(Thank you for the monthly pass of ruoliuc123 and the reward of the students who have not completed the dream again, thank you two!) Let's go to dinner first, and then come back to continue the update after eating. Just calculated, today on the 25th, Muzi has updated one hundred and five chapters, 360,000 words. This update is awesome, let's have two votes! )——

Gai Yu felt the earth under his feet vibrate violently, as if he was about to stand unsteadily, the sound of iron hooves knocking on the earth rumbled in his ears, and the neat charge of the heavily armored iron cavalry was as heavy as a towering mountain, but it was rapidly pressing towards his left flank.

Mountains and seas, landslides and ground cracks!

"Block them!" From Gaiyu's chapped lips, he could only let out a trembling and anxious cry. This ironclad cavalry is like a heavy sword, sweeping straight at the momentum. If they were allowed to crash into the left flank, the entire Crow cavalry might be directly disrupted by them, or even collapse.

Hundreds of left-wing Shatuo soldiers immediately turned their horses' heads, roared wildly, raised their knives and raised their guns, and rushed straight towards these steel monsters.

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

The Black Crows and the Black Flag collided violently, and soon the Shatuo people regretted their impulsiveness.

As soon as the Shatuo cavalry in the front row rushed up, before they could exclaim, they were swept away by the huge impact force, and then fell under the iron hooves of the back row.

The first row crashed into the air, then the second, then the third

Under that black flag. Everything is like the battle cry of the Black Flag Army. Where the black flag goes. Invincible.

No one could stop the heavy iron cavalry in the charge, and the cavalry of the Shatuo people had always been used to pride, and they had never seen the power of the heavy iron cavalry. Gai Yu was much better than the Shatuo barbarians, and he was a well-read strategist. He has seen in the history books the heavy cavalry of the two Jin and Southern and Northern Sui dynasties, showing their demeanor on various battlefields and deciding the outcome of the battle. However, he always believed that although the hoplites had many advantages, they were actually not inferior to the Shatuo cavalry.

But now. Watching the Shatuo cavalry bump into the heavy cavalry, only to be hit by the other party all the way like a piece of paper, and collapse one after another, he finally understood what a heavy iron cavalry was. These cavalrymen are not cavalry at all, they are a bunch of iron lumps that move. The Shatuo cavalry went to fight with them, like touching an egg against a stone!

One row after another, the Shatuo cavalry was knocked down by the unstoppable torrent of steel, as if they were pinched as paper paste!

"Black Flag!" Li Cunxiao, who rushed to the front, yelled loudly.

"Invincible!" In response to him was the neat shouts of his brethren of the Hundred Horsemen.

The roar of the heavily armed iron cavalry of the Black Flag Army, which was rushing forward, drowned out the screams of the Shatuo people under Gai Yu's command and the sound of weapons colliding. Under this overwhelming attack, the sky and the earth are falling apart. The hundreds of cavalry transferred by Gai Yu did not even manage to block for a moment, and were overwhelmed by this torrent of iron armor in an instant.

Gaiyu's heart trembled. But at this time, he had no choice. The impact of this ironclad cavalry was too strong. If they are not contained, the collapse of the entire Shatuo people is just around the corner. Under his shout, the Thousand Shatuo Black Crow Army turned around and rushed forward. The cavalry of the two sides collided head-on again, just like two waves collided head-on, stirring up countless splashes.

The strength of the Shatuo people made Li Jing and Yu Xuan, who were watching the battle in the city, also sighed, if it weren't for the absolute advantage of the Tang army, and the introduction of Li Keyong into a mortal situation, and the close to the city to fight, it would be really difficult to leave this strong Shatuo army.

The Shatuo people were indeed fierce, but the spears in their hands slashed horizontally at the iron armor of the Black Flag Army, and they were shocked to find that it was useless, and they were wearing a mountain armor and a rope armor. There are two eyes and a few small holes in the nose and mouth all over the body, which are simply covered with steel, and the defense is even more powerful than that of a turtle. Even the horses of the cavalry of the Black Flag Army have iron armor on their bodies, which not only can't kill the cavalry, but also can't kill the horses.

To deal with the Black Flag soldiers, no matter how sharp the knives and guns are, the most useful weapons at this time are the heavy blunt soldiers such as steel whips, copper maces, maces, maces, and iron bones. Those who may use these blunt soldiers on the horse are all soldiers who are born with extraordinary strength, and such people are one in a hundred.

On the contrary, most of the Shatuo cavalry were equipped with iron armor or pin leather armor. Every attack of the Black Flag Army can basically directly knock these Shatuo people off their horses.

In less than a moment, a large number of Shatuo people were killed. Just like the grassland blown by the autumn wind, Gai Yu commanded the follow-up cavalry to pounce continuously, but in the face of the rapidly charging iron mountain, he was still knocked off his horse.

Whether it is a man or a horse, under the impact of the torrent of iron armor, they have been washed to the ground, and the momentum is stronger than iron and harder than steel!

