Chapter 212: The Iron Beast's Fierce Three

The first five thousand words in this chapter have been modified twice, but the last five thousand words have not been modified, and there may be typos.

But after typing tonight, I found that my eyes hurt so I couldn't read the words. It's been too long, so I'll post it first. I'll wait two days before changing it.

————————————

A letter of reconciliation was sent to Zhang Mai. The letter of reconciliation was issued by conservatives in the Tang Dynasty. Several censors of the platform were jointly issued. The tone of this letter of reconciliation was "the country is warlike and will be in danger." It is believed that the Khitan has retreated, Shi Jin was shocked, Meng Shu surrendered, and Tiance's army should stop when it is better, "to soothe the pain and to win the results of the war."

The so-called soothing pain naturally implies the huge losses of the Modao Battle Axe Array, so what about the results of the battle?

"The result of the battle? Now there is a bullshit battle!" Zhang Mai snorted, kneaded the advice and threw it into the trash can.

When Fan Zhi saw it, he hurriedly took out the letter of advice from the trash can and said, "The Censor's advice, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, the Marshal should not treat it like this."

Zhang Maiyun said, "This group of people do not know the overall situation! Any war is in danger! If our Tang Dynasty is not strong inside and outside, and there are countries that can be friends around, these four words make some sense. But now we are in a period of comprehensive rise in national strength and tribal strength, and there are a group of ungrateful wolves around us, especially the Khitan, who invade our country's territory, erode our territory, and harm our people for a hundred years. At this time, we should use our offensive posture and attack them hard, and set up a national space for more than one step forward and retreat for the descendants of the next hundred years. Whatever war is in danger, this is bullshit when it is said at this time!"

However, regardless of Zhang Mai's fierce reaction, Fan Zhi quietly calmed down the advice, and wrote Zhang Mai's comments under him and archived them.

Zhang Mai ignored this advice and silently pondered the history he knew in his previous life. He passed the reason for the weakness of the Song Dynasty in his heart. He was saddened by the officials of a certain era's resolute reprimand for foreigners. Looking to the northwest, he silently said: "Ayi, Xiaoshitou, we can't do this! We will not just protest verbally. We will use the Tang sword and the Tang cavalry to avenge their shame and conquer! Fight what should be beat, and kill what should be killed! We don't think of those who just say nothing! Not to mention a mere island and city, a thousand miles of desert, thousands of miles of grassland, and even the sea that belongs to the future, we should take them back!"

————————————

When time was transferred back to Shiba, the day when Yelu Ruan played against him.

The Tang cavalry seemed to sense Zhang Mai's silent thoughts beyond time and space, and was launching a fierce attack on the Khitan cavalry.

Shiba has been a little pampered in the past two years, but in Luntai and Shuye, it is too hard after all. No matter how pampered he is, he will not be able to keep people's bones as in the Central Plains and Jiangnan. Shiba only gains weight in his belly, but during Shuye, he has to ride a horse almost every day, which ensures a considerable amount of exercise. Moreover, he is still young after all.

What's more, his courage has not been lost, and his heroism is even better than that of the past.

The name of a person and the shadow of a tree.

In the era of cold weapons, sometimes the courage to attack!

A famous general is a flag, the courage of an army!

Shi Ba dared to take risks and charge because he had Zhang Mai's unlimited support behind him. The orphans rushed over forgot their lives, because at the forefront was a famous general who was intimidating the universe! No one knew what the consequences of this battle were. Some mature people were even worried that they were outnumbered, but even Shi Ba, who was the governor, rushed in the front, so let's fight!

——————————

Finally got the chance!

In war, not only the number of people but also the equipment.

The orphan army was very well-equipped, with horses all high-headed and large horses in the Western Regions, with strong charge power, and all were equipped with stirrups, saddles, and some war horses and iron bridles. What's even more rare is that the Tang army had spare horses, and now they were riding were the fresh horses they had just replaced.

Attack weapons include horizontal swords and extended slashing swords. Whether they are horizontal swords or long swords, they are made of steel forged. If they try to cut them down, the leather will be cracked and the iron armor will also be left with marks. Straight piercing can break the leather armor. All soldiers wear bows and arrows, and the arrows are all sharp iron clusters. If the bow is strong and the head is accurate, in some cases, they can even penetrate the armor. Some soldiers even carry oil refining bombs.

One-third of them are equipped with iron helmets, and two-thirds are equipped with leather helmets. The shoulders and chest are made of two pieces of leather with a layer of compressed cotton leather armor, and steel sheets are inlaid in key parts. Such armed forces have no less offensive than those of the leather army.

The Khitan's mixed clan cavalry used all the variegated weapons. Although the Khitan had to use these mixed clan troops, it also restricted them. Although the Khitan's iron forging technology was quite mature, it still imposed iron restrictions on the northern desert like the Central Plains regimes of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Most of the mixed clan cavalry still could not penetrate the bones of leather armor, and some cavalry did not even have stirrups.

