Vol 2 Chapter 873: Cavalry overwhelmed by the phalanx!

After the Tatar cavalry came one after another, relying on the numerical advantage to directly drown the more than 100 Tang infantry in front, the infantry on the other sides of the phalanx did not continue to stand stupidly as before, but under the leadership of the officers. surrounded.

Although such a hollow phalanx is gone, the hundreds of infantrymen collided with the cavalry of the Tartars!

In this incomparably short period of time, the infantry battalion suffered heavy casualties in an instant, but they let the cavalry of the Tartars move from a height and stopped directly!

Countless enemy and allied soldiers in the front were mixed together, and the Tartar cavalry in the rear could not run no matter how fast their horses were and how high their riding skills were!

There is no doubt that this infantry battalion has been submerged by the Tartar cavalry, but the other infantry battalions on the left and right and the rear continue to fire on the continuous stream of Tartar cavalry from the rear!

The screams of the war horses, the screams and screams of the soldiers were insignificant in the dense and crisp gunfire!

The Tatar cavalry is advancing!

Countless Tatar cavalry are advancing. They are not dozens or hundreds of cavalry, but more than 8,000 cavalry. Even if they are divided into more than a dozen attack waves, each wave reaches hundreds of cavalry!

Numerous cavalrymen formed a huge arrow and rushed towards the hollow square in front, and then hundreds of cavalrymen in front were entangled with those infantrymen!

Although the infantry of the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty were brave enough to use their bayonets and even their own bodies to resist the onslaught of the Tartar cavalry, they were still attacked by a large number of casualties and a small number of them. A thousand Tatar cavalry broke through!

After paying almost no less than the casualties of the opposite Datang infantry, the Tartar cavalry finally broke through the first infantry phalanx, and the leading Tatar cavalry continued to charge towards the second infantry phalanx!

On their way to charge, the corpses of both the enemy and us have been left on the ground!

At the same time, in front of them, on the left and right sides, there are still countless muskets aimed at them!

They broke through the face-to-face Tang army infantry phalanx, but they only let themselves enter a larger passage!

They were still besieged by the Tang Army musketeers on the left and right!

These 8,000 Tatar cavalry, in some cases, followed in the footsteps of the previous 2,000 Tatar cavalry!

Finally, relying on the absolute numerical advantage and almost overcoming the casualties of the Tang army infantry, the Tartar cavalry broke through the first hollow square, but in front of them, a hollow square is still waiting!

The musketeers of the two infantry phalanxes on both sides did not stop at all and were firing continuously!

With so many musketeers shooting, and the fact that the cavalry on the opposite side was almost black and full of Tatars, the musketeers didn't need to aim at all, as long as they didn't hit the bullets into the sky or the ground, they could hit The Tatar cavalry on the opposite side had a considerable hit rate.

Every shot was fired, representing the death and wounding of a Tatar cavalry!

The casualties and firepower density suffered by the Tartar cavalry were far beyond their previous estimates. Hundreds of cavalry had fallen on the way to charge, and hundreds of cavalry had fallen when they broke through the first phalanx. Now, almost every second, a large number of Tartar cavalry are falling.

However, in front of them, there is still an infantry formation of the Datang 6th Army!

The leading Tatar cavalry continued to charge forward, but when they broke through the first phalanx before, their speed had already dropped, and now it is almost impossible to raise the speed within a short distance. Although they desperately pushed the horses forward, their speed was still not comparable to when they attacked the first hollow phalanx.

A cavalry without a degree of speed would not be able to use high jump tactics to jump over the human wall in front. At the same time, if the cavalry wanted to blow the horses and rush directly to die, relying on their own corpses to break through the human wall, that was also a small probability.

Even the cavalry themselves are not afraid of death, but their horses are also afraid of death!

If it is high running, they can force a wave, but now their speed is too low!

As a result, after the leading hundreds of cavalry rushed to the front of the hollow phalanx, facing the dense bay of bayonets, they could no longer rush forward as heroically as before, especially when the opposite side continued to fire and threw grenades. .

The leading hundreds of cavalry were forced to turn in front of the formation. While turning, many Tartar cavalry once again took out their cavalry bows and tried to shoot back arrows on horseback.

There were also a very small number of Tatar cavalry who were not afraid of death, and directly urged their warhorses to rush up, and then died in front of the hollow square. soldier.

