Chapter 68: Killing one person is a crime, and slaughtering ten thousand people is a hero
Although the war horses have been trained and trained, they can not be afraid of fire and loud noises, but when the fire burns their buttocks, the war horses can't care about three hundred and seventy-one, they only know how to run forward.
Whether it is a person in front of it, or a war horse, a war horse galloping at high speed, the power of the charge is more than ten thousand.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The sound of breaking bones was intertwined with the neighing and screaming of people and horses. The Western Turkic soldier who fell to the ground had not yet gotten up, but his leg was broken by the horse's hooves behind him, and the screams stopped abruptly, and a bowl-sized horse's hoof stepped on his head, and gray brains and blood burst out.
There were also lucky Turks who were thrown to the ground by their horses, but their feet were wrapped in the stirrups on one side, and the Turkic soldiers let out heart-rending wails, and blood gushed out from the hideous wounds, accumulating on the ground......
Luo Shixin was dumbfounded: "This ...... This...... The battle can still be fought like this! It's terrible, it's so ...... It's terrible, it's terrible, those Western Turks are so miserable. ”
Chen Ying glared at Luo Shixin and said, "What did you say?" ”
Luo Shixin hurriedly changed his words: "These bitches are so hateful, they died well!" ”
"Yes, good death!" Chen Ying said with a smile: "Only dead Turks are good Turks." ”
Chen Ying's face was relaxed, but Tongye Hu Khan was like a knife.
So many Western Turkic warriors fell in the blink of an eye, they began to practice martial arts and polish their strength at the age of a few years, and began to fight at the age of sixteen, how much hardship they endured, how many vicious battles they fought, before they developed this skill, and now, they were trampled to death by a war horse.
Tong Ye Hu Khan's eyes were blood-red, and he roared loudly: "Shoot!" Shoot them! Shoot them! ”
It's easier said than done to shoot a high-speed horse.
The cavalry horn bow of the Western Turks is a light bow, and although the rate of fire is fast, the lethality is not flattering. It's okay to deal with unarmored targets, but it's not enough to deal with these crazy war horses.
Yes, in the face of the hordes of horses swarming like mad tigers, the Western Turkic cavalry galloped and turned to shoot back.
Tens of thousands of Western Turkic cavalry fired back, forming a dense rain of arrows, shooting the first few rows of fire horses.
In fact, Chen Ying is not a cruel person. The beef-soaked mane he tied to the horse's tail was not an incendiary bomb after all, in fact, the war horse ran wildly for several miles, and the flames were slowly extinguished. Losing the threat of flames on their tails, these horses also slowly calmed down, and they were now just running by inertia.
It's good that those Western Turks don't shoot arrows, but when they shoot arrows, they are afraid that the wildness of these war horses will be stimulated. Instead of slowing down, these horses with arrows accelerated their charge.
Of course, this is mainly due to the training of the Turks, whose cavalry encountered the enemy's rain of arrows in the process of charging, and in this case, they could never stop advancing, but could only endure casualties, and fought hand-to-hand with their teeth through the rain of arrows in front of them.
Therefore, the Western Turks were extremely sad to find that these chain horses were chasing more and more fiercely, and they hated even more because they were ten war horses tied together, almost at a distance of eight or nine zhang wide, there was no place to hide. And even if one of the horses is killed, the chain horses will not stop charging, they will drag the fallen horses to continue running, or exhaust their physical strength and die, or because of friction, wear off the cowhide rope that is tied to them.
Tongye Hu Khan sadly found that there was no way to fight this battle anymore, and his morale had been discouraged. The Turkic warriors on the battlefield have all become as timid as rabbits, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the most elite detachment army formations have also been faintly loosened.
More than 20,000 serial fire horses almost exhausted the arrows of their tens of thousands of archers, and the key is that the hook and sickle cavalry of the Xiao cavalry under Chen Ying has not yet been on it.
The soldiers and civilians of Liangzhou standing on the city wall of Liangzhou, looking at this dramatic scene, looked at the piles of corpses and the wounded Western Turkic soldiers wriggling in pain in pools of blood, dumbfounded.
A Liangzhou general who had never seen Chen Ying's powerful had his jaw almost dislocated: "This ...... Defeated the Western Turkic cavalry formation so quickly? When did our Datang cavalry become so powerful!? ”
Li Daozong didn't have time to speak. Zhao Chunyang, the commander of Rongsheng Zhechong, smiled proudly: "That's because you are lonely and unheard, and you don't inquire, General Chen has few unique skills, and he dares to fight against the Turks in the wild?" Don't be in a daze, Tong Yehu has suffered such a big loss, and he will definitely not give up. ”
Li Daozong didn't know if he would give up, but he knew that Chen Ying would not give up.
He scrapped more than 20,000 war horses, and if more than 20,000 war horses were placed in Chang'an, they could be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan, and such a large sum of money was gone, would he give up?
The answer is yes.
Watching the retreat of the Western Turks on all fronts, Chen Ying's expression was overcast, and he shouted: "It's time for us to go!" Put down your armor and follow me! ”
The visor is also the only piece of equipment in the Tang army. Because the cavalry often charges against the enemy's arrow rain, but once the enemy shoots in the face, the face is unobstructed, and it is easy to be slandered, even if it does not die, it will leave an ugly scar on the face.
So, in the form of motorcycle helmets, Chen Ying made face armor. In this way, even if the armor of the cavalry of the cavalry is armed to the teeth, except for the two eyes, which are not covered, the entire head enjoys protection.
