Turbulent Times Chapter 1377: Strange Turkic Khan
(Thank you very much for the generous support and monthly ticket support of 'Feng Mu Chun Jiang', 'Duanmu Qingtian', 'Book Friends 38965322'.)
The infantry of the three thousand whirlwind battalion formed three battle formations, set up their positions in place, and set up a formation,
The soldiers in the first two rows stood holding guns, while the soldiers in the third to fifth rows held crossbows with one hand and guns with their right hands. There are also six giant crossbow guns on each side of the three infantry battle formations, a total of eighteen giant crossbow gun launchers. This was sent by Shen Guoer's military intelligence agency spies just before they chased the enemy.
Whether you look horizontally, vertically, or obliquely, this battle formation is a straight line. The remaining soldiers lined up in neat three square formations. Wang Junlin and Luo Shixin led the other 14,000 soldiers of the Whirlwind Battalion without dismounting. They stood behind the three phalanxes, with the flag flying, and a messenger of the Whirlwind Battalion was drumming excitedly, waiting for Luo Shixin's order , the drums of attack will be pounded.
Eight hundred steps, five hundred steps. Luo Shixin silently counted the distance between the opponent and himself in his heart. When he reached four hundred steps, Luo Shixin waved his hand violently, "Crossbow. Gun!"
Eighteen giant crossbows and guns that had already been ready to go fired at the same time, and the eighteen crossbows and guns shot out like lightning with piercing screams, stabbing the Turkic people viciously The assault cavalry group.
The five thousand Turkic cavalry let out a strange cry at the same time as the crossbow gun was fired, and swung the weapon in their hands out by feeling, trying to block the crossbow gun, but how could it be possible. With the speed and strength of the crossbow and spear, except for the masters in the stagnation period who can barely catch the trajectory and dodge it, and the masters in the breaking stage who can capture the trajectory and block it, it is difficult for ordinary generals in the army, no matter how brave they are. Four hundred steps away to resist or dodge.
However, the Turkic cavalry reacted quickly to this situation. They immediately evacuated the charge formation and widened the distance between the cavalry. The Turkic generals who led the team gave orders when they saw the giant crossbows and guns. The five thousand Turkic cavalry changed their battle formations on the galloping horses, showing extremely strong riding skills, which made Wang Junlin, who was watching the battle, praise I can't help but say that my own cavalry is really inferior to these Turkic cavalry in terms of individual cavalry. Under his witness, these Turkic cavalrymen completed the change of formation with only a little confusion.
Half of the eighteen crossbows and guns missed, and half of them were shot at the Turkic cavalry. Each crossbow and gun shot through six or seven people in a row, and they all fell off their horses and were trampled into flesh by their companions behind them.
In the first wave of crossbow and spear attacks, nearly a hundred Turkic cavalry fell off their horses and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Crossbow gun!" Luo Shixin yelled again, and another wave of giant crossbow guns was shot out. Nearly a hundred Turkic cavalrymen were shot dead, and the distance was only two hundred steps.
"Set up the gun!" With a sound of swish, rows of long guns were set up neatly.
"Crossbow gun!" Luo Shixin finally shouted this word. Eighteen giant crossbow guns shot out the last round of crossbow guns. After going out, one by one picked up the fast crossbows at their waists and became the last row of fast crossbowmen in the infantry battle formation.
Three waves of crossbows and spears caused the Turkic people to lose more than 300 people, but they have not touched the Sui army yet.
It's getting closer, it's getting closer, it's finally getting closer, the horses in the first row neighed, and they turned around suddenly. Bow and arrow, shoot a sharp arrow at the infantry battle formation, the arrow rain hits, and the soldiers lined up neatly can't avoid it. All they can do is lower their heads and let themselves lower their eyebrows and protect their faces , but the distance is too close
A Turkic archer was so good at archery that he shot through a gap in the armor, causing seven casualties in the infantry phalanx. Immediately behind the gaps between the fallen soldiers, new spearmen filled up, keeping the formation tight.
The horses in front could avoid it, but the horses in the back were blocked from their sight and could not turn in time. Like Lin Changqiang, he was met by several spears in the air immediately, piercing into a sieve. The huge momentum caused the spearmen in the front row to fall back heavily, and the Turkic cavalry with excellent horsemanship leaped on their horses, trying to seize the opportunity to rush in and break through the spear formation.
"Stab!" The three captains shouted hoarsely, and the entire row of soldiers raised their spears at the same time and stabbed forward without thinking.
The Turkic cavalry who ran into the formation turned over, but found that around him were gun blades shining with cold light. The long knife hit the real place, and several holes appeared on their bodies. At the same time, the three rows of fast crossbowmen behind them never stopped firing crossbow arrows.
The Turkic cavalry found that the infantry phalanx still made him feel so desperate. The first wave of attacks caused him to lose more than 500 knights, but the opponent's army remained motionless, slanting on the battlefield. After sweeping a circle, they were about to lead their troops to pounce up again.
Wang Junlin gave an order, and Li Shimin and Wang Rengong led tens of thousands of cavalry to kill them from both sides.
