Chapter 6 More than ten thousand Tang soldiers counterattack

In the third year of Xianqing (658 AD), the second day of the second month, at 7:00 noon.

The source of the Yiyan River, southwest of the Altai Mountains, the flat Al grassland. The only raised mountain bag was surrounded by 130,000 Turkic soldiers. The water was blocked. About three days ago, the Western Turkic Shaboluo Khan learned that there were only more than 10,000 Tang soldiers, and immediately passed the Khan order.

The ten major Western Turkic surnames each led more than 10,000 cavalry, and together with 40,000 elite cavalry of Shaboluo, formed a coalition army to attack the Tang Dynasty, intending to eat the Tang army. However, the troops were not good at the outstripping. The 130,000 Turkic warriors could not defeat 5,000 infantrymen. The Tang soldiers set up a spear formation, and the dogs bite the hedgehog and had no way to get down, and the Turkic warriors suffered heavy casualties.

The big tent of Ashina Helu was lit in the center, and the eldest son Ashina was busy, and he focused on roasting the whole lamb. Helu sat upright, his beard trembled slightly, his face turned black into the bottom of the pot, and he glared at the people in front of him. There were nine people in the hall, five crossbows and five Dulu, and the big sucks and shijin of each department.

He Lu was furious, and his head was all hanging down wherever he saw him. Is it because the Tang soldiers were too strong, the Turkic warriors were too weak, or if you were not working hard? His eyes were on the empty couch, and the absent Nishu was the damn Nishu.

We are a Turkic tribe. We usually have to close the door and break the head. However, the Tang people invaded a large-scale invasion and we were in trouble of destroying the country. We should abandon past grudges and defeat the enemy together. You actually disregard the overall situation because of your own personal grudges. The more you think about it, the more angry you become, locked in the trap and wait for Jin, and asked coldly: "Ni's troops wait for Jin, but haven't sent troops?"

Bosai Gan Shi Jin was slightly lingering, and said the truth: "Ni Shu fell to the Tang people, and the envoys I sent were also detained by them. Su Dingfang adopted Wu Kang's suggestion. Every time he broke through our tribe, he would collect Ni Shu women and give them to Ni Shu's troops for free."

The atmosphere was extremely dull, everyone was ulterior motives, and they all watched coldly. Ashe Jieque Shi Jin, aimed at Chumukun Qu Luchu, and mocked him sarcastically: "We are watching the Tang Formation. The Western Front, which is mainly attacking the army, has the most casualties. The person responsible for the defense of the Western Front is the twenty-year-old Wu Kang and Qu Luchu's warriors, which are indeed obvious."

Qu Luchuo was angry and counterattacked: "Your left-wing five crossbows were lost, and you were responsible for the weak Northeast line and returned without success twice. There was a saying by the Tang people, "As a 50-step smile, you are both losers, where does your arrogance come from?"

The four major quarrels slapped the table at the same time, and they were cold-eyed against Wudulu, and internal strife had begun. He Lu had a headache, so he quickly smoothed out the situation: "Please relieve your anger, the Tang soldiers are good at the turtle gun formation, and from the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty for decades, we have suffered a lot. However, our soldiers have a lot of power, and the Tang people are unable to last long. If the warriors charge forward again, they will definitely defeat the Tang soldiers."

The leaders don’t buy it, we don’t accept you, what are you? The smart brother Shuqueqijin had a bad idea, and looked at He Lu and said, “It’s easy to break the turtle gun formation. Khan sent heavy wolf soldiers to fight through the shield wall. As long as they break through the shield wall, the Tang soldiers will be sheep.”

The four major qijin immediately supported him, and Hu Luwuquechuo said: "The wolf cavalry is also wearing armor. The long spear formation of the Tang soldiers cannot break the fine steel armor. As long as the gap is opened and the Turkic warriors follow, they can defeat the Tang soldiers. Eat the Su infantry and the isolated cavalry are the things in their pockets."

