Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3501 Dark and dirty
In the era of cold weapons where "cavalry is king", armored cavalry can be called "king of kings"...

Armored man and horse provide strong protection. While maintaining mobility, the combat power is rapidly improved, almost reaching the state of "invulnerability". People with armored cavalry kill people, but no one can kill armored cavalry.

Even if one or two can be killed due to the battlefield environment, it is really insignificant compared to the violent killing caused by the armored cavalry.

Just because of the powerful lethality of the armored cavalry, its deterrent effect is often better than the tactical effect. In many cases, once the armored cavalry participates in the battle, it only needs to launch a charge, and the power of landslides and ground cracks will make the enemy collapse. Invincible.

For example, right now, Zuo Tunwei suddenly launched a surprise attack. Tens of thousands of soldiers stormed the camp of You Tunwei against the wind and snow, but they were bombarded by artillery and fired in salvo, causing heavy casualties. Morale plummeted rapidly.At this time, a powerful armored cavalry suddenly appeared, and the mighty roar and tsunami it displayed when it charged made the Zuotun guards feel terrified and at a loss.

However, there was a team of superintendents behind the formation holding mo knives, and anyone who retreated was cut in front of the formation, so that the soldiers did not dare to retreat, so they could only dodge to the sides, hoping to avoid the charge of the armored cavalry.

The formation, which was originally slack, suddenly became a mess.

Chai Zhewei, who was in the back formation, felt a "hum" in his head the moment he appeared on the armored cavalry, and a bone-chilling chill appeared all over his body.

Although he can't be regarded as a famous general in the world, he still has at least a basic tactical quality due to his family background and years of leading troops.Seeing that the soldiers under his command are panicked and their formations are in chaos at this moment, once they are rushed into the formation by armored cavalry, it will inevitably be a tragic massacre.

At this moment, he couldn't take too much into account, so he quickly ordered: "Ming Jin withdraws troops, pass on the order, everyone retreats and reorganizes the formation, and must block the enemy's armored cavalry!"

"Here!"

The school lieutenant around him took the order and rode his horse to deliver the order.

When Li Yuanjing saw it, he knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Duke Qiao, why is this? We have righteousness in mind to set things right, how can we retreat in front of eagles and dogs like You Tunwei? At this moment If we retreat, the morale of the army will be unstable and the morale will collapse, and if we want to fight back, it will be as difficult as climbing the sky!"

He bet his life on this attack on Xuanwu Gate, how could he let Chai Zhewei back down?
If he can't capture the Xuanwu Gate and lead the army to take the imperial palace directly to seize the title of righteousness, he simply dare not think about the consequences...

Chai Zhewei was unmoved, and said with a cold face: "Your Highness does not know about military affairs, so it is not unusual for him to fail to see the danger at hand. This armored cavalry is almost invulnerable, and the impact is irresistible. If it rushes into our army formation, gallops freely and kills wantonly, our army will be defeated! The only way is to gather the army in one place and use the depth of the formation to delay the charge speed of the armored cavalry. As long as it slows down, it will be defeated. Let our army slaughter, otherwise we will be invincible!"

Once the armored cavalry is charged up, no amount of troops in front of them will be able to resist.The most recent war in which armored cavalry completely dominated the outcome was when Fang Jun went south in the 14th year of Zhenguan and was besieged in Caishiji by tens of thousands of Shanyue rioters.

In that battle, the armored cavalry gave full play to their own advantages, charged from top to bottom, and killed tens of thousands of rioters in the mountains, leaving corpses all over the field, and blood flowed into the red-dyed river surface of the Yangtze River.

It can be said that in such an open battlefield, armored cavalry is the nemesis of infantry, even if one is equal to ten, they can slaughter wantonly!
Zuo Tunwei is Chai Zhewei's family property, how can he just watch being massacred by armored cavalry?

What's more, he ordered the whole army to retreat and form a new formation. He also wanted to pile up human heads and flesh to block the charge of the armored cavalry. As long as there is no speed advantage, these armored cavalry will be submerged in the sea of ​​people, and they will kill him one by one. There is nothing to be afraid of if you bite to death.

But Li Yuanjing refused, staring angrily and said: "Then what about the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the king's command?"

With a cold face, Chai Zhewei held back his anger, and said: "Your Highness can recall them all together, and then re-arrange, or let the soldiers under his command stand in front."

