Chapter 1013: Killing Stops Killing

Lin Kaiyue has rich experience in leading the army.

The Turkic spirit cavalry in front of him was menacing, like a black cloud moving in the steppe, which made him feel pressured.

What's more, when the elite of the strikers was not on guard, they broke into the ambush circle of the Turkic elite cavalry, and in an instant, the east, west, and north sides were full of elite cavalry in an orderly formation.

Bursts of dense rain of arrows fell like a violent storm, and the Tang army was protected by shields, and there were still soldiers who were wounded, killed, and fell from their horses.

When the crisis came, Mo said that Yang Yue sent spies to convey military orders and instructed him to reverse the bad situation in front of him as soon as possible.

Even without Yang Yue's orders, in order to ensure the safety of the elite of the forwards and reduce the casualties of the Tang army, he also did his best to command and change the passive situation of the army.

In front of the army, the panicked iron horsemen, aware that they had fallen into a Turkic ambush, were no different from the prey that had fallen into a trap.

He is a veteran who has been galloping on the battlefield for many years, and he is all crawling out of the pile of dead people.

At this moment, they were also frightened and a little panicked.

Panic is panic, but fortunately they did not mess with themselves, let alone turn their horses to evacuate.

Lean on each other and protect yourself with shields while protecting your crossbowmen in the rear.

In a panic, the army heard the sound of the commander's military order, and the soldiers of the three armies passed on to each other, and in addition to the shield defense, the strong crossbowmen behind the shield had already picked up the crossbow in advance and shot at the Turkic elite cavalry that came from the mighty river.

The scattered rain of arrows was too powerful to form an effective defense, let alone shoot the Turkic cavalry on a large scale, but it still caused casualties among the Turkic cavalry and slightly slowed down their impact.

Poof, poof.

The short arrow pierced the animal skin armor and pierced into the body of the cavalry, and the elite cavalry charging in front fell from the horse, causing the overall formation of the army to be chaotic, and in an instant, a small trampling occurred.

"Hmph, being surrounded by Turkic elite cavalry, and trying to change the situation is simply wishful thinking."

King Zuogu Li grabbed the reins of the horse, and galloped first, and Yu Guang noticed that the elite horses beside him fell from the horse, trampling each other, snorted lightly, and shouted: "The whole army speed up, the archers speed up shooting, and strive to kill more Tang troops."

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Shoot!"

"Shoot!"

"Revenge, revenge..."

The hateful Turkic elite cavalry, facing the surrounded Tang army, had a kind of momentum of hunting in the steppe, roaring, shouting, and already putting life and death out of the way.

One by one, they raised their blades and slapped them on the horses, eager to gallop to the side of the Tang Army in an instant, raising their knives and killing them.

Avenge the people who died in the southern Xinjiang.

Lin Kaiyue sat on horseback and raised his eyes to look, and when he saw that the Tang army was forming a defense, King Zuo Guli led the army to follow one after another, ignoring the dense rain of arrows shot by the crossbows, and one by one seemed to see death as if they were at home.

"These crazy people."

This kind of charge, regardless of casualties, shocked Lin Kaiyue.

This kind of momentum of seeing death as home, he had only seen it in Tang Jun, and he didn't expect that the Turkic elite cavalry, and he didn't care about life and death in today's charge, it was really beyond his expectations.

Such a frantic charge, unless the Tang army crushes the opponent in a very short time, otherwise, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop their charge.

However, Lin Kaiyue is not a vegetarian either.

The enemy is strong, I am stronger.

This just stimulates the fighting spirit of the Tang army, even if the Tang army is in a crisis, it will never let the king of Zuogu Li lead the troops easily.

Kill a thousand enemies, lose eight hundred, and strike hard at the charging cavalry.

Looking at the menacing Turkic elite horseman, Lin Kaiyue was not afraid of danger, and a thick smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Raising the iron whip, he suddenly turned horizontal, pointed forward, and shouted in a loud voice: "The shield soldiers meet the battle and protect, the crossbowmen suppress the rain of arrows, and the rear soldiers bravely rush out and throw earth-shaking thunder, ignite the divine fire and flying crows, and do their best to fight the Turkic cavalry, kill one person, and reward a slave."

In this battle, they went deep into the grassland, and they wanted to destroy the main force of Yiran that was eradicated by the dog's eye.

Now that some of the elite cavalry of Yi Ran's department have been killed, they just happened to destroy the other party first, and then led out the royal court iron cavalry led by Yi Ran, and the two sides fought to the death.

Although the king of Zuogu Li led the army like a surging river, flying and coming, it was like a storm sweeping the earth.

Perhaps the serial rain of arrows of the Turkic elite cavalry was very strong, and it was able to inflict casualties on the Tang army and suppress the speed of the Tang army's resistance. However, the Tang Army, which had rich combat experience, was not a vegetarian either.

Once they have a respite, seize the time to deploy.

With the help of earth-shattering thunder, divine fire flying crows, and dense short arrows shot from the crossbow, they will definitely form a defense in a short time, and before the king of Zuogu Li leads the army to approach, he will strike backward and shoot half of their elites.

As soon as the military order came out, the shield soldiers and crossbowmen who were in a bad situation quickly rode their horses to make way in the center of the army, and the rear elite horses rushed out, shaking their arms and wrists to throw out earth-shattering thunder.

At the same time, in the rear of the army, the soldiers bravely lit the fire crows, and in the squeak, the fire crows emitted faint smoke, and in the dim environment, they were like firebirds flying in the air with their wings spread.

The speed was faster than the short arrows fired by the crossbows, and they swarmed towards the Turkic iron horsemen who rushed in all directions.

Almost at the same time, the crossbowmen behind the shield array seized the time to fire their repeaters and took the opportunity to launch a powerful counterattack.

A dense rain of arrows, like a downpour, fell from the sky, and the momentum was overwhelming.

Shoot the Turkic elite horsemen in all directions, and protect their comrades who throw earth-shattering thunder.

Almost in the blink of an eye, in the dim heaven and earth, there were a lot of earth-shattering thunders that were sparking, mixed with short arrows and divine fire flying crows.

However, the Turkic elite horse charged at a very fast speed, like a huge wave coming, and the archers shot a series of arrows in an orderly manner, wave after wave, and the lethality was also not small.

When the Tang army launched a counterattack, except for the soldiers who controlled the Divine Fire Crow in the rear, who were in a position beyond the range of the Turkic elite cavalry longbow and were not threatened by the rain of arrows, the cavalry who rushed out of the shield array and the soldiers who shot with crossbows were all threatened by the rain of arrows.

When they lost their shields and had no time to dodge, many soldiers were killed by a rain of arrows and fell from their horses before they even had time to complete their mission.

Some soldiers bravely rode their horses and rushed out, but before they threw out the earth-shaking thunder, they were unfortunately killed by arrows, and the earth-shaking thunder in their hands fell to the ground and exploded near the Tang army, not killing the enemy, but causing a lot of casualties to themselves.

However, when the Tang army was in a difficult situation, it still insisted on launching a wave of counterattacks.

When King Zuogu led the army to charge impatiently, he saw that the Tang army was like a moth to a fire, counterattacking in a rain of arrows from the army, and the trees that seemed to have been cut down fell to the ground one by one, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile thickly.

However, when the Tang army's counterattack gradually took shape, the smile on the corner of King Zuoguli's mouth quickly disappeared, and he was replaced by fear and a little uneasy.

For fear that he would fail to eradicate the Tang Army, he would die before he could get out of the army, and the defeat of the striker would destroy Yiran's overall plan.
