After all, Murong Ke's light cavalry were elite, and they had a great advantage from the beginning against the sparse Xue Potian and others.
The killers of "Tu Mi" are all not mediocre. They were sent to assassinate Xue Potian and Lin Ye. This in itself shows their strength, because ordinary killers only come to die!
However, Murong Ke still underestimated Xue Potian's bravery. Under such an absolute disadvantage, he actually withstood the assassination of the "Tu Mi" assassin, and then led a few dozen cavalry to kill him. For a moment, Murong Ke had the illusion that he was the one who was trapped in a desperate situation.
After a wave of attacks, all the generals on Xue Potian's side were stained with blood, but Murong Ke's light cavalry suffered even greater losses. Xue Potian killed more than ten cavalry by himself, which was unstoppable!
Just after finishing the charge, Xue Potian waved his sword again and shouted loudly: "Charge!"
He took the lead, followed closely by Lin Ye and the remaining dozens of cavalry, charging towards Murong Ke's elite light cavalry like a pack of brave wolves.
At this moment, Murong Ke suddenly felt an extremely absurd feeling in his heart. He was clearly about to break through the Tang Army's Chinese camp, but he was counterattacked twice. What a shame and humiliation!
"Kill me!" Murong Ke ordered, and he led the light cavalry forward to kill him. With such a huge advantage, the opponent was not qualified to fight him desperately. It was just a fight between trapped beasts!
After another wave of charges, Xue Potian only had ordinary manpower left. After all, manpower is sometimes scarce. Under the suppression of absolute power, no matter how hard you fight, the effect you can achieve is extremely limited!
This is a battlefield, not a fight between warriors or a fight between gangs. Individual strength can play a limited role in it. The game between battle formations lies in the army!
Two consecutive waves of charges failed to kill Xue Potian and others. Murong Ke seemed particularly urgent at this time, because He Lianxiong could not block the "Iron Buddha" for a long time, and there was not much time left for him!
At this moment, Murong Ke's pupils shrank. The opponent did not continue to charge this time, but drove his horse back to the rear of the Tang army's infantry.
From the beginning, Murong Ke did not take the infantry of less than 200 people seriously. Facing the cavalry, even if the number was several times larger, it would be ineffective! Facing the charge of the cavalry, they could only be slaughtered like melons and vegetables!
But this time, he found that these infantry looked different. They were arranged in a ladder shape, and the crossbows in their hands were already pointed at their own side. They were in order, and there was no chaos caused by the cavalry rushing into the camp.
"Is it possible that Xue Potian relies on these infantrymen?" As soon as this thought came to his mind, Murong Ke shook his head and thought: "What a joke! These people can't stop the cavalry from charging. Everyone will die!"
At this time, he already understood that Xue Potian's previous charge should be to give these infantrymen time to form a team. Otherwise, under the charge of the cavalry, the infantrymen would be instantly defeated before they could get into position, and they would be unable to fight back!
However, even if you take such a big risk to protect these infantry, what can you do? At most, it can delay their death, but it will not help in the end!
If anyone else did such a thing, Murong Ke would just think that he was out of his mind, but facing Xue Potian, he would not think so. He paid the greatest attention to this famous general who was as famous as his father. !
However, Murong Ke will not be overly entangled, nor will he be afraid of the enemy. Now that he is on the battlefield, he only wants to deal with the enemy in front of him. Some things that he cannot figure out for the time being are not that important!
"Follow me and leave no one behind!" Murong Ke shouted loudly, then charged away with his cavalry.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The crossbow arrows poured towards Murong Ke's side like dense raindrops. The stepped exchange of shots left almost no gaps, and the arrow rain formed by the crossbow arrows became increasingly dense. Countless blood flowers burst out, and the charging Southern Barbarian cavalry began to fall on their backs.
However, this did not stop their progress. While the crossbow arrows caused damage to them, they also stimulated the bloodiness of the cavalry. Just when they were about to reach the front, something unexpected happened!
These infantrymen suddenly dispersed, and then exposed some strange-looking jet black iron pipes. Although the appearance was different from what he usually saw, Murong Ke reacted immediately. They should be firearms, more than a dozen firearms!
At that time, he only felt a loud bang in his head, and he was able to figure out some things in an instant. What Xue Potian wanted to protect just now was not the infantry itself, but these firearms. This was his trump card to turn defeat into victory!
These firearms were more than a dozen simple cannon barrels, designed by Lin Yan and Mo Shenji, and made by Qitang disciples and some skilled craftsmen of the Tang Army. They were called "Zhentian Lei".
While sacrificing part of its power, it greatly improves its portability. If used properly on the battlefield, it may have unexpected effects.
