Chapter 8 Build the Corpse into a Wall

On the battlefield, the morale of the offensive and defensive sides has increased and decreased. If the enemy is in a strong spirit, the soldiers on their own may also suffer from a sluggish situation.

The root of the Turkic Bulu was first dragged to death by Luo Shixin by using flowers and wood, and then was ambushed by Duan Zhigan's troops. Although the formation did not dissipate, the morale was severely frustrated.

"Kill" Luo Shixin raised the iron spear in his hand and led the Yue cavalry of the Tang Dynasty to pounce on Bulugen.

Bu Lugen's lungs were about to explode. If it weren't for his exhaustion, Luo Shixin led the Tang cavalry to charge, he would definitely hit him. But there were not so many If, as a Turkic general, Bu Lugen knew very well that in this case, he would never retreat. Once he retreated, it would be easy to retreat.

More than 80% of the killing on the battlefield are formed during the pursuit process.

War is very mysterious to say, but in fact it is very simple to summarize. That is to expand the advantages of the existing side and the disadvantages of the enemy as much as possible.

The strength of the Tang army is the physical strength of soldiers and the physical strength of war horses, and secondly, it is obviously better than the Turks in equipment. The shortcomings of the Tang army will not be a drag. In comparison, the Yue cavalry of the Tang Dynasty immediately gained the upper hand. Even if the Turks had a numerical advantage, they could not offset this gap.

Luo Shixin took the lead, rushed into the enemy formation with a roar, and inserted it in one go. He and Zhang Shigui interspered from both left and right angles at the same time. Bu Lugen did not expect that the Tang army was so powerful. They were secretly screaming that it was not good. They had been cut into three pieces by the Yue cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.

"Kill!" Luo Shixin swept the iron spear in his hand and three or four Turks were swept off their war horses. In such a large-scale cavalry melee, falling off a horse means death.

Youdao is a one-power to surrender to ten times. Luo Shixin was born with divine power and was fully utilized in such a chaotic battlefield. The iron spear in his hand became the deadly nemesis of the Turks. He died if he touched it, and he died if he touched it.

In comparison, Zhang Shigui's attack was much gentler. Although Zhang Shigui was good at using horse spears, he picked up an iron-tied bow and shot a series of beads. He almost shot an arrow on the enemy's forehead.

The arrows came out like the wind, and the sound of breaking through the air was endless. The Turkic cavalry facing Zhang Shigui was unable to reach Zhang Shigui's twenty steps and were shot down by war horses.

When the two sides fought, they could not make a cup of tea, and the two sides could easily emerge from the formation.

Bu Lugen counted the number of people at this time, and his forehead was so angry that his veins raised. He led more than 2,000 cavalry to chase Luo Shixin's army, and it was already depressed to lose four or five hundred cavalrymen. However, after this contact battle, there were less than a thousand soldiers who could still ride on the horse. In other words, in just a short cup of tea, his troops had been killed by five or six hundred people.

On the other hand, there were less than a hundred corpses of the Tang cavalry on the battlefield.

Six to one, such a war loss rate is simply a great humiliation for the Turks.

Duan Zhigan cut off the Turkic cavalry who had been trampled into flesh but was injured but not dead with a knife, and ended his sinful life very mercilessly.

"Good fight!"

Zhang Shigui was also amazed in his heart. He was so amazing. He unconsciously looked at Luo Shixin with a dark face.

I'm afraid that Qin King Li Shimin could not achieve such an amazing record. You should know that the Turks were not against the kings in various places. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the thirty-six lines of anti-kings and seventy-two lines of anti-kings. Although they were against the kings, they were known as tens of thousands of elite soldiers and hundreds of thousands of them. In fact, they were just a group of farmers who had just picked up weapons. Some anti-kings, let alone weapons, could not even be able to handle the cheapest spear.

Yang Guang was surrounded at Yanmen Pass and poured out hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Sui Dynasty to support the king, but failed to open the encirclement of the Turks. If Princess Yicheng had not risked her life, Yang Guang might have become a prisoner of the Turks.

One thousand two hundred riders vs two thousand riders, but they have an overwhelming advantage and have achieved an overwhelming victory.

This victory made all the Tang soldiers happy and extremely excited.

In comparison, the Turks on the opposite side were like mourning and criticizing, and were covered in dust.

Luo Shixin waved the iron spear in his hand and raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, do you still have the strength?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The thousand-cavalry Tang cavalry shouted like thunder, and the sound was so loud that it soared into the sky.

Luo Shixin shouted: "Brothers are my wings and follow me to take the Turkic head under the black flag!"

Luo Shixin took the lead, and the horse galloped like wind and lightning.

