Man Tanghong

Chapter 698 The Outrageous Battle (46)

"put!"

When the Turkic cavalry saw the iron armor blocking their path, they decisively bent their bows and set arrows, and a round of arrows rushed towards them like a gust of wind and rain.

"Royal!"

Without Li Shimin's order, Yu Wenbao took a giant shield and stood in front of him.

Clinking, the crackling sound of arrows colliding, like rain hitting plantains.

"The Khan has an order to kill the king of Tang and Qi and give him a thousand tents!"

Turkic Meilu, the leader, saw that the arrows were blocked by a huge shield, and there were thousands of iron armor blocking the way in front of him, and he began to be generous and inspiring.

In fact, without his encouragement, the Turkic cavalry who had already seen the Qi Ziqi began to scream, and their morale had already climbed to a peak.

It doesn't need him to say, the Turkic cavalry also know what kind of reward they will get after beheading King Qi of the Tang Dynasty.

So they shouted and yelled, those with throbbing veins on their foreheads, marching forward, forward, and forward.

After the iron armor standing in front of them collided with them, they immediately launched the most tragic fight.

They were trying their best to break through the iron wall cast by the iron armor, and the iron armor also tried their best to prevent them from crossing the iron wall.

The sound of the collision of horseshoes and iron armor, the collision of machetes and spears, was like rain hitting plantains, crackling, rapid and violent.

"put!"

After the Turkic cavalry broke through the first line of defense of the armored soldiers, Li Shimin ordered coldly, and the small flag in his hand was quickly drawn down with his voice.

At this moment, the crossbowmen who had already loaded their crossbow guns knocked down their machine brackets together.

The crossbow spear as thick as the baby's arm flew into the Turkic cavalry with the sound of the wind.

The Turkic cavalry fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Iron Armors who were fighting with them saw the opportunity, formed a spear array with the spears in their hands, and stabbed them out fiercely.

Seven or eight spears, or even a dozen long spears, greeted a Turkic cavalry at the same time. Even the Turkic cavalry was stabbed off the horse's back due to its extraordinary ability.

Then he was pierced with countless spears and his body was full of holes.

"Let it go!"

Li Shimin ordered again.

Another round of crossbow spears flew out, and the front team of Turkic cavalry was completely buried under the sharp stabs of crossbow spears and iron armor.

Not only were the squadron and rear squadron not intimidated by this kind of battle, but they charged harder and fought braver.

The most important thing is that the person who led the Turkic Iron Cavalry Squadron was actually a Han Chinese.

His visor was picked off at some point, revealing a face full of vicissitudes.

Li Shimin frowned subconsciously when he saw it.

Seeing this, Li Yuanji questioned, "Why, do you know each other?"

Li Shimin said with a gloomy face, "Yang Xiaoyi, the son of Yang Wenju."

Li Yuanji thought about it for a while, and found that this person was not in his mind, and he was very unfamiliar with Yang Wenju, so he couldn't help looking at Li Shimin with a questioning look.

Li Shimin explained in a deep voice: "I belong to the same generation as Yang Su, and he was born later than Yang Su. Yang Su's son, Yang Xuangan, disappeared after the failure of the Luoyang uprising. He didn't expect to get mixed up with Yang Zhengdao and began to work for the Turks. .”

Hearing these words, Li Yuanji suddenly realized who Yang Su was. He was the Shang Shuling, Grand Master, and Situ of the former Sui Dynasty. , was a power minister 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 Daye, and was suppressed by Yu Wenshu, and his clan members were also implicated.

Logically speaking, the Yang family that Yang Xiaoyi belonged to was condemned by Yang Guangming Yu Wenshu, and should have had an enmity with Yang Zhengdao, but now they actually helped Yang Zhengdao.

Even at the expense of being a traitor, she began to work for the Turkic people. I don't know if some twists and turns happened in the middle, so Yang Xiaoyi chose to let go of her 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, he should die.

Traitors are something that everyone has to punish.

"Bring a heavy spear!"

Li Yuanji stretched out his hand and asked the guard Zaize to fetch a heavier spear.

Li Shimin just glanced sideways and didn't say anything.

Not long after, the personal guard handed over a special spear to Li Yuanji. Li Yuanji weighed the weight of the spear. It was a little light and didn't fit in his hand, but it was barely usable.

When Yang Xiaoyi stepped on the bones of his companion and tore through the two lines of iron armor, and was quickly approaching the Qi character flag, Li Yuanji raised his spear to take aim, and then threw it vigorously.

The spear flew out with a sharp roar, and almost in the blink of an eye, it pierced Yang Xiaoyi's chest, pierced Yang Xiaoyi, and even the two people behind him were also pierced.

For a moment, the Turkic Iron Cavalry Squadron led by Yang Xiaoyi panicked. The Iron Armors seized this opportunity and began strangling desperately. The Turkic Iron Cavalry Squadron was strangled to death when it was thirty feet away from the Qizi banner.

