Chapter 68 Killing one person is a crime and killing ten thousand people is a hero
Chapter 68 Killing one person is a crime and slaughtering ten thousand people is a hero
Although the war horses are trained to be afraid of fire or loud noises, when the butts are burned, the war horses don’t care about thirty-seventy-one anymore, and they only know how to run forward.
Whether it is a man or a war horse in front of you, the high-speed war horse has more than ten thousand pounds of charge.
"Bang bang bang..."
The sound of the broken bones was intertwined with the neighing of people and war horses. The Western Turkic soldiers lying on the ground, before they could get up, were trampled on the horse's hoof behind them, and the screams stopped abruptly. A horse's hoof as big as a bowl stepped on his head, and gray brain and blood burst out.
There were also lucky Turks who were thrown off to the ground by war horses, but their feet were wrapped in one-sided stirrups. The Turkic soldiers let out heart-wrenching wails, and blood gushed out from the hideous wounds, and pools accumulated on the ground...
Luo Shixin was dumbfounded: "This... this... can still fight like this! It's so terrible, so terrible, so terrible, those Western Turks are so miserable."
Chen Ying glared at Luo Shixin and said, "What did you say?"
Luo Shixin hurriedly changed his words: "The beasts raised by these bitches are so hateful, they die well!"
"Not bad, die well!" Chen Ying smiled and said, "Only the dead Turks are good Turks."
Chen Ying looked relaxed, but Tongye Hu Khan was heartbroken.
So many Western Turkic warriors fell down in the blink of an eye. They practiced martial arts and polished their strength since they were a few years old. They started fighting wars at the age of sixteen. They had endured so much hardships and fought many evil wars to develop this skill. Now, they were trampled to death on the ground by war horses.
Tongye Hu Khan's eyes were blood-red and he roared: "Cheep! Shoot them to death! Shoot them to death!"
It is not easy to shoot a high-speed horse to death.
The cavalry horn bows of the Western Turks are light bows. Although the rate of fire is fast, their lethality is not satisfactory. They are still good at dealing with targets without armor, but they are not as powerful as dealing with these crazy war horses.
Yes, facing a series of horses swarming like crazy tigers, the Western Turkic cavalry rode their horses and turned around and shot back.
Tens of thousands of Western Turkic cavalry shot back, forming a dense rain of arrows, shooting the first few rows of fire horses.
In fact, Chen Ying was not a cruel person. He tied the beef-soaked mane on the horse's ponytail, but it was not a burning bomb. In fact, the horse ran for several miles and the flames slowly went out. Losing the threat of flames on the tail, these horses slowly calmed down. They were just running on inertia now.
It would be fine if the Western Turks didn't shoot arrows, but they were afraid that the wildness of these war horses would be stimulated by the archery. These war horses that were caught in the arrow did not slow down, but instead accelerated their charge.
Of course, this is mainly due to the training of the Turks. When their cavalry was blocked by the enemy's arrow rain during the charge, they could never stop advancing. They could only endure casualties, gritted their teeth and were hit by the arrow rain in front, and fought in close combat.
Therefore, the Western Turks found that these serial horses were becoming more and more fierce as they chased each other. What they hated even more was that they were tied together and had no place to hide at a distance of almost eight or nine feet wide. Moreover, even if one of the war horses was shot to death, the serial horses would not stop charging. They would drag the dead war horses to continue running, or they would exhaust their physical strength and die, or they would wear off the tied cowhide rope because of friction.
Tongye Hu Khan sadly discovered that there was no way to continue the battle, and his morale was drained. The Turkic warriors on the battlefield all turned into timid like rabbits. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the most elite military formation of the Fuli Army was faintly loosened.
More than 20,000 series of fire horses almost exhausted the arrows of their tens of thousands of archers. The key is that the cavalry and cavalry under Chen Ying's command has not yet arrived.
The Liangzhou military and civilians standing on the Liangzhou city wall, staring at the dramatic scene, were stunned at the piles of corpses and the wounded Western Turkic soldiers who were wriggling in pain in the pool of blood.
A Liangzhou general who had never seen Chen Ying's powerful jaw almost dislocated: "This... has defeated the Western Turkic cavalry formation so quickly? When did our Tang Dynasty cavalry become so powerful!?"
Before Li Daozong could speak, Rongsheng Zhe Chong Duwei Zhao Chunyang smiled proudly: "That's because you are ignorant, and you don't even ask. General Chen has few unique skills. He dares to fight against the Turks in the wild? Don't be idle. Tongye Hu suffered such a big loss, and he will definitely not give up."
It is unknown whether Tongye Hu will give up Li Daozong, but he knows that Chen Ying will not give up.
He had abandoned more than 20,000 war horses. If more than 20,000 war horses were placed in Chang'an, they could be sold for hundreds of thousands of chunks. If such a large amount of money disappeared, would he give up?
The answer is yes.
Seeing the Western Turks retreating across the board, Chen Ying looked up and shouted: "It's time for us to go! Put down the armor and follow me!"
Face armor is also the only equipment in the Tang army. Because the cavalry often charges against the enemy's rain of arrows, but once the enemy shoots in the face and the face is unblocked, it is easy to be slandered. Even if it does not die, it will leave an ugly scar on the face.
