Chapter 423
"Quick! Eat up this Tang Jun as soon as possible."

Ashina Simo swung his horsewhip and shouted: "They are only the front of the Tang army, and the main force of the Tang army is not far away. We must end this battle quickly, and don't keep our parents and brothers waiting! We There isn't much time to waste."

"Dah da da da da!"

The spectacular scene of thousands of galloping horses shook the earth.

The flags are flying and the hooves are pounding.

Under the clear blue sky, Su Dingfang ordered [-] soldiers to split into three teams and line up, with a certain distance between them.

Like Ashina Simo, Su Dingfang, who was ready for battle, also ordered preparations for battle.But after seeing the approximate enemy, Su Dingfang revealed a trace of pity in his eyes.

On this vast grassland, facing the dusty scene, thousands of soldiers had no way to hide in broad daylight.Although Su Dingfang's experience on the grassland is not as good as Ashina Simo's, he can accurately and sensitively distinguish the approximate number of enemies by relying on the ability of cavalry to sweep up dust.
Only 1 people are too few!

Before this terrain, the Turkic soldiers were twice as many as himself, but just like Ashina Simo, Su Dingfang showed the same sneer, and he had the same chance of winning.

The soldiers on both sides got closer and closer, appearing in each other's field of vision bit by bit.

Su Dingfang gave the order to march without hesitation: But the strange thing is that the five thousand Tang troops did not increase their speed, but marched in a uniform, trotting state, as if they had completely abandoned the speed of the cavalry.

Su Dingfang's abnormality was naturally in Ashina Simo's eyes.

This also told Ashina Simo who was on the move, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and more of it was vigilance.

The power of the Tang Dynasty has been accepted by them, and the power of Qin Feng is also known to everyone on the grassland.

Even if he had the confidence to win, he didn't dare to be careless when facing Qin Feng or Qin Feng's generals.

"It doesn't matter! Anyway, this is an empty prairie, no matter how many plots they have, they won't be able to do it."

The slightly undulating mountain is not a mountain at all in Ashina Simo's eyes, and he also ignores the deadly strong north wind in his enthusiasm, he thought: "Even if they have any evil ideas, the main thing is that I don't get close. How can they stand against me? But...the opponent's lineup is a bit loose, could it be that they are guarded against my family's cavalry and archery? Arrange a weird formation, just want to deal with our cavalry and archery. It's too naive."

Ashina Simo never thought about attacking the Tang cavalry head-on, but intended to use kite-flying tactics, relying on the habits of the Turkic people and relying on their innate good marksmanship to annihilate the Tang army.

He doesn't believe that Tang Jun's cavalry and archery level can be compared with the nation on their horseback?
Ashina Simo had great confidence in their tribe's riding and shooting, so he blew the bone flute on his neck and used the sound of the flute to command the tribe to fight.

As the bone flute sounded one after another, the Turkic cavalry took off their bows and put arrow feathers in their mouths, preparing for the first wave of galloping shots.

The Tang Dynasty cavalry on the opposite side seems to have given up the speed of the cavalry and is advancing slowly, but the Turkic cavalry is advancing rapidly, making the distance between each other closer and closer.

Three hundred steps!
250 steps!
Two hundred steps!
190 steps!

170 steps!

……

almost!

Ashina Simo looked at Tang Bing, who was like a slow target, with a blazing light in his eyes...

Soon, soon!

Generally speaking, the effective shooting range of the Turks is 150 steps, but the Turkic cavalry mainly shoots from horseback, and they need to keep shooting arrows to ensure their lethality. The Turkic soldiers are closer, between [-] and [-] steps, but their battery life has increased significantly.

Ashina Simo stared wide-eyed, waiting for the moment when the distance between the two sides reached 130 steps, the most favorable range.

At this moment, he suddenly discovered that Tang Jun took out something from behind...

"Not good," he blurted out, heartbroken! "Get out, get out!"

Tang Jun, who was advancing slowly one by one, took out the already wound crossbow arrows from behind...

Throughout the ages, crossbow arrows have been the greatest natural enemy of their grassland nation.

Since the Qin Dynasty, strong crossbows have been superior to ordinary bows and arrows. With the development of science and technology, the strength of crossbows has become more and more obvious.Li Ling of the Han Dynasty relied on the rhubarb crossbow of the Han Dynasty to fight against [-] Xiongnu with [-] troops, and even killed tens of thousands.This developed to the Tang Dynasty, and the Fuyuan Nu in the Modao formation made them suffer even more.

Now Tang Jun is still using crossbows...

As soon as he saw the crossbow arrows, Ashina Simo instinctively showed the supernatural power of the Fuyuan crossbow...

That powerful weapon with a range of three hundred steps can pierce through several people with one arrow...

The sound of a bowstring that was more rapid than a horse's hoof resounded!

The crossbow arrows flew into the sky, and the arrow feathers all over the sky leaped towards them like locusts.

While accelerating and galloping, he ordered "disperse" in an emergency, even the Turkic people who are skilled in horse bow and horse can't do this.

In an instant, hundreds of Turkic cavalry screamed and fell down, the chaotic fluctuations expanded, and the middle of Wumo's dense cavalry and archery formation collapsed instantly!
While Ashina Simo was heartbroken, he unexpectedly discovered that the casualties were far less than he had imagined, and the power of the crossbow bolts was not as terrifying as he imagined. It suddenly dawned on him: what Tang Jun used was not the terrifying Fuyuan crossbow, but the poorly powerful crossbow. A crossbow with countless chips.

