Chapter 36: Bloody Battle
If it weren't for seeing Que Yi Nanru spit out human words with his own eyes, the prince would really suspect that he was an old fox. Que Yi is really ruthless enough, no matter what problems he Mo Heda does, take me as the main thing, and strike first! Even the 1,000 elite cavalry cavalry of the boneless Turquoise were also fully capable of taking the almost undefended Qishi City. When the time comes, Mohedagan may not be able to swallow the umbilicus.
According to Que Yinanru's suggestion, Gu Lulu sent people to confuse Mohe Dagan, and at the same time quietly led the guide towards the city of Qishi. By the time Mo Hedagan suddenly realized, more than half an hour had passed. Mohedagan was even furious, and hurriedly gathered two thousand cavalry to chase after him.
It was past noon, and Goto and Black Tower looked anxiously ahead, and although there was nothing to see in front of them, their eyes never retracted. The expected scout arrow order has not yet come, waiting, undoubtedly the most uncomfortable, I don't know how the battle is going ahead?
"The general won't forget us, will he?"
Blacktower was in a hurry.
Hudu was in the same mood, but he was very firm: "Don't worry, the general is strategizing, everything is in the general's control." ”
Since the eagle cavalry could not participate in the battle, only about two horsemen of less than 400 men were put into battle. In order to confuse the enemy and to play the role of cavalry, Li Huaitang arranged the nearly 400 cavalry outside the field of vision of the left flank. When the infantry is in a fierce battle, the cavalry will suddenly attack the enemy cavalry who have lost their speed with the sound of arrows.
Finally, Aslan felt the fighting spirit. The sword he raised slashed downward, and the neatly lined up cavalry slowly started, slowly accelerated, and accelerated again.....
Standing at the front of the armed cavalry was Wei Anguo, who stared nervously at the black and oppressive Tusher cavalry in front of him, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, as if rolling over, the momentum was so fierce that he couldn't breathe normally. The sound of countless pairs of horses' hooves hitting the earth shook the heavens and the earth, and also shook the hearts of every soldier in the cavalry camp, testing their nervous vulnerability.
In the face of the large group of cavalry that could not be stopped, the only thing that made Wei Anguo feel a little safe was the armor on his body and the heavy wooden shield in his hand......
Here, all the soldiers, including the leader Li Huaitang, have never experienced this kind of scene, let alone have the experience of dealing with it. However, it doesn't matter if you have no experience, you can kill people, kill all the enemies, and the battle will end.
The horn of the Chinese army sounded as scheduled. A wooden wall of shields suddenly rose from the ground, and the pointed horns of the shield dug deep into the earth. The soldiers clenched the grips behind their shields tightly with both hands, crouched on the ground, closed their eyes, and felt the sound of earth shaking approaching and coming. The soldiers in the second row raised their spears and rested them on their shields, the tips of which protruded from the shields and the roots of which were pressed against the grass behind them. There were three rows of such gun shields.
The spearmen in the first row were each equipped with two short hardwood spears for training, but unfortunately the 5,000 large food standard javelins were still in the city and could not be shipped out in time. Although the penetration of this short spear is not strong, it can be used against high-speed cavalry, and it is enough to kill.
Behind the spear shield array were three rows of longbowmen. They couldn't see any enemies, they just heard the sound of the horn and fired the feathered arrows in their hands. However, there is one person in each row, and that is the first person standing at the head of the line. The first man from the left in each row of longbowmen is the one with the best skill and experience, standing high and tall, with a stool at his feet. He is able to observe the position of the enemy horseman, so he can adjust the angle and strength of the bow. Everyone looked to him as a reference.
Judgment is the most important part of the archer, and it takes years of training to develop this experience. But the ingenuity of the soldiers is also endless, and in the training of the Ministry of Light, someone proposed this method to deal with it. After testing the effect, Li Huaitang immediately rewarded him with a large amount of money.
To strengthen the power of the bows and arrows, the cavalry's longbows were collected and distributed to the infantry. So, the longbowmen of the infantry amounted to nearly nine hundred. Fortunately, everyone in the infantry has to practice bows and arrows in peacetime, and although they are still not proficient, there is no problem in firing them according to orders.
