The armored cavalry rolled up and roared, destroying everything along the way, until they were less than a hundred feet away from the rebel center. However, the enemy general retreated in panic, widening the distance. Liu Shenli shouted that "the enemy general was defeated" and was shaken.
The morale of the rebels was quickly stabilized by Changsun Jiaqing.
At the same time, the pressure suddenly increased on the way forward, especially when countless troops voluntarily gave up the siege and gathered from all directions, trying to trap the armored cavalry.
Liu Shenli did not dare to be greedy for credit. He glanced at Ya Qi opposite him and made a decisive decision: "Brothers, follow me and kill as fast as you can!"
Waving the horse's hawthorn with one hand, controlling the horse's reins with the other hand, and clamping the horse's belly with both legs, the war horse "Herod" made a long hiss, turned its head and killed towards the left. The huge "Front Out of Form" composed of more than a thousand cavalry behind him also
Then he turned around and inserted himself diagonally into the rebel formation gathering on the left.
The men and horses were all covered with iron armor and were not afraid of being shot by bows and crossbows. The violent impact and the strong physical strength of the cavalry made it impossible for the enemy to get close. This made them almost invincible on a battlefield lacking firearms. Liu Shenli took the lead and held the horse in his hand.
He flew up and down, galloping through the rebel formation like a god of death, with no one in front of him.
Although the eldest son Jiaqing was out of danger, he saw the armored cavalry charging rampantly in his own formation, with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood everywhere he passed. He was so distressed that his beard kept curling up under his chin. This was the last fate of the eldest son's family.
Elite!
"Surround us, surround us!"
He continued to issue orders, directing the troops to surround the armored cavalry without fear of casualties.
The idea is correct. The Guanlong army surrounded them from all directions in the west. Once they surround the armored cavalry in the middle and make them lose their impact, they will definitely kill them bit by bit with huge casualties. As long as they can
Annihilating this armored cavalry would be equivalent to severely damaging the Youtun Guards. This is Fang Jun's most elite army!
However, although Liu Shenli is not famous, he has good tactical strategies. He did not ignore the hot-blooded superiors because he was trapped in the rebel formation and wanted to kill them. Instead, he was keenly aware of the rebels' intentions and decisively eliminated and "beheaded" the enemy.
The general's ambition gave up charging forward and turned to the left.
This sudden change of direction caught the rebels off guard, and they rushed into the chaotic military formation, killing their limbs and leaving corpses lying on their pillows.
After charging for a while, he suddenly turned his head and attacked behind him.
The huge "Front Lost Formation" composed of more than a thousand cavalry was like a slippery loach, charging back and forth in the tens of thousands of enemy formations, sometimes heading east and sometimes west, never allowing the rebels to surround them.
Its trapped opportunity.
The eldest son, Jiaqing, looked at this iron cavalry, which was like a scythe of a god of death, constantly harvesting the lives of his soldiers, killing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, ghosts crying and wolf howling, clutching his chest, feeling that every breath was a hundred times more difficult.
His idea of trying to surround the armored cavalry was a good idea, but now he realized that he had overlooked a problem - as long as the armored cavalry always maintains physical strength and impact, then it will be invincible on this battlefield...
How to surround?
This armored cavalry moves east to west in the military formation of tens of thousands of people. The charge route changes at any time and at any time, making Changsun Jiaqing completely unpredictable. Moreover, after the military order is issued, it takes an extremely long time for the army to execute it - Guan Long
The army's discipline is loose, its combat effectiveness is low, and its execution is too poor...
There is no way to encircle it.
Changsun Jiaqing let out a deep breath and quickly changed his tactics. He no longer insisted on encircling the opponent to death. Instead, he ordered the troops to slightly distance themselves and followed the opponent so closely. He did not seek to encircle and annihilate, but only to consume.
The armored cavalry is indeed a powerful weapon on the battlefield, almost invincible, but it also has very obvious drawbacks and shortcomings, and that is physical strength.
The armor of both men and horses brings a solid defense, and the thick iron armor allows the armored cavalry to exert a huge impact when charging. However, at the same time, the heavy iron armor also quickly consumes the physical strength of the cavalry and war horses. Even if the war horses are
Or maybe the soldiers are only a handful of people with infinite strength, but they still can't last long under such huge consumption.
Since you can't encircle and annihilate, just follow them until your physical strength is exhausted and you are naturally tired of running for your life. You can either kill them at the neck, or retreat to the Yamato Gate - then the city gate will be wide open, and you may be able to rush into the city...
