The Sui army was close to 100,000 people, the vanguard army was 30,000, and the other three armies were 20,000 each, of which there were 3,000 additional iron cavalry in the Chinese army, a total of about 93,000 people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The flag covers the sky and the sun, and the wind blows the hunting sound, especially the crimson Sui army banner of the coach Yang Zi, which is three feet and six feet high, which is particularly eye-catching.
This is the core pillar of the army, as long as the handsome flag does not fall, the entire army has a military soul, solid as a rock, standing tall!
All the generals and soldiers stood silent, because in this case, if anyone made a loud noise and disturbed the morale of the army, he was directly dragged out and killed.
Moreover, the feeling of depression before the coming of the war made every soldier struggle in a complicated way, and he was about to kill the enemy, and his blood was surging, and at the same time, he was also thinking about whether he could survive? Is the grassland a place where bones are buried on its own?
People's hearts are complex, and everyone has a complex mood spreading, including Luo Zhaoyun.
This was the first time he had officially lined up, standing side by side with Captain Duan Xiuzhi in front of the thousand-man regiment, and in addition, the centurions were all in the formation, responsible for managing their own team leaders and fire commanders.
Once the battle is over, the role of the team is very large, if you fight separately, a plate of scattered sand, it is easy to be scattered by the iron cavalry and be slaughtered.
Luo Zhaoyun put on the chain mail he brought from Youzhou, because he is now a captain, not an ordinary pawn, so he took off the relatively inferior 'crotch armor' and put on his own treasure armor, after all, there is about to be a life and death battle, and with one more layer of protection, maybe one more life can be achieved.
He stood in front of the phalanx of spears, the spear in his hand stood on the ground, half a head taller than him, and his posture was erect and quite heroic.
Suddenly, in the distance, there was an eagle's cry, it was seven or eight harrier eagles, hovering in the air and chirping, and the sound was heard for nearly two miles.
General Yang Hui arched his hand and said: "Great marshal, the eagle is sending a signal, and the Turkic cavalry has arrived two miles away. ”
"Okay, the whole army is arrayed!"
"Order!"
Soon, the commander's order was passed out, and the Sui army, which was eighty or ninety thousand, contracted its wings in accordance with the formation practiced in peacetime, and the general was located in the center of the formation, and the peripheral forces were deployed layer by layer, with spears, bows and arrows outside, and mobile forces inside, which were used when engaging with superior enemy forces.
The three armies moved, the friction of the armor and the footsteps were low and dignified!
At this moment, the earth was trembling, and the sound of horses' hooves rumbling was heard in my ears, the sound became louder and louder, and the ground trembled more and more.
The Turkic cavalry came.
All the soldiers looked intently, and the dust in the distant sky was flying, reaching straight into the sky, covering the sky and the sun, forming a black and oppressive dark cloud sweeping from afar, making the heaven and earth also change color.
Immediately, a black line appeared at the end of the grassland visible to the naked eye, the speed was like wind and thunder, overwhelming, pressing the top, the countless Turkic horses were like galloping arrows, the hooves of the horses kicked the earth, the ground shook the mountains, the momentum created by the nearly 100,000 cavalry, shocking people's hearts, invincible.
Their speed was several times faster than expected, and the spectacular scene of ten thousand war horses neighing vigorously and galloping on the desert made people tremble.
"Boom-boom-"
This sound like a muffled thunder shook the sky, as if it was going to shake Luo Zhaoyun's heart out, looking at the dark clouds, sand and dust, war horses and people in the distance mixed into the same color of heaven and earth, the majestic momentum of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, with an incomparable shock in the desolation, no matter how heroic you are The God of War, before this unparalleled trend, it will seem small.
The strength of an individual is unable to compete with thousands of troops, martial arts is not a myth, and the battlefield competition is the overall strength of group operations!
Yang Su looked at the iron cavalry army that came like a flood, a cold smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, everything is in calculation, as long as these more than 90,000 soldiers can hold on, drag the iron cavalry to continue to advance, and bring them into the ambush circle, the task will be completed.
Of course, this requires him to be in charge personally, otherwise other generals will not be able to control the scene at all.
Fighting the iron cavalry like this with the cloth soldiers is simply asking for a dead end!
"Beat the drums, prepare for battle—"
"Knock knock knock-" Thirty-six cowhide drums sounded, as if beating for nine days, and the sound was majestic and magnificent.
After all the soldiers of the Sui army heard this, the qi and blood all over their bodies were mobilized, and the blood was excited, and the spirit and morale that were suppressed by the iron cavalry just now were suddenly awakened by the war drums, and the battle blood was revived, and it seemed that the sound of horses' hooves could no longer be heard in their ears, but only their own drums.
This is the principle of one blow, then decline, and exhaustion, only at the most critical time before the battle, can the most violent drum beat be used to wake up the soul of the army!
"Positioning arrows!"
Yang Su shouted, and the flag officer waved the flag and shouted the military order, and after the Zhou Luohu Department of the front army saw the command flag, he immediately ordered the release of the positioning arrow.
"Zheng Zheng Zheng" bowstring sounded, countless feather arrows shot out suddenly, crossed the air and fell one hundred and twenty steps, all brushed and brushed all over a row, the arrow feathers were tied with colorful cloth strips, this is the positioning arrow, as the name suggests is to determine the place of an arrow, the two armies rushed to kill, into this range, is when the archers shoot.
Five feet in the Sui Dynasty is one step, which is more than one step in later generations, this one hundred and twenty steps, the distance is definitely far enough, this is the distance of the longbow.
The so-called longbow refers to a strong bow, a stone bow, the bow force of a bow is calculated in ancient times, usually a bow is fixed on the wall, and then hang a weight on the bowstring, and when the bow is completely pulled away, the weight of the weight of the bowstring is the bow force of the bow, a stone is about more than 100 catties, this is not an ordinary person can pull away, are the warriors in the army with burly body and arm strength, in order to become a longbowman.
And ordinary archers, most of the five-bucket bows used, the distance shot is only about eighty steps at most, and the penetration power is far inferior.
Of course, the Sui army was also equipped with a large crossbow of three thousand, and its shooting distance was even more powerful than that of a longbow, which could reach one hundred and fifty steps!
The Turkic iron horsemen were getting closer and closer, like a torrent of iron armor, and the knights on horseback were dressed in fur and felt hats, and their eyes were deep-set, and some of the knights had wild blue eyes, and their pointed noses looked unruly.
When the Turkic knights saw the infantry formation of the Sui army, their faces showed excitement and greed, as if they had been blessed by Tengri, the god of the steppe, and countless snow-bright scimitars and axes were held high in their thick arms, flashing with a cold and cold light in the midday sun.
"Kill! Kill-" The Turkic cavalry saw that they were about to enter the land of a stone's throw, and they all shouted to kill, boosting their morale and killing spirit.
Neither side has any superfluous communication, shouting before the battle, etc., as soon as they come up, they want to kill each other, there is no room for maneuver, only fighting!
