Chapter 1048

In Xue yantuo camp, Yi man Khan holds a gold cup and sits on the Khan's seat with a golden dagger. Several young and beautiful women beside him serve him carefully.

He drank all the wine in the glass and looked up at Jie Li: "the news is really right? Tang Jun is really useless and continues to escape? They stay in that river valley?"

Jie Li's face was ferocious: "father Khan, this is the news from the wolf cavalry. There must be nothing wrong! Hum, they have been chased by our Xue yantuo army for more than ten days, and there are wolf cavalry attacking at any time. I'm afraid they are already tired and unable to follow. I'm afraid they can't run if they want to run, so they can only stop. They want to take advantage of geographical advantages and try to compete with our Xue yantuo army."

Yi man Khan looked up and laughed: "it's really funny, but thousands of people and horses, even if there is a favorable place? When my father leads the army to arrive tomorrow, he will crush it into powder! To vent my anger!"

"Father Khan, I'm afraid that the king of Qin is as timid as a mouse. I deliberately let the Tang army break up and drag the army to attack. He can take the opportunity to escape. If I can't catch the king of Qin and let him escape back to the Tang Dynasty, I'm really unwilling!"

Yi man Khan's eyes flickered and nodded slightly: "yes, most of them are! But even if he can't catch the king of Qin, those Tang troops must wipe them all out on the Mobei grassland. No one is allowed to walk away! Hum, the Tang Dynasty is powerful, but I Xue yantuo don't want to come and go! I have to teach them some profound lessons!"

He thought for a moment and then continued: "after the Tang army was annihilated, cut off all their heads and let the Tang envoys take them back! Hey, Ben Khan wants to see what the Tang Tian Khan has to say!"

Jie Li nodded again and again: "father Khan is wise!"

The father and son looked at each other and both looked up and laughed

The army led by Yi man Khan rushed to the valley where the Tang army was stationed the next day and camped outside the valley, surrounding the entrance of the whole valley.

After Xue yantuo's army rested for a day, the war drum sounded in the early morning of the third day.

Hundreds of thousands of Xue yantuo troops, with armor and blades, lined up in a neat queue, poured out of the camp. The dark crowd and the grassland outside the densely covered river valley have an amazing momentum and the atmosphere of killing is filled with. Even the eagles flying in the sky seem to be shocked by this momentum and dare not go close to the battlefield!

Naturally, the Tang army was well prepared. With the sound of war drums, they rushed out and blocked the narrow entrance of the river valley.

There are still two thousand jumping soldiers holding shields, at the forefront of the battle array. Behind them are one thousand swordsmen wearing bright armor and holding strange knives. Finally, two thousand bow and crossbow men press the array.

What is different from before is that nearly 100 arrows are piled up in front of each Bowman. The arrow made of refined steel shines with dazzling cold light in the early morning sun

If they were ordinary crossbow men in the Tang Dynasty, Li Qieyou would not equip them with so many arrow feathers at all.

The reason is very simple. No bowman can stretch his bow and string hundreds of times.

For ordinary bows and arrows in the Tang army, even one stone bows and arrows, the Sergeant can stretch the string twenty or thirty times in a row, and his arm almost loses its strength, so it is impossible to continue pulling the bowstring.

This is the limitation of human physiological structure. Even brave and reasonable generals can't be much stronger.

Muskets will eliminate bows and crossbows, which is one of the reasons.

However, in order to save effort and meet the need that his small body can stretch the bow and string, he designed a booster with the help of Yan Liben.

And the booster assists in winding, which naturally saves physical strength.

Moreover, in order to prevent the bow and crossbow hands from falling off, those auxiliary soldiers in the general also gathered.

Once the Bowman is unable to stretch the string, these auxiliary soldiers can top up.

Different from the bow, the best advantage of the crossbow is that it is in a state of power storage after the string is stretched. Therefore, Zhang Xian, who takes the most energy, can be handed over to others.

