Chapter 506: Grassland Battle 6
It is said that when people concentrate on doing something, they can ignore everything around them, as if time and space do not exist, and all the spirit and energy are focused on what they want to do.
This situation is the most practical on the battlefield, in this place where iron and blood collide, any small distraction, the final result will cause inevitable losses, the light ones will break their muscles and bones, and the heavy ones will return directly to the underworld.
"Kill, kill, kill....."
"Rush, rush, rush......."
Under the leadership of the Turkic Great Khan Ashina Guduolu, the more than 100,000 Turkic troops who launched the charge had only one thought, that is, to break through all the obstacles in front of them, break the cage of the Tang army, and fight for a tomorrow for their own lives and the continuation of the tribe.
In this process, many people fell on the way to charge, while many more people finally saw the bright hope with the sacrifice of these people.
"Hoo ........"
"Rushed out, finally rushed out."
After killing a Khitan soldier with a frightened face in front of him, Ashina Guduolu suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, and the previous scene that seemed to be in the primeval forest, full of war horses and enemies, suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by the sun and fresh air of rumors.
Of course, in addition to these things that I usually don't care about, but feel extremely precious at this time, there are also not far away, the dense spear array that looks like a steel jungle, under the sun, the clothes and armor glowing with cold light, all make Ashina's originally happy mood lower again.
"Great Khan, should we turn the horse's head and take the opportunity to eliminate these Khitan dogs, or ........."
A Turkic general who was following Ashina Guduolu asked.
The number of the Khitan army was originally as much as double that of them, although under the encouragement of the fact that the Khitan army was no longer alive, the Khitan army burst out with absolute combat power, but the actual gap was still much more cruel than imagined.
Since they penetrated the military formation, the Khitan army has begun to be chaotic, if at this time, they are turning their horses' heads and killing back, mixed with the original Turkic soldiers in the army, I am afraid that it will not take long to completely defeat the Khitan army.
Looking at the sun overhead, looking at the Tang army formation not far away, Ashina Gu Duolu shook his head and said, "No, the Khitans are just a dog of the Han people, in order to break through their military formation, we have lost too many warriors, if we are still entangled with them, even if they are really annihilated in the end, there is no loss for the Tang people, and whether we can fight with the Tang army at that time is also unknown, since this is the case, we might as well rush directly into the Tang army formation now."
The total number of Tang troops is less than 50,000, 20,000 people have just attacked our flank, and there are 10,000 people in the previous battle, although they won, but they also suffered great losses, and now we only have 20,000 foot soldiers in front of us, as long as we break through the defense line of these 20,000 foot soldiers, we will be able to capture the commander of the Tang army, and then the Tang army will be completely defeated, and our crisis will be lifted. ”
"Kill ....."
Under the order of Ashina Guduolu, countless Turkic soldiers who had just broken through the Khitan army formation did not care about their physical exhaustion or injuries at all, so they drove their war horses, thinking that the Tang army formation that was waiting for them rushed straight forward, even if some people fell to the ground halfway, the rest did not care at all, some people may say that they were ruthless, but this is the custom of the steppe people, for the survival of the tribe and family, personal life is just an item that can be sacrificed at any time.
...................
"Old general, can those catapults be dispatched, even if they can't annihilate them all, at least they can give them some obstacles." Looking at the Turkic troops rushing towards him, Duan Jian said a little nervously.
"Okay, let them do it."
For Duan Jian's proposal, Hei Tooth Changzhi has not changed, it's not that Black Tooth Chang Zhi is too calm, but he doesn't care at all, although Duan Jian also told him about the battle of Snake Valley, Black Tooth Changzhi only cares about the planning part, and doesn't know much about the specific battle, for the understanding of catapults, he also knows about the catapults in the shadows, but they are all placed on the city, although they are powerful, they move slowly, although now Duan Jian has simplified those catapults, but in Hei Tooth Changzhi's opinion, Catapults, which drop at most a few basketball-sized stones, don't do much at all.
