"General, we are surrounded."
The adjutant was covered in blood, and he was dragging a Tang knife with a gap in his hand. The armor on his body was also torn, and the marks of the knife could be seen everywhere.
Guo Zhenying looked at him and said in deep thought, "How many manpower was lost?"
"The vanguard squad was killed in battle, and the heavy cavalry suffered more than half of the casualties," said the adjutant.
Guo Zhenying frowned: "The heavy cavalry was also injured or killed? Even if Yan Guo cooperated with the group of prairie savages, it would not be possible to beat our heavy cavalry."
"It's the temple, the Cavalry!" The adjutant said: "They hid in the Prince's Mansion and rushed out from the back of our army. We were caught off guard."
Guo Zhenying said, "Is it true?"
"General, we have no chance of winning this battle. Let the general protect you from Jicheng," the adjutant said.
Guo Zhenying said faintly: "Since I entered Jicheng, I haven't thought about leaving. And the failure is already in our expectation? So there is no need to panic, pass the order, and from now on, indiscriminate attack!"
The lieutenant was shocked by this sentence.
"General, is this... feasible?"
"Why not feasible?" Guo Zhenying asked back.
"The people of Jicheng are innocent." The adjutant whispered.
Guo Zhenying said: "You are too naive. During the avalanche, no snowflake is innocent. From the beginning of the war, only Tang people can believe in Datang. All others are our enemies and are not worthy of trust. So let go. Kill! Although we will die, we have to take enough funerals away!"
The adjutant lowered his head and remained silent for a long time, and then raised his head, his eyes were already full of determination, and there was a touch of wild bloodthirsty: "The final will understand!"
Guo Zhenying drew out her Tang knife and stuck it to the adjutant's knife.
"Datang Wushuang!"
…
In Datang's army, there are two types of arms that have changed the talk of other countries in the Great Wilderness.
The first is the Xuanjia Army! This is a team directly commanded by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Where the Xuanjia Army is, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is located. Because the Xuanjia Army is only responsible to the emperor, it does not participate in the war many times, but this does not affect the reputation of the Xuanjia Army. The Xuanjia Army proved their strength to the world in the battle on the grassland not long ago.
The second is the Datang Heavy Cavalry. In fact, I really want to say that the heavy cavalry is the existence that really scares the Great Wilderness Six Nations and the grassland tribes, because this army will appear on any battlefield! They are like sharp swords, they are invincible. And since the advent of the heavy cavalry, it has not been defeated!
It is precisely because the heavy cavalry is too powerful and is not only responsible for the royal family like the Xuanjia Army, so it has always been the target of criticism from various countries. Datang is strictly required to control the number of heavy cavalry, otherwise the six countries will unite with Datang. Fight a dead fish and break the net.
Datang will not give in easily, just want to sanction my heavy cavalry with a few words? How can there be such a cheap thing in the world. If it does not show some sincerity, Datang will not only not reduce the number of heavy cavalry, but will continue to increase to a number that surprised the other six nations.
As soon as this point of view came out, not only was the Six Nations unable to sit still, but the temple was also a little uneasy. Therefore, they united with the Six Nations to form an envoy to Chang'an to discuss with Datang on the number of heavy cavalry.
After some difficult negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement on the number of heavy cavalry.
Datang
On the other hand, the number of heavy cavalry was maintained at 16,000, and then divided into the hands of the commanders of the four realms. About a region, the number of heavy cavalry stationed was only 4,000.
In addition, the number of the Xuanjia Army is maintained below 10,000, and it must never exceed 10,000. And the Xuanjia army is not allowed to participate in the war at will, unless the emperor's imperial conquest!
Datang made a full concession, and the temple and the envoys of the Six Kingdoms naturally had to show enough sincerity.
This sincerity is the number of god cavalry in the temple, not more than five thousand!
Before the mission of the Temple Envoys to the Great Tang, they had no idea that the fire would burn on themselves, so when the Great Tang made this request, the representatives of the Temple were confused on the spot, and immediately rejected the proposal.
Datang is also very straightforward. If you disagree, there is no need to continue the discussion.
This directly threw the problem to the temple.
The representatives of the six countries were surprised to find that the entire proposal was harmless to them.
Whether it is the heavy cavalry of the Xuanjia Army of the Tang Dynasty or the divine cavalry of the temple, they are a huge threat to them, and the Tang Dynasty has not made any demands on the military power of the six countries, and concentrated all the firepower. In terms of the temple.
This trick is quite old, and it is equivalent to directly shifting the target of the fire to the temple.
If the temple does not agree, then Datang will desperately develop heavy cavalry. With Datang's financial resources, it is absolutely no problem to raise a heavy cavalry of about 40,000.
Forty thousand heavy cavalry, the messengers of the Six Nations felt terrified just thinking about it.