Xue Potian's two charges just now attracted the attention of Murong Ke's side. These infantrymen also had time to assemble them and hide them in the crowd, waiting to give the enemy a head-on blow at the critical moment!
"put!"
Following an order, fire burst out from these simple "Thunder Thunder" barrels, accompanied by a deafening sound, like the roar of thunder!
Under the sudden stimulation of sound and light, the cavalry led by Murong Ke began to appear in large-scale chaos, because the horses under them could not restrain their instincts at all. They neighed in fear and desperately wanted to escape from here, violently He threw his master away, and then many cavalry were trampled to death, while the remaining cavalry were also in chaos.
Murong Ke felt a chill in his heart. Once the horse was frightened, it could not be calmed down in a short period of time. Unexpectedly, the other party only used one move to make all his plans come to nothing. He was truly worthy of the name of a famous general!
However, he still felt unwilling to give in. The opponent's methods had been exhausted. If he charged forward at this moment, he would definitely annihilate them all!
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves in the distance approached quickly. The feeling of shaking the earth was different from that of light cavalry. Murong Ke looked up and saw a black torrent rolling in. That was the "Iron Buddha"!
"He Lianxiong has been defeated!" There was only one thought in his mind at the moment: "The situation is over!"
Murong Ke turned the horse's head, and then quickly retreated as a whole group of cavalry. Since the "Iron Buddha" was coming, they had lost their last chance.
As Murong Ke retreated with the light cavalry, the "Iron Buddha" also came with support. Xue Potian took charge of the heavy armored cavalry again and charged towards the coalition forces.
The light cavalry moved too fast, making it difficult for the heavy armored cavalry to pursue them. It was better to turn their attention to the battlefield. Now that Murong Ke has retreated, this war should come to an end!
The command of the battlefield fell on the "gun god" Lin Ye. At this time, he still admired Xue Potian's calmness and decisiveness. Those batches of simple firearms were still in the experimental stage, and it would take a lot of time to refill the gunpowder after being fired once. If Murong Ke made a desperate move, then few of them would be able to survive.
However, the opponent was finally afraid, and this became the key to reversing the situation of the battle!
The internal strife on the side of the Savage Alliance is intensifying. As Xue Potian leads the "Iron Buddha Tu" into the scene, the coalition's defeat is irreversible, leaving only a one-sided massacre!
After this battle, the Wilderness Alliance completely collapsed, and Murong Ke fled with the light cavalry and retreated towards the border.
Most of the remaining Nanman defeated troops were killed by the Tang army. There was no need to be soft in the face of these invaders! The people of the Tang Dynasty have been tortured by it for a long time, and now they are using the blood of these foreign enemies to pay tribute to the dead souls on this land, although this cannot wash away the sins they have committed!
Xihuang's retreat had long been cut off. He Lianxiong led the defeated troops to flee, but in the end he did not escape Xue Potian's pursuit. His head was beheaded, and Xihuang's army completely lost its threat. Even if some scattered remnants of the soldiers escaped with their lives, it would be difficult to cause any more trouble!
Xue Potian and Lin Ye made great progress after this battle, regaining the previously lost territory, and the crisis between the Southern Barbarians and the Western Wilderness was temporarily resolved.
When the news spread back to Chang'an, the whole country was shocked. Tang Emperor Li Junlin even smashed the armrests of the dragon chair with his excited palm. Without him, he has waited too long for this victory!
We can ignore these two huge threats for the time being, and then we can concentrate our efforts against Xuantian Sect. This is an opponent that is probably several times more powerful than Nanman and Xihuang!
…
The news of Tang Guo's victory spread quickly, and the Xuantian Sect in Yunzhou naturally got the news.
On the throne, the sect leader Wang Xuanli said: "The people of the Bone Corrosion Sect are really a bunch of trash, they can't even handle these small things!"
Although this was just a casual move, and the main purpose was to test the strength of the Tang State, it would be much easier for them if they could weaken or even eliminate the "Iron Buddha".
The second elder Xuan Jian said: "It doesn't matter, Tang State is just returning to its glory now, and its internal decay cannot be saved by a mere victory in a war! Moreover, his opponent is our sect, and there will be no luck!"
In the past, Xuantian Sect would have acted with restraint, which was why Tang State was able to survive. But it's different now. The ancestor's breakthrough is about to happen. This will be a new starting point for their Xuantian Sect, and the Tang Kingdom is just the most important stepping stone!
The remnants of the Demon Sect have been having a lot of fun during this period, and the Tang State also intends to unite with them to fight against the Xuantian Sect. This will just let them know clearly what kind of force is absolutely irresistible!
Wang Xuanli scanned the field and said: "The ancestor is about to leave seclusion. Please inform all parties that we should take action!"
"This time, let the world know that no one can provoke unscrupulously in front of our sect!"
"Their only fate is to perish!"
