Xianbei people are in a dilemma. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Turned and fled, but there was no bridge.

Jiang Xin City suddenly turned from a piece of fat to a cage, and they were fooled. The angry Xianbei people blew their horns, and they didn't care about looting Jiangxin City, so they began to assemble.

God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, and no one can trap them here.

It's just that the panicked footsteps and angry roars all show that they are flustered and frightened at this time.

The Tang army advanced from both sides, like two huge walls, squeezing over little by little, trying to squeeze the Xianbei people into powder.

The warriors of the Black Yeli tribe all had horses, but the cavalry did not have much advantage here.

Zhang Chao brought soldiers, and what he put on was a classic Tang Army formation.

Knife players, pikemen, crossbowmen, cavalry, and even hoplites and hoplites, not to mention the large winch crossbow that had to be pulled by multiple oxen.

Under the banner of the tall Zhang Zijun, Zhang Chao was guarded by his two hundred tooth soldiers. This tooth soldier is also Zhang Chao's most elite reserve team, and another hundred heavily armed iron horses and a hundred strange knives are also prepared on the side.

When the people of the Black Yeli Department rushed out on horseback like a swarm, wanting to level the Tang army, which had already been ambushed, Zhang Chao just sneered and shouted the order to fire a crossbow.

In the empty space of each phalanx, there are big crossbows.

Huge hinch crossbows, bamboo pole crossbows, etc., are equipped with crossbows like soldiers' spears.

At the command, the giant crossbows that had already been wound were shot one by one.

The roaring sound of breaking the air came and went, and the huge crossbow with a range of three hundred paces could not stop even the cavalry.

Hit by a crossbow gun, the men and horses were broken.

"Crossbowmen ready!"

Teams of crossbowmen wound individual crossbows and aimed them at enemy horses.

The professional crossbowmen among these soldiers were not the craftsmen of the people in the river city.

The enemy cavalry was charging, the ground was shaking, and the shouts of killing shook the sky, but they were unmoved.

In the moonlight, in the firelight, those roaring Yeli cavalry were nothing more than their prey. They were judging the distance of the enemy riders and trying to breathe as steadily as possible.

Into range.

"Put!"

The crossbowman pulls the machine, and the short bolt comes out of the string, and the crossbow arrow is small but very deadly. With great range and super strength, cowhide armor can't stop it at all.

People turn on their backs.

Another horde of Yeli warriors fell.

The Yeli Department is still charging, and they still have a breath of energy, and they want to rely on this qi to enter the Tang army's formation.

Six teams of 300 crossbowmen were divided into three groups, each with two teams, and they fired crossbows one after another, and the crossbows were like flying locusts.

"Archer!"

When the Yeli cavalry had suffered heavy casualties and rushed into some distance, Zhang Chao ordered six teams of archers to join the battle.

It's still three hundred, it's still divided into three teams.

Although the archers are not as far as the crossbowmen, the archers can shoot faster in a short time, and the average archers are more accurate.

The drums of war are like thunder, shouting to kill and shake the sky.

In fact, this battle does not need Zhang Chao to command, because for these elite soldiers who have been in battle for a long time, this is simply a pediatric battle.

Although there were many people in the Yeli Tribe, they were more herdsmen than specially organized warriors. And these government soldiers are all battle-hardened formations, and they almost have an instinct to fight, and all kinds of battle formations, and the cooperation between each other, are not comparable to this Ministry of Metallurgy at all.

One hundred and fifty paces, the crossbowmen began to shoot.

By sixty paces, the archers had joined the battle.

Everything is well organized, and the timing of the battle is quite well grasped. There was no indiscriminate attack beyond range, no panic, and no wasted attacks.

Everything was grasped just right.

Zhang Chao brought out 3,000 people, nearly 2,000 soldiers, and more than 1,000 auxiliaries.

At this time, it was divided into two large forces, the front was the battle team, and the rear was the garrison. In addition to transporting military chess and treating the wounded, they also manipulated those crossbows, catapults, shield carts, etc. At critical times, it can also become a reserve.

The nearly 2,000 soldiers were also divided into several parts.

Strikers, Odd Soldiers.

The strikers are mainly infantry jumpers, sword players and pikemen are jumpers, and crossbowmen will also put their bows and crossbows aside when the enemy reaches twenty paces, and the garrison auxiliaries will take them back. At this time, the crossbow carried a knife and followed the jumping team in close combat.

The Odd Soldiers are mainly cavalry, reserves and mobile forces, responsible for covering flanks, assaults, and pursuits.

This is an elite army that has survived a hundred battles, and the way of fighting has been seared into the bones.

What Zhang Chao has to do is just to keep his handsome flag and the six big banners, let the soldiers know that he has always been with them, and let them understand the direction of the attack.

Leave the rest to them.

The Yeli soldiers are still very brave and dare to fight.

But he is only brave, but he is not a good soldier.

The Yeli cavalry finally rushed to the front of the Tang army, and the hundred Mo swordsmen were already standing in front with heavy armor, and behind them were the crossbowmen who had changed their swords and guns, as well as the sword players and foot soldiers.

"Woohoo!"

"Kill!"

With the roar of a hundred hoplites, a Mo knife more than a person tall swung and flashed a white light in the air.

A wall of knives fell, and dozens of horsemen who rushed to the front were suddenly shattered!

This is the power of the Mo Dao Hands.

The most elite existence in the Tang Dynasty infantry, and only the elite of the elite who were only equipped with a small number of Yuan Cong's forbidden army, exerted terrifying combat power at this time.

Chop melons and vegetables!

Native chicken tile dog.

