The earth is shaking! The horses' hooves are clanking, as if they are about to tear the whole world into pieces.
Tens of thousands of cavalry roared and swept in from the north, dragging long scimitars and chopping up all the living creatures they could see. They were all wearing black chainmail, a black scimitar, and a black horse.
The horse dragged the scimitar and chopped it down, his eyes full of indifference.
"Kill! Kill all these two-legged sheep." A man who looked like a Tibetan officer shouted and appeared in front of Li Kuo, raising the scimitar in his hand.
The light spot in the torch flickered, getting brighter and brighter, and reflected on the scimitar, creating a dazzling hook.
Several rockets shot into the camp, igniting the haystacks and the tents. The fire spread along the camp, and the Tubo cavalry pierced the Tang army's chest like a sharp arrow.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The voice got closer and closer, and the ferocious faces of the Tibetan people gradually transformed and distorted, turning into Li Linfu's face that was always smiling.
"Ah!" Just as the young man was about to step forward, the face turned into that of Prince Li Heng. There was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and bright red blood flowed down his chin.
"No, no!" The young man almost went crazy, shouted and stood up, picked up the horizontal knife in his hand and slashed at the man. The cold horizontal knife struck the man, but it didn't seem to be exerting any force, and the man's body was slightly agitated.
Twisted, it turned into a mass of black nothingness.
"Ah!" The young man sat up in shock, breathing heavily.
It turned out to be a nightmare. The boy wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked into the distance.
Under the dark gray sky, jumping figures appeared one after another. The sounds of fighting and shouting did not disappear with the dream, but became increasingly clear. A real battle broke out!
"Who is responsible? Why didn't you wake me up!" Li Kuo roared like a wild beast. He didn't understand how the scene in his dream could become reality. He didn't understand why the sentry he set up didn't issue a warning in time!
"Sir, it's a bandit!" Seeing Li Kuo's hesitation and frenzy, Dou Qing hurriedly ducked to his side and reminded him in a low voice.
"Bandits?" The young man slowly calmed down. These people are not Tubo people. He is now at the junction of Guanzhong and Longyou. This group of enemies is a group of bandits who are eyeing the caravan! After thinking about the situation, Li Kuo calmed down and said,
He ordered loudly.
"How's the battle going now?"
"My lord, this group of bandits has about three to four hundred people, one man and one horse, and they are currently attacking the cargo city." Dou Qing thought for a moment and reported the situation to Li Kuo in the most concise words.
"Ask Zhang Yanji to lead a brigade to seal the north side. They must not be allowed to rush into the cargo city. You and Zhou Wuwei each lead a group of people to seal the west and east sides. Ling Pu Dachui leads a group of soldiers and horses to lead the sword formation.
Stand in front of the caravan, adapt to the situation and fill the gaps. Leave the rest to Xian Yuyucheng, divide into two groups of archers, and shoot towards the sky!" Li Kuo analyzed the form and made the most appropriate response.
Even though Li Kuo had made full preparations, everyone was still shocked when they saw the formation of the horse thieves. It was more like an army than horse thieves. There were only three to four hundred people riding tall war horses.
They were roaring and running towards us. Each of them was holding a scimitar, and they were not squinting.
"Get ready!" Xian Yuyucheng shouted, and the soldiers bent their bows and drew arrows, getting ready to go.
Two hundred steps, one hundred steps!
"shoot!"
"Don't stop, rush over, cross the cargo city, and kill them directly!" the horse thief leader shouted loudly. The opponent has the terrain advantage. If you want to win, you must rush over before the opponent shoots the second round of feather arrows.
, rely on the impact of the cavalry to break down the cargo barrier and slaughter all the sheep inside!
The explosive power of the cavalry was astonishing. After a slight adjustment, the horse thieves galloped and advanced another thirty steps.
When the horse thief was only 70 steps away from the cargo city, the archers under Xian Yuyucheng fired a second round of feather arrows. However, because the range was too close, the bow and arrow were not powerful enough to form an effective suppression, and they often landed next to the horse thief.
Then it slid down.
Li Kuo was furious. He shouted loudly, drew out his black bow, bent the bow and nocked an arrow, pointing directly at the leader of the horse thieves.
The bow was like the full moon, and the arrow was like lightning! But I saw an arrow piercing the night sky, flying towards the leader of the horse thief.
I thought that this arrow would definitely kill the horse thief. Unexpectedly, the bandit leader was extremely alert. He ducked and the short-feathered arrow whizzed past his left shoulder, but hit the horse thief behind him. The horse thief
His head was penetrated instantly, and he fell down without even making a sound.
However, the horse thieves did not care about the life or death of their companions and still rushed over at a gallop.
Zhang Yanji, who was guarding Zhengbei, was furious: "Leave thirty people to guard the caravan, and the rest rush down with me!"
All the soldiers had already stood up with swords drawn. At this time, following the brigade commander's order, they immediately crossed the cargo barrier and rushed down the hillside like lightning. Brother Kuo'er gave him a death order to hold the line of defense of the cargo city.
. Now the horse thieves have crossed seventy steps in front of the cargo barrier. If they are allowed to charge towards him, with the impact of the cavalry, they will never be able to stop him. Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to give him a try!
When two armies meet, the brave one wins!
In an instant, the soldiers were in close contact, and the weapons clashed with each other, making a harsh sound. The horse thieves attacked everyone they encountered without sparing any force. The scene became extremely chaotic. From time to time, people were cut off their horses and then trampled to death by the horses. The horse thieves were numerous and soon occupied the area.
