Volume 1 Chapter 359 The Fenhe Encounter

Some people thought that they should retreat to Lancheng County to guard and avoid the Turks, and at this time, Wei Yunqi stood up. "Ladies and gentlemen, if it is not time to hesitate, we should open to Jingle County as soon as possible, if we can enter the city earlier than the Turks, then with Jingle County as a battle, we should be able to stop the Turkic thieves."

"As for those who say that they will retreat to Lancheng County to defend the country, this is simply a joke, now our army is only ten miles away from Jingle County, and nearly a hundred miles away from Lancheng County, if it is really retreating to Lancheng County, it is tantamount to ignoring the people of Jingle County, not to mention, if the target of the Turkic army is us, then what

Wei Yunqi's words made many nobles and generals who agreed to retreat to Lancheng County dumbfounded, indeed, on one side more than a hundred miles, it would take more than a day to run, and on the other side it was only more than ten miles, if you force the army, you can definitely arrive in an hour.

"Brother Yunqi is polite, I think it is below. We should go north instead of south, if the army is in a hurry, an hour, we can reach the county seat of Jingle, even if we can't enter the city, we can rely on the city walls to defend against the Turks. Li Shimin also jumped out at this time and made such a statement.

And Yun Dingxing, who had been silent, set his eyes on Ben Gongzi's body. In the anticipation, there is a grudge, perhaps it is the strategy of this prince that makes the Turks think that this should be a strong rescue army, so they will send so many soldiers and horses to rush over.

After coughing twice, Ben Gongzi also said: "The two of you are reasonable, I think that what we lack most at this moment is time, send more sentry posts, to find out the movements of the Turkic army. And the general, you first led the elite cavalry into the city and prepared to defend it, while the army marched quickly, striving to reach Jingle County within an hour, so that even if the Turkic army arrived quickly, the city walls were already prepared......"

Ben Gongzi can only synthesize the opinions of the two and give such a suggestion. Yun Dingxing stroked his beard and said: "The Duke of Qi is very good at this, the old man should personally lead the army to ride 5,000 first, and among the others, the general Yang Gongdao is the main one, and he will go to Jingle County...... But whoever does not listen to the order shall be beheaded"

The generals agreed in unison, and soon, the army marched again, but this time, the five thousand elite cavalry of the front army and the Chinese army all gathered under the command of Yun Dingxing, and followed the old guy towards Najingle County.

And we can only urge the army to continue to march towards the county seat of Jingle County. An hour is not long or short, but the problem is that the Turks are all cavalry, and they are definitely much faster than us in rushing to the road.

And when we were only four miles away from Jingle County, we could already see the shadow of the Turkic army, a few miles away from our left flank. At this time, there was no way to go any further, for for the cavalry, a few miles of land was only a minute or two, but for us, it would take at least a quarter of an hour.

Yang Gongdao immediately ordered to rely on the Fen River behind him to form a formation, fortunately, the Fen River is here, there happens to be a river bay about three miles or so, and not long after we began to set up the formation, those Turks have already discovered us located in the southwest of the city.

Immediately, a cavalry of about 10,000 people was stripped out of the army and began to rush towards us. The sudden encounter caught both sides off guard, but fortunately, Yang Gongdao was a veteran of the battlefield after all, and he gave the order to form a garrison at the first time.

However, 70,000 people, it is too exaggerated to want to complete the work of forming a formation in a very short time, but now I can't control others, because this son is in the left front, and this position is definitely the direction of the first blow of the Turkic cavalry.

"Che, all the carts are in this position, Li Yuanfang, you lead the first battalion to prepare the bow and crossbow, Zheng Chen, let all the spearmen come to the cart, go quickly" Ben Gongzi shouted loudly.

And Li Shimin's brothers and sisters, Yang Gongdao, Pei Yuanqing and others have been familiar with Ben Gongzi for a long time, and they know very well the role that Ben Gongzi played in the defensive battle of the Eastern Capital that year, so with the first completion of Ben Gongzi's car formation, soon, they drove the people around them to do it step by step.

I don't know if the leader of the Turkic cavalry is crazy or because he thinks that the special Mingguang armor of Ben Gongzi standing on the side van is too dazzling, when it is about a mile away from our army, this Turkic army first slowed down, and then more than 2,000 Turkic cavalry howled, brandished the scimitar in his hand, and rushed straight in the direction where Ben Gongzi was.

Fuck, could it be that there is someone on the other side who is also a traverser, knowing that the son of the Dao is different from Cong, and wants to slaughter me first in a vain attempt to bring history back on the right track? Glancing at the car formation that was gradually taking shape around him, as well as the elites of Guanzhong who were hurrying over here with bows and crossbows, Ben Gongzi took a deep breath, choked, pulled out the treasure knife on his waist and held a seal, looking at the one that was getting closer and closer, and when he could already see the ugly faces of the hideous Turks, Ben Gongzi waved the horizontal knife in his hand.

