Chapter 88: The iron spear of this general is already hungry and thirsty
Chapter 88: This general's iron spear is already hungry and thirsty
There are shocking corpses. Most of these corpses are shot in the vital points of the neck and chest. The majority of them are shot in the chest. The sharp arrows pass by the chest, penetrate the heart or lung lobes, and penetrate the spine. The soldiers who are shot in the arrow often lose consciousness before they fall to the ground.
Asina Helu bent down and slowly pulled out an arrow from a corpse that was dying with eyes. Sure enough, it was not the wooden arrow that the Turks were used to, nor the bone arrow they used, nor the bamboo arrow. It was the sheep-headed arrow that the Tang people were standard.
The so-called sheep head arrow is in "Dialect" by Yang Xiong of the Han Dynasty: "Any arrow head... three sickles (edges) are called sheep heads." This kind of arrow head is three inches and three minutes long, extremely sharp, extremely powerful, and the wound is extremely difficult to heal.
In fact, if the sheep head arrow is expanded ten times in proportion, it can become a spear blade, and it is also the originator of the five-six-style triangular military spear.
Ashina Helu naturally did not know the power and reputation of the Triangle Army Swords, but he knew that although the Turks had some captured sheep-headed arrows, such sheep-headed arrows must be used to use a strong crossbow and hard bow to maximize their power. The riding or hunting bows in the Turks usually only have seven dou or one stone to pull the force, and it is absolutely impossible to hit the front chest, through the chest cavity and reach the spine.
The only possibility is that Geshunur and Ashina Valley have set up a large amount of equipment from the Tang army. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the Geshu tribe has so many sheep-headed arrowheads and fine steel armor made of steel.
Ashinahelu encountered the most terrifying nightmare since he raised his army to become Khan. He seemed to see the army under Goshunur's command in his head, and rushed forward one after another, completely putting life and death out of the way.
The small area turned into a Shura slaughterhouse with flesh and blood. The special forces involved in this battle, Burke, Berg and others, knelt in front of him, burst into tears, lamenting that the losses were too heavy and that their bones had been broken!
In this battle, more than two hours were killed or injured by more than 3,000 people on both sides, and then more than 2,550 people were killed or injured by Ashinahelu's troops. Although Ashinahelu led 15,000 troops, this loss would not be damaged.
However, when he looked at the shocking corpses lying on the ground in front of him, his hands trembled more violently.
The nightmare he had always tried his best to avoid was still staged. Since the Western Turks ruled Ye Hu Khan, a part of the Western Turks who were willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Although Ashinahelu tried his best to avoid this, some people still surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.
Otherwise, even if the Geshu tribe could have some Tang army's weapons and equipment, they would never be able to achieve five or six thousand people. Almost everyone was Tang crossbow and Tang Jia. If it weren't for the same deep eyes, blue eyes, and curly hair, he would have suspected that he had met Tang army.
This is not important anymore, what is important is that it has caused him an unprecedented defeat.
Ashina Helu was furious and furious, and finally lost his mind. He threw the scimitar in his hand far away and let out a howl! The injured beast-like whistle!
"Khan, calm down!"
"Don't calm down!"
...
The special forces, Burke, Berg and others tried to persuade him, "Great Khan, this can't be fought. The bastards of the Geshu tribe have a large number of strong bows and crossbows and iron armor, and are not afraid of our cavalry and shooting at all. Every time our army kills one of them, one or two will be killed or injured! You can't continue to fight, retreat, otherwise our army will be seriously injured!"
All the special forces, Burke, and Berg were silent.
I did my best just now and killed Geshu a lot, but while killing Geshu's troops, I also made the powerful bow and crossbow of Geshu's troops kill and injured.
The worst thing is that Geshu's arrows seem to be heartless. Every round of volley shots will cause them to be killed or injured. How can we fight?
Ashinahelu stared at the opposite hillside, Geshunur's wolf-tail Datao gritted his teeth and roared: "Continue attack! Their crossbow arrows are not infinite. They have few people and their physical strength will be exhausted. Then our chance comes! Attack! Can't give them any chance to breathe!"
