After reorganizing the formation, the target of the Turkic army was indeed Wang Shichong. He pushed the armored cavalry to the forefront, arranged a neat formation, and then charged intensively. The light cavalry followed closely behind and outflanked the two wings. The hooves of the horses hit the ground at the same time, shaking the ground slightly. Before the men and horses arrived, the arrows, which were dense like hail and raindrops, fell on the heads of the Sui army in Jiangdu first.
Ashina Elifer has no choice. The task assigned to him by Shibi Khan is to prevent the Sui army from establishing a camp and protect the space for the main force of the Turks. Now that the Sui army is out of the camp to fight, so what if the Turkic army does not defeat the Sui army outside the camp? If it can prevent the Sui army from setting up camp, how can it suppress the momentum of the Sui army to be oppressed and protect the little space left for the cavalry to move? So even if it was discovered that the strength of the Sui army from the south in battle was beyond estimation and imagination, and knowing that Wang Shichong's tortoise formation was not easy to chew on, Ashina Elifer could only do his best to win the tortoise formation. Otherwise, it will not only hurt morale, but also will not be able to explain to Shibi Khan and Ashina's family when they go back.
Wang Shichong also has no choice. The unscrupulous son-in-law will not send reinforcements, and insists that he continue to stand up. Wang Shichong's disobedience is disobedience, and he will not have the guts to retreat deliberately to preserve his strength-the unscrupulous son-in-law will definitely not give up. Even if he is killed, it is selfless Serve the country loyally, so Wang Shichong has no choice but to curse the 18th generation of his unscrupulous son-in-law's ancestors, pray for the deceased Great Sui general Daxi Changru to show his spirit, and command the army to meet the enemy with all his strength. Roaring incessantly, "Stay steady, stand firm! Let the arrows go! Let the arrows go! The bow and arrow must never stop!"
The heavy infantrymen of the Jiangdu Sui Army at the front raised their spears in unison, like a row of spikes sprouting from the edge of a tortoise formation. The heavy infantrymen whose iron armor had been broken and deformed tried to stand firm, sticking to each other. The long shieldmen in front of them pressed their bodies tightly against the long shields, and the light infantry behind them also used their bodies to withstand their backs, trying to help them face the huge oncoming impact, and the archers behind them desperately pulled their bows and released them. Arrows, fully suppressing the charging momentum of the Turkic cavalry, working together to meet the crazy impact from the grassland bandits, and resisting the sharp arrows and scimitars of the nomadic bandits with flesh and blood.
The Turkic armored cavalry rushed in with the rolling yellow sand, and without hesitation, they directly hit the tortoise formation of the Sui army. The horses soared into the air, and the horseshoes stepped down. , The sound of gold and iron colliding, the screams of wounded and dying soldiers of the two armies, and the hiss of war horses all merged into one, messy and shrill like the screams of innocent souls from the Nine Nether Hell, and blood suddenly flowed at the junction of the two armies. Feiyang, the round tortoise formation of the Sui army was also knocked out of a depression, and the enemy was forced to retreat nearly two feet.
At that moment, Wang Shichong, who was in the formation, and Chen Yingliang, who was watching the battle from a distance, had their hearts raised in their throats, because once the Turkic cavalry broke through this depression, they directly rushed into the Sui army's tortoise formation. Painstakingly arranging this tortoise array is tantamount to breaking through directly.
Fortunately, the brave Sui army in Jiangdu was possessed by the Chinese heroes at this moment. Although they were forced to retreat, even though countless soldiers were hit by the Turkic heavy cavalry, they vomited blood and even flew directly, and many soldiers of the Sui army were directly killed by the Turks. The war horses smashed their stomachs and turned them into meat paste, but after being pressed back for more than a foot, the soldiers of the Sui Army still withstood the Turkic heavy cavalry with their flesh and blood and continued to advance, without giving the Turkic cavalry a chance to rush into the formation , Pulled the Turkic cavalry into the melee combat again.
Seeing this scene, even the Taiyuan Sui Army, which had previously despised the Jiangdu Sui Army, couldn't help bursting into earth-shattering cheers, and their morale was greatly boosted, because the Sui Army soldiers knew very well that they were absolutely not afraid to fight against the Sui Army. The Turkic cavalry fought face-to-face and fought desperately with their swords and guns. I am afraid that the Turkic army will be afraid of the rain of cavalry and archery and the charge and impact of men and horses. As long as they withstand the charge and impact of the Turkic armored soldiers, the Turkic army will basically There is no hope of breaking through the tortoise formation of the Sui army. At the same time, Li Yuan couldn't help but frowned again, feeling even more afraid of the Sui Army's battle capabilities in Jiangdu.