The five major scubes of Wudulu all followed suit, and the nine tribes reached an agreement. He Lu's face was as deep as water, and the five crossbows lost Bi and Wudulu. Only when you and me were counted, will they work together. I can subdue you and dominate the Western Turks, rely on the eight hundred wolf cavalry. If the wolf cavalry breaks the Tang formation, you will get the advantage; if the wolf cavalry loses, you will be happier.

The big tent was silent, the whole sheep was roasted with fire racks, put them in the tray, and carefully delivered them to them. He Lu took out a bone-clearing knife, slowly cut the mutton, and distributed it to the leaders. He Lu liked this feeling very much, and He Lu wanted to be a knife holder, not a meat-catching man.

The nine leaders feasted, and He Luwang was dazed in the air. After thinking for a long time, he sighed helplessly. He put down his bone-calling knife and ordered his eldest son to go to the fore. "The command was all done. Two quarters of an hour later, the Hundred and Eight Wolf Cavalry was dispatched to attack the western front of the Tang Dynasty. It is said that Wu Kang was the younger brother of Queen Wu, and brought him back to me."

On the west line of the Tang army's position, Wu Kang, who was coveted by He Lu, was lying leisurely on the grass, pillowing Yueling's thighs, and was tireless to read home books. In the twelfth lunar month of the second year of Xianqing, Mei Niang secretly suggested that Li Jiu change Luoyang Palace to the Eastern Capital.

The four counties of Fuchang in Yaogu Prefecture were aligned with Fuchang, along with Heyang, Jiyuan and Wen County in Huaizhou, and Sishui County in Zhengzhou, all of which were under Luozhou, and Li Xian was appointed as the governor of Luozhou. This means that Mei Niang's status was as stable as Mount Tai, and Wu Kang was very pleased.

There is also a more cola, the Shale Kingdom of the Western Regions, which offered two male lions. According to the description in the letter, it should be an African lion. Mei Niang said in the letter: The saints like it very much, and our tiger heads and tiger brains were neglected by the saints. When you return to the court, we will be in Chang'an Hundred Beasts Garden and let the tiger heads bite them to death.

Wu Kang is very fond of evil things, so when I go back, I organize a lion and tiger fight to see who is the king of all beasts. Later generations of lions eat and blow, and they yell online all day long, but they can never see it. Unfortunately, my tiger head and tiger brain are just small South China tigers. If it were Bengal tigers, they would definitely win easily.

I felt the household registration hurt, so I raised my head slightly, and blood flowed. Yue Ling's face was flushed, she shook the dagger in her hand, and smiled awkwardly: "You can't blame me, you just use needles to pick wooden thorns, daggers will definitely not work. Then you can hold on and you'll be fine right away."

The guards couldn't bear to look directly, and continued to cut the tiger's mouth at the tip of the knife, and finally picked out the small wooden thorn. Qian Shun cleaned the wound, Chu Shenke wrapped the bandage, and Wu Kang slowly stood up. Seeing that the people around him were full of people, his face was very strange, and he looked like he wanted to speak but stopped.

Wu Kang moved his neck, took a wine bag and drank a few sips of strong wine, and threw it to Captain Bi Zheng, and said lazily: "Are you all tired? Why do you do around me? Let's go and rest. It's probably not long before the furious He Lu will attack us again."

Captain Bi took a few sips, handed the wine bag to the guards, and said with courage: "The brothers were exhausted when the Turks sieges were attacked twice, and I'm afraid they could not survive a few times. Wu Gong gave him a clear word and had to resist a few more times. When will General Su attack?"

The guards looked at the ardent eyes and focused all over, obviously finding their backbone. Wu Kang pondered silently, looked up at the sun in the sky, showing a warm smile. The Turks' first siege lasted for an hour, and the second siege lasted for only half an hour.

This shows that the morale of the Turkic soldiers has been greatly depleted. In the Battle of the Yiji River, the balance of victory was tilting towards our army. After thinking for a while, he decided to tell stories and calm the morale of the army. He looked at Lin Pinglang and asked a strange question: "If the neighbors in the village asked you for help for three consecutive days and went to his house to carry the grain bag, what would you do?"

