Volume 2 Repayment of Debts Chapter 94 The Trap of Horses and the Arrival of the Turks
"What kind of mother-in-law do you want to find, maybe I can find you a few in the future, first talk about your conditions, it won't be a big ass or something, look at you are not big, what requirements do you have for your own women" Li Chengyang laughed.
Feng Li smiled: "Just find a seed to keep it, so as not to cut off the incense of my Feng family, what conditions, the conditions are women, live, it would be best if I could be younger, but I, a broken soldier, where can any good people look up to me."
Li Chengyang nodded in agreement, Shinong Industry and Commerce is just a superficial title, there is another layer under these four classes, that is, soldiers, soldiers will never be looked down upon, which is also caused by some historical reasons.
"Then you can't have no dreams, have you ever been to Pingkangfang, I heard that the little ladies in there are all slender, the convex convex, the concave concave, what's the matter, I don't want to find a daughter-in-law with that condition in the future, how to say it, bright and smooth, young and beautiful."
Feng Li frowned and thought about it: "Pingkangfang has seen it from afar, but we are not allowed to enter there, we can only go to find some secret doors, if there is a little lady in Pingkangfang to be my mother-in-law, then it is worth it for me to die."
"Hey, don't say that, isn't your old Feng family still waiting for you to pass on the ancestry, who will replace you when you die? Me? I can't, our blood is much worse" Li Chengyang patted Feng Li's shoulder and made a little joke.
"Hey, Your Highness, how is it, don't be nervous now, this man, when you talk about women, no matter how big it is, your mind will fly over."
Li Chengyang smiled reluctantly, it was fake not to be nervous, now his legs are still weak, and he can think of the situation he will face with his toes, how can he still calm down if he has not even killed a chicken, fortunately, the robe is wide, otherwise you can see his different shaking legs at a glance.
Therefore, I have been looking for a topic with Feng Li before, in order to kill this waiting time and divert his attention, otherwise he may fall to the ground before the Turks come, sometimes death is not terrible, and the process of waiting for death is the most tormenting.
Feng Li, as a veteran of a hundred battles, copes with the new recruits. The son comes one by one, and Li Chengyang is the recruit egg. Son, so far, it has achieved good results.
"Your Highness, you will hide back after a fight, and you can put on the armor first, fortunately, I will have a spare armor immediately, otherwise you may not know how dangerous it will be like this" Feng Li took a set of half-body armor from his horse and handed it to Li Chengyang, it was enough to protect the upper body, and the lower body was blocked by the mound, so it would not be easy to get hurt.
looked at the guards brought by Li Chengyang, and found that everyone was carrying a round shield, Feng Li hurriedly arranged: "Those with shields, hand over all the shields, you just keep two or three sides, hehe, Your Highness, you are really well prepared, I can't say that I can survive a few more."
Feng Li's cavalry does not carry a shield, and the general cavalry does not have a shield, at most they have a board in their hands to protect their heads, but Li Chengyang's guards are different, their protective effect is greater than that of combat, so no one is equipped with a large shield that is one person high, and the iron cover is covered with a wooden core, which is light and strong, once Li Chengyang encounters danger, they can form a shield array with a few breaths to ensure that the thief cannot hurt the person being protected.
I didn't expect to use it here now, the strongest Turkic is mounted archery, and the combat method used is to fly a kite, relying on speed and accurate archery to kill the enemy.
Feng Li is worried about how to face the Turkic arrow rain for a while, now that he has a shield, then the problem is not a problem, even if he shoots, he loses if he shoots, and once the big shield stands, in such a narrow space on the bridge, how many arrows are useless.
Veterans kept coming over with new guests to receive the shield, and Li Chengyang stabbed Feng Li:
"And what were you going to use as a shield?"
Feng Li pointed to the horses on the side, this is their usual mount, and now it is naturally not used on the bridge, and it is okay to use it as a meat shield.
"Okay, save some horses for Datang, you have fought so many battles, how should you deal with this cavalry charge, teach me" Li Chengyang is very glad that he came early, otherwise he may not be able to see these horses for a while, I don't know how many lives there are here, and now I can live one more one, is the life of a horse also a life.
"Infantry against cavalry, generally just a shield to support, the first round of cavalry charge is the most powerful, as long as it can withstand this first round of charge, the cavalry is not much stronger than the infantry, but we now have this half-person high dirt slope, no manpower to go to the top, the horse will naturally slow down when it comes here, once it slows down, then there is no strength to rush again, and even will be killed by the cavalry behind him, trampled to death" Feng Li pointed to the half-human height of the dirt slope and explained.
Li Chengyang stepped on the mound of soil under his feet, the soil that had just been dug out was soft and soft, and he didn't know if it was so magical, looking at the vast plain in front of him, he had an idea: "Call everyone to come with me, let's dig a pit."
After saying that, the first one jumped off the mound, a few steps away from the mound, smashed it a few times with Fang Tian's halberd, and a fifty-centimeter-deep hole appeared on the ground, and shook it from side to side, it seemed that it could accommodate the next horse's hoof, and then explained to the soldiers who surrounded him: "See, go dig such a hole, the horse is here, there is one, and the horse's leg will definitely be broken for him when he steps in, go quickly, dig as much as you can."
Feng Li touched and took a look, and then passed in his mind the scene of the cavalry stepping into the trap and the people on their backs, and slapped him suddenly: "What are you doing in a daze, go dig quickly, good things, scatter, dig as much as you can, whether you can survive depends on now."
