Chapter 406: The Great War II
Thunderstone Rolling Wood Gold Juice Preparation. ”
Seeing that there were still a few hundred meters away, the Turks were about to rush to the city, and arrogantly ordered to start guarding the weapons in the vicinity.
The first counterattack of the Turkic cavalry brought thousands of casualties to Yingzhou City, which shows that it was no luck that the Turks were able to cross the steppe.
They are natural cavalrymen and natural marksmen, plus the Turks, the old and weak, women and children can bend bows and arrows on horses, which is a skill that has been practiced since childhood.
The overjoyed Turkic cavalry began to cover the infantry and began to attack the city, but what they did not expect was that their horses were blocked again after they had just dodged the fireworks and arrow rain that covered the sky.
The war horses that rushed at full speed did not know what was going on, and all of them tripped and fell to the ground, and the leading Turkic cavalry was thrown straight out, and the end can be imagined, the war horse that was running at full speed suddenly stopped, and the Turkic cavalry became overturned under the strong impact force, and broke their necks without a struggle.
Even a few lucky ones were trampled into flesh by the cavalry that followed.
The first frozen line of defense alone cost the Turkic cavalry thousands of men.
The Turkic cavalry who reacted pulled the reins of their horses, and the war horses crossed the first line of defense high, but the successive freezing directions made it impossible for the Turkic horses to rush quickly, and could only become the target of the crossbowmen on the city wall.
The situation of the Turkic foot soldiers was no better, and the foot soldiers carrying the ladder were either tripped and fell to the ground or slipped on the smooth ice, and were trampled by the tide of footsteps.
The most miserable thing is the Turks pushing the door car, the one-foot-high and three-foot-wide frozen defense line has become an insurmountable moat, and the weight of thousands of pounds on the door car has become a burden to the Turks, and they can only be shot alive.
No matter how many infantry soldiers came up to support, the heavy siege engines were still firmly in the first line of defense.
Many shieldmen began to pull up battle formations to block the rain of arrows on the city wall, and let the foot soldiers use their scimitars to start breaking the ice, and in a short moment, they paid a terrible price.
Thousands of foot soldiers were shot into hedgehogs by arrows, and their bodies were full of arrows, which made people's hearts chill.
After finally crossing the first line of defense, the second line of defense followed, and compared to the first panicked Turks, they became calmer and began to cooperate closely with the icebreaker.
"General, there are only 200,000 arrows left."
Zhong Qiang hurriedly walked in front of the arrogant man with the order flag in his hand, looking a little panicked.
"How can it be consumed so quickly, and there are only 200,000 left of 500,000 arrows?"
"General, tens of thousands of archers, dozens of arrows per person are just a cup of tea, plus the counterattack of the Turkic arrow rain, in order to reduce casualties, it is difficult to grasp the accuracy, what to do next, do you want to continue?"
Under the cover of his own soldiers, he looked under the city wall and looked at the dense corpses of the Turks.
"General, watch out for Turkic marksmen."
Zhang Yan stretched out his hand to stop the prompt of his own soldiers and carefully observed the situation on the battlefield: "Zhong Qiang, the eight bull crossbow archers are trying their best to suppress the Chinese army of the Turks, the front army has begun to reach the city, which is not conducive to shooting, use thunder stones and rolling wood and gold juice to deal with them, and the archers will use all their strength to suppress the Chinese army of the Turks." ”
"Yes."
"Pick out twenty men who are proficient in using bed crossbows and shoot the leaders of the Turks with all their might."
"General, what about the rear army of the Turks? 200,000 swords all shot the Chinese army, what should the rear army do? ”
Zhang Mad looked calm: "The rear army was handed over to Dong Kaishan who was ambushing outside the city, in the words of Liu Xiaozi, until the ammunition and food were exhausted, there would never be a short encounter, 200,000 arrows and arrows all suppressed the Chinese army, and the crossbowmen shot the front army under the city, and they must not let their siege equipment be transported." ”
"Order."
Zhong Qiang returned to his position and waved the order flag in his hand: "The rain of arrows covers the Chinese army, and all of them are shot clean." ”
"General, we only have 200,000 arrows left."
"Shoot clean, the general has an order, violators of the order are killed, shoot clean."
The adjutant general gritted his teeth: "Order." ”
"The crossbow suppressed the foot soldiers under the city with all their might, and did not allow them to approach the city."
The rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun flew out from under the walls again, and there was a dense scream among the Turks.
"Huo Buyan, Ke Yan listens to orders."
