Chapter 404: Armored Cavalry

Two days later.

The Gorro lay haggard on the blood-stained battlements of arrows, staring at the approaching enemy forces outside the city with blood-red eyes.

Behind him was a blood-colored field.

The rammed earth walls were soaked in blood and turned into a kind of filthy black and red, and dead bodies were everywhere who were too tired to clean up, both cannibals and Sogdians, and this scene spread from the top of the city wall to the outside, and spread to the bottom of the wall, where the dead bodies were even piled up in stacks, and the siege equipment such as destroyed ladders was scattered among the corpses, some of which still had wisps of green smoke that had not been extinguished.

Behind him was a golden glow of the morning sun.

After two days and two nights of bloody fighting, he finally ushered in the sunrise of the third day at the head of the black city of Bari, at the cost of the dead bodies of 2,500 Sogdian soldiers.

In fact, it is not difficult to defend the city in this era.

As long as the defenders of the city have a heart, with the idea of co-living and dying with the city, and the difference in strength is not very large, then it is difficult for the attacker to break through a city with even the most basic defense system in a short period of time, in the era when the heaviest weapons are only trebuchets, the wall of less than three stories is enough to make any attacker helpless, even in the era of artillery, those ordinary people in Jiangyin can still hold on to the strong Qing army for nearly three months.

Not to mention that there were no cannons at this time.

And Barry Black is also the strongest military fortress in this area, it is only because of Yang Feng's combat power that can be called a loophole, it is easy to be breached, but the big cannibal cannibal cannot have Yang Feng's combat power, Goluo led his subordinates to fight for the 10,000 Sogdian coalition troops who fought to defend their homeland and relatives behind them, and they withstood the ferocious attack of nearly 100,000 big food troops from all sides here, and then ......

"Reinforcements!"

A soldier covered in blood suddenly let out a scream of ecstasy.

Gorak looked back in amazement.

At this time, the morning light was rising, and under the golden morning glow, on the vast field that also seemed to be dyed gold, I don't know when a white horse suddenly appeared, and a little golden light shone on the horse's back.

He couldn't wait to pull out his binoculars and set his eyes on that little bit of gold.

"It's General Yang, reborn, reborn!"

Then he shouted with a wild laugh like crazy.

All the Sogdian soldiers turned their eyes to that little bit of golden light, and at that moment, behind that little golden light, a golden color across the wasteland suddenly slowly appeared......

"He really held on!"

Yang Feng stood in the morning light, looked at Barry Heicheng with great interest and said.

"If you can't hold it, their whole family should be turned into piles of burning heads, I have to say that you are so ruthless, you have turned a group of wall grasses that fall with the wind, a group of famous waste, into warriors who would rather die than retreat, I don't know whether the Sogdians should thank you or hate you, but the Golom servants should thank you, it seems that he, the king of Kangju, has arrived!"

Next to him, Bai Xiaode said speechlessly.

"Give it to him, and you will be rewarded for it!"

Yang Feng said.

Then he raised the Mo knife in his hand.

"Warriors of the Tang Dynasty, line up! Three years ago in Talas we lost, today is the day to wash away the shame, today is the day to avenge those brothers who died in battle, today is the day to make the great cannibals tremble under our feet! Li Jing, Su Dingfang, Zhang Xiaosong, the names of countless Tang Dynasty soldiers are engraved on the land of the Western Regions, today, we want to engrave our names on this land, so that all the people in this land will remember our names from generation to generation, worship us, fear us, tremble under our feet, raise your horses, urge your war horses, wave your strange knives, kill, kill, kill, kill your eternal glory! ”

In a roar of excitement, he urged his horse.

Behind him, three thousand mounted cavalry simultaneously urged the war horses under their crotches and launched a charge towards the besieging Great Food Army, three thousand war horses wrapped in cold-forged iron armor, three thousand of the most powerful warriors of this era, and three thousand horses that could be called the kings of the cold weapon era, followed their commander with the sound of thunderous horses' hooves, and continued to accelerate forward on the wasteland dyed golden by the morning sun, gradually elongating into a triangle in the acceleration, stabbing the enemy with dust and reflected light.

At the same time, two large eclipse cavalry appeared on their two wings, relying on the speed advantage of light equipment to continue to shoot sharp arrows on the periphery, but these arrows were all directly bounced off by the solid cold forging armor without exception, and the big eclipse infantry in front of them who were originally preparing to attack the city also quickly lined up, behind the antlers that blocked the cavalry, in the hands of the dense infantry, spears formed a terrifying dense forest, and behind the spear forest, the same countless infantry archers began to shoot on their backs, and the sharp arrows that rushed straight into the sky fell at a large angle like a rainstorm, Then it was also bounced off by the cold forging armor.

The galloping Tang cavalry was unstoppable.

They slammed into the defense line of the Great Cannibal like an undead army, and even the earth trembled under the trampling of the horses' hooves, which was the most terrifying attack force in the Cold Weapon Age.

Armored Ride.

