Chapter 1015 Broken halberd and broken leg
Huangyuan's drums were beating loudly, and the killing sound was loud.
Prince Chengqian stood under the banner of Sanchen, and wanted to ride his horse into battle several times, but this time Lu Benqi stopped him firmly.
The Guanlong cavalry is charging repeatedly.
They are like the forging hammer in the hands of the blacksmith, constantly breaking a piece of iron.
Tuyuhun wanted to escape wholeheartedly, but Tang Qi smashed them to pieces like raging waves.
Every moment, countless people fell down, not only the Tuyuhun people, but Tang Qi also began to have people fall from their horses. Countless Tuyuhun people were rushing forward desperately, the more Tang Qi charged and killed, the more panicked they were, and the more desperate they were when they ran for their lives to break through.
Young and strong soldiers rushed ahead, women, children, old and weak drove cattle and sheep, pushed carts, packed tents, etc. huddled together in the valley, eagerly watching.
Less than half an hour after the start of the battle, Chengqian estimated that 8,000 horsemen would attack and lose thousands of horses.
But they killed and injured several times more Tuyuhun people, let alone shattered their attempts to break out again and again.
"Where is Hou Junji?"
Chengqian couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and the battle began to fall into a stalemate, which was extremely unfavorable for the small number of Tang Qi.
He originally thought that the Tuyuhun people would not be able to withstand a few rounds of impact and would be defeated soon, just like that night, but today's Tuyuhun people are extraordinarily brave.
The soldiers and horses they assembled to break through were scattered by repeated defeats, but soon made a comeback.
"Your Highness."
A Lu Ben captain reminded him worriedly, "Our cavalry is losing momentum and will soon be unable to charge. We will not be able to stop these Tuyuhun people who are desperately trying to break through and escape."
Another person said, "I am worried that other Tuyuhun people who are nearby will arrive!"
Within this hundred miles, there used to be more than a dozen groups of Tuyuhun people stationed there, adding up to more than 300,000 people. They came with families, old and young, drove cattle and sheep, and carried tents on their backs. They were all going to rob the east.
Chengqian's surprise attack disrupted their plans. Currently, there are only three Tuyuhun tribes whose movements are known. The first one is the former main camp of Murong Cheng. The tens of thousands of horses who came here regrouped the hundreds of thousands of horses.
The third road is tens of miles to the east of here, and it is blocking the tens of thousands of Tuyuhun tribe of Tuoba Chici's 30,000 Tibetans.
In addition to these three, there are more than a dozen troops, adding up to more than 100,000.
The arrival of any one of them may break the balance of the battlefield situation here, and make Tang Jun fall into a place of eternal doom.
Chengqian tried his best to keep calm.
What Lu Ben’s lieutenants said was not wrong. He underestimated the will to survive of those Tuyuhun people who wanted to escape. Now he is caught in a dilemma, riding a tiger.
After fighting for so long, it is not realistic to adjust the deployment now and open a way for the Tuyuhun people to break through.
Eight thousand cavalry have been on the battlefield for a long time, with a lot of casualties, and they are starting to get tired. If they order to retreat at this time and let go all the way, it is very likely that Tang cavalry will be defeated directly.
So such an order was not a last resort, and Cheng Qian did not dare to issue it lightly.
Cavalry is a very fierce unit, but once fighting, especially after fighting for so long, it is not easy to readjust.
Furthermore, Chengqian felt that the end of the mountain had not yet come.
"Tuoba Chici led 30,000 horsemen, only a few dozen miles away from us. Guzao has already sent someone to summon them."
Chengqian looked at himself and the reserve teams on the two wings. There were five reserve teams, with a total of more than 1,200 riders. This was the last line of defense and the last reserve force.
"The spit thieves are about to die, as long as we persist, we can defeat them."
At this time, the two armies are wrestling with each other, and they are reaching the limit. Whoever gives up first will lose.
Chengqian didn't want to give up.
"Do you want the ministers to lead the reserve team to attack?"
"Wait a little longer, it's not time yet!"
Chengqian narrowed his eyes and looked at the two armies strangling together.
After watching the battle for about half an hour, only about 5,000 of the Tang cavalry were left in the eight thousand attack, and the speed was getting slower and slower, and they couldn't charge up.
Speed is the magic weapon for cavalry to win. Once they cannot run, they will not only fail to win the victory, but will also be defeated by the enemy.
"follow me!"
Chengqian finally couldn't bear it anymore, he let out a loud roar, and stepped forward with his spear.
Two hundred brigade knights closely guarded the prince and galloped forward, while more cavalry urged their mounts to gallop away, and the standard bearers held the flag high.
Five reserve regiments with more than 1,200 riders quickly gathered in the middle.
Seeing Prince Tang's banner, the Tuyuhun people immediately surrounded him.
The two sides fought in a melee.
Chengqian held Ma Qiang between his sides and stabbed straight horizontally, roaring again and again.
He saw a Luben guard mount was shot into a hedgehog by several Tuyuhun people's bone arrows and fell to the ground and died.
A Luben knight pierced through a young Tuyuhun warrior standing in front of him with a spear, and flew him into the air. But the next moment, he was thrown by several hatchets, and one ax was stuck on his bright armor. And another ax directly hit his face, he fell off the horse, passed out before he could even take off the stirrups, was dragged away by the horse, and then several Tuyuhun people surrounded him and stabbed him out with spears. Several blood holes, kill him.
