"Trapped in a horse trap? Zhao Jun! Why is Zhao Jun here?" Arruda looked at his own soldiers who were wailing and screaming, and his eyes suddenly became blank.
"Come here, kill all the spies who were in charge of front-line intelligence! A bunch of bastards, Zhao Jun set up an ambush again, and you actually reported to the general that there was nothing unusual. Damn it! Damn it!" Both sides of Arruda turned red and shouted sternly.
That¡¯s right, the horse trap is what stumbles the advancing Turkic cavalry horses. The Turkic cavalry who followed later also encountered the same misfortune. The seemingly flat grassland was actually dotted with disorderly horse traps. The Turkic cavalry who were rushing forward were unprepared and ran into the horse traps. Array. Suddenly everyone was on their backs, and of course the thousands of archers couldn't be idle. He had already regarded the chaotic enemy cavalry as a living target for practicing his shooting skills, and easily killed him
"Send the order, advance, stop advancing, and respond with mounted fire!"
"Agil, you lead people to kill from both sides towards the hill. You must clear the ambushes on both sides for my general."
However, after Aruda¡¯s military order was issued, the Zhao troops on both sides immediately disappeared and retreated. The archers in front also retreated after shooting the rain of arrows in their hands, leaving corpses on the ground.
"Report to the general, the enemy troops have evacuated!"
"My general orders us to pass through this place quickly. The forwards spread out and use a few cavalry as scouts to check whether there are any horse traps on the ground." Arruda ordered with a livid face.
When we were about to reach Dalinggou, suddenly soldiers from the vanguard came to report that there was a camp of Zhao troops stationed at the exit in front of Dalinggou.
Arruda was startled and thought: When will the Zhao army set up camp here?
"how many people?"
"General Qi, there are more than a thousand people."
"The rest of them? Do they want to stop my general from advancing? Send my order to my general to rush over quickly. If the Zhao army does not go out to fight, ignore it. If they want to block the car with their arms, then annihilate them quickly."
This Dagouling is a flat piece of land that can accommodate thousands of horses galloping. Although the end is slightly narrow, it is not an extremely dangerous place. When the Turkic army arrived at the exit, Zhao Jun had already formed a formation to block the way of the Turkic army. This Zhao army, all wearing heavy armor and hooded helmets, stood at the exit of Damagou. There were about 400 people in the front row, lined up in front of the formation.
"Heavy armored infantry?" Arruda frowned. Although the opponent's soldiers restrained his own cavalry, he did not feel afraid. After all, we have more than 10,000 troops on our side and only a thousand on the other side. With such a small force, you want to stop my cavalry?
"Rush over and ignore them!"
The coach gave the order, and the Turkic knights immediately let out sharp howls and swarmed forward, and the bows and arrows in the knights' hands immediately came into play.
A sharp arrow flew towards the Zhao army. However, Zhao Jun did not panic. He saw that the people in the front row suddenly retreated, and the people in the back row immediately took a step forward. Inadvertently changed the formation. Everyone held a giant shield as tall as a person in their hands. They shouted in unison and smashed the shield on the ground. The edge of the shield is sharp and sinks into the earth. In an instant, a row of solid shield walls suddenly appeared.
Immediately afterwards, sharp spears were inserted from the holes in the upper part of the shield, forming a stable triangle with the shield. Rows of sharp spikes immediately appeared on the surface of the large shield. These spikes were naturally the spear heads. As long as the enemy collides with it, it will only survive at most one breath. The soldiers put their shoulders behind the big shield to stabilize the shield so that it could block the enemy cavalry's charge. Of course, they are also responsible for killing the cavalry on the war horses.
Precisely because of this, these heavy armored soldiers have become the most difficult branch to choose. Not only do they require martial arts, but their physique and strength are also very important. Behind the shield is a special long sword specially made by the general camp. It is all five feet long, extremely sharp, weighs twenty-five kilograms, and has extremely lethal power. It cannot be used by those with strong martial arts skills and strong physiques.
Seeing that there was still a hundred and fifty steps away, the Zhao army archers behind the shield began to fight back. Thousands of archers in several rows all use hard bows of about three stones. The arrows have been modified and have a health tank, and their penetrating power is very powerful.
