Chapter 567: The Camel and the Grim Reaper
Chapter 567: The Camel and the Grim Reaper
Moonblade Wind Chaser? Fang Yiai has never heard of it, but he has heard of a group of skin-peeling and wind-resisting people under Helu's hands, but that is also in the TV series.
"Li Mu, Huang Zhen, tighten the formation, prepare the bow and crossbow, and shoot in three stages!" Fang Yiai also has a way to deal with the cavalry, the three-column crossbowmen are equivalent to the three-stage musket of later generations, are you still afraid of this group of black-robed people who pretend to be ghosts.
Fang Yiai thought very well, but it was not the same thing as soon as the fight started, I saw that these black-robed people were very separated, and they also formed a herringbone cone-shaped team. These black-robed men were obviously very good at controlling the horses, and they were attached to the horses, but the formation was not chaotic at all.
Crossbow arrows flew out, hundreds of crossbow arrows, and only a dozen people were shot down sporadically, with such an effect, this defense line would be broken through sooner or later.
Sure enough, when the first line of defense was broken, the soldiers in front of them directly became the ghosts of the black-robed people's swords, as for the shield soldiers, they did not play their due role at all, these black-robed people controlled the horses skillfully, and as soon as they lifted the reins, the horses jumped over the heads of the shield soldiers.
The cold sweat on Fang Yiai's forehead continued to seep out, no wonder Mo Qishi's expression was so frightened, it seemed that this group of black-robed people were really hard stubble. After suffering a loss, Fang Yiai didn't want his brothers to go up, and now he can only find a way to distance himself from the black-robed man, what should he do?
Stepping on the ground, Fang Yiai obviously felt a little different, why did the black-robed man wait until now to start?
As soon as he thought of this, Fang Yiai's face immediately changed a few times, and he waved his hand to Li Mu in front of him and shouted, "Don't meet the enemy, give the general to retreat, retreat, we will retreat to the depths of the desert." ”
Fang Yiai had no brains under this order, although he didn't know what was going on, Li Mu still waved his hand and led Huang Zhen's men and horses towards the rear team, which directly became the rear team and the front team, and a group of people rushed over the long snake formation. If you usually set up this kind of long snake formation to escape, it would be tantamount to looking for death, but this time it was different, those black-robed people ran away when they saw this group of people turn around, and they shouted in a hurry.
Zheriye also frowned deeply, he reached out and took off the black cloth on his face, "These Han people are very smart!" ”
"General Cherier, what should we do now, shall we chase after it?" A scimitar man asked a little unwillingly.
"What are you chasing, our horses have entered the desert, are they still coming out?" Zherier jumped off his horse and kicked the corpses under his feet fiercely, leaving hundreds of corpses behind after so many days, which was too ineffective.
Seeing that the black-robed man really didn't chase in, Fang Yiai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that he really made the right bet, otherwise he would have become the first fool to play the long snake formation in the face of the cavalry.
"Major General, what should I do?" Although the black-robed man didn't catch up, Li Mu wasn't happy at all, and others didn't have to fight, just guarded. It's good to say during the day, but at night, people who don't freeze to death in this big desert can play with the dead.
"Well, Li Mu, don't worry, there's always a way!"
Fang Yiai cheered for Li Mu, but his heart was beating hard, grandma is a bear, this Turkic person will also play scoundrels, and he has the ability to rush in and fight to the death, is it a skill to bully the infantry with cavalry? In normal times, Fang Yiai is not afraid, it's a big deal to form a spear array to stab this group of birdmen, but in this big desert, how can there be a place for him to form a spear array. The spear array is powerful, but it is also because of its oppressive surname, but in the face of this group of slippery black-robed knights, Fang Yiai is not sure that he can exert the power of the spear array.
"Mo Qishi, where did this group of black-robed people come from, and why are they so difficult?"
