Chapter 33: The Killing Begins (Three Watches)
In the tent of the fine seal Bulai, Yeli bald looked at the corpse of the scout in front of him, who had gradually become cold, and said with an indignant face: "I didn't have time to say a word, this death is too worthless!" ”
Xi Feng Bu Lai smiled coldly and said, "This corpse has actually told a lot of secrets!" ”
Yeli bald hair said with a puzzled expression: "How can the corpse speak?" ”
The fine seal Bulai had an unfathomable expression, and he didn't explain to the wild bald hair. Tuoba Yun reached out and pulled out the arrow that appeared on the back of a corpse and said, "What kind of arrow is this?" ”
Yeli bald said inexplicably: "Isn't it a sheep's head arrow?" ”
The shape of the arrowhead varies greatly depending on its purpose. Ancient hunting arrows generally had a wide blade, which could cause large cutting wounds to animals, causing them to bleed profusely, so that even if they could not kill the animals at the time, they would also bleed too much to death.
Comparatively speaking, the arrowhead used by the Turks resembles a crescent moon. As long as it hits the target, it can also cause a staggering cut wound. At the same time, this kind of arrow is heavy and blunt, and its armor-piercing ability is extremely weak, and the lethality is very terrifying for ordinary people or targets without armor. That is, the use of hunting arrows is very effective when slaughtering civilians and unarmored targets. This is also the time when Xianbei, Turkic, Mongol, including the Manchu Qing Dynasty broke through, which would cause a horrific massacre.
The sheep's head arrow is a three-edged arrow, and at the moment it hits the target, the sharp edge of the edge will form a cutting force, and the arrow can penetrate the armor and reach the human body. In actual combat, the Qin army found that winged arrows had fierce barbs, but the wing surface was easily affected by the wind, which was easy to make the arrows deviate from the target. Therefore, the Qin army made a technical innovation to it, and this kind of arrow was eliminated from the wing surface, and it became a three-edged arrow without wings that was basically shaped later. The shooting accuracy is greatly improved. It is also the origin of the sheep's head arrow.
Of course, sheep's head arrows are high-precision, high-armor-piercing war arrows, and of course they cost a lot of money. Yeli bald hair looked at it for a long time, and was even more confused: "This is nothing!" ”
Tuoba Yun coughed and said: "This person was hit by fifteen arrows, seven of which fell off on their own, and the other eight arrows all entered the flesh for less than three points, and only one arrow entered the flesh by one inch, what does this mean?" ”
"What doesn't that mean?"
The fine seal Bulai interrupted the pointless argument between Tuoba Yoo and Nori Baldness. "The scout has no injuries in the other parts of the arrow, which shows that the archers are very clever in archery, and they use such sharp arrows, but they don't penetrate the flesh, which means that when shooting arrows, the distance between the two sides is very far, and it may exceed one hundred or one hundred and fifty steps!" ”
Yidimi looked at the fine seal and said worriedly: "It seems that the Tang army still has the strength to fight?" ”
The fine seal Bulai sneered: "The outside is real, but the inside must be false." The Tang began to fire arrows from a long distance, which shows that they lacked the courage to fight in close combat. Soldiers have no will to fight, this is a taboo for soldiers. It turned out that it was not certain that Chen Ying had died or been seriously injured, and it seemed that even if Chen Ying was not dead, it was almost there. ”
At this moment, another scout came in and said, "Teller, the Tang people suddenly appeared at the crossing of the Uga River, and more than 2,000 men and horses began to expel unrelated people......"
"The Tang people want to run away, they will definitely retreat tonight." In the dark night, the Tang people can't see things (referring to the Han soldiers in the era of scarcity of materials, generally suffering from night blindness), the soldiers can't see the road clearly, they must be panicked, the back always want to go to the front, the front wants to go faster, you chase me, I chase you, it doesn't take two hours, the whole army will be in chaos. ”
With a wave of his hand, he roared with a serious face: "Blow the trumpet and gather the generals." ”
Whining...... The majestic and vigorous horn battle horn sounded, and all the generals entered the tent one after another, stood in line, and grabbed a command arrow with a loud bang, and threw it out.
Xifeng Bulai shouted: "Mo He set up Khan Ashina to march into Hedong, and the generals under the command of Pingyang Khan occupied Huzhou, and now Li Yuan Lao'er even sent out his own guards, and this Tang army on the opposite side is the last capable soldier in the hands of the Li family, as long as they are defeated, the Guanzhong Plain of the fertile field is ours, and the various departments ——。 ”
All the generals stepped forward in unison, and the nail leaves rattled and rattled.
Xifeng Bulai shouted in a deep voice: "All jurisdictional departments, divide and attack, raise fire to attack, whether it is a head-on pursuit or a roundabout outflank, they must take the big road, and never leave an opportunity for the Tang army to take advantage of." ”
When the generals heard this, their eyes showed a green light like a hungry wolf, and they roared excitedly: "Oh! ”
The face of the fine seal Bulai showed a flush of excitement: "This is a pursuit battle, Bentler's strategy is only three words - fast!" Fast! Fast! ”
The generals clasped their fists and said, "Obey!" ”
In a short time, more than 10,000 party cavalry swarmed out, and these party cavalry held torches high, shouted and lined up and began to gallop wildly. The faces of the officers and soldiers of the party were filled with excitement, as if they were not going to fight, but to harvest.
Under the guard of Yeli's bald hair, Tuoba Yu and party generals, the cavalry and horses marched forward mightily.
The cavalry of the party army swarmed like a tide, and the small horses on the ground jumped up like a dance.
……
The north branch is the old road of the northern branch of the Yellow River. Nature's creations are amazing. This abandoned valley of the Yellow River was diverted again after 600 years, when the Wolf Mountain Valley formed a huge dammed lake. This is Wuliangsuhai, one of China's eight major freshwater lakes.
Of course, at this time, Wuliang Suhai did not even have a shadow, just a wide and huge valley. At this time, in the valley of Ruoda, the fifth and sixth of the left army of the Lingwu army, the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth folds of the Lingwu right army and the sixth fold of the Dingyuan army were all ambushed in this valley of more than 20 miles.
Chen Ying sat on the ground with his back against a big tree. Wearing armor and helmets to the side, he drooped his head and fell asleep.
Beside Chen Ying was Li Daozhen, the county lord of Baicheng dressed as a woman. Because Li Daozong had not recovered from his injuries, he was beaten up by the angry Lingwu soldiers, and although his life was not in danger, he was unable to engage in strenuous exercise. Li Daozhen volunteered and stayed behind to replace Chen Ying as a temporary military envoy.
In fact, what is Lee Do-jeong's mind. How could Li Daozong not know? has returned to Lingzhou to prepare to organize Lingwu Eighteen Towns and Township Yong, but Li Daozhen insisted on staying by Chen Ying's side.
Although Li Daozhen knew that he was the unspeakably expensive county lord of Baicheng in the mouth of others. But she herself knows that she is a big trouble in the eyes of others. Although Li Daozhen knew that labeling Chen Ying was a bit of a self-surrendering identity, she couldn't do it herself. Li Daozhen has seen too many princes and nobles who are alienated and despised from the heart, but in Chen Ying's eyes, there has never been that alienation and disgust.
Li Daozhen absolutely didn't know that Chen Ying lived in that era. Yin and yang have been reversed. Men are becoming less and less statused, and women are fierce. It's just pediatrics who are so arrogant like Lee Do-jung.
Li Daozhen had a cup of tea in front of her, and when she saw the ripples in the tea, Li Daozhen sighed, she knew that the killing had begun.
"General, the party is really chasing after you!"
