Chapter Eighty-Eight: The General's Iron Spear Was Already Hungry and Thirsty

A shocking corpse, most of these corpses, are the neck and chest vital arrows, the chest arrows accounted for the vast majority, sharp arrows through the chest, through the heart or lung lobes, straight through the spine, the arrows often before they fell to the ground unconscious.

Ashina Helu leaned down and slowly pulled an arrow from a dead corpse. Sure enough, as Ashina Helu guessed, this was neither the wooden arrow that the Turks were accustomed to using, nor the bone arrow they used, let alone the bamboo arrow. It is a sheep's head arrow of the Tang system.

The so-called sheep's head arrow, Han Yangxiong's "Dialect": "Where the arrow is ...... The three sickles (ridges) are called sheep's heads. "This arrow is three inches and three minutes long, extremely sharp, extremely powerful, and the wound is extremely difficult to heal.

In fact, if the sheep's head arrow is enlarged tenfold in proportion, it can be turned into a spear blade, and it is also the originator of the five-six-style three-edged military thorn.

Ashina Helu naturally did not know the power and prestige of the Triangular Army Thorn, but he knew that although there were some captured sheep's head arrows in the hands of the Turks, however, this kind of sheep's head arrows must use a strong crossbow and a hard bow to maximize its power. The riding bow or hunting bow in the hands of the Turks usually has only seven buckets or one stone of pull, and it is absolutely impossible to hit the front chest, through the ribcage, to the spine.

The only possibility is that Goshunur and Ashina Valley have set up a large amount of equipment for the Tang army. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why there are so many sheep's head arrowheads and stainless steel armor made of stainless steel.

Ashinahlu suffered the worst nightmare since he raised his army and established himself as a khan, and his head seemed to be bloodshot at the army under the command of Goshunur, and he rushed forward one after another, completely ignoring life and death.

That square inch of land became a bloody Shura slaughterhouse. The secret services, Burke, and Berg who participated in this battle knelt in front of him, crying bitterly, lamenting that the losses were too heavy and that their bones had been broken!

In this battle, it was fought for just over two hours, and more than 3,000 people were killed and wounded on both sides, and then Ashina Helu's troops were killed and wounded more than 2,000 and a half. Although Ashina Helu led an army of 15,000, this loss was not too painful.

However, when he looked at the shocking corpse lying on the ground in front of him, the more he looked at it, the more his hands trembled.

The nightmare he had been trying so hard to avoid was still ongoing. After the defeat of Yehu Khan in Liangzhou, there was a part of the Western Turks who were willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Although Ashina Helu tried his best to avoid this, there were still people who surrendered to the Tang Kingdom.

Otherwise, even if Ge Shubu could have some of the Tang Army's standard blades and equipment, they would definitely not be able to achieve five or six thousand people, almost all of them were Tang crossbows and Tang Jia, if it weren't for the same deep eyes, blue eyes, and curly hair, he would have suspected that he had met the Tang Army.

It doesn't matter anymore, what matters is that he suffered an unprecedented fiasco.

Ashina Helu was so angry that he finally lost his mind, threw the scimitar in his hand far away, and let out a howl! The howl of a wounded beast!

"Khan, breathe your wrath!"

"The Great Khan is angry!"

……

The spies, Burke, Berg and others all persuaded bitterly: "Great Khan, this can't be fought. The mongrels of the Goshu tribe have a large number of strong bows and crossbows, as well as iron armor, and they are not afraid of our army's cavalry and shooting, and for every one of them killed or wounded by our army, they have to kill or wound one or two! We can't fight any more, let's withdraw, otherwise our army will be greatly injured! ”

The secret service, Burke, and Berg were silent.

Just now, he did his best to kill and injure Ge Shu, but while killing and injuring Ge Shubu, he also let Ge Shubu's strong bow and crossbow beat him to death.

The most terrible thing is that Geshubu's arrows don't seem to be poor, and every salvo will kill and injure them a lot, how can this be fought?

