Ma Li glanced at the tower forest of the temple and his eyes lit up.
He pointed at Talin and said to Xiong Hu, "Did you see it?"
"Didn't you see it?" Xiong Hu didn't understand what Ma Li was thinking.
Xiong Hu is half a scholar, and military affairs are not his strong point, which makes him feel a little baffled.
Ma Li changed slightly: "What does the cavalry still have?"
"The advantage of cavalry is of course charging." As the chief clerk, Xiong Hu still has these basic skills.
Ma Li pointed at Tallinn and asked Xiong Hu: "If they were in Tallinn, would they still be able to charge?"
Xiong Hu looked at Talin and shook his head: "But we can't charge anymore."
"If heavy cavalry can't charge, what's the difference between heavy cavalry and light cavalry?" Ma Li patiently explained.
"It makes sense." Xiong Hu suddenly realized, but he quickly frowned, "What should He Sian and the others do? We can't abandon them. Besides, we are sending troops this time just for that little lady."
Ma Li nodded: "Of course we have to consider He Sian and the others. The advantage of cavalry is to charge on the ground, but the disadvantage is to charge up the mountain. Ordinary cavalry is like this, and heavy cavalry is even worse."
"Ziqi, then she must be protected. This is the top priority of the security team." Xiong Hu thought for a while, felt a little worried, and reminded Ma Li.
Although he cannot command, he is the chief after all. Even Ma Li, the general, must consider his speech to some extent.
"Zi Biao, of course. Zong Heng, you take ten cavalry and go up the mountain to protect the little lady and the others." Ma Li nodded and said to Li Heng, the captain of his own army.
They only have a hundred people in total, and they still have to deal with heavy cavalry. It is not easy to separate ten cavalry.
Li Heng opened his mouth, unable to believe his ears: "Captain, the villain's duty is to protect you, how can I leave you?"
"Am I the formation leader, or are you the formation leader?" Ma Li was furious and shouted at Li Heng.
Faced with Ma Li's roar, Li Heng had no choice but to reply: "Array leader, of course he is the array leader."
"Zong Heng, why don't you go up the mountain to protect the little lady, otherwise Tubo will come in front of you." Ma Li waved to Li Heng, signaling him to leave quickly.
Li Heng hesitated for a few times, but finally saluted immediately: "Follow your orders, formation leader, be careful."
After speaking, he led ten soldiers up the mountain.
Seeing this, Xiong Hu nodded with admiration in his eyes.
Ma Ma sent his own soldiers up the mountain to protect the little lady. This was a risk of death for the sake of survival.
However, while Xiong Hu was impressed, he was still worried about this head-on fight with the heavy cavalry.
After all, heavy cavalry is not light cavalry, and its impact and defensive power are far superior to light cavalry.
Against light cavalry such as monk soldiers, they can be said to have a smooth fight and almost capture them with ease.
But against heavy cavalry, they were not sure at all. After all, the opponent's number was more than three times theirs.
If we were sure, the heavy cavalry would not break through General Zhao Yang's defense and enter the temple.
Xiong Hu thought very long-term. The goal of both parties was the young lady. What if the Tubo heavy cavalry gave up the security group, went directly to the mountain, and took the young lady away?
Thinking of this, Xiong Hu frowned and looked at Ma Li.
After all, he is a chief clerk, and military affairs are not his specialty. Controlling the life and logistics of this army of soldiers is his specialty.
Of course, Ma Li knew Xiong Hu's worries, but it was not the time to explain to him.
Moreover, time is very urgent now, and the cavalry must race against time. Time is life, and time is the guarantee of victory.
Seeing Li Heng on the mountain, Ma Li waved his right hand and pointed at the heavy cavalrymen: "Charge up."
Rumble, rumble, rumble, the horses on both sides began to run, speeding up and getting faster and faster.
"Haha, haha, destroy them." Basang was still worried about how to deal with the security group, but he didn't expect that they would charge towards him, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
He took a look at the security team and saw that the other party only had one hundred people, while he had three hundred.
These three hundred men are his direct descendants, trained by him personally, and have excellent skills. He has firm confidence in this.
Basang's body is extremely strong, his palms are like cattail leaf fans, and his arms are about as thick as ordinary people's thighs.
Others were afraid of the security team's crossbows, but he was not afraid.
He was so strong that he could swing his spear as easily as a bamboo stick, and it was difficult to get in even if he splashed water on it.
When he saw the security team rushing towards him, he shouted and took the lead towards Ma Li.
He has extremely vicious eyes, and he has already seen that Ma Li is a military figure in this group of security groups.
He made a comparison at the same time and found that the horse power was not as tall as him, and not as strong as him.
