Chapter 4: The First Battle

Ammonium Northern Jin III was a Turkic commander.

For Datang, Ammonium Beijin San is no stranger at all. In the past few years, he has followed the wolf banner of Jieli Khan and has set foot in Datang several times.

In the eyes of Ammonium North Jinsan, the Tang Dynasty is very rich and beautiful, but the Tang people are very unbeaten. His scimitar had already drunk the blood of dozens of Tang soldiers; His horse's hooves also crushed the brains of many Tang people.

For the Tang people who died at their own hands, Ammonium Beijin Sanda was grateful in his heart. If it weren't for these dead ghosts, he wouldn't have been promoted from an ordinary detachment (guard) to a commander so quickly.

Datang is really rich! Every time he followed the Great Khan to threak in the grass valley, he could harvest piles of grain, silk, gold and silver. Ammonium North Jinsan's favorite thing to do is to empty all the things in the Tang people's house, and then put a fire on it, listening to the owner of the house howling in the fire.

Whenever this happens, he is inexplicably excited.

But the most exciting thing is to press those Tang women whose skin is smoother than silk under them and ravage them fiercely. Their cries of pain are simply the most beautiful voices in the world.

This time, the Great Khan came with them again.

The Great Khan is truly a hero of the steppe. I heard that the goal of the Great Khan this time was Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. There, there lived the emperor of the Tang people, whom the Great Khan said had fought alongside him before.

There are also heroes in the Tang who can fight side by side with the Great Khan? Ammonium North Jinzo was a little skeptical.

Back then, even the father of the current emperor had surrendered to our steppe and borrowed soldiers from the steppe. But now, we are not here to help the Tang people fight, we are here to conquer the Tang people.

Ammonium North Jinsan was fortunate to be transferred to the command of the pioneer officer Ashde Wumersi, and became the sharp knife to conquer the Tang Dynasty; He was fortunate enough to be sent a large battalion by Ashid Wumersi to attack the Tang army that came from Chang'an to support Jingyang.

Although the number of these Tang troops has not yet been figured out, his task is only to slow down their march in order to ensure that the vanguard officers can break through Jingyang City on time.

Therefore, although he only brought a thousand cavalry from his headquarters, Ammonium North Jinsan was full of confidence in completing the task. It only takes to stop the Tang Army for an hour. The vanguard officer has now begun to attack the city, a small Jingyang City, and the Turkic warriors can definitely break through it in an hour. As soon as the main force of the Great Khan arrived, no matter how many Tang troops there were, they would only be left with the fate of being slaughtered.

When there was still a distance of 500 meters from the Tang army's position, Ammonium Beijin San reined in his horse, raised his hand, and the sound of horses' hooves rolling behind him also stopped abruptly, and all the 1,000 cavalry stopped.

Glancing at the large array formed by the Tang Army, there was contempt in the eyes of Ammonium Beijin San. Hmph, it's still the same old thing, shield soldiers, pikemen, and crossbowmen in front, archers and sword soldiers in the back, and a small number of cavalry to protect the wings. After so many years of fighting, the formation of the Tang Army has not changed much.

As soon as the scimitar was raised, the sound of broken horses' hooves behind the ammonium Beijin San rang out. This is the Turks adjusting their stormtrooper formation. The distance of 500 meters was just enough for the cavalry to push the horse's sprint to the extreme. Ammonium North Jinsan believed that as long as there was a sprint, the formation of these Tang troops in front of him would immediately scatter. The formation is chaotic, and no matter how many people there are, there is no combat effectiveness.

On the opposite side, Yu Chi Gong, Yu Chi Baolin, and Zhao Yunze were also observing the Turks.

"Chief, these Turkic cavalry are well-trained!" Zhao Yunze praised it.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. Although it was the first time to see a large-scale cavalry force in ancient times, the style of the Turkic cavalry just now, the neat and neat movements, and the tacit cooperation between each other still made Zhao Yunze see the extraordinaryness of this group of Turks at a glance.

"Hmph, Lao Tzu also admits that with the same number of people, the current army of the Tang Dynasty cannot defeat the Turks." Wei Chigong said unwillingly. "But these people, who hold up for a thousand days, want to eat a certain 5,000 people and have a special dream!"

As he spoke, the Turkic cavalry moved. The thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and the Turkic cavalry was like a tiger...... Like a pack of wild dogs, they rushed towards the camp of the Tang Army.

"Crossbowmen ready!" Wei Chigong gave an order, and the drum and bugle soldier beside him beat a rhythmic drum beat. The crossbowmen in front of the horse and behind them, under the cover of the shield soldiers, raised the crossbows in their hands.

400 meters, 300 meters...... The distance between the Turkic cavalry and the large array of the Don army was rapidly decreasing.

When the advance of the Turkic army reached a distance of two hundred meters from the Tang army, Wei Chigong gave the order again: "Shoot!" ”

As soon as the drum beat changed, the crossbowmen in the front army pulled the crossbow machine together, and a cold light shot towards the Turkic cavalry. The galloping Turkic cavalry made evasive moves, but dozens of people were still shot off their horses. Those who fell off their horses, in the charging formation of the cavalry galloping, had to accept the fate of being trampled to death.

Although the crossbow was more powerful than the bow and arrow, it was more troublesome to wind, and the former crossbowmen fired only one round of arrows, and then immediately retreated, giving up their position to the pikemen.

A round of crossbow arrows did not slow down the charge of the Turkic cavalry in the slightest, and in the blink of an eye it entered a distance of a hundred meters. Only then did the Turkic knights on the horse bend their bows and arrows, and shoot back at the Tang army while charging. The range of the bow and arrow is far less than that of the crossbow, and the Turks with the previous round of crossbow arrows can only stare dryly.

