The darkness before dawn swallowed up the light, and even swallowed up the most basic vigilance of the Turkic soldiers.
When the crossbows were overwhelming, harvesting lives like death's scythe, many people were still sleeping.
If the Turkic camp fails, rocks will be thrown from the sky.
There were raindrops of crossbow arrows on the ground.
It was obvious that the Turks' leather armor could not withstand the power of the three-sided armor cone.
The sound of metal piercing flesh comes and goes, making one's scalp tingle.
As one of the most skilled generals among the Turks, Kang Sheoli suddenly jumped up from the ground.
He grabbed the guard's shield with his hand, and arrows hit it with "bang" and "bang".
The soldier next to him was just stunned for a moment, and then received two arrows in the head.
Blood instantly covered his cheeks, and gray-white brain matter flowed out from the back of his head.
"Get on your horse, get on your horse and rush out," Kang Sheoli shouted as he ran towards his mount.
The ancient saying of the Turks is that the closer you are to your horse, the better.
Kang Sheoli followed this training, and his mount was only three to five steps away from him.
Just within these three or five steps, there were two more crossbow bolts on his shield.
Facts have proved that there are many Turks who follow the training.
In the dawn light, the Turkic soldiers quickly found their horses.
As long as they get on the horse, their hearts will feel much more at ease.
Some of them were so heartless that they even planned to rush out and kill those idiots who dared to harass them with crossbow arrows.
But those who do this will eventually become like hedgehogs, both human and horse.
Apart from attracting enemy crossbows, it seemed to have no effect.
From the moment he was awakened by the attack, Kang Sheoli had no intention of fighting back.
It was obvious that the guy opposite was a man who knew Renren very well.
He had been waiting in the cold wind all night just to wait for the moment when he relaxed.
Clearly, his patience paid off.
In the first moment of the attack, many Turkic soldiers were killed.
There were so many that Kang Sheoli could not even estimate them.
In the dim light of the sky, there seemed to be only a few thousand cavalry following him.
In other words, nearly half of his body has been damaged.
Yunhao glanced at the direction Kang Sheoli was running away from and sneered in his heart.
He stood at a high place and everything could not escape his eyes.
There were hundreds of guys behind him, throwing rocks as big as people's heads down.
After throwing away the stones that could be found nearby, they took the bodies of the Turkic scouts on the ground and threw them down.
A cliff more than ten feet high is also very powerful for dead people.
Yunhao arranged this pocket very carefully.
The place where Kang Sheoli was preparing to break out was definitely not a good place.
The ground there was almost strewn with triangular spikes, and hundreds of crossbowmen were stationed in the trees.
Even if Kang Sheo used the corpses of humans and horses, a large ditch two feet wide would be enough to make him extremely desperate.
Not to mention, the wide ravines were filled with straw and kerosene.
As long as there is a spark, Yunhao can guarantee that anyone within a radius of ten feet can feel the heat.
Behind the ravine is Duan Zhixuan, who is waiting for danger.
This guy will not let any Turk escape from his hands alive.
With layers upon layers of ambush, Yunhao felt that he was as decisive as Han Xin.
If he had any advice for Kang Sheoli, he would really like to suggest that Kang Sheoli take another path.
There were two thousand crossbowmen there, and there were only a few triangular nails on the ground.
It seems that only a few people can get out if they suffer heavy casualties.

Kang Sheoli couldn't hear Yunhao's suggestion, so he plunged into a dead end.
The reason is also very simple, this road is the widest and easiest to walk on.
First, the horse fell to the ground with a howl, and then the soldiers who fell to the ground howled miserably.
The sound was heartbreaking, as if he had suffered great pain.
This is true for both humans and horses.
The miserable howls of dozens of Turkic soldiers are mixed together, and the sound will make the ferocious wolf tremble.
Kang Sheoli hurriedly reined in the horse, but fortunately the horse just started running.
Otherwise, inertia will make it carry its owner and plunge into the sea of triangular nails.
"Go that way."
Kang Sheoli turned his horse's head and rushed in the other direction.
Crossbow arrows were shot from time to time in the darkness, and the horse was hit by two arrows.
The painful horse became even more crazy.
Just after galloping a hundred steps, there was a sharp whistle.
The Turkic cavalry installed a metal wall composed of arrows, and countless crossbow arrows came densely.
The hundreds of riders running at the front turned into porcupines in an instant.
The worst one had no less than fifty crossbow arrows stuck in the bodies of men and horses.
There were as many as three or four inserted into one face alone.
