Chapter 482: Go to War

"Whoosh whoosh...."

With a few rapid wind-breaking sounds and muffled snorts, several figures standing on a high place quickly fell from above, which were the bodies of several guards at the entrance of Snake Valley, but they were originally guards, but at this time, none of them were shot and killed.

"My lord, the eyes at the door have been solved, you can see if you can attack."

"Okay, pass the order, Nuleba is the vanguard, lead the army to break into the Snake Valley, open the way for the army, and the rest of the teams, attack in order, remember, don't take prisoners in this battle, this time, I must kill all these damn dogs, avenge the dead people, and at the same time warn those tribes who have bad intentions towards my Turks, let them know what the price of offending our Turks is."

Ashide Yuanzhen, who got the news, said with a cold smile on his face.

"Hahaha, brothers, Lord Yuanzhen has just sent the news, this attack on Snake Valley, with our thousand-man team as the vanguard, the time has come for you to get the credit, Immortal Heaven, long live."

With the order issued, as the vanguard of Nulba was very proud, for the Turkic army, not like the Central Plains army has military pay or other benefits, corresponding to the benefits, completely rely on their own ability to rob, or use the enemy's head in exchange, which is why in every major war, the steppe tribes are not afraid of death, and why in every major war or after the city is breached, there will be a large-scale robbery.

As the vanguard of this attack on Snake Valley, as long as he can successfully win Snake Valley, then Nulba will become the first merit of this battle, and with this huge merit, it is also very possible to be promoted from a thousand commanders to ten thousand commanders.

"Boom, boom......"

Ten thousand horses galloping, although because of the wet ground, the speed of the war horse gallop is not fast, but this indomitable momentum is still daunting.

"It is worthy of being the overlord of the rampant steppe, a team of partial divisions actually has such momentum, it can be imagined that under the gallop of hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops, I am afraid that anything that stands in front of them will be turned into juice powder, no wonder ......"

Standing on a high place, looking at the galloping Turkic army, Duan Jian sighed.

"Hmph, how powerful, don't understand the sky, don't know the current affairs, you can't avoid the fate of failure, I heard that the leader of the troops this time is Ashid Yuanzhen, who is above 10,000 people under the Turkic one, this person is called the Turkic talent who has not been born in the Turks for a hundred years, and all the Turkic soldiers and horses are under his control, I don't know if he is here tonight, what will the Turkic Khan of Ashina Guduolu think, whether to immediately lead the army south, or die in a hurry?"

The person who spoke was none other than Yan Ming, in order to completely wipe out the Turkic army led by Ashid Yuanzhen, Duan Jian had been similar to all the methods for a while, made all kinds of preparations, not only thought of various strategies, but also formulated various means, for which he also specially sent people to the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate in Xi'an City, and allocated a batch of things.

And Yan Ming was the one who escorted this batch of supplies.

Hearing Yan Ming's yin words, Duan Jian and Zhou Dao were speechless for a while.

"You, this mouth is really damaged, if you really hear your words, even if you don't get angry, I'm afraid you will be told to die, but what you said is good, then Ashde Yuanzhen is indeed Ashina Guduolu's henchman, if he dies here, I'm afraid that the battle of Lushan City will have a great change."

"Forget it, it's not like it, there is wine today and drunk today, and tomorrow's affairs will be handled tomorrow, so it's better to fight tonight's battle, otherwise even tonight's battle will fail, don't talk about anything else."

Duan Jian shook his head and said.

"Ahh Yes...... Ahh

"Phew, hoo, hoo........"

"What's going on, why do so many people fall off their horses, it's because they have been attacked."

Seeing that he was about to reach the entrance of the Snake Valley, thinking of rushing into the Snake Valley, flying with scimitars, chopping melons and vegetables, and sweeping the enemy's army, Nuleba was so excited that he saw his subordinates, when they were about to rush to the entrance of the Snake Valley, they fell under their horses one after another.

At first, Nulba thought he had been attacked, but soon he found that there was no attack at all, let alone crossbow arrows, not even a single leaf.

"Could it be that they fell from their horses?"

The thought had just arisen, and Nulba quickly put him behind him.

