Chapter 47: A Great Victory, 150,000 Enemies Annihilated
Instantly.
At Panlong Pass, the cavalry formation of the Longcheng Northern Expedition Army burst out with a Longcheng war cry that swallowed up thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
King Jin Chen Huaian took the lead, and two cold rays burst out from his star-like eyes, like a sword drawn from its sheath, piercing the main banner of 50,000 Turkic cavalry, locking the Turkic Khan Timur among the thousands of troops.
It turned out that Chen Huaian had already noticed the Turkic cavalry hiding on the Wohu Mountain on the north side of Panlong Pass.
It was also predicted that the reason why Timur had not led the Turkic cavalry to rescue the Yunhui Army was because he had been looking for an opportunity to win in one blow and defeat the Longcheng cavalry.
The biggest threat to Timur and his 50,000 Turkic cavalry must be the 3,000 Longcheng Iron Pagodas under Chen Huaian.
Ten years ago, the former king Chen Polu conquered Mobei for the fifth time. On the banks of the Onon River in Yumuchuan, he spent half his life to eliminate Timur in one fell swoop and accumulated 100,000 Turkic cavalry.
In that battle, the three thousand iron pagodas of the Longcheng Po Lu Army under Chen Po Lu played a great role.
The iron pagoda heavy cavalry, like a torrent of steel, once charged in formation on the vast battlefield, its momentum was enough to be described by the eight words "people blocking the way will kill people, Buddha blocking the way will kill Buddha".
But the iron pagoda heavy cavalry was not without flaws. For the iron pagoda soldiers and horses who were all wearing heavy armor, the consumption of physical strength, endurance and concentration in the battle was extremely fast.
Once the physical strength of the people and horses was exhausted, without the advantages of speed and strength, and the enemy's infantry and cavalry were surrounded, it would be the nightmare of the iron pagoda.
The hook sickle spear, saber, trip rope, supplemented by hammers, pecks, axes, whips and other smashing weapons, even the iron pagodas with heavy armor on both men and horses could not withstand a few hits!
Chen Huaian calculated that Timur was waiting for such an opportunity, waiting for the opportunity for the physical strength of the Longcheng Iron Pagoda people and horses to run out.
It was even more accurate. Timur, who had already lost nearly 50,000 Turkic cavalrymen at Panlong Pass, would never roll back to the Mobei grassland with his tail between his legs.
Therefore, when Liang Erhu tried to lead the Yunhui Army cavalry to break through, Chen Huaian ordered the entire Iron Buddha army to attack and kill Liang Erhu, deliberately exposing his flaws and backs to the revengeful Timur.
Sure enough, after Timur discovered that the Longcheng Iron Buddha came out in full force on the Panlong Pass battlefield to kill Liang Erhu, the chief general of the Yunhui Army, and the cavalry of the Central Army.
He immediately ordered the entire Turkish cavalry to attack and enter the battlefield to catch Chen Huaian and Longcheng Iron Buddha off guard.
In Timur's impression, when the Iron Buddha charged, they would use leather ropes to connect three Iron Buddha soldiers to each other to stabilize the formation and increase the impact and lethality of the Iron Buddha.
This move has both advantages and disadvantages.
While increasing the impact and lethality of the Iron Pagoda, it also greatly limited the flexibility and mobility of the Iron Pagoda soldiers.
Because of this, Timur took the risk of leading the army to attack the Iron Pagoda from behind when the Iron Pagoda soldiers and horses in Longcheng were not exhausted.
On the one hand, he was betting that the Iron Pagoda, who were charging in formation, would not have time to turn around and deal with the Turkish cavalry attacking from behind;
On the other hand, the battle of Panlong Pass had been fought to this point, and the defeat of the Turkish coalition was certain. This was not only Timur's last chance for revenge, but also his last chance to defend the position of the grassland overlord and the Turkic Khan.
Only by giving it a try can there be a glimmer of possibility of victory.
However, when the Iron Pagoda in Longcheng, which rushed to kill the Yunhui Army cavalry, and the other two Longcheng cavalry, staged a wonderful comeback on the vast battlefield of Panlong Pass.
Then, the army turned around and rode directly towards the 50,000 Turkish cavalry led by Timur.
Timur suddenly realized that Chen Huaian had deliberately exposed the flaws of the Iron Pagoda and the backs of the Dragon City Cavalry to him from the beginning.
Because, when charging on the battlefield, the Dragon City Iron Pagoda soldiers and horses, who were originally connected by leather ropes, had already untied the leather ropes and charged on their own, freeing the mobility of the Iron Pagoda to turn flexibly.
