The first volume starts with a big win
A black and oppressive dark cloud swept in from afar, making the heavens and the earth also change color, the huge sound of horses' hooves seemed to be a muffled thunder mixed in the dark clouds, the earth trembled, and the momentum created by hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry was enough to destroy everything.
The war horse felt the fear of the coming big war, 'Slip!' screamed, the front hooves were raised high, and Yang Yuanba also saw it, and a black line about ten miles long appeared at the end of the grassland in the distance.
"Wei Chi!"
Yang Yuanba shouted, Yu Chiwan hurriedly blew the eagle flute, the eagle flute made a sharp and piercing sound, and the falcon let out a crisp long roar, flapped its wings and flew away, circling and flying to the south.
Everyone had no time to talk about it, so they turned their horses around and followed Yang Yuanba to the west, and several of them, in the Turkic army of hundreds of thousands, were as small as ants.
In the distance, Yang Su's eighteen iron guards also changed color in shock, turned their horses' heads and galloped westward, quickly leaving the battlefield.
.......
At this time, Yang Su was already in the first army, and with his own sense, the enemy army was already not far away, and he stared into the distance, feeling a cold murderous aura appear at the end of the grassland.
"Marshal, our eagle!"
Yang Su raised his head, only to see a falcon circling and flying, red eagle legs, that is the sign of their scout falcon, the falcon chirped in the air, flying out of an arc route, the scout general Zhao Yong understood the meaning of this flight posture, he shouted: "Boss, the eagle is here to report the news, the enemy situation has been found ahead!"
Yang Su raised his hand, "The whole army is arrayed!"
The 80,000-strong army was divided into four armies in the vast steppe, the middle army, the left and right wings and the garrison army, stretching for several miles, at this time everyone felt that the earth was trembling, this was the Turks killed, the war horses began to be restless, snorting, and the palms of the soldiers clenched their spears were sweating.
A black line appeared at the end of the grassland, without stagnation, overwhelming, sweeping towards the Tianwu Army with an unstoppable momentum, Yang Su showed a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, he was waiting for this moment.
"Crossbowmen ready!" he gave the first order.
10,000 crossbowmen and 5,000 archers marched forward at the same time, with crossbowmen in front and archers behind, crossbowmen shooting from a distance and archers shooting at close range, a staggered combination of distance and nearness.
10,000 crossbowmen lined up in three rows, one zhang apart from each other, the first row half squatted, and 3,000 crossbows rose up on the ground, coldly aiming at the overwhelming Turkic army.
The Turkic cavalry is getting closer and closer, and the monstrous murderous aura seems to destroy everything in heaven and earth, under the banner of the golden wolf's head, Datou Khan raised his sword and shouted: "Fearless steppe warriors, kill all the enemies of the Central Plains, the women and treasures of the Central Plains, everything belongs to you, kill!"
"Kill!"
The Turkic cavalry instantly rushed into the crossbow arrows of the Sui army, and Yang Su waved his hand coldly, "Attack!"
"Knock! knock! knock!" The huge drum sounded, three thousand arrows were suddenly launched, forming a black arrow cloud, roaring towards the Turkic cavalry, and in an instant, the Turkic cavalry array was overturned on their backs, nearly 1,000 people were shot down, and then the second row of crossbow arrows of the Sui army came, and the Turkic soldiers continued to scream and fall to the ground in the charge, and the third row of arrow clouds roared again, and the dense crossbow arrows were like a storm, shooting through the Turkic shields and leather armor, and the Turkic cavalry rolled from the horses and fell to the ground one by one, and were trampled into flesh by the dense war horses.
The crossbowmen of the 123rd row of the Tianwu Army were skillful, and the crossbows, crossbows, and crossbows were fired in turn, and only three rounds were fired, and the Turkic cavalry lost more than 10,000 people, and the heavy losses made the murderous spirit of the Turkic cavalry quickly subside, and the formation began to be messy, and at this time, the forward had rushed to sixty paces away.
The crossbowmen of the Tianwu army retreated like a tide, the archers who had been waiting for a long time began to shoot hard, the archers used longbow arrows, the arrows were two feet three inches long, the steel clusters were sharp, and they shot out at an elevation angle, five thousand arrows were as dense as a torrential rain, the strength was strong, and even the people and horses could shoot through, and the 10,000 Turkic cavalry and war horses that rushed through the front fell to the ground with arrows, and the dead bodies piled up, the arrows of the Tianwu army were extremely fast, so that the Turkic cavalry rushed forward and were shot over, and the crossbowmen cooperated with the launch, the Turkic cavalry never rushed within forty steps, suffered heavy casualties, and the Turkic cavalry began to be in chaos.
Zhou Luohu, the commander of the First Army, saw that there was an opportunity, and he immediately asked Yang Su for his life, "I am willing to be the striker!"
Yang Su said coldly: "You lead 4,000 heavy armored cavalry to attack the Turkic Chinese army, if you are defeated, come and see you!"
"Obey!"
The drums of the Tianwu Army's attack were loud, the blue flag waved, and the four thousand most elite heavy cavalry launched, people wore heavy armor, horses wore heavy armor, waved iron halberds, and followed the blue battle flag to kill the Turkic cavalry, which was the Tianwu Dynasty spent 20 years of painstaking efforts to create armor and cavalry equipment, with the best war horses, the most powerful soldiers, and the most ferocious weapons.
