Chapter 102: Bloody Battle

In the Kaihuang period and the early stage of the Great Cause, the Turkic bows and arrows were very weak, most of them were rough, and most of them were single bows, the range was only thirty or forty steps, and the effective killing distance was more than twenty steps, so the bows and arrows have always been the weakness of the Turks.

However, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, a large number of Han craftsmen fled to the grassland for refuge, bringing with them advanced bow-making technology, and at the same time, a large number of bows and arrows also flowed into the Turks through various channels, making the level of bows and arrows of the Turks advance by leaps and bounds.

In this case, some traditional tactics are no longer suitable, such as the cavalry archers deployed in the second position, the former Turkic bow was weak, and the cavalry archers can also shoot three rounds of arrows to kill the enemy in large numbers.

But now the archers no longer have a slight advantage, and even have a little disadvantage over the Turkic cavalry running at high speed.

Despite this, Yang Yuanqing sent archers in the second attack position, and their main task was not to kill and injure the enemy army, of course, it was also their task to kill and injure the enemy army, but it was not the only one.

Their greater task was to cover and protect, to cover the retreat of the heavy crossbow army, and to protect the two wings of the heavy armor Mo sword army.

The dense arrows of the two armies were intertwined in the air, and more than 1,000 Turkic cavalrymen rolled on their backs and rolled to the ground, while the Sui archers also suffered casualties, and a miserable scream sounded in the ranks of the archers, and more than 400 Sui cavalry were shot and fell to the ground.

This was because the Turkic cavalry was too far from the front and back, and only nearly half of the cavalry could shoot into the ranks of the Sui army, but despite this, the Sui archers still suffered a series of casualties.

The Turkic cavalry had already rushed fifty paces away, waving the blue flag on the command tower and ordering the archers to withdraw to both sides.

The archers quickly retreated, guarding the two wings of the Modao army, they hung their bows and arrows, their weapons turned into spears and shields, and they were arranged in a phalanx, densely arrayed on both sides of the Modao army.

As the archers dispersed like mist, the sharpest weapons of the Sui army finally appeared in front of the Turks, and the armor of the six thousand Mo sword army was bright. The formation was tight, like an iron wall, and the sharp Mo knife was swung out, the handle was deeply inserted into the earth, and the tip of the knife was densely gathered, aiming at the rushing Turkic cavalry.

The Turkic cavalry had already rushed to a dozen paces away, and the cavalry in front looked at the dense sword forest in front of them, and they screamed in despair. Even the horses neighed and screamed. They are no longer able to change their tragic fate.

The strong tide finally crashed into the hard reef, but the final result was that the waves were smashed to pieces, and the Turkic cavalry crashed into the dense Mo knife. In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere, limbs were shattered, and blood mist filled the air......

The earthy smell in the air turned into a pungent smell of blood. It made people want to vomit, and as the shock wave dissipated, a wall of flesh made of corpses and bones suddenly appeared in front of the Mo Dao array, about three zhang wide and more than three zhang wide, two miles long, and the horse corpses and human corpses were mixed together, and they were no longer recognizable.

Among the Turkic cavalry that died, some were stabbed to death by Mo's sword, and many more were trampled to death by their companions behind.

But for the Modao soldiers, this is the inevitable result of the cavalry array after the impact of the Modao array, they have turned a blind eye, they are under the order of the Asian general Li Chongwei, Huo Di got up, the Modao slashed out, stepping on the corpse of the enemy to kill the Turkic cavalry step by step......

on the conning tower. Yang Yuanqing did not pay attention to the impact of the first wave of Turkic cavalry, it was just a stone thrown by the Turks asking for directions, and the real enemy was behind, overwhelming the 190,000 troops.

At this time, any tricks and tricks will be miserable and powerless, and any formation will be drowned in the sea of people of the Turkic army. No command could convey it, and at this time the war returned to its primitiveness. See who is stronger, whose army is more well-trained, and whose soldiers are more brave and tenacious.

At this time, Yang Wei, the general in charge of protecting the command center, realized that something was wrong, the command tower was too eye-catching, and it would inevitably become the focus of the Turkic army's attack, which was very dangerous, and he rushed forward and shouted anxiously: "Your Highness, the command tower is no longer safe, please come down!" ”

Yang Yuanqing didn't seem to hear the shout, he held on to the railing, staring at the Turkic army that was killed by the black pressure three miles away, at this time a kind of brave fire ignited in his heart that had not been seen for a long time, he couldn't remember how long he hadn't personally gone into battle to kill the enemy, maybe today, he would kill again.

"Sent an order to Luo Shixin and Pei Xingyan, ordering them to cooperate with the Chinese army in battle, and the left and right flanks were commanded by themselves."

At this time, unified command is no longer realistic, can only be delegated to the commanders of the army, ordered them to fight flexibly, Yang Yuanqing turned around and got off the command tower, and said to Yang Wei: "Protect the Shuai Banner, if the Shuai Banner is taken away, you come to see it!" ”

"Yes!"

Yang Wei shook the camel and ran towards the Shuai Qi with a sledgehammer, he was responsible for commanding four thousand pikemen transformed from the strong crossbow army, the pikemen formed a phalanx, holding a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, surrounding the Red Eagle Banner of Phnom Penh in the middle of the Great Sui.

