Volume 1 Chapter 418 The Sorrowful Turkic Wolf Ride
However, the Turkic cavalry who rushed out seemed to be a little afraid, and did not continue to assault, but turned back to the gate of the wall, and soon, a group of Turkic cavalry of about 100 people appeared, and this group of Turkic cavalry is no longer like ordinary Turkic cavalry wearing leather armor, but a water of iron armor and iron helmets, and behind the helmet, there are two fur-like things, like the tail of some animal, hanging on the cheeks, I am very curious, However, it can be seen from the familiar harnessing mounts of these cavalry and their indifferent and bloodthirsty expressions that these warriors are definitely the best of the best.
Seeing this scene, Ben Gongzi couldn't help but squint his eyes curiously and take a closer look. Damn, I don't know the road, I was startled when I saw it, I was once overturned by Ben Gongzi with high wine several times, and was appointed by Shibi Khan as the leader of the caravan to trade wine and horses with Ben Gongzi's old acquaintance Kang Sheli, at this moment he was standing on the wall, waving the scimitar in his hand, his face was red and spitting stars flew to cheer for those elite Turkic cavalry.
And next to it, a guy with heavy bright light armor appeared in my sight, well, it was that Liang Shidu, his red and black face looked a little white at the moment, it seemed that the rain of arrows that day, although there was no vital point of this guy in his body, but he must have lost a lot of blood, so he still looks a little weak now.
Wei Yunqi couldn't help frowning after snorting lightly and said, "They actually changed." It seems that we want to try the quality of our heavy cavalry, and by the way, improve our morale. Nine times out of ten, these Turkic cavalry in iron armor were the elite wolf cavalry of the Khan's side. It seems that Master Liang has made a bloody investment, and Shibi Khan has also moved his heart to the chaotic Central Plains. Otherwise, Shibi Khan would not have worked so hard to help him, not only borrowed nearly 10,000 cavalry, but also sent such elites. ”
"Wolf riding? What the hell? I narrowed my eyes, and when I heard Wei Yunqi say this, I really felt that the fur hanging down the cheeks of those Turkic barbarians really looked like the tail of a wolf, could this be the reason for the wolf to ride?
"The Turks worship wolves and regard them as brave men in the steppe, and most of the bravest warriors of the Turks are now used as guards by the khan's side, and their helmets and armor are decorated with wolf skins or wolf tails, so they are called wolf riders, and they are the elite of the Turkic elite. Back then, I had seen it beside the Khan of Qimin, and it was like this, wrapped in iron armor all over his body, and his cheeks were decorated with wolf tails, which was fierce and incomparable. ”
"Wolf riding? Hehe, don't say it's a wolf, even if it's a tiger, Ben Gongzi's heavy cavalry can wipe them out. I smiled confidently. In front of the tin can, all light weapons are clouds, unless these Turkic wolf riders each carry a heavy long-handled weapon such as a mace.
However, this kind of heavy weapon is not something that everyone can carry. Now it seems that these wolf riders are scimitars of a water, OK, let alone scimitars, even curved swords are useless.
"From the north to the south, only this road can go straight to the rich Guanzhong, presumably, Shibi Khan is also in his heart with the same idea as the ancestors of those nomads, wanting to enter the Central Plains. And this level is a good choice. I nodded in reply. It's a pity that he met me, and he was unlucky. ”
Hearing what I said, Wei Yunqi nodded as a matter of course, and gave me a thumbs up to show that my son was indeed qualified to say so.
Wei Yunqi's speculation should be reliable, but more importantly, the Turks have always looked at the Central Plains and envied the richness and fertility of the Central Plains. I always hope that one day, I can enter the Central Plains, and the chaos of the Great Sui, traitors like Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou let him see the hope of entering the Central Plains, and compared with the land of Hebei and Henan, which has been eroded, Guanzhong, which is rich and relatively stable, is definitely a big piece of fat in his eyes.
I even suspect that the reason why Liang Shidu attacked Yan'an County may have been due to the instructions of Shibi Khan, otherwise, how much benefit would his Liang division have to make the Turks not only lend a large number of other soldiers and horses, but even the Khan's elite guards will appear here?
What's more, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, where did the Turks come from when they went south to the north of Chang'an? Naturally, he rushed directly through Liang Shidu, Yu Zi's territory. Therefore, this son will never let this product succeed, and he will not let his father's plan succeed.
Han Shige did not attack in advance, but after seeing the Turks change people to play, he led the team back a certain distance, absolutely gentlemanly and absolutely confident. Although both sides are only more than 100 riders, both sides are definitely the elite of the elite.