Pinglang scratched his head and hesitated for a few moments and replied: "Before, there were often similar situations at Tianzhuangtai, once or twice. If there was a third time, I would be very upset and didn't want to go through it. If I really can't hide my face, I will do my best and will not do my best."

The guards nodded one after another, and almost all of them had encountered common phenomena. Wu Kang nodded with satisfaction and continued to fool him: "There is an article in "Zuo Zhuan" called Duke Zhuang for ten years, which tells the story of the war between Qi and Lu. The Qi people are many powerful. After beating the drum three times, Lu launched a general attack and killed Qi. Brothers, have you heard of it? The famous Cao Gui debated the battle."

Everyone shook their heads in a daze, feeling a little helpless. There were not many scholars, so they shook their heads and continued to explain: "Cao Gui debated the battle, and the two armies fought, and morale was the first. The first drum beat was to cheer up the morale; the second drum beat, morale was exhausted; the third drum beat, morale was exhausted. The Qi army had no morale, and the Lu army was in a prosperous state, so they naturally defeated the crowd with few."

They were confused and Chu Shenke's gang: "Brothers, General Su, the chief general, also adopted this strategy. He used infantry phalanx to carry the cavalry charge to weaken the morale of the Turks. I could feel that the morale of the assault soldiers was obviously weaker than last time. What do you think about Captain Bi?"

Bi Zheng frowned and thoughtful, nodded slowly for a long time, and his confidence was a little lacking: "I don't understand the morale of the Chief Chu, but I feel in my heart that the Turks attacked the last time, which was much worse than the first time. The last time they defended, it was also much easier than the first time, and they were much less nervous. Brothers, think about it carefully, do you feel the same?"

The guards looked at each other, and within three minutes, someone nodded slightly. With the effect of the program, Qian Shun whispered: "General Su's plan is to treat infantry as nails, nail the Turkic soldiers tightly, and gradually erase morale. If I were a Turkic officer, 130,000 cavalry, and if I could not capture 5,000 infantry, I would be dejected."

The crowd laughed softly, and Captain Bi patted his chest and said enthusiastically: "I dare not say anything else. We are the most experienced in the cavalry. Starting from being a mansion, as long as we fight against cavalry, the general will use this trick. The brothers are very familiar with each other."

Wu Kang deeply agreed, and the clues could be seen from the cooperation and positioning alone. Seeing that the guard's mentality improved, he added fuel to the fire again: "If I put myself in my shoes, if I were a Turkic soldier, I would definitely be perfunctory when I failed twice in a row. If I came again for the fourth time, I would definitely be disgusted and I would definitely not work hard."

The laughter continued to spread, and there was also joy. The commander Bi handed over the wine bag and said what he thought: "Mr. Wu means that as long as he carried it twice, the morale of the Turkic soldiers will disappear. General Su will lead the cavalry to hit the Turkic soldiers' butts?"

Wu Kang nodded and said with a firm word: "It doesn't take twice, and you can bear it once at most. The morale of the Turks will be in danger. With the wisdom of his mentor, he will definitely seize the opportunity. At that time, the cavalry will attack. Attack the Turks' butts, cooperate with the infantry inside and outside, and kill them."

The guard applauded, and his spirit came back. Captain Bi spitted thick phlegm and cursed: "The Turkic cowards, relying on the large number of people and power, are surrounding us. The brothers are all holding their hearts. When the whole army attacks, we will start a big killing and kill them."

As soon as he shouted to fight and kill, Wu Kang smiled and kept inspiring people's hearts. Suddenly, a roar sounded, and the sentry quickly sent orders. The Turks besieged again, and the entire army was ready to fight. Zhao Sheng hurriedly reported, his words were a little anxious: "Report to Wu Guoyi, He Lu's heavy cavalry wolf soldiers, come straight to us."

