"Trapped in a horse trap? Zhao Jun! How come Zhao Jun is here?" Arruda looked at his own soldiers who were wailing and screaming, and his eyes suddenly became blank.
"Come here, kill all the spies who were in charge of front-line intelligence! A bunch of bastards, Zhao Jun set up an ambush again, and you actually reported to the general that there was nothing unusual. Damn it! Damn it!" Both sides of Arruda turned red and shouted sternly.
Yes, the horse traps were what tripped the advancing Turkic cavalry horses. The Turkic cavalry who followed also suffered the same fate. On this seemingly flat grassland, there were actually horse traps scattered all over the place.
The rushing Turks
The cavalry was unprepared and ran into the horse trap. Suddenly, everyone fell on their backs. Of course, the thousands of archers could not be idle. They had already regarded the chaotic enemy cavalry as a living target for practicing their shooting skills.
Easy shot...
"Give the order, advance, stop advancing, respond with mounted fire!"
"Agil, lead your men to kill the hill from both sides. You must clear the ambushes on both sides for my general."
However, after Aluda's military order was issued, the Zhao troops on both sides immediately disappeared and evacuated. The archers in the front also evacuated backwards after shooting the rain of arrows in their hands, leaving corpses on the ground.
"Report to the general, the enemy troops have evacuated!"
"Pass my general's order to pass through this place quickly. The vanguard will spread out and use a few cavalry as scout horses to check whether there are any horse traps on the ground." Arruda ordered with a livid face.
When we were about to reach Dalinggou, suddenly soldiers from the vanguard came to report that there was a camp of Zhao troops stationed at the exit in front of Dalinggou.
Aruda was startled and thought: When will the Zhao army set up camp here?
"How many people are there?"
"General Qi, there are more than a thousand people."
"The rest of the people? Do they want to stop my general from advancing? Pass my order to my general to rush over quickly. If the Zhao army does not go out to fight, ignore it. If they want to block the car with their arms, then quickly annihilate them."
This Dagouling is a flat land that can accommodate thousands of horses galloping. Although the end is a little narrow, it is not an extremely dangerous place. When the Turkic army arrived at the exit, the Zhao army had already formed a formation to stop the Turkic army.
The way of the army. This Zhao army, all wearing heavy armor and hooded helmets, stood at the exit of Damagou. There were about 400 people in the front row, lined up in front of the formation.
"Heavy armored infantry?" Arruda frowned. Although the other party's soldiers restrained his own cavalry, he did not feel afraid. After all, his own party had more than 10,000 people and the other party only had more than 1,000 people. With such a small force,
Do you want to stop my cavalry?
"Rush over and ignore them!"
The commander gave the order, and the Turkic knights immediately let out sharp howls and swarmed forward, and the bows and arrows in the knights' hands immediately came into effect.
Sharp arrows flew towards the Zhao army. However, the Zhao army did not panic. They saw the people in the front row suddenly retreating, and the people in the back row immediately took a step forward. The formation was inadvertently changed. Everyone held a
The giant shield, which was as tall as a person, shouted in unison, and smashed the shield to the ground. The edge of the shield was sharp and submerged into the soil. In an instant, a row of solid shield walls suddenly appeared.
Immediately afterwards, sharp spears were inserted from the holes in the upper part of the shield, forming a stable triangle with the shield. Rows of sharp spikes immediately appeared on the surface of the shield. These spikes, naturally
It is the tip of the spear. As long as the enemy hits it, he will only survive with one breath at most. The soldiers put their shoulders behind the big shield to stabilize the big shield so that it can block the enemy cavalry. Of course,
They are also responsible for killing the cavalry on the war horses.
It is precisely because of this that these heavy armored soldiers have become the most difficult branch to choose. Not only do they require martial arts, but also physical and strength requirements are also very important. The shield is equipped with a long sword specially made by the general.
Qingyi is five feet long, extremely sharp, weighs twenty-five kilograms, and has extremely lethal power. It cannot be used by those with strong martial arts skills and strong physiques.
Seeing that there was still a distance of 150 steps, Zhao Jun's archers behind the shield began to fight back. Thousands of archers in several rows all used hard bows of about three stones. The arrows were modified, with improved health tanks and penetrating power.
