Chapter 552
All the troops were divided into two parts by Tiehamu, attacking the camps outside Gucheng.
But they didn't expect that the trap had been set up around the camp. When the first group of cavalry rushed over, they fell down. The followers could not stop for a moment and fell down one after another.
Below the trap is a thorn fence made of sharpened wood, and there is basically no possibility of survival if it falls down.
The Turkic army suddenly became chaotic, and the subsequent army did not dare to step forward easily. Just as they were staying, Li Fei ordered the catapult carts and heavy crossbow arrows in the camp to exert force at the same time.
The screams suddenly sounded, and most of the Turkic soldiers who came to siege were immediately injured.
The tactics used by the other camp were exactly the same as those on this side, and also caused great damage to the Turkic army.
Tiehamu was filled with horror. He had never experienced such a war, and he was panicked for a moment.
After all, he was also the Grand Marshal of the Turks. He quickly calmed down and ordered all the troops to retreat. At the same time, he gathered the archers and planned to shoot against the Shang army.
Unfortunately, his wishful thinking failed.
The crossbow arrows and catapults of Da Shang are placed at a very long distance, and the strongest three-component bus crossbow can even shoot thousands of steps.
Not to mention the catapult cart, it starts at least 600 steps.
Ordinary crossbows are also more than four hundred steps!
The Turkic bows and arrows are simple to make, and the arrows are not professional, so they cannot continue to fly in the air. It is a miracle that they can shoot two hundred steps.
Such a gap cannot be made up by tactics and battle formations, but the crushing of lower civilizations by higher civilizations.
According to the current national strength of Da Shang, it is easy to make these catapults and roads, and arrows can be transported here continuously, and they can only be made on the spot in the military camp.
The Turks were no longer able to do it. After the arrows carried by the army were shot, their bows and arrows became waste.
Therefore, the arrows that the Da Shang army could take out were several times or even dozens of times that of the Turkic army.
After half an hour, the Turkic army responsible for the attack was injured countless times, but none of the Shang army was killed.
In the end, the Da Shang army became numb. This was not a war for them, but a unilateral massacre.
You only need to simply control the crossbow and catapult cart to kill the opponent on a large scale.
Zhao Rui stood in the middle of the camp and looked coldly at the Turkic army opposite.
I don’t know how long it took, but perhaps Tiehamu felt that such an attack suffered too much loss and could only order the Turkic army to retreat across the board.
"Your Highness, do we want to chase after you?" Li Fei looked full of fighting spirit.
"Don't chase the poor enemy!" Zhao Rui clapped his hands and turned back to the camp.
Li Fei didn't say anything more. She knew the strength of the Turkic army. If the Shang army fought against the other side, they would only be defeated miserably.
When two armies fight, they must give full play to their own advantages and must not use their own weaknesses and the enemy's advantages to fight.
This point has been emphasized in military books of all dynasties, so Li Fei naturally knew the key.
Zhao Rui picked up the tea can on the table and stared at the map intently.
"Send the order to gather all the people in the army who are good at riding and shooting, distribute bows, crossbows, and arrows, and form a vanguard army. I will lead them to raid Tiehamu's camp."
