Chapter 373: Decisive Battle

Like all arrogant knights, the camel soldiers of the Fire Quest Nation looked down on the infantry from the bottom of their bones, and although the orders of the Trolls were obviously for them to gnaw on the bones, their resistance was not great, and it was easy for them to crush the infantry formation in front of them. For the sake of the large amount of silk and the face of the 'woman', the 'flower' disdainfully accepted Suo's order.

The sound of the trumpet announced the end of the confrontation, and five thousand tall camel riders detached themselves from the thick formation of the Turk Shi people, pressed down on the tiger riders with great vigour, and accelerated to begin at a distance of eight hundred paces. The galloping momentum of five thousand camels was terrifying, and the effect of countless heavy hooves striking the earth was enough to scare away all the timid or undetermined people on their side, but the tigers who fought against them were as immobile as a mountain, and the battle-hardened soldiers were fearless and methodical.

The distance reached five hundred paces, and the strong crossbow was gone, four hundred steps, still missing, three hundred steps, and finally seen, hundreds of crossbow arrows rose rapidly into the air, and then fell, for the attack surface formed by thousands of horsemen, hundreds of arrows seemed quite sparse, only brought them dozens of casualties, and then the second round of the same number of crossbow arrows came to the head of the camel rider again, and took the lives of dozens of knights.

"Haha! See? This is the strong crossbow of the Ningyuan horse thief! Suo breathed a sigh of relief, the legendary enemy's strong crossbow array was really better than a hundred things to see, and the knights of the Fire Seeking Country tested their depth with a single charge.

Before Suo's smile could spread, the warriors of the 'flower' were baptized by thousands of dense arrows, which rained down three rounds in a row, with astonishing accuracy, almost all of them covering the charging route of the knights of the Fire Seeking Country, bringing them a large number of casualties.

At this moment, the 'flower' Lazite regretted that his heart was like a knife, it was not easy to train desert warriors, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of knights fell on the way to charge before they could get close to the enemy, and he saw such a dense rain of arrows for the first time, in their land, the way of fighting was almost 'hand-to-hand' combat, and there were very few 'shooting' on horseback. In the face of the asymmetrical way of fighting, he dispelled the idea of continuing to move forward, although he really wanted to avenge the dead soldiers, but he came to pick up the cheap, not to send death and desperately, in the hundred paces away from the tiger horse, he completed the turn, leading the rest of the camels to retreat from the battlefield in embarrassment.

"Coward!" Suo scolded hatefully, the fire seeker did not meet his expectations, and the halfway charge did not let the enemy 'show' all his strength. The only consolation is that the power of the enemy's powerful crossbow array is far from what was imagined.

"Gegemu, it's up to you, take your team of 10,000 people to kill it, and let everyone see the bravery of our Tuqi Shi people!" Suo's order was unquestionable, and a group of iron horsemen slowly surged, walking in the footsteps of the fire seeker.

"But why don't we point the finger at their cavalry?" Que Yi Nanru suddenly interrupted Suo's thoughts, in his opinion, instead of wasting his strength on useless consumption, it is better to directly assault the enemy's cavalry, the enemy chief Li Huaitang is very likely to be in their cavalry, as long as the blow is successful, all the enemy formations will be defeated without a fight.

Suo's face was displeased, his authority was challenged, but he still patiently explained to Que Yiru: "You don't know, their war horses are extremely fast, their war knives are extremely sharp, and they are on high ground, if they launch a counter-charge, they can almost be ten. And the terrain here is narrow, you can't invest too much strength at a time, and if the number of people going up is small, you will only be sent to death, and if there are too many people, you will inevitably be threatened by the strong crossbow next to you. It is better to defeat their infantry formation, eliminate the geographical advantage they rely on, and victory will naturally be within reach. ”

In fact, there was a 'yin' shadow in Suo's heart, and his fear of sweat and blood riding and Han sword made him subconsciously avoid a head-on duel with Li Huaitang's light horse. His plan was right, if he wanted to swallow the terrifying Flying Tiger Rider, he could only take advantage of the large number of people. It's a pity that he didn't know that there were not many extremely sharp Han knives, and the armed courtyard only equipped the Flying Tiger Rider with more than 1,000 new Han knives day and night.

