Chapter 171: Another Knife

Bows and arrows, ruthlessly slaughtering the lives of the soldiers of the Jieli Division, a sharp blade falling from the sky, so that the soldiers on the battlefield have nowhere to hide, and the animal skin clothes on their bodies are simply impossible to resist such an attack, and even the Mingguang armor on the Tang army is also impossible to block such an attack.

There were 5,000 cavalry on each side, moving sideways at a distance of about 100 paces, and the bows and arrows in their hands were thrown into the sky one by one.

He ...... How could their bow shoot so far? After some fiddling, the old man who had just woken up happened to see this scene, and said with a puzzled face full of disbelief, and then his eyes were dark again, and the whole person fainted to the ground again.

"Rush, rush out and melee with them!" Jieli Khan gritted his teeth angrily, forcibly forced himself to calm down, and with a wave of his big hand, the scimitar in his hand pointed straight to the side.

Jieli Khan, who has also fought for many years, if he hadn't seen all this with his own eyes, he still can't believe that this is true.

The range of cavalry bows and arrows is not as good as that of infantry bows and arrows, and the accuracy and power are far inferior to infantry bows and arrows, which is the most basic common sense, but the Tang army on the opposite side seems to have broken this common sense.

Jieli Khan knew very well in his heart that if his troops did not rush out to engage the enemy in close combat, then the 10,000 Tang cavalry would consume them little by little.

I couldn't help but shudder, and an inexplicable sense of fear emanated from my heart.

With an order, Jieli divided the left and right sides of the army with about six or seven thousand troops, and quickly rushed towards the Tang cavalry on both sides, as long as they could get close to the Tang cavalry, their bows and arrows could not pose any threat to themselves.

Seeing Jieli Khan make corresponding moves, the corners of Su Dingfang's mouth rose slightly, revealing a weird smile.

"Take them around in circles!" Su Dingfang, who was already familiar with the road, stretched his bow and pulled arrows, contributing his own strength to the arrow rain array of Nuoda, and commanded the heralds beside him.

Without saying a word, the herald immediately lifted the horn of the ox tied to his right hand, and put it to his mouth to blow violently.

The cavalry, which seems to be chaotic and has no formation, actually has a formation, but this formation is looser than the infantry formation.

The horn sounded, and the soldiers who ran at the front quickly adjusted the direction of their horses, these soldiers had the strongest sense of direction, and they would be responsible for leading the direction of the entire horse formation.

The importance of the leader is self-evident, they not only lead the army to open up a new battlefield, but also carefully consider the surrounding environment to avoid the army rushing into the enemy's formation, but also to find a suitable place to avoid being ambushed by the enemy.

……

"Ran away? Tang Jun just ran away? Yi Nan looked at the 10,000 Tang Army cavalry who turned around and ran away in shock, this scene made Yi Nan feel that his three views seemed to be gone.

Is this still the heroic and warlike Tang Army? Don't even have the courage to engage the enemy in hand-to-hand combat?

"Run? Hehe! Have you ever seen a battle where the cavalry ran away and the infantry was still pushing upwards? Wei Dao smiled coldly and mocked.

Yi Nan's scheming made him feel very disgusted, and it also made Wei Dao realize that Yi Nan was not a good person, he was a master who took advantage of everything, but refused to suffer, and this battle has dragged on until now, isn't it to wait for the battlefield to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages before making a move? In this way, his own tribal losses could be minimized, and then he would unify the steppes in a war and become a true khan.

Although he knew that he was satirizing himself, Yi Nan felt that it didn't matter, what could he do if he was sarcastic? His strength is still there, and he is still the king of this place.

However, under Wei Dao's reminder, Yi Nan calmed down even more, and he didn't have a lot of effort, and he really let himself see a little tired.

There is no reason why some of the troops will advance upwards and some will run away, and it is impossible for the Tang Army, which has strict military discipline, to have such a situation.

"King Qi really uses soldiers like a god, admire! Admire! Seeing the greasy Yi Nan, Rao has never really surrendered to the Tang Dynasty in his heart, and at this moment he also sincerely admires Li Yuanji's use of soldiers.

But what I admire even more is the kind of bow and arrow in Tang Jun's hand, the range is unbelievable that it has such a great power at a distance of 100 paces.

"Khan ordered you to lead your troops to attack the infantry of the Tang Army!" The good times did not last long, and Jieli Khan sent heralds.

As the Yi Nan Department who surrendered to the Jieli Department, he really didn't plan to use it at the beginning, but Jieli Khan believed the old man's words, and wanted to rule the entire grassland with benevolence, kindness and majesty, so that the entire grassland would believe in himself and respect himself.

If he hadn't listened to the old man's words, Jieli would have pushed down the first line of these attached tribes to be cannon fodder for the first time.

But now the situation is different, Jieli has no time to take care of other aspects, and once the Tang infantry approaches, the whole battle situation will be really irreversible, so he can only let Yi Nan and other nearly 50,000 people to drag the Tang army to reduce the pressure on the headquarters.

