The open steppe was a paradise for cavalry, a hell for infantry.

10,000 cavalry are unstoppable, not to mention the collective charge of 50,000 troops, which is enough to crush 100,000 infantry, Qin Huaidao looked at the Turkic cavalry who rushed over frantically, but his heart settled down inexplicably, and he couldn't help but think of a classic sentence in later generations, if you want to disappoint it, you must first let it go crazy.

"Come on!"

Qin Huaidao said coldly, seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, he could see the hideous expressions of the Turkic soldiers, and knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he shouted: "Retreat!" ”

The soldiers turned around and ran, as if they were fleeing in defeat, Qin Huaidao also retreated, and the 50,000 army charged, and whoever blocked it died, there was no risk.

When the Turkic cavalry saw that the Tang army had run away, they laughed, can two legs run more than four legs on the steppe? Fleeing will only die faster, and everyone is desperately fighting horses and chasing after them.

A commander of a thousand commanders was suspicious by nature, and felt a little strange, so he hit his horse and caught up with the commander of ten thousand soldiers, and shouted loudly: "My lord, the Tang army is not a cowardly army afraid of death, and it is afraid that it will be deceitful to flee suddenly." ”

"What about fraud? Can two legs outrun a cavalryman? Rushed up and cut them down, taking the first credit. Captain Wan said nonchalantly.

"The little one is worried about the ambush?" The commander hastened to explain.

"There's a fart ambush, the surrounding terrain is flat, how can you ambush? Even if there is an ambush, as long as you chase the infantry and kill, the Tang army is in front, and the ambush is self-defeating, Lao Tzu is looking at you for cowardice and cutting you in nonsense. Captain Wan said impatiently.

The commander was right when he thought about it, and he knew the surroundings at a glance, even if there was an ambush, he was not afraid, so he agreed and hurriedly commanded his troops.

The army roared away, and soon rushed up the dirt slope, in front of the soil slope is a gentle slope downward, and the gentle slope is overgrown with weeds, covering the trap pit, this kind of terrain can be seen everywhere on the grassland, no one cares, the fanatical eyes are staring at the Tang army in front of him, and snort coldly with disdain.

It's just more than a thousand meters, and a charge is coming, what are you afraid of?

"Warriors of the steppe, rush over and chop them up. ”

"Kill—"

"Whoa!"

The Turkic cavalry not only did not slow down their horses, but instead frantically beat their horses and accelerated, trying to rush over at the fastest speed, trampling and slashing the Tang army that was blocking the front.

"Ahh

Suddenly, one of the war horses that rushed to the front stumbled, and one stumbled to the ground, and the cavalry on horseback was thrown out heavily, letting out a panicked scream, and the war horse also screamed.

Without waiting for everyone to react, more war horses fell to the ground, one after another, the cavalry on horseback flew out like a kite with a broken line, and fell to the ground heavily.

The trap is thousands of kilometers long and thousands of meters wide, and in the blink of an eye, thousands of war horses were put down, and the war horses were all over the place, struggling wildly, rolling, tripping more war horses, and becoming a mess.

The officers and men of the Tang Army said that they were not afraid of the countless cavalry charges, but when they saw this scene, they laughed, their morale soared, and when they gave an order, the crossbows were like rain, like locusts, and they were overwhelmingly enveloped in the past, shooting the cavalry who were lucky enough to rush through the horse trap and kill the horses.

The battle was instantly white-hot.

Nearly 10,000 people fired crossbows at the same time, and every shot was nearly 10,000 crossbows missed, just like a demon opened a huge mouth and swallowed the approaching enemy in one gulp, killing the enemy in a frightening manner, but the charge speed was too fast, the war horse couldn't stop at all, plus there were companions behind him, and he chased the tail as soon as he stopped, which was also death.

The 10,000 Turkic cavalry rushed down in a few rounds to either die or be disabled, without combat effectiveness, and the Turkic cavalry behind was still rushing forward, the vision was blocked by the dirt slope, and they could only see their own people rushing down, hearing countless screams and shouting killing, thinking that the Tang army was defeated, and they all wanted to rush down to get a piece of the pie.

Another 10,000 troops rushed up the hillside, and when they saw their own people being slaughtered by one side, they all panicked, but the war horses charged at full speed, not to say that they could stop, and they roared down, and they were also trapped in the horse pit and fell on their backs, killing and wounding countless people, and the survivors were not spared, and they were shot and fell down by the crossbows.

At this moment, the trap behind the hillside was a huge death trap, opening its mouth wide to engulf the lives of the Turkic cavalry, coming without refusal, wailing, screaming, crying for help, shouting for killing, converging into one, blood staining the grass and the earth red, like a purgatory of death.

