Chapter 152 - 7
"Kill--" Wang Tongdeng roared, exerted force with his arms, and overturned a Turkic cavalry to the ground with his horse spear.
Several other Turkic cavalry did not resist and drove the war horses to escape like frightened birds.
The horses fought, one inch long and one inch strong. The horse lance of Xia Kingdom was longer than the spear of the Turks, and even longer than the scimitar. The front end of the horse lance was as sharp as a gun, and the sides were sharp, which could both stab and cut like a spear, as well as a knife. However, it was very difficult for soldiers to practice spears to practice spears. Once they were trained, they were immediately stronger than other weapons. Over the past hundred years, the Turkic cavalry and the Xia Kingdom cavalry have fought many times, and suffered countless losses under the horse lance. When they met the Xia Kingdom cavalry who were good at using horse lances, they often did not want to fight with them in close combat, but instead fled and turned around to shoot arrows. However, in this current situation, the Turkic cavalry forced through the Xia Army formation and were blocked between the Xia Army formation and the Xia Kingdom cavalry. There was no sufficient space to display the arrows, and they could only be chased by the Xia Kingdom cavalry in panic.
"Good King Tongcheng, good tiger general!" Zhang Shanfu nodded slightly under the flag of the Central Army's general.
Xu Wenhu nodded, Wang Tongdeng was one of the cavalry he valued the most. He soon frowned again. After seeing Wang Tongdeng leading the second army of Huamao to plagiarize the Turkic cavalry on the right wing, he not only did not take advantage of the victory to withdraw the troops, but instead kept chasing them. The Xia cavalry kept urging the horses. Once they caught up, the horse lance would directly rush to the enemy's back. However, seeing that thousands of Huamao cavalry were about to pursue the main formation of the Sudan army. The opposite side could no longer hold back. The Turkic army rushed out from the central army and the left wing. On the one hand, it prevented the Xia cavalry from rushing directly into the main formation, and on the other hand, it would surround the lonely army. Just as the narrow battlefield distance limited the turn arrows of the Turkic cavalry, the narrower battlefield not only restricted the speed of the war horses, but also restricted the Xia cavalry to use horse lances. In the cavalry between horses and people, the power of the scimitar would greatly increase.
"This guy..." Xu Wenhu frowned his eyebrows and stared at the front, "My cavalry!"
At the last moment, Wang Tongdeng stopped the front army from rushing into the trap opened by the Turks, and barely retreated before falling into the other party's siege. "This reckless bastard! It seems that he never knows how to write the word "death!" It was not until Wang Tongdeng retreated back to the formation safely that Xu Wenhu breathed a sigh of relief without any worries. Looking at Zhang Shanfu beside him, he couldn't help but snorted hard again.
"If Wang Tongden cherishes his life, he will not be able to give him the comments of the first brave general in Anxi." Zhang Shanfu said with a smile.
"It's a pity that this kid doesn't know how to plan before moving," Xu Wenhu said in a deep voice, "I can't get into your eyes."
On the eve of the decisive battle of the army, the supplies and food behind were not available, which made Xu Wenhu very angry. However, Zhang Shanfu did not sit leisurely on the iron cliff, but instead tried his best to allocate the food and food. Not only did he use the secret stakes of the Marine Department and the Military Information Department that were originally ambushed by the Baiyi Dynasty, he also ordered Li Sihai to discuss with the Baiyi Dynasty tribe to raise supplies for the Xia army. He himself took a group of marching commanders and escorted the raised food and grass to stabilize the morale of the army before the Great Wall. He was facing this decisive battle.
"Don't worry, I won't interfere in the battlefield decision. Your General Xu is an Anxi tiger. At most, the war is unfavorable. I'll just cut off the rear for you."
Zhang Shanfu half-jokingly said. Although he had the title of commander of the Western Expedition Army, he believed that he could not be as familiar with the Anxi Army and the Turkic Army. Moreover, Zhang Shanfu always regarded himself as a "general" and was unwilling to compete for merit. However, Xu Wenhu heard it, but frowned again: "Hmph, the Anxi Army Office does not need to cut off the rear of the army. By the way, what was the matter with those who were bullshit behind? Even the food and grass in the army could be caused by the army. Are you not afraid of playing with fire?"
"Some people always think they are better than others." Zhang Shanfu shook his head and turned his head, "Rom Sultan is a little weird!"
"Yes." Xu Wenhu said in a deep voice, looking up at the front.
The Turkic cavalry on the left wing failed to copy it and retreated again. The Turkic cavalry on the front still ran tirelessly.
Xu Wenhu had a gloomy face and watched the Turkic cavalry performing riding skills in front of the Xia Kingdom's formation.
The Turkic army and the Xia army had been fighting for so long, and they knew each other's background. The Anxi artillery artillery skills were poor, unable to aim at sparse, extremely fast, and had constantly changing directions. Sporadic artillery shells were not as powerful as those of the crossbow camp. Therefore, the Turkic cavalry wandered back and forth at the edge of the range of the Xia army's large formation, occasionally entering the range of the bow and arrow, shooting a quick arrow, and running away from the distance. In the cold weather, this kind of action of wasting horsepower in vain and not launching decisive attacks was not so much harassment, but rather delaying time.
"I will order the formation to push forward. Wang Tongdeng will take his men to detour behind the Turks. Investigate the situation and don't fight!"