The special agent Ashi was stunned and almost cried, saying, "Great Khan, calm down! If you fight like this, even if you win, not many of us will survive!"
Ashin Chibao is considered to be the clan brother of Ashin Helu. He pointed at Ashin Helu and said excitedly: "We, the Great Turks, have always been moving in war, avoiding the enemy's edge and attacking their weak brigades. How could they be formed into a dignified formation and head-on battle..."
Before Ashina Chiba finished speaking, Ashina Helu suddenly slashed down with a knife. Ashina Chiba's voice stopped abruptly, and his big head flew out with a blade, bringing a bloody rain.
"Puchi..." The warm blood sprayed Ashina Helu's face. At this time, his ferocious Ashina Helu looked like a ghost crawling out of hell.
Everyone was stunned when they looked at this scene.
Ashina Helu shouted sternly: "Turn your mind and think about it seriously. Eight years ago, from here to the east and to Helan Mountain, it was the pastures of our Western Turks. How many people are there in our Western Turks? How many war horses do we have, how many cattle and sheep do we have?"
Everyone was silent.
Back then, under the leadership of the Great Khan of Tongye Hu, the Western Turks had more than one million households. Even if half of the Ding Zhuang were transferred, they could easily gather 300,000 to 400,000 string control men.
At that time, their war horses were everywhere, and their flocks were more than the white clouds in the sky. From Helan Mountain to Khorasan, hundreds of tribes and hundreds of countries were surrendered to them within a range of more than 10,000 miles.
When they are happy, they can listen to the music played by the Kucha people, watch the dances of the Loulan people, and enjoy the thoughtful service of the Serists.
At that time, no one dared not to obey the orders of the Turks in the entire Anxi area, because resistance meant death, and the Turks' horse hooves would step down Jinweishan three points.
Asina Heluda looked at the special forces beside him, Burke and Berg shouted: "But now? In just eight years, the Tang people pushed westward by 6,500 miles. We lost more than half of the ranch, and Dingkou was reduced by half. If they were allowed to continue to develop like this, within a few years, I, Dajin, will face a catastrophe!"
"Are we Turks weaker than the Tang people?" Asina Helu shook his head, pointed his halberd finger at the square formation of Geshunur, and roared out loud: "No, we are weaker than the Tang people, but because of these traitors who betray the Great Turkic Khanate, this is our last chance! The Western Army of Tang Guoan was not able to arrive in time, and all the only ones came were ungrateful and rude boys. Now, it is our last chance. As long as we defeat these traitors, we can drive them to attack the entire Tang army formation. This is the last chance! If you don't want to fight, you can leave immediately. I want to stay here and fight them to the end!"
After saying that, he flew on his horse and rushed down the mountain with a group of personal soldiers, blew the horn.
Cavalry from the direct tribe of Doroschuan and Ashinahelu were all set up, raised their horse whips, and whipped the buttocks of the war horses hard.
The other knights of Ashinahelu who were attached to the Li army guards also turned red and rushed forward with a scream.
After experiencing initial shock and chaos, the soldiers of the army under Ashinahelu collectively fell into madness. The strong bow and crossbow of the Geshu tribe and the sharp sabers caused them an unprecedented psychological impact.
But the Geshu tribe's powerful crossbow made them even more frightened. Everyone knew very well that if the Geshu tribe was allowed to continue to develop, they would soon have the ability to destroy the Turks. By then, they would have no way to survive!
As the saying goes, one mountain does not allow two tigers, and the grassland can only have one overlord. At the beginning, they stepped on the corpses of the Rouran people and achieved the invincible reputation of the Turks. Now the Geshu tribe has shown signs of strength. We must not wait for them to be truly powerful and invincible. We must destroy them and kill them all while the Geshu tribe is not strong enough!
As long as the Geshu tribe is annihilated, all tribes that are ready to rebel or have rebel against the Turks will feel fear. Only by using iron and blood can the split Turks be condensed again.
At this time, Asuna Helu and his soldiers had only one thought left in their minds, attacking and flooding them with blood.
