Chapter 85: Armageddon II
Zhang said this very reasonably, as long as the Turks are kept dense enough, they are the best targets for crossbow shooting. And the Tang Dynasty invested tens of thousands of strong crossbows this time, and this "firepower" is quite powerful, and every time it is shot, it will cause heavy casualties to the Turks.
It is foreseeable that if the Turks had maintained the current density, the Tang army would have only needed to use a strong crossbow to clean up the Turks.
Of course, a strong crossbow can't shoot all the Turks, but it can also shoot seven, seven, eight, eight, eight, and the rest will not pose a threat to the Tang army.
"Zhang said, your idea is very good, it depends on how you make the Turks dense enough." Wang Xiaojie greatly appreciated Zhang's idea and mentioned a critical point.
Although Zhang's idea is good, if the Turks are not dense enough, it will be in vain. To achieve this, the key lies in how to make the Turks dense enough.
"It's simple, you just need to drive it away." Zhang said that he didn't take it to heart.
"Whew! Shout! Shout! Just then, the crossbow made a second round of kills.
The overwhelming crossbow bolts appeared in the air, facing the Turks, and in a shocking scream, the Turks suffered heavy casualties, and there was a thick layer of corpses on the ground.
"Run! Run! The hateful and hateful Tang army wants to slaughter us, so flee quickly. ”
"If you don't run away, you won't have a chance."
"We're in a desperate situation, there's no chance, how can we escape?"
"There's a vacant space there, let's go there."
"It's not an open space, it's the Khan's army that is gathering, and we'll be killed in the past."
"The Khan is really ruthless, and he actually killed us, which is even more hateful than the hateful and hateful Tang Army."
"If you don't go, you can't do it. The Tang Army is terrible. ”
The panicked Turks screamed. Frightened, they fled towards the clearing cleared by the Turkic army. I want to stay away from the Tang Army.
Who called the Tang Army so terrible? The crossbow is too terrible to shoot, like the end of the world.
"Stop, don't come." The assembled Turkic army rushed and roared at the rushing Turks.
"Why can't you come? Don't you see that the Tang Army is going on a killing spree? If we didn't get far away, we would have been shot by the Tang army. ”
"That's right. You are the warriors of the Great Turks, and it is only natural for you to protect us, why are you not allowed to come here? There is no such reason. ”
The terrified Turks don't care about those. Just rush over it.
At first glance, I saw a black press, like a sea tide.
"If you dare to come, we will kill you."
"No wonder we didn't warn you."
The Turkic army was ready as if it were dealing with the enemy, not the Turks.
"Kill and kill, who is afraid of whom?"
"That's right. If we kill you, we still have the strength to fight back, and we don't have the slightest power to fight back against the Tang Army. ”
"You are so hateful that you have killed us."
The Turks are indescribably angry. Shouting loudly, not taking the warnings of the Turkic army to heart at all.
The combat power of the Tang army was too terrifying. Far from being able to deal with the Turks. Relatively speaking, it was still the Turkic army that was easy to deal with, because they chose the lesser of two evils, and would rather fight with the Turkic army than face the Tang army.
"The Khan has an order, kill them all!" The Turkic generals roared and commanded the Turkic army to kill.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! The Turks let out a terrifying roar and rushed forward with a curved bow.
As a result, a scuffle broke out between the Turkic army and the Turkic herdsmen.
The space that had been cleared out was quickly occupied by the Turkic herds, and Mo Si's efforts were in vain.
"Damn! Damn it! Mo Si looked in his eyes, dumbfounded, and shouted vigorously, but he was helpless.
Killing the Turkic herdsmen and clearing the space for the assembly of troops and the ease of fighting is a good way to save the situation, although vicious. However, the Turkic herdsmen rushed in, all their efforts were in vain, and their hearts were dripping blood.
"Hey!" Lust Valley and Ashid? Yuan Zhen saw it in his eyes and let out a long sigh.
If they can't clear enough space and gather troops, they can only let the Tang army slaughter them, and they can't help but be frightened.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Mo sobbed angrily, brandished his scimitar, slashed the herdsmen, and shouted loudly.
Look at his angry face, as if the Turkic herdsmen were his father-killers.
"What else can be done besides killing?" Lust Valley and Ashid? Yuan Zhen knew that the situation was critical, and he couldn't care so much about it at the moment, so he could only kill the herdsmen, clear the space, and gather the army.
Their ideas are very good, but they are destined not to come true, because Zhang said that they would not be given a chance.
Whenever the Turkic army killed a group of herders and cleared a certain amount of space, more herdsmen immediately came to fill the space they had cleared, making their efforts in vain.
"It's over! Finished! Looking at the Turkic herdsmen who came like a sea tide, they couldn't kill them all, and they were all about to faint when they were silently dark.
The Tang army was like a wolf and a tiger, shooting with a strong crossbow while driving away, and the Turkic herdsmen could not rush over.
In this way, the Tang army gradually compressed the space of the Turks and drove the Turks into the passes.
Within a day's effort, there were no Turks outside the pass, which meant that more than half of the Turks had been killed or wounded.
"Lots of corpses!" Li Longji stood on the top of the mountain and looked down, only to see a thick layer of corpses outside the pass, densely gathered, like hemp rods.
