In front of the city of Julan, the cavalry rushed to the center of Shihemo's army and changed the direction of the breakthrough.
Quechu Teqin's flag was waved, and the soldiers fighting with the switching battalion quickly retreated to both sides. There was a gap of more than thirty steps in front of the circular formation. Zhao Chonghuan frowned with his long spear in hand, and his pupils began to shrink inward. The soldiers
They held their shields nervously, and in front of them was a line of docile yaks.
Que Chui shouted loudly from behind the yak formation: "There are less than 2,000 people, and they want to take Shi Xin away from our 20,000-strong army! If you bully me into riding suddenly, you will not be able to do anything!"
"Running Bull Formation! Come on!"
The Tuqishi people soaked the yak's tails in pine oil. Behind each yak was a soldier holding a torch. With the special order, the soldiers lit the ox's tails. The burning yaks were frightened and moved towards them almost head-to-head.
The direction is coming.
The enemy's light cavalry is far behind the yak. No matter whether the Tang army is actively dispersed or passively dispersed, once the formation is disrupted and separated, the cavalry can easily defeat them one by one. This strategy is the magic weapon for winning by attacking cavalry.
In the past, when the Khan of Sulu entered the Tocharian territory and fought against the Dashi War, he used yaks to break through the enemy formation, and then used elite cavalry to divide and intersperse them in various ways to defeat the Dashi army and make the governor of Khorasan
Only for my own safety.
"Stand up your shield!"
The shield was propped up on the ground, and the tail of the hundred-pole rifle poked the ground and was stepped on by the soldiers' feet, while Haifeng firmly resisted the hard shield.
"Coming! Block it!"
The yak, which was in so much pain, ran wildly and hit the array of shields, instantly erupting with a muffled sound like a bell. The circular shield array caused the yak that hit the side of the circle to just change its direction, and the soldiers holding the shields
With the strength of the spearmen, it was still able to withstand it. However, the yak actually hit the round front of the collision. The entire shield and the people were knocked away, but the two yaks were still charging forward.
"Hold on!"
More than a dozen spears were pierced into the yak's chest. Its body was still moving forward with inertia, and the Qingqi of the sudden rider rushed towards it again.
"Lift the stick up!"
In this brief moment, the Tang army gathered into formation again, and dozens of long poles were erected. The charging horses neighed and stopped the momentum abruptly. The two assault cavalry soldiers did not react in time and were thrown away.
fell down.
After Quechu Teqin was surprised, he was especially impressed: "I can't defeat you like this! It's just a fight between trapped beasts. Come on! Kill!"
Zhao Chonghuan stood in the center of the array, his torn shirt stained with blood. He raised his arm guard and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "I have no choice but to change the battalion because it has insufficient troops and is not prepared for the battle. If there is a battle,
The vanguards are here to treat each other as strangers, and I will teach you that you will abandon your armor and your blood will flow like a river!"
Que Chuteqin laughed angrily: "I'm not ashamed of my words. No matter who comes today, they can't save you, nor can they save Shi Xin. Kill!"
The Tuqishi soldiers clutched their swords and guns and rushed towards the rocks in the heavy rain.
…
"Khan, princess, go quickly! Quickly!"
Sixty-seven Longwu soldiers pulled Shi Xin and his wife to run along the commercial road. The maidservants were exhausted and staggered down while running. Chui Lu, who was carrying a big bow on his back, quickly turned back and helped one of them up.
"Help me! Give me a hand!"
Chuulu had no time to care, so he had to let one person run first, and then picked up the other person. However, their physical strength had long been exhausted, and they were just lingering on.
"Cui Lu, leave them alone! Leave quickly!"
The red sun has been hovering on the horizon, but there is no sign of setting. The blood mist and dust formed by the fighting on the battlefield are mixed together, giving the setting sun a strange and bloody atmosphere.
Fujimaki's remaining 100 or so men were unable to hold back all the enemy cavalry, and a small group of light cavalry still chased them. They set up their bows and shot while running.
