Chapter 434: A Thousand Shots

Often, the same problem that others have suffered from is often perceived as the result of stupidity, and it is not until the "wise" judge repeats the mistakes of the past that he or she is willing to believe and value the dilemma he faces. Under the strong crossbow array, the "stupid" bone sip and the "wise" Sulu Khan returned to the same starting line, fifty does not laugh a hundred.

In the mountains behind the coal mine, the battlefield was extremely miserable, the corpses were all over the mountains and the fields were lodging, the wails of the wounded soldiers were endless, and the blood flowed like a river, even the gods in the sky could not bear to witness it, so they simply called a dark cloud to block it, and it was out of sight.

"Damn, shit! Didn't you say that their main forces were all on the march? Can anyone tell me that I was wrong, that they weren't strong crossbow formations? "Sulu Khan was furious and 'desired' to kill, and he bore the brunt of the killing.

No one dared to speak, there was no way to justify, and no one knew what was going on, how could Ning Yuan's terrifying strong crossbow array appear here.

Binar is very aggrieved, he knows the two main generals of the Tiger Horse, the two brothers Gongsun, and they all followed Li Huaitang on the expedition, their banners are so unique, and their strong crossbows are so eye-catching, how can there be a leak?

Whether Binar understands it or not, facts are facts, and no one can change them.

"What's the use of asking you idiot?" The scimitar flashed, and Binar no longer broke out in a cold sweat, and his frightened eyes rolled down the slope with the head that had landed.

The scimitar is dripping blood, the terror is pervasive, and Sulu Khan is violent. Everyone held their breath and did not dare to get out of the air, as if they were afraid of attracting the attention of Sulu Khan.

Sulu Khan was left with only two paths, either to retreat or to continue the assault. Retreat will waste all the previous gains; The risk of a strong attack is great, and the benefits can also be great, and everything depends on whether the defenders on the mountainside can be dealt with before Li Huaitang's main force returns to the division.

Some people are sad and some people are happy, on the hillside, Shang Qi seemed extremely excited, he guessed correctly, the reinforcements were hidden in the back mountain, which also explained why the tens of thousands of strong slaves did not dare to make a mistake.

There were a total of 3,000 reinforcements, all of whom were the 'elite' of the Tiger Horsemen, including 2,000 strong crossbowmen and 1,000 spear and shield men. The dense and powerful crossbow arrows caused great casualties to the Turgish soldiers who attacked on their backs, and the temporary wooden shields could not resist the kinetic crossbow arrows, even if they were lucky enough to avoid the rain of arrows, the Turgish people could not break through the gun and shield array, and fought for a long time, and were crushed under the sudden counterattack of the defenders.

Hundreds of men under Li Zhongxin's command were responsible for guarding the slaves in the col and did not participate in the war. And Shang Qi stayed by his side honestly.

"Lao Li is not kind, and even I hide it. Go back and return those two beautiful ladies to me. Shang Qi unceremoniously punched Li Zhongxin.

Li Zhongxin said with a smile: "Yin returns to Yin, Mao returns to Mao." Those two little ladies are the bets you lost to me, and Hugh wants to go back. You can't blame me, the military order is in my body, it can only be like this. ”

"Then what other killer moves does the general have in the future? Is there an army in ambush around? Shang Qi looked around, trying to find a clue to confirm his conjecture. Seeing the Tuqi Shi people fall into the middle of the road, his curiosity became heavier and heavier, if Li Huaitang was still ambushing the main force here, he would not be surprised, it should be so.

Li Zhongxin looked disdainful, and poured cold water on Shang Qi: "How can the general's wise and martial arts be guessed by you so easily?" Besides, where is there a place nearby to hide the general's troops? The scouts of the Turgish are not vegetarians. ”

"Then, tell me quickly, otherwise I will let the Linglong girl blow the wind on the pillow, and let the general promote you to idle work, see how you can still raise a beautiful girl?" Shang Qi did not hesitate to use his last trick to threaten Li Zhongxin.

Li Zhongxin laughed and said, "You are the general's brother-in-law, I don't know, I'm just a hundred cavalry generals, how can I know the secret?" Wrong! Having said that, if I hadn't asked you to marry your sister to the general, how could you be so proud? Get serious, your brother-in-law's identity and my share of credit, why do you threaten me? ”

Shang Qi didn't answer, and laughed dryly twice. Before finding the answer, he couldn't control his mouth, and said to himself: "If the general sends more soldiers over, it will be difficult for the Turgish people to 'insert' their wings." ”

It's always easy to talk about troops on paper, but in fact, Li Huaitang has insufficient troops, not only to convince the enemy that his main force has marched westward, but also to make the defense of Ningyuan City sufficient, and finally to surprise the Tuqi Shi people and keep the tens of thousands of strong slaves in the coal mine. After consideration, in the end, there were only 8,000 tiger riders who accompanied Li Huaitang on the expedition, and some of the tiger riders seen by outsiders were impersonated by tiger and leopard riders transferred from Xijian City; The remaining tiger ben rode 4,005 to defend the city, 3,005 were secretly transferred to the mine, and the strong crossbow was divided into three parts. Thanks to Li Huaitang's attention and a large amount of investment, the production of the Armed Forces Institute has gradually improved, and the production and quality of strong crossbows have been greatly improved, and the strong crossbows equipped by the Tiger Ben Cavalry have exceeded 8,000.

Shang Qi was thinking about it, when the Tuqi Shi people launched another fierce attack.

