Chapter 556 Seven in and seven out of Tiger's Cave Valley
When people are pushed to a desperate situation, they will burst out with unlimited potential.
When everyone is united and united, even if they are in a desperate situation, they can change their fate against the sky.
More than 10,000 prisoners of the Tang Army faced a complete desperation at this time. One step forward was death, and one step back was death. When there was no room left, the **** Minzhou soldiers fought back. And when the Tang army in the Five Star Fort rushed out to rescue them desperately, they became more and more desperate.
A glimmer of hope appeared.
Qin Lang had no choice.
Cui Qi died, Tang Jun's blood was ignited, he had to attack.
As for other things, I can't take care of them. Maybe the attack will cause a lot of casualties, but he has to go out of the city.
With a strong wind under his arms, Ma Qian pierced fiercely through the body of a Qiang who was stabbed by him, pierced his tattered iron armor, and pierced his body. The whole Qiang was picked up, and there was already Died out of breath.
Qin Lang shook off the dead body, and with a sweeping sweep, another Qiang fell from his horse.
"Go on!"
Qin Lang pulled out his saber and threw it to a strong man holding a cloth bag in his hand as a weapon. Arrows, he also had two feathered arrows stuck in his body, but he ignored them completely.
The two Qiang people in front of him were killed. The strong man threw the earth bag at the Qiang people in the distance, reached out to take the horizontal knife, swung it twice in his hand, swung the knife, and shouted at Qin Lang, "Thanks, I don't know the name of General Gao?"
The pro-army behind Qin Lang, Zhang Gong shot repeatedly, and shouted at him, "Are you blind, this is Wei Guogong!"
The strong man was surprised, "The little one has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, so I don't know if it's Duke Wei..."
"Do you still dare to rush?" Qin Lang asked immediately.
"Of course, the small Longyou Momen army is attacking Zhou Tai, vowing to avenge Cui Shuai."
"Longyou Zhou Tai obeys orders, follow me to kill!"
Qin Lang urged the horse to continue to charge forward. With a spear, he swiped left and right, stabbed forward and thrust down. It was impossible to block in front of him. Behind him were two hundred elite soldiers of Qin Lang, one hundred Turkic wolf cavalry, and one hundred Khitan sharpshooters, closely guarding him.
They are like an off-string arrow.
Behind them are the rescued captives, many of whom are soldiers of the Momen Army in Taozhou, and there are also many government soldiers and village warriors from Minzhou. The weapons thrown by Qin Lang's own army, or snatched from the corpses of the Qiang people, followed closely behind.
There were sturdy cavalrymen who robbed the mounts of the Qiang people, turned on their horses, and were extremely fierce without armor or helmet.
More than a thousand light cavalry, but they just broke out the momentum of a thousand troops.
Tuoba Qiang originally thought that the Tang people in the city had been tricked, so he was happy to come forward to surround them and swallow them in one gulp to relieve his grievances for many days.
Unexpectedly, this team is completely reckless.
Dash, Dash, and Dash.
Wherever it goes, no one can stop it.
The captives became more and more violent, rushing desperately, more and more captives were supported, either got the secondary swords and bows of the Tang army out of the city, or picked up the weapons of the slain Qiang people, followed behind the Qingqi, screaming Slash and charge.
Seven light cavalry, 1,400 cavalry, not only were not quickly surrounded and divided by the Qiang people, but fought in and out among the Qiang people, and more and more captives were rescued later, more than 1,000 people, are constantly expanding.
Behind each cavalry, there is a tail that gets bigger and bigger.
"Give me a bow!"
A Longyou Xiangyong shouted.
"Give me a bow, and some arrows!"
A knight of the Zhenxi Army threw out his horn bow and a pot of arrows, "Longyou Zhao Guang, thank you!" After passing the arrows, the arrows flew like beads, one after another, and the arrows killed the enemy. In an instant, three Qiang people were shot down.
Zhen Xijun was surprised, "Well done, Brother Zhao."
Zhao Guang quickly gathered several rescued captives around him, "Do you still have a bow? We are Minzhou archers!"
Several Zhenxi army knights threw their bows and arrows to them, and then continued to charge forward with spears in their hands.
······
Tuoba Chici beheaded the head of a Qiang headman who asked to retreat with one knife.
"Hold me, kill."
Chi Ci also discovered his command error. He shouldn't be too greedy to surround and annihilate the Tang army. If he directly confronted and shot those Tang people with bows and arrows, he would definitely not be in such a mess.
In order to encircle the Tang army who left the city, many of his troops dispersed and circled around the back, which weakened the frontal forces. The Tang army charged too fast, and the speed of the encircling troops could not keep up. Many captives were rescued.
What was even more unexpected was that the Tang army came prepared and not only threw their secondary weapons to the captives, they even deliberately brought out more knives, guns, bows and arrows. Countless captives unexpectedly quickly turned into fierce enemies. Tang Qi counterattacked.
More than a thousand Tang cavalry have now turned into five or six thousand men and horses, and are even increasing.
More and more captives quickly turned into ferocious enemies on the battlefield, waving their swords to avenge them.
Now Tuoba Chici is a little annoyed.
Tang Qi must be blocked.
"Shoot all those captives, quick!"
Seeing that half of the captives were about to be rescued soon, Chi Ci yelled.
Let's fight head-on.
