Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Now the three thousand Xuanjia cavalry have been compressed to less than fifteen miles. At this time, the Zheng army's chariot troops are like a deadly rope, strangled around the necks of the Tang army soldiers, suffocating the Tang army soldiers bit by bit.

"Chariots rattling, horses rustling, pedestrians with bows and arrows at their waists, Ye Niang's wife walks to see each other off, the dust does not see Xianyang Bridge..." This is a poem "Soldier Chariots" by Du Fu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty. The Chariot Xia Dynasty began He appeared on the battlefield and quickly became the king of ancient Chinese wars.Even later in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, chariots became the basic factor to measure a country.

From the Shang Dynasty to the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period, chariots have always been the main equipment of the army, and chariot warfare is the main combat method.As for the confrontation between cavalry and chariots, that is a matter of different opinions. In fact, the power of chariots is far greater than that of cavalry, but the speed of chariots is slow, and they do not have the mobility advantage of cavalry. Too high, gradually fading away.

Li Shimin watched the two hundred Zheng Jun chariots roaring towards him, and felt his scalp tingling.If it is in other places, Li Shimin is not afraid of these chariots, he can even use a hundred ways to restrain the chariots. In the space, the chariot's original disadvantage of slow movement was well made up for by this Longmen Canyon.

Li Shimin's face was originally peaceful.Although he is somewhat tough, he is still considered handsome, but at the moment he is scorched into a hideous look. His small eyes are originally narrow and beautiful, and he has fascinated many girls with this. It has a round shape, just like the angry-eyed King Kong in the Buddhist temple!And those hands are covered with blue veins, if someone can look closely, will they think that they are really a pair of human hands?

Li Shimin was already drenched in blood, but not a single drop of blood was his own!This terrifying image of Li Shimin is as if he just crawled out of a pool of blood and flesh. He is really the devil described in the scriptures of various religions. All enemies will be afraid and weak when they see him, and even animals will be killed by him. Overwhelmed!

It's a pity that Zheng Jun still has too many soldiers.To make matters worse, the eight-ox crossbows and trebuchets on both sides of Daqingshan and Longmenshan fired stone bullets or crossbow arrows from time to time.

In the narrow space of Longmen Canyon, Zheng Jun's catapults, each stone bullet can easily take away dozens of Xuanjia cavalry, looking at the Xuanjia cavalry who are regarded as the lifeblood, one by one, fell to the ground with hatred. In the canyon, Li Shimin's eyes were about to pop out, but he couldn't have any opinion on the situation at the scene.

Li Shimin charged more than ten times in a row, but he did not break up Zheng Jun's chariot formation, but was pushed back step by step by Zheng Jun's chariot.

At this moment, Cheng Zhijie fell off his horse with a plop.

Qin Qiong turned pale with shock, and shouted: "Old Cheng..."

Also survived. Now that the Xuanjia cavalry lost their speed, Cheng Zhijie was not hit by the cavalry behind him, and he struggled to get up.Cheng Zhijie grinned and said, "It's okay, my old Cheng has rough skin and thick flesh..."

Qin Qiong took advantage of the firelight to hit the crossbow arrow on Cheng Zhijie's shoulder with a look of commission.The shoulder guard is an important part of the armor, and it is also a place with very strong defense, second only to the chest.But the shoulder pads have now been penetrated by the crossbow, which shows how powerful this crossbow is.

At this moment, Li Shimin rushed to Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie, looked at Cheng Zhijie's injury, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief: "It's so dangerous, one more finger will hurt the bone, and your arm is useless!"

However, Zhu Can was dressed in iron armor, holding a spear, standing in the second row, second row, stepping forward slowly.Zhu Can yelled: "Hold your steps—steady—keep in formation!"

Following his command, the infantry phalanx of the Ogre Iron Armored Legion approached Li Shimin's black cavalry at a slow pace.

Although the Demon Legion is notorious, but denied, this is a very combative army.First row to fight.Zhu Can called out the password: "Kill——!"

The infantrymen of the first row of demon legion all stabbed their spears, stabbing Xue, who was stunned by dozens of Xuanjia cavalrymen, to death on the spot.

Zhu Can ordered again: "Accept—!"

The infantry of the Demon Legion gathered their spears together.

"Enter--!"

The infantry of the demon legion took another step forward in an orderly manner.

At this time, Li Shimin also felt a sense of powerlessness that he had not seen for a long time. The chariots blocked the Xuanjia cavalry's way of breaking out to the south. Unable to dash forward.There are more than [-] Xuanjia cavalry, less than [-] cavalry at this time, and they are compressed within a range of less than ten miles.

Just as Zhu Can led the cannibal demon army to attack from the top of Longmen Mountain to the bottom of the mountain, Zheng Jun on the opposite mountain Daqing Mountain also launched an attack.

Simultaneous attack from three sides, Li Shimin's troops are in jeopardy.

Cheng Zhijie said with a wry smile: "My old Cheng can live and die with His Royal Highness Qin Wang, and this life is not in vain!"

Li Shimin knew that the entire army had lost confidence at this time, and their morale plummeted.But as the backbone of the army, others can despair, but he cannot.

Li Shimin laughed and said: "It's too early to say death, we still have reinforcements, Wang Shichong's son, we are destined to be happy for nothing!"

Qin Qiong was full of doubts: "Do we have reinforcements?"

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

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

Just in the midst of the crisis, only the sound of thick and majestic drums came from the direction of Luoyang City, and a powerful force rushed out rumbled.

The general flag with "Qu Tu" written on one side fluttered in the cold wind, and Qu Tutong went out to fight.Li Yuan has already prepared two powerful deputies for Li Shimin, one is the military minister of the Tang Dynasty, Qu Tutong, a former famous general of the Sui Dynasty, and the other is Chen Ying, a rising star of the Tang Dynasty and a new soldier in the army.

