Chapter 351: Destroying the Enemy (2)

A black line appeared in the distance, and the sound of horses' hooves rolled like thunder, and the earth began to tremble slightly.

The battle flags of the generals of the Daizhou Army gradually became clear.

The military formation of the Don Army has not yet taken shape.

This time to go north to Yanmen, the Tang army's preparations were not sufficient, but it would be the Daizhou cavalry that they would face, and they still brought big shields and spears.

But they repeated the mistake of the Youzhou army being raided by the Daizhou cavalry, and encountered the Daizhou cavalry in the spacious and flat field.

And they are even worse than the Youzhou army, before the Youzhou elite was raided, they also set up two columns of shield walls, which caused damage to the Daizhou cavalry.

At this time, the Tang army was too flustered when they suddenly encountered the enemy, and the tactics of the strong armor and big shield spear, for them, the time was not enough, and the spear was taken out, but the big shield could only be unevenly placed in front, not so much a little protective, but rather a courage.

The well-trained Youzhou border army is obviously more elite than the Jinyang soldiers and horses.

The shortcomings of the insufficient combat strength of the Jinyang defenders were revealed at this moment.

Because they have only experienced some anti-bandit wars in the turmoil of the past few years, there are only a handful of people in the army who have accompanied the army on expeditions to Liaodong.

The essence of the Tang Army is not in Jinyang.

Che cavalry general Zhang Da looked at the overwhelming cavalry formation in the distance, and closed his eyes in despair, it's over, these 5,000 people and horses are where his hard work is, he wanted to attach to Tang Gong and fight for a wife for Zhang's family to come back, but he didn't want to, but he was going to be buried here.

What's even more sad is that he Zhang Da only came from a slightly cold background, unlike those people who have their own family backgrounds, so they can only stay in Jinyang and guard the door to this day. It is also not an inch, and now, the road ahead is broken.

The cavalry army came from all over the field, and Zhang Da saw the sun, moon and star flag in the cavalry, with a big Li character written on it. Nothing else.

Neither Sui Chen nor Tang Dynasty, Li Po, who rose in Daizhou, did not die, and finally reversed.

In this battle, Li Po was more fully prepared, did not carry out a long-distance attack, and only waited for the Tang army to enter Yanmen, and then led the army to fight. Therefore, for the first time, rows of armored heavy cavalry finally appeared in the cavalry formation on a large scale.

As many times before, there was no nonsense, and as soon as the army arrived, it completed the preparations for the attack in the middle of the march, and did not stop at all.

Led by heavy cavalry, the army swarmed up.

Actually, by this time. For cavalry, there were already too many options tactically. The hedgehogs were gathered in one place, and the poorly protected Tang Army pioneers were like an appetizer, and they were allowed to put down their chopsticks.

But Li Po didn't want to waste too much time here, so he passed down the military order as soon as the scout reported over.

So that the two wings of the army do not need to go to war. Directly forward, with the heavy armored cavalry, it is not necessary to go all out at all to break the hastily formed infantry formation.

Simply and rudely crushing the past is the most time-saving way.

He also did not think about driving the Tang army to crush their Chinese army. In the face of such a large group of cavalry, all tactics seem to have become a little ridiculous.

In fact, there are not many heavy horses in the armor of the large army, only 2,000 horses, not because of the lack of armor, but because of the lack of tall Hexi horses.

The steppe war horses were too short to bear such a weight and gallop forward, and Li Po did not have any preference for heavy armored cavalry.

Such cavalry, only on the set battlefield, can show its terrifying power, not to mention the high cost, but also too cumbersome, the pressure on logistics is also very great.

And this battle was naturally set up by heavy cavalry.

The heavily armored cavalry, like a moving fortress, did not run very fast, but it was indeed a nightmare for the infantry formation.

At this time, before the battle, the heart of the Tang army was broken.

This is a new army, and when they face a chaotic bandit, they have high morale, a solid military spirit, and some rudiments of a strong army.

But when they are faced with a desperate situation, their shortcomings are exposed, they lack the soul that a strong army must have, the soul poured with the blood of the enemy, written by victory.

Some of the Tang soldiers screamed, threw down their weapons, and fled backwards, and the chaos immediately began to spread, and no matter how much Zhang Da and the officers screamed, kicked and beaten, or even killed the fleeing soldiers, they could not stop the collapse of the Tang army.

But it was all in vain.

The sparse arrows came, clanging against the armor, making a pleasant sound, but they did little damage to the heavy cavalry, only a few unlucky ones were shot in the eyes and planted their horses upside down.

The heavy cavalry crashed into the military formation that had already wavered first, making a loud noise, but it was completely different from the military formation that attacked Youzhou back then.

Countless figures, with a series of broken bones and blood spraying, were knocked out like dolls.

The heavy cavalry in the front row broke their spears, knocked their shields away, and walked into the Tang army formation almost without hindrance, leaving behind bloody paths by the way, and they trampled everything in front of them to smash.

