The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 211 First Battle
That night!

The [-] Turkic army headed by Jieli Khan, rested for three hours, and then rushed to the south. After running for an hour, the sky was already bright, and Jieli Khan ordered the entire army to rest on the spot and eat dried meat. .

Xieli, who had already made a desperate effort, only rested for a few moments before getting on his horse and boosting his morale: "Our prairie sons are the descendants of God Lang, but now a traitor has slaughtered countless sons and daughters." The people are really a disgrace to my prairie son, if we don’t get back this face, what face do we have to survive on the prairie?”

Qibi Heli shouted sharply: "The Great Khan is right, my descendants of the wolf god must not shame our ancestors. Tens of thousands of prairie eagles were killed by a traitor like sheep. We are wolves, not Sheep. This kind of shame can only be washed away with the blood of traitors. We must not stop there and make people laugh at us."

With this shout, the other leaders also screamed at the top of their lungs. .

Grassland people have the pride of grassland people. The Turks have dominated the world for so many years. It is everyone's wish to maintain the prestige of the Turks.

In the minds of these khans, whether they are Sui people or Ashina Simo, they are no different from lambs.But today, the "lambs" in their eyes have wiped out nearly a million "wolves" in these two days.It's not easy to slap their pride on the ground, and even step on their feet fiercely, which is intolerable.

Seeing that the leaders of the Turkic Khans were all bloody, Xieli shouted with satisfaction: "The enemy who destroyed our homeland is not far ahead, and they only have 6 people... People, we are the masters of the grassland, Now the hateful traitors are bringing the Sui people to trample on our homeland, what do you say?"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Howling like a wolf...

"Take out your bows and arrows, take out your scimitars, let your enemies know that we Turks are not to be humiliated, and let them tremble under our arrow feathers..."

Jieli Khan's eyes were full of bloodthirsty sternness, and he roared angrily: "Yang Tong is the black hand who supports Ashina Simo, the traitor, and it is he who points the butcher knife at our people time and time again, so as not to rip him off. I, Jieli, swear not to be a human being." He waved his hand, and continued to speak loudly: "Kill the traitor Ashina Simo, and we will continue to go south to the Central Plains, and capture all the emperors of the Central Plains to our grassland, and let them Give our steppe warriors a dance!"

Xieli can become the Khan of the Turks, this demagogic words are still very tempting.

Let the emperors of the Central Plains dance for them, just thinking about it makes the blood boil!

Jieli Khan still felt that the atmosphere was not enough, so he raised his voice and said: "There are not many other things in the Central Plains, except that there is a lot of money and beautiful women!"

"Khan is right! Han people are women. They have thin skin and tender flesh, and their body is fragrant. It's not like my woman, who smells like sheep."

When it comes to women of the Han family, there is always a lustful light in their eyes.

Which one of them is not stained with the blood of the common people?Who has never insulted a Han woman?

In an instant, the shout of "huhahuha" sounded!
Jieli replaced the spare horses, led a group of Turkic soldiers screaming... and flocked to Yema Chuannan with overwhelming momentum.

The speed of the march cannot be described as fast.

But when it was dawn, what appeared in front of them was a banner that covered the sky and the sun, and it was the more than [-] soldiers under the flag of the 'Sui' Zichi who were waiting in full force and their morale was high.

Looking at the murderous army formation on the opposite side, Jieli Khan, his confidants and the chief Khan on the grassland couldn't help but look at each other: Ashina Simo's actions were completely beyond their expectations.They thought that the other party should run away, but they never expected that Ashina Simo, who had been running for so long, would actually put up a formation to meet him head-on.

Now that our side has traveled nearly [-] miles in one go, should we fight or not in such a situation?
Facing the rejuvenated division head-on with tired soldiers.

If you fight, you will suffer yourself!

Do not hit!

Still suffer.

Jieli Khan originally wanted to use the method of attacking the mind, but now he was attacked instead.

Jieli couldn't help but yelled: "Cunning. People in the Central Plains have a bad conscience!"

