Chapter 79 Su Dingfang's First Battle
"Khan, you can finally rest!" A young child of the Asina family recalled the battlefield with tickles from time to time, and felt a chill. Fortunately, they could finally leave that hell land.
"Rest? Is it time to rest now?" Tong Ye Hu said angrily: "As long as we dare to relax a little, the tens of thousands of soldiers under Chen Ying's command will be pressed up like an avalanche and tsunami, and they will not dip soy sauce. They can swallow us alive in one bite. Do you believe it?"
The son of the Ashin family flattened his mouth and looked like he was about to cry: "Khan, what do you think you should do?"
"Our baggage was discarded, and the horse was about to run away and was abandoned. We couldn't go back to thousands of mountains like this, and I'm afraid we couldn't even go back to Beiting!" Tongye Hu Khan pointed to Tuogakiko who had ten thousand springs in front and said, "When we came, I remember that there was a caravan with Lite in front. It seemed that they had not left yet. This caravan was a big fat sheep. We snatched them and relying on their supplies, it should be no problem to run back to Beiting!"
Here Tong Ye Hu was preparing to grab the "merchant" supplies and use them to return to Beiting. However, Su Dingfang also used these supplies as bait, preparing to capture Tong Ye Hu and the others in one place.
The vice-captain looked at the more than 500 beggar-like army and said in confusion: "Would you make a mistake? They don't look like Western Turkic Khans no matter how they look!"
"You come and be the leader, and act according to my eyes!" Su Dingfang pointed to Wen Suwu, a gentle Western Region merchant who was like a rabbit, and said, "If you dare to show off your strength, you will have one, and you will all be left here!"
Wen Suwu did not have the surname Wen and his name was Suwu, but his surname was Wen Su, and his name was Wu. Wen Su, which means a land of water in Turkic terms. In fact, they are one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions.
Wen Suwu nodded repeatedly.
Su Dingfang pretended to be a follower, holding a horizontal knife, and following Wen Suwu. As long as Wen Suwu dared to move, Su Dingfang promised to chop him as soon as possible.
Even though Tongye Hu Khan was in a down-and-out manner, he still asked very domineeringly: "I am the Great Turkic Gumotler, what else does your caravan have?"
Wen Suwu lowered his head and bowed, "Report to the noble man, there are 300 bags of spices, 500 agate, and some medicinal materials in the caravan. I wonder what the noble man needs?"
"Don't you have a horse?" Tongye Hu asked.
When Wen Suwu heard this, he felt something was wrong. He asked carefully: "Has the battle been won before?"
Tongye Hu was slightly stunned. How could they seem to have won a battle like they were in this way? But he still followed Wen Suwu's words: "It's good to win, but it's not going well. Liangzhou City is too difficult to chew, and many people have been injured. However, the warriors of our Great Turks are not comparable to those of the cowardly Tang people. Liangzhou has been taken down, and Guanzhong is soon!"
Originally, Wen Suwu was very unhappy to be treated as a slave by Su Dingfang and robbed all their property. He relied on Su Dingfang not understanding Turkic language, and while speaking to Tongye Hu, he made gestures. This was the common sign language of all ethnic groups and tribes in the Western Regions, indicating that there was an enemy.
When Tongye Hu saw this scene, he understood it in his heart. He quietly gave sign language to the warriors beside him to prepare for battle. Although Su Dingfang did not understand Turkic language, he was not a fool. Looking at the Turkic people who were originally scattered and quietly pulled up the bow and arrow, he was stupid if he couldn't understand it anymore.
Su Dingfang quickly used his sword, drew out the horizontal knife and slashed at Wen Suwu's head.
Wen Suwu saw a cold light flying over and it was too late to avoid it. Su Dingfang's sword was as fast as lightning. In a blink of an eye, the sound of the blade cutting the flesh sounded.
"Puff..."
Wen Suwu's big head rolled to the ground like a ball, his eyes wide open, and he didn't understand why Su Dingfang suddenly took action.
"Tangren!"
"Turkish people"!
The sound of the bow and arrow breaking through the air suddenly became loud, and the sound of the knife and arrow slashing suddenly rang out. Blood rain flew across the sky, and screaming sounded in a panic.