Thinking of this, Ashina Simo had already made up his mind, and shouted: "Tang Jun's crossbows are slow to reload, let's move on, speed up! Bite them and shoot."

He gave an order, and then found that the speed of the Tang army on the opposite side had also increased. They no longer moved leisurely, but retreated at a faster speed...

That's right, retreat!

There were three of them in formation, and the cavalry in the first formation shot.One after the other, they rushed to the left and right like a line in the first instant, and retreated in a roundabout way.

The crossbow arrows were fired one after another, taking away more than [-] of their combat strength.

Tang Jun never stopped. When they were retreating, they skillfully installed crossbow arrows on their horses, and then turned around to pull the trigger.

Ashina Simo was dumbfounded, and he was in a bad mood: Tang Jun used exactly the same tactics as them: they were planning to fly the kite, but now they let the other party fly the kite instead.The difference between them gave him an urge to vomit blood.

As an expert in riding and archery, he could see it.Tang Jun has worked hard in this area, but in terms of the speed of galloping and shooting, and the flexibility of changing directions, he is far inferior to them, but Tang Jun's shooting range is higher than them.That is fifty steps further than them.The advantages of these fifty steps cover up all the shortcomings.They didn't even touch Tang Jun now, but Tang Jun shot and wounded more than [-] of their soldiers with the power of their bows and crossbows.

The installation of the crossbow is a bit complicated, not as straightforward as the bow and arrow, but there are times when the complicated installation is completed...

The crossbow arrow attack came through the air again.

Su Dingfang commanded the cavalry of the Tang army skillfully, flying kites and walking dogs, as a talented military wizard.When Qin Feng proposed such a tactic, he grasped the essence of this tactic in the fastest and shortest time.Just like an experienced veteran, his command is methodical.Moreover, he also witnessed the power of this tactic with his own eyes, so he highly praised it.

Compared with Ashina Simo, relying on riding and shooting, he has a certain chance of winning!
Su Dingfang's chance of winning lies in knowing himself and the enemy.

Why did the Tang Dynasty play so smoothly?

It's not that Qin Feng has the ability to penetrate the sky and turn the clouds and rain, but it lies in research and pondering.

Li Shimin used his intrigues in the court to weaken the power of the Turks.Of course, Qin Feng at the border is not just training soldiers...

Including Li Jing and Li Ji, they have already set their sights on the grassland.

As for the Turkic information and materials, Qin Feng’s Dudu’s Mansion can fill the table with information about them, including the strength of the tribe, the character and conduct of the Khan leader, and the situation of the generals under his command, all during the year of military training. Constantly passed to Qin Feng's hands...

The level of riding and archery of the Turkic people is well known all over the world.How could Qin Feng have no defense at all?

Crossbow cavalry appeared in the Qin Dynasty, but because the crossbow arrows were wound too slowly and not flexible enough, they were not suitable for real battlefields.However, facing the Wu tribe, which is dominated by cavalry and archery, and intends to use cavalry, archery and kite-flying tactics, the advantage of long range of crossbow cavalry has the upper hand.What's more, the Tang army also took advantage of the right time and location, and the arrows they shot were even more powerful.

The current situation is dealing with a sentence.

Victory is for those who are prepared.

In order to defeat the Turks and achieve the final victory.

Whether it is Li Shimin in the court or Qin Feng in the front line, they have put in a lot of hard work, and now is the time for them to reclaim the results of the battle.

"shoot!"

Su Dingfang was also holding a horned crossbow in his hand at this time, he pulled the bow hard to string, installed the crossbow arrows, and was doing his part.

Although he is good at using bows and arrows, he has to admit that he is good at shooting distance.Compared with bows and arrows, crossbows have inherent advantages.

There are four kinds of bows and crossbows popular in the army of Tang Dynasty: Fuyuan crossbow is the familiar one. In addition to Fuyuan crossbow, there are also breaking Zhang crossbow, horn bow and single bow crossbow.

The times are advancing, and so is technology.The improvement of the strong crossbow in the Han Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty, the strong crossbow in the Tang Dynasty also inherited the technology of the predecessors, improved it, and became a sharp weapon for killing the enemy on the battlefield.The Fuyuan crossbow and the breaking Zhang crossbow are powerful crossbows used by crossbowmen. The Fuyuan crossbow is the most powerful. It needs both feet and hands to pull the string before it can be wound.The breaking crossbow does not need pedals, but it also needs both hands to pull violently to wind and shoot.

Although these two crossbows are powerful, they cannot be used in horse battles.

The horned crossbow is an improvement of the crossbow used by the cavalry in the Qin and Han Dynasties. It has a long range and great power, and is most suitable for horse battles. In a cavalry team in the Tang Dynasty, [-]% of the cavalry would often be equipped with strong crossbows and rush to the forefront. , Gain a combat advantage with a strong crossbow.

But if Qin Feng is like this.It was the first time to gather all the strong crossbows to form a crossbow cavalry.Qin Feng was specially trained based on the grassland people's kite tactics, relying on their kite tactics, anti-kite tactics.Because of this, Ashina Simo, who was killed, was caught off guard.There is no way to deal with it.
