The decisive battle started as scheduled at 1:00 a.m. the next day.
Since the strength of the Tang army had been thoroughly proven, Juchebishi led all his soldiers out of the city. After the opponent's piecemeal attack, he still had more than 14,000 troops in his hands, including 3,000 cavalry.
, covered with thick armor all over. He placed this housekeeping force in the center of the team. They were densely arranged into a cone-shaped attack array. A sharp cone tip, plus a short and thick cone. In the cone
The two wings of the shape are composed of spearmen and swordsmen wearing light armor. They are divided into front and rear layers according to the difference in attack range and defense strength. There is also a row of archers sandwiched in the middle, but the number is not too large.
, the bows and arrows in hand are mainly made of mulberry wood bows that are popular on both sides of the Yaosha River. They have a long range, but their lethality is somewhat unsatisfactory.
Juche Bishi had no intention of taking a defensive position, so the archers were dispensable in today's battle. Against the Mingguang armor on the Tang army's infantry, the penetrating power of bows and arrows was really poor. And for any of the warring parties,
As far as the cavalry on one side is concerned, the effective killing distance and shooting speed of the archers also make them useless. Only within 120 steps can the cavalry be threatened, and only 80 steps can the opponent be seriously injured. And the war horses run away.
After that, it takes only four fingers to cover the distance of eighty steps. During this period, a well-trained archer can only shoot three arrows without having time to aim. A less well-trained archer can shoot the second arrow steadily.
Arrows are a problem, let alone knocking the enemy off his horse.
Now that he was ready to take the initiative to attack the Tang army and quickly crush the enemy with superior strength and skillful coordination, Ju Chebishi naturally sent all his most skilled soldiers to the first echelon. The core general leading the cavalry was You.
Commander Zabier, Little Burke Aliyi and Amin each led hundreds of elites to protect Zabier. The three of them will become the front line of the entire army. The left commander Gayasi was dismissed because his martial arts skills were slightly inferior to these three.
Arranged in the second cavalry echelon, which is the vertebral part of the cavalry formation. According to Baishar's suggestion, Juchebishi's specific plan is that when Chabier and others have almost exhausted the main force of the Tang army, Gaya will
Xi led the second echelon to complete the fatal blow. Because of his calmness, little Burke Anlele was assigned by Ju Chebishi to command the infantry on the left wing. If the Tang army could withstand the attack of the two echelons of cavalry, it would not collapse.
If they were defeated, or there was a stalemate with Zabir and others, Anlele was responsible for leading the left wing to move forward and drown the opponent in the sea of people. In addition, on the right wing of the military formation, Ju Chebi Shi arranged an equal number of
Soldiers. They were specifically led by Prime Minister Baishar to intimidate other princes who came to join the war and wait for opportunities to incite the other parties to defect.
As for Juchebishi himself, he was standing on a huge chariot pulled by sixteen red horses. He was wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, and looked like a god who had fallen into the mortal world. This chariot was specially designed for him back then.
It was built for patrolling the territory and was as high as one foot and four feet. Standing on the roof of the car, you can clearly overlook the entire battlefield. Around the roof, there are several huge cowhide drums, so that he can give orders and coordinate the whole army through the sound of the drums.
Army. This car is perfect in both design and construction. The only flaw is that it is too high, which makes it very troublesome every time when going out of the city. You have to squat under the drum frame first, and wait until the car has passed the city gate.
Get up again and stand up straight.
However, this does not detract from his majesty. At least, in the eyes of his own people, his image is still very tall. Under the gaze of everyone, he raised the scimitar in his hand high, and then slowly pointed the tip of it.
The thin Tang army on the opposite side paused, as if making a silent demonstration.
The Tang army on the opposite side only had about a thousand men, and was simply divided into three square formations: the front army, the middle army, and the rear army, and a loose reserve. The front army and the middle army were all cavalry, and the rear army was all infantry.
Soldiers. Each square formation has about 400 people. Apart from the relatively neat military appearance, there is almost nothing good about it.
As for the reserve team, in Juchebishi's view, there is no difference between its existence and non-existence. The soldiers inside have various armors and the weapons in their hands are also in a mess. Obviously, these people were eliminated from the captured horse thieves, and they can only
Waving flags to the other three phalanxes does not have any combat effectiveness.
As a sign of trust in his allies, General Tang actually handed over the left and right wings to the heroes who came to help. He also did not impose any restrictions on their formation and order of battle. This made the teams on the left and right wings very messy.
, Xiduidu, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are deliberately sitting on the sidelines. The only ones who are more active are the two armies of Cao State in the east and west, but they are really inferior in terms of numbers and appeal, and they cannot do anything at all.
Role model.
