Chapter 164 Who can cross the sword immediately only me, General Chen
Chapter 164 Who can stand out and be the only one in my position?
"Chen...Chen Ying?" Wang Shichong looked at Chen Ying's Da Tao in disbelief, making a sound in the wind. He was a little strange. Wang Shichong was not a person who cares about his head and buttocks. When he ambushed Li Shimin, he had already spread more than 200 scouts and more than 2,000 scouts, a radius of more than 100,000 scouts, which were a bit exaggerated, but if he had to talk about the movements of fifty miles, he would definitely know in time.
Just like Qu Tutong just led the camp, he could receive the news as soon as possible.
However, until the sound of the horse hooves led by Chen Ying entered the eardrums, until Chen Ying's Datao entered his sight, Wang Shichong did not receive even a scout to report the news.
A cold and cruel look appeared on Wang Shichong's face, and confusion and doubt flashed in his eyes.
In fact, Wang Shichong was understandable. Because Wang Shichong didn't know at all that Chen Ying had an army called the Beiwei Army. This army with only four regiments was hidden in the cave of Longmen Mountain. He played hide-and-seek with Wang Shichong's army. When Chen Ying led the army to raid Wang Shichong, the Beiwei Army in the cave in Tibet began to move. They took advantage of the darkest moment before dawn to touch the sentries and scouts of the Zheng army that had already been discovered and deployed.
Chen Ying's original intention of forming the Beiwei Army was to avoid being ambushed by the enemy during the march, so touching the sentry and sneak attacks were actually the Beiwei Army's secret skills. Without any suspense, Liu Tong and Xunxiang led most of the sentries and scouts of Wang Shichong, the Beiwei Army general, to deal with them secretly.
Although Wang Shichong was confused, Wang Shichong's army did not. The archers around Wang Shichong both opened their bows and shot archery rain at Chen Ying's troops.
"Swish swish swish swish..."
The dense sound of breaking through the air sounded, but it was beyond everyone's expectations. The rain of arrows covered Chen Ying's hook and sickle cavalry. However, although there were many people who were shot in the arrow, only a few of them fell into the horse and fought.
It turns out that the most feared thing about the dense cavalry wall tactics is the shooting of bows and arrows. In order to increase the defense ability of the hook and sickle lances, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the armor of the hook and sickle lances. However, increasing the thickness of the cavalry armor means that the weight of the war horses is increased, but Chen Ying does not have the Arabian horse in his hand with super-strong weight carrying ability and good endurance. Because the armor that can ignore the arrow shooting means that the weight of the armor is exactly the same as that of the Modao Army.
However, after thinking about it, Chen Ying took a compromise method, not increasing the thickness of the armor or the defense ability of the cavalry armor, but adding a shield that was placed on his left arm. This was the inspiration that Chen Ying got in the later movie "The Lion of the Heavenly General". He used high manganese steel to make the surface and fold the shield, which was more than one foot wide and stretched about two feet long, and basically protected most of the key points.
"call out……"
A wolf-toothed arrow broke through the air and rubbed against Chen Ying's cheek. The unique coldness of the arrow penetrated into the pores and penetrated into the bone marrow, causing Chen Ying's body to tremble slightly.
However, the lances advance like a wall, and the charge speed is extremely fast. The speed is almost as high as the 45-mph lances. The average charge speed per second reaches twelve meters, and the distance of only 80 steps is only a few breaths. Just after the archers of the Zheng army shot an arrow and wanted to rush the arrow, the lances had already rushed to more than forty steps in front of them.
At this time, the archers of Zheng's army began to panic. They rushed out the arrows in their hands. At this moment, the sharp hook, sickle, gun and gun pierced through the armor of Zheng's soldiers, cut open the muscles, split the bones, pierced the internal organs, and a bleeding part was revealed from the spine. The strong impact force made the gun stick arched and then straightened.
The front of the hook and sickle spear was pulled out from the unlucky guy's chest, bringing out a stream of dirty blood. Almost at the same time, more hook and sickle spears used their hook characteristics to easily hook the head, hands, feet or legs of the Zheng army soldiers. However, the hook and sickle spear is too vicious. No matter what it hooks, under the great inertia, the Zheng army soldiers have the feeling of leaving.
Just as Gu Long wrote in "Seven Weapons", if it hooks your hand, your hand will be separated from your wrist; if it hooks your feet, your feet will be separated from your legs. If it hooks my throat, it will be separated from this world...
Not to mention Wang Shichong's doubts, even Li Shimin was also puzzled. He told the Xuanjia Cavalry and the generals that there must be reinforcements. In fact, the reinforcements in Li Shimin's heart were the 100,000 Tang Dynasty Envoy East Army led by Qu Tutong. However, Li Shimin's expected reinforcements staged a Waterloo outside Luoyang City under the raid of Wang Shichong's Fire Bull Formation.
Seeing Chen Ying's big trouble appear in sight, everyone under Li Shimin's remnants shouted excitedly. They gritted their teeth and wanted to squeeze the last bit of strength in their bodies.