Two thousand bow and crossbow men and four or five hundred thousand feather arrows are Li's confidence in winning!

Xue yantuo people naturally knew that the powerful crossbow men of the Tang army had suffered a lot.

Therefore, the Yi man Khan also came up with many ways to restrain the bow and crossbow men of the Tang army.

In the hands of Yi man Khan, there are 167000 troops. Apart from the auxiliary soldiers and the sergeants guarding horses of the rear army, there are 100000 troops that can be put into combat, ten times as many as the Tang army.

Therefore, just the forward force, Yi man Khan sent 30000 troops at one time.

However, the entrance of the valley defended by the Tang army was only a hundred steps wide, and a single column of soldiers could row up to a thousand people. Therefore, even if Xue yantuo's former army had 30000 people, he could only send 5000 people into the battlefield in batches.

In the hands of these former soldiers, almost all the shields of Xue yantuo's army were concentrated. Its purpose is self-evident, that is, to defend the crossbows and arrows of the Tang army.

In order to prevent the former army from collapsing and attacking the Chinese army as before, the Yi man Khan sent out all the 10000 wolf riders in his hand to act as a "military judge" to supervise the military order.

Anyone who is timid and retreats and runs away will be killed without mercy!

In the eyes of Yi man Khan and Jie Lipeng, even if 30000 former soldiers die, only the Tang army can be killed, that is victory.

With the sound of Xue yantuo's war drums, 30000 former troops began to step forward, pressing like a tide towards the entrance of the river valley guarded by the Tang army.

Thirty thousand former troops, a team of five thousand people, with an interval of 100 meters, hundreds of wolves rode back and forth on horses with sharp blades. Once Xue yantuo's dismounted cavalry wanted to retreat, the blade in the wolf's rider's hand would mercilessly cut off these robes.

Under such harsh military orders, general Xue yantuo, who was regarded as the former army, knew that he had no choice but to fight the Tang army.

After all, according to Xue yantuo's military law, if they die in battle, their families can still get a pension. Although not much, it can also let the family rely on.

Once they escape and are killed by wolves, they can't help but have no pension, and they will fall in the name of cowards, so that their families can't lift their heads in the tribe.

Therefore, when Xue yantuo's former army came up, the momentum of no hesitation made Li forget you and the dandies on the watchtower car behind the Tang army aware of it.

"Ziyou, it's not good! Why do these wolf cubs like Xue yantuo beat wolf blood?" Fang Yiai couldn't help being nervous.

Chumo holds a telescope and looks at the wolves behind Xue yantuo for a long time. He replies, "look at the wolves behind Xue yantuo. I'm afraid the old man Yinan gave a death order and forbids Xue yantuo's soldiers to step back. Zhiniang thief, it's going to work hard! Ziyou, it seems that you've killed Tuo, and the Yinan hates you."

Li forgets sorrow and laughs bitterly. He knows Chumo is right.

Now it's too late to say anything. It depends on whether Tang Jun can withstand the pressure and resist the crazy attack of Xue yantuo's army.

Xue yantuo's war drums sounded faster and faster, and Xue yantuo's front army trotted slowly towards the battle array of the Tang army.

The war begins!

This time, the two thousand bow and crossbow men of the Tang army did not put Xue yantuo people close. When Xue yantuo's dismounted cavalry had just stepped into range, the two thousand bow and crossbow men began a three-stage firing in the voice of the captain's command.

The arrow rain fell from the sky and went straight to Xue yantuo's army hundreds of meters away. All the Xue yantuo cavalry immediately raised their shields in an attempt to resist the arrows.

However, the armor breaking arrows and arrows of the Tang army are made of refined steel and extremely sharp. In addition, the composite steel crossbow is pushed by the crossbow string up to four stones, which is even sharper.

When the arrow rain fell, it immediately penetrated the shield of Xue yantuo people, penetrated the shield, cut through the armor and pierced the human body like entering a no man's land