As soon as the first wave of arrow rain was finished, the second wave of arrow rain rushed over, and it seemed to be even more ferocious than before.
Then came the third wave, and the fourth wave of Jinyang Army's crossbows seemed to be firing continuously, and the shooting never stopped.
Kang Sheoli sadly discovered that if he wanted to break through from here, he would probably only have a few people left.
The Turks are a tribal society, and the soldiers are actually the strongest men in the tribe.
If all the young and middle-aged people of this tribe die, it will not be far away from being violently swallowed up by other tribes.
At this point, it doesn't matter whether it's capturing Xiongkuo Hai or conquering Jinyang City.
The most important thing is to escape with more tribesmen.
"Go back" Compared to the rain of arrows that seemed to never stop, Kang Sheoli decided that it would be better to go back the way he came.
Although that road is dangerous, there are not many crossbowmen.
They are all veterans of the battle, and you can tell by looking at the size of the arrow rain on the opposite side.
There are no less than two thousand crossbowmen ambushed here.
When Li Yuan started an uprising, all the soldiers were taken to Guanzhong.
There were not many soldiers left in Shanxi.
Kang Sheoli, who had been in Li Yuan's army for a long time, knew this very well.
It is even less likely that there will be many people attacking him.
Since there are so many crossbowmen ambushing here, there must not be many on that road just now.
The dense thorns on the ground are proof.
If there were more people, there would be no need for so many caltrops.
This time Kang Sheoli stabilized his mind and asked dozens of soldiers to dismount and hold shields to clear the way for the army.
The Turkic knights on horseback followed behind.
As long as they found traces of the Jinyang Army, arrows would fly over like locusts.
They are all prairie people who are good at riding and shooting, and their arrows are accurate and hard.
In just a short time of drinking tea, shrill screams came one after another from the trees.
The Jinyang army ambushing in the tree fell from the tree like dumplings.
Fortunately, he didn't die.
Those who tried to escape were shot as if they were targets.
They died miserably.
It seems that due to the reputation of the Turkic cavalry, no one from the Jinyang army who besieged Kang Sheoli came out to fight.

The battle between both sides was completed with bows and crossbows.
Yunhao knows that he is suffering because they are all old, weak and disabled soldiers.
We can make do with crossbows, but if we use bows, I'm afraid not many people have the strength to draw them anymore.
Expecting these people to rush forward and fight Kang Sheoli in hand-to-hand combat is simply suicide.
If a team of capable heavy-armored spearmen rushed forward at this time, Yunhao would be 100% sure that Kang Sheoli's entire army would be left behind.
But now, he can only rely on the numerical advantage that is three times the enemy's and use bows and crossbows to snipe.
The Turks gradually got used to the rhythm of the battlefield, and their protective shields were often used to resist, often causing the crossbowmen to return without success.
The remnants of more than a thousand Turkic troops began to slowly break out of the encirclement.
Those guys protected by huge shields quickly cleared a path.
The large group of Turkic cavalry fled along the cleared road.
Soon someone fell into the two-foot-wide fire ditch, but the width of two feet could not prevent the Turks from escaping.
After testing the lack of triangular nails, the Turkic cavalry used their superb riding skills to jump over the trench on their horses.
"Let's light the fire."
When more than a hundred Turkic cavalry were running across the fire ditch, Yunhao gave the order to fire the rockets.
No matter how elite Duan Zhixuan's Xuanjia Army was, they might not be able to stop the more than a thousand envious Turkic cavalry. .
More than a hundred archers lit the rockets in their hands and shot the rockets at an angle of 45 degrees into the ditch covered with firewood and kerosene.
Orange-red flames suddenly emerged from the ground, like tentacles in hell.
In one fell swoop, the knight leaping into the air was swallowed up, and the frightened war horse fell into the trench.
In an instant, people and horses turned into fire and fire horses, engulfed in flames, struggling, screaming and howling, the sound sounded like it came from hell.
Seeing more than a hundred horses galloping towards him, Duan Zhixuan raised his horse with a grin.
After putting down his ferocious mask, he was the first to rush towards the Turkic cavalry.
Although the Turkic cavalry have superb riding skills and fierce style.
But the Xuanjia Army had more than 500 people, five times their number.
Duan Zhixuan was confident that he could kill these Turkic reptiles even if he stepped on them.
The Turkic cavalry, who was terrified by the fire and screams, suddenly saw Duan Zhixuan, who was like a demon.
