Chapter 224 Infantry Breaks Cavalry 【Subscription】

In the dark night, Wu Guli led three thousand Turkic cavalry to attack hard.

Three thousand cavalry rushed into the camp of [-] enemy troops. What he needed to do now was to lead the cavalry to rush through the camp, making the enemy too busy to take care of themselves and unable to line up to form a resistance.

Although Wu Guli swelled up and boasted that the Turkic cavalry was invincible in field battles, he also kept in mind Li Jing's explanation before the trip that he had to break through the enemy's camp many times!
Never let the opponent form an effective resistance!

only……

Since he rushed into the enemy's camp, he led the army back and forth four or five times. Seeing the enemy's army's morale collapsed and about to flee in the dark, a thousand-man squad formed in the chaos suddenly assembled.

Someone was shouting, and then a group of enemy soldiers in pitch-black armor gathered together and stopped in front of the Turkic cavalry.

"Give it to me! Don't stop the speed, kill them all!"

There was a cold light in Wu Guli's eyes, and he roared in a low voice, and personally led the cavalry under his command, and launched a powerful charge towards this thousand-man team with their swords on their horses.

"This group of Han people are vulnerable. Our Turkic warriors gallop across the world and are invincible. With their heads in hand, each of them rewards a beautiful maidservant from the Central Plains!"

As Wu Guli charged, he boosted morale. Sure enough, when he said this, the Turkic soldiers under his command screamed and spoke incomprehensible words as if they had been beaten to death.

They grow on horseback all year round, are good at riding and shooting, and are invincible against the Han people, especially in field battles!

When they thought about it, this group of black armored troops must be the kind that would collapse at the first touch.

After all, cavalry rushed into the crowd, such a deterrent force, ordinary soldiers could not bear it at all.

Either they will be trampled to death by the horses, or they will retreat and disperse. In short, they can't lose!
only……

When they rushed to the group of black-armored soldiers a few feet away, they found that the group of soldiers had actually taken out a rope with the help of a sliver of dawn light from the sky.

This rope is very thick and very long...

Seeing this, Wu Guli shrank his pupils, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

But the charge had arrived, and it was impossible to stop. He could only bite the bullet, leaped on horseback and charged towards the black-armored enemy army with his sword in hand.

"Spread out and pull the rope tight!"

At the same time, the commander-in-chief of the Black Armor Army shouted, and dozens of soldiers in the front row seemed to have practiced countless times...

Holding the rope, quickly spread out to the sides.

At the same time, he straightened the rope abruptly, blocking it before the horses of the Turkic cavalry.

Seeing this scene, Wu Guli wanted to grab the horse, but it was too late.

Even though he was able to pull it, the cavalry followed closely behind him like a tide, and he could only watch helplessly as the horses came up to the rope.

"pull!"

In Wu Guli's ear, came a voice that made him despair.

Immediately afterwards, the war horse was tripped, and they all fell down.

After Wu Guli fell off his horse, he quickly controlled his mount and shouted, "Don't panic! Keep getting on the horse and charge! We can still charge!"

He knew very well that as a cavalryman, after falling off his horse, he would encounter the fate of infantrymen...

They are not heavy cavalry. In order to have the effect of charging, they are all lightly armed. In addition, the Turks lack iron, and their armor is not fully equipped.

And think about the group of infantrymen in black armor just now...

He felt his scalp go numb.

The greatest weapon of cavalry is speed!

Just when he was about to mount his horse again, he saw the group of black-armored soldiers again, and pulled out machetes from behind.

At this moment, the sky is slightly bright.

He could see a cold light shining above the scimitar.

Just when he was wondering what the other party wanted to do with this weapon, the black armored soldiers told him with actions...

I saw the black armor soldiers rushing forward one by one, slashing at the legs of the fallen horses one by one.

For a moment, the war horse neighed, and the horse's blood spattered.

He was instantly dumbfounded.

"Quick! Hurry up and protect the horse! Don't get cut off by the horse's legs!"

Roaring, he ran onto his horse, grabbed the reins tightly, and began to try to organize resistance.

After hearing the order, the surrounding Turkic soldiers immediately got up from the ground, back to back, trying to stop the black armored soldiers.

It's a pity that once they fall from the horse, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. Facing the heavily armed black armor army, they will have no power to fight back.

"Don't worry about them, they're already the turtles in the urn, cut off the horse's legs first, and then deal with them!"

During the fighting on the battlefield, the commander loudly conveyed orders.

The Turks, who could understand the Central Plains dialect, shuddered immediately and looked at the enemies around them before reacting.

My current situation!
Especially Wuguli.

At this time, he no longer has the idea of ​​being invincible in the field. He only has one thought now, to get out alive!

Although he is arrogant, he also knows what the consequences will be if he falls off the horse!
Especially without the horse legs...

The speed advantage of the cavalry will be gone!
When you meet armored infantry, you can only let yourself be slaughtered!
"Quick, order, retreat!"

He glanced back at the follow-up formation of his own cavalry, because the horses in front were tripped and overturned dozens of war horses, causing the follow-up cavalry to have no time to rein in their horses, and directly bumped into them.

All in all, the situation is dire!

If he doesn't seize the opportunity to retreat again, he will almost die here!
Attacked the enemy's camp, and fell...

