Chapter 365: Decisive Victory
Sha Boluo probably never dreamed that he would have such a day.
In fact, when the elite iron cavalry of the Northern Qi Dynasty was not much left under the strangulation of the wolf cavalry, he once beat his horse and drove forward, holding the banner of the Qi army that his subordinates had just captured, and aimed at the Qi army that was still fighting endlessly, using half-baked Xianbei words to proclaim his love for talent, intending to break the morale of the other party.
The small Qi army sent by Daxi Changru to clamp down on the back road of the Turks was wiped out by him, and this general flag was his trophy, of course, the general from the Khitan was also cut off by Sha Boluo, and the Great Khan, who vented his anger on the corpse, felt that this head was very commemorative, and he wanted to make this head into a wine vessel.
Originally, he thought that if the Qi in front of him would be caught by him, he would also make that person's head into a wine vessel, but now he has changed his mind, such a brave warrior should be driven by the eagle, and this person should belong to him!
And those Qi soldiers took his kindness as a deaf ear, not only that, but his shouting also revealed his position, so that those red-eyed killers knew their location.
Smoke and dust billowed from the battlefield, and there were wolf-like Turks on all sides, and although the soldiers of the Qi army were brave and fearless, it was a big problem to determine the direction in the melee.
Sha Bo's shouting made everyone in the Qi army get up and their eyes lit up, at least, they knew that they should rush in that direction!
Although Luo Yi is young, he is a first-class powerful character in the army, a long knife is known as invincible in the army, and now the opportunity to make a contribution is in front of him, naturally there is no reason to be afraid, but he is more and more energetic, shouting to everyone:
"That bitch is right in front, only a few dozen steps away, kill me with me!"
"-We'll help you hold off your pursuers, and you'll lead someone through it! Remember the general's instructions and cut his wolf flag! Chop the wolf flag! A big man covered in armor stared at his red eyes, led a few people, stranded his war horse, and rushed in the opposite direction without looking back, slightly alleviating the current crisis of Luo Yi.
On the other hand, Luo Yi circled in the vicinity, not entangled with the pursuers, and a bow and arrow were buckled into the bowstring, silently crossing a distance of 100 paces, and shooting the enemy soldiers face to face. The rest of the men did the same, raising their crossbows and shooting at the enemy.
The Turks raised their shields and retreated, inadvertently revealing a weak gap. Qi Luoyi seized the opportunity, his eyes were quick, he jumped a few steps towards the gap that shot out, jumped out of the encirclement of the enemy, and immediately killed the encirclement woven by the sand bowl.
The hideous face under the jet-black iron hood was clearly visible, and the sand bowl was slightly frightened, urging the horse to run. After all, he has been on the battlefield for many years, understands Luo Yi's intentions, and knows that this place is not suitable for a long time, so he retreats quickly.
With the cautiousness and carefulness of the sand bowl, it is impossible not to prepare more, there are two rows of crossbowmen on both sides of the formation, and even if someone can rush to the front, they will be shot into hedgehogs by the dense bows and arrows!
But Sha Boluo obviously miscalculated, or rather, Luo Yi's riding skills were really surprisingly good, before the bow and arrow swooped over, he hid under the belly of the horse, and when the arrow was finished, he had rushed to the golden wolf's head flag, and the rest of the matter was logical.
Seeing the golden wolf flag, which symbolized the supreme majesty of the Ashina family, fell to the ground, the entire battlefield was quiet for a moment, and Sha Boluo's heart seemed to stop beating at some moment......
Since the Ashina family established its position as the king on the steppe, this wolf banner has never fallen, and as long as it appears on the battlefield, no matter how powerful the enemy is, it will be reduced to powder under the iron hooves of the Turkic warriors.
However, even today, the banner that bears the supreme glory of the Turks fell before his eyes...... The armor of the Qi people rushed to the front of the Turkic Great Khan, and in front of all the Turkic warriors, they cut it off......
