At Yangguan Pass, the soldiers looked excitedly at the charging enemies and shouted. The crowd was excited, but no one was afraid or flinched. Instead, their eyes were wild and their morale was high.
The battle just now gave me confidence!
Seeing that the troops were ready, Qin Huaidao waited a moment and stared closely at the advancing Turks, silently calculating the distance in his mind. Seeing the enemy rushing to a position of 200 meters, Qin Huaidao shouted: "Send the order, prepare for ejection!"
The order quickly spread throughout Yangguan through flags, and the soldiers raised their bows and arrows, aiming at the sky.
Previously, it was a close attack, but at this moment it was about to be thrown. It was obvious that it was preparing to attack from a long distance. Everyone did not know why, but it did not affect the obedience to the orders, especially the orders of the King of Han, who everyone thought was invincible.
Pei Xingjian stared at the advancing Turkic enemy troops, and suddenly realized in his heart that the attack required depends on the individual. If there are few enemies, it doesn't matter if you attack them close. It can also prevent the strong combat power from scaring the enemies away, but it is different when the number of enemies is large.
, it is necessary to take action in advance, gradually bleed, and weaken the opponent.
"Boohoo!"
One after another, feathered arrows soared into the sky, flying straight into the sky.
After the kinetic energy disappeared, the arrow suddenly paused in the air and fell down. It was too high. Under the action of the arrow's own weight and the gravity of the earth, the falling speed accelerated, almost vertically.
"Puff puff!"
A large number of feather arrows fell on the ground like a rainstorm, and a few of them hit the Turks. However, the wounds were not small, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. Some of those who hit the fatal parts even fell to the ground.
Qin Huaidao saw that the killing power was very weak, but he didn't care and continued to order the team to shoot. Anyway, there was no shortage of feathered arrows. A few more rounds would add up to more.
After three more rounds of projectiles, the enemy rushed to a position of 100 meters. A large number of archers stopped and launched projects at Yangguan in an attempt to suppress them.
The thrown arrows fell from the sky and fell vertically, and the trench could not provide shelter.
Qin Huaidao quickly ordered: "Send the order, two people form a team, one person holds a shield for protection, and the other person is free to shoot the enemy archers in the rear. Quick!"
The order swept through the entire Yangguan like a violent wind. The soldiers quickly made adjustments. One person picked up a huge shield and raised it high to block the top of his head. The other continued to draw his bow and arrow. There was no worry, and he shot very steadily.
As a result, Yangguan's counterattack with bows and arrows is reduced by half, but this half can be continuously output without any scruples, and its power cannot be underestimated, and it is specially selected to kill the archers from behind.
Archer shooting is cruel, but it is different with a huge shield.
After a while, there were many fewer archers on the Turkic side, but the Yangguan soldiers were unscathed.
Seeing that they were not targeted by the archers, the Turks who were rushing forward took the opportunity to roar forward and quickly closed the distance. Their eyes were cold and ferocious like wolves.
In front of the Turkic camp.
A group of generals were watching the battle. When they saw this scene, they all breathed a sigh of relief and smiled in anticipation of victory. One of them said flatteringly: "Congratulations to the eldest prince, the warriors will rush up the mountain soon. General Wuchi's tactics are indeed effective."
"That's right, he is worthy of being General Wuchi. The enemy has few troops and is suppressed by archers. As expected, they can't take action. As long as the brothers take the opportunity to rush up the mountain, Yangguan can be easily obtained. I would like to congratulate the eldest prince in advance for taking Yangguang and capturing the King of Han of Tang Dynasty alive.
One battle will bring knowledge to the whole world."
"Congratulations to the great prince." All the generals praised him one after another, not to be outdone.
Wu Chi, however, frowned and remained silent, staring straight ahead, feeling uneasy in his heart.
Seeing that the archers were still shooting at each other, the losses on their side were not small, but within the tolerable range, they finally covered the front troops and rushed down the mountain. As long as they contacted the enemy and the first line of defense was in chaos, the army could fully press forward.
If the battle is decided, why are you uneasy?
When he was confused, he suddenly saw square objects falling from the mountain. His pupils shrank suddenly and he yelled: "No -"
The generals who were complimenting him were startled when they heard the roar and turned their heads to look.
"Boom boom boom!"
At Yangguan, at the foot of the mountain, masses of fire shot up into the sky, engulfing the people around them.
The powerful shock wave even knocked away nearby people directly, like paper kites swept away by strong winds.
The foot of the mountain instantly turned into a sea of fire.
Everyone watched this scene intently and was stunned, especially the generals who came from behind to support. Seeing it for the first time, they didn’t know what it was and couldn’t react for a while.
"It's over!"
Wu Chi lamented in his heart. He had calculated everything, but he still missed one point - no matter how the army separated and ran away, once they rushed down the mountain, they would definitely gather together and become a living target.
