The full-speed impact of Ashina Mohe under the city was already out of control, and it seemed that there were only more than four hundred steps left from the Sui army's lance array in front, and all the Turkic knights shot out the bows and arrows in their hands, and then skillfully hung up the big bow, held the lance, stood on the horseshoe with both feet, pulled the reins with one hand, and clamped the lance tightly under his armpit with the other, so that destroying a pistol charge was enough to crush any infantry into a pile of pulp!

Four hundred steps, three hundred and fifty steps, the Turkic knights let out a wolf roar in unison, shaking the heavens and the earth, with the momentum of their full-speed impact, like an unstoppable black dragon, heading straight for the Sui army's big array, some Turkic knights were pleasantly surprised to see that the Sui soldiers at the front had begun to throw down their lances, as if they were about to escape! This is the most common script they see when they crisscross the Western Regions, and the iron cavalry rushes to kill, followed by the enemy holding their heads and jumping on the rats, and then they are crushing and chasing all the way!

But the Sui soldiers who threw away the lance, one by one suddenly took over an infantry crossbow from the hands of their companions behind them, they threw away the shield full of feather arrows, held the crossbow in both hands, and did not even need to aim, pulled the trigger three times in a row, the sound of the machine spring was endless, and round after round of crossbow sea came towards the Turkic cavalry!

The four-stone infantry crossbow, at a distance of less than two hundred paces, was enough to pierce the Xiaoguo knights in double chain mail, and the Turkic knights threw their shields aside in order to carry out the pistol charge, and this time they were shot squarely, although their horses were brave and swift. But there was no armor. This round of crossbows shot at the heads and chests of hundreds of horses in the first row. The crossbow arrows shot out a rain of blood, and the unbalanced war horses staggered forward one by one, lifting the Turkic cavalry who were also hit by arrows more than ten steps forward, and rushed out of a blood-stained trace in the yellow sand like a human body surfing in the sea, before finally dying of anger.

The Turkic riders in the back row, relying on their superb riding skills, or leaped over. Or bypassed the corpses of the men and horses of the companions who fell in front, only slowed down slightly, and quickly continued to attack, and the crossbowmen in the front row of the Sui army took advantage of this gap to take the second repeater from the hands of the companions behind, and did not aim, directly at the dense Turkic iron cavalry in front of them, like a wall advancement, and fired three repeater salvos again!

This time, due to the distance of another hundred paces, the penetration power of the crossbow arrow was further enhanced. Many of the Turkic knights on horseback were shot by the oncoming crossbow arrows and flew straight backwards from their horses. Some of the war horses were still galloping forward, and the knights had already fallen to the ground behind, this round shot down two or three hundred Turkic cavalry, after two rounds of crossbow arrows, the first wave of 1,500 Turkic knights had been discounted by more than half, but the rest of the people were still red-eyed, waving the lance in their hands, standing on the horses, and launching a deadly assault at full speed towards the Sui army array seventy or eighty paces away, this time, it was impossible to have a bow and crossbow to stop the thunderous blow of these knights!

Ashina Mohe didn't say a word, standing in the cavalry formation behind, watching the first three waves of cavalry are heading towards the Sui army's large array, launching the final impact, he glanced at the city, the Sui army's bows and arrows have no meaning of stagnation at all, and the catapult standing at the gate of the camp also began to launch a huge stone towards the head of the city at this time, and the battlements that were smashed on the city wall often fell together with the corpses of four or five people, and the defenders at the head of the city originally planned to survive this round of arrow rain attacks, and then counterattack, However, after these boulders were rained down on the city wall, these Turkic archers also gave up this plan and began to flee with their heads in their hands, and evacuated as quickly as possible from the corridors of the urn city and the lower city.

On the other side, Bayegu's cavalry also seemed to have encountered the bottleneck of the attack, and in the Sui army's large camp, a steady stream of longlance soldiers and sword and axe men rushed out, rushing towards the front line where the infantry and cavalry were mixed and fighting together, and the archers of the Sui army, who had originally suppressed the city, also began to run out of the infantry phalanx one after another, turning to the right, lined up in two or three columns of archers, turning round rounds of death rain to Bayegu's cavalry, and the screams of people and the neighing of horses sounded together. The wind passed to Ashina Mohe, making the scar on his face jump again and again.

