Chapter 120: A Battle Out of the City
Yang Zhi said that he would go out of the city to kill the Turks, but he was not joking.
Early the next morning, the gate of Pingzhou City suddenly opened, and Yang Zhi also led his two thousand soldiers and horses, as well as one thousand cavalry organized by Hu Duan, out of the city at this time.
Three thousand cavalry appeared outside Pingzhou City, and on the city wall, the war drums were also beaten.
The sound of the war drums is as terrible as if it is beating in the depths of people's hearts.
The Turks probably could not have imagined that the defenders of Pingzhou City would take the initiative to fight.
At the beginning, when there were 100,000 people defending the city, they didn't take the initiative to fight, and now they have been disabled, and they even dare to take the initiative to fight.
Could it be that the army of the Dasheng Dynasty is really coming?
But when they saw that there were only two or three thousand soldiers and horses, they all showed a look of mockery.
Immediately there was a tribe of 5,000 people asking for battle, if they attacked the city, they might not be able to, but this is on the plains, the Turks have always been unseen, they grew up on horseback, horse war, they are invincible.
Yang Zhi personally led the army, and beside him, there were a hundred black-armored troops shrouded in black.
Originally, Chen Dong didn't let Yang Zhi personally lead the troops, he said that he could, but Yang Zhi looked at him so much that he didn't dare to say anything.
They all know that Yang Zhi's martial arts are very high, and no one here is his opponent when he fights alone, but on the battlefield, he is not fighting alone in the martial arts.
The sword has no eyes, who dares to guarantee that Yang Zhi will be safe and sound.
At this time, Yang Zhi was also wearing his armor of more than 100 catties, but he really had a bit of the momentum of a general, his body was more than 1.8 meters, except that his face looked young, it seemed to be normal.
Seeing that a troop of soldiers and horses was gathering on the Turkic side, thousands of war horses neighed.
These are all good war horses, and the neighing sound can frighten the war horses on Yang Zhi's side to lose their momentum, and even the soldiers on the war horses feel the uneasiness of the war horses under their crotch.
The reason why Yang Zhi wanted to go out of the city to fight was to deter the Turks and make them dare not attack the city for the time being.
As for how to deter, it was his message to the hundred black armor soldiers around him and the brothers he brought with him.
The Turks on the other side were already screaming, and they were very excited, because if the Han people cowered in the city, they could not urge the war horses to step over, but these Han people came out to fight, and for them, they came to die.
The fastest Turkic tribe, five thousand iron horsemen, has already roared.
I have to say that this is also the most puzzling place in this era, when two armies fight, in order to show respect for the enemy, they generally do not really rush together.
The Turks have more than 100,000 iron horsemen, if they really rush over at one time, even if Yang Zhi has three heads and six arms, his 3,000 people will be dumplings by the Turks.
But the Turks just wanted to use five thousand iron horsemen to clean up this little bit of people under Yang Zhi, and the leaders of the remaining Turkic tribes would not take advantage of this time to rush up with people, but watched with the eldest prince who was responsible for leading the troops with the Turks this time.
Yang Zhi only dared to go out of the city after calculating this, which could be regarded as a suspicious soldier, so that the Turks did not know his intentions.
"Ready!"
Yang Zhi watched the Turkic Iron Cavalry get closer and closer, and also shouted loudly.
Five hundred steps, four hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps...
"Put!"
With Yang Zhi's shout, the two thousand cavalry behind him released crossbow arrows at the same time.
Yang Zhi equipped the best crossbow arrows in Xiping to these two thousand people.
This crossbow arrow can be fired with three arrows at once, and it can hold three crossbow arrows at a time, and this is still a strong bow.
It's one of the best long-range attack weapons of this era, especially on the battlefield, because it's a wide area of destruction.
The only drawback is that such crossbow arrows take a slower time to reload.
This is the same as changing magazines, and there are not many crossbow arrows equipped, and Yang Zhi can only ensure that each soldier has twenty-four crossbow arrows in his hand, which is still the remaining equipment on Xiping Pass.
That is, three at a time, up to eight rounds of crossbow arrows.
However, in the face of lightning-fast Turkic iron cavalry, they can only reload crossbow arrows twice at most.
When the first round of crossbow arrows was fired, hundreds of people were shot in front of the Turkic iron horsemen, and many more were shot in the open field, or on horses.
"Shoot again!"
With Yang Zhi's second shout, the unabated Turkic Iron Cavalry was only a little more than a hundred paces away.
And after this round, they will have to face this group of Turkic iron horsemen.
This second round was more successful than the previous round of crossbow arrows, killing hundreds of Turks and wounding hundreds.
But even so, the number of Turks far exceeded that of Yang Zhi and their side.
"Kill!"
Yang Zhi pulled out the knife in his hand, and a hundred black-armored troops beside him followed.
The two brothers, Chen Dong and Cheng Chen Xi, were by Yang Zhi's side.
The three thousand soldiers behind him also pulled out their swords and rushed forward.
The people on both sides soon came into contact with each other.
This is Yang Zhi's first real battle, and it is different from the previous times, he is facing not only these thousands of Turkic iron horses, but also the hundreds of thousands of Turkic iron horses behind.
But I don't know why, he was supposed to be very afraid of death, but at the moment he rushed up, he actually felt his blood boiling, as if he was born to be a soldier.
Only solve the battlefield and die for the country, why should the horse leather shroud be returned!
With a general like Yang Zhi who is not afraid of death, the three thousand people behind him, if there is anything to worry about, they all rushed forward without fear of death.
The fastest was Yang Zhi and the black armor army beside him, these hundred people, like a torrent of steel.
It was just a shock, and before the Turks at the front could react, they had already died on their swords.
Although these Turks were very good at riding and good at horses, the weapons in their hands did no harm to the Black Armor Army, and the heavily armed Black Armor Army even had glass goggles to block their eyes.
All over the body, probably only the vents are exposed.
But those breath outlets, not to mention the scimitars of the Turks, even crossbow arrows can't shoot into them.
"Kill..."
The loud shouts were heard, which shocked people's hearts and made the soldiers behind them feel like they had been beaten with chicken blood.
Especially those soldiers who have been fighting with the Turks for a month, when have they seen the Turkic iron horsemen slaughtered like local chickens and dogs.
It was in the rear of the Turks, standing on a high platform and watching the great prince and the leaders of a group of Turkic tribes on the battlefield, they were all dumbfounded.
"Do you know that this is the army of the Dasheng Dynasty?"
The eldest prince looked at the tribal leaders under his command with a puzzled expression.
"Prince, these people are like reinforcements from last night, and now we don't know who the other party is?"
Ah Guna scolded angrily: "Waste! ”