"Don't pay attention to the sides, keep going forward!" The Turkic general who led the team knew that although the other Sui cavalry were easy to deal with, the problem was that they didn't have time to turn their horses around at this time, so they could only continue to fight forward with the infantry. Burst.
"Charge!" he yelled.
Like a torrent crashing against a rock, dozens of infantrymen in the front row were knocked to death, but they still put their bodies against the spears and successfully slowed down the speed of the horses. Amidst their sharp whistles, they advanced neatly in rows.
"Stab!" With a sound of swish, rows of long spears stabbed over neatly.
"Second row, thorn!" Another row. "Third row, stab!"
The forest of guns seemed to never end, one row after another. At this time, the three dismounted infantry phalanxes of the Whirlwind Battalion had gathered together to form a huge phalanx, with about one step between each row. The distance, the front row of gunmen finished stabbing, and the moment the guns were retracted, the rear row was inserted. After stabbing dozens of guns, the spearmen at the back rushed to Before, replace the front row soldiers whose arms are sore.
The Turkic people felt that they were trapped in an endless forest of guns. The opponent's formation had advanced for so long, but they were still neatly arranged, without giving them the slightest gap to find. He and his men struggled with the incoming waves of spear points.
Their formation was completely broken up. After some soldiers fell into the gun forest, they were stabbed and thrown out by several guns at the same time in a blink of an eye. The gun forest was forced within a narrow range, and it was difficult to even turn around, let alone speed up.
And under such circumstances, Li Shimin and Wang Rengong led other Sui cavalry to rush forward, instantly drowning the remaining Turkic cavalry.
Not long after, all the remaining Turkic death cavalry were killed. Wang Junlin gave an order, and the army continued to hunt down the Turks.
……
……
After half an hour, Wang Junlin led all the cavalry of the Sui Dynasty
The soldiers finally caught up with the last unit of the Turkic army. The reason why they were able to catch up was because Wang Junlin had already arranged for these Turkic people to retreat. Thousands of landmines were planted on the road, which seriously affected the marching speed of the Turkic cavalry. Otherwise, they would be blocked by the 5,000 death-defying cavalry behind the Turkic army for half an hour, which would be enough to widen the distance.
However, although they had already caught up, they were facing five thousand dead Turkic soldiers. These 5,000 people had a look of absolute absoluteness on their faces, watching the Sui army cavalry chase them frantically.
The Turkic people organized another 5,000 death-death cavalry so quickly, Wang Junlin looked a little dignified, the rest of the Turkic troops had slowly disappeared from his sight, and he only left this troop to stop him, and when he killed them all It will take at least half an hour for a team of troops, I am afraid that the Turkic brigade has fled back to the camp outside Yanmen City by then?
Sure enough, if any nation is driven to a desperate situation, it will burst out with the courage to die, and many dead soldiers will emerge. Wang Junlin shook his head mockingly, and suddenly felt that their previous judgment was wrong. He thought that the morale of the Turkic people was low, and most of the Turkic cavalry were tribal. In fact, most of them were herdsmen, so they should lack discipline.
But I forgot that there is another truth—that is, the truth that mourning soldiers must win, put them to death and survive.
Nie Xiaoyu personally researched the long spear battle formation which has already been verified by countless wars and the corpses of countless cavalrymen--it is the nemesis of all cavalrymen. Therefore, in order to reduce losses, and to kill the 5,000 dying Turkic people in front of him as soon as possible, Wang Junlin ordered the other 3,000 whirlwind battalion cavalry to dismount and fight on foot without hesitation.
Five thousand Turkic cavalry lunatics launched a charge...
After half an hour, there was no Turkic man alive in front of Wang Junlin's eyes.
If he hadn't asked Shen Guoer to lead the spies of the Military Intelligence Office to plant a lot of landmines on the way the Turks retreated, it would have been very difficult for Wang Junlin to catch up with the fleeing Turkic cavalry despite the delay caused by the two waves of dead soldiers main force.
Only this time, Wang Junlin had to stop on the road, and decisively led his people back, because the Turkic Sibi Khan got the news and led a part of the Turkic army to support him. Report in advance, otherwise, when Wang Junlin and his army are exhausted from chasing, if the Turks come with another hundred thousand new troops, they may be in danger.
……
……
Outside Yanmen City, there is a Turkic camp.
Sibi Khan saw that Ashina's heirs only brought back a hundred thousand horses, and his face was so gloomy that he could drip ink.
He sent out 200,000 cavalry successively, but only half of them came back. He didn't know how much the Sui army had lost, but he knew that in this way, plus the loss of 80,000 in the previous siege, and their 400,000 Turks, they had only 220,000 left. They had lost so much without knowing it. Obviously not the result that Shibi Khan wanted to see.
But the problem is, send 100,000 troops first, and then send 100,000 troops to support after a day. This is the order Nie Xiaoyu asked him to issue. Jun, he would not obey such an order that obviously went against his will, but the strange thing was that as long as the order given by Nie Xiaoyu did not cause obvious contradictions in his heart, he would obey it.