"General Hui, this sword chaser was founded by Zheriye, in the early years, Zheriye was a bandit across the desert, and he had a deep study of the way to survive in this desert. Later, after the Lulu Khan took power, Zheriye led the people to submit and was assigned to the Left Guard Division. Almost every year over the years, Zheriye has led people to travel through the desert for two months, so we Turks have nicknamed them the Desert Reaper! ”
What Desert Reaper? Egyptian kobolds? Fang Yiai will not be frightened, isn't it just a group of desert special forces, and there is no decent desert in Datang, otherwise the Dragon and Tiger Guards would have been trained into a desert butcher.
Disdain is disdainful, but you have to find a way to rush out, as long as you pass here, you can enter the Tarim River Valley, then you will have to eat sand all day. What to do? Fang Yiai's brows furrowed together, Wen Luo kept pulling his curly hair on the side, it was really enough, he finally knew what it meant to collapse at the touch of a button, and more than 10,000 people ran so fast in the face of such a little black-robed ghost.
I opened my mind, but I felt a little cool, and looked up at the setting in the west, which was already as red as a flame.
Looking at the red clouds on the horizon, a thought suddenly flashed in Fang Yiai's mind, isn't the reason why he is afraid of the men and horses of Zheriye is because he can't stop their attack, if there is something that can impact the scimitar cavalry of Zheriye? Thinking of this, Fang Yiai and his eyes looked at the camel resting on the sand.
"Li Mu, how many camels do we have?"
"General Hui, there are about 600 camels, but they are all carrying things!"
Li Mu and his eyes were stunned, looking at the general's expression, didn't he want to brush the camel? Sure enough, as soon as Li Mu thought of this, Fang Yiai waved his hand and said, "Go, take the things off, carry them separately, and then gather the camels, twenty heads in a row, and connect the reins together!" ”
Li Mu was a little reluctant, without the camel, wouldn't the speed of this march be slower? He scratched his head and said with a bitter face, "Young General, can this work, without camels, we will be even more passive!" ”
"Don't worry, Ben will have his own way, as long as he can break out of the blockade of Zheriye, can't so many of us still get his cavalry?" Fang Yiai has full confidence, as long as he has enough time to form a spear formation, he is allowed to let Zheriye kneel down and call grandpa.
Li Mu had no choice, so he had to beckon someone to take off the things on the camel, Fang Yiai was preparing here, and Zheriena was not idle, and the scout spies sent batch after batch.
"General Zheliye, the Han people still haven't moved!"
"Hey, is this Han man going to spend the night in the desert?" Zhelier always felt that something was wrong, and these Han people didn't look like fools.
At three o'clock, it was quiet in the desert, and Fang Yiai asked everyone to put out the torches and whistle, and dozens of people touched the back of the first batch of camels. The soldiers each had a stick in their hand, and when Fang Yiai gave the order, they poked the stick directly into the camel's buttocks, and the camels were in pain. It's just that the camels can't speak, if they can speak, they would have opened their mouths to scold this group of unscrupulous humans, poke where it is not good, poke the buttocks, the camels feel very aggrieved, tired for a few days, but they are not chaste.
After a series of "hiss-hiss" chirps, the camels clutched their hooves in pain. Seeing that the time was almost up, Fang Yiai screamed.
"Oh oh oh woo woo" suddenly a sharp wolf howl sounded in the desert, the sound was so real, and so close.
If the camels are afraid of something, of course, they are most afraid of wolves, they can not tell whether the wolf howl is made by people, in short, after a wolf howl, the camels rushed forward like crazy, that momentum, but there is really a feeling of galloping horses.
Seeing that the first batch of camels ran away, Fang Yiai clapped his hands, and made persistent efforts, leading a group of unscrupulous men to poke the buttocks of a group of camels, and when the third batch of camels ran out, Fang Yiai waved his big hand and said softly, "Keep up, let's rush behind the Turks this time!" ”
When he was thinking about how to deal with this group of Han people, he heard a chaotic noise outside the camp tent, and when he went out to look, he saw that the camp was trampled by hundreds of camels. Zherier knew that there was something wrong with his brows, and the cunning Han people, such docile camels, let them take advantage of them.
