Chapter 3: Beacon Fire (Part 3) The Turks did not have the habit of setting up a wall when they camped. This negligence cost them their lives. Ten thousand cavalry rushed in almost without any resistance, killing the sleeping tribal warriors to death.
After the sudden attack on Hengye, many khans and berks blew their horns and ordered the tribal soldiers to move closer to them. This undoubtedly made the situation worse. In the darkness, the awakened warriors did not know whose order they should listen to.
I don’t know how many soldiers and horses the enemy came. They could only cover their robes with one hand and wave their sabers with the other. They rushed and killed the disorderly infantry. How could they stop the cavalry coming in formation? Soon, they paid the price for their panic.
Rows of long horsemen plowed through the crowd, plowing the ground and cutting down all the living things in front of them. Only those with the fastest legs and feet escaped. But before they could beat their chests and rejoice, a new row of cavalry arrived.
Turn the living into skewers and trample the dead into mud
"Woo-wu-wu-wu!" The sound of horns rang out, mixed with the painful groans of the injured and the desperate cries of the endangered. The fires ignited everywhere deepened the horror of this atmosphere. The Shili Company Camp was like hell, everywhere
It is the devil who bares his fangs and is "industrious", while the "kind" shepherds tremble under the devil's claws and are at a loss.
They have no ambition to annex the Central Plains. They just want to make some money with Shibi Khan. The Central Plains people in the Great Wall are so rich. They always have a surplus of food in winter and can eat salt all year round. They are also the people of Changshengtian.
, why the Turks would starve in drought years! They couldn't figure it out, so they simply came to rob them. As for the Central Plains people who were killed during their robbery, it was not because the Turkic herdsmen were cruel by nature. "The Central Plains people refused to hand over their property obediently."
Are you coming out? I have no choice but to speak with a knife! When the wolves on the grassland hunt, they will inevitably become bloodthirsty. Who made the Khan of the Central Plains people cowardly?"
With an entertainment mentality, they looted all the villages in the fortress, killed the old people and children who had no time to escape, kidnapped the women, and set the houses on fire. With the mentality of getting as many votes as they could, they destroyed Guo County.
There were more rich people in the county, and they would gain even more after defeating them. Faced with temptation, they had no time to consider the dangers of doing so. When the strength of the weak suddenly reversed, they began to think of the conflicts that once existed between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks.
friendship
"Mercy -" Several Turkic herdsmen who had no time to escape raised their hands and crawled out of the tent. This was the experience they learned from their predecessors warriors. It is said that the Central Plains people pay attention to repaying evil with kindness. They killed people and set fires. As long as they fell
If they apologize, show a little respect and regret, they will forget the blame. But tonight, this approach does not seem to work well. Seeing the Turks begin to surrender, the Central Plains general who came over just sneered, and then clamped the horse's belly tightly.
"Kill without taking prisoners!" Luo Shixin sneered and stabbed Changshan sharply.
"Kill!" the county soldiers responded loudly, raised their horizontal swords, and quickly ran past the surrenderers. At the moment when the people and horses were intertwined, their wrists were forcefully withdrawn. This was a sharp horizontal sword movement that Asahi had taught countless times during military training.
Like a long whip, the surrendered man's leather robe was torn apart, leaving a two-foot-long cut on the opponent's back. Blood spurted out, and the wounded man screamed, whirled, fell, and continued to charge forward.
The county soldiers stepped over their bodies without hesitation, drowning their screams into the mud and pool of blood.
Luo Shixin and Qin Shubao each had a thousand cavalry behind them. When they rushed into the enemy camp, they divided the army formation into two and formed an oblique triangle attack array. In the middle of the two arrays, the panicked Turks
Like weeds in front of a sickle, they were cut all over the place. They could not stop the joint attack of Luo Shixin and Qin Shubao, so they had to be forced to gather in the middle of the two triangular arrays. But what was terrifying was that the bottom of the two triangular formations was completely
Connected together, after the cavalry in the front row drove the Turks to the center, the soldiers in the back row just lined up and stepped over, trampling the enemy under the hooves of the horses, whether they were resisters or surrenderers.
No one shows mercy to the enemy. If the stunned opponent in front of them is the Wagang Army, the county soldiers may not be willing to take such a heavy blow. But the enemy is not the Wagang Army. These plunderers from the grassland have never taken it seriously.
The people of the Central Plains regarded them as friends, so the county soldiers responded in kind.
They quickly waved their swords and knocked the Turkic herdsmen to the ground one after another. When they killed the first batch of opponents, some of them were still mumbling about how many tricks they could do this time. When Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin led them in,
When they came to the next row of tents, almost all the county soldiers had forgotten their fame. They roared loudly, used their long spears to open the cowhide tents, they shouted fiercely, and splashed out a lot of blood with their horizontal knives.
Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji led the Flying Tiger Army under their command to launch an attack from the other side. There were many Zhuhus on the fortress, so they had to attack more to defeat them. Before launching the charge, Xu Zi could give some advice.