Xu Wenhu ordered in a deep voice, and the flag officer rode a horse and quickly passed the general order. Not long after, the drum sounded, and the central army formation composed of 40,000 Xia army infantry moved forward. The cavalry behind the central artillery tower also boarded the horses. Some slowly advanced on both sides of the infantry formation, and the other part was stationed in place. Wang Tongdeng led thousands of cavalry to bypass the formation and galloped directly to the northwest.
The Xia army formation seemed to launch a decisive battle, which made the Turkic cavalry a little panicked, and the Turkic cavalry that were raiding the raids retreated one after another.
At this time, the Turkic Sultan's formation also loosened, and there were also noises among the Turkic cavalry and infantry. Due to artillery, the two armies were separated by a thousand steps. When the Anxi Army was less than halfway ahead, the Rom Turkic army suddenly defended and attacked. Not only did the cavalry waving scimitars and rushing over, but even the infantry rushed forward with various flags. The iron hooves of tens of thousands of war horses hit the ground with iron hooves and shouts chaoticly intertwined into a chaotic circle. In the eyes of the infantry vanguard of the Xia Army's formation, it seemed that the heaven and earth were filled with Turkic cavalry, and even the tens of thousands of Turkic infantry following the cavalry were completely invisible. No one, including veterans who had been through many battles, was not shocked by this scene.
"The left brigade general led the Modao team to the battlefield, and the two wings of the cavalry were unfolded, preparing to encircle the enemy's retreat."
Xu Wenhu ordered with a gloomy face, and Zhang Shanfu also frowned and sighed in his heart: "What a pity."
"Get out!" Yu Boyan shouted loudly, raising his right fist. His body, which was wearing fifty kilograms of armor, was as tall as an iron tower. Three thousand Mo Dao Hands, the sergeant standing at the farthest could see Yu Boyan's gestures clearly. Under the command of the captain and the captains of each team, he stepped neatly. Mo Dao Hands' blade was six feet long and the handle was three feet long. Among the infantry soldiers selected by Mo Dao Hands, he had the highest body and long arm and extraordinary strength. Once such a warrior waved Mo Dao, there would be a cold light around him, and the blade would be invincible.
The people and horses on the opposite side are broken. Therefore, the Modao team does not have to form dense formations like the spear formation, but can be arranged in relatively sparse formations. Each Modao hand is nearly ten feet away from the front, back and left, so that Modao can wield it. When the war horses rushed over, the Modao hand also has room for dodging, and unlike the spearman, they can only force the galloping horse. When the sergeant needs rest or the enemy heavy armored cavalry rushes to the formation, the Modao hand is arranged in a dense array, which looks like a copper wall from a distance.
"Come on." Zhang Shiqing looked at the war horse galloping from a distance through the iron window of the mask, holding the Mo Dao tightly.
The martial arts that he had been practicing hard for more than ten years was waiting for this day. Zhang Shiqing was in a small peasant family and grew taller than other children since childhood. His parents also realized this with great joy. They would rather save money than let him eat enough food since he was a child and work hard to maintain his energy every day. Finally, when he was twenty years old, he passed the selection of soldiers in one fell swoop, and two years later he joined the Modao Camp and glorified his ancestors.
"Come on, come on." Zhang Shiqing looked at the cavalry getting closer and closer and swallowed.
Although these Modao Hands were tall and covered with heavy armor, they had a sparse formation of three thousand people, and their pace was slightly faster, and they formed a prominent part on the left wing of the Xia Kingdom formation, which immediately attracted many Turkic cavalry to turn around and rush over. The cavalry suddenly had such a "weakness" on the originally indestructible left wing of the Xia Army formation. For Modao Hands, using a loose formation to fight against the horses is the most common daily training, while for the Turkic cavalry and most nomadic cavalry, Modao Hands is not like
The cavalry of Xia Kingdom is so common. The Turkic cavalry whistled wildly. They greeted their companions like wolves. The cavalry behind could not see the situation ahead clearly and knew that they could only urge the horses to rush towards the group of heavy armored infantry that seemed to be ordinary. Although the horses were fast, they would instinctively hold weapons. Most of the Turks loved war horses. If they were not strict orders, they would not drive war horses to rush to the infantry. They just used the speed of horses. When the people and horses were wrong, the cavalry would wave their heads with a scimitar.
A war horse rushed towards him, and Zhang Shiqing could see the grim smile on the other person's face clearly, and he took a deep breath.
"Hao—"
It was soon enough. When the horse's head was two steps away from the left, Zhang Shiqing moved half a step to the right, barely avoiding the remnant force of the war horse. The Mo knife in his hand waved to the left at the same time. The six-foot-long blade brought a cold wind to the side of the Turkic cavalry. In an instant, the war horse swept past him with a strong wind. With an inaudible "wow", the cavalry on the horse was cut into two sections by the Mo knife, and the neck of the war horse was also cut with a huge hole, but the remnant force still allowed it to continue to rush for a few steps. When it reached the second row of Mo Dao Hands, a long knife mark was scratched. After the war horse rushed past the three rows of Mo Dao Hands, two scary wounds left on its neck and abdomen, and blood flowed all over the ground. The horse was twisted and twisted a few times, and its four hooves softened, and fell to the ground whimperingly.