Although the Tang people caught him by surprise, Chi Ci believed that with more than 20,000 horsemen, even if he was only considered as an elite young warrior, there were nearly 10,000 people. Could it be that he couldn't beat more than a thousand Tang cavalry?
A strange scene appeared on the battlefield.
More than a thousand light cavalry rushed out from five routes in the five-star fortress, attacking forward all the way, while the Qiang people split up several routes, outflanking the rear route.
The result was that the Tang army marched forward bravely, unstoppable, and rescued countless prisoners along the way. The prisoners turned around and joined the battle group, followed by the forward charge. Nearly half of the Qiang elite circled around in a big circle, but the Tang people only charged forward. If they don't retreat, they will be in vain for a long time.
When they made a big circle and then began to surround Tang Qi, they still couldn't keep up with the pace, and there was always such a distance.
Tang Qi rushed too fast.
The Qiang cavalry, who were resisting head-on, were unable to stop the charge and became chaotic.
The Qiang people in the front are guarded by various tribes. There are old and young women and children. In the past, the Tang army had never left the city to attack during the day, so the Qiang people really did not expect this, and they were still all together. watch.
As a result, when Tang Qi charged all the way in, this mixed tribe team made their resistance and counterattack look a little weak.
The young and strong warriors fought bravely forward, but the women, old and weak could not withstand the impact and retreated.
Some people go forward, some people go back.
Even some small tribes, the whole tribe turned around and fled under the leadership of the leader.
"Focus on those fleeing Qiang people, follow those gaps, and kill them through." Qin Lang saw clearly from his horse, "Hold up my handsome flag, and follow me!"
On this noisy battlefield, it was impossible to send orders and communication for a while, so Qin Lang could only lead by example.
The tall banner-bearer held high Qin Lang's handsome flag, followed by two hundred pro-military guards, desperately protecting him, followed by the prisoners rescued along the way.
On the Five-Star Fort, the left-behind infantry were shouting and cheering for their comrades, and the drummers were bare-armed, struggling to beat the drums with great enthusiasm.
The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant nest.
Tuoba Chici wanted to encircle Qin Lang, and then divide and massacre, but Qin Lang didn't think about turning back, he just kept rushing forward. He stared at the gap left by the small Qiang tribe's U-turn and escape, and led the army to attack and chase the small tribe. The small gap keeps tearing open and widening.
Under the guidance of his handsome flag, all the Tang cavalry, including those rescued soldiers, village braves, and folks, followed closely, not to be outdone.
They counterattacked desperately, desperate to survive, and even wanted to prove their bravery with iron and blood, and wash away the shame of being defeated and captured.
They are still brave and still dare to fight.
Their defeat in Hequ was only due to the strategic incompetence of the coach Li Daoyan, and it was the commander Jiuqie Luosheng who underestimated the enemy and rushed into the ambush. Their defeat had nothing to do with their bravery.
When Qin Lang dared to venture out of the city to meet him today, each of them was proving themselves.
One after another Tang Qi pierced through that line of defense.
Tuoba Chici's encirclement net broke.
Qin Lang was chasing and killing the small tribe of the Qiang people, and Tuoba Chici led his army to pursue the Tang army.
Although the valley is somewhat undulating, it is still very wide after all, and the two armies are fighting with their lives in the valley.
After defeating the Qiang people in front of him, Qin Lang circled around with his soldiers and horses, and counterattacked in a roundabout way. He specifically stared at those small tribes with a small number, or some old and weak women and children waiting to be killed.
Defeat Qiang one after another, and rescue groups of captives.
Tuoba Chici could only follow behind and pursue, but he couldn't surround Qin Lang at all.
Repeatedly rushing and killing, all blood is bathed in blood.
"Duke Wei, everyone has been rescued, should we retreat?"
Liang Jianfang didn't know when he caught up. He was also naked, bathed in the whole body, and there were several feathered arrows on his armor.
Qin Lang reined in his horse and looked around. The whole valley was already in chaos, with soldiers and horses fighting and fighting everywhere.
"Have everyone been rescued?" Qin Lang asked.
"Many were killed by the Qiang people, and the rest were rescued, but now the Qiang people are biting hard. If we continue to fight, we will probably be surrounded."
Qin Lang laughed loudly, "Then evacuate to the castle, let the brothers in Minzhou evacuate first, and we will go to the rear of the West Army Palace."
At this point, all the men and horses are exhausted.
It's true that it can't be killed.
And Chi Ci is still leading his troops in hot pursuit.
Fight and retreat.
Fighting until noon, Qin Lang finally retreated to the front of the castle with the last cavalry.
Tuoba Chici led thousands of cavalry in hot pursuit.
Qin Lang reined in his horse and turned around.
"Tuoba Chici has worked hard, there is no need to send any more." Qin Lang laughed.
Seeing Qin Lang stop, Qiang Qi chased after him with red eyes, kicking his horse's belly fiercely.
It was about to catch up, but the eight oxen crossbows in the city showed their power, and countless crossbow spears roared, instantly covering the grassland in front of Qin Lang.
Nearly a hundred Qiang cavalry who were rushing, screaming again and again, were all nailed to the ground, and no one was spared.
The Qiang cavalry behind them reined in their horses.
The warhorse stood up, neighing again and again.
But no one dared to take half a step forward!