Ashina's glory was trampled underfoot.
Sha Bo looked at him with a little determination, a palpitating gaze reflected in his sunken eye sockets, and his eyes were cold and bloodthirsty.
At the other end of his gaze, the war horse under Luo Yi's crotch finally exhausted its last strength and fell to the ground foaming at the mouth.
Holding the wound on his right leg, he limped up from the ground, his head held high, and he frantically provoked the Turkic Khan with an arrogant gesture......
"Such wolf cubs are not ripe." Sha Bo suddenly felt a little excited, waved his hand, and a large number of Turks surrounded him from all directions...... Qi Luoyi and the remaining dozen or so people threw away their bows and crossbows, gathered together back to back, raised their shields, and shouted at the top of their voices: "-Grandma's, come on!" ”
Behind Da Xi Changru, countless warriors had already put on iron armor, and scattered white snow accompanied by a biting wind fell on their shoulders.
The old general was observing the battle, looking for the best time to meet them, and in front of them was a gentle slope that would allow them to rush all the way to the plain...... The wolf banner of the Turks was cut off, and then Luo Rong's soldiers and horses joined the battle, and the whole battlefield was like a boiling soup pot, clamoring endlessly......
Da Xi Changru realized that the time had come, he glanced back, then raised the horsewhip in his hand, and said in a flat and resolute tone: "Rush." ”
Behind him, the iron armor like the tide of the sea surged, and the most elite warriors of Jinyang lifted their lances, turned over their horses, and silently pressed forward.
The Turks had apparently noticed the situation as well, and a group of Hus ran to the foot of the mountain, their faces pale, and their bows bent towards the mountain, intending to stop the Qi army's footsteps.
And this is destined to be in vain, the Qi army is well-equipped, the iron cavalry in heavy armor is in front, the rest of the elite are behind, and the Turkic soldiers and horses are the ones who fall behind, and the bows and arrows fall on them, or they are blocked, or stuck in the gaps in the armor, and they can't make any effective killing.
What's more, there is a smooth road in front of the Qi army, even if there is not a conspicuous grass and stone, for the elite of the six towns under the command of Daxi Changru, who is mainly based on cavalry, it is the place to come in.
The Eastern Turkic army couldn't resist it, and watched the Qi army tear through the encirclement and go straight to the center of the formation.
"Shoot at the dense place of the horses, scatter their horses, so that they can't line up", Da Xi Changru reminded loudly, at this moment, he had waited too long. Fortunately, the long dormant wait has finally come to an end! He turned a deaf ear to those miscellaneous nonsense and went straight to the elite wolf rider taken by Ashina, which was the full power of the Eastern Turkic Royal Court!
As for the miscellaneous beards that come up on both sides? Hmph, the duel between the strong, where are the points where the ants speak?
For the sturdy nomads, war horses and scimitars are their everything. However, these war horses, which they regarded as treasures, were now a source of disaster, and the Qi army filled clay pots with gunpowder and threw them high into the Turkic array. The horses were instantly startled by the thunder and fire, and they roared uneasily, throwing the horse-mounted warriors down.
Before they even had time to face each other, they were already in a state of collapse.
The various departments could not stop the charge of the Qi army, and the army's heart was already restless, and they were not only shocked by the combat strength of the Qi army, but also afraid that the Great Khan would settle accounts after the autumn, and fell into a dilemma for a while!
Sha Bo saw that these miscellaneous beards were so useless, and he was immediately furious, and he transferred three small elite wolf horsemen to block the Qi army, but the Qi army was in full swing, where could the Turks stop it? Those who dared to fight with it were either knocked off the plane or cut off their horses.
At this time, Da Xi Changru also rose up to his might, the arrows were not in vain, and the corpses were all over the field, and after several times, these wolf horses had to break down......
