Chapter Thirty-Four: The Leather Bullet Rises to Might
Once again, the Turkic offensive was repulsed, and the riverbank had gradually fallen silent.
Feng Changqing didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered someone to clean up the corpses on the battlefield.
The offensive of the Turks could come again at any time,
Corpses on the ground will restrict the movement of the soldiers, and there is a possibility of tripping during the fight.
These details are often the key to determining victory or defeat.
Feng Changqing, as a famous general in the world, attaches great importance to these details.
Seeing that the Tang army cleaned up the battlefield, the Turks also sent a small force to move the corpses in order to better launch an offensive.
In the dark of night, even if torches were lit on both sides, the visual distance was only within 100 paces.
Feng Changqing squinted, looked at the situation of the Turks moving the corpse, waved his hand, and asked people to call Fugu Huai'en.
"Military Envoy!"
Fugu Huaien still looked depressed.
Feng Changqing smiled: "I'll give you another chance, look!" He pointed to the battlefield, where small Turkic forces separated the corpses from side to side, and instead of cleaning them up, they divided a wider gallop path.
"It seems that the Turks still have cavalry, how, the other side occupies a geographical advantage, although you are heavy cavalry, but I am afraid that you will not be able to benefit from this kind of terrain. Are you sure, no, I'll transfer Li Siye! ”
Fugu Huaien was anxious, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Why not, the military envoy is optimistic, the last general will definitely not lose the heavy armored cavalry and lose Pei Shuai's face." If this difficulty can't be overcome, the last general won't have the face to see Pei Shuai! You're going to deal with my military law......"
Feng Changqing waved the flag and said: "Then prepare to go, whether you fight well or not, even if I don't say it, Pei Shuai will know, depending on your own performance......"
Feng Changqing watched Fu Gu Huai'en go down in a hurry, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He worked under Pei Min for eight years, and he can almost be regarded as the first veteran to follow Pei Min.
For Pei Min's boss, in addition to convincing his wisdom and bravery, what he respects most is his vision of using people to recognize people.
A little-known person, let him be unusually reused and promoted, and the results showed a level beyond ordinary people......
Because it was an exceptional promotion, it also made everyone full of the grace of knowing it, and they respected the young commander as a god.
Just move him out, and it will work better than any words of encouragement.
He didn't realize that he was the same himself......
A new round of horns sounded again!
With the war drums commonly used by the Tang army, the Turks and the steppe peoples were still accustomed to using horns as the command to charge.
The heavy and chaotic sound of horses' hooves on the ground, and the wheezing and snorting of war horses are getting closer and closer.
Feng Changqing is dancing the order flag!
As the dull and dense war drums sounded rapidly, hundreds of flags waved at the head of the formation, and the heavy cavalry in black armor roared up to meet them.
The Turkic cavalry had the advantage of being geographically advantageous, charging down the slope with great speed.
Lightning approached, and in an instant it was close to a stone's throw away.
Continue!
The Turks habitually shot arrows that disrupted the enemy's formation, and countless sharp arrows were scattered like flying locusts at the heavy cavalry.
Fugu Huaien shouted, he was also from the steppe people, and he knew the Turkic tactics well, and he protected the door with his arm, and met the arrow feathers without fear.
A crunch of "clanging"!
Most of the bows used by the Turks were hunting bows, which were not compound bows that could be made over time, let alone strong crossbows......
The heavy cavalry were all covered in heavy armor, and the hunting bow was not enough to cause them a danger.
Seeing that the speed had been fully raised by the Turkic cavalry, a hideous smile flowed from his face, and he shouted: "Take the stone and bullet ......."
Bohu Wen saw that the bow and arrow had no effect, and he also realized that the other party was an extremely rare heavy armored cavalry, and his face couldn't help but be overjoyed.
He has been fighting with the Que special service for a long time, and he has his own unique method for using cavalry.
Although he has not commanded heavy cavalry, he has an understanding of heavy cavalry.
The biggest feature of heavy cavalry is the ability to withstand a certain attack, through the speed and momentum generated by the charge to create a suppressive breakthrough in the enemy's position, the main purpose is to break the enemy's formation, hit the enemy's morale of the powerful troops.
However, the powerful impact of the heavy cavalry was achieved by sacrificing its speed and endurance.
In this kind of sloping terrain, it is more difficult for the heavy cavalry to increase their speed.
How can a heavy cavalry without speed compare to a Turkic cavalry whose speed has been increased to the extreme?
Bo Huwen almost shouted in his heart that God helped me, and kept shouting and speeding up.
The distance between the two armies was reduced to fifty paces in one go......
At this moment, a strange and strange sharp sound came into his ears, and a familiar and terrifying feeling came to his heart......
Fifteen years earlier, he had followed the Later Turkic founder Ashina Gudulu to conquer the Nine Divisions of Tiele.
At that time, when the warriors of the servant bones were holding the camp and running out of ammunition and food, they used a special method, using stones as weapons, and made them pay a terrible price......
The voice that is still fresh in my memory seems to be the same as it is now......
Before Bohuwen could react, there was a very slight sound.
He turned his head to see that the head of a soldier beside him burst open like a ripe watermelon!
Red blood mixed with white brains, splattered in all directions...... It was even splashed all over his face, red and white, slimy......
Immediately, all kinds of wails and screams were endless, and the whistling of flying stones echoed throughout the battlefield, and the hundreds of Turkic cavalry who rushed to the front instantly broke their tendons and fractures, and some of them couldn't even make a sound directly, and were killed on the spot.
Bohuwen looked back, and suddenly his heart was dripping blood, and he saw the ownerless war horse jumping around; The wounded horses neighed and struggled on the ground, lifting the warriors on their backs to the ground, and the formation was in chaos.
The whistling sound approached instantly, and this time it came straight for him.
The flying stone came too suddenly in the darkness, and it was too late to dodge at this time, Bohu Wen shouted angrily, and swung his long knife and slapped it with the back of the knife against the flying stone.
The blow shook her hands numb, and the long knife almost came out of her hand!
Looking down, the blade surface of the steel knife is concave......
Suddenly there was a shout all around.
The morale that had been low was boosted.
Bohuwen took advantage of the situation and shouted: "Turkic warriors, why are you afraid of this trick......"
From the beginning, Fugu Huaien did not intend to hedge against the Turkic cavalry, and the truly well-known generals would never be stupid enough to use their weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths.
As a member of the Servant Bone Department in the Nine Divisions of Tiele, Fugu Huaien has learned the unique skill of "leather bullet" since he was a child.
They used a leather belt about two feet long, with a ring at one end and a small leather pocket at the other. Put the stone in the leather pocket, pull the ring with a glove, shake the wrist after a few rounds, the stone will fly out, you can throw it very far, and the hit rate depends on the experience feel......
The heavy cavalry lacked the means to attack from a distance, and he passed on this skill to all his soldiers.
Seeing that someone on the other side was boosting morale, a flying stone was thrown directly over......
