Chapter 512: Ashnake's Death

、、、、、、、、、、

The Turkic cavalry pursued the Zhou army violently, never expecting to encounter such a trap, and now although they have discovered that something is wrong, it is too late. Now, no matter how skilled they are, they can't restrain their horses. Countless horses fell to the ground on the inch-long nails, and many more had broken legs and collided with each other. The advance of the Turkic army finally slowed, and the fallen men groaned in pain, while the soldiers who kept rushing from the rear rushed forward and rushed towards this death.

"Stop! Don't rush anymore! "Ashnake is the best horseman, and narrowly restrangles his horse when it rushes into the iron nail ground under his seat. Under his continuous chanting, the Turkic cavalry, which had suffered heavy casualties, finally stopped. But thousands of people have been killed and wounded, and the scene is covered in blood and corpses.

However, the nightmare of the Turkic cavalry was far from over, and it was not long before the ground shook, and on the opposite side of the iron nail field, a large number of Zhou archers suddenly appeared, and in their hands they were holding a delicate crossbow. Glittering in the sun!

"Ahh It's a crossbow! ”

Liang Shi in the distance saw it and couldn't help but be shocked. He knew very well that the Lianzhu crossbow had a fast rate of fire, but its penetrating power was not strong, and it was a rare piece of equipment in the Sui army. But the Zhou army actually ambushed a large number of archers armed with crossbows in this place, which shows that they have good intentions.

Now, the Zhou army and the Turkic army are only separated by more than 20 zhang, but the place full of iron nails is very close to each other. Moreover, most of the Turkic soldiers only wore leather armor, and only a small number of officers above the commander wore armor, and the sharp arrows of the crossbow could easily penetrate the bodies of most of the Turkic troops.

At this time, only a "buzzing" sound similar to a mosquito call was heard.

In an instant, thousands of Lianzhu crossbows were fired at the same time, and tens of thousands of flying arrows were shot out in this way, all of them in the tea kung fu! Poured towards the more than 40,000 Turkic cavalry that were densely packed together in front of them.

"Poof, poof, poof!"

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! ”

Only the sound of sharp arrows entering the flesh and the screams of Turkic soldiers were heard at the scene.

Ashnako's five captains stood out in the crowd because they rushed relatively far forward and wore thick iron armor that was different from ordinary Turkic soldiers. It was the focus of the archers of the Zhou army. Of the tens of thousands of sharp arrows, at least a thousand were aimed at them.

Although these five captains were all strong in martial arts, so many crossbow arrows were fired continuously, and the speed was so fast, they were still unable to defend, and they were shot into hedgehogs in an instant.

Although Ashinake was in the rear and survived, he was also stunned when he saw the tragic situation of the troops. In just this round of crossbow shooting, the Turkic army was killed and wounded tens of thousands of people, and with the number of dead and wounded who had previously fallen into the ground with iron nails, the 50,000 Turkic troops had been reduced by nearly one-half.

After a while, Ashinake was horrified to find that the Zhou archers in front of him had begun to change arrows for the Lianzhu crossbow again, preparing for the next round of shooting. But they were unable to rush through and kill the archers because of the trap in the nail ground.

"Quick! The whole army retreated! Get out of the enemy's range! Ashinake had no choice but to make this decision. Since his troops could not rush over, and they could not stand still and wait for the enemy to shoot, they had to retreat for a distance, and then follow Yu Ming's previous footsteps to counterattack.

However, at this moment, the infantry of the Zhou army, who had been walking slowly behind the Turkic army and holding a Mo sword, had already been killed. They steadily blocked the retreat of the Turkic cavalry.

"Everybody turn around and kill back! We are all Turkic warriors who grew up on horseback, are we still afraid of those Han infantry? Ashnake shouted.

The Turkic cavalry thought about it, and they were plotted by the archers of the Zhou army before, because there was an iron nail array to block them, so they had nowhere to use their strength. Now fighting against these Zhou infantry armed with broadswords, if they are defeated, it will be really shameless.

So, they howled, brandished their spears, and rushed towards the Zhou army's Modao phalanx.

"Raise your sword!"

Qin Qiong, the commander of the Mo Dao Battalion of the Zhou Army, saw that the enemy had begun to charge, but he was not flustered, and now he has experienced many battles with Mo Dao to defeat the cavalry, and he is already familiar with how to suppress and defeat the cavalry.

"Poof, poof, poof!"

As soon as the Turkic cavalry rushed in front of the Modao battalion, before they could swing their swords, they saw a large knife with a handle about two zhang long, rushing towards them with cold light and murderous aura. They subconsciously waved their knives to resist, but it was too late. The head was easily cut off by a long knife.

"Kill! Don't let an enemy go! ”

Qin Qiong glared angrily at these embarrassed Turkic cavalry, he had already heard about the crimes of the Turks in the border fortress, and even knew that some small county towns had been slaughtered because they refused to surrender. Therefore, he has always been secretly determined to avenge the tragic death of the Han surname at the border pass. Now, it's finally time for his Modao battalion to exert its might.

