Liu Ziqiu's troops were divided into three groups and charged all the way from Jinshan Mountain. Wen Hao led the troops in the middle group and rushed directly to Ashina's camp. Liu Ziqiu and Yan Li led an army each to outflank them from the left and right sides, using the correct method.
It is the tactic of separate advance and combined attack that he has always emphasized. The most important part of the tactic of separate advance and combined attack is the military horse in the middle. This military horse must be able to contain the opponent's counterattack and even tear apart the opponent's defense line in order to provide mobile troops on both wings.
Find a fighter opportunity. Although Liu Ziqiu is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he knows very well how much he has, so he gives the most important task to Wen Hao, not because he is greedy for life and afraid of death.
It is a full twenty miles from Jinshan Mountain to Dishenshan Mountain. For the galloping horses, this distance is only a matter of seconds. But the galloping horses are so powerful that the whole earth trembles. The grassland is very windy, so it is not suitable.
They built tall watchtowers, but Ashina Qilifa’s tribe grew up on horseback. When the earth began to tremble, they understood what was happening. The horn of "Woo-Woo" echoed over the camp, and they stayed behind.
More than 2,000 warriors in the camp were assembled and came forward with strange screams.
Opposite them was a dark cavalry team, which looked like it numbered 30,000. In fact, Liu Ziqiu only gave Wen Hao 5,000 cavalry, but also gave him 25,000 unrided horses. Nomadic tribes
The warriors have superb riding skills. Hiding in stirrups is the most basic skill, which can effectively avoid the arrows fired by the opponent. The tribesmen who are quick to tell are unable to tell whether those war horses have riders or not.
What the nomadic cavalry is best at is the tactic of riding and shooting, but the opponent is coming towards their camp. Their wives, children, and children don't matter in the camp, but their family members are the most important. If the enemy breaks through the camp, they will be killed immediately.
Lifa's family members were killed or captured. Even if they escaped, they had no choice but to commit suicide to apologize. Therefore, knowing that the opponent was ten times stronger than themselves, the warriors who stayed behind in the camp still rushed forward regardless of their own safety, waving their hands
The scimitar and even the bow and arrow were not taken off.
The two armies collided fiercely, and the sound of killing was everywhere. In terms of riding and shooting, both sides were evenly matched. But when it came to close combat, Wen Hao's men were obviously better. Whether it was equipment or training, they all occupied a clear advantage.
The advantage. And Wen Hao and the others rushed all the way from Jinshan, and the impact of the entire team had reached its peak. However, the two thousand guards in the camp were rushed into the army and could not achieve the necessary speed at all. The two armies collided, and the camp guards
Soon they were submerged in the torrent of Wen Hao's army. People kept falling off their horses and were trampled to pulp in the blink of an eye. Wen Hao waved his saber and rushed all the way into the camp of the Qilifa tribe.
The Turkic camp is different from the Hexi Army camp. There are no fences, deer villages and other obstacles around it. Because as a nomadic tribe, their biggest advantage is the cavalry. There are no fences, which makes it easier for them to attack and retreat. Of course, the herdsmen
It will also be more convenient for horses to herd sheep.
When the warning horn sounded over the camp, the old, weak, women and children in the camp also walked out of the tent. Seeing a large group of people in the dark south of the camp, they knew that the camp could not be defended, and Astemudoli immediately made a retreat
The decision. As expected of a nation that grew up on horseback, even children aged seven or eight can freely control a pony, while younger children are taken care of by the elderly and women. There are more than 70,000 people in the country.
The camp was very lively with people shouting and neighing.
Holding a soft bow, Mu Duoli took more than 20 guards and a large group of Qi Lifa's wives, concubines, and young children, and retreated to the north of the camp. As for the cattle, sheep, and property in the camp, now
They can only throw them away. Ordinary herdsmen may not be able to survive this winter without these cattle and sheep, but she is the wife of Qi Lifa and the daughter of Ashdemulin. There will be people to help them along the way, so it will not be a problem.
starving.
Just after leaving the camp, they saw another group of cavalry coming towards them, blocking their way. It turned out that Liu Ziqiu attacked from the left and found no signs of an enemy ambush along the way. But he did not dare to take it lightly and ordered Ji Rentai to lead the way.
The army continued to outflank Mu Duoli from the left, and he himself led two thousand elite cavalry to attack the rear of Qilifa camp with all his strength. Liu Ziqiu's original intention was not to block Mu Duoli's retreat, but just wanted to explore the area behind Qilifa camp.
Is there an ambush in the rear? If there is an ambush, with his martial arts skills and the best horse riding, he should be able to successfully get rid of it and reorganize the attack formation. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the north of the camp, he saw people pouring out of the camp.
Many old, weak, women and children.
Seeing this group of old, weak, women and children, Liu Ziqiu felt relieved. There must be no ambush outside the camp, otherwise these people would have no reason to abandon the camp and escape. After living with the nomadic tribes for so long, Liu Ziqiu already knew that cattle and sheep were as important to the herdsmen as
The food of the Han people is more important than the food of the Han people, because these cattle and sheep also have the function of "seeds". If they abandon the camp and flee, they will definitely not be able to take these cattle and sheep with them. Without cattle and sheep, there will be no food, and there will be no food.
