Chapter 340: Unparalleled Divine Power
On the eastern foot of the Fallen Mountain, on the flat and open meadow, countless horses hung their heads and ate the grass, and their smooth fur was faintly shining with various colors under the sunlight.
At this moment, autumn gradually tilted westward, and it was time for evening meals again. Some herders came over and waved their long poles and whips to drive the horses toward the endless felt tents. When the rafters saw smoke rising from the settlement, they rode their horses back to the camp where their respective tribes were located.
The Turks lived by the water and grass. When camping, they mainly relied on the racist and herdsmen to patrol and guard the patrols. They rarely set up fixed posts. While the minions were sitting together to eat in groups of three or five, several warning sounds suddenly came from afar. Then they heard the sound of horse hooves rolling in like thunder.
Countless people hurriedly got out of the felt tent to find out, and saw a group of black dots approaching their camp. Soon they recognized these people as the horses responsible for reconnaissance outside the camp. On the horizon behind them, a large number of black people appeared, galloping, shocking the earth, causing the lush weeds to shake.
"Swoosh swish swish!"
Countless bowstrings sounded, and Turkic scouts were hit by arrows and fell off their horses. In an instant, they were all trampled into powder by tens of thousands of horse hooves.
When people with a little combat experience saw this scene, they realized that the raid by Tang Jun was by no means comparable to Li Yi's previous harassment.
"The Tang army is here, ready to fight!"
"Move quickly!"
"Get on the horse quickly!"
Many Turkic soldiers didn't care about wearing clothes and carrying weapons, so they rushed to step onto the war horses. With the consciousness formed by their long-term nomadic battles, they consciously formed a series of front-line battle formations and rushed towards the rapidly surging iron cavalry of the Tang army.
The two men and horses quickly collided with each other, and the killing was splattering blood, extremely tragic.
The vanguard of the Tang army was still the fierce general Xue Wanche. He heard him yell "Kill" and faced a Turkic horse that came to intercept. He swung his spear and stabbed left and right. Wherever he went, people were on their backs and horses, and those who blocked were invincible. The soldiers under his command tacitly arranged into a cone formation, urging the horses to follow behind Xue Wanche. In just a moment, they easily drilled through the cavalry formation formed by the Turkic people in a hurry.
"Have fun! Hahahaha..."
Surrounded by a group of warriors from Changlin Army, Xue Wanche smiled wildly and raised his long spear, and continued to rush towards the Turkic camp with constant speed.
The old, weak, sick and disabled guarding the camp were not powerless to fight back. Seeing that the Tang army's cavalry was about to rush into the camp, they all picked up bows and arrows to shoot Xue Wanche and others.
The arrows came like locusts. Xue Wanche was not afraid at all. A long spear in his hand seemed to turn into a windmill, and almost couldn't pour water into it. Soon he led his troops into the camp. He shouted, wailed, and screamed suddenly echoed in the sky...
Li Yao stood on Gaogang and looked at the tragic battle that was almost one-sided.
Song Junming, who was riding beside her, suddenly said, "Although General Xue is brave enough to be inappropriate, he has already entered the enemy camp too deeply. I am afraid that Jie Li will react and he will find it difficult to escape..."
Li Yao waved his hand and said, "I have a clear idea in my heart, wait a moment."
In fact, it was because Xue Wanche followed the orders given by Li Yao that he forced himself to break into the Turkic camp and started a massacre. The purpose was to anger the Turkic people and lead them to chase them.
The number of cavalry under Li Yao's command was limited. At this time, the total number of people fighting was only about 10,000. Seeing that more and more Turkic people were joining the counterattack, a large part of them were rushing towards the elite cavalry led by Xue Wanche. Li Yao's eyes moved and he hurriedly ordered Song Junming: "Tell me the order and notify Xue Wanche to withdraw quickly!"
Although Xue Wanche was so angry that he wanted to capture the king with one blow to Jie Li Khan, but the military orders were like a mountain, so he had to turn his horse's head quickly and stop engaging in any entanglement with the enemy. He led a group of elite Tang army soldiers to kill out of the enemy camp according to the original path.
Jie Li Khan urgently ordered Lunte to lead 30,000 cavalry to chase Xue Wanche. After a while, the two men rushed to a canyon several miles away from the Turkic camp.
After entering the valley, Lentqin suddenly found someone shaking in the woods on the low mountains on both sides, and couldn't help but shout: "No, there is an ambush!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a shrill sound of trumpets suddenly sounded on the low hillsides on both sides, and countless stones and arrows poured onto the Turkic cavalry like a covered in the sky.
Lentqin was covered with armor, and his mount was covered with armor. The man and horse were shot with dozens of arrows, but he was still unscathed. But before he could sigh at the excellent protective power of the armor on his body, he suddenly felt that he was covered by a huge shadow. A huge rock weighing a thousand pounds suddenly fell from the sky, instantly smashing him and his men and horses to the ground, turning into a pool of meat paste.
Li Yao patted the dust on his head and body, closed his hand and raised his eyes, and saw Song Junming standing nearby, with an arrow on his hand, as if he was stationary, and was tilting his head to look at her in a daze.
Song Junming had heard earlier that the princess of the country had the courage to protect the country, and took the head of the general among millions of troops, just like taking objects from a bag. She felt that she should be the kind of female hero who was unparalleled in riding and shooting, and her spear made her spear so amazing...
However, he never expected that Li Yao's pair of slender arms and tender white and slender fingers would contain such terrifying power.
Li Yao did not allow him to continue to stare blankly and called out in a deep voice: "Person Song, what do you think of this princess?"
Song Junming was shocked, his fingers unconsciously released the bowstring, and flew out with the sharp arrow, then he exclaimed: "The master's divine power is unparalleled, which really makes his subordinates' eyes wide open!"
The battlefield changed rapidly, and Li Yao seemed to have not heard his praise at all. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the crowds of people in the valley with concentration.
Since the chief general died in the first battle, the Turkic people who were ambushed had no heads for a while and soon fell into a situation of fighting on their own. Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Yao immediately ordered his left and right to say: "I ordered General Feng Li, Tianjie, and General Ma Sanbao, the cavalry officer, to lead his [] cavalry to fight and cut off the enemy's retreat."
The drum horns roared, cutting through the sky.
Ten thousand cavalry suddenly rode out from the hillsides on both sides of the canyon, with a thunderous momentum!
The entrance to this nameless canyon is very wide, and it is actually not a good ambush point for annihilation of enemies. The hills on both sides are gentle and there are no cliffs, and war horses can ride upwards. Therefore, after a while of confusion, some Turks spontaneously greeted the Tang cavalry with their hunting habits they developed since childhood.
The two sides converged, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
In contrast, the Tang army, which was sweeping down with the help of the geographical advantage, had an absolute advantage. These extremely brave Turkic cavalry were almost certain to die, obviously using their sacrifices to fight for more people to escape.
Li Yao was moved when he saw the tenacious performance of the Turks. He sighed speechlessly, but his expression turned extremely solemn again, and he ordered: "I am the commander and ordered Xue Wanche to lead his troops back to fight and attack the enemy with all his strength!"
