"The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, and the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep appear. I said, I really haven't seen such a scene, my eyes are full of grass, and I feel dizzy when I see it. ”

"Haha...... I'm also dizzy, and the scenery that my lord said is obviously not something we can experience. ”

Several officers began to make trouble again, and in this endless grassland, they really couldn't find a lot of fun, and the officers and men could only fight with each other when they were resting.

The quiet lake is still shining in the sun's light, flashing with silver light, and above the green earth, green waves are swaying in the wind. Around this temporary barracks, rows of horse-drawn carriages and spears were set up outside the barracks, and hundreds of high platforms sprung up like mushrooms after a rain around the barracks walls, these are arrow towers and lookouts.

The figures of the archers of the Xiaoguo Army loomed on these high platforms, with rows of improvised earth ridges, rows of fences made of car plates, and heavy ballistas scattered in the four corners. On the side of this camp is this small lake, which is used for the big camp to draw water.

"Knock...... Knock knock ......" A series of horses' hooves came from the west, and a moment later, dozens of spies galloped back from outside the camp.

"I don't know if the Turks have been attracted, they keep going like this, but they can't do it. All the credit has been taken by the cavalry, let's drink the northwest wind. An officer muttered to himself.

They are the infantry troops of the first town, the first town has five capitals, two are cavalry, and three are foot soldiers. According to the plan, the cavalry and infantry were not directly linked, the cavalry moved in front, and the foot soldiers responded in the rear, otherwise the booty and prisoners were collected, and at the same time the three-light policy that the cavalry had not yet completed was completed.

"General, the spies reported that about 10,000 Turkic cavalry are now coming to us, judging by their marching speed, their subordinates guess that they are preparing to operate at night." In the handsome tent, Tang Niu, the commander of Sandu, said in a deep voice. The former lieutenant, after making many meritorious contributions, and after studying at the Armament Academy, he was finally promoted to the rank of lieutenant, and his military rank was the lieutenant of the light car, which was the second rank among the lieutenants.

After Li Chenfeng, the general of the First Town Town Army, read the information that came back, he ordered in a deep voice: "Very good, the opportunity we waited for has finally come, and you can't hold it back in your heart." The people of the cavalry have a lot of credit, and you infantry only get some small credit behind the cavalry, so you must be dissatisfied. Today, I'll let you take a good look for a while. In accordance with the training requirements, strengthen your defense tonight and prepare for a counterattack. ”

It has been more than half a month since the army of the four towns entered the grassland land, and according to Zhao Xun's requirements, it was gradually advanced, without rash advance, mainly to kill the enemy and loot, and the rest of the lieutenants were secondary. Therefore, for most of the past half a month, there have been no large-scale battles, but there have been quite a few small-scale battles. He killed more than 50,000 Turkic troops, and for this reason, he left more than 20,000 people. However, more than 100,000 young people accompanied him, and they were quickly replenished from it.

In addition, in this half a month, the Xiaoguo army obtained more than 200,000 cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock, and 20,000 Turkic women. As for the men and the elderly, the Xiaoguo Army is not needed. This is also the course of action of the Turks in the territory of Dayan, and the Xiaoguo army is just borrowing. In addition, more than 10,000 Han slaves were rescued, of which seven became women. More than 20 Turkic tribes were destroyed successively.

Although the cavalry was more successful, Li Chenfeng still stayed in the infantry capital. First, as the commander-in-chief, he doesn't need to snatch these credits, and it stands to reason that he has his share in any credit. Second, in addition to the Sandu infantry, there are also 30,000 young and strong men who transport the grain and grass materials of a town army. The responsibility here is heavy, and he can't be careless.

This time, the cavalry was responsible for the capture of the first town, 60,000 head of livestock, 5,000 Turkic women and more than 5,000 Han Chinese people captured by the Turks back to Dingzhou. Therefore, this Turkic people have found the infantry of the Xiaoguo army.

Of course, Li Chenfeng is not afraid. In addition to having confidence in his subordinates, but also because of the confidence of the more than 10,000 young people who still remain in the barracks, they are also the reserve soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army, and they are also soldiers when they take weapons. In addition, the four towns are connected to each other. Although the cavalry of the first town all went back, the cavalry of the other three towns did not leave, because they took turns to escort the young men of the baggage brigade to and fro.

