Chapter 147: The Turkic Nightmare
The speed of chasing the wind under Liu Yi is not ordinarily fast, in the full-speed running of chasing the wind, Liu Yi took the lead and rushed forward, with a large number of personal guards behind him and a large number of sergeants desperately chasing.
The main general's performance was so brave that these men were very encouraged and rushed forward one by one.
It's just that Liu Yi's guards are very nervous, Liu Yi rushes forward desperately, they can't catch up, in case Liu Yi has some accidents, it will be a big trouble. After the end of the last battle, they also put forward their opinions to Liu Yi through Liu Ben, the captain of the personal guard, and Liu Yi also promised to slow down the impact after thinking about it, and rushed to kill them synchronously, but now that the camp has begun, Liu Yi has rushed forward again, and the shouting is inaudible, and they can only chase desperately, and there is no other way.
During the impact, Liu Yi saw that the guards and sergeants behind him were pulled down a distance, and he also sensed that the situation was not good, and rushed into the enemy camp single-handedly, and it was easy to be surrounded by the enemy, and the enemy concentrated attack and accidents. If this happens, it will be troublesome, so Liu Yi, who has come to his senses, also slowed down slightly in the process of impact, waiting for the guards and sergeants behind him to catch up synchronously.
Whether it is a war in the era of cold weapons or in the era of hot weapons, the collective impact force is far more destructive and lethal than the impact force of a single person, Liu Yi of course knows this truth, his more than 2,000 soldiers rushed into the Turkic camp in a swarm, even if the Turks reacted, it was not so easy to intercept and block, not to mention that these sergeants were all impacting with the speed of war horses.
The Turks guarding the camp also found the Tang soldiers rushing over with torches, but they didn't know how to react for a while in a panic, many people ran and shouted in panic, and there were not many people who came up to block the impact of the Tang soldiers.
The enemy who was blocking rushed up, and it had to be killed, Liu Yi drank the guards around him to disperse slightly, ready to kill the enemy, he still took the lead, raised his gun and stabbed down several Turkic soldiers who came up to block, and continued to rush in, and the guards around him also used the weapons in their hands to kill a few Turkic soldiers who tried to block a few Turkic soldiers, and followed Liu Yi to quickly attack the Turkic camp in depth.
The group of sergeants with torches behind Liu Yi also rushed into the Turkic camp, and as soon as they entered the camp, they used the torches in their hands to set fire to the Turkic tents on the side.
The more than 1,000 sergeants led by Zhang Qianmiao, who were attacking from the other direction, had also rushed into the Turkic camp, and they also rushed as far as possible according to Liu Yi's instructions and set fire to the Turkic camp. The torches in the hands of the soldiers grazed the tent, and the tent soaked in oil soon caught fire.
The Tang soldiers who rushed into the camp did not love to fight, and the Turks who encountered the blocking attack only slashed and killed them for a while, scattered them, and did not chase them, they tried to rush to the depths of the Turkic camp and set fire to more Turkic tents.
The wind at night on the grassland was still relatively strong, and Liu Yi made a plan to attack the Turkic camp with fire, because this wind energy would maximize the results of the battle.
Many Turks ran out of their tents in a panic, not knowing what was happening, until they saw the fire burning in their camp and heard the shouts of killing and the sound of horses' hooves, and then they understood that the enemy had stolen the camp.
The Turks who were resting at night could be said to be defenseless, the shouts of the Tang soldiers and the sound of the hooves of the horses running, coupled with the fire burning in the camp, made them frightened, no one knew how many Tang soldiers came to attack the camp, only felt that there were shouts of killing and horse hooves in all directions, and many Turks were so frightened that they didn't even have time to put on their clothes when they ran out of the tent.
Under the light of the fire, countless Turks could be seen rushing for their lives or kneeling to surrender, but no Tang soldiers paid attention to them, Liu Yi and Zhang Qianqiao led the soldiers to rush to the depths of the camp one by one in the camp, trying to use the torches in their hands to light a few more Turks' tents.
With the storming of the Tang army, countless Turkic tents were set on fire, and the Turkic tents were relatively dense, coupled with strong winds, there were a lot of dead grass in the underground grassland, which made the fire spread widely in the blink of an eye.
Attacking with fire, in the attack camp is the most effective, the most lethal way to the enemy, the ruthless fire can devour countless lives, this is with knives, bows and arrows, and even the muskets that appeared later, it is difficult to achieve the effect, especially in the case of Liu Yi led by more than 2,000 soldiers, only by attacking with fire, can inflict a fatal blow to the Turks.
The fire spread out, and also illuminated the path under the feet of the attacking Tang soldiers, and the Turks were defenseless and had weak resistance, so that they were almost unimpeded when they attacked.
According to the division of labor in advance, after Liu Yi led his troops into the camp, he turned to the west, while Zhang Qianqiao led his troops to the east, and they wanted to set fire to the large camp that stretched for several miles, so that this large camp of the Turks would become a sea of fire.