This army rarely fought to defend the Jingshi, but Yang Su threw them into battle in the first battle, and he wanted to break the morale of the Turks with the most powerful heavy cavalry.
At this time, after a tragic bow and arrow battle, the initial monstrous murderous spirit of the Turkic cavalry has disappeared and can not be obtained, they were originally herdsmen of various tribes, without the iron will of the Tianwu army, all rely on a drum to defeat the enemy, his morale is high fast, fade quickly, when the dream of plundering the enemy's property is shattered, they begin to hesitate, began to miss their wives and children and lambs, it is early spring, it is the time when the ewes give birth, and it is difficult for the wife and father to take care of it.....
The 4,000 heavily armored cavalry were like an indestructible iron fist, and everywhere they passed, the corpses of the Turkic cavalry were all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river, killing the Turkic cavalry to the point that some tribes began to take the lead in turning around and fleeing.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Yang Su immediately ordered, "Press my whole army, and cut those who retreat!"
The drums beat loudly, the battle flag flew, and the 80,000 Tianwu army, which had been gathering momentum for a long time, attacked the whole army, killing the Turkic cavalry overwhelmingly, the Turkic front army fell apart in an instant, turned around and fled, and then the army was at a loss for the reason, and it was also swept away, and more than 100,000 Turkic cavalry completely collapsed, and was killed crying and screaming.....
Yang Yuanba led his men, like thousands of other scouts, to intercept on the periphery, and they galloped and rode with powerful arrows, knocking the fleeing Turkic cavalry to the ground.
Yang Yuanba was shooting outside the Chinese army, and at this time, the fat fish suddenly shouted behind him: "That's Yuwen Taibao!"
Yang Yuanba also saw it from afar, Yuwen Chengdu brandished a phoenix winged gilt boring, galloping in the enemy group, like a tiger into the flock, the Turkic cavalry died next to each other, and died when touched, killing flesh and blood, and there were many corpses around him, and the blood flowed like a river.
But Yang Yuanba's eyes were attracted by another thing, the golden wolf-headed banner of the Turkic Khan, fleeing in the chaotic army not far away, Yuwen Chengdu was coming for it.
The blood of the man's competitive merit boiled in his chest, and Yang Yuanba shouted, "Brothers, follow me to kill Chief Hu and make meritorious service!"
He wielded a long lance, led his men to the Turkic cavalry group to kill, at this time the Turkic cavalry has been like a frightened bird, they lost their armor, fled for their lives in the vast grassland, there is no longer any will to resist, Yang Yuanba horse lance flying, horizontal knife out of the sheath, lance pick knife split, lead his companions to kill a bloody road, Yang Su's eighteen iron guards unconsciously appeared beside them, and they fought side by side, killing the Turkic cavalry heads, corpses all over the field.
Yang Yuanba fought through the encirclement, and had surpassed Yuwen Chengdu, he clearly saw the Datou Khan in golden helmets and golden armor, under the escort of hundreds of ironclad guards, fleeing for his life, but his ironclad cavalry was too densely defended, and if they killed like this, their companions would inevitably be killed and wounded.
Yang Yuanba's mind turned, he hung up the lance, opened his bow to take the arrow, rushed from the oblique stab, pulled the bow and shot an arrow at Datou Khan sixty steps away, his bow was extremely strong, Datou Khan was defenseless, was shot through the back armor by an arrow, blood splashed, Datou screamed, turned over and fell off the horse.
Yang Yuanba was overjoyed, and swooped away with a long lance, "Hu thief, take the head!"
Datou Khan's personal soldiers saw the Khan fall off the horse with an arrow, they were frightened, several pro-soldiers dragged him up and fled, and more than a dozen people roared, killing Yang Yuanba, Yang Yuanba waved his lance to meet the battle, extremely brave, in an instant, he picked six people off the horse, the others were frightened and frightened, turned around and fled, and at this time, the seriously injured Datou Khan had fled far away, and could not catch up.
Yang Yuanba's eyes flashed, the commander of the guards beside Datou Khan rode back on a divine horse warhorse, the fiery red war horse seemed to be the mount of Datou Khan, the commander was in order to take down the golden wolf head banner that fell back to the ground, he had a war horse under his crotch, the horse was extremely fast, a beautiful iron plate bridge, brushed the ground to pick up the banner, and galloped back.
At this time, it was too late for Yang Yuanba to open his bow and arrows, he didn't think twice, waved his arm and threw the lance in his hand hard, and the lance crossed a black arc in the air, penetrating the back of the heart of the Turkic commander, and the commander screamed miserably and was nailed to the ground.
Yang Yuanba took advantage of the horse's momentum to rush, he jumped up, grabbed the flagpole that had not yet landed in the air, and sat firmly on the thousand-long horse, he pulled out the horse lance, looked up to the sky and roared, holding high the golden wolf's head banner of the Turkic Khan and galloping into the wind.
......
In the spring of the nineteenth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, Yang Su, the chief general of the Western Route Army, led 100,000 Tianwu troops to meet the 130,000 troops of the Western Turkic Datou Khan in the north of Wuyuan, Yang Su gave up the traditional method of warfare, and defeated the Western Turkic army of more than 100,000 with cavalry against cavalry, and killed nearly 40,000 enemies before and after, and captured 10,000 alive, the Western Turkic army wailed and cried bitterly, and the Datou Khan was seriously injured in the chaotic army and fled, and the banner of the Golden Wolf Head Khan was captured, which was the first fiasco of the Western Turkic army.
