Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 609 Reinforcement
"Woooooooo..."

The low-pitched horn sounded in the open field, and Er Zhu Yichen on the hill frowned. Today, his general formation has moved slightly to the west, standing by the mountain, and the rear is condescending, so as to reduce the area attacked by the Turkic cavalry.

A large open space was left between the army formation and the Hutuo River, but if the Turkic cavalry wanted to go around here, they would be attacked by the Tang cavalry led by Ma Sanbao.

The elite of Tang cavalry is elite in charge, and the strength of Turkic cavalry is in equestrianism. But if the Turkic cavalry really wants to go around, the Hutuo River on the east side will greatly weaken their space.

Beginning in the early morning, the Turkic cavalry launched a fierce offensive wave after wave. The two sides fired real fire, and the killing was so dark that the blood pooled in the low-lying places turned into small pools.

A large number of war horses fell to the ground and wailed, and a large number of crashed chariots were piled up in front of the formation. The Tang army even lit a fire to force the Turkic cavalry back when it was difficult to resist.

More than a thousand Turkic cavalry tried to bypass the Tang army from the Hutuo River, and Ma Sanbao quickly led the Tang cavalry out of battle, threatening each other faintly.

Ashina Sheer in the distance waved his hand, signaling to his attendants to order the cavalry to retreat. He also had to secretly admire the formation of the Daizhou Sima on the opposite side. It seemed to leave a way, but it was actually a dead end.

But Ashina Sheer was not in a hurry, he had already heard the news last night, and the sound of the horn just now was not meant for the cavalry under his command who were wandering back and forth by the Tang army's formation.

The sound of the horn has not stopped, and it is getting louder and louder. Er Zhu Yichen looked hesitantly at the scouts rushing towards him, and turned his head to look into the distance. On the horizon, black spots the size of ants were getting bigger little by little. There was a commotion.

It was Yuan Junzhang!

Niu Bin, Guo Ziheng, and Du Shiyuan wanted to rebel against the Tang Dynasty, but their own fame was not enough. They could only use Yuan Junzhang's name to gather a rebel army of thousands of people around Nao County.

"Yuan Junzhang!" Ma Sanbao gritted his teeth, "Huiren is so merciful!"

Er Zhu Yichen's body was trembling slightly, and the two sides were pinching each other, could he still hold on?

The most tragic moment came when the Turkic cavalry charged frantically again and again. The infantry driven by Niu Bin and Guo Ziheng approached the formation with shields in their hands, and mingled with the soldiers of the Tang army beside the chariot.

The sharp spear pierced the ribs of a Turkic cavalryman, knocking him off his horse, but the next moment, the rebel soldier who climbed onto the chariot struck the spearman's neck with a long knife, and the bowstring rang , There was an extra feathered arrow in the chest of the grim-looking rebel soldier.

Erzhu Yichen on the high platform was still trying to calm down, constantly deploying soldiers, trying to plug the gap, but even though the distance was short, how could he compare with the Turkic cavalry in terms of speed?
What's more, the appearance of the rebels shook the Tang army's morale and morale.

Unbearable, Ma Sanbao, armed with a lance, rushed out from the chaotic army, trying to repel the Turkic cavalry who were about to pounce on them and break the formation in one fell swoop. At this moment, Ashina Sheer raised his saber excitedly.

In today's chaotic battle, it is impossible for Tang Qi to maintain a state of being able to advance and retreat. As long as he stays a little away from the Tang army's formation, Ashina Sheer is sure to defeat it, or at least block its way to return.

Just when Ashina Sheer was about to go on horseback, the attendant suddenly pointed to the east side, "What is that?!"

It was still morning, and the Hutuo River was filled with mist, and the huge bow of the ship suddenly emerged from the mist, and then the whole big ship was revealed, and on the deck stood a murderous soldier with a gun and a knife.

Afterwards, one after another, large or small ships appeared in the sight of everyone, and each ship was full of people, and at a glance, the momentum was astonishing.

Ashina Sheer's face was a little distorted. Could it be that something unexpected happened when the fruits of victory were about to be obtained?
Not only Ashina Sheer saw it, but Er Zhu Yichen who was standing on the hill also saw it. His throat moved for a moment in ecstasy, but he couldn't open his mouth. He could only drag the guards around him.

The personal guards didn't even know what the general was doing, they just yelled loudly, "The reinforcements are here, the reinforcements are here!"

Erzhu Yichen on the hill can see it, and Ashina Sheer, who is a little closer to the Hutuo River, can also see it, and even those Turkic people on horseback can see some, but mainly rebels who are infantry But know nothing.

Du Shiyuan, who was behind the rebel army, shuddered when he heard the shouts of the soldiers of the Tang army. He didn't expect the reinforcements to come from the river, so he immediately turned his head to look.

Before he saw it clearly, and before he even turned around completely, Du Shiyuan heard the faint sound of bowstrings in his ears, and the guard beside him suddenly fell down from his horse.

Then what came to my ears was the sound of heavy horseshoes that quickly turned from inaudible to rumbling. Hundreds of armored cavalry came galloping. Lifted vigorously overhead.

The rebels who thought they were kicking Tang Jun's ass were kicked now, but the difference is that Tang Jun's army was unstable and fell into a melee, but they did not collapse quickly after all, and the rebels were attacked when they saw the back road. After being beheaded, he lost control almost instantly.

"Qu Liulang!" Guo Pu shouted from behind, and raised his right hand in a gesture.

Qu Liulang was the big man who refuted Li Kai's "Why did the Ming government lure you with money?" With his wrist, he threw away Du Shiyuan's body, turned his horse's head, and took the lead in charging, driving the out-of-control rebel army to the southeast.

The southeast direction was originally an open space, which was specially left by Er Zhu Yichen, but now it has become a dead area. No matter whether it is the Turks or the rebels, they are powerless against the boats that are gradually approaching the river bank, and the archers on the boats wantonly shoot arrows. Harvesting one after another human life.

Niu Bin's eyes spewed fire, and he tried to lead his bodyguards back to fight again, while the ashen-faced Guo Ziheng pulled him and fled towards the Turkic cavalry that was gradually gathering in the south.

It took no more than a quarter of an hour from the time when the boat appeared on the Hutuo River and broke out of the mist, to when the reinforcements from Dai County beheaded Du Shiyuan and defeated the rebels.

At the most critical moment, the support armies from the north and the south rushed to the battlefield almost at the same time... This made Ashina Sheer feel emotionally unacceptable.

The black ships on the Hutuo River on the east side, hundreds of cavalry from the north followed behind in formation, and the young and strong people all over the mountains and plains quickly brought the battle formation that was in chaos to a standstill.

In the big formation, the morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted, while the Turkic cavalry and the mixed rebels stayed away one after another.

There was a pause in the fighting, and Erzhu Yichen quickly dispatched the only bodyguard cavalry to support Ma Sanbao, who had already suffered heavy losses, back into battle.

Ma Sanbao led 300 cavalry into the battle, but within two quarters of an hour, nearly [-] people had been killed in battle, but such a heavy loss was also rewarded. At the most critical moment, the pace of the Turkic cavalry was slowed down, so that the Tang army could not stand before the reinforcements arrived. crash.

On the north bank of the river, Li Kai heaved a long sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Fourth Uncle to come so soon!"

Lu Chengji on the side also felt quite lucky, "And it's such a coincidence."

On the bow of the boat near the river bank, a middle-aged man wearing only a green shirt and not carrying a weapon is looking at the battlefield with his hands behind his back. He is tall and straight with white hair on his temples.
