Zhuangda Tang Juvenile Lang

Chapter 406
"Children of the Wolf God, this battle is our glory. In life, it is comparable to our ancestors. In death, it is also a hero admired by Turkic generations. Let us fight this battle heartily. Brothers, Tang Jun was afraid of our sharp archery skills, so he withdrew three miles away, and these three miles were enough for our cavalry to charge, and at the same time, it also gave us a chance to gather outside the city. There is no opportunity to lose, and there is no chance of failure. Success or failure is at this moment."

With a crisp sound of "Zheng", Jie Li laughed and pulled out the golden knife symbolizing authority. With a sound, he was waiting for this opportunity. There were plains outside the city, and there was no danger to defend. The Tang army launched a strong attack and broke through the Tang army's formation.

However, in order to prevent Jieli from escaping, to capture him alive or behead him, the Tang army would not retreat, and could only engage in field battles with his elite cavalry on the plain.On the plains, use cavalry to fight against infantry on horses. If he is still defeated, then Ta Jieli will not have to think about killing Xue Yantuo's barbarian, dominate the prairie, and then compete with the Tang Dynasty. Honestly In fact, you should shrink your head like a tortoise, escape to the depths of the desert, or go to Chang'an for the elderly.

Since the division and civil war of the Turkic army, the combat effectiveness of the army has declined year by year, and it is no longer the fierce army that it was when it launched an attack on Liao.It can be said that in Jieli's view, this is the last chance to go south to unify, revive, fight and destroy Tang.

When the two gates opened slowly, he immediately said to Ashina who was beside him: "Xiantu, you lead three thousand cavalry out of the city first, and you are responsible for guarding against the sudden attack of the Tang army. Can you go out of the city to meet the enemy on a large scale? It’s up to you to seize a gathering place outside the moat, and at the same time, you have to be careful of Tang Jun’s plot, so as not to let them kill us by surprise, go!”

"Hey! Don't worry, King Khan, I have long wanted to get rid of the shame!" Ashina said happily.He was a burly man with a scar on his face and a ferocious face.

He called himself the Great King of Gaitian, he made many military exploits in the civil war, and was heavily relied on by Xieli. However, when he was in the prairie on the Shuofang border, he was defeated without a single blow, and he lost [-] of Xieli's When the army fled back to Dingxiang, Jie Li almost had his head chopped off. Now Jie Li has reappointed him and asked him to perform crimes and meritorious deeds. Mr. Ashina suddenly vowed to wash away the shame of the disastrous defeat in this war.

"Boys! Let's go! Let the Tang army taste the power of our Turkic cavalry!" Ashina roared first, and the Turkic elite in the first column began to move forward slowly, stepped on the suspension bridge, and left Dingxiang City .Take precautions two miles away from the Tang army to provide cover for the subsequent troops.

After seizing the "landing" point, the Turkic army slowly left the city like ants coming out of their holes, took their positions in the open space, and confronted the Tang army.

"Attention the whole army! The Turks are about to kill them! The Turks are about to attack from the front! The whole army is ready to meet the enemy," Yuchi Baoqing ordered.

The Modao Battalion led by him and Fang Yiai immediately set up a battle formation. At the front was a spear-shield formation made up of shield soldiers and pikemen, mainly used to withstand the impact of enemy cavalry, and behind them was Mo Dao. Swordsmen, followed by crossbowmen. The crossbowmen mainly shoot and kill the enemy in large numbers when the enemy cavalry sprints, but after the real hand-to-hand combat, they are useless. Of course, they have the same equipment besides bows and arrows. Mo Dao.After the Modao camp are Achilles' jumping army and Xue Rengui's breaking front army. The two wings of the army are your real cavalry troops. The left wing is led by Luo Tong with [-] spears and bows. It is the cavalry with [-] spears and bows led by Zhang Shigui.

Their main task is to prevent the Turkic cavalry from bypassing the phalanx and attacking the Tang army from the flank.At the same time, if the frontal battle enters a stalemate, they will also charge up and outflank the enemy from both wings.

Tang Jun waited for more than half an hour in a tense defensive state, and finally heard a rumbling sound of people shouting and neighing. At the same time, all Tang Jun soldiers felt the ground trembling slightly and could not see clearly ahead The soldiers immediately judged that this was the vibration of horseshoes brought about by a large number of riders...

"Kill! Kill all the barbarians of the Tang army!" Ashina suddenly saw that there was no room for more people, so he gave the order to attack decisively.

Ashina rushed forward while giving orders while slowly accelerating. The three thousand Turkic cavalrymen grabbed the reins, leaned on their horses, swung their whips and slapped the horse's buttocks, and entered the sprint stage.

"It's finally here!" Yuchi Baoqing breathed a sigh of relief when the Turkic army came rushing to kill him. He had lined up like this and waited nervously with all his attention. test.

Seeing that Tang Jun was still motionless, Ashina shouted loudly: "Kill! Kill these Han dogs! Victory belongs to our invincible Turkic warriors!"