Qin Qiong personally swung the Mo knife into battle, and the knife fell in his hand, and more than 20 Turkic soldiers and officers were hacked to death in a row, and there was almost no one under him. Later, as soon as the Turks saw him approaching, they were so frightened that they hugged their heads and ran away, and Qin Qiong was covered in silk wherever he passed.

Although the Turkic cavalry shouted wildly, they raised their spears and sabers and rushed forward, trying to kill the infantry phalanx of the Zhou army and wreak havoc. But the pity is that they are often cut in two pieces by the Mo knife about two feet long and sharp before they can get close to the enemy's body.

"Slow forward! Don't let an enemy go! ”

While swinging his knife and slashing, Qin Qiong said in a deep voice to his subordinates who had stabilized their positions and gained the advantage of the battlefield.

"Roar! Roar! ”

Although the Zhou infantry continued to be wounded and fell to the ground, they still advanced steadily like a cutting machine, crushing the Turkic cavalry, and under their flying Mo knives, the corpses of the Turkic cavalry were all over the field, and the blood flowed like rivers, and there were horse corpses and stumps and broken arms everywhere.

The Turkic soldiers began to be frightened, they never expected that the infantry of the Zhou army, equipped with such long knives, would have such amazing combat effectiveness, so that their invincible steppe cavalry could not resist, so they had to retreat one after another.

But as soon as they retreated, they fell into the range of the Zhou archers' crossbows, and were pierced by the overwhelming array of sharp arrows, and fell to the ground screaming.

In less than half an hour, the Turkic soldiers suffered heavy casualties and had no escape.

At this time, Wan Yu Lin Wei, who had evacuated before, had already killed him from the flank.

Yu Ming took the lead and rushed to the front, already looking at the anxious Ashinake.

Ashinake saw Yuming appear, but it was as if he had grasped a life-saving straw in despair. He knew very well that Yuming was the soul of Zhou Jun. Although he is now in a desperate situation, if he can rush up and kill Yuming, then the Turkic army can turn the tables in an instant.

"Kill! Everyone rushed up with me and killed that Yuming! ”

Ashinake howled, then whipped his horse's whip, slammed the horse's buttocks, raised his spear and rushed towards Yuming.

"It's really overwhelming, I originally wanted to catch you as a bargaining chip in negotiations with Jieli, but now it seems that there is no need for this!" Yu Ming looked at Ashinake, who was rushing over on a horse, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his face.

He removed the red Sun-Shooting Bow from his back, then bent his bow and aimed it at the black dot in front of him.

"What? Four arrows were pulled out at the same time! All the Turkic soldiers around were shocked.

When they saw the white-robed young general in the opposing formation, they pulled out a red giant bow and put four long arrows at the same time.

This white-robed young general is so dazzling and dazzling, even among thousands of troops, you can guess his identity at a glance.

"Zhou Wang Yuming! Sure enough, he is a world-famous hero! Liang Shidu couldn't help muttering.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! Sou! ”

Yu Ming loosened his fingers, and after hearing the sound of the bowstring, four sharp arrows flew towards Ashinake, as fast as a meteor, making it impossible to resist.

Ashinake, though he screamed, used his saber to block the arrows, but the arrows seemed to have eyes, and passed through the gap in the hilt of his sword, hitting him right in the forehead, throat, chest, and lower abdomen, and none of them missed!

Ashinake didn't even have time to scream, he fell off his horse and died no longer.

The scene was suddenly silent, neither the Turkic army nor the Liang army expected Ashinake to die so quickly.

Although Liang Shidu also thought that the Turkic army was arrogant and would be defeated, he did not expect that Ashinake would accompany his life. This was much more than he expected.

"Assault of the whole army! Crush your enemies in one fell swoop! Yu Ming pulled his bow and arrows, and after shooting Ashinake to death, he also calmly ordered.

"Kill! Destroy these Turkic dog thieves! ”

"Da Zhou will win! The Zhou army is mighty! ”

"Long live King Zhou!"

The soldiers of the Zhou army rushed forward with a shout. Their morale reached its peak at this moment, and their momentum was like a rainbow.

However, the Turkic army was in disarray, and everyone could not hide the panic and panic in their hearts.

They never expected that the Turks were known for their ferocity, but the Zhou army was even more fierce than them. The Turks were known for their bravery, and the Zhou soldiers were even braver than them!

The Turks dominated the steppe with their good archery, but their main general, Ashinake, was killed in an instant by Yu Ming's four-arrow shootout technique. Can they fight such an army?

Although the Turks were equestrian, they were not as tactically powerful, and although they were menacing, they were not as disciplined as the Zhou army, and in the event of setbacks, they were like a rabble, and their formation completely collapsed.

"Run, everybody! Go to Liang Jun's side! Seeing his brother's tragic death, Ashinakin couldn't raise the courage to avenge his brother anymore. Yu Ming's powerful archery skills with four arrows in a row had already generated a sense of fear in his heart, and he just wanted to get as far away from this terrible enemy as possible.
