Chapter 73: Long Spears Like Forests
"My sons! I will pass on the orders of this general! The enemy underestimated my Tang Dynasty men and sent only 10,000 cavalry to come. We will not take advantage of it, and will pay 10,000 to 10,000 to let them know that my Tang Dynasty is not a place where barbarians can come to play wild!" Yuchi Gong passed the orders to the soldiers behind him.
Get order!
Since obtaining the secret method of using infantry and cavalry given by Bai Fan, Yuchi Gong has begun to step up training. This time, he and Chai Shao led 30,000 troops, including 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry. These 20,000 infantry have been trained by him with the new recruits technique for a month, and sharpening his knife for one month will bring blood today!
When I was training, I knew that this method was absolutely effective in restraining cavalry. Therefore, in order to boost morale and to attack the morale of the enemy, Yuchi Gong decided to 10,000 to 10,000. If I could win, it would be worth it to take the risk once!
As the general of the army, he knew in his heart that he had only 30,000 people, and with the miscellaneous soldiers, he was simply not as good as 60,000 soldiers and horses. If he used 30,000 soldiers and horses, even if he destroyed all 10,000 iron cavalry of the enemy, the consequence would only greatly stimulate the enemy's fierceness and make them counterattack!
Only by defeating the cavalry with infantry and defeating the enemy cavalry with the same force can they give the opponent a headache. One battle can make them afraid, and this battle will be considered half of the victory!
The Turks laughed, "This black enemy general is not a fool, right?" He fought against 10,000 cavalry with 30,000 infantry and was even a death sentence. He still wanted to fight 10,000 against 10,000?"
Qibing Heli was the leader of the Turkic Tiel tribe and the number one warrior of his tribe. In order to seek credit in front of Jie Li Khan, he specially asked for the first battle because it was the first merit. With the credit, it would be better for his tribe to share the benefits. After all, he and others were dependent on the Turks, not Jie Li's direct lineage!
"Warriors! Today is the time for us to seize wealth. Let me join the Han army and cut down the weak Han people on the opposite side. As long as we destroy them, the glory, wealth, wealth, and beauty will belong to us!
kill!"
With a command, Qi Bi Heli took the lead, waved his scimitar and rushed out. More than 10,000 cavalrymen in the headquarters were fascinated by the temptation of the money beauties. His eyes were blood-red, like bloodthirsty wolves, and he rushed straight to the opposite army formation with the general!
Yuchi Jingde looked serious and watched the 10,000 elite cavalry soldiers in front of him gradually accelerate. Not only did he not feel nervous, but he became more and more calm. This is the psychological quality that a famous general should have!
"Send an order! Three thousand spearmen stepped forward and spears came out like a forest! The brothers behind them blocked the steps of the cavalry. Without orders, they were not allowed to take a step back!"
Get order!
They shouted in unison and saw soldiers walking out of the formation with long guns over ten feet long and divided into three teams, each with three rows of tilted the spear in their hands forty-five degrees and stably inserted them under their feet. At the same time, they held the gun bar and tilted slightly forward, with their eyes showing the determination to die!
The Turkic cavalry who were rushing forward laughed even more happily when they saw it. In the past, infantry and cavalry started to suppress them with arrows from afar. What is the other party doing today? Do you want to fight with spearmen? You don’t even need arrows?
But no one answered their questions. The only answers were spears inserted into the horse's neck, and some were even ruthless, even penetrated them with people and horses. From a distance, it looked like they were wearing candied haws!
What is this? Aren’t it a spearmen? When did it become such a powerful horse-rejecting stake? Qi Bi Heli knew it was not good at first glance!
Because he saw the result of the collision between the two sides, not only his own war horses were pierced, nor were the enemy soldiers holding spears being knocked away, some were even directly smashed, and those who were not smashed were trampled into meat mud after landing on the ground.
The most important thing is that after this wave of collision, the speed of his cavalry decreased!
No, I already knew that I might have been fooled, but there was no flash of lightning on the battlefield. He was so lucky that he had changed his moves at the moment. The two sides had already fought each other. Tiele's cavalry vanguard had already collided with the second team of spearmen when Qie Heli was stunned. Then the third team was defending. The cavalry had no momentum to rush forward, and the chaos of the front and back teams striking each other. At this time, the front of the battlefield was simply a purgatory on earth. For a moment, the war horses were running in chaos, horse corpses, human flesh and blood, etc. were everywhere!
"The spearmen retreated, and the Modao team stepped forward, from front to back, cut through them!" Yuchi Gong gave the order, and the spearmen who survived by chance finally quickly withdrew from the battlefield. They strictly followed the previous training. Even if there was an enemy in front of them that could be killed with one knife, they didn't have to worry about it. They just ran away, just to make room for the Modao team!
The Modao Team with a thousand people was all the people that the three Tang dynasties could piece together. They were all borrowed by Yuchi Gong for this moment!
The Modao was originally derived from the Three Kingdoms Daguan Knife, and was improved from generation to generation. In the end, the blade body became narrower, longer and sharper, easy to cut and kill, but the weight of the whole body did not decrease at all. Each Modao weighed dozens of kilograms, so it was not a person with extraordinary strength, and could not move the Modao at all!
The power of the Modao is an unparalleled existence in the entire Tang Dynasty. With one knife, even people and horses can be split into two. Therefore, the Modao team of the Tang Dynasty is definitely a great killer in the hearts of the barbarians on the grassland!
A thousand swords and weapons crossed in two rows and pushed forward, pushing them across the road. Wherever they passed, they were all corpses and blood. In an instant! These ten thousand cavalrymen were killed and their minds were destroyed. They began to turn their horses to retreat one by one!
At this time, Yuchi Gong issued the third order, "Six thousand swords and axes, come forward and quickly kill the enemy on the battlefield to escape. In this battle, I, the Tang Dynasty, do not want to capture prisoners and do not live!"
Get order!
In ancient times, the most important thing in combat was not the number of people, but morale. The so-called army that lost 10% of the soldiers was reduced by half, and the army had not yet collapsed. This was the era when Li Er's Xuanjia army exceeded 30,000, and this was the reason. He was afraid of killing 100,000 people at the fastest speed, and they beat them to the point of scattering and running away like a few legs!
Qi Bi He Li was stunned, Jie Li was stunned, and all the Turkic generals were confused!
What is this situation? Ten thousand cavalry against ten thousand infantry, and the infantry finally chased the cavalry and killed the ground? Is the world the opposite? Are we dazzled?
Before Qi Bi Heli could figure out why, what greeted him was a pair of iron whips. After Yuchi Gong gave the third order, he knew that there was no suspense in this battle, so he prepared to capture the enemy general so that he could negotiate conditions with Jie Li!
The final result was incredible. The Turkic side suffered a gorgeous defeat at the cost of losing 8,000 athletes by the Tiel tribe and taking over the leader Qibian Heli!
Correspondingly, the Tang Dynasty also lost the lives of five thousand athletes, but the remaining five thousand were already red in their eyes. If there were another ten thousand infantry barbarians, these five thousand people would dare to say that they could cut down the other side!
The rear commander Chai Shao laughed. When Bai Fan said that one of the battles was replaced by another, it seemed that he was humble. This method was simply a real way to defeat the cavalry with infantry! It seems that in the past, people did not dare to use infantry against cavalry because the reason was not that they could not defeat them, but that no one had the courage to sacrifice half of the soldiers at once to reduce the speed of the cavalry and pierced this layer of window paper. In the future, it would be no longer a myth!
