    Slowly pulling out his scimitar, An Xida, who was sitting on the horse, pointed forward arrogantly, "Crush them!" In the morning light, the Turkic cavalry began to charge, trot, speed up, run fast, sprint!  Ten thousand cavalrymen rushed over like this. An Xida didn't even divide the attack sequence at all, nor did he arrange for flanking or reserve teams. They just rushed over like a swarm.  For them, there was really no need to arrange any complicated tactics. Ten thousand people rushed directly to crush them. It was simple and crude but practical and effective.  The Han camp at the foot of the mountain was awakened by the rumble of horse hooves. They seemed completely unaware of the Turkic attack.  Panicked and bewildered, they rushed out of the camp screaming, jumping on their horses and fleeing without even having time to put on their clothes.  "Charge, charge, charge, kill them all!" An Xida was fascinated by the scene in front of him. Looking at the embarrassment of those Han people, he felt indescribable satisfaction and pride in his heart.  The Han people ran too fast. They were not willing to fight, so they were frightened and fled away.  The Turkic cavalry easily captured the Han camp, hundreds of horses, and piles of grain and grass.  However, An Xida was not satisfied with such a victory. What he wanted was the bloody heads of the Han people.  "Chase! Don't let anyone go!" An Xida waved his sword and pointed forward, without stopping, he led his troops to continue the chase.  The Han soldiers on horseback had nowhere to escape, and were forced to the foot of the mountain, and finally got into the woods.  An Xida laughed wildly, stupid Nanman, do you think you can escape by getting into the woods and climbing up the mountain?  He galloped in pursuit and even rushed to the front.  Seeing that the Han people disappeared into the forest, he rushed towards the forest without hesitation.  The dense forest is right in front of you, and the trees have long hidden the fleeing Han people.  But he would catch up with them and chop off their heads one by one.  An Xida smiled proudly and didn't even think about anything else. He didn't expect that this might just be a trap.  In the dense forest.  Dou Jiande is leading the army in a tight formation. It is a very difficult task to annihilate the same number of cavalry with infantry.  Of course, that is under conventional tactics, and it is not impossible under unconventional circumstances.  After Dou Jiande and other Chengde Army generals discussed for a long time, they came up with a battle plan.  That is to lure the enemy into an ambush.  To lure them into the forest, Dou Jiande had already asked the engineers to dig several long and deep ditches at the edge of the forest.  And in the woods behind the trench.  It was even densely covered with crossbowmen and heavy crossbows such as cart crossbows, bed crossbows, and three-bow crossbows from the artillery regiment.  Dou Jiande watched with a smile on his face as the Turks rushed over like water pouring down the sea. This sight should have been terrifying, but now, it just made him feel extremely refreshed.  The Turks were so proud that they could never imagine that they were actually charging towards hell at high speed.  "Military leader, these Turkic bastards are so damn easy to deceive, and they don't even raise any suspicion at all." Sun Anzu also laughed so hard that he almost couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. Originally, he was still worried.  After all, their plan was too hasty. The sudden appearance of a thousand soldiers and horses here was always full of doubts. Maybe the Turks would see through their plan if they were more careful, but who knows, it could actually go so smoothly.  "They have had such a smooth journey all the way south. They have not fought a tough battle at all. Therefore, they deserve to underestimate the enemy and be careless." Hao Xiaode was also smiling. Originally, he was opposed to fighting this battle, feeling that 10,000 infantry troops would be used against them.  Ten thousand cavalry is too risky.  Although their infantry consists of horse-mounted infantry and vehicle-mounted infantry, they are not real cavalry after all.  If they win, it will be difficult for them to catch up with the Turkic cavalry, and it will be difficult to expand their victory.  And if they lose, they will not be able to outrun the Turkic cavalry and will probably be annihilated.  They followed Dou Jiande through life and death, and finally Dou Jiande became the leader of an army, holding tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.  They don't want to be here all the time.  However, Dou Jiande insisted on fighting, Sun Anzu and others also supported it, and Hao Xiaode had no choice but to agree.  But things progressed much more smoothly than he imagined. With such a simple trap, people suddenly actually rushed in.  For this, he could only explain it by saying that it was destined by God.  "Get ready!" Dou Jiande was extremely excited, and the hand holding the knife could not help but tremble slightly.  He could imagine that victory in this battle was already beckoning to him.  And how important it was to achieve such a great victory for him who had just become the commander of the Chengde Army.  