Chapter 31: The Battle of Silver City (3)
Hundreds of Turkic cavalry tried to rein in their horses in fear, but the cavalry behind them continued to castrate, forcing them to ram forward!
Puff puff! For a while, hundreds of horses and riders crashed into this iron chariot, sharp spears pierced their bodies, strung them on top of the chariot, and the entire chariot was pushed backwards several meters by the huge impact force, and at this time, taking advantage of the chaos of the Turkic cavalry formation and slowing down, 20,000 crossbowmen aimed their aim at the dense Turkic cavalry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Put!"
With the order of the main general, the dense and terrifying crossbow arrows hit the pile, and countless Turkic cavalry were hit by arrows, and the dense corpses were pounced on outside this chariot, and the Turkic cavalry also gathered more and more, all of them were piled together, and the innermost cavalry lost the roundabout space, and the continuous crossbow arrows from both sides turned this area into hell.
"Withdraw, withdraw!"
Ashina Zhongyun has been hit by dozens of arrows in the first round of attacks, which is also an important reason for the panic of the Turkic cavalry, and at this time, after seeing the power of the enemy's crossbow arrows, the Turkic deputy general immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops, he knew that his army had been frightened by the fierce attack of the other party, and at this time, the large pile of corpses piled up in front of the enemy formation also became a barrier for the other party, and the war horse would not be able to move an inch if it was in this sea of corpses.
As soon as the Turkic soldiers withdrew, the pikemen of the Sui army immediately rushed out of the formation and mended the Turkic soldiers who were wounded or held down by their horses to prevent them from suddenly rising up.
On the left flank of the Sui army, the 50,000 cavalry on the right wing of the Turks had approached the large array of the Sui army, and they did not know what was happening on the left flank at this time.
Gul put all his attention on the Sui cavalry, the Sui generals who led the troops looked very calm, and the military appearance of the Sui cavalry also looked very good, but he didn't know if the combat effectiveness of the Sui cavalry was as strong as Shi Bobi said, or he deliberately exaggerated the strength of his opponent in order to shirk his responsibility.
Gur has 50,000 people, the Sui army only has 30,000 cavalry, the gap between the two sides is still obvious, judging from the strength on paper, even if the Sui army is more well-equipped, but they do not have a numerical advantage, so the victory or defeat is not easy to predict.
Gurdu began to envy Ashina Zhongyun a little, his cavalry can directly face the infantry, and there is no need to fight with the opponent's cavalry, so his victory will definitely be higher than his own, but as long as he can lead the army to defeat the cavalry of the Sui army, he will not be worse than him in terms of credit, and everyone knows the value of cavalry and infantry.
Suddenly, Gurdu frowned, his face was full of doubts, the Sui cavalry moved, but they retreated to the back, so that their infantry was directly exposed in front of him, Gurdu was a little shaken in his heart, I don't know whether to continue to attack the opponent's cavalry or to deal with the opponent's infantry first, Shibi Khan's order to him was only to attack the right flank, and did not make him necessarily crush the cavalry of the Sui army, and if he could quickly break through the opponent's infantry phalanx, then they could not annihilate the opponent's cavalry in this battleand also to be able to achieve a big victory.
Gurdu gritted his teeth, the cavalry of the Sui army had already gone around to the back of the Sui army's formation, if he followed, he might be taken all the way to the circle, and in the end he might not have any results at all.
Gurdu made up his mind to abandon the cavalry pursuing the Sui army, and instead chose to attack the infantry of the Sui army, and at the same time, on the left flank, that is, the right flank of the Sui army, the Turks had already paid a heavy price, but the large array of the Sui army did not move.
Li Jing took 30,000 cavalry around in a big circle, from the left to the right of the Sui army's large array, at this time the Turkic cavalry on the right flank had been routed and was regrouping, and the arrival of the 30,000 Sui army made them not react at all, and they didn't know where the cavalry of the Sui army came from?
Li Jing didn't give them time to continue thinking, the Sui cavalry rushed into the formation of the Turkic cavalry like a tiger, the Turkic cavalry had just been frightened by the bow and crossbow of the Sui army, plus the main general was killed, the formation of the army was very scattered, and the Sui army with a strict formation rushed away, and suddenly there was chaos, they were in a static state by the Sui cavalry at high speed, and the formation was torn apart at once, and the army could not be formed.
Li Jing didn't love to fight, immediately broke away from the battle after the impact, continued to accelerate forward, and then hit the Turkic Chinese army headfirst, the Turkic Chinese army was more numerous, but at this time, most of the troops had been invested in the frontal attack, and their front was thousands of powerful bee crossbows, which made them helpless to take it, and attacked several times in a row, but failed to make a breakthrough, but they paid a lot of price.
Shibi Khan saw that the Sui cavalry suddenly rushed out from the left, and was taken aback, and hurriedly sent a signal, wanting to advance the army in front, but it was too late to adjust at this time, the Turkic cavalry rushed forward, and the Sui cavalry rushed to the right, which directly charged the Turkic cavalry into two, and the Turks were unprepared, and suddenly began to be in chaos.
After Li Jing's troops had killed through the formation, they abandoned the Turkic army and led the army to rush straight to the direction of the Turkic Wolf Banner.
Shibi Khan was taken aback, there were only 5,000 cavalry around him, and it was impossible to resist at all, he immediately turned over his horse and fled north, Li Jing caught up with the soldiers in charge of the banner, cut down the soldiers with one sword, and then cut down the wolf flag of the Turks to the ground by him.
"The Turkic Khan has been killed! The Turkic Khan has been killed! ”
The soldiers of the Sui army quickly began to shout loudly in Turkic, and then, the Sui army also shouted one after another, and the Turkic soldiers subconsciously looked back, only to see that the cavalry of the Sui army was killing on a large scale, and their khan had disappeared, and the wolf flag was also cut down to the ground, and the soldiers were very surprised, could it be that the khan was really killed?
On the battlefield, the role of the main general is very large, and the influence of the king of a country is indescribable, at this time, seeing the Sui army killed in their own Chinese army formation, even the handsome banner was cut to the ground, even if they did not see the body of the Khan with their own eyes, they already believed in the words of the Sui soldiers in their hearts, believed, and the military heart of the army was shaken, the outcome of this battle was already doomed, the Sui army began to rush out of the formation to attack outward, with the cooperation of Li Jing's cavalry, the Turks were defeated and fled, It's a pity that Yuwenshu couldn't arrive in time because he deliberately delayed the march, otherwise, if his 50,000 Xiaoguo army was added, the Sui army might even wipe out the Turkic army.
