Chapter 500 The Battle of Xijing

The Donghu cavalry suffered a blow to the head, and everyone was dumbfounded.Before they could react, the chief general had already issued an order to withdraw troops.

With such a hasty withdrawal, the chaos of the entire army can be imagined. The front and rear teams were crowded together, unable to evacuate quickly, but slowed down the speed of the army's retreat.

At this moment, a heavy rumbling sound came from behind the sweat tent.Then I saw two torrents rolling from both sides, quickly inserted into the sides of the Donghu cavalry, and kept going deeper, intending to cut them off at the middle.

The Donghu cavalry was in chaos, and when the Hengshan cavalry entered, the entire formation quickly disintegrated.

Taluhu's eyes were red, looking at the vanguard soldiers and horses disturbed by the Hengshan Army, he wished he could lead his troops into it to rescue the siege, but he couldn't help it, the whole army was in chaos and it was difficult to command at all.Gritting his teeth, he immediately ordered the rear team to quickly leave the battlefield and gather towards Shuai Qi.

There were more than [-] people in the rear. After hearing the rallying horn, they immediately had a backbone and gathered towards Taluhu.However, the vanguard cavalry surrounded by Hengshan cavalry could not break through the enemy's defense line, and could only resist with difficulty in the chaos.

At this time, Luo Feng, who was leading the army to besiege and kill the enemy cavalry, frowned when he heard the horn of the enemy's assembly. Now his cavalry has only 3 troops. Potential.

Looking at the more than [-] cavalry who were besieged, Luo Feng immediately sent someone to inform Zhang Qian who was stationed in the Khan Tent to send troops to wipe out the enemy as soon as possible.

However, without waiting for Luo Feng's men to go there, the fence was wide open, and tens of thousands of infantry marched in order to kill the Donghu cavalry.

When the trapped Donghu cavalry saw that the sweat tent was wide open, there were still infantrymen who were overwhelmed and came to die. They immediately thought about it, abandoned the Hengshan cavalry, and charged towards the infantry phalanx.

"Archer, shoot!"

The rain of arrows fell into the cavalry formation, and the Donghu cavalry fell off their horses one after another, but they still rushed forward regardless.

"Array, block the enemy."

The shield soldiers and spearmen immediately formed an iron wall with spikes, lying in front of the Donghu cavalry.

"Grenadiers ready, throw!"

A row of grenadiers behind the iron wall quickly removed a fist-sized grenade from their belts, lit the matchlock, and threw it forcefully out of the phalanx.

At this time, the Donghu cavalry were about to hit the shield formation, but they saw countless black spots hitting them.I thought it was some kind of powerful weapon, but I didn't want to. The iron bump hit them, and there was nothing wrong with it other than being hurt.

The Donghu cavalry were overjoyed, they didn't care about these gadgets at all, and turned their energy to the shield formation on the opposite side.

However, when they heard a burst of explosions, many people felt that they were hit by something all over their bodies, and they fell off their horses all of a sudden. When they looked slightly, they saw blood splattered on their bodies, and a piece of iron was deeply pierced into their flesh. .Before he could get up, he was trampled bloody by the horse's hooves behind him.

Since the explosion site was not far from the shield formation, the blasted iron pieces flew in all directions, not only killing and injuring the Donghu cavalry in large numbers, but the shield was also riddled with holes and embedded with fragments.

The cavalry in front were killed and injured by the grenade, and the cavalry in the back continued to advance.In a series of bombings, the remaining cavalry finally reached the front of the formation. Pulling their mounts, the horse neighed and leaped towards the shield formation.

The spear pierced into the horse's belly with one blow, but it broke immediately due to the heavy pressure.The cavalry on the horse jumped off the horse the moment the horse fell, brandishing their sabers and pounced on the Hengshan army who had no time to defend.

There was a sudden chaos in the Hengshan formation, countless spearmen swarmed up, and dozens of spears stabbed fiercely into the enemy's body.After all, there are only a few Donghu cavalry who can enter the formation, although there are still a steady stream of people rushing into the formation.But after the Hengshan army got used to it, they immediately launched a counterattack. As long as they entered the formation, they would face siege from all directions.