Three to four hundred of the Turkic cavalry who rushed at the front fell instantly in one round. The horses neighed, the knights wailed, the horses' hooves trampled over the wounded, and the entire formation couldn't help but stagnate. In the distance of one hundred and fifty steps, hundreds of people fell. The dead, the blood, and the whine of the war horses, instead of stopping the Turkic cavalry from advancing, made them even more ferocious.
In a war, how can one not die? Although companions kept falling off their horses, the Turkic cavalry did not stop there. Seeing that Zhao Jun was approaching thirty steps, all the bows and arrows of Zhao JunThe hand suddenly lowered the bow. Pick up the crossbow from the ground and take a step forward. Crossbow bolts flew out from the gaps in the shield.
The crossbow bolts, which made a harsh buzzing sound, penetrated into the bodies of the horses and knights with huge penetrating power, triggering a series of shrill screams. Blood splattered and reflected strangely brightly in the sunlight. The weeds on the roadside. Instantly dyed red.
"Keep shooting, take turns don't stop!"
Rows of archers instantly turned into crossbowmen. After one round of shooting, the second row of crossbowmen followed.
Although the distance was only thirty steps, the Turkic cavalry suffered heavy losses. But if you want to pass here, you must break through this line of defense. Some cavalrymen who had escaped the crossbow bolts rushed forward, but they were unable to break through the shield wall formed by the large shield. The long thorn on the shield is more than a foot long. It immediately penetrated the body of the war horse, causing shrill screams. Many cavalrymen jumped into the air as their horses collided with the giant shield, and flew down behind the shield in an instant. But immediately afterwards, he was stabbed to death by Zhao Jun.
Arruda in the rear was a little confusedand didn't know what to do. He was confused, but the cavalry under his command were not confused. Continue to launch ferocious attacks forward.
That iron shield kept shaking back and forth. Spears protruded from the gaps between the shots. Chang Ge, either stabbing or sweeping, left corpses in front of the shield wall. It is impossible to calculate how many people died in front of the shield wall. In short, a steady stream of cavalry charged forward, all crowded on the river, making the originally spacious place suddenly become very crowded.
Facing rounds of cavalry attacks, Zhao Jun retreated slowly but regularly. With every step taken, dozens or hundreds of corpses would fall into a pool of blood. As time went by, Arruda's troops gradually gained an advantage. It was also because of this that Arruda roared and ordered his soldiers to charge forward.
"General Zhang, it's almost over. The Turkic army has been attracted by us. It's time for Captain Nangong and others to rush out." At the mouth of the valley, Captain Tang Niu said to the first town deputy general Zhang Ju.
Zhang Ju looked at the enemy troops opposite, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It's almost time, give orders to Nangong Hao and the others!"
¡°Woo woo woo¡¡±
Suddenly, a blast of horns came from Zhao Jun¡¯s formation.
Immediately afterwards, from the rear of the valley, that is, from the side and rear of the Turkic army, a trumpet sound suddenly sounded in response.
"Huh? What's going on? Behind us" Turkic forward general Arruda was startled. When he heard Zhao Jun blowing the horn in front, he felt a little bit bad. But the answering horn sound behind him made his whole body shiver.
"Reportgeneralsomething bad has happened! Behind our army, two cavalrymen under the banner of Zhao Army suddenly shot out. At this moment, they are rushing towards our rear army formation." At this moment, a knight hurried forward. Come report.
"Damn it, Zhao Jun has an ambush behind him!" The Turkic general Arruda suddenly exclaimed.
In an instant, as the sound of "rumbling" sounded, two cavalry armies came out from behind and on both sides, and entered the formation of the Turkic army from the rear. The leading general, holding a hundred-refined steel spear, shouted fiercely, and like cutting through the waves, he came towards the general Arruda who was standing under the banner to kill him.
The Turkic cavalry in front were also startled by this sudden attack. They didn't know what happened behind them. Before they could react, they saw the shield hand suddenly pull out his long knife and overturned the shield. All the archers, holding round shields and swords, rushed towards the cavalry formation.
