Chapter 24 The Emperor’s Sword!
At the rear of the Tang Dynasty/army, Li Taiyi saw this scene and nodded with satisfaction.
Although the soldiers who controlled the crossbows had not practiced for a long time and were not proficient enough, it was enough to cause confusion to the Us Tibetans who had no relevant experience.
"Whoosh!"
But at this moment, behind the Uszang array, Huoshu Songren looked indifferent and suddenly raised his right hand.
"Buzz!"
With just such a simple movement, the Uzang cavalry who were killed in a huge rout in front immediately adjusted their breathing, which is enough to show their weight in Uzang.
"Second Charge Troopers attack!"
The vanguard general Ulm took over Huoshu Songren's instructions, suddenly swung his sword, and reached the Tang Army in front, saying in a loud voice.
tread!
The next moment, 40,000 cavalrymen lined up behind them. Their momentum was overwhelming, like a huge fortress as heavy as a mountain.
After they came out of the queue, the 40,000 Wuszang cavalry immediately spontaneously formed several echelon charging formations and rushed towards the Tang army with thunderous momentum.
Uzang's vanguard force, the trapezoidal charge array of three thousand cavalry was already terrifying, but now the charge of the forty thousand cavalry was even more terrifying, magnificent, and its momentum was simply suffocating.
"Organize defense!"
"The tower shield fell to the ground, and its center of gravity tilted!"
"Archers, prepare, cock!"
"The cavalry is ready, listen to my orders at any time!"
…
Seeing this scene, Guo Dingguo looked very solemn and quickly issued a series of orders.
Then there was the sound of a crossbow being drawn, and hundreds of steel tower shields as tall as a person fell heavily to the ground.
On the other side, when the red-bearded general Ulm saw this scene, a disdainful sneer appeared on his lips.
If Tang/Jun only thought that they had just increased their numbers, that would be a big mistake.
"Boom!"
Just when the 40,000 Uzang cavalry were charging to the extreme, a brand new power suddenly burst out from them like a landslide and tsunami.
At this moment, their breath suddenly became extremely heavy, seeming to weigh the earth down.
Looking carefully, around them, shadows floated, and a dome-shaped fortress appeared faintly, looming, like gauze and mist.
At this moment, the pressure brought by the 40,000-strong Uzbek army on the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty increased more than tenfold.
"Fortress Halo!"
In just a moment, boom!
Like a meteorite falling from the sky, the first echelon of more than a dozen Uzang cavalry raised their horses high and slammed down the huge tower shield at the front of the Tang infantry array with their front hooves.
Boom, it was like a thunder exploded between heaven and earth, and the roar of steel resounded through the sky, reaching hundreds of miles!
Where the iron hooves collided with the tower shield, fire and thunder even burst out.
"Buzz!"
The tower shield trembled so much that the jaws of the Tang tower shield soldiers seemed numb.
The violent impact and ferocious breath made even the Tang soldiers at the rear feel uneasy. Their palms were sweating, but if you looked carefully, you could faintly see the tension and... excitement in their eyes.
"How is this going?"
Seeing the motionless bodies of the tower shield soldiers, the Uzang cavalry who were charging forward suddenly looked surprised.
Generally speaking, under such a violent attack, even gold and stone would break apart and turn into powder, let alone the human body. But these infantrymen standing behind the tower shield were all holding their breath silently, their expressions were extremely determined, and their bodies did not move at all.
These tower shield soldiers have undergone special devilish training by Li Taiyi, especially the fierce collisions they suffered from the Tang Dynasty cavalry every day. Although the process was arduous and miserable, it was obvious that the effect was remarkable.
"Second echelon up! Don't stop!"
After the initial shock, new orders quickly came from the rear. Without hesitation, these Uzang cavalry continued to attack. The second wave, the third wave, the fourth wave, and the fifth wave of echelons also came one after another...
Boom boom boom!
One after another, Uzbeg cavalrymen and horses with full bows came one after another.
With thunderous speed, they violently hit these tower shield warriors.
The earth-shattering crashes came one after another without any interval!
Boom boom boom!
The shocking sound of the impact was frightening. Behind more than a dozen tower shields, a famous tower shield warrior's face turned pale and his body was obviously trembling. The jaws of several soldiers even cracked, and blood poured out.
These tower shield warriors withstood the first wave of impact, and then they were immediately hit by the second, third, fourth, and fifth impact. There was no time to rest. Their knees bent, the jaws of the tiger cracked, and the tower The shield trembled violently, the capillaries in the body burst, and the aura under the feet shook... The pressure increased again and again, and the injuries continued to accumulate. The burden on the whole person reached an astonishing height in a short period of time.
The power of cavalry charges is far greater than that of infantry, and this cannot be changed at any cost.
