Ashina gritted his teeth and looked at the tragedy in front of him with a pale face.

In the era of cold weapons that were not invented by firearms, cavalry was the king of war, which was unanimously recognized by all military strategists at home and abroad in ancient and modern times, so the history of feudal civilization in both the East and the West is actually the history of war in which agricultural civilization and grassland civilization carried out conquests.

In particular, the Chinese civilization located in the east, it can be said that since the beginning of history, eighty percent of all the news about the war was with foreign races from the north, and even the several major disasters suffered by the Han people in history, the Wuhu Rebellion and the fall of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are inextricably linked with foreign races.

Although the grassland peoples are inferior in number and equipment to the agricultural civilization, they have only one thing, that is, they possess the most powerful combat tools in the era of cold weapons, horses.

There are horses to have cavalry, and therefore, whether the cavalry is strong or not is related to the strength of the dynasties, just like the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, which has a place to raise horses, can be said to be beating all the foreign races around it at the beginning, whether it is Turkic or Xue Yantuo, or even Tubo, in the face of the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, either fleeing in embarrassment or bowing down, and the Song Dynasty, because of the loss of the land of horse breeding, although there are many opportunities to win foreign wars, but it did not cause too much loss to the enemy. But he didn't get any benefits, and in desperation, he could only keep cutting the land and paying compensation, even so, in the end, it was difficult to escape the end of being destroyed by the alien race.

Of course, it's not that the foot soldiers are useless, and there are no longer a few examples of using foot soldiers to defeat cavalry in history, just like Li Ling, a genius, relying on 5,000 foot soldiers to run rampant across the grassland, under the encirclement and interception of more than 100,000 Hun cavalry, he is still alive and very chic, if he didn't fall into danger for other reasons in the end, I'm afraid his achievements in history will not be less than Huo Quai's.

As a generation of heroes on the grassland, and also born in the anti-Tang professional Ashina family, Ashina Guduolu is also very familiar with the Tang Army, although he knows the strength of the Tang Army, but he has always thought that it is the cavalry of the Tang Army, in his opinion, that kind of foot soldier, but also a transport soldier who is really a logistical baggage, no different from the people, but today, right here, his point of view has been completely subverted.

In his thoughts, the only thing that can deal with the cavalry in the assault is the cavalry, whether it is the previous battle between Kurdo and the Tang cavalry, or the hedge between them and the Khitan army just now, all prove this, and they broke through the Khitan cavalry formation, although there are tens of thousands of Tang army foot soldiers in front of them, but such an army formation, in the eyes of Ashina Guduolu, is not easy to be the same as paper paste, as long as the cavalry charges, they will be like the weeds trampled by the horse's hooves, and the inside will be festering.

But now, when he first thought that the Tang Army's infantry formation was like paper paste, in the face of the assault of the cavalry, it did not collapse, but like a long-tempered fine steel plate, it stubbornly blocked their charge.

And those warriors who launched the charge, like moths rushing to the lights, withered in front of the Tang Army's military formation.

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

If Duan Jian still had some doubts and worries about the decision of the Black Tooth Changzhi before, at this moment, Duan Jian had no other way in his heart except to respect, of course, except for the Black Tooth Changzhi, Duan Jian also said to the foot soldiers who formed a military formation to defend the Turkic army and charged, "Strong, my Tang Sergeant." ”

The 20,000 Tang army foot soldiers, in the face of countless Turkic soldiers riding fast horses, brandishing scimitars, and whistling, did not have a trace of timidity and fear, they were like unconscious machines, doing what they should do in an orderly manner.

The archers shoot without squinting, and every sharp arrow is sent out, there will definitely be a Turkic knight who falls off the horse, and the shield bearer, holding the shield with a fearless look, holding the shield, as if holding the whole world, unswervingly exerts all his strength to prevent the shield from falling, even if they are hit by a high-speed impact of the war horse, bleeding and confused, their hands are also unswervingly holding the handle of the shield.

