Chapter 977: The Emperor Who Owns the Four Seas - In One Blow

Completely contrary to Aslan Khan and Sanjar's expectations, the first battle of the Karahu was actually between two armed refugees.

Abdul, the leader of Ghulam, who was in charge of commanding the second group of armed refugees, watched the tens of thousands of people in the front team suddenly turn around and rush towards him, and behind them was the yellow dust and smoke in the sky and the "sound of horses' hooves" roaring like thunder, rumbling into a ball!

It must have been the pagan cavalry on the Peach Blossom Stone that launched a general attack! Abdul thought to himself: The Qarakhanids who stood in front (not actually the Qarakhanids, but the Ghulam of Sanjar could not tell the difference) were too cowardly, and they fled without engaging a fight, so they were worthy of Allah and the Prophet? Is it worthy of the saints who traveled thousands of miles from Persia and the Great Eclipse more than a hundred years ago to help the Qarakhanid Dynasty conquer the Peach Blossom Stone?

Full of anger and uncontrollable, Abdul, who had been commanding the troops to fight hard and transfer on the plateau for days, shouted to the Ghulam soldiers around him with a hoarse voice: "Assign people to form a team of overseers, no matter who they are, as long as they take half a step back, they will be beheaded!" Tell the teams to have the archers shoot their arrows and shoot those cowards and apostates! ”

Most of Abdul's personal soldiers behind Ghulam took the order. Abdul himself, surrounded by the remaining Ghulam warriors, turned on his horse, and then rode up a nearby high slope to see all the situation on the battlefield.

It was only when he had climbed the high slope that Abdul realized why the armed refugees in front of him had fled desperately. It turned out that it was not the infidel cavalry that rushed at them, but countless frightened yaks.

Refugees who have no fortifications to rely on, who don't even have deer to reject horses, and who don't even have spears of sufficient length, are simply sent to death in vain in the face of these countless running oxen!

However, Abdul also knows that he must not be soft-hearted, and must mercilessly block those refugees who are desperate.

Because only by using their bodies to block the impact of the mad cow can these armed refugees under their command die a well-deserved death.

As for surviving...... The emir and Aslan Khan didn't have enough rations for them! They had to go hundreds of miles hungry to get to the city of Herat before they could have food! The only thing you can rely on on on is Allah!

Many of the armed refugees under Abdul's command carried bows and arrows, and they were not stubborn horn bows, let alone buffalo horn bows, but the most ordinary wooden bows, which could be used.

Under the orders of the Ghulam warriors under the command of the overseer, all the archers took up their wooden bows, and without any organization, they began to shoot arrows haphazardly. When the first wave of arrows was fired, the armed refugees in front of them had not even come into range. Some of them were startled by the feathered arrows falling from the air, and their steps were slightly paused, but many more were still covered with their heads covered and furious.

No matter how terrible the bow and arrow are, it is not as good as tens of thousands of runaway and violent bulls!

Desperately running here and shooting arrows without hesitation over there! Two or three thousand wooden bows under the command of the Ghulam warriors fired in a burst of fire, almost sweeping away the armed refugees who rushed to the front!

However, the refugees in the back row quickly filled the vacant positions in the front. Still straight ahead, not one glanced at their fallen companions, not one slowed down slightly. They just ran frantically at a faster pace, as if they would have a glimmer of life if they ran into the group of armed refugees in front of them, who were also from Kashgar.

Soon, the second wave of feather arrows came into the sky again, and landed in the crowd of people who were running wildly, for the unarmored armed refugees, these arrows were simply the scythe of death that harvested life, and in the blink of an eye, they shot over many people.

When the third wave of arrows was fired, Abdul's armed refugees also realized that something was wrong. They saw through the sand and dust in the sky, and they also saw the cattle running wildly!

This is simply the most terrible scene, the result of being trampled and hit by the herd, it is death! Even if they don't die, the pagan knights who follow the herd behind the herd will not hesitate to harvest everyone's lives.

The team began to waver, and many people turned and ran, but before they had run a few steps, they were pierced by several feathered arrows that had been shot from somewhere, and they fell to the ground and howled in pain.

It turned out that there was also a group of Ghulam cavalry supervising the battle in their rear, everyone with bows and arrows, and whoever dared to take half a step back would be mercilessly shot by them!

The frightened refugees had no choice but to turn back and try to fend off another group of refugees who were rushing wildly, oh, not only refugees, but also many Ghulam warriors, who were also in charge of overseeing the battle. However, in the face of countless rushing mad cows, even they are not willing to die in vain.

The Ghulam warriors were all armoured, and the soft bows of the refugees were not very lethal to them. Therefore, almost all of the dozens of Gulam warriors rushed to the front line, and in the face of the believers of the Heavenly Fang Sect, they would not be soft-hearted in the slightest, and directly took off the spears on their shoulders and launched a pistol charge.

