Five miles is not a short journey, but for the cavalry, it is just a gallop for half a cup of tea. It is not that far away, especially when the Dashi cavalry is in chaos at the moment.
It is undoubtedly a great opportunity to attack. The problem is that the Dashi Cavalry is just outside the encirclement of the Tang Army at this time. If it attacks at this time, it can only win a rout, but it will be extremely difficult to annihilate them all with just one person.
If the defeated cavalry army reorganized again, it would obviously not be a situation the Tang army was willing to face.
What should we do? Fight or not? If we fight, we can win, but we can't win completely. Why don't we fight? If the food army camps on the spot, they will definitely send out rangers to investigate the four directions, and the Tang army's ambush will most likely be hit.
Broken, at that point, the so-called ambush can only be a joke. There is no doubt that this is a dilemma, especially for the Tang army officers and soldiers who have been ambushing in the scorching sun for most of the day.
His physical strength and perseverance have also reached a low point. If he continues to ambush like this, his energy and energy will no longer be guaranteed.
"Instruct all ministries to be on alert and do not move without orders!"
Although Lin Chengbin never looked back, he could know how deep the anxiety was in the hearts of the soldiers around him. In fact, he himself was not at peace in his heart. He also had endless worries, but he did not show it. He held the monocular telescope
His hands were always steady, and after observing silently for a moment, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind. As soon as the order came out, the messengers hiding in the hiding place used signal flags to convey the order to various departments.
"Ohh Ohh ohh……"
Waiting and waiting, time passed like this minute by minute. Finally, a melancholy horn sounded wildly in the army of Dashi. The officers and soldiers of Dashi who had just had lunch got on their horses in disorder, making noisy noises.
They formed a scattered column noisily and began to run wildly under the scorching sun. However, the formation was much tighter than the original evacuation. Although it was still four miles long, it was far less stretched than the original one.
The situation in Shishuili obviously needs to be tightened up, both young and old.
"Send the order, attack from both sides!"
The tight formation of the Dashi Army was obviously a good thing for the Tang Army. Seeing that most of the enemy's main force had entered the encirclement, Lin Chengbin did not dare to delay any longer. He waved his hand vigorously and gave the order to attack.
"Ohh Ohh ohh……"
As soon as Lin Chengbin gave this order, the trumpeter who had been prepared immediately blew the horn with all his strength. In an instant, the entire Tianhuang Mountain Basin was boiling.
"Attack and kill!"
The sound of the horn was an order. Li He, who had been waiting impatiently behind Shaliang, shouted wildly and led his troops to rush out from the ambush in the south. The six thousand Tang cavalry were like six thousand tigers descending from the mountain.
At the same time, the seven thousand Tang cavalry led by Wang Yu also began to charge, and the two Tang cavalry thrust straight into the back of the large food army like two sharp blades.
In fact, the Tianhuangshan Basin was originally nameless. It was just a Gobi desert in the desert. It was named Tianhuangshan Basin by the Tang Army because it was located twenty miles away from Tianhuang Mountain. The entire basin was oval-shaped, with a large middle and two small,
It is mostly surrounded by tall sand ridges and low rocky mountains. The terrain in the basin is open, but there are a lot of rocks. The road is hardly smooth. As soon as the originally relatively sparse Dashi Cavalry entered the basin, it suddenly seemed crowded.
The army, which stretched for several miles, was almost piled into a pile. Suddenly, when they heard the shrill sound of horns ringing from the sand beams several miles away, they were all a little panicked.
"Bayan, lead your people to block the left wing. Mutuso, lead your troops to stop the Tang bandits on the right wing. Huktu, lead your people to capture the high ground on the left front for Pontus. The other units will form formations on the spot. Quick!"
Muhan Ali Kenyon had no idea that the Tang Army would appear here. When he saw the Tang Cavalry coming out from two wings, his heart tightened involuntarily, but he was not completely confused. He quickly looked around,
Seeing that Tang Qi was still about four miles away from his own side, and obviously still had enough time to adjust, he calmed down and hurriedly roared out the general order.
"My sons, for the glory of the true God, follow me and kill the thief!"
Esmil Weah Bayan is also a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles. He knew that it was time to fight for his life. Regardless of his physical fatigue, he pulled out the scimitar from his waist and roared,
Leading the personal guards, they turned back crazily and charged towards Li He's troops on the left wing. At the same time, the other two groups of food troops also began to charge. Although the formation was slightly disordered, in this haste, they could
To achieve such a point shows that the tactics of the Great Food Army are powerful. Compared with the eastern army that was annihilated by the Tang Army in the Surhan Valley, it is obviously much stronger than the Eastern Army.
"Array up, raise your sword!"
Seeing that Esmil Weah Bayan's troops were charging towards them fiercely, their strength was more than twice that of the Tang army. Although Li He didn't take it seriously, he didn't dare to take it lightly and raised his hand.