With such a great victory, he will be able to firmly become the commander of the Chengde army.  At the edge of the woods, the archers and crossbowmen already held bows in their hands, and even the other spearmen and sword and shield bearers also held bows.  The bow and arrow equipment rate of the Huaihuang Army reached 200%, and every soldier was equipped with a bow.  Not only were the longbowmen equipped with powerful longbows, the crossbowmen were equipped with crossbows, but the rest of the soldiers were also equipped with infantry bows.  A longbowman is equipped with two bow backs and five bow strings.  Even the crossbowmen are equipped with double crossbows and double bows.  Although ordinary infantrymen are only equipped with one bow, they canIf everyone holds a bow at the critical moment, it will be quite lethal.  At this time, the infantrymen of the Chengde Army arranged in the woods one after another cocked their arrows and aimed at the Turkic cavalry that was charging towards them.  An Xida was charging very hard and was excited when he suddenly stepped off his horse and lost his front hoof, causing the horse to lose its balance.  With a bang, An Xida had no time to take off his saddle. He and his horse had already fallen into the first trench dug under the guidance of the engineers of the Chengde Army yesterday.  There was a layer of branches and loose soil outside the trench that was seven feet wide. An Xida, who was charging, did not expect or see it at all. He just rode his horse straight up and stepped on it, and then fell into it with a bang.  In the trench, he didn't even have a chance to pick up the saddle and vault the horse. He even fell into the trench with his horse. Then he only had time to let out a scream before he was squeezed into the trench by the war horse and was crushed to death.  An Xida fell into the ditch and died miserably, without helping other Turkic soldiers.  Those Turkic soldiers who were rushing ahead like him had no time to react even if they saw An Xida falling into the trap.  The high-speed charging horses, along with the Turkic soldiers, also fell into the same result as An Xida.  For a moment, you flipped over, and those who rushed the fastest fell into the pit.  Looking at this spectacular scene, Dou Jiande couldn't help but shouted "Hello" loudly.  "Fire the arrows!" Seeing how effective the trench was, Dou Jiande quickly ordered the arrows to be fired.  With a command, arrows shot out like locusts. Countless arrows flew out of the dense forest instantly, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, making the sky and the earth eclipse.  Facing countless bows and arrows, the Turks did not retreat, they were still charging.  An Xida in the front has died in the battle, but the Turks in the back are still rushing forward, although they can already see something happened in front.  But no one stopped the charge.  An Xida died, and the other leaders did not realize how powerful the enemy on the opposite side would be. They were just frightened, followed by anger, and then the anger went to their heads, or they did not realize that the woods were not where they were originally.  The thousand people who knew it didn't realize it was a trap.  Or rather, someone realized it.  But in this group charge, the supreme commander was killed again, and the Turks' charge temporarily lost control.  The first trench was quickly filled, then the second, and then the third.  The Turks rushed forward as if they were not afraid of death. Maybe they thought that the rats in the forest opposite had only this ability, and when they rushed over, they could hack them to death.  Crush them.  The cavalry rushed forward one after another, rushing forward like waves lapping against the rocks.  But the German army's position was not so easy to break through. Although there were only three trenches outside the woods, they were actually just to lure the enemy deeper.  When the Turks finally broke through the three trenches at the cost of many casualties, there were still countless bows and arrows aimed at them in front of them.  Arrows rained down like rain, and the dense arrows gave them huge lethality.  Holding the arrow.  The Turks were still charging. They seemed not to want to retreat. Perhaps they thought that if they charged again, they would be able to cut the Sui people's necks with their sabers.  With this thought, they did rush through the rain of arrows again, and finally rushed into the woods.  But when they finally paid huge casualties and rushed to the Sui Army, they were finally able to see the Sui Army. They saw the Sui Army's black hair and white neck, but they did not see the Sui Army's fearful expression. What they saw was the Sui Army.  The smile on Jun's face was bright.  And with contempt and ridicule.  Those Turks finally discovered why the other party had such a smile. Between them and the Sui army, there was a shining "Great Wall!" It's hard to believe that the Great Wall was composed of a chain of chariots. On the tall chariots  The armor plate was installed, and an armor plate was installed on their side to hold it up. Suddenly the Great Wall in front of them was more than ten feet high, but the Sui army hid behind the Great Wall and opened archery holes there.  