Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3700
Equipped iron cavalry lacked mobility, but even if they were encircled, relying on their powerful defense with both horses and horses, well-equipped cavalry and horses, they were still like a steel fortress, indestructible after formation.

More than a thousand armored cavalry changed their fronts and lost their formation to a square formation, and the surrounding soldiers were deployed layer by layer, airtight. Gao Kan led [-] personal soldiers to sit in the formation and support all parties at any time.Although this formation has lost its mobility, its defense is extremely high, supplemented by the powerful protection of armored cavalry, it is impenetrable.

The entire army resisted the frenzied attack of the main force of the rebel army, and retreated with ease, preventing the enemies who turned around from the two wings from outflanking themselves. Mainstay.

The eldest Sun Jiaqing led the elite of the headquarters to charge wildly, but when they hit the opponent's array, it was shattered and blood was everywhere, but it was difficult to shake it.

The Fangyuan Formation retreated slowly amidst the siege of the rebels, like a roller full of blades, rolling and crushing among the crowd, everywhere it passed, residual value was everywhere, and blood flowed like a river.

The rebels were already terrified.

Even the Changsun family's army under Changsun Jiaqing's command was terrified when faced with such a small but indestructible armored cavalry who cut off their own flesh when they got close, and their morale dropped rapidly. In order to go around shouting and drinking in the distance, but the feet dare not go forward for a long time...

Changsun Jiaqing's scalp was also numb, no amount of troops could stand up to the armored cavalry's knife edge, and the armies of the surrounding clans were already terrified and afraid to step forward. How will you lead the Guanlong families in the future?

But retreat is definitely not possible. After being rushed by others like this, there will be countless casualties. If you retreat without a fight and let the right guards leave calmly, Changsun Wuji will have to kill himself...

He waved the horizontal knife and shouted: "Surround him, surround him! You only need to surround him to death, and he will not be able to fly. If we let him kill so many people, he will die of exhaustion!"

The surrounding soldiers were silent...

The truth is indeed the truth, no matter how powerful the armored cavalry with more than a thousand people is, no matter how strong the defense is, as long as they are trapped in the formation, they are like turtles in a urn, and they will be eaten one by one sooner or later.

But the question is who will step forward to consume the physical strength of the armored cavalry with their lives, and who will hide behind to grab the final victory?

It’s fine when you’re on the brink of desperation and you’re fighting to the death. Everyone fights bravely. Whoever dies and whoever lives lives in peace, but the situation is completely different now. The one who dies first and the one who gets to work later, whoever’s brain is broken, desperately goes first. Rush up?

The rebels gathered densely in the narrow strip between the city wall of Chang'an and the Longshou Canal, and surrounded more than a thousand armored cavalry. However, the fighting gradually subsided, and more people followed suit with the armored cavalry. , but only willing to yell from a distance, or shoot cold arrows suddenly, but never rush to fight.

The soldiers on the city wall looked down, and saw tens of thousands of troops moving slowly with the square formation equipped with iron cavalry, as if they were practicing...

Although surrounded by heavy siege, the armored cavalry showed no signs of fear.Although the enemy formed a circle from a distance, it always formed a siege, but it gave soldiers and horses a rare opportunity to recover their physical strength.Equipped iron cavalry, men and horses are well armored, and the mobility is poor because they carry too much weight. Even if these soldiers are tall and strong, and the horses are one in a hundred, it is difficult to withstand huge physical exertion.

Once caught in a tight siege and faced with fighting in all directions, the physical strength is quickly consumed, and in the end it can only become a turtle in the urn until the entire army is wiped out.

But right now, this situation does not exist.

The soldiers and horses retreated slowly amidst the siege of the rebels, quickly recovered their physical strength, and always maintained a strong combat power.Gao Kan lived in the formation, with a calm and calm face under the head, commanding the soldiers to tie up the square formation tightly without leaving a single gap, while waiting for the opportunity.

Soon, the opportunity came.

Under the command of Changsun Jiaqing, the rebels on both sides detoured all the way north, trying to block the armored cavalry at the narrow place between the city wall at the northeast corner of Chang'an City and Longshou Canal.The two armies galloped all the way and were about to reach their destination. When the encirclement was about to be completed, a light cavalry suddenly rushed out from Longshouyuan.

Thousands of light cavalry, lightly armed and simple, came condescendingly, taking advantage of the terrain, like arrows flying off the string.The two rebels who were outflanking and outflanking had no time to change their formation, and the formation that appeared to be scattered due to the rapid march was broken by the light cavalry.

