When the Turkic cavalry saw that the armor was blocking their way, they decisively bent their bows and set arrows. A missed arrow came towards them like a sudden storm.
"Royal!"
Without Li Shimin's order, Yu Wenbao led his men and blocked the front with giant shields.
The jingling, clattering, clattering sound of arrows was like rain hitting banana trees.
"The Khan has an order, and whoever kills the King of Qi in the Tang Dynasty will be given a thousand tents!"
After the leader of the Turks, Meilu, saw that his arrow was blocked by a giant shield, and there were thousands of armors blocking the way in front of him, he began to encourage people with generous gifts.
In fact, without his encouragement, the Turkic cavalry had already started howling after seeing the uniform flag, and their morale had reached a peak.
There is no need for him to explain, the Turkic cavalry also know what kind of rewards they will receive after killing the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty.
So they were shouting and yelling, with veins pulsing on their foreheads, and they were marching forward bravely, forward, and forward again.
After the armor in front of them collided with them, they immediately started the most brutal fighting.
They were trying their best to break through the iron wall made by the armored men, and the armored men were also trying their best to prevent them from crossing the iron wall.
The sound of the collision of horseshoes and iron armor, the collision of scimitars and spears, was like the crackling of rain hitting banana trees, rapid and fierce.
"put!"
After the Turkic cavalry broke through the first line of defense of the armored men, Li Shimin gave the order coldly, and the small flag in his hand was quickly drawn down with his voice.
The crossbowmen who had already loaded their crossbows all knocked down the machine gun at this moment.
The crossbow, which was as thick as a baby's arm, flew into the Turkic cavalry with a whistling sound in the wind.
The Turkic cavalry fell to pieces at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The armored men who were fighting them saw the opportunity, formed a spear formation with their spears, and stabbed them out fiercely.
Seven, eight, or even ten spears were fired at a Turkic cavalryman at the same time. Even though the Turkic cavalryman was capable of reaching the sky, he was stabbed off his horse.
Then he was pricked with countless spears and had holes all over his body.
"Put it back!"
Li Shimin ordered again.
Another round of crossbows flew out, and the front line of the Turkic cavalry was completely destroyed by the rapid thrusts of the crossbows and armored men.
Not only were the squadrons and rear squadrons not intimidated by this kind of battle, but they charged harder and fought more bravely.
The most important thing is that the person leading the Turkic cavalry squadron is actually a Han.
His visor was peeled off at some point, revealing a face that had experienced many vicissitudes of life.
Li Shimin frowned subconsciously when he saw it.
Seeing this, Li Yuanji asked: "What, do we know each other?"
Li Shimin had a gloomy face and said in a deep voice: "Yang Xiaoyi, the son of Yang Wenju."
Li Yuanji thought for a while and found that this person was not in his mind and that he was very unfamiliar with Yang Wenju. He couldn't help but look at Li Shimin with questioning eyes.
Li Shimin explained in a deep voice: "I am from the same generation as Yang Su, and was born later than Yang Su. Yang Xuangan, Yang Su's son, disappeared after the failure of the Luoyang uprising. Unexpectedly, he got together with Yang Zhengdao and began to work for the Turks.
.”
When Li Yuanji heard this, he suddenly realized who Yang Su was. He was the former Shangshu Ling, Grand Master, and Situ of the Sui Dynasty. He was also the existence of the red-haired girl in "The Three Heroes of the Fengchen". She was also the villain in many dramas and interpretations.
He was a powerful official in the former Sui Dynasty.
His son Yang Xuangan, also known as Yang Jishan, rebelled at the instigation of Li Mi in the ninth year of Sui Dynasty. He was suppressed by Yuwen Shu, and his clan members were also implicated.
Logically speaking, Yang Xiaoyi's branch of the Yang family, which Yang Guang ordered Yu Wenshu to kill, should have a grudge against Yang Zhengdao, but now it actually helped Yang Zhengdao.
Even he did not hesitate to bear the reputation of a traitor and began to work for the Turks. I don't know if some twists and turns and bizarre things happened in the process, which made Yang Xiaoyi choose to put aside his hatred and choose to help Yang Zhengdao.
However, no matter what happened between Yang Xiaoyi and Yang Zhengdao, since Yang Xiaoyi dared to be a traitor, she should die.
Traitors should be punished by everyone.
"Get a heavy spear!"
Li Yuanji stretched out his hand and asked the bodyguard guarding Ce to get a heavier spear.
Li Shimin just glanced sideways and didn't say anything.
Not long after, the guard handed a special spear to Li Yuanji's hand. Li Yuanji weighed the weight of the spear and found out whether it was too light or too heavy to take advantage of, but it could barely be used.
When Yang Xiaoyi stepped on the bones of his companions and tore through the two lines of defense of the iron armor, and was quickly approaching the banner with the same character, Li Yuanji raised his spear, took aim, and then threw it with all his strength.
The spear flew out with a sharp roar, and almost in the blink of an eye, it pierced Yang Xiaoyi's chest, piercing Yang Xiaoyi, and the two people behind him were also pierced.
For a moment, the Turkic cavalry squadron led by Yang Xiaoyi panicked. The armored men saw this opportunity and began to strangle them desperately. The Turkic cavalry squadron was strangled to death when they were thirty feet away from the straight banner.
