Chapter 2042 The well-defended Tang Army

"No!"

The surrounding soldiers raised their arms in a daze, and their morale increased sharply!

The people living on the grasslands have struggled with the most difficult living environment since the day they were born. They have a stubborn character and a strong will, and they are most brave and fierce.

The closer you are to the desperate situation, the more bravery and cruelty you can inspire in your blood!

They are born to be the bravest warriors!

Dadu She was also infected by the high morale of his soldiers. All the regrets and fears in his heart were thrown away. He pointed his scimitar at the formation of the Tang army at the foot of the mountain and roared: "Xue Yantuo's warriors, follow me to kill the enemy and break through the enemy's formation." , I will take you home!”

After saying that, he clamped his horse's belly, waved the scimitar in his hand and took the lead, rushing towards the foot of the ridge.

"Woo!"

"Ouch——"

Xue Yantuo's soldiers were as excited as chicken blood, roaring like wild beasts, followed closely behind Da Du, and charged towards the Tang army array at the foot of the ridge! For a moment, thousands of horses galloped, shaking the earth and the earth. All the ice and snow foam on the mountains were crushed by the horses' hooves and flew up. The sound was terrifying, like an avalanche!

Under the mountains.

In the Tang army formation, Li Siwen, Zhang Xiangxiang, Qu Tuquan and others who had truly stepped onto the battlefield for the first time were frightened by the overwhelming and overwhelming charge of Xue Yantuo's cavalry. The general sound of hoofbeats seems to be beating the heart constantly, making people look pale and breathless.

In front of the two armies, there are thousands of horses and thousands of troops. It cannot be resisted by the bravery of one person.

Xue Wanche's majestic body was riding on the horse, watching the aristocratic family members on the left and right, all of whom were white-faced and fighting. He grinned, but he didn't laugh at it: "You know how cruel war is today, right? Then there is the brave crown. The peerless generals of the three armies, in this battle formation of thousands of troops and horses, are just a wave in the vast ocean... Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, we have gone through countless bloody battles. The bandits were wiped out, and all the surrounding barbarians were subdued. It was not just words, but the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who fought them with swords and guns! Above the court, all the prime ministers and ministers were able to bring peace to the world with their pens, and they were able to mount their horses. It is the tradition of the Tang Dynasty to determine the universe and the generals and prime ministers. You, the sons of aristocratic families, should also practice a lot. Don’t talk about being invincible but wet your pants when you go to the battlefield!”

Li Siwen licked his lips and said with a wry smile: "Commander, the general has always been proud of his courage. Has he ever served in the army? But today, when he faced these thousands of troops and charged to the death for the first time, he realized that he was really a frog in the well in the past. It's shameful. No place left!”

This person is usually the most arrogant, thinking that he just lacks an opportunity, so he is not as good as his father who was granted lordships and generals. If one day he could lead an army to win decisive battles on the battlefield, he would still be able to make great achievements and not let his father's generation be the preeminent one.

But now facing Xue Yantuo's violent charge, I realized how naive I was in the past.

His Majesty Li Er held three thousand against one hundred thousand in Hulao, and Li Jing led an army thousands of miles to raid the Turkic tent in Yinshan. He is the true hero of the world!

Xue Wanche burst out laughing. Xue Yantuo's cavalry, who was like an avalanche of mountains in front of him, seemed not to pay attention at all. He said loudly: "On the battle formation, the most evil thing is. Among thousands of troops, you can't live without fear of death." , if you go forward bravely and disregard life and death, your luck will be enhanced by the gods and ghosts, and the swords, guns, swords and halberds will hide from you. If you are trembling and greedy for life and fear of death, the enemy's swords and arrows will It's going to kill you! If you extend your head, it's still a knife. As a man of the Han family, you defend your country and kill the barbarians. Why don't you straighten your chest and face death? A bite of barbarian flesh and blood, nine levels of meritorious deeds, the battle report is sent to your home, your wife and parents are in love, let your neighbors be proud of you, and your sons and daughters be proud of you!”

The general with thick eyebrows and curly beard is full of heroic spirit, and his aura of looking down on the world spreads everywhere, and all the soldiers around him are exaggerated by it!

"Boom!"

There was an earth-shaking loud noise, but Xue Yantuo's front line had already slammed into the front of the Tang army's formation.

At the same time, the crossbowmen in the Tang army's rear formation drew their bows and arrows, and shot the arrows like water splashing at Xue Yantuo's soldiers who had gathered together to charge.

Regarding the Tang Army's anti-horse and spear formation, neither the Turks back then nor Xue Yantuo today had a good solution. The Hu tribe are all cavalry and have strong maneuverability, but the Tang army's horse or spear formations will be followed by a large number of crossbowmen. Once they want to move forward to move the horse or cruise to the flanks to attack the spear formation, they will be attacked. to the crossbowmen's wild shooting.