The light cavalry interspersed back and forth among the enemy's formations, and quickly cut the rebels into several chaotic formations, and then rode and shot crossbow arrows, dividing and attacking, killing the rebels howling and fleeing desperately.

There is no way, if the infantry can wait for the opponent's physical strength to be exhausted to surround the armored cavalry, then if the light cavalry with strong mobility, they can only escape for their lives...

Gao Kan was keenly aware of the sudden chaos in the north. He knew that the supporting troops had arrived, and immediately ordered: "The whole army will lose its battle and break through to the north!"

"Here!"

The soldiers under his command agreed in unison. During this period of time, the soldiers who have recovered their physical strength quickly changed formations. Thanks to the usual arduous training, even though they are in the chaos of the army at this moment, they are still calm and comfortable when changing formations. The army worked perfectly like a precision machine, and the formation was completed very quickly.

Gao Kan became the vanguard again from the position of the central army, and more than a thousand armored cavalry formed a huge "front loss", suddenly accelerated, and broke through to the north.

In the past, the rebels were afraid of the lethality of the armored cavalry, so they refused to go up to melee and kept surrounding them from a distance. This gave the armored cavalry enough space to exert their strength.

When the armored cavalry charged again, no amount of infantry could resist it, and all obstacles blocking its charge were trampled by the cavalry and chopped to pieces with steel knives.

Gao Kan led his armored cavalry on a rampage all the way, killing north.

The rebels around were terrified and fled towards the sides like a tide, not daring to beat them.

Soon, the charged armored cavalry only felt loose in front of them, and the main force of the enemy had been left behind. They passed by the oncoming reinforcements, galloped all the way, escaped into the densely forested forbidden garden on Longshouyuan, and returned Daming Palace.

Thousands of light cavalry were responsible for the rear of the heavy cavalry. After the armored cavalry escaped into the forbidden garden, they shot all the crossbow arrows they carried, and then followed the armored cavalry like a howling wind and clouds. The area between the first canals left corpses everywhere, and wounded soldiers were still turning and crying.

Changsun Jiaqing led his soldiers to this place, looked at the tragic situation in front of him, and then looked at the dense forest on Longshouyuan, which was getting higher and higher in front of him, he felt his eyes go dark, and he almost fell off his horse.

He is in charge of guarding Tonghua Gate and commanding the clan's army here. This is Changsun Wuji's trust in him, and it is also the power of Changsun's family as the "leader" of Guanlong.However, at this moment, he was attacked and killed by Youtunwei Yitong, and suffered a heavy loss. This was not only the incompetence of his eldest grandson Jiaqing, but also the face and prestige of his eldest grandson's family were thrown on the ground and trampled on by others.

Not only that.

Right now, the peace talks are at the most critical time. In the morning, Changsun Wuji ordered the troops from all over the country to strictly guard against possible surprise attacks. As a result, his side was defeated in the evening.The consequences caused by this are extremely serious, which will make Guan Long lose his initiative at the negotiating table, and even lead to the complete breakdown of the peace talks.

At the critical moment when Li Ji entered Tongguan and was eyeing Chang'an, he suffered such a defeat. One can imagine how angry Changsun Wuji would be...

For the deep and ruthless Patriarch of the city, he was jealous from the bottom of his heart. However, at this moment, a big mistake was made. The guards in the right guard and the cavalry quickly fled away under the support of the light cavalry. The dense forest may ambush the soldiers of Youtunwei at any time. He didn't dare to chase him at all, he could only watch the enemy run away.

Not only did all the soldiers lose their morale, but Changsun Jiaqing himself was also dejected, and said helplessly: "Count up the losses, check the number of people, and then report to the Patriarch."

There is no way to hide. There are nearly [-] soldiers and horses gathered here, and countless pairs of eyes are watching. If you want to hide the loss, you can't do it. You can only report the truth, and then resign yourself to fate.

It is conceivable that after this battle, Guan Long will inevitably criticize him as a commanding general in every possible way, thereby weakening the Changsun family's control over the powerful army and increasing the dominance of each family...

*****
Yuwen Shiji was humiliated by Cheng Yaojin in Tongguan, and he didn't wait for a moment. He decisively ended the trip to lobby Li Ji, and returned to Chang'an with his servants and soldiers.

As soon as he arrived at Baqiao, he was so frightened by the fierce battle that he almost fell off his horse.

I'm really afraid of what's coming...