At this moment, the momentum of the Tatars' charge has been completely lost after being blocked by the previous hollow square. Now they, like the two thousand Tatar cavalry before, encountered the hollow square in front of them. He started to detour, and then ran in the passage, watching helplessly as the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty on both sides shot and killed him calmly!

Seeing this scene, Chen Keqiao in the back was also relieved!

At first, he was worried that the cavalry of these Tartars were so heroic that they would be able to break through his infantry phalanx one by one, but now it seems that these 8,000 Tatar cavalry are not much stronger than the previous 2,000 Tatar cavalry. .

If you continue like this, then you will be able to gain a great victory today!

Fighting against the cavalry with the same number of infantry, and then smashing the cavalry, causing heavy casualties, if this is not a great victory, then what is a great victory?

This battle is over!

Ever since the Tatars' charge slowed down, since the moment they were forced to detour and dare not continue to forcibly charge into the hollow square, this battle has already been decided.

And the next step is nothing more than how many Tatar cavalry can be killed!

Chen Keqiao could see it, and Burigud on the Tartar side could also see it. When he saw that his cavalry had suffered hundreds of cavalry casualties, he broke through a mere area of ​​the Tang army. When the square of four or five hundred people was formed, he realized that it was not good. This battle was different from what he expected!

Then, when he saw that his cavalry had stopped charging and could only pass between the hollow squares of the Tang army, he realized that if he continued like this, he might have to explain his 10,000 cavalry. here it is.

Immediately, he said loudly: "Ming Jin withdraws his troops, hurry up, let them withdraw!"

The Tatars in the rear blew the slogan of withdrawing their troops. At this time, the Tatar cavalry who were still outside and did not rush in were also relieved. The fight was so tragic in front of them. If they continued to rush forward, I am afraid that It's over.

However, the Tartar cavalry who were trapped in the numerous square formations of the Tang Dynasty, although they said they received the slogan of retreat, it was not important to confiscate them, because before that, they had already tried to pass The passages are out of this hell.

These passages are almost death passages, seemingly empty, but the Tang musketeers on both sides are firing at all times, and they will also throw out grenades. Every step forward, their Tartar cavalry must pay So many casualties!

But even so, they still did not dare to stop, they could only push the horses to run forward desperately. The hollow square of the 6th Tang Army was not endless. There are only a dozen or so, and they are not lined up in a row, but three large square formations. As long as the Tartar cavalry is not stupid, they can still rush out at a price.

The Tatar cavalry is advancing!

The last time they advanced, they were wielding sabres. They were full of confidence and wanted to knock down the phalanx of the 6th Army of the Tang Dynasty on the opposite side.

But this time, the advance turned into a desperate escape. Many Tartar cavalry did not even shoot back with bows and arrows. They just put the whole person on the back of the horse, and then urged the horse to keep moving forward. run.

Although in fact, it only takes a few minutes for them to run out, but for many Tatar cavalry, these few minutes are as long as countless years. In this kind of battlefield that can be hit by bullets at any time, Don't say a few minutes, even one second or two is too much, they just want to put on their wings and fly away.

Briggood in the rear had a gloomy face at this time. In the front, the sound of guns and guns still did not stop, and these guns and guns represented the constant casualties of their own cavalry.

This Tang army gun is really sharp, and it is even more terrifying than the rumors!

I don't know, how many people can still withdraw. There are tens of thousands of cavalry. If the loss is too great, even if these 10,000 cavalry are cannon fodder for the collateral tribes, but if there are too many casualties, he is still not good to me. Answer Khan!

He didn't count on the two thousand cavalry strikers before. At the beginning, he didn't let the two thousand retreat, but let them continue to fight. Although they would run away on their own, it was impossible to say that he was Briggood. Don't let them retreat they won't retreat.

But not giving them a real retreat order before~www.wuxiaspot.com~ will affect their retreat somewhat.

Now it seems that it is already ten to seven or eight, and only a few hundred horses have escaped.

As for the 8,000 cavalry that followed, because he gave the retreat order early, only the majority of the cavalry actually went into battle.

However, among the 5,000 or 6,000 cavalrymen who had entered the attack, there were already hundreds of casualties and injuries on the way to the charge, and hundreds of casualties after breaking through the first phalanx. Under his order to retreat, there were actually nearly 1,000 casualties. And every moment, countless cavalry fell.

He is not sure how many can be successfully withdrawn in the end.

Perhaps, half of the cavalry will be able to come back alive?
