Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Hu rode back and forth, bows and arrows like shuttles.

The Sui army was in left and right formations, advancing with chariot battalions, with bows and crossbows behind, and firing at the Turkic cavalry.

Under the golden wolf, Shibi Khan wrapped his forehead in white silk, exposed his braids, wore a green silk robe, and sat on a horse. Seeing the offensive of the Sui army, Shibi Khan's face was full of disdain, but at this time, he suddenly sighed.

I saw that the central phalanx of the Sui army suddenly cracked, the cold light flashed, the cavalry was covered with Mingguang armor, and the cavalry of the war horse was draped in horse armor, appearing in the attack lineup of the Sui army.

Shibi Khan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Does the Sui army want to charge the battle with men and horses wearing iron armor?" ”

"Such a pile of iron lumps, how can I run, how can I bend my bow and shoot arrows, will not become the target of my Turkic archery practice."

Shibi Khan's voice fell, and Zhao Deyan on the side said: "The Great Khan needs to be cautious, this is the armored cavalry of the Sui court, and its iron armor can avoid bows, arrows, knives and guns, and it is the elite of the Sui army." ”

"No matter how elite it is, it's a target!" Shibi Khan whipped his horse, "Tong Lifushe, you lead the wolf to ride and annihilate this Sui army for me!" ”

"Yes, Great Khan." He said loudly that he was the younger brother of Shibi Khan, and held the official position of the Turkic 'set', and commanded 20,000 soldiers.

At this moment, the iron rider stepped on the ground.

Li Shimin led the armored cavalry of the Sui army and slowly approached the wolf banner of Shibi Khan.

This armored cavalry, except for the private soldiers of the Li family, is mostly a Qubu raised by the heroes of the five counties of Bingzhou. In order to carry out the task of killing Shibi Khan, he was drawn from various departments, temporarily organized into four regiments, arranged into five horizontal teams, and two in front and three behind, that is, eight hundred iron cavalry rushed into formation.

The cold light is iron-claded, wearing the armored cavalry of bright light armor, the cold light is heavy, the red helmet on the head pocket, the wind is swaying, the armored riders are holding horse lances, big guns, and spears to drive the horses forward, and every time the horse's hooves fall, the strength is better than a thousand jun, like an iron armor big thing to advance.

At the beginning, the Turkic rangers were taken by the momentum of the armored cavalry, and did not rush forward, and after the first and second of the Turkic cavalry, the Turkic cavalry immediately listened to the order.

The horn sounded, and large groups of Turkic cavalry were transferred to the front of the armored cavalry.

Suddenly, there was a sound of arrows, and several tribes attached to the Turks on the side couldn't hold back and stepped forward together.

Li Shimin held a horse lance and looked at the golden wolf banner of Shibi Khan, and silently counted the distance in his heart.

Seeing the Turkic cavalry coming forward, they did not meet the mounted iron cavalry head-on, but used the usual tactics of the Turkic cavalry, walking diagonally left and right, copying the enemy's flanks.

Two Turkic cavalry roared out, stretching their bows and arrows on their horses.

Run!

One of the generals saw the coming momentum of the Turkic cavalry and asked, "General?" Is it ......?" Li Shimin stretched out his hand and remained silent.

At this time, the Turkic cavalry released arrows from a hundred paces away, bows and arrows fell from the sky, and most of the bows and arrows fell on the armor of men and horses equipped with iron horses.

Every Great Sui is equipped with iron horses, which can be said to be armed to the teeth, not to mention the armor on his body, his face is also covered with iron masks, and only a pair of eyes are exposed on his body, and the war horse under his crotch is also wrapped in iron armor except for the four hooves.

In this round of arrow shooting, none of the 800 mounted iron horsemen dismounted.

The 800 iron cavalry trapped in the battle were still approaching the Turkic army step by step, like a thousand pounds.

The conductor, Livers, was not surprised at all.

Wait until a round of Rangers returns.

"Your bows are too soft," commanded Liversh in a deep voice, "give me a hard time, and shoot closely!" ”

With that, he set out with the wolf rider under his command.

This time, the Turkic cavalry, armed not only with bows and arrows, but also with tripwires and lassoes, this time not from the side, but from the front, riding directly with armor.

