Chapter 61 Big Fish (1)
"Let the sea and the sky gather energy for me, to create the world, and to explore for my ideal..."
The singing resolved the uneasiness in the hearts of the soldiers of the Xiliu Camp and accompanied them all the way to the enemy's position. The brigade Lu Dechuan felt that his right arm was a little sore, and quickly exchanged the positions of his left and right hands, and then raised the flag gun higher.
The flag gun is the follower target of all the brothers of the Second Brigade of the First Brigade of Xiliu Camp. On the battlefield, as long as the flag gun in his hand did not fall, the brothers of the Second Brigade will advance and retreat together with the flag gun. If he is unfortunately bleeding on the battlefield, according to military rules, a team of deputy Lu Guangsha will take the flag gun from him and continue to point out the direction for all the brothers to advance.
"Looking at the vast sky and awesomeness, I am a man, I should be self-reliant..." The brothers around me continued to sing loudly. Some people's voices were hoarse, but they refused to stop. It seemed that the cicadas that had been dormant in the ground for sixteen and a half years suddenly broke through the ground and flew onto the treetops.
"Everyone is a pillar of the country and a hero. I use my 100-point heat to shine a thousand points..." Everyone stepped on the rhythm of the singing and pushed forward with great strides, and soon shortened the distance between the enemy and us to within 150 steps.
On both sides of the team, feathered arrows began to fly over, but everyone ignored the existence of the archer and continued to stalk forward with their heads raised, with golden and red sunshine all over their bodies.
The guards of the Suiye Town, who were following the Xiliu Camp, immediately divided into left and right parts and rushed towards the enemy on the flanks. They soon could no longer interfere with the actions of the Xiliu Camp. The Shuofang regiment, which was ranked in the third order, quietly accelerated under the leadership of Zhou Quji, filling the gaps freed up by the Guards and firmly protected the back of the Xiliu Camp.
The Xiliu Camp, which received strong support from his companions, continued to advance forward, with neither fast nor slow speed, as stable as a chariot. The downhill road was completed by the brothers in the singing, and then the entire team began to move up the terrain. More than 120 steps ahead, the Turks had just built half of the stone wall, looking like a mantis blocking the chariot.
"Turkish dogs can actually build walls?! Turkic dogs actually build walls in front of the Tang people!" An absurd feeling suddenly surged in Luo Guangsha's chest, causing him to stop singing in an instant, and the fear in his heart was immediately wiped out.
The defense of the wall has been the traditional craft of the people of the Central Plains since the Qin Dynasty. The Hu people never do this! The Hu people only ride on war horses and float around! The Hu people just come from the north of the desert and leave after robbing a vote!
Now, the Turks were forced to build a stone wall by the Ye Army to protect themselves! Although the stone wall they built was only half a person tall and had a simple and shabby appearance. But after all, they took the initiative to build a wall and retracted their bodies behind the stone wall!
They didn't have the courage to fight with the Tang Dynasty's Shattered Ye Jun head-on, so before the battle, they put a layer of turtle shell on themselves!
"First Brigade, raise the shield!" A familiar command suddenly came from the team in front. Lu Guangsha was so excited that he had a cold war. He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and quickly clasped the spear in his hand tightly.
"Second Brigade, raise the spear and swing freely!" The voice of the brigade leader Lu Dechuan rang out in his ears. Then, he was repeated loudly by two part-time messengers.
According to the skills mastered during normal training, Lu Guangsha raised the spear in the air and shook the spear rod at will with the beat in his heart. The two rows of spears in front and back quickly turned into two rows of combs above the brothers' heads, interlaced left and right, and moved repeatedly.
The "jingle" sound of arrows hitting the shield and the "cracking" sound of the arrow shaft colliding with the spear rod quickly came into his ears. The Turks behind the low wall began to shoot arrows! Lu Guangsha didn't have to look up, but based on the sound, he came to a conclusion. At the same time, a sudden tension in his heart, fine goose bumps quickly crawled around the back of his hands...
The Turks began to cover the shooting with feather arrows, indicating that the distance between the enemy and us had entered within 100 steps and twenty steps. Their own archers behind us did not fight back, indicating that the distance between the two sides was more than eighty steps. This distance was the most afflicting part of the entire attack. In the previous battle with the Sogdians, Luo Guangsha had already had experience in dealing with it. That is, bow his head slightly, and ignore the feather arrows falling from the sky, without destroying the formation of our team, try to take the steps larger and the legs faster!
The companions around him were obviously similar to his thoughts. They all lowered their heads slightly and protected their faces and necks with the wide helmet edge. At the same time, they continued to sway the spear while stroking rapidly.
"Keep straight and be careful to align with your left and right companions!" Lu Dechuan was the only person in the entire Second Brigade who was not qualified to bow his head. While holding the flag gun high, he raised his throat to remind his brothers under his command.
"Keep straight and pay attention to aligning with your left and right companions!" The same reminder came from the first brigade in front. Immediately afterwards, the teaching brigade and the third brigade behind everyone.
The habits developed by strict training once again dominated everyone's bodies. The speed of everyone's progress showed a clear stagnation, and then the formations of each brigade became neat again and the treads became clear again.
Another wave of arrow rain fell from the sky, blocked by a shield, half to 10% by a spear, and about 30% shot into the empty space. However, 20% still hit the helmets, breastplate, etc. of the soldiers in Xiliuying, making a harsh sound, making everyone standing upside down.