The five thousand Tang troops, in the face of such a heavy blow, had almost no power to fight back, and they met the worst enemy in the worst battlefield.

Rows of heavy cavalry pushed past, and the Tang army's military formation was already fragmented.

The light cavalry covered up in the rear, and the army spread across the field, completely drowning the five thousand Tang troops, whether they fled or resisted, they were trampled by the cavalry, and the snow bright steel knife was not stained with much blood.

But on the horse's hooves, it was red and dazzling.

After the army, the land was in a mess, under such an attack, the Tang army officers and soldiers had no chance to surrender, 5,000 Tang troops, except for Zhang Wenju's department, which took the lead in leaving, the remaining more than 4,000 people were almost wiped out between the tea.

Che cavalry general Zhang Da was killed in battle......

On the spacious gallop road, the strange-shaped corpses were trampled by the war horses, and it was almost impossible to distinguish between you and me, and the ground was bright red, and the smell of blood was disgusting.

The work of cleaning up the battlefield was all handed over to the Daizhou infantry army that followed closely, which made the Wei Chi brothers and Xue Wanche both very annoyed.

And this is just the beginning of this battle, a bloody start.

The main force of the Tang Army, Li Yuanji almost didn't believe his ears after hearing the news.

There is no need to count on the depressed Dou Jing, at this time, the most decisive one is Dou's son-in-law Dou Dan.

When life and death are at stake, as long as you hesitate for even a moment, maybe His Royal Highness King Qi, who has just become the prince of the Tang Dynasty, will be handed over to Daizhou.

Dou Dan, who could smell the smell of danger, was driven by the desire to survive, and burst out with amazing energy.

Yes, it is the desire to survive, the rumors that the Daizhou cavalry come and go like the wind, he has heard too much, if the army is attacked, and encounters a large group of cavalry attacks in such a place, he can't think about what a miserable result will be.

His experience also determined that he had a faster reaction than others, because after all, he had served in the Great Sui Military Department for a while.

He didn't think that he could organize his army to fight the enemy, but immediately took the lead in asking Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, to return to Fenyang first.

Of course, this can't get Li Yuanji's consent, and the coach fled first without a fight, what is the reason? Besides, the enemy situation in front is unknown, and Zhang Da led the army to resist the enemy in front, how can he easily say defeated?

The shadow of the plan hung over everyone's hearts, but there were too many reasons to wait, making everyone hesitate.

In a hurry, Dou Dan didn't want to explain too much to Li Yuanji, but just said to everyone: "Your Royal Highness's safety is tied to the community, how can you ignore it?" Come and unload the armor for His Highness, who will command the army to resist the enemy on behalf of His Highness? After that, he will be blessed with his wife and children......"

When everyone heard this, they were immediately shocked, and many thoughts became clear.

At this time, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, couldn't help it, and a few tall guards came up and took off Li Yuanji's battle armor.

Dou Jing took a step forward and took the armor without hesitation and put it on his body.

At this time, he already had the heart of death, all the way back, but he was not calm, the scouts of the Daizhou army who followed him like a shadow, patrolled around them for a long time, and the hostility did not ask him, he was tricked, and this thought had followed Dou Jing all the way.

And he first misspoke in Yanmen, and asked Li Po, the head of the Daizhou march, to send troops to attack Fenyang, and was suspected of forcing Li Po, the head of the Daizhou march, to rebel, and then led the Jinyang army into a trap and trapped the king of Qi, and after he went back, he could no longer tell.

It's better to lead the troops here to fight, if you win, there is still a chance of life, and if you lose, it's over.

At this time, there is no need to say anything, Dou Dan glanced at his brother and sighed in his heart, their brother is unlucky, why did he follow this one?

"The army is entrusted to you, if you can win, Your Highness will celebrate your achievements in Fenyang."

Subsequently, Dou Dan led the guards of King Qi, personally gagged the hoarse King of Qi, and fled towards Fenyang with him.

Timid people live long, this is very suitable for Dou Dan.

Li Yuanji is just touching his light.

In fact, at this time, Dou Dan just thought that King Qi was useless in the army, if he was really defeated, and if there was a mistake, their Dou family would be able to do big things, and they were not afraid of 10,000 in case of trouble, so they used such means, and he didn't want to bury His Royal Highness.

In fact, this is nothing new, the prince led the troops to the battle, and since the time of Emperor Wen, people have been accustomed to it.

But no one thinks that the prince should be strong and persistent, in front of the battle, Yang Guang led the army a lot of times, but he never hurt a hair, obviously, Li Yuan's sons are much better than Yang Jian.

Of course, this is also due to current events, and it is not easy to compare.

Just like now, the people who hugged Li Yuanji back to Fenyang were just worried that they would be punished by His Royal Highness King Qi in the future, and the others didn't bother to think about it, and some even felt that Dou Dan's move was a bit excessive.

But as it turned out, they escaped in a timely manner......