Li Taiyi stood motionless at the rear, just silently observing the battle ahead.
He has tried his best after fighting until now.
Others were beyond his reach.
After all, he only brought 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the real decisive battle still took place between the Longxi Army and Huoshu Songren's Uzang Army.
…
"kill!--"
Wave after wave of shouts of killing resounded through the sky. Under the sky stained red with blood, countless broken flagpoles and corpses of soldiers lay on the ground.
At this moment, the Wuszang cavalry had already charged into the tenth wave, and the excitement in their eyes was getting brighter and brighter.
With every impact, the Uzang cavalry could clearly see that the tower shield soldiers could not withstand the pressure and were pushed back by them. With the impact again and again, the retreating distance became larger and larger.
"Continue to charge and break through their defenses!"
The red-bearded general Ulm held two swords and fiercely cut a Tang infantry in half who was filling the defense holes.
Even if the Tang Dynasty sent soldiers in heavy armor to supplement the tower shield defense, even if it specifically surrounded and killed Ulm, it would not help at all, and no one could even get close to him to cause harm to him.
"Roa!"
Just when Ulm was killing all sides and the Tang Dynasty's defense line was retreating further and further, a dense sound of machine gunfire suddenly reached everyone's ears.
When Ulm heard the sound, he frowned and immediately looked over.
"It's a crossbow!"
"Be careful to avoid!"
In an instant, all the Wuszang cavalry looked fearful and fearful, and their formations quickly changed.
These magical weapons that had never been seen on the battlefield left a deep shadow of terror and psychological pressure on them.
"Roa!"
But they changed quickly, and the crossbows fired faster.
In just an instant, the crossbows were launched, and the Uzang cavalry who were still changing their formations all looked panicked, and the charge route was suddenly confused. The originally extremely fast trapezoidal charge array also became chaotic.
However--
"Where's the arrow?"
He didn't see the scene he expected, nor did he see any arrows, not even the miserable howl of being hit by the arrows. For a moment, a man named Wuszang Iron Cavalry was stunned.
Even Ulm, the red-bearded general leading the team at the front, looked stunned.
But soon, when he saw the relieved expressions of the shield soldiers of the Tang Tower, Ulm immediately reacted, veins popped up on his forehead, and he became furious.
"Asshole! It's actually an empty crossbow!"
Ulm looked at the rear of Tang's army and became furious.
He never expected that the Tang people would use their psychological shadow of Che Nu to deceive.
"Hmph, is Guizhou Donkey exhausted? Kill!!"
After getting angry, Ulm sneered and immediately gave orders.
Obviously, Datang had been pushed to the limit, otherwise, such methods would not have been used. Although the pressure on the shield soldiers of Datang Tower was relieved for a moment, it was also revealed that Datang's crossbow arrows had been exhausted. .
——These terrifying crossbows can no longer threaten them!
"Boom!"
Following Ulm's order, the vast Uzang army charged again.
…
"Wang Haibin, follow me to attack."
However, just behind the Tang Dynasty array, no one noticed. Li Taiyi, who had been standing motionless on his horse, flashed his eyes and suddenly spoke.
Just when Ulm ordered the army to attack again, even he himself was probably unaware that there was a flaw in Wu Zang's army that Li Taiyi had been waiting for for a long time.
——Ulm was wrong on one point.
That air crossbow shot was not to relieve the pressure on the tower soldiers, but was used by Li Taiyi to further induce chaos in the Uzang army.
"yes!"
After receiving Li Taiyi's order, Wang Haibin said loudly.
"Hooves clatter!"
Soon, Li Taiyi immediately led a group of 5,000 soldiers and horses to kill the Uzbek army on the battlefield with great momentum.
"boom!"
With Li Taiyi's expedition, the atmosphere of the entire battlefield changed suddenly.
The Tang side seemed to be inspired, the tower shield soldiers became more immobile, and the archers in the back row seemed to shoot more accurately.
Uzang on the other side has also become more passionate, because for them, if they kill a royal family, their military exploits will be greatly improved.
"kill!"
At this time, when Ulm saw Li Taiyi suddenly appearing on the battlefield, a trace of cruelty immediately appeared in his eyes, and he immediately led a group of soldiers and horses to rush in the direction of Li Taiyi.
However, it was too late, and just as the Uzang cavalry rushed towards Li Taiyi, a golden light suddenly jumped out from the Tang army, like a golden giant sword, sweeping the Uzang army across the board. The waist is broken.
At that moment, Uzang's army was reduced by a thousand people.
All the Wu Tibetans who saw this scene were stunned and speechless.
No one knew what it was, but everyone knew that it was from the Tang Dynasty Prince Li Taiyi. ——The golden light finally disappeared from Li Taiyi's hand.
And this powerful golden light is the emperor's sword.