Yang Yuanqing took over the sky-breaking lance from his own soldiers, he gently stroked the heavy horse lance, he seemed to have returned to the high-spirited youth, the Western Turk Datou Khan died under his own lance, and the blood in his heart began to boil.

He turned over his horse, galloped to the front of the military formation, galloped in front of the team, raised his lance and shouted: "Listen to the sons of the three armies, the fate of the Great Sui Dynasty is here to fight, use your spears and swords to defend your wives and children, your parents, defend your homeland, and defend our dignity with blood!" ”

Yang Yuanqing ran up to a mound, he raised his lance high, and shouted with all his strength: "The Great Sui warriors who will never give in, follow me to fight to the end until the last man!" ”

The blood of tens of thousands of soldiers was ignited, many people were so excited that they shed tears, and a kind of courage to die for the country was slowly stimulated in their hearts, and the 80,000-strong army raised their spears and shouted: "Bloody battle to the end!" Fight to the end! ”

Yang Yuanqing waved his lance and pointed at the Turkic army two miles away, "Kill!" He roared, galloped, and slaughtered the 190,000 Turkic army without hesitation.

"Kill!"

The roar of 80,000 soldiers of the Sui army resounded throughout the land, and they galloped their horses, fought bravely, and followed the commander to kill the Turkic army......

The two armies were getting closer and closer on the grassland, and Jieli Khan also ran in front of the team, he waved his sword and shouted: "Kill Yang Yuanqing, reward 500,000 sheep, and seal the little Khan!" ”

The 190,000 Turkic army also broke out with an earth-shattering cry, and the two armies of nearly 300,000 people got closer and closer, and finally collided, causing the heavens and the earth to change color, and on the vast grassland north of Wuzhou Mountain, a life-and-death decisive battle between the two peoples began......

About a dozen miles northeast of the Wuzhou Pass, there stood another Sui army, about 15,000 people, which was the Sui army led by Li Jing, which was a tactic discussed in advance by Yang Yuanqing and Li Jing.

This new force will use the heavy cavalry as the sharpest sword, and when both armies are finally exhausted, this new force will suddenly fight from behind the Turkic army, which will become a decisive step for the Sui army to defeat the Turkic army.

At this time, Li Jing was immediately under a big banner, he was waiting for Yang Yuanqing's order, Li Jing looked at the southwest direction worriedly, it was already afternoon, the two sides had been fighting for almost three hours, and there was still no winner or loser, he was very worried about the situation of the Sui army.

In the Purple River Valley, although he wiped out 20,000 Turkic cavalry and successfully dragged the main force of the Turkic army southward, he also reminded Jieli Khan from the other side that he would no longer divide his troops to fight, so as not to be broken by the Sui army again.

In the end, except for the 30,000 Turkic troops who went south to attack secretly, Jieli Khan never divided a single soldier, and always firmly gathered the 200,000 troops together, so that the main force of the Sui army had to face a group decisive battle, this decisive battle, even if the Sui army could finally defeat the Turkic army, it would have to pay a heavy price for casualties.

Li Jing knew very well that this was a way of war that Yang Yuanqing was absolutely unwilling to choose, but the Turkic army chose this way, which made Yang Yuanqing helpless to face it, but what made Li Jing even more worried was that the number of Turkic troops was more than twice that of the Sui army, not to mention the tragic victory, whether or not to win this war was still a big question.

At this time, the Sui army could only rely on high morale and two heavily armored troops to win this victory.

At this time, a group of cavalry galloped up, and the first lieutenant shouted from afar: "Chief Li! ”

Li Jing recognized that this was Yang Yuanqing's personal captain, he saw that the other party looked anxious, his heart was suddenly shocked, and he hurriedly urged him to step forward and asked, "How is the situation?" ”

The captain shook his head, and his tone was very heavy, "Both sides have suffered heavy casualties, and the heavy armored infantry has too much physical strength to support, and has lost more than 2,000 people, and the archers have also suffered more than half of the casualties." ”

Li Jing's heart was like sinking into the abyss, the heavy infantry had the strongest defensive ability, and there were actually more than 2,000 casualties, so the casualties of other armies could be imagined, and he asked anxiously: "What is the situation of Your Highness?" ”

"Your Highness's situation is slightly better, there are 10,000 tiger guards guarding you, and you are fighting a fierce battle with 30,000 Turkic guards."

Speaking of this, the captain of the pro-soldier took out a gold medal, handed it to Li Jing, and said anxiously: "Your Highness ordered General Manager Li to send troops, the target is the Xue Yantuo army in the east, His Royal Highness said that as long as the Xue Yantuo army is defeated first, the Hui army will also withdraw, then the hope of winning in the end is great." ”

Li Jing took the gold medal and nodded, "I understand." ”

He immediately turned back and shouted: "All the army is leaving!" ”

Li Jing led 15,000 Sui troops to the southwest, just ran out of a few miles, Li Jing suddenly felt a cold nose, he had an understanding in his heart, and hurriedly looked up at the sky, the rolling dark clouds had reached the top of his head, and the sky was actually thin snowflakes.

He looked back to the north again, twenty miles away, the usually clearly visible Suzhen Mountain was no longer visible, its position was already white, at this time the wind suddenly became stronger, the cold wind howled, and the blizzard finally came