"Quick, Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
Wu Chi shouted anxiously that if he lost another 10,000 soldiers and horses, he would not be able to explain to everyone.
However, another black object fell from the top of the mountain, and exploded when it hit the ground. A large area was cleared in an instant, and no one could survive.
The screams and wails could be heard from a distance.
What's even more frightening is that everyone clearly saw that people near the explosion point were blown into pieces. Those who were blown away further away could not get up again, and they were obviously dead.
"What kind of weapon is this?" King Khotan suddenly shouted, staring at Wu Chi with red eyes.
Although he was only responsible for attacking in three positions, six thousand people were killed in two rounds of attacks, and nearly a thousand archers were shot and killed. How long did it take? If the attack continues like this, all the thirty thousand people he brought will be lost in one day without using it.
I told you under Yangguan, no, you can't fight like this.
Thinking of the consequences of losing his 30,000-strong army, Khotan suddenly got excited and shouted: "General Wuchi, you are asking your brothers to die in batches. What are your intentions?"
The shaman also took the opportunity to say: "Yes, I have said that the best way is to concentrate our troops to break through in one go. Splitting our troops to attack will only weaken our army's combat effectiveness and make it easier for the enemy to shoot. See for yourself, if ten thousand people rush forward, nothing will happen."
Now, the second round of attacks will increase our troops, and any archer cover will be of no use, and we will still die in vain."
With the shaman jumping out to question him, many people who wanted to replace Wu Chi took the opportunity to add insult to injury and criticized him one after another.
Wu Chi was speechless and looked at the eldest prince with a bitter face.
It was not easy for the eldest prince to offend everyone, especially the King of Khotan, because of Wuchi, but he had to protect his own people, otherwise who would really join him in the future? He quickly made peace and said, "Everyone, we are facing a powerful enemy. Please stop arguing for now. Quickly call for gold."
Retreat the troops, discuss countermeasures, and seek revenge."
The order was quickly passed down, and gongs sounded in the camp.
The archers in front who were responsible for suppressing the attack quickly retreated when they heard the sound. Of the 10,000 people who ran up to attack, only two or three hundred people were left on each side. They ran away when they heard the sound.
Yangguan, in the trench.
Qin Huaidao couldn't let the duck with its mouth fly away, and quickly ordered: "Send the order, one group, four groups, rush down the mountain to pursue them, and don't let any one go."
The fourth regiment was the general reserve team. They had just received the order and rushed up from the communication ditch with explosive bags to help. They exploded to relieve the crisis. When they heard the new order, they clambered up the ditch and rushed down the mountain with their repeating crossbows.
The first regiment defended the first line of defense, but they did not want their credit to be taken advantage of by the fourth regiment. They rushed down the mountain like wolves and tigers, chasing the enemy from behind and beating them fiercely.
For a moment, crossbow arrows rained down like rain, and murderous intent surged into the sky!
Qin Huaidao stood up and looked at this scene, not daring to relax. He looked past the pursuing men and landed on the Turkic camp in the distance. He soon discovered that the enemy camp was in commotion. A huge cavalry rushed out of the military formation and roared over.
They are five miles apart and it takes some time to walk, but the horses are fast.
Qin Huaidao secretly sighed, it was a pity. If he had been even five minutes late, he could have killed all the fleeing enemies. His reaction was too fast. Once he was entangled, the consequences would be very serious. He quickly shouted: "Send the order, withdraw the troops!"
"Follow the order!"
Luo Wu shouted loudly, with a regretful expression on his face, and quickly waved the battle flag.
In the pursuit team, there were people who kept an eye on the order flag and quickly informed the commander when they saw the order.
After receiving the order, the pursuing troops were very unwilling to accept the order. They were almost wiped out. It was a pity, but they did not hesitate at all. They turned around and ran away. They quickly returned to the foot of the mountain and found that the Turkic cavalry were no more than a hundred meters away.
Shoot, I will definitely catch up.
Feeling lucky, I quickly climbed up the mountain and re-entered the trench. I saw that the Turkic cavalry did not take the opportunity to pursue them, but instead returned to the deserters who had little cover. I felt refreshed and cheered loudly, waving their weapons.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
The cheers grew louder and louder, resounding throughout the world.
Seeing that the morale was ready, Qin Huaidao felt reassured, but the regiment had suffered a huge physical exertion in the battle and needed to rest. He decisively ordered: "Send the order, the regiment will retreat to the top of the mountain to rest and treat the wounded, and the fourth regiment will take over the defense area of the first regiment."
"Young Master, brothers, we can still fight." The first regiment leader became anxious upon hearing this and shouted unwillingly.
"Execute the order!" Qin Huaidao's tone was firm and unquestionable.
"yes!"
The regimental commander looked unwilling and led his men to quickly retreat up the mountain along the communication ditch.
"Haha, it's our turn, the fourth regiment, enter the position."
The fourth regiment leader shouted excitedly, gearing up and looking wildly.