Hou Junji shouted excitedly: "That's great, great, we're saved this time!"
Cheng Zhijie's eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly: "That's great, we finally have a rescue!"
A smile also appeared on Qin Qiong's face.
No one is truly not afraid of death, and he is not willing to die when he has hope of living.
But Li Shimin was not so optimistic.
Although Chen Ying's lancers were elite, Wang Shichong had an ambush of 50,000 or 60,000 troops in Longmen Canyon. Although he fought hard for the Xuanjia cavalry in the middle of the night and defeated Wang Shichong for 50,000 or 60,000, Wang Shichong still had more than 50,000 elite troops. Chen Ying's little men came and delivered vegetables to them.
However, there is a reinforcement army that is better than none. At least it can improve morale and create a good opportunity for the Tianxiong Army to break through. He ordered the army to prepare. Once Chen Ying disrupted Wang Shichong's position in Longmen Mountain, he would immediately break through with all his strength, and he could run out as much as he could.
Seeing tens of thousands of archers running over like a stray dog, Wang Shichong's eyelids began to hop wildly again. This war has been testing his heart. The failure of the Hangu Pass of the World to prevent Chen Ying from attacking was shocked.
Wang Shichong surrendered one after another. The governor of the governor of Wang Shichong and the governor of Wuzhou Cui Shu surrendered to Tang with the city of Wuzhou and Dengzhou. The general of Xianzhou Tian Zan surrendered to the 25 states of his subordinates; the general of Yunzhou Yang Qing requested to surrender; the governor of Weizhou Shi Derui surrendered to the seven states of his subordinates; the general Zhang Zhenzhou surrendered, and then the nine states such as Rong, Bian, Wuzhou and Yu surrendered one after another. At this point, all the counties and counties around Luoyang fell into the hands of Li Shimin, and Luoyang had become an isolated city, and he was shocked again.
Fortunately, he took the strategy of seducing the enemy and pretended to be defeated and fled to Nanyang. Li Shimin was still young and energetic. He was trapped and led more than 5,000 Xuanjia cavalry to chase and fight hard all the way. So Wang Shichong set up a pocket formation for Li Shimin in Longmen Canyon. When the Xuanjia cavalry retreated step by step under the crazy impact of the Zheng army, especially the 100,000 main forces of the Tang army led by Qu Tutong were defeated under the raid of the Fire Bull Formation, the entire army was defeated. Now the battle situation has begun to become clear.
The tiger was trapped, but at this critical moment, Chen Ying actually ran over again, his heart twitching, almost going crazy.
Wang Shichong's team of archers rushed up to try to harass him. Chen Ying led the hook and sickle lances and yelled: "To kill these idiots!"
Under Chen Ying's leadership, the hook and sickle lances lined up in a dense formation and rushed towards the Zheng army's archers and cavalrymen.
Li Shimin looked at the hook and sickle lances that were rolling forward, and his eyes almost fell to the ground: "Just... just rushed up like this? Will you fight?"
In Li Shimin's view, Chen Ying's major general Wei's best way is to capture the enemy and first attack Wang Shichong's central army. As long as Wang Shichong's central army is in chaos, they can take the opportunity to break through. Wang Shichong has 5,000 cavalry on Longmen Mountain, and he is condescending and occupying an absolute advantage. If you rush up like this, it is no different from dying.
Duan Zhixuan closed his eyes in pain. Now Chen Ying was their last hope, but Chen Ying was not as famous as he met, which was simply a false appearance.
Cheng Zhi was so angry that he swears: "Your mother!"
Seeing the hook and sickle rushing towards the Zheng army's archers and cavalrymen did not talk nonsense. The Zheng army's cavalry was actually one of the Hu cavalry of the Sui Dynasty. The main ones were Hu people who surrendered to the Sui Dynasty. These soldiers who were born on horseback rode their horses to meet them, and they pulled out their horn bows and shot them in a round of speed.
This kind of horn bow is a soft bow with a very fast firing rate. It is a terrible weapon in the hands of these well-trained Hu cavalrymen. As the bow string trembled, several arrows flew out in a line. The rain of arrows suddenly appeared above the heads of Chen Ying's hook and sickle lances. However, this kind of bow can only bully the Tang army with a terrible armor rate. If it is not possible to encounter the hook and sickle lance cavalry army, the armor spirit under Chen Ying's command, looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, they recognized the second, and no one dared to recognize the first, not to mention that these hook and sickle lance cavalry cavalrymen also have shields, especially the shield weighing less than ten kilograms, which is difficult to penetrate even if it exceeds twenty steps. They did not take the light arrows shot from the horn bow seriously, and let the arrow rain wash their armor without blinking.
The cavalrymen were not equipped with bows and arrows, nor had crossbows. They only had one move, picked up the hooks and sickle guns, and made a final sprint...
The Hu cavalry of Zheng Army was shocked to find that their dense rain of arrows did not play the role they should have. They fell on the Tang army and bounced away. The Tang army was as if nothing had happened. Only a few Tang army cavalry fell down because of arrows from the war horses. This situation has never happened! Now the distance between the two sides is very close, and they can already see the cold and cold light emitted by the blades of the cavalry and sickle. They are all afraid of it and retreat at the same time!
