Chapter 67: The First Encounter

In the era of cold weapons, cavalry was the king of land warfare.

One horse or two horses running, it may not feel much.

But once the number of cavalry reached the triple digits, and the horses collapsed, the momentum was absolutely amazing.

Whether it is in his previous life or in this life, Li Kuan has not really been on the battlefield.

Looking at the figures in his field of vision that were getting clearer and clearer, those Western Turks wielding scimitars, Li Kuan felt a special pressure.

"Arrows!"

Forcibly enduring the discomfort in his heart, Li Kuan, with the blessing of the master-level art of war, still accurately grasped the situation on the battlefield.

As soon as the man who was being pursued by the Western Turks came out of the ambush circle, Li Kuan ordered to start shooting.

With a piercing sound of arrows piercing through the air, the guards who had been lying in ambush on both sides immediately shot their bows and arrows.

Thousands of arrows flew towards the middle, although they did not have overwhelming momentum, but they also made the formation of the Western Turks chaotic.

However, these people are worthy of the elite of the Western Turks, as soon as the arrows move, they find that something is wrong, and then before the rain of arrows arrives, they are reflexive, or lying on the back of the horse, or leaning on the horse's side, and even people with superb riding skills directly put their whole body in the belly of the horse, as much as possible to reduce the area of their attacks.

Still, more than a dozen people got moldy.

More than 1,000 people ambushed and attacked more than 100 people, and only a dozen people were killed in the first round of attacks, and Li Kuan was speechless about the combat effectiveness of his guards.

Sure enough, it was a new recruit, and when he went to the battlefield, it was estimated that the hand pulling the bow and arrow was trembling, and he didn't have any accurate head.

If it weren't for the large number of people on my side, I don't know if anyone would have escaped.

However, fortunately, after two more rounds of shooting, a third of the Western Turks were finally killed.

However, after seeing where the shooting came from, the Western Turks reacted quickly, and immediately someone began to return fire.

And for the first time, Li Kuan's guards began to be injured.

The steppe peoples often enter the stage of hand-to-hand combat after three rounds of shooting.

On the one hand, it was very laborious to draw the bow, and after continuous shooting, the shooting accuracy of the average soldier decreased significantly; On the other hand, in the case of encounters in the field, from entering the range of the bow and arrow to colliding with the two sides, it is generally only enough to shoot three rounds at most.

Therefore, if the guards of the Chu Palace's palace did not want to be chased and slashed by the opponent's cavalry, they would have to rush towards the other party on horseback at this time.

"Why don't there seem to be a thousand? Are a lot of people hurt? Seeing that there were obviously fewer teams rushing forward on horseback, Li Kuan looked at Xue Li a little nervously.

Although this guy did not follow the charge, a large bow was constantly shooting arrows, and each time a Western Turk fell to the ground.

"Lord Wang, there are indeed less than a thousand people. Two hundred more were ambushed in front and a hundred cut off in the rear. ”

"You want to keep all the Western Turks here?"

"With a thousand people against more than a hundred people, if you still let people escape, your subordinates will have no face to stay in the palace in the future." Xue Li showed a tsundere expression.

Sure enough, the Western Turks found themselves surrounded, and after some resistance, they saw no hope of victory, and immediately began to flee.

Not to mention, these people's equestrian skills are really good, and their tactics are also very exquisite, not the guards of the Chu Palace's palace who went to the battlefield for the first time can be compared, and they broke through the encirclement in less than a cup of tea.

Seeing that these people were about to disappear from sight, a group of men and horses in the distance came out of the grass again, and after a single shot, dozens of Western Turks were released.

After that, the battle came to a fever pitch.

One wants to escape, and the other refuses to escape.

Xue Li was reluctant to stay by Li Kuan's side at this time, so he left Wang Xuanwu with a team of men and horses to guard, and he raised his big knife and rushed towards the Western Turks.

At the same time, among the teams fighting the Western Turks in front, a man who was obviously not a guard of the Chu Palace's palace was particularly fierce.

In a short period of time, seven or eight Western Turks had already been slashed and killed.

"That's the guy who was hunted down just now, right? If he is still alive in a while, bring it here, and the king will see him. ”

Xue Li and Wang Xuanwu are considered to be the more powerful characters that Li Kuan has seen, but depending on the situation, the person who was hunted down is not worse than them at all.

When the guards of the Chu Palace's palace surrounded the remaining dozens of Western Turks, the battle was over.

These Turks were not as backbone as Li Kuan imagined, so they actually threw down their swords, dismounted, and fell to their knees.

Surrender directly.

It seems that everyone cherishes life.

Cleaning up the battlefield is such a thing, so naturally there is no need for Li Kuan to order.

At this time, Li Kuan came to Lin Ran's side, and this guy had already consciously started the treatment of the wounded.

Li Kuan encouraged the wounded guards while guiding the scrambled military doctors to carry out treatment.

In this battle, although it was a complete victory, dozens of guards from the Chu Palace's palace were directly injured, and three of them died directly.

"Lord Wang, this person has to come to see you!"

The sky had gradually darkened, and as soon as Li Kuan sat down in the tent, Wang Xuance led a sturdy man over.

"The grass people thank the prince for saving his life!"

This person was simply a big salute after seeing Li Kuan.

"Get up. Why are the Western Turks hunting you down? ”

With Li Kuan's status, there is naturally no need to be polite with others, and he can ask whatever he wants.

"Returning to the prince, these Western Turks burned, killed and looted in Liangzhou. The grass people and their families were all in their hands, and only the grass people escaped by hunting in the mountains. The grass people chased these people for several days, and finally found an opportunity to kill them with an arrow, but I also fell into their encirclement, and I ran for most of the day without getting rid of them. ”

"To be able to kill their leader among more than a hundred Western Turks, and to be able to hold on to the pursuit of so many people until this king appears, you are also very skilled. What do you think? Are you interested in coming to this king on an errand? ”

It is rare to meet a character as brave as Xue Li, and Li Kuan will naturally not miss it easily.

"Caomin Xijun has bought and thanked the prince, from now on, the life of the grasshopper is the prince's!"

The man didn't hesitate, in fact, he didn't have much choice.

"Xi Jun buys?" Li Kuan suddenly felt that the name was a little familiar, "Your name is Xi Junmai?" ”

"Yes, the grass people are called Xi Junmai? Have you heard of the grass people before? Xi Junmai was stunned for a moment, unable to figure out why Li Kuan reacted so much when he heard his name.

Xi Jun buys it!

Found a treasure!

Li Kuancai didn't care about Xi Junmai's confusion, stood up with a smile on his face, and circled around Xi Junmai twice, almost scaring Xi Junmai's hair.

I heard that there are some noble sons in Chang'an City who have very special hobbies?!!

"Jun buy, in the future, you will follow this king with Xuanwu first."
