Section 237 Midnight Raid (3)

Chapter 237 Midnight Raid Three

Faced with the chaotic enemy, Liu Shan's army was like a group of wolves rushing into the flock of sheep. From the long sword, there were splattering blood everywhere, and splattering broken limbs everywhere.

However, the Turkic soldiers were not sheep. They were just beginning to be stunned. When some people recovered, they had already rushed towards the Liushan army.

But the army has never been a place to show personal force. No matter how brave you are or how powerful you are, even if you are like the King of Chu, facing the enemy of all sides and surrounded by all directions, you could only commit suicide.

What's more, the ordinary Turkic soldiers at this time, although they were not afraid of death, and although they never lacked courage and force. However, they just lost what the army should have the most, and they had no discipline.

Facing the fierce Liangzhou Legion, their personal courage that had lost command, immediately ushered in a sea of ​​sword forests and spears. The Turkic warrior who rushed in front was still charging like a strong leopard for a second, but the next moment, several spears had been inserted into his chest. The bloody spear penetrated his body, and then pulled out instantly. The drawn spear was connected with blood beads. Under the firelight, it was extremely scarlet and terrifying.

Liu Shan's soldiers were like iron walls made of steel. The horse's hooves were pedaled, and the warrior's spear and sword quickly gathered in front of the warrior into a cold steel of death.

The bravest warrior first hit the cold steel light. The next moment, the body that was poked by a spear, which was no longer human-shaped, fell to the ground weakly after the cavalry pulled back the spear. The Liangzhou Army was like a well-trained murder machine. The horse stance continued to move forward, and the guns continued to move forward. Rows of soldiers fell to the ground, being stepped on by horse hooves, and blood spurted out. The dead bodies were constantly deformed by the strong horse hooves when they stepped on the horse hooves. The Turkic soldiers who were just shy of a stern face were also faintly panicked in the face of this one-sided battle situation.

They were able to come to Liushan's camp as night attack troops, and they were undoubtedly elite soldiers of the Western Turks. They also proved their courage with their performance. But at this time, the battle situation was really unfavorable for them.

At the beginning, their team mingled with Liu Shan's men. As soon as their team arrived here, they were in chaos, and their spirits at the beginning had almost disappeared. Later, they saw a strong explosion that they could never forget in their lives. They had heard of such an explosion before in the war outside Liangzhou City, but they had only heard of it. No one had really seen such a strong explosion that could tear people apart in the air, break up people into pieces, and instantly lifted the war horses that had been hit by hundreds of pounds. Such a power had long exceeded their understanding. At this time, they had already planted fear in their hearts.

Afterwards, they were surrounded by Liu Shan men who had been ambushed in advance, just like Gaixia surrounded by enemies and all directions. In this case, even the most powerful soldiers had no spirit or morale.

At the beginning, they resisted, which was just their always fierceness and courage that drove them, and was an instinct for the most powerful warriors. But when they saw that their desperate rush caused little damage to the enemy, they finally collapsed.

This trend of collapse began with a few soldiers and then quickly swept the entire team like the most severe infectious disease.

At this time, the cavalry teams surrounding them from other directions had also arrived.

There were crazy sounds of chopping and slashing on all sides, and the last shrill roar before death resounded through the headphones. Horse hooves moved, armor collided, death roared, and blood splattered all kinds of sounds mixed together. Some people in the Turkic team put down their weapons, some were already kneeling in front of the cavalry rushing over, and some even rushed towards the cavalry marching like crazy.

Iron walls destroyed the last resistance force, and more Turkic soldiers had already put down their weapons, and the sound of weapons falling on the ground was falling. Groups of Turkic warriors fell to the ground like wheat waves blown by the strong wind. They stepped on their iron hooves, and the weapons they threw on the ground were picked up. They were forced by Liangzhou soldiers to withdraw from the battlefield in groups with swords. The team of the Western Turkic night attack finally collapsed.

On the evening of August 23, the fourth year of Wude, 50,000 elite Western Turkic soldiers led by the Western Turkic general Turkic attacked Liushan's military camp at night. Except for the 17,000 surrendered people, the rest were completely wiped out by Liu Shan's army.

Afterwards, more than 10,000 prisoners were received by Princess Yicheng from Liu Shan. The reason why these prisoners were taken by Princess Yicheng was because the Liushan army was fighting on the grassland at this time, which was in the sphere of influence of Princess Yicheng. The food and grass brought by the Liushan army was only enough for one month to eat, and their future supply of food and grass would depend on the Turkic country.

There is nothing wrong with Princess Yicheng's request to accept these prisoners. As Liu Shan's strong ally and has an unbreakable personal relationship with Liu Shan, Princess Yicheng's request to accept these prisoners, but Liu Shan did not think it was wrong. Moreover, it was difficult for Liu Shan to deal with these prisoners to keep them. You must know that these people have to eat and live. The tents and food of Liu Shan's army were not sufficient, so how could there be extra supply of prisoners? Moreover, Liu Shan also understood that these prisoners could not be taken into the army. The East-West Turks had been fighting for a long time. If these people were taken into their own team, they would not only dare not use them, but also have to be wary of these people at any time. Therefore, it is actually normal to hand over these prisoners to the Turkic forces represented by Princess Yicheng.

On August 29, 621 AD, autumn was already there on the grassland. When the cool breeze blew, tens of thousands of prisoners were escorted on the open grassland. Then, in front of a woman in white, the executioner holding a butcher knife chopped off the heads of people from their necks in the autumn wind.

Of course, these are all later stories, but later generations recorded this way when talking about the night attacks of the Western Turkic organization.

On the night of August 23, the fourth year of Wude, the Turks attacked the Liangzhou Army camp of Liushan at night, and no one survived.

Such a brief record appears in a thick book of the Han King's expedition. After all, there are too many battles of tens of thousands of casualties in Liu Shan's life experience. A small night attack is really difficult to form a series of long-term biography in Liu Shan's life.

However, this concise record made many people in later generations misunderstand that Liu Shan slaughtered all the Turkic soldiers who raided that night.

In fact, these are all misunderstandings. Liu Shan, as the person involved, did not care too much about this matter afterwards because of his relationship with Princess Yicheng and his sympathy and emotion for this Han woman who married on the grassland. Therefore, history has laid a misunderstanding that no one will explain.

At 3:00 a.m. on the night of August 23, the fourth year of Wude, he quickly cleaned the battlefield and took the surrendered prisoners to the rear camp.

The Turkic corps in Liushan's army appeared on the grassland in the horizon. Their total number was about 50,000, which was similar to the Western Turkic army that attacked tonight at night.