Another 10,000 people rushed over, looking at the corpses all over the ground, the dense crossbows were lost, and they were suddenly frightened, but they also couldn't stop their feet, and they were dragged forward by the war horses, stepping into the death trap, there were too many corpses, covering a large number of traps, but it also delayed the charging speed of these 10,000 people.

Cavalry without speed is a living target.

The killing continued, frenzied and indifferent.

Nearly 10,000 people, nearly 10,000 crossbows fired in unison, fired at an average speed of two seconds, twenty seconds is ten attacks, almost 100,000 crossbows were lost, 10,000 people couldn't stop it at all, one after another fell off the horse, and all fell down before they could break out of the death trap, and none of them were spared.

Simple to no danger to defend, the only advantage of ignoring the terrain is to block the sight of the Turkic soldiers, once it cooperates with the trap and the crossbow, it will become a deadly killer in seconds, a meat grinder, and it will engulf 30,000 people in a while, but not a single soldier will be wasted on his side.

Such a large battle has doubled the morale of the soldiers, their hands are more stable, their aims are more accurate, and they are not chaotic in the face of the Turkic soldiers who continue to charge.

Too many deaths made the corpses pile up and exposed to the field of vision, and the Turkic enemy troops behind finally realized that something was wrong, and stopped to watch, and ruled out scouts to investigate, and after knowing that almost all the people in front were killed, they were shocked one by one, turned around and ran.

Qin Huaidao couldn't let the duck fly away, and as soon as he gave an order, the army lurking on the left and right was already impatient, and they got up one after another, turned over their horses, and chased and killed.

There are still more than 10,000 enemy troops, but they have been frightened, there is not much morale, and the two generals who chased out were Fang Yiai and Wei Chi Baoqi, about 8,000 people, Qin Huaidao was not worried at all, looked at the area of the horse pit in front of him, and shouted: "Beat the drums, rush up and fight quickly, and clean up the battlefield." ”

"Dongdong, Dongdong!"

The drums of war sounded, and the order to cover up the kill was given.

The soldiers rushed up and made up for an arrow at the enemy who was still alive in the death trap, leaving not a single mouth alive.

The first battle was a big victory, killing more than 30,000 people, which was of great benefit to the morale of the army, Qin Huaidao was in a good mood, came to the dirt slope, looked at the soldiers chasing in front of him, and smiled at Su Dingfang, who was eager to try: "What, do you want to rush up and fight?" ”

"No, the duty of the last general is to protect the general." Although Su Dingfang wanted to do it very much, he still said against his will, for fear that Qin Huaidao would misunderstand, but there was a storm in his heart, he had long heard that the public soldiers of the protector were like gods, and they had never been defeated, but after experiencing it personally, he felt that the rumors were still not enough.

The simple terrain turned decay into magic, instantly turned into a big killing array, a death trap, such a skill is unheard of, Su Dingfang fought the Turks with Li Jing back then, has rich combat experience, and has also seen Li Jing's command, but at this moment it feels inferior to Qin Huaidao.

Qin Huaidao didn't know what Su Dingfang was thinking, and said with a smile: "You, your personality is too cautious, and you lack the blood courage and vigor of some young people, just thinking about it, as a general, how can you not yearn for cutting the general in front of the battle, rushing to kill the enemy's formation, and taking the enemy's head in a million-strong army?" There is a chance for you to try, and I hope that General Ben will not be disappointed when the time comes. ”

"General Xie cultivates and will never live up to expectations." Su Dingfang was overjoyed.

Half an hour later, the battlefield was cleaned properly, a large number of weapons and war horses were harvested, and the war horses that could still be used were left to carry supplies, and the wounded and dead were killed on the spot and distributed as dry food for later use.

The pursuit of the two armies returned, also brought a batch of war horses and other trophies, Fang Yiai and Wei Chi Baoqi left the troops to rest in place, and came on horseback, Fang Yiai took the first step and said: "General, kill more than 3,000 people, the remaining enemy has a large army to respond, and the last general can only give up the pursuit and return." ”

"It's hard work, but there is a loss?"

"The damage is minimal, only minor injuries, which have been arranged to be dealt with." Fang Yiai hurried back.

Soon, Wei Chi Baoqi also came to report immediately, killed more than 2,000, the loss on his side can be ignored, this battle killed more than 40,000 people, it can be described as a big victory, the key captured more than 40,000 war horses, don't worry about food problems in a short time, has gone deep into the desert, grain and grass can't keep up, and then you can only rely on yourself.

"Newspaper—" A scout came galloping on his horse.