Moreover, the ground was red, stained red by the blood of the Turks and the cattle, sheep and horses.
I don't know how many Turks were slaughtered, there was too much blood, and after the ground was soaked, and then trampled by people, the ground was muddy, and it had become a blood-colored mire.
The smell of blood in the air was too strong to be disgusting.
However, the slaughter continues.
After cleaning up the Turks outside the pass, the Tang army blocked the entrance to the pass and began to massacre the Turks in the pass.
It is still the old rule, use the crossbow array to open the way, supplemented by the Mo knife battle array, and drive the Turks towards the open space as much as possible, so that the Turks can maintain enough density.
The most depressed was Mosi, who led the Turkic army. Several times a clearing was cleared. However, several times again and again became useless. It was again occupied by Turkic herders.
In just one day, more than half of the Turks were killed and wounded, nearly a million Turks, and four or five hundred thousand died, which is really too amazing, and looking at the entire history of China, there is no such a terrible massacre.
Of the four or five hundred thousand people who died, half were beheaded by the Turkic army.
"Don't kill it. Don't kill. Mo Si also understood that the Tang army was deliberate, deliberately driving out the Turkic herdsmen, and wanted the Turks to kill each other, and he decided not to kill them.
"Hey." Lust Valley and Ashid? Yuan Zhen also knew that the general trend had gone, and it was useless to kill again, it was impossible to gather troops, and it was impossible to resist.
The silent slurp will soon appear, and it will not work if you don't kill it.
Because countless Turks are coming, and they will trample on each other. There were countless casualties, and it was more terrible than cannibalism.
"This ......," Mo Si was completely speechless.
"Kill! Kill! Sirp thought twice. It's better to kill.
Cannibalism, although there were heavy casualties, but the herdsmen were killed and wounded most, and his army suffered far fewer casualties, and he was able to keep the army as much as possible.
And stampeded to death, not only the herdsmen, but also his army, the casualties of the army were surprisingly high, much higher than cannibalism. After thinking about it, it is better to kill each other.
So, cannibalism began to play out again.
Cannibalism, coupled with the massacre of the Don army, resulted in heavy Turkic casualties and a sharp decrease in survivors.
"Khan, this is not a way, you have to find a way to escape." Lust Valley's face is distorted, and it no longer looks like a human face.
"Run, run, run, how? If you can escape, do you still need to say it? Silent roar.
"Khan, why don't you attack from the mountains on both sides." I want to turn off the idea.
"You think I don't want to? I have attacked the mountains on both sides many times, but there is no effect, how can I escape? Mo Si was very angry and sneered.
When Li Longji blocked the Turks with 20,000 men, he thought about occupying the mountains on both sides, but it was useless. Now, the Tang army has increased its forces on the mountains on both sides, and it is even more hopeless.
"Khan, you can set fire." Asst? Yuan Zhen was busy coming up with ideas.
"Set fire? It's a good idea, you can try it. Mosi's eyes lit up, he hadn't thought about setting fire yet.
So, at the sound of an order, the Turks began to set fire to the mountains on both sides, wanting to burn the Tang army to death.
"Setting fires, it's finally getting a little interesting." Li Longji saw it in his eyes and nodded.
"It's a good idea, it's a bit troublesome, but it's not impossible." Wang Xiaojie asked Zhang Shuo: "Zhang Shuo, how to crack it?" ”
"Well, that's easy, just cut down the nearby trees." Zhang said that resourceful people have a way to deal with it.
"Great idea!" Wang Xiaojie gave a thumbs up and praised it.
"Zhang Shuo is worthy of Zhang Shuo, and the idea of making a separation belt can also be imagined, not bad!" Li Longji greatly appreciated it.
As soon as the order was laid, the Tang troops in the mountains on both sides began to cut down trees, creating a barrier.
When the fire burned here, it was extinguished, but the Tang army was helpless.
"It's over! Finished! Silent Si only felt the sky spin and fell from the horse.
"Do I really want to be the second?" Mo Si only felt pain in his heart, and he didn't catch his breath and fainted.
Jieli Khan was captured alive by the Tang army at the mouth of the moraine, and now, he is going to be defeated here, and the Turks will be wiped out. Can he not faint in anger?
"Grandpa Tang Jun, we are willing to surrender!"
"Ancestor of the Tang Army, we are willing to surrender!"
Seeing that he was cornered, the Turks knelt on the ground and begged to surrender.
As soon as someone surrendered, someone immediately followed suit, and in the blink of an eye, they knelt down and pressed a piece of black pressure, I don't know how many Turks wanted to surrender.
"Kill all the Turkic dogs!"
However, in response to them was the relentless shouting of the Tang army, and the massacre of the Tang army continued, without mercy.
"Ancestor of the Tang Army, why don't you let us surrender?" The Turks were completely stunned.
"Blood debt and blood payment!"
"Slaughter the Turkic dogs!"
The Tang army burst out with a shocking roar, and the slaughter became even sharper.
In the autumn of last year, the Turks attacked the north, burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil, and there were more than 100,000 or 200,000 people in the border passes who died under the Turkic knife.
"Self-inflicted, you can't live, that's what you say!" Lust Valley and Ashid? Yuan Zhen understood that the Tang army was going to kill them all, and his heart sank. (To be continued......)
