Chapter 70: Shooting Hu Yue (3)

Three hundred steps.... Two hundred steps.... One hundred and fifty steps....

"Shoot!"

The sound of breaking the sky in the dense drizzle sounded sharply, thousands of arrows formed a rain of arrows, and the black pressure was shot towards the rushing Hui cavalry, the standard assembly of the Tang cavalry was a long and short horizontal knife, a standard long lance, a bow, thirty arrows, and a round shield, and the cavalry led by Zhang Huan was the elite of the Hedong Army, they were equipped with the strongest bows, the sharpest knives, the strongest armor, and now they have the highest morale.

Although the enemy army was already in front of them, they were determined, and a rain of arrows shot towards the dense enemy formation, while the Hui cavalry was extremely flexible, they continued to disperse and concentrate, and from time to time dodged left and right on their horses, or raised round shields to reduce the damage of the Tang army's arrow formation, despite this, because the Tang army's arrow array was too dense, there were still a large number of Hui cavalry who fell from the arrow, or were overturned by the arrow-hit horses.

Fifty steps ....

The first wave of nearly 1,000 Hui cavalry had already rushed to fifty paces away, Zhang Huan raised his long knife and shouted: "The first team is on!" The wings are separated. ”

A Tang army of 1,200 people brushed the ground and leveled the long lance, the dense formation was like a solid piece of steel, the war horses slowly advanced, and more than 300 horsemen on each side gradually pulled apart, like two slender wings, outflanking the rear of the Hui cavalry.

The second team of Tang troops behind them still shot arrows, more calmly and accurately, and they had to use arrows to defeat the offensive of the Hui cavalry.

This is a professional army that does not need to be motivated, they have an iron will, they can gallop on the grassland for three days and three nights, he can stand quietly in a night of storms, their desire for military exploits is so strong, when the emperor of 300,000 enemy troops besieging them is about to cast a disgrace on the Tang Dynasty, they came, three thousand miles deep into the enemy territory, as if an incomparably sharp knife went straight to the heart of the enemy, he wanted to defend the dignity of the Tang Empire with blood and even his life.

The two armies finally met, and the dense rain in the sky was still gentle and slippery, as if it wanted to wash away the killing in the world and minimize the cruelty of war, but the cruelty of war could not be stopped by rain.

The second wave was a thousand Hui cavalry to cover up, the second team of the Tang army also immediately entered the battle, as long as a mile of battle, the two cavalry in a fierce battle of life and death, the cold sword light in the rain and fog flying, rain, sweat, blood mixed together, the palpitating screams are endless, the Tang army gathered into two phalanxes, as if the left and right two iron fists, again and again to impact the enemy's position, they ruthlessly and cruelly tore the enemy.

The two sides were equal in numbers, but the Tang army's weaponry and training were obviously stronger than the other side's, and the long lance was used to stab at a long distance, while the hand-to-hand combat was slashed with a horizontal knife.

In particular, the two flanks of the Tang Army, like two dense nets, constantly strangled the scattered enemy troops, and they suddenly concentrated in a line and slaughtered the enemy's backs from the rear in one go.

Attacking from the front and back, the formation of the Hui army was in great chaos, and there was already a momentum of imminent collapse........

"Kill!" A tall Tang soldier's eyes burst into flames, and the horizontal knife in his hand drew a roaring arc, slashing at the neck of a Hui officer like lightning, and the Hui officer did not show weakness, and raised his knife with a roar.

'Click! The strength of the Tang soldier's body seemed to be able to smash the mountain, and the knife of the Hui officer was actually cut alive, and the knife was still fierce and fierce, coldly slashing from the opponent's shoulder, and splitting a big head more than three feet away, the opponent's head was still open in the air, and the blood spurted out of the neck cavity, which provoked Tang Jun's face, he raised his head and laughed wildly, wiped his face, and sent all the sticky blood on his face into his mouth.

"Who's that?" Zhang Huan asked, pointing at the laughing soldier.

"His name is Li Hengqiu, he was originally a school captain, and he was demoted to a small soldier for running into Cui Shuai."

Zhang Huan nodded, and immediately ordered: "Go and tell him, I will promote him to a partial general now!" ”

......

On the city wall, Lu Ju Mo Dagan's face was extremely gloomy, he had already seen that the Hui cavalry was gradually at a disadvantage, but the eldest prince did not know whether he was alive or dead, it was his own carelessness, the original report that the Tang army only had more than 1,000 people, so he sent three times the strength of the enemy army to meet the battle, he thought that he would win, but the actual strength of the Tang army was nearly 3,000 people, and he was more brave and good at fighting.

His own army could no longer support it, and it would be too late if he didn't support it, so he immediately turned around and ordered: "Pass my order, and reserve 2,000 people into battle!" ”

"No, that's the last of our troops!" A Uighur governor jumped up and spoke out in disapproval.

Lu Ju Moda glared dryly, and shouted: "What if you don't go up?" Do you want the enemy to eat us one by one? And the Great Prince, you go and explain to the Khan! ”

The governor of Hui had nothing to say, he bowed his head hatefully, the city gate was wide open, and the last cavalry rushed out like an iron stream, killing the battlefield, Lu Ju Mo Dagan stared nervously into the distance, and the victory or defeat was decided here.

"General, the enemy's reinforcements are coming!" One of his own soldiers pointed to the cavalry galloping in the distance and shouted loudly.

Zhang Huan stared closely at the reinforcements, about 2,000 people, the enemy army was pouring out, the opportunity finally came, he immediately waved his hand and ordered:

"Retreat!"

The military order has been issued, no one asked why, the Tang army that was about to win turned around and withdrew from the battlefield together, ran north, and the pressure on the Hui army suddenly decreased, and when they saw the arrival of reinforcements, they couldn't help cheering loudly, and took advantage of the wind of victory to chase after the Tang army.

