Peace can never be relied upon by illusions, and there can be no threats or swords. (Read it.)

Aware of this, Li Huaitang asked Hudu to lead with five hundred cavalry and one thousand martial knights to open the way, and Wu 'Meng' urged the Ministry of Civil Affairs to follow quickly, and some of the baggage soldiers followed. [Search for the latest updates at BSP;] The Ministry of Civil Affairs went first, mainly to keep them away from the preset battlefield and preserve the precious baggage.

In the past two days, nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Three Cavalry of Light have stopped, silently making all kinds of pre-battle preparations, the trees on the hillside have almost been cut down by them, and a large number of earth and stones have been transported to the hillside, waiting for battle.

The wind is still cold and cold, but there is no lack of the breath of 'spring' and the breath of hope.

In the valley of the Mishui River, the soldiers of the Ministry of Light are strictly organized, and the swords are strict. Everything is ready, everything is ready, all it is for the Turks who came to hit the wall and contribute their heads.

Exploits mean honor and are fish. The reward represents the real profit, that is, the bear's paw.

Fame and fortune are the wishes of the soldiers of the Ministry of Light, and it is not difficult to realize. Although their heads were still hanging around their necks, the soldiers of the Ministry of Light couldn't wait.

Li Huaitang is high-spirited, relaxed and confident, showing the grace of the master. Although the world is big and there are many forces, as long as the crossbow is in hand, I can gallop and do whatever I want.

Hehe, stepping on the crossbow, Li Huaitang couldn't help laughing, more fox than a fox......

The battlefield was chosen at the entrance to the valley. Facing the direction of the enemy, on the left was a slope that extended down the steep slope and began to flatten at a distance of several hundred paces from the dense water, and on the right was the dense water that was gradually thawing.

Four thousand warrior knights stood in a line on the gentle valley, and in front of them were two rows of repulsive horses, and before the repulsion of the horses were countless traps that had been set up.

Five thousand baggage soldiers rushed forward to guard the mountainside, forming a right angle with the warrior knights, echoing each other from afar.

Li Huaitang personally led a thousand cavalry, living on the hillside, guarding the left flank of the Wu cavalry.

At noon, the Turgishites appeared.

First, the sporadic scouts, finding that the road in front of them were blocked, sent people to turn back and inform the army, leaving several cavalry wandering around and provoking.

It didn't take long for the army of bone slurs to arrive belatedly.

Since the slope in front of him had already been occupied by the other party, the battlefield left for the bone sip was only a few hundred paces wide. (Please remember ours.)

Unless the defenders above his right were the first to attack, only a few hundred horsemen could be arranged for each charge. Obviously, the loss of terrain will cost the bone slurp even more.

The stalemate was first broken by the charge of five hundred Turgish cavalry.

Gu Si lost his patience, he didn't believe it, the siege cavalry can't do it, can't even take them in the field?

The first attempt to 'sexual' attack was frustrated in front of a trench a hundred paces away from the defenders, and dozens of knights were killed and wounded in the ditch wide and deep by a man, and dozens more were killed and wounded in the 'chaotic' arrows.

"Humph! Stop this technique. ”

Bone smirked disdainfully.

The attack stopped for half an hour. The wooden platoon appeared, holding the platoon in one hand and the sack of dirt on their shoulders in the other, constantly shuttling between the trenches and the army. The poor Turgish used even the 'wool' felt they carried as a tool for loading earth.

The three trenches in succession took a lot of time for the Turgish to fill up. Before the sun goes down, there is not much time left for the bone sip. Although the 'spring' day has arrived, the chill after the sun sets still makes people feel frozen to the bone. All the Turgish people think that they are here to hunt sheep, and all the materials for food, clothing, and shelter can be exempted, and what do the 'fat' sheep in front of them want? Why bring! The capacity is also reserved for the return trip.

Gu Si, who traveled lightly, found his embarrassment, if he couldn't eliminate Li Huaitang's strength as soon as possible and take the sheep to 'fat', then he would face a situation of freezing and starvation.

With a horizontal heart, the bone slurred four thousand horsemen, divided into four 'waves', ready to continue attacking until they broke through the defense of the defenders in front of them. Gu Si has reason to believe that these soldiers of his hundred battles, once they enter the hand-to-hand battle, victory will belong to him. He was already enjoying the pursuit in advance.

This time, the long-range strike force that the defenders violently 'exposed' really made the bones dumbfounded for a while.

When the first 'wave' attack of the Turgist Shi entered the three hundred paces, the pedal crossbowmen of the Bright Foot Rider were the first to exert their might, and more than two hundred thick and long crossbow arrows roared towards the dense cavalry formation of the Turgist Shi. In the past two days, on this preset battlefield, the officers and men have been thoroughly familiar with every striking point. The Turgish's attack 'Wave' was lucky enough to crash head-on into the powerful rain of crossbow arrows.

Under the dense crossbow arrows, it was miserable. As long as you are hit, it is hard to find a living. A crossbow arrow pierced the chestward of a knight domineeringly, and then flew backwards with him, and the remaining arrow was 'inserted' into the war horse that followed, and one man and one horse violently 'violently' collided, and the flesh and blood mist 'mixed' together, churning in the air, blocking the sight of the knight who followed behind. Some soldiers were fixed to the ground or on top of their horses by the crossbow arrows that rushed down from the heights, and even the horses that were hit by the arrows died instantly, and the corpses of men and horses were connected together, and they fell and rolled forward strangely.

