Chapter 489: Battle Snake Valley 7

"Bang ........"

"Click, click....."

Fast horses like the wind, in the blink of an eye, with a burst of piercing sounds, the two sides finally collided together.

At this time, if someone stands in the air and looks down, they will find that the armies of the two sides are like two dark clouds, quickly fused together, making this dark cloud appear more dense.

"Kill ......."

With his calloused and extremely rough palm, he held the glittering scimitar in his hand and slashed at the head of a Turkic soldier.

Because it was a fast horse raid, the Turkic soldier did not react, and when he saw Yeluhong, he wanted to raise the shield in his hand, but unfortunately it was too late, the horse galloped, and Yeluhon riding on it was also like a gust of wind, and the scimitar in his hand was like a fallen leaf swirling in the wind, so it looked extremely beautiful, but it was stained with blood at this moment.

"Gollum ........"

Before the Turkic soldier's shield was raised, Yeluhon's scimitar reached the top of his head, and with a slight slash, the Turkic soldier's head exploded, half of which was cut to the ground by the scimitar and rolled for a while, while the other half was still growing on the Turkic soldier's head.

"Driving ....."

Cutting off the heads of the Turkic soldiers with a knife, Yeluhon didn't even look at them, and continued to drive his horse forward.

Yelujia is the superior nobleman of the Khitan tribe, Yeluhong is also a famous warrior in this generation of Khitan tribe, he can't look down on the head of such a Turkic soldier, his goal in this battle is to capture or kill a general of the Turkic army, in order to show his prestige as the first warrior of the Khitan.

At this moment, on the entire battlefield, situations like Yeluhong are playing out in many places, although the Turkic warriors are extremely elite warriors on the steppe, and the 50,000 troops who followed Ashid Yuanzhen south this time are the elite of them, but even in the elite army, he is still composed of people, after more than ten days of hard fighting, the energy of the Turkic army has long been exhausted, and now it can still assemble the battle array to fight, relying on the dignity in the heart, otherwise, if you change an army, I'm afraid it would have collapsed long ago.

In addition to morale and energy and other reasons, most of the cavalry against the infantry are infantry, especially to this kind of infantry without heavy ordnance, it is even more difficult to resist the charge of the cavalry, and there is no other way than to use human lives to resist desperately.

"Lord Qiyu, the enemy has broken through the first line of defense and is now rushing towards our second line of defense, see if you are ........"

Under the leadership of Shi Daring, the three arrow-like charging teams, like real sharp arrows, easily broke through the first line of defense of the Turkic army.

"Why, do you mean that you want me to avoid it, but unfortunately, now, the world is big, there is no place for me to hide, at this moment, we have only one death, tell the whole army, this battle is the last battle of my Ashid Yuanzhen, even if it is death, I will not take a step back."

Looking at the Khitan army that had broken through the first line of defense, thinking of the banner of his Chinese army, Ashide Yuanzhen said with a trace of determination and indifference on his face.

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Ashid Yuanzhen's mortal expression also affected the remaining Turkic army.

Many Turkic soldiers, knowing that they were going to die, would also hold the Khitan soldiers who charged by, some biting with their teeth, some slashing with knives, even if they exchanged knives for knives, they did not have the slightest fear, but showed a weird smile on their faces.

Such a situation made the Khitan army, which was full of pride, also feel a little afraid.

"It is worthy of being a warrior who is rampant in the steppe, if it were any army, in this case, I am afraid that it would have collapsed long ago, even if it will not surrender, it will be a rat, not to mention that these Turks are the last knights, if they ride a war horse and really want to escape, maybe they will really be escaped by them, but unfortunately, they chose to fight to the death here, and it is so miserable, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity......."

Duan Jian, who was standing on a high place, couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the cruel scene in front of him.

"Lang Jun, the bravery of the Turkic warriors is obvious to all, but if we can't quickly eliminate them, I'm afraid it will cause huge losses to the morale of our army, and in that case, our next actions will probably be affected."

