Chapter 103
Hu riding back and forth, bow and arrow like a shuttle.

The Sui army lined up left and right, advancing with chariot battalions, with bows and crossbows behind them, and fired at the Turkic cavalry.

Under the banner of the golden wolf, Shibi Khan wrapped his forehead in white silk, his braids were exposed, and he was dressed in a green silk robe, sitting high on his horse.Seeing the Sui army's offensive, Shibi Khan had a look of disdain on his face, but suddenly he let out a cry of surprise.

I saw the central phalanx of the Sui army suddenly split open, and a cold light flashed. The cavalrymen were covered with bright armor, and their horses were covered with horse armor. Such cavalry appeared in the attacking lineup of the Sui army.

Shibi Khan was surprised for a moment, and said with a smile: "Are the Sui army going to charge with men and horses in iron armor?"

"Such a pile of iron lumps, how can they run, how can they bend their bows and shoot arrows? Could it be that they are the target of my Turkic practice of archery?"

After Shibi Khan's words fell, Zhao Deyan who was on the side said: "Khan, you need to be careful. This is an armored cavalry of the Sui court. Its iron armor can avoid bows, arrows, knives and guns. It is the elite of the Sui army."

"No matter how elite you are, you are still a target!" Shibi Khan raised his horsewhip, "Qilifushe, you lead the wolf cavalry and annihilate this Sui army for me!"

"Yes, Great Khan." Tulivshe said loudly. He is the younger brother of Shibi Khan, who holds an official position in the Turkic "she" and has [-] soldiers under his command.

At this moment, the cavalry stepped on the ground.

Li Shimin led the armored cavalry of the Sui army and slowly approached Shibi Khan's wolf flag.

Apart from the private soldiers of the Li family, most of these armored cavalry were Qubu who were raised by powerful men from the five prefectures of Bingzhou.In order to carry out the Khan's mission for this lore, they were drawn from various ministries, temporarily organized into four regiments, and five horizontal teams, with two in front and three in rear, that is, eight hundred cavalry rushed into the formation.

The cold light on the iron clothes, the armored cavalry in bright armor, the cold light is heavy, the red helmet tassel on the head pocket, swaying in the wind, the armored cavalry are holding horses, big guns, and spears to drive the horses forward, every time the horseshoe falls , surpassing a thousand junctures, pushing forward like a giant in iron armor.

At the beginning, the Turkic cavalry was photographed by the momentum of the armored cavalry, and they did not rush forward, but as soon as Liv set up, the Turkic cavalry obeyed the order.

The horn blew, and large groups of Turkic cavalry were mobilized to the front of the armored cavalry.

Suddenly there was a sound of arrows, and several tribes who were vassals of the Turks couldn't hold back and stepped forward together.

Li Shimin held Ma Qiang and looked at Shibi Khan's golden wolf banner, silently counting the distance in his heart.

Seeing that the Turkic cavalry came forward, they did not face the armored cavalry head-on, but used the usual tactics of the Turkic cavalry to move diagonally left and right, copying the enemy's flanks.

Two groups of Turkic cavalry roared out, and they all raised their bows and arrows on their horses.

Run!

Seeing the momentum of the Turkic cavalry, a general asked: "General? Is it..." Li Shimin stretched out his hand and stopped, keeping his expression on.

At this time, the Turkic cavalry fired arrows from a hundred paces away, and the bows and arrows fell from the sky. Most of the bows and arrows landed on the armors of the men and horses equipped with iron cavalry. Down.

Every armored cavalry of the Sui Dynasty can be said to be armed to the teeth, not to mention the armor on the body, and the iron mask on the face, only a pair of eyes are exposed from the whole body, and the war horse under the crotch except for the four hooves is also fully covered. In armor.

In this round of arrow shooting, none of the [-] armored cavalry dismounted.

The eight hundred cavalry trapped in the battle were still approaching the Turkic army step by step, as if they were in danger.

Qi Lifushe, who was in charge of the command, was not surprised at all.

After a round of galloping horses returns.

"Your bows are too soft," Tulliver ordered in a deep voice, "Give me more strength, get closer and shoot!"

After all, Li Fu set up his subordinates to follow the wolf cavalry.