The middle army, after the archers, consisted of the Shieldless Scimitar Men and the Overseers of the Six Monkeys. Lined up around the general's training platform. And Li Huaitang stood on the stage with a trumpeter.
In ancient times, warfare paid attention to the right time, place, and people. At all times, everyone is equal. The location is favorable, Li Huaitang has the advantage. Why? Because, the battlefield was chosen on his home field, on the training ground, and the Turgish who came quickly and suddenly came will soon realize it. He, Li Huaitang didn't think that Shi Guoren would stand on the side of the Turgish. Since the occupation of the city of Qishi, he imprisoned the king who was pro-Dashi, and did not commit any crime with Minqiu, and provided them with protection, and according to Umeng's suggestion, he also gave them clothing and food. Except, of course, for those nobles.
The distance of the Turgish cavalry was already a hundred paces, and the first short horn sounded in time, and the first platoon of longbowmen immediately drew their bows and fired. Then came the second trumpet and the third trumpet, and the first wave of three rows of bows and arrows flew into the sky, and before they fell, the second wave of bows and arrows were ready to be drawn.
Aslan was surprised to find that the first wave of arrows that arrived in three batches was unusually accurate, completely different from all the Lits and Great Cannibals he had encountered before. Even, Aslan was a little skeptical that he had met **.
It's no wonder that the area where Aslan charged was the target of the Bright Walk Cavalry that he had been shooting every day for the past few days. There is also the character of the horn man who has exploded, and he has a very accurate grasp of the amount of advance. Therefore, the first wave of arrow rain caused heavy losses to the Turgish, dozens of horsemen fell from their horses with arrows, and dozens of people were wounded by arrows. Those who fell off the horse must be hopeless, and those who were injured may be more than lucky after the war. You must know that arrows are generally quenched with poison, in addition to poisonous weeds, there are also animal feces, once the wound is infected, with the medical methods of this era, there is basically no way to live.
Aslan was a little scared, and he lost more than 100 horses before he could see it, how could he explain to Moheda Gan when he went back?
The second wave of feathered arrows had already appeared in the sky in the form of black dots in front of them. Luck finally sided with Aslan, this time, most of the feather arrows missed, only the unlucky dozen or so rode arrows, and the fallen horses only had a few horses.
It seems that there is a lot of worry, for the first time, the opponent is just a shit luck, Aslan smiled contemptuously, and his confidence recovered quite quickly. Damn, it's time for us to wield!
The wooden wall was already in front of him, and the shield wall of wooden shields rapidly dilated in Aslan's pupils, and the slaughter was about to begin......
Suddenly, Aslan noticed that the cavalry on the left and right had strangely flown forward, fell heavily to the ground, and rolled under the shield wall. Their mounts threw themselves forward and knelt forward, rolling forward again......
"What's going on?"
Aslan doesn't feel good. Instinctively bowed his head, only to find that from under his horse's hooves to the ground between the shield walls was covered with thousands of shallow pits, just the size of the horses' hooves.
And that's not all, hundreds of short spears were thrown from behind the shield wall at the same time, and they stabbed down fiercely at the Trough cavalry who were turning on their backs. The Turgish cavalry basically did not wear any leather armor, and the short spear made of hardwood was oncoming, and I don't know whether to say that the Turgish were going to hit the short spear, or the short spear was going to stab the Turgish people, anyway, many of the Turgish were wearing a wooden short spear as a fashionable decoration for the latest trend.
The onslaught of the Turgish cavalry suddenly suffocated, and they were caught between a few distances in front of the shield wall. The cavalry in front was either thrown out by the horse or assassinated by a short spear, and some of the cavalry in the back instinctively strangled the horse's head when they saw this, but they were fiercely mounted on the buttocks by the rear robe with the residual momentum of the charge, and the huge impact, screams and dying neighing of the horses formed a battlefield symphony.