Finally, Gaiyu regained his senses, and the Shatuo cavalry wanted to fight this iron cavalry, and it was impossible to win. These guys are mountains of iron, and they can't be defeated with knives and guns. To deal with these ironclad cavalry, the only way to deal with them is to fight, first entangle with them, wait for their charging strength to drop, and when they are exhausted, then they have no speed, no stamina, just a few piles of iron lumps, they can easily shoot them.

But Gai Yu rubbed his face in pain, he knew what was the use of knowing the Tao now.

The Shatuo cavalry on the left flank had been completely scattered, and the speed of this cavalry had not yet slowed down. Now they still have strength, some speed, they have directly smashed the left flank, at this time, they are already about to stab the cavalry who are still rushing to kill the Tang army's infantry formation from the left side.

Gai Yu hurriedly ran to Li Keyong's side and exclaimed: "After staying, the ironclad cavalry of the Tang Army is unstoppable, and the brothers can't stop it, they have already killed it." We'll stay out of the edge for the time being, and when they're out of strength, we'll turn around and kill them. ”

Li Ke covered the wound on his left arm, his lips were blue and purple from the pain, and he was still shaking. Hear the words. Turned his head and looked. There was a look of pain and confusion in his eyes. How could there be ironclad cavalry in the Don Army!

He turned his head to the Yoshiko next to him and ordered. "Si Yuan, you lead the Tielin Army to meet the battle!" The Tielin Army was the most elite cavalry under Li Keyong, with a total of 5,000 people, but now it is getting smaller and smaller, and only 1,000 cavalry remains. This thousand cavalry Tielin Army is also Li Ke's guard force.

A scream erupted from the front, terrifying.

The Iron Armor Torrent of the Black Flag Army has come straight and is approaching.

The Black Flag Army continued to charge. The unique black military flag sounded in the wind.

After breaking through the left flank, Gao Shunli commanded two thousand ironclad cavalry to rush straight to the middle of the Shatuo people without hesitation. With bayonet guns and sabers in hand, the Black Flag Army was unstoppable and unstoppable.

In this black torrent, the two teams under Li Cunxiao's department rushed to the forefront of the entire formation, acting as blades. Under his leadership, the Black Flag Army is like a hurricane, and the blockers are clothed. The thunderous momentum can be contained by no soldier or horse!

The wind howled overhead. Horses neighed in their ears, and swords and spears swung around them.

Li Siyuan took Tie Linjun and went directly without hesitation. The two armies collided with the same black cavalry, but they would not confuse their identities, because the Black Flag Army was more completely black, and their masks that even covered their faces were too distinctive. Fighting with the Black Flag Army, looking at the armor, always made Li Siyuan feel that he was fighting against a piece of iron puppet that had no life and didn't know what life and death were.

Li Cunxiao was at the forefront, and he took the lead and first crashed into the Tielin army led by Li Siyuan. He was holding an extremely heavy iron lance, but these dozens of catties of iron lance were as light as a weight in his hands. The iron lance swung left in his hand, and no one could stop him.

None of the Shatuo soldiers who were close to Li Cunxiao within a zhang could be picked.

Li Siyuan raised his gun to fight, the two sides couldn't fight, Li Siyuan had been directly smashed by Li Cunxiao, spitting blood from Li Siyuan's mouth, and falling to the back of two feet like a broken kite. Li Cunxiao was about to take Li Siyuan's life directly, but at this time, several of Li Siyuan's personal soldiers fought desperately with guns, entangled Li Cunxiao for a moment, and let Li Siyuan be rescued by other personal soldiers.

Li Cunxiao killed those pro-soldiers, and when he saw that Li Siyuan had been pulled on his horse by his pro-soldiers and fled backwards, he roared angrily and chased his horse forward.

His subordinate cavalry immediately followed his figure forward, driving the ironclad cavalry behind him to roll forward.

The galloping ironclad cavalry was like a sharp arrow, cutting deep into the enemy's huge and bulky body, giving the enemy more trauma with each step forward. One after another, the once proud Shatuo cavalry was knocked off their horses.

Li Keyong also discovered the power of this iron cavalry at this time, and he personally gathered hundreds of cavalry to come to meet the wounded righteous son, in an attempt to contain this iron flow.

Li Cunxiao saw that Li Siyuan was fleeing farther and farther away, and he couldn't catch up, so he couldn't help but be very disappointed. At this time, he suddenly found that a Shatuo general wearing an eye patch led his troops to rush to the front of the battle, and hurriedly asked: "That blind man, you are Li Keyong!" ”

was called blind, Li Keyong was furious, and said angrily: "This general is Li Keyong, the patriarch of Shatuo, who is the unknown general opposite?" ”

"It turns out that you are Li Keyong, great." Li Cunxiao laughed a few times, and came on horseback, "Lift the mask, and say to Li Keyong: "You see, grandpa is the fourth disciple of Li Zhenguo, the prince of Qi, the fourth disciple of the Zhenguo Army, the Jiedu Ya, the pioneer of the Jiedu, and the current Li Cunxiao, the fourth capital of the left battalion of the Black Flag Army, is known as the Tiger General." I heard that the blind man also has a nickname called Flying Tiger, so we are destined to be heavenly, today, you Flying Tiger, let me fight the tiger will fight again! ”

Li Ke laughed angrily, "You dare to call yourself a tiger general, whether you beat me or I beat you, then each depends on his ability!" ”

The two horses faced each other, galloping closer. Although Li Keyong was wounded in his left hand, he still stabbed with a lance with his right hand alone.