Ashina Helu stared at the wolf-tailed Da Xuan of Goshunur on the opposite hillside, gritted his teeth, and roared: "Keep attacking!" Their crossbow arrows are not infinite, they are few and their stamina will run out, and then our chance will come! Offensive! Can't give them any respite! ”

Ashina was stunned, and almost cried out: "Great Khan, calm down!" If we fight like this, even if we win, few of us will survive! ”

Ashina is also regarded as the brother of Ashina Helu. He pointed to Ashina Helu and said excitedly: "When we fight in the Great Turks, we have always been moving, avoiding the edge of the enemy's army, and attacking their weak brigades......

Without waiting for Ashina to finish speaking, Ashina Helu suddenly slashed down, Ashina's voice stopped abruptly, and the big head flew out with a sharp blade, bringing a rain of blood.

"Puff ......" The warm blood sprayed Ashina Helu's face, and at this time, his hideous Ashina Helu seemed to be a terrible ghost who crawled out of hell.

Everyone looked at this scene and was stunned.

Ashina Helu shouted: "Use your brains, think about it seriously, eight years ago, from here to the east, all the way to Helan Mountain, it was the pasture of our Western Turks, how many people are there in our Western Turks?" How many horses do we have, how many cattle and sheep do we have? ”

The crowd was silent.

At the beginning, under the leadership of the Great Khan of Tongye Protector, the Western Turks had more than one million settlers (households), and even if half of Ding Zhuang was transferred, they could easily gather three or four hundred thousand people who controlled the strings.

At that time, their horses were all over the mountains, and their flocks were more numerous than the white clouds in the sky. From Helan Mountain to Khorasan, within a range of more than 10,000 miles, hundreds of tribes and hundreds of countries were all subject to their Western Turkic Khanate.

When they are happy, they can listen to the music played by the Qiuzi people, watch the dance of the Loulan people, and enjoy the intimate service of the Serliste people.

At that time, in the entire land of Anxi, no one dared to disobey the orders of the Turks, because to resist would mean death, and the horses' hooves of the Turks would trample Jinweishan down by three points.

Ashina Helu looked at the spies, Burke, and Berg around him and shouted, "But what about now? In just eight years, the Tang people have advanced 6,500 miles westward, we have lost more than half of the pasture, and the Dingkou has been reduced by half. ”

"Are we Turks weaker than the Dons?" Ashina Helu shook his head, stretched out his halberd and pointed at the phalanx of Goshunur, and roared loudly: "No, we are weaker than the Tang people, but because of this group of traitors who betrayed the Great Turkic Khanate, this is our last chance!" Tang Guoan's Western Army has not been able to arrive in time, it is only a white-eyed wolf, an anti-bone boy, and now, it is our last chance. As long as we defeat these traitors, we can drive them to charge the entire Tang army, this is the last chance! If you don't want to fight, you can leave immediately, I'm going to stay here and fight them to the death!" ”

After saying that, he flew on his horse and rushed down the mountain with a group of detached soldiers, blowing the horn.

Doros Chuan, the cavalry from the descendants of Ashina Helu got on their horses one after another, raised their whips, and whipped the buttocks of the war horses fiercely.

Ashina Holu's other knights who were attached to the detachment also had red eyes, and rushed forward with a scream.

After the initial shock and confusion, the soldiers of the army under the command of Ashina Helu collectively fell into madness. Goshubu's strong bow and crossbow and sharp saber caused them an unprecedented psychological impact.

But the strong crossbow of the Goshu tribe frightened them even more, and everyone knew very well that if they allowed this brother to continue to develop, they would soon have the ability to destroy the Turks, and at that time, they would have no way to live!

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and the grassland can only have one overlord. At the beginning, they stepped on the bones of the Rouran people and achieved the invincible prestige of the Turks, and now the Geshu tribe has shown signs of strength, and they must not wait for them to be truly powerful and invincible, and they must take advantage of the fact that the Geshu tribe is not strong enough to destroy them and kill them all!

As long as the Goshu tribe is annihilated, all the tribes that are ready to rebel or have rebelled against the Turks will feel fear, and only with iron and blood can the divided Turks be reunited.

At this time, Ashina Helu and his soldiers had only one thought left in their hearts, to attack and drown them with blood.

Chen Ying, Su Dingfang, Liu Renliang, Zhang Shigui and other soldiers located on the top of Chisha Mountain were quietly looking at the Turkic cavalry swarming at the foot of the mountain.