The Tang army's crossbows were excellent and had a long range, and the triangular arrow clusters of the arrows were extremely sharp. The Hu tribe's leather armor could not stop them.

Therefore, if you want to break the Tang army's resistance to horse and gun formations, you can only use head-on confrontation, with the cavalry fighting hard regardless of casualties. As long as they are dispersed, a large number of infantry can only become the prey of the cavalry, and victory is easy.

However, it is not easy to break up the Tang army's horse and gun array.

The arrows falling from the sky were like heavy rain and snow, and the sound of "Puff, Puff, Puff" as the arrows penetrated into the body was a continuous sound. Even in the screaming military formation, it was clearly clear and terrifying.

Xue Yantuo's retreat was cut off, which aroused the strongest desire to survive. Even if his body was pierced by the Juma, even if the arrows penetrated his flesh and blood, he still launched a desperate charge without fear of death. The front line fell in front of the Juma spear formation, and the rear The formation then trampled on the corpses in the front formation and continued to charge without stopping!

This extremely tragic situation made several first-time soldiers on the battlefield feel numb all over, their legs were fighting, and they were covered in cold sweat.

They are all pampered sons of aristocratic families. How have they ever seen such a scene that looks like a hell on earth and a mill of flesh and blood?

……

The height of the horse is constant, and a wooden stake or a spear tip tied to the wooden stake is cut in front, aiming at the position near the neck of the enemy's war horse. If it is low, the enemy can ride over and directly into our formation; if it is high, it cannot cause much damage to the enemy.

When the corpses of Xueyantuo warriors and horses were piled higher and higher in front of the Juma, and the dense corpses filled the gaps between the rows of Juma, the Xue Yantuo cavalry in the rear could finally trample on the corpses of their comrade Paoze, climb over the Juma, and charge forward. Enter the Tang army array.

This time, what blocked the enemy was a spear array composed of spears.

The spear array composed of rows of sharp spears is as solid as a rock. Each side has a shield holding a shield to resist the flying arrows. The entire array is impregnable!

Compared with what the Eastern Turks learned from the Han people, how different is it from them?

The people of Xue Yantuo still have no way to deal with the spear array. They are still doing the same thing, using men and horses to fill it...

So, the Xueyantuo people used the corpses of warriors and horses to fill in step by step, hoping to fill out a way home.

However, more soldiers fell on this road, with no hope of returning home...

The Xueyantuo people also became ruthless. If they were blocked by the Tang army on the Evil Sun Ridge, the only outcome waiting for them would be to be gradually eroded, and they would either surrender or die, and the entire army would be wiped out.

From noon until dark, the Xueyantuo people charged desperately without fear of death. The corpses of people and horses covered the road leading to the foot of the mountain, and finally entered the Tang army's array!

Xue Wanche sat on his horse with his helmet on his head and his armor, watching the battle.

Zhang Xiangxiang said anxiously beside him: "Commander, do you want us to lead our troops to charge forward? If we let the Xue Yantuo people charge like this again, I'm afraid the formation will be driven away by him!"

Xue Wanche remained motionless and said disdainfully: "If it were a field battle on the grassland, it would be impossible to keep this Xue Yantuo man, but if the Xue Yantuo men want to defeat the Youwuwei array here, such a small price is not enough!"

Li Siwen was also a little anxious, and when he was about to persuade, he saw the gun array in front of them suddenly spread out, and the shield bearers moved quickly to both sides of the array, leaving the rear array directly in the path of the Xue Yantuo people's charge.

Xue Yantuo's cavalry, who was charging desperately, felt a sudden looseness in front of them, and was overjoyed. He howled and thought about the Tang army's rear formation and rushed towards it.

In their opinion, without the spear formation, the cavalry would have no natural enemies, and even the elite infantry would be crushed like ants under the charge of thousands of troops!

However, they forgot that the Tang Army's best weapon against the Hu people's cavalry was not just the spear array...

The moment Xue Yantuo's cavalry rushed to the Tang Army's rear formation, they saw rows of swords flying in the Tang Army's array. The bright long swords stood up like a forest, and the swords lighted like a wall.

"Ha!"

With an earth-shattering roar, countless long knives were swung diagonally towards the charging Xue Yantuo's horse. Thousands of people moved in unison, and the bright light was like a sun rising from the ground, dazzling with flowers and murderous intent.

Dozens of Xue Yantuo's cavalry were instantly chopped off their horses.

Then, this Tang army advanced instead of retreating. Their tall bodies were covered with thick iron armor and their steps were firm. Every time you swung the long knife in your hand, Xue Yantuo's cavalry would howl and tear apart, and they would fall to death on the spot.

The Tang army regarded the Xue Yantuo cavalry in front of them as nothing, and advanced like a wall, destroying both men and horses. Mo Dao Formation!
