Chapter 132 Sword Light
Chapter 132: Knife Light
Below the snow-capped mountains is a green grassland. Looking from a glance, the crowds in the distance have appeared in sight. The team of more than a thousand people is divided into four or five groups of people, which looks quite spectacular.
Xue Chongxun was wearing a bright light armor and a smooth reflective bronze mirror on his chest. He sent Jincheng to the rear wing and asked the Nanya soldiers to separate a piece of protection. Then he put on a sling, equipped with ear protection, and prepared for a while, and said to the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Regiment: "Our Flying Tiger Regiment is fighting a battle that wins more with less." Everyone laughed heartily.
He turned back to Jincheng and said, "Wait for me, I'll be back soon."
Jincheng said with concern: "Xue Lang, you must be fine." Xue Chongxun smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I am very confident in the brothers of the Flying Tiger Group."
"Wait..." Jin Cheng turned his back and called Xue Chongxun over, lowered his head and blushed his face and quietly stuffed a ball of things into his hand. Xue Chongxun grabbed it and pinched it. It was a smooth and soft pink textile. He put it in front of his nose and smelled it. He smelled a very special fragrance. He asked in confusion: "What is this, what is it for?"
Jincheng whispered: "It's a woman's underwear. I heard from the old man that this thing can prevent lax arrows. If you put it in the armor, the arrows won't touch you..."
It turned out to be something superstitious. But Xue Chongxun felt that it was very erotic and could make Jin Cheng feel more at ease, so he reluctantly stuffed it into his breastplate and smiled, "I'm going to turn when I see the arrow."
After saying that, he turned over and bowed to Jincheng with his fists, rode his horse to the front of the army, and stood with Zhang Wulang and other generals. He pretended to be relaxed and asked: "Zhang Wulang, what do you think you should fight?"
Zhang Wulang said: "There are many enemies, so we should not fight in a melee. It is better to divide the troops and dismount to form a team of war peaks to stabilize the position, and then use the horse soldiers as the jumping."
Xue Chongxun immediately said readily: "Follow the plan of Wulang."
Zhang Wulang said: "I order the Zhanfeng team, Xue Lang leads the jump."
Xue Chongxun immediately shouted: "Bao Cheng, the left brigade dismounted, prepared bows, crossbows, and swords to form a formation of Zhanfeng. Li Kuiyong, the right brigade, led the horse team to obey my orders."
"The last one will receive orders!"
After a burst of shouting, the Flying Tiger Regiment was very skillful and skillfully arranged in a formation according to the usual training formation. One hundred and two left brigades formed two war peak teams, and infantry were arranged in a row. Xue Chongxun led one hundred cavalry of the right brigade to be located behind.
The Tubo soldiers were cavalry units. They slowly walked about a thousand steps before they stopped. After a while, a team of light cavalry left the brigade and rushed towards the front for a tentative attack.
At about two hundred steps, the Tubo cavalry increased their speed and rushed towards the general. After one hundred and fifty steps, Zhang Wulang shouted: "Click the crossbowmen in a volley!"
The first row of Zhanfeng teams fired a round of crossbows. Many of their Tubo cavalry were caught off guard, and their cavalry range was not as far away as the infantry crossbows. They could only get two rounds of crossbows in vain. After they were injured, they turned their horses and retreated.
Xue Chongxun knew that the other party was just tentative attack, so he did not rush to let the horse team attack. At this time, he heard the drums in the army ringing, and the two teams of Zhanfeng teams immediately advanced forward, and Xue Chongxun also led the horse team to protect the rear wing and follow up slowly.
The Tubo soldiers who had just died and injured were soon passed by the body of armored soldiers. After hundreds of steps, Tubo's group of troops formed four storm formations and rushed towards each other again. More than a hundred steps, they suffered a crossbow rain again. At this time, Xue Chongxun saw their equipment clearly, most of which were equipped with bows and arrows, Sonic and other swords, and the armor had chain mail and leather armor. Because the Tubo soldiers were a cavalry team, they did not carry heavy weapons such as crossbow cannons. Compared with the Tang army wearing plate armor and carrying various standard weapons, the opponent's equipment was indeed two levels worse.
