Volume 3 Taihang Mountain Chapter 857 The moment of victory or defeat

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Shimin's desperate attack, on the other hand, seemed a bit desperate.

    In an evenly matched decisive battle, both Li Shimin and Li Chongjiu are famous generals. Whoever seizes the key to victory first depends not on who is more powerful, but on who makes a mistake first.

    Li Shimin ordered the Tang Army's cavalry that was covering the infantry to retreat in advance, with the intention of protecting Li Tang's cavalry. However, he did not expect that the Zhao Army's board walls could be opened, closed, and dismantled automatically.

    After the board wall was removed, Zhao Jun's strongest armored cavalry attacked Li Tang's infantry phalanx without any hindrance.  The heavy cavalry lifted up the Tang army's formation, like a black carpet being pulled up from bottom to top.  Under the impact of the heavily armored horsemen, there was a scene of people and horses turning upside down everywhere.

    Cries for help kept coming.

    When the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty beside the trebuchets and crossbows saw that the phalanx of heavy shield soldiers had been flattened, they immediately discarded their equipment and fled backwards.  These people were picked up by the heavy cavalry that passed quickly from behind.  The war horse, covered with thirty kilograms of equipment, ran rampant through the crowd. The soldiers of Tang Dynasty were pushed away, knocked away, and trampled by the horse's hooves.

    Seeing this scene, Xu Shiji immediately shouted: "Send the order, Luo Shixin, Su Dingfang each led his light cavalry to attack, hit the two wings of the Tang army, and cover the retreat of Wugunai's cavalry."

    When the deputy general heard what Xu Shiji said, he showed an incredulous look and said: "But General, our armored cavalry are pressing down on the Tang army. Why should we withdraw Yes, General, I humbly obey orders."

    Immediately, a tinkling golden sound sounded, and Xu Shiji lowered the command flags on the left and right sides of the flag at the same time. Luo Shixin and Su Dingfang on both sides each led three thousand cavalry to attack.  Luo Shixin and Su Dingfang's cavalry were like floods that opened up, venting away, riding horses and galloping like dragons.

    Seeing Luo Shixin, Su Dingfang's cavalry attacked.  At this time, Xu Shiji whipped his horse whip, with a determined look in his eyes, and pulled out his long sword and pointed forward.  But a roar was heard.  The Zhao army's infantry phalanx began to advance, and the soldiers stamped the ground majestically.  The ground trembled slightly.

    Zhao Jun¡¯s formation is not advancing very fast, but the momentum of the 20,000 infantry advancing is like a towering mountain with strong walls crossing it.

    The moment Li Chongjiu saw Xu Shiji taking back the armored cavalry, he nodded and said to Ji Chuan and Zhang Xuansu: "Xu Shiji is really a man who knows the military."

    The two of them said together: "Your Majesty knows people well and makes good use of them. General Xu can show his talents."

    Li Chongjiu smiled and said nothing.

    There are eight infantry phalanxes of the Tang Army in front.  He was instantly crushed by Zhao Junji's armored cavalry, but Li Shimin's expression did not change. Instead, he ordered in a deep voice: "Order Sheng Yanshi, Wu Heitao will lead the Modao Army to attack Zhao Junji's armored cavalry."

    "Then order Zhai Changsun and Qiu Xinggong to lead the Xuanjia Army. After the Modao Army attacks, they will encircle it from behind and annihilate all Zhao's heavy cavalry."

    A moment later, when Li Shimin saw Zhao Jun's heavy armored cavalry retreating, he showed an angry look and shouted: "After killing for a while, I want to leave. Where is this place? Let Zhai Changsun and Qiu Xinggong intercept them for me. No matter what the cost."

    Fang Xuanling heard what Li Shimin said and quickly dissuaded him: "Your Majesty, the Zhao army has sent out cavalry on the left and right wings to meet the armored cavalry. If the Xuanjia army attacks, it is likely to be trapped by the Zhao army's light cavalry."

    Li Shimin clenched his fists and shouted: "Let Modao's army move to the left wing to form a formation to prevent Zhao's cavalry from clashing. Then order Shi Danai to lead You Yi's army to counterattack Zhao's right cavalry. Zhai Changsun. Qiu Xinggong's Xuanjia army  In the Chinese army, we will not move for the time being."