Luo Guangsha instinctively wanted to dodge, but he saw Lu Dechuan continue to strode forward, his body as straight as the flag gun in his hand. He freed up his hand to pinch himself quietly. He gritted his teeth and forced him to follow Lu Dechuan's footsteps. He refused to embarrass himself, nor did he make good friends difficult.
The sound of bowstrings behind him finally rang out, as if it was raining heavily. The archers in the Xiliu Camp finally launched a counterattack against the enemy. In an instant, the feather arrows shot by the opponent seemed to have become much less!
The pressure from the top of his head was quickly reduced. Luo Guangsha instinctively raised his broadside half an inch and tried to look at the target. His eyes flew over the head of the sword and shield hands in front row. After he saw that the low wall more than 70 steps away, several gaps were made in the Turkic shield formation. The Turkic archers hid behind the shield formation hid in Tibet with their heads in their arms!
"They don't have a wide helmet!" In an instant, Luo Guangsha understood the reason why the Turkic archers reacted in a embarrassing manner, and a feeling of pride came from the bottom of his heart.
"Ding!" A white light suddenly flashed in front of him, and then he felt something hit on his chest, and his body instinctively turned to the right, and at the same time he freed up a hand to cover his chest.
He didn't touch anything except a rough scar. He looked down in surprise, and then he found that a feathered arrow fell not far from his feet, and the scar on his chest happened to be the shape of a cluster of arrows!
"I have an iron vest!" The next moment, Luo Guangxia was calm and a feeling of pride filled his whole body.
He continued to look at the enemy with his chin up, and he saw more Turkic archers being hit by the Tang army's feather arrows, and he was stunned. However, his accomplices around him didn't even look at them, just looking for their own locations to hide, so as not to end up with the same consequences.
"They don't!" Luo Guangxia's mind became more and more determined, and his fighting spirit was burning. "They don't care about each other! They won't protect each other! Their sword and shield hands did not provide any cover for the archers! Their spearmen stood even further behind the archers, which was so stupid!"
Based on the skills learned in the new training camp and the experience summarized after the previous battle, Luo Guangsha quickly identified more shortcomings from the enemy. Every time he found one, his confidence in his heart increased by one point.
The robes around him also saw the enemy's embarrassing appearance one after another, and they all felt confident. They adjusted their pace, aligned with their companions, and tried to make the two teams of the Second Brigade walk out a neat straight line.
There were feather arrows shot from the Turks above their heads, but everyone stopped taking them seriously. Soon, another armor-breaking cone shot from the opposite side. The Tang Dynasty sword and shield hands in the front row calmly moved the shield down and blocked the armor-breaking cone from a safe distance.
The two sides were fifty steps apart, and the rhythm of the war drums coming from behind increased, and the speed of the Xiliu Camp's advancement was doubled. The front row of swords and shield soldiers moved the shield down to protect half of their faces and chests. At the same time, they used a horizontal knife to hit the surface of the shield, making a deafening sound, "Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang...", which scared the enemy behind the shield wall to turn pale and their bodies moved back uncontrollably.
The spearmen, archers, and brothers from the brigade of the teaching regiment who came to reinforce continued to move forward while calmly adjusting their paces to ensure the neat formation. The team of more than 400 people faintly formed four waves. Although the scale was not huge, it was very powerful.
"Rolling the spear is level, ready to catch the enemy!" The two sides were thirty steps away, and the brigade leader Lu Dechuan shouted loudly, and at the same time he tried hard to shake the flag gun in his hand.
The flag, tied to the gun, flew in the wind, making a whirring sound. He sent his commands into the eyes and ears of the brothers of the brigade at the same time.
Luo Guangsha was the first to turn his spear from vertical to front, and explored the gap left by the front row of swords, shields and hands, aiming at the enemy behind the low stone wall.
The other spearmen followed up decisively, and the two rows of spears were like the teeth of beasts, reflecting a cold light.
There are still twenty-five steps away from the enemy. "Everyone of the First Brigade of the Teaching Regiment is ready to light the fire!" Zhang Si'an's voice sounded not far behind Luo Guangsha, and the sound was filled with enthusiasm.
A fire was flashing, and the sunset was lit in an instant. The brothers of the First Brigade of the Teaching Corps ignited the fire with movements that were more familiar than any other team, and then took out the grenade from their close-fitting bag.
They were preparing to throw the Turks behind the low wall, and at the same time, they exploded a passage for the Tang Dynasty sword and shield soldiers and spearmen in the front row. Unexpectedly, before they could put the lead of the grenade onto the fire broker, behind the stone wall more than twenty steps away, a "boom" suddenly sounded. All the Turkish sword and shield soldiers threw down their shields and ran away like flies.
Almost at the same time as the Turkic sword and shield soldiers, the Turkic archers also threw the bows and arrows and fled. The Turkic spearmen were unable to react, and their formation was instantly broken by the escapees. The next moment, the intelligent spearmen joined the escape team and threw the spear and the robes around them to the Tang army.
Like boiling soup pouring snow, the Turkic military formation behind the stone wall "melt" at a speed visible to the naked eye. More spearmen turned around and ran for their lives, and then everyone!
A whole Turkic army defeated before it touched. Including the supervising team that followed the spearman! Everyone pushed and shoved, for fear that they would not escape fast enough and would be bombed to death without a complete body!
