Chapter 7: Capture the Flag
The Turks' horses began to pick up speed, and the horses' hooves splashed the snow away, like a rain of arrows in a blizzard.
Dozens of Turkic cavalry fell from their horses with arrows, although most of the Turks who fell from their horses were only injured and not killed, but the horses rushing behind could not be restrained at all, and the sound of horses' hooves fell like raindrops, and soon the screams stopped abruptly.
Falling off a high-speed galloping horse, a solo rider may still be alive. However, the cavalry of the brigade galloped on horseback, and falling from the horse meant death, either falling to death, or being trampled into pulp by the hooves of the horses behind.
Bu Lugen had the heart to swallow Luo Shixin at this time, he had a brute force, but he didn't use martial arts at all. Luo Shixin is not entangled with it at all, like a dragonfly dotting water, touching and leaving. It is to use the crossbow machine to shoot at a long range, connect the distance, and hang the Turks to fight.
Bulugen's eyes began to turn red, like a wounded beast, and let out a roar.
"Kill all the Donnus!"
"Kill all the Donnus!"
Zhaowu Lieutenant Zhang Shigui is the only lieutenant of the Second Mansion who has been promoted but not promoted. Relatively speaking, Zhang Shigui was the only one who did not have a backstage among the four lieutenants of the original Xun Er Mansion. It is also reasonable that he was not promoted. Although the imperial court did not promote Zhang Shigui, Chen Ying still asked Zhang Shigui to act as Luo Shixin's deputy and lead the Yue cavalry army.
"The Turks are in a hurry!"
Zhang Shigui rubbed his cheeks, which were hurt by the snow particles, and watched hundreds of Turkic cavalry move forward, these Turkic cavalry did not care about horsepower at all, and if they sprinted in this way, the war horse would probably run away.
"Where is this?" Luo Shixin laughed loudly: "Continue to retreat and take them in circles!" ”
Luo Shixin led the cavalry of the Vietnamese cavalry to run in front, while the Turkic cavalry pursued desperately in the rear.
Chen Ying, who is accustomed to considering problems under the conditions of modern military thinking, knows very well that on the battlefield of later generations, discovery means annihilation. So, he put a lot of money into disguise. Luo Shixin's department only had abundant horsepower and took the Turks in circles, in fact, because Chen Ying played a magic trick on them.
The sprinting physical fitness of the war horse is actually only about two quarters of an hour, and after this time, the high-speed galloping war horse is overdrawing its physical strength. Chen Ying divided the Vietnamese cavalry into two, one part hid in the valley of the Linshui River, about ten miles away from Hongshan Fort, and wrapped the horses and soldiers with white cloth. You can't find it unless you look closely.
When Luo Shixin led the Turks to the Linshui River Valley, the Turks behind only saw Luo Shixin's troops rushing towards the Linshui River Valley. However, they didn't know that the Tang cavalry that came out from the other direction of the Linshui River Valley had actually been replaced by another wave of cavalry. Those war horses and physical Tang cavalry that were about to run out of horsepower stayed in the Linshui River Valley to rest.
When this wave of cavalry was about to run out again, Luo Shixin asked these cavalry to rush into the river valley, and at the same time quickly put on white cloth camouflage. The other part of the cavalry, which had just rested, continued to take the Turkic cavalry in circles.
This game of cavalry chase, like a cat and mouse, was played for nearly an hour, and the Turks were knocked out hundreds of people as if they had been knocked out of kraft candy.
Hundreds of people were killed and wounded, but they didn't even catch the enemy's hair, which made Bu Lugen and the others vomit blood in frustration.
Gradually, Bu Lugen felt a little wrong, and the war horse he stepped on was a good horse in a thousand, with the sweat and blood of the next generation. Not only is the sprint extremely strong, but the endurance is quite good. But at this time, the red horse named Red Tiger was so tired that it was like a bath in the water.
