Zhang Zhao began to put on his gold helmet and armor. Qiongre Duojin glanced at Zhang Zhao hesitantly, then suddenly took off his cotton armor, and then shouted to the bear next to him at the top of his lungs.
"You're a dog, come and help someone put on his armor!" After saying that, looking at the three thousand party cavalry that began to accelerate slowly in the distance, Qiongre Duojin showed a determined look on his face, and he turned back to look at Zhang Zhao.
"The king is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. It is not appropriate to take such risks anymore. I would like to wear a golden armor to attract the attention of the party members. Please ask the king to attack the rear with sharp soldiers and defeat it in one fell swoop!"
At this moment, there were only two personal guards of Hanshandu with 600 men around Zhang Zhao, but they were both strong men. Barbarian Xiong, Dunzhu and others were by his side.
This is also the reason why Zhang Zhao dared to let Dang Xiang's cavalry come over. He was confident that he could withstand it.
However, Qiongre Duojin didn't think so. He felt that Zhang Zhao couldn't take any risks, and the party's cavalry came quickly. If he led two hundred people to endure a wave of damage, it would be easier to solve the problem.
Zhang Zhao hesitated for a moment, then Man Xiong and Dunzhu took off his golden armor and began to put it on Qiongre Duojin.
Zhang Zhao didn't object, he just patted Qiongre Duojin's shoulder lightly, and then he started to put on Qiongre Duojin's cotton armor.
Tuoba Chongde was so stupid that he made a big circle. It looked like he was going to fight Murong Nobunaga and the others, but when he was halfway there, he suddenly accelerated the circle and threw away the Guiyi army who were guarding them. cavalry.
At the same time, Li Yiyin also invested his small reserve army, and the pressure on the Guiyi Army suddenly increased.
On such a complicated battlefield, everyone was busy dealing with the enemy on the opposite side, and not many people saw the party cavalry bypassing them and heading towards Zhang Zhao.
The three thousand party cavalry arrived very quickly. Zhang Zhao was in a small hill next to the Baiyan Pond.
Behind it is the rippling blue lake, and in front of it are large and small salt ponds, which were dug deliberately to barely function as a trench.
Tuoba Chongde looked up and saw that Zhang Zhao's personal guards were divided into two sides. There were about two hundred people on one side and about three or four hundred people on the other side. They were ready to compete with each other.
However, the big banner that symbolizes the coach and Zhang Zhao’s iconic golden armor are on the side with fewer people.
Tuoba Chongde thought about it for a while and understood, because the mountain terrain on the smaller side is steeper, which is convenient for defense, but the place is not big. It may be because of this reason that more people cannot be deployed.
Tuoba Chongde didn't talk nonsense and pointed at the long stick in his hand.
"The man wearing the golden armor is the King of Han, a Tibetan thief. Capture and kill this thief, reward him with ten thousand gold, and make him a governor!"
The governor of the Dingnan Army was not the governor of the Guiyi Army. The governor of the Dingnan Army was the small military governor who controlled the civil affairs and military affairs.
As soon as the reward came out, the eyes of the party cavalry who followed him were red. This was a step to the sky!
Under the stimulation of such a huge reward, everything about the pit in the salt pond and the fear of damaging the war horse became unimportant.
Amidst the roars of joy that shook the sky, more than two thousand party cavalry lined up in three rows and rushed directly towards the hillside where there were only two hundred people.
As for the other side where there were many Guiyi soldiers, there were only a few hundred people doing symbolic harassment. They even gave their backs to the Guiyi soldiers on this side, and it seemed that they wanted to capture and kill Zhang Zhao in one go.
The terrain of this hill is said to be steeper, but that is all relative. The entire Baiyan Pond is surrounded by a flat river. This hill cannot be very steep, and the cavalry can still rush up it.
Arrows rained down like crazy party cavalry, crossing the surrounding salt ponds. Countless horse knights screamed and fell down, turning the salt water in the salt ponds red.
It looked like a bow in Xianshandu's hand, but it was actually a divine arm bow like a crossbow.
The power of the divine arm bow makes even the armored cavalry fall down every time they shoot, not to mention that less than half of the three thousand party cavalry have armor.
In addition, the warriors in Xianshandu were all fierce men with superb archery skills, so the casualties of the party's cavalry were maximized in an instant.
Tuoba Chongde used a stepped attack method, that is, every two hundred cavalry were used as an attack unit. These two hundred people held horse spears and carbines and charged directly, while the ones behind slowed down and started firing arrows.
After the two hundred people in front can no longer charge, those behind will speed up and charge forward, while those who can't move back will reorganize their team, thus ensuring a continuous rhythm of the charge.
This method of warfare is suitable for the cavalry to fight with more cavalry and a seemingly endless charge. It is the most destructive to the morale of the infantry. Very few infantry can withstand this feeling of despair under such continuous charge.
However, the soldiers of Hanshandu they faced were not vegetarians. The officers among these Xionghu warriors were basically the old brothers who had traveled with Zhang Zhao throughout the Western Regions.
In terms of loyalty and blind worship of Zhang Zhao, no one can compare with them.
Although there were only 600 people, they had 100 divine arm bows. They were still fighting each other, with crossbows flying from both sides. This psychological advantage made them more determined.
"rise!"
"It's coming! It's coming!"
Amid anxious shouts, two hundred Hanshandu soldiers squatted in one row and held the tail of the spear, and stood in the other row holding the two-thirds of the spear.
A forest of spears consisting of one hundred and fifty spears suddenly stood up, and the remaining fifty people were still shooting arrows.