The Tubo people relied on their number of people to approach the Tang army's vanguard. When they were fifty or sixty steps, they attacked with cavalry and shooting. The Tang army's Zhanfeng team also replaced bows and arrows to fight back, attacking while fighting. The Tubo people were very skilled in cavalry and operated freely on horseback, but the horses were bumpy, and their accuracy was definitely not as accurate as step shooting.
The Mingguang armor of the Tang army was miraculously effective against bows and arrows, especially the Zhanfeng team was covered with armor. Although they did not use swords and shields, they did not suffer much damage. The cavalry shooting of the Tubo people could not stop the Zhanfeng team's advancement, so they immediately launched a cavalry charge. At this time, the Tang army's infantry abandoned the bows and crossbows, picked up the Mo sword, and formed a dense sword formation, and did not retreat but advanced.
The Mingguang Armor and the Mo Dao were shaking brightly, shining in the setting sun. From a distance, they were rushing forward like two light walls. The two armies were close to each other, and the Tubo cavalry were equipped with dense Mo Dao, and their people and horses were shattered, like an egg hitting a stone, the vanguard dispersed, and fled backwards.
The situation on the grass had become very strange, and the number of people was obvious at a glance. The Tubo camp was obviously wide. The two armies were facing each other, just like a big black dog and a chicken standing together. At this time, the Tubo left wing moved and rushed from the flanks, and at the same time launched another attack on the front.
Seeing this, Xue Chongxun raised his sword and shouted, "Set out!" Hundreds of war horses galloped out, and the sound of horse hooves made the grass roar. After the two horse teams approached, they immediately launched their cavalry and shooting. After a long time, the Tubo people were not as good as armor, the casualties became even worse. Xue Chongxun was also hit by two arrows, but his fine armor made him feel good and he was still in damage. However, after being shot, the war horse fell and his knee was so painful that he had a slight pain. He changed the horse and fought again.
The Zuolu Modao team led by Zhang Wulang had only two Zhanfeng teams, but they were as tough as a steel machine. Even if they were five times the Tubo soldiers than the Tang army, they could not break through their array. If they continued to fight like this, they had to retreat one way. Tubo then changed his tactics and surrounded the left and right with superior forces, intending to use the maneuver of light cavalry to deal with the Tang army infantry.
Just then, Zhang Wulang shouted: "Switch!"
Before the Tubo soldiers were approaching, the two Zhanfeng teams quickly changed their formation and formed a circular formation, shrinking the formation, with the Modao standing outside and the crossbowmen in the center. Xue Chongxun's horse team also received the middle of the circular formation.
The Tubo soldiers surrounded the Tang army from left and right and soon surrounded the Tang army, but the round camp in the middle was as immovable as a turtle, and the area was small after shrinking, which made the Tubo's number advantage unable to be converted into attack strength, so they could only shoot around the circular formation with bows and arrows.
At this time, Xue Chongxun shouted: "Ring the drum, the horse team will attack!"
"Dongdongdongdongdong!" Although it is a small drum, it has a sense of rhythm. If it is a big drum, it will be even more powerful. Unfortunately, the supplies have been discarded when they ran away.
Xue Chongxun then led Bao Cheng's troops to protrude from one corner of the round formation and attacked the enemy soldiers surrounded, only a few dozen steps apart, and in an instant, they met each other with close troops. Bao Cheng, who was nine feet tall, rushed to the first place, and each encounter was solved with one sword. The iron cavalry broke through the Tubo crowd like a broken bamboo.
