Chapter 1989: Breaking the Longmen Formation (Part 2)
Not only Zhang Liao was waiting for the opportunity to fight, but so were Xu Huang, Zhang He, and Mu Guiying.
When they saw that the internal functions of the Longmen Formation were mostly focused on the five cavalry groups entering the formation, the three generals all knew that the long-awaited fighter planes had appeared, and they couldn't help but show excitement.
"Quick, go and send a message to General Zhang Liao. The fighter plane has appeared. You can..."
Before Mu Guiying finished speaking, he heard the attack horn from the east. It was Zhang Liao's order to attack.
Zhang Liao from the east, Zhang He from the north, and Zhang He from the west all immediately led their troops to attack the Longmen Formation.
Since the Detachment of Women was a mixture of infantry and cavalry, and had only a thousand cavalry, its reaction speed was definitely not as fast as that of the other three armies, but Mu Guiying was not willing to lag behind.
"The whole army attacks."
Mu Guiying waved her spear and started shouting, and she was answered by the shouts of 7,500 female soldiers.
"kill."
One thousand female cavalry led the way, followed closely by 6,500 female soldiers. At the forefront of the team were Mu Guiying, Hua Mulan, Wang Lanying, Hu Sanniang and other female generals.
the other side.
"The Flying Tiger Army and the Niangzi Heavy Cavalry took the lead and directly overwhelmed the Dragon Gate Formation." Zhang Liao shouted an order.
After Arthur and Qin Ji inquired, they immediately led the troops to change their positions quickly, while the six thousand main cavalry slowed down, and the three armies completely shifted their positions while moving.
Zhang Liao was obviously unwilling to stay behind. He rode his horse with a sword and rushed to the forefront of the 6,000 main cavalry, preparing to personally participate in the fight.
Seeing that the generals were participating in the battle in person, the Qin army's officers and soldiers immediately became energetic, their morale increased by 30% invisibly, and they shouted even harder.
The distance of two meters is just a snap for the cavalry.
In an instant, the Qin army rushed to the Longmen Formation, and the formation of the Longmen Formation also changed.
The Qin army in the formation has not been completely killed, but it is still possible to continue to accommodate the 30,000 troops.
Li Shimin decisively commanded Longmen, got out of the way, and took the initiative to welcome Zhang Liao and his four armies to come in, but this time Zhang Liao didn't care what he wanted.
The reason why Zhang Liao did not attack the large formation before, but sent 10,000 cavalry to explore the formation in five directions, was because the Longmen Formation was a whole. If he attacked from one side from the outside, he would be facing the firepower of ten small formations at the same time.
Now that there are five iron cavalry inside, although it cannot completely block the connection between the formations, it can also make the blood flow of the Longmen Formation not smooth. Naturally, the operation of the formation will not be as smooth as before, and what we have to face is not A whole, but a separate small formation of thousands of people.
After three rounds of arrows, the Qin army reached the Tang army's formation and once again killed hundreds of soldiers.
Tang Jun, who took the initiative to let go of the formation gate, suddenly became panicked when he saw that Qin Qi did not go into the formation, but came towards them.
Of course, this was only a small number of people. Most of the Tang troops were still very calm. They quickly moved Luzhai and Juma to the front of the formation as they had been trained before, and then lined up their spear formations behind them, waiting for Qin Qi to take the initiative to crash into them.
Qin Ji, Arthur and other generals who were at the forefront immediately sneered after seeing this scene.
This tactic was very popular before the war against Dong. The princes of all parties basically used this method to use infantry to fight against the Xiliang iron cavalry.
But what era are we in now? The Tang army is still using this passive tactic?
The tactics of the infantry were being upgraded, and the cavalry did not stand still. Not only did they have saddles, stirrups, and horseshoes, but they also experienced an unknown change in tactics.
Compared with before, the level of development of cavalry is obviously higher than that of infantry.
Facing the more advanced Qin Army cavalry, the Tang Army infantry used the old tactics from a few years ago. It was obviously not that easy to achieve success.
"The Gou Claw team comes forward." Qin Ji waved his arms and shouted.
The next second, hundreds of flying tiger troops holding shields rushed to the forefront under the leadership of Qin Ji. While facing the rain of arrows from the Tang army, they threw out the lock sheaths in their hands.
These soldiers have undergone professional training day after day, and are extremely good at this. Most of them can accurately target deer villages and horses, and they are fixed on them with a pull of the hook.
"Let's go."
After the cavalry fixed the rope on the horse's back, they began to pump the horse vigorously. The horse worked harder under the pain, dragging Luzhai and Juma to both sides. The Tang army's spear formation was naturally exposed to Qin Qi.
Qin Ji easily defeated the Tang army's Luzhai and Juma without wasting a single soldier.
Of course, it was impossible for Qin Qi to drag away all Luzhai and Juma Juma. There were still a small number left on the battlefield. Although some unlucky ones would crash into them in disguise, it would not have much impact on the overall war.
Although the obstacles of Luzhai and Juma were not eliminated, the Tang army's spear array was still sharp. If the cavalry ran into it like this, they would definitely be pierced.
Seeing this, Arthur ordered: "Prepare the hand axe."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hand ax weighing five kilograms appeared in the hands of the five hundred heavy cavalry female soldiers and the two thousand flying tiger elite cavalry.
When leaving Luoyang, Jia Xu specially asked Mu Guiying to take it with him, saying it might come in handy, but he didn't expect it to actually come in handy.
In terms of throwing distance, a weapon like a hand ax is definitely not as far as a javelin, but its lethality is far worse than that of a javelin. It is definitely an artifact for cavalry in close combat.
When he rushed fifty meters in front of the formation, Arthur decisively ordered: "Throw it."
Brush...swipe...swipe...
Two thousand five hundred hand axes were all smashed into the Tang army's formation.
That scene. It is very similar to the scene in the movie "Kung Fu Force" where the ax gang throws axes together, but it is even more grand and spectacular.
The Tang Army's spear array was very dense. After all, it was against the cavalry. If it was not airtight enough, it would only be overwhelmed.
Faced with this dense spear formation, the Qin army's hand ax was simply the nemesis.
After being thrown out, it knocked down a large number of people in an instant, and almost no one was still standing in the area covered.
The Qin army did not carry many hand axes. Each person only had two handles, but they only threw them twice at a distance of fifty meters.
After two hand ax throws, the Tang Army's gun array was in disarray, as if it had been bombed by planes.
The remaining Tang army wanted to gather their formation, but they had no time to react. Five hundred heavy cavalry female soldiers and two thousand flying tiger troops were in front of them, and the formation was instantly overwhelmed.
Guard Yang Kuan was shocked when he saw this. While commanding the archers to release arrows, he also asked the guards on both sides for help, and immediately brought sword and shield soldiers to support.
"Soldiers, hold on, General Mashanwei will come to support us soon..."
Before he finished speaking, Yang Kuan saw a female general in blue armor rushing towards him at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye.
The soldiers around her swarmed over to intercept her, but they couldn't keep up with her speed. The soldiers who blocked her in time were killed in an instant, unable to stop her for a second.
"Suffer death."
Arthur shouted coldly, and then threw out his last axe, directly smashing half of Yang Kuan's body.
Seeing this, a group of heavily armored female cavalry shouted: "The general is mighty."