Zhou Xing opened his mouth and said.

"Well, forget it, originally for these respected warriors, I didn't want them to die like this, it's just that the stakes are so high, I can only say sorry, order down, and prepare to launch!"

Duan Jian sighed.

"Lord Yan, Lord Duan has an order, you have to act."

After Duan Jian gave the order, a herald quickly found a hidden place not far from this and said to Yan Ming, who was hiding here.

"Hahaha, good, good, great, it's finally here, I originally thought that this battle would not be our turn, but I didn't expect that we finally waited for a good opportunity, you go back and tell Lord Duan, just say that I, Yan Ming, said that I will live up to his hopes, and I will definitely beat the Turks."

Hearing the herald's words, Yan Ming shouted excitedly.

"Hurry up, you bastards, didn't you hear, Lord Duan has sent an order, they all say that raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, since you bastards arrived here, I, Yan Ming, have eaten, drunk and entertained you, and there is no place to treat you badly, I just hope that in this battle, you will show me a good face, and now the opportunity has come, tell you, if anyone embarrasses me, don't blame me for his ass."

Yan Ming turned around and yelled at a group of strong men beside him.

"Lord Yan, you are embarrassed just by saying that you are embarrassed, if we show your face, what should you do, is there any benefit?" Hearing Yan Ming's roar, a big man, while busy quickly, laughed in his mouth.

"You are a tree root, if you don't learn well, just learn these crooked things, tell you, when did I, Yan Ming, treat my brother badly, if anyone fights well this time, show my face, don't dare to say anything else, as long as it is something in this world, what do you want, what I will give you, even if it is the moon in the sky, I will let someone build a ladder for you to take it off."

Yan Ming smiled without the slightest blame.

"Lord Yan, my tree root is a rough person, and I don't want any moon, it's useless to take things, even if I put it in the house, I can't sleep at night."

"Hahaha......"

As soon as the roots of the tree landed, many strong men around them burst into laughter.

"Okay, you say, what do you want?" Yan Ming said unconvinced.

"That.... That, Lord Yan, I don't want the moon, I don't want anything else, I just heard that there is a fang market in Chang'an City, all of which are green buildings, and those green buildings are full of fairy-like beauties. Tree Root said with some embarrassment.

"Hahaha, the root boy can't hold it back, hurry up and go home to find his daughter-in-law!"

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

Hearing the words of the tree root, the surrounding people laughed even more.

Even after Yan Ming heard it, he couldn't be happy, and after laughing loudly for a while, he said before he spoke, "Hahahaha, I thought it was a big deal, it turned out that I just wanted to see and see Kangpingfang, no problem, absolutely no problem." ”

Speaking of this, Yan Ming saw a burst of joy on the face of the tree roots, and then he continued, "Not only is it no problem, tell all of you, as long as you leak a big face for me this time, I will take all of you to Kangpingfang to live happily for a month, including eating, drinking and having fun, I have all the benefits, not only that, as long as you like the beautiful girl, I will find it for you, what do you see." ”

"Good .........."

As soon as Yan Ming's words landed, a shocking shout suddenly came from the surroundings, and at this time, all the big men were flushed with excitement, looking at Yan Ming as if he was a hungry person who was dying of hunger seeing a piece of braised pork.

"In that case, don't wait, act quickly, hurry up and cook these Turkic dogs, let's go and see Mei Jiao Niang early."

Under Yan Ming's stimulation, these big men all showed twelve points of experience, and soon, one after another, things that looked like giants stood in front of everyone's eyes.

For this kind of thing, as long as people in the army will not be unfamiliar, in the era of cold weapons without gunpowder and cannons, this giant like the same thing, is the greatest weapon of this era, and it is also a siege weapon invented by agricultural civilization against strong city walls.

Catapults or in some places or dynasties, also known as city trucks.