Duan Jian didn't care about the black tooth Changzhi's indifference, but after chuckling, he nodded secretly to Yan Ming beside him.
After receiving Duan Jian's hint, Yan Ming walked to the rear in ecstasy, then turned around and rode on a fast horse, and walked towards a high ground next to the Shuai Ying, where the trebuchet led by Yan Ming was arranged.
"Hurry up, prepare, prepare, attack immediately, remember, this is the first time that our brothers have shown their faces in the army, and after enduring it for so long, we will just wait for this time, who dares to drop the chain, be careful that he wants to look good."
Yan Ming shouted while urging the soldiers to prepare.
After experiencing the battle of Snake Valley, this trebuchet team, which was still a little rusty, can be regarded as experienced, and after these years of training, compared to the rush of Snake Valley, it is now much smoother.
In a few moments, a hundred and ten catapults were ready.
"Ready, shoot."
"Bang Bang ........."
"Search Search ......"
At the sound of an order, all 100 trebuchets were launched, and the sound of the launch was so loud that even on the battlefield that shook the sky.
"Boom, boom........"
The so-called pie in the sky is something that everyone dreams of, but when things really start to fall from the sky, or stones that can kill people, I'm afraid no one will be happy.
"Ah, help, help."
"How so, where did the stone come from?"
One hundred and ten stones the size of a human head suddenly fell from the sky, even if it was a bold person, I am afraid that it would be terrified at this time, after all, there are many people in this world who are not afraid of death, but there are not many people who are not afraid. For a moment, I saw that the Turkic army, which was still like a powerful bow and crossbow before, charged forward, suddenly fell into chaos.
"Hmph, bastard, come here, pass on the order, anyone who makes a commotion, all of them will be killed, the whole family will listen to the order, and continue to move forward."
Looking at the battle formation that was originally strictly forbidden, it almost turned into a pot of porridge, Ashina Gu Duolu's face turned red with anger, and he roared loudly.
I have to say that iron-blooded killing, although it will make people feel fearful most of the time, but at critical times, especially when everyone is in chaos, iron-blooded killing is indeed a final way to calm everyone's emotions.
Soon, under the order of Ashina Guduolu, the original riot was quickly quelled, and besides, although a hundred and ten stones sound like a lot, it is only a very inconspicuous point on the battlefield where tens of thousands of people clash.
"Oh, you still dare to move forward, come on, shoot me hard, a hundred can't kill them, I'll shoot them a thousand, ten thousand, see if they can resist."
Looking at the Turkic army that quickly re-launched the charge, Yan Ming, who was still triumphant before, shouted a little angrily at this time.
Yan Ming is angry, which means that the trebuchet is powerful.
"Bang Bang Bang ......."
"Boom, boom, boom........"
Although under the strict orders of Ashina Guduolu and the resolute temperament of many Turkic soldiers, the Turkic army in the charge was no longer affected by these stones, and even if there were some riots, they were only some small riots, but this result had already made Hei Fang Changzhi feel extremely surprised.
"It seems that the old man is underestimating the heroes of the world, and he was a little dismissive of the virtuous nephew who said this kind of trebuchet, thinking that it didn't have much effect, but I didn't expect that if it was used well, it would cause such a big impact, and please don't blame the old man for having eyes and no beads!"
"What did the old general say, this trebuchet is useless if you don't say it, but it really didn't play any role, except for the initial surprise of the enemy, it didn't make the enemy pause, the little nephew is really ashamed!" Duan Jian also said with some surprise.
In Duan Jian's opinion, even if these trebuchets could not deal a great blow to the Turks as they did in the Snake Valley, at least they could make the Turks dare not attack rashly, but he didn't expect that the Turks would rush over under the pressure of falling stones from the sky in this situation.