Zhang Chao can only think of these two words, the person hits the knife, and the person is in half. The horse hits the knife, and the horse is split in two.

The Yeli cavalry was very fierce, but it crashed into the sword wall, but it was shattered.

Xu Jingzong and Ma Zhou had their mouths wide open.

Yu Chi Baolin Cheng was silent about the four hussar generals, and couldn't help waving excitedly in front of his formation.

At this moment, Mo Daoshou is undoubtedly the brightest star, and everyone is proud of them.

"If there are a thousand Mo swordsmen, we are enough to run rampant in Longyou!" Xu Jingzong sighed.

However, Zhang Chao just shook his head and smiled, "A thousand Mo swordsmen? We can't afford it! ”

Yes, I can't afford to raise it, so now there are one hundred Mo swordsmen and one hundred armor riders in Taozhou, which makes Zhang Chao very difficult to support. Fortunately, these two hundred heavy infantry riders are all existing equipment.

Otherwise, I don't know how much they would have paid for the hoplite armor and armored cavalry on their bodies, which were the best armor, especially the armored cavalry, and even the horses were armed to the teeth.

The huge one-man high double-edged broadsword of the Mo swordsmen was quite expensive. The longer the sword, the more difficult it becomes, because it is too long and easy to break. This is also the reason why ancient bronze swords are very short, even if the metallurgical forging technology has been greatly improved now, it is not easy to make the knife so long.

These soldiers had to train regularly, and they were all big men, and they ate and drank more than others.

Raising one Mo swordsman is definitely equivalent to raising ten ordinary infantrymen.

In the same way, raising one heavy cavalry is also equivalent to raising several ordinary light cavalry.

These 200 people alone are equivalent to raising an army of ordinary government soldiers.

I can't afford to raise a hundred, and I still have a thousand.

Besides, Mo Daoist is indeed powerful, but he is not invincible. Their armor is too heavy, they are incapacitated, they have explosive power, but they don't have stamina.

That is, when they are engaged, let them resist the enemy's charging momentum.

"Let's get our armored riders to strike!"

The heavy cavalry with men and horses in armor, this is the elite of the cavalry, Li Shimin originally had a thousand heavy cavalry, known as the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry.

Although Zhang Chao's hundred horsemen were not Xuanjia iron horses, they were also from Li Yuan's Yuancong Forbidden Army.

In the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, wars were frequent, and armored cavalry was once quite popular, but after the Sui and Tang dynasties dominated the world, armored cavalry was slowly eliminated because of its high cost. For the imperial court, it is better to raise armored cavalry than to directly raise a group of government soldiers.

The cost of government soldiers is low and more cost-effective.

It's like the lance is slowly being replaced by a spear.

Cheaper and more cost-effective ones are easier to keep.

However, the power of the armored cavalry is still not negligible, and they are eliminated, not because they can't do it, but because they are too powerful and too expensive.

With the help of the garrison's auxiliaries, a hundred mounted iron horsemen began to put on their armor. Their armor was heavy and strong, and ordinary knives and arrows were of little use.

The brightest armor worn by ordinary soldiers is the two round guards, which cannot be cut or pierced by horizontal knives. And the heavy cavalry is equivalent to wearing this thick round protection all over the body.

When they got on their horses, they even had to be pushed on by the garrison auxiliaries.

The war horse was also covered in armor, revealing only a short leg, and only two eyes were exposed on the horse's head.

"Drive!"

The hoplites stirred up their horses and slowly accelerated.

The hoplites are not as agile as the light cavalry, but if they are given time to accelerate, they can destroy everything.

One hundred heavy cavalry was divided into two teams, one on the left and one on the left and one on the left and right flanks.

Behind them were four hundred light horsemen, two hundred on each side.

These are two sharp knives, and the Heavy Iron Rider is the tip of the sharp knife.

"Kill!"

The hoplites went from slow to fast, and as they charged, the ground shook and thundered.

The Mo knife hands are cutting everything, and no one can break through their knife wall.

The hoplites, on the other hand, destroyed everything, and no one could stop their iron hooves, and those who stood in the way were all knocked away by them.

Two sharp knives were inserted into the waist eye of the Yeli Department from the left and right flanks, and the light cavalry bow behind slashed and slashed, widening the two wounds.

"Killing machines!"

"Governor, what is a machine?" Xu Jingzong asked.

Zhang Chao paused, "The machine is a puppet, and it has no life. ”

"Oh, it does look like that. As soon as the heavy iron cavalry came out, no one could stop it, this battle hadn't started yet, it was already over. ”

"It's good to end early, Lion Bo Rabbit, also use all your strength, you must not be careless, you can't be turned over by others, there is no place to cry. And the sooner it ends, it can also reduce casualties. ”

Whether it was his own casualties or the casualties of the Yeli people, Zhang Chao didn't want it to be too big.

Every soldier of Taozhou Mansion is very precious, and if one dies, there will be one less. Even those auxiliaries are just as precious, most of them are new recruits, but after a few battles, they will slowly become elite government soldiers.

As for the Yeli people, Zhang Chao has already regarded them as his own trophies, they are prisoners of the Tang Dynasty, and they are official slaves of Taozhou, how can they be easily lost and wasted?

In the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty, it is illegal to slaughter cattle privately, and in Taozhou, it is also a violation of military law to kill prisoners!

The horn of the whining whistle was raised, and the troops led by Pi Lou Wuche and Yi Su Gu Shenqing finally came over from the other side.

The Ministry of Yeli was attacked on both sides, and it couldn't resist it, and it was defeated! (To be continued.) )
