The fifty-eighth chapter surprise attack on Talas (4) Battle of Ashar

Sun Xiurong’s arrangement is:

One thousand young soldiers are arranged on the left and right with the center camp as the center. On the left are the left camp, the back camp, on the right camp, on the right camp, the front camp, and behind are the thousand tribal cavalry of Heifu.

Although the sturdy and dark-faced black man didn't say anything on his face, he could still see the clues from his expression - "Is his own people not as good as a group of young and old men? Forget it, since Sima wants to show off, he will go. Anyway, I still need to do it myself later."

From the eyes of Helan Suni on the opposite side, the front layer among the enemies on the other side was extremely strict and solemn, but they were all child soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was probably not as good as the tribal cavalry behind them. Why should they stand in the first row with their ability?

If he was a Tang army, even if he wanted to train young soldiers, he would let adult cavalry stand in the front, and then let young soldiers get help after blocking the enemy's most deadly blow. Apart from that, he really couldn't think of any tricks the other party had to deal with him.

As a general of the Tuqi Shi who participated in several battles with Dashi and the Tang Dynasty, Helan Suni was still afraid of Dashi and the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention the Tang army, their infantry and cavalry were both strong. In terms of Dashi, Damascus infantry and Khorasan cavalry were also very powerful.

But if it is purely a battle between cavalry, they are still light cavalry. For Helan Suni, no one can beat Tuqishi!

Although he thought so, the opponent was headed by a baby soldier. Helan Suni, who had been through the battle formation for a long time, put the most elite cavalry under his command in front of him. For the nomadic tribe, the only criterion for elite soldiers is riding and shooting, and these thousand people are naturally superior to riding and shooting.

In addition, the thousand people were equipped with some medium-range strike weapons such as short guns and Guduo, and 200 of them had heavy weapons such as long-handled maces, large axes, and iron spears.

There are powerful tools in the long, middle, and nearly three levels. Wouldn't it be defeated by a mere baby soldier?

Three hundred steps!

"It would be a pity if these baby soldiers were killed in such a purgatory battle formation. How good would it be if they were captured as my slaves? Then, with these people as the core, they formed a standing army in their own tribe. Although I was a slave, I might not be able to compete with others for their strength."

Two hundred steps!

The baby soldier on the opposite side still had no movement. Two hundred steps, roughly three hundred meters. At this point, the speed of the cavalry in the thunder cavalry has increased. If the opponent is full of fighting spirit, he should also urge him to come forward, but there is still no movement on the opposite side!

"Haha, have you used the tactics of the infantry to the cavalry? Who is this general of the Tang army? He is so scholarly and energetic?"

On the opposite side, Sun Xiurong in the formation took a deep breath. Although there were only two thousand cavalry, in fact, except for Geshuminu's left camp and Nangongxun's front camp, the combat power of the remaining third battalion was very suspicious. Of course, the Black Fu Qianqi behind still had considerable combat power.

But he still risked the world's great opposition to become cannon fodder for his husband Meng Lingcha to lure the enemy, and was still a cannon fodder who did not follow the routine.

Because he is Sun Xiurong, Sun Xiurong, who has traveled through time for three lifetimes, has carefully planned every step he takes. Although accidents happen occasionally, they are basically within his own control, and he cannot tolerate his waste of time.

“Woo…”

Geng Si beside him blew the horn horn to prepare to fight the enemy. At the same time, a tall young soldier next to Geng Si stood up on the horse, stepped on the stirrups with his feet!

He held several small flags in his hand.

The order is: Zuoying/East/Green Flag, Right/Western/White Flag, Front/South/Red Flag, Houying/North/Black Flag, Central/Central/Yellow Flag.

There was also someone next to him holding the big yellow flag from the central camp.

"Woo!"

A short horn reminded the Central Camp that it was about to take action. Then the small yellow flag in the flag bearer waved forward, and two hundred single crossbows in the Central Camp pointed diagonally towards the sky.

"Woo!"

"call out……"

Two hundred heavy arrows cut through the solemnity of the two armies before the confrontation, and rushed towards the enemy opposite with a greedy roar!

Then there are the left camp with one stone bow, the front camp with seven Douli Bows, and the back camp with both five Douli Bows and the right camp!

When the two hundred young soldiers in the rear camp pointed the bow and arrow in their hands towards the sky, the Heifu from Nangong behind seemed to understand something, and quickly let his cavalry raise the bow and arrow. His tribal cavalry was naturally not as neat as the young soldiers in the arrangement of troops. They gathered according to small tribes. Most of them used single bows, and a few people used horn bows. Like young soldiers, their strength ranged from five pounds to two stones. Of course, as adults, most of them could pull single bows with seven pounds.

Like everyone else, Helan Suni was used to putting his most elite power in the middle, that is, the two hundred elite cavalry in the middle were all horn bows with a force of more than one stone, carrying at least three javelins/bones/short axes, and all with long-handled heavy weapons.

But this time he seemed to have miscalculated. At a distance of two hundred steps, the young soldier in the opposite middle actually took out a powerful crossbow from behind!

The single crossbow is the worst crossbow in the Tang army, but it is also a powerful crossbow with three stone power, a flat shooting range of 160 steps and a shooting range of more than 200 steps!