Li Shimin, his goal along the way was to prevent the enemy from looking at each other, rather than to fight head-on with the opponent. But Li Shimin soon forgot Xu Zi's instructions. He was so eager to prove his strength in front of the latter that he ignored those around him.
danger
He rushed to the front of the team, with Murong Luo on the left, warrior Yu on the right, and Hou Junji on the right. Li Anyuan's team was like a hammer, slamming into the Turks' tent and knocking out those
The samurai who had just woken up from his sleep rushed out of the tent and chopped them into pieces in the open space.
"Brother Zhongjian will definitely be shocked!" Li Shimin thrust his long spear into the air, picked up a foreign man who stumbled in front of his horse, and threw him towards the burning tent not far away. "He wouldn't have thought that I made the flying tiger with my own hands.
Army!" His long spear pierced out a ball of bright silver flowers under the firelight, and there was no general in his path.
In Yun Dingxing's camp, he deliberately hid the strength of the Li family and mixed the Feihu army beaten on the battlefield with the newly recruited Minzhuang troops, giving people the feeling that the Li family's team was unable to fight.
After deciding on a surprise attack strategy with Xuzi and others, he selected the Flying Tiger Army again and took it with him personally
Li Shimin wanted to show his grown-up self in front of Xuzi. A few years ago, in his eyes, Xuzi was both wise and brave, unmatched in the world. But now, he hopes that he can be on par with him, or even take a step forward and walk in the world.
In front of the opponent, this is a wish that has been hidden in his heart for many years. Once he finds an opportunity to compete on the same field, he will never let it go.
The fire in the company camp was getting bigger and bigger, almost turning the night into day. Li Shimin heard the flames "Puff, Puff, Puff" around him, and listened to the Turks, Khitans and many unnamed warriors on his horse.
Crying in front of him, he heard the sound of the horn like the roar of a dragon, and heard the sound of horse hooves singing in the firelight accompanied by the sound of the horn. He led the team and ran rampant in the enemy's formation, repeatedly combing the area closest to him until no more living people could be seen standing under his feet.
, he turned his horse's head and led the Flying Tiger Army to push sideways to another company camp.
The company camp was relatively well preserved. Through the firelight, Li Shimian could see a group of barbarians quickly forming a team. He didn't want to give the opponent a chance to climb on the horse, so he speeded up and bumped into each other. Then, all the noise in his ears completely disappeared.
, he could only hear his own breathing and heartbeat. A long knife came towards him and hit his helmet. Li Shimin quickly stretched his arm forward and stabbed the enemy into the four-foot long blade before the opponent's blade could hit him.
Pierced through the heavy armor, pierced the ribs, and flew out from the horseback with the enemy's corpse. The long knife landed on the ground halfway. Li Shimin swept his arm vigorously and hit the crowd heavily, sweeping away the panicked warriors.
At this moment, he seemed to hear Xuzi cheering for him, so he became more energetic. He used the enemy's shoulders to remove the body from the front, and then rushed towards another opponent who was relatively gorgeously dressed. That person was a little Burke.
, was frightened by Li Shimin's desperate fighting style and retreated repeatedly. After avoiding the fatal stab, he cursed and began to fight back, holding the scimitar in his hand against the spear pole, as fast as a frightened poisonous snake.
The sword tilted up, using the thick stem to deflect the attack, and the scimitar cut into the stem, more than half an inch deep.
"Ah - ah -" Little Burke let out a wolf-like howl, and struggled to draw his sword. The distance between the two of them was so close that as long as he pulled out the scimitar from the pole, he could easily cut off the opponent's sword.
But Li Shimin didn't give him any chance. He twisted his arms hard, and Hao Feng and Hao Suan suddenly turned around. Little Burke's strength was at a disadvantage. He felt a heat in his palm, and the entire scimitar fell out of his hand. Waiting for him to recover from the shock.
, a huge stick hit him in the face
"Poof!" Thousands of peach blossoms bloomed on Little Burke's face, and the war horse fell on its back. Li Shimin used both arms to break the stick with the scimitar embedded in it. Then he held it in one hand and cut off the stick in half, and picked it up with the other hand and it was falling.
With his scimitar, he broke into another group of people. The Turkic warriors were stunned and did not dare to fight. They fled into the darkness. Li Shimin chased them from behind and swept off their heads with his scimitar.
The warriors Xun and Murong Luo followed closely, using their long spears to fend off the weapons thrust by the Turkic warriors for Li Shimin. Both of them were injured, but they gritted their teeth and refused to leave Li Shimin for even half a step. This was a willing following.
Following such a brave boss, they will never hesitate even if they die on the battlefield the next moment.
"He is more decisive than Zhong Jian in doing things, and he is more scheming than Zhong Jian. He is brave and resourceful, and he knows how to take advantage of various convenient conditions!" In the eyes of the warrior, Li Shimin, who was shouting and fighting fiercely, was almost perfect. Suddenly, he raised his head and saw
Xuzi led another cavalry group and rushed past him like a tide.