The [-] Turkic cavalry behind him were all wearing light armor, braided hands, and shaved bald heads, looking extremely tough.Riding on tall horses, they raised their weapons and responded loudly, screaming wildly.

After the morale was boosted, Ashina pointed his saber forward and shouted: "Charge!"

After all, he took the lead in waving his saber and rushed forward.

Three thousand cavalry followed behind him, and rushed towards the phalanx of the Tang army waiting in front with great momentum.

Ashina was full of confidence in his advance, and a distance of one or two miles was not considered a distance at all to the cavalry who was charging at full strength.

Ana Shi rushed forward suddenly holding the saber and screaming, the momentum of three thousand horses galloping forward together was still very magnificent.At this time, the Turkic people have already taken out the scimitars from the hooks...

It's near, it's near!
Now that the Tang army phalanx in front is getting closer, Ashina can vaguely see the Tang army on the opposite side looking at the Turkic warriors rushing towards them.

"Haha! These Chinese dogs are really scared and stupid! We didn't shoot arrows all the way." Ashina was ecstatic in his heart, and secretly thought that as long as his elite cavalry rushed into the Tang army's formation, they would definitely be able to kill them. They kill every single one.

Fifty steps!
At this time, the Turkic cavalry had entered a high-speed sprint state, and at this speed they could rush to the front of the Tang army's phalanx in the blink of an eye.

However, Ashina finally noticed something unusual: in the Tang army's phalanx, a young general on a horse suddenly appeared, and he was looking at him with a smile that was not a smile.

"No! The performance of these Tang troops is too weird. This Li Jing is the number two figure in the Tang army after Li Shimin. He is both wise and brave. How could he be so indifferent in the field battle? Besides, Qin Feng is also an extremely cunning fox. , and the young general's expression just now..."

Ashina suddenly became alert, feeling as if there was some trap waiting for him.

"Everyone, stop for a while! Don't rush! Something's wrong!" Ashina hurriedly reined in his horse, trying to slow down.

He reacted in time, but his subordinates were not so lucky.They are still rushing towards the phalanx of the Tang Army infantry at the same speed as arrows...

Just hearing a loud bang, the flat ground in front of the Tang army's phalanx collapsed suddenly, turning into a long and deep trench, more than two feet wide.The Turkic cavalry rushing to the front sank immediately, and they turned on their backs, screaming again and again.

Yuchi Baoqing laughed loudly. Just when the water dragon shot at the head of Dingxiang city and left unguarded, the main force of the Tang army, under the cover of the white mist at the top of the city, dug a hole outside the four city gates on the bank of the soft moat. A moat about 20 feet long and two feet wide was built, and then covered with branches and weeds on the moat.

Now the Turks have finally fallen into the trap.

How could Tang Jun, who was already in full battle, let go of such a good opportunity.With an order, the spear and shield soldiers standing in the front row immediately squatted down, revealing more than a dozen rows of archers behind them. As early as when the Turkic cavalry began to charge, they used the same movement as a whole to hit the sharp arrows in their hands. The longbow that has been stretched is ready to shoot.After the spear and shield soldiers squatted down, they immediately aimed their bows and arrows at the Turkic cavalry who were close at hand but were in a mess.

"Shoot!" Yuchi Baoqing drew out his waist knife, swung it down violently, and shouted loudly.

"Om-"

Thousands of longbow strings trembled at the same time, making a terrible buzzing sound.Following the sound, countless sharp iron arrows shot up from the phalanx of the Tang army's infantry.They overtook the squatting Song army spear and shield soldiers, crossed the trench, and flew straight into the sky.

A moment later, the black arrows fell straight down from the sky like raindrops, making a fatal "swish-swish" sound, and accurately poured down on the heads of the densely packed Turkic cavalry in the trench.In the blink of an eye, the Turkic cavalry, who were still trying their best to rein in their horses, fell down like cutting wheat.

"Prepare for the second round of salvo!"

There is no pity in Yuchi Baoqing's deep eyes. He knows that war is a life-and-death struggle, and that being kind to the enemy means being ruthless to one's own people. Only by killing to stop killing can they know that the Han people cannot be bullied!Datang cannot be humiliated!

"Fire the arrow!" His cold voice sounded again.

"Fire arrows!"

There was only a sound of "嗡——", and the frightening buzz sounded again.Thousands of fine iron long arrows rushed out from behind the Tang army's spear and shield soldiers with a black cold light...

On the battlefield next to the trench, the screams of soldiers after being shot by arrows were heard from the Turkic cavalry group.One by one, the elite Turkic soldiers fell unwillingly under the raging black iron sharp arrows.

These [-] cavalry were the elite cavalry in the Turkic army. They were all composed of the direct descendants of Jieli Khan, and they had high loyalty and morale.Jieli Khan arranged for them to charge at the front, but also wanted to make a good start, reverse the psychological disadvantage of the Turkic army's inevitable defeat in the Qin Dynasty, and build up confidence in victory.

In his opinion, it is impossible for the three thousand elite cavalry to face the "infantry" of the Tang army riding horses on the plain.

But now, these elite cavalry have lost all before they rushed to the front of the Tang army.