    Speaking of which.  Zhao Jun's infantry formation was approaching, but they saw a cold light in the distance.  The iron armor was shining, and the Zhao army's infantry were clad in helmets, moving against the wind, like countless flames flashing on the metal ocean. The Zhao army's infantry phalanx was approaching like an iron mountain, making it almost breathless.

    Li Shimin waved his big hand to the north and said: "Pass the order, Niu Jinda will lead the Drum Flag Army, Shi Wanbao will lead the Xuan Ge Army, Dugu Yanyun will lead the Jing Yue Army, Gongsun Wuda will lead the cavalry army, and the four generals will attack the Zhao army!"

    "No!"

    After the soldiers listened to the order, the flag of the Tang army waved.

    "The flag-drumming army advances!"

    "The Xuan Ge army advances!"

    "Jing Yue's army, don't fall behind, keep up!"

    "The cavalry officers and troops follow my general to kill the enemy!"

    For a moment, a powerful sound of treading on the ground came, and smoke billowed.  One-half of the infantry in the Tang army's formation separated from the formation and moved forward.

    On the left wing of the Tang Army's infantry formation, the Tang Army's cavalry stepped forward like thunder, covering the retreat of the infantry in front who had been routed by Zhao's armored cavalry.  Shi Danai led You Yi's army to counterattack Su Dingfang's cavalry on Zhao's right wing.

    The horses chirped and chirped, and countless iron hooves stamped on the ground, making a rumble.

      Many infantrymen couldn't bear this moment and covered their ears with their free hands.

    "kill!"

    The cavalrymen of the two armies drew their swords one after another and charged at each other with roars.  Su Dingfang's cavalry was mostly spear cavalry, while Shi Danai's was Western Turkic cavalry, mostly with scimitars.

    The cavalry of the two armies clashed, and countless war horses were overturned at this moment. The war horses that were hit by arrows looked up to the sky and neighed, knocking the cavalry off their horses.

    Zhang Xuansu and Ji Chuan were speechless when they saw such a tragic scene.

    Luo Shixin's cavalry on the left wing was unable to perform in front of the Tang army's Modao army. They just brushed against the Modao formation and moved to the flank. However, Wugunai's armored cavalry successfully responded and returned to the Chinese army's camp.

    The war drums beat.  The infantry of both armies are moving forward, and their respective crossbowmen are scattered in front of the infantry phalanx, shooting arrows at the other side's phalanx.

    While advancing, soldiers fell to the ground from time to time after being struck by arrows.

    But the soldiers of both armies didn't even look at it. The vacant positions in the formation were filled immediately.  In such a battle, the soldiers are either extremely excited or extremely numb.

    At the moment of advancing, many soldiers picked up the wine flask beside them and drank, using the wine to numb themselves.  When the beating of my heart slowed down, I raised my head and looked forward. I saw that the formation in front was like a forest of spears and a mountain of armor, and they were much closer to each other.

    "There are so many Tang troops!"

    "But the war method is always the same."

    "Then just deal with it the same way as before."

    The soldiers were chatting, and the captain on horseback kept galloping past, shouting: "Hold your position! Shoulder to shoulder! Stay close to the left and right!"

    "The gun is flat!"

    "Slow down!"

    The soldiers had resolute faces, holding long spears and looking straight ahead.  The soldiers' eyes were attracted by the enemy troops in front. They stared and remained silent. They were hit by arrows and fell down beside their companions, but they could not attract their attention for a moment.

    "kill!"

    The two armies came very close, and the silent soldiers burst into shouts. Countless gun barrels were clashing in the air, crackling, and the sound was loud.

    Li Shimin took a few steps forward on his horse and said: "Don't worry about Zhao Jun's infantry phalanx. Send the order and let Qu Tutong, Cheng Yaojin and Zhang Gongjin lead 10,000 cavalry to attack Li Chongjiu's Chinese army camp. Let Tong Yehu also  Send ten thousand cavalry and tell him that victory or defeat depends on this moment!¡±
