Chapter 822: Capture Ku Zhen alive
This time, Zhang Jin said that he and Wang Shichong did not know each other in the barracks, but with the tactics he had learned from Wang Shichong over the years, he still fought an ambush here beautifully.
Yang Gongqing, who was standing on the side, looked at Zhang Jin, who was covered in blood and triumphant, and said, "Brother Zhang, the enemy has run away, should we chase after him?" ”
Zhang Jincheng smiled slightly and wiped the blood on his face: "There's no need for this, Vice Marshal Pei's father and son have already set up an ambush in front, let's come back to the Western Regions just to avoid digging the river, and we will leave this army after we go back, there is no need to grab this battle merit from them and attract the attention of the Sui army, understand?" ”
Kuzhen Tutun ran all the way, the wind whistled in his ears, and he was getting closer and closer to the Sui soldiers who were scattered and fleeing in front of him, and some of the infantry of the Sui army, wearing single clothes and bare feet, began to run wildly to both sides, only the more than thirty horse-drawn carts were still galloping in this desert.
Kuzhen Tutun's nose could even smell the strong smell of sweat on the Sui soldiers in front of him who drifted in the wind, but in his eyes now, he couldn't care about the soldiers who spread out on both sides, even if he used his toes, he could figure it out, the low-level soldiers walked with their feet, and the senior generals rode horses and cars, and those who could still grab the car and escape at this time must be the high-value targets of the Sui army.
Kuzhen Tutun chased after him for a while, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he looked left and right, there were only four or five hundred people left, and two or three miles behind him, about three hundred cavalry followed him desperately under the leadership of Yibi He Li. Others can't see it for the time being.
Kuzhen Tutun gritted his teeth. It's all my own carelessness. The chase was too fast, and he lost contact with the others, but now it's okay, he took the guards straight to those carts, and as for the Sui infantry who fled to both sides, they were handed over to the follow-up troops to chase and kill, thinking of this, he raised his horsewhip. He slapped a guy on the ass of his mount and yelled, "Quick, catch up with those big carts and kill all the people on the carts, and leave no one behind!" ”
The thirty or so carts rushed to the top of a sand dune, and suddenly stopped in unison, no longer running forward, and the soldiers in the carts suddenly jumped out of the chariots, and this time Kuzhen Tutun saw it very clearly. These guys are only dressed in single clothes, and some are even shirtless. But they all have strong bows and crossbows!
This surprised Kuzhen Tutun a lot, originally saw that these people died all the way, throwing away the long lance, guns and armor, but they didn't expect that they still kept the bow and crossbow, but these two or three hundred Sui soldiers quickly lined up in three rows, the people in the front row held strong crossbows, squatting on the ground, and the people in the back two rows stood in place, holding bows and arrows, bending bows and arrows, pointing directly at the cavalry on their side.
Kuzhen Tutun laughed, first restrained the horse's hooves, ran to the front, raised his hand, and the accompanying knights behind slowed down and stopped, about a mile away from those Sui troops, many people also began to return their swords into the sheath, touched the quiver on the saddle, and took off the big bow on their backs.
Kuzhen Tutun said with a smile: "Warriors, don't waste time and shoot at these Sui troops, they are only three or four hundred steps away from us, at most put one or two arrows, rush up and step on them and trample them to death, everyone scatters the formation, impact at full speed, don't leave a single live mouth!" ”
After hearing this, the Turkic knights hung their bows and arrows back on their backs, and with the shouts of the two captains on the left and right, a hundred Turkic knights galloped to the left and right, ready to outflank them from the side and rear, while Kuzhen Tutun waved his hand, and the three hundred cavalrymen behind him, holding swords, lances and maces, let out bursts of piercing screams, and rushed straight towards the Sui army crossbowmen three hundred paces away!
At a distance of two hundred paces, the crossbowmen of the Sui army began to fire, seventy half-crouching crossbowmen, raising the crossbows of the infantry of four stones to their faces, staring at the Wangshan Mountain on the crossbow machine with two eyes, each aiming at a Turkic cavalryman, and pulling the trigger unhurriedly.
Listening to the sound of a terrible crossbow arrow breaking through the air, more than forty Turkic cavalry fell in response, these crossbowmen of the Sui army, the archery is extremely accurate, completely aimed at the Turkic knights' face door to fire, two hundred steps away, with the speed of a strong crossbow, almost unstoppable, many knights fell at once, and no one's war horses are still galloping towards the burying head.
