"Then what if Hudar doesn't let the cavalry go forward? Or what if he continues to advance like yesterday?" Zhi Si thought for a moment and asked.
"According to circumstances, if they are still moving forward as they did yesterday, then we will stick to yesterday's routine. Anyway, we are not afraid of going slowly. It is not us who are anxious now." Qibi Heli shook his head, "This combat mission is meant to be flexible and adaptable. , our cavalry’s mission is to interfere anyway, whether it’s combat or interference, we all have to look at the fighter plane.”
"If tomorrow starts smoothly according to my battle plan, then we will attack here. If the enemy's cavalry troops come here tomorrow, but the cavalry attacking the baggage behind has not attacked yet, we will not wait and kill directly first. Say it again."
"yes!"
…
After a night of silence, the next day, just as Qibi Heli said, Hudar made the same judgment as Qibi Heli.
In order to speed up the march, he ordered the 30,000 cavalry to move forward for fifteen miles and keep a distance of about fifteen miles from the infantry behind them, so that the infantry could maintain the maximum marching speed. And if there are obstacles ahead, 30,000 cavalry are enough to clear them.
We can't blame Hudar for being careless, nor can we blame Hudar for being brainless. He was too hasty.
In other words, the military situation forced him to be anxious, and the importance of Liaodong City prevented them from losing Liaodong City.
In a hurry, Hudar indeed neglected his rear.
He didn't know that behind him, 10,000 cavalrymen led their horses on foot under the cover of night and had already reached a place more than a thousand meters away from them.
The rear of Hudar's army was indeed a baggage force. Fortunately, he was not without any defense. There was an infantry force of 3,000 people behind the baggage force.
When Hudar's army began to move in the early morning, the first to move were the 30,000 cavalry.
In the mountain forest on their side, several Datang soldiers stared here all night, confirming through binoculars that the cavalry troops in front were at least ten or twenty miles away, and then these Datang soldiers decisively jumped from their own He took out a steel cannon barrel from his arms.
Then an optimized fireworks bomb was stuffed into the barrel.
With a "bang" and a dull sound, a firework with a sharp whistling sound instantly rose to a height of more than a hundred meters on the top of the mountain, and then exploded with a "boom" and made a loud noise. .
The huge sound echoed throughout the valley. It can be said that everyone in Hudar's army was shocked. Before they could recover from their confusion, a group of Tang Dynasty people who had already prepared were behind them. Four thousand cavalry among the 10,000-strong cavalry charged directly at Goguryeo's rear troops!
The person responsible for commanding this 10,000-strong cavalry was Ashnadur. The reason why he only sent out 4,000 was Ashnadur’s temporary decision. Because the terrain did not allow 10,000 cavalry to charge collectively, so he left six Thousands as a response!
The sudden shouts of killing and the passionate charging horns frightened the entire Goguryeo baggage and rear troops. They never expected that a heavy cavalry unit would rush in behind them!
Although there are three thousand infantry at the rear, the distance of more than a thousand meters is too close for the cavalry, even the heavy cavalry who are not very good at charging!
The four thousand heavy cavalry responsible for the charge today were already equipped with armor. When they rushed into the Korean infantry who were caught off guard and even frightened by the cavalry charge, there was only one end.
massacre!
The cavalry who cut in at high speed adopted the drag-knife tactic invented by His Highness. Their purpose was not to kill the enemy at all, but to create chaos.
The four thousand heavy cavalry directly cut through the three thousand rear infantry and entered the baggage troops. The chaotic Goguryeo army was frightened by the sudden attack and did not organize an effective attack at all.
The cavalry general responsible for leading the attack rushed into the enemy camp about a thousand meters away. When he saw that the enemy infantry in front had organized an effective formation, he decisively turned around.
Similarly, the six thousand cavalrymen at the rear also rode up to fight, but did not charge, because these enemies had already been routed and fled, and there was no need to charge. They were just there to respond.
After receiving the turning cavalry, Ashnadur did not hesitate at all and directly led the cavalry to turn around and leave.
Anyway, the enemy's cavalry are all in front, and no one can stop them from leaving!
…
Likewise, just when Ashnadur launched his charge, a second firework bomb exploded directly at high altitude on the mountain peak near Qibi Heli.
Qibi Heli, who saw the fireworks bomb, immediately ordered his soldiers to blow the charge horn without hesitation. At the foot of the mountain more than 800 meters in front of them, the enemy's cavalry troops were stopped by the explosion of these fireworks. Caught in confusion and uncertainty.
When ten thousand heavy armored cavalry rushed down the hillside carrying a rolling torrent, the Goguryeo heavy cavalry below were in chaos.
Because their formation was already in chaos, not to mention that the enemy had already started charging, and they had no room to increase their horse speed.
Some of the heavy cavalry on the edge mustered up the courage to rush directly towards the Tang cavalry, while more people were stagnant in place, not knowing whether to retreat and let go of the enemy's charge route, or to turn around and attack, because they had not yet obtained the The order of his general.
The 10,000 cavalrymen led by Qibi Heli did not hesitate at all. Although the opponent was also a cavalryman, they still cut in without hesitation.
Before rushing into the enemy camp, Qibi Heli directly let go of the bowstring in his hand.
Countless densely packed arrows shot straight at the enemy's camp. After shooting an arrow, Qibi Heli directly hung the bow and arrow on his body and drew out the scimitar from his waist.
There was no space for them to shoot a second arrow, but it was enough.
Ten thousand heavy cavalry rushed into the enemy's camp, and instantly everyone was on their backs!
But their team still rushed through the enemy's camp. Qibi Heli didn't know how many people he killed, and he didn't see the result of the battle. He didn't know how many brothers would stay here, but it didn't matter, the enemy The loss must be greater than theirs!
After breaking out of the enemy's formation, Qi Bi Heli immediately looked back.
There was still chaos behind him, and the enemy's pursuit as he expected never came. Because the part they were attacking was the vanguard of the enemy's cavalry, a large number of enemy cavalry were still in the valley behind in a long formation. They were disrupted by their own people and could not rush over for a while.
Seeing this scene, Qibi Heli shouted decisively: "Turn around! Fight back! Grab our injured brothers and take away as many as we can!"
"Woo!" A cavalryman next to Qibi Heli decisively picked up a trumpet from his waist and blew the trumpet.
The two cavalrymen on the other side carrying the red flag of the Tang Dynasty decisively followed Qibi Heli and turned around and rushed back.
