Chapter 229 Heavy casualties
"There is no way to retreat, as long as they capture the Man King, they will not dare to attack again!"
The Tuli Khan shouted: "All the sons and daughters will follow me to the left to break through, make way for the rear army, and fight with the Tang army!" β
With an order, the Turki Khan turned his horse's head and led his tribe's army to break through from the left!
However, it was all in vain, and as they rushed towards the forest to the left, arrows rained down in a flood of arrows.
"Poof..."
The dull sound of blades piercing flesh and blood rang in the ears of the Turi Khan, accompanied by the roar of horses and the screams of sergeants.
But he could only ignore it, and the only way out was to rush into the woods.
The lush trees can withstand the onslaught of arrows, and most importantly, there is no army of the Tang Dynasty there!
If you look from above, you will see that the Turks are divided into two teams at this time, one is the team of the Turki Khan, and they are desperate to rush to the dense forest on the left.
The other group was another tribal army that had previously ambushed the mouth of the gorge.
During this period, the Turks were only passively beaten.
But after all, there was a huge disparity in numbers, and the arrows carried by the Iron Eagle Guard were not many, and they were soon gone.
And the same is true of the Tang army.
The Turki Khan managed to lead his army into the dense forest, but suffered heavy casualties.
The previous army of 1,000 people was now only three or four hundred people.
The army in the rear, because it was defenseless, rushed into the encirclement and suffered even more heavy casualties.
Of the more than 1,500 people, only about 200 remained, and all of them were injured to a greater or lesser extent.
The depression was full of the corpses of the Turks.
At this time, Cheng Yanjin led his troops to suddenly attack and rushed to the depression.
Qin Shou aimed the spearhead at the dense forest.
"Set fire."
Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Shou ordered the Tang soldiers to aim their bows and arrows at the dense forest.
Burning arrows were fired into the forest.
It was the hiding place that Qin Shou deliberately leaked to the Turks, that is, he was betting that they would panic and hide in the dense forest.
"Ahem, cough, cough..."
The thick black smoke is especially choking in the dense forest.
The army of the Tuli Khan was now smoky and painful, and the fire gradually spread, and the scorching tongue of fire was swallowing out.
They were going to be burned to death in the forest.
"Damn the Don!"
The Turki Khan did not dare to say much, lest he be filled with black smoke.
"Take out the water bladder, tear off the cloth on your body, and soak it with water to cover your mouth and nose!"
After all, he is a Khan who has experienced big scenes, and he naturally knows how to deal with thick smoke.
But in addition to this, the rapid spread of the fire also made it difficult for the Turks to deal with it.
"Breakout!"
The Turki Khan made a decision on the spot.
If you stay here, you will be burned to death sooner or later.
Only by forcibly breaking through can there be a glimmer of life.
In the dense forest, the Tuli Khan was completely red-eyed, and he didn't know how many people were left on his side.
But he knew that if it dragged on, the number of soldiers would drop sharply, and they would even lose their chance to break through!
There were many branches and leaves in the dense forest, and the Turki Khan drew his scimitar and slashed it with his sword.
Now the Turks had no choice but to use their scimitars to cut down the bushes that blocked their way.
However, the smoke was billowing out, and although they protected their mouths and noses, their eyes were still smoked.
Scimitars slashed into bushes, cut on tree branches, and in order to survive, they could only use this method to speed up their progress, expend their physical strength, and cut a way for themselves to survive.
Until he was exhausted and fell to the ground with black smoke.
Prolonged strenuous activity is already extremely easy to consume oxygen, not to mention that in this situation of thick smoke everywhere, the air is full of toxic and harmful substances.
With each inhalation, the damage to the lungs worsens, and they are closer to syncope.
"Kill it!"
The Turki Khan finally led his army to see hope and was about to rush out of the dense forest.
"Quick, soldiers, follow me to break out!"
Tuli Khan saw the light in front of him and was about to rush out, but the scene in front of him made his expression stiffen.
Qin Shou held the gentian bright silver spear in his hand, leading the neat and uniform Tang soldiers, and was guarding in front of the dense forest.
He grinned and whispered, "Kill out?" β
"Where are you going to kill?"
"Could it be that I am a good son here in the Tang Dynasty?"
As soon as the words fell, Qin Shou took the lead, raised his spear and rushed into the army of the Turks.
Lu Bu's power was exerted to the extreme by him at this moment.
Run riot.
Wherever the spear swept, blood was spilled.
A scream was heard.
With Qin Shou taking the lead in the charge, the momentum of the Tang soldiers climbed, and at this moment, they also rushed in with Qin Shou.
At this time, the Turkic soldiers were already powerless to fight anymore, their faces turned black, and the weapons in their hands were shaky.
Killing them is as easy as killing a pig or a dog.
The number of Turkic soldiers has once again plummeted.
"You despicable Tang people can only have some intrigues!"
Tuli Khan's eyes were red at the moment, and he roared as he watched the soldiers around him being slashed and killed.
It seems that he has completely forgotten that the Turks had laid an ambush here.
King, how dare you fight me alone! β
Tuli Khan raised his long knife and shouted at Qin Shou.
The gentian bright silver spear in Qin Shou's hand pierced the chest of a Turk, and he pulled out the spear and shook the blood on the tip of the spear.
He said coldly: "Why don't you dare? β
"Let the horses come!"
As soon as this remark came out, all the soldiers were shocked.
"Lord Wang! It doesn't have to be this way! β
"Lord Wang, this Turk is deliberately provoking you!"
They were all dissuading Qin Shou, all because of Qin Shou's previous words in front of the army, and his heroic posture now taking the lead.
In their hearts, they have long recognized this powerful prince, and recognized that he is different from those pampered princes in the capital.
Moreover, in terms of combat effectiveness, in the eyes of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the Lord of Shi is no match for the Tuli Khan.
However, before their words fell, the next second they all stood in place in a daze, their eyes widened, revealing an incredible look.
I saw the Tuli Khan rushing forward, waving the big knife in his hand, and roaring towards Qin Shou.
But Qin Shou didn't move at all, watching him rush towards him.
It's close.
It's close!
Just as the Tuli Khan rushed in front of him, he tensed his body on his horse and made a force to split the Huashan shape.
Qin Shou finally moved.
He gently swung his gentian silver spear, aimed the hilt at the Tuli Khan, and then jerked it forward.
"Puff"
Tuli Khan was hit in the chest so hard that he felt a cardiac arrest, and his blood surged in an instant, and the whole person was stabbed off the horse by the handle of the gun.
If it weren't for the armor, I'm afraid this shot would have pierced his chest.
At this time, the Tang soldiers swarmed up.
As soon as the Turki Khan, who wanted to resist, was about to get up, he was forced to lie on the ground by sharp blades coming from all directions, unable to move.
"You!"
"Shameless!"
Tuli Khan's eyes were full of fire, staring at Qin Shou.
"βan inch long, an inch strong." The corners of Qin Shou's mouth hooked, and he chuckled: "Besides, is it possible that you still think that if you change to the same weapon, you will be able to defeat me?" β
Tuli Khan was shocked when he heard this, Qin Shou didn't move, he thought he was going to succeed.
