Section 1,000 I caught a big fish

Tang Cai was not in a hurry to attack, first scattered bows and arrows, rockets and heavy rockets, shot through and burst the thatched huts, through the fence, and the enemies they encountered face to face shot straight down, shooting them down with rows of dense bows and arrows.

Those enemies, with wolf flags, are dressed in familiar clothes: Turks!

Sure enough, the Turks were so powerful that their horses jumped over the fence!

Immediately encountered the "warm hospitality" of the Tang cavalry, countless arrows shot at him from all directions, those Tang cavalry were all old, cooperating with each other, bows and arrows made the tribesmen unable to guard against it.

After a round of arrows, it seemed that there were no people in the village, Tang Qi rushed forward, some people threw out the lasso, lassoed the fence pole, accelerated away, and suddenly pulled, the fence was torn over a large area.

Tang cavalry immediately rushed in from the gap, and suddenly, a group of tribal cavalry from the corner that could not be seen outside rushed up to meet the battle, and for a time the sound of sabre collision and fighting was loud, and from time to time there were strange whistling of bows and arrows and the screams of people, and the horses neighed constantly, and there was a mess.

The Tang soldiers and horses continued to pour in like a flood, and the few tribal cavalry were soon swept by a large number of men and horses and swallowed up into the tide of men and horses.

The horsemen on the left and right flanks also broke through the barrier and rushed in, under the gray sky, between the old houses, the sky was bright, and rockets were thrown onto the roofs. Torches were thrown around, and a fire ignited in a few moments, and thick smoke billowed from the village.

"Rumbling ......" The roar of horses' hooves sounded loudly in the thick smoke, and only the soldiers of the Tang Army were seen on the road.

A dog barks with its tail and runs out of a burning room. A knight of the Tang Army leaned sideways on the back of a galloping horse, drew his bow and fired an arrow with a "snap", and the dog barked and fell to the ground.

Many tribesmen rode bare-bellied horses (bareback) and frantically escaped from the road without the impact of the Tang horse, and the Tang horse chased and killed them behind, chasing them to the point that the chickens and dogs jumped, and the chase was a knife, and the screams sounded from time to time on the road.

The tribesmen who rushed forward saw that there was hope of escape, but soon despair rose.

Don Ride of the Brigade Ahead!

They shot at the tribesmen, and the tribal knights rushed fast and relatively fast, and they were all shot down!

In less than half an hour, the large village was reduced to a smoky ruin, with corpses everywhere and a smell of burnt paste in the air.

There was no wealth, but there were a lot of cattle, horses, sheep and livestock, and Tang Qi drove them with joy, preparing for a good tooth sacrifice.

All the live animals they had brought with them had been eaten, and now that they had replenishment, it was certainly better to eat alive than to bring food.

The soldiers were happy, and Swanchao was even more happy, because the captured captives, after interrogation, confessed that they were from the Khazar Khanate!

Wei Xi's soldiers have a variety of skills, and according to the skills, they are given corresponding subsidies, among them, "foreign language" is a skill.

Communication begins with language, and knowing a foreign language is conducive to the great cause of our army, and it is appropriate to raise salaries.

This time, it was a young man dressed in Chinese-style silk who fell into the hands of the Tang horseman, who seemed to be unfamiliar with the world and was in shock, but Yue Kang, the "lieutenant" (junior officer) of the Tang army who could speak Turkic, brought him tea, talked to him in Turkic, and quickly came up with a lot of useful information.

The young man's name was Konladan, and he was indeed a Turkic who belonged to the "Turkic Khazar Department" of the Western Turks, and they established a powerful Khazar Khanate on the shores of the Black Sea, also translated as the "Khazar Empire".

They used the Turkic language, but they were forced to move westward because the Tang Empire destroyed the Western Turks, and the Khazar Empire was a vassal state of the Western Turks, or during the westward expansion of the Huns, they moved from Central Asia to the steppes of South Russia, just like the Bolgars.

However, it doesn't really matter what the historical truth is.

"How many of you are there?" Yue Kang asked.

That's right, Yue Kang has seen the world, a year ago he went to Samara, the capital of the Khazar Khanate, with a tribal delegation, and he boasted that there was the Great Khan's Golden Horde, millions of livestock, and hundreds of thousands of people!

"We rode horses, and we kept changing horses halfway and walked for ten days!"

"There are a lot of people, and the further east you go, the more people there are!"

It sounds like it's showing off, or it's an attempt to intimidate the Don people.

But after repeated interrogation, Yue Kang also invited Kang Ladan to drink, and the young man who was not strong enough to drink was confused, and he said everything, anyway, there were many people, Ma Duo, it should be the truth.

It turns out that the Khazar Khanate is located in the Ukrainian/South Russian steppe near the Black Sea, which is different from the arid and cold Asian steppe, the Ukrainian/South Russian steppe with lower latitude and relatively more precipitation has much better congenital conditions, and the "black soil" formed by humus for millions of years is also the most fertile soil on this planet. Then there are the rivers that collect rainwater from the central part of the Eastern European Plain, such as the Volga, Don, Dnieper, etc., which nourish the pastures on the banks of the long banks, and make the Khazar Khanate prosperous!

Yue Kang calculated carefully, and broke out in a cold sweat, I can't figure out that this Khazar Khanate has more than 400,000 strings!

It was terrifying that there were 100,000 Turkic cavalry, and 400,000 troops were dispatched. ”

However, he told Shi Wanchao the news, and Shi Wanchao was not only not afraid, but excited.

"Okay, the more people there are, the easier it is to kill!" Shi Wanchao ordered to urge the rear team to come and accept the prisoners and livestock, and he led 10,000 horsemen to continue to rush forward!

In ten days, his cavalry advanced five hundred kilometers!

Along the way, the head of the slaughter rolled down, encountered a small tribe, Tang cavalry directly rolled over, if it was a big one, it often advanced to the periphery of the tribe in the darkest time before sunrise, and when the morning dawn rose, immediately sent troops to attack the tribe!

The other party was caught off guard, and they were all attacked by him.

Black smoke billowed from the prairie, the people of the steppe were weeping and becoming slaves, and the tribal warriors who resisted all fell in a pool of blood!

I have to say that Shi Wanchao's rapid advance received excellent results in the early stage, and the people of the Khazar Khanate never dreamed that they would sit at home, and disaster would fall from the sky, and someone would dare to be so bright and pounce so violently, and many people were killed by Shi Wanchao, at least 100,000 people were killed or reduced to slavery by him, and more than 500,000 livestock were obtained!

However, as he continued to advance, Shi Wanchao advanced too quickly, and the disadvantage of insufficient troops appeared, and he now had only more than 4,000 people, and the rest went to take care of the spoils.

His staff officers expressed concern, thinking that everyone was tired and tired, but his subordinates were in a frenzy, believing too much in Shi Wanchao's aura, and as a result, they hit the iron plate!

Almost at noon, when the Tang cavalry had already slackened, there was a rumbling sound of iron hooves in the distance, and then, a large number of tribal cavalry emerged in the dense grass pile, like a flood opening the floodgates, surging in.

As soon as Shi Wanchao saw it, he made a judgment in an instant - in the face of the ambush, the army was defeated and invincible!

People are tired, they can't run, there are many people on the other side, and they can't win!

Surrender, that's impossible!

For the first time in history, Shi Wanchao ordered: "Get off the horse and prepare for war!" ”
