I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 728: Defeating Shang Zhixin's Army

Wang Guodong said disappointedly: "Is there no other solution?"

Shang Zhixin's eyes were firm, "There is a way."

"any solution?"

Shang Zhixin said: "I will lead 2,000 cavalrymen to attack their positions. When the Tang army flees, the cavalrymen will follow and use volleys to consume the Tang army. Then we can attack the camp."

Wang Guodong praised: "Great idea."

Shang Zhixin asked, "Governor Chen, what do you think?"

"Great idea."

Chen Hongming also nodded and praised: "If we follow your method, it is equivalent to letting the cavalry charge first to attract the attention of the Tang army, and then we will take the opportunity to cover the charge and defeat the enemy in one sentence."

Wang Guodong said: "Since everyone thinks it's okay, let's get ready quickly."

"Boom."

There was a sound of explosion outside the hard drive. Chen Hongming was surprised and said, "They actually used gunpowder bags. This is cheating."

Shang Zhixin said calmly: "Cheating is fine. On the battlefield, no matter who cheats, victory or defeat depends on a single thought."

Chen Hongming nodded and said, "Yes, this is a battlefield. It doesn't matter what means you use. As long as you win, you win."

"Boom!"

"puff!"

The gunpowder bags made a loud noise in the camp, and the air was filled with smoke. Some cavalrymen screamed and fell to the ground, and then after struggling to keep it down, there was no more movement.

"Fire arrows."

"Boom, boom, boom!"

After a brief confrontation, both sides paid a heavy price.

Wang Guodong was supervising the battle on the left wing. Seeing this, he shouted, "Idiot, retreat quickly!"

He saw a horse galloping very fast.

"Protect the Marshal."

More than a hundred cavalrymen rushed forward and tried to intercept the Tang cavalry.

"Fire arrows."

A volley duel is almost as brutal as the hand-to-hand combat on ancient battlefields.

The Tang cavalryman galloped on his horse, waving his long sword, bringing out pieces of cold light.

"Jingle, clang, clang."

The cavalrymen drew their swords to block, and some even used their arms to resist the long swords.

"puff"

A long sword slashed a cavalryman's chest. He staggered a few steps and was immediately supported by someone.

"How are you doing?"

The trooper panted, looked up at the man in charge of him, and grinned, "I'm fine, just aches all over."

The man who was supporting him was a small flag. When he saw that the person next to him had fallen to the ground, he lowered his head to look at his arm.

It had swelled up into a mass.

"Hey hey!"

He lamented, sat down on the ground, and panted, "This battle can't be fought."

Another cavalry warrior, Nei Gu, said in a hoarse voice: "They are devils, they are more ferocious than the Tatars."

"Yes."

"This is not a cavalry, this is clearly a tiger!"

The panic among the cavalrymen spread quickly, and then they managed to stabilize themselves under the shouting of their respective captains.

Wang Guodong pulled the reins of his horse and looked into the distance.

"They've already rushed in."

“Are they not afraid of death?”

“I’m afraid of death, but I’m more afraid of hunger.”

Shang Zhixin rode over and looked at the counterattack of the Tang army with his head a little dazed. He didn't know why his troops couldn't defeat the Tang army formation no matter how they charged. Instead, after several rounds of volleys, the ground was littered with the bodies of his own people.

"Damn, I've never fought such a frustrating battle."

Wang Guodong gritted his teeth and asked, "Are they all crazy?"

"Yes, they are all crazy."

Shang Zhixin said calmly: "The Tang army's firearms are powerful, so we must use cavalry to charge, otherwise the cavalry will be exhausted, and their children are constantly delivering supplies, so we can't fight hard, otherwise..."

He turned around and asked Wang Guodong, "How long can our cavalrymen be kept in check?"

Wang Guodong's face turned slightly blue, and he whispered: "Hold on? If it's the sixth time, the whole army will be wiped out today." "Damn it!"

Shang Zhixin frowned and said, "We should retreat. If we continue to fight like this, we will lose everything we have!"

Wang Guodong smiled bitterly and said, "I want to leave too, but look, they are surrounding us like a hunt. In this situation, can we escape?"

At this moment, he finally understood why Shang Zhixin requested a surprise attack.

The cavalry are elite and cannot die here.

Shang Zhixin obviously thought that a surprise attack would be best, so he made the arrangement to lure the enemy into a surprise attack.

But he overlooked one thing.

That is, the Ming army was attacking on both the north and south fronts, burning, killing and looting along the way, and their eyes were already red with anger.

A general led his men to charge out, roaring as if they were going to tear the Ming army in front of them into pieces.

"Kill the enemies, kill them!"

"Capture them, eat meat and drink wine."

More and more Tang army soldiers gathered, and at the call of the generals, they rushed forward madly.

Although the Tang army's cavalry was brave and good at fighting, they were still suppressed due to the huge disparity in numbers.

The Tang army's cavalry kept gathering their troops, trying to avoid casualties.

These casualties did not come from the cavalry, but from the infantry behind.

Countless infantrymen swarmed in and then overwhelmed the Tang army in front like a tide.

The Tang army's infantry swarmed over like ants and rushed in front of them.

"Kill the enemy, kill!"

The roar of the Tang army gradually became louder, and then they began to hack and kill.

After they chopped down their enemy companions, they cut off their heads.

Such a scene made the cavalry feel uneasy. They wanted to turn around and leave, but the armor on their backs prevented them from moving.

The shouting and screaming of the Tang army gradually died down, and then became silent, but the Tang army had already finished its charge.

They stood there, watching the blood and flesh flying all over the ground, and then rejoiced.

A general drew the sword from his waist and roared to the sky.

"Hahahaha, I killed the enemies. I killed them all."

The guards around were also howling with excitement. Someone shouted, "Go back and tell the people in the Imperial City that they did something wrong."

"Correct."

"They should have sent out cavalry instead of using bows and infantry, which would only increase casualties."

When the Tang army rushed out, their heroic spirit of facing death with indifference infected everyone.

They were like a group of hungry beasts who pounced on the food after smelling the meat.

Even Shang Zhixin couldn't help but frown at this momentum.

The Tang army's momentum was too strong.

And these momentum made the Tang army's military strength soar.

"I can't stay here any longer!"

Shang Zhixin chopped down the enemy on the opposite side with a knife, and then said: "Let's retreat."

"withdraw!"

The cavalry began to turn their horses around and head back.

"Pursuit."