Very powerful.
Among the Turkic cavalry who charged at the front, three to four hundred people fell instantly in one round. The horses neighed, the knights wailed, and the horses' hooves trampled over the wounded. The entire formation could not help but stagnate. A distance of 150 steps.
, hundreds of people fell. The dead, the blood, and the whine of the horses, instead of stopping the Turkic cavalry from advancing, made them even more ferocious.
There is no point in fighting without death. Although companions kept falling off their horses, the Turkic cavalry did not stop there. Seeing that they were approaching thirty steps, all the archers of the Zhao army suddenly put down their hard bows. They picked up their crossbows from the ground and fired at them.
Taking a step forward, the crossbow bolts flew out from the gap in the shield.
The piercing buzzing crossbow bolt, with its huge penetrating power, penetrated into the bodies of the horses and knights, triggering a series of shrill screams. Blood spattered and refracted strangely brightly in the sunlight. The weeds on the roadside.
It was dyed red instantly.
"Keep shooting, take turns... don't stop!"
Rows of archers instantly turned into crossbowmen. After one round of shooting, the second row of crossbowmen followed.
Although the distance was only thirty steps, the Turkic cavalry suffered heavy losses. But if they wanted to pass here, they had to break through this line of defense. Some cavalry who had escaped the crossbow bolts rushed forward, but they could not break through the shield composed of this large shield.
Wall, that one foot on the shield
The long thorn immediately penetrated the body of the war horse, triggering screams. Many cavalry jumped into the air as the war horse collided with the giant shield, and flew down behind the shield in an instant. But then, he
He was stabbed to death by Zhao Jun.
Arruda in the rear was a little confused... He didn't know what to do. He was confused, but the cavalry under his command were not confused. They continued to launch ferocious attacks to the front.
The iron shield was constantly shaking back and forth. Spears were protruded from the gaps between the shots. The spears were stabbed or swept across, leaving corpses one after another in front of the shield wall. They can no longer be counted.
How many people died in front of the shield wall? In short, a steady stream of cavalry charged forward, all crowded on the river, making the originally spacious place suddenly become very crowded.
Facing rounds of cavalry attacks, Zhao Jun retreated slowly but regularly. Every time he took a step back, dozens or hundreds of corpses fell into a pool of blood. As time went by, Ah
Aruda's men gradually gained the advantage. Because of this, Aruda roared and ordered his soldiers to charge forward.
"General Zhang, it's almost over. The Turkic army has been attracted by us. It's time for Captain Nangong and others to rush out." At the mouth of the valley, Captain Tang Niu said to the first town deputy general Zhang Ju.
Zhang Ju looked at the enemy troops on the opposite side, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It's almost time, give orders to Nangong Hao and the others!"
"Woooooooo..."
Suddenly, a blast of horns came from the Zhao army's formation.
Immediately afterwards, from the rear of the valley, that is, from the side and rear of the Turkic army, there was a sudden response from the sound of horns.
"Huh? What's going on? Behind us..." The Turkic forward general Arruda was suddenly startled. When he heard the Zhao Jun blowing the horn in front, he felt a little bit bad. But the response of the horn behind him was...
It gave him chills all over.
"Report...general...something bad has happened! Behind our army, two cavalrymen under the banner of Zhao Army suddenly shot out. At this moment, they are rushing towards our rear army formation." At this moment, a knight hurried forward.
Come and report.
"Damn it, Zhao Jun is ambushing you behind!" the Turkic general Arruda suddenly exclaimed.
In an instant, with the sound of "rumbling", two cavalry troops came out from behind and entered the formation of the Turkic army from the rear. The leading general, holding a hundred-refined steel gun, shouted fiercely.
, like cutting through the waves, he came towards the general Arruda who stood under the banner and killed him.
The Turkic cavalry in front were also startled by this sudden attack. They didn't know what happened behind them. Before they could react, they saw the shield hand suddenly draw out his sword and overturned the shield. All the archers also
Holding a round shield and a horizontal sword, he rushed towards the cavalry formation.
