Eagle Byzantium

With three commanders, there were only 1,500 people in full force. Including some Nestorian Christians who supported the artillery and stone throwing, there were only about 2,000 people. On this front, there were six to seven thousand border residents and imperial soldiers. They attacked Guo Cheng's carriage camp like a violent wave. The front team was expelled and the rear team broke in. The iron ropes between the vehicles were also blocked. Burnt and chopped, the entire camp was penetrated like a sieve, while the Roman army was like a flame that kept burning toward the holes of the sieve.

In front of Old Walter's more than thirty armored chariots, the iron spikes protruding from the front of the vehicles were thrust into the carriage boards of the Song Army's camp, sealing off the shooting holes. The border residents shouted and stretched out their hooks one after another, hooked the enemy's vehicles, and kept pulling, trying to tear a big "gap" out of the enemy's vehicle camp so that the cavalry could rush in and break it up. Guo Cheng’s car camp!

"Sworn brother!" At this time, Guo Cheng, who was fully dressed and drawing his sword to fight in person, shouted with grief and anger to the approaching enemies. It was not clear whether his adopted brother Guo Zude, who was commanding the cavalry army, could hear him.

In fact, Guo Zude and Liu Guangshi's cavalry were on the northwest side of Mofu City, about a thousand feet away from the carriage camp, and they fought fiercely with Kobuha's large group of Seljuk cavalry.

Soon after, the recovered Seljuk cavalry gathered in more and more numbers like a swarm of flies. The area between the plains and the mountain peaks was very narrow, making it impossible for the more than 7,000 barbarian cavalry behind the cavalry formation to perform their duties.

Guo Zude, whose attack route was blocked, was worried. He rushed left and right to command, but the front line heading towards the carriage camp was still firmly blocked by this group of Turkic cavalry holding dog-tooth flags. If they entered the carriage camp directly from the rear, the cavalry would be in trouble. It is tantamount to useless - you have to fight the enemy infantry on foot. The cavalry army is only three thousand elite and cannot withstand such consumption.

Guo Zude almost vomited blood.

At this time, Liu Guangshi rode up and took the initiative to ask for help. He pointed to a winding mountain path covered with snow on the north side. Let’s defeat them internally and externally!”

"Guangshi, the terrain there is narrow and rugged, which is tantamount to danger." Guo Zude disagreed.

But Liu Guangshi was eager to make contributions, "Commander, if this situation continues to be deadlocked, we will definitely lose. How should we explain it? It's time to use surprise troops."

"Forget it, Guangshi, you will make a surprise attack from that road. I will send an order to ask Tong Xiang to bring all Ma Zhi here."

At this time, the battle had continued until the first hour of the afternoon. Tong Guan, whose armor was covered with snow, stood on his horse, looking at the stalemate battle lines everywhere, and ordered the cavalry to shuttle back and forth.

On the central front, the Tiger Wing Army launched three consecutive wave-like advances, but they were like a tidal wave crashing into a dam, causing heavy losses to each other. Both sides were also top-notch elite soldiers, but they were still locked in a stalemate and could never win. Unfortunately, in the wind and snow, many Tiger Wing Army soldiers who were indiscriminately shot by the enemy's shooters and wore armor could not bear the pain of the trauma, so they went crazy, brandishing their giant axes and knives, and jumped into the enemy's spear array and fought until they died. until.

On the left wing, the Jingxi Army showed signs of failure - Gao Wen's imperial guards, armed with halberds and long blunderbuss, supported this battlefield and took turns to attack the weak points at the junction of the Jingxi Army and the Tiger Wing Army. The front line of the Jingxi Army, which only numbered 5,000, was slowly shrinking...

Although the right wing was in the best condition before, now the enemy has made a comeback. Not only does it stand firm, but it also launches a crazy counterattack.

But the most terrifying thing was that Tong Guanyuan saw that on Gawain's central front, there were always many cavalry (auxiliary cavalry) and two full field brigades, one on the left and one on the right (Philomelon and Yefanduni) , quietly preparing there.

"Master Prime Minister, make your decision!"

"Grand Master! It's time to deploy the troops from the horse to the right wing of our army, and work together with General Guo Cheng to defeat the enemy."

Many staff members and the Marquis of Yu kowtowed to Tong Guan, praying for help.

Tong Guan was also gritting his teeth. He knew that investing in the cavalry was an outright gamble.

In fact, relying on his intuition from many years of fighting, Tong Guan knew that Emperor Fu Fu was also staring at him in the Gaofu area opposite where there were trees full of flags and gold labels, and was waiting for him to make this decision. Although he had never been the one who opposed the different parties before. Will admit that Yaoshi Guo surrendered to the enemy, but now it seems that this may be a cruel fact:

He knew about Yaoshi Guo. He would definitely surrender to the Fu Fu barbarians when the wind came. Moreover, Yao Shi Guo was still a person who never stopped doing anything. If he surrendered, he would definitely do it very thoroughly - Fu Fu. The emperor must know the details of 60 to 70% of our army from his mouth.

Straight from the horse, but the last card in the entire battle.

If the expected effect is not achieved, then at least this field battle is strategically lost, and the following people can only hold on to Damalu's forts. Thinking of this, Tong Guan couldn't help but feel worried, "Damn it, I have traveled thousands of miles to get here. , it actually ended like this..."

In the end, Tong Guan waved the command flag heavily and shouted amidst the sound of horns that resounded in the sky, "From Mazhi, we will launch an assault between the Tiger Wing Right Army and the right-wing armies."

Horse hooves roared, and the cavalrymen, both heavily armored, drove their horses at a constant speed, formed a formation that was even neater than the infantry square, and began to run in the direction Tong Guan pointed.

Over there, Gawain put down his telescope and finally laughed heartily when he saw this scene.

In front of the emperor, many messengers from the Three Wings Brigade were half-kneeling, begging His Majesty to send reinforcements from the two prepared brigades.

"Why panic?" Who would have thought that the emperor would still say the same thing, then he paused and added, "Wait until all our artillery is pushed up before we go out."

A correct version at a glance on the 16-9 book forum!

In the emperor's camp, people from Nishapur and other places were drawn to serve as military servants. They drove herds of cattle, dragged cannons and ammunition out of the camp, and braved the snow in groups to rush to the fierce battle.

At this time, the Three Wings Brigade had a total of 18 detachments, and four detachments had suffered heavy casualties of one-third of the casualties. They slowly retreated to rest, and the dead and wounded were lying all over the snow, but the other detachments still held the large infantry spears tightly with their frozen wrists and continued to hold their positions.

The Tiger Wing Army and the Control Crane Army of the opposite Song Dynasty also suffered cruel and heavy casualties, and the same corpses were spread in front and behind the positions.

However, the commanders behind still ordered, "Prepare for the fourth charge."

On the right wing of the Song army, Liu Guangshi and 300 cavalrymen, including 150 barbarian cavalrymen on short horses, had already set foot on the mountain path and began to use roundabout surprise attack tactics.

Because the road was narrow, Liu Guangshi had to form a column and trek forward. Only such a formation could ensure that the cavalry passed through here at the fastest speed and then rushed down to fight again.

Success means moving forward without hesitation.

Failure means eternal damnation.