There will be no calves or lambs, and the next year they will be faced with the situation of having no sheep to graze, which will affect their livelihood in the coming year. Therefore, as long as there is a glimmer of hope to hold the camp, they will not escape.
Knowing the reality of Qilifa's camp, Liu Ziqiu felt relieved, raised his hand, and restrained the galloping team. These cavalrymen under him were well-trained and truly followed the orders and prohibitions. They stopped almost instantly, and their movements
It was so neat that it was suffocating. If there were Turkic warriors on the opposite side, Liu Ziqiu would not hesitate to order his troops to rush over. But he could see clearly that these people were old, weak, women and children of the tribe, but he could not make a move. You know, in the huge cavalry
Under the impact of the attack, these people had almost no chance of survival. Liu Ziqiu did not want to become an executioner with his hands stained with the blood of women and children.
One person may be able to easily rein in a galloping horse, but the opponent, with two thousand men, can rein in the horse at the same time and still maintain a complete formation. This team's riding skills and execution ability are evident, Mu Duoli.
I couldn't help but feel nervous, knowing that I had met a powerful enemy. The living environment on the grassland is harsh, and most people's lifespan is not long. Maybe a serious illness or an accident will lead to nothing. Therefore, people on the grassland often have no idea about life and death.
See it more lightly.
Mudoli is not afraid of death. On the contrary, death may be a relief for her, which is better than becoming someone else's slave. But she has a pair of young children, who are being held on horseback by the guards at the moment. If she dies,
The two children will have no one to take care of them, and their fate can be imagined. For the sake of her children, she must live well. Mu Duoli saw at a glance that the man riding a tall horse in the opponent's formation seemed to be a core figure.
To shoot a man first, shoot a horse, and to capture a thief first capture the king. As the daughter of the leader of the largest tribe of the Ast tribe, Mu Duoli understood this truth very well. She clenched her silver teeth, raised the soft bow in her hand, and shot three arrows straight at the man
Mu Duoli didn't know that the person she was targeting was Liu Ziqiu, the supreme commander of the Hexi Army.
Liu Ziqiu was turning to speak to Daleng on the side. He did not understand Turkic language, so he could only persuade the old, weak, women and children on the other side to surrender through Daleng, the setter. Suddenly, he heard the sound of "swish, swish" through the air, and three
A feather arrow had already arrived in front of him. In a hurry, Liu Ziqiu roared, and an iron bridge was lying flat on the horse. There was a burst of exclamation from all around. When he looked again, Liu Ziqiu had sat up straight again, holding his left and right hands.
A feather arrow, with one still in his mouth. Mu Duoli's three consecutive arrows that he was sure to win have been dodged by him. This kind of flexible skill is really unheard of.
"Protect the lord!" Daleng shouted loudly, and the Hexi Army soldiers who reacted quickly formed a human wall in front of Liu Ziqiu.
"It's disrespectful to come and not return!" Liu Ziqiu held the three feather arrows in his right hand, waved them hard, and threw the three arrows like electricity. Hearing several screams from the opposite formation, the three Turkic guards turned over
He fell off his horse, with an arrow stuck in his throat, and blood flowed out gurglingly, and he saw that he could no longer live.
Liu Ziqiu did not see Mu Duoli's shot. He only thought that the three arrows just now were caused by several guards around Mu Duoli. Therefore, the three arrows were thrown, but the lives of the three guards were taken. When he saw the three arrows in the opposite formation,
There was a faint look of fear on the faces of the old, weak, women and children. Liu Ziqiu waved his hands proudly and said, "Da Leng, let them surrender."
Daleng had seen Liu Ziqiu's power a long time ago, and was not surprised. He said loudly: "Listen, my lord is kind-hearted. As long as you dismount and surrender, you will not die! If you are willing to sincerely submit to our Sui Dynasty, my lord will be okay.
Give you pasture..."
Before he finished speaking, Mu Duoli on the opposite side had already said loudly: "The Sui Dynasty and our Turks are friendly countries, why do you invade our borders and kill my people for no reason!"
After listening to Daleng's translation, Liu Ziqiu sneered and said: "You Turks invaded our border first and killed our border residents. Liu just wants to tell you that the crimes you committed will be punished ten times!"
In fact, many Turkic nobles have learned Chinese, and Mu Duoli is no exception. Although Liu Ziqiu said it to Daleng and wanted Daleng to translate it into Turkic, Mu Duoli heard it clearly and knew about it.
It was hard to be kind, so I couldn't help but secretly take out five more feather arrows from the arrow pot and clasp them in the palm of my hand.
Over there, Daleng was translating Liu Ziqiu's words in a gibbering voice, and everyone's eyes were focused on Daleng.
The soft bow in Mu Duo's hand suddenly raised, and five arrows were fired straight at Liu Ziqiu. Four of them were shot at Liu Ziqiu's upper, lower, left, and right, and one arrow was aimed at Liu Ziqiu's seated horse. Five arrows were fired in succession, and this
Hand archery is so amazing that even Zhang Liang, who is good at bows and arrows, can't do it.
Although Liu Ziqiu didn't know Mu Duoli's identity, he knew that this woman was the leader of this group of old and weak women and children. When Daleng spoke, he had been staring at Mu Duoli. It was not to guard against Mu Duoli, but to
I could detect Mu Duoli's thoughts from her eyes, but I didn't expect that she would fire five arrows in one hand!
