Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Zhai Zhangsun lost consciousness on half of his face in an instant, but when he was about to get up, he realized that there was a big puddle of sticky things on the ground. Although the six or seven hundred cavalrymen would bleed a lot when they fell down, Zhai The eldest grandson is very clear that this is not blood, but fierce fire oil.

Zhai Changsun shouted in full force: "No, back quickly!"

At this moment, densely packed torches sounded from the cliff of Longmen Mountain, and dozens of large fireballs burning with flames roared towards the bottom of the canyon.

At this time, Li Shimin had already rushed to the half of the canyon, and was watching dozens of fireballs about three feet flying towards the bottom of the canyon.

It turned out that as early as when all the Xuanjia cavalry entered the Longmen Canyon, there were more than [-] barrels of Zheng soldiers secretly ambushing on Longmen Mountain and Daqing Mountain, and more than [-] catties of stone fat water (that is, crude oil) were poured on the ground. exit of the canyon,

In fact, more than 25 catties is not much, but it is equivalent to more than [-] tons.These stone resin waters are from when Yang Guang was in Luoyang, the eastern capital, and built a workshop for producing ink in the East Palace.At that time, this kind of stone resin water became the main raw material for ink making due to the large smoke. If it was at its peak, Luoyang City actually had no less than [-] barrels of stone resin water, but now the stone resin water is less than two of the original inventory. One tenth.

However, only one-twentieth of this stone resin water was poured into the Longmen Canyon, and quickly formed a wall of fire that was as wide as the canyon and stretched more than a hundred steps.

The burning of 25 tons of crude oil set off a fire head tens of feet high, which can be clearly seen tens of miles away.

Almost a thousand Xuanjia cavalrymen were engulfed by the ruthless fire. These Xuanjia cavalrymen let out miserable screams. Li Shimin secretly thought that something was wrong when he saw the fire ahead.But when Li Shimin came to the valley, he was still shocked by this ruthless wall of fire. There was no way to rescue the soldiers who were caught in the sea of ​​fire.

The flames were tens of feet high, and there was an obvious scorching sensation two hundred steps away. Within a hundred steps, there was no way to get close at all. As time went by, the screams of the Xuanjia cavalry in the sea of ​​flames became weaker and weaker.

The disheartened Hou Junji came to Li Shimin with his head downcast.

Li Shimin looked around at the generals, and found that Duan Zhixuan, Hou Junji, and Lei Yongji were all there.But Zhai Changsun is the only one missing.

Li Shimin realized the seriousness of the problem, and bluffed and shouted, "Where is Zhai Changsun?"

Hou Junji and Duan Zhixuan were silent.

Lei Yongji said timidly: "Unfortunate General Zhai..."

Li Shimin felt that it was difficult to breathe, and at this moment, a rumbling sound came.

Li Shimin looked back and saw that Zheng Jun's soldiers were slowly oppressing them.

However, the ones walking in the front were not Zheng Jun soldiers, but two or three hundred chariots.

Li Shimin roared desperately: "Soldiers, my brothers, we are now cut off from the rear, Zheng Jun intends to drive us all to death, what should we do now?"

Cheng Zhijie shouted almost subconsciously: "Fight with the son of a bitch!"

Li Shimin turned the horse's head again, raised the horizontal knife, and slashed forward into the void, shouting: "Fight it!"

"Fight!"

The surviving Xuanjia cavalry turned their grief into strength, galloping their horses and swarming towards Zheng Jun's chariot formation.

PS: I went out to play for a day today, and I came back a little late, there will be more later!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie rushed to the front of the Xuanjia cavalry with their own soldiers, but the oncoming chariots formed a tight formation and rushed towards them with unprecedented pressure.

"kill!"

Cheng Zhijie let out a loud roar, tensed all the muscles in his body, and released his strength in the roar. With a flick of his wrist, the lance in his hand drew an arc and stabbed at the horse driving in front of the chariot.