However, the long sword was flashing with cold light. The infantry in front swung the long sword and let out earth-shattering shouts, which actually forced the Turkic cavalry to retreat continuously. The Turkic cavalry's scimitars and arrows slashed at Zhao Jun's heavy armor.
On the ground, only a "bang bang" sound and some white traces were left, which could not cause any damage to these soldiers of Zhao who were wearing heavy armor.
Like a team of bulldozers rushing through the chaos, the cold light flashed, and puffs of hot blood splashed into the air, just like flowers blooming in the spring breeze. The ground had already become muddy because it was soaked with blood...
Seeing that the situation was not good, Arruda, who was in the middle army, was about to collect his troops and form a formation to fight again. This was also a big mistake he made. From the beginning, the entire army was in a hurry to rush out of the valley.
They were unable to form a cavalry formation, so when they encountered a sudden attack, everything was in chaos.
There was chaos in the front, and it was even worse behind. The Turkic army was all concentrated together, and there was no speed at all. What's more, the direction of the Zhao army's sneak attack was from behind him?
"Quickly... quickly change direction and fight from behind!" The voices of Turkic officers came and went, but they were unable to cope with the situation in front of them. The attacking Zhao cavalry consisted of Zhao soldiers and warriors from nine tribes. But they were all wearing Zhao
The military uniforms carry the red flaming unicorn flag. The red helmets and tassels tell all enemies that they are sergeants of Zhao. One after another, the red color is like a red wave, overwhelming...
"You are thinking of fighting now? It's too late!" Nangong Hao took the lead, looking at the panicked Turkic cavalry, he sneered secretly.
Let the enemy slow down and relax at Weizi Lake. Set up an ambush at the entrance of the valley to provoke these Turkic cavalry. Set up an ambush at the exit to induce all enemy troops to move forward and fall into the valley. Finally, attack from both front and rear.
Completely swallow up this Turkic army's forward army.
Nangong Hao looked around, raised his hand, and said solemnly, "Brothers, put away your swords and prepare to throw spears! Let these Turkic enemy troops see how powerful I, Zhao, am in throwing spears!"
"Qiang..."
The continuous sound of iron tools grinding was heard. Among the two sneak attack armies, more than a thousand cavalrymen in front sheathed their horizontal knives. Each of them drew a sharp throwing spear from the back of the saddle and held it in his hand.
The remaining sharp spears cast a dazzling cold light against the setting sun, like more than a thousand cruel hungry wolves, opening their bloody mouths to reveal their sharp and ferocious fangs.
"rush……"
General Nangong Hao threw his spear forward, and more than a thousand Zhao cavalrymen rode forward to cover up the enemy troops in front. Followed by them were 3,099 cavalrymen. The Turkic cavalrymen on the opposite side were also reluctant to do so.
The key is to turn the horse's head and come forward to fight.
The two groups of cavalry approached quickly, and a cruel murderous intent ignited in Nangong Hao's eyes. In an instant, Nangong Hao's loud and sad roar echoed through the sky.
"Projection..." Nangong Hao ordered.
"Instigating and instigating..."
In an instant, there was a continuous sound of breaking through the air, and more than a thousand sharp spears flew out of the Zhao cavalry formation, drawing blurry and weird curves in the air. They intertwined into a cold spear array,
In an instant, it flew over the heads of the Turkic cavalry, and finally fell down with the coldness of death...
"ah……"
Why did the centurion use his scimitar to block one of the spears, but the second spear followed closely and pierced into his chest. The sharp three-edged spear blade easily cut open the centurion's muscle tissue and
The bones pierced the fragile body.
"Uh-huh..."
A Turkic cavalryman was stabbed by two lances at the same time. He was carried up by the whistling lances and flew away from the horse. Finally, he landed on the ground a few meters behind. Before he could land completely, the cavalrymen behind him came like a tide, and he was helpless.
Those who blocked him were trampled over him, and his poor head was trampled to pieces before he could even struggle. His bloody body twitched twice and then fell silent, making no sound again...
"Puff puff puff..."
"ah……"
In an instant, the sound of sharp weapons slicing flesh and blood and screams intertwined together. More than a thousand volleying spears landed on the ground and caused tragic damage to the cavalry behind the Turkic army. In an instant, more than five or six hundred cavalry were flipped from their horses.
