Chapter 733: The Beginning and the Purpose
A few breaths of 30,000 archers will send out more than 30,000 arrows, especially in the face of a large number of Turkic soldiers and horses, and the losses will increase exponentially.
Ten thousand arrows are fired together, this is Hebida's hole card, and now it depends on who has stronger willpower on both sides.
While the two sides were fighting, the scouts in charge of reconnaissance were still sending back information.
Hebida received the news that the Turks were all here, and had no intention of splitting up to attack.
In this case, he immediately transferred some of the men guarding the other intersections back to support the main battlefield, and the number of archers increased by 20,000 after the adjustment of soldiers and horses.
With the fire, the target in the distance did not know if it could be hit, so the archers attacked at a fixed distance according to their usual training.
They don't care if they hit it or not.
The Turkic cavalry could hardly believe that in such a situation the archers of the opposing side inflicted such a heavy wound on them.
It's purely a matter of probability.
At this time, the Turkic cavalry did not have the time to study this matter, and they really did not withstand the volley of arrows.
There are too many traps in the horse and they can't pass quickly even if they slow down, and the arrows really don't have long eyes, especially when the dark sky depends on a high probability of hitting.
Hebida was still thinking about the next battle, the attack of the Turkic cavalry was still continuing, and the enemy was probably determined to break through Ningzhou.
"The Spitfire chariot is ready, and the cavalry must not be allowed to break through their lines."
Hebida knew very well that a big war was coming, and the trick that could delay and block could not make the other party stop, so he could only fight.
There is no trap after the pit, and this part of the distance is reserved for the vanguard to prepare for the charge, so that the Jet Train will take the lead and plan to abandon the chariot.
Although the Turkic cavalry attack slowed down, it was still moving forward, and they did not care about losses.
They have no way to count the specific casualties.
The people of Ningzhou are very nervous, the locals used to be attacked by horse bandits, and they were afraid of nothing, although they were afraid, but they were only afraid.
Since the Vanguard came, their lives have changed for the better, and basically everyone has accumulated some wealth.
Don't be afraid when you don't have it, and when they have this wealth, their minds change.
As a result, many people spontaneously picked up hunting weapons.
They didn't know how the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Ningzhou were fighting, but as long as the enemy dared to rob them of their finances, they would definitely take action.
Time passed, and many people who were close to each other began to leave their homes, and they wanted to see how the battle went.
That's how people compare their hearts to their hearts, and when they have something to protect, they have nothing to fear.
"Captain Hedu, the local people have spontaneously formed a team and are rushing here."
"Fool around, let them go back, remember to persuade with good words."
He Bida is very pleased to manage Ningzhou, how can it be an achievement for the people to spontaneously come out to help.
But he wouldn't do that.
The vanguard is far from needing the support of the people.
Hebida will not let the people take risks, this is the biggest threat to Ningzhou since its establishment, and he will not back down.
The moon is dark and the wind is high.
Hobida saw that the Turks in the rear were destroying the campfires at the front, and the campfires in the places where the cavalry were concentrated were also being destroyed by them.
The Turkic generals were not ordinary people, knowing that the presence of fire would cause them to increase their casualties.
"It's really beautiful, the chariot is dispatched."
The preparation of the second line of defense was activated, and ten Spitfire chariots emerged from the array of vanguards, following no one to follow them.
When the chariots were about to catch up with the opposing cavalry, ten fire-breathing chariots began to attack, and the flamethrowers rained down in full force.
The pyre that had been fixed for a long time was ignited with fire oil, and in a short time the entire battlefield was on fire, illuminating all the enemy's soldiers and horses.
The archers of the vanguard continued to fire thousands of arrows.
The Turkic cavalry was desperate at this time, first there was a trap in the horse, and then they were attacked by the archers, and they really wondered why the vanguard had so many arrows.
Aren't the archers tired.
From the offensive to the present, they have been attritional.
The archers were in full display, and although the light was not as good as in the daytime, the ten fire-breathing chariots and the fixed fires were lit all over the ground, and they were already very recognizable in the night.
"It would be nice if there was a good wind." He Bida muttered.
The flames were blazing and the smoke was billowing out.
The environment on the battlefield is very harsh, and only a part of the firewood that burns is dry, after all, it is a temporary preparation, and the branches of the current view are all smoking.
The smoke is not excessive.
I don't know if Hebida has the ability to foresee the future, the breeze is really blowing behind the vanguard.
The direction of the smoke and dust was precisely towards the Turkic cavalry.
The soldiers at the front had heard coughing from the opposite side.
The fire oil of the spraying train was all consumed, and the chariot turned around and quickly drove the car, and there were many local arrows on the car, and the soldiers driving it were really fatal, and there were no casualties in heavy armor.
Behind the Turkic cavalry, the generals were all discussing things, and the situation at this time was obviously in what if, and the situation in the battle was unknown.
Many tribal leaders already had the idea of retreating in their hearts, but they didn't dare to speak.
"There are so many ways for the vanguard to attack, Ningzhou has no city walls, as long as you insist on breaking through their defense line, you will definitely be able to succeed."
The Turkic generals were discussing, they didn't plan to stop, they all wanted to hold on and wait for the enemy's defense line to be broken, and Ningzhou would become theirs.
The reason why Shibi Khan had such a determination was that he wanted to take Ningzhou for himself.
Through many fiascos, he found that although the state capital of the Sui State was robbed by them every year, he was able to recover his strength quickly.
The advantages of farming are obvious, on the other hand, if they encounter natural and man-made disasters, the result waiting for them is to eat the big and eat the small, and annex the tribes.
This time they were driven back from the Sui State and suffered heavy losses, and you must know that they were able to have these soldiers and horses mainly by annexation.
With the current loss, it will either take a few years of dormancy to recover, or they will challenge other tribes and rob them of their wealth and population, which is their rule of survival.
However, after the integration of the northern tribes of the desert, it is now unrealistic to want to annex small tribes, and it is very risky to face large tribes.
For example, the Uighurs, the Tiele tribe was not much worse than them.
After Shibi Khan found out about this problem, he wanted to occupy Ningzhou, and as long as he took them, he would have a foundation.
Ningzhou's main source of income is the business of cattle, sheep and horses, in fact, their spies have long understood the situation in Ningzhou.
The business of cattle, sheep and horses is still there, but the locals have also begun to grow crops, and once a year, Ningzhou has a large land and abundant resources, and it is expected that future harvests will be enough to feed their people for generations.
Such a great benefit, how could he have been able to miss it.
