Qibi Ke reined in the horse's head and shouted sternly: "Dismount! Get into formation!"
Xue Yantuo's soldiers who came later dismounted their horses and slowly formed a formation on the frozen river bed.
Qibinkel was riding on his horse, looking at the array that was gradually becoming more orderly, with a glimmer of hope in his heart.
The spear array of the Tang Dynasty was too lethal to the Hu cavalry. Although due to the lack of maneuverability, it could only be beaten passively when facing the Hu cavalry, but similarly, the Hu cavalry was very vulnerable to the Hu cavalry who shrank like a hedgehog.
The tactics of war are also impossible to describe.
He planned to use the Tang Army's best infantry formation tactics to deal with the Tang Army's cavalry...
He is not afraid of the mysterious weapon that the Tang Army used to blow up the city wall. Xueyantuo people are not fools who just stand there and wait for you to blow it up. He is only afraid of the courgette-like thing that the Tang Army ignited in their hands and then continued to bombard them everywhere...
The sound and smoke were no less than fierce tiger beasts to the Xueyantuo people's war horses, which were enough to frighten the horses into running around and lose control, leading to a complete defeat.
We don't expect to defeat the Tang army, as long as we can slow down the speed of their surprise attack so that Yu Governor's army can have enough time to set up their Shanya tent.
Qibi Kele looked around, feeling sad in his heart.
He knew that after this battle, half of the soldiers here would be lost, and the rest would have to escape the Tang army's pursuit. How could there be a way to survive on this icy and snowy moraine?
What is particularly important is that the Tang army cannot be led to Ba Yegu, Pugu and other tribes...
They didn't even have to wait for the Tang army to kill all the soldiers, they only had to wait until the horses were eaten, and they would die of hunger on the big moraine.
From the moment he reined in his horse and formed a formation on the spot to block the attack, the elite soldiers guarding Wuchuan Town were doomed to a tragic fate.
The sound of hooves rumbled in the distance.
The Tang army in black and red armor suddenly jumped into view in the wind and snow, the crimson flag flew fiercely in the wind, and thousands of horses and troops came galloping forward with great momentum!
Even the ice on the Nuozhen River bed beneath my feet was trembling slightly.
Qibi Kele stood on the river embankment on the north bank, drew out the saber from his waist, raised his arms and shouted: "We cannot let the Tang army march straight in and attack the tent of Yu Dujun Mountain, where are our wives, children, family members, cattle and sheep of our tribe!"
We will form an array here and use the blood and courage of our Xue Yantuo warriors to stop the Tang army's advance and drive them back to Monan!"
"Hurry back to Monan!"
"Hurry back to Monan!"
The soldiers all around raised their arms and shouted, their sluggish morale finally improved a little, and they were still able to fight.
Qibi Kele breathed a sigh of relief. If his morale was still as low as when he fled just now, he might not be able to stop the Tang army from charging...
*****
Xue Rengui took the lead and rode at the forefront of the army.
The biting north wind mixed with snowflakes rushed towards my face, hitting my face like a knife cutting me.
But he didn't feel the slightest bit of coldness. The boiling blood in his chest made him full of fighting spirit and made his whole body feel hot!
In the past, I have exterminated pirates in the navy, and even fought against bandits in the South China Sea. However, as the most traditional soldier, now riding his horse and whip to chase the North, this is the longing that penetrates deep in his bones!
Wrapped in horse leather, it has found its place!
For all the sons of the Han family, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in the past, and Li Jing and Li Ji today, are their most admired idols. Breaking through the Yin Mountains and heading straight to the Dragon City is the life they dreamed of when they were young.
.
Confining the wolf to stay in Xu and restraining Shi Yanran are the supreme achievements of generations of Han soldiers!
If you can ride your horse across the northern frontier and whip your way to the Dragon City in your lifetime, what's the harm if you die?!
What's more, the battle went smoothly. As soon as they came out of the White Road, they captured Wuchuan Town, which was guarding the gateway to Mobei, with no bloodshed, and the horse did not turn on its heel, chasing the footsteps of the Xue Yantuo people and rushing all the way to Yudujun Mountain!
Unparalleled achievements are right in front of you, who can't help but be excited and eager to fight?
The Xue Yantuo people in front actually didn’t run away...
Xue Rengui was cautious in nature. He opened his hand to signal the whole army to slow down, and slowly approached the Nuozhenshui River. When he got close, he saw Xue Yantuo's people lined up in a neat array, with sword, shield, and spearmen standing like a forest. The entire army
Zhen was so murderous that he was not only a little confused.
Is this the intention to use the Tang Army's infantry array to fight against the Tang Army's cavalry?
Xue Rengui not only smiled.
If it had been any other time, perhaps the cavalry would have been helpless against such a tight infantry array that was not afraid of impact. After all, the commander-in-chief ordered that the soldiers be extremely fast and not give the Xue Yantuo people any time to react. They had to catch up with their scouts.