Gegemu's 10,000 horsemen moved quickly, and after Suo's explanation, they just entered the range of 500 paces of the enemy formation. Unlike the treatment of the Fire Seekers, the Turgish were obviously welcomed by the Ningyuan Iron Horsemen, and all the Turgish were surprised to find that a rapidly moving dark cloud appeared in the sky, enveloping the Turgish Knight who was accelerating.

Both Suo and Que Yinanru were quite surprised, and their open mouths formed an empty 'hole', "Fooled!" "That's what they all think in unison.

The pain of the Tuqi Shi people is the happiness of Gongsun Wenyuan, he has learned to be obedient, seeing that the number of enemy riders in the first 'wave' is not large, he deliberately retains his strength, and only allows half of the crossbowmen to exert their might, and the result is that the Tuqi Shi people have tasted the evil consequences of contempt.

More than 2,000 strong arrows densely 'inserted' into the 10,000 horses of Gegemu, the casualties caused by the rain of arrows were extremely amazing, a group of people in the cavalry Shi people array turned on their backs, many knights were penetrated by crossbow arrows and fell off their horses, or were nailed to the ground, or crashed into the 'legs' of the war horses and horses following behind, helping the crossbow arrows to cause secondary damage to the robes that were lucky enough to avoid the rain of arrows. Gegemu saw with his own eyes that a war horse in front of him was hit by a crossbow arrow in the front 'leg', and the powerful crossbow arrow broke the horse's 'leg', and the extremely fast war horse instantly rolled on its side and rolled in the air, he didn't see which corner the knight was thrown to, only to see the strange war horse knock down a knight who was heeled from the side, and the disaster continued, and the smashed and smashed rolled on the ground together, and the invincible swept down......

The Turgish people found that the same pain had befallen them again at a distance of three hundred paces, first with a greeting from a crossbow, this time it was not comparable to the courtesy received by the fire seeker just now, more than two thousand crossbow arrows fell intensively, and then ploughed the strong formation of Gegemu, and the casualties were incalculable.

Entering two hundred and fifty paces, the thousands of longbowmen of the Tiger Horse began to speak, and before the Turgish cavalry entered the range of a hundred paces, they released three rounds of nearly 20,000 feathered arrows, taking countless lives.

When he entered the hundred steps, Gegemu's distorted face was as hideous as a demon, for the cavalry in the charge, a hundred steps was only a matter of moments, he was convinced that the next would be his reward period, the harvest period after paying a heavy price, he would cut the neck of his shameless opponent with his iron hoof scimitar to avenge the death of his subordinates. However, the tragedy of the Turgist Shi people is still not over, Gegemu is wrong, the strong crossbowmen of the Tiger Ben Cavalry did not retreat as usual, but chose to raise their crossbows to 'shoot', such a close distance, almost no need to aim through the lookout mountain, rows of crossbow arrows formed an arrow curtain, blocking the footsteps of the Turgish cavalry charge, a bloody 'flesh' wall shield composed of human and horse corpses suddenly formed dozens of steps away from the strong crossbowmen.

"Blow the trumpet!" Gongsun Yaowu, who had been watching the battle nervously, ordered the trumpets to be blown to make the crossbowmen retreat. Before leaving, the crossbowmen in the front row kicked down the half-man-high stone wall in front of them, and a large number of stones tumbled down and scattered within a range of dozens of paces, seriously hindering the speed of the cavalry prancing.

Behind the tiger horseman, there was a rapid horn, more than a dozen gun and shield arrays fused into a large array, and suddenly the shield towered impermeable, the tip of the spear was fierce and cold, and the horseman who lost his speed seemed to see the figure of death, smelled the breath of death, and dared to rush forward without exception was easily assassinated.

"Up! Give it to me! With red eyes, Gegem brandished his sword to intimidate his men. More than half of the casualties on the way to the charge 'forced' him to the depravity, completely reduced to a gambler who lost his mind and lost his mind, throwing the last chips in his hand in a desperate bet.

Although the Turgish people were brave, they could not withstand continuous passive blows psychologically, and in the face of the rock-solid spear and shield array, the commander's orders were pale and powerless.

Gegemu knew how to get his soldiers to do what he was told, and he ruthlessly slashed down two hesitant soldiers, while ordering his own soldiers to oversee the battle and drive the surviving soldiers from the rain of arrows to finish the moth to the fire.

