Chapter 12 takes a long-term view
Fortunately, the soldiers of the Tang Army had already prepared, and there was no need to give an order, so the Tang soldiers guarding under the corpse wall squatted down neatly close to the corpse wall.
The dense arrows landed on the smooth corpse wall and were bounced away with a clang.
At the same time, the Tang soldiers who were squatting down took the opportunity to tie up their arrows. Just as the second wave of arrows of the Turks fell, a rain of arrows thrown from behind the corpse wall shot a large number of high-spirited Turks.
When he saw this scene, he immediately shouted: "Warriors, rush forward and kill all the Donnu!" ”
Although the Turkic warriors suffered more than 100 casualties, they were not frightened, and the cavalry screamed. Although the corpse wall was only more than four feet high, it was only twenty paces away, and it was still not so easy to jump over.
The Turkic cavalry turned their horses' heads one after another, retreated more than 200 paces, and then turned around and launched a fierce charge towards the corpse wall. More than 2,000 Turkic cavalry galloped like a tide.
At this time, the three or four hundred Tang soldiers guarding behind the corpse wall ran towards the Red Mountain Fort with panicked expressions.
Looking at this scene, instead of being surprised, he thought that this was the performance that a real Han person should be. Looking at the retreating figure of the Tang soldiers, he shouted: "Warriors, rush up and cut off the head of the Don slave!" ”
However, Bu Lugen, who had suffered a big loss from the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army, felt that something was wrong, although the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army behaved very embarrassed, but the formation was condensed but not dispersed, and it did not look like a rout at all.
Before Bulgugen could warn Philoshim, the Turkic cavalry had already begun to leap onto the corpse wall.
However, before the Turks who could cross the corpse wall shouted loudly, the terrible screams rang out one after another. It turned out that the mutilated blades collected by the Tang army from the war horses were densely inserted behind the corpse wall, and due to the shelter of the corpse wall, the Turks outside did not see the gun forest behind the corpse wall at all.
The spear blades, frozen in hot water, resemble a forest fixed there. The Turks who flew over the corpse wall couldn't control it at all, so they could only hit the blade of the gun with their eyes open.
"Poof...... Poof......"
The sharp blade of the spear pierced the Turkic cavalry horses without delay, and by the way, they were strung together on horseback.
"It's not good, there's a trap!"
The Turkic cavalry in mid-air shouted in fear. It's a pity that his cry has long been muffled by the terrible screams and the mournful screams of the war horses.
The spear fixed to the snow pierced the heart and head, it was really the best relief to die without even snorting, and to die directly. However, there are still many Turks who have been stabbed by blades in non-vital parts such as limbs, and the severe pain makes these Turks let out screams like killing pigs.
The soldiers of the Tang Army, who had already approached the wall of Hongshan Fort, suddenly turned around at this time, revealing a hideous face. The soldiers of the Tang Army, armed with guns and spears, marched towards the Turkic cavalry who were struggling and screaming in the forest of guns. Launching an attack, the spears in the hands of the Tang soldiers flew up and down, wantonly reaping the lives of the Turks.
Xian Yuliang is not a Turkic, he was originally a Xianbei person who surrendered to the Turks, and gradually became a general. The Turks followed the example of the Xianbei people, and used ten tents and hundreds of ditches as canals, and set up canals to be handsome. Ten canals, hundreds of tents, and thousands of subordinates are governors, and governors are set up. Ten governors and thousands of tents are set up, which can manage the army and people of Wanluo and become the leader of a tribe. However, this position was generally hereditary by the Turkic nobility.
Xian Yuliang can become the general of the Turks as a Xianbei person, in fact, he has achieved the pinnacle of the military ministers of the Turkic Khanate. Of course, Xian Yuliang also has outstanding points, he can catch up with startling horses on foot, and he can push down strong cattle with his arms, and he is a famous warrior of the Turkic Khanate.
Xian Yuliang watched himself scream one after another for hundreds of episodes, and finally gave the order to stop the attack. Xian Yuliang's reaction was not fast, however, the brave and fearless Turks rushed too fast, and more than six or seven hundred horsemen had already crossed the corpse wall.
The Turks who rushed through the wall of corpses were already doomed. Most of them were killed and wounded by the dense guns and spears, and the Tang infantry who rushed up unceremoniously harvested the heads. The heads of these six or seven hundred Turks were basically well preserved, which made the Tang soldiers shout with excitement.
In the first battle, more than 600 Turkic warriors were killed, and more than half of the losses were lost, which made Liverford vomit blood in anger.
These hateful Tang people don't dare to fight with the Great Turkic warriors with real swords and guns, so they make these ghost ideas!
"Turkic warriors, kill all the Tang slaves, let's enter the customs, there are inexhaustible wealth in the pass, and there are beautiful Han women. After breaking the barrier, I will allow you to wash the city for three days! ”
The Turks, stimulated by the great reward, seemed to forget about their defeat and shouted excitedly, preparing to launch a second attack.
If the Turks really attacked, I am afraid that the Tang army would have no way to resist. You know, those fixed spears and spears were either broken, or destroyed by the Turks with human and horse lives, and now although there are still some spears behind the corpse wall, they can only kill and wound three or four hundred Turks, for almost ten thousand Turkic troops, the loss of a few hundred people, they can afford to lose.
However, Bu Lugen and Xian Yuliang both knelt in front of Liversh.
"Ye Hu, you can't attack!"
"The Han people are too despicable, attacking like this, and they are rushing at them!"
"Dog minion, get out of here!" Furious, he raised his whip and whipped it towards Bulugen's head, which shrank in fright.
"Smack!" With a whip, he was very satisfied when he saw that Bu Lugen had retreated, but when he saw that Xian Yuliang was still kneeling in front of his horse, he roared, "Really, Ben Ye Hu didn't dare to kill you?" ”
"Don't dare!" Xian Yuliang stiffened his head and said: "Ye Hu's overall situation is important!" ”
Hearing this, Philfischer fell silent. In fact, the powerful Turks are not monolithic, but mixed with layers of contradictions and infighting. In fact, some people in later generations have proposed that the Han people are the best at infighting in the world.
This statement is unfair.
In fact, all peoples are good at infighting. For example, the Turks, without Turkic infighting, in fact, the Tang Dynasty could not have expelled the Turks to the shores of the Red Sea to eat sand, and without the Mongol infighting, the Mongols would not have been short-lived. The Mongols swept the world with no more than 100,000 casualties, but they fought and killed more than a million people.
Nowadays, others do not know. As Ye Hu, he knew very well that the seemingly powerful Turks were actually undercurrents. His elder brother Shibi Khan has been in great health since the beginning of the winter. Whether or not you can survive this cold winter is a question. Now the question of who is the ruler of the Turkic khanate has become the most pressing question.
His elder brother had four sons, two of whom were adults, all of whom were named Ye Hu. The other two are still young, and who of these nephews becomes khans will directly affect his future in the future. The Turks are also different from the Central Plains, they do not rely on what son inherits their father's business, but on strength.
If he befriended the Tang Dynasty, he did not necessarily have the intention of paving the way for his son. As one of the four major protectors of the Turks, he may not have the strength to do anything for the Khan. To compete for the Khan position, then strength is the most fundamental. Once his troops lose too much here, then he will completely lose the opportunity to compete for the Khan position.
He said, "Is that all there is?" ”
"Of course you can't do that!" Bu Lugen said: "Let's think about it in the long run!" ”
