The yellow sand was fluttering, the horses lowered their heads to drink the turbid water, and the Turks grabbed the plundered Han women, covering the sky and the ground, and humiliated them wantonly.
The cry sounded small and weak in the whistling wind.
Ao Sheshe walked out of the grass, came to Yu Sheshe, and tightened his belt.
"Is there something wrong?"
"Not yet." Yu Sheshe said: "However, Liu Daju, the governor of Suizhou, is very tenacious. Our people fought for three days and three nights, but they still failed to capture Shangxian County. Fortunately, Shuoshui is nearby, so there is no need to worry about water sources.
.”
There is a lot of yellow sand in the Guanbei area. Although Suizhou is slightly better, it is also affected by the climate of Xiazhou and other places. From time to time, yellow sand invades the eyes and nose.
Ao Sheshe said bitterly: "Jie Li, this lunatic, what's the point of asking us to attack Suizhou? It's just to consume our tribal slaves. There are no slaves here, no livestock, and we can't enter Guanzhong.
It’s useless work.”
Yu Sheshe glanced at Ao Sheshe, feeling sarcastic in his heart.
By you?
Still want to get into Guanzhong?
"Bear it, who made Father Khan die unclearly?" Yu Sheshe said gloomily.
The two of them were the sons of the previous Khan, Chuluo Khan. Previously, Ao Sheshe and Liu Wuzhou invaded south, but were captured alive by Li Zhiyun. Yu Sheshe supported Liang Shidu in the north of Guan.
After Jieli came to power, their status took a sharp turn. They were rejected and suppressed by Jieli, and now they can only survive in Shuofang, Guanbei.
"Either he died in an unknown way, or it was Jie Li who did it!" Ao Sheshe yelled angrily, "He was the one who attacked the royal court!"
"That's enough." Yu Sheshe said: "What's the point of talking about this? If we are strong enough, there is no need to talk nonsense."
"You mean, we're just wasting our time here, watching the slaves die so that Jie Li can get his own way?"
"Otherwise?" Yu Sheshe asked back, "Are you going to disobey his order and make a second sudden move?"
Turli Khan Shibobi, their cousin, was the son of Shibi Khan.
Ao Sheshe looked gloomy, snorted coldly, and stopped arguing.
Since he was captured by the Tang people and sent back to the Turks, his prestige has dropped significantly. Even his half-brothers now look down on him.
This made him very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it.
At this moment, dust was flying in front and the earth was shaking violently.
The water bag leaning against Yu Sheshe's hand fell to the ground. He and Ao Sheshe looked at each other and immediately realized something was wrong.
"What's going on?"
The two asked questions at the same time.
At this moment, the Turkic scouts returned.
"Report, Tang Qi is already two hundred steps away!"
"Hurry, mount the horse!" Yu Sheshe shouted loudly.
Turkic soldiers have been riding horses since childhood, and everyone is a soldier, so they quickly gathered, mounted their horses, and prepared for battle.
Ao Sheshe said: "It seems that the Tang people can't sit still anymore. Just in time, let us annihilate them in one fell swoop this time!"
"Be careful and don't be careless." Yu Sheshe's face didn't look good.
The outcome of the war between the two brothers against the Tang Dynasty was actually not high. Liu Wuzhou, who was supported by Ao Sheshe, died and was beheaded by the Tang army. He was sent to the Turkic royal court by the Tang envoy, and Ao Sheshe was even captured alive.
As for him, Master Liang who supported him also lost.
All in all, from the bottom of his heart, he did not dare to underestimate Tang Jun. However, he also wanted to avenge his shame and defeat Tang Jun.
Just as they were having their own thoughts, an overwhelming white riding figure rushed out of the dust.
"What is that?" Ao Sheshe squinted his eyes and looked at it. When he saw it clearly, the hairs all over his body stood up, "Damn it, it's the Tang Army's Iron Man Cavalry!"
The iron cavalry of the Tang Army participated in the war against Shibobi in Hebei, and also just passed by Bingzhou and Jieli. Therefore, the Turks knew that the Tang Army had such a cavalry covered with iron armor.
Ao Sheshi didn't expect that the 'Iron Rider' he had always heard about in the past would actually appear in front of him like this.
