Qin Qiong also gave the same order as Cheng Yaojin. His left guard was also executing the attack plan they had previously specified.
Because they had too few cavalrymen, and the other side was full of cavalrymen, the Tang army had no initiative in the war. They could only passively wait for Tuyuhun to attack and then launch a counterattack.
Infantry was naturally weaker than cavalry. Previously, when Li Yuanba was thinking about how to fight, he had racked his brains. In the end, he thought of something.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty itself did not have many cavalry, but why was Zhu Di able to conquer the desert three times? How could he use infantry to fight against Meng Yuan's cavalry?
Although there were firearms and other weapons at that time, one very important point was the combat concept.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di had conquered the desert three times. He had used infantry against cavalry, but he had still won a complete victory. One of the most important reasons was that during every battle, the Ming army's small number of cavalry would never participate in the early charge. Instead, they would wander around the periphery of the army and the infantry would defend.
Once the enemy started to charge, as long as the infantry blocked the attack of the nomads, the Ming cavalry would attack them from both sides.
Therefore, Li Yuanba also used this trick. Although the Tang army did not have firearms, they had their own advantages.
····
Tuyuhun's charge was still going on. The shield soldiers of the Tang army placed their shields at a 45-degree angle. When the Tuyuhun cavalrymen were about to collide with the shields, the shield soldiers immediately pushed the shields towards the Tuyuhun cavalrymen.
Using human strength to block the horse's power, how miserable was this!
Countless soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were sent flying by the impact of the cavalrymen, spurting out mouthfuls of blood. At the same time, the Tuyuhun Cavalry were also falling to the ground.
Many Tuyuhun cavalrymen rode past the shield soldiers in front of them, but what awaited them was a dense formation of spears.
"Pfft ~ Pfft ~"
A Tuyuhun cavalryman charged into the spear formation, and the warhorse and Tuyuhun soldier were directly impaled by the spears. The Tuyuhun cavalrymen widened their eyes as if they were asking why this was the case.
The Tuyuhun Cavalry was still charging forward. The Tuyuhun Cavalry was dying, and so were the Tang soldiers.
The cold weapon battlefield was bloody. It was even more cruel than modern warfare. The cold weapon battlefield that was filled with blood was even more a test of one's heart.
As the Left and Right Guards moved, Li Yuanba's Middle Corps was completely exposed to the Tuyuhun Cavalry.
"Warriors! Charge! Go and take your slaves and wealth!”
Mu Rong Qianlin was overjoyed when he saw the Tang army's central army exposed in front of him. Although he did not study and knew nothing other than fighting and killing, he knew that the Tang army's central army was usually where the commander was.
As long as he could break through the middle of the Tang army and kill or capture their commander alive, the Tang army would be defeated.
Mu Rong Qianlin sent out the last 6,000 cavalrymen and started to attack Li Yuanba's central army. The rumbling sounds of horse hooves seemed to want to crush everything.
Li Yuanba's cold eyes looked at everything, and the blood in his body was boiling. His blood was burning, and it felt like a warm current was about to gush out from his chest.
"This is the time! Pass on my order, the left and right military guards will move out! Seal off the Tuyuhun Cavalry's retreat and surround them!”
······
"Giddyup ~"
"Giddyup ~"
···
When Li Yuanba's order reached the ears of the Tang cavalrymen who had been waiting outside for a long time, the 8,000 cavalrymen immediately moved.
Watching the battle between the infantry and the Tuyuhun cavalrymen, the Tang cavalrymen felt their blood boiling.
The Tang cavalrymen waved their weapons and charged at the Tuyuhun cavalrymen.
Li Yuanba swept his gaze across the battlefield, his face expressionless.
Time slowly passed. When it was noon, both the Tang soldiers and the Tuyuhun soldiers had been fighting for a long time. Many soldiers were already very tired.
"Left Yi Guard cavalry! Follow me!"
Li Yuanba picked up his twin hammers and shouted sternly. He knocked the horse's belly with the stirrups and Zhui Feng galloped towards the right wing of the Left Guardian. Behind Li Yuanba were 3,000 cavalry of the Left Guardian. This was the last of Li Yuanba's forces.
Now that the war had reached this stage, the next step was to see who could hold on. Therefore, Li Yuanba also left his position as commander and prepared to join the battlefield with the 3,000 cavalry of the Left Yi Guard.
The 3,000 cavalrymen under Li Yuanba's lead quickly charged into the right flank of Tuyuhun.
"Bang ~"
Li Yuanba swung the huge hammer in his hand at an extremely fast speed.
The hammer struck a Tuyuhun cavalryman and he was sent flying. There was scarlet blood on Li Yuanba's sledgehammer.
On the battlefield, Li Yuanba was like a god of death. His hammers were extremely fast. With every swing of the hammer, a group of Tuyuhun soldiers would be smashed to death!
Yes, he was smashed to death! A sledgehammer weighing 400 jin, who could withstand it?
Gradually, the Tuyuhun Cavalry's gaze towards Li Yuanba changed. This young man's strength was beyond ordinary people. No one could withstand a single move from him.
"Han! You must die today!"
Mu Rong Qianlin was riding a horse in front of Li Yuanba with a spiked club in his hand. He raised the spiked club and pointed it at Li Yuanba.
"Haha! It depends on your ability!"
Li Yuanba raised his head and roared. Then, he kicked the belly of his horse with his stirrups and Zhui Feng rushed towards Mu Rong Qianlin.
Mu Rong Qianlin had always been favored by Mu Rong Fuyun. One of the most important reasons was that Mu Rong Qianlin was born with great strength. In their tribe, Mu Rong Qianlin had never lost to anyone in terms of strength.
He also liked the feeling of punches hitting flesh, so he had someone forge an iron spiked club for him, weighing more than 60 pounds. Almost no one could withstand his blow.
This was also the reason why he was so arrogant as to challenge Li Yuanba. He believed that this young man in front of him was no match for him. The golden armor on Li Yuanba's body told Mu Rong Qianlin that he was a big shot in the Tang army.
"Puff ~"
Mu Rong Qianlin also rushed over. However, the result was very tragic. Mu Rong Qianlin, who was boasted by Tuyuhun to have infinite strength, could not even take a single move from Li Yuanba.
With a swing of the hammer, he was sent flying far away. The dust that he brought up after landing could not stop his motionless body.
The Tuyuhun cavalrymen around Mu Rong Qianlin looked at Li Yuanba in horror. Their commander, Mu Rong Qianlin, who was known to have infinite strength, could not even take a single blow from the enemy.
"Who else? Who else?"
Li Yuanba, whose body was covered in the blood of the enemy, looked at the Tuyuhun Cavalry with bloodshot eyes and shouted.