With the terrible sound of bamboo whistles and the sound of dense strings, like countless bees, flapping their wings in unison, bows and crossbows firing in unison, in the blink of an eye, I saw that the Turkic cavalry that rushed madly fell more than 100 times, and the momentum of rushing and killing couldn't help but stagnate.

"Three shots, pay attention to controlling the rhythm" I hurriedly shouted, Li Yuanfang comprehended and blew out a long whistle, followed by three short whistles, row after row of feather arrows and crossbow arrows, like a dense rainstorm, poured on the bodies of those Turks, immediately.

At this time, I turned around and found that two or three thousand soldiers of the Trolley behind me had all picked up bows and crossbows, and with the sound of bamboo whistles, they followed the rhythm of my troop shooting, briskly and ruthlessly harvesting rows of Turkic cavalry.

Soon, the Turkic cavalry rushed to the side van, but they had no way to break through, the side van about two meters high, about one zhang long, not only blocked the direction of their advance, and behind the side van, the spearmen who had already prepared the spear in their hands raised the sharp spear of seven feet in their hands, and fiercely aimed at the Turkic cavalry on the periphery of the side van, while strangling the horses, while using a scimitar to frantically chop the sturdy and heavy carriage board

The van blocked the way of the Turkic cavalry, and Changrou was like the sharpest fangs of a beast, easily piercing through the light leather armor of the Turks, and fiercely slammed into the body, leaving wounds of blood collapsing.

And rows of feathered arrows and crossbow arrows, at close range, do not need to aim at all, and every salvo will make countless Turkic cavalry pierce their bodies like hedgehogs.

With the sound of a desolate trumpet, the Turks, whose attack had been fruitless, let out angry and helpless shouts, and retreated like a tide as fast as they could. "All the cavalry and young men, gather them all on the bank of the river, make way for me, and give me the grain and grass in the gap." Yang Gongdao raised the horizontal knife in his hand and drank vigorously again and again.

After experiencing the most panic, and after seeing the first wave of the Turkic attack repulsed, the soldiers who had somewhat regained some composure and hope were busy quickly, and although many of those young men were frightened at the moment, at least they did not run around and scream, otherwise it would be an absolute nightmare to cause the bombardment of the camp.

With a large number of young men and strongmen, as well as the remaining cavalry of various provinces and provinces, they finally gave everyone a place to move, and the cart finally took this opportunity to completely block the bend of the river.

And just a few of the few pieces of tea were not enough, and in front of my position, the corpses of more than 700 Turkic cavalrymen had fallen. Ben Gongzi wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead, well, this is not hot, it is completely frightened, just now Ben Gongzi was standing less than two feet away from the side van, and at that time, there were several arrows of feather arrows shot by the Turks, hitting the Mingguang armor on Ben Gongzi's body.

Fortunately, Ben Gongzi, who was wearing silk armor and hanging Mingguang armor outside, could be said to be unharmed, but the sudden battle just now still made people feel unscathed. Because I didn't want to be too eye-catching, so, although I brought that set of full-body armor over, but I haven't worn it, even Li Shimin, Li Xuanba, and Brother Yang Gongdao are embarrassed to be too dazzling, and they also stuffed the full-body armor at the bottom of the box, ready to wear it again during the big war, anyway, although the Mingguang armor is a little heavier, but the defense is also very comprehensive.

"What about the casualties?" grabbed Li Yuanfang who came over, and asked my son.

"Thirty-five people were wounded, no one was killed, and the only one seriously wounded was hit in the cheek by a feathered arrow from a Turk." Li Yuanfang took a deep breath and said.

"That's good, let the wounded retreat to the back, and the others, stay put." I nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the armor prepared by this son is really quite effective, although it is leather armor, but in the critical position, that kind of cold forging armor piece is hung, unless it is hit by the powerful person with an axe, otherwise, don't even think about breaking through its defense.

It was for this reason, coupled with the fact that horse-drawn carriages such as side carriages played a huge role, so that those Turkic cavalry could not break through the defense line and rush into the inner circle.

"Brother Xian, thanks to you, what do you think, if you need anything, just speak." At this time, Yang Gongdao galloped over, and after looking at the position of the carts, he couldn't help but show a look of happiness.

"Bows and crossbows, my subordinates only have more than a thousand bows and crossbows, which is far from enough, at least fifteen hundred are needed." I hurriedly replied that I had only brought 800 bows and 500 crossbows with me, and I was fortunate to have the help of the old Li family's troops, otherwise, the rain of arrows was not dense enough to cause such great damage to the Turkic cavalry. It was impossible to make the Turks unable to withdraw from the battle in such a short period of time.