Under the command of the second-generation Jin King Chen Huaian, they rushed head-on into the Turkic cavalry army in a dense wedge formation.
Boom!
A collision.
Shocking the world, weeping ghosts and gods.
The cavalry of the two armies, sprinting at high speed, collided violently without suspense.
The three thousand Dragon City Iron Pagodas, charging densely in a wedge formation, chiseled the vanguard of the Turkic cavalry with thunderous force in the blink of an eye.
Without stopping, they continued to charge under the action of inertia.
In an instant, the three thousand Dragon City Iron Pagodas turned into a sharp sword again.
Wherever the sword passed, the enemy cavalry formation was ruthlessly cut into two, and the left and right could not look after each other.
Then, the Iron Pagoda warriors were seen wrapped in heavy armor, with their heads covered with iron helmets, leaving only a pair of eyes.
Waving the spears and heavy swords in their hands, slashing left and right, as if even the air was split open, and splashing blood on the bodies of the enemy cavalry.
The 50,000 Turkic cavalry under Timur were like rolling waves under the charge of the 3,000 Dragon City Iron Pagodas led by Chen Huaian. Every moment, someone fell off the horse, and every second, a Turkic barbarian died.
These self-proclaimed Mobei warriors, in addition to showing their bravery and fighting side when facing the unarmed people of the Shuobei border.
When facing the charge of the Dragon City Iron Pagoda, they instantly exposed their weak nature and cowardly nature, and countless people tried to escape on horseback.
How could the Dragon City troops, the Northern Expedition Army's commander Pang Xianchu, as well as 10,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and 20,000 Black Armor Light Cavalry, who followed closely, let go easily? These barbaric beasts whose hands were stained with the blood of the people at the border of Shuobei?
Especially the commander Pang Xianchu.
The anger he had been holding back in his heart during the battle of Dragon City has not been vented yet.
Only by constantly beheading the enemy can he relieve the anger and hatred in his heart.
Pang Xianchu held up the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand and thrust it left and right, with a ball of hot flame burning in his eyes. That was his desire to fight and to kill the enemy.
The generals are not afraid of fighting, and the soldiers are not afraid of death.
This allowed the Dragon City cavalry, which was originally a combination of the elite cavalry of the three heydays, to still burst out with terrifying battlefield dominance when facing the Turkic cavalry, which had a larger number than their own.
With an absolute advantage, the Turkic cavalry was pressed on the horse's back and beaten hard, and they couldn't breathe.
Soon, more than 33,000 Dragon City cavalrymen were fighting with 50,000 Turkic cavalrymen on the vast yellow land.
Chen Huaian led the way, riding on the back of a yellow horse, swinging a Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand with great vigor, chasing the fleeing Turkic cavalrymen and slashing them fiercely.
In just a moment, no less than a hundred Turkic cavalrymen were killed by him.
Pang Xianchu was also excited to kill, and his Zhangba Snake Spear thrust left and right, becoming more and more courageous as he fought, and frightened the surrounding Turkic cavalrymen and dared not to move forward.
When the super elite soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry faced the Turkic cavalry, they swept across the area with a crushing momentum, killing people and chopping horses.
With the Iron Pagoda and Tiger and Leopard Cavalry charging into the battle, the task of the Black Armor Light Cavalry was much simpler.
Just be in the periphery, responsible for shooting and killing the Turkic cavalry who try to escape one by one. When they are excited, they will not forget to ride into the battlefield, raise the saber in their hands and chop hard, killing the drowned dog.
At the same time.
When Timur looked at the Turkic warriors under his command, who could only passively take the chop on horseback and had no power to swing the saber to fight back, two lines of hot and turbid tears slid down his sunken cheeks.
In a trance, Timur seemed to see the old and strong, Jin Wang Chen Polu wearing golden armor, standing proudly in front of him on horseback.
He pointed the tip of the halberd in his hand domineeringly and shouted sternly: "Take the banner of the Turkic bandit army!"
He looked again, but suddenly found that Jin Wang Chen Polu, who was about the same age as himself, had become younger?
It turned out that his eyes were blurry!
The person in front of him was the eldest son of Jin Wang Chen Polu, the new Jin Wang Chen Huaian!
On the other side, Chen Huaian leaped forward, holding a Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, pointed the tip of the halberd domineeringly, and issued an order:
"Xiao Po, pass on my order, the Jinwu Guards will attack and take the enemy army's banner!"
"I will obey the king's order!"