The soldiers of the Hook and Sickle Cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry quickly pulled down their armor, hooked the sickle at the flat end, and rushed forward on their horses. When encountering the Western Turkic soldiers who were lucky enough to not die on the battlefield, the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Army, in the spirit of humanitarianism, quickly shot their guns, hooked off their heads, and ended their suffering.
Seeing Chen Ying chasing after him, without waiting for the order of the Commander Yehu Khan, Batur turned around on his horse, took the elite troops of his headquarters and made a big detour towards the detour, avoiding those chain fire horses, and rushing towards the hook and sickle lancers under Chen Ying's command.
Tongyehu Khan looked at Batur and prayed silently in his heart.
Be sure to win.
Be sure to win.
It may be that the Turkic god of the blue wolf is asleep, or he has not heard the prayers of the Tongye Hu Khan.
The Baltu people, as their name suggests, are worthy of the name of warriors. The elite arrows led by him rained down, and the charging Tang Army's hook and sickle cavalry resounded with a crackling sound, and sparks shot in all directions.
Batur reacted very quickly, and when he saw this situation, he knew that the soldiers of the Tang army were wearing heavy armor, even if the arrows could not penetrate, and hurriedly ordered: "Shoot their horses!" ”
The cavalry under the command of Baltu slowly lowered the arrows, the sharp arrows were like rain, and the horses that were not dressed in armor were hit by arrows one after another, and some of the horses had weak hooves in front of them, and fell to the ground, throwing the cavalry on horseback to the ground.
However, the cavalry soldiers who charged on their horses turned a blind eye to this, and rushed straight away with their hooked and sickle spears.
This kind of momentum of seeing death as if it were home and going back, Tong Yehu is not the first time to see it. He had already seen it in Liangzhou City, and this time he saw it here again.
Tong Ye Hu's face turned pale in an instant, how many people there were in Datang, he was still generally clear. There are at least 10 million of them, and the Western Turks have less than a million people, and it is the first time that the Western Turks have seen that the cavalry archery that they have relied on to become famous has lost its due power, and they only shot three or four arrows, and the hook and sickle of the Tang cavalry stabbed them in the chest!
…… Puff puff puff
The sound of the spear cutting into the flesh sounded, the muffled sound of the blade tearing flesh and blood was terrifying, and the huge impact force of the two horsemen hedged made the barrel of the hook and sickle suddenly stretch into a crescent shape, and then slammed it, and the pierced Western Turkic cavalry was involuntarily shot out alive, and then, the hook and sickle covered with blood looked for the next target.
Looking at this scene, Tongye Hu Khan's face turned pale with fright.
Tongye Hu Khan suddenly found out that he was wrong! The error is outrageous. He underestimated Datang, if Datang is such a group of crazy people who are not afraid of death, are they all so terrible? Then the Western Turks are in danger.
Cavalry combat is not as exciting as it says, what a big battle of 300 rounds, what war horse kicks, what fight from the horse to the horse, all of them, that is, two cavalry hedged past, at the moment of hedging waved the weapon in the hand, using the high speed given by the war horse to split the enemy's body, if you are good enough, can dodge a saber, don't be busy with joy, there are many more waiting for you behind.
As for the scenes in domestic garbage dramas where the cavalry catches and kills each other on the ground, and the war horses graze leisurely on the battlefield full of corpses, they can be photographed directly with leather shoes, and then change the channel.
Datang has not yet had so many film and television masterpieces that lowered their IQ, so the IQ of the Tang Army and the Western Turkic Army was at a normal level, and they did not stop to catch and fight, but swept face to face like a hurricane. The hook and sickle are held up and pushed like a wall. Although the sabers in the hands of the Western Turkic cavalry could not reach the cavalry of the Tang Army, the Western Turkic cavalry was not hard to be beaten, they used short spears as throwing spears, and there were really no close-range throwing weapons such as iron bones, iron thistles, and steel axes.
At the moment of the charge, life and death are decided, and the opponent will be killed as soon as he makes a move! Of course, this kind of gadget is not of much use to the soldiers of the Xiao cavalry, they have a folding shield on their left arm, which can protect most of the vital points, and the hook and sickle in their hands, the Turkic cavalry is too late to parry and dodge, where do they dare to throw hidden weapons?
When the cavalry couldn't take advantage of the battle, Tong Yehu had no idea of fighting at all.
The 30,000 attached troops are his army at the bottom of the box, and they cannot be used lightly until the last resort.
Once the 30,000 retainers are seriously damaged, not to mention that his position as the Western Turk Khan will be shaken, it is a question whether he can leave all the corpses.
As a khan, if you don't have blood on your hands, if you don't have enemies all over the world, you are not qualified.
"Retreat, we've lost!" Tong Ye was also single, seeing that the means were exhausted, there was no possibility of victory, and he immediately ordered a retreat.
Anyway, he also saw that Chen Ying had more than 10,000 cavalry under his command, even if they were powerful, even if they could be one as one, but he had absolutely no way to keep all the small 200,000 horses.
As the so-called ideal is very plump, the reality is too skinny.
Although the idea of the Khan of the Protector of the Leaves was wonderful, it was destined to fail.
After all, Chen Ying is not unprepared, the three Zhichong Mansion are more than 5,000 Modao soldiers waiting for them, Chen Ying's goal is not only to defeat the Western Turkic Khan, but to leave all the 200,000 troops of the Western Turkic Yehu Khan, and use the 200,000 army of the Yehu Khan to establish authority for all ethnic groups in the Western Regions.
