Chapter 303: The Battle Against the Enemy
The enemy army is coming.
Looking at the Turkic army all over the Cangyuan, Zhang Jian's expression was solemn to the extreme, he really didn't guess wrong, the Turks paid attention to him, and they also used so many men and horses.
The enemy army was overwhelming, and Zhang Jian didn't know how many men and horses there were. But at a cursory glance, he was sure that this Turkic army would not be less than 100,000 people.
An army of more than 100,000 is just to deal with him and the 50,000 foot soldiers under his command. I have to say that the ruthlessness of the Turkic enemy surprised Zhang Jian.
Zhang Jian was a little surprised by the determination of the Turkic enemy, but he did not delay for too long, he reacted, and looked at the incoming enemy with sharp eyes, no matter how geometric the enemy was, he had to hold it steady.
These days, he organized a large army to build fortifications here, although not as strong as the city, but at the moment the defense was sufficient.
Zhang Jianxin is resolute, no matter how strong the enemy army is, no matter how fierce the offensive is, he will also make a wall today to stop it to death. Because he knew that as long as he could stop the enemy army, Luo Cheng's reinforcements would definitely arrive.
As soon as he saw the enemy, Zhang Jian sent his own soldiers to urgently inform Luo Cheng and Jiang Song. Now what he had to do was to defend himself against the Turkic enemy army based on the fortified cities he had built.
In this vast steppe, it was almost impossible to rely on foot soldiers to resist the charge of the Turkic cavalry, but with the addition of these fortifications and walled cities, everything became possible.
The Turkic enemy army came unequivocally, and they did not choose to divide in all directions, but wanted to attack from all the way and crush Zhang Jian's defense in one fell swoop. The galloping image of 10,000 horses is really shocking.
But this did not affect Zhang Jian and his 50,000 elite soldiers. It's not that they are bold, it's just that they have long been accustomed to the formation of the Turkic cavalry.
These Turkic cavalry charged extremely fiercely, but there was not much difference compared to the Snapdragon army at the time of Beiping. Even the coordinated formation of the Snapdragon Army is even more oppressive.
"Shoot the arrows!"
As a foot soldier, the 50,000 horses under Zhang Jian's command are naturally fully equipped, in addition to the commonly used spears, there are also many prepared such as bows and arrows. And these things come in handy at this moment.
After the fortifications, a group of soldiers stood by them, they bent their bows and arrows, and at the same time as they received Zhang Jian's order, they immediately sent an arrow. The sky was raining arrows, making the sky darker.
"Poof, poof......"
The extremely dense charge of the Turkic army, facing a rain of arrows, was almost unobstructed, and dozens or hundreds of people were killed and wounded almost instantly, not to mention the small number, but this was only the first wave of arrow rain.
Such a bow defense is most effective until the enemy forces are completely close to the fortifications. Seeing the enemy charging towards him, Zhang Jian's face was slightly condensed, without the slightest slackness, and he seemed very calm.
And Datou Khan ordered to charge, and when he saw the dense rain of arrows from the enemy, he couldn't help frowning slightly. Although the loss of the army was not small, he did not choose to retreat, in his opinion, he must take Zhang Jian's army directly in one go.
At this moment, the Turkic army of more than 100,000 people charged, and the earth trembled, and the power was amazing. If you can't even take down the enemy in this state, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to go forward.
Datou Khan sat in the rear army, he watched the Turkic army rush into battle, and then watched the enemy army defend in an orderly manner, his expression gradually became solemn. This is not the way to go, he must find an opportunity to break the current situation.
Datou Khan pressed the rear army, not only to stabilize the morale of the army, but also to control the overall situation. When he looked closely, he saw that the enemy's defenses depended on those fortifications.
In order to break through the enemy's defenses head-on, you must first break through these fortifications. As long as these fortifications can be breached, the enemy's defenses will certainly not be as orderly as they are now.
Since ancient times, marching has required order. The Turkic method of military training was different from that of the Han Chinese, and most of their drills came from fighting on the steppe, and they first went through battles to form an army.
Therefore, at this moment, the offensive of the Turkic army looks messy, although the power is extremely amazing, but the effect achieved is not obvious. At this moment, the enemy's orderly defense made the Turkic army very uncomfortable.
"Kill, the one who first enters the enemy's formation, the king!"
After a little consideration, Datou Khan shouted loudly. The Turkic kingship, which is already the highest glory, is undoubtedly the inspiration for these Turkic soldiers.
When the Turkic cavalry heard the proclamation of the Datou Khan, their whole body became excited, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and their blood boiled all over their bodies, and they were not afraid of death as the army charged.
If it was only a sporadic army, even if Datou Khan gave such a heavy reward, it might not be able to achieve such an effect. But now more than 100,000 troops are charging together, and there is such a heavy reward, and the morale of the army is even better.
"It looks like these Turks are going to play for real." Zhang Jian's face changed slightly, obviously the change in the Turkic morale caught him off guard, but he quickly calmed down.
Now that the enemy army is about to rush to the fortifications, it is natural that they can no longer use bows and arrows to deal with it. These Turkic cavalry were fierce, but they were not unprepared.
Seeing the enemy killed, Zhang Jian's eyes flashed with a cold light, he had prepared good things for these Turkic cavalry. He suddenly ordered: "The army changes formation, let these Turkic cavalry in."
The army that was originally guarding the fortifications at the front received Zhang Jian's order to immediately release a gap from the tight defense, and a group of high-spirited Turkic cavalry rushed in.
The Khan has already given an order, and they will have a chance to be crowned king when they come to the enemy's ranks. But they didn't have time to be happy, but they found something unusual, and the eyes of the surrounding enemy troops were unusually strange.
The gap that had been opened suddenly closed, and the thousands of Turkic cavalry that rushed into the large array became lone at this moment. The enemy forces behind them had not yet arrived, and they were already surrounded by heavy surrounding.
It's all there is to it, but it's not that simple in the Great Array. These Turkic cavalry continued to charge, and suddenly a group of men and horses appeared in front of them, and directly took out the hook and sickle spear.
This group of soldiers was trained by Zhang Jian to cut off the horse's feet, which seemed to be of little use on weekdays, but this time it had a surprising effect.
A row of hooked scythes came, and the thousands of Turkic cavalry immediately fell one after another. Before they could react, many soldiers surrounded them, beat them randomly, and sent them back to the west directly.
Looking at this wave of smooth operation, Zhang Jian nodded with satisfaction, it is in vain that he has been training in Beiping for many years, and the effect of training is really good!
Looking at the Turkic cavalry with heavy casualties, Zhang Jian only felt a sense of beauty in his heart.
