"It's over." When he first saw Nan Jiyun's arrow miss, Wang Rao sighed inwardly. If you can stop the momentum of Quan Rong Qingqi, retreat to the cliff over there, and defend according to the danger, you may be able to hold on a little longer and wait for the battle to be resolved on your side. But the arrow failed and the Quanrong forces continued to be in power, which led to trouble. However, Wang rarely had time to feel sad for these people. This group of dog soldiers were not many in number, and they were clearly targeting him and his party. It seems that the killing of the Dog Rong Rangers in the past few days has angered them, and they took revenge. It was because of their carelessness that they were surrounded. At this moment, Wang Ruo's pupils suddenly shrank, because he saw the Dog The scene of an arrow falling from a horse. "Is this a fool's errand?" Nan Jiyun, who had just hit the target, lost the last bit of nervousness at this moment. He quickly drew out another arrow and opened his bow again. Another dog soldier fell down at the sound. The two dog soldiers who rushed forward fell under the horse, and the third one shrank his body into the horse's belly. Ye Chang shouted "shoot the man first, shoot the horse", but before the sound stopped, the third Quanrong's horse neighed and stood up, then fell down. Three arrows in a row hit the target. In this way, no one would think that Nan Jiyun was blind. As expected, Quanrong was more cautious, and some of them wanted to shoot at Nan Jiyun from a distance, but they chased after him one after another. Nan Jiyun used a strong bow. Every arrow came first and shot down three more people in succession. The fingers were tired and slowly returned. When Wang Jinpo's subordinates saw this scene, they cheered and their morale was greatly boosted. Wang Jinpo also stroked his beard and said in surprise: "What a great shooter." He also has people who are good at shooting. His own shooting skills are not bad, but Xiang Nan Jiyun Like this, it is unique to have all six arrows hit in a row. After Quanrong's pursuit stalled for a while, he immediately spread out to the left and right, and began to try to use his horse's speed to outflank everyone from both sides. The surroundings are all pasture and wilderness, which is convenient for them to spread out, and their horses are much stronger than those of Ye Chang and others. In just a moment, they are almost parallel to Ye Chang and others. "They know we are going to retreat over there." Gao Shi said. Ye Chang also saw it, but so what, they now relied entirely on Nan Jiyun to suppress each other, and no one else was of use. "Let's speed up, monk, can you deal with them?" He looked at Shanzhi. "Don't be afraid of people who are close to you", be honest and tell the truth. "Nan Ba, stop shooting. Anyone who uses a bow and arrow, shoot him to death. Monk, if you approach, I will leave it to you." Nan Jiyun and Shanzhi agreed in unison. Ye Chang secretly said that he was lucky. They were wearing robes, but they were lined with armor underneath. Ye Chang was cautious and half-persuaded and forced everyone to wear them. Even the monk Shanzhi also had armor under his robes. If not, Shanzhi said that he would engage in a close combat with Quan Rong, and Ye Chang was really worried. Nan Jiyun stopped shooting, and Quan Rong was immediately overjoyed. Someone tried to get closer, but found that Nan Jiyun really ignored him, so he shouted and charged. Front - A good archer can only shoot a few shots before the battle. Whether it is the fingers of the human arm or the string of the bow, it is necessary to rest, so the dog soldiers do not doubt it. Shanzhi is tall and tall. This time on the plateau, Ye Chang handed over the two best horses to him and Nan Jiyun. These two horses could barely serve as war horses. The monk got Ye Chang's order and fell to the end. The weapon in his hand was the horse spear popular in the Tang Dynasty, which was similar to a spear. The monk is not good at equestrian skills. He would rather fight on foot than on a horse, but he is not allowed to dismount at this time. Seeing that he was at the end, two dog soldiers surrounded him from left to right. The monk was not as nervous as Nan Ba ??when he first went into battle. I don't know if it was because he was nervous or because he had been assassinated more times with Ye Chang. He stabbed the faster Quan Rong among them. The Quan Rong ducked and tried to avoid it, but Ma Cha But it followed him like a shadow, penetrated directly into the opponent's chest, and picked him up. And the knife in the hand of another dog soldier has also struck in front of the monk. A ferocious smile appeared on the face of the Quan Rong. In his opinion, the sword was bound to succeed, but the monk ducked out of the way in his busy schedule. He seemed to be twisted on his horse, and then the Quan Rong felt his neck tighten and was hit by a His big hand got stuck and he was dragged straight off the horse. While it was stuck, the monk crushed his throat bone with force. The monk held one on his right hand and one on the palm of his left hand. He raised the two canines high, as if to demonstrate against the approaching people. A Quanrong who was very close behind was so frightened that he screamed and shouted "Lianhuasheng" and "Lianhuasheng" repeatedly. The monk did not know who this Lianhuasheng was. This person's reputation had recently spread to the Quanrong. , it is said that he is an eminent monk who practiced the secret method in the corpse forest cemetery, and he has magical powers that are unpredictable to ghosts and gods. Because Buddhism was not yet prominent in Quanrong at this time, some devout believers spread the reputation of Padmasambhava's magical powers