Chapter 096: Unexpected, Reasonable
Woo woo ~ ~
In the Turkic army, the horn sounded first, and Udang couldn't wait to give the order to attack. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Five thousand iron horsemen, with a raging pace, pushed forward flat, and the ground under their feet began to tremble.
The endless cavalry, one wolf flag, under the tearing of the wind, are like rolling raging waves, layer upon layer.
The cold light reflected by the blades almost overshadowed the red sunlight, chilling the sky of the battlefield.
Scimitars as dense as a forest, bursting with killing aura, like the fangs of death.
Five thousand Turkic cavalry roared, marching neatly and heavily, steadily advancing towards the new army.
With each step, the whole earth seemed to tremble.
Qin Feng's experience on the grassland is certainly not as good as that of Wudang, and the Turks also have an absolute advantage in terms of strength, but just like Wudang, Qin Feng showed the same sneer, and he had the same chance of victory.
The formation is not formed, the shape is not formed, and the dense forward, what is this not a live target?
The soldiers on both sides are getting closer and closer, and little by little they appear in each other's field of vision.
"Speed up!"
Qin Feng did not hesitate to give the order to march: but the strange thing was that the new army did not raise the speed, but marched in a uniform state, advancing in a state of trot, as if completely abandoning the speed of the cavalry.
The strangeness of the new army is naturally in the eyes of Udang.
Tell the moving Wudang, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, more vigilance.
"No matter!"
Wu Dangxin said: "Even if they have any ghost ideas, the main thing is that I don't get close." How can they endure me? But...... The opponent's lineup is a little loose, isn't it a guard against our clan's cavalry? Arrange a strange formation, just want to deal with our clan's cavalry. It's a bit naΓ―ve. β
Udang is quite confident in his own tribe's riding and archery, there was once a genius archer in the department, under his inspiration and teaching, the Udang tribe got the true inheritance of this genius, this genius is the hero and pride of the tribe, so, although he has been dead for nearly a hundred years, but the heroic deeds of the invincible hand in the desert have always inspired the entire tribe, almost all the tribe's teenagers, in their youth regarded it as their idol and role model to learn. As a result, the Wu tribe is superior to all the steppe people who are also Turkic tribes in archery. When it comes to the overall archery ability, in the entire Turkic Ukrainian tribe it is said that he is second, and no one dares to say first.
Because of this, the Wu tribe has a famous grassland cavalry and archery troops, they are only equipped with bows and quivers and external scimitars, and do not have any long weapons, using the characteristics of cavalry to come and go freely like the wind, supplemented by the characteristics of the tribe good at shooting, the grassland cavalry is used on the battlefield, has always been invincible.
This is also where Udang's confidence lies, he didn't think about attacking and killing the new army head-on at all, but intended to annihilate the new army with kite-flying tactics, relying on the habits of the Turks, and relying on the characteristics of their Wu tribe.
He didn't believe that this scattered army of less than a thousand men could be compared to the people on their horseback in terms of cavalry and archery?
Udang was so confident in their tribe's cavalry that he played the bone flute around his neck and used the sound of the flute to direct his people into battle.
With the sound of bone flutes one after another, the cavalry of the Wu tribe invariably took off their war bows, and held the arrow feathers in their mouths, preparing for the first wave of galloping.
The cavalry of the new army on the opposite side seemed to have given up the speed of the cavalry and were slowly advancing, but the cavalry of the Wu tribe was advancing rapidly, making the distance between each other closer and closer.
Three hundred steps!
Two hundred and fifty steps!
Two hundred steps!
One hundred and ninety steps!
One hundred and seventy steps!
One hundred steps!
β¦β¦
Soon!
Udang looked at the new army like a slow target, and a fiery light flashed in his eyes......
Soon, soon!
Generally speaking, the effective range of the Turks is one hundred and fifty paces, but the cavalry archery troops of the Ukrainian tribe are mainly cavalry archery, and they need to constantly shoot arrows to ensure their lethality, so all war bows are short bows that are conducive to horse archery, and the range is closer than that of ordinary Turkic soldiers, between one hundred and thirty or forty paces, but the endurance has increased significantly.
Udang's eyes widened, waiting for the distance between the two sides to enter one hundred and thirty paces, the moment when the most favorable range would be.
At this moment, Udang hurried out of the battle horse, took his bow and wound it, and suddenly found that the dazzling sunlight made him almost unable to open his eyes, and, more deadly, the direction of the wind was blowing from the enemy's side. And at this moment, the new army took out something from behind......
