Chapter 161: Lots of Means

"Despicable, shameless!"

Jieli's heart was dripping with blood, and he could accept the sacrifice of 30,000 people, but Duolun's sacrifice made Jieli heartbroken! Duolun is not only his most loyal subordinate, but also one of the most formidable generals, and his sacrifice will deprive Jieli of a weapon to deter the crowd!

"Brother Duolun lived up to the name of the Turkic warriors, and he and his people used their lives to fill a flat road for us to take the enemy chieftain. The second column pressed up and won by crushing it with the superiority of troops and cavalry! I don't believe that the Tang Army has endless arrows! Ladies and gentlemen, we must kill Luo Tong here today! If this person is not removed, he will one day become a great trouble in the hearts of my Turks. ”

Luo Tong's performance gave Jieli a feeling of extreme unease.

The surrounding khan chieftains nodded sympathetically one by one, and ordered without hesitation. The battle was like this, and they already had the idea of having trouble sleeping.

Jie Lilema turned around, pressed the golden knife in his hand to the void in the south, and shouted: "Daxu herald, the second team will attack!" ”

In an instant, there was an overwhelming shout on the wasteland, and 30,000 elite horsemen slaughtered the unwavering Tang army formation!

Luo Tong squinted, this time the Turkic cavalry that took the lead in attacking was actually divided into three parts, and their offensive lineup was very loose and not dense at all.

Luo Tong sighed with emotion: "After suffering a big loss, Jieli has learned well!" ”

The Turks can dominate the steppe and become the henchmen of the Tang Dynasty, which is indeed not an easy generation. The crossbow array of the Tang army had just brought them a devastating blow, so they scattered the cavalry lineup in view of the lethality of the crossbow array, so as to reduce the power of the opponent's strong crossbow shots, and used the left and right flanks as the attack points to attack the weak points of the Tang army from the side, and used the impact of the cavalry to break down the Tang army again and again like a shock wave.

"Squat! Shoot! ”

Orders to attack were issued one after another, and powerful crossbow bolts flew through the air. Dense like raindrops pounced on the Turkic cavalry.

But because the other party had already taken precautions, the last situation did not happen again.

Although the powerful crossbow arrows took the lives of nearly a thousand Turks in one round, it did not hinder their attack.

In the face of the Tang Dynasty's crossbows, the Turks completely gave up their advantage of riding arrows this time, and slaughtered the Tang army in one go, using casualties in exchange for close opportunities.

The Turks used this trick very well, but Luo Tong did not give up the advantages created by the strong crossbow for them, and used the method of stacked fire to shoot at the Turkic cavalry that was constantly approaching. Under the continuous stacking of crossbowmen, the Turks paid a price of nearly 3,000 casualties in a short range of 300 meters.

Had it not been for the Turks who had learned the lessons of the previous battle and broken up their formation, their price would have been even more terrible. After all, this battle was a large-scale head-to-head duel, and the Tang Army's strong crossbowmen numbered more than 10,000 people.

Jieli's heart is dripping with blood, and his thoughts are very ruthless and naΓ―ve, but the reality is very cruel to him. It was thought that by spreading out the soldiers, the casualties could be greatly reduced......

But it turned out that the Tang army's method of stacking fire was able to deal with such a problem on its own, and they scattered out, at best, to reduce some casualties.

His eyes gradually sharpened......

"Even if it's a turtle! Today, Lao Tzu will also break the turtle shell! ”

That's what Jieli thinks! Without hesitation, the third column of 40,000 people was thrown into the battlefield! As far as the eye could see, it was found that the Tang army had put away their crossbow arrows...... A confident smile finally appeared on his serious face.

As long as the two armies officially collided on the battlefield, the Tang Army would be annihilated under the charge of the cavalry.

But just when the Turkic cavalry stepped into the 200-step range and was about to enter the 150-step range, Jie Li was stunned to find that the strong crossbowmen of the Tang Army had no professional ethics and turned around and ran!

Yes, the strong crossbowmen of the Tang Army, who were in the front formation, divided into four columns, ran away!

They ran, revealing the antlers behind them!

The cunning Tang soldiers actually hid a dense array of anti-antler formations behind the strong crossbowmen......

Jieli was dumbfounded! Rao is that he is well-informed, but today he is also made to blow up by Luo Tong's methods!

As we all know, the reason why cavalry is terrifying and called the king of land warfare is undoubtedly because of its powerful impact and flexible mobility. One of the secrets of cavalry victory is to use the force of impact to tear apart the formation of the place, disrupt the opponent's deployment, and use flexibility to find the weak points of the place.

On the contrary, if you want to ride on foot, you must first limit the impact and mobility of the cavalry.

It's a one-sentence thing, but it's hard to do.

The weakness of the cavalry is there, as long as you understand it a little, you can know it, but there are very few who really do it with foot. This is also the main reason why cavalry has been able to dominate the world for thousands of years and dominate the cold weapon period.

Is the impact of the Turkic cavalry terrible?

Terrible!

Under normal circumstances, the foot soldiers of the Tang army can stop the Turkic cavalry?

Unstoppable!

But Mo Knife Hand can!

However, there are also sacrifices!

Mo sword soldiers can defeat cavalry, but not all Mo sword soldiers can deal with cavalry.

