Soldiers are the power of generals, and generals are the courage of soldiers.
Xue Rengui believed in the soldiers he had trained with his own hands and the infinitely powerful muskets. He dared to issue a military order and would rather die than retreat.
When the soldiers saw that their general was so determined, they naturally became more confident and their morale increased sharply.
"Don't turn your heels!"
"I would rather die than retreat!"
"The Tang Dynasty will win!"
…
Xue Rengui raised his hand, and the noise and noise stopped immediately.
A thunderous cry sounded in the distance, gradually turning into rolling thunder from far to near, and even the ground beneath my feet trembled slightly...
Xue Yantuo's cavalry is here!
Xue Rengui stood on his horse and shouted loudly: "Everyone, prepare to meet the enemy!"
*****
On the Chile River, more than 20,000 Xue Yantuo cavalry charged towards the Baidaokou in a chaotic manner.
Da Du was sitting upright on the horse, his face was pale and his eyes were dull.
Even if he was beaten to death, he would never have imagined that the Tang army, which originally thought they would not dare to fight Xue Yantuo without permission, not only started a war, but also had a backup plan earlier and captured Baidaokou in one fell swoop...
If he had known this earlier, he would have conquered Dingxiang City!
Although it is difficult to hold on to the city, it is better than launching a desperate charge towards the Baidaokou where the Tang army is currently defending, right?
After all, the army had just made a desperate charge towards the Tang Army's Mo Dao Formation at the foot of Wuyang Ridge. They were killed with corpses lying on their pillows and blood flowed into rivers. They still haven't come back to their senses...
Tu Midu beside him was also a little panicked, and suggested: "Second Prince, it is not a wise move to charge the Tang Army's position so hard. The Tang Army's troops are scattered, and Dingxiang City must be empty at this moment. Why don't we turn around and capture it?
To defend the city?"
Seeing the soldiers with low morale in front of him charging towards Baidaokou, Tu Midu, who always prided himself on being resourceful, panicked.
Baidaokou was captured and the road back to Mobei was cut off. Do tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo's cavalry and the Uighur cavalry under his command have to bypass the towering Yin Mountain and travel thousands of miles back to Yudujun Mountain?
It's better to just die here and avoid the suffering of traveling thousands of miles away...
Dadushu endured the pain of the arrow wound on his shoulder blade, gritted his teeth, and stared at Tumidu with his blood-red eyes: "Fart! It would have been fine if we had captured Dingxiang City while Xue Wanche was in Evil Yang Ridge.
, Looking back now, the Tang army will definitely take advantage of the situation to cover up the enemy. By then, the formation will be scattered and the army will be distracted. Do you want us all to be hunted down like dolphins and dogs?"
At this moment, he wished he could kill Tumidu with a knife!
Since arriving in Monan, this guy who is known as a resourceful man has never given him a good idea. If he had not listened to his advice, how would he have gone deep into the Tang Dynasty to hunt down the Turks? Now the Turks are hiding in
After arriving at Yanmen Pass, his army was killed to pieces, and even the white road home was blocked...
If Tumido had not been by his side all this time and were now in a desperate situation together, he would have thought that this bastard had been bribed by the Han people and came to him as a spy...
Tu Midu's cheeks twitched, and the scars on his face from being flogged by Daza became more and more painful.
Naturally, he knew in his heart that Dadu She was full of complaints against him at this moment, but who was he going to talk to when he was full of regrets?
How could I have been so confused in the first place that I believed Zhao Deyan's nonsense...
Looking back at the Uighur cavalry in disarray, I feel so distressed that I can hardly breathe.
Originally with the intention of consuming Xue Yantuo's people, they continued to encourage Dadu to go deep into the Tang Dynasty to hunt down the Turks. Who would have expected that the Tang army would not care about the overall situation of the Eastern Expedition and went to war brazenly. It seemed that they were not afraid at all of Xue Yantuo's anger.
He directly sent troops to intervene in his campaign to conquer Goguryeo.
How could it become like this?
Dadushu scolded Tumidu, and felt a rare determination in his heart.
He called the remaining Qu Shuai in front of him, looked at the faces that used to be arrogant and domineering but were now confused, gritted his teeth, and hissed: "The Tang army has blocked our way home. If we can't break through the Baidaokou
, we all have to be buried on the Chile River. Don't talk nonsense about bypassing the entire Yinshan Mountain, not to mention that the Yinshan Mountain that stretches thousands of miles cannot be bypassed at all. Will the Tang Army let us go home unscrupulously?
