Chapter 152 - 8

"call--"

The war horse rushed by with strong wind, and Yu Boyan turned his head slightly to avoid the cavalry that was slashing across.

He just swept the Mo Dao under the horse's hooves, which is also called the sword rod. In order to avoid its four hooves, the war horse was forced to jump up. Before it landed, a soldier's Mo Dao pointed directly under the horse's belly. Yu Boyan did not see how the sergeant behind him broke the war horse's belly. As a Mo Dao General, he stood at the forefront of the Mo Dao Array, just like many of the strongest Mo Dao Hands in the army. The front row of the Mo Dao Hands not only had to bear the first and most powerful first wave of impact of the cavalry group, but also had to make a judgment in an instant.

The formation is also sparse. When the two armies meet, every moment is a one-on-one duel between Modao Hand and the cavalry, and every moment is a choice between life and death. The first row of Modao Hands must choose the way of fighting based on the strength of the opponent, rather than head-on. For powerful cavalry, the first row of Modao Hands is just a harassment, reducing the opponent's horse speed, or creating obstacles, creating opportunities for Modao Hands in the back array. When dealing with relatively weak cavalry, the first row of Modao Hands will choose to kill them one by one.

The smoke and dust from the war horses covered the battlefield. Yu Boyan frowned and stared at the shaking figures not far away.

The smoke and dust made him unable to see the horses in the distance. The dust on the battlefield was a double-edged sword. The cavalry drove the horses to come and go neglectedly. When the attack came, Mo Dao Shu's reaction time was shorter. However, for the experienced Mo Dao Shu, the smoke and dust created by the horses were more beneficial to them, but this made Mo Dao Shu's figure loom in the dust, and the cavalry in the back row could not see clearly what was happening ahead.

A war horse slowly passed by, and the cavalry seemed to have rushed to Yu Boyan by chance.

"Hey—" Yu Boyan roared a tiger, took a step forward, and the six-foot long blade swept away like the wind.

With a "wow--" sound, the war horse's neck was almost half-halfed by Mo Dao. Blood gushed out, almost pouring Yu Boyan into a blood blade. The headless war horse knelt down on both knees. The Turkic cavalry caught off guard and fell to the ground with the war horse, looking dead. A Mo Dao Hand was about to step forward and make up for a knife, but he was not afraid of a Turkic cavalry rushing behind him. Mo Dao Hand had almost no time to reflect. The cavalry's long spear tip reached the back of the heart. The spear took advantage of the force of the war horse and almost brought Mo Dao Hand, who was heavily armored, to the ground, and deeply pierced the armor. The Turkic cavalry took advantage of the situation and threw away the handle of the spear, pulled out the scimitar, and drove the horse to the side.

"Hu——" A war horse flew past Zhang Shiqing, and the scimitar swept over his head.

Almost at the moment of life and death, he was shocked and almost subconsciously dodged. The blade wiped the iron helmet. Zhang Shiqing was dry and a war horse rushed out of the smoke and dust. However, the cavalry did not seem to pay attention to the Mo Dao Hand on the ground, and did not drive the war horse to do any dodge. Zhang Shiqing dragged the sword stick on the side of the war horse. The cavalry's leather armor on his legs was easily cut open. The Turks screamed and fell off the horse. A Mo Dao Hand on the left took his life. At this time, sweat flowed down Zhang Shiqing's spine, but he had no time to frighten and no time to reminisce about the moment of life and death just now.

A war horse hit his eyes, and Zhang Shiqing let out a low voice and stepped forward with a knife.

The originally complete cavalry formation has become incomplete after passing through the series of Modao formations.

In the rolling smoke and dust, countless orders sounded loudly. Mo Daozhe took a unified step and walked forward calmly, which had surpassed the entire Xia army formation. Behind them, the Turkic cavalry had penetrated deep into the Xia army formation, and countless cavalry were galloping around the battalion square formation. However, the Xia army formation was equipped with heavy armored spearmen and well-trained crossbowmen. Whether it was impact or shooting, the Turkic cavalry could not gain any advantage. They could only drive the war horses in vain, circled around the sergeant square formation over and over again,

The picture found one or two weak links to break through the square formation. However, at close range, the Xia army's crossbowmen did not need to shoot all their bows, so they shot very quickly. The Turkic cavalry wandering in the square formation suffered arrow feathers shot from all directions. People fell into the smoke and dust at all times, but they could not stop the advance of the Xia army's formation. A few Turkic cavalry worked hard and finally penetrated to the flanks and backs of the Xia army formation. However, they were intercepted by the Xia cavalry and had to fight more harder and flee.

As time went by, the sound of artillery from the Xia army gradually became dense, and dark shells continued to fly into the air and landed in the Turkic cavalry rear team. Most of the cavalry convened by the Sultan of Rom came from various tribes. These cavalry had never seen artillery, and had never even heard of gunpowder. They just regarded artillery and shells as devils spraying black smoke. Although they had recited scriptures to protect themselves, wherever the shells passed, they either flew with flesh and blood or shocked a group of people and neighed. The entire battlefield was shrouded in smoke.