"Not good," Udang suddenly thought of a legend, and was immediately frightened! "Spread out, spread out!"
One by one, the new army, which was advancing slowly, took out the javelins that had been prepared long from behind......
"Come in, wind!"
Qin Feng gave an order, and the new army suddenly attacked, and when the two sides were close to more than eighty paces, nearly a thousand javelins roared and stabbed at the Turks with a terrifying sound.
Throughout the ages, the strongest of the northern peoples is their cavalry and archery level, although the new army is the strongest in the Tang army, but in terms of cavalry archery level, there is still a considerable gap with the Turks.
Why get the upper hand? Why is Qin Feng happy to see the rising sun?
The reason for this is that these two can minimize the power of the Turkic cavalry.
Udang is also a steppe warrior who can fight well, and he also knows the importance of the sun and the direction of the wind.
It's just that the superiority in strength and the undefeated level of cavalry and archery made him blindly confident.
Once a person is blindly confident, once he underestimates his enemies, then he is not far from death.
Nearly a thousand javelins, taught Udang how to be a qualified leader.
The strength of the arms of the new army is amazing, and with the help of the wind, the javelin shows a terrifying side.
The whistling sky, the javelins in the sky were like poisonous snakes, leaping into formation, flashing a faint blue light in the void.
"Spread out!" Wu Dang was so sad that he gave the order and evacuated to the side.
It's a pity that the idea is good, but the reality is very cruel, in this accelerated gallop, the temporary order to "disperse", even the Turks who are skilled in archery and horses cannot do this.
In an instant, hundreds of Turkic cavalry screamed and fell with their javelins, and the chaotic fluctuations expanded, and the middle area of the dense cavalry formation of the Udang tribe collapsed instantly!
In just one sudden, Udang lost hundreds of soldiers.
Moreover, these people died in a terrible state, some were nailed to the ground with javelins, some even led people and horses to make deadly javelins skewered into "human and horse meat skewers", and some had not finished their breath and were making heart-shaking screams.
Udang was distressed, and unexpectedly found that the casualties were far less than he imagined, and the javelin looked terrifying, but because he used a cavalry formation, the Turkic soldiers left a certain gap between each other, so the first round of javelins only caused three or four hundred casualties.
Thinking of this, Udang already had a plan and shouted, "Keep going, speed up!" β
"Wind!" Wudang's order, Qin Feng also ordered the second round of attacks, the current Turks were distracted by the power of the javelin, and they were in a mess, it was a good time to hurt the enemy, Qin Feng had a keen eye, and after discovering the situation of the Turks, he decisively issued the order for the second wave of attacks.
Qin Feng sneered in his heart: It's better to attack, the two impulses are added together, and the death is even more miserable.
This round of javelins, the lethality is greater, under the action of the two forces, some javelins even take the lives of two people, and because of the blocking of the "human and horse meat skewers" inserted in the ground, the rear row of cavalry advancing at full speed is inevitably sluggish in speed, some people rely on equestrian avoidance, but the people behind collide again, so the first few rows of cavalry hit a person on his back and turned over.
At this time, the third round of guns beckoned again, and this time, it was even more powerful. The new army is also very shrewd, and wherever they see chaos, they beckoned wherever they saw the javelins in their hands.
Three rounds of javelins came down, bringing nearly two thousand lives.
That is, the new army killed more than a third of the Turkic soldiers without a single wound.
"Withdraw!" Seeing that the Turkic cavalry was outflanked from both sides, Qin Feng decisively gave the order to retreat.
And in the process of retreating, the new army was also quite disciplined.
They were divided into two formations, the first column of cavalry after the fourth javelin was shot. One by one, they shot out, and in the first moment, they rushed to the left and right in a line, retreating in a roundabout way.
Nearly 4,000 javelins came one after another, taking away about 1,000 combat strength of the Turks.
When the javelin was finished, it was time to take the bow and arrow, arrow after arrow, sweeping towards the Turkic cavalry with overwhelming momentum, and with the help of the wind, the damage was doubled.
The new army always maintained the same speed as the Turks, but the arrows never stopped, and when they retreated, they skillfully mounted curved horses on horseback to shoot arrows, and then turned around and fired.
Udang was dumbfounded, and the whole person was not good: the other party actually used the same tactics as them: they were going to fly kites, but now they let the other party fly kites. The difference between them made him feel the urge to vomit blood.
