Chapter 169 Bloody battle to turn the tide
The soldiers of the Yiwu army retreated to the rear of the spear team still did not trim, but instead drove their bows and arrows tirelessly. They did not need to consider the correct head, just shoot arrows in front.
The Turkic cavalry, who had approached the army less than a hundred steps, leaned on the horse's back. When they looked at the sharp spear formation in front, they crazily stabbed the horse's buttocks with short swords, and at the same time, they used the spear to hit the horse's belly tightly, driving the horse forward to crash.
"withstand!"
In the military formation, the grassroots officers such as Huocheng and the Gunzheng all roared. It was the first time they saw such a crazy rushing attack. The Turkic cavalry who took the lead were clearly dead soldiers who put life and death aside.
In the whine, the crazy war horses hit the sharp spear, blood flowing, and the Turkic cavalry, who had moved from extremely moving to extremely quiet on the saddle, were thrown away directly, and some people broke their necks directly, but as long as they had a breath, they got up and rushed towards the Tang army beside them, and were then stabbed into a hedgehog.
Seeing the frontal military formation front being shaky by such crazy suicide charges like the Turks, Chen Guang finally realized that he had made a mistake. Although these Turks were not fully equipped with military equipment and lacked food and fodder, they were also forced into a desperate situation, so they could burst out with such terrible combat power.
Li Shouzhong no longer had the calmness he had before. He was a long-lasting general. It can be seen that the Turks were fighting with a momentum. If the Turks saw the hope of victory at this time, the subsequent battle would be even more tragic, and he had to order the entire army to withdraw into the camp and defend.
A group of Turkic remnants who were driven away by Uighur barbarians like wrecked dogs are also worthy of forcing the Tang Dynasty's heavenly soldiers to retreat!
He would never accept this result!
"Sinking light."
Li Shouzhong looked at Chen Guang. At this time, only those Turkic dead soldiers who were constantly attacking the front were defeated head-on. He did not believe that all the 20,000 Turkic soldiers were so ready to die.
"The last one will be there."
"Take your people out and destroy those Turkic dead soldiers. Someone will send two hundred light cavalry to cover your flanks."
"Here!"
Chen Guang took the order and left. He knew that the three hundred armored cavalry under Li Shouzhong were regarded as the trump card for the victory and defeat. At this time, he could only use his people to support the step formation.
Seeing Chen Guang walk down the wooden platform, Wang Shenyuan and the fang soldiers looked extremely solemn. They were fighting old wars. In the past, when they followed Gao Xianzhi, the lord, the fang soldiers who were usually served with delicious food and drink, took them at this critical moment.
The veterans looked at Chen Guang who was returning to the formation in silence, while the Kucha good sons and men were already full of blood and could not help themselves. They were all staring at Chen Guang, the young lord, with burning eyes, waiting for his next order.
"Three rows of horizontal lines and follow someone to the formation."
Chen Guang shouted lightly and had already turned over the horse, then the fang soldiers and the veterans shouted, "Three rows of horizontal lines, follow the husband out of the battle."
The cavalry of one hundred and twelve people were divided into three forty cavalry teams, and then Chen Guang took the lead in the first team. At this time, on the wooden platform behind him, as the flag was waving and the sound of golden drums was loudly raised, the Yiwu army soldiers in front of him made way for the cavalry to attack.
"drive!"
With a shake of the reins of the horse, the sun shook the horse and rode out, and then three rows of cavalry wearing heavy armor burst out.
On the wooden platform, Li Shouzhong looked at Chen Guang who led the crowd first, and his expression was hard to see. He now knew how outstanding Chen Guang was. Just because of this courage and momentum, as long as he survived, he would definitely be a general of the Anxi Army in the future.
But if this Chen Lang was killed in this battle, the Gaoliu would definitely fight for herself. Thinking of Gao Xianzhi, the deputy guru of Anxi, Li Shouzhong sighed deeply, hoping that this Chen Lang could be blessed by the king of the king and return all over his body.
On both sides of the military formation, the two hundred light cavalry of the Yiwu army had also emerged. They would attack the Turkic dead soldiers who were charging to the death with the armored cavalry led by Shen Guang.
Almost a moment, Chen Guang pulled the horse speed to the highest level. Then when he rushed out of the military formation, he pierced the Turkic cavalry running in front of him with his spear. He almost had no time to withdraw his spear. Another Turkic cavalry rushed in front of him. Chen Guang drew his sword with his left hand and forced a knife to kill the Turkic cavalry off his horse.
The three horizontal armored cavalry finally resisted the more than a hundred Turkic dead soldiers who rushed forward, but after this round of head-on battle, more than 20 people were also dismissed.
The fallen men and the Kucha Liang family did not show off. They remembered Chen Guang's instructions and once they fell off the horse, they immediately met with their nearby companions, and then moved closer to the military formation behind them.
Chen Guang, who had reorganized the team, charged again, and faced the Turkic dead soldiers in front who were still rushing to death without hesitation. He also did not believe how many Turkic people were like this who were not afraid of death. This is a competition of will and momentum between the two sides. Whoever showed their timidity first will lose!
What made Chen Guang feel relieved was that he was not fighting alone. Li Shouzhong sent light cavalry on both sides of the army to jump and guard both wings for them. After a brief renovation, the Yiwu army infantry behind them also reorganized their team, lined up and followed them up behind them.
"kill!"
With the roar, Shen Guang forgot everything, and only rushed forward with sacrifice and rushing forward with the teeth soldiers and everyone around him.
"Clam!"
In the harsh voice, the sun shook the horse with a knife and staggered, and the Turkic cavalry's head was cut off with expressionless expression. He didn't remember how many swords and guns he had been hit on, and he no longer cared.
On the wooden platform, Li Shouzhong was already stunned, because Shen Guang rushed forward like an immortal monster, and no one could stop him. Such courage reminded him of Li Siye, who had worked with Beiting, a man who was also as strong as a monster.
Behind Chen Guang, the soldiers of the Yiwu Army who were advancing were also stunned. They shouted and howled wildly. After Chen Guang defeated the Turkic soldiers for the third time, the Turkic people who had been attacking for a long time finally retreated on the messy battlefield. Even the nobles led the supervising team to kill deserters, it was difficult to stop the herders who were regarded as cannon fodder from retreating.
No one wanted to fight against the undead monster, not to mention that the five hundred dead soldiers who were really gathered together were already killed or injured. As for the other warriors who were red-eyed, they could not raise the courage to fight against him, so they could only fight and retreat.
Looking at the Turkic army dispersing like a tide, Chen Guang took off his strength from his crotch and knelt down on the ground. He stepped on the corpse on the ground, picked up the broken military flag from the ground, and inserted it heavily on the ground. He won the battle, but nearly half of the tooth soldiers around him died.
He still remembers that Chen Erlang, who was holding the banner, was a dirty joke. He often said that after he got out of his army and returned to the field, he would be a trooper under his command. After making enough money, he would go to Huajie in Yancheng to marry a beautiful beard as his wife. After giving birth to a son, he would continue to serve the Shen family.