The horse lance struck down in a thrilling arc in the air with a terrible wind, and Li Ke used the corner of his mouth with a hideous laugh: "Even if the tiger falls in Pingyang, it is not a vicious dog to bully, boy, take your life!" ”

Li Cun hit with a lance, but did not stab Li Cunxiao, Li Cunxiao did not dodge or dodge, directly raised his own muddy iron lance and kept raising fire to the sky, and directly swept the horse lance used by Li Ke from the bottom to the top. Li Ke's original strength was not as great as Li Cunxiao's, and he injured his arm again, at this time, he only held a lance in one hand, and naturally he was defeated by Li Cunxiao.

The two horses staggered, and before Li Keyong had time to dodge, the iron lance in Li Cunhua's hand had directly stabbed Li Keyong in the abdomen, picking him up from the horse, and then threw him directly under the horse.

was about to make up for a lance and cut off Li Ke's head. Dozens of horsemen suddenly came over next to him, Li Cunxiao killed and slashed right, and then turned back when he cut these people off the horse one by one, how could there be any trace of Li Keyong, who was gone.

Shatuo people saw that Li Siyuan and Li Keyong were shot down from their horses one after another, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, how could they still have any fighting spirit at this time.

At this moment, the sound of whining trumpets came from the battlefield again, and the six thousand light cavalry who had been waiting on both sides finally saw the time, and after the heavy cavalry completely defeated the formation of the Shatuo people and crushed the enemy's fighting spirit, the two wings sent troops, and the thunder covered the killing.

The Shatuo army was completely defeated and scattered and fled.

The 5,000 Shatuo soldiers were finally defeated by Feng'an, and Li Keyong did not break Li Jing's encirclement in a backwater battle, and was completely defeated by the Black Flag ironclad cavalry. The Zhenguo army then covered up the killing, and the five thousand Shatuo soldiers died countless battles, until the sunset and dusk, when the Zhenguo army counted the numbers.

In this battle, Shatuo participated in a total of more than 4,000 cavalry, 3,000 were killed in the first battle, and more than 1,000 were captured in the last battle. There are a few of the most reckless queens who would rather die than surrender, and were forced to the edge of the Yellow River, turned around and jumped into the icy Yellow River, not knowing life and death.

Among the generals of the Shatuo people, Gaiyu was captured, and many other middle- and low-level generals were either killed or captured.

However, Li Keyong, the leader of Shatuo, as well as Li Siyuan, Li Sien, Li Siben, plus the generals Kang Chengyi and Xue Tieshan, etc., are all dead and dead.

Although Li Cunxiao insisted that Li Keyong and Li Siyuan had both been injured by his horse lance, even if they escaped for a while, they would definitely not last long and die. But Li Jing still firmly believes that these people will not die so easily.

Li Jing ordered to clean up the battlefield, while sending cavalry to search and hunt down Li Keyong and other Shatuo defeated soldiers, for several days, the last search and capture of more than 100 people, but there is still no whereabouts of Li Keyong and others.

No living person was hit, and no body was found. Li Jing even asked people to row a boat to search for several days in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, but no body was found after the event.

In the end, Li Jing had no choice but to give up the large-scale search, and only handed over this task to the Xiaoqi Division, and asked them to send a team of killers to the Mobei area to chase and kill. Li Jing believes that if Li Keyong is still alive, he will eventually return to Mobei.

Subsequently, Li Jing and Yu Xuan wrote an excerpt of the battle together, reporting the victory to Zheng Congyan in Taiyuan and the Son of Heaven in Chang'an.

"After the triumph of each town, which one do you think is suitable for the envoy of the North Festival? Which of the three tribes is more suitable, Sagar or Anqing or Qibi? Yu Xuan asked Li Jing.

"Teacher, after this battle, it can be said that it is impossible for the Shatuo people to recover without ten or twenty years. However, although the Shatuo people have been eliminated, the teacher is in the Zhenwu Army, and he still has to beware of some Hu people. Whether it is the Helian tribe of Tuyuhun, or the Tuoba tribe of the Dangxiang tribe, or even the Sage, Anqing, Qibi, and even other Zhuhu tribes, they should be careful. I think that the land of Daibei is very important, if possible, it is better to transfer a mainland commander to fill it, and it is not necessary to hand over this important position and territory to the Hu people, the lesson of the Shatuo people is right in front of you. Seeing that the class teacher was about to begin, Li Jing still reminded Xuan a little worriedly. As soon as he left, Yu Xuan Ke would be surrounded by all the soldiers and horses. Li Jing was not interested in this vacancy in the Daibei Jiedu, but after the Shatuo Rebellion, Li Jing really didn't want to see the imperial court hand over such an important territory to the Hu people again.

PS: This time, the people who entered the east of the river to fight Shatuo did fight for a long time. It's finally over, and the protagonist is going back to Dengzhou! (To be continued......)
