Chapter 109: The War Starts Again (Part 2)

With the crossbow arrows shot, the war horse had already fallen to death, or would have been separated from his master in panic. Amid the screams, a large number of casualties quickly appeared in the Turkic soldiers' team. Just one round of shooting, the Turkic cavalry lost at least half of them.

In order to show off their majesty in front of the Tang army, they were too close to the city wall. At such a distance, the natural force of bows and arrows was not enough, but for crossbows, such distance was naturally within the effective range.

Moreover, Chen Hu's people are the elite in Liu Shan's hands. In these days, Liu Shan has obtained a large number of combat crossbows, and Liu Shan deliberately trained his skills in shooting crossbow arrows. On the way to Liangzhou, Liu Shan has not purchased many crossbow arrows, and a considerable number of these crossbow arrows are used by cavalry riding on horseback to practice shooting.

Moreover, compared with crossbow archers, the training of archers is more difficult. Generally, the time required to cultivate a good archer is calculated in months and years, while the training of a crossbow archer is much simpler than that of a archer.

In addition, Chen Hu's man had long been well-trained archers, and he learned faster than anyone else when he used crossbow arrows.

Originally, the Turkic cavalry gathered together, so the casualties of the Turkic cavalry were particularly heavy when they were shot.

The Turkic soldiers screamed, and the wounded touched themselves and were shot out of the hole by the crossbow arrows. They roared shrillly in the bloody place. They were like wounded wild wolves. These Turkic people were indeed powerful. After the beginning of chaos, the Turkic people immediately seemed to have some explosive bombs. The Turkic people immediately dispersed and ran away from the range of the crossbow arrows to escape.

The horses naturally whipped the horse hard with a whip, hoping that the horse could fly. They even used a knife to slash the horse's butt, hoping that the horse would run faster. The horses were shot and ran hard with two feet. In the short distance, their speed was almost the same as the galloping horse. People often burst out with particularly great potential when facing the test of life and death. At this time, these Turks were no exception.

The wounded soldiers also ran hard, hoping to escape the range of the crossbow arrows. Of course, those who ran hard were injured in other parts of their bodies, and their legs and feet were fine. Those who were injured in the legs were miserable. They crawled on the ground, blocking the blood holes in their legs with their fingers, crawling forward like ivy, leaving them lined up with their blood stains on the ground.

None of the Turkic cavalry who rushed towards the city wall just now continued their original direction. At this time, their backs were all facing the city wall.

In fact, they were provoking from the beginning, and they deliberately teased these Tang army's border guards. They used to teasing these people like this before, and the same was true tonight. They also knew that their only 100 people could not take over this border town. They just wanted to be arrogant, be cool and show off.

However, they didn't expect that there was a reinforcement army here today, and the origin of this reinforcement army was beyond their imagination. Whether they thought about it or not, they only knew that there were crossbowmen in this border town, and there were quite a few crossbowmen. Once they met, most of them were destroyed by the other party. At this time, they just wanted to run out of the range of these crossbowmen, and who would still want to continue to act cool in front of the Tang sergeants?

Looking at the retreating Turkic cavalry like a retreating tide, Chen Hu's men did not stop at all. The retreating Turkic cavalry fell down one by one, and the powerful crossbow arrows even penetrated their bodies. There was no way to see the crossbow arrows inserted into them. All they left were shocking blood holes, and blood was filled with the shrill roars of these fierce Turkic soldiers. Almost every step they escaped, they had to throw down several corpses. On the way they escaped, they were covered with messy Turkic corpses.

And just as they were about to escape from the crossbowman's range, behind them, the sound of the cavalry's hooves sounded. They heard the neighing sound of war horses and ran faster.

However, after these Turkic soldiers ran away not far, they were surprised to find that the sound of horse hooves behind them did not disappear, but instead became closer and closer.

After they were shocked, they suddenly felt that the sound of horse hooves behind them was so thin that there were not many people chasing them.

At this time, they dared to look back and suddenly, the remaining dozen people saw that they were chasing like lightning, and the horse was incredibly fast. The Turks were good at raising horses, and the horses on the grassland had always been of excellent breed, extremely endurance and running quickly. They dared to be arrogant at the feet of the Tang army because they knew that their horses were faster than those of the Tang army. They were not afraid of the Tang army coming out to chase them. If there were fewer people coming out, they would chop the chasers. If there were more people coming out, they would run away. Anyway, the Tang army would not catch up.

However, the cavalry behind them was surprisingly fast. Although they had already urged the war horse under their crotch, the other party still chased after him step by step.

Suddenly, these Turkic soldiers felt that they were sick. There was only one person chasing them, so why did they run so desperately?

At this time, even these Turkic soldiers were almost laughed at by their stupidity. The other party sent a soldier to chase them. With more than a dozen people, they were chased by the other party and ran away desperately. They were always chasing others, but today they were actually chased by a soldier from the Tang army and ran all over the world.

Thinking of this, the Turkic soldiers immediately stopped the war horses. Today, they had fought a Autumn Wind in a village on the border of the Tang Dynasty and stole a lot of things. When they came back, they wanted to tease the Tang soldiers in the border towns of the Tang army. Unexpectedly, they did not make any teasing, and even caused them to lose their troops. These Turkic soldiers were already in anger. At this time, the Tang army sent a small soldier to chase them, and they could not bear it. Seeing that the people around them stopped, the Turkic soldiers who were fleeing with them also stopped the war horses. More than a dozen fierce Turkic soldiers like wounded wolves turned their horses one after another.

"Where is your General Liu?" At this time, the person who sent the prince away, the border guard of Liangzhou finally came back. As soon as he came back, he heard that the Turks in the north came to harass the border again. He hurried here. When he arrived, he had already learned from the soldiers that Liu Shan was leading people to defend, but as soon as he stepped onto the city wall, Liu Shan was not seen.

"General, General Liu is there." Neither Yi'er nor Chen Hu answered. His subordinates pointed to the back of a cavalry in the distance and said to his immediate superior.

"General Liu led his troops to pursue the enemy, and that would be a victory." In fact, he didn't know what to call Liu Shan's name. Liu Shan was ordered to come to Liangzhou to coordinate the defense this time, but he did not have a position. He should have been to Chang'an to be granted, but he detoured Chang'an and walked on the northern edge of the Weishuiyuan. According to Liu Shan, it was to avoid the prosperous Guanzhong area and avoid disturbing the people. Moreover, walking from the north can reach Liangzhou faster, and the rescue soldiers were like putting out fires, so there was no hesitation at all. Therefore, although Liu Shan was coordinating to defend Liangzhou at this time, he did not have any official position, and the guards of Liangzhou could only be called General Liu.

"General, victory is victory, but General Liu did not lead troops when he was chasing him." After his subordinates said that, the Liangzhou ward was nodding, and suddenly his face changed drastically. He looked straight at the back of the cavalry who was about to leave his sight in the distance, and turned to look at his subordinates.
