Chapter 273: Punch
"When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!" Although Luo Yi's performance was as expected by Tatar, his face quickly returned to normal, his deep eyes became brighter and brighter, and there was no fear from beginning to end.
Just when the two sides were two hundred meters apart, the Tatar violently pressed the horse's head, raised the steel knife in his hand above his head, and shouted: "Shield array!" Following the Tatar's order, the 5,000 Turkic troops on the move quickly stopped and gathered into a huge circle. The outer sword and shield men stacked their shields on top of each other to form a one-and-a-half-height shield wall, each shield was held by three stout soldiers, and from the gap between the shields, extremely sharp spears poked out.
Ironclad and sharp, this circle looks like a frightened hedgehog from a distance, protecting itself tightly, making it impossible to speak.
"Projectile!" Looking at the formation of the Tatars, Luo Yi pulled a faint smile at the corner of his mouth and said loudly.
With Luo Yi's order, the five thousand cavalry behind him immediately let go of their hands, stretched their bows and arrows, and raised them at an angle of forty-five degrees, their movements were neat and neat, without a trace of mud and water.
Tatar watched this scene from afar, his heart was both shocked and admired, in the Tatar and even the vast majority of people in this era of cognition, can rely on two legs to control the horse, its riding skills must be extraordinary, except for the nomads like them who grew up on horseback since childhood, very few people in the Han people can do this.
In particular, before the advent of the double stirrup and the Takahashi saddle, the cavalry relied entirely on the kung fu of the legs to stabilize the body, which led to the arduous and hard-won training of the cavalry.
During the Three Kingdoms, Gongsun Zhan's white horse and Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry were not many in number, but they were all first-class elite soldiers, but now, the five thousand cavalry behind Luo Yi could easily manipulate the horses without using their hands, how could this make the Tatars not shocked.
Especially the cold murderous aura that came from afar from the five thousand arrows made his heart sink to the bottom of the sea.
"Put!" When it was close to fifty meters, Luo Yi's cold voice suddenly resounded in the sky.
"Boom!" A sharp sound of breaking through the air sounded, and five thousand feathered arrows suddenly carried an incomparable murderous aura like a raging storm, covering the circle formed by the Tartars.
"Jingle bell!" In the dense sound of gold and iron, countless sparks splashed everywhere.
Countless arrows slid feebly down the solid shield, but many arrows shot into the bodies of the Turkic army through the gaps, and cries and shouts came one after another.
Luo Yi deliberately chose to shoot, which not only increased the range, but also used the effect of gravity to make the arrows have a faster rate of fire, and also avoided too many arrows being blocked by the shield wall.
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!" Although there were soldiers around him who kept screaming and falling, Tatar's eyes were staring at Luo Yi and the others without blinking, and he secretly shouted in his heart.
Although the Tatars did not command heavy infantry and did not have much advantage over the upper light cavalry, they used dense circles to rely on shields and spearmen as offensive weapons. As long as Luo Yi can't tear through the Tartar circle in one fell swoop, the spears will surely turn into a scythe of death.
"Points!"
However, in the fiery eyes of the Tatars, when there were still twenty meters away from the Turkic army's round formation, Luo Yi suddenly shouted, glanced at Luo Cheng beside him, and galloped to the right with a flick of the horse's head, while Luo Cheng went to the left at the same rapid speed, and with the separation of Luo Yi and Luo Cheng, the five thousand cavalry behind them also had a tacit understanding, half to the left, half to the right and galloped away.
The word "kill" in Tatar was about to blurt out, but when he saw Luo Yi and the others suddenly flick their tails and leave when they were almost attached to the circle array, he was so shocked that he swallowed it back, smelling the choking smoke and dust in the air, Tatar suddenly chuckled in his heart, and secretly screamed "not good".
"Shoot the arrow!" At this moment, Luo Yi's cold voice sounded again, and then the hum of the bowstring was heard. Countless arrows broke through the air and fiercely drilled into the camp of the Turkic army, once again setting off a bloody storm.