Chen Ying, Su Dingfang, Liu Rengui, Zhang Shigui and other soldiers on the top of Chisha Mountain were quietly looking at the Turkic cavalry swarming at the foot of the mountain.
Chen Ying smiled faintly and said, "Asina Helu is scared!"
Su Dingfang was stunned and asked in confusion: "General made this statement? As the last general, Ashina Helu still has an absolute advantage."
Chen Ying smiled and said, "He is scared, they are completely scared!"
Seeing that the generals did not understand, Chen Ying continued to explain: "Asina Helu had realized that the Geshu tribe that they had originally been weak and that any Geshu tribe they kneaded would immediately become invincible by the armed forces of our Tang Dynasty. Asina Helu was a smart man. He had realized that with our support, the Geshu tribe had the ability to smash them soon, so he panicked and had to annihilate the Geshu tribe at all costs."
Su Dingfang suddenly realized.
The distance is too far, and Su Dingfang can't see it clearly. If there is a telescope, he can look at the soldiers under Asina Helu through the telescope, all of whom have twisted faces.
The alliance between Chen Ying and the troops of Yibidulu Khan was actually a conditional alliance. He could pay money, supplies, and equipment, but he did not rely on the troops of Yibidulu Khan to resolve all the battles.
Chen Ying needs to continue a myth: "There is no one to stop under the Tang cavalry!"
In fact, Chen Ying learned this trick from the Qing Dynasty. The Jurchens were not as good as ten thousand and were invincible. In fact, to put it bluntly, this was just a star army they packaged in a specific period.
The late Ming Dynasty was actually an era of bad luck, with no worst, only worse. The fall of Ming Dynasty was a large-scale corruption. The only highlight was the Battle of Jiangyin. The clerk Yan Yingyuan led 100,000 righteous people in Jiangyin. Facing 240,000 cavalry of the Qing army, more than 200 heavy artillery, trapped the lonely city for 81 days, causing the Qing army to break three kings and eighteen generals, and died 75,000. It is known in history that Jiangyin was 81 days. On the day the city was broken, none of the righteous people surrendered, and only fifty-three survivors were young and fifty-three.
So the question is, is the combat power of the righteous people so strong? We all know that the untrained people are actually very weak in combat power. Even if Yan Gong's ability is against the will of heaven, he will definitely not be able to exert the combat power of ten thousand troops. It can be seen that the bubble myth of the Qing Dynasty was suddenly exposed by Yan Gong.
When the Qing army attacked, it would first use a large number of servants to make the servants rush and rush hard regardless of casualties, and consume the enemy almost all. It would replace the Qing cavalry that was raising energy to solve the battle in one fell swoop.
In fact, Chen Ying is now taking this approach.
Geshunur was fighting the vanguard in front, while the elites of the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty watched coldly. They fought against more than 10,000 cavalry under Ashinahelu with five or six thousand cavalrymen. The failure was inevitable.
Although they equipped the Tang army's standard weapons, they did not learn the Tang army's real tactics and strategies. At any time, weapons and equipment were not the only key factor in defeating the enemy, and the most critical one was people. For example, in the recent India-Pakistan border conflict, the Pakistani military used the JF-1 fighter jets to fight Su Sanling and MiG-21, and the result was 2-0.
This result is surprising. Although the JF-10 fighter jet has good performance, it is just good, but there is a serious generation difference. For example, Su Sanling is a heavy boxer, while JF-10 cannot even be considered a lightweight, and can only be considered a lightweight. As a result, the JF-10 will make a perfect counterattack.
The cavalry under Ashinahelu was running at lightning speed, quickly surpassing the thunder, and the sharp arrows shot almost covered the sky.
In the past few decades, the Turks have been lucky. They took advantage of the situation when China was weakest, and they had the best chance, like the Tuoba tribe of the Xianbei, drinking horses and the Yellow River, and lying in the north. It was a pity that fate played a terrible joke with them, which made them meet their real opponents when the country was thriving and the Northern Zhou Dynasty was dying.
