August 25th, rain.

The heavy rain poured down, and the gentle Wei River gradually became turbulent.

The big and small ships on the river were even more shaking, and two small boats filled with civilians were even swallowed up by the surging waves, causing a riot.

On the south side of the Wei River, at some point, people were standing there.

Li Chengdao looked at the other side from afar. Yu Shishi stood behind him with an umbrella high. The prince of the Tang Dynasty had been standing in the rain for an entire hour.

Behind him, a group of scholars stood in the rain with a solemn expression, silently looking at the other side. The youngest was only five or six years old, and the older one was even fifty or sixty years old. The number of people was not tens or hundreds, but an astonishing thousands.

Among these people, there are not only students from the Imperial College, but also students from various academies, as well as self-study people who have passed this exam and received benefits. They all have all kinds of people, but they all have one thing in common, that is, these people are all talented literati in Chang'an.

At this time, neither young nor old, they didn't say much, but looked at the other side with anxiety. Only the sound of surging waves and the sound of heavy rain hitting the ground on the south side of the Wei River were left.

At this time, on a vast plain on the other side, the Turkic vanguard led by Zhishisili and the Right Martial Guard who had defeated and returned had been confronting each other for more than an hour.

The reason for confrontation was that after a long-distance attack, the Turks saw that there was an army of guards here, and they were a little confused, so they did not dare to act rashly, and they observed while resting and recuperating.

After a great war, the Tang army suddenly discovered that more than 3,000 Turks were all cavalry, and there were still remaining unretreated people behind them, which made them unable to let go.

The army that slaughtered Kang Sumi before was not because the Tang army was really stronger than others. The main reason was that Qin Qiong was waiting for it and then the ambush and raids were enough to achieve this effect. At this time, he met these more than 3,000 elite Turkic soldiers head-on. There were only a few hundred cavalry on his side, but three thousand on the other side, which was not of the same level at all.

And it is impossible to shoot arrows in heavy rain? Once the Turks rushed over? With the help of horsepower, ordinary infantry could not fight against the cavalry at all? They could only fight with human lives.

"Here you come."

Li Chengdao gently spit out two words.

The sound of horse hooves sounded? Zhishisili waved his hand, and three thousand Turkic cavalry began to accelerate.

In the heavy rain? After a long period of soaking, the bowstring has lost its elasticity? So there is no need to shoot in such a scene? The only thing that can kill people is the knife and spear in your hand.

"Long spear formation!"

Qin Qiong shouted loudly, the first row of shield soldiers squatted down, and the entire shield was inserted into the ground. The back row of gunmen leaned against the shield? Then the second row of gunmen? The third row of gunmen... The entire spear formation was like a hedgehog, full of spears. Whoever dared to rush in would definitely be stabbed to the opposite end.

It is time to test the courage of the Turks.

"Marine urethra!"

Zhi Shisili shouted loudly, and the Turkic cavalry rushing in the front row pulled off the black scarf above their heads? It was covered in the urethra, so that the war horses that had lost their vision could attack the spear formation with all their strength? Otherwise, the war horses would slow down or even stop when they saw these dense spear tips? They would not be able to rush to the formation, and the cavalry that had lost their speed and horsepower? What is the difference between them and infantry?

So when facing the spear formation? The most fierce and effective way is to trade the lives of people and horses? Ignore the dense spear tips and push them directly.

Once the gun array of the infantry was stormed, the next thing was simple. The cavalry could use the power of horses and condescendingly to kill the infantry, which could not be stopped. Unless several infantry joined hands, they would not be able to run away when facing the cavalry, and they would be slaughtered.

The key is to face the spear formation, the combat loss rate of the first wave of cavalry was very high, even reaching more than 80%. Even though he knew it was dead, who would dare to be the first to attack the densely packed gun formation?

"kill!"

"kill!"

...

In the disbelief of the people on the south bank of the Wei River, the tragic rush began. This was a scene that these scholars had never seen before. Life and death occurred in an instant, and life was destroyed, so cheap that it was as if it was a rainstorm falling in the sky at this time.

Countless war horses rushed into the spear formation and were nailed to death by the 5-meter-long spear. Some spears could stab the second one after piercing a horse. However, even if these war horses were stabbed to the opposite end, the powerful impact force still rushed into the spear formation. The horse corpse stopped after rushing into five or six meters and fell to the ground.

The cavalry on the horse were either stabbed directly by a spear, or jumped high from the horse, jumped into the spear formation, and began to kill people. These cavalry who were not stabbed to death were the most dangerous. In order to maintain a 5-meter-long spear, the spear soldiers held their hands at the tail of the gun and could not pull out their hands to kill these people. Once the spear was put down, the cavalry behind them could drive straight in.

So it is time to test the Tang army. Facing the lucky ones of the Turkic cavalry who were waving a scimitar and screaming, can they still keep the gun array intact?

After saying so much, things actually happened in an instant.

Either you die or I die, it depends on who retreats! If the Turks do not retreat, they will die on the spot. If the Tang army retreats, they will become a one-sided massacre and the entire defense line will collapse!

The time is to test the willpower of soldiers on both sides. This is the difference between elites and non-elites. Elites will use human lives to resist, rather than elites facing this kind of situation, often collapse at one touch and eventually become one-sided pursuit.

The front lines of the two teams were in conflict, and countless Turkic and horse corpses kept falling on the front lines, and countless infantry soldiers also died under the Turkic scimitars and the horse's hooves.

In just a quarter of an hour, hundreds or thousands of lives have disappeared.

"Zhi Wu's power of thinking! You can recognize me, Qin Qiong!"

"Haha, haha... The reputation of General Qin Qiong is well-known. Even if he is outside the border, he is looking forward to fighting with the general day and night. Today we meet on the battlefield. When I take off your head on your neck, I will drink and chat with General Qin!"

Two warriors collided together...

...

Outside the battlefield, the only thousands of people and the Tang army were catching up with all the time to board the ship. Screams, killing, and the collision of weapons continued to stimulate the facial features of these people. People kept crying, crying, crying, and scrambling to board the ship. Some of the original external things became worthless under the sound of the horse hooves of the Turks.

"Quick, fast, fast!"

There were constant miscellaneous items on the ship, money and food were thrown into the Wei River and disappeared along the turbulent river water to make room for later generations. Now only people can board the ship, and nothing else is allowed to board the ship.

At this time, it was impossible to tell whether civilians, officials or nobles. Everyone was stuffed onto the boat like cattle and sheep. People could not stand in the cabin, so they could only stand on the deck. The heavy rain fell on these people, and they were cold and bone-black. Everyone was trembling, full of despair and helplessness...

"Uncle Bao, I'll help you!"

Outside the battlefield, Cheng Yaojin shouted loudly, took the lead, waved his double hammers, rushed into the battle group with the Zuo Tun Guard, knocking over a leader of the Dezhishi team with one hammer, staring at Zhishi's soul power who was fighting with Qin Qiong, regardless of other battlefields, kill directly!

To the east, on the wide Weishui River surface, dozens of large ships were flowing downstream. On the first place, a loud trumpet was blowing. On the surface of the ship, countless war horses sniffed, kicking horse hooves, and the soldiers on the horse's back wiped the scimitar, showing a bloody smile!