This time the Turkic cavalry not only held bows and arrows, but many also held tripping ropes and lassoes. This time, they came from the front instead of the side, directly pressing against the armored cavalry.

Bows and arrows, horse stumbles, both are sharp weapons of the Turks.According to Turkic law, those who steal horses and stumble will die.

And horse trips are perfect for bulky armored riders.

Seeing the Turkic cavalry dispatched again, Li Shimin narrowed his eyes, still counting silently in his heart.

"Brother Shimin, the Turkic cavalry is coming up again," Chai Shao said to Li Shimin unconsciously, with a look of anxiety on his face, "You can order the cavalry to fall into battle!"

Li Shimin shook his head, lifted Ma Qiang high, and pressed down heavily.

At this time, the sound of horseshoes rolling on the left and right sides, following behind the armored cavalry, the sixth regiment of Sui light cavalry came out from the gaps on both sides of the armored cavalry.

Most of these cavalry are from the Li family's Qu tribe, they are the most skilled at fighting, and they all follow the example of the Turkic cavalry when they walk around on weekdays.

Therefore, in this fight, the Turkic wolf cavalry suddenly thought they had run into their own cavalry.The two sides exchanged bows and arrows, and the arrows shot at each other on horseback. The light cavalry of the Sui Army did not let the Turkic cavalry approach the place where the heavy armored cavalry was.

Smoke and dust billowed, and war horses neighed.

In front of him was a galloping army of thousands of horses. Li Chongjiu only saw Turkic wolves riding, and they did not fight indiscriminately. It was different from the epic battle scene imagined, where thousands of horses charged and collided head-on.

The Turkic cavalry rode and shot obliquely on both wings, and walked away with one blow, whirling like the wind.

Even a small number of elite Turkic cavalry would pretend to be invincible, feigning defeat to lure the Sui cavalry to pursue them.

The Turks brought the nomadic cavalry tactics to the fullest.

After Li Chongjiu died, Li Hu, Su Su, and Sun Erniang were all speechless when they saw it.

The Turkic people are so tough, compared with their more than 100 bodyguard cavalry, that level is not enough at all.

Whether it is the Turkic cavalry or the Li family's Qu tribe, the gap between them is not one or two grades in comparison.

Li Chongjiu shook his head silently when he saw it, thinking that his Huaihuang Town would be based on the grassland in the future, and it might be very difficult.

On the battlefield, the cavalry of the Sui army kept throwing blood and falling off their horses, and some were lured out and surrounded and annihilated by the Turkic cavalry.

Woohoo!

The Turkic horns sounded.

The Turkic cavalry, who had been killed, regained their momentum and gathered troops and horses on the two wings, preparing for the next round of attack.

The assault of thousands of Turkic cavalry caused more than half of the cavalry of the Sixth Regiment of the Sui Army to be lost.

Li Chongjiu immediately shook his head. According to this trend, the cavalry of the Sui army suffered such a severe loss. As a second and third line bodyguard cavalry, he had to go into battle for the protection of armored cavalry.

"Second brother! It's about time."

Li Zhiwan suggested to Li Shimin from the side.

Li Shimin watched silently, the [-] mounted cavalry were already deeply wedged into the formation of the Turkic army.

At this time, the horn of the Turkic cavalry sounded again, preparing to charge the Sui army with cavalry for the third round.Li Shimin gritted his teeth and made a decision at this moment.

Behind him, the drum beat suddenly.

After the eight hundred armored riders heard the sound of the drum, they immediately pulled up the reins, and without turning their horses' heads, they all turned to the striking Sibi Khan's golden wolf flag.

"Oath to kill the enemy!"

Li Shimin exhaled heavily, and raised Ma Yang to the sky in one fell swoop.

The eight hundred armored cavalry all shouted in unison and let out a shout like a mountain roar and a tsunami. The cavalry rode their horses together and began to charge.

Almost at the same time, the Turkic cavalry felt that the ground seemed to be sinking, and saw the armored cavalry of the Sui army rushing towards them like a landslide.

"Bastard, the target of the Sui army is the Great Khan." Tilifer said in a broken voice.At the same time, in the direction of Fenyang Palace, [-] imperial guards of the Sui Dynasty began to make efforts to break through.