However, the opposing cavalry still maintained sufficient physical strength, which made Bu Lugen feel incredible. You must know that although there are many Turkic horses and many good horses, there are definitely not a hundred war horses like him, a red tiger. BMW Liangju is not a cabbage, you can find it anywhere.
To say that Datang can find ten or eight war horses, which are more powerful than his Red Tiger, he absolutely believes it. But to say that the Tang army actually took out hundreds of such a miraculous war horse at once, and he didn't believe it, even Dawan Kingdom couldn't take out thousands of sweat and blood horses at one time.
"Stop, stop, stop chasing!"
If they continue to run like this, they will have to run away, although it is said that the war horses that run away can no longer be used as war horses, and they can also be used as horses, but if they lose more than 2,000 war horses at one time, even the Turks, who are famous for their horses, will not be able to bear it. Thinking of this, Bu Lugen immediately ordered to stop the pursuit.
Seeing that the Turks behind him were no longer pursuing, Luo Shixin smiled slightly: "I don't want to fight now, it's too late!" ”
Luo Shixin, who held the absolute initiative on the battlefield, slowly pressed the Turks to retreat with weak troops.
So there was a very strange scene on the battlefield, the cavalry of the Tang Army, which was less than one-third of the opponent's number, chased the Turks.
At this time, Bu Lugen was furious.
He was originally a person who was willing to give in easily, but now that his horsepower is exhausted, fighting hard is almost like sending him to death. There is a way, a wrong step, a wrong step. Under the carelessness of the enemy, Bu Lugen had lost the first hand, and could only silently pray for the reinforcements of Liversher to arrive on the battlefield quickly.
Unconsciously, Bu Lugen led his troops to be pressed by Luo Shixin to the vicinity of the Thin Bone Law Canal opposite the beacon tower of Hongshan Fort.
At this time, in the originally lonely and silent thin bone law canal, Duan Zhi, who had eaten and drunk and slept beautifully, woke up slowly.
More than 1,200 Tang soldiers got out of their down sleeping bags and quietly wound the crossbow machine.
Duan Zhigan narrowed his eyes and looked at the more and more Turkic cavalry, who did not notice the approach of death in the slightest.
"Three hundred steps!"
"Two hundred steps!"
"One hundred steps!"
"Eighty steps!"
"Fifty steps!"
Duan Zhigan suddenly got up and shouted: "The top five left, press one finger, control!" ”
"Woohoo!"
The sound of dense arrows breaking through the air sounded, and Bu Lugen didn't expect that the Tang soldiers would actually touch them under their noses.
The distance of fifty paces is almost the same as putting an arrow on the head for a crossbow machine. Even with your eyes closed, you can shoot at the target.
The crossbow arrows were shot flat, tearing through the armor and leather robes of the Turks effortlessly, and at least a hundred Turkic cavalry could almost be seen instantly enveloped by the rain of arrows.
Blood splattered from the backs and hips of the Turks. The Turkic cavalry who had only come to shoot the war horse neighed loudly, and the Turkic cavalry who had fallen into the snow was splashed with a cloud of snow.
The chrysanthemum of a Turkic cavalry horse was shot by a crossbow arrow, and the furious horse almost rose up on all four hooves, and the knight on horseback was instantly thrown down, and the hooves of the horse, which were large in the bowl, coincidentally stepped on his inner thigh. The screams like killing pigs sounded instantly.
The sudden attack of Duan Zhigan's department made the Turkic formation chaotic, but the scattered formation only lasted no more than three rounds of arrow rain attacks, and there was no need to command Bu Lugen at all, and the Turkic cavalry quickly and skillfully divided into two teams to avoid, and the formation gradually recovered.
Zhang Shigui saw this scene and took a breath of cool air.
This is definitely an elite cavalry, I'm afraid that if you don't get Duan Zhigan, not only will you not take advantage of it, but you will suffer.
Luo Shixin hurriedly said: "Press it!" ”
As he spoke, Luo Shixin rode his horse and galloped towards the general flag where Bu Lugen was.
What Luo Shixin is best at, in fact, is one move - to capture the flag!
