The battle was one-sided.
On one hand, Liu Yu led the Imperial Cavalry to chase after the Tiele Cavalry, while on the other hand, the slave soldiers were also fighting.
In the eyes of the people of the Tiele Tribe, these servant armies were useless. They were just a large group of servant armies made up of tribesmen who had been coerced by the Tang army.
These tribesmen were usually bullied and humiliated, and now it was even more impossible for them to have any bloodlust or fighting spirit to speak of.
However, the truth was that these tribesmen were very crazy and ferocious.
"Go to hell!"
A servant soldier grabbed the neck of the horse of the cavalryman of the Iron Strangle Tribe and pushed it to the ground. Then, he rushed up and tore the cavalryman's neck with his teeth.
Such scenes were common on the battlefield.
Some people used their nails, some used their teeth, and some even used their bodies to block the horses.
It was not that Li Yu did not issue weapons before the war, but for these people, they had not seen iron for many years, so they were used to using their nails and teeth.
This way of fighting did not cause any disadvantage. Instead, it was too barbaric and frightened the cavalrymen of the Tiele Tribe.
"These bastards, why didn't I see them so ruthless when the court sent people to collect taxes?”
Zhi Zhili frowned.
"Leader, what should we do next? " The two great wars of the Iron Spear Tribe have caused countless casualties. Now, these cavalrymen outside are all the men in our tribe. We can't waste them for nothing!”
Seeing that the situation was getting worse, a soldier mustered up his courage and asked.
"That's easy. Withdraw all the cavalrymen and close the gate of the encampment immediately. Our Tiele Division also has high walls.”
Zhi Zili calmly gave the order.
The current situation was not optimistic, but Shi Zhili was still calm and indifferent. This was partly because he was indifferent to the lives of his subordinates, but more because he was confident.
"With the leader, we will definitely win!”
The soldier placed his hand on his heart, bowed, and went to convey the order.
Then, the cavalrymen outside immediately retreated to the interior of the encampment.
Although Li Yu's Imperial Cavalry were extremely powerful, they were still few in number. They were unable to stop the enemy cavalry and could only allow them to return to their encampment.
"Your Highness, they ran into the encampment. What should we do?”
Baiqi looked at the high walls of the encampment and asked worriedly.
"That's exactly what I want."
Li Yu smiled, turned around and ordered the cavalrymen behind him,""Line up in a long line and break down the city gate!”
"Yes, sir!"
The cavalrymen responded in unison, then formed a slender line and came to the city gate.
When they arrived at the city gates, not only were the Turks stunned, but even Baiqi was stunned. He stared at the Imperial Cavalry in bewilderment, curious as to how they were going to break through the gates.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Imperial Cavalry at the front of the group rushed to a position a hundred meters away from the city gate. They then sped up and charged towards the city gate as quickly as possible.
The short distance of 100 meters was quickly covered. The cavalry urged their horses to turn around when they reached the city gate, allowing the horses to ram into the city gate from the side.
Boom!
The city gate let out a loud bang, and a dent appeared on the ground. The Imperial Cavalry that had knocked on the gate steadied their horses and moved to the back of the line.
The rest of the cavalry also rammed into the city gate like the first.
" There's such a thing?!"
Baiqi was stunned. He had followed Li Yu for ten years, but he had never known that the Imperial Cavalry could be used in such a manner.
However, it made sense.
The Imperial Cavalry, be it men or horses, were all clad in armor. Moreover, the warhorses were extremely strong. With the protection of the armor, it was not a problem for them to ram through the city gates.
Following that, the imperial cavalrymen lined up in long lines and took turns to ram the city gate. The city gate was smashed into pieces of wood, and the dent became larger and larger.
"Not good, hurry up and shoot arrows. Don't let them break through the city gate!”
Zhi Zhi Li could no longer remain calm as he roared and gave the order.
All the Turkic cavalry dismounted, took out their bows and arrows, and ran to the walls, firing at the Imperial Cavalry that had just broken through the gates.
The Turks were skilled archers, and a large number of arrows shot into the sky, covering the city gate.
Without a doubt, the long line of Imperial Cavalry had all been hit.
But there was a problem with the Turks 'arrows. They did not have advanced iron-smelting techniques, and the arrowheads were generally made of bone.
When these bone arrows landed on the armor of the Guards Cavalry, they were completely useless.
If he wanted to use iron arrows, he could only kidnap craftsmen from the Central Plains and accumulate them bit by bit.
"Change to iron arrows!"
Zhi Zhili ordered again.
"Chief, the iron arrows are the lifeblood of our tribe. We robbed so many Tang craftsmen to forge a few boxes…"
The messenger said awkwardly.
To a tribe, iron arrows were even more important than warhorses. With iron arrows, they could run amok on the Turkic steppe.
The people of other tribes who were wearing leather armor or not even wearing leather armor were like fragile eggs in front of the iron arrows. They would die as long as they were hit.
This was why iron arrows were the lifeblood of the Irontail Tribe.
"Cut the crap. We're going to be killed by the Tang army and those mad dogs.!”
Zhi Zhili kicked the messenger to the ground and shouted,"Bring me the iron arrows!"
After receiving the order from the leader, the others immediately went to the warehouse of the Iron Strangle Division and carried out boxes of iron arrows, distributing them to the archers on the high wall.
"Get ready."
Zhi Zhi Li raised his right hand and ordered loudly.
At this moment, he had returned to his calm and collected state. In his opinion, as long as he shot these iron arrows, those Imperial Cavalry would all be killed.
Everyone on the high wall had bows and arrows in their hands, ready to shoot at any time.
"Fire!"
Zhi Zhili put down his hand.
In the next second, tens of thousands of arrows were fired from the high wall, and a large number of arrows were shot towards the city gate.
The iron arrow was indeed an iron arrow. When it landed on the stone, it directly shattered it.
Even the sturdy city gate was deeply pierced by the iron arrow.
Zhi Zhili and his clansmen really wanted to see the Imperial Cavalry being shot to death.
However,
The heavens did not grant one's wish.
Ding ding dang dang--
The iron arrows clanged against the cavalrymen's bodies, and sparks flew from the friction between the arrows and the armor. However, at most, the arrows left a mark on the armor before bouncing off.
Bang!
Bang!
The iron cavalry were "showered" by the rain of arrows as they continued to ram against the city gates.
As the depression at the city gate grew bigger and bigger, Zhi Zhili and his clansmen's hearts grew colder and colder.
Not only were the imperial cavalrymen ramming against the city gate, but the slave warriors and servant soldiers had also gathered again. They gathered in front of the high wall and drooled like rabid dogs as they looked at the encampment of the Irontail Tribe.
"It's over."
He held her tightly.
