The first thousand and thirty-six chapters take the initiative to attack
The Khitan cavalry have always been strong, and even the Turks dare not underestimate them.
Over the years, the Khitan army has often defeated the Tang army with less, but basically never lost.
I don’t know whether Lu Xiaoxian is invincible or fearless, but he is so sure of this battle. Five hundred Luzhou regiments trained against 4,000 Khitan cavalry, and he actually wanted to wipe out the opponent. It only took half an hour. He was afraid that he would dare to think so in the world.
Seeing that Wang Haibin stopped talking, Lu Xiaoxian turned his gaze to the left wing.
The Luzhou cavalry that charged towards each other was somewhat different from the Khitan cavalry. The Khitan cavalry were waving the sabers in their hands while charging, while the Luzhou cavalry's sabers were not unsheathed on the horse's back.
In a blink of an eye, the two armies were a hundred steps away. At this time, the Luzhou cavalry began to move. They were like magic, and at some point each holding a continuous crossbow with their left and right hands.
Needless to ask, the auxiliary soldiers had already installed crossbow arrows in the continuous crossbow, and the iron arrows were shot at the galloping Khitan cavalry like locusts.
With the momentum of the fast horse, the crossbow arrows became stronger, and the Khitan cavalry caught off guard and fell down a large area.
After the crossbow arrow was shot out, the expensive continuous crossbow was thrown away by the Luzhou cavalry without hesitation. He took off the white wax and threw the gun from the horse, and nailed the gun to the Khitans with the power.
The Khitans had never seen such a cavalry. In their opinion, the cavalry of the two armies launched a charge and the final decision of the victory or defeat should be after the confrontation. It is simply incredible that they can still kill and injure the opponent during the charge.
Under the continuous attacks, more and more Khitan cavalry rushing in front fell to the ground. The cavalry behind were blocked from sight and was not clear. When they found out, they were too late to stop their horses and tripped one after another.
Being dropped from a fast-paced war horse may not be able to die for a while, but it is absolutely useless.
Since the obstacles on the ground can trip over the Khitan cavalry, they can also trip over the Luzhou cavalry. Xue Na and Wang Haibin were clearly aware of the battle. Just now, the Luzhou cavalry killed and injured the enemy in large numbers, but before they could cheer, they saw that the Luzhou cavalry were getting closer and closer to the enemy, their hearts were in their throats again.
When the Luzhou cavalry was only about twenty steps away from the same place, a miracle happened. All the Luzhou cavalry were like one person, not only turning to the right, but also being neatly shocking. It was because of this turn that the Luzhou cavalry avoided the tragedy of being tripped.
After turning, the Luzhou cavalry did not slow down, but continued to run forward from the side of the Khitans. In this way, the Luzhou cavalry and the Khitans passed by each other. Although they both surpassed each other, they had no chance to fight.
Seeing this amazing scene, not only Xue Na and Wang Haibin, but also Lu Xiaoxian breathed a sigh of relief. His solemn expression just now disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Xue Ne exclaimed: "Duke Dingguo, how did the cavalry do this?"
Lu Xiaoxian smiled and said, "If we really talk about the kung fu, the Khitans are indeed very strong. Using cavalry to deal with nomadic cavalry like the Khitan Turks, we have to find another way. They have to practice this set of fighting style every day and train for three years. Otherwise, they would not have been able to shoot two crossbows in such a short time and throw three guns."
Wang Haibin sighed: "Luzhou regiment trained cavalry suddenly turned at the high speed, which is probably even the Turkic Khitan cavalry.
It can't be done either."
Lu Xiaoxian nodded and said, "If you don't have special training, of course you can't do it. Doing this will cause great damage to the war horses. In order to do this, more than 4,000 good horses have been scrapped in three years."
Xue Na and Wang Haibin stopped talking. They knew that although Lu Xiaoxian was talking about it simply, he would definitely not know the hardships he had not experienced personally.
Lu Xiaoxian and Xue Wang were talking, but his eyes were not idle either. He found that the frontal cavalry of the Khitan was taking action, so he said seriously to Wang Haibin: "The Khitan cavalry is here to help, Wang Duwei, it's your turn to come on the field."
"Duke Ding, I'm leaving, waiting for my good news!" Wang Haibin saluted Lu Xiaoxian.
"Prince Wang!"
"What else is there!"
"Please!" Lu Xiaoxian breathed a deep breath and said sincerely, "Come back alive!"
Wang Haibin nodded heavily.
In a moment, Wang Haibin and Li Sijing rushed out of the chariot formation with more than a thousand Tang cavalrymen and headed towards the Khitan cavalry coming to support.
When Wang Haibin was dispatched, the Luzhou cavalry was already behind the left-wing Khitan cavalry. The Khitan cavalry finally stopped. They turned around to face the Luzhou cavalry that made them suffer a great loss, and they did not dare to look down on them anymore.
At this time, the Luzhou cavalry and the Khitan cavalry had just changed positions. The difference is that the Luzhou cavalry was not damaged at all, while the Khitan cavalry lost more than a thousand people.