Suo, who was watching the battle from afar, was nervous, the enemy had just demonstrated his long-range strike ability beyond his expectations, and the charge was extremely tragic, with the corpses of men and horses scattered all over the field, and the stumps and blood stains everywhere were shocking. It was only when he saw thousands of soldiers who had crossed the death trap to fight in front of the enemy and engaged in desperate 'hand-to-hand' combat with the enemy soldiers that he was able to relax, although the price was a little greater, but as long as he entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat, he believed that his cavalry was sure to defeat the enemy's infantry.

What made Suo depressed was that the battle situation did not develop according to his will, and the Turgish warriors who rushed to the front of the enemy line did not open the situation for a long time, not only did they not achieve anything, but there were also signs of retreat, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers on the front line.

"Suo General, support them! No! We're going to go on the offensive in all out of the Que Yi's palms were sweating, he saw the clue, if he didn't give strong support, I am afraid that Gegemu's 10,000 people would disappear, while the two sides were fighting, the reinforcements could avoid repeating the process of being brutally slaughtered by crossbow arrows. Moreover, he saw the strength of the enemy, and it was not easy to crush the enemy's infantry formation.

Suo took a turn of heart, acquiesced in Que Yi Nanru's suggestion, sent a team of 10,000 people to support Gegemu, and at the same time dispatched 5,000 cavalry to attack the Flying Tiger Cavalry. Its purpose is very clear, that is, to fully bloom 'flowers' so that the opponent can take care of one thing and lose the other.

The two groups of newly engaged Texak cavalry were greeted by a dense array of crossbow arrows and feather arrows, and the strong crossbowmen hiding behind the spear and shield array would not miss any opportunity to strike at the enemy, and the 10,000 cavalry supporting Gegemu suffered heavy casualties, while the 5,000 cavalry attacking the Flying Tiger Cavalry also suffered a great loss, and the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Cavalry triggered the longbow in their hands when the enemy entered a distance of two hundred and fifty paces, and then jumped on their horses and rushed towards the enemy cavalry.

The performance of the Flying Tiger Rider confirmed Suo's concern, the three thousand knights led by the beard, condescending to charge, the speed of the horse increased extremely fast, and the thousands of robes behind them continued to open the way for them with feather arrows, further thinning the formation of the Turk Cavalry, which greatly facilitated the rush of the sweaty and bloody cavalry.

Forming the attacking arrows with the beard are a hundred horse lancers. The use of horse lances is extremely complicated, and these 100 horse lancers are selected from thousands of cavalrymen, and under the careful guidance of instructor Xue Lingshan, they 'fine' practice two moves, one is picking, and the other is sweeping. The Turgish knights who collided head-on were either picked up or swept off their horses, and the Turgish warriors were very sad and angry, and finally escaped to survive the rain of arrows, but they met the shameless horse lance cavalry, in front of the horse lance, their scimitars were far from reaching the opponent, as long as they were passively beaten.

The beard drove the war horse wantonly, and the speed of the sweaty and bloody horse was like galloping, and the horse lance in his hand did not give the opponent a chance to react at all, and he picked down three enemy horsemen in a row. The rest of the sweat and blood knights are also domineering, fast, sharp, and hard, invincible.

The 'fierce' battle was going on, but it was dominated by the passive beating of the Turgish. Every moment, there were fewer cavalry knights in the battle, and this time without waiting for Que Yi to speak, Suo decisively divided another 5,000 cavalry into the cavalry battlefield that was completely inferior.

The Turgishes were strongly supported on both battlefields, and the decline of the rout was gradually reversed. The decisive battle of pure cavalry was fought together, and the two sides could not tell the winner. With the addition of the swarming Turgish cavalry, the men and horses on the battlefield were quite dense, and the crowded scene limited the speed advantage of the Flying Tiger Cavalry, and even limited the play of the horse lance.

A Turk Centurion discovered the value of the beard, and was afraid of the strength of the beard, he did not choose to fight directly, taking advantage of the left and right chops of the beard, he finally seized an opportunity, went around the back of the beard and slashed down, something strange happened, the blade of the Centurion of the Turk slashed across the back of the beard, and he clearly felt that the object the blade touched was as hard as iron, not the expected skin. Flesh and bones, the opponent seemed unharmed, and in his astonishment, a sharp Han knife slashed through his arm, cutting off the entire arm he was holding the knife. Bearded smiled and turned back to continue his killing journey, once again with good protection.

