Chapter Thirty-Nine: Shot Crashes

This was asked suddenly, and even Chen Ying didn't expect that there would be anyone in the new army who dared to question him? Chen Ying turned his head, looked at the voice, and saw a man in his forties, he had a thin white face, a short beard and a dense black beard under his chin, and he could be regarded as dignified, with the pure and Confucian temperament of a scholar.

Chen Ying didn't know this person, and looked at Wei Wenzhong suspiciously, Wei Wenzhong was in charge of reorganizing the troops, and the captains of the ten regiments would definitely know all of them.

Looking at Chen Ying's puzzled gaze, Wei Wenzhong explained: "This is Meng Zechen, the captain of the Seventh Regiment Inspection School!" ”

As soon as Wei Wenzhong's voice fell, there was another man in the new army who was in his thirties, with a black face and beard, and a tall man, pointed at "Meng Zechen" and said: "Thief, your mother, Liu Tong, your mother's head is shrunk in the crotch of her pants, hiding her head and showing her tail, what is it?" ”

Chen Ying pointed to the black-faced man and said, "Who are you?" ”

"Humble Bi Xin, the former Liang thief puppet left commander Sima of the Dynasty!" Bi Xin said: "This person is not surnamed Meng or Meng Zechen at all, he is Liu Tong, the Liang thief puppet left unification army." ”

Meng Zechen bowed down with a stunned face and said: "Tell the manager, Liu Tong of Lingzhou!" ”

Chen Ying understands why Liu Tong changed his name and surname, in any case, he has already surrendered to Liang Shidu, and now he has surrendered to Datang, if someone settles accounts in the future, the stain on his body will not be washed away at all. However, he still stood quite awkwardly.

Wei Wenzhong looked at Chen Ying, who was silent, and whispered: "Chief, we only have less than 1,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and more than 20,000 Turks, if these more than 3,000 people take the opportunity to make trouble, Yang Changshi can't suppress it at all, and if we don't make it, we will suffer from the enemy!" ”

Chen Ying was not a stubborn person, and when he heard Wei Wenzhong say it reasonably, he nodded and said, "That's okay!" ”

The Liang division was short of supplies and the troops were extremely poorly equipped. However, the equipment of the right guard was very good, and when Chen Ying set off from Chang'an City, he carried a large number of ordnance and armor, and at this time changed into the Liang soldiers in the standard armor and clothing of the Tang Army. At this time, it was no different from the Tang Army.

Since Chen Ying joined the army, he has never had the opportunity to establish his own lineage, and has been making wedding dresses for others, whether it is Jingzhou Zhichong Mansion or Xun Er Mansion, all he needs is an edict, and Chen Ying has to obediently cede power. At this time, Chen Ying also had some careful thoughts.

The surrender of the Liang army had nothing to do with the generals of the Tang army, and they had no way out except to rely on themselves. It's better to take the opportunity to cultivate into a descendant.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying said: "These ten regiments need to establish at least two prefectures according to the system, but we don't have so many officers at present, and we have transferred three hundred people from the first mansion, the second mansion, the first mansion, and the second mansion to each regiment. "The remaining six regiments will be transferred to one regiment and merged into the pro-guard regiment, and the other five regiments will form the pro-guard mansion and the Zhichong Mansion. With Zhang Huaiwei as the captain of the guard, Ryazan as the left lieutenant of the guard Guoyi, and Liu Tong as the right lieutenant of Guoyi and the first regiment school! ”

Chen Ying's decision, the faces of the generals led by the right guard all showed joy. The Tang Army was divided into upper, middle, and lower classes. There were 1,200 in the upper province (sometimes to 1,500), 1,000 in the middle province, and 800 in the lower province. Although it is the same as the commander of the folding, it is divided into five grades, six grades, and six grades. Due to the slightly higher level of the right guard of the East Palace, the so-called Zhichong Commanders are all under the five grades, but Chen Ying will draw out the Yue cavalry regiments of each Zhichong Mansion and use them in a centralized manner, each province only has jurisdiction over three regiments of infantry, and they only have more than 900 parts. Chen Ying would add a regiment of troops to them at this time, and the imperial court would generally acquiesce, so their rank would remain the same, and they would be under the fifth grade. However, after a series of big victories, the court recounted their merits, and they must have been promoted.