Although the number of the Khitans was still several times that of the Luzhou cavalry, they no longer had the confidence to win. On the contrary, the Luzhou cavalry had not changed at all, like a mountain, as solid as a rock.
Before the Khitans could recover from the inexplicable failure, a commotion suddenly appeared in their rear. It turned out that the crossbows in the chariots began to fire giant arrows again.
Before, the two armies charged each other, and the Luzhou cavalry was located between the chariot formation and the Khitans, so the crossbow arrows could not be fired in the chariot formation.
Now, the cavalry on both sides have been transferred, and the Khitans gathered in the middle. They only thought about how to deal with the Luzhou cavalry, but ignored the power of the crossbow chariots in the chariot formation. At this moment, the crossbow chariot suddenly fired an arrow, which naturally exceeded the expectations of the Khitans.
Just when the Khitans were in agitation, the Luzhou cavalry took the lead in launching a charge.
The previous unique tactics of the Luzhou cavalry made the Khitans very afraid. They did not dare to charge quickly this time, so they could only fight slowly. In this way, their cavalry's advantage of rapid attack was gone.
The Luzhou cavalry did not have crossbows or spears this time. Instead, they waved their sabers in their hands like the Khitans' previous attack. They rushed faster and faster, like an arrow from the string, shooting towards the Khitans.
At the same time, the Tang army led by Wang Haibin and the Khitan who came to help also began to confront each other.
The Khitan cavalry were rescued, with about 3,000 people, but they were the most elite Khitan cavalry. They were warriors selected from the entire Khitan people and were also the attendants of Khitan King Li Duo.
This cavalry has not participated in the attack on the chariot formation for two days. Good steel must be used on the blade. If the situation was not urgent, Li Fuhuo would not send them to fight. What's more, it was not someone else who led the team to rescue, but Khitan King Li Fuhuo himself.
Li Duhuo was intimidated by the Tang army's vehicle formation head-on, and concentrated a little from the left wing to launch an attack on the vehicle formation. This was a tactic specially formulated by Li Duhuo for this attack.
this
In two days, although he lost a lot of troops, he also discovered the weakness of the Tang army's chariot formation having fewer troops and the long interval between the crossbow chariots firing giant arrows.
The first two attacks of the left-wing Khitan Army put the Tang army in danger, making Li Duhuo even more convinced that the third wave of attack would definitely completely capture the Tang army's chariot formation.
But Li Fuhuo did not expect that when the Khitan army launched the third wave of attack, the few cavalry of the Tang army dared to take the initiative to fight.
This Tang army is different from all Tang army I have seen in the past. It is not only well-equipped, but its speed and endurance are even stronger than those of the Turks and Khitans.
More importantly, although this Tang army was not large in number, it had a domineering aura of moving forward. It seemed that they were not facing powerful Khitan soldiers, but a group of mobs. It was this domineering aura that made Li Duhuo feel a little uneasy in his heart.
Sure enough, this unique team of Tang army cavalry amazed the audience as soon as they appeared.
In a short period of time, they ran quickly, and they completed the crossbow, throwing guns, and turning continuously. The whole process was like flowing, and they were just right. If these people were not enemies, Li Fuhuo would not help but cheer loudly.
In just one confrontation, not only did the third wave of attacks of the Khitans collapse, but also caused a lot of losses to the left-wing troops.
Li Fuhuo came with his most elite sergeant army in order to attack the left-wing Khitan army and completely eliminate the uneasy Tang army.
Li Fuhuo and his attendants rushed towards the Tang army, which was fighting with the left-wing Khitans, but he did not expect another Tang army to break out from the chariot formation and blocked the attendants.
Li Fuhuo could tell at a glance that this Tang army was obviously different from the previous Tang army. Not only were the equipment of war horses not on the same level, but even the temperament was completely different.
There is no doubt that these were the Tang army defeated soldiers contained in the Battle of Nantai Valley.
Li Fuhuo did not take this cavalry seriously at all. In his opinion, it only takes a moment for the attendant to eliminate this defeated general.
Soon, Li Fuhuo's servants collided with the Tang army who came to stop him. Li Fuhuo did not pay much attention to the battle in front of him, and he turned his eyes to the battlefield further away.
In his opinion, that unique Tang army cavalry was his biggest concern.
When Li Fuhuo saw the Tang army waving its sabers toward the left-wing Khitan cavalry, his heart couldn't help but tighten. He was worried that these people would do something amazing.
What surprised Li Duhuo was that this time he did not play any tricks, but rushed directly into the Khitan army on the left wing.
Seeing this scene, Li Duhuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although there were less than 3,000 Khitan cavalry left on the left, if he did not engage in conspiracy and with his real combat power, he believed that the three thousand Khitan cavalry could completely wipe out these 500 people.
But the result surprised Li Duhuo. It seemed that the Khitan cavalry were basically killed and fell to the ground. What was going on?
Li Duhuo looked at it for a while before he discovered the trick.
The Luzhou cavalry were relatively thin, but their strength was not weaker than that of the Khitan, and their killing skills were even more outstanding.
