fired once, and after one shot, Tuoba Gelu shouted loudly: "You bastards are still not standing up, shoot with the fast crossbow in your hand."

The infantry in front of the circle stood up quickly, and each shot another round of four crossbow arrows with the fast crossbow in their hands.

Tang Peng didn't die, because he slid off the horse's back with a scream at the last moment, and got into the belly of the war horse.But the shot dead horse pinned him down.However, nearly half of the more than 2000 cavalrymen he brought were dead, and the rest of them were completely defeated by the scene just now because they could not see Tang Peng.Fled back desperately.

At this moment, the thunderous sound of horseshoes in the distance made them feel like they were falling into an ice cellar, and it also made Tang Peng, who was crushed under the horses and had not yet died, feel hopeless.On the snowy ground in the distance, black cloud-like cavalrymen were rushing towards them. Looking at the rolling cavalrymen, there might not be tens of thousands of them.

Those who came were two cavalry brigades led by Zhan Xiongwu. He had just wiped out [-] Liao cavalry, and after a short rest, he hurried over.

There are still more than 3 people in the Song Army. If Tang Peng is in the army at this time and quickly forms an formation, with the elite infantry of the Northwest Frontier Army, it is not certain who will win the battle.

"Tang Peng has died in battle, you will surrender and not kill.

"Tang Peng has already died in battle, you will surrender and not kill." Tuoba Gelu roared, and then let hundreds of his own soldiers shout in unison.

When the cavalry led by Zhan Xiongwu appeared, the Song army, which had no fighting spirit, had already started to panic, but under the scolding of the general of the Song army, they barely managed to stay together, but when it was reported that Tang Peng died in battle and fled back After there was no Tang Peng among the cavalry, the fighting spirit of the more than 3 Song troops disappeared in an instant, and the generals of the Song army could not control it at all.Turned around and started running away.

But two legs can run faster than four legs, and for a while, there are routs everywhere. In fact, at this time and this place, the Song Army still has an advantage in strength, but the so-called defeat is like a mountain, and the entire army has collapsed.

Half an hour later, more than 3000 of the 3000 Song soldiers were killed and more than 2 escaped.The remaining [-] Song troops all dropped their weapons, squatted on the ground, and surrendered again.
