The opponents who fought with the Northern Song Dynasty in history, except for the female Zhenda, all knew a common sense: the Song army array that laid down the arrow array could not rush hard! And the Song army, which relied on the dangerous terrain to deploy defenses, couldn't provoke it, especially the Western Army!

Therefore, if Wang Hou hadn't cut Amon in front of Doropa, Doropa would not have been hot-headed and let his Tubo Erlang rush into battle.

But Doropa, who witnessed his son's head being cut off, was dizzy and gave this somewhat brainless order.

And so the charge of the Tibetan cavalry began!

Because the Mustang slope occupied by the Song army was not very open, it could not accommodate 15,000 Tibetan cavalry to rush together. Dorobah had no choice but to order his subordinates to attack in turns, with 2,000 cavalry at a time.

When the terrible sound of the horn sounded through the valley between the Wild Horse Slope and the Wild Donkey Slope, 2,000 Tibetan cavalry armed with spears and sabers began to mobilize. These Tibetan cavalry did not have a strict formation, and the equipment was not very good, most of them were not armoured, but most of the knights who rushed to the front had a thin leather armor. But the number of 2,000 horsemen was still quite impressive, and they rushed down the opposite hill like a tide, accelerated downhill, and then took advantage of the inertia to attack upwards. As he drove his horse forward, he let out a strange scream.

The Song army is also ready for battle. The 1,500 knightly auxiliaries were all dressed in leather armor and formed a rather dense array of guns along the hillside, and 1,500 cavalry spears were like a forest, and the tips of the guns were flickering. 1,000 knights and 1,000 light cavalry of Xihe Road dismounted, all of them with bows and arrows, among which the knights were holding high-quality buffalo horn bows and stood behind the gun array, and 1,000 light cavalry of Xihe Road stood in front of the gun array. Another 1,000 light cavalry from Xihe Road mounted their horses and stood behind the formation as reserves. There were also 500 knightly auxiliaries who looked after the baggage and horses, and did not participate in the battle.

"Zhang!"

With a command, the 1,000 light cavalry of Xihe Road who dismounted all drew their bows and arrows.

"Put!"

Another command, followed by the sound of a bowstring with a "boom, boom". The sharp arrow left the string and covered the body of the charging Tubo cavalry, and it was immediately shot down!

The formation of the Tibetan cavalry was a little chaotic (they were already very chaotic, but now they are chaotic and chaotic), and the speed of their advance was also a pause, but the chaotic cavalry was generally still advancing. The distance between them and the Song army's gun array was getting closer and closer, and the tense atmosphere was also spreading among the Song army's knight auxiliaries with guns.

These knightly auxiliaries were a very special existence in the Song army, they were not soldiers with military status, but the personal retinue of knights. However, the martial arts and riding skills of these people are also not bad, because the people who can choose knights are not ordinary people, nor are they grassroots soldiers. They are either junior generals of the Western Army, or children of wealthy families in Hebei and Kaifeng. With a little bit of financial resources, you can also find a few retinues who can fight.

However, these people are different from knights and warriors, and they all need to be rewarded with copper coins and silk silks. And Wang Hou and Tong Guan were also prepared, and they were rewarded according to the standards of the elite of the Western Army. Gao Yu also gave a promise that the 300 knight auxiliaries who made the most meritorious contributions in this battle, in addition to the rewards they deserved, could also be promoted to knights and get 1,500 acres of vocational land - of course, Tian is still Wu Haogu's Jiehe City Bo Si found a way to buy!

In addition to rewards, dozens of Wang Hou and Tong Guan's personal soldiers also scattered and stood behind these auxiliaries, holding straight knives. Who dares to retreat without an order, there is no forgiveness for killing!

Just when the atmosphere was tense to the extreme, the war horses of dozens of Tubo warriors who rushed to the front suddenly neighed and raised their front hooves, and then they fell to the ground without obeying the command, throwing off the warriors on horseback. It turned out that they stepped on the thistle arranged by the Song army!

The charging Tibetan cavalry was again in confusion, and the pace of the attack was once again disrupted.

At this moment, the light cavalry archers who had been standing in front of the gun array quickly retreated, while the auxiliary soldiers with guns were all half-crouching, and the knights in front of the temple behind them immediately began to shoot arrows.

The knights did not fire a salvo, but aimed at the Tibetan cavalry thirty or forty paces away and fired freely. These knights were good archers, and their buffalo horn bows were sharper than ordinary foot bows and horse bows. I saw these knights stretching their bows and arrows, flying arrows, and their movements were done in one go. However, they were not very fast in their arrows, and even slower than the average archer.

It doesn't shoot fast, but it's very accurate, even more accurate than those house slave hunk shooters!

looked at the sparse arrows, but they all flew towards the Tibetan knights who had no armor to protect them. The screams of the Tibetan people suddenly became one after another, and the wailing and screaming of hundreds of mouths seemed to be a song that shook people's hearts and made sorrow. The Tibetan warriors who had not yet been harmed by the arrows trembled.

The bow and crossbow of the Han people are really powerful!

was hit by a cluster of precise arrows, and there was chaos because he stepped on the thistle. The first wave of attacks by the Tibetan knights had already been disintegrated before they even reached the Song army's gun array.