Seeing that the Khan chiefs from all walks of life were waiting for his order, Jieli gritted his teeth and said: "Fight, I am a Turkic army, and today I have a hundred thousand troops. I am afraid to move forward, and I will not make the world laugh? Slow down, only three miles away!"

The 1 Turks began to reorganize the team, with [-] people as a square, divided into ten squares, overwhelming, almost covering the Yema River.

The spears held high were dense like a forest, and the team slowly advanced forward. The two sides were getting closer and closer, and when they were three miles apart, they stopped advancing.

"Woooooooo..."

The long and long sound of the horn came from the front, Qin Qiong slowly raised his head, and saw a wolf-headed banner slowly approaching from the low mountain ridge in the north, followed by a large expanse of endless swords The forest, that piece of cold blade almost wants to reflect the cold and dark sky.

What appeared after that was the raging crowd.

Thousands of soldiers, boundless, tens of thousands of soldiers, earth to sky!
Hundreds of thousands of Turkic soldiers gathered into an endless wave. Under the guidance of the wolf-headed banner, they rolled down the low mountain ridge and rolled forward. , they only need one charge to rush to the front.

With the wolf's head under the banner, Jieli Khan slowly raised his right hand.

In an instant, hundreds of commanding cavalry galloped along the marching line from the front to the rear: "The Great Khan has an order, stop advancing!"

"Khan has an order, stop advancing!"

"Khan has an order, stop advancing!"

"Dafa has an order, stop advancing!"

The orders were issued one by one, and the 20 army that was moving forward slowly stopped.

Amidst the chaotic sound of horseshoes, generals such as Gu Yushe, Dieluozhi, Ashinasheer, Zhisiluoli, Qibiheli, Yishibo, Xue Luo, Xue Fang and others crowded behind Jieli Khan.

Qin Qiong watched the enemy slowly approaching from afar, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up in disdain.

He looked at the outstanding figure in the crowd: he was a tall, middle-aged man, wearing a gorgeous gold silk armor, wearing a gold helmet, with a brown beard growing on his chin, his eyes rolled away, and he was completely naked. shoot.The man looks mighty and majestic, but the most eye-catching thing is the gleaming golden armor.

Jieli Khan narrowed his eyes, but there was a heavy groan in his chest. This time, this rebel army must never come back, and the Turks must know who is the master of this land.

He slowly drew out the Yili Khan sword that symbolized the Khan, stared at the army formation in front of him, and shouted sharply: "Yi lost the bowl."

The white-haired Yi Shibo sighed, went out to salute, and said, "I am willing to serve the Great Khan."

"It's up to you to fight the first battle, if you don't die! I will make you the eastern leaf guard."

"Yes!" Yi Shibo's heart skipped a beat.

Ye Hu is a Turkic official name.Turkic transliteration.The origin is very ancient, and it was written as "Xihou" or "Xihou" in the Han Dynasty.It is the title of the great chief of the Wusun, Kangju, and Dayuezhi tribes, and later evolved into the name of a senior Turkic official. Its status is second only to the Khan. This is a real military power, and its status is much higher than that of the Little Khan, Great chiefs and chiefs are usually held by the Khan's children or the strong in the clan, but now Xieli has invested such a huge amount of money in himself, and he can't allow Yi to lose his mind.

Jieli Khan grinned grimly, swung his saber, "Let's go to battle."

"Boys, today, let these traitors know the majesty of our Xue Yantuo and the Great Khan. Light offenses are not tolerated. Since you dare to kill us Xue Yantuo, you must be prepared to be killed. Xue Luo, come on!" !" Sitting on the horse, Yi Shibo gave the order to the second son to go to battle.

"kill!"

Behind Xue Luo, [-] Xue Yantuo warriors roared excitedly on their horses like wild beasts. They waved their horses and charged excitedly towards the opposing enemy. The horseshoes beat the ground like countless battle drums, and the [-] troops galloped forward. The momentum is like a rushing flood, roaring and shouting, sweeping towards the enemy.

Shrouded in a morning mist, the war finally kicked off...

"Boys! Take out the bows and arrows in your hands! Avenge our people!"