"Now, you don't have a choice!" In front of the herald, Wei Dao spoke again.

Yi Nan glanced at Wei Dao with disdain, to be honest, he also hated this guy who was always urging him, but for the sake of the royal power of the grassland, Yi Nan had to endure it for the time being.

"Ben Khan knows!" Yi Nan glanced at his own soldiers.

With his sword in hand, the unsuspecting herald was instantly cut off his horse, and his head made a parabola, which sprayed the ground with thick blood, dyeing the ground red with black mud in the snow.

"Order, tie the black cloth around your neck and attack the Jieli headquarters!" Yi Nan first took out a piece of black cloth from his clothes and tied it around his neck, and then commanded his subordinates.

The black cloth that had already been distributed to the hands of individuals quickly came in handy, and the 50,000 cavalry instantly pressed a whole piece of black press.

Coupled with his own 50,000 cavalry, a total of 200,000 troops, and the 100,000 troops attacking the Jieli headquarters, such a huge numerical advantage, the advantage was already gradually dissipating in the Jieli headquarters, and this battle would never be won no matter what.

Yi Nan doesn't have to wait any longer, the outcome has been decided, and his 50,000 people will become a surprise soldier, winning by surprise, and becoming the last straw that completely defeats Jieli.

……

About 15,000 cavalry were led away by the Tang cavalry, so that the strength advantage of Jieli and Tuli was gradually dissipating, and the Tang infantry was pressing forward step by step, causing huge pressure on Jieli, and his subordinates had to be distracted to pay attention to the dynamics of the Tang infantry, on the one hand, they also had to care about whether Jieli Khan had given the order to retreat.

At this point, there is basically no hope of success, and the only suspense left now is how many more people can they run out?

"Khan...... See ......"

With the roar of his own soldiers, Jieli Khan subconsciously turned his head, and the whole person almost fell off his horse.

"Bastard, what are you doing?" Yi Nan, who was supposed to move to both sides and bypass the battlefield to attack the infantry of the Tang Army, rushed straight towards his own formation at this moment, Jieli Khan was trembling with anger, but he was helpless, he could only roar angrily and curse angrily.

"Black Cloth...... Khan, black cloth ......" The pro-soldier looked a little flustered and pointed to the black cloth around the neck of the Yi Nan Division.

Only then did Jieli notice the strangeness of the Yi Nan Division, and then turned his head to see that the neck of the Tuli Department was also tied with a black cloth, if it wasn't for a big heart, Jieli really wanted to be like the old man with black eyes, and it would be better to faint to death.

"It's the other way around...... Yi Nanbu also reversed...... Khan, what to do? The soldier asked in a panic, unable to even lift the weapon in his hand.

The successive rebellions, the original advantage, now became the fatal factor that overwhelmed them, Jieli Khan didn't understand why it became like this, he didn't understand, how did Li Yuanji persuade Tuli and Yi Nan, and why did they unite with the Tang army to attack themselves?

Jieli Khan suddenly felt so tired, and he didn't understand why so many things were happening to him at the same time. Is it really heaven that is going to kill me?

"Withdraw!" As if he had been drained of all his strength, Jieli had realized that defeat was inevitable, and it was meaningless to fight any longer, and he would even break his foundation, so he gave an order to the soldiers around him weakly.

The sudden rebellion of the Yi Nanbu not only caught Jieli off guard, but even Tuli, who was attacking frantically, was frightened.

Li Daozong, Zhang Gongjin and Li Jing, who were still waiting for the Turks to attack, were also shocked.

Tuli's surrender may not be a surprise, it seems to be a very normal thing, and there have been some signs of it long before.

But why did Yi Nan suddenly rebel? Also, is it really Li Yuanji who did these things alone?

Li Jing's heart couldn't help but be a little flustered, but he didn't have time to think about it.

The army had already approached the Jieli headquarters, and the Tuli division had already moved away from the frontal battlefield and began to move to the flanks to attack, leaving the frontal meat grinder to the Tang infantry to complete.

Shields, bows and arrows, spears, horizontal knives, four kinds of equipment, the saw-shaped array is like a sharp knife, directly stabbed in the front of the Jieli Department, the wound is not deep, but it quickly crushes the flesh that pierced in, like a sawtooth cutting wood, one by one, is gradually knocking down a towering tree.

Some exhausted Turkic cavalry could not resist such an offensive at all, and could only resist with bows and arrows in a haphazard manner, but the well-equipped Tang army, with a large number of shields as cover, the attack of bows and arrows achieved only a negligible effect.

"Heaven is going to kill me...... Hahaha...... The sky is going to die, I ......" was surrounded on all sides, the infantry of the Tang Army had already pasted up, and the soldiers fell faster than before, just like the Han people cutting wheat, and it was a large piece at once, and Jieli roared to the sky with tears in his eyes, unwilling, helpless, and angry! But so what?

"Great Khan...... Reinforcements...... Reinforcements are coming......"