Chen Ying smiled faintly and said, "Ashina Helu is scared!" ”

Su Dingfang was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "The general said this?" Judging from the end of the year, Ashina Helu still has an absolute advantage. ”

Chen Ying smiled: "He's scared, they're completely scared!" ”

Seeing that the generals didn't understand, Chen Ying continued to explain: "Ashina Helu has realized that any Geshu tribe that was originally weak and weakened by them will immediately become invincible after being armed by our Datang. Ashina Helu is a smart man, and he has realized that with our support, the Goshu will soon have the ability to crush them, so he panics and wants to annihilate the Goshu at all costs. ”

Su Dingfang suddenly realized.

The distance is too far, and Su Dingfang can't see it really. If you look at the telescope, you can look through the telescope at the soldiers under Ashina Helu, all of whom have distorted faces.

Chen Ying's alliance with the Khan of Ebilu was actually a conditional alliance. He could provide money, supplies, and equipment, but he did not rely on the Khan of Ebiru to solve all the battles.

Chen Ying needs to continue to perpetuate a myth: "Tang is invincible under the horseman!" ”

In fact, Chen Ying still learned this trick from the Manchu Qing Dynasty. What Jurchen is less than 10,000, full of invincible knives, in fact, to put it bluntly, this is just a star army that they packaged out in a specific period.

The end of the Ming Dynasty was actually a worse era, not the worst, only worse. The death of the Ming Dynasty is a large-scale erosion, the only bright spot is the battle of Jiangyin, the warden Yan Yingyuan led 100,000 righteous people in Jiangyin, facing 240,000 Qing army iron cavalry, more than 200 heavy artillery, trapped in the lonely city for 81 days, so that the Qing army broke three kings and 18 generals, and died 75,000 people, known as Jiangyin 81 days in history. On the day of the destruction of the city, none of the righteous people surrendered, and the survivors were only 53 old and young.

So the question is, is the fighting power of the righteous people really that strong? We all know that the people who have not been trained are actually very weak in combat effectiveness, even if Yan Gong's ability is against the sky, he will definitely not be able to exert the combat effectiveness of 10,000 troops. It can be seen that the myth of the Manchu bubble was punctured by Yan Gong at once.

When the Manchu army attacked, it would first use a large number of servant troops, let the servant army rush regardless of casualties, consume the enemy almost to the ground, and replace it with the well-replenished Manchu iron cavalry to solve the battle in one fell swoop.

In fact, Chen Ying is now taking this method.

Geshu Nur played in the front, and the elite of the Anxi army of the Tang Dynasty watched coldly, with five or six thousand Geshu cavalry against more than 10,000 cavalry under Ashina Helu, defeat was inevitable.

Although they were equipped with the Tang Army's standard blades, they did not learn the real tactics and strategies of the Tang Army, and at any time, weapons and equipment were not the only key factors in defeating the enemy, the most important thing was people. For example, in the recent border conflict between India and Pakistan, the Pakistani military used Thunder Dragon fighters against the Su-30 and MiG-21, and the result was 2 to 0.

This result is a big surprise, although the performance of the Thunder Dragon fighter is good, but it is only good, but there is a serious generation gap. For example, Su San0 is a heavy-duty boxer, while Xiaolong is not even a lightweight, but can only be regarded as a sub-lightweight. As a result, the Thunder Dragon counterattacked perfectly.

The cavalry under Ashina Helu was at a gallop, faster than the thunder, and the sharp arrows shot could almost cover the sky.

Over the past few decades, the Turks have been unlucky. They took advantage of the situation when China was the weakest, and originally had the best opportunity, like the Xianbei Tuoba Department, drinking horses and the Yellow River, and dominating the north. It's just a pity that fate played a terrible joke on them, so that they met a real opponent when the country was supposed to be thriving and the Northern Zhou was dying.

First met Yang Jian, who was eloquent and strategic, and whose martial arts were rare, when he was not invincible to the Turks, he paralyzed the Turks in a friendly way, and then divided and attacked with Changsun Sheng and Pei Ju in the east and west, and the powerful Turks were divided into two parts: east and west. Since then, internal strife and internal friction have become the daily life of the Turkic people.

