Chapter 552 A bloody battle

The cavalry of the Khitan, Marine, Xi, Shiwei, Sihu tribes, whistling and rolling like a tide. The horses' hooves rumbled like thunder, the long swords shining, and white fur coats flying all over the fields, with the yellow-brown floating rolls, with the nomadic fishing and hunting nations, screaming and killing.

Mai Tiebang personally led his troops to fight and had a head-on battle with the Hu cavalry outside the pass.

At this moment, the sound of cavalry rushing to the fields, like a mountain collapse and the earth cracks.

"Puff puff puff--"

The blood column was sprayed and rolled. Some people were pierced by a spear, and they were knocked back and screamed in the air.

Some soldiers were injured and landed on the ground, but were soon flooded by dense horse hooves, and they were directly trampled into blood and blood.

The cavalry on both sides had their own formations, but after getting close, they fell into a fierce battle at the confrontation and joined each other, weakening the rear formation. The impact of the war horses was no longer effective.

Gao Shengtan sent a spy to find out that Luo Cheng's army was two miles away, and he was moved and ordered the entire army to suppress it. If the cavalry could be surrounded and completely annihilated, then the 20,000 to 30,000 Sui troops behind would be no match for them at all.

"Press up the infantry formation!"

Gao Panlong and Gao Panhu were two brave tiger generals selected by Gao Shengtan among the descendants of the Gao family. They were responsible for each leading 15,000 troops and surrounded them. Gao Shengtan's central army was 20,000, and they advanced forward and wanted to swallow up more than 20,000 cavalry of the Sui army.

At this time, Mai Tiebang ordered the cavalry to retreat in batches, and retreated like a wave. For example, the cavalry that had not yet fought at the end were first to retreat, gathered into a new formation half inside and outside, and then when the hurried cavalry on the front line retreated, they rushed forward and blocked the chasing cavalry.

After repeating this three times, the Sui army had retreated to Luo Zhaoyun's infantry formation and joined forces with thousands of elite cavalry of the commander.

At this time, the Hu clan cavalry formation rushed over, all excited, thinking that they had suppressed each other and beat the Sui cavalry to the point of running away with their heads.

"Kill--"

"Kill all the Sui army--"

The Hu clan knights roared everywhere, fighting in scattered battles, and no formation was seen.

At this moment, on both sides of the Sui army's phalanx, there were three sounds of bronze drums, and several red jungles suddenly stood up among the shallow trenches several miles wide. It turned out that the trenches had been dug here, covered with grass leaves, and crossbow archers were hiding inside, so that no scouts of the Northern Qi army could appear.

With a neat shout: "Let it go—"

Then he saw thousands of red arrow shafts pounced out in a sharp whistle. This wave was just like this, but four red arrows were shot, and they immediately crouched on the arrow and squeezing the crossbow. The second one stood up and shot. After this, the four powerful crossbows were fired one after another, and the rain of arrows roared continuously and poured out without interruption.

The front and two sides were added to the front, and the Hu cavalry formation was shot at the Hu tribe formation at the same time, shooting from three sides, which immediately caused the cavalry of the Hu tribes of the four foreign countries to suffer. The people were raised and the horses were overturned, and the momentum of charge was suppressed in an instant.

"Swish swish swish!"

The arrows broke through the sky, like a layer of black raindrops pouring down. Each round of arrows caused at least hundreds of knights to land, with great casualties.

These Hu clan cavalry did not have iron armor or shields, and they were all wearing leather armor. Some even had half-barbaric arms and did not have enough defense, so they were fast, fierce, accurate and passive when facing the direct-shooting crossbow machine in the Central Plains.

Even if they took off their bows and arrows to fight back, the Hu clan knights only used the power of their arm bows to shoot arrows, and they became a flying shape outside seventy or eighty steps. They also led the bows and raised the arrows. There were certain intervals for archers on the three sides. Because the archers on the three sides were too scattered, they were indeed difficult to shoot arrows on the horse's back and shooting relatively hidden and scattered ambush crossbowmen.

The sudden sharp long arrows are rushing like storms and rainstorms, and you can kill the horse head and the human body, and you will be pierced to death. There are even people with people and horses nailed together and fall to the ground. The crossbow arrows are powerful.

The Khitan, Marine, and Xi cavalry had to stop and temporarily retreated, stopping the momentum of continuing to charge, waiting for reinforcements from the Northern Qi army behind.

Because the Northern Qi army has nearly 10,000 archers, they can shoot and suppress each other to cover the cavalry's charge.

Gao Shengtan held a pure iron extended horse spear. He once became a monk and learned martial arts in the temple. Although it was not authentic to Shaoshishan, he still practiced some of the unique skills that were spread to major temples in Shaolin.

The Arhat Mastery, the Great Wei Tuo Pestle, the Demon-Subduing Spear, etc. are all practiced. They are soft in the horse spear, and can be stabbed or chopped, with extremely powerful power.

"Luo Cheng, dare to fight in front of the formation and kill you on the horse on the spot." Gao Shengtan was wearing golden armor and majestic. At this time, he had already taken out a golden mask from his backpack. He wanted to follow the example of Gao Changgong, the King of Lanling, the war god of Northern Qi, and lead troops like a god.

Luo Zhaoyun was in the distance, staring at Gao Shengtan and the Northern Qi army formation a hundred steps away, and smiled coldly, and entered his plan. Next, there would be a bloody battle.

The role of conspiracy and intrigues in the face of absolute strength varies from time to time. In many cases, the key to using military tactics and conspiracies is to be combined with one's own combat power. Otherwise, the army will be weak and no matter what strategy is used, it will not be able to defeat the enemy.

"Beat the drums and roars, prepare to suppress the rebels--"

"Suppress the rebels!" The Sui army was as powerful as a rainbow. Under the leadership of Marshal Luo, they all had a sense of blind worship. Because of the past achievements, the soldiers were confident that they could still win more with less this time. Therefore, no matter whether they were new or veterans, they were afraid.

"Woog-Woog-Woog--"

A large red flag with the character "Luo" was swung rapidly, and the war drums rumbled and loud. The cavalry of the former army after the formation was re-formed, under the command of generals such as Mai Tiebang, spread the conical formation, and the sound of killing shocked the world and rushed into the cavalry group mixed with Hu tribes and Northern Qi troops.

Seeing this, Gao Shengtan immediately shouted: "Attack on both sides and penetrated into the Sui army's infantry formation."

He intentionally sent out his left and right wings to kill from both sides of the battlefield where the cavalry rushed, and directly attacked the sides of the Sui army. Then Gao Shengtan led two thousand cavalry and twenty thousand infantry from the front to advance, and wanted to pass through the cavalry battlefield and attack the Sui army's square formation from the front.

"Prepare for the fight!"

Luo Zhaoyun was not urgent, and his expression was calm and composed. When his military orders came, the infantry formation also rumbling and slowly stepped forward. This was the preparation for the battle, moving forward like a mountain, slowly moving forward, condensing murderous aura.

"Transfer the order, send troops from the west!"

The messenger fired a arrow and blew a special trombone.

A thousand elite cavalry lurking in the western entrance heard the order and immediately went to fight. They rushed out from the valley entrance. The sound was so powerful that the smoke and dust rolled. The right-wing team of the Northern Qi army's infantry charged from the side was inserted into the Northern Qi army's infantry charge, which was stunned by the soldiers of the Northern Qi army's revival. Now that the Sui army had an ambush, the morale was immediately affected.