Just kidding, you know, the steppe warriors who have practiced riding sheep since childhood, and can ride a pony on the grassland at the age of seven or eight, can be said to be more solid on horseback than walking, they can eat, drink, and fall off the horse on the horse, this reason is probably not believed even by three-year-old children.

However, neither was he attacked, nor did he fall off his horse, but the subordinates in front of him suddenly fell off their horses, and for a while, Nulba was completely confused.

"Thousands of people are trapped in a pit."

Just when Nulba was in chaos and even thought it was a ghost, a spirit's subordinate finally discovered the mystery.

"What, a pit, damn it, bastard."

Hearing that it was a horse trap, Nulba, who was still a little confused before, instantly became extremely hideous.

It is said that where there is a spear, there is a shield, and everything in the world will have the existence of mutual restraint, which is the unchanging truth of the ages.

Since the possession of saddles and stirrups that can assist people in stabilizing their bodies on horses, war horses have become the most important means of transportation for human beings, and cavalry has become the most important combat team on the battlefield during the cold weapon period.

The steppe tribes, with their ruthless and endless war horses, have therefore become the number one strong enemy of the farming people.

Because of the lack of war horses, the maneuverability of the farming people is not as good as that of the grassland tribes, and in the battle with the grassland tribes, they often miss many fighters, and if they can't win, they will suffer heavy losses, and if they win, they can't completely annihilate the other party.

Therefore, how to limit the mobility of the steppe peoples in disguise has become the main research object of the generals of the farming peoples in the past dynasties, and the hard work pays off, and after the accumulation of sacrifices and failures, this kind of thing finally appeared.

The trap is very atmospheric, but it is actually very simple, dig a hole in the ground about half a foot deep, that is, about fifteen centimeters, slightly larger than the horse's hooves.

In galloping, if the war horse accidentally steps on it, the result is self-evident.

In particular, this kind of horse trap is extremely easy to do, a soldier, a meal can make a lot of effort, therefore, this kind of thing, soon became a powerful means for the Central Plains people to fight against the grassland cavalry, especially when camping, with the camp protected by the horse pit, there is no longer need to worry about being attacked by the cavalry.

The appearance of the trap completely broke the Turkic army's plan to sneak attack the Snake Valley at night.

"Trapping the horse pit, interesting, it seems that the enemy has already discovered us, it seems that if you want to win easily this time, I am afraid it will not be easy."

When Ashide Yuanzhen got the news, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, but he quickly regained his composure.

"My lord, now that the enemy has known that we have arrived and discovered us, I am afraid that it is impossible for us to sneak attack, and there is a horse trap outside the Snake Valley, I am afraid that we will not be able to charge on horseback, if you want to attack the Snake Valley, I am afraid that we can only dismount and fight on foot."

A Turkic general said.

"Hmph, foot combat is foot fighting, no matter what enemy we Turkic warriors face, there is only one way, that is, use the scimitar in our hands, cut off their heads, make wine vessels and place them in the tent to watch, although we can't ride horses, but even if it is foot combat, we can still kill those damned thieves." Another general shouted waving his scimitar in his hand.

"Yes, we Turkic warriors are the greatest warriors on the steppe, we are the darlings of the Immortal Heaven, even if there is no war horse, we are still the most powerful, since they have discovered us, then we will also fight with them in a dignified manner, let them lose the heart, pass the order, the whole army dismounts and ranks up, ready to attack the Snake Valley."

Ashide Yuanzhen said in a firm tone.

"Subordinates obey."

......................

"Woo woo woo ............"

The melodious sound of the bull's horn resounded at dawn, probably knowing that this was the time when the two armies were fighting, even the dark clouds that had obscured the sun for several days in a row completely dissipated, and as the sun poked its head out of the east, bursting out of a bright but not scorching light, inside and outside the Snake Valley, a sky-high killing intent filled the heavens and the earth.

"Knock Knock Knock ........"

The dull beat of drums sounded through the army, like the howl of the wolf king when he called the wolves to attack.

Hearing the sound of drums, the Turkic battle columns standing at the front, accompanied by the command of their respective leaders, marched towards the Valley of the Snakes.