The development of the battle was just as expected. They failed to break into the tortoise formation of the Sui army. Knives and guns slashed and stabbed each other, fighting with their lives. The morale-boosting soldiers of the Sui Army stabbed the enemy upwards and chopped down the horse's legs. The casualties also gave Wang Shichong a big embarrassment.
At this point in the war, the Turkic army's dream of smashing Wang Shichong's tortoise formation in one fell swoop has actually come to naught. Ashina Elifer's face turned blue and he had to reconsider his countermeasures. Chen Yingliang on the side of the Sui army's flag formation nodded repeatedly and made some calculations Finally, Chen Yingliang turned his gaze to Yun Dingxing's position, and ordered: "Zhu Can listen to the order."
Since the reunion with Chen Yingliang, Zhu Can really heard Chen Yingliang call out his name for the first time. Zhu Can was a little distracted by surprise, and it was not until Miao Haichao pushed him from behind that Zhu Can came back to his senses and hurried out. Lie clasped his fists and replied loudly: "The end is here!"
"Let you lead the left guard army of 5,000 troops, leave the camp to wait for orders, line up the moon formation, and pay attention to leaving room for the rear army to leave the camp." Chen Yingliang ordered without expression: "The enemy comes and meets the enemy head-on. If the enemy Don’t come, don’t come without an order, don’t act without authorization, and those who disobey the order will be executed.”
"Behead those who disobey the order?" Zhu Can was stunned again, then clasped his fists and sang promises, then quickly went down to lead the troops out of the camp, and quickly set up the Yanyue Formation requested by Chen Yingliang in front of the gate of the camp. The high Yanyue formation.
Chen Yingliang somewhat overestimated the operational capabilities of General Yun's army. Seeing that Zhu Can led the army out of the camp, Ashina Elifer, who had suffered enough from the battle, ordered the attack before the left guards could finish forming. The 2,000 Turks who had previously been deployed in the northwest of the Sui Army in Jiangdu attacked first and rushed straight to Zhu Can's team. Although it was not a great loss to start a scuffle with the Turkic army, it also lost the opportunity to resist the Turkic charge as powerfully as Wang Shichong.
Zhu Can's attack was unfavorable. Of course, Old General Yun couldn't hold back his face. He kept complaining that Zhu Can's movements were not fast enough, and he was too slow to set up the formation. There really isn't much time to get your feet wet. Chen Yingliang remained calm, just quietly waiting for the next move of the Turkic army.
Sure enough, the Turkic army made a move, and found that the Sui army was too capable in battle. Ashina Elifer, who was unwilling to fight with the Sui army, finally got the chance. Of course, he would not be polite. Immediately after the order was given, another five thousand Turkic cavalry came out to attack Zhu Can's team that had not yet formed a formation without hesitation. , played very hard, and faintly showed signs of defeat.
Chen Yingliang had to make adjustments again, but Chen Yingliang did not send reinforcements to Zhu Can, but arranged for a messenger to go out of the camp to give orders to Li Yuan, who had not been attacked so far, and shouted: "Go and send an order to Ambassador Li, ordering his entire army Advance in the drum array, and go straight to the Turkic flag array!"
After receiving Chen Yingliang's order, Li Yuan frowned for the third time today, but he didn't dare to disobey the military order in public, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and order the drum beating to attack, leading the army northward to attack the Turkic flag formation. As a result, Ashina Elifer was somewhat embarrassed. If he did not fight, it would be tantamount to waiting for his death. Lever had to send another 10,000 troops to meet the Taiyuan Sui army head-on, and started a bow and arrow shooting battle with the Taiyuan Sui army, which was also equipped with a large number of bows and arrows. As a result, the reserve team around Ashina Elifer unknowingly had only about 18,000 left.
At the same time, Chen Yingliang made another adjustment, ordering Liu Jingye, the general of Zuo Tunwei, to lead 5,000 troops out of the Zuoying camp, detour north to take the Turkic main formation as well, and secretly ordered Liu Jingye to form a square formation immediately if the Turks intercepted him. Bao, Liu Jingye is not required to kill many enemies, only Liu Jingye is required to entangle more than the same number of enemies.
Liu Jingye led the army out of the camp, and led his army to the north. Before he could cross the front of the camp, he was already entangled by the same number of Turkic light cavalry. To the northwest of the barracks, Chen Yingliang immediately arranged for Miao Haichao to lead 5,000 troops out of the camp from the front to reinforce Zhu Can, who was already overwhelmed, and lured the Turks to continue to increase their troops to the front.