"The last general will obey orders."
The two of them knelt down on one knee in unison, and their hands held their hands to make them look respectful.
"After the three signals, Xiong Kaishan will raid the rear army of the Turks, Huo Buyan will lead the heavy cavalry to fully support the rear army from the east and west gates when Xiong Kaishan's light cavalry attacks the Turkic rear army, and directly penetrate the middle army to interrupt their formation."
"The last will be ordered."
Huo Buyan went down the city wall without hesitation.
"Ke Yan, after the cavalry rushed to kill for half an hour, three drums sounded as an order, you led the Mo knife team, the spear halberd soldier sword and shield hand covered to open the north gate and go out to meet the enemy, intercept and surround the three armies of the Turks, the front army is now suffering heavy losses, it must be completely annihilated, if the Turks fight against the water, pay attention to opening a gap, let them see a glimmer of hope."
"The last will be ordered."
"Where is Zhang Feng?"
"The subordinates are here."
"Summoned Zhong Qiang, after the arrows are fired, the bow battalion will abandon the bow and use the knife, and support Ke Yan as soon as he leaves the city."
"Order."
"Where is Shen Hui?"
"The subordinates are here."
"Capture the thief and capture the king first, gather a thousand soldiers, and then follow the general out of the city and return to the Turkic camp with the general, and take the Ashina big tent."
"General, no, you are the commander of the three armies, how can you go out of the city to meet the enemy, or your subordinates will lead a team of men and horses to steal the camp in a roundabout way."
"Shen Hui, what does General Ben rely on to command the troops?"
Shen Hui, a pro-soldier, hesitated for a moment: "Take the lead." ”
"Command!"
"Obey."
"General, all the arrows have been shot, and all the soldiers of the bow battalion have abandoned their bows and used their knives."
Zhang Yan nodded lightly: "Send a signal to Xiong Kaishan and make every effort to raid the rear army of the Turks." ”
Three special flares rang out in the sky.
Xiong Kaishan, who was in ambush outside Yingzhou City, suddenly pulled out the saber he saw: "Xiong City, the general has an order, and the soldiers will make every effort to raid the Turkic rear army in two ways." ”
"Order."
"Brethren, the time has come to make a contribution, charge."
Eight thousand light cavalry horses galloped like a red cloud towards the Turkic rear.
"King, Mingjin retreats. As soon as they attacked the city, they had already lost tens of thousands of warriors, and if they continued to fight, they would be all over. ”
Ashina looked at the arrows planted in the ground like wheat on the battlefield, and the entire 500,000 arrows were like a layer of black floor tiles.
"Mingjin Receives ..........."
"Kill ..........."
Hearing the shouting and killing from behind, Ashina's face changed drastically: "Didn't the scout investigate?" Where did the ambush outside the city come from? ”
Talmu's face also changed in shock: "King, the scouts have already explored the terrain within a radius of ten miles, and there are no ambushes at all. ”
"Then where this ambush came from, they have all attacked in front of you, why didn't the scouts send a signal."
"King, let's withdraw the troops first, if you don't withdraw the troops, it's all over."
"Mingjin withdraws his troops."
But the sound of rushing and killing came to mind from all sides, and they had already been scuffled together.
In the many dense forests outside the city, Commander Qi looked at the guards behind him: "How is it?" Is it all cleaned up? ”
"Back to the commander, the Turkic army has all been cleaned up."
"Yuan Qing, Liu Yang, Zheng Xing?"
Li Qi's expression was gloomy: "Killed." ”
Commander Qi's face changed: "Where is the corpse?" How could they be killed? ”
Li Qi sighed and waved his hand, and a group of Ouchi guards walked over carrying three corpses.
Commander Qi looked at the throats of the three of them that were all pierced by feather arrows and closed his eyes: "The Turkic scouts are all sharpshooters among the marksmen, and they really live up to their reputations. ”
"Commander, these Turks have been dealing with wild beasts for a long time, they are very shrewd, and each of them has the ability to pierce the Yang with a hundred steps, and the three of them were pierced through the throat by a feather arrow before they could get close to a hundred steps."
Commander Qi looked miserable and withdrew the Yanling knife on his waist: "Let's bury it thickly, each family has a pension of five hundred taels, and the brothers will make up a little, and I will take out one hundred taels of silver alone to make up enough for one thousand taels and send it back, and treat their relatives well." ”
Li Qi's eyes were a little moist as soon as he did the inner guard: "Yes, Commander." ”
