Chapter 975: Fighting for Life and Death without Sadness
The team led by Zhang Xiaosong changed horses again with three miles left.
The other horses were left with someone to lead them, and nearly eight thousand horsemen rushed directly.
Dozens of riders rushed to the front, then suddenly stopped, took out a lighter, lit the torch, and then jogged, holding the torch to the side.
People behind passed by, and the rocket flicked on the torch, ignited, and accelerated.
The white-clothed Dashi had just finished gathering, and before they had time to divide their troops, Datang's army came into range.
With the force of the impact, the rocket rocketed into the sky.
Some of the rockets landed in the crowd, some landed in front of the big man-eater, and one landed on... the balsam grass.
Several others landed directly where the explosive packets were.
‘Boom~~Boom~~’ After a burst of rocket fire, the Tang cavalry immediately circled diagonally, not intending to rush in, but the explosive pack exploded.
One explosive charge after another stirred up the earth and gave off a glow of fire.
‘Neigh, neigh, neigh…’ The horses were frightened and started running in panic.
They collided with each other, raised their front hooves, were so frightened that their legs fell down, opened their mouths to bite the horse next to them, and other behaviors that frightened the horse.
The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty divided their troops and circled, threw away their crossbows, replaced them with bows, and fired arrows continuously.
"Three battalions, follow me." Zhang Xiaosong shouted, and the messenger followed suit and directly designated which battalion.
This is considered a strengthened battalion, with one thousand men per battalion.
Three thousand people were separated and regrouped three or four miles away.
"Echelon attack, each batch of 500 people, drill through." Zhang Xiaosong shouted again.
The cavalry automatically divided into groups, and with the light of the enemy's torches, one team after another bent their bows and charged forward.
At the distance of the bow and arrow, there was first a shower of arrows, then he put the bow on his back, drew out his scimitar and charged in.
They kept urging their horses, not caring about the enemy's position. They just dug through and cut with the enemy's scimitar when they encountered it.
They were used in actual combat for the first time and had never been played before.
Li Yi taught this, and this is what the Mongolian cavalry did after that, charging in echelons, first raining arrows, and then piercing them.
Penetrate through, run some distance, go back, and do it again.
Now the Tang cavalry has put the training content into use, using this tactic to divide the troops and not give the enemy a chance to gather.
This was the first time that Baiyi Dashi encountered this tactic. The horse was frightened and they were also killed and confused.
The soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers, so there is no way to coordinate.
Zhang Xiaosong's echelon had not been completely used up, and the white-clothed soldiers collapsed.
Run, no more fun.
Those who couldn't escape were rounded up and killed, and the horses didn't cooperate at all with their masters, who were dressed in white and feasting on food.
After being broken up, the cavalry pursued them, and the two thousand men with horses behind them separated and led a dozen horses to follow.
The horse dressed in white and well-fed could not even reach one or two riders, and the horse was attacked by surprise when it was tired and eating grass to rest.
The same goes for people. They have just eaten something and before it can be digested, the blood is concentrated in the stomach and the fatigue from the journey has not recovered.
Now in a state of excitement, running around like a headless fly.
The fighting and pursuit continued until dawn.
Then the fighting did not stop. At dawn, the Tang cavalry changed their horses and still pursued them.
These ten thousand people were the soldiers who had followed Zhang Xiaosong to conquer hundreds of cities. As long as Zhang Xiaosong led them, their combat effectiveness would explode.
It is a kind of arrogance that I am better than you, and it is easy for me to defeat your will.
After defeating hundreds of cities in a row, how fast is the pace of the attack? Now hunt down individuals and keep an eye on them unless you surrender.
When it was completely bright, the horses that had lost their owners found their own grass and stopped running.
Corpses dressed in white were lying on the ground, and many people died with their eyes open.
While the chase is still going on, the horse has caught up and you can change horses to chase.
Even if the white-clothed man stabbed the horse in the butt with a knife, the horse would still be unable to run, and would eventually fall to the ground, dead from exhaustion.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who did not chase them gathered the bodies of their own people together and prepared to take them back.
More than 4,000 Dashi prisoners were digging pits with knives there to bury their dead. Next to them were soldiers from the Tang Dynasty raising crossbows to guard them.
"Break the dead horse into pieces and carry it back to the captives. If it's too late, the horse's flesh will be spoiled, and we'll kill him."
Zhang Xiaosong had an expressionless face, not looking at his dead brothers, nor caring about how many enemies died.
Today, there is almost no resistance in Baiyi Dashi, so he can become a prisoner.
If too many of his brothers die, the cannibal will resist fiercely and kill all the prisoners.
Just like he did two years ago, he attacked hundreds of cities in succession, and when he finally encountered resistance, he slaughtered the city after it was broken.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who survived did not look sad. They were also working hard. How could they not die in the war?
Life and death are fateful, maybe next time, you will fall down by yourself.
There is no need for others to cry, as long as one's own family can receive enough pension.
Only by fighting for one's life and killing the enemy out of fear can there be peace.
Moreover, the deceased brother's family will live a good life. In addition to the normal pension, there will also be more extra money from His Majesty.
At noon, all the pursuers returned, taking the bodies of the two hundred-year-old brothers and the captured enemy horses with them, and headed back.
There were more than 6,000 prisoners. They buried their dead men and moved forward carrying the blood-shedding horse meat on their backs.
They dare not slow down, otherwise they will be killed.
Some people fell down while walking, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty would make up for it with a knife, while others continued to hold the things and move forward.
A cavalry team marched out for dozens of miles, then raised a hot air balloon and continued to observe.
An hour later, the people on the hot air balloon made a signal, and the people on the ground received it and forwarded the situation to Zhang Xiaosong.
"Leave two thousand people to guard it and send it back. The others will follow me."
Zhang Xiaosong received the news, regardless of fatigue, he said hello and led the team to leave quickly.
The people on the hot air balloon discovered that the Anxi Protectorate and the people led by Sulu were fighting dozens of miles away. It was considered a scout battle.
Scouts from both sides kept joining in, resulting in a small-scale war involving hundreds of people versus hundreds of people.
Scouts from both sides ran in circles and fired arrows, while another scout ran back to report the news.
In other words, there are main forces on both sides.
Zhang Xiaosong found another opportunity, he wanted to cover the battlefield.
Use your own people as scouts, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net and kill all the scouts of Sulu's Tuqishi Division.
Let Sulu become blind, and if more than 7,000 troops led by him are wandering on the periphery of the battlefield, Sulu will cry, and they will be unable to advance or retreat.
More than 7,700 cavalrymen, each with three riders, were watching.
You say he is the main force, right? He is not. The main force is the army of the Anxi Protectorate, with infantry.
You said he is not the main force, he can penetrate your formation from any place at any time, and he will chase you if you run away.
Who wouldn't be dumbfounded when a troop with strong combat effectiveness suddenly appears?
This is what Zhang Xiaosong wants to do. Needless to say his commanding ability, he has already destroyed the country for others.
A group of people rushed over, the general holding a telescope.
Naturally, the Anxi Protectorate also has telescopes, including scouts.
There were obviously more Tang Dynasty scouts on the battlefield than Sulu scouts. This was because the Tang Dynasty scouts had telescopes and could react first.