Hengdao roared and issued the general order. In an instant, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, who had been immersed in charging wildly, straightened their backs and quickly adjusted into a cone-shaped assault formation. At the same time, everyone raised their heads in unison.
He raised his sword horizontally, but saw that the Rulin blade shone with a cold light of death in the sunlight.
"I am invincible, kill! Kill, kill!"
The speed of both opposing sides was extremely fast. In an instant, the distance between the two armies was reduced to less than ten steps, and it was time for a hand-to-hand encounter. However, after hearing Li He's shout, the horizontal sword in his hand suddenly swung out, and a
The sharp sword light flashed past, instantly cutting a man and his horse into four pieces of a big food warrior who was charging towards him, and then rushed into the rebel army non-stop, the horizontal sword moving like flying, the sword light
Everywhere he passed, heads rolled to the ground, and there was no enemy under his command.
"The Tang Dynasty is mighty, the Tang Dynasty is mighty!"
Seeing that their leader was so brave, the already high fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty suddenly became even higher. They shouted battle trumpets and rushed into the enemy's formation along the gap opened by Li He, like a knife cutting through butter.
The general tore the Great Food Army's formation into pieces, and with just one round of impact, the front formation of the Great Food Army, which had rushed to meet them, was completely defeated.
"Guards, come with me, stop the Tang bandits and kill them!"
Esmil Weah Bayan obviously didn't expect Tang Qi's impact to be so powerful. Seeing that the front army was completely defeated, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He shouted hurriedly and led thousands of people.
The Guards launched a desperate counterattack in an attempt to block the Tang Army's powerful offensive.
"Assault, assault!"
Li He didn't even pay attention to the fleeing Dashi front army. He roared and waved his troops forward and rushed forward. In an instant, he crashed into the successive Chinese cavalry formations of the Dashi army like thunder. It was still
The killing spree continued in Ru Ru's uninhabited land, but at this time, the momentum of the Tang Army's cavalry formation had slowed down. Although it successfully dispersed the enemy's cavalry formation, its own casualties also began to increase. Not only that, the cavalry formation also began to increase.
It was also slightly scattered. At this moment, Esmir Weah Bayan led three thousand personal guards and rushed over. The two armies instantly became a mass, and the attack speed of the Tang army's left wing suddenly dropped.
At the same time, Wang Yu's troops on the right wing of the Tang Army were also tightly entangled by the general Mutuso's troops. Although the Tang Army still had the upper hand, as time went by, this advantage was gradually declining.
As the battle progressed, the Tang army's situation seemed to be getting worse.
Just as the fight between the two wings was getting fierce, more than ten thousand infantry and cavalry led by the great food general Huktu had arrived near the highest stone mountain near the exit of the basin. Seeing that there was nothing unusual up and down the mountain, I felt relieved.
He breathed a sigh of relief, for no other reason than that although the high ground here is only about eighty feet high, it is an important pass guarding the entrance and exit of the basin. As long as the food army can control this mountain, it is enough to ensure that the retreat route will not be lost, even if
If you can't defeat the Tang army, you can still protect yourself.
"Dismount, charge forward, quickly!"
Listening to the fierce fighting sounds coming from behind, Huktu obviously did not dare to waste time on reconnaissance, nor did he have the mind to figure out why the Tang army would let such an important place be ignored. As soon as he rushed to the foot of the mountain, he shouted
Then he ordered his troops to dismount and seize the mountain.
Although Huktu's large food army was small in strength, they were all battle-hardened infantry, and they were quite familiar with tactical movements. As soon as Fang got off his horse, he immediately arranged an attack formation and rushed towards the top of the mountain.
The speed is extremely fast, but the formation is still quite intact. In less than half a cup of tea, it has already advanced to the mountainside. It only takes one more sprint to reach the top of the mountain. Unfortunately, the food army is not good at it.
Your luck has run out at this point!
"Hit me!"
Just when the Dashi Army relaxed a little, they heard a loud roar from the top of the mountain. Immediately, they saw countless soldiers of the Tang Army springing up from the top of the mountain like bamboo shoots after rain. Rows of black guns were quickly aimed at them.
The Dashi officers and soldiers who were more than 30 steps away were fired unceremoniously in a burst of fire.
"Bah, bah..."
The gunshots kept ringing like fried beans. Six rows of Datang soldiers located in two trenches took turns to fire with great skill. The dense rain of bullets never let up.
The large-scale infantrymen who came up the mountain cut down one crop after another like rice. The dead and injured were all turned into gourds rolling on the ground, and miserable howls could be heard one after another.
Although this group of officers and soldiers had heard about the power of muskets for a long time, it was another matter to experience it in person. Under such a sudden attack, there was no fighting spirit at all. When the front line was full of casualties, the rear line was full of casualties.
How could the officers and soldiers dare to step forward to die again? They all turned around and fled towards the foot of the mountain. They were rolling and crawling, and they were as embarrassed as they could be...