After a few chess pieces fell, Chen Yingliang's sinister intentions and despicable face have been clearly revealed, that is to use the Sui army's local strength advantage in this area to extend the front line as much as possible, induce the Turks to divide their troops as much as possible, and induce the Turks to disperse their forces excessively Use it to form a partial balance, and then suddenly throw in the elite to break these balances, fight more and less locally, use the strong to defeat the weak, and finally win the entire battlefield. Guessing Chen Yingliang's plan, and nodding secretly, Li Jing leaned into Chen Yingliang's ear again, and whispered, "Commander, move quickly, this place is only twenty miles away from the Turkic camp, and we must guard against the Turkic reinforcements coming." arrive."
Chen Yingliang nodded without saying a word. At the same time, Ashina Elifer also made a command error, that is, he was too eager to win and ignored the issue of dividing troops. In order to quickly establish a partial balance that had gradually formed, Ah Shina Elifer once again sent 5,000 Turks to the south to attack the already defeated Zhu Can's team, leaving only 8,000 reserve troops by his side. .
The treachery succeeded, Chen Yingliang didn't even bat an eyelid, and immediately shouted: "Guo Feng, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong obey orders!"
"The last general is here!" The three generals Guo Feng, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, immediately stepped out, clasped their fists and chanted promises.
"Lead your headquarters and go out from the right camp." Chen Yingliang smiled and said, "Where is the target? Answer me."
"Turkic flag array!"
The three most loyal lackeys under Chen Sangliang's command didn't even think about it, they answered neatly in unison, their resolute attitude and confident expression made the other generals of the Sui army present couldn't help being extremely envious, and they all cursed in their hearts, "He Damn! Why is there no lackey who is not afraid of death and dares to fight tough battles under my command?"
Chen Yingliang nodded with a smile, and then told San Gouzi, the captain of the guard next to him, "San Gouzi, take thirty first-class soldiers to take precautions, four for each person, and they are not allowed to be used until the last moment. Just try not to use it, understand?"
San Gouzi clasped his fists without hesitation and chanted promises, Chen Yingliang nodded again, and when he waved his hand, the three powerful generals and San Gouzi had already rushed down to lead the army to fight, and at this time, Yin Shishi, Yun Dingxing, Li Jing, etc. Only then did people curiously ask what is a first-class soldier, Chen Yingliang smiled but did not answer, everyone was puzzled, only Liu Changgong laughed, and said: "I know, but don't expect me to say that it was brother Chen who pressed the bottom of the box." The trump card, I have to keep it a secret."
After the Baoguo army and two thousand Qiao Peng cavalry elites quickly prepared, the Sui army camp suddenly rang out like thunder and drums, and the right door of the Sui army camp suddenly opened wide, and less than 3,000 Sui army cavalrymen rushed out. Outside the camp, the formation was slightly adjusted to serve the national army as the vanguard, and they charged directly northward without hesitation. General Qiao Peng roared like thunder, and the firearms soldiers led by San Gouzi hid the gunpowder weapons that appeared six hundred years in advance, holding tinder in their hands, It was also roaring excitedly, but the soldiers of the patriotic army rushing to the front hardly made any sound, they just had grinning, blood-thirsty grins, holding high the banner of loyalty and patriotism, and killed the Turkic flag formation without a word .
Sudden attack by the elite cavalry of the Sui Army killed the Turkic army by surprise. The Turkic army who were fighting with Wang Shichong, Li Yuan, Zhu Can, Liu Jingye and other Sui army units were in a hurry. They didn't know whether to divide their troops to intercept or protect themselves. Behind him, Ashina Elifer, who was commanding the Turkic flag formation, also stood up quickly to observe the target of the Sui cavalry that suddenly rushed out. As a result, Ashina Elifer quickly stared at It turned out that this Sui army cavalry did not support Wang Shichong who was the closest, nor did it go to reinforce Zhu Can, who was besieged by the Turks, but passed directly through the narrow gap between Wang Shichong and Zhu Can, and turned to the north.
"Come to help Duke Tang?"
Ashina Elifer once had the idea that this Sui army cavalry was here to reinforce Li Yuan's team at the northernmost position on the battlefield, until he saw everyone wearing white robes crossing the battle area of the Sui army in Taiyuan, When he was directly attacking him, Ashina Elifer just woke up like a dream, and exclaimed: "My flag array? These Central Plains barbarians are here to charge my flag array?!"
