Chapter 130: Fierce Battle in the Rain
Su Dingfang looked into the distance, black and suppressed, knowing that the Turkic barbarians would come to him immediately, but he couldn't rush into action, according to General Li's strategy, wait until the Turkic soldiers were halfway through, they could start to attack, and then quickly copy from behind, they couldn't let them have a chance to retreat, since they came, don't think about leaving.
The rain kept falling, and everyone was waiting for Su Dingfang's order, and the Zhuge repeater in his hand had been wound and was ready to be launched at any moment.
When the Turkic cavalry crossed half of the hillside, Su Dingfang took out something similar to a signal flare in his arms, pulled the lead, and only heard a whoosh, a ray of light flew into the air, and the cremation was scattered.
This is the eldest grandson Chong asked people to study gunpowder, but the gunpowder didn't come out, and he actually made something similar to fireworks, and the light of the explosion could be seen during the day, and it was even brighter at night. This old craftsman is also a capable person, after the eldest grandson Chong said that it can be used on sunny days and cannot be used on cloudy days, he studied hard, and he really made a waterproof board.
The master is in the people, this sentence is very reasonable.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty knew that this was the signal to start shooting, and they didn't have the heart to look at the sparks, so they immediately pushed up the Zhuge crossbow that had been spinn, and "boom" ten thousand arrows fired in unison. The range of the Zhuge repeater is two hundred meters, and it is very labor-saving, and between a pull and a push, two arrows fly out.
The Turkic barbarians suddenly saw sparks in the air, and thought it was lightning, but before they could react, a rain of arrows denser than raindrops had already shot towards them.
This valley is about fifty meters high on both sides, about seven or eight miles long, and ten horses can gallop over. Batuge knew that the Tang army would not send troops in the next two days, so he didn't even send spies and killed them directly, and naturally he didn't expect that there would be an ambush in this place.
Because the valley is very narrow, you can't turn your head now, otherwise you don't have to do it with the Tang army, the Turkic soldiers will trample on each other, and there will be a lot of casualties, so they can only rush forward as soon as possible and rush out of the valley, and they can show the power of the cavalry.
"Rush forward!" Batug ordered, "Those who retreat will be killed!" ”
After the initial confusion, the Turkic soldiers looked at the people around them, and they were constantly hit by a dense number of arrows, and some even had several feathered arrows on their bodies. If you don't want to be shot as a hedgehog, then run out of this valley quickly.
Su Dingfang took Changsun Chong's suggestion, and the two of them configured a person with arrows, so that there was no need for the shooter to put arrows into the Zhuge Repeater by himself. This greatly improves the shooter's shooting accuracy and speed, and does more with less.
After a period of confusion, Batug had already led the Turkic soldiers to rush out of the valley, which was not high, and did not dare to stop and look at the losses even though they had run out of the valley for two or three miles together.
With 40,000 Turkic soldiers, in just a short time just now, thousands of people died, and tens of thousands of people were wounded, and they were shot by feather arrows, and there was no time to treat.
Now I want to retreat, but I am worried that Datang's ambush is still on the hillside, so I can only stay put.
"My lord, give me 5,000 people, rush up the hillside, and kill those Tang Dynasty miscellaneous pieces!" The Turkic soldiers had suffered such a loss, and they had no power to fight back.
Batug is not stupid, since there is an ambush here, then maybe the front is also ready, waiting for them to die! Clear the ambush on the hillside and withdraw first, or else the whole army will be annihilated. If he became a prisoner, the generals of the Tang Dynasty would definitely kill him.
If Kang Sumi's old guy became a prisoner, maybe he would still be able to live, that person has never advocated using troops against Datang Datang, just want to get some benefits from Datang, so the generals of Datang are not much disgusted with him. On the contrary, it was him, when the soldiers came to Chang'an City, inside and out, he was jumping and jubilant, and the emperor and a cadre of the Tang Dynasty were all insulted by him, and the eyes of those people could see the eyes that killed him.
"Ten thousand for you!" Batug couldn't care about anything now, he just wanted to escape to the steppe as soon as possible. I knew that I would have listened to the words of that old guy Kang Sumi, so that I wouldn't be as embarrassed as I am now, and I was beaten so much that I didn't have the power to fight back.
If the real knife and gun on the other side compete with him on the horse, he is not afraid, although the first Turkic warrior is a former warrior, but it is not in vain, but the rain of arrows that is denser than the rain just now is beyond his imagination, and he is worried that he will also be shot into a hedgehog.
The two generals below Batuge each led 5,000 men and climbed the hillside, but the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had quickly withdrawn and retreated to the exit on the other side.
Just when Batuge was hesitating, Wei Chi Jingde's army arrived, and immediately beat the war drums, and the whole army was full of morale, and the front row held Zhuge Lian crossbow and shot continuously.
In the blink of an eye, one after another, Batuge's attention was all on the valley, but he didn't expect that his back had been outflanked by Datang.
Now there are two choices, one is to turn around and fight, and the other is to flee from the valley, but it is still the ambush team of the Don army that meets head-on.
I can't continue to hesitate, I can only choose one of the two, otherwise I will only be blocked in a narrow valley and surrounded by the Tang army.
Thinking of the head-numbing rain of arrows, Batug decided to turn around and start a war with the Tang army behind him to fight a way out.
Wei Chi Jingde was methodical, dispatched the troops below, and launched attacks on the Turkic and Turkic armies over and over again according to the previously rehearsed formation.
This time, the weapons in the hands of the Tang soldiers were well-made, and the armor on their bodies was much stronger than before, and they were more resistant than the leather armor worn by the Turks.
The Tang knife in the hands of the Datang soldiers could cut off the opponent's weapon alive and destroy it, and before the other party could react, the weapon had already been sent to the opponent's neck.
Su Dingfang led people into the valley, with thick armor and thick shields on their bodies, blocking the front, and then hiding behind the shields and firing Zhuge repeaters at them. Because of such a sharp weapon as the Zhuge crossbow, even if the two Turkic generals occupied a favorable position, they did not cause much substantial loss to the Tang soldiers.
When the Turkic generals saw the bows and arrows in their hands, they couldn't compare with the Zhuge crossbow in the hands of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, so they had to face each other with the Tang soldiers.
For a while, it was raining in the sky, and on the corpses, patches of red blood, mixed with rain, really seemed to be a river of blood!
Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chuliang, and others used a lengthened, widened and thickened version of the Tang knife specially made by Changsun Chong for them, one by one, like chopping cabbage, invincible.
Although Li Yexu went to the battlefield for the first time, he performed well and killed more than 20 people, which is not a small feat.
The battle was fought in the dark, forgetting the passage of time, Batug was anxious, could it be that he was going to explain to this place today?
"My lord, shall we surrender?"
