Chapter 471: Battle 2
"Driving ........."
"For the sake of the tribe, for the sake of immortality, the warriors of the Hun tribe, rush with me!"
The steppe, where there is no twist and turn for thousands of miles, is like a natural battlefield, where cavalry units with huge impact power can charge recklessly, and a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, or even more cavalry can unite to launch an overwhelming attack.
Therefore, compared with the Central Plains battlefield, which relied on various strategies, time, geography and other conditions to win the battle, the two sides fighting on the grassland paid more attention to the number of soldiers, as well as the size of morale and courage.
Fighting here is a contest of will and the spirit of not being afraid of death.
"Boom, boom, boom......."
Compared with the Turkic army attacking from the bottom of the mountain, the warriors of the Hun tribe who rushed down from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain appeared to be more swift.
Because the speed was too fast, the warriors of the Hun tribe did not bend their bows and arrows like the Turkic army under the mountain, they just drove the galloping horses under their hips, and waved the scimitar in their hands, which looked extremely sharp in the light of the sun, and ran down the mountain.
100 zhang, 80 zhang, 60 zhang
...........
"Shoot ........."
When the warriors of the Hun tribe rushed into a distance of less than fifty zhang from the Turkic army, the vanguard general of the Turkic army, Aru did not give an order.
The five thousand Turkic soldiers who had already bent their bows and arrows and were waiting loosened their bowstrings one after another.
"Bump, bump, bump........"
The original very slight sound, at this moment, it seems so loud.
In the sky, the originally extremely clear sky suddenly became black, not the clouds were fluttering, but five thousand sharp arrows floating in the sky at the same time, forming a black rain that covered the sky.
Then, with the effect of gravity, they bloomed one by one among the warriors of the Hun tribe.
"Ah.......h
"Puff ......."
"Hiss.........."
Although the tribal warriors on the steppe will also wear armor, but because of the lack of iron and craftsman technology, their armor is seriously insufficient, not to mention, many people's armor is simply an extremely fragile thing, so even large tribes such as the Turks and the Uighurs will only see excellent armor on the guards who directly belong to the Khan King or nobles, and the average steppe warrior can have a leather armor is already good.
Although the Hun tribe is a large tribe, because of their strange customs, armor and other things are even more scarce, and even the weapons in their hands are purchased from other places at a high price.
Therefore, in the face of the overwhelming rain of arrows, luck has become the only weapon of protection for all Hun tribe warriors.
Some of the unlucky Hun tribe warriors, under the rain of arrows, were shot like hedgehogs, and died on the road of the charge, which is not bad, after all, they died all of a sudden, in the pain is just that, the worst thing is that those warriors who were thrown off because of the arrows in their horses, don't think that they fell to the ground, and they could escape with their lives.
In the era of cold weapons, when there were no firearms, the reason why cavalry was an important factor in determining war was its incomparable mobility.
Agree, anything that stands in their way will be destroyed by them when thousands of troops are charging together, and all this includes those unlucky people who have fallen from their horses for various reasons.
For a while, I saw the formation of the Hun tribe that was originally charging, and under this rain of arrows, it seemed much looser inside, it was not that their formation had changed, but that many people had fallen on the way to the charge.
"Shoot .........."
"Shoot ......... Again"
As a suppressive weapon of medium and long strategy on the ancient battlefield, the bow and arrow existed throughout the entire history of warfare, and even if the bow and arrow were used well, it could directly destroy the enemy from a distance and leave it unscathed.
Although the Hun tribe fought with the Turkic warriors from the shooting circle of the Turks today, it was only less than fifty zhang away, and it only took two or three minutes to sprint quickly, but in such a short period of time, it was enough for the Turkic soldiers to shoot several times in a row.
After three rounds of arrow rain, the warriors of the Hun tribe finally rushed to the front of the battle formation of the Turkic army, but unfortunately, the warriors of the Hun tribe at this time had already started to charge from 10,000 people, leaving less than 8,000 people.
More than 2,000 elite, daring Hun tribe warriors fell on the way to the charge.
"Kill ........."