In addition to these, Li Chenfeng also had confidence in the earth-shattering thunder stored in the camp. By now, the Turks had seen a little earth-shattering thunder, and Rao had already taken the Turkic army by surprise. It also caused some Turkic tribes to be bombarded by the earth-shattering thunder when they were sacked by the Shanyang army, and they immediately lost their heart of resistance.

The torches were blown by the night wind, the red sparks snapped from the top, the chainmail of the patrol soldiers shone brightly in the night, and the shaking shadows reflected on the wooden fence on the riverbank.

Satsuma, the chief of the Turkic tribes. Of course, it's just a tribe that is not too big or too small. Because he led a large army in response to the call of the Turkic Khan, the army prepared to go south to Dayan to plunder. However, he gets the news that his tribe has been slaughtered and wiped out by the Xiaoguo army. Annoyed, he didn't stop other dissuasions, and immediately waved his army eastward and killed the Xiaoguo army.

"How's it going?" Satsuma asked, his eyes red.

"Chief, this Xiaoguo army has more than 15,000 soldiers, in addition, there are 10,000 people. Other than that, there is nothing else. Their cavalry had escorted their baggage caravans back with the spoils of war, including supplies and people looted from our tribes. The soldiers who escaped from the tribe reported in a trembling voice.

"Okay, very good, today, I want these Han people to avenge my people. Send the order down, charge me, and kill them all! After learning of the situation, Satsuma couldn't hold back anymore and roared angrily.

"Knock knock......" A roar came from the sky, which caught the attention of the sentries of the large battalion, "Enemy! The Turks are coming! The First Town Patrol shouted, ringing the bell of the watchtower in his hand,

"Woo woo woo ......" trombone sounded everywhere in the temporary barracks, and countless soldiers came out of the barracks, and under the leadership of officers at all levels, the non-commissioned officers rushed to various positions in an orderly manner. As soon as you look at their expressions, you can tell that they haven't really taken off their clothes and armor to sleep.

"Crossbowmen, all up the camp wall and lined up." Under the order of the officers of each capital, a total of 5,000 crossbowmen from the three capitals swept up the camp wall that was no more than three meters high but five meters wide. The high platform, where only a few crossbowmen were standing guard just now, was quickly filled with soldiers.

"Crossbow! "The crossbow officer shouted, the neat pulling of the bowstrings of the infantry crossbows was like a dense raindrop hitting the ground in the dark night, and at the same time, a hideous heavy ballista was pushed out by the soldiers, and there was a cold light behind the fence, "Quick! Pikemen, array! Array! "Spears glowing with cold light protrude from the gaps in the fence.

Clusters of black shadows appeared in the opposite wilderness with the sound of the wind, and the neighing of the horses was mixed with the sound of human voices, followed by the heavy sound of horses' hooves stomping the ground. Groups of cavalry drove murderously from a distance.

In the faint moonlight, the scimitars of the Turkic army flashed with a cold glow, and in the drowsy night, tens of thousands of cavalry instantly filled a large open space in the west.

"! It's finally here! Now, it's time for our infantry to shake their might. Tang Niu stared at the enemy in the distance, his eyes lit up, his five fingers clenched, the wide bones made a crisp sound, and the excitement that had not been seen for a long time was reviving in his body.

"Rush! Let these Han people see the power of my Turkic warriors, and use the war knife in his hand to split a road to victory! Kill them all and avenge your dead loved ones! Satsuma slashed hard and roared.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"Revenge ......" all kinds of Turkic words and all kinds of strange cries came from the Turkic army, and the Turkic cavalry kept rushing towards the main camp at a high speed. Seriously, if the defenders didn't stop it, this battalion wouldn't have been able to stop the charge of the Turkic cavalry. You know, on the grassland, there are no trees waiting for you to cut down and set up camps. Therefore, the walls of this camp are framed by horse-drawn carriages and tied with long wooden ropes that are transported, but they definitely can't withstand the forced charge of many cavalry. Of course, since there is none, it is obviously still different.

