Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 466 fierce battle
Ha Michi gave an order, and eight thousand cavalry rode their horses and galloped like a frenzy, rushing towards the shield formation one after another.

Seeing the cavalry charge, Qin Jingniang raised her eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "The spearmen must stand up!"

In an instant, the front troops of the cavalry had arrived in front of them. Although the shield formation was covered by spears, the Turkic cavalry still held horses and spears in their hands.

The Turkic elite rode to the front of the formation, and there was an endless stream of companions behind them. Seeing that there was no possibility of retreating, they simply grasped their horses tightly, launched a fierce force, and stabbed towards the paulownia long shield with all their strength.

"clang!"

"Tom!"

Contradictions clashed, and the sound of fighting was endless. The dozen or so Turkic elite cavalry in the front stabbed tightly, and were killed by the spears held by the powerful soldiers of the Tang army.

Even so, the follow-up cavalry did not flinch at all. Seeing the tragic death of their comrades in arms, the fierceness of the Turkic elite cavalry was completely aroused.

The shields used by the powerful soldiers of the Tang army are divided into two types: long shields and round shields. The long shields are on the bottom and the round shields are on top. In contrast, the long shields below are more valued by Turkic cavalry.

The long shield is made of [-]-year-old paulownia wood, surrounded by iron sheets. The wood itself has been soaked in tung oil for more than half a year. Compared with the birch wood shield, it is tougher and more impact-resistant.

The Turkic elite cavalry rushed to kill, and the Tang army's powerful soldiers fought hard to defend. In the narrow five-horse road for a while, people neighed and horses roared, and blood rained. A dozen were stabbed to death.

"The Turkic Army is so brave!" Fang Yiai was terrified when seeing horses piercing through the long shield from time to time, and was about to speak, but Qin Jingniang at the side grabbed him first.

Qin Jingniang's apricot eyes were filled with coldness, and she said seriously: "Go and fill the gap! Take the round shield!"

More than a dozen strong soldiers held round shields, raised the fallen long shields again, covered the gap in the long shields with round shields, half-kneeled beside the corpses of their companions, gritted their teeth and started a new round of defense.

Although the charge of the Turkic cavalry was extremely brave, the battle formation had already been decided. Although their offensive was heavy and fierce, the follow-up was insufficient.

"Back back!" Ha Michi sternly yelled while sitting on the horse, then turned the horse's head, and led the Turkic cavalry back to the depths of Wuma Road.

Taking advantage of the gap between the elite Turkic cavalry resting, Qin Jingniang motioned for the soldiers to carry the corpse of the powerful soldier aside, and then said to Fang Yiai: "He Lang, there is some danger here."

"It's not a problem." Seeing that his wife was still concerned about her own safety up to this moment, Fang Yi's love warmed her heart, but also gave birth to a sense of shame of "eating soft food".

Looking up at the mountain peaks on both sides, Fang Yiai saw the raging fire shining brightly in the sky, the corners of his mouth just raised, and suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Hurry up! Order two hundred strong soldiers, guard the dangerous road leading to the mountain from left to right, don't let them extinguish the beacon fire!"

Four hundred powerful soldiers went to guard the mountain road left and right, Fang Yiai's heart was hanging, and then she fell down, "Huh, I almost missed the important thing."

Looking at the narrow five-horse road from a distance, he saw that there was no sound in it, and Fang Yiai's eyebrows were clustered, "Ha Michi won't lead his troops to run away from the other end, right?"

"No." Qin Jingniang shook her head slightly, and murmured, "The other end of the five-horse road is only twenty miles away from the Zuowei camp. During this period, there is a deep ravine in the west that the horses cannot cross, and the east is the main force. The central point of the battalion and the right guard camp, they will never be so stupid as to throw themselves into the trap."

Hearing Qin Jingniang's explanation, Fang Yiai nodded slightly, thinking, "That's right, the beacon fire has been lit right now, and the left guard camp is definitely on guard, maybe they are leading troops galloping here."

Qin Jingniang held a saber in her hand, her black eyebrows hung like ice, and her beautiful jade cheeks were covered with frost, and she still had no trace of her tenderness when she was with Fang Yiai on weekdays.

"To this day, I only know about this woman." Fang Yiai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and a love for beauty was born in the face of the enemy.

Sensing the splendor in her husband's eyes, Qin Jingniang asked coldly, "What are you looking at?"

"No, no." Fang Yi'ai's cheeks were slightly red, she quickly looked into the five-horse road, and muttered softly, "Why hasn't Ha Michi come out yet?"

Just as Fang Yiai's thoughts fell, he heard a burst of thunder in the five-horse road, and then the Turkic elite cavalry galloped out, holding their horses in front of their chests, all of them showed ferocious faces, obviously launching a second charge.