Suddenly, the sound of killing shook the sky and the battle was dark. After a while, Bao Cheng and Xue Chongxun's men were covered in blood, as if there were blood people. The soldiers of the Flying Tiger Regiment were all selected fierce men, and they were unstoppable. After several rounds of attacks, the Tubo horse team had already shown signs of chaos.
"Kill out of the encirclement and kill in again. Let's thread a needle and give it a few rounds!" Xue Chongxun shouted, and then led his army to raid. A group of cavalrymen were like wolves entering a flock of sheep. The Tubo soldiers were cut like targets and cried and called their parents to cry, and they could no longer support themselves and turned around and fled.
Seeing this, the other Tubo soldiers followed him, and their formation was in chaos. Fortunately, the cavalry ran very fast. Bao Cheng advised him: "Wei Gong's military strategy, the enemy should not advance resolutely. Our cavalry chased for a long time, and do not stay away from the rescue scope of the Zhanfeng team."
This was the first time that the Flying Tigers fought with alien races. After fighting, they found that the Tubo army was not so strong in front of the elite Tang army, and it seemed a little soft, even the Tang Dynasty imperial guards were not as good as those of the Tang Dynasty. Seeing so many people fleeing in a panic, Xue Chongxun rose from the soles of his feet and pointed his sword in front, shouting to the soldiers sideways: "Kill!"
A brigade of light cavalry followed him, shooting with bows and arrows while chasing him. When he chased him, he stabbed him with swords and guns. Along the way, he was covered with sporadic corpses of Tubo people.
After chasing for a while, Bao Cheng caught up with Xue Chongxun and said, "We should not be greedy for merit. If it is too far away, the enemy soldiers will be like fighting in a mess. Zhang Wulang is unable to respond in time, which is dangerous!"
Xue Chongxun thought about it, then accepted Bao Cheng's suggestion, turned around and shouted, "Just chase this place, let's spare their lives for the time being." The horse team gradually slowed down, and the troops cheered excitedly.
Xue Chongxun held the horse's head, and the war horse neighed, raised its front hooves high. Xue Chongxun looked down at the grassland, his chest widened, and shouted: "The Tang army is invincible!"
"Long live! Long live..." Everyone shouted, echoing among the snow-capped mountains.
The Flying Tiger Regiment died in a small amount, with dozens of minor injuries, and there were many black spots on the grass, almost all of which were the corpses of Tubo soldiers, and they were temporarily gained a lot. When everyone returned to the rear, Zhang Shuo, who was originally very dissatisfied with Xue Chongxun, also gave him a thumbs up: "One fights against five. Although our Tang army often does this, we need to seize favorable fighters to win. Fighting hard with five times of the enemy soldiers can still win. I admire you!"
Xue Chongxun took off his helmet and laughed: "I don't even look at what elite troops our Flying Tiger Group is! What is the result of Zhang Xianggong's battle?"
"The pursuers dared not fight to the decisive battle. They only approached once and retreated to the west. I did not send troops to pursue them." Zhang said with a straight look, "The blocked road was beaten away. We should not stay for a long time. We should set off for a short while before we can repair it."
At this time, the Flying Tiger Regiment sent people and horses to search everywhere and caught a group of war horses that ran away from the battlefield, most of which were Tubo horses. Now for them, horses are the most important things and the biggest problem.
Xue Chongxun led the horse to Jincheng and asked, "Can Your Highness ride a horse?" Jincheng's face turned slightly red and he said, "No...the conference." Xue Chongxun smiled and said, "Then I'll take you." After that, he helped her get on the horse.
The troops cleaned up for a while, took the wounded soldiers, and continued to rush on the road. The actors and craftsmen could be abandoned, but the wounded soldiers could not be abandoned, so as not to disappoint the soldiers. Fortunately, most of them were slightly injured and were people who followed the martial arts. There was no big problem, but there were two seriously injured soldiers who were in trouble... Now, in order to get rid of the chasing of the Lang family, they could only use the speed of marching. The seriously injured and unable to ride horses was a drag.