When he fell from the top, he was either trampled to pieces by his companions, or his neck and leg bones were broken, completely losing his fighting power.
"Draw your sword and fight..."
Nangong Hao let out a long howl, replaced his spear with his left hand, raised it high above his head, stepped on the stirrups with both feet and stood upright from the horse. Suddenly, the two horses crossed each other, and the sharp spear fired like cold stars, killing several people in an instant.
A Turkic cavalryman.
"bite……"
"when……
"puff……"
"Well……"
The sound of weapons clashing, bones breaking, and screams intertwined once again. The two cavalry troops collided fiercely like two torrents, and a bright bloody flower suddenly appeared. The two cavalry troops merged and separated again.
As they passed by, hundreds of corpses were already lying on the ground, and nearly a hundred ownerless war horses neighed sadly and fled into the distance in terror.
At the same time, at the exit of the valley, more than a thousand cavalry rushed out, and together with the infantry, they charged towards the front line of the Turkic cavalry.
The Zhao army attacked from front to back and charged towards the Chinese army.
Nangong Hao took the lead and pointed directly at the enemy commander's flag. When the Turkic cavalry panicked, he rushed under the Chinese commander's flag.
With a little thrust of his spear, Nangong Hao stabbed Arruda fiercely, shouting loudly: "Thief chief, take your life!"
Arruda, who was already in a panic, had no time to think about reorganizing his troops and fought with Nangong Hao with his sword. But in this way, the Turkic army, which had lost its command, became even more chaotic.
"Boom..." Tang Niu, who was charging from the front, cut off the Chinese army's commander's flag with his sword and shouted to Nangong Hao: "Brother Nangong, Old Tang is here to help you!"
Before Tang Niu could take action, Aluda, who had already been killed by Nangong Hao, was frightened by Tang Niu and was knocked off his horse by Nangong Hao.
"Brother Nangong, the first achievement is yours..." Tang Niu laughed.
"There are still so many Turkic cavalry who have not surrendered! Kill them!" Nangong Hao said with a happy face.
After the war lasted for more than an hour, it stopped. The entire valley became a cemetery. The Turkic army suffered countless casualties. About 4,000 people surrendered alive. Only 200 people escaped. It can be said that the vanguard of the Turkic army,
Basically the entire army was wiped out.
"General Zhang, how to deal with these corpses?"
"My lord has an order, all Turkic enemy troops will be led by the enemy and cast into the capital!"
As a result, more than 7000 to 8000 Turkic troops were killed. Under the command of the general Zhang Ju, the surrendered prisoners were ordered to build terrifying giant temples outside the mouth of the valley.
Nangong Hao looked at the dozen or so Beijing temples, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and said in a deep voice: "After this battle, we will definitely be able to frighten the Turkic army."
Zhang Ju said quietly: "It is true to scare the Turks, but it may not deter the Turks from going to war. If you don't beat them until they hurt, they will be unable to stand up. They don't know fear."
Nangong Hao smiled and said in a deep voice: "If you don't know fear, then beat them until they are afraid, beat them until their race is exterminated! Look at the soldiers of these nine tribes, haven't they surrendered obediently? They have already been defeated by our power.
Overwhelmed, they already know how powerful we are and are afraid that everything they have will be destroyed by us."
"Reporting to the general, our army lost more than 2,500 people in this battle. 800 of them were sergeants of our army, and the remaining 1,700 people were nine cavalrymen. In addition, we captured 6,000 war horses this time.
More than three hundred horses."
"Collect the bodies of our brothers, collect the spoils of war, and return to the army!"
Landu City, General Mansion.
"Okay! Well done! In this battle, the Turkic army lost fifteen thousand people, which was enough to make them feel distressed for a while." In the hall of the General's Mansion, all the generals laughed heartily.
"However, we will have a full-scale battle with the Turkic army next. Generals and soldiers, please don't be careless, and don't underestimate the Turkic army because of this victory. Don't forget, they are the enemy who have repeatedly invaded the border." Zhao
Xun said in a deep voice.
"Of course, we will not be afraid of them now. Today's victory shows that the days of being bullied by the Turkic cavalry are gone forever. From now on, we should change the situation on the border. With us
