Chapter 312: Battle of Iron Mountain (6)
And after the Turkic captain returned to the Turkic camp, he immediately reported to Jieli that the enemy had been prepared. Jieli had known this for a long time, but Jieli was curious that the Han people could actually observe the battle situation from a hot air balloon. Of course, Jieli also knows that the perspective from a high place is the best, which is why the command center should be placed in a high place in ancient times, and even in modern times. Even in the 21st century, the principle of observation from high places has not changed, except that it is observed by using two ultra-high-altitude things, airplanes and satellites.
Now Li Junxian and the others actually use hot air balloons to observe the Turkic formation, which makes Jieli very nervous. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that my own troop formation is not Li Junxian's opponent at all. Because of the visual angle, Li Junxian has no way of moving. But if he has any moves, Li Junxian can know about the scouts on the hot air balloon, then Li Junxian will in turn weaken the strength advantage of the Turks. If things continue to play like this, I am afraid that Li Junxian will hold on for longer and longer, until Li Jing's reinforcements come here, and it will be troublesome. When the time comes, if there is a two-sided attack, won't the center bloom miserably?
"Khan, if you want to destroy Li Junxian, you must defeat this enemy's thing, otherwise we won't be able to defeat Li Junxian's little white face at all." Said the captain of the Turkic 10,000 people.
Jieli said helplessly: "It's difficult! They are far away from us, and our bows and crossbows can't shoot them. I'm afraid we don't get closer, and they're all going to shoot arrows. So, it is simply impossible for us to shoot them with a crossbow. ”
But the Turkic captain smiled and said, "Khan, since they are using the 'air force' against us, why don't we treat them in the same way?" We also use the 'air force' against them. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Khan, we can be so ......"
And in Li Junxian's special guard camp, on the hot air balloon, intelligence came at any time. The reconnaissance staff officer above kept writing the information on small slips of paper and throwing it down from the hot air balloon. The soldiers below were responsible for picking it up. After that, it was handed over to Li Junxian and them, the army commanders. Li Junxian can use the information on the slip of paper, and then accurately arrange the troops, so that the scarce troops can play a several times the effect.
"Whew......"
There was a roaring sound, and some eagles flew in from a distance. The eagles flew in the direction of the Turks, and then flew in the direction of Li Junxian. There are about a dozen of these eagles, like a family. However, many people disagree, because there are many eagles in the grassland, so it is not strange that a family of eagles is not surprised.
"General Li, is that the legendary eagle?" Mulan asked.
However, at this time, Ash Nayun immediately said: "Jun Xian." Quick, shoot these eagles down! These eagles are bred and can be used to attack others! ”
"What?" Li Junxian was surprised.
"Jun Xian, hurry up and order these eagles to shoot down, their target is a hot air balloon." Ashinayun shouted.
Ashinayun is a Turkic and of course knows that the Turks have a tradition of domesticating eagles. Many steppe peoples domesticated eagles for hunting or auxiliary living. If the Han people use carrier pigeons to communicate, and the grassland people also have the habit of using eagles to communicate. Therefore, there are even cases where the grassland people use eagles to hunt carrier pigeons.
"Sharpshooter! Give it to me, shoot these eagles! Li Junxian shouted.
This time. About a platoon of people came out right away, and these people were marksmen. Since Li Junxian uses a bow and crossbow, when he continues to train the bow and crossbow, there will definitely be a group of people who are proficient in the bow and crossbow. If they are arranged to ordinary infantry. That's a waste of talent. So Li Junxian mobilized them and gave them the status of officers, specially experimenting with officers who were used to snipe the enemy. These people are equivalent to snipers in later generations, except that these snipers use bows and crossbows to complete sniping.
"Whoosh......" The sharpshooters of that platoon immediately began to shoot arrows.
"Wow Wow ......"
The arrows went after the eagle. Immediately, several eagles were shot to the ground and were instantly killed. When Jieli saw this, he was immediately furious.
"Send me all the eagles. Be sure to get rid of their flying thing. I don't believe it, I send all the eagles out, and you can shoot them all? Jieli shouted.
Soon, more than forty eagles flew out and flew towards Li Junxian and them. This time, their eagles in their forties are not good! Because there is only one platoon of sharpshooters, and they can't hit every shot. Although these marksmen are a hundred shots for ordinary dead targets, for this kind of eagle that has to be fast, it is impossible to hit every shot. They may only be able to shoot two or three of them at a time, but there are more than forty of these eagles, and I'm afraid they won't be in time!
"Marksman, shoot me!" Li Junxian shouted.
"Whoosh ......"
"Wow Wow Wow ......"
Although those sharpshooters kept shooting, more than 20 of those eagles still came to the hot air balloon, and those staff officers saw this situation and immediately prepared to take out horizontal knives to meet the enemy. Fortunately, Li Junxian told those soldiers that everyone, even the staff officer, must not leave the sword, so that he is a soldier. Therefore, those staff officers also temporarily brought a few knives up, so they were able to meet the enemy.
"Slaughter these births for me!" The foreman's staff officer immediately said angrily.
"Siying!" The foreman's staff officer immediately drew his sword.
"Kill!"
"Wow!"
An eagle was knocked to the ground.
But the other staff officers were not so lucky, and they slashed many knives in a row, but none of them killed the eagles. On the contrary, the eagles kept scratching them with their sharp talons, and some of the staff officers were drenched in blood. Although no one died, there would certainly be serious casualties if this continued. Many of these staff officers are students of the four disciplines, and they are not very good at hand-to-hand combat, so they are now at a disadvantage in the face of some brutes.
"Grandma's, it seems that I will strengthen the personal martial arts training of those staff officers in the future." Li Junxian was anxious when he saw this situation.
Now countless people are in a hurry, because they can't shoot arrows, and if they do, they may hurt their staff officers. Those sharpshooters don't shoot, and neither do they shoot. But now we can only look at the ability of those staff officers themselves. (To be continued......)