While he laughed, he planned to capture the thief first and capture the king first.
As long as he captures or kills Ma Li, the opponent will definitely defeat him.
The speed of both sides became faster and faster, and soon they were close to a hundred paces apart.
"Launch, launch." Ma Li pulled the trigger first and shot at Basang.
Basang laughed loudly, dismissed the crossbow arrows, and waved the spear in his hand easily.
Dangdang, the horse-powered crossbow was shot down by him.
But Ma Li was not discouraged and continued to shoot the second arrow.
Basang was not as relaxed as before. He aimed at the direction of the horse-powered crossbow and still shot it down.
Ma Li couldn't help but take a closer look, and saw that this man had wicker armor and a spear in his hand as thick as a child's arm. He should obviously be a general or something like that.
No matter how strong you are, it will still take more effort to swing a spear than to pull the trigger.
With Ma Li thinking this way, he fired another crossbow arrow, but it was still shot down by the opponent.
Obviously, the opponent was extremely powerful and actually made three crossbow arrows from the carriage miss.
The two sides soon approached sixty steps, and Ma Li shouted loudly: "Thunder."
After saying that, he lit the thunderbolt and threw it towards the Tubo heavy cavalry.
"Boom, boom, boom." With bursts of lightning and thunder, bursts of black smoke appeared in front of the Tubo cavalry.
The black smoke was extremely pungent, and many people on both sides began to cough.
Seeing the opponent throwing Hong Tianlei at him, Basang's heart almost jumped out of his chest.
He is not afraid of holding a bed crossbow, but he still has some taboos about this legendary magic.
He widened his eyes, aimed at Hongtian Lei, and struck hard with his spear.
Rumble, the thunderbolt was hit by him, fell to the ground and exploded.
The explosion still caused the war horse to panic, and it bumped to the side.
Fortunately, Basang's horse control skills were very good. He clamped the horse's belly with all his strength to stop the horse from running around.
However, not everyone has this ability, and not everyone has Basang's luck.
In addition to centurions, captains and other officers, there were eighty or ninety heavy cavalry casualties.
Among them, minor injuries accounted for most of them, serious injuries accounted for 30%, and ten heavy cavalry were killed.
After all, the hand-held crossbow is not a bow and arrow. It is far more powerful than the bow cavalry. In addition, it has firearms, but it still causes casualties to the heavy cavalry.
Although there were not many casualties, Basang felt that he had been humiliated.
Fortunately, they were only minor casualties, within the range he could accept.
The other party was armed with crossbows and firearms. These were long-range attacks and were not suitable for close combat.
As long as they are in close combat, they are not only heavy cavalry, but their protection ability far exceeds that of the opponent, and their spears can pierce the opponent.
"Haha, haha. Rush over and kill them." Basang shouted as he galloped on his horse.
Just now it was you who attacked, now it is the turn of the Tibetan heavy cavalry to attack, Basang and his men thought so.
Thinking of this, the morale of all the Tubo heavy cavalry increased, and their speed became faster and faster. They wanted to kill each other and stab them to death, so that they could sigh.
But what surprised the Tubo heavy cavalry was that the opponent did not fight hard at all.
Just as the two sides collided head-on, the security group took advantage of the acrid black smoke to turn their horses and leave from both sides of the Tubo heavy cavalry.
Basang felt as if the Tubo heavy cavalry had been slapped hard in the face during the battle between the two sides.
Just when the Tubo heavy cavalry was trying to regain the ground, the opponent suddenly dodged, causing Basang to hit hard, as if hitting cotton.
They rushed out of the smoke and saw that the security team had fled.
But the two sides were not far away, about thirty steps away from each other.
Basang laughed loudly while galloping on his horse: "If you want to run away, this temple is only so big. If you want to run wherever you want, you should just accept death."
Seeing that the opponent was not far from themselves, the morale of all the Tubo heavy cavalry suddenly rose.
Deputy Chief Basang was right, this temple only covers a hundred acres. No matter how fast they ran, could they outrun the temple?
You know, outside the temple, there is an army of Tubo heavy cavalry.
If they can't escape from this temple, after all, this is not a wide avenue outside, and the place is restricted. Even if they want to escape, they can't run fast.
The only advantage of light cavalry over heavy cavalry is speed. However, in this temple, due to the construction and roads, the speed cannot be fully utilized as it is outside.
Not only was it unable to perform, but it was also affected by turns and buildings, so the speed had to be reduced.
To escape, unless they can go to heaven and earth.
Thinking of this, all the Tubo heavy cavalry laughed loudly, drove their horses as hard as they could, and rushed towards the security group.
Ma Li leads the way, and Xiong Hu leads his soldiers from behind.