"General, the Turks have come to intercept!" Liu Ben, the guard who followed Liu Yi's side, shouted loudly.
Liu Yi also found a large group of Turkic soldiers under the command of the head man, rushing in the direction of their impact, estimated to be hundreds, Liu Yi also immediately ordered one soldier to throw away the torches in his hand and prepare for battle, and the other soldier continued to ignite the Turkic tent.
"Brothers, follow me and kill all the Turks who dare to resist!" Liu Yi waved his gun and shouted, and immediately drove the group of Turks chasing the wind and blocking the attack under him.
The process of storming the camp just now was very smooth, countless camp tents were ignited, Liu Yi knew that his task was almost completed, there would definitely be a lot of Turks burned to death by the fire, the fire was still flowing along the wind, the Turkic camp was over, and they had to prepare to deal with the remnants of the Turks.
Chasing the wind raised the speed again, the wind whistled in the ears, the sound of running with the horse's hooves, and the roar of the soldiers who had already screamed to kill, this sound made Liu Yi's whole body blood boil, such a scene can stimulate people's fighting spirit the most, let the blood of the Tang soldiers be reflected in the killing.
The horizontal knives wielded in the hands of the soldiers reflected a terrifying red color in the light of the firelight, and this red sword forest quickly rushed towards the Turkic crowd who were trying to intercept it.
Just now, when Liu Yi led more than 1,000 soldiers under his command to rampage in the Turkic camp and set fire to the Turkic camp, Liu Yi knew that with the past of the panic at the beginning, there will definitely be a lot of Turkic people who will react, and some Turkic leaders have also come to their senses and are ready to organize forces to resist, and there will be an encounter next.
Liu Yi lifted the gun, after stabbing several Turkic soldiers in front, rushed to a Turkic leader who was shouting loudly to command, the spear in his hand stabbed directly at the Turkic head man whose face was full of horror under the firelight, the gun pierced out from his chest through the back, Liu Yi rotated the spear and quickly pulled it out, the Turkic head man opened his eyes with fear, and in the terrible wail, the knife raised in his hand also fell to the ground, blood gushed out from his chest, and he fell to the ground and died.
Liu Yi, who quickly drew his gun, swept at another Turkic soldier who rushed up with a knife, and the gun slashed through the neck of the Turkic soldier, and before he could make a scream, the soldier fell to the ground and died.
In just a few moments, Liu Yi had already stabbed to death five oncoming Turks, and the speed of the horses only decreased slightly, and they continued to rush forward.
The guards around Liu Yi also brandished the weapons in their hands, spears or war knives, slashing and killing the Turks who were intercepting, and Liu Ben and Liu Quan, who were guarding Liu Yi's side, had also stabbed to death several Turks wielding scimitars with their spears after knocking away a few knives that wanted to cut at them.
For Liu Yi's guards, the main task in the battle is not how many enemies can be killed, but to protect their masters, this is their mission, and because of the repeated admonitions of the main mother Zhang before the expedition, these guards must not let Liu Yi have an accident no matter what, which makes the sense of mission in their hearts even stronger, when charging into battle, they are always on guard against any opponent who may cause harm to Liu Yi, even if they pay their own lives to protect Liu Yi's safety.
Hundreds of sergeants led by Huan Yanfan and Jinghui on both sides of Liu Yi were inspired by Liu Yi's brave performance, and they all showed great courage, and the weapons in their hands kept beckoning to the Turkic heads, and the Turks who were hit by such a ferocious blow were stunned, and many Turks even forgot to resist and flee, in the frightened eyes of these people, the sharp horizontal knives in the hands of the Tang soldiers fell, and in the blood splashed, some people's heads were cut off to one side, and they fell to the ground and died without even screaming. Others, who were a little quicker, were also knocked to the ground by sharp knives or knocked to the ground by galloping horses when they tried to turn and flee, and were seriously injured if they did not die, and small-scale bloody killings were staged in the large camp of the Turks.
There was chaos in the camp, the fire was even more irritating to the livestock, the frightened horses, cattle and sheep were scattered and unattended, trampling on the Turks who fled with their heads in their hands, and many Turks who were lucky enough to escape from the fire were unfortunately trampled to death by these frightened horses or livestock in the panic.
Easily defeated the hundreds of Turks who tried to stop them, Liu Yi was even more excited in his heart, drove his war horse again, led the sergeants behind him, and continued to charge and kill in the Turkic camp under the blazing fire.
Liu Yi also saw in the rush and killing room that the fire was also burning in the direction on the other side of the camp that Zhang Qianqiao was in charge of, and the sound of shouting and killing in familiar Chinese was also faintly heard, and the Turks over there were also unable to organize resistance.
Liu Yi, who is still continuing to rush and kill, now hopes that the army led by Pei Xingjian can come over as soon as possible and annihilate the Turks when they are panicked by our surprise attack.
Let this night be an eternal nightmare for the Turks...