Most of the armies on the grassland are light cavalry, and the reason why this is the case is also based on the characteristics of the grassland people, because on the grassland, as far as the eye can see, thousands of miles of plains, when the two sides are fighting, what they fight is bravery, number and luck, and it is not like the battle in the Central Plains, which is mainly based on seizing cities and dangerous terrain.

This is also related to the lack of iron tools on the grassland, without iron tools can not cast weapons and armor, especially armor, because the use of iron tools is too much, and the grassland iron tools are scarce, often in order to save iron tools, except for some generals or patriarchs on the grassland, the rest of the warriors are mainly wearing leather armor.

Of course, this is not absolute, sometimes some steppe tribes for various reasons, will also create some armor for their henchmen, in the Turkic army there is such a team, this team is not large, only 5,000 people, they wear armor made of fine iron, each of them is an elite selected from the Turkic army, they are the Turkic Khan Ashina Gu Duolu Janissary Army, self-proclaimed Turkic elite of the Iron Army.

This time, he went south to exterminate the thieves who slaughtered his own people behind his back, and for the safety of Ashin Yuanzhen, Ashina Guduolu specially dispatched 1,500 people to protect Ashde Yuanzhen.

This time, it is a thousand ironclad soldiers who are playing the vanguard, and from this point of view, you can know that Ashide Yuanzhen has pressed all the bets for those snake valleys.

"Ready"

"Wow"

With a roar from Jira, the 1,000 ironclad soldiers at the head drew their scimitars at their waists, and then raised their shields and slowly rushed towards the Snake Valley.

They were followed closely by Nulba and several other thousand-men, but at this time, Nulba and his men, with all their scimitars in their scabbards, their bows and arrows in their hands, were ready to fire at their targets.

Five hundred steps, four hundred steps, three hundred steps.........

"Raise the Bow"

When they had reached two hundred paces, Nulba raised his head to the sky and shouted.

According to the archery of the steppe, the most effective distance is eighty paces, of course, some marksmen and gifted people may shoot more than a hundred paces, but for most people, eighty steps is the safest distance.

"Arrows"

One hundred and fifty paces later, Nulba roared again.

With this roar, all the Turkic soldiers who followed behind the ironclad army drew their arrows one after another, put them on the bowstring, and waited for the order to fire.

"Duan Langjun, do you want us to give them a try, let them taste the power, let them go down, I'm afraid our military morale will drop a lot."

Looking at the Turkic army formation that was slowly moving over like a sharp arrow, Yan Ming said with some restlessness on the side.

"It's ....... Okay, I'll give you a try, and by the way, I'll see the results of some of those things. ”

"Okay, hahaha, look at me."

"Whoosh......"

A piercing whistling sound suddenly came out of the Snake Valley, and then a cold light, in the eyes of everyone, quickly crashed into the military formation of the Turkic army.

"Ah......... Help, help! ”

After the cold light landed, everyone instantly became stunned, and saw that a trench appeared in the previously neat Turkic army array, although this trench was not too deep, that is, it only penetrated three or four layers, but the effect made everyone feel a tremor in their hearts.

Whether it was the ironclad army standing at the front, wearing a suit of fine iron armor, or the two or three Turkic warriors wearing leather armor behind them, they were all completely shot through at this time, looking like a giant arrow, but actually a thick iron rod-like thing, except for the ironclad army wearing iron armor in front, several other Turkic warriors were worn together like wearing sugar gourds, and even the ironclad warrior standing at the front was completely torn into two pieces by this iron rod, with the upper body on one side, the lower half of his body is on the side, because the speed is too fast, he is not completely dead, and he is still screaming miserably at this time.

"This ...... What is this, what is this, how can the enemy have such a powerful thing. ”

For a while, even the Turkic warriors who were brave and senseless couldn't help but show a trace of fear on their faces when they saw such a miserable situation.

"Bed Crossbow"

Just when all the Turkic battles were shocked by the enemy's powerful weapon, Ashid Yuanzhen, who was alone in the rear and saw all this clearly, spit out two words on his face extremely hideously.
