Chapter 40 Bloody Battle of Ancient Cangshan (Continued)
"We can't wait any longer, the great Zhao cavalry, come and kill with me!"
Han Dang has been waiting for the Qingshan Dynasty army to reveal a weakness, so that he can take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill them.
However, Shan Qingcang already knew about the existence of Han Dang's cavalry, so the formation was not chaotic and he was very alert.
Now, the top of Gucang Mountain was in danger, and Han Dang had no choice but to rush into the formation to relieve Cheng Pu's pressure.
"Humph, are you finally ready to give up?"
Looking at the 20,000 Zhao cavalry charging out from the flanks, Shan Qingcang's eyes revealed a bloodthirsty light and he murmured in a low voice.
After learning that the Tang Dynasty had such a cavalry, Shan Qingcang prepared a battle formation to deal with the cavalry.
As soon as Han Dang's 20,000 Zhao cavalry entered the enemy's flank, they were surrounded by groups of Qingshan Dynasty soldiers holding large shields, forming a huge circle and killing the 20,000 Zhao cavalry.
The limitations are among them.
The cavalry was restricted to a certain range and could not charge with force. It was as if the horse's legs had been broken, and its combat effectiveness plummeted.
The enemy's shield array slowly compressed into the inner circle, and the archers on the outside kept firing arrows into the inner circle.
Countless arrows poured down like a downpour!
Several rounds of arrows rained down, and the Zhao cavalry suffered over a thousand losses!
Han Dang shouted that something was wrong, it was unimaginable, he impulsively put 20,000 Zhao cavalry in such danger, he regretted it!
But at this moment, it was by no means a time for regret. Han Dang made a decisive decision and shouted: "Everyone, follow me and attack one place with all your strength, trying to open a gap!"
In fact, if this were not the case, over time, all the Zhao cavalry would be killed by the enemy's bows and arrows.
It's better to take a chance and at least fight the enemy to the same point, the enemy will definitely suspend shooting with bows and arrows.
"kill!"
At the critical moment of life and death, the bloody spirit of the Zhao cavalry was completely aroused, their fighting spirit was soaring into the sky, and their murderous intent was boundless!
Han Dang is in front, taking the lead with his horse, wielding his sword and standing on his horse, he is invincible in both vertical and horizontal directions!
In a few sweeps, Han Dang opened a small gap about two feet wide.
The Da Zhao cavalry in desperate situation are more like a group of violent ferocious wolves, they are bloodthirsty, cruel and united!
For a moment, energy surged from all directions, gathered in one place, and slashed at the enemy's shield.
Soon, the enemy's shields were broken one after another!
Once the gap is opened, it is like a flood that bursts its banks and can no longer be restrained.
The Zhao cavalry were like tigers entering the flock of sheep, killing wildly, venting the anger in their hearts, and avenging Pao Ze who died in the battle!
Without the protection of the shield soldiers, the tens of thousands of archers were killed by the Zhao cavalry with almost no resistance.
"The shield soldiers are in front, the spear soldiers are behind, and the iron barrel formation is surrounding them to kill this group of cavalry!"
The name of Shan Qingcang's marshal was indeed well-earned. With an order and a prohibition, the soldiers of the Qingshan Dynasty once again formed a formation to attack.
After several rounds of outbursts, the physical strength of the Zhao cavalrymen also declined sharply.
Facing the encirclement and killing by enemy troops from all directions, the advantageous situation just opened gradually disappeared, and one after another the Zhao cavalry died of exhaustion!
Similarly, in the face of the desperate counterattack of the Great Zhao Iron Cavalry, the soldiers of the Qingshan Dynasty suffered numerous casualties. Almost every fallen Great Zhao Iron Cavalry was buried with at least two Qingshan Dynasty soldiers.
The bodies of every Da Zhao cavalry were soaked in blood, both from the enemy and from themselves. They grinned, blood overflowing, and extremely evil. It was as if the god of death had come, and no enemy soldier dared to look at them!