In such a short distance, more than 100 cavalry cavalry fell, and the horses and people who fell were okay if they died, and they could ride through the horses, and those who were not dead were in trouble, constantly rolling on the ground, and the cavalry coming behind were accidentally tripped over, and then joined the rolling ranks. Blood, broken limbs, intestines, red, white, smeared all over the ground......
After paying a heavy price, the Turgish finally rushed to the wooden shield wall. However, they also lost their speed because of the trap in the last part of the distance, and the slow horses lacked kinetic energy to break through the shield wall. However, such an impact was too much for the infantry behind the wooden shield to bear, and many of them were injured by the strong impact, and blood gushed out of their mouths.
Gongsun Yaowu led the spearmen to stand in the first row, and the Turgish people only gave him a chance to throw spears once, and then rushed to the front of the formation.
Gongsun Yaowu, who squinted his eyes, stabbed out the first spear of the Bright Army, fast, ruthless, and accurate. A brave cavalry rider was pierced through the chest by a spear in his hand, then provoked and flung away. Coherent.
In front of the shield wall, the turks who could not move forward were very passive, and the spears were constantly stabbing out calmly from behind the shield wall, and the cavalry with scimitars in their hands could not resist, and many knights were thus pierced by spears, and then picked up and thrown under their horses.
In front of the shield wall, a warrior with a short axe threw the axe out of his horse before a spear could knock him off his horse, and the spinning axe directly cut off the neck of the spearman on the opposite side.
A number of brave knights rose from their horses and flew into the shield wall. Inspired by the robes, more Turgish people followed suit and joined the ranks of trapeze. Some warriors were strung into the spear in the air, and the forward momentum made the body that penetrated the spear slide deeper, and the indescribable pain made the person strung on the spear can't help but let out a terrible howl, which frightened the spearman to the creepy, and some were even so frightened that they threw away the spear in their hand, and more spears were directly bent and broken.
The Turgish warriors who jumped into the first shield wall were embarrassed to find that they had to face the spears stabbed behind the second shield wall for the first time. After some of the turks landed, they rolled forward and rolled under the second shield wall, and put their scimitars through the gap under the shield to slash and stab, and the unprepared shield soldiers were stabbed, and instinctively screamed, and the shield in their hands was released, and just like that, the second shield wall was also chaotic.
Aslan's riding skills and skills are also good, he has changed his mount, and the original one has just stepped on the wooden shield in front of him, and has been impaled through the stomach by the spear behind the shield wall.
Coincidentally, he was on top of Wei Anguo, and after two horse-hoop impacts, Wei Anguo dragged the wooden shield back a few steps with difficulty. Blood, flowing from Wei Anguo's mouth, was obviously an internal injury. Aslan stepped forward again with a hideous face, and as long as he stepped on the stubborn opponent in front of him, the gap could be torn open.
Wei Anguo was desperate, he held a shield in his left hand and picked up a short spear in his right hand. When the horse's hooves came again, Wei Anguo leaned on the wooden shield, dodged a small gap, and saw the right time to send the short spear into the soft belly of the war horse. At the same time, a huge thrust came from the shield, and Wei Anguo could no longer stand, and "Woo Woo" took a few steps back in a row and fell.
Aslan also jumped off his horse in embarrassment, almost crushed by the fallen horse. Strange thing, today his war horse was stabbed in the stomach twice in a row. A frantilly-looking Turquoise soldier rushed in front of Aslan, burst through the gap that Aslan had torn open, and raised his scimitar to kill Wei Anguo, who was struggling from the ground.
Seeing the danger coming, Wei Anguo's weak legs slipped and fell to the ground, causing the Turgish soldiers to split into the air. Wei Anguo, who slipped and fell to the ground, rolled on his side, hugged the legs of the Turgish soldiers with both hands, and before the cutitars of the Turgish soldiers were cut down, he exerted force on his waist and rolled on his side again, bringing the Turgish soldiers down. Wei Anguo quickly grabbed a heavy shield on the ground, full of hatred that made him hold back the last bit of strength, raised the wooden shield and smashed it fiercely on the head of the Turgish who wanted to get up, and the blood splattered to the wooden shield. Wei Anguo smashed three times in a row, using up the last bit of strength......
