"Boss, aren't we going to the battlefield?" Li Longhua's comrades asked.

They had already eliminated three Uighur cavalry squads, and now they were still ten kilometers away from the battlefield, but Li Longhua did not run directly towards the battlefield.

Li Longhua said: "Can't Boss Yuchi handle this Uighur cavalry? What we have to do now is not to go to the battlefield, but to block the opening for the Uighurs to run back!"

The Beilin Army crossed the desert to attack Baowen Mountain, and Li Longhua's target was several beacon fortresses north of Baowen Mountain.

Li Longhua has already conducted an investigation and found that there is a beacon fire fortress north of Baowen Mountain. When Longyou had sufficient troops, these beacon fire fortresses were used to monitor the desert and prevent the invasion of grassland peoples.

Before, it was to guard against the Turks, but after the decline of the Turks, it was to guard against the Uighurs.

These fortresses have been abandoned, and Li Longhua led his companions to board a fortress.

"If the Uighurs want to withdraw, they must pass through here. We must intercept the Uighur cavalry here and prevent them from coming back!"

There were many players who had the same idea as Li Longhua. They bypassed the battlefield and came to the edge of the vast sea, waiting to ambush the Uighurs' defeated troops.

Some other players quickly rushed to the battlefield.

But at this point, it's too late to count on players.

Yu Chixin ordered his guards to raise their banners high, and the soldiers in the front row lowered their shields as instructed!

The thick shields were pressed against the ground, and the archers rushed forward from the rear and began to shoot at the charging Uighur cavalry.

Anashi sneered in his heart when he saw the fallen bow and arrow. The heavy cavalry in the Forest of Steles were all covered in armor, even the horses were covered in armor. A mere bow and arrow could not hurt the cavalry at all.

Sure enough, the three hundred heavy cavalry in the forest of steles raised up sand and stones, and the Tang army's bows and arrows were itching, unable to break through the defense of the heavy armored cavalry.

"Stop shooting! Stop shooting! Shoot again within fifty steps!"

Yuchixin immediately issued an order for the archers to stop shooting.

Shooting at this distance is just a waste of energy. Against such armored cavalry, bows and arrows can only exert their power within fifty steps.

"Bring me my big yellow crossbow!"

Two indigenous attendants brought over a large yellow crossbow. Yuchixin unstrung the crossbow, lifted the heavy crossbow and pointed it at a protruding heavy cavalryman.

Seventy steps, sixty steps, fifty steps, shoot!

The bow string vibrated, and Yu Chixin's arms were numb from the recoil of the crossbow.

But the crossbow penetrated the heavy armor of the knight in the front row and shot the knight off his horse.

"In! The general is mighty!"

Yu Chixin threw the big yellow crossbow to his cronies. At this time, the heavy cavalry in the Forest of Steles was only fifty steps away from the shield bearers in the front row.

Shi Sanlang is an ordinary soldier in the Moli Army. He was selected as a shield bearer because of his strength.

Pressing his body against the steel shield, Shi Sanlang saw the momentum of the forest of steles on the ground collapsing and destroying the mountains, and he instinctively became frightened.

Can a steel shield stop cavalry? Such a heavy cavalry charge can probably break through even the camp, right?

Shi Sanlang heard the order from the team leader behind him:

"Shield bearers are ready! Believe in your robes and hold on to the steel shield! Hold on!"

Spearmen have been ambushing in the gaps between each shield. As long as the heavy cavalry enters one step, these long gunners will thrust out their spears from the gaps between the shields!

Then Shi Sanlang saw the corps commander coming to his side and resisting the steel shield with him.

I don’t know who started it, but the soldiers sang an ancient military song.

"How can you say that you have no clothes, but you share the same robe with me!"

"How can I say that I have no clothes? I am in the same boat as my son!"

The vast ancient Qin opera tune sounded, and the ancient Qin war song sounded.

The educational level of the soldiers of the Moli Army was not high, but the simple "No Clothes" strengthened the will of all the soldiers.

Pao Ze is right next to you, how can you take even half a step back!

Shi Sanlang used all his strength to resist the steel shield.

"prick!"

The corps commander calculated the speed of the cavalry charge. Just when the ground shook the most violently, the pikemen beside Shi Sanlang used all their strength to thrust out their spears!

This Uighur knight had superb equestrian skills. After seeing the Tang army's steel shield, he prepared to control his horse to break through the steel shield array.

But just when he was about to hit the shield, the spear thrust out from under the shield and plunged directly into the horse's belly.

The war horse only wore armor on its body, without any protection on its abdomen. The spear was thrust straight into it, and the war horse neighed and raised its hooves, throwing the full-armored knight on its back to the ground.

The raised horse's hooves landed on the steel shield, and Shi Sanlang felt that half of his body was numb.

But you can’t retreat!

Shi Sanlang resisted the steel shield with all his strength, his shoulder was bleeding, but he still didn't take a step back!

Fan Zeng, the defensive commander of the Yumen Army who had dispersed to the flanks, only saw a torrent of black cavalry rushing onto the shield wall of the Tang Army's infantry phalanx.

It's like the melting water from the snow-capped mountains in summer merges into the huge waves rising in the Shule River and hits the dam.

Steel and iron, flesh and blood collided together, and the Tang Army's infantry phalanx did not retreat even half a step!

When did the Moli Doulu army become so elite?

But this was not the time to be in a daze. Fan Zeng saw that the infantry had blocked the heavy cavalry in the Forest of Steles, so it was time for him to perform.

Fan Zeng shouted: "Sons! Follow me and kill!"

The five hundred Qingqi of the Tang Dynasty rushed towards the seven hundred Qingqi of the Forest of Steles!

Their task was to protect the flanks of the infantry phalanx and hold back the Uighurs' light cavalry.

Ana Shi's face was pale, and the heavy cavalry in the Forest of Steles charged the mountains and rivers, but they failed to break through the Tang army's shield wall!

In fact, this is not to blame Anashi. If it were the Dajin cavalry a few hundred years later, they would be equipped with a shield-breaking hammer when dealing with the Song army's shield wall.

But today's heavy cavalry in Beilin still use the Uighur long-bladed sword, which is a copycat of the Mo sword.

When these long-edged knives struck the shield produced by the Dashuixia Ordnance Supervision Bureau, they could only produce a few small sparks and did no damage to the shield at all.

Anashi saw with his own eyes that the despicable Tang army thrust out a spear from under the shield, specifically to stab the horse's legs and belly. Once the rider fell off the horse, the spear and long knife would attack the fallen rider. Anashi saw with his own eyes a horsemanship

The superb rider fell off his horse and was hacked to pieces.

However, the archers of the Tang Army were still shooting from behind. The Uighur heavy cavalry did not have face armor. The archers of the Tang Army shot arrows specifically at their faces. Because the front row blocked the pressure, these archers fired calmly and killed many cavalrymen.

No, we can't go on like this! We can't let the three hundred elite Forest of Stele Heavy Cavalry be ruined in our own hands!

We must break through the Tang army’s shield wall!

Anashi quickly grasped the key point. Without the protection of the shield wall, the Tang army in the back row was a lamb to be slaughtered.

Anashi picked up the long sword and shouted loudly: "My guards on the left and right, charge with me!"

The military flags behind Anashi moved accordingly, and the heavy flags in the Forest of Steles heard the shouts of the guards behind Anashi, and they all made way for a charge.

As Anashi's flag moved forward, the pressure on the Tang army's shield hand increased sharply, and Shi Sanlang felt that he had reached his limit.