Seeing this scene, Juche Bishi became more confident in winning. He swung his machete down quickly and struck a bolt of lightning in mid-air. "Kill Tang Kou!" Right Commander Zabier mobilized his mount and rushed out at the head of the horse.
Ke Aliyi and Amin followed closely, protecting both sides of him. The direct subordinates of the three people shouted the same slogans, forming a torrent behind them, the whole body was dark black, surging, as if it could swallow everything
The living creatures in front of them. After they rushed out more than a hundred steps, Gayasi, who commanded the second cavalry echelon, led his men forward slowly, adjusting the pace of the horses during the march so that they could get closer at a closer distance.
Inside, launch a new round of charge against the enemy.
As soon as the two groups of cavalry set off, the smoke kicked up by the horses' hooves covered half of the battlefield. The infantrymen on both wings raised their voices and shouted loudly, cheering for their cavalry brothers through the thick smoke.
Then he glanced behind him and glanced at Master Mu Yangren who was tied in front of the pillar of the enemy building. These two people were higher than him, so they would naturally see the situation on the battlefield more clearly than he did.
The fake Taoist priest Mu Yangren was seriously injured, with his head hanging down and dying. The little Taoist boy Liu Guan'er, on the other hand, would rather die than to have a breath. When he noticed Ju Chebishi's eyes sweeping over him, he immediately jumped to his feet and shouted, "I bet
, you will definitely not win today. Surrender quickly, before you lose all your money!"
The shouts of death on the battlefield were so loud that Juche Bishi couldn't hear what the other party was saying. But based on his intuition, he believed that it was not a blessing. He curled his lips with a sneer, put down his machete, and took it from the guard.
The drumstick hit the war drum beside him with a "dong!" sound.
"Dong dong dong dong!" "Woooooooooo!" Under the giant car, the sound of drums and horns rang together, urging the cavalry of the Dayuan Kingdom to step forward as soon as possible and cut off the enemy's heads. They were sweating profusely.
Motivated, Zabier banged the stirrups several times, squeezing the horse's physical energy to the maximum. In a battle between cavalry, speed is life. Even if you are one point faster than the enemy, the chance of cutting off the opponent's mount is doubled.
The cavalry of the Tang Army on the opposite side also began to speed up, and the formation was a bit pitiful. Chabier even doubted that the battle could be ended with just the first echelon he commanded. "It seems that General Tang will not fight at all, or he is overwhelmed by these few."
The sky was filled with successive victories." While holding the scimitar to his side to gain momentum, Zhabir laughed at the opponent's arrogance. "Conspiracy is just a conspiracy. It can succeed for a while, but it cannot succeed for a lifetime. In the face of absolute strength,
, all the tricks will be wiped out!"
Sixty steps, the distance between the two sides was only sixty steps at the moment. It seemed as if they realized that if they continued to hedge, they would die without a place to die. The Tang army on the opposite side actually began to slow down again, and tried to bear the pressure from the opposite side by getting closer to each other.
.This is almost courting death. The slower the speed, the easier it is to be knocked off the horse. Just when Chabier was secretly happy, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who had adjusted to a dense formation during the forward charge suddenly moved the weapons lying in front of them.
He raised it and aimed it firmly at the chest of the Dawan Cavalry.
"What is that?" A warning sign suddenly occurred in Zabier's heart, and he instinctively pulled back the arm holding the knife, blocking the vital parts of his chest. A thin sound of bow strings reached his ears through the earth-shattering drum sound.
Immediately, the right arm protecting him tightened, and the scimitar in his hand slowly slid across the front legs of the war horse, and was kicked into the dust by the horse's hooves.
Crossbows. Damn the Tang soldiers, they actually carried a short crossbow. No wonder they wanted to gather the team. Before Chabier had time to get angry, the enemy and we had already rushed to within thirty steps. The Tang army generals were coming towards us.
The Fubo crossbow, which could be sold for a sky-high price along the Yaosha River, was thrown away without hesitation, and he grabbed another one that had already been strung up in front of the saddle, grinning evilly, and pulled the trigger.
"Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-!" This time, the sound of the crossbow arrows entering the flesh was clearly heard by Chabier. With him as the core, the soldiers on the left and right fell off their horses in unison. In addition to the first wave of crossbow arrows,
The victims, at least 130 cavalrymen, were killed without even seeing the appearance of their opponents clearly. The entire cone-shaped attack array seemed to have been pierced with wheat awns, slightly offset from the center.
To the left, a thin gap appeared. Datang Qingqi, who was already close at hand, dropped the second Fubo crossbow with a leather rope hanging at the end, drew out his saber, and forced his way through the gap at the tip of the cone.
Come in.