And then there are those soldiers who hold spears more than a zhang long, these people can be said to be the most dangerous existence in the entire military formation, they are not like archers, hiding behind, the Turks' bows and arrows generally can't shoot them, and they are not like shield bearers, hiding behind shields, at least to ensure a certain safety, they need to hold spears in both hands, used to resist the swarming Turkic soldiers, therefore, not only do they have nothing to cover, they can't even dodge, they really use their lives to defend the victory.

It is like this, they are also the most killed and wounded in the entire military formation, but after a person falls, the comrades behind them will immediately be replaced, without a trace of hesitation, without a trace of timidity, at this time they will not think about the meaning of what they are doing this, nor will they think about what they can get by doing this, they only know that if they do not replace it, the entire military formation may collapse immediately, and all the comrades in the entire military formation are also likely to be killed by the enemy because of this.

"This brave man, I, Datang, am not afraid of the provocation of any ghost in the world."

Duan Jian couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, since Emperor Gaozu Dingding Datang, my Datang can be described as a martial arts, the world's alien races, no one dares to look directly at my Datang, the Quartet of the world, only I respect, but unfortunately, such a grand event is gone, the court princes for a little profit, wanton attack, watching the alien race raging, my border people suffered from the small bullying, but indifferent, if this time is not the first to launch the nephew, I am afraid that the northern Xinjiang grassland will fall into the hands of the Turks, so as to come, The land of the northern frontier that Emperor Taizong worked so hard to pacify will once again become a problem for my Tang Dynasty's henchmen, sad, lamentable! ”

Hearing Duan Jian's emotion, Hei Tooth Changzhi also said in a moment of distraction.

The so-called 'everyone in the world is drunk and I am sober', many times it is not necessarily a good thing, especially for people like Hei Yan Changzhi, who have the heart of the world, this situation is an extremely unbearable thing for them.

"Don't worry, old general, this kind of thing will not happen in the future, the little nephew believes that the Datang will only get better and better in the future, and the power of the Datang army will be spread all over the world."

Saying this, Duan Jian also secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must do his best to let the glory of the Tang Dynasty pass on, instead of destroying the glory of several generations like in history.

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

"Great Khan, what should I do, the military formation of this Tang army is as hard as iron and stone, and if you rush down here, no matter how brave our warriors are, I am afraid they will all die here."

The predicament in front of him made all the Turkic generals anxious, if they couldn't break the Tang army's military formation, they couldn't rush out, you know, the most important thing for the cavalry as the king of war is not how lethal he is, but his movement speed and impact.

The so-called war is actually a group of people fighting, whether tactics or stratagem, in the final analysis, it is still the battle between the soldiers of the two armies, and the battle between the soldiers, which is stronger and faster, will have more chances to defeat the opponent.

But now, from the beginning of the battle, the Turkic army has been fighting for most of the day, and now they are at the end of the crossbow, if they can't take this opportunity to break through the Tang army's formation, when the war horse has no strength, then they may be completely finished, there is no war horse, and they are still trapped in the encirclement of the Tang army, what the result is, can be imagined.

"What, are you afraid of death?"

Ashina Guduolu, who had already been stimulated by the tragic scene in front of him, had red eyes, round eyes, and a hideous face, as if he was a beast on the bed who had been excited, and looked at the Turkic general who opened his mouth viciously.

"The Great Khan is angry, the last general is not afraid of death, but the death of the last general is a trivial matter, but the safety of the Great Khan is a big thing, the Turks can do without the last general, but not without the Great Khan, if the Great Khan dies here, we Turks are afraid that there will be no future." Although he was taken aback by Ashina's bones, the general said without hesitation.

"Okay, since you are not afraid of death, you are not afraid of death, Ben Khan will not be afraid of death, none of our Turkic warriors will be afraid of death, isn't it just a military formation, don't say that they are just a group of people, even if they are really steel, Ben Khan will turn them into juice powder, let them be crushed, give the order to go down, and continue to attack."

