Tang Sheng's infantry gave the cavalry commander the confidence to enter the valley.

The loss of Xiao Tianhang's department was not small, and he thought that even if he fell into Xiao Tianhang's ambush, it would not hurt seriously.

How many horses can I hurt?

The cavalry commander rushed into the valley first.

Xiao Tianhang on the hillside looked at the Shunjun cavalry rushing past, and lamented in his heart: "If only I had one cavalry, a hundred will do!"

In fact, it was quite easy for him to get a cavalry, there were quite a few cavalry in the Shun army, and after defeating the Shun army, it would be very easy for him to get a hundred horses based on his merits.

It's just that the horse he wants is not the horse of the Shun Army, but the horse of the Empire.

This is more difficult.

Except for the cavalry corps and some imperial cavalry under the commanders of each army, the other cavalry in the dry army are ordinary cavalry.

It is basically impossible for Xiao Tianhang to have one hundred imperial cavalry for one battalion.

Even if he made great achievements in this battle.

Unless he is willing to fall to the cavalry regiment.

Although the imperial cavalry were all summoned from the cavalry battalion, it was not impossible for others to join the cavalry regiment.

After all, the cost of summoning cavalry is not small, and it would be a good thing if the source of cavalry can be replenished in other ways.

However, the cavalry supplemented in other ways cannot be weaker than the summoned cavalry.

Xiao Tianhang's strength must be sufficient. Although he is not from a cavalry background, he has rich battlefield experience, physical fitness, combat awareness, and skills are fully qualified.

It's just that whether he is willing to go to the cavalry is another matter.

A good Shenwuwei camp is well done, go to the cavalry to be a company commander or even a platoon leader?

Well, he probably won't go.

"Hey! Otherwise, I'll just get a hundred ordinary war horses. The commander-in-chief will definitely not give me the imperial war horses."

Xiao Tianhang secretly thought about the matter of the cavalry,

Tang Sheng arrived with the vanguard main force.

Xiao Tianhang quickly collected his mind, he will think about the matter of the cavalry later, and taking down the vanguard of the Shun army is the most important thing.

Watching the vanguards of the Shun Army step by step

"Okay, you guys go faster, and I can tie the pockets when you're all over."

Xiao Tianhang's task was still very heavy. He had to prevent the Shun army from fleeing out of the valley after the battle started, and also prevent them from climbing up the hillsides on both sides.

He now has more than 350 people under his command, and counting several scout teams, there are more than 400 people.

It is quite difficult to block such a long valley with four hundred people.

This depends on Xiao Tianhang's command ability and the speed of the scout team led by Wu Gang to investigate and send messages.

Xiao Tianhang himself is still very confident in guarding the valley.

"As long as the imperial guard battalion can overwhelm the Shun army, they won't be able to break through my blockade."

 …

Tang Sheng led the infantry to the middle of the valley. The valley is not too long, only less than three miles, which is why he dared to bring troops in.

Even in such a short valley, it is easy to rush out even if you are ambushed.

But now Tang Sheng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, he found a messenger, "Send someone to look ahead, why is it so quiet?"

"yes."

The fact that the cavalry hadn't sent back the news made him feel something was wrong.

After the messenger left, Tang Sheng did not order to stop the advance, but slowed down.

In fact, he still didn't think that the cavalry would be ambushed.

The dry army has no time to mobilize more soldiers and horses, at most there will only be the dry army who stopped them yesterday in the mountains.

So what is there to be afraid of?

Tang Sheng didn't wait until the messenger came back, he heard the sound of horseshoes.

"what happened?"

"Why are the cavalry back?"

Tang Sheng immediately sent someone to understand the situation.

The messenger turned and left, Tang Sheng listened attentively, "No!"

"Not cavalry! My cavalry doesn't have so many horses!"

Tang Sheng judged that the hooves he heard were made by at least 300 war horses.

At least!

Imperial warhorses are much faster than ordinary warhorses.

The sound of horseshoes became more frequent while running, which caused Tang Sheng to make a wrong judgment.

In fact, there are not so many people, but it is equally deadly!

Tang Sheng immediately ordered: "Pikemen step forward, form a formation on the spot, and intercept the cavalry charge!"

It is not suitable for cavalry to play on relatively narrow mountain roads.

The charging cavalry hit the gun formation and were basically strung into candied haws.

Under normal circumstances, cavalry are used as a supplement to the frontal battlefield, raiding the enemy's battle formation from the flanks, and rarely attacking the enemy's frontal battle.

Except heavy cavalry.

Only heavy cavalry with both men and horses in heavy armor will crush them head-on like a tank.

The Praetorian Battalion is similar to such cavalry.

They are heavy infantry if they don't ride imperial horses, but they are heavy cavalry if they ride horses.

boom boom boom...

The heavy sound of horseshoes seemed to be stepping on the hearts of the soldiers of the Shun army, and every sound made their internal organs tremble.

"General, I'm afraid the enemy is not an ordinary cavalry. Could it be that the main force of the army has already arrived?"

Liu Jiwu didn't have heavy cavalry under his command, but the Shun generals hadn't seen heavy cavalry either.

This movement does not seem to be from ordinary cavalry, it can only be armored heavy cavalry.

More than a thousand of them can't stop a heavy cavalry, even if there are only three hundred of them.

Tang Sheng also had a solemn expression. The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, and he also noticed something unusual.

But it was too late for him to make other arrangements, so turning around and retreating now would be courting death.

There is still a glimmer of hope for the enemy with a gun array, and escape is a narrow escape.

The lieutenant next to him tilted his head and looked at both sides of the mountain road. He could climb the mountain without retreating!

It’s just that it’s more troublesome to regroup in the future~lightnovelpub.net~ and…

Tang Sheng still didn't think that the main force of the army had rushed to their front.

He also found the hillsides on either side of the road to be good places to retreat.

But will the army leave such a big hole?

Will it be another trap left by the army?

Probably!

Therefore, Tang Sheng was still preparing to form an formation on the spot and resist the cavalry head-on.

As long as the enemy's cavalry slowed down, he could not only keep the vanguard, but also hopefully wipe out the enemy's heavy cavalry.

There is still a dream, what if it comes true?

Soon, the Guards Battalion rushed into the sight of the Vanguard soldiers on their armored imperial horses.

So fast!

Before they even had a single thought, the Imperial Guard Battalion was already within thirty meters away from them.

Thirty meters at the speed of an imperial war horse is a distance of three to five steps.

The Shunjun spearmen had no time to think, so they could only subconsciously make movements during training.

He gripped the gun tightly and pressed the end of the gun firmly to the ground.

Otherwise, the strength of their arms alone would not be able to stop the cavalry from attacking.

However, putting the handle of the gun on the ground does not necessarily block it.

Facing the impact of the imperial guard camp, they will definitely be unstoppable!

"drive!"

"Come on!"

The soldiers of the Guards Battalion were not quiet at all when they charged.

Not at all like an elite teacher who doesn't talk too much.

But when they rushed into the Shun army's formation, the Shun soldiers didn't think so.

How can it be?

Why can't the spear in my hand penetrate the enemy's armor.

The handle of the gun broke off at the touch of it.

I'm holding a fake weapon?

They didn't have time to think about the answer, and the soldiers of the Guards Battalion whizzing by had already passed them and rushed straight to the back row.

They can only go to another world to think about problems and come up with answers.
