Chapter 317: The Golden Wolf Army's Assault

、、、、、、、、、、

On the small hill, under the golden wolf-headed banner, Shibi Khan looked at the Sui army that was slowly marching forward. This Sui army gave up those chariots and trebuchets and attacked with all its might, and the Sui infantry led by Yang Gongqing.

"Haha! It seems that Yujuluo is really poor in donkey skills, and he actually called these infantry to attack me. If they had been hiding behind those chariots and had trebuchets to help them, I might not be able to do anything about them for a while. But they dare to take the initiative to attack me, it's really boring! ”

Shibi Khan sneered a few times, and then ordered the son who had already led the army back to his side: "Tuli, you lead 20,000 'Golden Wolf Army' heavy cavalry to penetrate the Sui army's formation from the front!" ”

"Good! The child swears to bring the head of the Sui army to see you! Tuli said ecstatically.

Since seeing Yu Ming's martial arts and achievements, he has always taken Yu Ming as his idol, hoping that he can also be like this famous general of the Sui army, who will be famous in the war and be famous through the ages. Now this battle is a good opportunity for him to make a name for himself.

Shibi Khan looked at another Turkic general, wearing a golden helmet, who was only twenty-four years old, and was born with five thick bones, powerful muscles, and a short beard like a steel needle in his chin.

His name is Chahetai, and he is the eldest son-in-law of Shibi Khan, and his one-handed archery skills are the best in Ashinabu. Shibi Khan also valued him, believing that he and the Turks were the rising stars of the Turkic royal family.

"Chahetai, Ben Khan has handed over the troops of the Ten Thousand Black Wolf Army to you, do you have the confidence to outflank and annihilate the Sui army?" Shibi Khan asked, stroking his beard.

Chahetai took a step forward, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "The little son-in-law must do his best to live up to the high expectations of the Khan!" ”

"Alright! There you go! Don't let Ben Khan down! Shibi Khan waved his hand. Chahetai got up and left.

"Hey, hey! Yujuluo, I want to see if your last 60,000 infantry can resist the joint attack of my 'Golden Wolf Army' and 'Black Wolf Army'. ”

Shibi Khan looked at the smoke and dust raised by the troops around him, and finally had a smile on his face, this was the first time he had a feeling of victory after ascending the throne of Khan.

……

The plain west of Yanmen Pass had now become a hellish slaughterhouse, and both Shibi Khan and Yujuluo sent out all their troops.

The battlefield stretched for dozens of miles from east to west, where more than 400,000 troops on both sides fought desperately, and countless lives were lost every moment.

And in this unprecedented battlefield, the place that caused the most concern and tragedy was the west of the small hill where Shibi Khan was located. On one side is the last main force of the Sui army, 60,000 infantry, and on the other side is the most elite of the Turkic army's 'Golden Wolf Army' heavy cavalry and 'Black Wolf Army' light cavalry.

Both Yukura and Shibi Khan knew in their hearts that victory or defeat here would determine the success or failure of the entire battle. If the Turkic army wins, it can break through in the center, and after attacking the Sui army from the flank, under the attack from both sides, the rout of the entire Sui army is almost a foregone conclusion.

If the Sui army wins, it can take advantage of the situation to smash the Khan's tent where Shibi Khan is located, and divide and surround the Turkic army. At this moment, whether Shibi Khan escaped or was captured, the Turkic army would not lose its command and lead to the collapse of the entire army.

It's just that on this great plain, with 60,000 not elite infantry to fight against the 50,000 most elite Turkic cavalry on the grassland, and nearly 100,000 grassland cavalry who are eyeing each other, even Yang Gongqing is a little weak-hearted.

"Kill! Let these enemies know how powerful our Turkic elite iron cavalry is! Tuli leaned on his horse, brandishing his scimitar and shouting.

He is still very confident in the "Golden Wolf Army", the unit he is now commanding.

The "Golden Wolf Army" and the "Black Wolf Army" are all composed of martial arts masters of the Turkic royal clan Ashina, all of whom are good at riding and shooting, and are extremely loyal to the Turkic Khan. So their equipment was also the best among the Turkic cavalry. Everyone was dressed in fine iron armor, unlike the other cavalrymen, who wore leather armor.

And the Turks were also very smart, always living in the center of the army, surrounded by Turkic soldiers. Let him calmly command the tune.

The soldiers of the Sui army, who were slowly advancing in a phalanx, had already seen the torrent of cavalry pouring from the front. Many of them saw the elite heavy cavalry of the "Golden Wolf Army" of the Turkic army for the first time.

These heavy cavalrymen are all dressed in iron armor, able to resist ordinary bows and swords, strong defense, and of course, there are weaknesses, that is, slow movement, difficult turning. Moreover, because the men and horses are all heavily armoured, the war horses can only maintain two charges and must rest, lacking continuous combat capabilities.

After a few moments, the two torrents were close to two steps, which was the archer's longest range, and they could finally attack each other.

The formation of the fish was a steady formation, with the first five rows of shieldmen and pikemen, and behind them were archers. Forming a long phalanx with a depth of more than ten rows, they marched slowly forward with steps.

