Tang Dynasty: After dominating Rome, I counterattacked Chang'an

Chapter 68 The terrible Yaoguang Camp, what kind of monster did Li Chengdao raise!

Even so, they are a real army.

Although they are not elite, they still have decent combat effectiveness.

A configuration of up to two thousand people is enough to protect the entire Qinghe County.

The 2,000 city defense troops of Qinghe County can be considered as a county with abundant tax revenue among the nearby counties. Only with abundant tax revenue can the county afford to support such an army.

But even so, General Li was still worried.

What kind of terrifying existence could the enemy be that makes General Chai feel like he is facing a formidable foe?

General Li kept thinking about it all the way, and he was still thinking about it when the army gathered and set out.

He hadn't fought a proper war for a long time, either suppressing bandits or bandits. He hadn't been to a real battlefield for a long time, so he was extremely worried.

"Don't worry, General Li. With General Chai here, we'll be fine."

"Who knows? We are just transporting troops. When the time comes, the army will be handed over to General Chai, and he will be in charge of everything."

On the way, the magistrate of Qinghe County kept comforting him.

In fact, he was also very nervous. The reason he comforted Li Shoujiang was because Li Shoujiang was the commander of this army. If he was confused, how could he lead the army to fight?

"Yes, that's what the county magistrate said."

General Li felt a little relaxed after hearing what he said.

Under the night,
Two thousand Qinghe County defense troops slowly stepped into Taihang Mountains.

The soldiers were extremely alert. After all, it was night and they were in the mountains. Even ordinary people were afraid that a snake or something would pop out at the next moment, so they were all very alert.

"Whoosh!"

But the next moment,
The quiet night was broken by an arrow!
Then, several arrows attacked.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss!”

Since the two thousand city defense troops had no military formation and were all close to each other in order to fight against the darkness of the night, more than a dozen soldiers were shot dead and fell to the ground in an instant, and more than twenty others were shot and injured.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!!"

General Li shouted loudly.

Following his shout, other centurions and decurions also reacted and walked around to alert the soldiers.

But no sooner had they given the order than the sound of horse hooves could be heard everywhere in the surrounding forest.

It was a scene like the entire forest was filled with cavalry.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss!”

One by one, the soldiers of the Yaoguang Camp rushed out from the darkness, took the life of a Tang soldier with their swords, and then fled into the endless darkness of the forest.

They appeared everywhere, as if the entire forest was filled with Yaoguang Camp soldiers.

All of a sudden, the army was in chaos.

"Damn it, quickly form a defensive formation to resist the bandits!"

General Li shouted.

But his shouting was in vain.

His soldiers were gathered together without knowing the reason, and were only told that they might go to the battlefield.

Was told to go to the battlefield.

But...this is Jiangdong!

During the period when the Tang Dynasty was waging foreign conquests, Jiangdong had always been at peace. In fact, because of Jiangdong's coastal location, they had never encountered any enemy invasions.

The most they faced were some bandits and robbers.

Most of the Tang Dynasty soldiers thought that the battlefield at that time meant facing bandits and robbers.

That way, they would have combat experience.

Can….
No!

no! ! !

This is a group of cavalry!
damned!
Where did Jiangdong get the cavalry? Even the Wu Kingdom, which brought Jiangdong to the top of the Three Kingdoms, did not develop cavalry when they occupied Jiangdong, because that was impossible! They had no experience in fighting with cavalry, nor had they experienced too many colleagues being slaughtered.

When they faced those bandits, they always had the upper hand. Even if there were deaths in battle, there were only a few unlucky soldiers. How could they have the experience of people dying every minute and every second now?
And it was late at night, which is the most panicking time for a person because it is human nature to be afraid of late at night.

Add to that an unknown number of enemy troops, and it seemed as if the entire forest was filled with enemy cavalry.

then….
Their formation collapsed, and so did their mentality.

"Run, run, I don't want to die!"

"Damn it! They didn't tell me we were facing cavalry before we came. They are the kings on the battlefield. How can we fight them?"

"Wuwuwu, mother... mother! Where are you?"

"Help, I surrender, I surrender!"

"...."

Although the battle had just begun, many soldiers had already chosen to surrender.

But the killing continues.

The soldiers of the Yaoguang Camp seemed to be using the same tactics they had used against the Western soldiers. They knew that these were Han Chinese and they felt pity for them, but the battle tonight was too important and they did not want to use unfamiliar tactics against these Tang soldiers and end up in failure.

Therefore, they used the tactics they were best at in the West to deal with these Tang Dynasty soldiers!
Through non-stop massacres, the enemy's psychological defenses were constantly torn apart, causing the enemy to flee in panic.

Today, they do.

"Damn it, who are they? Why are they so elite?!"

General Li's eyes were glaring.

Although it was late at night, he saw it, saw it clearly.

The enemy cavalry is well-trained!
That was no ordinary cavalry. He had experienced the Turkic War and knew that ordinary cavalry could not be so powerful. At least it had to be the ace cavalry of a country to be able to do so!
Can….
This is the heartland of Jiangdong. Where did the enemy's ace cavalry come from?
How did they infiltrate? What did Chai Shao… hide from them?
Endless confusion and painful incomprehension emerged in General Li's mind.

But he also knew that now was not the time to think about these things. He had to quickly organize an effective formation to resist this cavalry, otherwise... everyone would die here.

Although these two thousand city defense troops collapsed, there were still two centurion armies maintaining their formation.

That was an army that he trained personally, and there was something about it that could be called an elite army!

This is also….
The hope of a comeback that he now relies on so much.

The two armies, led by their centurions, were converging towards him.

but….
At this moment, several soldiers from the Yaoguang Camp rushed towards him.

In the middle of the night, they fought for a while before they discovered the existence of General Li, so they came to kill him.

To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. This is how the Yaoguang Camp always fights.

Only by capturing or killing the bandit leader can the enemy army flee faster.

"General, be careful!"

Some of the guards reacted and resisted.

But he was only an infantryman, and was knocked to the ground by a soldier from the Yaoguang Camp at the first encounter. Then several soldiers from the Yaoguang Camp passed him and aimed directly at the head of General Li.

"What? What's going on?"

General Li didn't know what was happening and turned around quickly.

At that moment, a gleam of sword light flashed in his eyes.

Then,

General Li saw a suit of armor, that...that was his armor.

original,

When the blade passed over him, his head had already left his body.

Dong Dong Dong….
The round human head fell to the ground and kept rolling.

This situation can be seen everywhere nowadays, but this head is different. He is... the leader of this army.
