    When fighting Xue Ju, Qu Tutong had seen the triangular spike used by the army.  Almost half of Xue Ju's unparalleled iron cavalry was destroyed by this thing.  When he came out for inspection this time, he ordered his subordinates to bring this thing with them.  Unexpectedly, it really saved my life at the critical moment.

    When countless cavalry rushed over, their momentum was very frightening, and the rumble of horse hooves was like rolling thunder rolling over from the horizon.  The earth was shaking constantly, and the stones under the horses' hooves were jumping up and down.  Dou Gui swallowed, but there was not a trace of spit in his mouth, so he could only swallow dryly.

    More than a hundred cavalrymen of the Tang army came forward, galloping about a hundred paces.  Immediately barge the horse and open the pocket behind you.  The rusty triangular nails inside fell to the ground with a clanking sound.

    After scattering the triangular nails, the cavalry immediately ran back as if they were driven away by wolves.  It was impossible not to run faster. The Da Zheng cavalry behind them had begun to speed up and caught up in minutes.

    Shan Xiongxin rode his horse and stood at the edge of the woods. He had six thousand cavalry under his command.  He thought it was more than enough to deal with these two thousand Tang troops.  One charge should complete the mission.

    The horses running at high speed suddenly began to stumble, not one or two.  Instead, groups of war horses went crazy, and war horses kept falling to the ground.  The knights on horseback were beaten to a pulp, and some had their necks broken and were directly thrown to death.  Some simply had broken muscles and bones. When they tried to stand up, they were mercilessly knocked to the ground by the horses rushing up from behind.  After the brigade of men and horses stepped over, it was estimated that only a few bones would be left.

    The charging formation was like a wave hitting a rock, and more and more Zheng troops fell off their horses.  Shan Xiongxin felt shocked, but at this time he couldn't stop even if he wanted to.  The cavalry charging at high speed can only move forward, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of them, they can only continue to charge.

    Finally, we passed through the scattered area of ????triangular nails, which was completely filled in with people and horses.  It was this little thing that caused the Zheng army to lose five to six hundred men before it even engaged the enemy.  Shan Xiongxin was so angry that his teeth itched, but there was nothing he could do about it.

    "Fire the arrows!" Qu Tutong gave the order, and the arrows hit the Dazheng cavalry like raindrops.  Against cavalry, crossbows are a good weapon.  After seeing the power of strong crossbows in Long You, the proportion of strong crossbow equipment in Li Er's army has always been very high.

    There was another group of people jumping on their backs, about a hundred steps away.  It was when the crossbow was most powerful that Zheng Jun's armor was unable to withstand the three-sided penetrating cone.  After some horses were shot, the severe pain drove these beasts crazy.  They began to jump wildly, throwing their owners off, allowing them to be trampled into pulp by the cavalry behind them.

    Some of them were running around randomly, and the charging formation was suddenly in chaos.  The cavalry had to avoid injured horses if they were hit by those horses.  You can¡¯t get better yourself!

    The cavalry behind them saw that the situation was not right and began to slow down their horses.  A high-speed charge at this time can easily cause greater casualties.

    The Dazheng army was not a vegetarian either. The cavalrymen began to draw their bows and arrows and shoot at the Tang army.  Powerful arrows can fly farther distances with the momentum of war horses.  The crossbowmen of the Tang army were all light soldiers, and their armor was not as thick as that of the halberdiers or sword and shield men.

    Seeing the casualties among the crossbowmen, Qu Tu waved his flag.  The sword and shield bearers immediately rushed forward to defend the crossbowmen from the locust-like arrows.

    "Ming Jin, ask them to withdraw." Shan Xiongxin ordered helplessly.  The cavalry lost its impact and was at a disadvantage when shooting against the infantry crossbowmen.  Crossbowmen can aim calmly after being online, but it is very difficult to do this on a galloping horse.

    A large number of infantrymen came out of the forest. This time Shan Xiongxin could bring more than 30,000 people out.  There are not only cavalry, but also more than 20,000 infantry.  Since the cavalry can't handle it, let the infantry come out now.

    Lu Chu appeared next to Shan Xiongxin like a ghost, looking at the flag of the Tang Army camp in the distance.  Suddenly he said with a smile: "God help me, Da Zheng, to intercept Qu Tutong here. General, I have an idea."

    "Say!" Shan Xiongxin didn't like Lu Chu very much and always felt that this person was a shady person.  But this guy has a very good brain. No matter what he does or says, he always has Wang Shichong's thoughts in mind.  Although Shan Xiongxin didn't like him, he didn't want to offend this guy.

    "The person we surrounded was Qu Tutong, a former famous general of the Sui Dynasty. I heard that Li Yuan treated him very kindly. Not only did he become Minister of the Ministry of War, but he was also promoted to Duke of Jiang. This was rare among the generals who were surrendered in the Sui Dynasty.

    Since we have surrounded him, let¡¯s just play bigger.  If Qu Tutong is surrounded, Li Shimin will definitely lead his troops to rescue him.  The general can intercept and kill Li Shimin halfway. As long as he kills Li Shimin or causes heavy damage to the Tang army, the Tang army will have to withdraw.  The purpose of this attack has been achieved.  "

    Shan Xiongxin looked at Lu ChuFor a while, Wang Shichong valued this guy Buguai very much.  Such an idea came up in such a short period of time.  It's a good idea to surround the spot and call for reinforcements.  As long as he leads his men to ambush him, he has little chance of killing Li Shimin.  However, it is still feasible to inflict heavy damage on the Tang army, either intentionally or not.

    "General Lu has a good idea, leaving four thousand people here to surround Qu Tutong. The other troops should follow me to ambush in front."

    Li Er was worrying about the sand table and didn't know what tricks would come out of Luoyang City.  The initial period of a siege is the most dangerous, as the besieged party has not given up hope.  A desperate fight is inevitable, and Wang Shichong still has tens of thousands of elite soldiers.  It would be very dangerous for him to risk his life.

    Since Li Er learned how to make a sand table from Yun Hao, he has fallen in love with it.  Everywhere he goes, as long as time permits, he will definitely order someone to make a sand table.

    "Your Highness, it's not good! Duke Jiang Guo and Duke Zan are surrounded by the Zheng army in Yuhu and are in danger. Please send reinforcements quickly." Hou Junji ran in in a panic, followed by Chang Sun Wuji.

    "Why are you panicking? You haven't made any progress, point me out where you are?" Li Er was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.  He even scolded the panicked Hou Junji!

    Hou Junji immediately rushed to the edge of the sand table and pointed to the location where Qu Tutong was attacked.

    "What a desperate move! I didn't expect him to choose here and ordered the Xuanjia Army to go out with me. Yin Kaishan led the army to respond and must rescue Jiang Guogong and Zan Huanggong!" Li Er took a closer look at the sand table and immediately  Start deploying manpower.  Dou Gui is his uncle, and Qu Tutong is the person Li Yuan values. Neither of them can make mistakes.

    "Promise!" All the generals agreed in unison, and a moment later people were shouting at the entrance of the camp.  The Xuanjia Army was wearing black Xuanjia, and Li Er was also wearing black Xuanjia.  With a wave of his horse, the camp gate opened and Li Er galloped out first, closely followed by Yu Chi Gong.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
