Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 776 Iron Rider Across (4)

"The two-winged cavalry attack, and the crossbowmen step forward and hold the ground!"

It takes time to arrange troops. Even if the Dashi Army is considered a master of a hundred battles, it is impossible to arrange a defensive formation in a short period of time. The sudden acceleration of the Tang army makes it clear that it is going to rush into the formation in one fell swoop. He intends to play a game of confrontation with the Great Food Army. Obviously, the Great Food Army can't get a perfect defensive formation before the Tang Army kills. Now, I dare not use a chaotic formation to block the onslaught of the Tang cavalry. In desperation, I can only order the cavalry on the two wings to come forward to meet the enemy, thinking that my [-] infantry formation will fight for the enemy. to precious time.

"Assault with the whole army, kill through the enemy formation!"

Although he had already seen the attack of the Dashi two-winged cavalry, Lin Chengbin did not intend to change his original intention. He stretched out his hand and took the long horse lance hanging from the victory hook in his hand. He pointed forward and shouted down. make.

"The Great Tang is mighty, the Great Tang is mighty!"

With the order of the general, the horns of the Central Army Division rang out mournfully. While shouting the battle horns in unison, the three Tang troops skillfully arranged three neat assault formations while galloping. Like a sharp sword, he slayed the cavalry cavalry who rushed forward hastily.

"boom……"

The two streams of iron collided without fancy, and there was a loud noise that shook the sky. People fell on their backs, and their heads rolled to the ground. After colliding for a moment, nearly a hundred soldiers on both sides fell off their horses. , immediately became intense, and the two armies that refused to give in to each other instantly strangled into a group.

In the case of equal strength, head-to-head group confrontation tests the comprehensive strength of both sides. In this regard, the Datang Cavalry undoubtedly has an absolute upper hand, whether it is equipment, individual quality, or formation. The ability to adjust is all like this. On the other hand, the Dashi Cavalry Army is inferior to the boss of the Tang Army in every aspect except for a little advantage in horsepower. The only thing that can compete with the Tang Army is perhaps only the Dashi officers and soldiers. It was with the support of such fanaticism that even though the cavalry on the two wings were killed all over the field, they still desperately entangled the two troops of Li He and Wang Yu on the two wings of the Tang army. It was difficult to separate, but the Datang Central Army, which seemed to have the least number of troops, was the first to make a breakthrough in penetration.

The central army led by Lin Chengbin only has more than [-] elite cavalry, which is obviously much smaller than the [-] troops on each flank. This is not caused by Lin Chengbin's mistakes, nor is it because of his overconfidence in his own bravery , but according to the special arrangement of the formation of the Great Food Army - the Great Food Army has all the cavalry on the two wings. The food officers couldn't see this loophole, but they were too far apart from each other, and it was difficult to achieve coordination. That is to say, when they saw that the situation was not good, they each allocated a few soldiers and horses to rush to the center. With no subordinates and fighting independently, how could they be able to withstand the fierce impact of the elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty?

"Assault forward, kill through the enemy formation!"

After killing and disbanding the Dashi cavalry who rushed up to meet them, Lin Chengbin didn't pay attention to the fierce battle on the two wings, and didn't care about the scattered soldiers who fled in all directions. He waved the long horse in his hand and led his troops towards the three hundred paces. The infantry phalanx of the Great Food Army rushed over.

"Archer ready!"

Modo Xina is an old man who has fought battles. He also knows that his cavalry may not be the opponent of the Tang cavalry, and he does not dare to hope that his cavalry, which hastily attacked, can really defeat a strong opponent. The only hope It's just that our own cavalry can delay a little more time, but they didn't expect that this wish could not be fully realized. Seeing Lin Chengbin leading his troops to kill at high speed, his face immediately turned ugly, and because of the occasional big food step The military formation is still in the process of being adjusted. If the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty directly rushed into the formation, the entire army would collapse immediately. However, there are no cavalry in hand to call, so we can only pin our hopes on the early formation. On the body of two thousand archers in formation.

"Crossbow!"

Seeing the Dashi Bowman is already on the verge of swords and arrows, Lin Chengbin naturally does not want to suffer such a rain of arrows for nothing, so he raised his hand, and the master let out a yell, and in an instant, the five thousand soldiers who were galloping on horses gathered together He quickly pulled out the chain crossbow hanging from his waist, and the formation changed from the original dense assault formation to a scattered and loose formation.

"Fire arrows!"

The distance of two hundred steps seems far away, but to the galloping cavalry, it was nothing more than a blink of an eye. Soon, the Tang cavalry had already rushed to the distance of less than seventy steps from the cavalry formation. Just when Modo Xina was about to give orders to shoot arrows, Lin Chengbin's roar rang out first.

"Whizzing……"

With a general order, the cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty who had been on standby for a long time did not dare to delay a little bit, and pulled the triggers in unison. The front row fired directly, and the rear row shot. Out, dense like a field of locusts swept across the air, like a torrential rain, covering the formation of the Great Food Army.

