Chapter 21: The Bloody War

This is a king-to-king war, Xuanjia elite cavalry after a burst of killing, followed by the elite soldiers of Tiance Mansion and the elite of the women's army out of the city, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to fight all the way and rush all the way, it is short to write, in fact, it has been a little half an hour since the sneak attack, the Turkic rebel army has a hidden phenomenon of gathering, and there are many Turkic elite soldiers who withstood the sneak attack army of Yu Chigong and Duan Dechao, and spontaneously defended the king's chrysanthemum.

But when the last straw appeared, which was also Li Xiu's masterpiece, it was selected from among the men who assisted in the defense, and five hundred elite soldiers with five thousand strong men borrowed from Tuli, each armed with a simple spear (a wooden pole of more than a meter plus a bronze or iron spear head). Just like this, the army composed of the strong men of the Northland began to plough the ground with arms, and they were all armed with spears, and they stabbed all the creatures in their way. Because they were raided when people were most sleepy, most of the cavalry in the chaos turned into infantry, and even if they were one-on-one, they were no better than the Niangzi Army and the Tiance Army in the battle, not to mention the 5,500-strong phalanx of 5,500 people who gathered together to plow the ground at an even speed.

Jieli Khan looked at the Turkic elite who were scattered and fleeing, and the little nephew who could be said to be a stable camp, how could he not see that he was betrayed with his intuition of fighting an old battle, and he was forced to helplessly order his henchman slave to stay behind to block the Xuanjia cavalry, and he left Daxu only with a hundred cavalry guards to continue to rectify the chaotic army, hoping to exchange space for time so that he could regroup the army in the distance.

"Big shield preparation", Li Xiu, who was guarding the city with a small colonel and 2,000 soldiers and civilians on the city wall, was watching the blood boiling, and heard thousands of Turks let out such a loud roar. The order was shouted by Shooter and his guards, but Li Xiu, who was standing on the city wall, couldn't hear it.

Hundreds of simple wooden shields were hastily sent to the front line, and the grassland barbarians and my Han family sons fought for dozens of generations, and they had full fear of our Han family's strong crossbows since the beginning of Qin.

They knew very well that cavalry did not start a battle with each other with swords, guns, swords, and halberds. Even if it is a battle with the cavalry, as long as the other party is the elite of the Han family, it will be baptized by a strong crossbow, and at a distance of about 100 steps, the cavalry of the Xuanjia Army will hold a strong crossbow.

"Soso, Suo, Suo!"

The rain of arrows in the sky flew into the air, and then, with a huge inertia, it slanted down like raindrops.

Just when the Turks breathed a sigh of relief and came out from behind the wooden shield to prepare for a white-knuckle battle, the sound of breaking the wind sounded again, "dodge is coming again" Some veterans who had fought with the Han people hurriedly reminded them, but it was still too late, this was actually a simple change in tactics, three shots were 100 steps outside the range of the Turkic bow and arrow, and the first shot was strong to shoot three times in units of 1,000 people, because it was dark night, the threat of bows and arrows with reduced accuracy was not great, on the other hand, the Tang army was a face attack on the archers standing behind the wooden shield, Under the baptism of 3,000 crossbow arrows, the Turks did not say that they suffered heavy casualties, but they were also disrupted in a formation that had just been formed. In fact, this was also a helpless move, the Tang army could not quickly open the bow on the horse, in order to suppress the Turkic archers, so Li Xiu thought of a three-stage shooting, and with good coordination, the Xuanjia cavalry still completed the intended goal.

After shooting three waves of arrows, the Xuanjia Elite Cavalry gave up the strong crossbow in his hand and picked up the lance-shaped spear hanging on the victory hook (it can be considered a copycat version of the horse lance, because the complete horse lance is expensive to build and takes too long to build, so it can still be explained that the elite cavalry used a spear similar to the horse lance). )

At this time, Li Xiu saw that there were two cavalry teams of about 500 people, under the leadership of their respective cavalry generals, leaving the formation and circling the two wings of the Turkic turmoil.

About thirty paces in front of the Turkic array, hundreds of arrows were shot out in a sparse manner, except for a dozen unlucky cavalrymen who were shot through the gaps in their armor and the vital points of their horses and lost the motivation to continue the charge, and there were less than two thousand horsemen left, and the king who was guarding them fearlessly crashed into the Turkic main formation, which numbered about four thousand horsemen.

No matter how strong the enemy is, don't ask how many enemies there are! Let's just charge! This is also the idea that Li Shimin has always instilled in this elite horse, so he does not hesitate to follow and launch a charge again and again. This is also the Li family's Hu blood, and if you let an orthodox emperor who has been educated by Confucianism since childhood, charge with the army and count the history, it is only two palms. You must know that the charge does not necessarily die under the enemy's sword, and if you are not careful, you will also die under the iron hooves of your own people, which means that Li Shimin has been the king of Qin since he was a child, not the prince, if he was a prince since he was a child, and was educated by Confucianism, Chinese history would have one less brave emperor.

"Charge and crush them!" Qin Qiong, the fierce general who must be the first in every battle, took the lead in engaging the enemy, and at this time, he roared out with internal force to deter the enemy.

Two thousand horsemen and two thousand horses, under the leadership of their respective generals, followed their king, like a sharp sword, a quick sword, a mountain, a long river, fearlessly, through the Turkic army, it was such a charge, the Turkic cavalry gathered in a hurry was tragically pierced.

The huge kinetic energy of the Xuanjia cavalry charging up could be stopped by the Turkic cavalry, which was not a hasty army and did not even fully run the horses. However, this was only the beginning, just after completely piercing the enemy formation, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, asked the general Qin Qiong to continue to charge with a thousand horsemen, and he took the remaining 700 people to replace their weapons with sabers, and began the slaughter along the blood that came out.

Qin Qiong took the relatively intact thousand cavalry for half a circle, and re-entered the formation of the Turkic army, because of the loss of the Chinese army, Daxu was ruthlessly cut off, and a generation of masters shot the Pingyang princess's shooter, in front of the two thousand Xuanjia cavalry, they were also powerless to return to the sky, and made the last charge for their master Jieli.

The Turkic elite, who had lost their last pillar, allowed Qin Qiong to penetrate the military formation again, and the two partial divisions that had been harassing on the two wings seized the opportunity and crashed into the two wings of the Turks very tacitly, and at that moment the rout began. Li Xiu, who had been watching the battle from the city, said to the helmet who had been guarding by his side: "Sister order all the young men and women gathered to go out of the city, remember to take down all the heads of the Turks, don't capture the king, return the Turkic body in the Turkic way, let all the women bring back our wounded and corpses, and everyone has to work hard at the moment of the great enemy." ”

The helmet looked at the killing aura exuded by the little person at this moment, and this was the same as the little His Royal Highness Yan Wang who was coquettish in the princess's arms and smiled at everyone every day with his big black eyes. The helmet, who didn't dare to think about it any more, immediately went down to the city to give the order.

(Here is an explanation that women in ancient times also participated in labor production, and those who could stay at home were at least small landlords' families, and the kind of yeoman farmers who came from one hectare could barely feed seven or eight people, and in that era when a lot of labor was needed, it was impossible for ordinary peasant women to stay at home and do housework.) On the contrary, because the ability to work is lower than that of men, they have to bear a lot of miscellaneous items. Of course, in ancient China, women who were wives still had a considerable status, and those who were treated as goods and cattle and horses were concubines, and ancient China has always been a monogamous and polygamous concubine system. )