Kuzhen Tutun's face changed, he didn't expect these Sui troops to be so calm, when the war horses rushed to a distance of two hundred paces, they still didn't dodge or dodge, and they could shoot so calmly, let alone that their archery skills were so exquisite, they specifically fired at people's faces, and with only one face, their front row cavalry was nearly half less.
Kuzhen Tutun's eyes were red, and he roared: "Lower your body, saddle impact!" ”
The well-trained Turkic knights played and hid in the horses, one by one tightly clinging to the side of the war horse, hiding their heads in the mane of the war horse, from the Sui crossbowman, almost the people on the horse disappeared at once, leaving only more than two hundred ownerless war horses galloping!
An order came from among the crossbowmen of the Sui army: "In a group of five, stare at a horse and shoot, fast!" ”
Each adjacent five strong crossbows, all pointed to the same war horse, the leftmost warrior gave an order, pulled the trigger, more than 70 crossbow arrows in five as a unit, intensively drilled to more than ten war horses, only heard the sound of horse neighing, the arrow of the war horse has rushed to the ground, or was shot in the face and eyes, jumping wildly, not only the warrior hiding on the horse fell to the ground alive, but also often collided with the side or rear of the horse, the ground rolled to the ground.
The sound of the third trigger was fired, and the loose horse team charge was less than a hundred paces away from these crossbowmen, and the three consecutive infantry crossbows fired the last round of crossbow arrows, and more than a dozen war horses neighed to the ground, and the Turkic cavalry, which was still charging towards the Sui army, was less than two hundred horsemen.
Kuzhen Tutun was almost about to crush the steel teeth, it was the first time he had seen such a well-trained crossbowman, his five hundred personal guards, but the Turkic condor shooters, all of them had superb riding skills and excellent bow skills, but he didn't expect to reimburse more than a hundred people before he got close to the enemy, which made his heart extremely painful, and he couldn't care about anything at this time. Straightened up all of a sudden. "Stample them to death." Stomp them to death! ”
More than seventy Sui crossbowmen in the front row began to retreat, and more than a hundred archers in the back two rows stepped forward one after another, each of them in a flat shooting posture, the arrow string stuck to the tail of the feather arrow, glued to the half of his face, one eye narrowed into a slit, while the other eye was round and open, staring at his target!
The Turkic cavalry was already less than eighty paces from the archers. The muscles on the sweat-soaked and hideous faces were twisted, and even the knife marks and facial features on everyone's faces were clearly seen by the archers of the Sui army, and the order of the team was quickly issued: "Shoot!" ”
More than 100 bows and arrows roared out, like flying locusts, straight to the Turkic knights, and more than 20 people fell to the ground with men and horses, and the speed of the remaining 1560 horsemen had increased to the fastest, and they rushed out more than 20 steps. It is less than fifty steps away from the archers of the Sui army!
The archers of the Sui Army in the back row stepped forward. Another burst of bows and arrows was fired, and seven or eight Turkic knights were pierced by heavy arrows through the iron armor, and flew back from the galloping horses, but all the remaining Turkic cavalry had all straightened up, flattened the lance in their hands, and slammed their pupils, vowing to knock down these Sui soldiers thirty paces away, tear them apart, and then step on them into a puddle of bloody mud to vent their hatred!
The crossbowmen of the Sui army suddenly all threw away the big bows and strong crossbows in their hands, shouted in unison, squatted down, touched something on the ground, and pulled suddenly!
In front of the Turkic cavalry, nail boards were suddenly erected! These ambush weapons that had already been buried in the sand, the machine buckle at the other end was completely in the hands of these Sui crossbowmen, and with just one pull, dozens of nail boards were erected from the ground one after another, and they smashed into the more than forty Turkic cavalry who were at the front!
Suddenly, these Turkic knights didn't even have room to jump to the side, and hit these nail boards directly, some of them held a long lance in their hands, and pushed out from the horse to the back, flying out more than a dozen steps upside down, and a butt fell backwards into the sand, and more people were unlucky, and even the people and horses hit the nail board, and even the screams didn't have time to make a scream, and suddenly it became a string of people hanging on the nail board, the dead flesh and blood were blurred, and the face was drilled into dozens or hundreds of iron nails. It was so badly wounded!