First, he met Yang Jian, who was very talented and had rare civil and military skills. When he was not aware of defeating the Turks, he paralyzed the Turks by marriage. Then he divided and attacked Changsun Sheng and Pei Ju, one east and one west, and the powerful Turks were divided into two parts. From then on, internal fighting and internal friction became the daily life of the Turks.
"Swish swish swish swish..."
The two sides of the battle, arrows and arrows came and went, the trembling sound of metal trembling and the trembling sound of bowstrings became the main theme on the battlefield.
The valley at the foot of Chisha Mountain has become a cold dead line, and you will die if you touch it!
The knights under Ashinahelu were constantly screaming and falling down with their men and horses. Blood quickly accumulated into a bulge, and as soon as he stepped down, blood splashed everywhere.
The arrows shot by the cavalry under Ashinahelu were also causing heavy damage to the cavalry of Geshu, and people kept falling under the war horses.
Although the casualties of the Geshu army were less than those under Ashina Helu, what made Geshunur extremely desperate was that they finally shot down one, and the Geshunur immediately added one under Ashina Helu, as if it was endless.
What's even more tragic is that Geshunur did not follow Liu Rengui's opinion, and purchased all three types of bows and arrows in the distance, middle and near to form a firepower network that alternates between far, middle and near.
Although the powerful crossbow with great strength is great, the power is mutual. The larger the strength, the more effort it is when used. As the battle continues, the soldiers under Geshu's troops gradually feel powerless.
From the full moon to the first half of the month, to the end, the Geshu soldiers, who were so tired that their arms and waist were sore and weak, said anxiously: "Little Khan, I can't beat you anymore, I can't beat you anymore!"
Asunaguishi gritted his teeth. At this time, Chen Ying had sent a message to ask them three times whether they needed support.
Asina Gushe refused all of them. He needed these credits because Chen Ying wanted to change his head to household registration. A Turkic head could be replaced by a naturalized person, accepted the protection of the Tang people, and could live in the Tang people's city. This was a temptation they could not refuse.
Looking at the tragic casualties, Geshunur said anxiously: "Little Khan, no, the boys died more than 2,000 people, and they can fight less than 2,000 more. I can't fight..."
Asina Guishi gritted his teeth and said, "Asina Helu's losses are heavier than ours. They still have less than 6,000 troops now. We can defeat them..."
A group pulled the bow with difficulty. At this moment, his face became redder and redder. Finally, he vomited a large mouthful of blood.
Geshunur smiled helplessly and said, "I can't hold on anymore!"
"We can't hold on..." Asina Guishi said bitterly in his heart: "Now Asina Helu has been beaten to half a broken body, but it's all the best Tang people!"
"There is no way. If we continue to fight, we will all die!" Geshunur said angrily: "The wounded beast is terrible. Now Ashinahelu is a wounded beast. It is not that easy to get a bargain!"
...
Chen Ying received a message from Asunagus for help, and did not immediately issue an order to attack. Instead, he turned to the commander and said, "Have the Modao Army arrived at the combat position?"
The messenger bowed and said, "When Huye came to report the news, General Zhang was still six miles away from the target position. Calculate the time and should reach the target position!"
In fact, this Red Sand Mountain battlefield is like a dustpan. When Chen Ying observed the terrain, he vaguely guessed that in ancient times, this place should have been a huge river, and this place was an alluvial fan plain washed by rivers. However, later the crust moved and the climate deteriorated, becoming the desolate Gobi Desert.
Chen Ying’s plan is actually not complicated, and it can be said to be very simple.
The Modao Army blocked the retreat of Asuna Helu's troops, while the Hook and Scythe Lancers were responsible for solving the final battle, and the infantry were responsible for collecting corpses and cleaning the battlefield.
Just when Chen Ying did not issue a combat order, Luo Shixin was already in a hurry.
During this period, he was so tired that he raised the iron spear in his hand and said loudly: "This general's iron spear is already hungry and thirsty."
Listening to Luo Shixin's words, Chen Ying smiled without saying a word.
He felt that there was no need to explain to Luo Shixin what it means to be hungry and thirst.
Chen Ying waved heavily and said, "Soldiers!"
The soldiers of the hook and sickle lance immediately looked solemn.
Chapter completed!