Behind the Donghu cavalry, [-] iron cavalry led by Luo Feng had also followed, constantly slaughtering the enemy.

At this moment, Taluhu finally assembled enough troops, and with a burst of passionate horns, [-] cavalry quickly rushed to the chaotic battlefield.

Luo Feng looked back at the dark tide billowing in smoke and dust behind him, thinking inwardly that it was a pity.At this time, there were less than [-] cavalrymen under siege, as long as he was given a little more time, he could swallow them all.

"Evacuate the battlefield!" Luo Feng yelled sharply, and with the sound of the horn, thirty thousand cavalry quickly left the battle and retreated to the north side of the sweat tent.

Without the obstruction of the Hengshan cavalry, the East Hu cavalry who survived the catastrophe did not have the fighting spirit to attack the infantry phalanx, and immediately retreated, wishing to stay away from the terrible hidden weapon.

Seeing that the cavalry retreated, Zhang Qian did not dare to stay for a long time, so he immediately ordered the army to return to the sweat tent and reconnect the fences.

Seeing that the vanguard cavalry retreated at this time, Tarrou was so angry that he wanted to kill them all.If they could persist for a while longer, they would be able to break into the sweat tent and cut off the support of the Hengshan cavalry as soon as the army arrived.

At this time, Taluhu had also seen clearly that there were only 3 Hengshan cavalry returning this time. If he had not ordered the withdrawal at that time, although the army was in chaos, it might not be impossible to reverse the situation.It's a pity that I was too careful at the time, but I missed the opportunity.

With mixed feelings of remorse, Taluhu knew that it was too late to say anything now.With those [-] enemies riding on the side, with only less than [-] troops, it is impossible to win the sweat tent.What worries him even more is that there are still [-] Hengshan cavalry who don't know where they are, if the army is still here.After the enemy army converges, it will be difficult for the army to retreat.

Although he has lost [-] troops, he still has [-] cavalry, plus the [-] garrison in Xijing City, the defense should be more than sufficient.At present, it is better to retreat first and return to the city to stick to it.Taluhu thought to himself, and after making a decision, he immediately ordered the army to stop.Looking at the Hengshan Army who had already made defensive preparations, Taluhu gritted his teeth and roared, "Let's go!"

The Donghu cavalry retreated, and Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief.At this time, the men and horses were exhausted, and it was impossible to pursue them.However, this battle wiped out more than [-] Donghu riders in one fell swoop, which can be described as a great victory.

"The whole army rests on the spot for two hours." Luo Feng got off his horse and ordered the soldiers.

After a while, Zhang Qian came over from the sweat tent, smiled and cupped his hands towards Luo Feng and said, "General Luo, it's really a pleasure to wipe out [-] enemy cavalry in this battle."

Luo Feng smiled wearily, "It's thanks to Master Zhang who came to help, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to eat so many people."

Zhang Qian said a few words more modestly, and then asked curiously: "General Luo, you have used the tricks of smuggling east and west this time, and you really admire the general. But I heard that you have led the army to Sirius City for several days, why can you do it?" Get here in time?"

Luo Feng smiled slightly, "What's so difficult about it, Kubri Khan and I really went to Sirius City that day. However, in the middle of the night, we split up part of our troops and left quietly. Kubri took advantage of staying The extra horses and flags that were lowered forged the size of an army of [-]. Under the monitoring of my scouts, the Donghu scout cavalry could not approach the army at all.

"Smart." Zhang Qian nodded in praise, "At the same time, you sent a letter to the general by flying pigeons, and asked the general to lead an army of [-] and bring the garrison equipment here. Is it because you plan to severely injure the enemy here?"

"That's right, but it's a pity that our army's strength is still a bit small, not enough to expand the results of the battle." Luo Feng sighed slightly, regretting.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Qian went to deal with the post-war affairs by himself.

Two hours later, Luo Feng stepped on his horse, looked at the resting cavalry, and shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