The rear team was far less sharp than the front team and the squadron, but with the front team and the squadron leading the way, they also advanced to the distance of ten feet from the banner.

At a distance of ten feet, the position and faces of everyone under the Qizi banner can be clearly seen.

It's a pity that they couldn't jump over the last ten feet distance, even if their intestines were poked out and wrapped around their waists to continue fighting, they still couldn't take a step forward.

The iron armors almost seemed to be crazy, regardless of damage or means, they threw themselves on the Turkic iron cavalry.

Some people even jumped up with the help of their comrades, and rolled the Turkic cavalry on the horseback to the ground. The dense armor-piercing hammers would hammer the Turkic cavalry into rag dolls in an instant.

After the iron armor paid the lives of more than 400 people, the Turkic cavalry was finally exhausted.

When the head of the last Turkic cavalry was chopped off, the captain who led the army knelt on one knee under the Qi character flag, with blood dripping on his body, and reported, "His Royal Highness, all the Turkic cavalry were strangled ten feet away."

Although Li Shimin's order was three feet, he dared not let the Turkic cavalry come within ten feet.

After ten feet, the bows and arrows and throwing weapons in the hands of the Turks will be more accurate and more lethal. What's more, some Turks will take advantage of the momentum of the horses to jump up and rush to the ground. Under the banner of the word big.

Although he couldn't hurt Li Yuanji and Li Shimin under the banner, it was a crime for him to scare Li Yuanji and Li Shimin.

Historically, because those in power were frightened, countless guards were beheaded, so the captain didn't dare to bet at all.

"It's a good idea that you guys have a bit of sense..."

Li Shimin said something coldly, as if he was not satisfied with the performance of the Iron Armors in this battle.

Li Yuanji did not have such high standards and requirements as Li Shimin, so he smiled and said to the captain: "Good job, go and stand by."

The captain hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Here!"

Then he retreated to the side with a group of wounded armored men.

Just when the auxiliary soldiers were about to step forward to clean up the battlefield, a deafening exclamation erupted from the left wing of the battlefield.

Li Yuanji pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a while before he could hear clearly. It seemed that Hou Junji showed his might on the battlefield and beheaded a great chieftain who had a high prestige in Turkic.

Although Li Yuanji didn't know who the chieftain Hou Junji killed was, he still looked at Li Shimin with a smile.

Li Shimin's face was a little dark, as if he didn't want to talk and no one would talk to me.

Seeing this, Li Yuanji stopped teasing Li Shimin.

Hou Junji, who was not valued under Li Shimin's command and has always been on the bench, has made many achievements and shined brilliantly in this battle against the Turks.

This is definitely a shame for Li Shimin.

After all, Li Shimin is still very conceited when it comes to judging people. He thinks that he has never overlooked the talent of a general. Now that he has overlooked Hou Junji, he is naturally unhappy.

"What is the right wing doing? It has been prepared for so long and fully prepared. Could it be that they can't even take down some Turkic offal?"

After being silent for a while, Li Shimin suddenly roared.

The eldest Sun Shunde, who was standing by, looked like he had eaten shit, and didn't know how to answer.

What does it mean to have prepared for so long and so well that you can't even take down some Turkic offal?
Is that offal?
That is the elite of the Turks, the essence of the millions of Turkic people in the Turks. Although the armor is a bit crude, their bravery is not inferior to the vast majority of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty.

Hou Junji was able to kill a Turkic chief, it should be that Turkic chief who rushed in greedily, otherwise Hou Junji wanted to kill the Turkic chief, he had to kill the Turkic central army.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

Just when Changsun Shunde didn't know how to answer Li Shimin's question, cheers erupted from the right wing.

Although I don't know what happened to the right wing, but the people on the right wing have changed from the initial defense to the offensive formation, and they are rushing against the Turks. The right wing should have stood up when they were in close contact with the Turks. upper hand.

When the left and right sides were losing, and the prepared surprise soldiers did not achieve their effect, the horns of the gathering soldiers sounded from behind the Turkic formation.

Li Shimin said with an unprecedented serious expression: "Xieli is going to fight us to the death!"

Li Yuanji also nodded solemnly.

This kind of battle to the death on the battlefield is a large-scale hedging and large-scale hand-to-hand combat.

This meant that the Turks would lose the advantage that war horses could give them.

But at the same time, they can also take advantage of their strength.

This kind of battle to the death is the cruelest and most cold-blooded, and the fight is just a waste, until one side can't bear the huge loss and gives up.

"Beat the drums! Gather soldiers!"

Li Shimin ordered in a deep voice.

The thick animal skin drum was sounded, and Hou Junji and Li Shentong, who were fighting against the Turks, slowly led their troops to retreat while fighting, and finally two long dragons converged into one.

"Beat the drum! March!"

Li Shimin ordered again.

Hou Junji and Li Shentong led the overwhelming army to press down step by step.

On the other hand, the same is true of the Turks.