"Pfft..."

"Pfft..."

The two huge horse heads were stabbed by Cheng Zhijie, and they pierced the horse's head sharply and without delay, disturbing the horse's head, and instantly draining the horse's vitality.Two huge war horses fell to the ground with a plop.

Cheng Zhijie succeeded in one blow, Qin Qiong did not show any weakness, leaned forward slightly, and quickly pulled out four short halberds from the horse's neck chain. These short halberds were no more than four feet long and weighed about eight or nine catties.Qin Qiong holds four short halberds and bows left and right, and the four short halberds are like sharp arrows coming out of the string, flying towards the horses driven by Zheng Jun's chariot soldiers in front.

"Puff...puff...puff...puff"

Four war horses fell down one after another.Cheng Zhijie and Qin Qiong led the Xuanjia cavalry to launch a desperate assault on the Zheng army's chariot soldiers.

Although the Xuanjia cavalry of the Tang army were as imposing as a rainbow, their counterattack encountered unprecedented pressure.If these Xuanjia cavalry are facing Zheng Jun cavalry or infantry, they can rely on their armor to solidify their blades and kill the enemy without leaving any armor. Unless they exhaust all their physical strength, the Xuanjia cavalry will not charge. stop.

However, it was Zheng Jun's two or three hundred chariots that rushed up at this time. Although Cheng Zhijie and Qin Qiong fought hard and destroyed more than a dozen Zheng Jun's chariots one after another, more Zheng Jun chariots and Tang Army Xuanjia cavalry bumped into each other.

There are four people standing on each chariot of the Zheng Army, one driver who drives the horse, one armor head holding a horizontal knife, bow and arrow, and two soldiers holding spears on the left and right.

Before the Xuanjia cavalry had time to hit the enemy's horses, they either fell off the horses with arrows, or were picked off by the spearmen on the chariot with their spears.

The lances and spears in the hands of the soldiers on the Zheng army's chariot are all for the chariot soldiers, and they are thick and long. Each long lance is two feet long, which is about [-] meters.It is even two feet longer than the spears used by infantry.As the saying goes, one inch is long and one inch is strong. In this kind of situation where chariots and cavalry are attacking each other, the strength of Zheng Jun's chariot soldiers is displayed to the fullest.

Cheng Zhijie and Qin Qiong led the Xuanjia cavalry for only a few dozen steps before they felt the unprecedented power. The arrows of the generals of the Zheng army were flying back and forth in the air. Although the Xuanjia cavalry belonged to heavy armored cavalry, They are not afraid of arrows, but their faces, necks, hands, feet, and the eyes of the horses are all weak and weak points. There will always be Zheng Jun's arrows hitting the vital positions of the Xuanjia cavalry like luck, which is even more terrifying. Yes, the chariot slowed down the charging momentum of the Xuanjia cavalry, lost the charge speed, and the Xuanjia cavalry became the target of Zheng Jun's soldiers.

It was found that the bow and arrow were not effective, and almost two or three hundred arrows could barely hit a Xuanjia cavalryman of the Tang army. Wang Shichong really ordered to stop this meaningless attack.Wang Shichong said: "Bring up the bed crossbow and trebuchet, and give me a blast..."

In fact, Wang Shichong was fully prepared to ambush Li Shimin's Xuanjia cavalry.

The 220 eight-ox crossbows stored in Yang Guang's general prison in Luoyang City were all dismantled by Wang Shichong and secretly transported to Longmen Canyon, including more than 150 trebuchets. If Wang Shichong arranged these weapons in the Luoyang City On the city wall, I am afraid that Li Shimin will have to work hard if he wants to conquer Luoyang City.

In history, Li Shimin indeed besieged Luoyang for ten days and stormed, losing more than [-] soldiers and horses, and did not capture Luoyang City at all.But in this time and space, Wang Ren suffered a great loss from Chen Ying's poisonous smoke at Hangu Pass. He reported the news to Wang Shichong.Therefore, Wang Shichong devised such a strategy to lure Li Shimin to underestimate the enemy.

