When he went to Dunhuang, Yang Shuang did not want to remember the past, but prepared to plant a flag.

Liangzhou lost most of it, and a Sui army suddenly appeared behind the battlefield, and the Turks must have some suspicions.

And Dunhuang is a city and a county, and the Great Sui battle flag is planted here, which is enough to take on the important task of attracting firepower.

No matter what the Turks think, Yang Shuang just wants to show that we are the defenders of Dunhuang!

In mid-September, autumn is crisp.

The war horse that has been cultivated for several months is fat and strong.

The breed that went out with the army this time was not the Western Regions horse that lost a lot of money in the horse, but the steppe horse that was snatched back from the Turks!

Compared with the former, they are short in stature and not good-looking, however, in the wind, frost, snow and rain of the steppe, they have honed their majestic horse nature, with a large head and short neck, a strong physique, a wide chest and a long mane, thick skin and thick hair, which can not only resist the Siberian blizzard, but also raise their hooves to kick the head of the fox.

Good horse!

This should be the predecessor of the Mongolian horse, a natural military class!

"Big brother, how do I think, these war horses are a bit weird!" In order to attract the Turks, Niu Er and others were collecting cow dung and dry grass to prepare for the burning of wolf smoke. Shi Da was idle and bored, looking left and right in the herd, his face full of doubts.

"What's weird?"

"They're a little big with their bellies!"

"It may be that they are well fed, after all, the grass and trees by the Styx River are vigorous, and for them, it can be called a feast!"

"That's not right! Big brother, you see, those stallions that run fast and eat a lot are not as big as mares! ”

Yang Shuang was stunned and turned his head to look.

Sure enough, the big-bellied war horses are all mothers!

What the heck?

Poisoned?

Suddenly, Yang Shuang remembered that some time ago, the third baby told him an inconsequential thing.

There are many war horses, pregnant!

As for the initiator, who else could there be but the donkey?

Uncle's!

Could it be that Yumen Pass is about to add a batch of hard-working mules?

Yang Shuang couldn't cry or laugh, and was about to order the two soldiers to send the pregnant horse back to the Stygian Water Ranch, when a series of horses' hooves suddenly sounded on the east side of the city.

Looking up, at the foot of Mingsha Mountain, two teams of cavalry chased each other at a fast speed.

There were only five people in front, and in the rear, there was a whole team of hundreds.

"This is, our sentinels have encountered a Turkic control patrol!" Yang Shuang was overjoyed and shouted: "Archers, ambush at the east gate!" ”

The flag has not been planted, the wolf smoke has not been lit, Dunhuang City is no different from the previous except for the hidden soldiers behind the wall, and there is no need to worry about the Turks suspecting that there is something strange in the city.

Using a special reflector, he quietly conveyed the order to enter the city to the sentinels, and Yang Shuang led the war horse to the north gate with two hundred sword and shield soldiers.

After the archers and pikemen have crushed the hundred-man team, he will strangle them from the periphery to prevent any fish from slipping through the net!

"Boom ······"

The sentry performance was in place, and the panicked and frightened faces excited the hundred Turkic knights.

This group of barbarians did not know that the time of death was approaching, and their mouths roared again and again, and in the blink of an eye, they were under the city.

"Put !!"

Shi Da is not a military idiot, although he is afraid of the dark and occasionally commits two crimes, but he is definitely a natural good hand when he commands troops.

Estimating the distance between the two sides, looking at the right time, an order, and a hundred feathered arrows fell from the sky.

Then, without waiting for the Turks to react, the pikemen who were hiding behind the horses in the city swarmed out.

Yang Shuang discussed with Wu Kun the Macedonian phalanx and the Roman phalanx, hoping to study a killer plan against the Turks.

It's a pity that there is too much difference between the military of the East and the West, no matter how famous these two phalanxes are, they are completely hung and beaten in the Eastern Battlefield.

Not that they're rubbish, it's because of tactics.

Unless there are a hundredfold or a thousandfold increase in troops, the Turks will not play a frontal charge at all!

It's a ride-and-shoot hanging!

Use cheap feather arrows to consume the enemy's living force, and then attack in one fell swoop!

This is also the reason why the Central Plains Dynasty, the heavy cavalry that has been painstakingly built, will be like a comet, fleeting in the blink of an eye.

Martial arts in the world are only fast and unbreakable, and the same is true for tactics.

Therefore, although the pikemen had a formation, it was not a famous phalanx, but a five-person cooperation, with cavalry on the top and stabbing the horse's belly below, not for the purpose of killing the enemy, but to prevent the Turks from entering the city, and try to form a natural line of defense with horse corpses!

"There is an ambush! Retreat!!! ”

The Turkic centurion reacted extremely quickly, and did not wait for all the vanguard troops to pour into the city, but took the lead in turning the horse's head and forcibly stopped the momentum in front of the city gate.

The knights who saw the flag order in the rear were not bad, they pulled the reins one after another, and stood up like a precipice, turned around, clamped the horse's belly, and patted the horse and galloped.

"Put!"

"Put !!"

The rate of fire of the archer is N times faster than that of the crossbowmen, and in just a few seconds, four or five waves of feathered arrows have been sprinkled.

"Whoosh ······"

"Puff ······"

Turkic warriors have armor!

At the beginning of the battle with Rahu, Yang Shuang found that the equipment of his group was even better than that of the regular army of the Great Sui!

It's a pity that this group of Turkic knights doesn't have that kind of treatment, some are just leather armor!

Even, because of the heat, some people hung their armor shields behind the buttocks of their war horses.

Suddenly encountered a bow and arrow attack, no one had time to defend it, and a third fell on the spot.

After rushing into the city gate, he was stopped by pikemen, and when he turned back, he encountered another rain of arrows, and more than half of the dead and wounded were already killed.

"Kill !!"

Yang Shuang, who ran out of the north gate and walked around the city wall, saw more than fifty Turkic cavalry retreating, brandished his war knife and charged directly.

"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw! Don't dwell on it! The news of the Great Khan Dunhuang must be informed! ”

The Turkic centurions, who had originally evacuated to the north, saw that someone was blocking the way, so he chose to change direction again and pat his horse to the east.

"Roar!!

It's a pity that before the knight could make the same move, there was a tiger roar in the team rushing from the north!

The frightened war horses neighed again and again, and if there were no knights to suppress them, they would definitely scatter in a hurry!

However, the situation is not much better now.

Prairie horses may not be afraid of wolves, but in the face of tiger roars, their legs are instantly weak.

"Bang Bang ·····"

Several unsuspecting Turkic knights immediately fell to the ground.

"Kill !!"

No matter how much the war horse is broken, it can't carry the five-hundred-pound wolf-headed giant shield, so Yang Shuang only has a war knife in his hand.

But in this way, whether it is the knife momentum or the slashing power, it is far better than before.

What's more, there is also the blessing of the war horse charge!

"Bang ·····"

The five-foot sword met the two barbarians, smashing them along with the sword and shield.

castration is unabated, shaves the horse's head, spills blood, and continues to kill the next one.

Yang Shuang's goal is very clear, kill the leader!

"Tyrannical Tiger Feng He !!"

The sword and shield soldiers who followed the charge in the rear were equally brilliant.

When I heard that the boss was going to be enlarged, I suddenly became arrogant.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!! ”

"Whoosh ·····"

One man and one rider flew into the leading Turkic horseman, and quickly disappeared into the eastern sky.

··········

The cold is a bit serious in the past two days, and the code word is a little overwhelmed, and two bottles of drip will be hung tomorrow, and it is estimated that it will be able to resume the update, and I hope you will bear with me.