For this young soldier, there is no way to accurately judge the distance between the two sides, only Sun Xiurong himself can do this. Therefore, when the enemy cavalry stepped into the range of two hundred steps, he immediately issued an order to Geng Sidu.

It is a fantasy to expect that all young soldiers can drive a three-stone powerful bow, but it is very easy to learn to use crossbows in a short period of time. It is not easy to learn to shoot flat and aim. It requires long-term training, but it is still easy to learn to shoot.

As a young man from the nomadic tribe, there is no problem in lifting an eight-pound single crossbow!

About half of the two hundred heavy arrows fell over the two hundred elite riders in front of Helan Suni, and then hit them at an incident angle of 60 degrees!

Of course, as Sun Xiurong, he could not know that the enemy's elite in the middle of the first row on the opposite side was. Even if he knew, he would not be able to change his formation on the battlefield. It was just a routine operation. No matter what kind of enemy the front was, he would be hit by his first wave!

Then the opponent's right and left side were launched in turn according to the range of the young soldiers' battalions!

In fact, although they are all riding on horseback, they can still shoot in an orderly manner when facing the enemy. No matter how good they are in close combat, based on this, Sun Xiurong's young soldiers have reached the foundation of a strong army.

In fact, as the general of the cavalry on the opposite side, when facing the attack of the opponent's arrow branches, if it were in the past, Helan Suni could have ignored it. That situation was not the case, but it would probably be shot out by the cavalry in the back formation after entering the range of the bow and arrow. But what he did not expect was that the baby soldier on the opposite side actually used the infantry's tactics to the cavalry!

What he didn't expect most was that this baby soldier actually had a powerful crossbow!

The powerful crossbow, as the weapon that nomadic tribes fear the most, is no less.

Li Ling was able to deal with 80,000 Hun cavalry for several days with just 5,000 infantry soldiers, relying on strong crossbows. The Tang army dominated the world and repeatedly attacked more with fewer attacks in the Western Regions. The powerful crossbows played an irreplaceable role!

Helan Suni happened to be not far behind the elite in the middle. When the arrows all over the sky hit him at a distance of two hundred steps, in an instant, he suddenly realized that although the army in front was all baby soldiers, they were all wearing Tang army's clothes after all!

When about twenty or thirty elites in front of him were shot down, he couldn't help but pause, and it was this pause that made him lose the opportunity again.

After he paused, the person carrying the banner behind him paused. After this person paused, the entire brigade paused.

During this pause, the speed of the entire brigade suddenly slowed down again.

This made Sun Xiurong's five arrow branches play the greatest role. Otherwise, if Helan Suni ignored his shot and still rushed forward at a strong speed, he would definitely not be able to get it.

At the bottom of the Tang army's powerful crossbows, there are only two hundred single crossbows, which became the winner of this battle!

After the five-double attack, the Helan Suni's formation was in chaos. Although it was a bit messy before, the team that was still a whole became a sparse one.

What's even more fatal is that when Helan Suni calmed down and rushed forward again, he had already rushed to the front.

As one of the three elite generals under Erweitler, Helan Suni also has beautiful armor.

The Tang army's Mingguang armor was too heavy, and the chain mail of the Great Cannibal was very suitable for the needs of the nomadic tribe. Unlike the Great Cannibal cavalry, the Tuqi Shiren did not wear a complete set of chain mail (small iron rings are stringed together, and the longest one can cover the knees) but cut it.

In order to fight for a long time, Helan Suni's chain mail only covered his chest and abdomen, and the rest of the positions were as uncovered as the Tang army on the opposite side!

Even so, Helan Suni's chain mail was still a little dazzling under the sunlight.

“Woooooooooooo…”

This time, Sun Xiurong's brigade changed the order of the attack. He personally came to Geshuminu's left camp, and Yang Shouyu came to Nangongxun's front camp. These were the two most elite forces under the Sima of the Naren Governor's Office. Most of them were around eighteen years old and were almost the same as adults!

Sun Xiurong met Helan Suni early in the morning and took out his black cloud bow. At this distance, the three-stone black cloud bow was almost every shot!

He angrily hit three arrows, one arrow shot out like an arrow!

Yang Shouyu, who was the temporary leader of the former camp, had the same thought as Sun Xiurong, and almost shot three arrows at the same time as Sun Xiurong!

So, the tragic day of Helan Suni appeared, and all six arrows shot him. At such a close distance, whether it was Sun Xiurong's three-stone black cloud bow or Yang Shouyu's strong bow, the powerful arrows shot out were not blocked by chain mail!

At least half of the six arrows penetrated the chain mail and shot into Helan Suni's body!

Helan Suni fell down with too much reluctance.

Except for the people near him, his brigade was still rushing forward. At this time, Sun Xiurong was already rushing up with a tiger gun!

Since the war in Hunu Town, Sun Xiurong has repeatedly thought about it and did not adopt Bai Xiaode's double iron spear or Ma Lin's iron spear or meteor hammer configuration. Instead, based on the experience of the Flying Dragon Rider in his previous life, he hung an iron shield on his left forearm. He decided to make his left arm a special weapon to block.

The small shield is not heavy in weight, and you can still wave the tiger gun together with your right arm to attack.

When he rushed into the cavalry formation of the tumultuous cavalry, he obviously felt the sparse formation and couldn't help but secretly rejoice for his previous adventure arrangement.
Chapter completed!