According to Yelu Antuan's arrangement, they had 4,000 people, divided into two layers. Before, Yelu Antuan believed that if the Tang army was not strong in combat, these two waves of attacks would be enough to defeat the Tang army. But now no one thinks that way. Even Yelu Ruan just made up his mind, hoping that these two waves of troops could consume the Tang army's physical strength as much as possible.

On the vast grassland west of the Handala River Valley, the morning light gradually fell, and the Tang cavalry threw away the torches one after another. The flames were extinguished, but the Khitan saw the Tang cavalry rushing over more clearly.

The sunlight penetrated from the thin clouds, and the light scattered obliquely on the five hundred horsemen's protruding out of the two thousand cavalrymen, iron bridles, iron stirrups, and steel horse hooves! And their faces were all painted black! I don't know whether it was ink or ashes of charcoal, but this turned the two thousand cavalrymen into black faces!

This Western Expedition, the battlefield was in the north, and the color of the north was still black. Therefore, the Tang army's armor, military uniforms and flags were mostly black, and these two thousand black faces made the entire army turn into a dark cloud, revealing an extremely dangerous atmosphere.

The originally tender weeds on the ground have been mixed with the soil after the past two days of trampling. At this time, they were even more corroded under the trampling of steel hooves. Five hundred cavalry did not speak, but a very subtle low shock came from their throats. This low shock was like the nasal sound of a tiger, and it had formed a deterrent that scared the enemy before it made a tiger's roar.

The Orphan Army, who followed the Five Hundred Cavalry, seemed to be infected. Although Luntai's training had not taught this kind of low-sounding sound, they learned it all at once with their predecessors on the battlefield. With the rhythm of the low-sounding vibration, the speed of the orphan soldiers' charge and even the mental state of fighting were unknowingly mobilized, and gradually became synchronized with the Five Hundred Cavalry of the Iron Beast.

The charge speed was accelerating, and Yelu Ruan had already smelled danger, but he had no time to change his formation in the face of the battle. The two thousand Khitan cavalry, who were the first to be attacked, had no room for a turn back in this situation. Faced with the strength of the Tang army, many Khitan clans became afraid. Some cavalry looked back and wanted to see that Yelu Ruan's flag did not retreat, so that they had the courage to continue fighting. This was a sign of their fear. But after all, they still had a numerical advantage. With this advantage, they rushed over.

On one side, the five hundred cavalry are brave and ruthless, and on the other side, the Khitan clan is reluctant to rush forward with hidden fear.

Both sides are in contact!

The Khitan relied on its psychological advantage in numbers to completely tear apart in an instant!

Shiba is not the kind of general who is firmly at the core of the army. His man is not tall, but the length of his arms is disproportionate to his height. When his fang iron rod was raised and a Khitan knight raised his knife to block it, it was broken by the fang rod, which broke the enemy's weapon's fang rod and slammed heavily on the Khitan knight's throat. The blood did not spew out, but just oozed out. When Shi pulled down the fang rod, the hook on the stick was pulled, and half of the Khitan knight's throat had rotted.

When the war horse under the crotch of the Khitan knight was terrified, its owner was already dead. Another knight on the right rushed over to force Shiba to force Shiba. Shiba had no time to pull back the fangs, and he waved it directly. The fangs stick and smashed the head of the enemy's war horse with minced meat. The horse fell down before he could even be scared and neighed.

The sweaty and bloody BMW under Shi Gaku's crotch neighed and stepped on it. The steel hooves, with the huge inertia of charge, actually shattered the sternum of the Khitan knight!

It’s just a blink of an eye!

Blood flowers fly.

The smell of blood began to permeate the battlefield. The five hundred Iron Beasts were like sharks. When they smelled blood, everyone suddenly became ferocious.

If they were just brave soldiers at the last moment, then at this moment, they would become vicious slaughterers!

Shiba rushed forward, and with one raising his hand, he saw an enemy, lifting the enemy's throat and smashing the horse's brain. He was generally taller than the enemy's war horse, and his sweat-blooded BMW, relying on the steel bridle and steel hooves, crushed all the enemies blocking them with impact and trampling!

Five hundred cavalry did not break through the formation of two thousand Khitan cavalry in the front, they only remember to kill people!

The orphan army behind was originally closely behind the five hundred cavalry, but after only a little distance behind, they missed the most difficult first level of breakthrough! The soldiers of the orphan army naturally turned into the two wings of the five hundred iron beast cavalry. They saw their seniors fighting in front! They followed and fought!

The sword and the long axe strangled the flesh and blood of the Khitan.