"Shoot the arrows!" Yu Jura shouted.

I saw arrows in the sky raining down towards the heavy cavalry of the "Golden Wolf Army" that was rushing over. However, due to the thick armor of the "Golden Wolf Army" and the fact that all men and horses are wearing iron armor, it is difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to penetrate. Only a strong archer with a five-stone longbow can pierce iron armor with a sharp arrow of steel.

However, there were very few archers with such strength in the Sui army, and among the 60,000 infantry, only a few dozen martial arts masters could barely pull out the five-stone longbow, so this round of bows and arrows came down, and the cavalry of the "Golden Wolf Army" in the wild rush only fell and no one fell.

Once the cavalry enters the state of sprinting, it is fast and the impact force is unstoppable. Soon the cavalry of the "Golden Wolf Army" rushed to a distance of one step away from the Sui army.

The soldiers on both sides could see each other's faces clearly. The heavy cavalry of the Turkic army "Golden Wolf Army" was all dressed in golden armor, wearing golden helmets, and there were two wolf-like protrusions on their heads. From afar, it looks like a monster with a golden wolf's head.

Shibi Khan designed the armor of the "Golden Wolf Army" in this way, and he did not intend to intimidate the enemy.

This distance was the best range for archers, but after the first round of shots, Yukura knew that his archers could barely shoot through the opponent's armor. Therefore, I did not plan to shoot arrows anymore.

He shouted: "Except for the archer who can pull the five-stone longbow and continue to release arrows, the other archers will all change their guns!" ”

With his shout, the archers in the back five rows immediately took out a black throwing spear from their waist pockets. These throwing spears were inspired to be built when Yu Juluo was in Liaodong and saw them in the Liaodong army, and he found that throwing spears were especially effective for attacking the enemy's heavy cavalry at medium distances. The throwing gun he imitated was similar to that used in the Liaodong Army, about a foot long, and the head of the spear was made of fine iron, which was unusually sharp.

After making the throwing spear, Ukura also conducted experiments and determined that it could penetrate the armor of heavy cavalry at less than fifty paces. However, due to time constraints, only a small batch of craftsmen in the army was produced. Only part of the soldiers were equipped in the army.

"Throw!" Yu Juluo waved his right hand and shouted loudly.

"Whew-"

Thousands of throwing spears rose from the Sui army's formation like dark clouds, and with a scream, they attacked the "Golden Wolf Army" heavy cavalry that was rushing rapidly.

The weight of the spear is much heavier than that of the bow and arrow, and the arm swing of the spear is greater when the soldier throws the spear than when he fires the arrow. In addition, the momentum of the "Golden Wolf Army" heavy cavalry was originally very large, and their armor was far superior to that of ordinary soldiers, and after being shot by this throwing gun, they would still be pierced in the heart, and they would fall off their horses in an instant.

After the two rounds of throwing guns, the Turkic army had already rushed into the Sui army's formation, and the two torrents finally converged.

However, the troops of the "Golden Wolf Army" were reduced by more than 1,000 people at once due to these two rounds of gun throwing. Tuli couldn't help but feel heartache. Secretly thinking that if the Sui army had a few more rounds of such gun throwing, it was estimated that it would suffer heavy losses again.

Yu Jura sighed that it was a pity that his throwing guns had been exhausted, and it was impossible to rely on the superiority of equipment to inflict heavy casualties on the Turkic army. Now there is only a hard-fought fight to the death.

At this moment, the five platoons of pikemen and shield soldiers at the front have already engaged the heavy cavalry of the "Golden Wolf Army".

"Kill!" A Sui soldier stabbed a shot, the tip of which passed through the gap in his companion's shield and stabbed the Turkic cavalry on a tall horse. This was the experience gained by the hoplite cavalry of the Sui and Goryeo armies after fighting. They knew that they could only be killed with ordinary weapons if they faced the enemy's unprotected front door.

At this time, I heard a scream from the opposite side, and a cavalryman of the "Golden Wolf Army" who was riding on horseback and wielding a scimitar immediately fell from his horse, his face was covered with blood, and the shot of the Sui soldier directly pierced his left eye and stabbed out of the back of his head.

As soon as his body fell off his horse, his companions behind him immediately took his place, swung their spears, and condescendingly smashed down on the head of the Sui spearman just now.

Just listening to the sound of "poof", the Sui soldier didn't even snort, and was directly pierced through the head, causing the top of his head to bloom and die.

However, the Turkic soldier, who had just avenged his companion, did not live long. A member of the Sui army was raising the Pu knife in his hand and slashing at him, cutting him into two pieces in an instant.

And this Sui Junzheng just showed a smile on his face, and it instantly froze. A wolf-tooth arrow arced through the air, bypassing the shield directly in front of him, and landed on his face...... The massive force of the wolf's tooth arrow pinned him to the ground.

And the comrades behind him did not flinch, stepping on his corpse and continuing to step forward, repeating the actions of raising the gun, stabbing out, and retracting......

It's just that, under the strong impact of the heavy cavalry of the "Golden Wolf Army", they often fell in a pool of blood after repeating a few standard assassination actions, becoming a corpse on the ground that was constantly increasing.