The terrifying blow did not end there, and after entering a distance of more than two hundred paces, more than three hundred crossbow arrows appeared in the sky, which were the masterpieces of crossbowmen with open arms. The assault cavalry team, which had been plowed by the crossbow arrows of the pedal crossbows, had fallen miserably with dozens of men and horses, and the formation was even more sparse.

However, the tragedy was far from over, and after entering the distance of one hundred and fifty paces, the Turgish cavalry was painfully aware that a dense cloud of arrows had once again appeared above their heads! Yes, the black oppressive arrow cloud is about to form a deadly rain of arrows. This time, the rain of arrows was even more intensive, at least two thousand.

Under Haruka's command, nearly 3,000 longbowmen were busy sending out the feathered arrows in their hands, and then took out the second one to continue firing.

Although the morale was greatly damaged, it was impossible for the cavalry that had already run to stop, and the herd of horses behind them was the motivation for them to continue to rush forward, and the surviving cavalry of the Turgish cavalry had to continue to advance on the journey of death.

The trenches were gone, but within thirty paces were full of pits, and the swift horses stumbled and fell mysteriously on the cold ground. Then there were those unlucky knights who fell to the ground, and their bodies became the safety pedals for the subsequent war horses.

It's our turn! The commander who led the team wanted to spit out a bad breath in his heart.

However, the defenders continued to surprise him and make him depressed. Before he could get his wish, hundreds of short spears covered him head-on.

At close range, the short spears thrown by the defenders were no less powerful than crossbow arrows. Under the rain of spears, there will be no wounded, and the short spears will bring death to the cavalry who are attacking. The commander could no longer escape, and with a trace of unwillingness, he fell on the last charging distance.

Every time they received a blow, the corpses of the fallen men and horses tripped over many of the horses behind them, and the cavalry's charging speed was choked. When the sad cavalry was rejected, they could not advance any further. The cunning and impudent defenders buried the horses deep in the dirt, seriously hindering the progress of the knights' carrying and dragging. The cavalrymen who stopped their horses and fought against them were greeted mercilessly by the longbow at close range.

Standing on the hillside, Li Huaitang was condescending, witnessing the various strike methods of the martial knights in an orderly manner, and he was quite satisfied. The only deficiency was that there were too few pedal crossbows, and the first batch of finished strong crossbows in the Armed Courtyard was only more than 240, but what made him feel relieved was that the longbow 'made' several hundred.

Gu Si gritted his teeth and cursed Li Huaitang in the most vicious language he could think of, this shameless Li Huaitang actually hid his strength deeply, and actually hid his strength from his allies!

The bone slurps the 'blinded' head and suffers a big loss. His vision was blocked by the cavalry in full gear, and the battle situation in front of him could not be entered. However, looking at the rain of locusts and arrows in the sky, he could guess the casualties. There was no room for maneuver in this narrow battlefield, and it was impossible to 'shoot' on horseback, or to go around the flank or rear flank of the defenders in search of weak points.

The second 'wave' cavalry was already halfway there, and the third 'wave' cavalry was also in formation. However, the cavalry in front of them had attacked much less than expected, and so far had not moved the damned horses out of the way. If all the cavalry rushed forward in this way, they would only crowd in front of the repulsion, allowing the defenders to harvest their fragile lives with their longbows.

On the mountainside in front of the right flank of the Turgish people, Li Huaitang's thousands of baggage soldiers let out a strong and majestic cheering sound, shaking the heavens and the earth, and whirling between the mountains for a long time.

The army of Turgish began to feel timid, and the knights of the second 'wave' hesitated and did not dare to speed up.

"Withdraw it!"

Que Yi reluctantly spit out the sound of his heart. Morale has been lost, and the terrain is unfavorable, making it difficult to predict the outcome of the battle. Enemies on the flanks can rush down at any time and turn the tide of battle into a 'melee'. Without speed, the Turgish will have no advantage to speak of.

A succession of muffled horns roared from the army of the Turgish.

As soon as the Turgish, who were preparing to attack, were granted amnesty, they quickly reined in their horses and moved away from the battlefield full of death. And according to the Tuqi Shi people in front of the horse, they couldn't cry or laugh, and such a situation simply put them in a dilemma. Without reinforcements, if you continue to stay here, you will only die, but if you turn around and run away, you will 'expose' your unsuspecting back to the enemy archers as a target. In desperation, the Turgish people still chose to retreat, at least, so that they still have a chance to escape.

Under the enthusiastic farewell of the longbowmen, less than 300 of the 1,000 Turgish eventually retreated.

"How can they have so many powerful crossbows? Can this battle still be fought? ”

Depression and remorse were 'intertwined' in Gu Si's heart, and he suddenly felt deep fear for Li Huaitang, a former ally, which was a mountain that he could not overcome.

"Who is the sheep?"

Suspicion spread among the Turgish army.

The strong crossbow has formed a lingering 'shadow' in the hearts of the Turgish, and the unknown and mysterious are the most terrifying.
