The reason why Jiumo Tuhamode brought so many wolf cavalry to chase Yang Fan and the others was just to express the thunderous fury in his heart.
In Jiumo and Tuhamode's view, the Tang army that attacked the Wolf Cavalry would only engage in some sneaky tricks.
If there is a real battle, under the command of himself, the most brave general of Tubo, using 10,000 of Tubo's most elite wolf cavalry to surround and kill hundreds of Tang troops, is it not as simple as chopping melons and vegetables?
Therefore, Jiumo and Tuhamod issued an order: as soon as they saw the Tang army, they were to be chopped into pieces.
There are no tactics or strategies at all, because these are completely useless.
Ten thousand cavalry galloped down the mountainside road, taking advantage of the terrain to increase their horse speed to the limit in a very short period of time.
The horse's hooves mixed with the soil, causing dust to fly. The sound of the horse's hooves was like a thunderstorm in the sky, making the mountains tremble slightly.
Jiumo Tuhamo took the lead, and the morning breeze heated by the fire blew in his face, making him feel warm. This kind of heat made him restless, and a bloodthirsty redness rose in his eyes.
Licking the corners of his chapped lips, Jiumo Tuhamo took out his scimitar, determined to kill all the Tang soldiers who dared to attack him.
On the west side of the canyon, listening to the sound of thousands of horses galloping, Yang Fan shouted in a deep voice: "Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!" At this time, no one had any need to hide anything anymore, and their voices shook the whole cloud.
Looking at the soldiers who died generously, Yang Fan felt a little guilty, but he had no regrets.
He knew that even if he had the power of a god, he would not be able to bring all these people back intact among the thousands of troops.
Although some people may lose their lives in the strangulation of the wolf riders, it is worth it.
The burning of the battalion did not annihilate all the Wolf Cavalry, but it also affected the vigor of the Tibetan army to a certain extent.
The Tibetan forwards have not yet conquered the key points, but most of the rear troops have been lost, which will definitely make Songtsen Gampo timid and on tenterhooks.
Before they were annihilated, Tubo would definitely not be able to attack Gansong Ridge with all its strength, which would also relieve the pressure on the defenders to a certain extent.
Su Dingfang took a step forward and asked, "General, what should we do next?"
Yang Fan looked solemn and said: "Since everyone trusts me so much, please rest assured that as long as we strictly implement the order, I will definitely bring everyone back safely."
"Even if there is an accident, your wives, children, and children will be taken care of by the Marquis Mansion. Regardless of whether you can go back or not, I will report the truth to the court to avoid you having to bear the guilt!"
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!" More than five hundred soldiers were full of excitement.
Isn't the reason why you train hard and without complaint is that you hope that one day you can make great achievements and get rid of your sinful body?
Now that they have such a good opportunity, they will not let it go, so why not die?
Listening to the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, Yang Fan gave the order: "Everyone is here. General Su will lead an orderly retreat of five hundred soldiers and march towards Tuyuhun. This general will break up with his guards. General Su will always pay attention when Tubo pursues."
Once the front army is stopped by our sniper attack, it should immediately lead the counterattack. Do not be reluctant to fight, and be careful to wait for opportunities..."
"Here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderous sound came from the end of the mountain road in the canyon. The sound echoed throughout the valley, making people tremble with fear.
The first time he saw the charge of ancient cavalry, Yang Fan was directly shocked.
No wonder that in ancient wars, cavalry has always been a lingering nightmare for infantry and an important criterion for measuring a party's power.
In the era of cold weapons, cavalry became the king on the battlefield with its powerful impact and flexible mobility.
Before the advent of modern chariots, cavalry was simply blessed. As long as the tactics were appropriate, they would usually win. Even if they suffered a defeat, they would usually be able to escape unscathed.
The infantry does not have this advantage. Once defeated, the entire army will be annihilated. Therefore, when facing cavalry, infantry generally form a square formation to prevent the cavalry from charging.
Fortunately, they deliberately let the soldiers grab a group of horses first, otherwise they would only have the fate of being slaughtered.
Before the advent of thermal weapons, cavalry was absolutely a nearly invincible unit. Its mobility and attack power were unmatched by infantry.
No wonder Tubo dared to invade the Tang Dynasty so arrogantly because its cavalry was highly mobile and could attack when advancing and defend when retreating!
Gu Ping
In later generations, the International Military Academy once conducted such a military deduction. The case is as follows:
In a showdown between 500 modern soldiers armed with submachine guns and 100,000 ancient soldiers wearing armor and holding cold weapons, when both sides are not afraid of death, no matter how the deduction is performed, the final result is that the ancient soldiers win.
Today, after seeing the impact of ancient cavalry, Yang Fan deeply realized this shock.
It is also recognized that thermal weapons may not be able to absolutely defeat cold weapons when the numbers are greatly different.
Although I exchanged some grenades, if I wanted to lead five hundred soldiers to fight, they might really be trampled into pulp!
With a wave of Yang Fan's hand, Su Dingfang and five hundred soldiers got on their horses and galloped away to the west.
Yang Fan and more than 40 personal guards stood in the middle of the canyon road. Now they could clearly see the Tubo cavalry rushing toward them like a torrent.
Even though dozens of landmines were buried in the middle of the road, Yang Fan's palms were sweating nervously.
Once these mines cannot stop the cavalry's attack, Yang Fan and others will be drowned in the rolling torrent.
After all, the cavalry's explosive charge is too invincible.
The wolf cavalry swept in like a dark cloud, with such unstoppable momentum that people's heart beats faster and faster with the dull sound of horse hooves, as if the heart would burst at any time.
No wonder the cavalry belongs to the most cutting-edge force in the cold weapon age, and indeed has the power to destroy everything.
What shocked Yang Fan the most was the skillful riding skills of these cavalrymen.
Even though the road is relatively narrow, the cavalry can still sway left and right to avoid collisions during high-speed movement, and can also maintain a relatively neat formation, which shows how elite the wolf cavalry is.
These people's riding skills and skillful movements really amazed Yang Fan.
No wonder Tubo was able to compete with the Tang Dynasty when it was at its most powerful, and each had its own victory or defeat during the hundreds of years of fighting, relying on its powerful cavalry power.
However, these cavalry are too strong!
Yang Fan subconsciously licked the corners of his lips, his throat seemed dry, and he glanced at the bodyguard next to him.
Even though these personal guards have received strict and cruel training, their hands holding grenades can't help but tremble slightly.
If it were an ordinary soldier, he would have collapsed instantly under such unrivaled momentum.
After all, how could a flesh and blood body withstand such a thunderous impact?
Of course, Yang Fan didn't mean to look down on them, because his own confidence almost collapsed amidst the overwhelming sound of horse hooves.
If Yang Fan didn't have full trust in the mines, Yang Fan would have turned around and ran away.
As the sound of the horses' hooves became louder and louder, the ground beneath their feet also shook, and they reached the wide part of the canyon road.
The formation of the Tibetan cavalry suddenly dispersed, like a rain cloud sweeping over the sky. Such a breathtaking momentum nearly suffocated Yang Fan.
Even the personal guards seemed vaguely uneasy under this momentum.
Holding back the discomfort in his heart, Yang Fan shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone listen to my command."
A low and loud voice suddenly sounded, making all the soldiers feel inexplicably relieved.
yes!
The Marquis who has the power of an immortal is here, what do they have to fear?
This is where the usual hard training comes into play.
From uneasiness to firm eyes, it shows that all the guards have gone through a spiritual baptism.
From now on, these special forces will no longer be afraid.