Compared with the last time, the length of the cavalry raid was longer. Under the urging of the Turkic elite cavalry, the speed of the horses had already reached the limit of short-range raids.

"Here we come!" Looking at the fine Turkic cavalry, Fang Yiai slowly pulled out the sword from his waist, and couldn't help but feel a little waver about whether the shield soldiers could successfully resist the cavalry's charge.

"Pikemen line up!" Just hearing "Cang Lang", Qin Jingniang pulled out her sword like a cloud and flowing water, and pointed the blade at the action direction of the mobilized soldiers.

Two thousand pikemen lined up and quickly rushed behind the shield soldiers, holding their spears high. Except for the pawns in the front row, the rest of the pikemen's blades were all aimed at the bleak starry sky. Riders can prancing horses and jump over shield battles, but they can't escape the fate of being tied into hedgehogs.

The Turkic cavalry rushed to the front of the battle formation, clutching their horses tightly with both hands, trying in vain to use the impact generated by the horses' rush to knock down the battle formation in one fell swoop.

Qin Jingniang hurriedly walked to the side of the battle formation, keeping a close eye on the situation on the battlefield, in order to be able to change tactics at any time, and more accurately resist the charge of the Turkic elite cavalry.

At the beginning of the charge, as the Turkic elite cavalry in the front team died, there were several gaps in the impenetrable shield formation due to the rupture of the long shield.

There was a gap in the shield formation, and the Turkic cavalry in the rear, all with fanaticism, rushed to the gap with all their strength, trying to completely destroy the formation blocking the way from here.

"This"

The two armies confronted each other, and there were weaknesses in one's own side, which made Fang Dudu, who usually claimed to be familiar with military books and deep knowledge of war strategies, completely dumbfounded.It was only when the situation came to an end that I suddenly realized that no matter how many ancient books and war strategies I read, or my lack of experience in battle, it was nothing more than talking on paper and playing with glue sticks.

Just when Fang Yiai was helpless and secretly anxious, Qin Jingniang once again showed her extraordinary talent for leading the army.

"The shield soldiers are withdrawn! The pikemen line up!"

After giving an order, the shield soldiers remained indifferent, and the pikemen quickly moved forward. After they aimed their guns at the rushing Turkic elite cavalry, they wounded the shield soldiers who were struggling, and then retreated quickly.

The Turkic elite cavalry were only looking for flaws in the shield battle formation, and suddenly the shield was replaced by a cold spear head. They couldn't help being surprised, but it was too late to rein in their horses.

When the two armies met, the pikemen did not stab the cavalry on their horses, but aimed their spears at the Turkic horses under them.

Hundreds of long spears were like poisonous dragons, piercing the chest and neck of the horses. With one shot, those valuable and precious horses knelt down with their hooves, lying on their sides on the ground without moving.

After the horse fell to the ground, the Turkic cavalry fell from the horse, and before they stood up, they were stabbed into a sieve by the spear waiting to make up the knife.

For a time, because of the naturally narrow terrain of Wuma Road, coupled with Qin Jingniang's command strategy, the long-standing advantage of the Turkic elite cavalry against the Tang army's powerful soldiers was once again invisible.

After a bloody battle, the Turkic cavalry's second charge ended in failure again.

Seeing the dead bodies of Taniguchi's own soldiers and horses like hills, Ha Michi, who is proud of himself, admits that he has suffered the biggest blood loss in his life.

"Fang Jun! Little traitor! We will take revenge!" Ha Michi cursed inwardly, and returned to Wuma Road with the remaining [-] cavalry, and began to prepare for the third charge.

The Turkic cavalry retreated, Fang Yiai let out a long cry, looking at Taniguchi's corpses strewn across the field, the champion of martial arts broke out in a cold sweat.

"Such a scene. It is not too much to use the blood to float the pole, and the bones to lift the sky!"

It's not that Fang Yi'ai deliberately exaggerated the tragic scene of dead bodies at the Wuma Crossing, but such a scene was the first time he had witnessed in his life, the most tragic and desolate scene.

"If He Lang is timid." Seeing that Fang Yiai's forehead was covered with cold sweat, Qin Jingniang murmured worriedly, just halfway through her words, she immediately realized her slip of the tongue, "He Lang, go to the mountain to see the beacon fire first."

"Jingniang, I will accompany you." In the words, Fang Yiai modestly called her a subordinate, obviously entrusting Qin Jingniang with the right to lead the army, and she concentrated on being a "personal bodyguard".

While the two were talking, a group of cavalry suddenly ran out from the five-horse path. These cavalry abandoned their horses and walked. Seven or eight of them gathered together and rushed towards the spear formation at high speed.

"Huh? What are they trying to do?"

Just as Fang Yiai murmured, the cavalrymen jointly carried a dozen corpses of war horses. After walking not far from the battle of spears, they used all their strength to throw the huge horse corpses towards the powerful soldiers of the Tang army.
