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

Chapter 94: The Tang soldiers were terrified, and even the legendary army joined Dayan!
"General, you don't have to be so anxious. After all, General Li leads 1,800 cavalrymen, which is enough to annihilate the enemy."

A lieutenant general of the army spoke to the anxious commander.

The Tang commander of this army of nearly 2,000 infantry narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't underestimate the enemy!"

"You have seen how elite the enemy is. You must not be careless just because they are the remnants of the enemy army."

"After all... this was an enemy that even General Yuchi could not defeat even with his black armored heavy cavalry!"

The deputy general heard this and thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.

"Sorry, I'm just ignorant."

He cupped his hands in apology.

The commander of the Tang Dynasty waved his hand and said, "It's okay. General Li's scout reported not long ago that he has led his army to force the remnant of the Tianji army into a desperate situation. The remnant of the Tianji army has no way out."

"Once we cross this plateau, our army will be able to meet General Li. If the battle is not over by then, the entire army will rush to support us! We will try to end the war!"

"Tomorrow, we can return to Qiao'an County!"

Qiao'an County was one of the six counties in Liangzhou.

He was originally a commander in Qiao'an County. Following Yuchi Jingde's order for a large-scale encirclement and suppression campaign, he led two thousand infantrymen under his command and rushed to support Yuchi Jingde and join the annihilation campaign against the Tianji Camp.

Just this battle,
Yuchi Jingde called in a total of fifteen generals like him.

Together with the 5,000 black-armored heavy cavalry led by him and the 3,000 Youzhou cavalry led by Hejian King Li Xiaogong, it can be said that a huge number of northern military forces were mobilized.

It can be said that Xue Wanche and his Tianji Camp are highly valued.

Under the night.

The Tang commander also led his two thousand infantrymen to rush to the other side of the plateau to support General Li.

but!
The next moment, thunderous sounds of horse hooves were heard.

"Is....General Lee victorious?"

"That should be it! Hahaha, it looks like he has wiped out the remaining Tianji troops!"

"Our army has won a complete victory in this battle! It's time to report the good news to General Yuchi."

"Hahaha, I can finally go home."

"...."

In the army, some young soldiers have begun to celebrate.

But the expressions of several older soldiers in the army suddenly changed drastically.

“It’s… it’s the sound of horse hooves!”

“They…it’s them!”

"They are back! It's not General Li, but the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun who disappeared for many years."

"..."

These people looked as if they had experienced something extremely terrifying. They were all trembling with fear and soon knelt on the ground, trembling.

They were prostrating themselves on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads. They looked extremely pious, and their old faces were filled with longing and fear.

During the conscription period ten years ago, almost every soldier aimed to join the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun.

It can be said,
The wave of people joining the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun at that time was even more powerful than the wave of people joining the Black Armor Cavalry of King Qin.

It was the undisputed star cavalry of the Tang Dynasty back then!

Countless people yearn for it, countless people want to join!

"what happened?"

"Hey, you old soldiers, what are you crazy about?"

"Hurry, get up! Don't kneel on the ground. You have embarrassed the soldiers of Qiao'an County!"

"..."

When the young and strong men in the army saw this scene, which happened in front of the enemy, they naturally felt embarrassed and pulled them up.

"what!"

"You... who are you, why are you so powerful!" "Why... you are also soldiers of Dayan, why are you killing my comrades, ah!"

"Joined Da Yan? Even you joined Da Yan, why? Why? You... are the goal I have been pursuing my whole life!"

"..."

Although we couldn't see what was happening on the other side from the plateau in front, we could hear bursts of screams from the Tang cavalry, which sounded like they had encountered something horrible.

"what happened?"

The commander and deputy general of this Tang Dynasty infantry unit frowned, looking puzzled.

On the other side of the hill,
Although the number of people is not large, there are at least 1,800 cavalrymen.

There are so many people and horses.

Wouldn't it be easy to capture the remaining Tianji troops?
however….
The screams and wails continued, endless panic seemed to be spreading, and it sounded like a one-sided massacre there.

No one knows what happened in that darkness.

The situation is getting more and more bizarre!

In the quiet night, only a few old soldiers were lying on the ground, prostrating themselves, shivering constantly, but not daring to move.

The weather is a little cold tonight, and the cold wind is still howling. These veterans are not afraid of the cold ground at all, and they just kneel like this, as if...
Who are you welcoming?

"The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun they are talking about, are they the ones in my memory?"

The Tang commander looked solemn.

He is still young, but when he was a child he heard some rumors about the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun. It is said that the cavalry was the face of the Tang Dynasty.

It was also the face of the Han family during the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty!
It's them!
Under Luo Yi's leadership, the Han Dynasty was prevented from invading the Turks in the north time and time again, which led to the civil war among the Han princes in the country and peace in the Han territory.

Is it them?

But...didn't they disappear for more than ten years?

Even if it was them, why would they... mobilize troops against the current Tang Dynasty?
Is that the soldier from Dayan?
But how is this possible? Dayan comes from the West. They are so attached to the Han family and protect the Han family. How could they join the Western countries?

The Tang Dynasty commander had many thoughts.

However, the order was not disturbed at all.

After hearing the thunderous sound of horse hooves, he quickly began to deploy his infantry formation.

He is very experienced in leading troops.

The formation was designed to deal with cavalry.

It is well known that cavalry will suffer a one-sided massacre when facing infantry.

But under his command, the infantry was capable of fighting against the cavalry. In previous exercises with other Tang cavalry, he led the infantry to fight against the same number of cavalry and achieved two wins and three losses.

And those three defeats were all narrow defeats.

It can be said that he is an extremely strong infantry general.

"Da da da!"

The sound of horse hooves is getting closer.

It was like a death-threatening scale, and there were no obstacles at all along the way.

There were only howling sounds coming one after another!

The Tang commander has already formed his battle array to meet the enemy.

Judging from the screams, the enemy is very strong.

He did not expect to win, he just wanted to delay the enemy and then wait for other Tang army commanders to arrive and rescue him.

Behind him, there are tens of thousands of Tang troops, as well as Yuchi Jingde and Hejian King Li Xiaogong, and powerful troops coming to his rescue.

And what about Dayan?
They have penetrated deep into the Tang Dynasty, so the enemy's numbers must be small.

How to compete with the Tang Dynasty?

So, he was not panicked at all.
