Zhao Ziliang saw that the cavalry people in front of him had slipped into the ice that had been chiseled like dumplings, and a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Chu Ge beside him: "Give the order, let the army slow down, stop, and then line up on the ice in three phalanxes on the left, center and right, and notify the baggage team to catch up quickly."

At this time, the two armies finally met face to face, and both Zhao Ziliang and Du Modu began to order the whole army to be deployed at the first time, instead of letting the soldiers go ashore.

In this case, even if the enemy army on the opposite side is found, as a leading general, the first reaction is not to immediately lead the troops to attack the enemy, but to control the troops, after all, both sides are suddenly encountered, and there is no psychological preparation, at this time rashly taking an attack can only make their own side passive, only by controlling the troops, can they deal with emergencies, in this regard, Zhao Ziliang and Du Modu both did a good job.

However, in terms of arranging troops and dispatching troops, Zhao Ziliang is obviously much stronger than Du Modu, although Du Modu came first and rectified the army first, and Zhao Ziliang came late with his men and horses, but Zhao Ziliang commanded the army to form a formation for a much shorter time than Du Modu, and it was much more efficient.

After Zhao Ziliang ordered the army to line up in three side-by-side phalanxes, he did not immediately take action, but let the army stand by, which made the very anxious Du Modu very surprised, now the Tucai Shi army has not completed the whole team, the whole team is in chaos, but Du Modu can no longer manage so much, he only hopes that Zhao Ziliang will order the attack as late as possible, because the longer the time drags on, the Tucai Shi army under his command will be in formation, and then the Tang army will lose the opportunity to attack.

However, Zhao Ziliang did not move, which also made Du Modu very puzzled, it stands to reason that the generals of the Tang Army should not let go of such a good opportunity to make the first move, why is this happening? Unless the general of the Don Army is a straw bale.

Just when Du Modu was guessing Zhao Ziliang's intentions, the baggage team that Zhao Ziliang was waiting for finally rushed over, and Zheng San ran over to report to Zhao Ziliang: "General, the baggage team has arrived!" ”

Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Order the baggage team to immediately push the Fuyuan crossbow and the arm crossbow from the middle of the queue to the front of the army to standby!" ”

"No!" Zheng San agreed, and immediately ordered the flag bearers around him to play the flag, and the soldiers of the baggage team who saw the flag language pushed one after another with Fu Yuan's crossbow and arm crossbows from the gap between the soldiers in front and the soldiers, and piled them up to the front.

Less than 100 meters between the two armies, there was a belt of ice that had been cut through in between, and by this time the corpses of the Turgish soldiers who had fallen into the water had already floated on the river.

The two armies confronted each other, and the Turks had already sorted out the formation, and Du Modu was about to order to go ashore in two parts, attacking the Tang army from the left and right sides, but at this time, the Tang army had already moved, and saw Zhao Ziliang roar: "The whole army listens to the order, and the bow and arrow range is one hundred and fifty paces ready-"

The soldiers of the Tang Army, no matter what type of army, almost everyone had a bow and a pot of arrows, and even the Mo swordsmen, baggage soldiers, and grain carriers had bows and arrows.

Under Zhao Ziliang's order, all the Tang soldiers took out their bows and arrows from their bodies, and aimed their arrows at the front of the Tucai army.

"Shoot the arrows—"

"Whoosh ・・・・・・"

"Shoot the arrows—"

"Whoosh ・・・・・・"

"Shoot the arrows—"

"Whoosh ・・・・・・"

Under the command of Zhao Ziliang, the soldiers of the Tang Army released three arrows in succession, when the third wave of arrows was shot out, the first wave of arrows finally fell on the top of the heads of the Tuqi Shi people, and the screams came out one after another, the Tuqi Shi people fell to the ground one by one, the Tucai Shi soldiers had no shield, they could only be passively shot, and the agile and agile people could also use weapons to shoot off the arrows that came, but the people who reacted slowly could only be shot, and they couldn't dodge, and the arrows fell everywhere, and they couldn't hide from this one.

The Tang army had a small number of arrows and arrows, but it could not stand the large number of Turgish people and the number of targets, so the hit rate was very high, and only the first wave of arrow rain made the Turgish people lose more than 200 people, although not all of these people died immediately after being hit by arrows, but at least most of them died of combat effectiveness.