Protected by shield soldiers, the casualties caused by this round of return fire by the Turkic cavalry against the Don army were minimal.

"Archer throw!"

Wei Chigong gave another order, and the beat of the drum changed again, and the archers behind the pikemen immediately shot feathered arrows diagonally upward. The arrows passed over their pikemen and rained down on the heads of the Turkic cavalry.

The crossbow archers of the Tang army used flat fire, which caused a certain amount of damage to the Turkic cavalry. However, this time, the archers' projectile was not very lethal because the cavalry was scattered when they charged, and only a dozen horsemen were shot. Of course, this is also directly related to the small number of archers in the Tang Army.

Whether it's a crossbow or a bow, it's a consumable weapon. At this time, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was still very weak, and it could not create so many arrows, so it could only reduce the number of crossbowmen. Hit three or five arrows with iron to create a spear head. Put the head of the spear on the long wooden pole and you can equip a pikeman. And the lethality of pikemen in the battle formation is far greater than that of crossbowmen. Anyway, the most worthless thing in war is human life, so let's fill it with human life.

Fortunately, the bow fires faster than the crossbow, which also makes up for some of the lethality. The archers fired three rounds in a row before the Turkic cavalry rushed to the front.

Ammonium Kitajin San is at the front of the stormtrooper formation. At this time, if he was interested, he could even count the eyebrows of the Tang soldiers in front of him.

Raising the scimitar in his hand, Ammonium North Jinsan was ready to reap the lives of the Tang soldiers again. The greatest combat power of the cavalry is not the bows and arrows on the horses, but the indomitable charging power.

The light cavalry cavalry and archery method created by the so-called "generation of Tianjiao" in Mongolia did not appear until hundreds of years later.

"Kill!" Ammonium Beijin San shouted, drove his horse around a rejecting horse, and slashed at a Tang army pikeman. Just now I let the crossbowmen and archers of the Tang Army take advantage of it, and now, it's time to repay the debt.

It's time to pay it back!

The blade of the Ammonium North Jin San could slash into the neck of the Tang Army, and he had already seen the very young Tang Army soldier show a look of fear.

It's so tender, it's only sixteen or seventeen years old. Such a tender baby, if it weren't for the battle array, it would be good to take it back to warm my bed, and I can eat it for both men and women. It's a pity!

The obscene thought of Ammonium North Jin San was just a flash. Just as he was about to watch the Tang soldier's neck spurt bright red blood, he suddenly felt a sharp blow to his throat, and a cold cold ran from his throat through his entire neck. Immediately after, his body flew away from the war horse and fell to the ground.

Pain, incomparably painful! Sullen, extremely sullen! Looking at the extra iron arrow on his neck, Ammonium North Jinsan couldn't breathe at the moment, he knew that he was finished. He was afraid, unwilling, and somewhat clear. Perhaps, those Tang people who have been killed by themselves are also in this mood before they die.

After a few futile struggles, Ammonium North Jinsan turned from an invincible robber into a good man. Dead ammonium north is good ammonium north!

"One arrow through the throat! Boy, you're there! ”

Looking at the good man who had become a corpse, Yu Chigong kicked Zhao Yunze on the shoulder. He originally wanted to slap with a slap, but others were riding on horses, and Zhao Yunze was standing on the ground, and the slap couldn't reach it at all.

Zhao Yunze forcibly carried Yu Chigong's bear kick, there was no smug look on his face, he was already aiming at the next Turk with his crossbow.

Dead black pot face, unhappy to kick Lao Tzu, happy to kick Lao Tzu, at this time the master has no time to take care of you, wait until the account is finished and then find you to settle the general account. It's not much, even if it's ten taels of silver. In other words, what is the exchange rate between Datang's silver and the "soft sister coin"?

Ammonium North Jin San was killed by Zhao Yunze with an arrow through the throat, and more than a dozen Turkic cavalry who saw this scene happening were shocked and the offensive was delayed. And the Turks, who did not know about it, were still charging frantically.

The spear pierced the horse's belly, and the Turks overturned with the men and horses.

The scimitar slashed through the neck, and the blood of the Tang soldiers was splashed.

The hand-to-hand battles were fierce.

Zhao Yunze's heart was like water at the moment. He looked into the scope and saw the gap between the Tang troops, and fired a series of crossbow arrows at the Turks. In no case, one by one, the Turkic cavalry fell from their horses with arrows.

entered the best psychological state during the usual training, and the sound of fighting and the sound of gold and iron were deaf to Zhao Yunze; Blood splattered and severed limbs fluttered wildly, and they were equally ignored.

It wasn't until Yu Chi Baolin's shout that Zhao Yunze's concentration was disturbed.

"The Turkic leader is dead!"

Yu Chi Baolin's shout was very timely, and when he shouted, Tang Jun, who knew how to come over, also shouted together.

"The Turkic leader is deadβ€”"

All of a sudden, a unified voice on the battlefield overwhelmed all the noise.

The Turks who could not understand Chinese were confused, what was the Tang Army shouting?

The Turks who could understand Chinese panicked, and they subconsciously raised their eyes to look for the figure of Ammonium North Jinsan. On the battlefield, where can there be a trace of sloppiness, it is this trance that has cost many Turks their lives.

Sometimes, knowing a foreign language is not necessarily a good thing. Of course, it's not a good thing to not know a foreign language, don't you see that those confused Turks are also recruited. This is a war, you are confused, a big-headed ghost, look for death!

The formation of the Turkic charge was out of order.

This is the time!

Wei Chigong accurately grasped the fighter, and with an order, the pikemen in the front fought and retreated, and the five hundred Mo swordsmen hidden in the rear stepped forward with neat steps.
