Chapter 614: Arrogance
The hundreds of soldiers who committed the law were as white as the earth.
But he could only grit his teeth and pick up the shield and horizontal sword, there were 60,000 Turkic cavalry in front and 40,000 Sui troops in the back.
Xue Shixiong's subordinate general whispered, "General, there are many county soldiers and township warriors who temporarily recruited King Qin, they are not as good as the soldiers of Weifu, are they more lenient?" ”
It's just that Xue Shixiong didn't pay attention to it.
"How can Ben Shuai not know, but 60,000 Turkic light cavalry in front, even if we join forces with Luo Zhechong in the city, it is only the same strength, but in terms of strength, we are mixed in foot and horse, and there is no Turkic light cavalry strong. Especially this time, a few soldiers and horses, hurried over, there was no tacit understanding with cooperation, and there were so many county soldiers and townsmen, they were not as tough as the government soldiers, once they were afraid, they were only afraid that they would lose three points before they fought. ”
Xue Shixiong deliberately made trouble with those people, but it wasn't because he was cruel.
Tzu is not in charge of the army.
For these generals, who commanded tens of thousands of soldiers in World War I, if the command is not good, a defeat may be the end of the entire army, and tens of thousands of soldiers may be gone.
Therefore, human life is sometimes just a cold number on the battlefield.
Hundreds of soldiers who violated military regulations were driven to be killed in battle, these people were almost certain to die, but the death of hundreds of people could make this hastily assembled army of soldiers and horses better understand the cruelty of war, understand the strictness of military regulations, and whoever dares to panic and flee will die.
Horizontal is also death, and vertical is also death, so they can only hold on to the fight and maybe survive.
The other side.
Li Jing, Yang Yichen, and Dugu U were also patrolling the camp, and they did almost the same thing as Xue Shixiong.
Pull out some panickers and let them be trappers.
There are also some villagers who are too frightened and afraid of death, and after being pulled out, they shout, and they are directly cut off with a knife.
Those who dare to shake the hearts of the army have always been directly killed!
The four generals raised a battalion of about 1,000 dead soldiers.
Each person only has a round shield and a horizontal knife, and this preparation is itself like sending one to death.
"Beat the drums and cheer them off!"
The drums of war beat.
To the ears of the trapped soldiers, it sounded like a reminder.
Some of them trembled with their hands and feet, but some of their own soldiers behind them had already drawn their bows.
Afraid of the battle, he was executed on the spot.
A young man with a knife rushed towards the Turks like crazy, cursing loudly as he went, not knowing who he was scolding.
With him taking the lead, the rest of the people had to rush forward.
At this time, the two armies were about a mile or two apart.
These people started running, and soon they were running in a scattered manner.
The Turks on the opposite side charged at the thousand men of the Sui army, not paying attention, they were even pointing and laughing at each other.
When they finally came closer.
The Turks sat down on their horses and raised their bows lazily.
They did not fire a salvo, but deliberately brought people closer and slowly aimed for a direct shot.
One after another Sui soldiers fell on the way to the charge.
There were still twenty or thirty steps away from the Turks, but at this time there were no more than a hundred people left of more than a thousand people.
The Turks put away their bows.
A group of Turks galloped out on horseback, and they slammed into them with their swords, and cut off their heads.
More than 100 stragglers without the cover of the military formation, facing the Turkic light cavalry at close range, could only be sent to death.
In less than a moment, he was dead.
And these thousands of people were killed in battle, and from beginning to end, only a few dozen Turks were killed.
The Turks laughed proudly, and recklessly cut off the heads of the Sui army, stripped their armor, and seized their swords and shields.
And behind these Sui troops who died in battle were the 40,000 Sui troops who were silent.
Those who are trapped in the battle are dead and alive.
But thousands of people died like this, which is still too cruel.
Some young villagers even wanted to cry, but there was a precedent in front of them, so they could only hold back.
No one dares to talk to each other casually.
No one dared to look around.
They could only stand in the military formation like puppet clay figures, letting the wind blow and let the laughter of the Turks come.
Even if the heartbeat is pounding.
Even if your legs tremble.
I didn't dare to show it in the slightest.
I didn't dare to say anything else.
More than 1,000 corpses made this patchwork of 40,000 soldiers of the Qinwang Army extremely depressed.
In this repression, it is either an outburst or a death.
The Turks easily killed thousands of Sui troops, but they injured a dozen unlucky guys, and they became more and more arrogant.
Even Liversh wasn't as worried and nervous as he had been.
In his opinion, the generals of the Sui army were too stupid, how could there be a reason to send thousands of people to kill them before the war started?
But he forgot that the Sui army did not do this for the first time, but often did it, and the bigger the battle, the more this hand would not be missed.
Back then, Yang Su's 25,000 cavalry attacked the first 100,000 Turkic cavalry, and before the decisive battle, he also came back like this.
The silver wolf is down.
Ashina Lifushi no longer took the 40,000 people who came to help in his eyes, he only transferred about 20,000 people from the left wing to rush and kill these weak chicken Sui people, and then focused on Luo Siye who came out of the city.
He sent 20,000 cavalry to fight against Luo Siye, and led 20,000 Chinese troops to the battle, ready to find an opportunity to kill Luo Siye at any time, and killed this Mo sword general in one fell swoop.
The Turkic light cavalry slowly began to accelerate, and they lined up in a long horizontal formation.
This formation fully illustrates their disdain for the Sui army, otherwise they would have lined up in a more impactful array.
"Steady!"
In front of the Sui army.
The shouts of the captains and team leaders came and went.
A square chariot formation of two or three hundred men was engrossed in preparing for battle, waiting to meet the cavalry onslaught of the Turks.
Generals Xue Shixiong and Li Jing also returned to the rear.
They didn't have to charge at the front, they just had to stay in their rear command positions and hold their flags.
The Turkic cavalry galloped in 10,000 horses.
"Raise your shield!"
The officers shouted again.
Experienced officers already knew that the Turkic cavalry would soon come from their galloping horses and send out a salvo of arrows, and the blow of a salvo of ten thousand arrows was quite sharp.
Fortunately, the Sui army also came prepared.
One by one, the soldiers hurriedly raised their shields, the heavy infantry raised their tower shields, which were two meters high, and the sword players raised their round shields above their heads, and the men crouched down as much as possible to reduce the exposed area.
The cavalrymen also raised their shields.
The archers took out their shields and put them in front of them, half of their bodies shrunk underneath.
The next moment.
A shrill whistling sound had broken through the air.
A rain of arrows tore through the air and fell with a scream.
The clanging bell rang non-stop, and the shield blocked a large number of arrows, but the arrows were still pervasive, and from time to time Sui soldiers were hit by arrows.
But even if he was hit by an arrow, he could only grit his teeth and hold on.
If you dare to shout, you will most likely be cut off by the deputy of the team, and you will be punished for the crime of shaking the morale of the army.