As a cavalry expert, he can see it. The other party has made a lot of efforts in this regard, but in terms of the speed of galloping and the flexibility of changing direction, it is far inferior to them, but the other party just occupies the heavenly time, and these two heavenly hours cover up all the shortcomings of the other party, and also reduce the power of their own side to the freezing point. It can be said that Wudang and their hair have not touched each other now, but the other party killed and injured nearly half of their soldiers with five rounds of javelins and several rounds of arrows.
"Yes, that's it! Withdraw, see no! We just walked the dog and slipped away...... I'd rather have one less arrow. Don't let them catch up! Kill him. Qin Feng controlled the distance between the two sides. The tactical style of kite flying was used to the extreme, and he constantly used the advantages of time and distance to consume Wudang's troops.
Udang looked at the soldiers beside him, shot them little by little, fell off the horse, and wanted to die, he couldn't have imagined that he would be planted under the tactics he was best at, after living for most of his life.
In the face of this, he used the style of play almost a thousand times. He had a feeling that there was nothing he could do.
He knows this tactic too well, and this tactic is because of the distance advantage. The beaten side will always be in a passive situation.
Don't underestimate the distance between them, hundreds of paces. This distance is not long, but it is not short. While chasing, the opposite side keeps running again, and from time to time there will be arrows flying to limit the speed. Under the same circumstances, it will take a long time for the chasing party to cross the 100-step distance. Often, when you catch up, your soldiers are almost consumed.
The most difficult thing for Udang to accept is that the other party's command performance is extremely good, and the position is very well facing, and the one who always maintains the trend of slipping away with them, not fast or slow. If he chases quickly, the opposite side runs fast, and if he slows down, the speed of the opposite side will also decrease, and the most effective range of the crossbow arrow will always be maintained.
This made Udang a little discouraged.
For the way of riding and archery, his ancestors have specially studied, how to slip the best, how to slip the most effective, and have no experience.
Udang remembers that when he first learned, his performance was a mess, and it was not until a few years later that he gradually integrated it, and it has been more than 30 years now, like a finger. But the young conductor on the other side was no more than twenty years old, but he commanded appropriately and decently, and there was nothing wrong with him.
Even if he tried everything, he couldn't get close and couldn't get rid of it.
Even if he is an enemy, Udang has to admit that the other party is young and promising.
Wu Dang saw that he couldn't catch up, and he kept attrition, and in the process of chasing and fleeing, they didn't even hurt a single member of the new army, but they lost more than 3,000 people.
Seeing another round of crossbow arrows coming, forty or fifty people and horses rolled to the ground, and finally couldn't support it, and gritted their teeth and shouted: "Withdraw!" β
His "withdrawal" showed that the Turkic soldiers of the Ukrainian tribe were relieved one by one. They used to sneak their enemies like this, watching their enemies chasing behind their butts one by one and eating ashes and arrows, which was very feeling, but now it can be said that it has been thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, and these people who eat ashes and feathers and arrows have become them, and they can't cry. The high morale has long been thrown to grandma's house.
The Turkic soldiers miraculously changed their itinerary: they turned a small circle to the right rear in the same place, and directly used the speed of the forward rush to make a small circle, and the remaining more than 1,000 Turkic soldiers completed the difficult task of retreating at high speed.
Qin Feng, who had been watching the Turkic movements, was amazed by this, in their army, they were able to make such a clean turn at present, perhaps except for Li Shimin's Xuanjia army, the entire Tang Dynasty could not find such a second team.
The Turks have grown up on horseback since they were children, and it is not easy for them to make up for this advantage on horseback.
"Stop...... The back team becomes the front team! β
Qin Feng naturally didn't intend to give up like this, but if they wanted to make a small turn directly in the acceleration like the Turks, and with their superb equestrian turning, it was not in line with reality, so they stopped and turned around on the spot. Although it is slower, at least the formation is not chaotic.
"Haha!" Seeing that the other party changed his formation like this, Wudang couldn't help laughing, and the depression that had been suppressed and beaten in his heart also disappeared a little, and he said in his heart: "It's far from riding and shooting with me." β
Thinking so, it suddenly came to mind.
"Withdraw, speed give me withdraw!" Udang's tone suddenly became agitated.
Do you give back to others in their way?
Qin Feng sneered.
"Stop!"
The defeat of more than 3,000 people without losing one person was definitely a brilliant victory for the new army.
Qin Feng, who saw that it was good, decisively gave the order to stop the pursuit! And then, the new army didn't even look at the Turks and patted their butts! Flashed.