The Turks gritted their teeth and launched a charge, but a piece of them fell under the rain of arrows from the Tang army. After a moment of pause, Su Dingfang's troops on the opposite side also began to fight back.
But as soon as Su Dingfang's troops started, the Turks on the opposite side suddenly screamed: "It's them, their devil cavalry!"
They stepped on the war horses in an orderly manner and rode the horses in an orderly manner. Each cavalry and another cavalry seemed to be measured by a ruler, and the war horses also raised their legs and fell their hooves at the same time.
Dozens of Turkic cavalry who were scared by the cavalry and scythe cavalry, turned around and ran away when they saw this scene. Tongye Hu Khan roared angrily: "You see clearly that they don't have that weird gun, they are not the devil cavalry of the Tang people!"
When the Turks saw this, they were indeed the case.
Gradually they regained some courage.
However, it's just recovery.
The son of the Ashina family said, "Khan, this Tang army is full of strange things. If you rely on your humble opinion, you should be cautious!"
Tongye Hu Khan snorted coldly: "Be careful? The Tang army has no intention of being cautious. They are all ready to rush over! They all come to me and shoot the Tang army's formation at me!"
Su Dingfang pulled out his sabre, rode his horse down, and came to the Turkic cavalry formation with his sabre high, roaring loudly: "Warriors of the Tang Dynasty, straighten your backs and hold your weapons tightly! Since following our General Chen, we have defeated five times, ten times, and even twenty times our enemies, Eastern Turks, Western Turks... The elite of the Turkic army was ruthlessly crushed by our iron hooves. Shibi, Chuluo, Jie Li, Tongye Hu... Countless famous Turkic generals and generals have become our subordinates. We have defeated countless powerful opponents. We are invincible and will defeat all the attacks, and today will be no exception!"
The soldiers of the Yue cavalry shouted loudly: "The Tang Dynasty has won thousands of victories! General Chen is mighty!"
"The warriors of the Tang Dynasty, ride your horses, pull your strong bows, wave your sabers, defeat them, crush them, let their bodies cover the battlefield, let them know who is the king on the battlefield! Cavalry attack!" Su Dingfang took the lead and rushed towards Tongye Hu Khan.
The soldiers of the Yue cavalry also roared together: "Wansheng! Wansheng!"
As soon as he kicked the horse's belly, the war horse rushed out like a wind and rushed towards the Turkic army formation. Every ten steps, he shouted "Wansheng". The wild beast-like howling almost shook the clouds in the sky. More than 300 cavalrymen and thousands of horse hooves were raised and fell at the same time. The rumbling vibration on the ground was like an earthquake that made people untenable!
The cavalry trained by Chen Ying in later generations is worthy of being the most powerful army of the Tang Dynasty. Three hundred light cavalry came from the wilderness, and the momentum was like an avalanche. The Turks couldn't help but change their horror, and the excited expression on their faces frozen in a blink of an eye!
Tongye Hu Khan's expression became solemn, and he murmured: "It's like thunder, so sharp... So strong, really so strong!"
He really regretted that he shouldn't have provoked such a powerful enemy as the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, it's too late now.
Su Dingfang seemed to be like an assassin, and he kept trying his best. His sabers flew towards Tongye Hu Khan with a tremendous force. Two Turkic cavalry stepped forward, one left and one right to attack Su Dingfang, trying to stop him from advancing.
However, Su Dingfang's wrist shook. He did not exert any force at all. The man used the horse's power and the horse's power. As two cold lights flashed, the two Turkic cavalrymen standing in front of Su Ding only felt a flash in front of him, and they were as deflated as a balloon, and their strength was quickly drained.
The three hundred Yue cavalry cavalry suddenly divided into two routes, like a pair of huge cow horns, slammed into the Turkic army formation with thunder. The Yue cavalry cavalry on the horse straightened their waists and raised the cavalry bow in their hands. Their cavalry range was generally 120 meters to 150 meters. If heavy arrows were used, those who were within 50 meters would die immediately.