Giving him ten lives is not enough!

When retreating, Wu Guli was no longer as proud as before, nor did he show contempt for the Han people. In a panic, he led more than a thousand cavalry and retreated in a chaotic direction.

And nearly half of the cavalry were left in the camp by a thousand black armored troops.

"General Xu has an order! Anyone who dares to flee, beheaded! The whole army immediately rectifies the formation and prepares for the battle!"

A herald rode around the camp shouting, conveying Xu Shiji's orders.

Xu Shiji came to his senses as soon as the camp was hit. Naturally, he had prepared the thousand black-armored soldiers in iron pagodas in advance.

As early as when he sent troops to conquer the 32 states in Henan, Xu Mu had told him that he needed to guard against Turkic cavalry in this battle against Li Shimin.

Although he didn't know why Li Shimin had a relationship with the Turks, Xu Shiji still obeyed his lord's order and prepared a thick rope and a saber in the army.

The thick rope and saber are naturally a practical way to face the cavalry attack that he learned from the story of the master's art of war.

"How high is my lord's art of war? The story of art of war that I compiled casually contains such a superb art of war..." Walking out of the camp, Xu Shiji was filled with emotion.

Since ancient times, in the face of cavalry, who would have thought of using infantry to fight against it?

But in the story fabricated by the protagonist Xinkou, there is a man named Yue Fei and named Pengju who gave up the method of cavalry and cavalry fighting to the death, and used infantry plus thick ropes and sabers to restrain the cavalry!
"With this method, if the Turkic cavalry does not change in the future, it will be completely useless!"

Xu Shiji looked at the more than 1000 Turkic people who had not escaped before, sneered, waved his hand, and killed none of them, all of them were beheaded to death!

"General, this time beheaded 540 Turkic people, all of them are Turkic, not a single Han!" Afterwards, the deputy general counted the heads and came to report.

Xu Shiji took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Hang these thousand heads high outside Yiyang City, and build a capital to show the difference between China and barbarians!"

The building of the Beijing Temple has always been used against foreign invaders.

But now that the Turks have rushed into the hinterland of the Central Plains, Li Yuan may be able to cooperate with them, but Xu Shiji, who is deeply influenced by Xu Mu, cannot accept it at all.

"The world is in chaos. Li Yuan's father and son have no king and no father, but they still recognize a thief as their father! The Turks don't respect ethics, and their sons marry their fathers and wives, which is very contrary to the customs of our Central Plains. How can such a foreign race be in the same class as them?"

Xu Shiji was very contemptuous of such actions, imitating Sun Ying's style of writing, and wrote a letter to Li Shimin in Yiyang City.

In the letter, he complained that Li Yuan's father and son did not know good and evil, and for their own selfishness, they recognized a thief as their father, disregarded human relations, and were not sons of men!

……

Outside Yiyang City.

Li Shimin was stunned.

After discussing the strategy this time, he rode on his horse after the time of Mao, ready to attack with the army at any time.

But it didn't take long before the news of Wuguli's defeat came from the front line.

How many times have you charged?
Can't move?
Li Shimin's face suddenly darkened.

Not long after, Wu Guli led a thousand defeated troops and rushed back outside Yiyang City.

"King Qin, I am Turkic Wuguli, please open the city gate!"

Wu Guli yelled outside, Li Shimin walked up to the city wall with a sullen face, and looked down at Wu Guli below.

At this time, Wu Guli was no longer as vigorous as when he was on the previous expedition.

Now he has disheveled hair, his face is even covered with dirt and dirt, his clothes are torn, and he is panicked like a bereaved dog.

"Wu Guli, didn't you say earlier that the Turkic cavalry was invincible in field battles? Why did they flee back in a hurry after attacking the camp?" Li Shimin asked suppressing the anger in his heart.

Under the city gate, Wu Guli gritted his teeth tightly, and said bitterly: "I am indeed invincible in the Turkic field battle! However, the enemy army used ropes and sabers to cut off my horse's legs, and was careless for a moment, and this was the plan to defeat me!"

Li Shimin stared at him and thought for a long time before he opened the city gate and put the remaining 1000 cavalry under Wu Guli's command into the city gate.

"Your Highness, we still underestimated Sun Ying after all!"

Li Shimin turned around and heard Li Jing's sigh.

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "Why did the pharmacist say that? Sun Yingyuan is in Luoyang, and no one must know about this sneak attack..."

Li Jing shook his head and smiled wryly: "After Wu Guli set off, the last general has been observing the enemy's movements. The enemy's army was almost collapsed at the beginning. Obviously, they didn't expect my sneak attack, but..."

"It wasn't until the appearance of the 1000-strong Black Armored Army that the battle situation was stabilized. The general took advantage of the daylight to observe the [-]-strong Black Armored Army and found that they were skillful in their movements and cooperated tacitly. Obviously, this is not the first time they have practiced this! "

"This army must have rehearsed this scene countless times during its stay in Yangcheng!"

Before Li Jing finished speaking, Li Shimin's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face became more and more ugly.

"Sun Ying... has already prepared the method of breaking the cavalry?" Li Shimin looked at the army outside Yiyang City, and felt that a natural moat lay in front of him.