Changsun Jiaqing looked at the armored cavalry on the battlefield who were rushing left and right like trapped animals but could never break into the formation to cause damage. He stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, feeling that his strategy this time was perfect.
…
Liu Shenli was indeed a little panicked at this moment.
The armored cavalry is almost invincible on the battlefield lacking firearms, but it is not truly invincible. Once it is tightly held back by the enemy as it is now, and is consumed with superior strength, sooner or later, its physical strength will be exhausted and it will fall into a tight siege - and then it will be ferocious.
Even the wild beasts cannot withstand the persistent gnawing of ants.
Retreating is not an option. At this time, the two sides are entangled. Once you retreat to Dahongmen, the enemy will follow closely. If you open the city gate and go back, the enemy will surge in and the city gate will not be protected.
It's really a dilemma...
I looked back at the towering Yamato Gate, where I could see that Paozawa was still defending the city bravely. However, because he led the cavalry to attack and contain the rebels, the defensive situation improved dramatically. It was no longer as dangerous and precarious as before.
Looking up at the rebel leader Yaqi standing in the distance, Liu Shenli suddenly thought: What is the purpose of this battle? Defend the Yamato Gate! No matter how much sacrifice you have to make, no matter how difficult the situation is,
, we must ensure that the Yamato Gate is not lost.
As long as the Yamato Gate is there, Gao Kan's tribe on the other side of Chang'an City can let go and attack Yuwen Long's tribe with all his strength. Liu Shenli has enough confidence that Gao Kan can win a complete victory. In this way, the situation in Chang'an is suddenly reversed, and the Youtun Guards
No longer the submissive and cautious situation before, it was possible to mobilize more than half of the troops to threaten the rebel camps.
Victory will dawn.
In this way, even if all five thousand people in the Yamato Gate die, it will still be worth it...
When Liu Shenli thought of this, he had a clear idea, and he knocked one of the opponent's cavalry off his horse with the horse in his hand. He turned around and shouted at Paoze: "Follow me!"
The huge "Front Missing Formation" speeded up again, heading towards the opponent's general Yaqi to kill him. Changsun Jiaqing was shocked, thinking that these guys were crazy and didn't want to live anymore? He quickly ordered the troops from all over the place to continue to surround him, and in order to ensure
It was safe and had to retreat more than a hundred feet again.
There is no other way. The armored cavalry that attacks is enough to tear apart everything in front of it. If a god blocks it, it will kill a god, and if a Buddha blocks it, it will kill a Buddha. If you are accidentally rushed into front of you by it, you will be in trouble...
Tens of thousands of rebels once again resumed their previous strategy and surrounded them from all directions, intending to hold back the armored cavalry. Liu Shenli took the lead, and Ma Shanru entered an uninhabited country and fought bravely. He saw more and more rebels.
The army gathered directly in front of them, waiting for them to plunge in and be tightly surrounded. Suddenly they turned their horses' heads and killed them towards the north.
"Front Lost Formation" quickly completed its turn and collided head-on with the northern rebels while they were still moving to encircle them.
"boom!"
The armored cavalry carried strong kinetic energy when charging, and crashed straight into the rebel formation. The rebels who were caught off guard immediately fell on their backs, howling like ghosts and wolves, and fled in panic. Liu Shenli took the lead, and the entire army was like a huge "wedge"
"Generally, they wedged themselves hard into the enemy formation and tore their formation in half. Before the rest of the enemy troops had time to react, they violently and arrogantly penetrated the enemy formation and retreated all the way north.
Only then did the enemy react, and pursued them one after another, in hot pursuit.
Changsun Jiaqing hurriedly ordered the troops to be restrained and not to pursue. For troops with both lethality and mobility, such as armored cavalry, chasing and killing was useless. The infantry could not catch up, and the light cavalry could not kill them if they caught up. Moreover, it was the most dangerous at the moment.
The most important thing is to capture the Yamato Gate and enter the Daming Palace. What if more than a thousand armored cavalry escape?
"Gather your troops and concentrate your firepower to attack the city!"
Changsun Jiaqing advanced the Chinese army more than two hundred feet and personally commanded the army to attack the city.
However, before the army could gather up, the armored cavalry who had fled north came back and killed the rebels in the north. The rebels in the north were caught off guard and were fiercely thrown into the formation. They were surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood, crying for their fathers and mothers. It was not easy to organize the army.
Resisting the charge and killing of the armored cavalry, pushing back bit by bit, the armored cavalry ran away again, entangled with the light cavalry not far away, while recovering their strength, waiting for the next charge...
