Chapter 18: The Great War of Sui and Hu (II)

A black and oppressive dark cloud swept in from afar, making the heavens and the earth also change color, the huge sound of horses' hooves seemed to be a muffled thunder mixed in the dark clouds, the earth trembled, and the momentum created by hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry was enough to destroy everything.

The war horse felt the fear of the coming big war, 'Slippery! With a loud scream, the front hooves were raised high, and Yang Yuanqing also saw that a black line about ten miles long appeared at the end of the grassland in the distance.

"Wei Chi!"

Yang Yuanqing shouted, Yu Chiwan hurriedly blew the eagle flute, the eagle flute made a sharp and piercing sound, and the falcon let out a crisp long roar, flapped its wings and flew away, circling and flying south.

Everyone had no time to talk, so they turned their horses' heads and followed Yang Yuanqing to the west.

In the distance, Yang Su's eighteen iron guards also changed color in shock, turned their horses' heads and galloped westward, quickly leaving the battlefield.

.......

At this time, Yang Su was already in the first army, and with his own sense, the enemy army was already not far away, and he stared into the distance, feeling a cold murderous aura appear at the end of the grassland.

"Marshal, our eagle!"

Yang Su raised his head, only to see a falcon circling and flying, red eagle legs, that is the sign of their scout falcon, the falcon chirped in the air, flying out of an arc route, the scout general Zhao Yong understood the meaning of this flight attitude, he shouted: "Dashuai, the eagle is here to report, the enemy is found ahead!" ”

Yang Su raised his hand, "The whole army is arrayed!" ”

The 80,000-strong army was divided into four armies in the vast steppe, the middle army, the left and right wings and the garrison army, stretching for several miles, at this time everyone felt that the earth was trembling, this was the Turks killed, the war horses began to be restless, snorting, and the palms of the soldiers clenched their spears were sweating.

A black line appeared at the end of the grassland, without stagnation, overwhelming, sweeping towards the Sui army with an unstoppable momentum, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of Yang Su's mouth, he was waiting for this moment.

"Crossbowmen ready!" He gave the first order.

10,000 crossbowmen and 5,000 archers marched forward at the same time, with crossbowmen in front and archers behind, crossbowmen shooting from a distance and archers shooting at close range, a staggered combination of distance and nearness.

10,000 crossbowmen lined up in three rows, one zhang apart from each other, the first row half squatted, and 3,000 crossbows rose up on the ground, coldly aiming at the overwhelming Turkic army.

The Turkic cavalry is getting closer and closer, and the monstrous murderous aura seems to destroy everything in heaven and earth, under the banner of the golden wolf's head, Datou Khan raised his sword and shouted: "Fearless steppe warriors, kill all the enemies of the Central Plains, the women of the Central Plains, the treasures, everything belongs to you, kill!" ”

"Kill!"

The Turkic cavalry instantly rushed into the range of the Sui army's crossbow arrows, and Yang Su waved his hand coldly, "Shoot!" ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! The sound of the huge drum sounded, three thousand arrows were suddenly launched, forming a black arrow cloud, roaring towards the Turkic cavalry, in an instant, the Turkic cavalry array of people turned over on their backs, nearly a thousand people were shot down, and then the second row of crossbow arrows of the Sui army came, and there were constantly Turkic soldiers screaming and falling to the ground in the charge, and the third row of arrow clouds roared again, and the dense crossbow arrows were like a storm, shooting through the Turkic shields and leather armor, and the Turkic cavalry rolled from their horses to the ground, and were trampled into flesh by the dense war horses.

The 13,000 rows of Sui crossbowmen were skillful, and the crossbows, crossbows, and crossbows were fired in turn, and only three rounds were fired, and the Turkic cavalry lost more than 10,000 people, and the heavy losses made the murderous spirit of the Turkic cavalry quickly fade, and the formation began to be messy, and at this time, the forward had rushed to sixty paces away.

The crossbowmen of the Sui army retreated like a tide, the archers who had been waiting for a long time began to shoot vigorously, the archers used longbow arrows, the arrows were two feet three inches long, the steel clusters were sharp, and they shot out at an elevation angle, five thousand arrows were as dense as a torrential rain, the strength was strong, and even the people and horses could shoot through, and the 10,000 Turkic cavalry and war horses that rushed through the front fell to the ground with arrows, and the dead bodies piled up, the arrows of the Sui army were extremely fast, so that the Turkic cavalry rushed forward and were shot over, and the crossbowmen cooperated with the launch, the Turkic cavalry never rushed within forty steps, suffered heavy casualties, and the Turkic cavalry began to be in chaos.

Zhou Luohu, the commander of the First Army, saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and he immediately asked Yang Su for his life, "I am willing to be a striker!" ”

Yang Su said coldly: "You lead four thousand heavy cavalry to attack the Turkic Chinese army, if you are defeated, come and see you!" ”

"Obey!"

The drums of the Sui army's attack were loud, the blue flag waved, and the four thousand most elite heavy cavalry launched, people wore heavy armor, horses wore heavy armor, waved iron halberds, and followed the blue battle flag to kill the Turkic cavalry, which was the Great Sui Dynasty spent 20 years of painstaking efforts to create a cavalry outfit, with the best war horses, the most powerful soldiers, and the most ferocious weapons.

This army rarely fought to defend the Jingshi, but Yang Su threw them into battle in the first battle, and he wanted to break the morale of the Turks with the most powerful heavy cavalry.