The forty or fifty cavalrymen in the front row were reimbursed in this way, and the cavalry in the back could not hold their feet because of the full-speed impact, although they hurriedly reined in the reins, but they still rushed up, but there were the corpses of the people in front of them as a buffer, and they just knocked off their horses, and they were not killed.
Kuzhen Tutun, who was dragging behind, had blood-red eyes, let out a long roar, and the spurs on his riding boots pierced heavily into the belly of his mount, and this divine horse was very sweaty and bloody, and the four hooves rose into the air, and actually flew over these four or five feet high nail boards, and rushed straight to the Sui army on the opposite side less than ten paces in front of him.
More than a dozen agile cavalry of the guards behind them also did the same, leaping over the nail board, and together with Kuzhen Tutun, they brandished sabers and maces, and viciously charged towards the Sui army ten paces away.
A dense drum sounded, and the sound of killing was everywhere, Kuzhen Tutun's heart sank suddenly, but he saw that behind the archers of the Sui army, at the top of the sand dunes, hundreds of knights in armor and cavalry suddenly appeared, all of them with bright armor, wearing evil ghost masks on their faces, holding long lances and big axes, and surging towards themselves like a tide, the first one, nearly nine feet tall, with a thicker waist than ordinary people, holding a bow that looked like at least five stones, twisted by two extremely thick animal tendons, pure iron tires, With a cold lightning flash in his eyes, he bent his bow and arrows, and shouted, and a long-roded wolf's tooth arrow went like a meteor, heading straight for the door of Kuzhi Tutun.
Kuzhen Tutun's reaction was extremely fast, and he didn't care about chasing and killing the Sui army in front of him, he quickly lowered his head, and bent his body downward, but he only heard the sound of "ding" above his head, and his head was cold, and the helmet made of sterling silver disappeared all of a sudden.
Kuzhen Tutun looked back, followed by him, the little colonel with the banner of the golden wolf, but he had been shot through the cold, his chest was on his own silver helmet, and his left hand was tightly grasping the arrow shaft behind the silver helmet, looking at his eyes full of disbelief, looking up to the sky and spewing out a mouthful of blood arrows, his body was crooked, and he fell down from the war horse with a big banner, and died of exhaustion, his eyes were wide when he died, as if he hadn't figured out why this arrow could penetrate the silver helmet, and then penetrate his breastplate and his entire body. Then make a hole in the iron armor on the back!
Just when Kuzhen Tutun was frightened, the brave general on the opposite side had rushed to his side, Kuzhen Tutun instinctively raised the scimitar to resist, but only saw a round-headed giant hammer smashed head-on, and the steel knife in his hand touched, the tiger's mouth burst suddenly, and the bones of the entire right arm seemed to be shattered.
Lai will sweep over Kuzhen Tutun like a gust of wind, lightly Shu ape arm, Kuzhen Tutun only felt a tightness on his waist, the whole person was pulled up by a huge force, and flew away from his horse's back at once, he felt like flying, after a whirlwind of the sky, only then did he find that what he was looking at was the sun, and his whole person, was actually lifted over the head with one hand by the brave general, this power, is really unbelievably terrifying!
The brave general laughed, and shook hard, Kuzhen Tutun's body with more than 200 catties of armor was like a bundle of straw, and it was thrown out of the air lightly, and Yong used ingenuity in his hands to remove a lot of Kuzhen Tutun's whereabouts, but Rao was so, he was still face on the ground, and fell directly into the sand with a dog gnawing mud, and the hot sand poured into his mouth, almost burning his tongue, Kuzhen Tutun screamed, and was trying to turn over hard, But he was grabbed by the archers of the Sui army who rushed up and tied him up.
More than a dozen Turkic cavalry on the side saw that the main general had fallen from their horses, and they were all frightened, and they wanted to turn their horses' heads and flee for their lives, but they could not get away, and the Sui knights who were rushed out from both sides of the archers had no arrows and fell to the ground one after another, and in a blink of an eye, the battlefield became calm.
The brave general stopped his horse and pulled up the face of his face, revealing a face full of flesh, smooth and smooth that had not yet grown a beard. He looked at Kuzhen Tutun, whose face was covered with blood and his hair was scattered, and said with a smile: "Look at your appearance and the flag behind you, it must be Kuzhen Tutun." My name is Pei Xingyan, I've been waiting here for a long time, our family Xue Dashuai and I have an order, I want to invite Lord Tutun to our camp as a guest! (To be continued......)
