The setting sun was like blood.
Seven thousand Black Flag Infantry soldiers were in formation in the wilderness.
Shieldbearers were in front, gunners were behind, and archers were hidden in the formation. This was a standard defensive formation of the Black Flag Army.
Li Xuanlie raised his halberd and stood on his horse, looking into the distance with his eagle eyes.
Under the northern horizon, dust and fog billowed, covering the sky and the sun.
A few breaths later, Turkic wolf flags rose from the ground.
The cavalry rolled forward like waves.
The fifty thousand Turkic cavalry charged forward with earth-shattering momentum.
The Black Flag Army soldiers tightened their armor and gripped their weapons tightly.
Facing an enemy ten times stronger than them, there was not a trace of fear in their eyes.
His eyes were burning with the fury of revenge.
They wanted to avenge the deaths of their people on the border, to use the blood of the Turks to wash away the humiliation of the Great Tang's lost territory.
The enemy cavalry was three hundred steps away, so they slowed down.
In the Turkic formation, Ashina Buzhen's expression was savage as he looked into the distance.
The King's Flag of Reliance entered his sight.
"Li Xuanlie, you really came. You dare to confront this king with just a few soldiers? You are truly arrogant.”
Ashina Buzhen laughed coldly, killing intent for revenge gradually ignited between his brows.
Three years ago, he stayed in the grassland and didn't follow Jie Li to the south, so he didn't experience that defeat.
Thus, he did not believe any of the rumors about the Third Prince of the Great Tang.
"Father, your son will personally chop off Li Xuanlie's head today to avenge you!”
Ashinabu's arrogance burned as he swung his mace down and shouted,""All of you, charge!”
Wuwuwu ~~
The Turkic horn sounded.
The fifty thousand Turkic cavalry picked up speed once more, sweeping up a cloud of dust as they charged forward.
5,000 infantry against 50,000 cavalry, the outcome seemed to be decided.
Li Xuanlie's expression was calm, like a mountain.
That condescending gaze was as if it wasn't 50,000 cavalrymen that were charging at him, but 50,000 ants.
Two hundred steps!
Raising his halberd, Li Xuanlie shouted,""Eagle Guard, release your arrows!"
As the order was passed down, the three thousand Eagle Guard archers drew their divine arm bows.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of the bowstring suddenly rang out as three thousand sharp arrows whistled out, like a net that covered the sky, attacking the enemy cavalry.
"Hmph, you're only two hundred steps away from shooting arrows.”
Ashina Buzhen, who was running wildly, had a mocking smile on his face.
The range of ordinary bows and arrows was a hundred paces. Now that the two armies were two hundred paces apart, the Tang army would shoot ahead of time. How could they hurt the Turks?
Pu, pu, pu, pu!
Arrows flew towards them, and in an instant, countless Turks were pinned to the ground.
Blood splattered everywhere, and screams exploded.
The arrows of the Tang army had killed the Turks from two hundred steps away!
"How is this possible? What kind of bow is this? It can shoot two hundred steps?”
The disdain on Ashina Buzhen's face instantly disappeared. He was so shocked that his face twisted.
Of course, he didn't know that this was the God's Arm Bow that Li Xuanlie had made during his western expedition. It was specially made to deal with Roman longbows.
This bow was the strongest bow since ancient times. Killing a target from two hundred steps away was a piece of cake.
This Divine Bow was only used by the Black Flag Army and had never been used in the Great Tang, so the Turks had never seen it before.
The Tang army's arrows rained down, and the Turks were pinned to the ground.
Ashina Buzhen woke up from his shock, his face ferocious as he shouted at the Turks to brace themselves and charge.
"Li Xuanlie, even if you have a strong bow and crossbow, you can forget about stopping me today!”
The cavalry charged through the rain of arrows.
After a few rounds of arrows, the Turks had already charged within fifty paces of them, and the collision was imminent.
"Yang Ye, listen up!" Li Xuanlie raised his halberd and shouted,"Use the scythe spear formation to resist the enemy!"”
Five Tiger General Yang Ye received the order and flew straight into the formation.
"Shieldbearers, break the formation!"
Yang Ye shouted, and the shieldbearers in the front row suddenly retreated.
The three thousand Golden Spear Soldiers revealed their ferocious faces.
These 3,000 spearmen each held a scythe spear and stood tall with a murderous aura.
Yang Ye was best at using his feet to defeat his enemies. This spear scythe spear technique was a unique combat technique that he had created.
The strength of the Persian cavalry was not inferior to the Turks, but they had been defeated by his scythe spear formation.
The enemy cavalry had reached thirty paces.
Ashina Buzhen was shocked when he saw the Tang army break the formation. His face was filled with arrogance and disdain.
"You actually gave up on the shield formation and wanted the spearmen to withstand the charge of my cavalry? Li Xuanlie, you're seeking death!”
Ashina Buzhen laughed wildly and shouted,""Great Turkic warriors, crush the Tang army!”
The Turks were like wild beasts, brandishing their sabers as they charged forward.
The three thousand Black Flag Spearmen were as unmoving as a mountain. They were not afraid at all when faced with the incoming Iron Stream.
A few breaths later, the cavalry arrived.
Yang Ye raised his spear and shouted,"Slash the cavalry at the top and the horse hooves at the bottom!"
The war drums sounded, and orders were given.
The moment the man and the horse collided, the scythe gunner suddenly changed his movement technique and squatted diagonally to avoid the enemy's charge.
Immediately after, the golden spears in their hands slashed at the enemy's hooves.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the neighing of warhorses sounded.
In an instant, the hooves of thousands of warhorses were cut off, and they fell to the ground with miserable cries.
The Tang gunners immediately rose and thrust their golden spears at the Turk cavalry that had lost their balance.
Screams sounded in the sky as thousands of Turks were stabbed under their horses.
" What…What combat technique is this?"
Looking at his own cavalry that had fallen, Ashina Buzhen's expression changed as if he had seen a ghost.