?????????????????? But I saw the long sword roaring with cold light. The infantry in front raised their long swords and let out earth-shattering shouts, which actually forced the Turkic cavalry to retreat continuously. The Turkic cavalry's scimitars and arrows slashed at Zhao Jun's heavy armor, leaving only a "boom boom" sound and some white marks, which could not bring any harm to these Zhao soldiers wearing heavy armor. damage.
Like a team of bulldozers rushing through the chaos, the cold light flashed, and puffs of hot blood splashed into the air, just like flowers blooming in the spring breeze. The ground has long since become muddy because it was soaked with blood
Seeing that the situation was not good, Arruda, who was in the middle army, was about to gather his troops and form a formation to fight again. This was also a big mistake he made. From the beginning, the entire army was in a hurry to rush out of the valley and failed to form a riding formation. So when they encountered a sudden attack, they were all in chaos.
There¡¯s chaos ahead, and it¡¯s even worse behind the scenes. The Turkic army was all concentrated together, completely losing speed. What's more, now Zhao Jun's sneak attack is coming from behind him?
"Quickly quickly change direction and fight from behind!" The voices of Turkic officers came and went, but they were unable to cope with the situation in front of them. The incoming Zhao cavalry consisted of Zhao soldiers and warriors from the nine tribes. But they are all wearing Zhao Jun uniforms and red shirts.Flame unicorn flag. The red tassels tell all enemies that they are Sergeants Zhao. One after another, like red waves, the sky and the earth are covered with red
"You are thinking of fighting now? It's too late!" Nangong Hao took the lead, looked at the panicked Turkic cavalry, and sneered secretly.
Let the enemy slow down at Weizi Lake and relax. An ambush was set up at the entrance of the valley to provoke these Turkic cavalry, and an ambush was set up at the exit to induce all enemy troops to move forward and fall into the valley. The last step was to attack from both front and back, completely swallowing up the forward army of the Turkic army.
Nangong Hao looked around, raised his hand, and said solemnly, "Brothers, put away your swords and prepare to throw spears! Let these Turkic enemies see how powerful I, Zhao, am in throwing spears!"
"Clang"
The continuous sound of iron tools grinding was heard. Among the two sneak attack armies, more than a thousand cavalrymen in front sheathed their horizontal knives. Each of them drew a sharp throwing spear from the back of the saddle and held it in his hand. The remaining sharp spears cast a dazzling cold light against the setting sun, like more than a thousand cruel hungry wolves, opening their bloody mouths to reveal their sharp and ferocious fangs.
"rush¡¡"
General Nangong Hao threw his spear forward, and more than a thousand Zhao cavalry rode forward one after another to cover up the enemy troops in front. Followed closely by 3,009 cavalry. The Turkic cavalry on the opposite side reluctantly turned their horses and faced them.
The two groups of cavalry approached quickly, and a cruel murderous intent ignited in Nangong Hao's eyes. In an instant, Nangong Hao's loud and shrill roar echoed through the sky.
"Projection" Nangong Hao ordered.
"Instigating and abetting"
In an instant, there was a continuous sound of breaking through the air, and more than a thousand sharp spears flew out of the Zhao cavalry formation, drawing vague and weird curves in the air. The spear formations intertwined into a cold formation, flying over the heads of the Turkic cavalry in an instant, and finally fell down with the icy coldness of death
"ah¡¡"
Why did the centurion use his scimitar to block one of the spears, but the second spear followed closely and pierced into his chest. The sharp three-edged spear blade easily cut open the centurion's muscle tissue and The bones penetrated the fragile body.
"Uh-huh"
A Turkic cavalryman was stabbed by two spears at the same time. He was carried up by the roaring spears, flew away from the horse, and finally landed on the ground a few meters behind. Before he could fully land on the ground, the cavalry behind him came like a tide and trampled over him irresistibly. Poor man, his head was crushed to pieces before he could even struggle. His bloody body twitched twice and then fell silent. , no more sound
"Puff puff¡¡"
"ah¡¡"
In an instant, the sound of sharp weapons cutting flesh and blood and screams intertwined together. More than a thousand volleying spears landed on the ground and caused tragic damage to the cavalry behind the Turkic army. In an instant, more than five or six hundred cavalry were flipped from their horses. When he fell from the top, he was either trampled to pieces by his companions, or his neck and leg bones were broken, completely losing his fighting power.
