    Chapter 40 The iron hoof shakes the sky and the will is like steel

    Li Qi's cavalry on the right has already begun to charge. Different from the Uighur's more loose cavalry charge, the Anxi cavalry's attack of 30,000 cavalry is like a whole body. The black and headless cavalry formed a huge triangular charge formation, peaking.  The top is the heavy armored cavalry with a thousand men and horses in armor. These heavy armored cavalry and horses are the best war horses, and the men are selected from the most elite cavalry. They are not only superb in martial arts, but also extremely powerful, otherwise  The armor and weapons weighing dozens of kilograms can't be carried, let alone fighting on horseback.

    The charging speed of the Anxi cavalry is not fast, mainly because the heavy armored cavalry is not fast. However, facing the Tang Army infantry, which is all infantry and moves slowly, the heavy armored cavalry is like a tank. It is really terrifying. Each Anxi Army cavalry can't be separated from each other.  About half a meter, but there were no accidents such as collisions. The Anxi cavalry could maintain this distance during high-speed charging. This was an ability that was second to none among the cavalry at the time, let alone the heavily armored cavalry.  The rigor of that formation is even higher than that of the light cavalry.

    Thirty thousand cavalrymen stepped on the ground almost at the same time, jumped forward and landed at the same time. The ground trembled the moment they landed. The oncoming sharp momentum almost frightened the left-wing infantry of the Tang army in front of them. Seeing that they had already increased their speed,  When the Anxi cavalry reached the top, many of the Tang Army infantry looked pale. In such a powerful charge, the soldiers standing in the front row were almost certain to die. How could they not be afraid?

    The five thousand divine warriors in front shouted loudly, and almost at the same time they lifted flagpoles like flagpoles from the ground. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be long spears as thick as bowls. The tips of the spears were close to the gun cherry.  The chisel blade is separated by about a foot and a half to both sides, the length of the spear tip is more than half a meter, and the length of the entire spear is an astonishing about five meters. It requires two strong Shenluibing soldiers to work together to lift the entire spear.  , this kind of gun is a carbine rifle specially used to deal with cavalry. The tail of the gun is put into a pit in the ground. Suddenly, a forest of guns was erected in front of the Tang army's formation, as if all the cavalry approaching would be shot through and killed by the gun.  On the carbine.

    The infantry of the Tang Army immediately boosted their morale when they saw this extra-long cavalry gun. A military general yelled and shot all over the place.  Facing the Anxi cavalry in front, the morale of the soldiers of the Tang army had stabilized. The arrows they saw were flying towards the Anxi army, and some Tang soldiers cheered.

    Li Qi and Li Hu have different styles. Li Zuoguo's order to him is to break through the left flank of the Tang army with all his strength. He will not make any concessions. Li Hu's father Li Yuexing is not only Li Siye's cousin, but also a close general, and Li Qi's father can  It is said that he was Li Siye's domestic servant. Although he was a personal soldier, the general's personal soldiers were almost like servants at that time. Li Qi grew up with Li Zuoguo since childhood and was trained as a personal follower.  The protection was far from good, and Li Zuoguo sighed deeply that the two of them were serving as generals rather than handsome men.

    At this time, the gap between Li Qi and Li Hu was revealed. If Li Hu faced this kind of horse-rejection formation from the Tang army's infantry, Li Hu would definitely not hit him head-on. He would definitely take advantage of the Anxi cavalry's horn crossbow range advantage.  They first attacked the Tang army and then attacked the army in a roundabout way. However, Li Qi did not think of using a crossbow at all. Li Zuoguo's order was to charge into the formation, so Li Qi charged forward with 30,000 cavalry.

    Arrows were like flying locusts. The Anxi cavalry was hit by the Tang Army's crossbow arrows. Within the range and in front of the Tang Army's formation, the Tang Army's crossbow arrows could be fired three times. The armor of the Anxi Army's light cavalry also paid special attention to the defense of the upper body. Although the Tang Army's arrows were dense  , but the casualties caused were simply pitiful. Only a few unlucky Anxi cavalry were hit directly by arrows and fell off their horses. Even if they did not die, they were trampled to pieces. Some cavalry were only wounded by arrows, but they all gritted their teeth and rode.  On horseback, the cavalrymen all met their fate when large groups of cavalry charged.

    The three rounds of arrows were fired in the blink of an eye, and the Anxi cavalry arrived in front of the Tang Army's horse-rejecting spear formation without a trace of hesitation or fear. The thousand heavily armored and heavily armored horses in the lead did not stop and directly ran into the horse-repelling spear formation.

    There was an indescribable loud noise, which was the roar of cavalry or war horses when they were pierced by a huge anti-horse lance, mixed with the sound of the anti-horse lance breaking because it could not withstand the huge impact, and the sound of armor being slipped by the weapon.  There was a heart-wrenching sound, which suppressed the sound of the galloping hooves of thousands of horses.

    The casualties on the contact surface between the two sides were completely horrific. Almost all the Tang Army infantry in the first three rows were killed. They were completely trampled under their feet by the terrifying impact of the cavalry. The Tang Army's divine soldiers did not expect that the Anxi Army's cavalry and horses were not like other soldiers.  Enemies facing the horse-rejecting formation will generally slow down or stop out of fear, so that the impact speed of the entire cavalry will be completely lost. However, the Anxi Army's horses have been strictly trained, especially the horses of the heavy armored cavalry. These horses  During training, there is almost always a training partner. Every time the war horse collides with the blocking obstacle,??, can knock away obstacles, then the horse's simple mind will form a conditioned reflex of the heart, that is, it can knock away obstacles no matter what.

    In this way, the Tang Army, which had no expectation that the Anxi Army cavalry would show any signs of slowing down, ran into the horse-repelling spear formation, suffered a huge loss. No one could survive such a terrifying frontal impact, even if the Anxi heavy armored cavalry fell.  The impact force and the weight of the horses and cavalry were both astonishing. Therefore, although the five thousand divine warriors standing in the front row were wearing heavy armor, few survived.

    The losses of Anxi's heavy armored cavalry were also shocking. Not only did the more than 400 cavalry in the front row fall from their horses, but the light cavalry following behind also suffered serious losses. The horse-repelling spear formation, which was always detrimental to the cavalry's charge, was also broken.  Almost all the rifles with thick mouths disappeared in the impact. Some were directly broken, some were broken at the tip after piercing several Anxi cavalry, and some did not hit the target because of the Tang Dynasty holding the gun.  The soldiers were trampled to death and rendered useless.

    The sacrifice of the Shen Lei soldiers was not without effect. They used their lives to delay the impact of the Anxi cavalry. Otherwise, these tens of thousands of Tang army infantry would not be able to block the Anxi cavalry's piercing attack. Once the army formation was penetrated