After understanding the purpose of the Sui army's cavalry, Ashina Elifer was shocked at first, then flew into a rage, and shouted: "Everyone get on your horses, charge with me, and kill these Central Plains barbarians who don't know the heights of heaven and earth, let these Central Plains barbarians Let's see what a real invincible cavalry is!"
Amidst the disgusting screams, the last 8,000 Turkic cavalry mounted their horses one after another and quickly lined up. Then Ashina Elifer ordered his soldiers to hold up his white-haired handsome flag, and personally led the army to launch a countercharge. The cavalrymen of the Sui army who rushed to the front faced each other and rushed to draw their bows and arrows during the charge. They performed their riding and archery stunts, throwing colorful and vigorous feather arrows at the heads of the Baoguo army who were leading the battle.
Ashina Elifer should really inquire about the situation of the National Army from the Turks in Nao County, but it is a pity that even if he inquired about it, it was useless. Relying on his outstanding performance in the past two years, he is so well equipped that even the Imperial Forest Army of the Sui Dynasty is jealous In the national army, even the most ordinary soldiers are already armed to the teeth, even men and horses are all wearing iron armor, which is the best iron armor carefully crafted by the royal workshop. That is to say, a few strings of sparks burst out, unless they happen to hit a position that is not protected by armor, they basically have no effect, and the result is exactly the same. The Turkic cavalry released several waves of arrow rain one after another during the charge, and basically threw them into the ground. All the soldiers of the Baoguo Army riding Dawan good horses were still approaching with grinning grimaces, silently fighting towards the front of the Turkic army.
"No! It's a heavy armored soldier!" Ashina Elifer was startled first, then turned pale with shock, and exclaimed, "How is it possible? Heavy armored cavalry can run so fast? What kind of horses are they riding?"
While screaming, Ashina Elifer subconsciously slowed down a bit, but the attached soldiers beside him continued to charge without fear, and several Turkic attached soldiers with their hands stained with Han blood even roared loudly , "You savage, come here if you want to die! Ella! Ella!"
"It's noisy."
Pei Xingyan, who rode with Guo Feng and rushed to the front, finally muttered something. Just in front of him, there was a Turkic appendage rushing towards him. He screamed and stabbed Pei Xingyan with a gun. The Turkic attached to the opposite side was shocked, shouting and waving the gun with both hands, trying to throw Pei Xingyan off the horse. Never thought that Pei Xingyan, the monster who could be counted on fingers at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, would lift him up to the sky with his left hand. Up, and then smashed down, the unlucky Turkic Possession immediately flew backwards screaming, knocking over two more unlucky companions. Finally, Pei Xingyan muttered again, "It's so noisy."
With a bang, Chen Ci, who was next to Pei Xingyan, hit a Turkic soldier on the head with a stick, smashing his helmet and deforming him, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and died tragically on the spot. Sweeping it out, another Turkic soldier turned over and fell off his horse.
With a cry, there was a powerful and familiar sound of piercing through the air, and Guo Feng on the other side swung the nine-ring machete that Huangfu Wuyi had personally given him, and slashed at the enemy on the opposite side. The Turkic soldiers on the other side were frightened. Leaning back to hide, Guo Feng's machete directly hit the head of his crotch horse, splitting the horse's head into two pieces on the spot, and then suddenly an iron gun protruded from behind Guo Feng, and stabbed the Turkic soldier who had already frightened into a fool. After that, Guo Feng and the soldiers of the Nationalist Army who used the guns did not speak, and continued to fight with other Turkic soldiers with their knives and guns.
Chopping melons and chopping vegetables, armed to the teeth, the soldiers of the patriotic army didn't even shout slogans, just silently swung their knives and guns, swung sticks and smashed hammers, and silently harvested the lives of the opposite enemies like a killing machine. Even when he was injured by an arrow and a gun, he didn't make a sound, just greeted the enemy with the weapon in his hand as much as possible, his expression was as calm as eating and drinking, and as cold as a thousand years of ice. The Turkic soldiers opposite them were all terrified, screaming, "Who are these Central Plains barbarians? Why are they so powerful? Why are they so powerful?"
"Kill! Kill!" The cry of killing sounded from the two wings of the Baoguo army. The Qiaopeng cavalry led by Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong came up from the left and right of the Baoguo army. Although these Qiaopeng cavalry were far behind in terms of equipment The soldiers of the Nationalist Army have seen no less blood than the soldiers of the Nationalist Army on the battlefield. They wield their knives to fight tigers and tigers, and their power does not have to be inferior to the soldiers of the Nationalist Army. The people around Ashina Elifer Although Turkic Fuli was elite, it was only a tie with the most elite of the Qiao Peng Sui Army.