"Luo Yi, you coward, don't you dare to fight me in a dignified battle?" the Tatar was stunned, his steel teeth almost crushed, and he roared like thunder.
"Tatar, as long as you are willing to withdraw the formation, we will have a head-to-head confrontation between gentlemen, are you willing?" Luo Yi said loudly on the right flank of the Tatar, with a rich smile on his face.
"Uh......" Tatar was speechless for a moment, his face flushed red, like a pig's liver, the infantry launched a charge against the cavalry, unless the Tatars were hot-headed and devastated, especially in the face of such sharp archers under Luo Yi, a frontal charge was tantamount to death in vain.
Therefore, from the beginning, the Tatars were not prepared to defend Luo Yi head-on, but tried to obstruct and delay Luo Yi's advance as much as possible to buy time for Jieli's attack.
It's just that Luo Yi's cunning was beyond Tatar's expectations, and the elite of his cavalry shocked Tatars, even shocked, even shocked, such a fast, flexible and capable cavalry, coupled with a shrewd and deceitful commander, I am afraid that the people who give him five times more will not take much advantage.
"Tatar, Luo is going to see your family Khan, I won't be far away!" Just when Tatar was sluggish, Luo Yi's voice came again, listening to this gentle, polite tone, Tatar felt a hot pain on his face, and the emotion of shame and anger made him almost embarrassed.
Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the Turkic army, the cavalry behind Luo Yi suddenly laughed wildly, and the piercing laughter made the Turkic army almost crazy, eager to disperse the formation, and rushed forward to fight with Luo Yi happily.
"Soldiers, Luo Yi is too arrogant and deceitful, even if I die today, I will never let him step into the camp of the Sui army for half a step!
"Fight with them, kill!" the Turkic army suddenly roared in unison, and quickly dispersed into a circle.
Under the command of the Tatars, the 4,000 Turkic army immediately turned into two long dragons, firmly and quickly pressing towards Luo Yi and Luo Cheng.
"Want to counter-encirclement, how can it be so easy!" Seeing the changes in the Turkic army, Luo Yi couldn't help but chuckle, and with a wave of his hand, the two thousand five hundred cavalry behind him immediately turned their horses and galloped towards the right, and on the other side, Luo Cheng took the same method, making the Tatar calculation fail.
"Cheng'er, since Tatar is going to fight, then you can accompany him to have a good time, I have to go to the camp to see Jieli, it's not a good thing to keep him waiting for a long time!" Luo Yi glanced at Luo Cheng who was two miles away, and said loudly.
"The father is handsome, and the son will never be dishonored!"
"Okay!" Luo Yi laughed, the words suddenly changed, and said loudly: "Array, charge!" The voice fell, and Luo Yi galloped up again, in the direction of the Sui army camp in the east.
Behind Luo Yi, the cavalry that was originally arranged in a long snake formation quickly gathered to form a triangular sharp arrow formation, although there were only two thousand five hundred people, the evil qi condensed on their bodies was extremely amazing.
"Brothers, our country is being trampled on by the enemy, can we tolerate it?" Luo Yi leaned slightly, and the blood-red cloak behind him was hunting, but his voice was clearly heard in everyone's ears.
"Can't!"
"Can we tolerate our compatriots, parents, wives and children, brothers and sisters who are being ravaged by the enemy?"
"Can't!!" With the roar that shook the sky, a flush of excitement appeared on the faces of all the cavalrymen, and even the fierce eyes gradually appeared with a faint layer of blood, which was the color of bloodthirst, especially the evil qi on their bodies became more and more intense.
"Okay! Since it is intolerable, then use the knife in your hand to tell the enemy that this is not the place where they should come, not their garden, but their grave!" With a "choking" sound, Luo Yi suddenly pulled out the steel knife on his waist, looked up to the sky and roared: "Brave warriors, let us shed every drop of blood into the land of our Great Sui, kill!"
"Shed every drop of blood into the land of the Great Sui. Swear to kill the enemy and never retreat!"
"Killing !!" Luo Yibu's momentum suddenly climbed to the top, although they only had five thousand people, but the momentum they burst out was no less than tens of thousands.