In fact, his principle is very simple, using the lever or the principle of rebound, shoot the stones of one side into the distance, and deal a major blow to the enemy or the city wall.

No one knows the appearance of catapults, only the historical records of the era can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when a generation of manufacturers, Lu Ban once made a powerful catapult.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, for more than a thousand years, this powerful siege equipment has finally reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty after countless generations of full development.

This is, although this kind of thing is powerful, it is extremely difficult to popularize, because his power is like his size, the same huge, in ancient times when transportation was inconvenient, it was even more difficult to transport such a giant, except for the army in order to conquer the city, when facing the strong city walls, the rest of the time, he was placed in the city, as a defensive weapon to use.

Of course, the catapult assembled by Yan Ming and these people now is not a fixed catapult of Datang, if it is that kind of catapult, it is not something that they can use at all, and it requires countless craftsmen to work together to assemble it.

The so-called catapult used by Yan Ming now was actually modified by Duan Jian, in order to defend the Snake Valley and eat the Turkic elite of Ashid Yuanzhen in one fell swoop, Duan Jian specially created this new type of catapult according to the appearance of the return cannon used by the Mongols who were popular all over the world in later generations and fought all over Europe and Asia.

This kind of catapult is not only much smaller than the previous catapult, but also much more convenient to use, only need to go through a simple run-in, everyone can use it, and it can be disassembled and assembled at any time, which can be described as extremely convenient.

After seeing these return guns, Yan Ming was like seeing a new toy, trying his best to rub Duan Jian, and finally asked Duan Jian to hand over all the team to him to be responsible, and he did not live up to Duan Jian's trust, and worshiped these return cannons and the soldiers who manipulated the return cannons as ancestors every day, for this moment.

"My lord, all the catapults have been assembled, and you see if we are ready to do it."

The root of the tree came to Yan Ming and said.

"Okay, three tentatives, ready to launch."

At this time, Yan Ming changed the playful and indecent appearance just now, and ordered with a solemn face.

"Three tentatives, launches."

With the order of the tree root, the three return cannons, under the control of the soldiers, quickly cut the ropes that were hooked.

"Bump, bump, bump........."

Three times in a row, and then everyone saw rocks the size of a human head, with a whistling sound, flying towards the center of the battlefield.

"Boom, boom, boom......."

"Ah, help, help."

Fortunately, two of the three tentative shots directly hit the military formation of the Turkic army, and the Turkic soldiers who were hit were directly turned into pulp, and the two stones that hit them were even more broken in the tumbling, which was extremely miserable.

"Okay, great, that's it, tell the brothers, give me a good look at those places, smash them well, I've been aggrieved for so many days, watching others eat fatty meat, and today it's finally time for us to open meat."

This brilliant result in front of them made Yan Ming and the others extremely excited, you must know that there are not many Tang troops who followed Shi Daring this time, except for the soldiers who only belong to Shi Daring's command, it is these hundreds of people who manipulate the return artillery.

As Tang people, they can be said to be self-proclaimed masters in the Khitan army, but for so many days, the people who fought hard were all Khitans, so that those Khitan people who suffered heavy losses looked at them a little unpleasantly, although they didn't dare to say anything clearly, but they could say some grumbling behind their backs, it was also indispensable, although they all felt extremely indignant, but this is the case, they could only endure it silently, and now it was finally time for them to be ashamed, how could they not do it well.

"Crackle, crackle........"

In the blink of an eye, all the Tang soldiers seemed to be crazy, thinking about the continuous firing of stones in the Turkic army, and in that case, there was really a look of wanting to use stones to smash all the Turkic troops to death.

"This Yan Ming, it seems that he is really crazy, if it goes on like this, don't talk about the Turks, I'm afraid that even the Khitans will all be stoned to death, come on, tell them, let them restrain themselves, don't hurt the friendly army by mistake."

Although the words were blaming, the smile on Duan Jian's face revealed the true thoughts in his heart.