There was a panic immediately, and Duan Zhixuan's Xuanjia Army pierced the chaotic enemy group like a sharp sword.
The long horse tree danced like a blooming pear blossom.
A Turkic warrior on the opposite side swung his mace to hit it, but it hit nothing.
There was severe pain in the chest and abdomen, and the body was already lifted into the air by Ma Shu.
Even Duan Zhixuan couldn't bear the fat body.
He threw away the horse and drew out the horizontal knife like lightning.
The action of drawing the knife drew an arc and split the head of a Turkic man.
Then he pulled it sideways and opened a big hole in the ribs of another Turk.
When the two horses pedaled wrongly, Duan Zhixuan even saw Sen Bai's ribs.
A saber does not need to be used to chop horizontally or vertically, the horse is already very fast.
As long as the sword is held horizontally and the horse's momentum is used, it is easy to make a fatal gash in the human body.
Five hundred mysterious armors were like tigers descending from the mountain, and a hundred panicked Turkic cavalry were like fine sand thrown into the sea.
Without even making a ripple, it was swallowed up by the violent Xuanjia army.
Kang Sheoli, who was isolated on the other side by the fire and trenches, had no idea what was happening to his men.
But judging from the screams one after another, those who passed earlier were already in danger.
Rows of crossbow arrows began to shoot from behind.
I don’t know how the Jinyang army arranged it.
The arrows seemed to not need to be stringed, and they shot in waves.
It's like the waves are lapping at the shore, never stopping.
Kang Sheoli even suspected that the Jinyang army had invented the continuous-fire crossbow.

Yunhao stood on the cliff, looking at the battlefield below as if he was watching a show.
Unfortunately, the Eight Ox Crossbow is too heavy and cannot move quickly.
Otherwise, if a volley were fired at this time, there would definitely be a bloody storm in the dense and long Turkic team.
Seeing the soldiers standing in three rows, they took turns shooting.
Yunhao breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, he was a veteran of many battles.
Although physically weak, his discipline on the battlefield is still good.
At least my training these days was not in vain, linear shooting skills.
It can be said that it is the most sustainable long-range strike tactic in the military formation.
Now it is used in the right place to deal with the Turks.
Knowing that his time is running out, once all the crossbowmen gather around.
The remaining remnants of his troops will all be shot to death, and the retreat will be tightly sealed by crossbow arrows.
There was only one way to go now, and that was to cross the burning trench and rush to the other side.
Kang Sheoli shouted: "Warriors of the Great Turks, the bravest warriors of the Ashina family.
The road to survival is in front of you.
If you want to return to the grassland alive to see your family, wife and children, just come with me."
After saying this, he ignored And many.
As soon as he picked up the reins of his war horse, he was the first to rush into the sea of fire and cross the ditch.
The Turkic soldiers behind him shouted and rushed forward.
Some people successfully jumped over the fire ditch, while others fell into the fire ditch and were burned alive with people and horses.
As expected of the descendants of the wolf clan, the screams coming from hell did not stop them in the slightest.
One by one, the war horses, each with their hair curly because of the heat, successfully jumped to the other side with the Turks covered in heat.
But what awaited them was Duan Zhixuan's cold horse and shining sword.
A flash of fish belly white appeared in the east, and then orange-red skylight shot out from the horizon.
The sun peeked out quietly, with orange flames like a huge egg yolk.
The space between heaven and earth is rendered into a red ocean.
The bonfire in the fire ditch has been extinguished, and wisps of green smoke are still rising from the remains of the man and horse.
Duan Zhixuan was covered in blood, and the ground was littered with mutilated corpses of Turks.
They were the only ones who fought hand-to-hand with the Turks in the early morning battle.
With the fire ditch as the dividing line, people on the other side of the fire ditch have arrows stuck in their bodies when they die.
But the body is still intact But when it came to Duan Zhixuan, the corpses were of all kinds.
Lying in various positions, they don't seem to care what happens after the death lamp is extinguished.
The Turks' desperate breakout still caused a lot of casualties to Duan Zhixuan and the others.
Duan Zhixuan received a blow from the mace on his arm, and the tiger head on his shoulder pad was shattered.
This guy is now hanging his arms and leading his men to search for any Turks who are pretending to be dead.
In fact, risking one's life still has some effects on the battlefield.
At least that's what Kang Shaoli felt.
Two thousand of his soldiers were missing, but he was still alive after all.
It's just a bit miserable, with two crossbow arrows stuck in his body.
He was also slashed on the face, and he was followed by less than a hundred people