In future battles, Datang only needs to gather 40,000 heavy cavalry and push them all the way to the end. No one can stop it!
After understanding this, the messengers of the Six Nations immediately united to put pressure on the temple. After all, if the number of sacred cavalry is controlled below 5,000 in accordance with the provisions of the Tang Dynasty, it will only benefit the Six Nations. There is no harm.
The influence of the temple is indeed great. This is unquestionable, but it does not mean that the six nations will obey the temple’s words. No matter how weak the country is, there will be no wavering on the issue of sovereignty, because this is a The foundation of the country is only because of its national strength, and its attitude on sovereignty issues may seem a little weak.
They really missed this wave of opportunities that the Great Tang gave to the Six Nations, and they were fools.
So the final result was that the Six Kingdoms joined forces with Datang to pit the temple.
A month later, the three parties reached a consensus and announced the results of this meeting to the entire Dahuang.
It's just that ordinary people don't feel much about it at all. In their opinion, it's just like that.
Anyway, as long as you remember, the Great Tang heavy cavalry is awesome, and the temple god cavalry is awesome.
What's more, the common people are even more curious about which of these two arms is more powerful
Regrettably, the heavy cavalry and the god cavalry have never fought each other on the battlefield, so it is still unknown who is strong on the two sides.
…
"Ah."
The heavy cavalry captain Tong Hu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up with the help of his teammates.
His horse is right beside him, his whole body is wrapped in armor, only his eyes and nostrils are exposed, because of the fierce fighting before, the horse's physical strength is also very exhausted.
This specially bred war horse is exclusively for heavy cavalry. Normal war horses can’t carry their armor at all.
Not to mention that there is another knight in armor on the battlefield.
But no matter how powerful the horse is, it is not invincible.
Since the birth of Datang’s heavy cavalry, they have never experienced the tragic fight just now. The prairie cavalry, the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom, and the last of the temple gods cavalry, rushed in turn, using wheel warfare to consume the physical strength of the heavy cavalry. In the end, the sacred cavalry completed the fatal blow.
After encountering such an impact, more than half of the five hundred cavalry can survive, which is already considered a miracle.
Opposite them, only a few of the soldiers of the State of Yan were left dead, and the remaining few had no fighting capacity, and their guts were scared.
The number of prairie cavalry was only about one-fourth of what they had just started, and they were basically wounded. Their eyes were full of terror, and their combat effectiveness had dropped by at least 70% compared with the beginning.
Only the god cavalry in the temple is still stable.
They suffered the least damage, of course, because they entered the field at the latest, and were basically responsible for harvesting, without being charged by the heavy cavalry in the first few waves.
But now, the two allies basically have no combat effectiveness, and the remaining two hundred heavy cavalry can only be solved by these sacred cavalry.
On the streets, the atmosphere is terrifying!
Rumble, thunder fell.
Wow, the rainstorm has arrived.
The raindrops fell on the armor, and there was a small splash of water. Although the distance between the two sides is not far, because the rain is too dense, it is impossible to see the opposite side clearly.
Tong Hu gently stroked his horse. Since he joined the heavy cavalry, this horse has become his mount. The two sides have spent nearly ten years together.
The longest lifespan of a horse is only ten years, and the lifespan of a heavy cavalry horse is even shorter. Therefore, even if you win this battle, you will have to leave Tonghu.
"Old man, this is the last time we fight together, and we are likely to die here, are you afraid?" Tong Hu asked.
The war horse snorted and arched Tonghu with his head.
A partner for many years, even if this horse can't Ren Yan, Tong Hu can feel the other's mood and laughed loudly: "Then let us join together and fight for Datang again. Everyone obeyed, get on the horse! "
The heavy cavalry mounted their horses one after another.
"Draw a knife!" Tong Hu roared again.
The cavalry drew out the special Tang knives, and the blades showed a cold luster under the washing of the rain.
"My sons and sons of the Tang Dynasty, we have come to the edge of the cliff. In front of us is the sacred cavalry who has always been on par with us. The good deeds of the great horror have always wanted to know who is better than us. But the question is. I already have the answer in my heart. Datang heavy cavalry, ****! Today, let us teach those invincible cavalry how to behave, so that they can understand that they cannot bear the name of the great cavalry!"
Tong Hu yelled out these words in a roaring way, and then the horse's belly was clamped between his legs, and the horse slowly moved forward.
The rain is getting bigger and bigger, and every time the horseshoe rises and falls, it will bring a lot of water trails.
"Heavy Cavalry!"
"charge!"
"kill!"
With three sharp roars, the earth trembled.
At this moment, a thunderstorm pierced the sky, illuminating the sky and the earth.
The heavy cavalry and the god cavalry all used this light to see the opposite side clearly.
The two sides collided together.
Blood splattered.