No! They will chase our butts, like wolves tearing apart cattle and sheep, and bite us into pieces one by one, leaving no bones left! Therefore, our only way to survive is to break through the Tang army's array.
Fight into the Baidao and return to Mobei!"
He pulled out the curled sword from his waist and pulled the reins with his injured hand. His expression was firm and his tone was decisive: "Facing the Tang army, don't have those messy thoughts. The only way to survive is to charge with all your might."
!This time, together with you, I will not flinch or evade. We will either rush out of the Baidao and return to Mobei, or we will spill blood on the battlefield and die on the spot!"
He reined in the reins and shouted: "Everyone, charge!"
With a pinch on the horse's belly, the horse neighed loudly and rushed towards the Tang army's formation.
"charge!"
"charge!"
The Xue Yantuo cavalry, who were on the verge of despair, once again burst out with high morale, shouted and brandished their weapons, followed behind Dadu She on horseback, and launched the final charge.
Live or die!
There is no other way.
Tumidu helplessly looked at the tribesmen behind him and said in a deep voice: "Put away all those dirty thoughts. Life or death depends on this battle. Use my corpse to pave the way home for you!"
"charge!"
Thousands of Huihe cavalry gathered together and followed closely behind the Xue Yantuo people.
More than 20,000 cavalrymen rose up and gathered on the flat terrain at the foot of the mountain pass while running. They gathered into a huge arrow array. Magnanimously, one horse took the lead and charged at the front. The hoofbeats were rumbling and snow foam was flying. They marched toward the front with majestic momentum.
The Tang army at the mountain pass rushed forward.
Dadu Shi was at the forefront, and the arrow sore on his shoulder blade opened again and oozed blood. The arrow cluster caught between the bones and tendons could not be removed. Every time he moved, he felt excruciating pain.
But at this moment, he didn't care, because he knew that even if he crossed the White Road and lost tens of thousands of troops, he would only face death after returning to the Khan's tent in Yudujun Mountain.
If he doesn't die, how will his father Khan explain to the tribes who sent troops to conquer the south?
Now, Dadu Shi still has the desire to die in his heart.
Since death was inevitable, how could he, as the prince of Xue Yantuo, die without dignity in the Khan's tent, in front of the tribal chiefs who were dormant under Xue Yantuo's notice?
He doesn't want to be laughed at by those dolphin-like trash!
Let this Baidaokou be your burial place!
Da Dushu gritted his teeth, disregarding life and death, and stared at the increasingly approaching Tang Army array in front of him with blood-red eyes, thinking of being the first to rush in and start a killing spree. Killing one would be enough, and killing two would be enough to earn!
Holding the knife in his hand tightly, he felt the biting cold wind blowing across his face. His eyes were firm and fearless, and then...
Um?
The moment he saw the Tang army's formation clearly, he was immediately stunned.
What formation is this?
There was no spear formation to block the cavalry, and all the Tang troops holding lances and spears squatted on the position. Behind them, all the soldiers stood upright in a neat queue.
Getting closer, I finally saw that these standing soldiers seemed to be holding something like a spear in their hands...
What's going on?
Not only Dadu Design, but also all the Xue Yantuo soldiers were a little confused.
However, this unexpected array did not slow them down. They rushed to the front with a desperate heart and had no intention of returning home alive!
They all clenched their weapons and let out various howls and roars on horseback. They were about to reach within a stone's throw of the Tang Army's position. According to the Tang Army's consistent tactics, they would release three rounds of arrows and crossbows. They were ready.
Prepare to avoid and block the arrows, just wait for the moment when you rush into the formation after passing through the arrow rain and fight with your life!
"Bang bang bang bang"
Without warning, there was a deafening sound in the Tang Army's position, followed by streams of gray smoke rising from the Tang Army's hands, instantly converging into a huge smoke screen, and then blown by the north wind from Bai Dao.
Blow away.
Before the Xueyantuo people could figure out what was going on, they heard screams one after another. Along with the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and the neighing of war horses, the entire charging array instantly became a mess.
"Bang bang bang bang"
The roar in the Tang army's formation continued, round after round, and Xue Yantuo's cavalry fell one by one like wheat being harvested by a sickle in autumn.
Dadu Shi rushed to the front, and the warriors beside him fell to the ground one after another, leaving him confused and confused!
What kind of weapon is this?!
As soon as this thought came to my mind, my chest felt as if I had been hit hard by an oncoming hammer!
A sharp pain shot through his chest, and the huge force knocked his body off the horse and fell heavily to the ground.