When both sides finished arranging, there was no need to call, the two sides seemed to be in unison at the same time, and began to assault towards each other, and the lance or spear that Han Shige and others were holding high gradually flattened, and the spear tips of the spears of amazing length and unmatched tax profits exuded a cruising cold light.
The sound of hooves was like thunder, the horses neighed like the wind, Han Shige and they launched a charge in silence, and on the opposite side, the elite ironclad Turkic cavalry let out a wild roar, the scimitar in his hand kept dancing, in the sun, rippling a dazzling arc of light, and the hideous faces were like a group of fierce beasts that had just crawled out of hell, pounced on the trembling lambs.
It's a pity that Han Shige and they are not lambs, but fierce beasts with full blood and iron armor, like a rhinoceros with crazy hair, burying its head, stretching out its sharp and incomparable horns, indomitable, fearless assault.
It seemed to be a long time, but in fact, the face-to-face assault between the two sides was only about half a minute, and the speed of the cavalry was close to the maximum speed, and at such a speed, the sharp spear, like a needle in the hands of a doctor, easily pierced the armor on those people and pierced into the flesh without hindrance. However, the spears in most people's hands were either picked out or dodged.
Seeing this scene, even a Han nationalist like Ben Gongzi couldn't help but shake his head and admire the elite horsemanship of these Turkic elites, and then, after the Turks avoided the spear, the scimitar in their hands was raised high, and then slashed down viciously, bringing a poignant arc of light.
In an instant, we who were present, or those of the Liangtu coalition forces, heard a dense rain of metal crashing sounds, as well as stunned shouts. Soon, a hundred horsemen staggered, leaving seventeen Turkic corpses on the ground, and the horses of the seventeen masters screamed, some fled far away, while others spun in place, snorting and arching their heads at their masters, who had fallen to the ground.
And my heavy cavalry, unscathed, calmly cast more than a hundred steps, only then Shi Shiran led the horse back to turn, seeing this scene, the Liang-Turk coalition army was in an uproar, and the faces of those elite Turkic guards couldn't help but begin to change.
Yes, there were several knights whose scimitars were cut in two because of the force, which showed the great force of their strength, but the heavily armed knights in the sharp scimitar arms were unscathed, except for a shallow depression or white mark in the middle of the beheading.
"The strength of this armor is the first in the world." Wei Yunqi also saw those heavy cavalry who were unharmed and were sorting out their formations to prepare for the next assault, and couldn't help but sigh with such emotion. His eyes lit up, his hand clenched the handle of the war knife on his waist, and he looked like he was eager to rush up and slash wildly, or he was cut by someone, but this guy still didn't go, although he was proficient in military strategy, but his force value was worse than that of his son.
"It's a pity that it's too heavy, and our horse breed is not good, such heavy cavalry is still difficult to make up." I'm also very pleased, it's definitely not too easy to bully these Turkic barbarians with such heavy plate armor that will only appear in about five or six hundred years, or even a thousand years later.
"This is also true, and the use of such heavy cavalry is not only limited by the terrain, but also affected by distance, otherwise, there will be no opponent in the world." Wei Yun nodded, with a look of regret.
"There are pros and cons to everything, and that's normal." I continued to appreciate the battle, and the answer was already obvious, and the only thing the Turks could do was either play with their own lives or compete with the hoplites to see who could run faster and flee farther.
Sure enough, in the second collision, after nearly twenty elite Turkic cavalry fell, the remaining cavalry knew that if they were entangled again, they could only be sent to death, and they really began to carry forward the nature of the Turks.
Looking at the Turkic cavalry who were still extremely arrogant and jumped out in vain to fight the hoplites, but as a result, they threw down their corpses and fled back in embarrassment, the voices of victory and cheers rose and fell.
And this son hurriedly sent a cavalry to rush over, of course, not to protect the heavy cavalry, but to loot the war horses scattered on the battlefield, well, a good war horse, now there is no price, but only thirty-one captured, well, it is equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars, and these healthy horses are actually good Dawan horses, rely on, worthy of being nomads, but also worthy of the lord of the Eastern Turks, for their own guards to get a water of Dawan horses.
But think about it, in the next ten years, the Eastern Turks can be described as unprecedentedly powerful, and even give them the confidence to come to find trouble with the Tang Dynasty.
But what's the use of being strong? It's not a special fart to come to send a good horse to my son and let me brush up my prestige, it seems that my father's good relationship with the Turks has created such a fate between me and the Turks.
Well, Han Shige, who won the battle and was proud, was very righteous. From time to time, he raised his lance in his hand and danced in demonstration, and was greeted with more fierce cheers, and soon he came to me, his helmet already hung on the hook on the horse's back, and saluted me: "I am glad that I have not been dishonored." ”
