Chapter 66 The Empty City Plan of the Strong Outside and the Dry in the Middle
However, looking at the cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry Army that swept down, the elite of the Western Turkic Hundred Battles was really a little panicked at the beginning, but after watching it for a long time, until the faces of these Tang Army cavalry were clearly visible, they suddenly became happy.
The cavalry of the Tang Army actually did not have bows and arrows.
Is a cavalry without a bow still called a cavalry?
When the Turkic cavalry saw this, all the initial panic was swept away. They set up arrows one after another, ready to shoot this group of Tang cavalry back.
Don't look at the equipment of this Tang army is good, of course, it is just good, because the Western Turks are not like the Eastern Turks who have never seen the world. The Western Turks are people who have fought with the Persian Sassanid Empire and the Byzantine Empire, even if the Roman legions of the Roshi Empire, in the face of the Western Turkic cavalry, how far can they flee, and the armor of these Tang troops can compare to the arrows of the Turkic warriors?
The cavalry of the Western Turks did not talk nonsense, rode their horses to meet them, and pulled out the horned bow was a round of rapid shooting. This horned bow was a soft bow with an extremely fast rate of fire, and was a formidable weapon in the hands of these well-trained Western Turkic cavalrymen, whose excellent cavalry could shoot a pot of arrows in as little as a dozen breaths.
As the bowstring trembled, several arrows flew out in a line, and a rain of arrows suddenly fell above the heads of the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry School. However, this kind of bow can only bully the tribal army with a miserable armor rate, and of course, it can also bully the Gupta Empire (Indian) people, but it can't be used when it encounters the Tang Dynasty cavalry army.
Although the Xiao cavalry is not like the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, it is not an ordinary Mingguang armor, but a high-manganese steel armor, which is three percent higher than the defensive ability of high-carbon steel, but one-third lighter in weight. The essence of the armor of the cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry Army, looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, they recognize the second, no one dares to recognize the first, even if the armor-breaking arrow of the shooting army is more than fifty meters, it is difficult to shoot through their breastplate. What's more, the cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry Army are equipped with folding shields made of stainless steel, which can withstand the shots of the three-stone crossbows, and the soft-horned bows and arrows in the hands of the Western Turks are just like tickling them. They didn't pay attention to it at all, letting the rain of arrows wash over their armor, not blinking an eye.
With hooks and sickles, they lined up in a neat cavalry wall and charged on horseback. The physical strength of the war horses that had been exhausted by the horses was no longer able to raise the speed of the charge, but Chen Ying asked the soldiers to lead the war horses to the mountainside of the north mountain of Qilian Mountain, and then charge with the help of the mountain of Qilian Mountain.
People help horses, horses borrow mountains, and the speed is getting faster and faster. The Western Turkic cavalry was shocked to find that their dense rain of arrows did not play its due role, and they fell on the Tang army and bounced off, and the Tang cavalry did not have any, only a few of the Tang army's hook and sickle cavalry fell because of the arrow on their horses, and this situation has never happened! Now the distance between the two sides is very close, and they can already see the cold light emitted by the blade of the hook and sickle, and they are all frightened by it, and they all retreat in unison!
However, if you want to retreat now, is this still possible?
Before the Western Turkic cavalry could turn their horses, the hook and sickle cavalry of the Xiao cavalry had already crashed into them with men and horses, and the eight-foot-long hook and sickle pierced their bodies without delay, picked them off their horses, and then thousands of horses' hooves stepped on, and there was no more.
The filthy Western Turkic cavalry has atoned for their sins with their lives, their flesh and blood are mixed with the soil, and these steppes will definitely be more fertile in the coming year.
With the sound of puff and puff, with the flickering of dark cold light, the end of life was announced.
Even though the Western Turkic cavalry was covered with two layers of heavy armor, even if the thick iron armor on their bodies could block the stabbing of the hook and sickle, it was still useless. They would also be pulled or stabbed by hooked scythes, and then the thick hooves of the horses would trample them into pulp.
