Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 372
"Boom—" Ye Hu, the Huihe prince of the grassland in the northeast, rushed out with a Huihe cavalry.

The about [-] Huihe cavalry who rushed to the front were all wearing iron armor. They were the Tang army who followed Guo Ziyi to fight in Hedong, killed a large number of rebels, and captured some of the rebels' iron armor.

Another [-] ordinary Huihe cavalry followed.

When they were in Luoyang, Huihe cavalry and Tubo soldiers plundered and killed the people of Luoyang, but Li Fei brazenly ordered An Dong cavalry to stop them from killing nearly ten thousand Huihe cavalry and Tubo soldiers, killing Huihe cavalry and Tubo soldiers with fear.

However, Ye Hu always believed that it was not because their Huihe cavalry were too weak, but because they were caught off guard by Li Fei's Anton cavalry and were unprepared.

Ye Hu always remembered this enmity, and with the approval of Huihe Khan of Wang Ting, he led a total of 12 Huihe cavalry to ambush Li Fei here, and wanted to leave Li Fei and nearly [-] Anton cavalry in the grassland!

Seeing that the Uighur cavalry had rushed out and a fight was inevitable, Li Fei calmly drew the horizontal knife from his waist.

"Kill!" While waiting for the Huihe cavalry to rush out, the Anton Iron Knights had already rested for a while, and Li Fei directly ordered to charge towards the Huihe cavalry.

"Kill——" the war horse neighed, and nearly 12 Anton iron cavalry killed the [-] Huihe cavalry like sharp swords.

"Kill!" Ye Hu also waved his scimitar, leading the Huihe cavalry to speed up the sprint.

The two sides approached at an extremely fast distance.A group of Huihe cavalry rushing to the front prepared to bend their bows and shoot arrows, while on the opposite side of them, a group of Anton iron knights rushing to the front also raised their divine arm crossbows.

"Fire the arrows!" Li Fei roared, and first shot the arrows from his divine arm crossbow.

"Xuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~

Occupying a longer range and stronger power, a round of arrows shot by Anton's cavalry covered the Huihe cavalry.

The Uighur cavalry were just about to bend their bows, but the arrows from the Anton Iron Knights had already rained down on them.

"Puff! Puff! Puff—" A large number of Huihe cavalrymen were shot and fell off their horses.

"Hoo! Shoo-" Because they were too late to guard against it, a large number of Huihe cavalry who were about to bend their bows and shoot arrows fell off their horses, so the rain of arrows that Huihe cavalry could shoot towards Andong's iron cavalry was very rare.

"Pfft—" Fewer than ten Anton Iron Knight soldiers were killed or injured by the arrow.

Before the two sides collided together, Anton's iron cavalry shot another round of arrows, shooting and killing a large number of Huihe cavalry again, and first overwhelmed the Huihe cavalry in terms of power.

As the distance approached within 30 meters, the Anton Iron Knights clenched the horses in their hands one after another, trying to successfully pierce a Uighur cavalry in the first encounter.

The cost of the horse lance is only lower than that of the Mo knife, and it is the best weapon for the cavalry to charge. At least the Huihe cavalry who only hold the scimitar are at an absolute disadvantage when they meet each other for the first time.

The two torrents of cavalry converged together.

"Pfft!" An Anton iron knight soldier successfully pierced the body of a Uighur cavalryman with his horse spear in the first encounter.

"Puff! Puff!" At least one-third of the Anton Iron Knights killed and wounded a Uighur cavalry at the first encounter.

From the very beginning of the battle, the Anton Iron Cavalry had the advantage of the god arm crossbow and horse lance, and the number of Uighur cavalry who were killed and fell off their horses was far more than that of the Anton Iron Cavalry.

After the charge, hand-to-hand combat at close range began, and this was the most tragic scene.

The Huihe cavalry used their ferocity when fighting other tribes, slashing with machetes.

The Anton iron knights also used their battle experience in hundreds of battles, roaring with momentum no less than that of the Huihe cavalry, or stabbing with horses, or pulling out horizontal knives to hack, to maximize the advantages of their weapons.

In addition to the advantages in weapons, Anton Iron Knights also have the advantage of steel scale armor.

Historically, the Tang cavalry has been able to rely on the advantages of weapons and armor to defeat nomadic cavalry with one enemy and three. The Anton cavalry is more sophisticated than the previous Datang cavalry weapons and armor.

Although there were 12 Huihe cavalry, and as many as 5000 of them had armor, their armor was just the ordinary iron armor captured by the rebels when they followed Guo Ziyi in the battle against Hedong.

Not to mention blocking the crossbows of Anton's cavalry and shooting them at close range, even the excellent horizontal knives and horse lances of Anton's cavalry can easily break through armor. The steel fish scale armor with strong defense on Anton's Iron Knights.

Ye Hu thought that with 12 Huihe cavalry, he would definitely be able to defeat Li Fei's nearly 12 Anton cavalry and leave Li Fei's life in the grassland, but he was obviously wrong. The [-] Huihe cavalry not only failed to highlight their absolute superiority in numbers as soon as the battle started and gained the upper hand, but were killed and injured by the Anton cavalry, and were gradually suppressed by the Anton cavalry.

"It's impossible!" Ye Hu witnessed the situation on the battlefield, and saw that he had 12 Huihe cavalry, twice the number of Anton's cavalry, but was still gradually being defeated by the powerful combat power of Anton's cavalry. He couldn't help being so angry that his eyes almost popped out. , unbelievable.

In Ye Hu's eyes, their Huihe cavalry dominated the Mobei grassland, and they were well-deserved kings of cavalry. However, with twice the number, they were still suppressed by Anton's cavalry, how could he believe it.

Ye Hu's fear was obviously more than that.

"Use the thunder!" Li Fei gave an order, and on the battlefield, some Anton iron knights took out thunderbolts from the parcels on the horse's side, and lit the fuses with fire pockets towards the place where there were many Huihe cavalry. Throw it over.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A shocking explosion, a shocking thunder only exploded two or three pieces of shrapnel, the power is limited, but the thunderous explosion sound is deafening, it is the best weapon to scare horses and animals.

With the sound of the explosion mixed with flames and thick smoke, the horses of the Huihe cavalry galloped wildly and neighing uncontrollably.

And the horses Anton's cavalry sat on had been trained by the special envoy, and even though they neighed once, they could still be controlled.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The thunderous explosions continued to sound, exacerbating the chaos of the Huihe cavalry.

Not only the horses were frightened, but it was also the first time for Ye Hu and other Huihe people to face such a blow on the battlefield. They themselves were also frightened and panicked, and their morale was frustrated.

"Kill!" The Anton iron knight soldiers took the opportunity to kill and wound the Huihe cavalry in large numbers.

Countless Huihe cavalry were killed and fell off their horses in just a short period of time, and the Huihe cavalry suffered heavy casualties.

The morale of the Anton Iron Knights was like a rainbow, and they kept chasing and killing the Huihe cavalry who lost control of their horses and ran wildly.

The Uighur cavalry retreated steadily, and in just a short time, there was a tendency to be defeated and scattered.

Ye Hu and some generals of the Huihe cavalry were ashen-faced, but at the same time they were terrified. They never expected that their 12 cavalry besieged less than [-] Anton cavalry, but they would end up in such a situation.

Faced with such a situation, no matter how unwilling Ye Hu was, he had no choice but to order the Huihe cavalry to retreat, because it would be impossible to defeat An Dong's cavalry if the battle continued.

"Withdraw!" Under Ye Hu's order, the Huihe cavalry fled deep into the grassland to the north.
