At this moment, the Tang Army's sharpest weapon, the trebuchet, was activated. However, in order not to hurt the Tang Army, they did not use kerosene as before, but used the most traditional weapon-boulders. And the target was chosen a little further away, slightly in front of the pier. This way, it would not be bombarded by the pier, and there would be no need to spend too much experience in repairing it afterwards.
Although the range of the trebuchet was actually enough to reach the other side, according to the plan, the Hexi Army, which had been waiting for a long time, attacked the Xiqi coalition forces from behind. Therefore, in order not to accidentally injure friendly forces, they did not use the trebuchet at the beginning. The target is set to the opposite shore.
I saw huge hut-like boulders smashing into the crowd behind the Xi Qi coalition, smashing countless cavalrymen and horses into meat paste, and the rolling boulders still took away the lives of many cavalrymen, and This is more than just one boulder. Although the Tang army had no plan to attack the city at first, in their view, the Xiqi coalition forces were very violent and it was impossible for them to flee to Songmo to start a defensive battle. Therefore, they did not prepare many boulders, but After learning from Ye Qingcheng's plan that they would fight a defensive battle in the camp, they quickly transported all the boulders stored in the baggage at the rear to the camp. Now was the time to put them to use.
When they learned that the front troops of the Xi Qi coalition had been beaten out of the camp gate, the Tang army generals headed by Wang Zhongsi walked out of the commander's tent and came to the gate of the camp. They looked at the two men who were fighting fiercely on the road down the slope. The soldiers couldn't help but sigh. This was the first time they fought a battle where they could sit safely in the commander's tent and didn't even need to lead the army. In the past, these Xi Qi coalition forces, who in their minds were like wolves and tigers, with extremely terrifying combat capabilities, were beaten to the point where they abandoned their armor and fled away. To put it bluntly, in the final analysis, most of the credit was due to Ye Qingcheng and his two men.
Wang Zhongsi looked up and saw Bai Quan standing on the flagpole again at this moment, paying attention to the battle situation below, and taking action again from time to time. With every flying knife fired, an officer from the Xi Qi Alliance stood up and dismounted. , which made him really admire him, and at the same time he was secretly frightened. Fortunately, such people were companions and not enemies. Otherwise, the officers of the Tang Army would have been sniped to death one by one.
The offensive and defensive battle at the Tang Army's camp was almost certain to come to an end. In fact, when Bai Quan and Ye Qingcheng released the two blasts, Huan Chenyu beside Ye Qingcheng was already waiting for the opportunity to move. He used fists as weapons. Three times, five times and two times, more than ten giant trees on the Sanggan River were broken in half. Many cavalrymen who were crossing the river fell into the water, which made the Xiqi coalition unable to cross the river again. The connection between the front army and the rear army Being completely cut off, the guys who had already crossed the river were as helpless as if they were trapped on an isolated island.
At the Xiqi Allied Forces Camp on the other side, the situation was also not conducive to them. After Ye Qingcheng's cry, dust suddenly flew from the northwest. It seemed that at least tens of thousands of cavalry were riding together. After receiving the news, the Xi Qi coalition suddenly became nervous. Chief Li Huaixiu immediately decisively ordered the front army to speed up the charge instead of letting people defend the rear. He told his men that these were just feint attack teams separated by the Tang army. In battles with them, they always lost more than they won, so they began to underestimate the enemy as Ye Qingcheng expected. Except for the last wave of horses that turned their horses to face the Tang army, the rest of the cavalry were still waiting in line to cross the river.
However, Huan Chenyu's sudden destruction of the giant tree immediately made the remaining Xiqi coalition forces at a loss. At this time, the last group of guys finally fought with the Tang army that came to attack, but When the fight started, they discovered that the opponent's number was not just thousands as Li Huaixiu said, but tens of thousands. Moreover, the opponent was different from the cavalry in the Central Plains. Everyone was good at riding and their fighting power was quite tyrannical. Not under them, such a Tang army had been hiding near them, and their patrols did not discover these Tang troops. It was simply incredible. In addition, the Xiqi Allied Forces who had invaded the Tang Army's camp on the other side also began to show signs of retreat, and the Tang Army began to use trebuchets again, causing them heavy losses. This made the guys who had lost contact with the other side look at the situation on the other side. , and the Hexi Army had already invaded the camp, making them even more at a loss.
Li Huaixiu, whom they had pinned their hopes on, disappeared at this moment. The Xi Qi coalition suddenly became chaotic. Although the Khitan warriors appointed by Li Huaixiu as generals wanted to control the situation, they were helpless in such a chaotic scene. The cavalry below did not No one was willing to obey their command, and the entire command system of the Xiqi Allied Rear Army was paralyzed.
The combat effectiveness of the Hexi Army cavalry is really not to be boasted. The Khitan who fought with them were defeated by them in just a few strokes. This was not only due to the number of people and combat effectiveness, but also the incompetence of the generals. The disobedience of the cavalry has a lot to do with it. Even the attack on the Hexi Army was because they were the last formation, so they had to fight. The penultimate formation was just like the previous formations. If the last formation had not been defeated, they would not have been able to do so. Not caring about the Hexi Army, just like their colleagues, these guys were defeated without much effort.
At this moment, the Xi Qi coalition finally panicked and fell into complete chaos. They could not even maintain their original formation and were engulfed by the rolling Hexi Army.
Their chief, Li Huaixiu, was still standing on the top of the commander's tent with Ye Qingcheng and the others, watching all of this happening coldly. Although all of this was planned by him, Ye Qingcheng was still filled with emotion. The cynical Beiyi, who was a police officer, was being slaughtered by the Tang army in front of him like melons and vegetables, which made him feel more and more unreal.
The surrounding Khitan warriors and attendants were already lying on the ground with their heads missing, and blood was everywhere. It seemed that it was done by a few of them, which made Li Huaixiu, who was standing beside them, still feel a little nervous. Ye Qingcheng and Huan Chenyu were the ones taking action the whole time. He just brought these guys together. He knows best what kind of power this body has to control the brain. After comparing it with the same direction, he knows this How terrifying are the two of them, not to mention that one of them has not started practicing at all, and the other is just a mortal incarnation. No matter how hard he practices, can he really catch up with them one day?