Seeing that the Turks were in front of him, Tu Meng, whose eyes were red from the stimulation of the scene just now, tore his throat and shouted a killing word.
"Bang Bang Bang ........"
Wielding the knife like lightning, in the blink of an eye, with the gallop of the war horse under his crotch, he used the scimitar in his hand to cut off three Turkic heads one after another, the three heads were like three footballs, gurgling and rolling to the ground, and the six eyes were full of disbelief, as if they didn't believe that they were dead.
"Kill, kill......"
If Tu Meng was a drill, then the remaining thousands of Hun tribe warriors behind him were the poles behind the drill, and they followed behind Tu Meng, expanding the Turkic front that Tu Meng had reopened, until this front was completely torn apart.
"Stop them."
If Aru Buhua's mood is a stock market, then it was a long white candle just now, and at this moment it is a long black candle.
As a famous general in the Turkic army, Alu Buhua was able to become the vanguard general of Ashid Yuanzhen's army, which shows his status in the Turkic army.
In his opinion, in the entire northern grassland, the Turkic warriors are the most powerful, and they are just a group of lambs driven by them, as long as the Turks are willing, they can slaughter them whenever they want.
Therefore, when he saw the Hun tribe charging towards him, he did not order the forward battalion to make the same charge, but chose to use a bow and arrow to attack, he originally thought that under the attack of the rain of arrows in the sky, the small tribe of the Hun tribe did not even have the courage to resist, and would be frightened and fled, but the reality disappointed him.
The Hun tribe was not frightened away, but instead burst into a more powerful attack, breaking into his forward camp in one fell swoop.
5,000 Turkic warriors, against less than 8,000 Hun tribe warriors, although there is a gap in numbers, but because the Turkic warriors are wearing fine armor, and most of the Hun tribe warriors are wearing leather armor, many people don't even have leather armor, so they rush up in a suit of clothes.
Therefore, if there is a real battle, the two sides are likely to be in a state of stalemate at the beginning, regardless of victory or defeat, because of Aru Buhua's arrogance, let himself lose the opportunity, in the face of the swarming, with the acceleration of war horses, the front formed by five thousand Turks, as if it was a piece of tissue paper, was stabbed open by a sharp blade.
"My lord, it's not good, the forward camp has collapsed, you better get out of here quickly!"
Just as the forward battalion of Aru Buhua was fighting with the Hun tribe, an escort galloped to the side of a horse of the Chinese army and shouted urgently.
"Hmm....... What's going on, how could the forward battalion collapse, and what Aru is not spending on, no matter how much he trains a group of rabble, he can't deal with it, do you really think that you are the one who came from the Khan King, but you can also act recklessly. ”
As soon as he opened the curtain of the carriage, Ashde Yuanzhen poked his head out and said with an angry face on his face.
"Lord Qiyu, Lord Aru Buhua has tried his best, but I didn't expect that the people of the Hun tribe are actually quite brave and swear not to retreat, and Lord Alu Buhua is careless for a while........... Your Excellency, you better get out of here quickly, in case those wild people break in and disturb your lordship, it will not be good. ”
Halfway through speaking, the guard who came to report the news couldn't go on, so he could only change the subject.
Since ancient times, military merit is always the fastest factor for a person to achieve fame, but behind countless famous successes, is the sorrow of more losers, for failure, especially for a defeated general, the end is undoubtedly extremely cruel, degrading, distribution, raiding, beheading, for defeated generals, this is the most common phenomenon, even the famous general Li Guang, a flying general, has suffered humiliation because of defeat, not to mention other generals.
This is especially true on the grassland, because of the vicious living environment on the grassland, the grassland people have developed extreme worship and desire for heroes, and the hero is the winner, in the same way, the winner gets everything, and the loser loses everything, which is why the grassland people are extremely tough.
"Hmph, a bastard with a head full of horse manure and only knows how to wield a scimitar, making him a general is a crime against the soldiers."
While muttering, Ashed Yuanzhen got off the carriage and rode on the steed that the guards around him had prepared for a long time, and with a wave of the whip, the steed galloped ahead of him, but the place where he went was not the rear, but the front of the battle.