This Modao soldier who wants to resist the impact of the cavalry must first have the courage to be fearless of life and death, especially the soldiers who stand at the forefront, and in the face of the oncoming cavalry, they must not be timid. It is necessary to strengthen one's defense line with firm willpower, to have the determination not to move one's feet even if it is dead, and to see oneself as a wall. Only in this way can the cavalry's powerful impact force like a huge wave be stopped.

Without this determination, even the Modao soldiers would not be able to resist the impact of the cavalry.

Now that he has dug the trap, Luo Tong will naturally not be stupid enough to face the powerful impact with the Mo knife hand.

In response to this, Luo Tong made a special arrangement!

The five rows of antlers are buried deep in the ground with their feet on top of their feet, forming a line of defense like hedgehogs, full of thorns, making people nowhere to put their mouths.

In just a few breaths, the Turkic cavalry wedged into the antlers in waves.

In the splatters of blood, the horses slammed into the spikes that stretched out, and under the terrifying force, the spikes of the antlers pierced through the neck of the horse, all the way into the body, and finally through the back of the horse, and then into the chest of the knight.

The Antlers Formation resisted the might of the Turkic cavalry!

The Turkic cavalry did not break the Antlers Formation, and the lifeless Antlers successfully resisted the cavalry's assault.

All this was expected by Luo Tong.

The most powerful charges of the Turkic cavalry had been neutralized by the incomparably powerful crossbow arrows, and the haphazard bows and arrows had disrupted the assault formation, and the impact of the cavalry, which had only accelerated within a hundred paces, could not shake the specially reinforced anti-antler formation.

As the number of Turkic casualties grew, the impact of the cavalry became weaker and weaker, and they gradually lost their due advantage. The Turkic cavalry, which had lost the two advantages of impact and cavalry archery, was it still the opponent of the Tang Army?

There is no need to calculate, the Mo Dao hand behind the Antler Rejection Array led by Fang Yiai announced the result with practical actions.

"Hack!" With Luo Tong's order, the warrior who had been holding back for a long time took a step forward at the same time, and with the Mo knife in his hand, he fiercely cut down the enemy in front of him.

As the most ferocious Mo knives of ancient cold weapons, they revealed their hideous appearance at this moment.

The knife rises and falls, and everyone is broken!

"It's so ruthless!"

Jieli was a little dumbfounded, and the Turkic Khans behind Jieli also had a chill down his spine.

They had heard that Luo Tong had created a Modao formation that specialized in restraining cavalry, but they had not really seen the power of Modao, and had only heard some clues from the very few remnants of the Turkic army. But the huge gap between what you hear and what you see makes all the fierce grassland peoples can't help but be frightened...... All along, the people of the Central Plains have been sheep in their eyes...... You can bully at will, and play with it as you like.

All the powerful princes in the Central Plains have to rely on their snort to survive, and if they don't give them generous gifts, they won't survive. It was only in recent years that they discovered that the sheep had gradually become wolves, and they knew how to resist and know how to resist......

Today, they have a feeling that their sworn enemies, the Central Plains, have turned from sheep to wolves at the beginning, and have transformed into tigers.

"Mo knife hand, crush Lao Tzu!" Luo Tong excitedly gave the order to advance.

Mo knife crossed a beautiful arc in the air, with a loud "......bang", the knife and the knight on the horse came into close contact, the invincible power directly pressed the knight's body, the blade broke his stomach, the power did not weaken at all, and continued to chop on the horse's back.

The brave man directly killed the people and horses to the ground. In the series of swings of the warriors, the Mo knife cut off the Turkic army from their horses like mowing grass, and the blood splashed on the snow-white land, staining the land red.

Broken apart.

It's still all in pieces!

The Mo knife hand advanced step by step like a wall and a mountain, and the Turkic cavalry, which had lost its impact, was unable to resist, and was forced to retreat step by step, huddled together with the colleagues who rushed behind. So much so that it can't exert its power at all.

"The Mo Knife Man continues to advance, and the archers shoot from the front! Crossbowmen are divided into two teams and shoot in a series on the left and right flanks of the enemy! The pikemen follow the Mo knife hand to kill the fish that slip through the net, and the knife is responsible for protecting the crossbowman! The whole army killed Lao Tzu with the momentum of an arrow. ”

Luo Tong, the commander-in-chief, is getting more and more feeling! He gave the order with a straight face.

Under the cover of the archers, the Mo swordsman advanced step by step!

The 10,000 crossbowmen were divided into two teams, each divided into three groups, and fired at the left and right cavalry who intended to break away from the large army in a series of stacked shots.

A team of crossbowmen finished firing, and the team filled with arrows immediately stepped forward to shoot.

At this time, the casualties of the Turkic cavalry were even greater, because the cavalry at this time had lost speed, and the cavalry on the left and right flanks took the time to turn to the start, which happened to be the target of the crossbow arrows.

The accuracy and power of crossbow arrows have increased exponentially.

Therefore, in the face of such a terrible attack, the Turkic soldiers, who did not have time to divide the left and right flanks, were only driven by crossbow arrows to move closer to the central area where arrows were sparse, and they were unable to divide their troops at all, but were suppressed by the crossbows and bumped into each other, trampling each other and huddled together.