"It's really an iron man!" Yu Sheshe's face also looked unhappy.
Without him, it was this cavalry that caused the Turkic warriors enough suffering.
They are covered in iron armor, and even the boots they wear under their feet are all iron boots. They are airtight and have no weaknesses!
What's even more frightening is that the weight of this kind of iron armor is far lighter than the Tang Army's Xuanjia Army heavy armor they captured before. This is not the most frightening thing. What makes people's scalp numb is that the defense of this full-body armor
The strength is not inferior to the heavy armor of the Xuanjia Army.
According to Yu Sheshe's understanding, Jie Li tried every means to obtain this kind of iron armor forging technology from the Tang Dynasty, but all failed and gained nothing.
They only knew that this kind of iron armor was called 'plate armor' within the Tang Army!
The Turks like to call them "Iron Riders".
"One hundred steps!" Ao Sheshe shouted, "Kill!"
"kill!"
In a flash of lightning, the two armies were already fighting each other.
The trampling of horse hooves and the sound of golden swords.
Xu Shiji waved his horse spear and harvested the lives of the sudden riders.
The Turkic cavalry were both capable of riding and shooting. They fired their bows from the left and right on horseback, and arrows were flying all over the sky. At first, Xu Shiji was still waving his horse to block, but soon he discovered that the Turks' bows and arrows could not penetrate such a light board.
Armor's defense.
Even if some arrows missed his face, they would be blocked by the mask.
This shocked him extremely at the defensive power of the plate armor.
The last time he saw such a powerful Jiawei was the Xuanjia Army under the command of the old King of Qin. Unfortunately, in the battle in Yunzhong, the Xuanjia Army was completely wiped out.
This kind of plate armor is not only as defensive as the heavy armor of the Black Armor Army, it is even lighter. It does not require one person and two horses, nor does it require a specially selected strong war horse.
"Prince, how did you do it?"
While he was dripping, he fought bravely to kill the enemy.
Refined iron can only come from hard work. There is a water-powered forging hammer. That piece of plate armor is not made by hard work, so its defensive power is naturally terrible.
Of course, light plate armor is not absolutely invincible. If it encounters a bed crossbow, it will definitely be penetrated to the core.
But then again, even heavy armor is a dead end when facing a bed crossbow. So, in fact, there is not much difference.
In terms of overall performance, of course the light plate armor is better.
Qin Qiong used his horse to kill him, but he couldn't kill him fast enough with his horse sword, so he switched to his Mo Dao.
"wind!"
With a loud roar, Tang Qi shouted "Wind" one after another.
The light plate armored cavalry equipped with Modao killed and wounded nearly a thousand enemies in the first round of head-on fighting with the Turks.
Tang Qi himself only lost dozens of people.
Xu Shiji knocked on his breastplate and laughed heartily three times.
"Come again!"
Tang Knight was in full swing, so naturally he would not let go of such a great opportunity.
Seeing Tang Qi from the opposite side coming to kill them again, Ao Sheshe and Yu Sheshe looked at each other and immediately ordered to escape.
It's not that they are afraid of fighting, it's that they simply can't beat each other!
What equipment does the Turkic cavalry have?
Although he had swords and arrows, the cloth armor on his body compared to the plate armor on the opposite side was simply the difference between iron and bronze.
How to fight this?
What frightens them even more is that the long-handled sword among the Tang Riders can be called the sickle of death.
Every time he swung, either heads flew off or horses' legs were chopped off.
They are just here to beat the autumn wind, not to die.
Seeing the sudden cavalry running away, Tang Qi's desire to pursue him became even more intense.
The red and black battle flags of the Tang Dynasty fluttered in the wind, and the horses' hooves swept away the dust, chasing them all the way north.
Qin Qiong immediately jumped on his horse. His horse was a Jinshan horse, which was very fast. If he caught up with someone, Mo Dao would chop him down and his head would fly away.
No matter how fearless the Turks are, they will still be trembling when they see Qin Qiong's evil spirit and bloody energy.
Seeing that Qin Qiong was about to catch up with him, Ao Sheshe and Yu Sheshe looked at each other, turned their horses, and went to intercept him.