Although the Turquoise cavalry increased their troops, Li Huaitang didn't care, the battlefield space was narrow, from his point of view, half of the reinforced enemy cavalry was still blocked behind, and they could not effectively enter the battlefield for a while, unless the soldiers in front fell and gave them a place to advance, otherwise they could only do it in a hurry.

Suo also found his embarrassment, the reinforcements he put in became a refueling tactic, the large number of people was his only advantage, but he could not play it, and he could not see any hope of victory in the battle situation of the two battlefields. As time passed, he found that the Turgish soldiers on the battlefield were much more sparse, and the enemy was still fierce.

"Coyote," shouted Suo at his new captain, "take five thousand men and go around behind the enemy horsemen, and be sure to annihilate them all!" ”

The detour means that you have to pass through the death zone where Ningyuan Tieqi's strong crossbowmen are eyeing you, although there is only one round of crossbow arrows, but the terrifying lethality of the crossbow arrows has caused a strong 'yin' shadow in the hearts of the Turgian people, and they feel scared when they think about it. The coyote's hesitation was blocked by Suo's angry and fierce eyes, he bit his lip tragically, pulled out his sword and charged, the most effective way to deal with the strong crossbow array is speed, the faster the better.

Li Huaitang was full of confidence, and the situation on the battlefield was very favorable to him. On the cavalry battlefield, the beards attacked more with less, but they did not fall behind at all, and faintly occupied the initiative.

As for the spear and shield array of the tiger horseman, don't worry, the combination of spears and giant shields is infinitely powerful, and the lives of the turquoise horses who enter the range of the spear are splashed like mud on the soles of their feet, and they are stabbed through the ground by the spears one by one, and the trickle of blood flows into a river of ice on the gentle slope. The Turgish lacked an effective way to break through the thick shield array, and their means were lackluster, nothing more than to let the cavalry in the rear use a short bow to throw 'shot' into the shield array, or throw the only short spear in their hands into the shield array, trying to open the gap in the shield array by causing casualties and 'chaos' to the opponent, and even many knights rode horses and stepped on the shield, and the shield array was torn open one or two gaps from time to time, and the turks who poured in were either killed or driven out, and the strong tiger cavalry soldiers then plugged the gap. The tug-of-war was raging, with the Turgish maintaining the line with a high percentage of casualties.

Suddenly, Li Huaitang saw thousands of horsemen rushing out of the main formation of the Tuqi Shi people, rushing straight to the battlefield of the tiger horsemen.

"What do they want to do? Another troop? "The two armies on the front of the Tiger Cavalry were fighting each other, and the cavalry rushed up and killed their own people first, which did nothing in the battle except to demoralize.

"Not good!" Lu Shangqing, a general who joined the army, realized, "They want to outflank our sweat and blood horse!" ”

After receiving the point, Li Huaitang immediately understood, and decisively ordered: "Blow the trumpet and notify Gongsun Wenyuan to intercept the crossbow arrow." In addition to the general's cavalry, Bai Xiaode led the army to support! "Such a large-scale confrontation, Li Huaitang is the first time to experience, he has already had the consciousness of being a commander, and he is no longer a brave general who charges forward in every battle.

The Flying Tiger Riders who were watching the battle had long been unable to suppress their belligerent impulses, and when they heard the order, they all jumped on their horses and waited for the order to attack.

The coyote was lucky enough to avoid the rain of arrows, but his five thousand horsemen were killed by the dense barrage of crossbow arrows, and when he raised his head and raised his scimitar to enter the predetermined battlefield, he suddenly saw thousands of enemy horsemen galloping towards the flat hill, and the arrows pointed directly at them in the turn.

Bai Xiaode took the lead, first cut into the enemy formation, the horse lance in his hand swept left and right, and the two turquoise cavalry became his results, and he swept away nowhere. The rest are no match for him, and those who dare to resist will only die.

"Damn it!" The 5,000 cavalry of the coyote did not outflank the enemy, but became the target of the enemy cavalry's hunting, and their fate was in danger. Suo has the feeling of being controlled by others everywhere, and every punch he throws hits the iron plate, and the iron plate is so strong that his fist feels painful and painful.