"Quick, get on the horse, the Han people are going to rush out!" It was still a little late for Zherier to scream, and I saw a group of black people charging bravely behind hundreds of camels, and the most hateful thing was that these people were still learning to bark wolf, so that the camels had no intention of stopping at all.
There was a camel army to open the way, and the scimitar troops of Zherier could not form a defensive formation at all, and it was only half an hour, and tens of thousands of Han troops ran in front of Zherier's eyes, although they left some corpses, but these were still worth it.
Zheliye's face was red and white, but the good situation was damaged by a group of camels, looking at the black sky, Zheriye turned over and yelled, "Chase, this group of Han people must not be allowed to enter the Tarim River!" ”
Zheriye was a clever man, and he knew very well what the consequences would be if he allowed this group of Han Chinese to enter the Tarim River, and now Pu Changhai's army of Golingham did not know the specific situation of the Han people. Because of his overconfidence, he didn't let the scouts go back to report the news, which caused a lot of trouble. Pu Changhai has a total of 8,000 left guard divisions, as the second division of the tiger division, the combat effectiveness is naturally undoubted, but to face more than 10,000 Han strong troops, it is also a little unbearable, not to mention that at the beginning, Golingham and Zheriye did not expect that the Han people would expel so many people, according to their thoughts, the Han people at most sent 5,000 men and horses to contain them.
After the last lesson, Fang Yiai let the shield soldiers be two in a column, one side of the shield facing outwards and the other facing inward, so that even if the Turks crossed the shield soldiers, they could not cause too much damage to the shield soldiers.
There are four rows of shield soldiers outside, the long strong hand is in the center, and the crossbowman is inside, Fang Yiai wants to teach this group of black-robed men a good lesson tonight, if you don't give them some color to see, this group of people really regard themselves as invincible.
Zheriye's speed was not slow, and he soon led the cavalry to chase after him, and he couldn't see clearly in the night, so he had to rely on his experience to order, "Spread out, be careful of the Han people's crossbow arrows, in addition, the second team of men and horses should not fight, once they cross the Han formation, immediately rush to Puchanghai, and inform Lord Golinghan to lead the army to retreat to the end of the river!" ”
"Yes!" The commander of the second team did not dare to slack off, and he also understood that if he did not retreat in time, Pu Changhai's army of the Left Guard Division was very likely to be cut off by the Han Chinese.
The night is like ink, the torches are flickering, the scimitar knights are as cold as ice, the spear array is just around the corner, and a great battle between cavalry and infantry is about to break out.
"Rush!" With a flick of the scimitar, the knights rushed over, and they tried to dodge the crossbow arrows of the Han people on the back of their horses, but after rushing for hundreds of zhang, the crossbow arrows of the Han people did not come for a long time.
Looking along the torches, the knights saw the shieldmen crouching on the ground like turtle shells, and with a flick of the reins, the horses leaped over the first line of shieldmen, and with a flick of the reins, they leaped over the second row. Just as the knights were rejoicing, the Han people's counterattack also began.
First of all, there were rows of crossbow arrows, and this time they did not shoot people, but aimed at horses, and in an instant, dozens of Turks who entered the gun formation fell, and as soon as these people fell to the ground, they were poked into a sieve by spears.
It was almost a rehearsal of death, and the knights who came later did not escape the fate of being trapped, they wanted to cut off the shield soldiers first, but this time the Han people learned smartly, not only put the shield outside, but also put a layer inside, in the face of these people, the knights were like facing a group of iron kings.
Before the Han people's big array broke through, they fell hundreds of people, Zheriye couldn't afford it, he waved his hand, and gave an order to retreat, the black-robed man wanted to escape, Fang Yiai really didn't have any way, no matter how fast these two legs were, they could still run over a four-legged horse?
