Chapter 157 Punching the old master to death

Seeing that the Turkic people really set up the formation as he expected, Yinghefu couldn't help laughing up to the sky, and said: "Your Majesty, the Turkic people are really fooled, hum, we have been bullied by the Turkic people for a long time, and the armor is not as good as before. He is tough, the sword is not as sharp as him, and the arrows are not as far as he shoots. Now our warriors are equipped with the weapons of the princes, so what are we afraid of? We must teach them a lesson today."

As Yinghefu's voice fell, the horns sounded from the Turkic formation.The Turkic people on horseback slapped their leather shields with knives one after another, and shouted loudly, making sounds like howling wolves.There was another commotion in the caravan camp, but the Cangtou Army camp was even more silent.

In order to maintain their horsepower, the Cangtou cavalry on both wings did not mount their horses.Due to the lack of horses in the Sui army, there was no change of horses. Therefore, in order to save horsepower, they did not mount horses before the battle.Another advantage of not getting on a horse is that it makes it difficult for the enemy to find the location of their own cavalry.

After the whole cavalry cheered, the horses rolled their hooves and marched closely.The Turkic people are very confident. If the cavalry fights in the field, they will be number one in the world after defeating the Rouran people, and they will cross the grassland.In their eyes, the Han cavalry is not worthy to compete with them on horseback.Since the Turkic army thought they were sure of winning, they naturally attacked the formation. Li Chongjiu saw that the opponent's formation changed from two straight forward horns to spread out its wings and turned into a giant eagle.

Showing off their horse skills, the whole cavalry spread out from both wings.Li Chongjiu could vaguely see that although the opponent's two wings were spread out, the strength of the right wing was obviously stronger than that of the left wing, and the knights were also more agile and sturdy.Can the corresponding cavalry of the third regiment of the left wing of the Cangtou Army compete with it?

When the Turkic right-wing cavalry approached within half a mile, the cavalry of the Cangtou Army still hadn't mounted their horses.

"Get on the crossbow!" Li Chongjiu saw Wang Mahan yelling loudly from the left flank. A group of cavalry crouched behind the horses and raised the crossbows in their hands at the same time, while the rest of the cavalry raised them one after another and pulled them away beside the horses. The step bow of one stone and a half was drawn at the same time, aiming at the galloping Turkic cavalry.

The cavalrymen of the whole army rushed forward, and when they approached a hundred paces, the front row of Cangtou soldiers fired their crossbows and arrows together.The five or six Turkic cavalrymen who charged first were immediately shot off their horses, and then a hundred cavalrymen also shot with their bows in volley, and brought down another seven or eight Turkic cavalrymen.

The Turks didn't rush into the Sui army's position with a hasty attack, but shot a feint, and the horse galloped past.The Turkic man tightened the M-shaped bow in his hand, and shot it towards the sky above the Cangtou Army, and then it became dense arrow feathers, falling all over the sky.For such a rain of arrows, the Cangtou Army took up their leather shields to block them.At this time, Wang Mahan shouted angrily at the side, saying: "What do you block, let me shoot the arrow!"

Several war horses were shot, neighing and jumping wildly on the spot, and several people from the Cangtou Army were also hit by arrows. Since the whole cavalry used iron arrowheads, although the Cangtou soldiers and horses were all wrapped in leather armor, they were Not much protection.The Cangtou Army had no choice but to face the arrows constantly flying above his head, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and use the arrows to reflect back.Yinghofer saw that the three cavalry regiments on the left were at a disadvantage when they shot each other, but they still did not get the Sui army to mount and attack, but still stood firm.

At this time, the right wing drum of the Cangtou Army suddenly sounded. It turned out that Ertuo led two hundred armored cavalry and four hundred Xibu cavalry, and began to take the initiative to attack the oncoming Hunbu cavalry.Etuo obviously wanted to take the armored cavalry as the vanguard, and conduct a real cavalry confrontation with them, and make a quick decision.Compared with the lively fighting on the two wings, the Turkic central cavalry in the horn formation obviously had no fighting spirit and walked slowly, and the distance from the central infantry of the Cangtou Army was still two miles away.

It can be seen that Yinghofer's plan of falsehood and reality has worked.

At this time, the right wing of the Turkic cavalry suddenly changed. The Hunbu cavalry with more than 800 cavalry suddenly separated more than [-] cavalry to bypass the Cangtou Army on the left wing, and directly outflanked the rear.Their intention was obviously to attack the camps where the caravans and refugees with little combat effectiveness were located. This move would cut off the retreat and shake the morale of the army.Obviously, this hunbu jinjin is not just the tactic of breaking through the two wings.

Yinghe Fu's face sank, and he asked Li Chongjiu immediately: "Can they resist the camp in the rear for a while? It's fine for a while, and there are more than 2000 of them anyway."

Li Chongjiu glanced at Yinghe Fu angrily. Fighting is not about addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. If you only look at the number of people, the bandits would have taken over the world long ago.Li Chongjiu said immediately: "Yinghefu, you are here to direct the battle situation, and I will go to the rear to stabilize the morale of the army." After speaking, Li Chongjiu rode away.

