Chapter 1109: Bloody Sand

The appearance of the Nanban is undoubtedly also telling Ashinakin that this northwest is not as easy to deal with as imagined, so Ashinajin learned the lesson of losing manpower in the valley before, and this time he did not rush in.

But just because he doesn't go in doesn't mean others don't come out.

The sound of horses' hooves was bursting, and the Turkic leaders, large and small, all subconsciously looked over, only to see a group of cavalry galloping out, the red dragon flag of the Han Dynasty on the left, and the cyan flag of the Northern Zhou Dynasty on the right.

The cavalry did not rush forward, but stopped at the mouth of the valley and looked defiantly. And the Turkic leaders looked at Ashinakin at the same time, as long as Ashinakin gave an order, they would definitely not mind killing all these guys.

And Ashinakin took a deep breath, he didn't know what was in the valley, years of conquest, especially the galloping on the grassland, so that Ashinakin was not afraid of the enemy, but he was also afraid of this narrow place that he could not fully grasp.

What's more, now the entire Tutun subordinate people are advancing more than thirty miles away from here, and these two thousand soldiers and horses are almost all the soldiers and horses that Ashina Jin can take out, after all, such a huge tribe needs to be guarded by many people after all, and no one knows when the Zhou people's army will appear.

And once these two thousand people are buried here, then Ashina Jin is afraid that he will really not be able to sit still in the position of Tutun.

However, if he does not do it, I am afraid that his prestige will also be seriously frustrated, and if the head wolf has no way to bring food to the tribe, or even has no way to protect the safety of the group, then he is no longer worthy of being the head wolf.

"Five hundred, chase!" Ashinakin gave a decisive order.

The Turkic cavalry, which had been waiting for a long time, roared out, although the number was small, but for the Turkic cavalry rampaging the steppe, it was still possible to strangle such an enemy.

Yu Xi grabbed the reins of the horse, took a breath of cold air, and the frost in the wind rolled into his lungs, and the whole person was shocked. The Hou Mi next to him also smiled and stared at the Turkic cavalry who were getting closer and closer: "Are we going to go?" ”

"Let's go!" Yu Xi shouted.

The cavalrymen had already known this, and they quickly turned their horses' heads and retreated directly into the valley. Compared with last time, this time they are all one person and one horse, and they come lightly, and their movements are naturally faster.

Of course, the five hundred Turkic cavalry, who had been holding back for too long, would not think about it so much, and rushed in as soon as they followed. Ashina Jin gritted his teeth, and could only urge the war horse to rush up, it was already at this time, if there was an ambush in the valley, the loss might be five hundred people, but if there was no ambush in the valley and he didn't keep up, I am afraid that his position as the leader would not be imprisoned.

Surprisingly, though, there doesn't seem to be any ambush in this not-so-long canyon?

At this time, on the other side of the valley, Cao Zhong on horseback waved his hand decisively: "Wind!" ”

A team of Han soldiers lined up with long knives in their hands. And the crossbowmen wound up at the same time behind the sword and shield hands, waiting for the appearance of the enemy.

The war horses neighed, Hou Mi and Yu Xi took the lead in rushing out of the valley, and according to the plan, the two of them each led their cavalry to retreat to both sides of the infantry array, still ready to attack at any time.

And the Turkic cavalry also rushed out of the valley in a blink of an eye, and when they noticed the huge army array in front of them, they were obviously a little surprised, but the Turks were not afraid, and rushed directly to this side, of course, they were not stupid and rushed directly towards the large array, but chose to take the upper hand in a roundabout way to the north.

"Shoot the arrows!" Cao Zhong decisively ordered.

Hou Mi was also unambiguous, and directly led the cavalry to prepare for the battle.

The arrows roared out, and many of the cavalry in that group fell off their horses, but more of them rushed to the front of the military formation, but before Hou Mi could make a move, the foot soldiers next to him had already taken a step forward at the same time, and the big shields were erected on one side, and then separated to the sides, and the armor soldier holding a thick-backed machete walked out of the military formation with heavy steps.

They are all covered with a layer of heavy armor, and the machetes they hold in their hands are very thick on one side and sharp on the other, and you don't need to think about it to know that this is used to chop war horses and not people, and behind them there is a team of soldiers in the same costume, but with axes, the meaning is naturally very clear, responsible for dealing with the fish that slip through the net, and then give a fatal blow to the enemy's cavalry who has fallen off the horse.

The remaining more than 300 Turkic cavalry directly crashed into this steel defense line, the galloping Turkic cavalry slowed down sharply, falling like harvested wheat, and those heavy armor soldiers were not much better, the team suddenly sunk inward, many heavy armor soldiers were directly knocked to the ground by the war horses, but fortunately, the armor on their bodies canceled out most of the impact force, so that most of them were only injured.

Finally made a flesh and blood passage on this almost steel defense line, and soon the Turkic cavalry faced a new problem, in front of the shield, taking advantage of this effort, the Han soldiers had already set up a rejection of the horse, the speed of the cavalry had already slowed down, and the face of the rejection of the horse was even more dilemma, and the crossbowmen were ready, one by one.

Massacres, almost one-sided.

Yu Yi, who was watching the battle from a distance, also subconsciously clenched his hands, obviously these Nanban really had to be prepared, at least judging from their fighting style, they were not afraid of the Turkic cavalry, and even relied on the sharpness of their armor to fight back and forth with the Turks.

And does this also mean that the Xianbei cavalry, which the Northern Zhou Dynasty relied on to run rampant in the Central Plains, also encountered a strong opponent?

Once the original north's greatest cavalry combat advantage over the south is neutralized, it means that the north will lose its attraction in talents, etc., after all, the north can occupy a long-term talent and even moral advantage, in the final analysis, because of its strong force, in this troubled times, there is enough ability to suppress the opponent, let the people of the world feel that there is a possibility of dominating the world, it is naturally easier to get people's refuge and loyalty.

At least in these Nanbans, Yu Yi saw something different from any Southern Dynasty he had seen and knew before.

These young people are trying to make changes in order to become more powerful, and they are no longer satisfied with years of defense, but are already thinking about how to defeat this formidable opponent in the north and regain the land that the nation has lost for three hundred years.

Thinking of this, Yu Yi muttered in his heart.

······ yourself It's also a Han Chinese.

And at this time, smoke and dust rose again in front, and the Turkic cavalry roared out.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Yu Yi shouted.

In the wind, the old general's white beard and cloak danced, and his voice was extremely loud, and the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty strode forward.

The formation of the Han army, which had already solved the five hundred Turkic cavalry, also changed almost at the same time.