Previously, my own side braved the hail of bullets and charged into battle, causing heavy casualties, but the tens of thousands of royal soldiers and horses brought by Li Yuanjing stood still and watched from the sidelines. Still unwilling to go into battle, he fought side by side with Zuo Tunwei.

Preserving strength also depends on the situation, right?
Lao Tzu's soldiers are charging to die in front, and you are watching the show in the back?The two parties had just joined hands when Li Yuanjing came out. It was obvious that this person had a narrow mind and short-sightedness, and he did not know what nasty things he would do in the future.

Chai Zhewei regretted so much in his heart, why did he fall in love with this trash and was willing to fight for him?
However, although the current situation is severe, as long as Youtunwei is defeated, everything is still under his control.Li Yuanjing is not the figure of a master, so he changed his course and turned around to seek refuge with Changsun Wuji. Presumably, with tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, he captured Xuanwumen again, and Changsun Wuji would definitely meet him backwards.

At that time, he kicked Li Yuanjing away...

Li Yuanjing was furious, but when he saw the change in Chai Zhewei's face, he felt a "thump" in his heart. Then he remembered that he had to rely on Chai Zhewei a lot now. If he hadn't charged forward and captured the Xuanwu Gate, how could he have a chance to occupy the position of Supreme?

For the great cause of Qianqiu, I can only endure...

He nodded and said: "The Duke of Qiao's family has a long history and is familiar with the art of war. This king will naturally follow his advice. If you come, you can order the whole army to retreat, and together with Zuotun Wei Paoze, form a new formation to resist the charge of the armored cavalry! "

"Here!"

Next to him, a son of the clan with a helmet on his back rode out to deliver the order.

The two armies seem to be in harmony with each other, and they are secretly dirty without working together. However, facing the powerful firepower of Youtunwei, they have to advance and retreat hand in hand and fight side by side.

On the battlefield, the sound of the golden drum resounded in all directions. The guards on the right let the armored cavalry charge in front, followed by infantry and musketeers, and the light cavalry guarded the two wings, and bravely rushed out of the position to launch a counterattack.

The guards in Zuo Tun were in chaos, and the chaotic formation led to the fact that the whole army did not belong to each other. Although they heard the sound of Ming Jin, some retreated, and some ran to both sides.The royal army was even more miserable. They were watching the fire from the other side, but they were beaten into a panic by the artillery bombardment. At a loss.When they received the order to retreat and hurriedly gathered their formations to retreat, the oncoming armored cavalry had already increased their speed to the limit, and their iron hooves crushed the ice and slammed into the formation, wrapped in the wind and snow.

"boom!"

Horses in iron armor galloped to mount human bodies, sharp horses pierced through the leather armor, horses neighed high and screamed terribly... All kinds of voices appeared in the royal army in an instant, gushing out Blood, splattered stumps, and fallen human bodies, when armored cavalry rushed into the formation, it was like a demon god descending into the world, reaping lives wantonly.

The armor of men and horses carries powerful kinetic energy, and the slightest touch can cause the bones of the infantry to break. Coupled with the waving horse lance, the royal army is wailing and screaming.

Li Yuanjing, who was standing in the rear, had his eyes tearing open, frightened and angry, and frantically urged the captain beside him: "Ming Jin, Ming Jin, get back quickly!"

He also urged Chai Zhewei: "Let your troops rush up to stop the enemy, or the king's army will be in danger!"

This is an army assembled by the princes, county kings, and son-in-law who supported him in the royal family. If they all died here, how should he explain to those people?More importantly, once these troops are dead, why should I still compete for the throne?
Just because of his status as a concubine of a great ancestor?Don't talk about it, in the final analysis, strength is the king. If I don't have enough strength to rely on, how can others support me to ascend to the throne?
Even if you sit in that position, you can only become a puppet of those powerful people...

Chai Zhewei pursed his lips, disapproving, and persuaded him: "Your Highness, don't worry, if the soldiers under the last general's command turn around and block the armored cavalry, the entire army will immediately fall into a passive position. How can flesh and blood fight against these iron-clad monsters? Lord, just bear with it, as long as the Zuo Tunwei withdraws and reorganizes the formation, he will be able to kill the armored cavalry!"
