Chapter Twenty-Six: The Encounter

The arrows whistled, slicing through the air and making a sharp sound, and the soldiers on Li Kuan's side were all elite, all of them were extremely powerful, and they all used three-stone strong bows, and the arrows fired were one point faster than the pistol bullets of later generations. The Turks on the opposite side were not to be outdone, and when it came to cavalry shooting, there was still a very big gap between the Tang army and them in their impression. But this time they miscalculated, the archery skills of the Datang soldiers were not inferior to those of them on the grassland, and in defense, the Datang side was even more because of the iron armor and iron helmet.

So in this confrontation, except for a few soldiers on the Datang side who couldn't dodge and were scratched a little by the arrow, there was no attrition. The Turkic arrows hit the armor with a small spark, but they failed to penetrate the iron armor. On the Turkic side, however, a large number of arrows fell from their horses, and three hundred arrows with great force pierced through their thin leather armor and took away their lives. This time, Datang won completely.

"The Turks are nothing! Let's work hard, shoot one more round and rush up! Li Kuan was relieved to see that there was no attrition, this arrow is only two or three hundred steps away, and it will not take much time for the speed of the war horse to sprint. So Li Kuan decided to shoot a round in a salvo, and then rode his horse to kill, and now that the other party has fallen dozens of people, it should be able to expand the results a little more. After that, I am afraid that it will be necessary to rely on hand-to-hand combat, because the Turks have now begun to disperse, so I am afraid that the salvo will not be very effective.

Sure enough, the second round. After the arrows roared, only a few people on the Turkic side fell off their horses, but the Turks scattered and opened their bows to shoot, which caused Li Kuan and them a lot of trouble. These people are worthy of growing up on horseback, and they are still accurate in shooting while the horses are running.

"Rush! Kill these crumbs! Li Kuan waved his hand and rushed forward first. The horse's hooves trampled on the snow, splashing the www.biquge.info of the pen and the pavilion with a little snow and dust. The leg power of chasing clouds is not blown, and it can be regarded as the top among all the war horses in Datang. So Li Kuan took the lead, holding a horse lance in his hand, and the sharp tip of the spear flashed in the cold wind. The blood grooves that Li Kuan added by himself were even more hideous, like a bloodthirsty beast opening his bloody mouth. Sharp fangs were exposed. The soldiers under Li Kuan's command followed his footsteps, and one by one they put away their longbows and lifted their horses. Form a triangular punch. The sound of horses' hooves began to become uniform, and the ground shook slightly.

"Kill!" A frenzy flashed in the eyes of each of the soldiers. After the first year of Zhenguan, they were selected from the soldiers of various prefectures to enter the Xuanjiawei. From the first day of entering the unit that represents the most elite of the Tang Dynasty. They listened to the veterans talk about the greatest humiliation since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and warned them over and over again that if anyone encounters Turks on the battlefield in the future, they will help them kill a few more, which is an oath that requires the Xuanjiawei. So these people began to go wild, standing up slightly on the horse's back, adjusting the posture of the body with the rhythm of the horse, so as to maximize the horsepower, so that this unrivaled impact force turned into attack power.

The Turks had long bows open. One by one, they spread out in all directions, surrounding Li Kuan and the others. At the same time, two knights quickly departed, heading in the direction of the large army. This is going to ventilate the news, in addition to the vanguard force detected by their scouts, Datang also has a small force into the grassland, and the combat power is strong. Such a small group of enemies come and go like the wind, and the impact on the steppe will be unpredictable. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to leave such an enemy behind us to cause wind and rain in our rear.

Li Kuan and the others didn't notice that when the two knights left the Turkic camp, the two mysterious people who had been following them quietly rode away, and even the Turks who surrounded Li Kuan and the others didn't notice it, and the two of them quietly left from the dead end of everyone's attention as if they didn't exist. Then, not far from the large army of the Turks, two rapid howls came to an abrupt end.

"Just leave? You're not worried? A majestic voice emanated from the body of a mysterious man.

"Worried about what? If the three hundred Xuanjia guards can't defeat the five hundred Turkic soldiers, then they deserve to die there! The hoarse voice of another mysterious man replied.

"Forget it, it's your business, and I won't get involved! Let's go, let's go to the Turkic king's tent first, I can't wait! The mysterious man with a strong voice said, riding his horse and thinking about the depths of the grassland, while behind him, another mysterious man looked in the direction of Li Kuan and them, and let out a long sigh: "I hope you can break through quickly!" Although the Turkic army has not yet received the news, those flat-haired beasts in the sky are not easy! Then he rode his horse after the man in front of him and drifted away.

"Kill ......" Li Kuan plunged into the neck of the Turkic man opposite, and the blood trough suddenly opened the wound, and the red blood spurted out like this, like a blood-red fountain, spraying blood water all around. Li Kuan's head and face were also sprayed countless times, but he didn't care, turned around and pulled out the horse lance, and then swept sideways, blocking the scimitar slashed by another Turk.

