Chapter 37: Beheading Hundreds of Levels
Li Huaitang had been paying attention to the battle situation, and he was deeply impressed by the fierceness and bravery of the Tuqi Shi people, and the opponents he had encountered before were not so strong. Today, it was the favorable terrain that made the arrogant and conceited Turgish suffer a big loss, but how should the tens of thousands of Turgish people deal with it in the future? Is it only the only one who escapes? Li Huaitang was a little distracted.
"General, isn't it time for the cavalry to attack?"
The six monkeys beside him interrupted Li Huaitang's thoughts. The six monkeys felt very proud, and he was the first person to call Li Huaitang a general. After hearing this title, many people followed suit, and it always sounded like a general.
"Wait, it's not the time yet. Come, take the longbow and give it to me. ”
If it weren't for the fact that he still had a little sense of being handsome, Li Huaitang would have drawn his sword and entered the stalemate battlefield. The fierce battle in front of him made Li Huaitang feel itchy in his hands, and the crazy Turgist had already aroused his desire to fight.
Li Huaitang took the longbow taken by the six monkeys, bent the bow and drew the arrows, and aimed at a turkey warrior he had been paying attention to for a while. The man was so fierce that he rode on horseback, wielded a pair of axes, and cut off several spears in quick succession. What's even more amazing is his equestrian skills, with his legs he can control the war horse, make the war horse stand up, and raise his front legs to step on the wooden shield fiercely, and the wooden shield and shield soldiers are trampled back again and again. A gap was easily opened by him, and the proud Turgish man drove his horse in, slashed left and right with the axe in his hand, killing two Light Infantry in a row, widening the gap in the first shield wall, and more Turgish cavalry followed and rushed in.
Li Huaitang relaxed his longbow, feeling that he was not sure that he could shoot the turkey warrior from a hundred paces away.
If you can't do one, you can always do ten! Li Huaitang ordered ten longbowmen and asked them to stand in a row on the point platform. Then he raised his hand and pointed at the arrogant Turgish cavalry and said, "Aim at the Turgish man with a double axe, listen to my orders, and release arrows together." ”
"Yes, General."
Ten longbowmen drew their longbows, wanting to show their strength in front of the general.
"Put!"
Li Huaitang said loudly.
The Trolls, armed with two axes, had just driven another spearman away, but was stopped by a wooden shield. Behind him, a huge gap had been torn open. The Light infantry was desperately engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the incoming Turgish.
Ten feathered arrows flew neatly towards the Turgish warrior on his horse, but the Turgish warrior did not feel the danger approaching in the slightest, and he had just swung a spear with his axe, and was about to return to the axe to smash the wooden shield in front of him. But he had no chance, and the three arrows plunged into his strong body almost simultaneously, and the inertia of the arrows carried him flying and falling heavily from his horse. The axe in his hand lost control, but he still maintained a slashing posture, and slashed into the wooden shield in the air, deeply embedded in the wooden shield, and the broken wood chips splashed everywhere, some flew gently, and finally fell on his face, as if it was pity and pity.....
The ten longbowmen let out a cheer, the result of the battle, so easily.
In this way, with Li Huaitang's pointing, more than a dozen of the fierce Turks who were named were sniped off their horses one by one.
The battle did not develop according to Aslan's will, and despite breaking through the first shield wall, the expected scenario of shocking the opponent to pieces did not appear. On the contrary, all the warriors who broke through were surrounded and suppressed. He was puzzled, could it be that what he encountered was **, how could he be so resilient? He didn't know that once these former slaves turned humiliation into courage, it was also very terrible. It was with such a deadly ruthlessness that Leng blocked the Tuqi Shi people behind the first shield wall.
The Turgish were already showing signs of fatigue and their morale was low.
Li Huaitang accurately grasped the fighter, the horn man blew the agreed horn, and the scouts nearby heard the sound and immediately fired arrows.
The eyes of the black tower and the protector on the left side of the ambush lit up at the same time, and they jumped on their horses excitedly and shouted, "Go, assault!" ”
Nearly 400 Light Cavalry surged out, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves reached the ears of both sides who were in a frantic battle.
The morale of the Bright infantry was boosted, while the Trolls panicked.
Although he did not receive Aslan's order, some of the Tukshi were already retreating, and then, the herd effect appeared, and the people who were hesitating also retreated, and finally, even Aslan retreated helplessly, and the army was defeated.
The retreating Turgish were once again baptized by a rain of arrows, leaving behind dozens of corpses.
On the entire battlefield, corpses were strewn all over the ground, men and horses were crisscrossed, and the blood flowed almost like a shield. The fierce battle almost knocked the spear and shield men in the first row into collapse.
Aslan followed more than 200 horsemen to the east and fled desperately, the north was the direction of return, but he was intercepted by his opponent. Luckily, he picked a good horse and allowed him to gradually get past most of the deserters. The deserters who are left behind will definitely not survive. The opponent's war horse has more rest time than theirs, and the opponent is already at high speed when he assaults, while his own war horse has been running all morning, and after the fierce battle just now, the strength is definitely insufficient.
Godu and Black Tower commanded the cavalry under their command, catching up with one tired soldier after another, watching their desperate expressions, easily cutting them off their horses, and then leading the horses by the hand. The more than 200 Turkish cavalry that had lost the will to fight gradually became a dozen, while the Light cavalry did not suffer even a single casualty.
Li Huaitang looked at the disappeared cavalry, and suddenly found that there was a loophole in the order he had given. He sent the cavalry out of the attack, but did not say when they would withdraw. And the army of the Turgish will appear at any time, and even the most stupid opponent will not send only a few cavalry. Thinking of the Tuqi Shi army, the scout brought back bad news, making the shoe in Li Huaitang's heart fall.
"Speed up the cleaning of the battlefield, don't want a dead horse, don't hurt a horse. In addition, tell Goto and Kuroko to withdraw immediately. ”
Li Huaitang quickly gave the order in one breath.
This order saved Aslan's life, and Godu almost caught up with him. At that time, the scout brought Li Huaitang's order, and the unwilling protector ordered the arrows to be released, and the sound of the bow and arrow breaking through the air startled Aslan, but fortunately, the cavalry of the Ministry of Light was very bad, otherwise Aslan would really have to stay.
In this battle, the infantry casualties were a bit severe. Mainly wounded, the number of wounded soldiers reached an unprecedented 200, more than half of them were internal injuries, and Wei Anguo was one of the serious internal injuries. The rest were knife wounds, which were well protected due to the fact that the infantry in the first platoon were dressed in iron armor. Most people's injuries are not serious, but they require the necessary treatment and long recuperation.
Eighty-two people were killed in the battle. They were all identified and placed on pack horses to be transported back for cremation.
As for the results of the battle, just in front of the infantry formation, more than 350 corpses of the Turgish were left, and some of them were unrecognizable. There were only a dozen intact war horses, a lot of saddles, bows and arrows and scimitars. As for the countless treasures looted from the dead Turgish knights, Li Huaitang acquiesced in their act of getting rich.
The results of the cavalry were much richer. Two hundred and twenty heads, and two hundred and twenty horses.
It was a complete victory, a great victory for the Bright Army, which had only been established for more than half a month.