After several hours of bloody fighting and several hours of crazy killing, Han Dang has almost reached his limit. He was severely injured during the battle with Zhang Shanchao and has not recovered yet. Now that the battle has lasted for a long time, he is exhausted.
The consequences are undoubtedly apparent.
He gasped for air, vomited several mouthfuls of blood, and the blood in his lower abdomen continued to flow. He looked at the remaining twenty riders behind him, his eyes were red, and he was speechless and choked.
Of the 20,000 Zhao cavalry, only these 20 cavalry were defeated. How is it different from the annihilation of the entire army?
However, Shan Qingcang's heart was even more painful than his! An army of 500,000 people attacked the mountain, but now they have suffered nearly 400,000 casualties. How shocking is it?
"Kill!"
Seeing that Han Dang and others were at the end of their strength, the enemy troops rushed up crazily for military glory!
"Great Zhao cavalry, fight to the death with me!"
"Fight to the death!"
So what about the more than twenty riders? They have no fear! They died for the Tang Dynasty, and they have no regrets!
"Yi Gong, hold on, I'm here!"
At this critical moment, Huang Gai led 60,000 Tang Zuowuwei in a hurry.
Hearing that the situation in Gucang Mountain was not good, Huang Gai made a decisive decision, abandoned the defense of Cangling Mountain, and rushed with all his soldiers to relieve the siege.
Unexpectedly, he was still a step too late, and the Zhao cavalry could not be saved after all, so Cheng Pu's situation would not be very good.
The 60,000 Zuowuwei of the Tang Dynasty roared and killed the enemy with the fury of revenge.
After such a long war, the remaining Qingshan Dynasty army was reduced to a tenth of its combat power. Facing the 60,000-strong Tang Zuowuwei with raging flames, they had no power to resist!
Within a quarter of an hour, the Qingshan Dynasty army that surrounded Han Dang and others was slaughtered.
"Yi Gong, you take the remaining brothers to rest here while I go up to support Cheng Pu."
"Okay, take this."
Looking at the remaining nine Great Zhao Iron Knight soldiers behind him, Han Dang did not show any pretense. He took out a jade talisman and handed it to Huang Gai, then sat down on the spot.
The sun was setting in the west, and the setting sun was like blood. At this time, the battle on the top of the mountain had reached its final moment. Cheng Pu had already entered the position personally, and the left Wuwei of the Tang Dynasty had less than five hundred.
There are still more than 50,000 Qingshan Dynasty troops. Their individual combat power may be insufficient, but relying on their numerical advantage and continuing to charge, Cheng Pu's destruction seems to be a foregone conclusion.
The blood on Cheng Pu's armor was solidified layer after layer, but the hot blood was still appearing.
On the entire position, corpses were everywhere, piled up like mountains. Rather than saying that they were fighting on the position, it would be better to say that they were fighting in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
"De Mou, don't panic, Huang Gai is here!"
"Okay, brothers, have you heard this? The reinforcements are here! Grit your teeth and hold on!"
Huang Gai's arrival gave Cheng Pu and others hope of survival again. Each one of them was like a flashback, their combat power increased dramatically, and they caught the surrounding enemies by surprise.
And as Huang Gai's 60,000 Tang Zuowuwei entered the battlefield from behind the enemy's army, the enemy's army became even more panicked. They didn't know whether to go back and kill the enemy, or whether to continue to kill Cheng Pu and others.
Under attack from both front and rear, the enemy army had no room for resistance. After an hour, not a single soldier of the Qingshan Dynasty was left alive in the entire Gu Cang Mountain.
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai looked at each other speechlessly. The brutality of the battle and the huge damage were far beyond their expectations.
"What a bunch of trash, I have to take action personally!"
At this moment, Shan Qingcang stepped slowly in the air, with his hands behind his back, showing the demeanor of a master. His eyes were extremely cold, as if the half-million soldiers who died in the battle were just like ordinary pigs and dogs, and they were not worth mentioning.
strange.