An arrow roared, Chengqian raised his left arm, blocked the arrow with the arm shield on his arm, and then stepped forward with his horse, stabbed him to death with a spear, and kicked another Tuyuhun warrior's ribs with his horse.
Arrows rained down on his head, most of which were blocked by the shield, and some fell on his armor. The fine and strong three-layer armor on his body played an important role again. Several arrows bounced off the armor, and only one or two broke through. He put on the armor protection, bit his flesh, he moved a little bit, it didn't feel serious, so he didn't bother to take care of it.
The addition of more than 1,200 fresh cavalry lifted the spirits of the already exhausted cavalry.
The Tuyuhun people, who were also exhausted, were terrified.
As one rises and the other fades, Tang Qi cheers up and launches a beautiful onslaught.
Tang Qi charged up again. Under their vigorous impact, the Tuyuhun people gradually collapsed and retreated one after another.
An unlucky Tuyuhun man was unable to escape, and Xi Junmai rode his horse to catch up with him. He swung his huge Mo knife and slashed through it. It was split in two and his upper body fell off the horse. Half of his body was running back, blood from his intestines spilled all over the ground.
Chengqian roared excitedly, shouting to kill.
He wants to take the opportunity to completely defeat these damned Tuyuhun people, and settle the battle with one battle.
A Tuyuhun who was being pursued by him turned around and threw the spear in his hand at him, Cheng Qian raised his shield to block, the shield was shattered and debris was scattered everywhere.
Debris hit his helmet with a tinkling sound.
Cheng Qian rode his horse and chased fiercely, and finally caught up with this unarmed guy. He swung his lance and stabbed through the bearded guy with one lance.
The man was vomiting blood on the horse, but fiercely clamped the horse's belly with his legs.
Chengqian received the lance, but found that the man clamped his horse lance tightly with his arms, and the two raced on the horse while fighting for the lance.
Chengqian pulled several times, but failed to take back Ma Qian.
He exerted his strength again, but the man fell off the horse in a flash, and he was still holding on to the lance tightly when he fell off the horse.
The next moment, Cheng Qian only felt a huge force coming from the horse in his hand, and before he could stop the force and let go, he was also pulled off the horse by that huge force.
When he fell off the horse, Chengqian decisively let go of the hand fighting for Ma Qiang, and Ma Qiang let go.
That **** guy was still holding on to the horse until his death, and there seemed to be sarcasm in his eyes.
Chengqian heard the exclamation of Lu Ben's guards beside him.
He tried to remove the stirrup again, but it was too late, his head hit the ground quickly, but his body was still being dragged away by the horse.
Bang bang bang!
The helmet on his head did not fall off, and he bumped around on the ground.
Suddenly, the war horse neighed and screamed.
Several Tuyuhun people stabbed his mount fiercely with their spears. The horse neighed and fell to the ground with a bang, and the huge Kangju BMW slammed on him.
Chengqian felt as if he was being crushed by a huge mountain, he felt great pain, and then passed out without knowing anything the next moment.
The Tuyuhun men held their spears and wanted to kill him again. At this time, several Lu Ben rushed to him. After several confrontations between the two sides, the Lu Ben knights cut them off their horses.
"Your Highness!"
The Luben knight who killed Tuyuhun jumped off his horse regardless of his serious injuries.
The Crown Prince was lying on the ground without knowing whether he was alive or dead, covered in blood and mud, his helmet fell to the side, and both legs were crushed under the horse.
"Get the horse off the ground!"
Several Lu Ben struggled to lift the heavy horse corpse, and one of them quickly cut off the stirrup and dragged the prince out from under the horse.
"Your Highness?"
The Lu Ben officer who finally rescued the prince from under the horse's corpse was horrified to find that one of the prince's feet was twisted into a weird angle.
"Your Highness!"
Several Lu Ben hurried over to check, but saw that the crown prince's right shin was broken, and Bai Sensen's leg bone had pierced through the flesh, and even tore through the military uniform.
"It's broken!" a Lu Ben murmured with a pale face.
Another Lu Ben captain hurried to check the prince's breathing, and found that the prince seemed to be still breathing, so he pinched him and called out for the prince.
Finally, the prince opened his eyes, his face full of pain.
"where am I?"
"Your Highness, this is the battlefield."
When Cheng Qian moved, his whole body was in pain like falling apart, especially the sharp pain came from that leg. He looked down and just saw the pierced flesh and military uniform stabbing obliquely from the side of the shin guard. the broken bone.
"my leg?"
Chengqian was dizzy, he wanted to reach out to touch his leg, but bursts of severe pain rushed straight to his brain, and in a trance, he passed out again.
On the battlefield, Tang Qi’s momentum was still strong, just like a hurricane rushing forward, chasing and beating all the way, the Tuyuhun people retreated steadily, and finally under another earth-shattering roar of Tang Qi’s furious attack, the Tuyuhun people finally lost their fighting spirit, and some people turned around and ran away , Then more people began to flee from the battle, and finally, everyone started to flee in panic!
Outside the valley, a horn sounded suddenly.
Then a black line appeared on the horizon, and soon the black line turned into a black tide, and then, a red flag suddenly appeared.
Tang Jun.
Hou Junji's rear army Shanshan is late!