"Hey, it's wrong for the virtuous nephew to think so, it's like a brave warrior, it's impossible to win a war, in a powerful weapon, it is impossible to replace all weapons, therefore, the weapon doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, only when the most suitable is used at a critical time, it's the best weapon, and these are also the responsibilities of those of us as leading generals, although it seems that at present, this trebuchet doesn't play much of a role, but if you change places, it's like what the virtuous nephew did in the Snake Valley, This trebuchet can be the overwhelming force in a war, so the virtuous nephew must not be disgusted by the momentary gains and losses. ”
Seeing the somewhat depressed expression on Duan Jian's face, Hei Yan Changzhi said.
"Thank you to the old general, the little nephew will definitely remember the old general's church in the future."
"Rush, rush, rush"
At this moment, all the soldiers in the Turkic army, up to Ashina Guduolu, down to an ordinary soldier, all had only one thought in their hearts, that is, to quickly rush to the front of the Tang army, break through the Tang army's military formation, and kill the Tang army's generals, so as to defeat the Tang army in one fell swoop.
300 zhang, 200 zhang, 100 zhang, 80 zhang............
"Shoot .........."
"Bang Bang Bang"
When the Turkic army rushed within thirty battles of the Tang army's array, an order was given, and it came out from the Turkic army and the Tang army at the same time.
For a while, I saw that there seemed to be two dark clouds rising in the sky, one side was extremely dense but scarce, this was the bow and arrow shot by the Tang army, and the other side was the bow and arrow shot by the Turks.
"Ahh.........h
It was the Turkic soldiers who were in the midst of the attack who fell to the ground with arrows, but although the bows and arrows of the Tang army were extremely dense, they were not numerous, and the impact on the Turkic army was not great.
On the other hand, the Tang army did not pay much attention to the bows and arrows shot by the Turkic soldiers.
These Tang troops defending here are all tribes, although in the Tang army, the cavalry has always occupied a strong position, but the combat effectiveness of the infantry is not weaker than the cavalry, only because there are not many places where the infantry needs to be used, which will cause the phenomenon of the weakness of the Tang Dynasty's infantry soldiers.
In the face of the bows and arrows shot by the Turkic army, the Tang army, which had been prepared, raised the round shields in their hands one after another, one after another, at a sixty-degree angle, and treated most of the vital parts of their bodies and those of their comrades-in-arms strictly, of course, not that other places were not important, but those places were blocked by thick armor, and even if they were really shot by bows and arrows, they would not cause much damage.
"Jingle ......."
As if it was a symphony, the black clouds formed by the rain of arrows came to an end, and in the Tang Army's military formation, except for a few unlucky ones, most of the soldiers were still standing there safe and sound.
"Hmmm......"
Although it was only a vote, the Tang Army's weak losses still shocked the generals of the Turkic army such as Ashina Guduolu, who had always known that the Tang Army could run rampant in the world, in addition to their strong combat power, the most important thing was that their weapons and armor were extremely strong and sharp, and on the battlefield, these two things represented the best things for a soldier to survive.
It's just that at this moment, no matter whether the weapons and equipment of the Tang Army are strong and sharp, it is no longer their turn to think about it, because, at this time, the two armies finally collided together.
"Bang Bang ........."
"Ahhh......h
If the collision between the sword and the human body is iron and blood, then at this moment it is the collision of an iron wall and a bow and arrow made of flesh and blood.
In front of the Tang Army's military array, a row of half-human-high shields were neatly placed, but on these shields, there were spears more than a foot long, judging from the cold light on the head of the gun, this was not a toy, but a real weapon that could kill.
In this case, the entire Tang army camp is like a hedgehog, protecting itself densely, if you want to rush into the military formation, you have to pay a huge price, and these costs are a piece of fresh human life.
"Rush, kill"
Although the Tang army camp looked extremely terrifying, it did not frighten the Turkic soldiers who were not afraid of death, they drove fast horses, like sharp arrows, and rushed to the front of the Tang army's military formation, with the scimitar in their hands, with their own bodies, trying every means to carve out a way forward for their comrades behind them.