"Draw your sword and fight"
Nangong Hao let out a long howl, replaced the spear with his left hand, raised it high above his head, stepped on the stirrups with his feet and stood up straight from the horse. In a blink of an eye, the two horses crossed each other, and the sharp spears shot like cold stars, killing several Turkic cavalry in an instant.
"Ding¡¡"
"when¡¡
"Pfft"
"Well¡¡"
The sounds of weapons clashing, bones shattering, and screams intertwined once again. The two cavalry troops collided fiercely like two torrents, and a brilliant spray of blood suddenly appeared. The two cavalry troops merged and then separated. As they passed by, hundreds of corpses were already lying on the ground, and nearly a hundred ownerless war horses neighed sadly and fled into the distance in terror.
At the same time, at the exit of the valley, more than a thousand cavalry rushed out, and together with the infantry, they rushed towards the Turkic cavalry front army.
The Zhao army attacked from front to back and charged towards the Chinese army.
Nangong Hao took the lead and pointed directly at the enemy's commander's flag. When the Turkic cavalry was panicking, he rushed under the Chinese army's commander's flag.
With his spear pointed, Nangong Hao stabbed Arruda fiercely, shouting loudly: "Thief chief, take your life!"
Arruda, who was already in a panic, could no longer organize his troops and fought with Nangong Hao with his sword. But in this way, the Turkic army, which lost its command, became even more chaotic.
"Boom" Tang Niu, who was charging from the front, cut off the Chinese army's commander's flag with a knife and shouted to Nangong Hao: "Brother Nangong, Old Tang is here to help you!"
Before Tang Niu could take action, Aluda, who had already been killed by Nangong Hao, was frightened by Tang Niu and was knocked off his horse by Nangong Hao.
"Brother Nangong, the first achievement is yours" Tang Niu laughed.
"There are still so many Turkic cavalry who have not surrendered! Kill them!" Nangong Hao said with joy on his face.
After the battle lasted for more than an hour, it stopped. The entire valley became a cemetery. The Turkic army suffered countless casualties, and about 4,000 people surrendered alive. Only two hundred people escaped. It can be said that the forward of the Turkic army was basically wiped out.
"General Zhang, how to deal with these corpses?"
"My lord has an order. All Turkic enemy troops will be led by the enemy and cast into the capital!"
So, under the command of the general Zhang Ju, the more than 7000 to 8000 Turkic troops who were killed asked the surrendered prisoners to build terrifying giant temples outside the mouth of the valley.
Nangong Hao looked at the dozen or so temples, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and said in a deep voice: "After this battle, we will definitely be able to frighten the Turkic army."
Zhang Ju said quietly: "It is true to scare the Turks, but it may not deter the Turks from going to war. If you don't beat them until they hurt, they will be unable to stand up. They don't know fear."
Nangong Hao smiled and said in a deep voice: "If you don't know fear, then beat them to fear, beat them until their race is exterminated! Look at the soldiers of these nine tribes, haven't they surrendered obediently? They have already been defeated by our power. Overwhelmed, they already know how powerful we are and are afraid that everything they have will be destroyed by us.¡±
"Reporting to the general, our army lost more than 2,500 people in this battle. 800 of them were sergeants of our army, and the remaining 1,700 people were nine cavalrymen. In addition, we captured 6,000 war horses this time. More than three hundred horses."
"Gather the corpses of our brothers, collect the spoils of war, and return to the army!"
Land City, General¡¯s Mansion.
"Okay! Well done! In this battle, the Turkic army lost 15,000 people, which was enough to make them feel distressed for a while." In the hall of the General's Mansion, all the generals laughed heartily.
"However, we will have a full-scale battle with the Turkic army next. Generals and soldiers, please do not be careless, and do not underestimate the Turkic army because of this victory. Don't forget, they are the enemy who have repeatedly invaded the border." Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.
"Of course, we will not be afraid of them now. Today's victory shows that the days of being bullied by the Turkic cavalry are gone forever. From now on, we should change the situation on the border. With us Go bully them."
