Chapter 142: Battle in Liangzhou (7)
The war horses were neighing and galloping, and the rolling horse hooves rolled across the ground like thunder. In the countless blood, waves of sad neighing and dying roars were intertwined. The harsh sound of swords and weapons colliding across the battlefield. People were in the battlefield, like humble water droplets in the lake. No one knew whether they could still stand in the next moment.
Liu Shan's cavalry chased the defeated Turks all the way. At this time, the Turks could only race with their companions in order to avoid the fate of being massacred. The desolate land outside Liangzhou City was like a national Nadam Conference held at this time, but the death and the blood that was soaring to the point that people knew that this was a battlefield where life and death were facing each other.
Lin Meng's cavalry was getting closer and closer, so close that they could see the faces of the cavalry in front. At this time, the general who commanded the cavalry also understood what kind of soldiers his cavalry was composed of, so the cavalry in the front row tried his best to suppress the speed and prevent the tide of the cavalry from entering the battlefield in advance.
But at this time, the Turks did not know the origin of this cavalry at all. Seeing the cavalry running like a black tide, the defeated Turks fought even more and more. At this time, they wanted their war horses to have wings, but they hated that their horses had only four legs. When these Turkish soldiers thought of the scene of the black tide being pressed, they were already frightened.
The opponent's three thousand cavalry defeated them and defeated them. At this time, the opponent dispatched tens of thousands of cavalry. The Turkic soldiers instinctively believed that these tens of thousands of cavalry were as fierce as the cavalry encountered in front. How could they know that more than half of these cavalry had not been on the battlefield?
The rolling horse hooves moved forward. Every time they escaped for one meter, the Turkic soldiers would throw down more than a dozen bodies. The Tang army who were hiding behind them all spears and chopped the swords to the curling blades. Some soldiers even urged the horses to meet the collapsed cavalry of the Turks and pull the Turks from the horses to death. The iron hooves of the war horses would soon overwhelm the fallen horses until the running horses trampled the people who fell to the ground into a piece of meat that could no longer be distinguished on the ground.
Some soldiers who lost their weapons also grabbed the scimitar from the Turks. The scimitar in their hands was no worse than the Turks, because at this time, they were chasing them and just chopped the weapons in their hands on the enemy's back.
Forced by the formation of tens of thousands of cavalry, these defeated soldiers had long been unable to resist at all. They did not dare to turn back and just urged the war horses to escape desperately.
In this flesh-and-blooded pursuit, the defeated soldiers at the front actually caught up with their former retreating companions. Several tides of defeated soldiers were slashed by Liu Shan's cavalry one by one, and the escape was like a terrible plague, which was faster than the deadliest virus transmitted by the air. Once the collapse seedlings appeared, the Turks' troops were all infected with the collapsed disease.
The defeated soldiers were swept into the chaotic team of the defeated soldiers. Amid the sounds of crying and shouting at her, the scale of the defeated soldiers in front of Liu Shan was getting bigger and bigger, and the number of the defeated soldiers in the Turks had already exceeded the number of cavalry chasing. Of course, this did not include the cavalry led by Lin Meng.
The Turkic troops transferred urgently together at this time, but the enemy saw that they were still slightly chaotic, had to rush forward in advance. If they hesitate for even a minute, the defeated soldiers driven by the opponent would rush them into pieces, leaving them with no chance to flip.
"Class leader, our people have escaped, what should we do?" The rolling defeated soldiers could no longer stop their horse stance at this time, and the deaths followed closely behind them. The tribe leaders of various Turkic tribes had seen their collapsed people. If these people were allowed to rush over, there was no doubt that the defeated soldiers on their own side would disperse the gathering of Turkic cavalry clusters, and the enemy then covered them and killed them, and the collapse of the entire army was right in front of them.
"Arrowman prepare!" With the orders, the Turkish rear army lit up rows of cold bows and arrows, and the tips of the arrows pointed directly at their collapsed front army.
A burly man on the grassland rode out of the array and shouted at the collapsed Turkic soldiers. Liu Shan couldn't understand the Turkic people's shouts at all. There was no way. Liu Shan was not a linguistics, and even if he was a linguistics, he could not learn Turkic. However, Liu Shan saw the man's expression and guessed that the other party asked the defeated soldiers to stop quickly, and even asked the defeated soldiers to turn to attack him quickly. Of course, the man also used a warning tone. If anyone still escaped here and attacked his own army, they would shoot arrows.
The collapsed army was like a huge rock rolling down from the top of a mountain. Who could stop the huge rock while rolling? The Turkic soldiers did not even have the ability to be stunned. They could not control their own people's warnings at all. The torrent of cavalry directly hit their own military formation.
Suddenly, thousands of arrows were fired on the Turkic soldiers' formation, and the sharp whistling sound of air came like dense raindrops. Then, the collapsed cavalry team was shot to death by their own bows and arrows, and a large number of cavalry were shot down in the gallop. They escaped so quickly that even if they lost their lives, the bodies of these cavalry rolled towards the Turkic team. They wanted to return to their own people's arms, but they had no chance. Their own people had shot sharp arrows at them.
The cavalry fell down in large numbers, and suddenly, the defeated Turkic cavalry stopped the war horses, and the war horsemen stood up. In just a moment, there were not hundreds or dozens of cavalry that were dropped from the war horses. The sad cry sounded, behind them were the enemy's ranks covered with the enemy's tail, and in front of them were the arrows of their own people. They were added in the middle, like abandoned children abandoned by their gods. Some were completely crazy, some were completely collapsed, and more people continued to urge the war horses to rush towards their own team after a brief loss of consciousness, rushing and shouting. Liu Shan didn't know what they shouted, and guessed that they should not shoot arrows, but their own people.
But their own people had no intention of holding back at them. The cavalry became corpses on the ground. In the densely packed arrows, the fallen corpses were like hedgehogs, blood oozing out of the arrow holes, and the blood had wet their armor.
Facing the opponent's random shooting without distinguishing the enemy, Liu Shan waved his hand to stop the team. They watched the Turkic soldiers being shot into corpses on the ground almost in a short distance.
At this time, Lin Meng finally rushed over and gathered with Liu Shan's team.
At this time, there were tens of thousands of cavalry on both sides. Although the Turks suffered heavy losses, their team was still huge and terrifying because they had the advantage at the beginning. Moreover, the Turks had gathered together and shot the people they had collapsed with arrow rain. The enemy had stopped. At this time, Liu Shan's plan to block the Turks by relying on the defeated army could no longer be implemented.
"Boundlers, come forward!" Under Liu Shan's order, rows of crossbow cavalry rushed forward. As they were running, the battle crossbows in their hands were already flat. On the battle formation, there were many crossbow cavalry in front of the Liangzhou cavalry. The other party did not understand what was going on. The crossbow arrows shot towards the Turkic team like rain.
The advantages of the crossbow were undoubtedly revealed at this time. Under the shooting of crossbow arrows, rows of grassland rangers screamed and fell off their horses. Facing the opponent's long-range strike force that was many times better than him, the Turkic nobles already knew that in terms of long-range strikes, they had long lost to their opponents. The only thing they could do at this time was to use the cavalry's high-speed charge to rush through this death zone, and then fight in close combat, destroying the opponent's cavalry.
The sound of whimpering horns sounded, and the Turkic army had already started to move, like a giant beast, and the whole army pressed over like howling waves. The earth kept making low echoes, and as the cavalry ran, dust rose up, and a rippling ripples of earth swept across the earth.