Seeing the Tubo heavy cavalry gradually approaching, Xionghu's soldiers lit the thunder, turned around and threw it towards the Tubo heavy cavalry.
Basang rushed to the front, closely followed by his own soldiers.
As expected, Basang was very powerful. He used his spear to deflect another thunderbolt, but it did not explode in front of him.
Although he hid behind Hong Tian Lei, his soldiers were neither as strong nor as accurate as him, and from time to time Hong Tian Lei exploded in front of the horses.
Some of the horses of Basang's soldiers were frightened. The horses either ran rampant or shook desperately, trying to break free from the restraints of their masters and stop charging forward, which seriously affected the speed of their attack.
Seeing Basang rushing ahead, the captain of the soldiers shouted fiercely: "Follow up quickly and protect the captain."
These soldiers blushed, and while controlling the war horses, they drove the horses forward, and their speed slowed down unknowingly.
Fortunately, the centurions and commanders followed behind, forming two wings of protection on both sides of Basang.
These centurions are all highly skilled in martial arts. Their horses and men are all armored and have extremely strong defensive capabilities.
The key thing is that all of them are good at using spears. When they swing, it is more difficult to hit the opponent's crossbow arrows.
Even if they are hit, they still avoid the vital point and still have the strength to fight.
Basang couldn't help but be overjoyed. With these centurions and other elites, they speeded up and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.
Fifty, forty, thirty, twenty, my God, the distance is only ten steps.
As long as they pass these ten steps, their sharp and long spears can pierce the opponent's body and achieve the final victory.
Boom, boom, boom, the opponent's horse is getting slower and slower. The distance between the two sides is less than two steps, and they can stab each other in the back.
There was a sneer on Basang's face. The opponent's colorful clothes seemed to have no armor. As long as he stabbed him, the opponent would definitely be a bloody hole.
In fact, the leather armor worn by the soldiers of the security regiment is close to the body and is somewhat similar to the vests of later generations. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell it at all.
Basang is so powerful that he can even lift the opponent off his horse. If he picks him up again, he will definitely die.
Just when Basang was extremely happy, the other party suddenly disappeared.
It turned out that there was a sudden sharp turn ahead, and Basang and the others had to slow down their horses.
Since there were houses on both sides, when Basang turned the corner, the security team actually widened the distance between them.
Basang was secretly angry. He was about to catch up, but he didn't expect that the distance would widen as he turned.
"They are right in front." His soldier captain had sharp eyes and could see the front at a glance, which was about thirty steps away.
This distance is already quite far. The closest distance between the two sides just now was only two steps.
Basang was overjoyed and waved the spear in his hand: "Catch up."
Boom, boom, boom, the security regiment's light cavalry is in front, and the Tubo heavy cavalry is behind.
The speed of both sides is getting faster and faster, and Basang has already made a calculation in his mind. The opponent must slow down when turning. He can seize the opportunity and overwhelm the opponent.
"Speed up, speed up, kill them." Basang shouted while driving the horse desperately.
Rumble, rumble, rumble, the ground shook, and the distance between the two sides got closer and closer.
Basang couldn't help but be overjoyed. The distance between the two sides was only ten steps.
As long as he crossed these ten steps, his spear would eat meat.
It doesn’t matter what kind of meat he eats, whether it’s horse meat or human flesh, he wins.
"Puff, puff, puff." He suddenly heard the sound of crossbow arrows shooting.
He hurriedly waved his spear with a look of disdain on his face.
For this hand-held bed crossbow, Basang has been able to intercept it with ease.
But what made him embarrassed and unexpected was that a scream came from behind him.
It turned out that crossbow arrows were constantly shooting at the heavy cavalry on both sides of the Tallinn, but the heavy cavalry focused their energy on the front and ignored the Tallinn on both sides.
When did the security group actually set up an ambush in Tallinn? Where did they get their troops?
He couldn't help but look forward, and only then did he realize that there were only a dozen or so cavalry running in front.
It turned out that the security group used these ten cavalrymen as bait to trick them into coming to Tallinn.
But when did they ambush? This takes time.
Basang now finally understood that the security group deliberately slowed down before turning in order to make time for the cavalry in front.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but became furious and shouted: "Attack Tallinn! Attack Tallinn! Attack Tallinn!"
But cavalry is not infantry. It is extremely difficult to turn around when the horse is running at high speed.
Basang had no choice but to rein in his horse and let it slow down.
"Secretary, what should I do if the other party stops chasing?" His soldier looked back and looked at Xiong Hu and asked.
Although they also have soldiers and horses, they are not many in number, only ten.
To attack or to defend, this is a dilemma.