Looking at the fierce cavalry warriors one by one, and feeling the mountains and seas of evil qi on their bodies, Tatar's face finally showed surprise.
"When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Kill!" At this moment, all the words seemed superfluous, only hysterical like a beast, a wild roar, and a cry of pain were the main theme of the battlefield, and killing all the enemies in front of him was the most fundamental goal.
……
"Yang Yu, do you still want to continue to resist stubbornly?" In the camp of the Sui army, Jieli quickly killed the city under the escort of Hanyan Tuoba, Han Tiemo, Alan Zhebei and others, while looking at Lin Nan, who was covered in blood from a distance, and said loudly.
"Jieli, you don't have to bother with your tongue!" Lin Nan sneered: "Do you hear? My reinforcements have arrived, and it is unknown who will kill the deer today! If you retreat now, you may be able to save your life, otherwise I am afraid that you will become a turtle in my urn!" Hahahaha!"
Jieli's eyes froze suddenly, and the expression on his face couldn't help but stiffen.
How could he not hear Luo Yi's earth-shattering cry outside the city, but success was one step away, how could he be willing to let him retreat.
"Order, Yang Yu must be captured and killed at all costs today, kill!" As he spoke, Jie Li raised his hand and wiped his face, the blood stains on his hands were suddenly pasted on his face, and his beard made him look a lot more fierce, murderous, and terrifying.
"Yang Yu, suffer death!" Alan Zhebei and the others suddenly lifted their spirits, their eyes suddenly bloomed with raging blood, and the blades in their hands swung more and more quickly and violently.
"Hold on, reinforcements will arrive, hold on!" Although the news of the arrival of reinforcements was already known to the Sui army in the city, under the frenzied attacks of the Turkic army such as Jieli, the Sui army was still inevitably suppressed, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers in front of Lin Nan, and some were frightened by the crazy offensive of the Turkic army, and they were about to flee after throwing away their armor.
Lin Nan couldn't help but be angry, while cheering for everyone, he reprimanded sharply, stabilizing the situation, whether it was him or Jieli, they were now racing against time, waiting for the last straw that broke the camel's back, the key reinforcements that determined the outcome of this war.
……
Shed every drop of blood into the land of the Great Sui, swear to kill the enemy, and never flinch!" Listening to Luo Yibu's thunderous roar, Tuoba Totoer's whole body shook like a lightning strike, and the whole person froze in place, his eyes were full of deep shock.
Tuoba Tuo Tuo Errong horses for decades, large and small wars have experienced countless battles, in terms of physique, perhaps they are still a little behind the brave and fierce Turks, and their martial arts may not be able to beat the most elite warriors of the Turks, but the breath that erupts from their bodies, the fanaticism and determination to win the battle are only seen in Tuoba Tuo's life.
Shedding every drop of blood into the land of the Great Sui, what a simple sentence, but the determination revealed in it will be shocked and moved by anyone who listens to it.
What kind of charm and ability does Luo Yi have to train such a fierce and loyal iron warrior? Although the two sides are hostile, this does not prevent Tuoba Totar from admiring and admiring Luo Yi, which even stirs up waves in the depths of his already somewhat old and plain heart, making his twilight body suddenly burst out with vigorous vitality and boundless fighting spirit.
"If possible, you must kill Luo Yi, otherwise it will definitely become a great disaster for my Turks!" Tuoba Tuo Tuo calmed down his agitated thoughts, and then slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air in his chest, and said secretly.
"General. The Sui army is coming!" the scout shouted with a panicked expression.
Tuoba Totoer's heart tightened, and he immediately looked at it, and sure enough, Luo Yi, who was dressed in silver armor, took the lead and had already come to his side more than 100 meters away.
Far away, Tuoba Totar could feel the strong smell of evil and blood on their bodies.
"Order, stop them at all costs! If anyone retreats, he will not be spared!" said Tuoba Totar, who suddenly drew the saber at his waist and raised his arms and shouted in a deep voice.