The arrows fell from their side with the sound of wind. One after another, some people fell to the ground after being hit by the arrows. They lay on the ground and stretched out their palms in front of them to climb slowly.
"Hiss!" Shi Xin howled in pain, and Chulu exclaimed behind him: "Khan, you have been hit by an arrow!"
"I know, run!"
The jolting of his legs caused unbearable pain on Shi Xin's back, and sweat flowed down his forehead. Two Longwu soldiers held his left and right arms and ran wildly. It must be said that although these people were timid and fearful of fighting, they were indeed physically strong.
Very fast, running and walking quickly without losing breath or blushing.
Chuulu took off the horn bow from his body, fully drew the bowstring, turned around and fought back, shooting an approaching enemy rider off his horse.
"Ah!" Princess Jiaohe staggered, and Long Wujun quickly helped her up. The fragile Turkic woman spat out a mouthful of dirty blood. A feather arrow penetrated her back, and the force penetrated deeply into her bones.
.
Shi Xin was so sad that he cried out: "Are we really going to die here today?"
There is no need to predict the outcome of the race between manpower and war horses. The light cavalry in the rear has already made a sharp whistle, and more than a dozen war horses are outflanking them from the left and right. Seeing that they are about to fall into a dead end.
Fan Shao, who had disheveled hair, suddenly exclaimed in ecstasy: "Look, there's someone!"
Not far away where his arm pointed, crimson flags flew under the blood-red setting sun. The two highest flags were printed with the five characters of Kucha Tiaodang Camp and Kucha Battlefront respectively. Among these many
Under the fluttering flag, the dusty Anxi Army led their horses and ran quickly.
The front row of the queue raised their crossbows while marching, and struck the strings in response to the sound. Several horses chasing at the front were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. The cavalry behind them hurriedly reined in their horses and turned back.
Fan Shao shouted excitedly: "Reinforcements are coming, we are saved!"
Li Siye ran toward them with the two Kucha battalions. When he got closer, he saw that the Khan and the princess were both injured. He was disappointed and regretful and calmly asked Long Wujun: "Where are the people led by Fujimu? The transfer battalion led by Zhao Chonghuan is there.
where?"
"Commander Tengmu led the remaining people to resist the enemy forces from behind. I am afraid that they have been trapped in the enemy's formation." Fan Shao said with a bitter face: "I'm afraid that the reinforcements from the transfer city have also been trapped in the enemy's formation!"
Li Siye ordered loudly: "Yan Xiaosi, lead your soldiers to guard the horses, bandage and heal the injuries of Ji Qijue Khan and his wife! The rest of the brothers will follow me in formation to kill the enemy."
Fan Shao looked at the number of Anxi troops brought by Li Siye. They were only a thousand men. He was a little disappointed. What could these people do? Tu Qi Shi's Qing Qi was so powerful. Wouldn't he go up and shoot the enemy?
He hurriedly stepped forward and crossed his hands to persuade: "General Li, don't be impulsive. There are more than 20,000 enemy troops, including the Mohe troops. They finally rescued Shi Xin Khan, so they should protect him."
Khan needs to evacuate quickly."
Li Siye was unmoved. He turned around and took the flag from Yan Xiaosi's hand, tied it with a ribbon and stuck it behind his back. He also took the Jiu Chi Mo Dao from his horse and leaned it on the ground.
"All 1,500 of our Anxi army are trapped in the formation. Unless we defeat the enemy, how can we rescue them?"
He turned around and said loudly to the soldiers behind him: "Everyone look at my flag! The vanguard is in front, and the jumping soldiers are behind! Follow me to cover the enemy's formation!"
"Here!"
"Duan Xiushi! Unload all the food and baggage on the horses, form a cavalry with your men, and protect our backs! Secondly, supervise the battle to replenish positions, and the whole army will start by themselves. If anyone retreats, behead him immediately!"
