Chapter 73: Bow and Crossbow Version Lined Up to Shoot (6)

"General Wu Cai, we have lost more than 4,000 people!" The little general asked.

Wu Qi lost a chill in his heart, he didn't expect that in this short distance, he actually lost more than 4,000 people. Just now, he was about to rush to the front of the position, only more than a hundred meters away from the Han position, but his own cavalry couldn't resist the pressure at first, and actually took the initiative to retreat. As a result, because of the retreat of some people, the people behind followed the retreat. Now because of the retreat of those people, the whole operation has been ruined because of this. And let alone cutting off Li Junxian's little white-faced head, just say that you can't do anything else if you want to.

"General Wu Cai, the Khan ordered us to continue the attack! If you do not break through the positions of the Han Chinese, you are not allowed to stop. A herald continued to give orders.

The black cavalry was unable to do so, so they had to continue the attack.

"Turkic warriors, follow me on the attack!"

And Li Junxian and Li Shimin, who were standing on the tower of Chang'an City, looked at this situation, Li Shimin couldn't help shaking his head and said, "It seems that the Turks don't hit the south wall and don't look back." In fact, this is already the limit of the Turks, and it is impossible for the Turks to break through this line of defense. If you want to break through this line of defense, you can only break through the line of infantry unless you sacrifice several times the number of cavalry. Can't that Jieli and the Turkic commander see it? ”

"Your Majesty, it's really possible! The Qin Dynasty's strong crossbow arrays were all terrifying weapons of the Huns. And the strong crossbow that I have transformed is far stronger than the strong crossbow of the Qin Dynasty, and this is probably at least seven or eight times more powerful than the strong crossbow formation of the Qin Dynasty. In the cultural heritage of the steppe nomads, this inheritance may have long been gone. Even if there is such a heritage, I am afraid that this kind of strong crossbow array will not be valued. Because the Qin Dynasty's strong crossbow array was far less powerful than the strong crossbow array under the ministers, they used the Qin Dynasty's strong crossbow array to measure the minister's strong crossbow array. Li Junxian explained.

The pulley crossbow that has been transformed by Li Junxian is designed several times more frequently than the original strong crossbow! Moreover, it can be more labor-saving, so that the soldier does not spend much effort when winding, so that the battle lasts longer. The Qin Dynasty's strong crossbow array made the Huns frightened, and this strong crossbow array composed of modified strong crossbows, I am afraid that the Turks will be miserable.

"Keep attacking!" Wu Qiqi shouted.

As the commander of the Han people, Su Dingfang also nervously held the command flag in his hand, he watched the Turks attack again, and with a wave of the small flag in his hand, the arrow was immediately shot out.

"Whoosh ......"

"Whoosh ......"

"Whoosh ......"

A dense rain of arrows caused the Turks to fall one after another, but the remaining Turks continued to attack. The Turks kept attacking, but the more he back, the greater the losses he found. And when they reached a hundred meters in front of the Han army, they suddenly turned their horses' heads and ran back behind them.

"No more fighting!" "No more fighting!" "We're going home!" "We're going back to the prairie!" "Grandma!" "I'm going back!"

The Turks completely collapsed, because of this dense rain of arrows, as if they could not rush through it at all. The Turks who ran in front before were all killed by this dense rain of arrows, can those Turks behind not be afraid?

The black cavalry was lost and could not, so he had to continue to gather the remnants, because he knew that this attack would fail again. After counting the number of people, it was found that this time there were 6,000 fewer people, and the casualties were even greater. And with the addition of the previous 4,000 people, they lost a total of 10,000 again. Since the invasion of the Central Plains, Li Junxian's cavalry has destroyed 40,000 enemies, while the infantry has destroyed 10,000 enemies before. Now, another 10,000 have been lost here, and the Turks have lost a total of 60,000. If this continues to be fought, the entire Turkic will be finished.

Wu Qiqi did not pay attention to the wails of the Turks under his subordinates, but responded bitterly: "Soldiers, I will take you home!" Even if the Khan wants to kill me, I will admit it if he sacrifices me to the sky! This war cannot be fought. Otherwise, we Turks will perish! ”

After the Wu cavalry finished speaking, he immediately returned to the camp of the Turks with his cavalry, and they did not want to fight. The rain of arrows just now caused the Turks to lose 6,000, and it was the loss of these 6,000 people that had completely collapsed the Turks' will to fight. Originally, the Turks had been driven almost crazy, but the loss of these 6,000 people was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the Turks also collapsed. And Wu Cai, as a general, knew that this battle could not be fought. If they insist on fighting, then I am afraid that the Turks will be completely destroyed.

And Li Junxian watched the Turks retreat on their own initiative and said, "It seems that this war is over, and the Turks can't fight anymore." ”

"Hahahaha, Jun Xian, this war is all your credit. If you hadn't led the cavalry to destroy 40,000 enemies first, and then invented this tactic, allowing us to destroy about 20,000 Turks, we wouldn't have been able to force the Turks back! Jun Xian, the cavalry tactics you invented, as well as this kind of bow and crossbow tactics, are a great achievement for us Han people to fight against the grassland people! This is a great cause that is meritorious in the present and beneficial in the future! Li Shimin also rarely praised.

Li Junxian shook his head and said: "Cavalry tactics are okay, but in fact, we are just taking advantage of our Han civilization. We have more powerful crossbows than the Turks, so we can play them to death. And the tactics of this bow and crossbow are actually nothing, that is, using the advantages of civilization to attack the Turks. Moreover, this tactic is not without weaknesses. ”

"Oh? What is the weakness? ”

"It can't be used offensively, it can only be used defensively, and even defense is not absolute. This tactic can only be used against the steppe peoples who do not have heavy cavalry, and if it is our own heavy cavalry team, this tactic will not be used. Li Junxian very honestly talked about the weakness of this castration-type queue shooting, that is, it is very powerless against heavy cavalry.

"That's also a feat, and we won't be afraid to deal with the grassland people in the future!"

"Hahahaha......"

Now, Li Junxian and Li Shimin already know that the Turks can't hold on, and I'm afraid they will soon come to sue for peace. And the next peace negotiations are to try to drive the Turks out of the Tang Dynasty. Now the task of the Tang Dynasty is to unify the world, not to fight with the Turks. As long as they dominate the world and recuperate for a few years, the national strength of the Central Plains will far exceed that of the Turks. And this time, the Turks have lost tens of thousands of young adults, then their national strength will be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to recover. Under the influence of one another, it would be good if Datang didn't go to them for bad luck at that time, they wouldn't come to Datang for bad luck at all.
