Chapter 285: Spirit Stone Encounter (Part II)
When the soldiers of the hussar battalion heard the order of Yujuluo to form a formation to block the enemy, even if a group of crossbowmen strode forward from the queue, they squatted in front of the Turkic cavalry horses in a row, stretched out their bows and arrows, and fired a volley at the oncoming Turkic cavalry, without waiting for the other party to rush in front of the crossbowmen.

The Turkic brigade slowed down, and shot another cold arrow from the phalanx, and immediately several Turkic cavalry were hit by arrows, turned over and fell under the horses. Taking advantage of the moments when the opponent's offensive was forced to stop, the chariot troops in the hussar battalion changed their formation and formed a boxy phalanx, completely blocking the road for the Turkic iron cavalry to rush to Lingshibao Town.
Yu Juluo covered Pei Qiantong, and after fighting with more than a dozen Turkic iron horsemen for a few rounds, he immediately looked back and saw that the prescription formation was already set up not far behind him, and successfully blocked the offensive of the Turkic cavalry to the town.
You must know that although the phalanx has been formed, if there is no commander in the formation to command and dispatch in the center, it will be like a dead formation, which can only play the role of blocking the opponent's attack, but cannot see the right time to give the incoming enemy a deadly counterattack. It is precisely because Yu Juluo is well versed in the essence of this formation, and seeing that although the soldiers behind him have successfully formed a phalanx, and no one in the battalion can take on the important task of commanding the soldiers to change the formation and counterattack the enemy army, so he is so anxious to return to the formation, and command the soldiers in the formation to launch a counterattack against the Turkic iron cavalry in a timely manner and completely force them back.
Yu Juluo slashed left and right, killed a bloody road, and Pei Qiantong and the two of them one after the other, seeing that they were about to tear a gap in the Turkic cavalry ranks, passed through, and returned to the phalanx, at this moment, a long arrow was shot from behind the two of them, "whoosh", impartially, and shot the war horse under Pei Qiantong's crotch, the horse couldn't bear the pain, pounced forward and knelt on the ground, and fell Pei Qiantong on the horse.
Pei Qiantong is worthy of being a person with martial arts, although he fell off the horse unexpectedly, his reaction was very agile, and as soon as his body landed, he made a move "carp fight" and jumped up. However, before he could jump up and stand firm, a thunderbolt rushed out of the Turkic ranks, and the man on the horse did not allow Pei Qiantong to have any chance to fight back, stretched out his hand from the horse, picked up Pei Qiantong, took him to his armpit, turned around and left.
Yu Juluo heard that the sound behind him was wrong, reined in the reins of the horse, looked back, and saw a big man rushing out of the Turkic ranks, capturing Pei Qiantong alive, who had fallen off the horse, and wanted to return to the queue.
Yu Juluo urged the horse to chase after him, and waved the big knife in his hand, wanting to slash the Turkic man with one knife and rescue Pei Qiantong from his hands. Before he could raise the cloud sword in his hand, he heard the sound of the bowstring ringing, and a long arrow shot out from the Turkic team on the opposite side again, flying straight towards his face.
Yu Juluo secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly swung his knife to block the long arrow, but unexpectedly, the first long arrow was blocked by him and fell to the ground, followed by three long arrows shooting at him in three ways.
Yu Ju Luo hurriedly swung his knife and arrow, knocking away the two horses that shot at his crotch, but he didn't have time to block the one that shot at his heart, and in his eagerness, Yu Ju Luo saw that it was too late to swing the knife and knock off this long arrow, so he tried his best to turn away on the horse, this long arrow did not hit his heart, but an arrow was nailed into his left shoulder, and it hurt so much that Yu Juluo shook twice on the horse's back, and almost fell off the horse.
In the phalanx of the hussar camp, a sergeant had already seen the two generals in the formation, one was taken away alive by the other party, and the other was also hit by an arrow in the shoulder, so more than a dozen infantry soldiers with shields and short knives rushed out of the formation, covering Yujuluo and retreating into the formation in a hurry.
Since his debut, Yujuluo has always rarely encountered opponents, even if he is a red-haired young man Zhang Zhongjian, who has been a master of the world since he was a child, and his martial arts are superb, he will inevitably fall behind, but tonight in Lingshi Castle, he can't dodge an arrow shot by the Turks, and he can't save Pei Qiantong in time.
Under the cover of more than a dozen foot soldiers, he retreated to the formation, and he still felt a fire in his heart, and with a "poof" sound, he pulled out the long arrow that was shot into his shoulder, and put it in front of him to take a closer look. The sergeants next to him couldn't help but smack their tongues in amazement when they saw the commander of his battalion so fierce.
This long arrow is about a foot longer than the ordinary arrows used by the Sui army, and the arrow is about a finger wider than the ordinary arrowhead, and the arrow made of stainless steel glows with a faint blue light, which is extremely sharp.
Approaching the torch in the hand of the sergeant beside him, Yu Jura saw very well that the arrow of the long arrow that had wounded him was engraved with a wolf's head with a bloody mouth.
Yu Ju Luo grew up in the north since he was a child, and he knew that the Turks had always regarded themselves as wolf tribes, and thought that they were descendants of wolves, and the arrow of this long arrow was clearly engraved with a wolf head, obviously the person who shot the arrow should be a prominent person among the Turkic tribes, recalling that the Turkic interpreter who was swept to death by Pei Qiantong not long ago had mentioned a Turkic prince, Yu Juluo was shocked: Could it be that he encountered the main Turkic force in Lingshi tonight? This Turkic prince who shot and injured himself was so superb in archery that he was also good at arrowing?
Yu Juluo stared at the wolf-headed sword in his hand in a daze, forgetting the blood gushing from his shoulder. A sergeant couldn't look at it, so he hurriedly found a cotton cloth to bandage the wound.
Although he returned to the formation, but Pei Qiantong fell into the hands of the Turks, Yu Juluo endured the pain on his shoulder, eager to snatch back Pei Qiantong from the Turks, and immediately ordered the whole battalion of soldiers, the formation remained unchanged, urged the chariot, and slowly advanced towards the Turkic cavalry.
The leader of this Turkic cavalry team claims to be one of the best in the entire Turkic tribe in archery, and today he shot four "wolf arrows" one after another, but only shot and killed one horse of the other party, and shot and injured one person, and was secretly surprised in his heart at the moment: It is reported that Yang Shuang, the new marshal of Hebei Province of the Sui Dynasty, has led a heavy army to march eastward and gathered under Linyu Pass. According to the strength of the troops in the past, the 500 Turkic iron cavalry he brought tonight could at least be worth the 3,000 troops of the Sui Dynasty, but unexpectedly, he was blocked outside Lingshibao Town by a team of less than 300 people, and he could not advance.
Thinking of this, he was still not satisfied with capturing one of the opposing generals, pointed the long sword in his hand forward, and the five hundred Turkic iron cavalry under his command immediately lined up towards the phalanx led by Yujuluo.
