Chapter 268 [Bow Ride]
"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 order, the 5,000 Turkic troops on the move quickly stopped and gathered in a huge circle. The outer sword and shield bearers 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 through the gaps in the shields, sharp spears protruded. 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, and his heart was both shocked and admired. In the perception of the Tatars and even the vast majority of people in this era, those who can control horses with their legs alone must have extraordinary riding skills, except for nomads like them who grew up on horseback since childhood, very few people in the Han nationality 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 riders were not many in number, but they were all first-class elite people. However, now, the five thousand cavalry behind Luo Yi can easily manipulate the horses without using their hands, how can 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 instantly resounded in the sky. "Woohoo!" A sharp sound of breaking 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, hurry, hurry!" Although there were soldiers around him who kept screaming and falling. But 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 they were still twenty meters away from the Turkic army's circle. Luo Yi suddenly shouted and glanced at Luo Cheng beside him. With a flick of the horse's head, he galloped to the right, and Luo Cheng drove to the left with the same swift 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, and half to the right. The word "kill" in Tatar was about to blurt out, but he saw Luo Yi and the others suddenly flick their tails when they were almost attached to the circle array. Gone in a flash. I was so shocked by such a sudden approach that I swallowed it back. Smelling the choking smoke and dust in the air, Tatar's heart suddenly chuckled, and he secretly exclaimed, "It's not good." "Shoot the arrows!" At this moment, Luo Yi's cold voice sounded again, and then he heard the humming of the bowstring. 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 cowardly mouse, don't you dare to fight with me in a dignified manner?" The Tatar's eyes were cracking, and a mouthful of steel teeth almost crushed, and he roared like thunder. "Tartar, as long as you are willing to withdraw from the formation, we will have a head-to-head confrontation between gentlemen, are you willing?" Luo Yi galloped on the right flank of the Tatar, with a rich smile on his face, and said loudly. "Uh......" Tatar suddenly stopped, and his face turned red, like a pig's liver. The infantry charged the cavalry, unless the Tatars were hot-headed and distracted, 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 and even shocked Tatar. Such a swift, agile and capable cavalry, combined with a shrewd and treacherous commander, I am afraid that five times more people will not take much advantage of him. "Tartar, Luo is going to see your family Khan, I will not send it far!" Just when Tatar was sluggish, Luo Yi's voice came again. Listening to this gentle, polite tone, the Tatar felt a burning pain in 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 arrogantly, 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 Sui army camp for half a step! Kill me! The Tatar could no longer bear it any longer, and said loudly through gritted teeth. Fight with them, kill! The Turkic army 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 a counter-encirclement? How can it be so easy! Looking at 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 fall short. 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! "Good!" Luo Yi laughed, his words suddenly changed, and he said loudly: "Array, charge!" The voice fell. Luo Yi galloped up again, and the direction was 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. "Brethren. Our country is being trampled on by the enemy, can we tolerate it? Luo Yi's body was slightly prostrate, and the blood-red cloak behind him was hunting, but his voice clearly reached everyone's ears. No! "Our compatriots, parents, wives and children, brothers and sisters are being ravaged by the enemy, can we tolerate it?" "Can't!!" With the earth-shattering roar, a blush of excitement appeared on the faces of all the cavalrymen, and even a faint layer of blood gradually appeared in their fierce eyes. This is the color of bloodthirsty, especially the evil aura on their bodies is getting stronger and stronger. "Good! Since it cannot be tolerated, use the sword 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 at his waist, looked up to the sky and roared: "Brave warriors." Let's shed every drop of blood into the land of our Great Sui and kill! "Shed every drop of blood into the land of the Great Sui. Swear to kill the enemy and never retreat! "Kill !!" Luo Yibu's momentum suddenly climbed to the top, although there were only five thousand of them, but the momentum that erupted 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, and only the hysteria like a beast, the wild roar, and the cry of pain were the main theme of the battlefield. Killing all the enemies in front of you is the most fundamental goal. ...... "Yang Yu, do you still want to continue to resist?" "In the camp of the Sui army, Jieli quickly killed the city under the escort of Hanyan Tuoba, Han Tiemo, Alan Zhebe and others, and looked at Lin Nan, who was covered in blood from a distance, and said loudly. Jieli, you have to spend a lot of time! Lin Nan sneered, "Did you hear that?" My reinforcements have arrived, and it is not yet known who will die today! If you retreat now, you may be able to save your life, or you will become a turtle in my urn! Haha 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, Jieli raised his hand and wiped his face, the blood on his hands suddenly pasted on his face, and his beard made him look a lot more fierce, murderous, and terrifying. "Yang Yu, suffer death!" Alan Jebe and the others suddenly lifted their spirits, their eyes suddenly bloomed with a raging blood light, and the blades in their hands swung more and more quickly and fiercely. "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 attack 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 if they abandoned their armor. Lin Nan couldn't help but be angry, cheering everyone up, and at the same time scolding sharply to stabilize the situation. Both he and Jieli are now in a race against time, waiting for the last straw that will break the camel's back, the key reinforcements that will determine 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 Totoll was shaken all over, like being struck by lightning, 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. Shed every drop of blood into the land of the Great Sui. What a simple sentence, but the determination revealed in it will shock anyone who listens to it, and will be shocked and moved by it. What kind of charisma and ability does Luo Yi have to train such a fierce and loyal Iron Warrior? Although the two sides were hostile, this did not prevent Tuoba from admiring and admiring Luo Yi, which caused 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 Totar calmed down his turbulent thoughts, and then slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air in his chest, and said secretly. "General. The Sui army is coming! Just then, the scout shouted in panic. 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. "Command, stop them at all costs! If anyone retreats, he will not be spared! Tuobatol suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist and raised his arms and shouted in a deep voice. Never back down! "The total number of people besieging the Sui army camp was 170,000, and after being divided into four parts, 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 into battle and took the lead, which stimulated the fighting spirit and morale of the Sui army. This greatly increased their combat effectiveness, which inflicted heavy casualties on the Turkic army. After that, Qin Yi's resolute move to die once again awakened the low morale of the Sui army, and made them fight to the death. Therefore, 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. But Tuoba Tuo did not dare to take it lightly, and the tension that had not appeared for a long time hit his heart again. His palms were slightly sweaty. Luo Yi was already extremely close, and it was too late to mobilize troops and horses from other places, and Tuoba Totar did not dare to draw soldiers and horses from other directions. He knew very well that once the attacks on the other three sides slowed down and gave Lin Nan a chance to breathe, the Sui army was likely to turn defeat into victory. Kick Jieli out of the camp. Following the swift and solemn order of Tuobatol, the eight thousand sergeants quickly moved into action, forming a dense phalanx, with shield and spearmen at the front and archers at the rear. Although Luo Yi's side is menacing. The momentum is terrifying, but these eight thousand Turkic troops are by no means a rabble, they are not deterred by the momentum of Luo Yi's side, they are 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 the 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!" "Put!" When Luo Yi led the cavalry to the place where the Turkic army was a stone's throw away, the steel knife held high in his hand swung forward suddenly, and then saw countless arrows like locusts crossing the border, with a whining scream, 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 arrows!" The first reaction of all the cavalry after loosening 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 and 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 at all. 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. The archers were mobile, agile and changeable, and had great lethality, so they were very important to Temujin. (To be continued.) )
