Chapter 306: A group of tigers devouring wolves
At the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain, the river has been frozen, and the snow on the ice surface can be swept away, and the water can be seen flowing slowly under the ice surface.
"The snow is about to stop, and it won't be long before the Turks will launch a general attack." Zuo Xiang clapped his palms, the iron armor wrapped around his body rattled, and the snow foam fell. In this ghost weather, the armor rider and a heavy armor foot soldier had to put on the leather armor outside, and then put the iron armor inside, and the whole person was fat a few times, and the flexibility was greatly limited, but after all, it was safer.
The difference between a veteran and a young general is not just experience, if he has lived to Murong Yan's age, unless he is forced to a dead end like Lu Teng, he will not easily do anything risky. Before every battle, Murong Yan would always estimate the situation worse, so that he could have room for calm turnover, but if he was replaced by a younger general, they would be much more eager to obtain greater military merits, so that they would not miss every opportunity.
The emperor must prefer to use the steady one, so the traditional statement of seniority is not out of pedantic, and there is some truth in it. "Boy, look at how many people there are on the other side." Murong Yan gave up his horse, climbed to the top of the mountain bag on foot, looked at the dense gray felt tent in the distance, and then raised the horsewhip in his hand and said to Duan Decao beside him.
There are felt tents everywhere on the opposite side, which is dazzling, and the most conspicuous is of course the white wolf flag of the Chinese army, and all the other flags surround it, like the stars holding the moon. Duan Decao lowered his waist, secretly walked forward for dozens of steps, hid behind a poplar tree, carefully counted and estimated, and then came back to report: "I didn't count those vassals, only the Turks, the Turks are at least 20,000, and the rest of the tribal vassals such as Tiele are counted together, and they are estimated to be fifty or sixty thousand." ”
"This flag is very familiar," Murong Yan raised his whip and pointed at the flag, and said: "Boy, teach you to recognize clearly, this is the real elite palace tent army of the Turks, the ones we fought in front of us are not counted, against these guys, it can be regarded as a real meat!" They are not simple, they are powerful, and they cannot be repelled by casual fighting. Judging from the old man, there are at least 10,000 armored wolf riders. Explain that the bowl is behind! ”
"We don't seem to have the upper hand." Duan Decao looked back worriedly, and there were more than 100 cavalrymen wrapped in heavy armor. If it weren't for the heavy snow being thick enough, and the small number of people with him, which covered the sound of horses' hooves, maybe the other party would have rushed over, tens of thousands to fight a hundred, and the people led by Zuo Xiang had no chance of winning, after all, the opposite side was the real trump card army of the Turks......
While he was thinking wildly, there was a neighing sound of horses, and several Turkic horses spotted them, shouting all the way in the direction of the camp, and two groups of Turkic horses cut out from the left and right wings and surrounded them.
"Yo, it's quite fast!" Murong Yan's gray eyebrows twitched, and he didn't have the slightest sense of urgency to be caught, but watched them chase after them with interest, and from the posture of their horses, he could judge the combat strength of these people. He was not in a hurry, but Duan Decao was in a hurry, and hurriedly suggested, "Zuo Xiang should take someone to go first, and come to the palace after the humble position, just in case!" ”
"Don't worry, there's still time to retreat." Murong Yan was still in that procrastinating tone, and immediately, the cavalry burst out of the Turkic camp, a sea of people, looking like there were no more than 5,000 people! Duan Decao's face was full of black lines, but Murong Yan said: "I know how many of them are, do they know how many of them I have?" My 100 riders may only be a hundred riders, or I may be a pioneer of 10,000 riders. I don't expect them to chase too closely. ”
Murong Yan laughed, stepped on the war horse, and a hundred armor horsemen left from this mountain bag in a chaotic but orderly queue and crossed the river. Duan Decao looked at the ice on the river and said, "We should chisel the ice so that they can't cross the river." ”
Murong Yan said: "There is no need to do this, the ice is so thick, I'm afraid that before you can chisel, people will already rush over." As I said earlier, the Turks did not know our intentions and did not dare to bite too hard. As soon as you dig the ice, they will immediately know that we are not strong enough and weak-hearted, and they will cross the river immediately, and then it will be the real danger! ”
Duan Decao was suspicious, and under the order of Zuo Xiang, the Qi army after crossing the river slowed down and made a look of patrolling and seducing. It's like a fat sheep on the other side of the river, the Turks scratch their hearts and lungs and want to eat it, they thought that the other party would run away when they saw them, but found that people didn't run away when they saw them, and they were still chewing grass there calmly.