"Subordinates obey."

The Turkic generals were ordered to leave.

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

"Kill, kill, ........."

The so-called long-term defense will be lost, even if the Tang army's military formation is strong, just like Ashina Gu Duolu said, even if it is composed of iron and stone, there will be a day of shattering.

Therefore, after Ashina Guduolu ordered to continue the charge at all costs, under the impact of many crazy Turkic warriors, the Tang army's military formation, which originally seemed to be integrated, also had loopholes.

At first, it was just that the shield in front of it was broken one by one, although it was quickly filled by the Tang army, but when there were more and more such big holes, and they were getting bigger and bigger, the speed at which the Tang army filled them finally couldn't keep up with the speed of being destroyed by the Turkic soldiers.

"Boom"

"Hahaha, it's broken, it's broken, brothers, rush in!"

With a loud noise, a row of shields was violently broken by a Turkic army driving several horses, although the Tang army guarding behind the shield immediately rushed to the front, wanting to fill this hole can't be filled, but unfortunately, for the Turkic troops who have long gathered here, as if looking for a gap like a wolf, this hole is no less than leading to a treasure cave full of treasures, who will give up.

Even when they were confronted with a dense array of spears that seemed to be dense like a forest of thorns, they rushed forward with all their might.

"Old general, I'm afraid the military formation is about to break, do you want to let Shi Daring them out and give them a chance to repair." Looking at the Turks who rushed into the military formation, Duan Jian admonished.

"Hahaha, don't worry, for the time being, you don't need to be bold enough for them to make a move, if the old man only has such a little ability, wouldn't it make you underestimate this kid, look at it, the show has just begun, and you will see the real big scene soon." Hei Fang Changzhi smiled indifferently.

Although he had some doubts in his heart, seeing that Hei Tooth Changzhi was so calm, Duan Jian's heart also calmed down, but he was a little more curious.

"Someone, pass the order, the army formation slowly retreats to both sides, and let the sword array impact."

Blacktooth often ordered.

At Blacktooth's command, a drum and trumpet sounded.

"Hahaha, Great Khan, retreat, retreat, Tang Army retreated, we won, we won."

With the sound of drums and trumpets of the Tang army, the Tang army, which was fighting with the Turkic army, began to slowly retreat to both sides.

Although the Tang army did not retreat quickly, but this situation appeared in the eyes of the Turkic generals, but it made them extremely excited, everyone knew that this foot soldier was already the last barrier in front of the commander of the Tang army, as long as this barrier was broken, the Tang army's Chinese army camp was in front of them, and the way to escape was also in front of them.

"Hoo ........"

The retreat of the Tang army, Ashina Gu Duolu has long seen it, although I don't know, why the Tang army automatically retreated when it did not suffer a major blow, are they not afraid that their commander will be killed or caught, but this thought only flashed in Ashina Guduolu's mind, and soon, he was occupied by the news of the Tang army's retreat, without the obstruction of these Tang families, their way forward will no longer have any obstacles, which also means that they have succeeded in breaking through this time, although the battle has suffered huge losses, but at least tens of thousands of troops broke through, and as long as he has these tens of thousands of troops, the Turks will not perish, and he still has the capital to make a comeback.

"Hahahaha, warriors, the passage to survive has been opened, and there is no longer any force in front to stop us, for the Turks, for ourselves, rush!"

In his smugness, Ashina Guduolu brandished his scimitar and shouted loudly to the many Turkic soldiers around him.

"Rush!"

The Turkic soldiers, who were still determined to die just now, shouted loudly with Ashina Guduolu because happiness came too quickly.

As the saying goes, happiness begets sorrow, and when all the Turkic soldiers were excited that they could continue to live, they did not realize that the crisis was not far from them.

"Boom Boom"

Under everyone's look of surprise, a group of thousands of people, dressed in pitch-black armor, like demons crawling out of hell, slowly walked out of the Tang Army's camp.
