Chapter XVII: The Meaning of War

The Tuyuhun people poured up from all directions like a tidal wave, without uniform armor or clothing, without unified weapons, without unified language. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just rushed straight up.

The riding skills of the Tuyuhun people are very exquisite, as a people who have lived on horseback since childhood, equestrianism is not only a manifestation of martial arts, but also a guarantee of survival and life.

There were no stirrups, and some even had no whips, so they kept moving on horseback to avoid the dense rain of arrows ahead.

In this case, no conspiracy can change the direction of the war, even the slightest bit.

There is only one possibility to win: the brave wins.

The bed crossbow was fired, and it was fired without reservation.

The bolts of the bed crossbow approaching the height of a man reaped the lives of the Tuyuhun like death.

There is no way to hide, there is no way to avoid it. There were people everywhere except ahead, and there was no other direction to go out of the front. People keep falling off their horses, and people and horses are constantly falling on the way to the charge, and in this case, they will never be able to stand up.

Even so, when they were able to rush to a hundred paces in front of the Tang army's formation, the originally dense cavalry formation had already thinned out a lot.

The archers of the Tang army have already begun to throw, and they don't need to aim, they only need to aim at the front and shoot the arrows with the greatest strength at a forty-five-degree angle. Against people and horses moving at high speed, aiming no longer makes much sense.

Closer, the solo crossbow bolt was fired. This straight line of attack was a nightmare for cavalry.

The Tuyuhun people did not retreat, and it was the most stupid thing to expose their backs in front of the Tang army.

This was only a tentative attack, the Tuyuhun lost 3,000 men, and the Tang army lost a large number of arrows that could not be recovered in a short time. Oh, and there was also a wounded soldier who had fallen and scraped his skin while transporting his crossbow arrows.

When the last Tuyuhun warrior fell from his horse, the horse lost its whip, slowed down, lowered its head and nibbled on the grass that had already withered and yellow.

The horn of the Tuyuhun retreat finally sounded, but no one retreated.

The eldest grandson vomited, even last night's vomit.

Seeing that about sixty paces away, a Tuyuhun man on horseback was pierced by the arrow of the bed crossbow, and his body became two, and when he spurted out more than half a meter of blood, Changsun Tang vomited, completely ignoring that the crossbow arrow only slowed down slightly, and nailed the body of another cavalryman to the ground after penetrating it, and his tail was still shaking slightly.

The Tuyuhun people have collected their troops, and the Tang army has also collected their troops.

The Tuyuhun people retreated three miles and began to go down to the village, as a fairly good country during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, they mastered this technology and it was still decent.

The Don army also took the army back.

"Looks like there's no war going on today." Duan Zan said that he came to visit the eldest grandson who was about to vomit out all the bile.

"How do you know?" The eldest grandson said with some weakness.

"Look at the sun is about to set now." Duan Zhan's expression seemed to be looking at an idiot.

"Wouldn't the Tuyuhun people attack at night?" The eldest grandson retorted.

"Have you ever heard of nomadic tribes that raid at night?" Duan Zan did not answer positively.

"Why is that?" Changsun Tang was a little puzzled, cavalry with extremely high movement speed should be more threatening under the cover of night.

"What is the most important thing about cavalry?"

"Of course, it's high mobility and great power." The eldest grandson did not say inertia.

"Then since you are going to attack at night, you will start charging a mile away, is this still called a night attack?" Duan Zhan's somewhat disdainful gaze made Eldest Sun Tang very uncomfortable.

"Can't you get to about three hundred paces and start charging? This is the speed that can already be played. ”

"Do you think our army's scouts and light and dark sentinels are decorations?"

"Oh, this." The eldest grandson was a little speechless.

"There's another legend." Duan Zan continued.

"What legend?"

"This grassland is cursed, such as this miasma, for the Tuyuhun people, it is said that the vast majority of people can't see anything at night, so how to charge?" Duan Zan said.

"And this? Can't see it at night? Isn't this night blindness? The eldest grandson immediately woke up to the fact that the only source of vitamins in the grassland was tea, and expensive tea was not something that everyone could consume, so there would be a disease caused by this lack of vitamins.

"Is this also a disease?" Duan Zan was a little incredible.

"Yes, it's a disease too."

"How should that be cured?"

"Tell you what's in it for me?"

"......" Duan Zan was speechless.

Early the next morning, the Tuyuhun people advanced again to a distance of only about a mile from the Tang army camp.

This time, the Tuyuhun people obviously sent their most elite troops.

Although it was also a cavalry yesterday, the colorful costumes and weapons even the chief Sun Tang knew that it was a ragtag army. Today's Tuyuhun people are at the top of the list, not only the color of the clothing is unified, but also the color of the horse. The black team, the white team, if there are more than a few colors, it will be rainbow candy, Changsun Tang thought.

A whining horn sounded. The Tuyuhun cavalry, who occupied a high ground, shouted "drink" in their mouths, holding shields in one hand and knives in the other, lying on horseback, and the horses led them forward.

The bed crossbow began to shoot, the huge crossbow arrow with a huge momentum, smashed the shield raised by a Tuyuhun man, the shield was broken, the wooden shield could not withstand this huge force, followed the crossbow arrow through the rider's body and took him away from the horse, and smashed it on the head of a horse behind, the black horse's head was suddenly shattered, the knight was also crushed to the ground, and the inertia of the crossbow arrow was finally not enough to continue moving forward.

The horse behind will not slow down, slowing down means death, the horse galloping at high speed stepped on the leg of the knight, and suddenly the skin and flesh opened, and the eldest grandson even made up the scene of Bai Sensen's bones mixed with bright red plasma.

So the eldest grandson vomited again.

But the war continued, and this time the Tuyuhun did not intend to retreat, and the first wave of cavalry had just finished half the distance, and the second wave began to charge again......

After the battle ended yesterday, the Tang army retreated back five miles and went down again.

Knowing that today is another big battle, yesterday's battlefield was too advantageous for the Tuyuhun people. And the huge number of corpses in a short period of time can't be disposed of, although it is autumn here, but the possibility of an outbreak of plague still exists, and the best way for the Tang army who have no time to deal with the corpses is to go down the village again.

The surroundings here are relatively gentle, although the army of the Tuyuhun people can be expanded to the maximum, but the sight of the Tang army is also more open.

Wave after wave of Tuyuhun people fell on the way to attack, and finally, the Tuyuhun people approached the position of the Tang army step by step. At this time, the pikemen and the Modao soldiers had already formed a formation, ready to meet the onslaught of the Tuyuhun people.

If the Tuyuhun people are floods after heavy rains, then the Tang army is more like a huge rock.

The pikemen inserted one end of the spear deep into this strange land, and the tip of the spear pointed obliquely in the direction of the Tuyuhun charge, and they clutched the gun with both hands.

At this time, the individual is so small, and life is so low. (To be continued.) )
