Chapter 534 God Arm Crossbow

Without drumming, when Chen Guang led the three thousand Mingguang cavalry from the side gate of the camp to circle from the right side of the battlefield to the left wing of the traitor army in front, almost no one of the Tubo cavalry, who was fighting with the Dangxiang cavalry in front of him, noticed Chen Guang and others' movements.

Qi Riglang's hand holding the reins was storming with blue veins. He was the governor of the eighteen fiefs of Tubo. His status was second only to the Zhonglun of Jiesangdong Zebu in the army. However, since Zanpu ascended the throne, these fiefs lords were also taxed by the royal family, and their status could no longer be compared with the founding of Tubo.

However, even so, Qirigrang was still a great noble in the Tubo country. So even though Dazalugong had already persuaded some generals before, as long as Qirigrang and the other great nobles did not nod, no one would listen to the words of the young master of the Enlan clan.

When the scouts of Qirigrang's own formation found a large number of cavalry suddenly emerged from the left wing, the Tubo scouts were not too alert, but they still reported to their masters.

"There are Tang cavalry coming."

Qi Rigalang had the most soldiers and horses, with a total of 70,000, of which 50,000 were the main soldiers in the army this time. Although he had sent 30,000 to fight with the Dangxiang cavalry, the central army still retained 20,000 elite troops, including 3,000 armored cavalry.

Therefore, he did not take the Tang cavalry, whose names were unknown as the scouts, in his heart. What could be used to look like just two or three thousand cavalry? What he was angry about was that the Dangxiang people who betrayed Dafan made him lose all his face.

However, just when he was about to let his armored horses go on a warrior and defeat the Gangxiang Nu, the generals beside him suddenly showed a look of horror. Someone pointed to the front and said, "Marson, that's the big flag of the head coach of the Tang army!"

Shen Guang, who was approaching the Tubo Central Army's main formation, made Li Siye beside him raise a banner. The military flag given by Li Longji fluttered in the wind, and the word "Divine Power" with a black background rolled and roared in the hot wild wind.

The Mingguang Iron Cavalry stood up from the horse's back, and the dazzling breastplate on their chests formed a sea of ​​light. Red military flags stood up, and then the Xiongjun war horse, which had already run away, began an astonishing charge under the guidance of the owner on his back.

The sound of horse hooves like thunder tide instantly drowned out the shouts of the other generals around Qi Rigelang, "Welcome the enemy!" "Welcome the enemy!" The Tubo marshal shouted in horror. Although he had contemptuously thought that the young Tang army commander was just a lucky boy, when the other party led the Mingguang Iron Cavalry with armored cavalry suddenly appeared in front of him, he thought of the Zhong Lun who was hung in front of the camp and exposed his body in the scorching sun in the wilderness.

The infantry and cavalry in front of the Tubo Central Army were panicked. Some people went forward to try to stop the Tang army cavalry that charged forward like a mountain and a sea, and some were directly frightened and tried to stop the horse. Everyone knew that after being defeated by the armored cavalry, they would just slaughter one-sidedly.

The more than a thousand elite soldiers behind Chen Guang immediately took out the divine arm bow. This was one of the good things that Chen Guang gave to Wang Zhongsi, the father-in-law when he was still in Chang'an. In the past six months, nearly ten thousand divine arm bows were built in Chang'an City, and Chen Guang took out three thousand.

Although the Divine Arm Bow is an infantry crossbow and needs to be stepped on the string with his feet, the Tang Dynasty has no shortage of good horses and knights with superb riding skills, especially the personal tooth soldiers beside Chen Guang. They are good families in the four towns of Anxi, powerful families in Hexi, and elite veterans in the army of the four towns. They control the reins with one hand on the saddle and use one leg to string the Divine Arm Bow, but they are not difficult.

More than a thousand divine arm crossbows shot at less than two hundred steps, directly defeating the resistance Tubo soldiers. Even wearing armor and holding shields, they could not stop the arrows of the divine arm crossbow from penetrated their bodies like paper armor.

When the infantry in the front collapsed without fighting, the Tubo cavalry in the rear who wanted to face the enemy first faced their own deserters. Zhonglun's death was repeatedly defeated and lost to the Tang army, which made the Tubo people, who had always been known for their tenacity, unable to continue to support them.

The soldiers who were conscripted could not see any hope of winning, and the Mingguang Iron Cavalry of the Tang Army seemed to be a monster. They were already wearing armor that was worn by the gods in the temple, but they could still shoot such terrifying arrows immediately. Even if they rode their own armor, they would probably not be able to stop such sharp arrows.

Qi Riglang's hand was trembling, looking at the infantry that broke the army's formation in front of him, and then the troops were like dragons and the momentum was like rainbows to drive straight in. He reasonably told him that he should turn around and run, but he forcibly suppressed the fear that made him feel ashamed, and just yelled and asked his armored cavalry to stop the Mingguang cavalry, which was only three hundred steps away from him, and the defeated soldiers in front of him were already defeated by the Tang army and then rolled back.

The armored cavalry of Tubo rushed to charge, and the first thing they wanted to kill was not the Tang army, but the soldiers who were driven by the Tang army behind them with fear to rush to the central army.

The Mingguang Iron Cavalry behind Chen Guang had changed from a loose goose-shaped formation to a cone-shaped formation. At this time, Tubo people's bows and arrows were shot from all directions, but they were scattered. The armor falling on them jingled, and occasionally arrows penetrated through the gaps between the armor leaves, but most of them failed to penetrate the tough silk underwear they were wearing close to each other.

Chen Guang has always been willing to spend money on his military equipment. Not only Mingguang Iron Cavalry, but even the infantry of the Shattered Ye Army also replaced silk underwear. Unless they were shot at close range by a strong bow, even the arrows wearing armor could not penetrate the tough silk. After taking off the armor, they only needed to pull and pull them to shake the arrow out of the embedded flesh and blood.

For the Tubo people, the Mingguang Iron Cavalry, who was not afraid of arrows, was like a god descending to earth. At this time, Shen Guang's personal soldiers also completed the stomping on the horse's back and stepped on the arrows, and then they shot waves at the Tubo armored cavalry who killed the defeated soldiers.

The sound of the shaking of the arch string of the divine arm crossbow was like thunder and thunder. When the string sounded into a rolling thunder sound, the Tubo armored cavalry on the opposite side seemed to be knocked away by an invisible hammer on the back of the horse, falling from the horse, and the horses caught in the arrows were wailing directly.

In an instant, more than 300 Tubo armored cavalry were released by the divine arm crossbow that was encountered, and then their charge formation was completely chaotic. Chen Guang was at this time, relying on Li Siye on the left and Nan Jiyun on the right, he unreasonably killed the chaotic Tubo armored cavalry in front of him. At this time, he was only fifty steps away from the Tubo general wearing an eight-petal golden helmet.

"Die!"