Ashina Mohe finally understood the intentions of the Sui army, the city wall and the Sui army's camp, like two natural separators, limited the width of the Turkic cavalry's charge to about three or four miles, at this distance, even if the fifteen thousand cavalry were divided into ten teams, they could only barely deploy, and it was impossible to use the mobility of the cavalry to outflank them. The moat on the left and the barracket on the right are the best protection for the flanks of the Sui army, and they are definitely prepared, not rushed!

Ashina Mohe's teeth were gritted, no matter what, even if the light cavalry in the camp and Bayegu's troops were all damaged, as long as his own troops could forcibly break through the Sui army's defense line head-on, there was still a possibility of turning defeat into victory, he believed in the strength of his subordinates, this army swept the entire Western Regions, and today, it would not be an exception! And although the Sui army has a strong bow and a fast crossbow, its flesh and blood cannot resist the iron cavalry that is only dozens of steps away and is attacking at full speed!

The eyes of the Turkic knights in the front row have become blood-red, and many people are like wolves that have smelled blood, they have stuck out their tongues, their eyes widened, there is only the flickering sound of wind between their ears, and the other mouths and noses are all wide open to counteract the pressure of the eardrums that seem to explode when the speed is too fast, and the long lance has been flattened, and the Sui crossbowmen in front of them are panicking to the wings and the back, catching up and trampling them to death! That's what almost every Turkic knight thinks!

Suddenly, there was a dull horn sound in the Sui army's military array, and there were probably hundreds of horns being blown at the same time, with the sound of this horn, the original armor was bright, and the Sui army array that kept flashing suddenly exploded, and every other zhang or so distance, there was a cart carrying a knife board was quickly pushed out, and on the handrail behind the long car, there were three to four Sui soldiers on each side of the car, shouting and pushing forward, and behind them, there were dense Sui army lance infantry holding a long lance and pointing diagonally upward!

It's too fast! The Turkic cavalry didn't even have time to stop their galloping horses, and at this moment, all the Sui crossbowmen in the front row quickly drilled through the narrow gap between the carts. Occasionally a few guys who didn't have time to squeeze in. Also in a hurry or crouch down. Let the cart rush over his head, or simply jump on the cart, and then jump over the blade, and a few guys who don't bounce well will be unlucky, and they will be hung on the blade alive, and die a miserable death.

Ashina Mohe's eyes widened, he never dreamed that the Sui army would hide these carts behind the infantry, because the front row was a dense crossbowman. The blade of the cart was not erected at first, and it was not even seen at all that the killing intention in this array was not seen at all, and by the time the cart pushed out of the crowd, it was too late for the Turks to react.

The dull sound of collision is endless, and the speed and strength of the ironclad cavalry when they hit at full speed are still very terrifying, and it is precisely because of this that all the carts are pushed by six to eight strong men, that is, they are going to withstand this round of impact of the cavalry, and there are more than three hundred Turkic cavalry in the front row. They all hit the wheels in front of the cart, and the whole person was knocked out of the horse. Flying forward, he didn't take two steps before he hit the blade, and the sharp blade tore the iron armor of the cavalrymen to shreds under the effect of this huge impact, and many of the cavalry were cut into pieces of minced flesh alive, and the internal organs flowed all over the cart.

In just an instant, the second batch of cavalry also crashed into the array composed of bladed chariots, because the front row of horses were full of corpses, this time their impact force was much smaller than the first round, many people tripped over the wounded horses on the ground, and then their own horses lost their front hooves, and they were lifted off the horse's back, but thanks to the blessing of the weakened momentum, there were not many people like those buddies in front of them who rushed directly to the blade and became hob meat.

But Rao is so, falling on the yellow sand that has been soaked in blood, it still makes them dizzy, and before they have time to get up, they are run over by the heavy wheels of the cart, screaming and turning into a pool of iron-clad blood, even if some lucky guys, crawling through the gap between the cars, they were immediately stabbed by the Sui infantry who followed behind, and finally cut off the head alive, becoming the props of others' military exploits.