The Yue cavalry and the others would not crash into the Turkic military formation like the hook and sickle cavalry. This kind of fighting style is astonishing casualties.
In fact, this kind of fighting style is the correct way for Turkic cavalry. The few-popular nomadic peoples and fishing and hunting people cannot afford such battles that kill 10,000 enemies and lose 7,000. Since ancient times, they have always used light cavalry to shoot arrows in the huge infantry formation with light cavalry line, and used rounds of arrow rain to kill opponents, bleed the opponent, creating panic and chaos. When the opponent was disrupted by this endless attack, the heavy cavalry suddenly came out and rushed out with lightning speed.
The opponent defeated in one fell swoop, and then it was nothing more than a massacre. This kind of fighting style has achieved great results and small casualties. It has always been the specialty of the northern wolf clan. Note that since the Warring States Period, the northern nomadic peoples have fought in this way. For more than two thousand years, they have been changing the soup and not changing the medicine. Relying on their mobility advantages, they have defeated the Central Plains dynasty, which is mainly infantry. Many people have blew the "Manguda" tactics to heaven, and they are arrogant and think that this is original by the Mongols, which really makes people laugh.
Only Su Dingfang led a dozen cavalry to break through the middle, and more than a dozen cavalrymen protected Su Dingfang's left and right wings, while Su Dingfang recognized the only target that Tongye Hu Khan was the one whom.
The Turkic cavalry would naturally shoot arrows and fight back. The Vietnamese cavalry kept hitting the ground, but they gritted their teeth and said nothing. The people next to them ignored the ones who fell down, aimed and fired without shyness. Due to the closer distance, the killing efficiency of powerful crossbows and bows doubled. When the arrow rain swept over, the Turkic light cavalry fell down layer by layer like dominoes, and their bodies lie across the ground, and in a blink of an eye it was stepped into meat mud.
It is worth being happy that Ye Hu, regardless of whether he looked at the unstoppable Su Dingfang, took the initiative to retreat. He left his back to Su Dingfang, and the opportunity came!
Su Dingfang quickly pulled up his iron-tied bow and drew out three arrows in a row, three arrows in a row. Even Turkic warriors could use this move on the horse's back.
"Swish swish swish swish..."
Three arrows shot out, and with sharp arrows, they flew towards Tongye Hu Khan's back without any drag.
"Puchi, puchi..."
Without exception, all three arrows hit Tongye Hu Khan. Tongye Hu Khan felt as if he was hit by a rhino, and his body involuntarily flew forward.
"Bang!" Tongye Hu fell to the ground. Before he could get up, he opened his mouth with difficulty, and a large amount of blood flowed out of his mouth.
Su Dingfang jumped down, pulled out his sword, and walked quickly to Tongye Hu. He saw him spitting blood and staring at him with no sympathy at all, full of resentment and stubbornness. Su Dingfang pulled off his helmet without hesitation, grabbed his hair and pulled him up, and then stepped on his inner knee to force him to kneel down, saying sternly: "According to the order of the General of the Zhenjun Army, you are infringing on my Tang Dynasty, and you are now sentenced to death!"
After saying that, he held the knife in both hands and slashed it. The light of the knife flashed by, and Tongye Hu Khan's head flew up like a balloon, and a cavity of dirty blood spurted six or seven feet high.
Tongyehu Khan claimed to have hundreds of thousands of people who controlled the strings, and his martial arts were more powerful than Khans of all dynasties. In order to consolidate the hegemony of the Turks in Central Asia, Tongyehu included the kings of the Western Regions into the military administrative system, and granted the official title of "Jielichi" and sent a Tutun to monitor and supervise taxes. In addition, the political focus of the Khanate was moved westward, and the Qianquan (near Tokmak) of Shiguo was directly controlled by the strategic location of the Suiyechuan and the Rekaido on the Silk Road. During the reign of Tongyehu Khan, the Western Turkic Khanate was in the most prosperous and developed stage.
However, it all became history.
In September of the third year of Wude, the Western Turkic commander Ye Hu Khan was ambushed by the Yueqi captain Su Dingfang in 10,000 yuan. More than 560 people in his troops were all annihilated.