"Damn, you Turkic dogs only know how to hold a small knife, don't you know how long and strong an inch is?" Li Kuan laughed, the long rod of the horse lance was retracted, and the tip of the spear was withdrawn and then slashed horizontally, and the sharp tip of the spear made of 100 refined steel pierced the major artery in the neck of the Turk, Li Kuan no longer cared about him, and pounced on another Turk.

"Kill!" When Xuanjiawei saw Li Kuan's bravery, he didn't care about his life one by one, even if the Turkic scimitar was about to cut his body, he didn't care, like a mad tiger. The horse lance in his hand waved, and a little cold light cut through the air in arcs, and the Turks on this line were either shot out of the way, or they directly used their bodies to bear the taste of the iron spear.

Although the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are the most elite Xuanjia guards, they have to be attrition in short-handed combat, and in less than a moment, dozens of soldiers have died in the hands of the Turks, all of whom were hacked to death by scimitars, and they are now lying in the snow, trampled by countless war horses.

Li Kuan listened to the sound of deducting energy points in his ears, and knew that his subordinates had died a lot, this is not good, it has only been two days since he entered the grassland, and there has been such a attrition, so how can he go deep into the grassland in the future? So Li Kuan left his horse lance on the last Turkic soldier who was stabbed to death by him, and tore off the large Mo knife that Li Jing had given him before setting off from the saddle.

"Our brothers are dead, and we want the heads of these Turkic dogs as a sacrifice, and you brothers cut off their heads!" Li Kuan's loud shout made Xuanjiawei even more tyrannical, and some of the Turks on the opposite side also began to scream, and the Turks began to red-eyed.

"Fuck off, you sons of a bitch! Kill ......" Li Kuan split a Turkic man in front of him in half with a knife, spat at his corpse like killing a chicken, and then raised his eyes to look around.

In the distance, a Turk rode a horse obliquely into the battle group, approached the back of a Tang soldier, raised the scimitar in his hand, and slashed down, the place where the Turk chose to cut down was the junction of the armor, where there was no hard armor leaf, only a thin layer of animal skin. With a brush, one of the Tang soldiers' arms was unloaded, and they could no longer hold the horse lance in their hands, and then the Turks showed a cruel smile, like a cat playing with mice. Li Kuan happened to see this scene, and his eyes were not split: "Dog thief!" "In the midst of the shouting, he rode his horse to that side.

At this moment, the Tang soldier showed a crazy and bloodthirsty look on his face, he jumped directly off the horse, pounced on the Turkic man with a smile on his face, and roared in his mouth: "Turkic dog, I||your mother!" All at once he jumped onto the Turk's horse, opened his mouth and bit the Turk's throat. Li Kuan seemed to hear a click, which was the sound of teeth crushing the Adam's apple. Both of them tumbled off their horses and were never heard again.

Li Kuan couldn't help but feel distressed, and brandished the Mo knife: "I, Li Kuan, swear, I will slaughter the grassland and avenge my brother!" As he spoke, two more Turkic soldiers were split, and blood stained his armor and a little bit of flesh in his hair. These were all left behind by the Turks, and Li Kuan has not been injured until now. His armor was much better than that of the soldiers, and his skills were far superior to those of ordinary soldiers.

"Breakout! The army of the Turks will come at any moment! Xue Wanche rode his horse covered in blood and came to Li Kuan's side, he had also killed a lot of Turks, who were also covered in blood, and there was a wound on his shoulder. It seems that even a general like Xue Wanche in the chaotic army may not be able to retreat in his entirety.

"Brothers, break out! Don't be in love! Li Kuan was angry and shouted: "Follow me!" Then he went out, Xue Wanche followed closely behind him to guard his back, and then the soldiers continued to join, gradually forming a triangular charge formation again, the pointed heads are Li Kuan and Xue Wanche, these two are infinitely powerful generals, and the weapons in their hands are also large Mo knives, whether it is a straight cut or a sweep, it can always split the Turks into two.

The sound of horses' hooves, the sound of fighting, and the wah-wow cries of the Turks are intertwined at this moment, but Li Kuan's side has become silent, the breakthrough is very simple, and it will soon be out of the encirclement, after all, the Turks are not much more than Li Kuan, so the encirclement is very weak.

Breaking out of the encirclement, Li Kuan's face was gloomy, it was obvious that he was very unhappy, this was the first encounter, Xuanjiawei actually lost half a hundred, how many times would these three hundred people fight such a battle? This is not good news for Li Kuan.

"Let's go, don't fall in love with the war anymore, let's go to the depths of the steppe, stir up the Turkic rear, withdraw when we encounter a large group of enemies, and eat the small ones! No more encounters, damn it! Li Kuan burst into foul language, these words are very common in the army.

"After a great loss, I killed two or three hundred Turks, and fifty brothers died!" Liu Wei's face was full of pain. (To be continued......)