And the merchants in the camp at the rear saw that the Turkic people had sent out hundreds of cavalry to kill them aggressively, and they were already in chaos.As the backbone, Lin Dangfeng shouted and shouted again and again, but he couldn't suppress the businessmen whose legs became weak due to the fright of the Turks.Seeing the chaos in the camp, the Turkic people were even more happy. As soon as the two hundred cavalry speeded up, they rushed towards the camp like arrows leaving the string.
"What are you panicking!" At this moment, Li Chongjiu rode his horse to arrive, raised his whip and whipped a few times first, he was like a headless businessman in the camp.These few people are useless, if the Turkic people kill them, it's fine if they don't want to resist, but if they continue to add chaos here, they are more like Turkic spies.

"Don't even think about running. This is the grassland. Can you run with two legs better than a cavalry with four legs? If you want to live, give me the strength to die." Li Chongjiu yelled at the crowd.

Seeing Li Chongjiu's arrival, all the businessmen felt certain in their hearts, Lin Dangfeng's words gained strength again, and he said, "Men, if you have eggs, take your bow and go to the wooden fence for me."

Hearing what Lin Dangfeng said, hundreds of businessmen with some courage stepped forward with various bows and arrows.

Li Chongjiu yelled loudly at this time, and said: "If you don't have a guy in your hand, copy it to me, and listen to my order later. When the Turks come up, they will greet you with a guy, understand?"

Li Chongjiu rode his horse back and forth in the camp. Hearing their shouts, refugees and merchants held sticks, clubs, and anything that was good at it.After these people held them in their hands, although their lips and teeth trembled up and down, and their bodies still swayed uncontrollably, at least there were no people screaming loudly or walking around.

The Turkic cavalry were still approaching, and when they were about seventy or eighty paces away, the people in the caravan couldn't wait to shoot all the arrows in their hands in a disorderly manner.The random arrows didn't make a few Turkic people fall off their horses at all.

The faces of the Turkic cavalry were all grinning, and they raised their bows with their backhands. They raised their bows and shot at the anti-horse fence. After a rain of arrows, more than 30 businessmen were killed or injured, screaming and writhing on the ground. body.Many Turkic cavalrymen even picked up leather and stone ropes, spun around their heads, and threw stones across the air, smashing their heads and faces.The merchants were bruised and swollen. Seeing that they had managed to gather a little morale, they were about to collapse.

But at this time, the situation suddenly changed. The Turkic cavalry rushing forward suddenly emptied their front hooves one by one, and fell down on their horses one after another.A dozen or so businessmen who were about to run back saw this scene, and they were all amused.

A few people even clapped their hands heartlessly and laughed loudly, saying: "Down! Down! Another one down!"

"Give me a dismount!"

At this time, everyone saw that on the ground in front of the camp, there were quite a few small nail-like things standing upright towards the sky.These small iron nails were all covered with soil, making it almost impossible to see clearly, but once the Turkic horse's hooves were stuck on them, the entire war horse would fail immediately.When the Turkic people saw that more than a dozen horsemen fell down for no reason, they all stopped their horses one after another and cursed one after another, obviously annoyed at the Sui people for their despicableness.They also identified that Cangtou Army was using barbed terriers.

The merchants regained their morale and fired arrows at the front to counterattack. Hundreds of random arrows passed by. Although they didn't hit a few, they still forced the Turks back.Seeing that the Turks, who were always as brave as tigers, were shot back, everyone's morale was boosted immediately, and they cheered in unison for only a moment, but they stopped abruptly.It turned out that the Turkic cavalry dismounted one after another and came up again.

In the midst of the battle, the air swirled, and the leather and stone rope wrapped in the smooth boulders made a wheezing sound in the air, and then the stones were thrown one after another, and a dozen people were blown out of their brains in an instant.

Li Chongjiu was furious at the moment, got off his horse, grabbed a quiver, and shot at the Turks with a three-stone bow. No one should be shot down.Seeing that Li Chongjiu was so brave, everyone immediately drew their arrows and fought back.

The two sides shot at each other for a while, and after 50 people were killed or injured, the brave Turkic cavalry had already split the wooden fence and entered the camp.

"If you kill a Turkic man, you will be rewarded with ten pieces of money!" Lin Dangfeng shouted angrily.
Hearing the reward of ten strings, the refugees all turned red-eyed, rushing forward one by one.At present, thousands of merchants and refugees, behind dozens of courageous people who were lured by money, held sticks, branches, stones, and all kinds of convenient things in their hands, facing the Turkic people who broke through the camp. A flurry of rocks and sticks.

The poor Turkic cavalry gave up their advantage on horseback. Although dismounted and fought on foot, they were still brave and sturdy, but when they encountered such a chaotic battle with a large group of ordinary people, a dozen people greeted each other, they couldn't stand it now, and left more than [-] corpses behind. They were driven out of the camp together.As for the five or six who ran a little slower, they were all dragged into the camp. Dozens of them kicked and punched them indiscriminately. A burly and sturdy man was beaten to death with blood spurting from his mouth and nose.
"Damn, I also killed the Turkic people, and I can brag with my mother-in-law and bastards when I go back." Several people looked at their hands in disbelief and laughed.
As for the refugees who beheaded the Turkic people, they even grabbed the corpses and fought with each other, shouting: "Mine! Mine! This is mine."

Seeing this scene, Li Chongjiu and Lin Dangfeng couldn't help but looked at each other and laughed.