Behind the armor plate, standing in the carriage, he took a bow and arrow and shot at them unscrupulously, laughing mockingly while shooting.  A Turkic cavalryman crossed the trench, dodged the rain of arrows, and finally rushed all the way into the woods, rushing to the silver reflective Great Wall of Chariots and the Mobile Fortress.  He waved his scimitar, howling loudly, and rushed towards the shiny armor plate, slashing it with all his strength.  There was a clang sound, sparks flew everywhere, the knife was missing a big hole, but only a white mark was left on the armor plate.  He raised his sword again, but before he could land his second sword, in the gap between the two carts, a Sui infantryman covered in heavy armor had already stabbed him with a spear, and it suddenly became clear.  and hit his horse's neck.  The war horse fell down with a long neigh, and he was thrown to the ground. He struggled to stand up, but the Sui army archer behind the shooting hole in the chariot had already released an arrow, and the arrow went straight into his eye socket.  The Turkic knight screamed, collapsed on the ground, and died immediately.  More and more Turkic soldiersArriving in front of the Sui army's chariot formation, they fired arrows, slashed with knives, and hit them with horses, but in the end they could only stop in front of the chariot formation.  This car formation is like a moving castle. To break through it simply is as difficult as climbing to the sky.  It was only then that they discovered that they could not break through the Sui Army's chariot formation, but they put themselves under the Sui Army's bows and arrows, and under the Sui Army's spears.  The crossbowmen standing in the rear compartment of the armored plate were divided into three rows, taking turns to step forward and release arrows.  One stands in front of the shooting hole and shoots arrows, another is ready to take over, and the other retreats to the back to reload the string. The three rows of people take turns to shoot arrows, maintaining the uninterrupted attack of arrows and recovering their physical strength.  The chariots have been connected with thick iron chains, and in the gaps between the chariots, there are also spearmen and sword and shield soldiers standing, with spears in disorder and swords shining brightly.  This is simply a mobile fortress that cannot be broken through!  At this time, the Turks finally realized their situation and continued to rush to the damn moving castle to die.  "Retreat!" I don't know who shouted the first voice. The rest of the Turkic soldiers finally woke up from their anger and blood, and turned their horses to retreat and escape.  Although I don¡¯t want to believe this is true, the 10,000 Turkic cavalry were indeed repelled by a group of southern barbarian infantry. Although it was humiliating to escape, it was better than rushing forward and losing their lives in vain.  "Military leader, the Turks are going to run away." Sun Anzu smiled happily, as if it had nothing to do with him.  "The Turks must think they can run away. They are cavalry after all. When fighting against cavalry on foot, there seems to be very little chance of annihilating the cavalry." Hao Xiaode also seemed to be discussing something insignificant.  Dou Jiande laughed and said: "Who said that infantry cannot defeat cavalry? Haven't we already done it? And who said that it is difficult for infantry to defeat cavalry? Since our Chengde army can defeat Turkic cavalry, we can also  Annihilate them." He waved his hand and summoned his soldiers, "Send the order, attack on both sides, surround the defeated Turks. This time we will defeat the cavalry with our feet, and we will annihilate them all!" "  Order!" Several messengers left.  At the foot of Feilai Peak, Dou Jiande set up an ambush in the forest, but not all of Chengde's army.  On both sides of the frontal battlefield, Dou Jiande had already ambushed two troops and remained hidden.  He seemed to have already predicted the direction of this battle and the final victory.  The messenger quickly arrived and loudly announced the latest order.  "Attack on both wings, surround the Turkic troops and annihilate them all!" "Attack!" The troops who had been waiting for a long time were already excited. Seeing the excitement of the friendly brothers fighting, they were all very hungry and thirsty.  , couldn¡¯t hold it any longer.  When the military order was received at this time, everyone suddenly became excited, shouting and cheering, like tigers descending from the mountain.  Smoke and dust were everywhere, and the Chengde army rushed out from both wings. Although they were infantry, they were all riding horses at this time. They rushed to the battlefield with roaring speed, outflanked the defeated Turkic soldiers, and then quickly dismounted, formed a formation, and faced the enemy!  The chariot is in front, the spear is behind, and the crossbowmen are already in place!  The defeated Turkic soldiers who had just escaped from the woods were still rejoicing that they had finally escaped, but they did not expect that just after they came out of the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den, the Han army had already intercepted their retreat!  They were surrounded, and the Turks desperately realized a fact!  (To be continued.