Seeing that the Tubo people began to retreat in chaos, Wang Hou, who commanded the battle, decisively ordered the knight auxiliaries with spears and the knight lords who were still shooting arrows just now to launch a wave of attack.

As the war drums of the attack sounded, the Song army shouted and began to counterattack. However, this time the impact organization was not good, and it was almost swarming. The effect of counterattack is actually good! Because the Tubo people were even more rabble, and they were put down dozens of times by the Song army's bows and arrows, almost all the warriors who rushed to the front were shot to the ground, which broke through the limit of casualties they could bear, who still had the courage to go hand-to-hand combat? So without waiting for Doropa's order, it receded like a tidal wave, leaving behind dozens of corpses, and the same number of wounded waiting to be mercilessly killed!

"Damn it! It's all rubbish! A bunch of garbage ......"

Seeing that the first wave of attacks he organized was easily broken up by his opponent, Dorobah screamed in anger.

Qiao Abury, who was watching the battle with him, seemed to see some doorways, and said loudly: "Big leader, this group of Song troops is not very strict, it should not be elite!" ”

Doroba turned his head and glanced sideways at Qiao Ashi: People are not elite and easily repel the soldiers of Michuan City, is it possible that the warriors of Miaochuan City are really waste?

But angry is angry, Doroba didn't dare to bury his face with Joa, among the 15,000 people dispatched today, 5,000 were brought by Joa Bury from Zongge City and Lijing City!

"Second team, give it to me!" Doroba gritted his teeth and ordered, "Tell the sons and daughters that you must play the majesty of the sons and daughters of the Fan family!" ”

The prestige of the feudal family disappeared long ago when the Tibetan Empire fell apart! The second, third, fourth, and fifth waves of the Doropa offensive are almost a replica of the first attack! In the face of the bows and arrows and spears of the Song army, in addition to a crushing defeat, it was still a fiasco. By the afternoon of the same day, the corpses of the feudal people had been piled up in front of the Song army, there were always about a thousand corpses, and many of the wounded had run back to their camps, and they were letting out a burst of wails and screams.

Such a loss is really a bit unbearable for the Tibetan people. Moreover, they have been fighting for most of the day, and they have not eaten any food since they left the camp in the early morning, and they are all sleepy, and they are a little unable to fight.

However, Doropa still refused to give up, and refused to collect his troops and return to Gongzangling, but let his subordinates rest for a while, and by the way, they had some food and wine.

In fact, he can't leave! His opponent was not the infantry of the Song army, but the same cavalry! And there are 1,000 knights who can act as heavy horses! Where can he calmly retreat under his nose?

At the same time that the Tubo people, who had been defeated for a long time, began to eat one after another, Wang Hou on the other side gave Yang Keshi and Yang Kebi the order for the knights to charge into battle.

After hastily eating some salted yak jerky, the 992 knights (8 knights were wounded or killed in the previous battle) mounted their respective horses under the command of the brothers Yang Keshi and Yang Kebi, and launched a phalanx of 1,000 horsemen on the wild horse slope. Everyone stood in their hands and put on a posture of preparing to charge.

"Great Chief! The cavalry of the Song army seems to be about to charge! ”

Doropa, who had received the report from his subordinates, put down the wine and meat, hurriedly boarded the war horse, stretched his neck and saw that he was suddenly a spirit! Although the other party only has more than 1,000 horsemen, everyone is wearing armor, all of them are holding a stalk, and the formation is strict, and it looks like they have been strictly drilled.

This is an armor ride similar to that of an iron harrier! When did the Song people have such armor rides?

"Great Chief! Let's get the boys on the horse! I have to hedge with the Song people's armor and horses......"

At this time, Qiao Abury also saw the movement on the opposite hill! The Song people are going to rush. But everyone is preparing to have a meal on their own side...... Although someone is in charge of guarding, it's still a bit chaotic!

"Yes, yes!" Doroba hurriedly ordered at this time, "Get on your horse, prepare for battle, and prepare to charge!" ”

Although most of the Hehuang Tibetans were farmers, they were not good at foot combat, but mainly on light horses. If they were to dismount and form a battle, it would not be a good time to fight. So knowing that the armor riders on the opposite side were on the opposite side, Dorobah still let his warriors get on their horses and prepare to hedge.

But as soon as his order was issued, the war drums of the Song army's attack were already beating.

The terrain of the Mustang Slope is not very suitable for cavalry to charge, but there are as many as ten rows of 1,000 armored cavalry. But this row of armored horsemen holding horses, along the gentle wild horse slope, rumbling down, rows of horses flattened, when the speed of the horses became faster and faster, it still made the whole world tremble.

The sound of horses' hooves has drowned out all the sounds of heaven and earth, and rows of cold tips reflect the bright summer sun, like rows of speeding meteors. The roar of the horses' hooves and the shouts of the charging knights mixed into a loud noise like a tide, and with an unstoppable momentum, they pounced on the enemy in front!

The Tibetans on the wild donkey slope were completely scattered, some of them were wielding bows, some were holding knives, some were hurrying on their horses, and some were running up the hillside. More people opened their mouths widely, just watching the torrent of armor horses suddenly launched by the Song people rushing towards them, and there was only one thought in their minds: it was too powerful......