Murong Yan deliberately stayed and waited for the Turks for a while, and waited until he saw the leader of the row, Murong Yan ordered to start running, and only started to run when the Turks saw it, and the nobles who led the army felt that this was obviously the Qi people deliberately waiting for them to see it, and they became more and more suspicious, and thousands of people blocked there and did not dare to come forward, and finally ordered a few hundred household officials to go up to chase and suppress.
"A hundred of us have already made the other party dare not act rashly." Murong Yan quickly whipped his horse and rode to the dust, the wind blew his armor and rattled, and the big bow was on his shoulder, "Hold on, when they react, the old man will already be gone!" ”
"Zuo Xiang, a Turk is chasing after you!" Duan Decao lifted the lance and pointed to the back, Murong Yan turned his head to look, only to see several teams of people and horses catching up behind, and the horses' hooves stepped on the half-human-high snow foam. Murong Yan turned his head and glared at Duan Decao, "This is a Turkic scout, they are catching up and testing us!" The big army behind didn't follow, don't surprise Lao Tzu, you kid! ”
The Turkic horsemen were not stupid, and they also knew that they could not fall for the Qi people's scheme, so they opened their riding bows on their horses and launched a long-range attack on the Qi army, but the power of the riding bow was small, and it was only suitable for flank roundabout harassment, not suitable for shooting the elite armored cavalry armed to the teeth in front of them. The damage inflicted on the Qi army after several waves of attacks was almost drizzle.
"Run a little further, and after that hill, we'll turn around and slaughter them! Go first! Murong Yan pulled up the reins, the horse under his crotch galloped on the snow, he took off the big bow behind his back, drew a few long swords and put them on the string, the string was tight, and then opened, and the feather arrow jumped out. Immediately, a muffled snort sounded, and a Turkic probe horse was hit with an arrow in the face, and the feather arrow was inserted into the eye socket, and it was immediately planted from the galloping horse.
The second arrow followed closely, and it stands to reason that the cold air flow blocking it would have an impact on the strength and accuracy of the bow and arrow, but the strength of Murong Yan's bow was really strong, and within a short distance, the second Turkic scout fell to the ground in response, and the probe horse he was aiming at widened his eyes in horror, pulled the reins sharply, and before he could shift his position, an arrow jumped from the front and pierced his chest!
Murong Yan proved that his sword was not old with superb riding and archery, and the Qi army burst out with cheers, and then under the leadership of Duan Decao, he picked up his lance and killed these dumbfounded probes! Duan Decao rushed to the front, rushing left and right, invincible! The Turkic cavalry in front of him only hesitated for a moment, and was immediately killed by him on horseback!
Generally speaking, those who can be scouts are elite veterans, who have licked blood from the knife edge, and their combat power is naturally considerable. But the group of armored cavalry in front of him is not another army, it is the famous Baibao Xianbei, who only picks out one of the dozens or hundreds of men! Wrapped in a layer of heavy armor, riding a fat and strong horse from Youzhou, he ran over like a tank in the chaos, and flew with severed limbs and stumps everywhere he went!
A Turk with a spear in his hand rushed at them, and one of the armored horsemen rushed up to them, dodged the spear, smashed his fist into the ribs of the Turk, and then snatched the spear with his hand, and threw it with his hand, and the spear was nailed to the chest of a cavalryman in the distance like an arrow, and he was taken off his horse and nailed to the ground! The crimson blood slowly trickled down the snow, and the pole of the spear sank half a foot into the ground......
The tactics that the Turks are good at, segmentation, sneak attack, siege, are effective when encircling a herd of sheep, but at this time, they are facing a herd of fierce tigers! The Turks were stunned by a look, and after a few rounds, they began to retreat back in panic, and the Qi army naturally couldn't let them go back to report the news, so they bit them to the death, and chased them one by one and killed them one by one!
A Turk fell off his horse in panic, and staggered back while covering his wounds, and was about to cross the mountain when a large arrow pierced his throat, and the two large feathers at the end of the arrow were still trembling......