A large number of screams in the formation made the other soldiers of the Turgish began to be frightened, and the morale of the army began to waver, Du Modu was also in a hurry, the ice in front was chiseled, and the army wanted to rush over and go around to the shore and rush over, but it was too time-consuming, and the number of his men was much larger than that of the Tang army under Zhao Ziliang.

He immediately shouted: "Don't panic, don't panic, the Tang army is small in number, our army is large, all listen to Lord Ben's orders, everyone bows and arrows ready to return fire・・・・・・ release arrows-"

"Whoosh ・・・・・・・"

There are many people, and the effect of releasing arrows is really different, more than 2,000 people released arrows together, and the whistling sound of arrows is much louder than that of Tang Jun just now.

Zhao Ziliang saw that the Tuqi Shi people used bows and arrows to counteract, and immediately ordered: "The sword and shield hand shield is ready to ・・・・・・ cover ・・・・・・."

The rain of arrows was blocked by a round shield, but there were still a small number ・・・・・・of Tang soldiers who were hit by arrows, some died on the spot, and some were not shot and were slightly injured.

At the same time, the Tang army and the Turgish army launched a bow and arrow exchange, and Du Modu took this opportunity to retreat to the rear of the army, and began to send two teams of Turgish and Shi men and horses to approach the river bank respectively, preparing to outflank the Tang army after going ashore.

Of course, this situation was quickly discovered by Zhao Ziliang, and he immediately made a gesture and instructed Chu Ge: "Summons Wei Meng, order him to lead his troops to attack left and right!" ”

"No!"

After waving the flags for two days, a large number of Tang soldiers suddenly appeared in the dry grass not far from both sides of the riverbank, and these Tang soldiers ran to the river bank in a neat line to shoot arrows at the Tirish army approaching the river bank.

This situation shocked Du Modu, "What? How so? Why did the Tang army set up an ambush here in advance, our whereabouts must have been exposed, otherwise how could the Tang army set up an ambush here? Quick, order the left and right sides to quickly rush to the river bank and kill the Tang army! Fortunately, there are not many Tang troops, otherwise I would have to bury my bones here today! ”

Zhao Ziliang saw that after the two wings were flanked, the Turgish army was not only not suppressed and retreated, but rushed more fiercely and fiercely, he knew that the Turgish people had realized the danger, so he wanted to break through the flanks at all costs, he immediately said to Chu Ge: "Give the order to the baggage battalion, prepare for the Fuyuan crossbow and the arm open crossbow, immediately provide long-range strike support to the two wings, fire crossbow arrows at the fastest speed, and be sure to kill and injure the enemy's living force as much as possible!" ”

"No!"

After the flag command was transmitted, the Fuyuan crossbow and the arm-open crossbow operated by the baggage battalion began to exert their might, and one by one the arm-thick crossbow arrows shot out.

According to various documents, the range of the Fuyuan crossbow is about 300 steps, and the range of the arm crossbow is 230 steps, some scholars believe that the ancient step is equivalent to the modern 1.5 meters, if calculated in this way, the range of the Fuyuan crossbow is 450 meters, and the range of the arm crossbow is 345 meters, which seems to be a little exaggerated, and if it is calculated according to the modern step is equivalent to 0.75 meters, the range of the Fuyuan crossbow and the arm crossbow is 225 meters and 172.5 meters respectively, this distance should be achievable.

The power of the Fu Yuan crossbow and the arm crossbow is too terrifying, a crossbow arrow can shoot out, often able to shoot through several human bodies, and several people fall to the ground at the same time, the Turgish people are frightened by these two terrifying lethal weapons, and they have dropped their weapons and fled.

Suffering from the large-scale destruction of Fu Yuan's crossbow and arm crossbow, the morale of the Turgish's army plummeted, and the soldiers scrambled to turn around and flee.

Listening to the chaotic sound coming from behind him, the Turgish people and horses who were launching a brave charge to both sides turned their heads to check the situation, when they saw that the Chinese army had already broken and fled, these Tirish horses who were rushing to the shore immediately lost the courage to continue to charge, people's hearts are flesh long, everyone was rushing before, and they were not afraid of death, but now some people are the first to escape, and others immediately lost their courage, where is the courage to continue fighting?

When Du Modu saw this situation, he was immediately like a mourner, and he only muttered: "It's over, it's all over!" ”

Seeing this, his generals shouted: "My lord, the defeat is decided, let's hurry up and run for our lives!" Come on, carry the adults on your back! ”