Qiao Peng's cavalry covered the two wings, and the soldiers of the Bao Guo Army were naturally more unscrupulous in the charge. The more than 800 cavalry did not make any discounts, but took a straight line to attack Ashina Elifer's commander-in-chief. Although the Turkic cavalry stepped forward to block , but couldn't stand the indifferent slashing and killing by this group of killing machines, they were chopped down one after another, countless people turned over and fell off their horses, and more and more people were terrified. In the end, even Ashina Elifer panicked. I screamed in my heart, "Oops, I underestimated the enemy too much. I didn't expect this group of dead soldiers from the Central Plains barbarians to be so powerful, even my attached soldiers can't stop them."
After all, the Turkic cavalry is still a large number of people. Even if the front is unfavorable, they quickly spread to the two wings and gradually surrounded the Sui army cavalry. Under normal circumstances, no matter what the Turkic army did, it would have some effect. At least it could overwhelm the Sui army cavalry psychologically. Unfortunately, the Turkic This time, the army ran into a group of non-human beings, a group of abnormal humans who had never fought against an enemy five times or less since the formation of the army, and confronted an enemy ten times or dozens of times head-on at every turn. Not only did they not receive the effect of intimidation and containment, but they also revealed a huge flaw, directly exposing their leader, Ashina Elifer, to this group of abnormal humans in white robes.
"Ayla! Ayla!" The Turkic soldiers beside Ashina Elifer were still rushing up crazily, trying to stop the Nationalist Army team that was still going directly to their commander, but they didn't notice it at all while they were nervous. There are only a few hundred attached soldiers left around Eliver, and at the same time, they can't stop the advance of several brave generals of the Nationalist Army. Chen Ci, the calmest among the four generals, also suddenly realized that the opportunity was coming, and immediately shouted at San Gouzi who was hiding behind: "San Gouzi, take action! Cover us to capture the Turkic general alive!"
After hesitating for a while, San Gouzi also roared and gave the order to throw. Thirty firearms soldiers, each of whom were soldiers of Chen Yingliang, immediately took out a gunpowder bottle, lit the fuse with the tinder they carried, and threw it vigorously at the Turks ahead. team. At the same time, several generals of the Baoguo Army who defeated Yang Xuangan with this secret weapon two years ago also yelled at the same time, "Charge!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The gunpowder weapon, which appeared six hundred years earlier, exploded for the first time in the crowd of the Turkic army. Although the power of the explosion was pitifully small, and although the greatest effect was only to intimidate the enemy, the sudden effect six hundred years earlier was still extraordinary. Fan Xiang, no matter how elite the Turkic Attachment in front of Ashina Elif was, they were bombed to pieces, their eardrums were shattered, their ears were bleeding, and they were dizzy and disoriented. The team was in chaos. Knowing these effects, the soldiers of the national defense army did not even blink their eyelids, and took the opportunity to rush straight to Ashina Elifer wearing a golden helmet, and finally there was a uniform roar in the team, "Catch alive!" !"
The violent explosion not only scared Ashina Elifer and the troops around him, but also scared the Sui soldiers and Turkic soldiers in other positions on the battlefield. Seeing Ashina Elifer's white-haired handsome flag fall and disappear, the Turkic soldiers and the Sui army were dumbfounded, and then they cheered loudly, and their morale suddenly burst.
Most of the Sui army generals around Chen Yingliang, including the future military god of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing, were frightened and dumbfounded. They couldn't help but exclaimed, "What's going on? What's the sound? Thunder?"
"Hahahaha...!" Liu Changgong, General Liu laughed wildly proudly, "Brother Chen, congratulations, this battle is definitely won again, and I was frightened by you again. Let's see the effect this time. Last time You caught Yang Xuangan with this move, this time we will see if you can take the head of the Turkic general."
"If you don't get the heads of the Turkic generals, I'll skin them when you come back!" Chen Yingliang cursed depressedly: "We have not lost the slightest bit, and we don't need to use this trick at all. It has exposed my biggest trump card. If I still can't get the head of the Turkic general, I want them to look good when I come back!"
After finishing speaking, Chen Yingliang glanced at the generals of the Sui army who were dumbfounded, and said depressedly: "What are you looking at? It's a scary weapon. It's useless after you use it once. Let's expose this weapon in advance." , Even if I win the head of the Turkic general, I still feel a loss! Damn, I originally wanted to stay and entertain the Sibi thief chief! I have lost a lot, I have lost a lot this time!"