among the people in order to spread Buddhism. At this time, Quan Rong was shocked when he saw the strange power displayed by Shan Zhi, thinking that this legendary monk who was afraid of even ghosts and gods had finally come here. There are also brave people who want to do it.When Shan Zhi was shot, Nan Jiyun was holding a bow beside Shan Zhi and looking at him. Anyone with a bow would be the first to shoot him down. With two arrows fired in a row, Quan Rong, the pursuer, had already been killed. For less than half, its momentum was greatly discouraged, and it was delayed and did not dare to advance. When the outflankers on both sides saw this situation, they also reined in their horses and did not dare to attack Ye Chang's retreat. "Continue to retreat." At this time, the situation stabilized, Ye Chang said again. Although Quan Rong was frightened for a while, they had a large number of people after all. Seeing that the situation was disadvantageous, the large group of horses and horses divided over a hundred horses, obviously insisting on leaving Ye Chang and others behind. But at this time, Ye Chang was no longer panicking. As long as he could retreat to the cliff, with Nan Jiyun's divine shooting and Shanzhi's strange strength, Quan Rong would have to pay a high price if he wanted to capture it. They retreated to the cliff and tied their horses to the rocks. Ye Ying, Ye Ting and others were relieved at this time. Ye Chang ordered them to move all the rocks that could be moved from the cliff. More than a hundred horse-riding dog soldiers also joined the vanguard at this time. Without waiting for a moment, they began to attack the cliff. This time they were much more cautious. Nan Jiyun fired three arrows in a row, but only hit one person. The monk caught a dog soldier who rushed up the cliff and threw it down like a stone, knocking down several people. Everyone rolled down and fell to the ground. Only then did Quanrong stop his attack. Since the frontal attack failed, Quan Rong began to circle again, trying to get to the back of the cliff. They attacked from all sides, and for a while, the situation on the cliff was a bit critical. Fortunately, the stones prepared by Ye Chang, Ye Ying, Ye Ting and others came in handy. After more than ten people were knocked down, Quan Rong Had to back off again. They dragged the wounded away, leaving only the dead in front of the battle. Ye Chang estimated that, including the enemies killed when retreating, nearly 20 Quanrong people had died so far. "Will Quanrong attack again?" Cen Shen said nervously. Among them, he is the youngest except for Ye Chang. He is only over 20 years old, and it is his first time in battle. He is not like Ye Chang who has been assassinated several times. Being able to survive to this point has already made Ye Chang Very admired. "If nothing else happens, they will attack again after a little reorganization. After all, Quanrong has more people. Nearly twenty people died, less than half, and their fighting spirit will not be shaken" Recalling the discussion of ancient armies in later generations, Ye Chang commented. "Eleven Lang's intention is that if there is half a percent, the fighting spirit will be shaken?" "If there is half a percent, the morale of the soldiers will be unstable. If it exceeds 15%, the soldiers will shrink back in fear or even collapse. So half a percent is a hurdle. , If it is not a decisive battle, before the casualties reach half, we should find a way to stabilize the morale of the army and prepare to retreat if necessary. "Ye Chang looked into the distance and thought of something: "In today's world, perhaps only our Datang frontier army can bear it. More than 15% of the casualties." Before he could finish his words, a thunderous cry suddenly came from the other side, but it was Wang Nan who moved. Although Quan Rong sent a small force to besiege Ye Chang, they did not relax the siege of Wang Ruo. Therefore, when Quan Rong attacked the cliff, Wang Ruo did not make any movement, neither support nor response. But by this time, Quanrong was demoralized because of the setback in his attack, and Wang rarely saw an opportunity. After giving the order, the whole army roared angrily, and all the swords, spears, and horses that had been placed were raised. Under the sunshine on the plateau, the blades were as sharp as snow and the armor was as white as frost. After they roared angrily, they suddenly fell silent and then stepped forward. There were only two hundred people, and only half of the two hundred people actually moved. However, Ye Chang had a feeling when he saw this step taken in the distance. The mountains are moving. This is a moving mountain. At this time, Wang rarely knew the timing very well. Originally, Quan Rong was extremely wary of his side, but the setback on the other side slightly distracted Quan Rong's attention, and his general was also hesitant. , should we continue to divide our troops to support that side and massacre the small group of Tang people on the cliff, or should we go all out to attack the main force of the Tang people here. The Quanrong were all nomadic people, and not only the general hesitated, but the soldiers also hesitated, so their formations spread out, with some preparing to go over to support, while others turned to look around, although most of their attention was still on Wang Nan's troops. But after all, I was distracted. At this time, Wang Nan's troops began to advance with a roar, and one can imagine the shock to them. In the border conflict, because the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had strong armor and sharp swords, the Quanrong people, who mostly wore light armor, could only rely on their numerical advantage and the geographical environment