When Ashide Yuanzhen felt that the battle was not far away, the five thousand Turkic warriors of the forward battalion had already collapsed, and the attacking Hun tribe warriors also retreated under the leadership of Tu Meng, after all, the cavalry charge seemed to be powerful, but they were still flesh and blood after all, and they were not like tanks, as long as there was gasoline, they could run rampant all the way, so after breaking up the five thousand forward battalion of Aru Buhua, there were several times to attack the Chinese army against the Turks, But he was stopped by the layers of protective circles that the Turkic generals had already established to see as bad, and had no choice but to retreat back, otherwise, I am afraid that the 20,000 Turkic army would have completely collapsed.
"What a useless shit, come on, bring Aru Buhua to me, I want to see what kind of head he has to do such a stupid thing." Looking at the messy forward battalion, Ashid Yuanzhen couldn't hold back his anger anymore.
Hearing Ashde Yuanzhen's roar, the guards behind him hurriedly drove away and walked into the distance, looking at the situation to find Aru Buhua, but unfortunately, someone soon came to tell him.
"Lord Qiyu, General Aru Buhua is dead."
Hearing the news of Alu Buhua's death, Ashide Yuanzhen was stunned, although Ashide Yuanzhen now wants to give Alu Buhua this fool a thousand knives, but he also just thinks about it, not to mention that Alu Buhua is the old man who followed Ashi Na Gu Daolu to raise troops, even at this time, it is not a good time to kill the general, therefore, Ashide Yuanzhen is just talking, even if he really finds Alu Buhua, at most he will scold a few words and beat a few whips, but unfortunately, They didn't want to fight Aru Buhua and died.
"If he is dead, then forget it, although he did a stupid thing and caused thousands of Turkic warriors, but since he has died in battle, his previous mistakes are also forgotten." Ashide Yuanzhen sighed, after all, no matter what, he couldn't get along with a dead man.
"Well, yes, sir, it's just ........."
Hearing Ashide Yuanzhen's words, the guard didn't know why, and the expression on his face was extremely strange.
"Why, there's still something that can't be done." Ashide Yuanzhen asked suspiciously.
"Hmm....... This, my lord, here's the thing, Aru Buhua didn't die in battle with the adult, but ........ It's ........"
"And what to say, ......"
The last word, Ashid Yuanzhen is like a lion, roaring.
"I was shot to death by my own people."
Hearing this, for a while, the whole world completely lit up in front of Ashid Yuanzhen's eyes.
Speaking of which, this Aru Buhua is indeed unlucky, at the beginning, in order to show his might, he lost the last fighter, so he was caught off guard, and the Turkic soldiers of the five thousand forward battalions suffered damage, if that's all, forget it, after all, no one on the battlefield will be extraordinary at all.
But it shouldn't be, Aru Buhua made a bigger mistake and went to the battlefield without changing his horse.
Although the status of cavalry in ancient times is quite important, what thousands of miles to run, three hundred in the day, two hundred in the night, it sounds very powerful, but after all, horses are also flesh and blood, they also need to rest, drink water, and will be tired, therefore, in order to achieve the strategic goal as soon as possible, often in many cases, when the army marches, it will be one person and two horses or one person and three horses, in the grassland, this kind of thing is even more normal.
Just like Genghis Khan's expedition to the west, they took advantage of the strong endurance and easy breeding characteristics of Mongolian war horses, and one person owned several war horses, and all of them ate and drank on horseback, so as to reach the maximum speed of the attack, and the Western countries that they fought were embarrassed and destroyed one after another.
In addition to this, the alien race on the grassland also has a characteristic, that is, in addition to riding horses, they also have war horses for special operations, different from riding horses, war horses not only eat and drink are high-quality, but also have a certain amount of training, and can do a certain tacit understanding with knights, it can be said that a good war horse is half of a knight's life, so, in order to protect the war horse, it is generally replaced when the battle is about to be carried out, and this time, because it is too careless, Aru does not spend at the beginning of the battle, The horses were not replaced, but they were still riding on the horses.