Wang Shichong saw it very clearly. On the surface, Tang Jun was strong and strong, but Li Shimin wanted to express himself very deliberately because of the existence of Chen Ying.In "Sun Tzu's Art of War", it is said that there will be five dangers: if you must die, you can be killed; if you must live, you can be captured; if you are angry, you can be insulted;It just so happened that Li Shimin was hit by "angry speed".Resentment speed means impetuous and aggressive, jumping at the touch of a button, and may be deliberately insulted by the enemy and act recklessly;

Under Wang Shichong's order, the eight-ox crossbows and trebuchets that Zheng Jun ambushed on Daqingshan and Longmen Mountains began to adjust their launch angles. 150 trebuchets and 220 eight-ox crossbows were all aimed at Li Shimin's big Tao.

After hearing the news that Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie's attack had been frustrated, Hou Junji, who was originally cut off, hurriedly said to Li Shimin and Duan Zhixuan: "General Qin and General Cheng's troops are exhausted and cannot break into the car formation. We must break through a bloody road. If you don’t go in, we’ll all die here!”

Li Shimin said: "I'll go!"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and rushed to the front.

However, at this moment.There were bursts of mournful piercing in the sky.

Li Shimin hadn't advanced more than a hundred steps just now, but when he turned his head to look, he broke out in a cold sweat.

I saw that where he was just now, dozens of stone bullets and hundreds of crossbow arrows more than six feet long flew from the air at this time. The man and the horse were nailed to the ground.Dozens of stone bullets even smashed hundreds of Xuanjia cavalry present into bloody meatloaf.

If the bows and arrows of this period are the submachine guns of later generations, then the crossbow is almost an assault rifle, and the bed crossbow and the eight-ox crossbow are almost equivalent to the power of anti-tank guns or anti-aircraft machine guns. The city wall can penetrate three feet, not to mention the armor worn by the cavalry, even the high-manganese steel bright armor that Chen Ying discovered, is also as fragile as paper in front of the bed crossbow.

Li Shimin shouted: "Follow me!"

Li Shimin picked up an iron tire bow, and saw that the arrows shot five or six horses in a row, his strength was raised again, and his speed was also raised again!There are strong winds brought by the galloping enemy chariots and horses everywhere.In addition, there were cold arrows and back arrows. Several times, the bow and arrow almost passed Li Shimin's cheeks, and the skin was burned by less than an inch or two, but Li Shimin didn't even blink.At this moment, his state is probably that if the bow and arrow hit his eyeball, he won't take a blind eye!

As a general, as an outstanding commander-in-chief, Li Shimin knew very well that at this moment, it was meaningless to stay, and it was meaningless to be afraid of death. The more he was afraid of death, the faster he would die.Li Shimin led the Xuanjia cavalry to attack, but did not follow the established target and went directly to the south. In fact, Wang Shichong could easily guess his upcoming destination, so the troops there followed the strongest!

Li Shimin charged, not along a straight line heading south, but like a fish scale, with ripples, and a slanted charge. At this time, it seemed that the heavens favored Li Shimin. He was like a prophet who could avoid the trap set by Zheng Jun at any time. The well kept moving along the subtle "momentum" of the battlefield, and every movement was accompanied by the death of an enemy horse or the overturning of a chariot.

However, although Li Shimin was brave, Qin Qiong was fearless, and Cheng Zhijie was tough, but what they brought was only the casualties of Zheng Jun's soldiers, and did not change the overall situation of the battle.

The Xuanjia cavalry of the Tang army in the Longshan Grand Canyon changed from more than 25 troops to more than [-] cavalry, and now it is less than [-] cavalry.From a valley that is more than [-] miles long, their range of activities has been gradually compressed to [-] miles, [-] miles,