Although the party cavalry in front of them did not have armor, the men did. Although the horses screamed and slowed down when they saw the forest of spears, they still collided with each other in the fanatical atmosphere and the ruthless orders of the knights.
Suddenly, the forest of spears in Shandu shook for a while, and the front row was immediately dented. However, the formation did not collapse, and the horses that were forcibly driven over were not very fast.
The soldiers of Hanshandu seized this rare opportunity to fight back. The horse that crashed in was hammered to death by Qiongre Duojin and more than a dozen people. The knight on the horse was pulled down and dragged behind. A heavy hammer blow.
Men and horses, spears and spears, immediately started fighting at close range.
Soon, due to lack of speed, the two hundred party cavalry could no longer bear the casualties, and retreated with the corpses of the men and horses left on the ground.
However, before Qiongre Duojin had time to take a breath, a second group of two hundred people rushed up, and at the same time, there was rain of arrows from the sky, constantly covering his side.
The set of golden armor belonging to Zhang Zhao was full of arrows. The long shafts and tail feathers even disturbed Qiongre Duojin's sight.
At the same time, arrows continued to fall from the top of his head, and every tinkling sound was a pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
One wave! Two waves! Three dials!
Qiongreduojin and the others withstood three waves of attacks. The corpses of men and horses on the hillside began to block the road, blocking the space for the party's cavalry to charge.
Seeing this situation, Qiongre Duojin even led the soldiers in a counterattack and drove away the fourth wave of party knights.
A fishy smell left Tuoba Chongde's mouth, and he bit his lips so nervously.
The situation was getting dangerous. In less than a quarter of an hour, at least three or four hundred of his three thousand cavalry were gone.
In fact, after the second wave failed to charge, he should retreat. The cavalry relies on the few attacks it just made. After losing speed, no matter what you do, the cavalry will not be better than the infantry.
But he was really unwilling to give in, because there were only about a hundred or ten people still standing on that slope, as if they could win it if they charged again.
The temptation is too great. If Zhang Zhao can be killed, the Dingnan Army can annex Longyou in Hexi Province.
At that time, there would be no need to be trapped in the four states of Yinxia. Maybe the Dangxiang people could become a powerful force in the north of the Central Plains like the Khitan people.
"Dismount! The heavy armored soldiers are in front. Yeli Division, I will give you five hundred men. You try your best to block the armored soldiers over there and buy someone for half a quarter of an hour!"
Faced with the huge temptation, Tuoba Chongde was still unable to give the order to retreat, and finally he decided to fight to the death.
"Change the pear blossom gun! Let's give the bandits a fresh taste!" Qiongre Duojin laughed.
One of his arms was a bit unresponsive. It was hit by a party cavalry with a bone. If he hadn't dodged quickly, the blow to his head would have caused his skin to peel off even if he didn't die.
As for other parts of the body, there is no good piece of meat. Fortunately, the quality of Zhang Zhao's golden armor is really excellent. If he replaces it with ordinary pierced armor, Qiongre Duojin might really be able to show off.
Seeing the party cavalry in black armor starting to gather under the mountain, Qiongre Duojin whistled at the soldiers behind him, and one hundred, twenty or thirty people rushed out immediately following him.
Come again!
The party members under the hillock did not expect that the people on the hilltop would dare to rush down. They were caught off guard and were beaten back again and again.
Tuoba Chongde was extremely angry. He had more than 2,000 people and more than 2,000 cavalry on his side. How dare you, a hundred infantrymen, fight my counterattack?
In an instant, the veteran Ding Dingnan forgot all the situation and consequences.
He personally picked up a horse pole, roared angrily and rushed towards Qiongre Duojin with his men. If you dare to run down the mountain, you will be killed.
However, Tuoba Chongde had just taken a few steps forward on his war horse when a stench that he had never smelled before hit his face.
Then a golden light flashed in front of his eyes, followed by a heartbreaking pain, warm liquid began to flow turbulently on his face, and his vision suddenly blurred.
In the sudden burst of firelight, the front row of the Dingnan Army cavalry immediately panicked. Even if the people were not afraid, the horses were too!
Qiongre Duojin and others who rushed down stabbed the knight and chopped the horse's leg. More than a hundred people, forcibly achieved an effect that could only be achieved by thousands of troops.
On the other side, Zhang Zhao roared and rushed down side by side with Man Xiong and Dunzhu.
Everyone seemed to have returned to that afternoon in Muni City of Zhongyun State. Four hundred people worked together and launched a countercharge against the Dangxiang cavalry. The flames ejected from the pear gun also shone in the rear of the Dangxiang cavalry.
Tuoba Chongde left only 500 men to the Yeli division. They were no match for Zhang Zhao's 400 in Shandu, not to mention that Zhang Zhao also had the Pear Blossom Spear and the Divine Arm Bow.
In just one cup of tea, Yelishi was chopped in half by the bear's axe.
At this time, Qiongre Duojin had been submerged in the black figures of the party members.
The party members thought that Qiongre Duojin in gold armor was Zhang Zhao. Even though he was knocked unconscious by the surprise attack, they still used their last strength to besiege. Even Tuoba Chongde, whose eyes were burned, did not leave.
"Barbarian Bear, Dundup, you two each lead a hundred people to rescue Qiongre Duojin!"
Zhang Zhao yelled, and seeing that the two of them were still hesitant, he was so angry that he wanted to go in on his own.
Barbarian Xiong and Dundup had no choice but to separate two hundred people and rush towards Qiongre Duojin.
Zhang Zhao knew that the danger was not over yet, and now it was up to him which troops could receive the order and rush back for reinforcements.