But now I'm just backing down, isn't it a little late?
Before the Hu cavalry turned the heads of the horse, the cavalry and lances had already hit them with their men and horses. The 18-foot-long hook and scabbard easily penetrated their bodies and picked them off the horse. A Hu cavalry and lances fell off the horse, proclaiming the end of his lives.
The terrified Hu cavalry swung their scimitar to block the hook and sickle spear, but the scimitar was not much stronger than their leather armor. It broke as soon as it touched, and it did not give them the chance to use their sword skills at all!
With the emergence of high manganese generals, Chen Ying found that high manganese steel was much harder than high-carbon steel, and was resistant to maneuvering and not easy to break. So Chen Ying, who was rich and powerful, replaced the gun tips of the hook and sickle gun with gun tips made of high manganese steel without hesitation. As for the original high-carbon steel gun tips, there is no need to waste anyway, and it is left for the daily training of the cavalry, and it will also be consumed during training.
But all this is not important. What is important is that Chen Ying's troops are unstoppable. I don't know how many Hu Qi warriors were stabbed by their hook and sickle spears, and their chests went in and out of the back, or were hooked by the hook and sickle spears, their bodies separated, or they became super disabled, and almost none of the Hu Qi knights who crashed into the Tang cavalry array!
In just one round, the Hu cavalry was hit by a devastating blow, and the people shouted and neighed, and they were in a mess. The Hu cavalry general widened his eyes in disbelief, watching the Tang cavalry rolling back like a tide, while the Hu cavalry warriors were swept around like grass, and they felt dizzy.
God of Canglang, what kind of ghostly fighting style is Tang Jun? He can actually gain an absolute advantage in cavalry battles! What's wrong with this world!
Chen Ying rushed around without rushing to Wang Shichong's original formation, but rushed directly to the place where Li Shimin was. It would not be too late to rescue Li Shimin and deal with Wang Shichong again.
Looking at the piles of corpses and burning chariots in front of him, and the Datao of Li Shimin who was looming in the rolling smoke, Chen Ying sighed and said, "Thank God, I was finally not late!"
Li Xiuning was also relieved: "Erlang is still here, thank God!"
Chen Ying looked at Li Shimin, and it was extremely miserable. Li Shimin himself was covered with arrows and mottled blood. The key was the Xuan Armored Cavalry, including Li Shimin. Now there were less than 300 people and there was not even a single war horse. Although Li Shimin fought hard, they were already exhausted and were suppressed by Zheng's army and slowly retreated, almost immediately retreating to the bottom.
Chen Ying was not gloating, so he raised his sword and pointed forward: "Lavender, charge!"
"rush!!!"
The cavalry and the cavalrymen all let out a violent roar, put the flat cavalry and spear, and instigated the war horses, like a black hurricane, and the army of the ogre king Zhu Can rushed straight towards him.
I don’t know if Zhu Can is particularly interested in Li Shimin. Anyway, in this ambush battle, Zhu Can is definitely the main force of ambushing Li Shimin. More than half of the casualties of the Xuanjia Cavalry were caused by Zhu Can.
The Hook and Scythe Lancer Cavalry regiment swept towards Zhu Can's troops like a black torrent. At this time, the Hook and Scythe Lancer Cavalry was condescending, and people took advantage of the horse's power and the horse's power to rush faster and faster. This made the infantry in Zhu Can's troops lose their souls and become a mess.
It swept the infantrymen of Zhu Can with almost no effort.
Li Xiuning looked at Li Shimin with red eyes and was almost crying. She asked with concern: "Second brother, how are you?"
Li Shimin pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's okay, I'm a little bit."
As he said that, Li Shimin bowed and said, "General Chen, I will never thank you for your kindness when I save you. I, Li Shimin, owe you a life!"
Cheng Zhijie bowed and said, "I, Cheng, owe you a life..."
Before Chen Ying could speak, Luo Shixin said with joy: "Brother Qin, Brother Cheng, you..."
Li Shimin looked at Chen Ying with a worried look on his face: "It's not the time to reminisce about the past, look..."
Chen Ying looked in the direction Li Shimin pointed, and saw the Zheng army rushing up on the hillside like a craze. At this time, Chen Ying's troops were exactly the same as Li Shimin's original situation, surrounded by Wang Shichong's army in Longmen Canyon.
Chen Ying smiled disapprovingly and said, "I have seen many such small scenes."
As he said that, Chen Ying rode his horse to the middle of the mountain and shouted: "Old Wang Shichong, how dare you fight me to the death?"
The cavalrymen of the Hooks and Scythes also shouted neatly: "Old Wang Shichong, do you dare to fight me to the death?"
As more than 5,000 cavalry and lances roared in unison, the Zheng army soldiers looked at each other and trembled.
Li Shimin sighed: "Who can stand up to the point of being able to stand up? Only General Chen!"
Chapter completed!