The scene suddenly fell silent, the guards stopped preparing for the war, their eyes focused, full of shock and nervousness. Wu Kang didn't care, and his words were full of contempt: "We have sent heavy cavalrymen, He Lu Qian's donkey is exhausted, and we can't jump for long. Brothers, don't worry, in my eyes, heavy cavalrymen are garbage, prepare for the war immediately."

The guards agreed, and Wu Guojiu was not afraid, and we were even more afraid. The soldiers continued to prepare for war without any panic, and they were worthy of being the elite of Guanzhong. Wu Kang came to the shield formation and looked into the distance. The light of the enemy formation was flashing. It was the Turkic Wolf Cavalry, He Lu's treasure, and the foundation for subduing the ten surnames.

If the wolf soldiers are eaten, not only He Lu will collapse, but the Allies will also collapse. Wu Kang's mind is turned on, and soon he came to his mind and turned around to give orders: "All the sharpshooters stay, the rest assist the shield soldiers and maintain the shield iron wall; all the armored brothers gathered behind the army, with only shields and horizontal swords; the spearmen brothers are ready to set up the gun forest again."

The order was passed quickly, and the guards acted immediately, with shield walls standing and guns rising. Qian Shun and Chu Shenke all sighed and gave the boss a bright light armor. The army formation was filled with slaughter and the Turkic soldiers rushed forward for the third time with the rumbling horse hooves.

Wu Kang sneered and finally saw the wolf rider. This trip was definitely worth it. The knight was covered with armor, and the strong war horse under his crotch was also armed to his teeth. The steel-forged face curtain has two holes on it, which perfectly protects the horse's head. The chicken neck protects the horse's neck, and uses the chest to protect the horse's chest. The war horse is wearing heavy armor.

Li Er's Xuanjia Army also had this configuration, tanks in the cold weapon era. A mere thousands of heavy cavalry and Dou Jiande's 100,000 troops were beaten to death. He Lu's intention was very clear. Heavy cavalry broke through the shield wall and opened the way for the light cavalry. The power of the Tang army's gun forest was reduced. It could not break the armor and could only assassinate the human face.

If you are on the plain, you will be helpless when facing the heavy cavalry. Now you occupy the commanding heights and the speed of the heavy cavalry rushing will be greatly reduced. As long as the shield wall is not broken and the heavy cavalry loses its maneuver, it will be a waste and iron lump, and it will be slaughtered by others.

Fifty sharpshooters lined up shoulder to shoulder, preparing enough arrows. Wu Kang plucked the bowstrings lightly, played rhythmically, and played like a guitar. The wolf rider entered the range and quickly drew out the long arrows. The two stone bows pulled into a full moon, holding his breath and aiming at them.

The sharp sound of breaking through the air, the sharp arrow shot out quickly, hitting the wolf's face. The armored horse continued to run wildly, and the unlucky guy fell off the horse and was stepped into mud by his teammates. The sharpshooter showed off his might and shot only the knight's face. After one round of volley shots, at least ten people were dropped.

The horse speed was greatly delayed, and Wu Kang once again set his bow, aimed at the knight in the front, and the arrow pierced the throat. He shot three arrows in five arrows and killed three lives, and the effect was very good. Chu Shenke and Lin Pinglang almost shot perfectly, killing one arrow.

The impact came soon, and the shield wall fell, and the shield hands flew out directly, wailing endlessly. The spearmen were not afraid, and once again set up the gun forest and headed straight for the knight's face. The knight had no choice but to avoid it, and led the horses to fall off their horses, and the war horses rushed into the formation and bumped into more than a dozen spearmen.

The guards in the back row filled the guns and kept the guns in a mess. The archers subdued the horses. In less than ten minutes, Wu Kang's heart was finally put in his stomach. As long as the guns were still there, he could defend the formation. The officers roared and roared, and the guards were orderly. These five Zhechong Mansions were all elite soldiers in Guanzhong Mansion, and the overall situation was settled.

The soldiers are not many but the elite. Old Su got the true teachings of Li Jing and dared to take risks. Wu Kang replaced the ordinary hard bow, saved his energy as much as possible, and used a mechanical bow to shoot archers. Fifty archers, heavy cavalry who played the greatest role, lost their speed, were their targets.