But none of this is important, the important thing is that this black terrifying wave is unstoppable, I don't know how many Western Turkic cavalry were stabbed by their strange hook and sickle spears, the front chest went in and the back chest went out, and almost all of them crashed into the Western Turkic cavalry in the Tang Army's cavalry array!
As soon as it was just a face, the Western Turkic cavalry was dealt a devastating blow, and people shouted and neighed, and there was a mess. The generals of the Western Turkic cavalry widened their eyes in disbelief, watching the cavalry of the Tang Army roll backwards like a tide, while the warriors of the Western Turks were swept away like mustard, and they only felt that the world was spinning.
Blue wolf, what kind of hellish way of fighting is Tang Jun, who can actually occupy an absolute advantage in cavalry battles! What the hell is wrong with this world!
The right flank camp of the Western Turkic cavalry, a line of more than 15,000 cavalry, collapsed in just a quarter of an hour.
Chen Ying led the cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry Army like a knife cutting a watermelon, easily cutting through the defense line of the Western Turkic army on the right flank, and at least four or five thousand Western Turkic cavalry returned to the arms of the blue wolf god within a quarter of an hour.
Chen Ying, who successfully broke into the Western Turkic camp, divided the cavalry unit into three parts, with one part to involve the Turkic war horses left in the camp, and the other to dismount to grab the Turkic mutton or boiled broth.
In just half an hour, the cavalry under Chen Ying's command doubled from less than 20,000 war horses in a short period of time, and there were more than 40,000 war horses.
Chen Ying and Luo Shixin dismounted and walked to a bonfire, eating mutton cooked by the Turks as if no one was around, and drinking Ma Nu Nai wine.
However, Chen Ying is not accustomed to the sour and fatty taste of the Turkic horse's wine, but the Western Turks' roasting mutton technique is really not blowing out, the appearance is burnt yellow, and the meat inside is tender and smooth.
Chen Ying looked at Luo Shixin, who was munching on a leg of mutton, and said with a smile: "Brother Luo, how is it?" Cool or not! ”
"It's a pleasure, it's a pleasure!" Luo Shixin took a big bite of the mutton, and Mezz drank the horse girl's wine.
Chen Yingdao: "The third fold of the left army of the Xiao cavalry army and the fourth fold of the right army have a quarter of an hour to solve personal problems!" ”
Of course, this solution to personal problems is naturally not to vent, but to take the opportunity to and pee to clean up the stomach.
Just when Chen Ying was eating and burping in the camp of the Western Turkic right-wing, the Tongye Protector Khan finally came late. However, when the Tongye Hu Khan looked at Chen Ying's department, which was now occupying the magpie's nest, he couldn't believe that such a ridiculous situation could happen under his nose.
Tong Ye Hu Khan was so angry that he whipped the right-wing general Tong Jin Zhenzhutong's face, and Zhenzhutong's face instantly opened and was dripping with blood.
But let Tong Yehu Khan's whip be whipped on his face, Zhenzhu Tong neither dared to dodge nor fight back.
Tong Ye Hu Khan cursed angrily: "Waste, idiot, you just let Chen Yingxiao'er act recklessly? ”
Zhen Zhutong was very aggrieved, but he was really scared by Chen Ying. The Western Turks are a place that pays attention to strength, and if he doesn't have a troop and soldiers and horses, he wouldn't even be a fart. But let him beat Chen Ying, he would rather be whipped than let his subordinates die in vain.
Zhenzhu Tong couldn't explain his behavior of being afraid of the enemy and cowardly, and at the critical moment, Li Zhongyan stepped forward to relieve the siege, and he pointed to the Tang soldiers in the camp and said: "Respected Khan, how many soldiers and horses do you see in the Tang army in the right camp?" ”
Tong Yehu narrowed his eyes, and hurriedly swept it, without counting at all, he could see that the Tang army that rushed into the camp and occupied the camp area was less than 20,000, not far from 20,000 horses. There are only fifteen thousand people at most.