Bows and arrows, horse shackles, both were sharp weapons of the Turks. Turkic law, horse thieves stumble to death.

And horse stumbling is best for bulky armored riders.

Seeing the Turkic cavalry dispatch again, Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, and he was still counting silently in his heart.

"Brother Shimin, the Turkic cavalry is coming up again," Chai Shao's face was unconscious, with a little anxiety, and said to Li Shimin, "You can order the iron cavalry to fall into battle!" ”

Li Shimin shook his head, lifted the horse lance high, and pressed it down heavily.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves on the left and right sides rolled, and the six regiments of Da Sui light cavalry, following behind the armored cavalry, came out of the gaps on both sides of the armored cavalry.

Most of these cavalry are Li Jiaqu's troops, and they are the most good at fighting, and they all imitate the Turkic cavalry on weekdays.

Therefore, in this fight, the Turkic wolf cavalry thought at first glance that it had encountered its own cavalry. The bows and arrows of the two sides exchanged arrows, and the arrows were fired at each other on the horses, and the light cavalry of the Sui army did not let the Turkic cavalry and approached the place where the heavily armored cavalry was.

Smoke and dust billowed and horses neighed.

In front of him is thousands of troops and horses galloping, Li Chongjiu only saw the Turkic wolves riding, and did not fight indiscriminately, which is different from the imaginary scene of thousands of horses charging and colliding head-on like an epic war scene.

The Turkic cavalry rode diagonally on both wings, and walked away with one blow, whirling like the wind.

Even a small number of elite Turkic cavalry would pretend to be invincible, deceitful defeat and lure the Sui cavalry to pursue, while retreating, while turning back to shoot arrows, so that in the future, the Mongols dominated the European Mangu tactics.

The Turks brought the nomadic cavalry tactics to the fullest.

Behind Li Chongjiu, Li Hu, Su Su, and Sun Erniang were all stunned.

The Turks are so fierce, compared to their more than 100 dart division cavalry, that level is not enough at all.

Whether it is the Turkic cavalry or the Li Jiaqu department, the gap is not in one or two grades in comparison.

Li Chongjiu shook his head silently when he saw it, and said in his heart that his Huaihuang Town would be based on the grassland in the future, and I am afraid it would be difficult.

On the battlefield, the cavalry of the Sui army continued to throw blood and fall off their horses, and some were lured out and surrounded and annihilated by the Turkic cavalry.

Whining!

The Turkic trumpets sounded.

The Turkic cavalry, which had risen to the top, regained its momentum and gathered troops and horses on both flanks to prepare for the next round of assault.

And the assault of thousands of Turkic cavalry caused most of the cavalry of the Sui Army of the Sixth Regiment to be lost.

Li Chongjiu immediately shook his head, according to this trend, the cavalry of the Sui army suffered such a heavy loss, and as the cavalry of the second and third lines, he also had to go into battle in order to protect the armored cavalry.

"Second brother! It's time. ”

Li Zhiwan said to Li Shimin on the side.

Li Shimin watched silently, and now the eight hundred mounted cavalry were already deeply wedged into the formation of the Turkic army.

At this time, the horn of the Turkic cavalry sounded again, ready to equip the Sui army with cavalry and launch a third round of charge. Li Shimin gritted his teeth and made a decision at this time.

Behind him, the drum suddenly sounded.

After hearing the sound of drums, the eight hundred armored horsemen immediately took the reins, did not turn their horses' heads, and turned to the striking golden wolf banner of Shibi Khan.

"Swear to kill the enemy chieftain!"

Li Shimin exhaled heavily and lifted the horse lance to the sky.

When the eight hundred armored horsemen heard this, they all shouted in unison, and let out a tsunami-like shout, and the cavalry rode their horses together and began to charge.

The Turkic cavalry almost at the same time felt as if the ground had sunk for a moment, and saw the Sui army's armored cavalry like a landslide, killing them in an unrelenting manner.

"Bastard, the Sui army's target is the Great Khan." Liversh said silently. At the same time, in the direction of Fenyang Palace, 20,000 Sui Dynasty Praetorian Guards began to exert their strength and struggled to break through.