"Ten thousand! Haha, just because they want to take us down too? Wish for the moon! Fools, we've beaten them so many times that we don't know how to learn a lesson. An officer said coldly.

"That's different, it's true that they suffered defeats, but they were all defeated by our cavalry. So, my guess, they think that our infantry is really for cavalry/transporting food and forage, and there is nothing to be afraid of. After all, we haven't fought them head-on. Here, in the land of the annexed states, the foot soldiers of the annexed state army were chased and killed by the Turkic army like cattle and sheep. Another commander explained in a whisper.

"And the state army, soft egg!" A team leader not far away spat and spat out.

"These 10,000 people are here to send us merit tonight, haha...... Brothers, get ready to kill him without a single piece of armor! A sentry commander said with a smile, not paying the slightest attention to the Turkic cavalry that was galloping towards and getting closer and closer. Beside him, the other soldiers also stared at the enemy on the opposite side with grim expressions, and the hands holding their spears couldn't help but clench. The war has broken out, and soon this river beach will be turned into a battlefield of killing. But with the ridicule of the officers, the nervous mood of these soldiers couldn't help but relax a lot.

"My lord, the enemy army is five hundred paces away from me......"

"The enemy is four hundred paces away from us......"

"The enemy army is 300 paces away from me......"

"Good! Order, order the forward crossbowmen to fire three times in a row! A sneer appeared on the corner of Tang Niu's mouth, and with a fierce wave of his hand, he shouted to the herald behind him, "Sue sù brothers, shoot me hard, and let these bastards all stay." ”

"Crossbow ready!" The shouts of the officers were heard from the crossbowmen's formation, and the arrows with cold light emerged smoothly from the fence and the earthen platform, and the crossbowmen were crouching or lying on their stomachs, or standing, and the five thousand yellow crossbows aimed at the galloping cavalry soldiers at the same time.

"Triple shot!" The crossbowmen officer shouted, his raised right hand turned into a phantom shadow in the darkness of the night, and a loud voice resounded through the night sky, and the death sentence was pronounced for the murderous, galloping Turkic cavalry

In the military formation above the wall of the "Collapsed ......" barracks, the sound of the bowstring vibrating intensively sounded in an instant, and the whistling sharp arrows flew all over the sky, and one after another swift black tracks crossed the sky and plunged into the cavalry ranks.

"Poof...... blood gushed out from the bodies of the Turkic cavalrymen without armor, and immediately, one by one, the cavalry and their horses rolled to the ground. The horses neighed and screamed. In an instant, hundreds of cavalry at the forefront of the charge rolled to the ground. After that, more cavalry were tripped and trampled by the corpses on the ground......

It was only about 200 meters from the place where the crossbow arrows were hit to the camp, but the Turkic soldiers who did not have heavy armor on their bodies could not resist the penetration of the infantry crossbows. Even, many Turkic cavalry soldiers were directly penetrated by the crossbow and inserted into the cavalry behind them.

"Collapse! Collapse! Collapse! The soldiers of the Turkic cavalry had not yet reacted, and they did not even see that there were five or six thousand crossbowmen guarding the dark camp wall. In their opinion, this simple camp wall was bound to crumble under their charge.

The cavalry at the front was already covered with a dense array of arrows, and it was impossible to dodge in this dense cavalry ranks. In order to fight for a place to hide, in order to save their lives, many cavalry could only accelerate forward. However, this undoubtedly makes them die faster. How could the Xiaoguo Army let them approach?

Dense three bursts of fire continued like raindrops, the roar of killing pierced the sky, and the salvo of crossbows and bows caused the Turkic cavalry to fall in pieces, and in a short instant, thousands of people were killed in the charging cavalry ranks, and they were covered with black crossbows, falling one by one like harvested straw......

The blood slowly infects the earth, and in the moonlight, a reddish halo flashes in some places, and the formation of the Turkic cavalry is scattered by the crossbows, and the neat columns are full of gaps, and besides, their speed begins to slow down. Because by the faint moonlight, they didn't know how many Xiaoguo soldiers were guarding the camp opposite......