The reorganization of the troops in the imperial court on the battlefield is estimated to be something that only Chen Ying can do. However, from the beginning to the end, Ashina Shipobi did not order the troops to attack.

And the soldiers of the Tang Army regarded the 15,000 Turks as nothing, and they were very proud in their hearts, and their morale unconsciously increased by more than a little bit.

After almost half an hour, Chen Ying completed the reorganization of the troops. At this time, Chen Ying realized that Wei Wenzhong's assistant was too thoughtful, and he actually brought Chen Ying's modified bed crossbow snow climbing plow. Sixty bed crossbows and plows. Chen Ying naturally assigned these sixty bed crossbow climbing plows to the establishment of the Qinwei Zhechong Mansion.

Chen Ying was overjoyed and said: "The Qinwei Mansion is attacking, and we will serve them with a heavy crossbow first!" ”

Zhang Huaiwei commanded sixty snow climbing plough bed crossbows to line up under the Wild Boar Ridge, while Liu Tong, the lieutenant of Guo Yi, showed the classic way of infantry combat in the Tang Dynasty. The bed crossbow is guarded with a strong crossbow, forming a three-layer defense means composed of a bed crossbow, a strong crossbow and a hard bow, which is composed of a long, middle and near layer.

Seeing that the Tang army began to arrange the crossbow array, Ashina Shibaobi didn't dare to wait any longer. The grasslands were unwritten for most of the time, but they left behind legends that were passed down by word of mouth. The legend is very short, with only four words: "Array, no battle!" ”

It means that as long as the Han army is already in formation, then simply don't fight, run as far as you want. At that time, Li Ling led 5,000 Han troops to fight for more than 2,000 miles, and more than 100,000 Huns did not gnaw Li Ling down, which is enough to show how fierce the crossbow machine of the Han army was.

In some film and television dramas, cavalry bow and arrow shooting can also shoot the enemy's war horse, which is pure nonsense. Take the Turkic cavalry bow as an example, with a mere seven-bucket pull, a range of fifty paces, an effective range of thirty paces, and a barely leather armor against galloping horses, unless placed within twenty paces. The distance of twenty paces, that is, the time of the instantaneous charge of the war horse, as soon as the arrow is shot, the enemy's war horse will collide with it.

But the crossbow is different, it can easily shoot through the hard skull of a war horse, and can even pierce the chest of a war horse.

Just when Ashnasimo led the Turkic cavalry to rush down the hillside.

A terrible howl of "woo-woo" rang out from the battlefield, and one hundred and eighty giant crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm loomed towards them like a dark cloud.

The Turkic soldiers who were hit by the bed crossbow arrows, regardless of the shield they carried, invariably pierced through the body and died, and the powerful ballista sometimes pierced the corpses of two or three Turks.

The originally dense and neat Turkic cavalry charging formation was chaotic by sixty bed crossbows and one hundred and eighty giant crossbow arrows.

After losing five or six hundred cavalry, the Turkic cavalry finally rushed into the distance of about two hundred paces in front of the Tang army, and it was at this moment.

The sound of "...... breaking the air" sounded, and the piercing sound of breaking the air stimulated people's eardrums and made people's scalps itch and even crazy.

The army under Ashnasmo was like wheat that had been put down, falling in pieces. The piercing power of the crossbow makes it enough to crush enemies even if it misses a person, but also nails a horse.

Ashnasimo deserves to be regarded as a good general of the young Turkic generation (fifteen years old at this time), although the cavalry under his command suffered heavy losses, they did not stop at all, the dead were not pitied at all, and the only fate of those who fell from their horses was to turn into a puddle of meat under the hooves of their comrades!

Even before the crossbow could shoot the second round, the cavalry had already rushed within the range of the archers.

"Strongbow waiting!"

This time, the Turkic cavalry was not only guarding the Zhichong Mansion, but also the four Zhichong Mansions, Xun 1, Xun 2, Yi 1, and Yi 2, and nearly 3,000 strong bows were intensively accumulated.

A strong crossbow can only shoot in a straight line, but a bow and arrow are projectiles, and when the arrow flies to the highest point, it will fall under the parabola, relying on strong kinetic energy to kill the enemy.

Just when Chen Ying was about to order the lancers to dispatch, an incredible scene actually appeared, the Turks were less than fifty paces away from the front of the Tang army, and they actually turned their horses' heads and rushed towards the boar ridge without a life.

"My grass, three rounds of arrow rain actually collapsed!"
