Ashina Sheer stared at the opposite side with a livid face. He could vaguely see the figure that made him unforgettable... In fact, he and Li Shan cooperated very well.
Don’t you want Tang Jun to pursue you?
Don't you hope that it would be best for Li Huairen to lead the army himself?
They really came to the scene in person, but the battlefield was not in the broad plain, but in this narrow mountain road... Ashina Sheer gritted his teeth, suddenly drove his horse out of the battle, and shouted: "Old friend, please see me, old friend Please meet!"
Li Shan couldn't help but laugh, "That guy suffered a lot during the previous battlefield appointments. How come he doesn't have any memory?"
Wen Yanbo, the Duke of Xihe County who arrived with the army, counted on his fingers, "The first time was outside Guantao City, the second time was the great victory of Yanmen, Shan Yu escaped at night, the bow and knife were covered with heavy snow, and the third time was Gu Tao. In the market town, Jieli Khan’s calf was broken, this is the fourth time.”
Not to mention a complete victory at this moment, but the unfavorable battle situation has completely changed. As long as we seize the key road in front of us and build a defense line, it will be almost impossible for the Turks to break through. Wait until the Turks return north... From the end of October this year to April next year , in less than half a year, troops can be sent out at any time to regain the three states one after another.
Although there are still many important gates in Yuanzhou in the hands of Liang Jun, as long as there are no Turks, the Tang army generals have sufficient confidence.
Therefore, the depressing atmosphere was swept away, and the generals were chatting and laughing freely. Li Shan did not stop him, but he had no intention of talking to Ashina Sheer again... The situation outside Guantao City forced him to speak softly. I tried to persuade him, but the last two times, my words were all sharp. But this time, what’s the need to talk?
Li Shan pointed at Ashina She'er from a distance, "After this battle, the Turks will no longer be powerful. Maybe you can suggest that your majesty canonize Tiele... seems to be Liye Yinan?"
"Exactly this person." Wen Yanbo nodded and said: "In his early years, Chuluo Khan was extremely cruel and killed more than a hundred tribal leaders in Tiele. Later, nine Tiele tribes jointly recommended the leader of Qibi as Yi Mozhen Mohe Khan. , Yi Shibo, the leader of Xue Yantuo, is Yi Zhe's little khan, and Yi Nan is the eldest grandson of Yi Shibo, and is now the leader of the nine Tiele tribes."
Su Dingfang said softly: "In the battle at Guji Town last year, Yi Nan attacked the city for several days without success. He turned to Mayi, but turned to the west to escape. After that, there was quite a gap between him and Jieli Khan."
"This time Dubu and Tuli moved south in a large scale, there may be other tribes." Li Daoxuan added: "But there are no Tiele tribesmen."
Li Shan was making calculations in his mind, and Zhu Wei beside him reminded: "Linji County Duke has caught up."
Attacking at this time may cause many casualties, but it will definitely lead to victory... Li Shan will definitely not watch the Turks escape like this. He has to try no matter what, but he has been delayed just to wait for Kan Leng .
No way, Kan Leng selected strong men from the infantry in the army to form the Mo Dao team. Not everyone can ride a horse, and even if they can... they won't be fast, because the best horses in the army are all war horses, and Li Qianyou in the rear army is Fei. After trying their best to get hundreds of pack horses, the speed was naturally much slower.
"Want to rest?"
"No need!" Kan Leng grinned, and while asking the auxiliary soldiers to help put on the armor, he shouted to the back: "After nine days of fighting, it's finally our turn!"
The patter of armor sounded, and the Mo Dao soldiers who had been waiting for nine days and never had a chance to go into battle were all excited, holding up the Mo Dao as high as a person and shouting loudly.
After waiting for a long time, there was no response. Ashina She'er was about to say a few harsh words, but he heard excited shouts from the opposite side. He felt alert, drove his horse back to the formation, and sent his guards north to let him sort out the situation. Good troops can be replenished at any time.
After a moment, Ashina Sheer blinked hard, and within his sight were hundreds of heavily armored infantrymen, holding broadswords, slowly approaching.
Indeed, in such a narrow mountain road, heavy armored infantry can exert more power than cavalry, or even more powerful than heavy cavalry, but this also depends on the comparison of troops... At most, there are only seven or eight hundred people, Ashina She I can't believe it. Not counting the broken soldiers who are forming a team, I have thousands of cavalry under my command.
Several generals of the Tang army who had never seen the power of Mo Dao were also hesitant. Liu Rengui had seen it, but his position was so low that he couldn't intervene, and Li Shan... although he had seen Kan Leng holding Mo Dao against the Turkic cavalry. The prestige of Mo Dao, but what made him determined was the prestige passed down by Mo Dao in history.
A shower of arrows fell, and only the crisp sound of rain hitting tiles was heard. Ashina She'er's cheeks bulged, and he was already within the shooting range, but none of them fell. This shows that the armor worn by these infantrymen... is very... Probably better than heavy cavalry.
Ashina Sheer knew that he was in trouble now. The heavy cavalry also needed to consider the load-bearing capacity of the horses and the durability of the horses. They would not wear armor covering the whole body, and the mounts were only slightly armored. This resulted in that although the power of charging into the formation was unparalleled, But there will also be casualties. The rain of arrows cannot kill the cavalry, but it can cause damage to the mounts.
But now these heavily armored infantry... Ashina Sheer had large drops of sweat on his forehead. Within his sight, hundreds of black beasts were baring their ferocious teeth, ready to pounce.
Getting closer, getting closer, not only Ashina Sheer, but also the Turkic cavalry in the front line felt the pressure coming towards them. Dozens of Turkic cavalry tried to turn their horses' heads, But the space was too narrow, and it had no effect other than causing a small commotion.
To be fair, the effectiveness of the Mo Dao team in the war is actually very limited. This is mainly because they are used in relatively few situations. Under normal circumstances, facing hundreds, not to mention hundreds, even thousands of Mo Dao soldiers, the barbarians will not be able to defeat them. Not afraid.
Even if bows and arrows have little lethality against heavy armor, cavalry can weave around, attack from the side, and even escape far away. Mo Daoshou was so tired that he stuck out his tongue, but he couldn't even see his shadow.
The cost is extremely high, the training difficulty is also very high, and the range of use is not large, which also determines that the Mo Dao cannot become a mainstream weapon.
Unfortunately, the situation was different now. After the King of Handan's central army banner appeared, the passage in the rear was in chaos. Ashina She'er made up his mind to cut off the rear, forcing thousands of Turkic soldiers to hold on here.
Getting closer, getting closer, the few Turkic cavalry in the front couldn't bear it anymore, and drove their horses up with wild shouts. Kan Leng, who was walking in the front, his eyes lit up, and he drew his sword out of the formation, and with a sound After shouting violently, the light of the sword flashed in the air, and the sharp blade struck the first Turkic cavalryman on the shoulder.
The chaotic and noisy battlefield was quiet for a moment, and everyone witnessed with their own eyes that the heavy Mo Dao effortlessly split the Turks in half. The blade continued to cut, and the tall war horse was also split in two.
Li Shan, who had seen it several times at Yanmen Pass, was very adaptable. He was not dumbfounded like other generals. He just thought in his heart that a gorgeous and cruel killing had begun. This would also leave a name like Mo Dao in history. weapons made their debut on the battlefield of the Tang Dynasty.
A moment later, the entire battlefield exploded. The body was covered in blood and looked like an evil ghost, dragging the Mo Dao and slashing left and right. The Mo Dao hand behind him shouted wildly and quickened his pace, wielding the Mo Dao to attack.