It is an instinct to seek good fortune and avoid bad luck. If you lose your master's war horse, you will not rush to the Tang army's main formation. You will even turn around and escape, and attack the Turkic back row, causing even greater chaos. The wolf cavalry suffered heavy casualties, so He Lu Khan is probably going to curse and vomit blood.

I don't know how long it took, the enemy suddenly shouted, the heavy wolf soldiers were about to retreat. Wu Kang laughed grimly, and came whenever he wanted to, and retreat whenever he wanted. Where did my old face be? I immediately threw my strong bow, picked up the shield on the ground, pulled the sword across my waist, and roared in a loud voice: "The gun forest can dodge the way, the swords follow me, the shield protects the head, and the blade cuts the horse's legs."

Chu Shen was polite and dark, gritted his teeth and raised his bow and shield, and charged with the boss. He killed the bastard with a thousand swords and just defended his position. Why did he take the initiative to attack? At the same time, he made up his mind that if he had the fate to return to the capital, he would report it truthfully. I hope the queen will be ruthless and will never let you go to war, so I will save my fear.

The heavy rider turned around with difficulty, and the spearmen quickly separated, stood in a wide road, and flashed out a two-foot aisle. This is Wu Kang's masterpiece, referring to the lawn of the football field and the grass to divide the wide and narrow paths. It is mainly convenient for auxiliary soldiers to rescue the wounded soldiers and carry the dead bodies when the guns are standing up.

The flag was swung quickly, Wu Kang raised his shield with his left hand, held the hilt with his right hand, and rushed into the gun forest. Fifteen narrow corridors, swords and soldiers came out one after another, and the guards shouted together. He rushed out of the formation quickly and quickly approached the heavy cavalry, and the blade cut off the rear hoof of the war horse.

The war horse sat behind wailing, and the knight fell instantly and rolled three times in a row. Wu Kang dodged, then slashed the legs of the horse next to him, and tried his best to surging forward. He was soon attacked, and the shield was like a turtle shell, blocking the Turkic spear and firmly protecting his body.

The battle situation was completely chaotic, and people were on their backs and overturned, and swords and soldiers were squatting together, shields blocked sharp blades, and sharp blades cut the horse's legs. If there was no horse's legs behind, they would chop the horse's knights and harvest their lives to the fullest. If the infantry cuts the horse's legs, it would be basically impossible.

Only when the cavalry loses its mobility, especially when turning a clumsyly, can they try. However, it is still very dangerous. They may be hacked to death by the knight, smashed to death by the broken horse, or trampled to death by the crazy horse. Wu Kang did not dare to take it lightly, and under the protection of Chu Shenke, he tried his best to avoid risks.

I don’t know how long it took, the Turkic soldiers quickly retreated, but the army was thundering and thundering, which was the order for the entire army to attack. Wu Kang was stunned for half a second, and his blood was boiling in an instant, and he roared in his maximum voice: "The cavalry is attacking, so brothers, follow me..."

The entire Nanyuan position was like an erupting volcano, and the guards were like boiling magma, devouring everything along the hillside. As expected, Su Dingfang's plan was successful, and the infantry formation wiped out the morale of the Turks. Ten thousand Tang soldiers, who had a burst of morale, fought fiercely for 130,000 cavalry, and could win a complete victory.

The defenders on the western front rushed down the mountain and reorganized the army at the bottom. Wu Kang put away his horizontal sword, took over a spear about a twelve centimeter, and commanded the spear to push forward. However, at this moment, the Turkic ox horn sounded, and the cute Helu did not withdraw his troops, allowing the Turkic cavalry to continue to attack.

Soon the two sides collided, and the enemy and our guns intertwined, countless war horses bleed, and countless lives died. As time progressed, with the strong bloodiness, Tang Bing quickly killed red-eyed. Wu Kang held a spear in his hand and fought on the front line. His fearless aura led to the entire Xinglong Mansion...