This pit may not be so useful on the plains in normal times, but for the current situation, it is a wonderful idea, the first wave of Turkic soldiers must be violent, whether the mound can be prevented is a problem, now with this pit, their horses can't be raised, then the first wave is impossible to cause huge damage, carry the first wave, the rest is easy to say.
Li Chengyang also got motivated, while commanding not to dig too densely, otherwise it would not work, while constantly digging the pit with a halberd, the rest of the people heard that the small pit now has such a big effect, they didn't even care about resting, and desperately waved the weapon in their hands to dig, and an average of one person could dig one out in five minutes.
Three hundred and fifty people, after a while, the ground at the head of the bridge was dug full, an average of four or five people dug up, the distance between a horse, it was not suitable in the distance, a group of people did not give up and dug horizontally, before returning to the bridge to defend under Feng Li's order.
"Your Highness, you have to ask for this method, if there was such an easy and effective method back then, I don't know how many fewer people would have died, but it's not too late now, with these, we may be able to hold out until the reinforcements arrive" Feng Li jumped three feet high excitedly, and pulled Li Chengyang to bow to him.
When the excitement passed, Feng Li scratched his head in embarrassment: "Your Highness, the little Meng Lang, Meng Lang, this mouth should be beaten, and please forgive the little recklessness."
"It's okay, it's a big fart, there's no need to make such a fuss, and why do you call the little one again, just let you call yourself me."
"Hey, that's not just going to die, and the little one doesn't care" Feng Li looked ashamed, just now he knew that he couldn't survive, and the barefoot ones were not afraid to wear shoes, so he didn't care if he was called or not, and now he saw a little hope of being able to live, and when he remembered the behavior of not being big or small just now, he was eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Li Chengyang didn't care, he wasn't a particular person in the first place, but now that the situation has improved a bit, at least he saw the confidence to keep it from Feng Li's expression, and his mood was much better:
"It's okay, it's okay, how was it before, what is going to happen after that, don't see me, wait for this matter to pass, I'll find you a mother-in-law, what kind of do you want, now say, I have a lot of maids in the palace, I'm useless now, I'll show you when it's over, don't be polite to me, as long as you can afford it, take a few away."
"Hey, Your Highness, let's talk about it, I heard that the palace maids who serve you are all smart, what is it called, Pan Liang Tiaoshun, yes, then I'm not welcome, it's good to follow His Highness, and this will help marry the mother-in-law" Feng Li looked into the distance and said with a smile.
"You learn quickly, I'll just say it again and you will write it down, no problem, I will also officiate at the wedding for you after picking it, no one can irrigate you, you can work hard yourself, the next day your mother-in-law can conceive a seed, you will be able to be a father in less than a year, and then give you a few concubines, if you want to give birth to a few, your Feng family is about to make a noise, and with me as a big backer, you will only care about eating and drinking spicy food in the future" Li Chengyang also looked into the distance, muttering to himself.
Feng Li took out the long knife in the scabbard and pulled a knife flower: "Okay, then borrow the auspicious words of His Highness, you can't deny it in the future, otherwise I won't be able to let you go."
Then he turned around and roared: "Take out the guys for me, the people who raise the shield, the people who raise the shield are all standing in the middle, they are all stabilized by Lao Tzu, the Turkic dogs are coming, why should we bite off a piece of their flesh, bite them, so that they don't dare to come again, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks at us, Datang Wansheng."
Everyone under the mound of "Datang Wansheng" drew their knives and shouted in unison, their eyes were wide open, and there was no one who escaped from the battle, worthy of being the elite soldiers of Datang.
There was a faint yellow mist floating on the edge of the sky in the distance, which was a large amount of smoke and dust that could only be raised by a large number of cavalry running, at this time the weather was dry and dry, and there was a lot of dust on the ground, and the yellow fog was also unexpectedly thick.
After a while, a black line appeared at the bottom of the yellow mist, which continued to extend as soon as it appeared, and when the length of the black line stopped growing, it began to thicken again at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Turkic dogs have arrived.
First, he heard a dense sound of horses' hooves, and the chaotic sound of popping made people upset, Li Chengyang's heart seemed to beat with the sound of horses' hooves, and even the horses tied behind the bridge began to be restless.
Take a deep breath and look fixedly at the black line in the distance.
Gradually, I could already see the Turkic horse, and a burst of whistles of unknown meaning gradually came.
Feng Li gritted his teeth: "This is the whistle issued by the Turks when they hit the grass valley, so as to facilitate the contact between them, this whistle has always been a nightmare for our Tang people, I didn't expect to use this set against us today, Your Highness, let's go down, otherwise the Turkic dog will come to the front in a while, and the first one to shoot will be us."
Li Chengyang's face was also flushed, he was still frightened before he saw people, and now the most critical moment is coming, he is not panicking, the Turks raised their weapons above their heads and kept turning in circles, and the bright sword light shone on their eyes from time to time, Li Chengyang seemed to have seen such an environment for countless years, and countless people in the Central Plains were in their position, constantly wailing.
"Quick, take His Highness down, it's enough to accompany us until now, His Highness won't say anything even if he leaves now, take him away" Feng Li had already begun to shout at the guards, the sound of horses' hooves was too loud, so that this man had to shout with the greatest strength, and he didn't know if he was using too much force, and a faint light began to appear in the corners of his eyes.