The rear team was far less sharp than the front team and the middle team, but with the front team and the middle team opening the way, they also advanced to a distance of ten feet to the same banner.
From a distance of ten feet, one can clearly see the position of each person under the Qi Zi banner, as well as each person's face.
Unfortunately, even with the last ten feet of distance, they couldn't jump over it no matter how much they jumped. Even if their intestines were stabbed out and they were wrapped around their waists and continued to fight, they still couldn't take another step forward.
The armored men almost seemed to be crazy. They pounced on the Turkic cavalry regardless of damage or any means.
Some people even jumped up with the help of their comrades and dragged the Turkic cavalry on horseback to the ground. The dense armor-piercing hammers would hammer the Turkic cavalry into rag dolls in an instant.
After the armored men sacrificed more than 400 lives, the Turkic armored cavalry were finally exhausted.
After the head of the last Turkic cavalry was chopped off, the captain who led the army knelt on one knee under the banner with blood dripping from his body and reported, "Your Highness, all the Turkic cavalry were strangled to death ten feet away."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although Li Shimin gave an order of three feet, he dared not let the Turkic cavalry go within ten feet no matter what.
After ten feet, the bows, arrows and throwing weapons in the hands of the Turks will be more accurate and more lethal. More importantly, some Turks will use the momentum of the horses to jump up and rush to the crowd.
Under the banner of Zi Da.
Although he could not hurt Li Yuanji and Li Shimin under his banner, it was a crime for him to scare Li Yuanji and Li Shimin.
Historically, because those in power were frightened and countless soldiers who were guarding them were killed, the captain did not dare to gamble at all.
"You still have some sense of control..."
Li Shimin said coldly, as if he was not satisfied with the performance of the armored men in this battle.
Li Yuanji did not have such high standards and requirements as Li Shimin, so he smiled and said to the captain: "You did a good job. Go and wait for help."
The captain hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Here!"
Then he took a group of injured armored men and retreated to the side.
Just when the auxiliary soldiers were about to step forward to clean up the battlefield, a deafening exclamation broke out from the left wing of the battlefield.
Li Yuanji pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a while before he heard clearly. It seemed that Hou Junji had shown his power on the battlefield and beheaded a chief who had a high prestige in the Turks.
Although Li Yuanji didn't understand clearly who the chieftain Hou Jun was beheading was, he still looked at Li Shimin with a smile.
Li Shimin's face was a little dark, and he looked like he didn't want to talk and no one wanted to talk to me.
Seeing this, Li Yuanji stopped teasing Li Shimin.
Hou Junji, who was once not reused under Li Shimin and had always been on the bench, made many achievements and shined in this war against the Turks.
This is absolutely a shame for Li Shimin.
After all, Li Shimin is still very conceited when it comes to judging people. He thinks he has never missed a general's talent. Now that he has missed Hou Junji, he naturally feels unhappy.
"What is the right wing doing? They have been preparing for so long and are so well prepared. Could it be that they can't even take down some Turkish bastards?"
After being silent for a long time, Li Shimin suddenly roared.
Changsun Shunde, who was standing by the side, looked like he had eaten shit and didn't know how to answer.
What does it mean to prepare for so long and to prepare so well that you can't even take down some offal from the Turks?
Is that offal?
They were the elite of the Turks, the essence of the millions of Turks in the Turks. Although their armor was a little rudimentary, their bravery was not inferior to that of the vast majority of soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Hou Junji was able to kill a Turkic chieftain. It should be that the Turkic chieftain was greedy for power. Otherwise, if Houjunji wanted to kill the Turkic chieftain, he would have to kill the Turkic army in the middle.
"Wonderful victory! Wonderful victory!"
Just when Changsun Shunde didn't know how to answer Li Shimin's question, a burst of cheers broke out from the right wing.
Although I don’t know what happened on the right wing, I can tell by watching the people on the right wing change from the initial defense to an offensive formation, and charge fiercely towards the Turks. The right wing should have stood up when they were in close combat with the Turks.
Advantage.
With both the left and right sides losing ground and the prepared surprise troops failing to achieve their effect, the horns of the horns sounded from behind the Turkic formation to gather troops.
Li Shimin's face was as solemn as ever before and he said: "Jieli is going to fight us to the death!"
Li Yuanji also nodded solemnly.
This kind of deadly battle on the battlefield involves large-scale confrontation and large-scale hand-to-hand combat.
This meant that the Turks would lose the advantage that war horses could bring them.
But equally, they can also take advantage of their military strength.
This kind of fight to the death is the most cruel and cold-blooded. The fight is all about attrition, until one party can no longer bear the huge losses and gives in.
"Beat the drums! Gather the troops!"
Li Shimin ordered in a deep voice.
The thick animal skin drum was beaten, and Hou Junji and Li Shentong, who were fighting the Turks, slowly led their troops to retreat while fighting, and finally the two long dragons merged into one.
"Bang the drum! March!"
Li Shimin ordered again.
Hou Junji and Li Shentong led the overwhelming troops to press forward step by step.
On the other hand, the same is true for the Turks.
