Chapter 1735: Attack Me, Am I the Weakest?

More than 10,000 horses were running, and the ground was shaking a few miles away, and the sound was also heard.

There were five villages in front of the Xi tribe, each with 3,000 people. There were no other people here, all of them were warriors.

Less than ten miles behind was the Luan River, and there were villages on both sides of the Luan River. The villages in front were still inhabited by warriors, and the ordinary Xi people behind lived there.

They needed to use the water of the Luan River to irrigate the fields, which were on both sides of the fields. They only came here when they were harvested after planting.

The Luan River was deep and shallow. You could wade in the shallow places, and riding a horse was no problem.

The Xi tribe used to be a semi-nomadic people. They had a place to live, and they stayed in a relatively stable residence in winter.

They also grew food, usually wheat and sorghum, and grazed by the way.

Now they grow a lot of rice, and raise livestock and poultry at home. Li Dafang is in Chang'an. The two sides traded, and the Xi people had sufficient tools.

Otherwise, how could the village be built so well? There are also paddy fields and cultivated land, which require short curved plows.

The house they built was a brick house, with thatch on top. The tiles had not been baked yet, only the bricks were baked.

There was an open-pit coal mine in Chengde. Li Yi didn't want to tell him, but he felt that the Xi people needed it. He couldn't transport coal from the nearby place, right?

There was one nearby. The Tianbing Army next to it was located in Datong City, Shanxi Province, Tianzhen County.

Is there coal in Datong, Shanxi?

There was a coal mine where the Tianbing Army was located. It was more than 300 miles to transport it to the Xi people. With this transportation time, wouldn't it be better to transport some other things?

Under Li Yi's guidance, the Xi people found the open-pit coal mine. No matter how big it was, it was enough for them.

At this moment, the people living by the river took their things and ran into the cellar. They were worried about their houses.

If the Turks rushed over and set the house on fire, they would have to rebuild the beams. The walls were made of bricks, so they were not afraid of burning.

Let the livestock and poultry go. When the time comes, run away. It's a good fortune if they can run away.

‘Ding-dang-dang, ding-dang-dang…’ “Enemy attack, the Turks are coming, get up quickly, the Turks are coming~~!”

The guards on the front of the village beat the gong and shouted, and the gongs of the other four villages followed.

The Turks didn’t seem to want to attack the village at all. Their team rushed past the village and ran towards the river, and then slightly changed direction to bypass the village by the river.

The suspension bridges of the five villages were lowered and opened almost at the same time. Dozens or hundreds of people rushed out, each of them looked very embarrassed, and some didn’t even have a bow.

They shouted desperately and wanted to fight to protect their families behind the river.

They had just rushed out a few miles when the Turks and Tubo divided their troops, and the 5,000-man team became one 3,000 and the other 2,000.

The two teams rushed towards the nearest village, and people were still coming out of the village one after another, without a formation.

The Turks began to put their arrows on their heads with excitement on their faces.

Then…then the people who rushed out turned their horses and ran back. They had been fighting just now, but now they were running faster.

The Turks thought the Xi people were afraid of death, and they were shouting.

As they were charging, the sound of additional horse hooves joined in.

A neat array of cavalry rushed out of the four gates of the five villages, each fully armed.

The cavalry that ran out quickly increased their horse speed, and the Xi warriors from the two targeted villages ran around the village.

The cavalry from the other three villages rushed to the rear, with arrows also on the bow, ready to draw the bow at any time.

Except for the number of stones, their bows and arrows were no different. They were Tang Dynasty standard equipment, with leather armor on their bodies and leather helmets on their heads.

The Turks were quite smart. When they saw the situation and the opponent's equipment, they knew they had fallen into the trap.

"Charge over, cross the river, and kill behind." The leader commanded and the order was conveyed.

They looked for gaps in the horse array and did not give up.

The queues of both sides staggered at a certain distance, shooting arrows one after another, and people fell off their horses from time to time.

"Kill!" Shi Yue thought the Xi tribe would have a hard time fighting, and it looked like the Turks were going to be finished, so he shouldn't wait any longer.

The 480-man team rushed towards the 3,000-man Turkic team, where the Turkic supreme commander was.

'Ka-ka-ka' the Tianbing army lowered the mask in front of their helmets, opened their guns, loaded them, pressed the percussion caps in, and prepared to fire at any time.

The three dogs did not move, and stayed where they were. Their mission was not to bite the horse's hooves, and they would be trampled to death if they rushed in.

The Turkic team, which was circling back and forth to the back of the Luan River, did not hear the additional horse's hooves at all, as the battlefield was too chaotic.

They traveled overnight, and the Xi tribe slept first, so they had time to gradually adapt after being called up.

The morale of both sides was not on the same line at all, but the Turks were tenacious.

If they wanted to cross the river, someone had to stop the people in the five villages by the river. The horses slowed down after entering the water and became fixed targets.

They were looking for an opportunity to see if they could distance themselves.

As the 3,000-man team ran, Shi Yue's men gradually approached.

"There are fewer people over there, charge over there." The commander of 3,000 people weighed the battlefield situation and saw the team with fewer people.

He wanted to disrupt the enemy's formation by attacking this team, so the team adjusted slightly and rushed towards the Tianbing Army.

"Stop, two rows of formation." Shi Yue gave an order when he saw you dare to hit me?

Four hundred and eighty people formed two rows in a short time, one in front, and the ones behind raised their guns in the gap.

About 300 meters.

"First shot!" Shi Yue shouted.

'Pah pah pah~' The first row of guns fired, and they quickly reloaded.

"Second shot!" Shi Yue shouted.

'Pah pah pah! ' The soldiers in the second row pulled the trigger and reloaded.

The Turkic troops who were charging at that moment, the people in front of them shouted and fell off their horses.

Some horses were hit, some raised their hooves in pain, some charged to the side, and some knelt directly on their front hooves, in different postures.

About 200 meters.

"One shot!"

'Pah, pah, pah! '

"Two shots!"

'Pah...'

"Retreat, reload." Shi Yue stopped shooting, the horse ran too fast and he lost his mobility.

Everyone immediately urged the horses to run, and as soon as the horses accelerated, they all used their own methods to reload.

Put the gun under the armpit to stuff the bullet, hold the reins and reload at the same time, bite the bullet with the mouth to reload...

The speed of the Turkic troops charging over there slowed down.

"The Tang army." "It's the Tang army." "Musketeer." "Is this a musketeer?"

The Turkic soldiers were a little panicked. Not many people died just now, but they felt very powerless.

It's so far away, and the people around him were hit.

How can they fight? The Tang soldiers had four horses per person, so their own team would be worn out, unable to catch up, fight, or run away.

The Turkic commander was even more confused, what to do next?

"Assemble, assemble!" The commander finally gave the order.

"First shot!"

'Pah, pah, pah! '

Shi Yue would not wait for the Turks to think clearly before attacking, now the range is enough.

"Go over there." The Turkic commander did not want to chase, and the team changed direction again.

"Second shot!"

'Pah, pah, pah! '

The Turks ran, and Shi Yue continued to shout.

The Xi team was still chasing and turning, and another Turkic team of 2,000 people was surrounded and beaten back and forth by several teams.

Some were chasing from behind, some were running diagonally in front, and those on both sides were riding back and forth.

The Xi war horses were all around, and there was no gap in the distance.

This team could only urge the horses to rush in one direction to get rid of the fate of being surrounded.