In the blink of an eye, these Ghulam warriors had crashed into the refugee formation, they shouted wildly, brandished their carbines vigorously, swept and stabbed, and fought their way through the blood. They were followed by more crazy armed refugees, armed with weapons and desperate to kill.

One side is desperate to rush, and the other side has no intention of fighting at all.

Under the collision between the two sides, the results speak for themselves. The second group of refugees commanded by Abdul collapsed at the first touch. Including Abdul himself, everyone ran like the refugees in the first wave......

However, it was a short period of blocking and sluggishness that caused the frightened yak herd to crash into the back of the refugee herd.

Some armed refugees also turned to fend off the frenzied running bulls, only to find that the yaks rushing to the front were all "advancing like a wall", and it turned out to be a group of three or four cows, with long logs stuck around their necks and firecrackers tied to their tails. The frightened bull had to cover his head and rush forward, and the force of the impact was almost comparable to that of a tank. Even if a desperate warrior stabs one to death with a spear, the remaining three yaks can still rush forward with the dead yak and trample the warriors who stand in their way into pulp.

And how can these armed refugees have the martial arts to kill a running bull? The desperate resistance was soon crushed by the herd of cattle that "went on like a wall". Under the tremendous impact of the Brute Bull Formation, the armed refugees who were running slower were all knocked over and trampled into pulp.

Those who run slowly become puree, and those who run fast are not much better. A large crowd of people were huddled together, all running wildly, trampling on each other, and still on the damned plateau, all tired people. Anyone who falls usually can't get up. There were many people who didn't need anyone to touch him and hit him, and they couldn't breathe when they ran and ran, so they fell silently.

Those who did not fall were soon attacked by a third wave of arrows fired by armed refugees......

……

"Breakthrough!"

"Broke through two ......"

"The third formation is also coming soon."

"I don't know how many formations I can break?"

"Four or five formations...... After all, the frightened bull is not a wolf pack, and when the brute force of this stock is finished, it will not rush again, and it will not move at that time. ”

"It's okay, and our cavalry! Just send one or two thousand cavalry to drive those refugees away! When this man panics, he is much more powerful than a herd. ”

"What a sin, good people, who were actually used as a meat shield by Aslan Khan, the faint king."

At the same time, on the Song Jun's side, Zhang Yuan, Ma Zheng, and Zhao Zhongshun were discussing Aslan Khan's crimes with the most painful feelings.

"Chief Military Aircraft," Zhang Yuan turned around, "Can you let the brigade follow up?" You should be able to storm the Alai Pass today, right? ”

"Returning to the Great Teaching!" Ma Zheng saluted, "We must rush into the Alai Pass today!" Because of the high mountain battle, it is necessary to fight in one go! ”

The altitude of the mountains was too high, and neither of the two armies living in the plains had the physical strength to fight for a long time.

Now it's a battle of cold weapons, and it's all manual work. Walking on the plateau at an altitude of 4,000 meters is panting, let alone putting on twenty or thirty pounds of semi-armor (full armor can't be worn), and then carrying more than a dozen pounds of weapons to fight? It's not easy to have the physical strength to fight for a while. Two or three formations, the Tibetans may be able to, but neither the Han nor the Turks can do it.

"Good!" Zhang Yuan nodded heavily, "Then order the three armies, in today's battle, there is no advance or retreat, there is victory and no defeat, and you must work hard to annihilate the thieves!" ”

"Whoa!"

Ma Zheng and Zhao Zhongshun both received orders.

It's really easy for Zhang Yuan to be a military strategist, just shout slogans and give orders. The machine room of the General Army had already arranged everything, and there was no need for him to make any specific arrangements.

As soon as the military order was given, the soldiers who had been ready for a long time began to march for the first time. The first to be promoted were the first and second generals of the infantry of the indoctrination regiment commanded by Yu Tongdao. Eight or nine thousand soldiers, all of them half-armed, marched in formation. This was followed by 3 Hexi cavalry generals commanded by Xiao Heda, about 9,000 lancers, all wearing half armor, forming 30 battalion-level phalanxes of 300 people. First time!

Once Yu Tongdao's infantry broke through the Turkic-Qarakhanid defense line at the Alai Pass, the way for the cavalry to charge was opened. Xiao Heda will command 8,000 Hexi lancers to charge!

This is a plateau at an altitude of 4,000 meters, and everything you ride and shoot is floating clouds. It is impossible to use the technique of juggling on horseback against the charging lancers, and people can stand it, and even the war horse under the crotch can't do it. So it's a hammer deal, a gun ride! If these 8,000 Hexi spearmen can succeed, then the more than 1,600 knights of the Indoctrination Regiment and all the auxiliary cavalry commanded by Chen Jian will launch the final charge.

If Xiao Heda's charge fails, then the cavalry commanded by Chen Jian will have to be responsible for breaking the rear......
