Su Dawei rode on a war horse, and in the military formation, he looked at the Turkic cavalry under black pressure.The two sides were close enough to see each other.From Su Dawei's point of view, you can see those Turks at a glance, brandishing scimitars one by one, with murderous aura, rushing towards the Tang army.An Wensheng and Ashina Daozhen beside him all looked a little nervous.Nie Su, who was on his side, subconsciously clamped the horse's belly, eager to stick to Su Dawei's side."
Ami, do you think these Hu servant armies can stop it?"
An Wensheng said with some concern: "They are all Hu people, and obviously the cavalry of the Western Turks is more elite." ”"If you can't block it, you have to fight to know."
Su Dawei's voice fell, and before the battle, Lou Shide had already raised his hand and shouted a few words, and the flag soldiers on the wooden building waved the flag.From the Tang army formation on Su Dawei's side, rumbling war drums immediately sounded.The sound of bull horns also sounded at the same time.This is a reminder to the Cui Qi Department that the enemy has reached the land of a stone's throw away.The cavalry on the opposite side had already raised their heads to the sky and shot the first wave of arrows, and then accelerated and rushed up.It's so fast that a few breaths can collide with each other.Cui Qi shouted in front of the formation and raised his arm shield.The Tang army soldiers who followed him, as well as the Hu people, also followed suit.Long arrows landed overhead, making a clanging sound.On the ground, a jungle of arrow feathers instantly appeared.The arm shield is mainly to shield the eyes of the war horse, so as not to be unlucky enough to be shot by arrows.Men and horses are now armed to the teeth, and they are not afraid of this level of arrows.Cui Qi moved, he clamped the horse's belly, shook the reins, and shouted to make the war horse run.Around him, first the Tang army, and then the servants of the Hu people, everyone used Cui Qi as an arrow, and the war horse was thunderous.Men and horses with heavy armor can start at a much lower speed than light horses, and the distance they can run at is slightly shorter, so it is necessary to accurately calculate the position of the enemy and control the rhythm.This distance is just enough to increase the speed of the heavy cavalry to the maximum when the enemy breaks through to the front of the formation.That's when the heavy riders show their might.Rumble ~ Follow the thousands of horses of Cui Qi to start all of them.At first, it was an arrow, and slowly, it turned into a wall.The heavy cavalry formed a tight phalanx and slowly advanced forward.The Turks were shouting sharply, and someone was blowing horns.But it was too late to change the formation, and the Turkic cavalry clustered in the shape of a triangular arrow met the thousands of heavy cavalry of the Tang army, and they could only rush forward hard.At a distance of a mile from the front of the Tang army, the two sides came together.Bang ~ The two sides collided, after all, the heavy armor ride was more destructive.The forward cavalry of the Turks was knocked off their horses by the heavily armored cavalry.The Tang army also had many fallen horses, and once the heavy cavalry fell in battle, it was more than lucky.But now there is not much to worry about in the war.Cui Qi changed his usual slow temperament, and drove the war horse to gallop with all his might.The melon hammer in his hand flew left and right, and with the help of the potential energy of the heavy weapon, he knocked down the enemies in front of him one by one.The Tang cavalry that followed him followed him one after another.Everyone seems to be swimming against the current.The Hu people in front kept falling from their horses and collapsing.The Turkic swords slashed at the armor, which could only make the figure of the person on the horse shake, leaving nothing but a white mark on the iron armor.Looking down from the sky, it can be seen that the Turkic cavalry with a large number of people has collapsed under the blow of the heavy armored cavalry of the Cui Qi Department, and the triangular arrows of the original formation have collapsed, and they continue to roll inward, the front line reverses back, and the entire cavalry formation begins to sink little by little.Far in the Tang army formation, the forward horses were restlessly shaking their hooves and snorting again and again.The animals have spirits, and even they feel the atmosphere of the coming of the great war, and they seem a little anxious.An Wensheng put his hand on the pergola and looked: "Cui Qibu has won, and they have broken into the Turkic array." ”This scene greatly surprised him, he originally thought that it would be good for Cui Qi to hold the front, after all, most of the people led by his subordinates were Hu people.Judging from the combat power and determination shown by the Cui Qi Department today, it can be described as a miracle."
I was really surprised that those Hu people did not run away, but risked huge casualties to push towards the Turkic main front.""
Hu people are also people, they can fight against the wind in order to survive, and they can also fight against the wind in order to survive."
Su Dawei explained to him."
What do you mean?"
An Wensheng stared at him in surprise.I was a little ashamed in my heart, when I was in Chang'an, he was all "teaching" Su Dawei and passing on a lot of knowledge to Su Dawei.But when I arrived in Jinshannan, which was thousands of miles away, in the military formation in front of this grassland, there was something I didn't know.Speaking of the An family, he has been a military general for generations, and this comparison has lost his old face.It seems that Ami is right, on paper it is finally shallow, my little thing, if it is not in the battle array, it is fine, but once in the army, it lacks experience.While sighing in his heart that Su Zaishen was growing up fast, An Wensheng heard Su Dawei continue: "It's very simple, I told them that if they lose, the Turks will kill everyone, rob them of all their belongings, and kill all their cubs. ”An Wensheng immediately understood.People can run for their lives to survive, and they can become extremely powerful when they defend something.This is the complexity of human nature."
Something is wrong, the enemy has changed formations."