So, Chen Ying made a face armor by adopting the method of a motorcycle helmet. In this way, even if the armor of the cavalry and cavalry was armed to the teeth, the entire head was protected except for two eyes and no obstruction.
The cavalry soldiers quickly pulled the armor under the armor, flat-end the sickle spear, and rushed up. When they met the Western Turkic soldiers who were lucky enough to die on the battlefield, the cavalry soldiers quickly fired their guns in the spirit of humanitarianism, and broke their heads and ended their pain.
Seeing Chen Ying chasing him, without waiting for the order of the Khan of Tongye Hu, Batur turned around and took the elite troops of his headquarters to detour in a large circle, avoiding the chain of fire horses, and rushing towards the hook and sickle cavalry under Chen Ying's command.
Tongyehu Khan looked at Batu, praying silently in his heart.
Must win.
Must win.
Maybe it was because the Turkic Canglang God fell asleep, or he didn't hear the prayers of Tongye Hu Khan.
As his name is, the Bartu people are worthy of being the name of warriors. The elite arrows he led were like rain, and crackling sounds sounded on the charge of the Tang army's hook and sickle lances, and Mars shot everywhere.
Batuer reacted very quickly. When he saw this situation, he knew that the Tang army soldiers were wearing heavy armor. Even if the arrows could not be shot through, he hurriedly ordered: "Shoot their horses!"
The cavalry under Baltu slowly lowered the arrows, and the sharp arrows were like rain. The war horses without costumes were all shot into arrows. Some of them had their horses' hooves softened and fell to the ground, throwing the cavalry and cavalry on the horse's back to the ground.
However, the soldiers of the cavalry who were charging on horseback turned a blind eye to this and rushed straight with their hook and sickle spear.
This is not the first time Tongye Hu has seen this momentum of looking at death and never returning. He has seen it in Liangzhou City, and this time he has seen it here again.
Tong Ye Hu's face was pale in an instant. He was generally clear about how many people there were in the Tang Dynasty. At least ten million were huge, and there were less than one million Western Turks. This was the first time that the Western Turks saw the cavalry that was famous for losing its due power. They shot out three or four arrows, and the Tang cavalry's hook and sickle spear hit the chest!
...Puchi
The sound of the gun's tip entering the flesh sounded, and the muffled sound of the sharp blade tearing the flesh and blood made the hair and bones thrust. The huge impact force of the two cavalry hedges made the rod of the hook and sickle spear suddenly stretched into a crescent moon shape, and then the pierced Western Turkic cavalry was bounced out involuntarily. Then, the hook and sickle spear covered with blood looked for the next target.
Looking at this scene, Tongye Hu Khan's face turned pale.
Tongye Hu Khan suddenly realized that he was wrong! He was very outrageous. He underestimated the Tang Dynasty. If the Tang Dynasty had all such a group of fierce and fearless madmen, would they be so terrible? Then the Western Turks would be in danger.
Cavalry battles are not as exciting as the novel says. There are three hundred rounds of battles, horses and horses, and everything from fighting to horses. There are no ones. Just two cavalry hedge by, wave the weapons in their hands at the moment of hedging, and use the high speed given by the war horse to split the enemy's body. If you are awesome enough, you can avoid a sabre, don't be too busy to be happy, there are many waiting for you behind.
As for the scenes of cavalry fighting on the ground in domestic garbage dramas, and horses eating grass leisurely on the battlefield where corpses are everywhere, they just take a leather shoe and then change the channel.
There were not so many film and television masterpieces that lowered IQs in the Tang Dynasty, so the IQs of the Tang army and the Western Turkic army were at normal levels. They did not stop and fight each other, but swept face to face like a hurricane. The hook and sickle spear were held up and pushed forward like a wall. Although the sabers in the hands of the Western Turkic cavalry could not reach the Tang army cavalry, the Western Turkic cavalry did not force themselves to be beaten. They used short spears as spears, such as iron bones, caltrops, steel axes, and other close-range weapons. There was no one who could take advantage of them. The two or three pounds of helmets were thrown as hidden weapons.
The moment of charge, life and death are determined, and the opponent will be killed as soon as you take action! Of course, this kind of gadget is not very useful to the soldiers of the Cavalry. They have folded shields on their left arm to protect most of the vital points. The hook and sickle in their hands and Turkic cavalry dodges are too late, so how dare they throw hidden weapons?
When cavalry battles cannot gain advantage, Tongyehu has no idea of fighting.
The 30,000-strong army is his army, and it cannot be used lightly until it is absolutely necessary.
Once the 30,000 Fuli Army is seriously damaged, not to mention that his position as the Western Turkic Khan will be shaken, it will be a problem whether he can leave his entire body.
As a khan, if his hands are not stained with blood, if there are no enemies all over the world, it is not qualified.
"Retreat, we lose!" Tongye Hu was a bachelor. Seeing that he had done his tricks, he had no chance of winning, he immediately ordered his retreat.
Anyway, he also realized that Chen Ying had more than 10,000 cavalrymen under his command. Even though they were powerful and could take one as one, he would never be able to keep all the 200,000 troops.
As the saying goes, ideals are full, reality is too skinny.
Although Tongye Hu Khan's idea was wonderful, it was destined to fail.
