Tang Dynasty good husband

Chapter 69 I'll Just Watch You Fight

It turns out that horses are not humans. Humans can pretend to be tired when they are in good shape, but horses can't do it anyway.

Although Cheng Chumo's horses hadn't rested for a long time, at least they hadn't run at high intensity before, and their horsepower was still much higher than that of Turkic horses.

In order for the Turks to catch up with the [-] Cattle Guards ahead, of course, the Turks didn’t know that the [-] Cavalrymen in front were the Qian Niu Guards. In the eyes of the Turks, they were nothing more than well-equipped cavalry from the Tang army. That's all.

The Tang army was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, and coupled with the fact that the Turkic people were as smooth as entering a no-man's land, they were killed from the border to the hinterland of Guanzhong in just a few days.

In the face of such a record, even the most cautious Turkic generals will inevitably experience some inflation at this time.

"Fight..." Su Lie shouted loudly, and the riding whip in his hand seemed to hit the horse's butt hard. In fact, just when the riding whip was about to contact the horse, Su Lie's wrist made a slight movement. It is this action that makes it look powerful on the surface, but in fact the war horse does not suffer much pain, so the full horsepower cannot be used.

This kind of control requires extremely strong mental and physical strength, and it is more strenuous than a real battle. In just a few miles, the horses did not show a tired posture, but the two hundred thousand cattle guards one by one. Exhausted.

The Turkic cavalry behind them were always hung at a distance of about one mile, occasionally farther away, but Su Lie would always adjust the speed of the horses in time to let the Turkic people shorten the distance.

The mulberry forest was right in front of him, but Su Lie didn't directly lead the army into the mulberry forest, but kept running forward for a distance of about half a mile to the side of the mulberry forest.

"Run further..." Cheng Chumo was a little impatient. The mulberry forest was in front of him, but Su Lie refused to let him in, and he didn't give any explanation. Although he was not worried that something would happen if he continued running like this, but his The feeling of being chased by five hundred Turkic cavalry is not so pleasant.

"Our army is not strong enough to defend the entire mulberry forest. Entering rashly will only disrupt our army's deployment, circle around the forest, and enter from the place we left." Su Lie responded lightly, if Cheng Chumo hadn't If it's an awesome old man, Su Lie swore that he would kill this guy.

There is no other reason, too much talk, no rules and no evidence, this kind of person is not suitable for military career at all.

The mulberry forest is very large, with a scale of about 240 mu. According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, one mu of land is one step wide and 28 steps long, and five feet is one step. One foot is about 31-[-] centimeters. It is a square with more than two hundred steps in length and width.

Two hundred ambush soldiers hid deep in the mulberry forest, and their secrecy could still be guaranteed.

The sound of horseshoes rumbling outside, the earth trembling slightly, Qianniuwei, and Turkic shouts continued one after another. One side seemed to be a little anxious, but it showed a trace of stability, while the other side was excited. Even the driver of the horse There was a hint of playfulness in the shouts.

Qin Chao hid behind a mulberry tree, surrounded by scattered mulberry branches, densely packed, except for a few observation holes reserved in advance, Qin Chao was almost surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

For the sake of defense, Qin Chao sacrificed his space for movement. In order to prevent random arrows from shooting in, Qin Chao deliberately let people see a few wooden boards or tree trunks, and erected them on three sides beside him.

With such protection, even if the Turks were to attack them, it would still take a lot of effort to break through the outer defenses.

As for the behavior of the coach, quite a few government soldiers scoffed, but it was reasonable, after all, they were not military officers, nor had they been on the battlefield.

The Qianniu Guard circled around the forest, and the distance from the Turkic people was slightly longer. When the Turkic people just turned the corner, the last group of Qianniuwei cavalry just got into the mulberry forest and rushed to the front of the Turkic cavalry. Just saw this scene.

As for the Tang Army's cavalry actually escaping into the mulberry forest, it made the Turks laugh loudly. Perhaps in their eyes, the Tang Army had a desperate choice.

The Turkic people were not careless and did not enter the mulberry forest rashly. Instead, they divided 300 people into three teams and circled around the mulberry forest to prevent the cavalry of the Tang army from escaping from the other side.

The remaining 200 people rode tall war horses, held their sabers high, and burrowed into the mulberry forest with their heads held high.

The mulberry trees are tall and short, six to seven meters high, and one to two meters short. The branches and mulberry leaves are hanging everywhere, blocking the sight of the Turkic cavalry, and there are traces of branches and mulberry leaves passing over them everywhere.

The Turks could only passively chop the branches and mulberry leaves with their sabers, while angrily cursing that they must kill the Tang soldiers.

However, the Turkic cavalry did not realize that the danger was approaching them step by step. Under this terrain, even large-scale foot battles had great difficulties, let alone horse battles.

As for the cavalrymen of the Tang Army who disappeared as soon as they got into the mulberry forest, it was because they jumped off their horses from the moment they entered the forest, and led the horses forward quickly, much faster than the Turks riding on the horses.

The obstruction of the mulberry forest prevented the Turkic cavalry from discovering the soldiers of the Tang Army hiding beside them. They just continued to pursue the traces of the Tang Army cavalry based on the traces left on the ground, and they did not think that the Tang Army had the courage to dare to come here Ambush them.

"Squeak..." The slight sound of drawing the bow came from all directions, the sound was not loud, the sound of the horses grunting, the Turks scolding, and the sound of the saber cutting the mulberry branches perfectly covered the sound of the bow. down.

'whoosh...'

Suddenly there was a sharp sound, and a sharp arrow flew out, drawing a beautiful trace, and pierced towards the Turkic cavalry in front of it with lightning speed.

'puff……'

The Turkic cavalry hit the arrow without any reaction, and the Tang Army archers were hiding about ten steps in front of him. At this distance, the archers basically would not miss.

The mulberry forest slowed down the Turkic cavalry, which also laid a good foundation for the hit rate.

Immediately afterwards, a series of bows and arrows came out of the string, and one arrow after another stabbed the Turkic cavalry. After a round of bows and arrows, half of the archers dropped their hard bows, raised their horizontal knives, and headed towards the Turks with their nearby comrades. The cavalry rushed.

Although the Turkic cavalry were hit by arrows, one arrow could not kill them unless it hit a vital point.

The rest of the archers continued to look around nervously. Qin Chao divided an area for each of them. After the battle started, their task was to be on guard so as to attack the Turkic people who planned to attack.

　I found out one thing, about recommendation tickets and collections, I absolutely can’t shame on it, the more shame I want, the more they don’t give it, this makes me very entangled, everyone, look On the part of me who is willing to sacrifice face, reward a few recommendation tickets, and reward a favorite?Of course, the judges can't delete the bookshelf first and then add it to amuse me...
