Chapter 175: Heru is defeated, and the Uighurs prepare
"Let these Turkic barbarians taste the strength of our Central Plains army's defensive warfare."
"Understood, young marshal."
Next, there is the specific division of labor among the battalion generals.
It is more than ten miles away from the front of the camp of the final Jin army.
The genius was bright, and there were many torches lit around it.
When He Luke appeared on the top of the Chinese army's tent umbrella in a golden armor outfit, the figures all over the mountains and fields were in a trance, and the shouts shook the sky.
To his left and right were the generals and the guards attached to the tent, lined up neatly and murderously.
He concentrated more than 8,000 Turkic soldiers who were capable of fighting, plus 4,000 Leopard Divisions, and prepared to deal a heavy blow to the final Jin army.
"All the formation, come forward and call the formation..."
The Turkic generals stepped forward, shouted and insulted, shot arrows and issued war letters, but there was no movement in the military fortress.
"What's going on?" He Lu, who was standing under the umbrella, asked the generals beside him.
"Your Highness, it may be that Guo Rui of the Final Jin Army is scared, and they are cowering in the camp and dare not come out to fight." One of the generals said assumedly.
"What? Don't dare to come out to fight?! ”
He Lu was stunned for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said suspiciously: "No, Guo Rui'er is in command these days, and he will rely on him to single-handedly pick out Mu Toni, where is he like a cowardly coward." ”
In his heart, there are mixed joys and sorrows at the moment.
Hey, of course, the enemy did not dare to come out to meet the battle, at least the morale was frustrated.
And these improvised camps can withstand the galloping horses of the Turks and the trampling of iron hooves.
The worry is that defensive warfare has always been the strong point of the Central Plains, and I don't know what secret weapons are hidden in this camp.
"Order all to be ready for battle!" No matter what, he gave the order to fight:
"Send out a cavalry battalion first to make a temptation."
"Yes!" A general was ordered to leave.
"Doot toot..."
The horns of the bulls are rising, which is the trumpet of the Turks to fight.
Everyone understands that the final battle is coming!
More than 500 riders of a vanguard cavalry battalion are forming a phalanx.
"Attack..."
At the sound of the order, the Turks first jogged neatly, ran at a medium speed, and finally sprinted.
Guo Rui and Lan Tianhe received a signal from the lookout and understood that there was only one cavalry battalion, and about 500 people rode over.
"Good steel is used on the blade, and these more than 500 people rode close and shot them with crossbows on the second layer."
Of course, Guo Rui will not use a trebuchet and a large crossbow, but will shoot with a repeating crossbow and a riding crossbow, and the rest will use the archers behind the gun array.
"Understood."
Lan Tianhe, as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, fully understood the young marshal's intentions and sent a herald in front of the tent to convey it.
Five hundred paces from the gate of the camp, the Turks began to sprint, and they howled and howled in a formation of wild wolves.
"Parallel salvo!"
With the commander's order, more than 1,000 archers in front of the crossbow array opened their bows and fired a volley.
The so-called parallel salvo is to shoot horses.
The people who charge up here are all light horses, without heavy armor, and the war horse has the largest target, once the war horse is hit by an arrow and falls to the ground, the rider often uses the combat effectiveness.
As expected, five hundred riders were killed or wounded in several rounds of crossbow arrows, and the remaining remnants of the army fled in all directions.
"Crossbow bow array, we also have riding crossbows, this time the first cavalry battalion of the leopard division attached to the ion is in front, each of them has a riding crossbow in their hands, let's have a tooth for a tooth, in addition, put the remaining eight thousand tiger division soldiers on board, and more than 10,000 people do a group charge." Heru was ready to fight hard.
"Yes." Arrangements for the camp of the staff.
In about half an hour, the sky was already bright.
10,000 Turkic cavalry began to charge in groups, led by 1,500 attached ions, who were armed with crossbows, ready to fire five shots to suppress the opponent's crossbow arrows, and then sprint, which could annihilate the opponent in one fell swoop.
"Click... Da Da Da..."
For a while, the earth shook, the sand and rocks flew, and the black crows came like ghosts.
"Scattered..."
As the queue in front dispersed, there was a sudden whistling sound in the array.
"Long-range strikes."
More than 30 stone throwers, more than 200 car crossbows, and eight-bull crossbows were launched at the same time.
The Turks' crossbows were attacked before they could reach range.
"Shhhh
With a deafening sound of breaking the air, the final Jin army used all the weapons at the bottom of the box.
Suddenly, huge boulders, flaming stones, arrows the thickness of a baby's arm, black crows, covering the sky and the sun, fell from the sky like dark clouds.
The arrows fired by the ballista were so powerful that the first cavalry who rushed in front suddenly flew backwards.
Eight ox crossbows and car crossbows, these are the long-range standard weapons of the final Jin army, which are the big killers and mortal enemies of the grassland cavalry charge.
This kind of volley, the crossbow arrow has a strong explosive power, like a huge iron comb, "brush, brush, brush..." can instantly plow out a line of blood light.
In this terrible storm of crossbows, even the flesh and blood protected by double armor and shield may not even have time to shout, and the garden is like wheat in a rice field, falling in pieces.
It was definitely the worst nightmare.
For a while, there were screams, wails, blood splatters everywhere... Panicked soldiers trampled on each other.
This was followed by the second blow.
At this time, more than 1,000 double strong crossbows and more than 1,000 hand crossbows were fired at the same time.
The rain of arrows flew like locusts, and the shrill sound of arrows breaking through the air filled the night sky, and the fiercest warriors on the scene would have shuddered.
Because there are crossbow arrows everywhere.
The attached ions, who rushed to the front, suffered the most casualties this time, and before they could use their riding and shooting skills, they died in a daze under the boulders and crossbow arrows.
finally rushed into the gate, but only a few people rode it, and they couldn't form a scale effect, and they also died in the bow and arrow or gun array of the final Jin army.
And the so-called tiger division in the middle, who is actually a clan soldier, has long been frightened and fled around.
The battle of more than two hours before and after was basically concluded just after noon.
The mournful neighing of the war horses, the warriors fighting for their lives, this place is like a hell of a Shura field.
A thick layer of blood and mud was piled up on the desert within a radius of tens of miles, and dead bodies were everywhere, either horses or people.
The air was filled with a strong, suffocating smell of blood, and even birds and beasts were shunned from afar.
After almost half a day of slaughter, the battlefield littered with corpses and rivers of blood had become silent and solemn.
All that remained were wild dogs and vultures, barking in the distance.
Guo Rui ordered the ordnance to be set up and prepare for a more fierce battle.
In his mind, there were also the Uighurs.
They might be able to pull off a trick.
……
As Guo Rui had expected, the Uighurs were about to come forward.
In addition to their 50,000 warriors, they also brought secret weapons, tens of thousands of yaks.
They were ready to attack the formation using the famous yak fire.
Murong Chui, the great commander of the Uighur royal family, was comforting He Lu, "Your Highness, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and next, this military order will give you revenge." ”
As soon as the words fell, I could only hear the sound of horses' hooves rolling like thunder from the side mountain forest.
"What troops?" Murong Chui and He Lu were both taken aback.
So soon, their scouts didn't have time to report it, indicating that they were lurking here beforehand.
"Your Highness, when you see the banner, it should be the golden wolf rider of Duji." The Scout Captain reports.
Not long after the words fell, thousands of golden wolf riders appeared in front of him, and a steady stream was still emerging behind them.