Unlike the Modao Battle Axe Array, the advancement of the Iron Beast Army is also the advancement of horse hooves. The Modao Battle Axe Array is strangled step by step, while the Iron Beast Cavalry is a real sweep! Speed ​​plus impact sweep!

One Han defeats the Five Barbarians!

At this moment, the combat effectiveness of the Han cavalry against the Khitan Za tribe cavalry truly reproduced the scene of "one Han defeating the Five Barbarians" a thousand years ago! In the short time before the second group of Khitan Za tribe cavalry advanced, the two thousand Tang cavalry had already gained an overwhelming advantage!

It was like a dark cloud sweeping from the West! It shocked the grassland, made the heaven and earth lose its color, and made the morning light turn into dusk, and the ground bloody as if it were sunset.

The dense sound of horse hooves was like the muffled thunder mixed in the dark clouds. The ground trembled, the Khitan cavalry trembled, and the Khitan cavalry trembled, and in the end, even the Pishi army was affected.

Another era when the Han Dynasty defeated the Five Barbarians...

It's here!

——————————————

"Iron Beast Stone Pulling... It's really an iron Beast Stone Pulling!" Yelu Ruan pointed at Shiba and shouted, "Good opportunity, good opportunity! Surround him! Take his head!"

Regardless of whether Yelu Ruan really thinks this is a good opportunity, he will make his subordinates feel: King Yongkang's trembling voice is excitement rather than fear.

The siege army roared at the command of the commander. They were already preparing to take action in advance, and they were still raising horsepower.

At the same time, a roar was heard on the battlefield-

Five hundred people, a roar!

The low vibration that the two thousand Tang cavalry originally had in their throat seemed to suddenly occur. The roar that had been held in for a long time was like a flood that was blocked suddenly broke through the embankment. It was Shiba's first voice when the first two thousand people of the Khitan clan collapsed: "Kill them! No one left!"

Behind him, hundreds of cavalry yelled: "Kill them, no one will be left!"

Then the five hundred Iron Beast Knights let out the same roar: "Slay them! No one left!"

The second group of Khitans was also two thousand people. They had not yet taken the lead, but they changed their color in a roar of iron hooves. The Khitan militars have now broken their courage!

The teenagers' passion was driven.

No, that is not passionate, that is barbaric nature!

What are they? They are orphans produced on the battlefield. Orphans left on the battlefield in the northwest can survive in a cruel environment, and each of them has superhuman physiques. At the same time, their temperament is also very aggressive and irritable.

In recent years, the training of the Tang army and the military disciplines were like tight rings, locking up their barbaric blood. An Shouzhi and others made the orphan army boys understand what civilized soldiers were, but they also suppressed part of their wildness - and this part is one of the essential qualities that the orphan army can be favored by them.

Military training can train queues and martial arts, but there is no real murder course. After all, Luntai cannot get some people to kill orphans.

But at this moment, under Shi Ba's words and deeds and under the demonstration of the Five Hundred Iron Beasts, their barbarity was released.

———————

When the first wave of Khitan cavalry collapsed and two thousand Tang cavalry and the second group of cavalry were connected, Shi Ba suddenly clashed to the left!

"What did he do!" The Khitans behind were shocked.

What is Tang Jun doing?

When the overall force is weak, shouldn’t we seek a breakthrough in the central government to capture the enemy’s leaders?

But Shiba did not have any breakthroughs in the central government, he was fighting almost by instinct - he did not attack weak places, but he rushed up wherever there were many people! This was not a breakthrough, this was a murder under the confidence of winning!

The five hundred iron beasts are like five hundred tigers and wolves with sharp teeth and claws. The combat power of a single soldier can even kill the Khitan clans in seconds. The organizational connection between them is like connecting them with steel bars. Five hundred people become a huge and sucking beast without friends!

In front of the horse hooves of the five hundred iron beasts, the Khitan clan troops could not withstand a rush at all! Shiba relied on such a rushing force to break through the weak and break through the strong first. When the muscles and bones of the Khitan formation were disintegrated, the remaining cavalry that had lost their organization turned into pieces of rotten meat.

The Han family's iron cavalry conquered the northern part of the Mo, and the Han general defeated the Hu thieves for the country!

A man always underestimates the enemy and tries his best to break through the siege!

——————————

Such command, which seemed to violate the "common sense" of military tactics, made the Khitans who were preparing to fight behind him feel numb. Every time the Tang cavalry killed one person, the morale of the Tang cavalry rose one point, and the morale of the Khitans fell one point.

Yelu Ruan finally couldn't help it. He was less than 4,000 people to drag the Tang army to exhaust him. If this continues, I am afraid that the Tang army will not be tired yet, and the four thousand people will be completely ruined! He issued an order in advance: "Run!"

The Khitan army's close tribe rushed up with two thousand Qi attacks.

They shouted:

"Catch Shiba alive, capture Shiba alive!"