"Woo Woo ......"

On both sides of the battle, arrows come and go, and the trills of metal and the sound of bowstrings trembling have become the main theme on the battlefield.

The valley at the foot of Chisha Mountain has become an icy dead line, and if you touch it, you will die!

There were constantly knights under the command of Ashina Helu screaming and falling down with men and horses, and the blood quickly accumulated into a puddle of blood, and when he stepped down, blood splashed everywhere.

The arrows fired by the cavalry under Ashina Helu also brought heavy damage to the cavalry of the Goshu tribe, and people continued to fall under the horses with arrows.

Although it is said that the casualties of the Geshu tribe are less than those under Ashina Helu, what makes Geshunur extremely desperate is that they finally shot down one, and Ashina Helu's command immediately made up for one, as if there was no end.

What is even more tragic is that Geshunur did not listen to Liu Renliang's advice, and purchased all the three kinds of bows and arrows in the distance, middle and near to form a firepower network with alternating distance, middle and near.

Although it is said that the powerful bow and crossbow are powerful, but the force is mutual, the stronger the bow and crossbow, the more laborious it is to use, as the battle continues, the soldiers under the command of Geshu gradually feel powerless.

From the full moon to the first half of the month, to the end, the tired arms and waist were sore, and the soldiers of the Geshu Department said in a hurry: "Little Khan, I can't move, I really can't move!" ”

Ashina Gushe gritted his teeth, and at this time, Chen Ying had already sent out to ask them if they needed support three times.

Ashina Gushe rejected them all, he needed these credits, because Chen Ying wanted to exchange the head for the household registration, a Turkic head, which could be exchanged for a person's naturalized nationality, accept the protection of the Tang people, and live in the Tang people's city, which was a temptation they could not refuse.

Geshunur looked at the troops who had suffered heavy casualties, and said in a hurry: "Little Khan, it's no good, the sons and daughters have killed more than 2,000 people, and they can fight less than 2,000 people, and they can't fight......

Ashina Gushe gritted his teeth and said: "Ashina Helu's losses are heavier than ours, they still have less than six thousand men and horses, we can defeat them......"

One of the tribunes struggled to pull the bow, and at that moment, his face grew redder, and finally, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Goshunur smiled helplessly: "I really can't hold on anymore!" ”

"We can't hold on...... Ashina Gushe said with great bitterness in his heart: "Now Ashina Helu has been beaten and half-disabled, but it's all cheap Tang people!" ”

"There's no way around that, we'll all die if we continue to fight!" Goshunur said indignantly: "The wounded beast is terrible, and now Ashina Helu is a wounded beast, and it is not so easy to pick up the bargain!" ”

……

Chen Ying received a message for help from Ashina Valley, and did not immediately give the order to attack, but turned to look at the herald and said, "Has the Modao Army arrived at the combat position?" ”

The herald bowed down and said: "When the lowly came to report the news, General Zhang was still six miles away from the target location, and the time should be reached at the target location!" ”

In fact, this red sand mountain battlefield is like the shape of a dustpan, when Chen Ying observed the terrain, he faintly guessed that in ancient times, this place should be a huge river, this place is the alluvial fan plain washed by the river. It's just that later the earth's crust moved, the climate deteriorated, and it became the now desolate Gobi desert.

Chen Ying's plan is actually not complicated, it can also be said to be very simple.

The Modao army blocked the retreat of Ashina Helu's troops, while the hook and sickle cavalry were responsible for settling the final battle, and the infantry was responsible for collecting corpses and cleaning up the battlefield.

Just when Chen Ying did not give the battle order, Luo Shixin was already in a hurry.

During this time, he was suffocated, he raised the iron spear in his hand, and said loudly: "General Ben's iron spear has long been hungry and thirsty."

Listening to Luo Shixin's words, Chen Ying smiled and said nothing.

He didn't feel the need to explain to Luo Shixin what hunger and thirst were.

Chen Ying waved his hand heavily and said, "All the soldiers! ”

The Hook and Scythe Lancer Soldier immediately looked solemn.

Chen Ying continued: "Crush these fools to General Ben!" ”
