Chapter 49: Flying the Khan's Kite (3)
"Bow and arrow ready! Shoot! ”
"Bow and arrow ready! Shoot! ”
"Bow and arrow ready! Shoot! ”
……
Li Junxian issued many orders for archery in a row, and each time he took the lives of about a hundred Turkic people. And the Turks did not pay any attention to it, and their comrades-in-arms around them were already about a third less. Because they had tens of thousands of cavalry, boundless, and they didn't notice this for a while.
Li Junxian used the kite tactics of the later Mongols, which is called Mangu tactics in the language of the Mongols. The Mongols first used this tactic against the enemy's heavy cavalry, and this method consumed many enemies. Most of the enemy was unknowingly killed by the Mongols with their weak forces, but they did not realize it at all, and this is the terrible thing about this tactic, which makes people die unconsciously.
Originally, this tactic could only deal with the heavy cavalry that was slower and could not shoot arrows, but Li Junxian had the ability to turn to the light cavalry of Jieli. In the time of the Mongols, the enemy was almost identical to the Mongols in weaponry, so the Mongols were only able to use this tactic against heavy cavalry. However, in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty had a lot of weapons and equipment that the Turks could not have, so Li Junxian was able to turn to this tactic to deal with light cavalry.
"Damn, they shot us so many times, can't we shoot them once?" Jieli Khan asked.
Jieli's lieutenant general also immediately shouted: "Turkic warriors, take out your bows and arrows, and give me a counterattack against the Han people!" ”
The Turkic cavalry also took out their bows and arrows, and began to bend their bows on horseback and aim at the Tang cavalry in front. And when countless Turks shot the bows and arrows in their hands, a speechless voice came.
"Dangdangdang...... There was a sound of metal colliding, and those bows and arrows slammed into the armor of the Xuanjia Army.
The arrows fired by the Turks hit the armor of the Xuanjia army, which was responsible for covering behind, and as for the light cavalry, none of them hit. And the heavy cavalry is covered in heavy armor, and is not afraid of the bow and arrow shooting of those light cavalry, which is simply beyond the reach of tickling!
"Fuck! These guys are so good that they let the heavy cavalry break off! Jieli was speechless.
The heavy cavalry of the Xuanjia Army was like a city wall, protecting the light cavalry shooting arrows in front. There was only some space in the middle that allowed the light cavalry to shoot arrows. The Tang cavalry was close to the space between those heavy cavalry, so it was very easy to shoot arrows from these spaces. However, the Turks were far away, as if they were going to shoot the enemy above from under the city walls, and from which lookouts they had to shoot and kill the enemy, and this hit rate had to be said to be very low.
"Stab a horse's ass with a saber! Let the war horse catch up, so that when the distance is close, it is easy to shoot! Jieli said ruthlessly.
"Khan, the lifespan of such a war horse will be greatly reduced!" Said the adjutant general.
"No matter, I have a lot of Turks and war horses, and I can afford to consume them!" Jieli said.
Soon, those Turkic cavalry stabbed the horses in the buttocks with their knives, and the horses were in pain, and they immediately went into a frenzy. And Li Junxian saw that the Turks were getting closer and closer, and he was also a little anxious, he couldn't learn the behavior of the Turks, because Datang lacked high-quality war horses!
"Grandma's, it seems that I have to use this trick in advance!" Li Junxian thought secretly.
"Xuanjia Army, put the nails!" Dugu Yanyun shouted instead of Li Junxian.
The heavy cavalry running at the back of the line took out a bag from the backpack of their horses, loosened the mouth of the bag, and then poured out the contents.
And the Turkic cavalry didn't know what it was, and the Turkic cavalry running in the front stepped on those things one after another!
"Ahhhhh......h
When the Turkic cavalry saw this, they grabbed their horses and dismounted to check what was causing the situation.
Jieli picked up the things on the ground and scolded: "Grandma's, this little white-faced Li Junxian's heart is too poisonous and too lacking in morality!" ”
The things on the ground were an inch-long triangular nail, and the slender and sharp triangular nails pierced the hooves of the Turkic war horse, and the Turkic war horse fell down in pain, and threw the Turkic cavalry on horseback into the air. Many of them were even pierced by nails on the ground and died on the spot. It was these nails that made more than a thousand of the Turkic horses and soldiers lose their combat effectiveness.
Li Junxian originally planned to use this tactic of putting nails and lacking morality just in case, if the Turks caught up. However, since the Turks used such a ruthless trick as stabbing the horse's buttocks, Li Junxian had to take out the trump card.
Jieli Khan finally used the trick of stabbing the horse's buttocks, but it was actually solved by Li Junxian's hand with a triangular nail. Jieli was even more angry and asked his subordinate cavalry to continue the pursuit, but the momentum just now was gone.
"Turkic warriors, shoot me!" Jieli shouted.
Since you can't catch up with others, it's better to use hanging shots. Although the hit rate of the hanging shot is not high in this case, it can always hit some, so Jieli ordered his subordinates to use the hanging shot.
"Whoosh whoosh......" The Turks also began to shoot.
"Thorn Thorn Thorn Thorn ......"
"Oops!" "Oops!" "Grandma, the Turkic arrows have hit me!"
Not to mention, the archery level of the Turks is not bad, and they actually hit dozens of Tang light cavalry. However, what is strange is that none of the Qian light cavalry of the Tang Dynasty did not fall to the ground, but were still moving on horseback. This situation made the Turks seem to have seen a ghost, and they were able to be shot without dying?
"Hmph, we've got something good!" Li Junxian thought secretly.
"Go!" "Fuck you!" "What the hell!" ……
The light cavalry of the Tang Dynasty pulled out arrows from the wounds, but there was no heavy bleeding in a surprising manner. If it is a normal situation, pulling out the arrow directly will cause heavy bleeding, but why did the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty not bleed heavily?
"Hehe, we've passed several layers of silk clothes!" Li Junxian thought excitedly.
Li Junxian saw a plot when he watched the later TV series "Genghis Khan", that is, Genghis Khan asked his cavalry to wear several layers of silk clothes, so that the enemy's arrows could slow down a lot of momentum after hitting him. In addition, silk clothes can wrap arrows into one's body so that the arrows will not get stuck in the wound. Silk-wrapped arrows are much easier to clean than usual. Even, if there is an anti-pull barb on the arrow, the barb will not play much role under this silk "body armor". And now the cavalry under Li Junxian are wearing several layers of silk clothes, and the arrows of ordinary Turks cannot hurt them.
"Although I don't like Genghis Khan, I still have to say that you Turks are not worthy of lifting shoes for Genghis Khan!" Li Junxian thought secretly.
