Chapter 236: Barbarian Master (1st Update)
The overwhelming sword qi and sword qi made these grassland barbarians keep squeezing behind them one by one, no one wanted to die, but if they stepped into the front now, they would definitely die. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Cui Yu kept issuing orders, watching the six roads, listening to the eight directions, and taking the entire battlefield into his eyes.
This Datang army is composed of various factions of martial arts, although the individual force is much higher than the Datang army, but there is no red blood battle banner that the regular army of the Tang Dynasty makes the grassland barbarians fearful.
The reckless atmosphere of the rivers and lakes made them even less disciplined by the army, although Cui Yu temporarily suppressed them with one head after another, but Cui Yu also understood that the high-pressure policy was not a long-term law after all. It can be suppressed for a short time, but if it is like this for a long time, this army will definitely mutiny.
Therefore, when facing the grassland barbarians, Cui Yu racked his brains and thought about all the classic tactics against the grassland barbarians in the past life, and then improved them so that he could adapt to the high-level force configuration of this world.
Just think about the sword qi array composed of the innate masters in front of him, to put it bluntly, Cui Yu just used them as heavy armor soldiers in his previous life.
Although it does not have a strong heavy armor and heavy sword, the terrifying sword aura is even more terrifying than the heavy sword.
In the previous life, how the infantry of the Great Song Dynasty survived for hundreds of years in the hands of the steppe people with tigers and wolves on all sides, the heavy infantry of the Great Song Dynasty was an important reason.
Although Cui Yu scattered triangular nails and dug deep horse pits, these were just delaying the army, and he never had the luxury of hoping that the grassland barbarians could give up the cavalry and fight with him on foot.
But the other party would choose infantry to fight, which was definitely a surprise for Cui Yu.
In infantry battles, the martial arts warriors of the Tang Dynasty, even if they do not have the Red Blood Battle Banner, these martial arts masters are definitely stronger than the other steppe barbarians.
Time has passed little by little, and the innate soldiers have changed I don't know how many batches. Now twenty steps in front of them, a high corpse wall has already been piled up, and under Cui Yu's order, they are pressing step by step, standing on the high corpse wall, looking down on the grassland barbarians.
Among these grassland barbarians, there are naturally innate masters, but they are not in formation, scattered in the grassland army, in the face of the innate master's sword qi array, even if they can resist a few waves, they are also in the endless sword qi, exhausted their internal strength and died.
Even some of the more powerful martial artists, when they were about to approach the innate soldiers, the martial artists above the refining qi standing on the wall tower, they would bend their bows and arrows, shooting terrifying arrows one after another, even if they couldn't shoot them, they could force them back back.
Everything in the Tang army was trembling and orderly, and the fruitful results made them gradually full of self-confidence.
Maybe they can really win.
The battle lasted for half a day, and finally at noon, the steppe side finally sounded the horn of retreat.
In another siege battle, the steppe side failed.
The Tang soldiers broke out into warm cheers one by one, and Cui Yu also breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
Although the innate soldier's sword qi array was strong, it was also a heavy casualty. Thousands of people were left on the battlefield with their lives.
More than half of the innate soldiers are even more consumed by internal force.
Although the sword qi array was strong, but in the same way, they couldn't dodge the arrows shot by the grassland barbarians, even if these arrows were shot by innate realm martial artists, they didn't have to worry too much, the powerful sword qi could be easily swept away.
However, the Tang army has a strong refining and refining qi on one side, and the other party also has it.
They were dressed no differently from the other steppe barbarians, and they were not noticeable in the crowd.
And the arrows they shot were as fast as lightning, and these unsuspecting Tang soldiers had no way to stop them.
Thousands of casualties came from this, and there were a lot of soldiers on the grassland side who refined and refined qi, and the grassland materials were scarce, and the proportion of masters among them was quite low.
In this battle, the grassland barbarians left more than 20,000 corpses outside the Tang military camp, and I don't know how many were injured and disabled.
Even many of the crippled steppe barbarians, seeing that they were too badly wounded, wiped their necks with their hands, threw them on the battlefield and retreated.
Only those who were slightly injured were allowed to return to the camp alive.
In this way, the battle lasted for eight days, during which I don't know how many corpses had fallen outside the Tang military camp, and when I looked at the wall tower, it was dense, and the corpses fell layer after layer.
The steppe barbarians moved the trebuchet out the next day, but in terms of operation, it was obviously inferior to the Tang people, so the utility was relatively small.
But even so, it also brought a lot of trouble to the Tang army.
In addition, the battle damage of the congenital soldiers is now quite serious, and there are nearly more than 10,000 congenital masters who have died outside the Datang camp.
Just yesterday, the Qi Realm martial artist, who had already been preparing for a long time, handed over the work of the archer to the conjoined realm martial artist, and then jumped off the city tower, and the whole was already in a scuffle.
On the side of the Tang army, they gritted their teeth one by one and fought to the death.
It can be said that by now, it is no longer a strategy that can influence the situation of the war, everything is only a competition for the real strength of the two sides.
At night, several major leaders looked at Cui Yu, with anxiety on their faces, and the sound of wounded and sick wails came from time to time outside the battle.
Cui Yu knew what they were going to ask, so he could only comfort them here.
Cui Yu is not without a way to repel them, Cui Yu has this confidence, but he is also tightly repelled, what Cui Yu wants is to swallow them.
Because of daily life or problems, most of the grassland barbarians have night blindness in their eyes, and most of the congenital warriors are blind people who open their eyes at night, as long as Cui Yu attacks the other party's grain, grass and oil depot at night, he can naturally force them back.
But after being forced back, for the steppe barbarians, what they lost was only food, and it can be said that they did not break their muscles and bones.
There is a shortage of food in the grassland, but Cui Yu will never be naïve to think that the other party just wants food.
Therefore, what Cui Yu has to do now is to drag the other party, and the major leaders also know that Datang has its own mysterious method of conveying information, so whether the Holy Emperor knows their current situation, they are not worried at all.
But whether the Holy Emperor will fulfill his promise, they have no confidence at all.
Preventing them all from dying, and sparing most of them, are two different things.
Early the next morning, Cui Yu and the others stood on the wall tower, preparing for a new day's battle, but today I don't know why, the grassland barbarians on the opposite side did not send troops to attack the city, but a grassland barbarian who looked like a general rushed over, only to see that he was amazingly imposing, and he was a strong man who thought he was refining qi and transforming gods.
Cui Yu waved his hand, signaling not to act rashly.
The strong man came to the wall tower about fifty paces, which was already within the range of the archers.
I saw him looking around on the wall tower, and asked, "Dare to ask where the Tang Emperor is?"