"Fire the arrow, let the arrow go!"

Tang Jun's serial crossbows had already fired their power, and Modo Sina just shouted out the order. It was obviously a bit late, and most of the big food archers had already been shocked by the arrow rain rising from Tang Jun's formation. Now, under the sore hands and feet, how can there be any accuracy at all, although they all shot the arrows that have been held for a long time, but they are neither uniform nor have the slightest momentum, and many feather arrows even just flew out. Thirty or forty steps away, they fell to the ground in a mess. For the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty rushing forward, there were very few threats, let alone no one!
Crash, a complete crash!Fifty thousand steel arrows is not a small number. If it were replaced by a large food army, then fifty thousand crossbowmen would have to shoot at the same time. Only then can there be such a scale. Not to mention that the steel arrows fired by the Tang army's crossbow machine are far more powerful than ordinary bows. On the crossbowmen, such steel arrows are only covered by one, and the big food army will be out of luck. Most of the archers in the front row were shot into sieves immediately, although the shield swordsmen in the back were trying their best to piece together a shield. The formation is over, but the formation was originally incomplete, and the protective ability of the temporary shield formation is pitifully low. Many people also cried and rolled on the ground, and the people and horses trampled on each other, causing even more casualties. When the Tang cavalry army arrived, the unformed formation had already disintegrated.

"Don't mess around, prepare to meet the enemy, prepare to meet the enemy!"

Before the battle, Modo Sina had heard that the weapons and equipment of the Tang army were extremely sophisticated, not only the firearms were extremely sharp, but the bows and crossbows were also terribly strong, but he didn't care too much. After witnessing the power of the Tang army's arrow array for a while, my heart has already cooled down for a long time, but I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders. The chaos of the army, but unfortunately the effect is very little. In such a field, all the officers and soldiers are already panicked, and who has the heart to listen to the command of the general.

"Assault, assault!"

Seeing that the enemy formation was in disarray, how could Lin Chengbin miss such a good opportunity to defeat the enemy, he roared and led his troops to charge wildly, and broke into the chaotic formation of the food army in an instant, with the spear in his hand Ma Lian swept around and killed all the Dashi rebellious soldiers blocking the front to the ground. The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty who followed behind saw this, and everyone fought bravely to be the first. Just one conflict, the Dashi army was wiped out. The array was completely torn to pieces.

It doesn't matter if the Dashi infantry is so defeated. The Dashi two-winged cavalry, which was gritting their teeth and fighting to the death with the Tang army, immediately lost their fighting spirit. There is no fighting spirit at all. They fled in all directions, lost their helmets and armor, and were completely defeated.

"Order: All ministries pay attention to speed control, and drive the defeated army to the enemy's main force!"

Even though the big food army that came to intercept it was defeated with just one blow, and the results were brilliant, but Lin Chengbin did not get carried away with complacency, and calmly gave the order, and the messengers who followed him conveyed the order with horns When they arrived at the various Tang cavalry that were chasing bravely, they saw that the various Tang cavalry deliberately slowed down their pursuit, and even released several small troops to drive the scattered routs together. Like herding sheep, he drove the defeated soldiers of Dashi to the place where the main force of the enemy army was.

"Report, General Xina's troops have been defeated, Tang bandits are attacking our army at high speed, less than three miles away!"

Three miles in front of Tianhuang Mountain, the main force of the Great Food Army was busy setting up formations, and the bad news had already reached the Central Army.

"Damn trash!"

Hearing that Modo Sina's troops were defeated so quickly, Yazid ibn Abu almost spit blood out of anger. You must know that the attacking Tang army has only [-] troops at full strength. It is said that compared with the main force of the Great Food Army, even Modo Xina's troops are slightly larger than the Tang Army, but how long has it been, and it has been defeated like this? What is more troublesome is Modo It doesn't matter if Sinah's troops are defeated, but it puts the main force of the food army in an extremely dangerous situation before they have time to line up. Yezid ibn Abu was very annoyed.

"Decree: All archers immediately step forward to hold down the formation, and all the troops attacking the mountain deploy their defenses on the spot, and they are not allowed to return to the formation without authorization!"

Annoyed, angry, at this critical moment, Yazid ibn Abu did not dare to be careless. After cursing angrily, he issued two orders in a row, clearly intending to attack the mountain. The tens of thousands of troops were treated as abandoned sons to attract the Tang army to devour them, so as to buy some time for the adjustment of the main force. Such ideas are undoubtedly good, but it is difficult to say whether it can be realized, Yezid Ibn · Abu himself is not sure, that is, a dead horse treats a living horse as a doctor.

The main force of the Great Food Army is composed of hundreds of warriors transferred from the Western Front. Although they are in a panic at this time, they are quite resolute in the execution of the general's order. As soon as the horn is sounded, all the ministries have strictly followed the order. , All of a sudden, the orders sounded one after another, forming a noisy scene.