At this time, after a fierce bow and arrow battle, the initial monstrous murderous spirit of the Turkic cavalry has disappeared and can not be obtained, they were originally herdsmen of various tribes, without the iron will of the Sui army, all rely on a drum to defeat the enemy, his morale is high fast, fade quickly, when the dream of plundering the enemy's property is shattered, they begin to hesitate, began to miss the wife and children and lambs at home, it is early spring, it is the time when the ewe gives cubs, and it is difficult for the wife and father to take care of it.....

The 4,000 heavily armored cavalry were like an indestructible iron fist, and everywhere they passed, the corpses of the Turkic cavalry were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river, killing the Turkic cavalry to the point that some tribes began to take the lead in turning around and fleeing.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Yang Su immediately ordered, "Suppress my whole army, and cut those who retreat!" ”

The drums were beating, the battle flag was flying, and the 80,000 Sui army, which had been gathering momentum for a long time, attacked the whole army, overwhelmingly killing the Turkic cavalry, the Turkic front army fell apart in an instant, turned around and fled, and then the army was at a loss for the reason, and it was also swept away, and more than 100,000 Turkic cavalry completely collapsed, and was killed crying and screaming.....

Yang Yuanqing led his subordinates, like thousands of other scouts, to intercept on the periphery, and they galloped and rode with powerful arrows, knocking the fleeing Turkic cavalry to the ground.

Yang Yuanqing was shooting outside the Chinese army, and at this time, the fat fish suddenly shouted behind him: "That's Yuwen Taibao!" ”

Yang Yuanqing also saw it from a distance, Yuwen Chengdu waved the phoenix wings gilt boring, galloped in the enemy group, like a tiger into the flock, the Turkic cavalry died next to each other, and died when touched, killing flesh and blood, and the corpses around him were piled up, and the blood flowed like a river.

But Yang Yuanqing's eyes were attracted by something else, the golden wolf-headed banner of the Turkic Khan, running in the chaotic army not far away, Yuwen Chengdu was coming towards it.

The blood of the man's competitive merit boiled in his chest, and Yang Yuanqing shouted, "Brothers, follow me to kill Chief Hu and make meritorious service!" ”

He wielded a long lance, led his men to kill the Turkic cavalry, at this time the Turkic cavalry has been like a frightened bird, they lost their armor, fled for their lives in the vast grassland, there was no will to resist, Yang Yuanqing's horse lance flew over, the horizontal knife out of the sheath, the lance picked the knife to split, led his companions to kill a bloody road, Yang Su's eighteen iron guards appeared beside them unconsciously, and fought side by side with them, killing the Turkic cavalry The head is rolling, and the corpses are all over the field.

Yang Yuanqing had fought through the encirclement, and had surpassed Yuwen Chengdu, and he clearly saw the Datou Khan in golden helmets and golden armor, under the protection of hundreds of ironclad guards, fleeing for his life, but his ironclad cavalry was too densely defended, and if they killed like this, their companions would inevitably be killed and wounded.

Yang Yuanqing's mind turned, he hung up the lance, opened his bow to take the arrow, rushed from the oblique spur, pulled the bow and shot an arrow at Datou Khan sixty steps away, his bow was extremely strong, Datou Khan was defenseless, was shot through the back armor by an arrow, blood splashed, Datou screamed, turned over and fell off the horse.

Yang Yuanqing was overjoyed, and swooped away with a long lance, "Hu thief, take the head!" ”

Datou Khan's personal soldiers saw that the Khan was hit by an arrow and fell off the horse, they were all frightened, several pro-soldiers dragged him and fled, and the other dozen people roared, killing Yang Yuanqing, Yang Yuanqing waved his lance to fight, extremely brave, in an instant, he picked up six people and dismounted, the others were frightened and frightened, turned around and fled, and at this time, the seriously injured Datou Khan had fled far away, and could not catch up.

Yang Yuanqing's eyes flashed, the commander of the guards beside Datou Khan rode back on a divine horse war horse, the fiery red war horse seemed to be the mount of Datou Khan, the commander of the thousand was to take down the golden wolf head banner that fell to the ground, he crotched the war horse divine horse, the horse was extremely fast, a beautiful iron plate bridge, brushed the ground to pick up the banner, and galloped back.

At this time, it was too late for Yang Yuanqing to open his bow and arrows, he didn't think twice, waved his arm and threw the long lance in his hand hard, the long lance crossed a black arc in the air, penetrating the back of the heart of the Turkic commander, and the commander screamed miserably, and was nailed to the ground.

Yang Yuanqing rushed with the momentum of the horse, he jumped up, grabbed the flagpole that had not yet landed in the air, and sat firmly on the thousand-long horse, he pulled out the horse lance, looked up to the sky and roared, holding high the golden wolf-headed banner of the Turkic Khan and galloping into the wind.

......

In the spring of the 19th year of the emperor's reign, Yang Su, the chief general of the Western Route Army, led 100,000 Sui troops to meet the 130,000 troops of the Western Turkic Datou Khan in the north of Wuyuan, Yang Su gave up the traditional tactics and defeated the Western Turkic army of more than 100,000 with cavalry against cavalry, and killed nearly 40,000 enemies before and after, and captured 10,000 alive, the Western Turkic army wailed and cried bitterly, and the Datou Khan was seriously injured in the chaotic army and fled, and the banner of the Golden Wolf Head Khan was captured, which was the first fiasco of the Western Turkic army.