"Withdraw!" This is the wrong war at the wrong time and on the wrong battlefield! Que Yi shook his head with a wry smile, the initiative on the battlefield was in the hands of the other party from beginning to end, and the Turgish people had no hope of victory, unless a miracle happened, such as Sulu Khan appearing behind the enemy, but this can only be a beautiful idea.

Sober was furious, retreating was an insult to him, he hurried after him, twice as many troops, and if he could not win, his majesty would be completely destroyed, and his morale would be greatly damaged, and in any case, he would have to repel them with dignity, if not to give them a devastating blow.

"Blow the trumpet to tell the coyote to retreat and attract the enemy horsemen!" Suo gave the order with hatred. He still has more than 10,000 cavalry unused, and he still has a chance to completely destroy the enemy's main cavalry.

The coyote withdrew, not a feint, but a real rout. Suo's attempt to encircle and annihilate Bai Xiaode with absolute superiority of troops failed to succeed, because Li Huaitang, who was standing tall, was not as he wished, and called back Bai Xiaode who was being pursued with a bull's horn.

Que Yinanru shook his head with a wry smile again, and said, "Suo Jiang, the fire search person is about to be withdrawn." ”

Suolen fell, turned his head to look at the place where the 'flower' was, and sure enough, the camel of the fire seeker was riding in a lot of motion, and stupidly turned the direction of the mount.

Suo is angry and has the urge to kill: "Follow me to intercept them and catch the shameful 'flower'!" Suo desperately shouted as his soldiers led people forward to stop the tragedy that he saw as imminent.

'Hua' is not stupid, he can't see the hope of victory, the warriors of the Turgish used their lives to tell him that the crossbow array is indestructible, he knows that today's luck is not on his side, rather than being defeated and chased by embarrassment, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity of the Turgish people to retreat against the enemy, so as not to suffer greater losses at that time, the cultivation of the desert knight is not easy!

Seeing that there was an unusual movement in the Turgish, as if it was aimed at himself, 'Hua' Razi gave up his plan to sneak away and hurriedly ordered a retreat. 'Hua' Razi didn't know how much his retreat had affected the morale of the Turgish, and it was his actions that directly led to the rout of the Turgish. The Desert Warriors' voices are not much larger than those of ordinary people, and their means of communication are also inseparable from the horns, so you can imagine what the effect of the loud retreat horn sounded in the rear of the Turgish.

was fighting hard but suddenly heard the sound of a retreating horn behind him, and the Turgish warriors were stunned. As if collectively infected with the sheep virus, the retreat occurred inexplicably, and the Turgish coalition army was defeated like a mountain, and Suo 'desire' cried without tears......

It is advisable to chase the poor bravely! The teachings of great men are kingly. Li Huaitang did not lack courage, and the order to chase and kill was very timely, and there was almost no time to 'waste'.

The rout of the cavalry is different from the infantry, the speed of the cavalry is fast, and it is completely possible to escape for more than ten miles to pull out the distance and then pack up the remnants to fight against the pursuers, if the pursuers are infantry, this will be their chance to turn defeat into victory. Therefore, Li Huaitang knew the importance of time, and did not give the enemy time to breathe, and pressed them to fight until they were completely defeated.

Pursuit is not the exclusive domain of the Flying Tiger Rider, the Tiger Rider is also not far behind, they also have a mount to walk, maybe they can't do anything to chase the enemy who flees first, but those opponents who have just fought hard in front of the battle are good prey. The vast majority of the retreating army lost their courage, and they simply 'exposed' their unsuspecting backs in front of the pursuers, as long as the pursuers were fast enough, killing a 10,000-strong enemy at this time was almost as difficult as killing a sheep.

At this time, under the sky between Xijian City and Ningyuan City, a one-sided chase was being ruthlessly staged......

After this battle, nearly half of the 50,000 allied troops of Suobu were killed or wounded, and the war horses and armor suffered countless losses, and the morale was low to freezing point. Fortunately, there was a response from the Yi army, otherwise they might have been wiped out.

The powerful Turgish coalition army was brutally thwarted by Li Huaitang under the city of Xijian City, which made the entire defenders of Xijian City cheer and thunder, and the confidence of the defenders and residents in the city was unprecedentedly strong.