In the dust, the back of the central army's formation could be seen clearly. The entire Xia army's infantry and cavalry cooperated to continuously press forward. The Sanqianmo knife hand formed a solid fist on the left wing, not only deeply wedged into the right wing of the Turkic formation, but also began to turn right, destroying the order of the entire Turkic formation from south to north. Under the impact of the flanks, the Turks in the formation were already in chaos. The Xia cavalry opened their two wings from afar, forming a large net, surrounding tens of thousands of Turkic infantry and cavalry.

"The Kanxi Mo Dao Hand is indeed well-known." A great victory is expected. Zhang Shanfu nodded and praised. His voice changed, "However, the firearms on the eastern front are powerful. If the artillery team can advance forward and launch, and even arrange a cannon base to attack the dense enemy with the large formation to the side of the enemy formation, I am afraid that the Turks will have all collapsed at this time." Looking at Xu Wenhu's gloomy face, he said leisurely, "Zhao Xingde of the Firearms Department was originally from Anxi. I heard that General Xu attaches great importance to him. This time, Zhao Xingde led the navy to attack the Dashi princes and met with the Anxi army. He could let him teach Anxi's artillery a lesson so as not to fall behind."

Xu Wenhu snorted, and without saying a word, he looked at the back of the Turkic formation, and two gray-white silkworm eyebrows frowned.

In the west of the battlefield, hundreds of cavalry led by Wang Tongdeng encountered the most fierce resistance. About two thousand Turkic cavalry surrounded a group of high-ranking officials and nobles. When they were retreating west, they were caught by the second army of Huamao. The Turkic cavalry immediately divided more than a thousand cavalry to stop them. Wang Tongdeng realized that he might have caught the big fish. Although the enemy was large and we were few, he rushed over without hesitation.

The smoke and dust rolled, and the two cavalry collided without slowing down. In an instant, countless people fell off their horses.

Under the impact of the Huamao cavalry formed a formation, the Turkic cavalry suffered a great loss. However, unlike usual, the broken cavalry was extremely brave. Even though the formation was scattered and killed and injured, they still held up a scimitar and stopped the Xia cavalry from advancing. Some Turkic cavalry were dispersed by the Huamao army but did not escape. They returned in a whole team. Some Turkic cavalry were injured in war horses, and they were on the spot under the leadership of the officers.

Arraying formations to stop the cavalry of Xia Kingdom from moving forward. With the bravery of Wang Tongdeng and the elite of the Flower Hat Army, they had sacked the power of the nine ox and two tigers. They had just escaped the entanglement of this Turkic cavalry and were about to continue pursuing westwards, and another large group of Turkic cavalry dispersed in the east. When these cavalry met the Flower Hat Army, they thought they had been snatched off the back path. Some of them scattered like birds and beasts, while others rushed towards them like red-eyed trapped beasts, holding a scimitar and spear.

Because of the large number of defeated soldiers, Wang Tongdeng had to order his subordinates to form a round formation to fight the enemy. It was not until the Xia brigade of cavalry came that Wang Tongdeng was able to escape. At this time, news that the Turkic Sultan could not be found on the battlefield. The man who was originally standing under the Sultan's flag, riding a white horse, wearing armor and masks was just the deputy general of the Sultan. After the entire Turkic army collapsed, he ordered the imperial guards to kill the war horses, piled up the war horses and human corpses into camps, and resisted until the last moment. It was not until the soldiers smashed the final resistance, killed the fake sultan, and took off his iron mask, that they discovered the Li Daitao Zombie's plan.

"This coward, even if he abandoned the army, how could anyone be willing to follow him?"

Wang Tongdeng replied in disappointment that although he had won a lot of money, he allowed Sultan Rom to escape from the battlefield.

"Abandon the army?" Xu Wenhu glanced at him and said nothing. Zhang Shanfu asked back: "Who said he abandoned the army? Didn't his substitute fight to the last moment on the battlefield? Have everyone in the Rom Turkic imperial guards been deceived by this deputy general?" He shook his head, looked at Wang Tongdeng who was speechless, and sighed, "If Mesud could let the people close to him die like this, just a little modification, the sacrifice of these people would be enough to clear the shame of leaving the army. Since Mesud had already made plans to abandon the army, he would have to preserve some of his strength. If he refused to fight with us and was in a decisive battle, we would have a headache. If we cannot kill Mesud on the battlefield, we would have to end the war in a short time."

"But..." Wang Tongdeng looked at Zhang Shanfu and was speechless for a moment.

"We are sergeants, not villains hiding from afar and playing conspiracy." Xu Wenhu couldn't see it and rescued him, "Khan City, Hamadan defeated the enemy in two battles. The troops gathered by Mesud were gone for five or six times. Moreover, Hamadan lost, there was no obstacle from here to Baghdad. It took less than a long time for the soldiers to enter Baghdad to spend the winter." He raised his horse whip and waved at a group of Modao's hands sitting in the distance. The warriors immediately cheered. Modao was invincible on the battlefield, but it consumed extremely physical strength. After the battle, the left vanguard general Yu Boyan was almost exhausted. Military law prohibited the soldiers from taking off their armor and resting immediately after the battle. The Modao's hands wore fifty kilograms of armor and sat cross-legged in a circle, and didn't even care about cleaning the battlefield.

On the battlefield, the Xia soldiers were full of morale, and the captured armor and weapons were piled up like mountains, and they captured war horses in groups.

"Enter Baghdad to spend the winter?" Zhang Shanfu said lightly, "Maybe."