When he returned to Yudujun Mountain to report the news and failed to respond, he was severely beaten and his acupoints were swept with thunder!
This means that the vanguard troops led by Xue Rengui must push forward all the way. No matter how many people are blocking the way, they must be completely crushed with overwhelming momentum and defeated in one fell swoop!
To be honest, it's hard.
After all, this is Xue Yantuo's territory. They occupy the favorable location and the people, so they must do everything possible to obstruct it and slow down the Tang army's advance.
But now...
Xue Rengui showed a cruel smile and said loudly: "The musketeers dismount, the sword and shield hands are in front, and we fight!"
"promise!"
The soldiers of the Tang Army jumped off their horses one after another and quickly completed the formation. Each one was full of fighting spirit and their morale soared!
It would indeed take a lot of effort to use cavalry to defeat the infantry array of Xue Yantuo's army. Not only would there be heavy casualties, but it would also take a lot of time.
Facing the hedgehog-like infantry array, we can only chew them down layer by layer, but cannot defeat them in one fell swoop.
But now with the Musketeers...
Under the cover of the sword and shield men, the musketeers lined up in front of the two armies, and then listened to the sound of horns from behind and slowly advanced with uniform steps.
When we reached the river embankment, the terrain was somewhat condescending, and the enemy was completely within shooting range. The flag officer waved the small red flag in his hand and shouted: "Let go!"
"Bang bang bang"
Explosions resounded across the open fields, followed by puffs of smoke that were quickly blown away by the raging north wind.
The sound of gunfire was transmitted to Xue Yantuo's formation, because they were all arrayed on the river bed, and the river banks on both sides were slightly higher, forming a relatively closed environment, causing the sound of gunfire to vibrate and transmit within this range, forming an echo.
The gunshots filled with unknown and fear seemed to be ringing in the ears. Xue Yantuo's soldiers were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were fighting.
"Puff puff puff"
The lead bullets carried the huge kinetic energy caused by the explosive explosion of gunpowder, easily breaking through the leather armor of Xue Yantuo's soldiers on the mountain, and piercing into their bones, flesh and blood. Flowers of blood kept splashing on their bodies, as if they were in hell.
The poignant and terrifying flower of the other side.
Charming and desperate.
Rows and rows of Xueyantuo cavalry fell like autumn wheat under the musket fire.
Qibi Kele stood on the north bank of the river embankment, watching the Xueyantuo people on the river bed being hunted by the Tang army like dolphins and dogs, but they had no power to fight back, and his eyes suddenly burst into tears!
He knew that the new weapons of the Tang Army were extremely powerful. Previously in Wuchuan Town, he cooperated with Mo Dao Shou to kill Xue Yantuo's army and made them flee in confusion. They were extremely powerful and had an extremely long range.
But I never thought that when these weapons are unified and used in an array, their power can be more than doubled!
The lead bullets shot out of the iron pipe were as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder, overwhelming the sky and forming an airtight barrage, leaving no trace of the enemy on the battlefield.
What kind of weapon is this?
There is also the mysterious weapon that can crack mountains and rocks and collapse the city wall in front of it in an instant...
Could it be that the gods have abandoned the Tiele people and protected the Han people to massacre the Tiele people?
The Han people have such magical weapons, and the grasslands are vast and the moraine is vast, but where can there be a place for the Tiele people?
Are they going to be like the Western Turks, who abandoned the playground where their ancestors had lived for generations and fled thousands of miles to the deserts of the Western Regions?
The gunfire continued.
Countless lead bullets penetrated the wind and snow and shot into the bodies of Xue Yantuo soldiers, causing Xue Yantuo soldiers to fall one by one.
The blood melted the snow on the river bed, and then was frozen by the biting north wind, showing a strange and alluring crimson color.
At first, the Xue Yantuo people could still stare at the rain of bullets and try to charge, but they collapsed instantly after advancing only less than ten feet and leaving behind a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
No matter how powerful the army is, it cannot maintain its fighting morale in the face of this kind of massacre caused by the absolute crushing of unilateral forces.
It's natural to collapse.
Countless Xue Yantuo soldiers broke up and fled in all directions like a flock of sheep frightened by a tiger.
The wide riverbed was full of fleeing Xue Yantuo soldiers, but the Tang army marched in like a wall, the muskets in their hands kept loading, firing, loading, firing... At the same time, Xue Rengui had already led the cavalry from not far away.
The low river embankment broke into the river bed, and they began to pursue Xue Yantuo who collapsed.
Chibikole's majestic body on the north bank swayed on his horse, and his face turned pale.
He expected defeat, but never thought it would be so complete.
What made him particularly desperate was that once the Tang army, armed with such magical weapons, raided the tent at Yu Dujun Mountain, what would the Xueyantuo people do to resist?
Is it possible that Xue Yantuo, who once dominated Mobei, would repeat the mistakes of the Turks after replacing the Eastern Turks as the overlord of the grassland for only ten or twenty years, and either surrender and become a puppet of the Tang people, or flee westward and flee to the Western Regions?