A bright blade of light swept across Zabier's left shoulder, frightening him to dodge sideways. A Tang general wearing bright light armor rushed past him, without looking back, and slashed at another target with the empty blade.
.The Dawan rider who was following Chabier did not have the responsiveness of his own general. He was just stunned for a moment before he was swept across the shoulder by a sword. The sharp blade used the impact of the war horses to strike the rider.
The person's entire shoulder was removed from the body. The rider who lost the shoulder screamed and tried to cover the wound with his other hand, but blood rushed out of his fingers like a fountain, dyeing half of the mount's body red.
The unlucky rider only lasted about two breaths before he fell off his mount due to excessive blood loss. Countless horses' hooves trampled over his body, quickly ending his pain. The giant horse concentrated all its power in a very small area.
The Tang soldiers continued to swarm in along the gap made by the crossbow arrows, and chopped down the Dawan cavalry who could not react in time.
All this happened in a blink of an eye, and Chabier had no time to make any adjustments. And General Tang, who had seized the opportunity, would not give him any chance to adjust his deployment. A team of more than 400 people, with about five
Rows and waves rushed at the same position. The Dawan soldiers near the gap could not resist and fell to the ground one after another. Zabier saw his good friend, Little Burke Aliyi, being swept away by four or five horizontal knives at the same time.
In the middle, the whole person was swept into pieces. Then he saw another familiar centurion in a nightmare, being taken care of by several horizontal knives in turn. He couldn't resist and fell off his horse screaming. Followed by several more
A confidant, in order to protect him as the vanguard general, he was cut into several pieces by the Tang army who rushed over in turn. The blood splattered all over his body and face.
But this nightmare never ended. More Tang troops rushed past him. Everyone missed a hit and went straight to the next target. No one was willing to fight. The entire queue was like mercury, shooting out along the crossbow arrows.
The gap penetrated inward, penetrated, and finally, with a "click", the first echelon commanded by Chabier was torn apart, and was abruptly torn into two sections that did not belong to each other.
"Dong! Dongdong!" When the threat that was close at hand disappeared, Zabier finally heard the huge drum sound from behind again, like thunder, constantly hitting his heart. He knew that it was Juche Bishi.
She was blaming him and reprimanding him for his mistakes. But she didn't know whether she should continue to move forward or stop and reintegrate the team into one.
"Dong dong dong dong!" Another burst of angry war drums made Chabier wake up completely. He suddenly looked back and found that the Tang army that broke through his own army did not come into contact with Zuo Shuai's cavalry in the Western Division.
He turned his mount and rushed towards the position of Prime Minister Baishaer.
They used elite cavalry to attack unprepared infantry, and also used Fubo crossbows that could be reloaded on horseback. Even if Zabier thought with his toes, he could guess what kind of battle his right-wing infantry was about to suffer.
Massacre. Especially Prime Minister Bai Shaer, who did not know any martial arts at all. If he was unfortunately shot to death by the Tang people, the battle would be completely meaningless.
Not daring to hesitate any more, Zabier waved his uninjured left arm, turned the horse's head, and led the dozens of people closest to him to the right wing. "Follow the right commander, follow the right commander." Xiao Xiao
Burke Amin also discovered the despicable intention of the Tang army. He shouted loudly, led his direct subordinates, and turned around to his right wing. Many cavalrymen had no idea what the commander was going to do, but they had to turn their horses and follow him.
.Everyone was getting dizzy.
Juchebishi, who was standing on the high car and dispatching the entire army, was the one who saw the situation most clearly. Although the scene in front of him made it impossible for him to believe that a total of 1,500 riders were actually used by the Tang army for 400
People were in a mess. The first attack sequence was completely destroyed, and the entire combat team was turned into a mess with the collapse of the first attack sequence. Juche Bishi, who knew his own morale situation, knew that at this moment, the entire battle team was in a state of chaos.
According to Baishar's right wing, it was a problem to ensure that it would not be overrun by the enemy, let alone participate in the attack. And besides urging Zabier to quickly return reinforcements, he had no better solution.
In the second attack sequence, the 1,500 cavalry commanded by Zuo Shuai Gayaxi could not return for reinforcements. Otherwise, the initiative on the entire battlefield would be completely handed over to the Tang people. Once they appeared, they would be chased and beaten by more than a thousand Tang troops.
In such a situation, the heroes who are watching from the sidelines will definitely immediately add insult to injury.
"Go to hell, go to hell!" After having experienced many battles, he could tell which was lighter and which was more serious. Ju Che Bi Shi Heng made up his mind, no longer caring about his right wing, grabbed a horn and blew it, urging
The second cavalry echelon quickly launched a counterattack against the Tang family's main formation.