Li Zhongyan continued: "Honorable Khan, Bei Xia has just asked the warriors who are fighting, and they said that Chen Ying'er rushed down from the slopes of Qilian Mountain, and caught them by surprise. ”
Zhenzhu Tong immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, Khan, I saw the Tang cavalry coming, and immediately led my troops to fight back...... Can ......"
Tongye Hu Khan's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and he didn't know what he was thinking: "What do you mean?" ”
Li Zhongyan swore and said: "Obviously, this is a trap!" ”
"Trap?" Tongye Hu Khan said suspiciously: "What a trap! ”
"Chen Ying'er is doing it himself!" Li Zhongyan said with a smile: "He is indeed a ruthless man, not only fighting fiercely, but also ruthless to himself, he uses himself as bait, ready to tempt the Khan to send a large army to attack the right-wing camp, once the Khan really sends a large army to attack the right-wing camp, then the rest of Chen Ying will take the opportunity to kill!" ”
Tong Yehu Khan nodded, thinking in his heart that Li Zhongyan still has some ability. He asked again, "You say, where will Chen Ying's ambush be?" ”
Li Zhongyan looked left and right, and his eyes involuntarily looked at the slopes of Qilian Mountain.
The northern slope of the Qilian Mountains is relatively gentle. In fact, in the entire Liangzhou area, the terrain is originally high in the south and low in the north, and the cavalry fights, charging condescendingly, and the speed is more than three percent faster than the upward attack.
Tongye Hu Khan turned to look at Batur and said, "Send someone to explore Qilian Mountain!" ”
Naturally, Batur did not dare to slack off. He sent a thousand scouts to explore the northern slope of Qilian Mountain, and then a quarter of an hour later, the scout reported: "No trace of the Tang army has been found within five miles of the northern slope of Qilian Mountain!" ”
Tongye Hu Khan said again: "Explore again!" ”
Half an hour later, the scout brought back information: "Within ten miles, there is still no trace of the Tang army!" ”
Tongye Hu Khan had a faint bad feeling in his heart, and roared through gritted teeth: "Probe again, report again!" ”
But at this time, Chen Ying's department had already completed the actions of changing horses, eating, and drinking.
If Chen Ying knew about Tongye Hu Khan's worries, he would definitely laugh off his big teeth.
In fact, he had a fart ambush, and in order to hurry, he only brought no more than 20,000 pieces to rescue the danger of Liangzhou.
In fact, Chen Ying didn't look relaxed on the surface, but in fact, he had a handful of sweat in his palms. The cavalry that looks like a tiger descending from the mountain is actually just an empty shelf. Six hundred and forty miles in one night and one day, all the war horses are already at the end of the crossbow.
In such a situation, human fatigue can still rely on the will to persevere, but the war horse has no way to rely on the will to persevere. In this wave of charge, most of the war horses have actually overdrawn the vitality of the war horses.
In fact, if the True Pearl Command Department could hold out for another quarter of an hour, Chen Ying would be completely exposed. Once the war is scorched, at that time, it may not be Zhenzhutong who retreats and flees, but he Chen Ying.
Once it enters into a long period of hand-to-hand combat, the Tang army will definitely be defeated! Chen Ying is taking risks. Laid out an empty city plan that is strong and strong!
One last time. There is only one last brush left. Victory or defeat is such a hammer deal!
Fortunately, Chen Ying won the bet.
The Western Turks and the Eastern Turks are worthy of being the same ancestor, they were all beaten in front of the cavalry army and could not find the north.
Looking at the surrounding generals burping from time to time, he smiled with satisfaction.
Chen Ying yelled at the soldiers around him: "How is it, cool, right?" ”
The soldiers burst into laughter.
They did not think that the Western Turks would be so unbeaten.
Chen Ying folded a grass stalk, held it in his mouth, looked like he was underwhelmed, slowly walked out of the camp, and shouted at the nervous Western Turkic army in the distance: "Tongye Hu Khan, there is a kind of let's go it alone!" ”
Countless Tang Army soldiers shouted at the top of their voices: "Tongye Hu Khan, there is a kind of let's fight alone!" “
Hearing this, Tongye Hu Khan was so crooked that his nose was crooked.