"Rubbish!" Sha Bo slashed and killed three small leaders in a row before he stopped his anger slightly: "If you don't intercept them, they will rush in front of me!" Blow the trumpet, gather the rest of the men for me, Hazar! Gather the rest of your men, gather them, hedge against the Qi people, and press them back! The mountain in front of us is not high, and there is no barrier, as long as we can press them over, we can organize archers to align people to suppress them with bows and crossbows. Otherwise, once the team under the mountain is scattered, the morale of the army will be in chaos! How many centaurs can only wait for death! ”
Sha Boluo's expression was a little hideous, and he spun in place restlessly.
The Turkic general named Hazar was kneeling on the ground in a cold sweat, not daring to look up at the angry look of the Great Khan, and somehow, at the thought of facing the iron cavalry of the Qi army, this Turkic man, who had always been known for his bravery and good fighting, actually felt a little afraid at this moment, and his lips spurted for a long time before replying:
"Great Khan, the Qi people have just rushed down, the momentum is rising, they are invincible, they have made enough preparations, I ask the Great Khan to retreat a distance with most of the men and horses first, if the Great Khan must fight with the Qi people here, the blood of the Turkic warriors will be shed here!"
Hazar said: "Great Khan, look at those miscellaneous beards, they have been frightened by the Qi army, and they don't dare to fight them at all!" ”
"You mean, we should run?" Sha Bo asked in a cold voice.
"Great Khan ......"
Hazar opened his mouth to explain, but Sha Bo Luo did not want to listen to his explanation, and as soon as Hazar raised his head, the huge head rolled to the ground, and the blood almost stained the hem of Sha Bo Luo's clothes red.
Sha Bo tightened his jaw slightly, his gaze scanned around, and then landed on a nobleman in the crowd who pretended to be calm, "Chu Luohou, you give you five hundred people to supervise the battle, you go and gather the rest of those tribes, let them block the attack of the Qi people, and if they dare to retreat, cut off the head of their leader!" ”
"Great Khan ......" Ashina Luo Hou never imagined that his brother would actually send him up at this juncture, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Qi army is so powerful, and if he goes up, he will be sent to death! But as a brother, Chu Luohou has a considerable understanding of Sha Bolu's ruthlessness and ruthlessness, and he doesn't dare to say a word to his brother at all.
Under the pressure of Sha Boluo's eyes, Chu Luohou spit out a word with difficulty: "Yes." ”
Sha Boluo's desperate gamble did not have much effect, although these gathered cannon fodder did stagnate the pace of the Qi army to a certain extent, but the collapse of the Eastern Turkic army was obviously faster.
The poor Turkic herdsmen, armed with rudimentary round shields (wooden signs), slowly moved towards the Qi army under the pressure of the warlords. Some Turkic archers used them as meat shields to shoot the weaker Qi army, each of them wore black Luo circle armor, and their task was not only to shoot the Qi army, but also to supervise the battle, and shoot everyone who dared to retreat!
The Qi army was fearless, and like predatory tigers, they tore all the enemies who dared to stand in front of them to pieces...... Zahu rushed up and fell. The Turkic wolf rode up and fell, and then, as the shouts faded away, and the battlefield was dead silent......
By the time Yang Yan appeared here with his strikers, the war was over, and the corpses were piled up on a hill in the wilderness, and the ice under his feet was still congealed with sticky blood.
But Sha Bolu did not catch it, and the Turkic Great Khan, who kept saying that he wanted to fight to the death with the Qi army, decisively abandoned his troops and fled after witnessing the coalition forces being crushed by the Qi army.
"It's too late." Yang Yan thought with regret.
In the center of the battlefield, the dilapidated wolf-headed banner was planted diagonally in the soil, and the Turkic noble man covered in blood led the few remaining subordinates to kneel in the snow, holding a dagger decorated with gems in both hands, and respectfully presented it to the envoy of Great Qi, "Ashina Luohou, willing to surrender to His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qi!" ”