"Never retreat!" A total of 170,000 people besieging the Sui army camp were divided into four parts, and there were almost more than 40,000 on each side. On the west side, which is the breakthrough point, there are even more, about 50,000 people.
However, Lin Nan led the army to battle, taking the lead, which stimulated the fighting spirit and morale of the Sui army, and greatly increased their combat effectiveness, which caused great casualties to the Turkic army, and then Qin Yi's resolute move to die once again awakened the sluggish morale of the Sui army, so that they fought to the death, yes, in the killing of nearly an hour, the Sui army lost nearly 30,000 horses, and the Turkic army also had more than 20,000 soldiers who could never return to their homeland.
Although the number of people is still several times that of Luo Yi, Tuoba Tuo Tuo Tuo Er does not dare to take it lightly, and the tension that has not appeared for a long time hits his heart again, making his palms slightly sweaty.
Luo Yi was already extremely close, it was too late to mobilize troops and horses from him, and Tuoba Totar did not dare to draw troops and horses from other directions, he knew very well that once the attacks on the other three sides slowed down and Lin Nan had a chance to breathe, the Sui army was likely to turn defeat into victory and drive Jieli out of the camp.
With Tuoba Totoer's urgent and serious order, the eight thousand soldiers quickly moved and lined up in a dense phalanx, the front was still the sword and shield bearers and spearmen, and the rear was the archers, although Luo Yi's side was menacing and terrifying, but these eight thousand Turkic troops were by no means a rabble, they were not deterred by the momentum of Luo Yi's side, one by one serious and dignified, with a trace of murder in their eyes, quietly waiting for the arrival of war.
Looking at Tuoba Tuo Tuer leading eight thousand soldiers to wait for him, Luo Yi did not hesitate or fear at all, his eyes became deeper and calmer, and the compassionate smile on the corner of his mouth looked so evil against the background of the silver and cold armor, faintly revealing a chill to the bone.
"Bow!" With Luo Yi's order, the two thousand five hundred cavalry immediately drew their bows and arrows, and their eagle-like sharp eyes stared straight at the enemy troops in the distance, their eyes cold mixed with the burning heat of longing for victory and blood.
"Target crossbowman, free fire!"
"Release!" When Luo Yi led the cavalry to the Turkic army's place of arrows, the steel knife held high in his hand swung forward suddenly, and then saw countless arrows like locusts in transit, with whining screams, like wind and lightning, covering the two thousand archers behind Tuoba Totoer.
"Woohoo!"
"Puff puff!" Both the Turkic army and Tuoba Totar obviously did not expect that the bow and arrow used by Luo Yi were carefully modified by him, and both the range and the rate of fire far exceeded that of ordinary bows and arrows, so as soon as they saw it, the Turkic army suffered a big loss.
The sharp arrows were faster and had a longer range with the help of horses, and nearly a thousand Turkic troops fell in just one round of arrows.
In the face of the overwhelming rain of arrows and the approaching danger, many soldiers reflexively released their bowstrings, but the feathered arrows shot did not have the slightest accuracy to speak of, and they could not reach the effective killing range.
"Shoot the arrow!" The first reaction of all the cavalry after releasing the bowstring was not to see if the enemy had been hit, but to take out the arrow from the quiver on the saddle and miss, although Luo Yi's two orders were only two breaths apart, but all the cavalry still carried out his order perfectly.
"Whoosh!" When the Turkic army was still scrambling for the first round of arrow rain, wailing and crying, Luo Yi's second round of arrow rain was already close to the front, so that they had no chance to breathe.
Although the presence of sword and shield hands has had a great impact on the accuracy of the cavalry, their lethality is still very terrifying.
After two rounds of arrow rain, only 500 of the 2,000 archers of the Turkic army were unharmed, and although only 5 or 600 were actually killed, the others were traumatized to varying degrees, and their combat effectiveness plummeted.
The reason why Genghis Khan Temujin was able to cross the Eurasian continent in history was because of the archers, who were mobile, flexible and changeable, and had great lethality, so they were very important to Temujin. (To be continued.) )