Sulu Khan called himself a hero, not afraid of any guessing tricks, returning empty-handed will only become the laughing stock of the world, he thinks that this is a gamble, no one knows the winner until the moment of the cover, the lucky one may be him, maybe it is Li Huaitang, but he is confident that only more than 3,000 people hindered him from picking the fruits of victory, his strength is several times that of the enemy, and the chance of winning is greater. At worst, he can also take tens of thousands of strong slaves away, and it is up to him to have the final say when he captures Ningyuan City with soldiers in hand.

The Turgish were brave, and the cumbersome wooden shield was spurned by them. In fact, the effect of holding a shield is even worse, and the heavy wooden shield affects speed, which is undoubtedly the best target for a strong crossbow. Experience has taught the Turgish that the only way to reduce the chance of being kissed by a crossbow arrow is to quickly pass through the range of the crossbow arrow.

When the time came to test the defenders, the Turks frantically put on a crowd tactic, with a thousand people as the offensive unit, and the sea 'waves' slapped at the position defended by the Tiger Horsemen.

Due to the favorable location, the crossbowman has a wide field of vision, and under the command of the standard-bearer in charge of observation, the crossbow arrow accurately suppresses every surging attack 'wave'. A thousand spearmen and shields stood in front of them, escorting them and allowing them to 'shoot' with peace of mind.

Gradually, the defense line of the spear and shield array was broken, and the crossbowmen had to put down their crossbow arrows and pick up their spears to fight the enemy in a bloody battle. Tragic 'fierce' battles were staged everywhere, and the Turks suffered heavy casualties, and the casualties of the Tiger Riders were increasing.

Shang Qi, who was watching the battle, was sweating in his palms, and his heart and liver were raised to his throat.

"Lao Li, are we going to support?"

Li Zhongxin looked solemn and shook his head. As soon as they were gone, it was difficult to protect the tens of thousands of slaves who were squatting in the col without dissent, although the generals and brave men among them had been dealt with, and they were managed differently, and the status of the relatively cowardly Lite captives among them was elevated, and the rest of the slaves were supervised and guarded. Still, caution is the best thing to do in delicate moments, and never take risks until you are forced to do so, in case the chestnuts see the wind and cause the rudder to rebel.

Time passed, and the Turgish's fighting style of ignoring casualties paid off, and the battle began to turn against the defenders, and finally some of the Turgishes crossed the line and ran to the top of the mountain.

"Shoot the arrows!" Li Zhongxin calmly drew his sword and ordered.

Hundreds of soldiers divided into several columns, taking turns to 'shoot' the arrows in their hands at the enemy who was climbing up, however, the Turgish received orders to break through the defense line at all costs to rescue the prisoners, they did not entangle with the defenders halfway up the mountain, and once they rushed through the defense line, they continued to rush forward, causing great pressure on Li Zhongxin.

Soon, the outlaw Turgish rushed up with the tired corpse.

"Kill!" Li Zhongxin swung his sword and slashed the head of one of the Turgish soldiers who rushed to the front, so close that the red eyes and distorted expressions on the Turgish soldiers clearly fell into Li Zhongxin's eyes.

Unlike the scattered Turk soldiers, the Tiger Cavalry has always attached great importance to fighting in formation, and the defensive power has been doubled, and the Turk soldiers who have rushed in succession seem to be doing refueling tactics under their tight defense, and the moths are killing themselves like fire.

After all, the 'elite' rui could not stand up to the advantage of the sea of people, and the defense line on the top of the mountain began to waver, and at the most critical time, the master and servant of Shang Qi were pulled by Li Zhongxin and put into the defensive array mercilessly, using them as an ordinary soldier.

At this time, Sulu Khan was more like the most fanatical gambler in the horse farm, betting all the bets in his hand, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth to urge the war horse that carried all his hopes and expectations to cross the line as soon as possible.

"Sons, rush, rush, rush, victory belongs to us!"

The balance of victory is indeed slowly tilting in favor of Sulu Khan, tactically, their casualties are several times greater than that of their opponents, and strategically, at the last moment, as long as they add a little more effort, tens of thousands of strong slaves will be at their fingertips.

Sulu Khan couldn't help but look up to the sky and smile: "Haha, I won......"

At the last moment, a bull's horn sounded behind the Turgish, and the last word in Sulu Khan's throat was stuck.

"No, it's impossible, Li Huaitang can't kill him so quickly!" Sulu Khan was like a gambler, seeing that the dealer had opened eighteen games in a row, and his nineteenth gamble, which he had bet on with all his money, was still open, shock, suspicion and disbelief came to his black face, complicating his expression.

Whether Sulu Khan wants it or not, the main force of Ningyuan Iron Cavalry is indeed here, and it is close at hand.

Sulu Khan could choose not to retreat and continue the attack, but his rear road was cut off, and he was blocked in the mines and could not use his ranger skills, and all that awaited him was destruction.

"Blow the trumpet, withdraw!" Sulu Khan squeezed the most reluctant order of his life out between his teeth. In order to break through the defensive line of the defenders, he used most of his troops, and there were not many soldiers left around, and under the name of Li Huaitang, he no longer dared to divide his troops to meet the enemy.

"The Admiral is mighty!" On the mountainside, on the top of the mountain, all the Tiger Warriors, including the master and servant of Shang Qi, shouted excitedly, the Tuqi people retreated, and they were victorious......