Suddenly, on the foremost war horse, a golden light rose into the air, and the moment it landed, it stabbed straight forward at a speed far beyond the speed of the war horse, and before those big cannibals could react, he had already arrived in front of the defense line, and the next moment those antlers flew up one after another, and then smashed fiercely in the middle of the spearmen of the big food army, in the latter's screams, almost in the blink of an eye, a gap nearly thirty zhang wide appeared, and at this moment, the uncontrolled red war horse also arrived at this gap, and the golden figure rose into the air, The moment the horse trampled on the first Great Eater Cavalry, it reappeared on horseback, and the next moment the majestic Andalusian horse soared into the air, followed by a strange arc of light shining on its right.

Blood shot up into the sky.

On the mound in the distance, Abu. Mu Silin subconsciously broke the horsewhip.

With the sound of his horsewhip breaking, the torrent of mounted cavalry fiercely crashed into the chaotic defense line of the Great Eclipse Infantry, who had just been smashed into a chaotic mess by the antlers, and could not even support their spears at this time, and instantly flew upside down in this terrible impact, and was trampled under the hooves of their horses......

Countless horses' hooves.

The Tang Army's armored cavalry, which had almost accelerated to the limit, pierced the defense line of the Great Food Army in the blink of an eye.

Three thousand mounted cavalry rushed through the gap like a long thorn, like a flood that washed over the embankment, constantly widening the gap in the rush, trampling more Great Eclipse soldiers under the hooves of horses, no one could stop them, all the Great Eclipse soldiers who tried to stop them were knocked away in an instant, swept into the torrent and trampled into rotten flesh. They didn't even need to fight, all they needed to do was gallop their horses, follow their invincible commander, run wildly all the time, rush and trample all the time, and the gap in the defense line of the Great Eater infantry was constantly widening, and when the last fifty mounted cavalry almost swept side by side, a blood-red gap of thirty zhang wide appeared almost piled up of countless rotten flesh.

And at this moment, the edge of this long thorn had already crashed into another Great Eater infantry.

The infantry, which was in the process of mobilizing, was pierced again in an instant before it could even change formation, and then, as before, the galloping mounted cavalry continued to ram and trample through them, and in less than a minute, three thousand mounted cavalry pierced through it with the blood of hundreds of Great Food Soldiers.

By this time, the cavalry had already arrived under the city of Bari.

"Do you have the strength to do it again?"

Under the black city of Bari, Yang Feng took the war horse with his back to the city wall, and shouted excitedly at the subordinates who had reorganized the team.

"Follow the general to the death!"

The mounted cavalry roared equally excitedly.

Even the Gorod servants on the city walls and his Sogdian soldiers were shouting excitedly.

Such a battle is so enjoyable!

In fact, many of the horses of the Tang army equipped with cavalry were not even stained with blood, as long as the forward was not blocked, the vast majority of people in the back simply followed and rushed, relying on heavy armor to resist the attack of bows and arrows, relying on horses to solve the resistance of the peripheral enemy army, and relying on the impact force of the galloping war horses to constantly impact and trample.

To put it bluntly, it is pure crushing.

This is the mystery of Li Shimin's thousands of Xuanjia troops who are often invincible on the battlefield of more than 100,000 people, and even repeatedly rush to kill, the best war horse, the most perfect protection, in the era of cold weapons, the lack of effective long-range armor-piercing weapons to attack their flanks, then as long as they are not blocked from the forward, their collision is invincible. And Li Shimin's Xuanjia army still needs to pay a certain price when breaking through the enemy's defense line, because the antler and spear formations and dense infantry formations can block them in the front, they must first use bloody battles to tear the defense line, and they do not have cold forging armor immune to bows and arrows, and their opponents often have strong crossbows to attack at close range on the flanks.

But none of that is in this battle.

The Great Cannibals don't have a divine arm bow, and their bows and arrows can't pierce cold forged armor.

Yang Feng completed the tearing task alone, and there was no need for soldiers to rush hard, he not only removed the antlers arranged on the front of the thirty zhang wide, but also used these antlers to smash the attack front within this width, and then before the big cannibal could complete the adjustment, the following cavalry torrent solved the rest, and the final result was three thousand mounted cavalry......

Not a single one died.

Only less than 100 people were slightly injured by arrows shot into the gaps in the iron armor, but it did not affect the battle, after all, Shen Kuo had clearly recorded that even if the crossbow arrow was shot into the rope hole of this iron armor, the iron of the arrow would be forced to roll up, and the big cannibal arrow definitely did not have the power of the crossbow arrow, and there was an extra cotton lining under the Tang Army's iron armor, and most of these so-called minor injuries were actually just broken skins.

In that case......

"Then keep killing!"

Yang Fengmo roared with a finger.

A large number of Dashi soldiers in front of him were regrouping and preparing to meet his new assault, including a cavalry with a total of no less than 10,000 men who were also preparing to launch a counterattack.

But behind them, a black streak of black on the horizon crept in.
