Chapter Forty-Six: Confronting the Sudden Night Attack
His curiosity gradually subsided, he knew that the sound of the piano, and the person who played the piano, did not have much to do with him, life is like this, sometimes, there is no meeting, just become a hurried passerby, never see each other, and will never see each other again.
He closed his eyes, picked up a pebble, and slowly wrote on the ground the strange words he had written down, and when he had finished writing ten, he erased it and wrote it again.
This is his daily work, although he does not know what the substantial benefits are, but he feels very fulfilled in his heart, and feels that he has had another meaningful day.
"Forty-seven words." He did the math.
There are more than 100 words on the bamboo slips, originally, such bamboo slips, forty or fifty words have been arranged, but these strange villain words are particularly magical, they are engraved very small, and they are just right to make people see clearly, plus the type of font is different from the common text of the Tang Dynasty, and more than 100 words have been arranged one after another.
"It's a little over half." He did the math again.
Then, he smiled bitterly again.
"Although I still don't know what #use it will be after memorizing."
He looked in the direction where the sound of the piano came from, pursed his lips, and then thought: I don't know if I will be pulled out tomorrow to fight the Turpents, it's time to rest and recuperate early.
To tell the truth, those months of hard labor really consumed almost all his strength.
……
……
Ashinaqin's cavalry did not easily have a large-scale battle with Li Xianyue's Tang army, and the turbulent cavalry was good at raiding, coming and going like the wind, and had amazing destructive power in the hands of the temptation.
Li Xianyue's desire to force the two sides into a battlefield favorable to him is definitely not something that can be done in a short period of time.
The intermittent sexual harassment of the abrupt light cavalry in the face of various deployments in Datang began again.
Although those were small actions such as burning grain and grass and attacking some camps at night, the Tang army was overwhelmed with annoyance in the long run, and gradually, the army had a lot of consumption, especially those who didn't know how to fight at all, and were pushed onto the battlefield in such a mess and sent to the frontier, suffered heavy casualties.
Ashinaqin's main force has not yet appeared, of course it is impossible for the Tang army to drag the elite troops out to "play" with those harassing cavalry, in any case, even if it is harassment, it will also die, in this case, can't the dead be those who don't have much hope of living?
At night, the flames soared into the sky, and the shouts of killing were deafening, indicating that the night attack of the abrupt light cavalry had begun again.
When the soldiers on the watchtower saw the sudden surge of five or six hundred cavalry, they were naturally the kind of people who were pushed out in large numbers to intercept them.
What kind of people?
Someone like Guan Kuo.
When you really meet those abrupt people who used to scoff at you, you will realize their terribleness, and you will know that the phrase "Lu Fei of the horse is fast, and the bow is like a thunderbolt" can not only be used to describe the Tang Army, but also to describe these abrupt light horses like black lightning in the dark night.
The Tuvis are a nomadic people, they are a people who grew up on horseback, they have been practicing riding since they were young, practicing archery, in the plains, their archers can fly your kites very happily (this sentence is very apt haha), once your cavalry or other arms charge and want to chase their archers, I don't know when a few light cavalry will come and kill you, when the two sides staggered, their archers will start to fly your kite again, until they put you like a hedgehog, They won't stop either.
They don't have horses, they don't even have armor, they only have a spear.
At least not with bare hands, isn't it okay?
The speed of the abrupt cavalry is very fast, one moment you see the dark shadow of him riding a horse in your eyes, and the next moment, his saber "clicks" and your throat is slashed.
It turns out that people like Guan Kuo, if they can't be said to be killed, are about the same, at least, it is difficult for them to kill the extremely fast Tuwu cavalry.
In the light and shadow, it is very blurry, but when the abrupt light cavalry comes in, they will light the torches in unison, so that the battlefield is bright and bright in an instant, so bright that people can't help but squint their eyes for a while, and this time is the most destructive moment for the abrupt people.
In the face of all this, the regular troops who came with them raised their shields one after another, raised their shields slightly, protected their upper bodies and heads, and moved their spears back to make a very tight defensive posture.
Whether they often fight the Turbids or not, they all have very hard training, and they have almost indescribable fighting instincts, so the attacks of the Turbids have little effect on them.
But those who were sent to the frontier, who were supposed to do labor, and not to fight, were not so lucky, they had no shields, and they did not know how to dodge the light cavalry of the sudden men, and in the face of the sudden light of fire, and the galloping cavalry, they could only wave their weapons in a hurry, and in this way, it was easy to be accurately cut by the swords of the abrupt people.
At the same time as the first charge of the sudden man lit up the fire and rushed by, there were countless terrifying sounds of sabers cutting through the skin, and a terrible howl, and after the charge, many corpses with blood gurgling from the wounded places would fall on the spot, as well as the wounded who were muffling on the ground.
There were very few regular troops, and most of them were people who did not wear armor or shields.
In Guan Kuo's nostrils, the mud and sand poured in, choking him several times, and behind, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and the hundreds of abrupt light horses had galloped past, only to see dust flying, like poisonous fog in the night.
He rolled over and got up, not daring to stay longer, but the hand holding the spear trembled slightly.
The method that Tie Shan did not teach him was very useful, when the cavalry of the sudden man charged for the first time, and at the same time as the fire was lit, he immediately fell to the ground, so that under the extremely fast speed, the saber of the sudden man could not hurt him who was down to the dust.
Before the battle, Guan Kuo scoffed at Tie Shan Wu's method and didn't trust it at all, but he didn't know why, when the battle really started, he couldn't help but do what Tie Shan Wu said.
As it turned out, Iron Mountain was right.
In the words of Tie Shan Wu, that is: you have to believe that the probability of being trampled to death by a horse is still much smaller than the probability of being hacked to death by a sudden man's knife, after all, the abrupt man's saber has eyes.
