704 Battle in Capital Cheng II (1/2)

The archway at the corner of the street suddenly collapsed.

Then, the buildings next to it successively collapsed, stirring dust and smoke. Countless bricks and woods piled up like a small mountain, blocking Long Street.

The grassland cavalry head's anxious and panicked expression turned ferocious. Staring at the approaching army, he held his cutlass in his hand and stopped retreating.

The countless grassland cavalry stopped retreating.

All of a sudden, more heel ropes were set up on the chaotic street, entangling the horseshoes of Tang's armored cavalry.

The horses heavily fell down on the hard ground, making a dull sound. Many soldiers were hurt.

More soldiers of Yan showed up on the buildings on both sides of the street and began shooting at the Tang army. The arrows raged like a rainstorm and caused massive destruction.

From time to time, buildings collapsed and blocked the street, which was difficult for the Tang Army to overcome. Some of them were buried under the buildings and were unable to stand up.

This was indeed an ambush.

However, it was not for the grassland cavalry.

It was for the Tang Army.

The black armored cavalry of Tang was invincible.

Could it still be invincible today?

Looking at his falling subordinates, the Tang general turned to the Yan Army and the grassland cavalry and said, ”Kill them all. Kill them all and we can get out of here.”

The ambushes happened everywhere in the city.

The Tang Army had suffered a heavy blow, but they still kept charging. With the anger of betrayal and the sadness for their comrades' deaths, they waved podaos and spears, rushing toward their enemies.

The Northeast Border Army faced the hardest situation and the most numerous enemies on Long Street. The waves of enemies and the skillful grassland cavalry seemed unable to be eliminated, ever.

Even so, there was no enemy that could not be eliminated.

Every cavalryman of Tang had a belief: as the general said, as long as they could kill all the enemies, they could get out.

All kinds of noises sounded in Long Street. The waves of enemies were shocked by the Tang Army and left an opening in a wide crossroads.

The general passed the broken padao to his left hand and shouted in a deep voice, ”Continue to charge!”

As long as they could rush out of Long Street, the Yan Army could no longer organize an effective interception. Then, according to the Great General's plan, he could lead his soldiers to the Eastern City gate and return.

Though he didn't look back, he knew he had lost half of his army.

This was the biggest loss of the Tang armored cavalry for decades, but he wasn't sad. He knew that every soldier would have killed many more enemies before dying.

It was enough.

They could stand up and proudly go back.

The general tied down his halter and ran forward, hewed a grassland soldier's head in the blood rain.

Suddenly, he felt numb on his injured right hand.

His tired horse stopped.

The hundreds of cavalrymen fell silent as well.

The grassland cavalry had already been scattered and the formation was in a mess.

However, the previous gap, where they could leave through, was refilled once again.

The cavalrymen wore black armor as well. Compared to the Tang cavalrymen, they were covered with golden talisman lines, shining with light in the night.

There were only two groups of cavalry qualified to compete with the Tang's in the world.
