Chapter 111: Bloody Battle on the Grassland IV
Lay out the pockets, sit and wait for the fish to take the bait, and before waiting for long, there was a sound of galloping horses, and the sentry lying on the hill called a signal, it was Tuli coming, and the people below were all in spirit.
Soon a group of Turks rode over in embarrassment, turned the hills, and suddenly found that they were waiting for a tight battle, densely packed with men and horses, with dense flags, and spears like a forest facing each other, and the people who ran in front were so frightened that they grabbed the war horses, and the ones behind did not know how to continue to move forward, although the horses were not fast, there were still many people who crashed into people and turned over on their backs.
Feng Daiwen raised his hand, and the cavalry on both sides quickly closed, all carrying crossbow arrows in their hands, aiming at the Turks.
"On the other side, the Tang Army? Is that the general here? A Turk on the opposite side shouted loudly in Datang dialect.
"Who is coming, Feng Daiwen, the general of the expedition to the west, is here!" Feng Daiwen rode forward a few steps and shouted loudly.
"General Feng, it's been a long time, it's me, Ashina Shi Boyi, Tuli." As if he had seen his relatives, the Tuli Khan rode out on horseback. After all, he has been fleeing for days, and he has always been terrified, for fear of being caught and killed by Jieli. It is said that the two are indeed acquaintances, familiar with each other, and they have been famous for a long time.
"Hehe, it turned out to be Khan, this is where you want to go!" Feng Daiwen said with a laugh.
Tuli's happy expression disappeared, and he said dejectedly: "Jieli Khan is cruel and unkind, and we are willing to take refuge in Datang." ”
"Khan wise, let your men lay down their weapons and dismount, after all, there are 50,000 pursuers coming soon." Feng Daiwen reminded.
The Turks had no choice but to take the lead in jumping off the warhorse, unsheathing the waist knife, holding it with both hands above their heads, and the other Turks also jumped off the horses and threw away their weapons.
"The pursuers are coming soon, please forgive the Khan, you can stand aside and watch, and wait for Ben to repel the pursuers and catch up with the Khan." Feng Daiwen asked people to pack up their weapons, and the war horses rushed to the side, so that the Turks gathered in a farther place, leaving 100 people with crossbow arrows to take care of them.
After waiting for half an hour, there was a violent vibration from afar, and the people who were resting on the spot quickly mounted their war horses and lined up in formation.
Chasing after Jieli's henchman Ashina Simo, with 50,000 cavalry all the way to chase and kill, because with 50,000 troops, he did not send a horse to explore, along the horseshoe prints around the hills, the Turkic strikers were also frightened by the scene in front of them, a burst of people turned over on their horses, and the Tang army rushed out like a tiger out of the gate.
The crossbow arrows in the hands of the Tang soldiers kept shooting, and the 10,000 forward Turks were almost defenseless covered by the crossbow arrows, and the cavalry did not care about the Turkic forwards, and they rode their horses and charged, rushed up the hills, and rushed down the slope to kill the Turks behind.
The Turks did not expect to be ambushed at all, and when they saw the enemy on the hill in front of them, they hurriedly turned to meet them.
Xi Junmai and other 5,000 people rushed down through the hills, but both sides did not have time to release their arrows, and soon they were short-handed.
The Turks were first taken aback, and then saw that there were only a few thousand, and they were frightened by a few thousand, so they rushed over in a rage.
As soon as the two sides engaged, Feng Daihuo on the right also killed, and the three of them with 5,000 men and horses were like three sharp swords against the Turks.
The Turks did not expect that there was an ambush, so they hurriedly divided their men and horses to intercept them, and the Turks were outnumbered and inseparably killed with the men and horses on both sides.
On the side, Qin Huaiyu saw that the two sides were anxious together, and rushed down the small hill with three thousand cavalry.
Feng Daiwen also bypassed the Turkic vanguard and rushed towards the battlefield, and Zhang Shanfeng and Li Zhengbao also killed from behind the Turks.
Chen Xiong took the shield crossbowmen to deal with the remnants of the Turkic forward, Chen Hu also joined the battlefield with two thousand pikemen, and when he saw the chaos of the battlefield, he had to choose a direction to break through, and he did not go deeper, only rushed to kill on the periphery, and many Turks did not notice that another team appeared, and they were stabbed off their horses by spears.
More than 70,000 people fought in the grassland, it was really a killing sound, resounding through the world, there were many Turkic people, the Tang Dynasty was well-equipped, it can be said that each had its own advantages, the Tang soldiers were wearing cotton clothes, woolen clothes, all wearing full-body rattan armor outside, wearing steel helmets, covering their faces with woolen masks, only two eyes, mouth and nose outside, not only the defense was amazing, but also the appearance was terrifying. What scared the Turks even more was that many Datang soldiers were shot off horseback, and quickly got up again, and continued to slash and kill, thinking that the Datang soldiers could not be killed.
The grassland people live a hard life, believe in the gods more, and like to push everything that cannot be understood on the gods and devils, and when they see the Tang people who can't be killed, they can't help but feel weak in their hands, but the steel knives in the hands of the Tang soldiers are not vegetarian, it can be said that the knife is bloody, and many times it is cut together with the Turkic scimitar, after all, the battlefield fighting is not like the military generals, and they can fight for a few rounds, often one move is called victory or defeat, so Feng Daiwen attaches great importance to weapons and equipment.
Feng Daiwen's side has Qin Huaiyu, Wei Chi Baolin, Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chubi, Zhang Shanfeng, Feng Daijin, Feng Daihuo, Xi Junmai, Li Zhengbao, Xin Hao'er, Chen Hu, 12 generals, with 12 teams of 1,000 people around the Turks to divide and kill.
The Turks themselves were not prepared for a surprise attack, and they were frightened by the Tang Dynasty rushing out of the team in all directions, and they didn't know how many people there were in the Tang Dynasty, but everyone felt that they were surrounded, and it seemed that all the Tang Dynasty were besieging and killing their own people, but they were desperate with a fierce spirit, and they did not rush for a while, which shows that the Turkic soldiers are indeed brave.
It's a pity that there are too many fierce people in Datang this time, and the weapons are really sharp, Cheng Chumo and others fought with the magic soldiers in their hands, slashing and killing wildly, just like cutting tofu without encountering a little resistance, a knife passed, the head fell to the ground, blood sprayed from the neck Lao Gao, many Turks on the opposite side were like earth, frightened, Xi Junmai killed people even more terrifying, in the melee he liked to jump off the horse to fight, a hammer in the past even the horse knocked down, hit the rise and jump a hammer, directly hit the human head, just like knocking watermelon, sometimes even the horse's head flew out, The Turkic soldiers who saw him kill people couldn't wait for their parents to have two more legs, and they fled for their lives, after all, it is one thing to die on the battlefield, and killing people like that is terrifying is challenging people's bottom line, and many Datang soldiers will subconsciously stay away from Xi Junmai.
Ashina Simo thought at first that there were only a few thousand Tang soldiers, and as soon as he ordered all the soldiers to be surrounded and killed, he was stunned by the Tang army that rushed out everywhere, and he had no choice but to take the people around him to kill in one direction, intending to break the encirclement and gather troops to use the tactics of the sea of people, after all, the Tang soldiers did not have as many as their own, as a veteran of the battlefield, this can still be seen.
People, luck is a very important thing, Ashina Simo has no luck, he found that Feng Daihuo was wearing full body armor, with him being the most eye-catching, he wanted to capture the king first, and rushed over with the people and horses.