Xue Luo raised his short bow high and rushed forward first.

This battle was won by him, and he vowed to make those who destroyed their homes pay for their blood here, and at the same time prove to his father that he is stronger than his elder brother, Yi Nan.

After traveling for a few miles, Duo Lun ordered to speed up, and the [-] cavalrymen grabbed the reins, leaned on their horses, swung their whips and slapped the horse's buttocks, and entered the sprint stage.

Under the vigilant eyes of the Khan soldiers in the south, Xue Yantuo's speed was getting faster and faster. Xue Luo waved his saber, "Kill! Kill all these lackeys of the Sui people! Victory belongs to our invincible Xue Yantuo warriors!"

Five hundred steps...

Four hundred steps...

Duo Lun charged forward vigorously with a bow and arrow in hand, and the momentum of more than 1 horses galloping forward together is still very magnificent...

Now that the enemy phalanx in front was getting closer and closer, Xue Luo could vaguely see Sui army infantry with a shield in one hand and a gun in the other looking at the Xue Yantuo warriors rushing towards them.

"Haha! These lackeys are really scared and stupid! We rushed all the way and didn't shoot arrows."

Xue Luo was ecstatic in his heart, and secretly thought that as long as his elite cavalry rushed into the formation, he would be able to kill them all.

Two hundred steps!
At this time, the cavalry has entered a high-speed sprint state, and at this speed they can rush to the front of the phalanx in a short while.However, Xue Luo finally discovered something unusual.

"No...these people behaved too strangely..." Xue Luo's hair stood on end, feeling as if there was some trap waiting for him.

"Everyone stop first! Don't rush! Something is wrong!" Xue Luo restrained his horse, trying to slow down.He reacted in time, but his subordinates were not so lucky.

They are still rushing towards the phalanx at the same speed as arrows...

Just hearing a loud bang, the flat ground in front of the phalanx suddenly collapsed, turning into a long and deep trench.

The cavalry rushing to the front sank immediately, and they turned on their backs, screaming again and again.

Qin Qiong smiled slightly. Last night, he commanded the army to dig a trench with a length of [-] feet, a width of [-] feet, and a height of [-] feet. The trench was covered with cut bamboo and wood, and then covered it with branches and weeds.

The attacking cavalry was caught off guard for a while, so that they all fell into the trap.

Xue Luo was stupefied and at a loss: Seeing the brave and skilled clansmen falling into the trap one by one, being pierced to death by bamboos and trees, blood dripping from his heart, he couldn't help roaring loudly: "Chong, Press me up..."

Running at such a high speed, it is difficult for the cavalry to turn around. Even if the person rushing to the front can stop, the cavalry behind will knock them off their backs.

In this situation, it is impossible to retreat in a short period of time, and the more you retreat, the more chaotic you will be.
Xue Luo saw through this in a flustered manner, and rushed forward to fight the enemy army even if he lost money.

Completely caught in a beating situation, and lost more than 3000 tribesmen before the fight, all kinds of situations aroused the blood of Xue Yantuo's elite cavalry, roaring one by one, ignoring the deadly trap, using their own lives and the lives of their mounts to forcibly pile up a way forward.

Seen from afar, hundreds of cavalrymen looked like waves, the ones in front fell, and the waves behind them came again!Under this desperate assault, the distance between the two armies is shortening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Qin Qiong was also a little moved. The Turkic people deserved to be a strong enemy. This bravery that is not afraid of death is indeed a strong enemy.

"This Turkic general is not good enough! But he is still a little naive." Qin Qiong narrowed his eyes and looked forward with his hands under the awning: as far as he could see, he could see cavalrymen stepping on the flat road made of blood and flesh of their clansmen. All of them were holding short horse bows, and they rushed towards them with the momentum of thunder.

The power of the cavalry's charge was truly astonishing. Qin Qiong could feel the ground shaking under his feet. The speed was also eye-catching, and he rushed to the front in a blink of an eye...

The Turkic soldiers slowed down slowly, even if the Turkic people were skilled in bowing horses, it was impossible to accurately hit the target in the rapid sprint. Slow-down archery is the basis of horse-riding archery.

