Linghu Chao is a person who likes gambling, and he has a very vicious vision. He will win almost every bet. At that time, he bet that the Tang people could not withstand the rebel cavalry, so he begged for surrender without hesitation and gave Yongqiu City away.
What happened next? Not only Henan Road, but also Chang'an was captured by His Majesty the Emperor of Dayan.
Even if Suiyang City was guarded by Zhang Xun, wouldn't it still be captured by the Yan army ten months later?
War is cruel, and the first factor that determines the outcome of a war is of course strength. Youzhou's cavalry is famous all over the world. Just relying on this, the Yan Empire can attack the city without any suspense and become invincible.
Although I have not gained the absolute trust of His Majesty the Emperor of Dayan, I am definitely more nourished than a Yongqiu County Magistrate.
"But now I still want to bet. I want to bet that the Tang Dynasty's crossbow machine cannot shoot all the soldiers."
"Charge over, General Linghu has ordered to charge over, those who are timid will be killed, those who are timid will be beheaded!"
The soldiers of the Military Law Corps drew out their steel knives while shouting, urging the cavalry to rush towards the other side.
Someone will always rush over!
Linghu Chao thought secretly.
"Third round, volley!" Li Kuo, however, was not affected by Linghu Chao's emotions and ordered to himself.
"The general has the order, the third row of crossbowmen come forward and prepare to fire!" Xian Yuyucheng coordinated perfectly with Li Kuo and shouted the order.
"Oops!"
¡°Hyangyang!¡±
The triggers were tapped together again, and a fine arrow net roared towards the rebel cavalry that was galloping towards them.
"Puff!" The rebel cavalry in the front row was shot through the chest and fell heavily, rolling and wailing unwillingly.
"Puff!" The soldier who stepped forward felt a pain in his throat before he could see the faces of the Tang soldiers on the other side, and he fell down in surprise.
Linghu Chao was not affected at all and ordered again: "Rush over, kill ten people and you will get a level one! Kill ten people and you will get a level one!"
The rebel cavalry formed a human shield wall and galloped forward quickly. A rider fell, and immediately a rider took his place, waving his whip fiercely.
¡°Rush over, rush over!¡±
Linghu Chao could already see the Tang general's face clearly and couldn't help but frown.
This person, why is this person so familiar?
Suddenly, Linghu Chao seemed to remember something.
Isn¡¯t this the general who the Tang Dynasty issued a notice claiming to have rebelled?
Then why is he here now?
A series of questions came out one after another, and Linghu Chao felt that his mind was buzzing, and everything was blank for a moment.
"Change the formation!" Li Kuo shouted loudly and gave the order resoundingly.
For a time, five hundred crossbowmen retreated one after another, followed by five hundred soldiers armed with long spears!
The sun hanging in the sky cast its rays of light on the silver-armored Tang Bing, making him look glorious and solemn.
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
Five hundred soldiers straightened their guns and faced the rebel cavalry galloping from the suspension bridge.
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
Five hundred soldiers formed a dense forest of steel to block any enemy who tried to cross it.
After discovering this change of formation of the Tang Dynasty, Linghu Chao was shocked and frowned. How could this happen? How could the Tang people have such a heavy armored infantry!
"Neigh!" Linghu Chao suddenly pulled the reins, and the horse let out a mournful cry and stood up.
Linghu Chao hugged the horse's belly tightly to prevent it from falling. But other riders at the front were not so lucky. Firstly, there were people behind them urging them to retreat, and secondly, they had already reached the other side!
"Enter!"
Li Kuo gave the order coldly, and the five hundred soldiers used their strength to thrust out the spears in their hands. They don't need to move too much at all. They only need to block this gap to block all the Hu soldiers.
So what if you are a Youzhou cavalry? What if you have a large number of people?
Five hundred soldiers stood on the other side of the suspension bridge, which gave people a feeling that one man was in charge and no one could open the door.
The rebel cavalry in the front row could not stop and ran head-on into the forest of guns.
The spear pierced the neck of the war horse, pierced the armor on the chest of the rebel cavalry, and penetrated the long-standing hatred. Blood gushed out along the blood hole and splashed all over the Tang Army soldiers.
The soldiers of the Jianghuai Army were notSeeing the slightest influence, they violently threw the dying rebel cavalry out, and stabbed other cavalry who wanted to follow up.
¡°Puff!¡±
¡°Puff!¡±
The spear penetrated the armor, and then tore the flesh.
More and more rebel cavalry fell in front of the forest of spears, and the piled corpses were half a man high.
"Hiss!" Seeing this situation, Linghu Chao couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
I didn¡¯t expect that the infantry and spearmen of the Tang Dynasty were so sharp!
It¡¯s just that he has no choice at this time, no matter how many soldiers he sacrifices, he has to rush over!
"Go over there, kill all the Tang bandits, and avenge your dead brothers!"
Linghu Chao unsheathed his sword and held it high to the leader to command the Yan army cavalry.
"The general has an order, kill him, rush over!"
The soldiers echoed one after another, conveying the orders of their general to the ears of every soldier.
Now is a time of life and death, there is no room for hesitation.
¡°Perhaps there were too many corpses piled up at the bridge head, which created a certain obstruction for the Tang people. When the cavalry in the rear row rushed across the suspension bridge and rushed to the river bank, the obstruction was relatively small.
The Tang people¡¯s spears were no longer as quick as before. Sometimes they even had to jump over layers of piles of carrion corpses to thrust out their spears!
Of course, the piled up corpses also blocked the attack of the rebel cavalry, and the two sides fell into hand-to-hand combat for a while.
The rebel cavalry rushed across the river bank with difficulty, raised their scimitars high, and swung them fiercely at the Tang soldiers.
"Kill, kill them all!" Linghu Chao finally crossed the suspension bridge, looked back at the rushing Cang River under the bridge, and couldn't help but take a breath. If such a position were to fall down and there would be no life left, these Tang people would be so cruel!
"Change!"
Li Kuo frowned and ordered coldly.
¡°Misso!¡±
¡°Dong dong!¡±
But after hearing a noise, the spearmen took the initiative to make way for a gap, and a group of about a hundred silver-armored infantry rushed out towards the road left for them.
Each of them holds a Zhangba Mo knife, and their eyes are as cold as ice.
When Mo Dao rises, everything will be destroyed!
There was actually a Mo Dao in the Tang Dynasty formation. Linghu Chao tightened his grip on the reins and secretly shouted in his heart.
