Chapter 424 Grassland War
This is a vast grassland, it is March, and the flowers are in full bloom on the grassland, colorful and swaying, but a powerful chill is slowly spreading on the grassland.

Ashina Sabu is a typical Turkic leader, brave and good at fighting, and has a high personal prestige. The Khazar Turkic army he controls is also a wolf army on the grassland, fierce and powerful, and at the same time brutal in nature.

They originally had 3 people, and at one point reached 5. However, they suffered heavy casualties in the civil war with the Gosar people. In the end, only 2 people remained. The two sides reached a ceasefire agreement, and Ashina Sabu led all the Turks to move eastward. .

But in the first battle last winter, their 7000 vanguard troops were also wiped out by the Tang army, so that only [-] people remained.

Neither Ashina Sabu nor his army had any experience in fighting the Tang army, but he was not afraid at all. Wars are won by strength, by courage and toughness. As long as it is a fair fight, his soldiers will definitely be able to win. Tang Jun.

Five miles away, Tang Jun appeared. According to the information he had, there were about 3000 people, all of whom were cavalry.

Ashina Sabu waved his battle sword, "Attack!"

All [-] cavalry were dispatched, rushing towards the opponent like a frenzy.
Thirteen thousand Tang troops lined up in four armies on the vast grassland.

Pei Xiu's [-] cavalry and Xu Jian's [-] Ningyuan Army were on the left, An Taixuan's [-] cavalry and Yu Changyang's [-] Ningyuan Army were on the right.

Wang Xuanwu led [-] cavalry as the central army, as well as [-] heavy armored infantry led by Hei Spear, and [-] spear-throwing troops. The spear-throwing army was also an auxiliary army for the heavy armored infantry, helping them put on armor.

But each of them has three short spears, hidden behind the heavy armored infantry, and they will throw their spears before the heavy armored infantry.

In addition, Tang Jun also sprinkled [-] bags of kerosene a hundred steps away from the front of the formation. The purpose of kerosene was not to burn the enemy to death, but to slow down the speed of the enemy's impact.

At this time, everyone felt the ground tremble. The Khazar Turkic cavalry came, and the horses became restless, snorting, and the soldiers were sweating from the palms of their spears.

A black line appeared at the end of the grassland three miles away, without stopping, covering the sky and covering the earth, sweeping towards the Tang army with an unstoppable force, Li Ye showed a cruel smile, this is what he wanted.

"Crossbow ready!" He issued the first order.

Three thousand crossbows shot up from the ground, they were Wang Xuanwu's central army, and their crossbows were coldly aimed at the Turkic army that was rushing towards them.

The [-] Turkic cavalry were getting closer and closer, and the monstrous murderous aura seemed to destroy everything in the world. With a wolf-headed banner, Ashina Sabu raised his knife and shouted: "Fearless Khazar warriors, kill the Tang army! , Suiye's woman, treasure, everything belongs to you, kill!"

"Kill!"

The Khazar Turkic cavalry rushed to the front of the Huoyou zone deployed by the Tang army in an instant. Wang Xuanwu waved his hand, "Shoot!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The drums sounded, and three thousand arrows were fired suddenly, forming a cloud of black arrows, roaring at the Turkic cavalry. In an instant, the Turkic cavalry was turned upside down, and nearly 300 people were shot down.

But among the arrow clouds are hundreds of rockets, 'Boom! 'A ribbon of flames blazed up, the flames rose into the air, and the smoke billowed.

The kerosene stretched for two miles, and the raging fire disturbed the horses. Thousands of horses in the front stopped galloping one after another, raised their front hooves high, and screamed violently.

The fire seriously hindered the cavalry's attack. The cavalry behind couldn't stop and rushed up. The horses collided and became a mess. Seven or eight hundred horses were knocked over by the raging tide and fell into the fire one after another.

The fire weakened, and the cavalry behind rushed through the wall of fire one after another. The horses and soldiers who fell on the ground could not dodge in time, and were trampled to a bloody mess.

But there were also quite a few Turkic soldiers with superb riding skills who jumped up and jumped on the horses of their companions, and the two continued to run together on the same horse.

Although the wall of fire was not very powerful, it slightly slowed down the speed of the cavalry's impact, and the effect was obvious. The Turkic cavalry lost their previous rage and deterrence.