When Xue Yantuo's soldiers reached 250 steps, they all bowed their bows and waited to shoot...

Because there is no point of focus for cavalry and archery, the bows and arrows used are mostly short bows. The most lethal range is within [-] paces, but when the two armies are fighting, people swarm in one place, as long as they are facing the direction, they can hurt people without aiming... …so as long as it is within the range of an arrow, it can cause damage to the enemy.

Especially the arrow feathers brought by the salvo...

Their cavalry has an effective range of up to 150 paces...

Just when the Turkic cavalry stepped into the 150-step range and were about to enter the [-]-step range, Xue Luo was shocked to find that the enemy army holding a shield suddenly fell to the ground, revealing the soldiers full of crossbows behind them!
The cunning enemy hides a large number of crossbowmen behind the sword and shield soldiers...

All over the sky, crossbow arrows are coming from the sky!

"What a cunning, despicable bastard!" Yi Shibo wailed loudly, and issued an order to the motionless [-] cavalry of the headquarters, "All follow me and kill them all."

The crossbows of the Central Plains have always been the most powerful weapon against nomadic peoples. Therefore, Xue Yantuo has conducted in-depth research on the crossbows of the Central Plains. The effective range of the Fuyuan crossbow can reach [-] steps. No matter how fast Xue Yantuo's cavalry was, the reaction was too fast. It would take a lot of time to turn the horse's head and retreat from a dense formation to a scattered formation, and it was impossible to avoid it.

The only way is to rush into the enemy's formation and engage in close combat with the enemy.

The phalanx formed by two teams of ten thousand people suddenly mobilized, and tens of thousands of horses galloped immediately.

But at this time, the soul-hunting crossbow arrows pierced through people and horses, and often pierced three or four people with one arrow. The Turkic cavalry men and horses hissed mournfully, and the battle was suddenly in chaos.

"Bite 'em! Serial shooting!"

Qin Qiong's eyes shone with scorching light. With an order, these thousands of crossbowmen fired in layers in an orderly manner, and proceeded in a cycle, forming an uninterrupted rain of arrows, which immediately became a terrible nightmare for Xue Yantuo's cavalry.

With the hissing of the horses, Xue Yantuo's cavalry fell to the ground one after another. These fine cavalry usually only shoot people. Who would have thought that there would be a day when they would be shot like this. Many soldiers and horses were nailed to death alive. It was a horrible sight .Although they are also equipped with simple leather shields, they cannot completely resist the rain of arrows falling from the sky.

The [-] cavalry who filled the trench with their lives were completely lost under the continuous overlapping shots of the crossbowmen!
Moreover, the powerful firepower network forced the Turkic cavalry to stop at 150 steps, or even [-] steps.

Xue Luo's face was terribly gloomy, with anger flashing in his blue pupils, he roared, "Children of the Wolf God, charge in! Step on from the bodies of these trash..."

Like a gambler who has lost everything, he let the remnants press him up, and before he finished giving the order, he felt a sharp murderous aura rushing towards his face, and before he could guess the reason, the sharp arrow had already pierced his brain, and Behind him was a huge hole in the chest of one of the guards.

In the distance, Qin Qiong put away that strong bow!He perfectly completed this beheading action with amazing archery skills.

With Xue Luo's death, the result of the victory has been announced.

Xue Yantuo's soldiers, who had lost their command, only knew to avenge their young master, and swarmed up in a disorganized manner.But the powerful firepower net prevented them from advancing an inch!After a while, Xue Yantuo's cavalry began to trample on each other and fled blindly.

In just a few moments, the dead bodies of Turkic people were piled up all over the ground. The dead bodies were like the thick fallen leaves in the forest, densely covering the ground.

In the first battle, [-] Xue Yantuo's cavalry army was maimed to the ground, but Qin Qiong's side had zero casualties.However, the sacrifice of the Xue Yantuo tribe was not useless. They used human dead horse corpses to fill up the deadly trench and consumed a lot of arrows!For Qin Qiong and the others, the next battle is the real test.