In fact, it is precisely because of Li Shimin's eagerness for quick success.So he didn't use Chen Ying and Qu Tutong. Qu Tutong, like Chen Ying, chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb.Chen Ying led an army of more than [-] troops including the left and right guards of the East Palace and the left and right Siyu to reclaim wasteland and land in Henan Province, while Qu Tutong and Wang Shichong surrendered, Zhang Zhenzhou, Zhang Gongjin, Cui Shu, Yang Qing, Shi Derui and others surrendered , playing chess, drinking, chatting.

As early as Li Shimin was about to lead the Xuanjia cavalry to pursue "Wang Shichong" in person, Qu Tutong told Li Shimin faintly that it was enough to send a good general to pursue Wang Shichong, and he even recommended Zhai Changsun and Hou Junji.However, Li Shimin's mind was full of great achievements in capturing Wang Shichong alive at the time, so he directly vetoed Qu Tutong's opinion.

But when the Longmen Canyon was on fire, Qu Tutong couldn't sit still.He hastily sent scouts to Longmen to investigate the situation, while summoning Shi Wanbao, Wang Junkuo, Huang Junhan and other generals.

When the scouts passed the news of Li Shimin's ambush in the Longmen Gorge to the Beiman Mountain Camp, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and Du Ruhui were all shocked.Qu Tutong, who had been prepared for a long time, calmly ordered an army of [-] to rescue Qin Wang Li Shimin.

One hundred thousand troops came out in full force, and all the officers and men of the Zheng army standing on the city wall of Luoyang looked at Qu Tutong's banner with great attention. King Zheng Guoqi and Shang Shuling Wang Shiyun, who stayed behind in Luoyang, hurriedly sent messengers to inform Wang Shichong.

"Qu Tutong is out!"

Only a quarter of an hour later, the news reached Wang Shichong's ears. Wang Shichong sneered: "Has the old guy come out too? Good! Let him sacrifice the flag first! On the way to hell, let him play the vanguard for Li Shimin!"

Wang Shichong's ruthless words were accompanied by orders, but the battlefield changed irreversibly due to the appearance of Qu Tutong, but at the same time as Qu Tutong's appearance, the army tide surging southward under Qu Tutong's command was like It's like being cut off, the second half can't get in, but the front half can't get incremental support from the rear.

How could Wang Shichong not have expected that Qu Tutong would desperately seek help from Li Shimin?

But he was already prepared.

It is not accidental that Wang Shichong has today's status. He is very smart and proficient in the art of war.Just as Qu Tutong led the Tang army out of the Beimanshan camp, and arrived smoothly all the way around the west city wall of Luoyang. And the oilcloth strips have all been ignited.

These fire bulls all had sharp knives tied to their heads, and they also wore flails with sharp knives on their bodies.

These are more than [-] cattle that Wang Shichong gathered from the entire area around Luoyang.The formation of the Fire Bull Formation was the second gift Wang Shichong gave to Li Shimin.

These fire oxen are much more powerful than Tiandan's fire ox array in history. The farm ox at this time is simply a hedgehog covered with sharp blades.There are five sharp knives in the front corners, and six sharp knives hanging from three flails on the left and right wings. It is simply a huge hedgehog.

More than [-] farm cattle with their buttocks on fire rushed towards the Tang army like crazy.

Seeing these more than [-] fire oxen rushing out of Luoyang City, Qu Tutong closed his eyes in pain. He saw the beginning, but he had already guessed the end.More than [-] fire bulls are so rampant, how many of the [-] soldiers and horses under his command can win?

Changsun Wuji had never seen such a battle formation before. Although he was well trained in the city, he was a little horrified under the three thousand fire bulls rushing together: "Can we stop it?"

Fang Xuanling showed a wry smile. His composure was stronger than that of Changsun Wuji, and he could see it clearly. When there were five or six hundred steps away, the faces of the Tang army officers and soldiers showed deep fear. When facing the test of life and death , The quality of the soldiers will be fully revealed. Fang Xuanling noticed the panic of the soldiers of the Tang Army who were rushing to the front.

"These soldiers have not undergone strict collective training."

Fang Xuanling immediately made this judgment.

This is actually no wonder, as early as when Li Tangting entered the Guanzhong, the Tang army had only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at first, but after joining Li Xiuning's trilogy, the total army was only about 15.After obtaining the three assistants, the Tang army's soldiers and horses broke through 6 horses, but with Li Shimin's defeat in Qianshuiyuan, the Tang army had less than [-] horses left.

However, Li Yuanji's defeat in Jinyang followed, and there were no more than ten of the old troops of the Tang army.Some of these Tang army soldiers have been in the army for no longer than two years, and some have been in the army for a short time, no more than a few months.If the morale is like a rainbow, individual panic.Covered by thousands of galloping horses, you can continue to rush forward for the time being, but what if you suffer a huge setback?

The answer is yes, under the impact of the fire ox array, the soldiers of the Tang Army suddenly became confused. Seeing three thousand fire oxen, carrying the momentum of thousands of horses galloping towards their faces, they will definitely form a kind of situation that they will be killed in a few seconds. The terrifying illusion of being trampled into meat by the hooves of the ox, the maximum impact of the charge of the fire ox array is not bumping, stepping or slashing, but it is scary!

Standing on the military chariot, Qu Tutong leaned forward and held onto the armrest in front of him with both hands. Due to too much force, Qu Tutong's knuckles turned white. It was obvious that he was also very nervous inside.

At this time, the three thousand fire bulls had already rushed closer, and the power of the galloping horses would double the psychological pressure every time they bullied them!

Qu Tutong also became short of breath, as if his heart was about to be crushed!

closer, closer, closer