In order to gain an advantage, they would often surround a soldier with two or three cavalry, and with their cooperation, they would force the soldier to become exhausted and surrounded by dangers.
Capture the thief first! Capture the king first! Zhang Yanji shouted loudly, and rushed towards a horse bandit with a horizontal knife. The horse bandit laughed ferociously, whistled, and immediately a dozen horse thieves came out and surrounded Zhang Yanji's flanks.
go.
Zhang Yanji didn't know it, but he still whipped the horse and rushed towards the leader of the horse thieves with all his strength.
"Quickly get out of the way!" I saw Zhou Wuwei whizzing past, his sword raised, blood splashing everywhere, and a huge head flying up.
Zhang Yanji was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and retreated with Zhou Wuwei. It turned out that the rise of suicide had inadvertently chased him out of his own camp and was faintly surrounded. Zhou Wuwei saw that he was in trouble, so he didn't care much.
, whipping his horse and whip, he ran towards Zhang Yanji.
The two of them covered each other, guarded their horns, and actually fought their way back to their own camp.
"Damn fat man, you are quite interesting!" Zhang Yanji said loudly after lightly punching Zhou Wuxin.
"Hmph, stop talking nonsense. You underestimated the enemy and rushed in. I'll see how you explain it to Brother Kuo'er!" Zhou Wuwei didn't appreciate it. He turned around and led his subordinates to greet him.
After just one round of attack, the horse thieves have already tested the strength of the soldiers. This group of officers and soldiers should not be the government soldiers, let alone the border town garrison. The combat effectiveness of the government soldiers will not be so low, and the execution ability of the government soldiers will not be so bad! These
They are just a group of new recruits who have never seen blood and are trying to gain fame!
They only need to drag their sabers and make a gash on these prey, and then watch them fall in pain and despair, draining the last drop of blood in the abyss of blood and darkness!
Zhou Wusui could not retreat. Zhang Yanji was there to take the trapped Pao Ze, and he wanted to bring them back intact!
We are Pao Ze, brothers who have passed through life.
This is a promise to his brother, and no one can stop him.
Although there is a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and himself, and although he knows that there is little hope, he must rush in. Only in this way can the besieged brothers have the possibility of being rescued! This is like a huge gamble, and either party must put in the final bet.
, because the losing party will lose everything, including their life!
A group of men led by Zhou Wuwei rushed into the array of horse thieves and were instantly lost in the vast sea of people. At this time, both sides were fighting to the extreme. Every swing of the sword would consume the remaining strength in the body. Zhou Wuwei was as if
The divine assistant swung his sword and slashed, charging and attacking the horse thieves camp like a demon.
"Alas!" Pu Dachui saw Zhou Wuwei sinking into the sea of people, and he was sweating profusely. The number of horse thieves was several times theirs. Even if Zhou Wuwei's soldiers were all extremely brave, they would not be able to defeat those several times his own.
They had the slightest advantage in front of the enemy. What's more, they were still a group of new recruits who had never seen blood! But they had their own lives on their hands and had to guard the caravan. It was really a damn thing!
Pu Dachui glanced back, only to be struck by a flash of cold light. Several large boxes inside the cargo city were overturned when Zhang Yanji led the crowd and the goods inside were poured out along the mouth of the box. Under the moonlight, there was a flash of light.
With a frightening cold light, these goods are none other than Tang Dynasty swords! (Note 1)
Pu Dachui's chest felt hot, and he shouted loudly: "Brothers, those big boxes contain the most elite Mo Dao in the Tang Dynasty. You guys can borrow it first and chop it with people and horses!"
"After saying that, he rushed out of the cargo barrier with a giant hammer and hit the horse thieves. He was extremely brave. Every time he hit the hammer, one horse thief would be knocked to the ground. In an instant, dozens of people were killed by him. Horse
The bandit leader was furious, shouted loudly, and slashed at Pu Dahamui. Pu Dahamui sneered and raised his hammer to meet him. In an instant, the two weapons collided with lightning and flint. The saber of the horse thief leader was unexpectedly smashed, and the steel hammer instantly hit the horse thief's chest.
Chest.
After this blow, the horse thief leader vomited a mouthful of blood and relied on the control of his legs to prevent him from falling off the horse.
And those horse thieves who followed him in the attack had already seen the cargo barrier close at hand, how could they retreat? They only needed to jump over the barrier lightly to chop down every prey in the cargo city. Those recruits were
A group of sheep were left to be slaughtered. They lost the advantage of the terrain and only died waiting for them!
Huh? A group of desperate soldiers rushed out, or were they infantry?
In the face of the impact of the cavalry, any infantry will be crushed to pieces. These infantry actually tried to stop them, hahaha, it was simply overestimating their own capabilities.
What? It's Mo Dao! Only when they rushed in front of them did the horse thieves find the weapon in Bing Yong's hand, and the deadly weapon whizzed towards them!
The war horse stood forward with both feet, looking up to the sky and hissing sadly, but it was no use. A sword was swung over and whizzed down. The smile on the horse thief's face solidified instantly, and a line of blood appeared from the top of his head, and the man and the horse were immediately divided into two.
Note 1: Mo Dao: Mo Dao is a long, two-edged sword that is heavier, about 50 kilograms. It is an important war material and equipment for the Tang army. From the Unification War in the early Tang Dynasty to all internal and external wars in the prosperous Tang Dynasty,
, a weapon with an unprecedented impact on later generations in the history of cold weapons appeared - the Mo Dao. It was with the Mo Dao that the Tang Army achieved a counterattack by infantry against cavalry!