The arrows of the Turkic cavalry also rained down on the heavy armored infantry like an iron wall.

The raindrops of arrows jingled and shot at the heavy armored infantry, but the heavy armored infantry stood tall, and no soldier fell down.

Amidst the surprised gazes, the Khazar Turkic cavalry finally came in front of them like a tide. At this moment, the spear-throwing soldiers who had been waiting for a long time took the lead.

They dashed out, and threw a thousand short spears at the enemy cavalry thirty paces away. The short spears were three feet three inches long, with sharp steel tufts, and shot at an angle of elevation.

A thousand short spears were as dense as rain, and they were so powerful that they could shoot through both men and horses. The [-] Khazar Turkic cavalry and horses who rushed to the front fell to the ground one after another, and the dead bodies piled up quickly.

Immediately afterwards, the spear throwers of the Tang army threw another thousand short spears, causing the Turkic cavalry to rush forward and were shot over. The sharp short spears shot directly through the body, nailing the cavalry to the ground.

Coupled with the coordinated launch of the crossbowmen, the Turkic cavalry could not rush within [-] steps, and suffered heavy casualties, and the Turkic cavalry began to be in chaos.

Li Ye could see it clearly, and he immediately ordered: "The Mo Dao army goes to battle!"

"Ugh-"

A muffled horn sounded.

One thousand of the most elite heavy-armored Modao army was launched. People wore heavy armor, waved Modao, and followed the master to kill the Turkic cavalry step by step. This is the heavy-armored infantry built by the Tang Dynasty with decades of painstaking effort. The best armor, the strongest soldiers, and the fiercest weapons.

After passing through the raging fire array and 2000 spears before, the Turkic cavalry suffered nearly [-] casualties, and countless corpses piled up in front of the array.

The powerful impact force of the Khazar Turkic cavalry was removed by [-]%. Although the horses were still galloping, they were no longer as violent and ferocious as before.

A thousand heavy armored infantry marched forward, like an invincible iron fist. Wherever they passed, the corpses of Turkic cavalry were strewn all over the field, blood flowed like rivers, men and horses were chopped into pieces, flesh and internal organs were mixed together, and the air was full of thorns The stench of the nose.

The Turkic cavalry were killed so frightened that some cavalry turned around and fled in fright.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Ye immediately ordered, "The whole army presses up, and those who retreat will be killed!"

With the sound of drums and the flying of battle flags, the long-prepared 1 Tang troops attacked the Khazar Turkic cavalry from three directions, and the two sides fought fiercely together.

At the same time, [-] Geluolu cavalry also came from behind, and the Khazar Turkic cavalry were gradually unable to support themselves.

Ashina Sabu was very anxious, he knew that both sides were cavalry, as long as his army was defeated, the whole army would be wiped out.

At this time, he found that the Ge Luolu cavalry who came from behind were equally powerful. Although they were not as powerful as the Tang army, they were evenly matched with his own army.

But the most powerful is the Tang army, especially the thousand Tang army long-sword infantry, they are simply demons crawling out of hell.

They are invincible, gods block and kill gods, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas!
Ashina Sabu was so anxious that he had only one way to turn defeat into victory, and that was to kill the enemy general.

He saw Tang Jun's commander-in-chief flag, the red-bottomed black dragon battle flag, at the rear of the flag army, it must be the enemy's chief general.

"Come with me!"

With a loud roar, he led his personal guards, about hundreds of cavalry, and rushed towards the Tang army's garrison flag team.

At the same time, Li Ye also ordered: "The eagle shooters attack!"

A hundred eagle shooters with feathers on their heads urged their horses to gallop out. They were sharpshooters selected by Li Ye from the army, including warriors from Tang Army, Ningyuan Army, and Tuqishi and Ge Luolu.

They were all excellent at archery, and they were good at riding and shooting. Li Ye organized them and shot and killed the enemy generals.

Shooting people first shoots horses, capturing thieves first captures the king, they will undoubtedly have the effect of four or two.

Hundreds of eagle shooters rushed around the perimeter, shooting and killing the enemy generals.

While commanding, Li Ye was looking for the enemy's chief general. At this moment, he saw the enemy's golden wolf-headed banner, which moved towards him quickly.

Li Ye suddenly realized that the other party also wanted to kill the general of the Tang army, and they must be coming for him. I don't know if the other party's general, Ashina Sabu, is among them?
