Shen Tang, Liu Xiangling, the iron-blooded traitor in the Southern Song Dynasty Chapter 663: Rongjing by the water, Shen Tang rushes into the formation
Chapter 663: Rongjing by the water, Shen Tang rushes into the formation
Chapter 663: By the Rongjing River, Shen Tang rushes into battle
At the same time as the war in Shiyang City begins, the war beside Rongjing Water is about to begin!
Shen Tang knew very well that the length of time this battle would end would determine the outcome of this battle.
Therefore, in the first battle, Shen Tang personally led his troops into battle.
Moreover, he led the 10,000 cavalrymen of the Jin Kingdom, the most powerful force in combat.
Naturally, their arrival had been noticed by the Tubo military camp opposite, so when Shen Tang and others formed an array, the Tubo army also moved with it, and a huge phalanx appeared in front of Shen Tang and others.
In order to besiege Xin Qiji, there were a total of 60,000 soldiers and horses here, and they were all Tibetan elites!
The commander-in-chief here, who is an old acquaintance of Shen Tang, is Suolang Wangdui who was stationed in Jiulong City!
Because of the defeat of Jiulong City, Suolang Wangdui hated the Song people to the sky! If it were not suppressed by the general, Suolang Wangdui would have led his troops to fight to the death with the Song army.
After all, he was in the right place at the right time, but instead of resisting the Song army, he returned in defeat, losing Jiulong City, affecting the attack on Fucheng, and not to mention his plan to kill Shao Hongyuan and others. The troops and horses were almost completely lost.
This battle made Suolang Wangdui lose his face!
But this time, he finally had the opportunity to lead his troops on an expedition, which was to surround and kill Xin Qiji's troops.
Xin Qiji and others have been able to persevere until now, not only because of the favorable location, but also because of Suolangwangdui!
It was precisely because Suolang Wangdui hated the Song army so much that he was in no hurry to completely kill Xin Qiji's troops.
After all, in his opinion, these nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses are already in his pocket. When he wants to eat them, it depends on his mood.
In this case, not only did he not rush to attack, but he was like a cat playing with a mouse, attacking from time to time, putting the Song army on tight alert.
Two days ago, he received news from the commander-in-chief that reinforcements from the Song Army had arrived.
Moreover, the number of reinforcements was more than 40,000.
According to the order of the commander-in-chief, Suolang Wangdui should have been stationed as much as possible instead of rushing to fight with Shen Tang and others.
After all, it only takes a few days to delay, and not only the 50,000 coalition troops from the Western Mountains and Rivers will arrive, but the commander-in-chief will also send elite troops to support Suolang Wangdui.
However, Suolang Wangdui didn’t want to wait any longer!
If he waited until everyone arrived, where would he have a chance to take revenge?
Therefore, he directly mobilized his troops and prepared to rely on his own strength to kill these tens of thousands of reinforcements.
Such is the disgrace of Xue Jiulong's battle.
He wants to prove to everyone that his position as commander-in-chief is not false at all!
"Heihan and Zhuo, we don't have time to delay this battle, so we don't have time to make other arrangements. We can only defeat the opponent directly with the most powerful force.
In this first battle, the Jin Kingdom’s cavalry will fight! At least, our momentum and majesty will be displayed in the first battle, and the opponent will be frightened!"
"I will obey your orders!"
Heihan and Zhuo shouted, "We will fight to the death!"
Shen Tang was riding on horseback, his body covered in black armor, and a spear in his hand glowed with a cold light!
"Heihan and Zhuo, Yafeng Formation! Two thousand of your personal guards will follow me, and the others will follow. Everyone does not need to fight, they can directly follow me to penetrate the opponent's formation!"
Shen Tang shouted loudly.
Hei Khan and Zhuo nodded, and then, the flags of the soldiers beside him waved, and horns soared into the sky along with the sound of war drums.
"kill!"
Shen Tang raised the spear in his hand at an angle, and suddenly caught the horse's belly. Then, sitting down, the horse rushed straight towards the opposite formation like an arrow from the string.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Behind Shen Tang, ten thousand cavalry turned into a huge arrow, followed closely behind Shen Tang, and rushed forward!
The distance between the two sides is only two thousand steps. In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides is only three or four hundred steps.
At this time, the golden soldiers on horseback took out the arrows that had been prepared long ago. With their bows like a crescent moon and arrows like pops, they shot fiercely towards the Tubo defense line!
The formations of Tubo were all composed of infantry, so they were basically similar to the infantry formations of the Song Dynasty.
First came the shield soldiers, then the spearmen, and then the archers and swordsmen!
As the two parties got closer, black arrows shrouded each other's heads like dark clouds.
In an instant, arrows rained down suddenly, and screams immediately erupted from Tubo's defense line, and some of the charging Jin cavalry were hit by arrows and fell off their horses!
This kind of offensive and defensive battle is not fancy at all, it relies on blood and courage. Of course, luck is also extremely important at this time.
The leader, Shen Tang, was extremely calm in the face of the dense rain of arrows. He held the horse's rein with one hand, and the spear in the other hand danced lightly from time to time, deflecting all the arrows that hit him!
It sounds complicated, but in fact, the distance of three to four hundred steps was trampled by the war horse in only about ten breaths of time.
Shen Tang, who was at the front, squinted his eyes and stared coldly at the opponent's defense line.
Suddenly, one of the opponent's shield soldiers was hit by an arrow and fell down. The soldiers on the side had no time to replenish their troops, and a small gap appeared in Tubo's defense line.
Shen Tang took a deep breath and couldn't help but exert strength on the horse's reins.
The horse he sat on also felt Shen Tang's murderous intention and immediately ran a little faster.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Tang arrived in front of the gap. Without stopping, Shen Tang suddenly shouted, "Kill!"
The spear thrust out, and a Tubo man who was about to put up a wooden shield was directly thrown away by the huge force. When Shen Tang mentioned the war horse, the war horse leaped forward and rushed into the Tubo army formation!
The next moment, the horses were galloping, and the enemies in front of Shen Tang had no time to react. They were either assassinated or driven away by Shen Tang's spear. They were running through the enemy's formation. For a time, no one was a partner of Shen Tang. General!
Shen Tang opened the gap, and Heihan, Zhuo and others who followed him immediately rushed into the formation along the gap.
At some point, this small gap was completely torn open, and flaws appeared in the originally tight defense!
Heihan and Zhuo followed closely behind Shen Tang, and around them were the elites of the ten thousand cavalry. They rushed into the formation, put down their bows and arrows, and drew out all their scimitars!
Under the rising sun, the bright scimitar emitted a frightening white light. The war horses passed by, the scimitar was swung, and the entire Tubo army formation instantly became chaotic!
In the camp, seeing such a fierce cavalry breaking through the formation, Suolang Wangdui was furious! If he was defeated again this time, where would he have a place in Tubo in the future?
"Kill! Surround me, commander! Interrupt their charge! If you dare to retreat, behead!"