The battlefield quickly moved north, the two armies one after the other, gradually disappeared at the end of the grassland, the grassland was full of corpses, the rain was still in the mist, washing the blood on the ground, the noise disappeared, and the heaven and earth suddenly became silent.

There was no army in the city to protect it, but at this moment, the door of a mansion near the city gate suddenly opened, and three hundred murderous Tang warriors poured out of it, swords out of their sheaths, and rushed to the city wall.

...........

It has been ten miles away from Han'er eight miles, the fleeing Tang army suddenly stopped the whole team, they rearranged the formation, quickly recovered their combat strength, a mile away from them, more than 3,000 Hui cavalry were overwhelmingly killing, the Hui cavalry also took out their bows and arrows, ready to shoot the Tang army's cavalry formation.

"The front row is in a shield formation, and the back row is ready with bows and arrows!"

The formation of the Tang army changed rapidly, hundreds of soldiers raised their shields and formed a shield wall, while the soldiers behind them were full of bowstrings and ready to attack.

The bow and arrow of the Hui army came from the Turks, it is a composite bow made of wood and bone, it is also very sharp, in the previous battle because of the urgency to save people and did not use it, suffered a big loss, this time they no longer underestimate the enemy, rushed straight to a hundred steps away, both sides fired arrows together, the arrows in the sky were black and pressed by each other, clustered and strong, as if building an arch bridge made of arrows.

Thirty steps..... The drums of war sounded like thunder, and an earth-shattering roar suddenly erupted in the camp of the Tang army, and more than 2,000 warriors unleashed their last potential, formed a formation, and took the initiative to attack the enemy.

The young commander is stubborn and stubborn, and sweeps away the enemy with his sharp sword, the Tang army has been fighting for nearly two hours, the men are sleepy and the horses are lacking, and in the face of the enemy who has just entered the battle with two thousand horsemen, it is necessary to boost morale, if a conservative defense is taken at this time, morale and physical strength will be stagnant and exhausted, and the last battle will play a magical role in the death of well-trained professional soldiers.

'When the enemy is brave, often the first soldier', the courage of the main general to take the lead greatly encouraged the fighting spirit of the Tang army, they all forgot to die, hoarse, blood-red eyes, desperate to kill Hu Cai.

The bloodiness of the battle has reached an outrageous level, the click of the knife slashing human bones, the groaning of people, the terrible gurgling sound of the dying, one after another, the lance is broken and slashed with the knife, the knife is blunt and drawn with the bow, the hand is strangled and the teeth are bitten, and the human head is 'clicked! 'On the ground, the wailing still echoes; The horse stumbled, and the horsemen overturned, and he could no longer get up, and the horses ran through and were trampled like mud.

At this time, the commander of the Hui Hui Zuo Kill General also looked at Zhang Huan, he waved his hand, dozens of Hui Hui cavalry rushed up, slashing and chopping, Zhang Huan's own soldiers stepped forward to meet the battle together, but the Zuo Kill General quietly went to the back, suddenly accelerated to run, and slashed from behind him. Zhang Huan was slashing a Hui soldier to death, and suddenly heard a sharp wind behind his head, he didn't have time to think about it, he threw the knife out with his backhand, and at the same time rushed forward with his bow, and the knife he threw hindered the momentum of the enemy general, making his knife speed stagnate, so slow that Zhang Huan avoided the kiss of death, and the knife slashed on the hips of the war horse.

The war horse neighed miserably, the front hooves were raised high, and the two horses were staggered in parallel, at this moment, Zhang Huan roared, threw off the stirrup, flew to the enemy general's horse, grabbed his arm holding the knife with one hand, and pulled out a short knife with the other hand and stabbed him in the back.

In the contest of strength and courage, the short knife approached the enemy general's face inch by inch, and the faces of both of them were distorted, looking extremely hideous, and at this moment the god of death was close to both of them, and they were hesitating to choose the person they would take away.

The soldiers on both sides froze, and in the face of the commanders of the two armies who were fighting together, no one dared to act rashly.

In an instant, the vicissitudes of his previous life rushed into Zhang Huan's heart like a flood that burst the embankment, unstoppable, and the desire to kill was unscrupulously permeated in his heart, he suddenly showed a cruel smile, and in full view of everyone, the short knife slowly stabbed into the eyes of the enemy general.......

Hui Hui will let out a wolf-like howl, his hand is finally loosened, the steel knife is like a grain shelling and falling to the ground, Zhang Huan took advantage of the situation to put his restrained hand through the shoulder blade, and then put his hideous forehead on the saddle, and then pulled an arrow from his quiver, aimed at his forehead, and poked down one arrow after another, Hui Hui choked and fell off the horse and died tragically to the ground.

The Hui chief general was dead, and the Tang army violently erupted into cheers, and their morale was high, and the Hui army was killed and retreated.

At this moment, black smoke suddenly rose from the city of Han's ears and was successful! The three hundred strange soldiers finally played their role, and Zhang Huan couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh......

The heart of the Hui army began to waver, and in the wave after wave of almost crazy attacks of the Tang army, it finally retreated and fled in the direction of the city.

..........

Zhang Huan's voice was hoarse, and he raised his arms with all his strength and shouted, "Brothers, go into the city, and women and treasures are for you to enjoy." ”

"Kill!"

The Tang army was like a group of crazy tigers, roaring, showing sharp teeth and claws, murderous and swept towards Han'er Bali City with a *-like momentum.

In late May of the sixteenth year of Qingzhi, a Tang army rushed for 3,000 miles and broke through the capital of Hui, Han Erbali, in the heavy rain......