Ashina Daozhen was on the side, and his face sank.When it comes to horse warfare, no one is better at it than the steppe people.Among them, the pinnacle was the Turkic people at this time.The heavy armor ride is powerful and elite, but the heavy armor also has its own weaknesses.As the Turks changed formations, the central part of the Turkic cavalry began to circle in both directions.This made the front of the Cui Qi Department suddenly empty, like a hot knife cutting into butter, and there was no resistance.But this is not to gouge through the enemy.Rather, the Turkic riders did it deliberately.The forces in the center were dispersed to the two flanks, and with the speed advantage of the light cavalry, like an outstretched arm, they counter-surrounded the heavy cavalry of the Cui Qi Division from the diagonal rear.The strongest of the heavy cavalry is the frontal impact force, and for the side and rear, if there is no supporting tactics of the light cavalry arch guard or foot soldier, it will be an extremely tragic consequence.To all this, the Turks are all too familiar.From the flanks and rear, the archer can shoot the horse's legs, after all, it is impossible for the armor to wrap all the horse's limbs.You can also fly out with a lasso and drag the rider off the horse.At that time, thousands of troops and horses will trample by, and these heavy armored horsemen in "iron cans" can be trampled to death."
Heavy Cavalry Line......
Failed. ”Su Dawei narrowed his eyes, watching Cui Qi being wrapped in a heavy Turkic ride, and the speed of moving forward became more and more sluggish, and his heart sank slightly.After thinking about it for a while, he said to Ashina: "Let Lou Shide prepare, and you can also prepare and act according to the plan." ”"Whoa."
Ashina Daozhen forked his hand, turned his horse's head, and led more than 100 Tang soldiers to ride and move out of the formation.On the wooden building, the flag soldiers of the Tang Army waved the colored flags again to pass the military order.Knock knock knock ~ Dusty sky.In the Tang Army, the servant army belonging to Lu Juan moved forward.Blocked in front of the Chinese army.There were thousands of Turks fighting with Wang Xiaojie's light cavalry.Nearly 10,000 horsemen were trapped hand and foot in order to trap Cui Qi.There were more than 5,000 horsemen left, converging into a new arrow and rushing towards the Tang army.The drums of war grew more intense.The sound of shouting and killing, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, echoed in the heavens and the earth."
It's coming!""
Prepare to take the enemy!"
Lu Juan clenched the horse lance in his hand.The army he led gave up the horse war and dismounted the horse formation.With spears and horse lances as the front protrusions, a dense hedgehog formation is formed.It is certain that if the Turks dared to rush directly, they would have broken a few teeth.At this point, the Tang army did not suffer, and because of the advantage in numbers, the situation was relatively optimistic.Xiu Xiu Xiu ~ Thousands of Turkic horsemen who rushed to the sky shot a rain of arrows."
Shield!"
Lu Juan raised the big shield in front of him and shouted at the same time.The soldiers around him raised their shields and shouted to pass on the order.Poof!
The dense rain of arrows hit the plantains like a rain, and the bells beat against the shield, as if knocking on the door.Tang Jun reacted quickly, except for a few unlucky guys, most of them blocked the rain of arrows with shields.It was too late to shoot a second arrow, and the Turkic wolf cavalry rushed up.Lu Xuan's eyes stared intently at the approaching Hu Qi in front of him, and silently counted the distance in his heart.Thirty steps.Twenty Steps......
Swish!
The Turkic horsemen, which converged into arrows in front, suddenly split in two.bypassed the spear array and outflanked the two flanks of the Tang army.Lu Juan was shocked."
Change formation!
Beware of the wings!
”The forward-facing spears began to move to the left and right, and there was inevitably a slight commotion in the ranks.If the Turks had concentrated their forces at this time, they would have been able to inflict a considerable amount of casualties on the Lu Xuan Army.However, these thousands of Turks did not pay attention to Lu Xuan's people, but quickly swept by from the left and right, rushing towards Su Dawei's Chinese army.Previously, the Tang army had 5,000 light cavalry handed over to Wang Xiaojie.Another 5,000 heavy armored horsemen were handed over to Cui Qisuo.Lu Juan also led 5,000 people, who originally existed as the left wing of the Tang Army, but now he is in front of the battle.There are more than 12,000 people left.In addition to the number of divisions with a rate of six thousand, as the right wing of the Tang Army.The last 6,000 people were directly led by Su Dawei through the Tang Army's own soldiers.Now, about 5,000 horsemen have crossed the Lu Xuan Division, like a surging tide, swarming towards Su Dawei in the Central Army Division and Lou Shide in the Right Wing Division.At this point in the battle, the bayonet was red.Success or failure depends on whether the Chinese army can withstand the impact of the opponent.The last thousands of Turkic horsemen, although not superior in numbers, were significantly more elite.The characteristics of mobile cavalry operations were brought into full play.A rain of arrows was continuously released from afar, throwing them on the top of Tang Jun's head.Observing the changes in the formation of the Tang army, when dodging the rain of arrows, the strength of each department was also clearly revealed.After a few breaths, the Turkic cavalry chose a breakthrough point, and all the cavalry gathered together, like a sharp arrow, and dug into it fiercely.The point of attack is the combination point of Su Dawei's troops and the two troops and horses under Shushide."
There are still capable people in the Turks."
Su Dawei let out an exclamation.can be in the chaotic battle array, ready to find a junction, and dare to lead the army to break through, unless the bold and careful, discerning generals can't do it.The junction of the two armies, with different orders and reactions, is the easiest place to be broken through.Once the enemy breaks through, it is easy to expand the results of the battle and intensify the unrest.If it becomes an attack, the Tang army is likely to have a chain reaction of collapse.()