Ashina Mohe saw that these elite ironclad cavalry were all his subordinates, who had fought in the Western Regions for ten years, all relying on these more than 10,000 iron cavalry, relying on the taxes of the Yiwu country and the relationship between his brother Chuluo Khan, he finally changed all the cavalry in his headquarters into ironclad knights, but he didn't expect a charge down, not only did he almost not kill the enemy, but let the more than 1,500 cavalry of the first wave of impact all reimbursement, which made him feel more heartbroken than tearing off a piece of flesh from his heart.

Ashina Mohe roared hoarsely: "Hurry up and give the order, the whole army stops, use bows and arrows instead, use rockets, and shoot these dogs!" ”

The second wave of cavalry, which had followed the first wave of cavalry to assault forward, was about three hundred steps away from the front team, and from the moment they saw the brothers in front of them crashing into the sword and shield, they consciously slowed down, and stopped almost a hundred steps in front of the chariot array, and there were horse corpses all over the front, and the advancing cart ruthlessly ran over these war horses, and they watched the robes in front of them being slaughtered like this, and their eyes were about to erupt with fire, as soon as they heard the order under the horn of Ashina Mohe Tong Guò, After lighting the fire, he took out the bow and arrow coated with sulfur oil and steadily pushed it towards his Sui chariot, pouring out pieces of fire rain.

On the chariot of the Sui army, there are more than ten sandbags piled up behind the sword and shield, one is to prevent the momentum of the enemy's war horse from being too strong, and directly penetrate the knife board, and the other is also for the purpose of fire prevention, the temperature in the desert is extremely high, the climate is dry, this is the most likely to catch fire, sure enough, when the Turkic cavalry began to put rockets, the strong men of the Sui army's chariot cart stopped one after another, and instead threw the sandbags from the back of the car to the baffle in front of the car, and the rocket arrows shot the heavy sandbags, which were extinguished when they entered the bag. Even if a few Sui chariots caught fire at the beginning, and a few sandbags were thrown upwards, the fire was quickly extinguished, and there were almost no substantial losses except for dozens of Sui soldiers who were shot and fell by this bow and arrow.

Xue Shixiong had already stepped down from the platform, and at this time he was riding a horse with a green class, a purple-haired horse, holding a big knife in one hand, while observing the battle situation ahead, all the qiē were expected by him, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer: "Turkic cavalry, are you all this ability?" Herald! Crossbowmen step forward and shoot at hostile shots! ”

The lance infantrymen heard the sound of the horn in the rear, consciously concentrated in the middle, compressed the distance between the soldiers to the maximum, leaving a distance of two zhang wide between the teams, and marched backwards by the way, leaving a space of more than a hundred paces between the line and the carts.

The 1,500 crossbowmen who had retreated to the rear and re-equipped their three-shot infantry crossbows, as well as the 2,000 archers who had been suppressing the city just now, all rushed to the front from this gap, occupying the space of more than 100 paces at once.

These well-trained elites of the Sui army quickly lined up in less than five minutes, with the crossbowmen in front, relying on the cover of the baffle of the cart, sending out bursts of arrow rain towards the dense cavalry formation opposite, while the archers were divided into three columns in the rear, and stepped forward in turn, pouring waves of arrow rain into the sky at the fastest speed, turning into a dark cloud that covered the sky and the sun, covering and cleaning the Turkic knights who kept firing in front.

The Turkic cavalry, who did not have any support and cover at all, and could not get enough acceleration to increase the power of the bow and arrows by rushing forward, showed their disadvantages in the confrontation with the Sui army's walking crossbowmen, Xue Shixiong carefully chose this battlefield, the width between the moat and the large camp was only three or four miles, and it was completely impossible for the Turkic cavalry to outflank them, and it was even impossible for them to form a good cavalry ring, which could shoot arrows in turn, and could shoot against the Sui army. There were only more than 1,500 cavalry in the second wave.

Moreover, the cavalry's two-stone recurve bow is not comparable with the infantry's four-stone crossbow arrows, and the infantry compound bow with two stones and three buckets, and the thick iron armor on the body is certainly an excellent protective tool when rushing into hand-to-hand combat, but when the bow is drawn and the arrow is released, the armor on the arm makes people feel heavy after pulling the bow ten times or eight times, and they can no longer lift it, let alone exert their strength.