Seeing Luo Shixin's bravery, the cavalry soldiers of the Tang army were as if they were greatly stimulated. Everyone was brave and roared like wild animals: "The Tang Dynasty is thousands of victories, the Tang Dynasty is thousands of victories, and the Tang Dynasty is thousands of victories, and the Luo Dynasty is the mighty!"

The Tang army cavalry rushed forward without any life! More than a thousand cavalry here formed a group, and Bu Lugen's command was less than a thousand people. In terms of strength, they were even worse than the Tang army's cavalry, and in terms of morale. At this time, they were shocked by the high morale of the Tang army, so how could they resist it?

Although Bu Lugen was unwilling to give up, the Turkic cavalry that stood in front of Luo Shixin was like cutting a knife tofu, without any delay.

"General, go quickly!" a Turkic general shouted: "In the words of the Tang people, keep the green mountains there, and don't be afraid of burning firewood!"

Bu Lugen was still hesitating, but Luo Shixin would not give him a chance. The iron spear flew up and down, killing the Turkic people with souls rising, and the Turkic cavalry retreated one after another. There was only one thought left in the heads of these Turkic people.

I just regret that my parents have fewer legs.

Duan Zhigan took advantage of the opportunity of the Turks' retreat and took advantage of the situation to seize the Hongshan Fort.

Although Hongshan Fort is very small, it is because it is small that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the Turks had not retreated on their own initiative, they would have to pay hundreds of lives to take over this small fort, which is about 400 steps in a radius.

"Win!"

Luo Shixin shouted loudly. The Tang army soldiers achieved great results in this battle. The escaped Turks were estimated to be less than 300. They left behind 1,788 Turkic cavalry, and less than 200 of them were injured. More than half of them were slightly injured. They could jump around after recuperation for a while.

...

The snow sledges with armored shield walls were quickly sprinting on the snow surface. Chen Ying did not care about the cold wind as much as a knife, stood on the watchtower of the sledge and looked carefully at the distance.

The armored shield wall was covered with white silk, and even the horses pulling sled were wrapped in white silk. Chen Ying's approach made Wei Wenzhong complain. In this era, cloth was almost equal to currency. According to the "Six Dictionaries" Food and Money Records, cloth from the Tang Dynasty accounted for about one-third of the total fiscal revenue. When Chen Ying supported Lingzhou from Chang'an, he carried 3,000 pieces of cloth, worth about 3,000 guan. This batch of cloth was not used by the Right Guard's Mansion, but was asked to reward the meritorious soldiers guarding Lingzhou according to their merits.

But Chen Ying was fine. Not only did he embezzle the cloth that he had originally rewarded to the heroes, but he also wasted

Duan Zhigan's troops used more than 140 horses, and now more than 100 side-car chariots and mules and horses, and more than 300 horses were used. These cloths were used here, which made Wei Wenzhong puzzled.

Chen Ying did not have any details and explained it to the soldiers clearly. In Chen Ying's eyes, the lives of the soldiers are priceless and cannot be measured by money. As long as the casualties of the soldiers can be reduced or reduced, Chen Ying will not care about the losses in the wealth. Chen Ying only knew that white cloth could well conceal the whereabouts of the troops, which was enough.

At this time, the Tang army camp in the hot spring pool had already left the camp. In addition to the four regiments of Duan Zhigan's army, the four regiments led by Luo Shixin, there were nine regiments (plus the personal guard group) and civil servants and craftsmen. A total of more than 4,000 people were riding in snow sleds and advancing towards Bogulu City.

Chen Ying stood on the watchtower and looked anxiously into the distance.

The snow accumulated, and the message transmission was very unsmooth. Chen Ying fixed and disguised more than a dozen light snow sleds according to the distance and near the Thin Bone Rucheng. These light sleds were equipped with a large pot equipped with wolf dung. Once they saw the news that Hongshan Fort succeeded, they would ignite the wolf smoke in time.

Although these snow sledges that act as mobile beacon towers, once discovered by the Turks, they have no ability to protect themselves, but in order to convey information, they can only do their best and leave their will.

Just under Hongshan Fort, the Tang army soldiers were excitedly cleaning the battlefield. The Tang army also used their heads to calculate their merits, but in the melee, many Turkic heads were trampled by horse hooves and could not be identified at all. The final heads collected were only 1,151.

However, more than 2,000 war horses were seized, including more than half of the wounded and abandoned horses.

Hongshan Fort was too small to station more than 2,000 people in Luo Shixin and Duan Zhigan's troops. Luo Shixin thought about it and asked the soldiers to collect the bodies of the Turks and build corpses outside Hongshan Fort into walls.

All kinds of incomplete corpses piled up together. A pot of hot water fell down and quickly froze into a wall of corpses. Fortunately, tens of thousands of kilograms of charcoal were stored in Hongshan Fort, otherwise boiling water would have become a problem.

Just as the corpse wall was three feet high, the whistle suddenly reported urgently.