of the plateau to compete with them. They were already somewhat inferior to the Tang army. Fear, and the setback just now made them lose all their energy. Therefore, as soon as this shock came, their positions were immediately in chaos. The king rarely missed this opportunity. He ordered again: "Ride". The cavalry on both wings began to advance forward, and in the middle of the cavalry, the crossbowmen moved forward. The direction they chose to attack was not to join Ye Chang's side, but to the Chinese army where the enemy's flag was. The moment the two sides fired arrows at each other, the infantry who were originally just advancing step by step suddenly accelerated their pace - they were It's impossible to charge long distances due to armor, but it's still possible to charge for dozens of steps. Ye Chang saw this scene on the high cliff and suddenlyHold your breath. This is a real war between ancient armies. It is like two pieces of steel hitting each other. After a muffled sound, the two armies hit one place. No, bumping into one place is not an accurate description. Ye Chang felt that it was more like a huge ship squeezing a small fishing boat. The smaller Tang Army was the ship, while the larger Quan Rong was the small fishing boat. The ship squeezed hard into the small fishing boat and pushed the small fishing boat back continuously. However, the ship was not ready to let go. It still kept thrusting and tearing. After the small fishing boat was torn into two pieces, it began to turn slightly to the right. Continue to expand the other party's wounds. The fighting only lasted for fifteen minutes in another life at most, maybe even shorter. The fierce dog soldiers had already dispersed and fled. On the ground were more than fifty abandoned corpses, as well as flags and weapons. Most of the ownerless horses fled, leaving only a dozen or so horses still wandering on the battlefield, waiting for their masters who could no longer get up. "Thisthis is not scientific" Ye Chang murmured. In his impression, shouldn¡¯t the cavalry have an absolute advantage over the infantry? Whether it was the movies he had watched, the literary works he had seen, or even those video games, when cavalry met infantry, it was called horseback riding and slashing But now, why did it become hacking and riding? Indeed, the Mo Dao in the hands of the Tang Army was not used to stop horses but to cut people, which was beyond Ye Chang's expectation. In most cases, the bows and arrows of the Quanrong people could not break through the Mingguang Armor on the Tang Army, which was also beyond Ye Chang's expectation. ;The opponent gave up the cavalry attack and did not attack the Tang army's formation immediately, but chose to fight in formation. This was still beyond Ye Chang's expectation - but so many surprises were nothing compared to seeing thousands of cavalry and dog soldiers being chased by two hundred Tang troops. You will be surprised if you cry for your father or mother. However, Ye Chang soon figured it out. The so-called cavalry restrains infantry is just nonsense from people who have ulterior motives in trying to create wolf totems. Each cavalry has its own advantages and disadvantages, not to mention that the Central Plains infantry equipped with iron armor with strong productivity is the natural enemy of the cavalry wearing leather armor. In another life, the Tartars, who promoted cavalry and archery, mainly relied on armored soldiers in actual battles. The biggest advantage of cavalry over infantry is that if they win, they can completely annihilate their opponents, and if they lose, they can escape with minor injuries. This is a strategic advantage, not a tactical advantage on the battlefield. For example, in the battle in front of him, the Tang army, wearing iron armor and wielding steel knives, slaughtered the canine warriors like dogs. However, the canine warriors only suffered dozens of casualties, so they immediately fled, and when they were far away, they reorganized their formations. Ready to come again. However, the generals of the Tang army were probably very familiar with Quanrong's fighting methods, so they were not in a hurry to clean up the battlefield, but formed their formations again. Quanrong, who had escaped about half a mile, gathered his troops, looked back, paused for a moment, and then started to turn away. "Good" Tang Jun and Ye Chang cheered. In the long history of war between Datang and Quanrong, this was just an inconspicuous border conflict, but victory was something everyone liked, even if it seemed a little small. Ye Chang breathed a sigh of relief, and then he heard the same voice coming from beside him. He turned around and saw that Gao Shi met his eyes, and the two smiled at each other. Li Bai and Cen Shen, on the other hand, were more nervous just now, but now they have begun to recite poems. Gao Shi quickly joined them, but Ye Chang had other things to do. There were several ownerless horses underneath, as well as injured dog soldiers who had not been taken away. Ye Chang winked at Shanzhi and Nan Jiyun, and then said to Ye Ying and Ye Ting: "Go down, there are some dogs that are still alive." "Rong, you go and get stabbed." "Huh?" Everyone was confused. "If they had rushed up just now, they would not have hesitated to give us a blow." Ye Changsurong said: "In the future, we will stay here for a while, and we will have to fight with the Quanrong. If anyone can't kill us, we will I will sacrifice my life to the Quanrong." After giving the instructions, he headed towards the Tang army alone. This Heyuan military envoy has quite a military strategy and is worth making friends with. At least in front of this army, the stronger his companions are, the greater his safety will be.
