At this time, Xibu Gaza's army had surrounded them, and tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry under his command were outflanking them from both sides. The five young men sighed in their hearts. If they were given two more sticks of incense, Sa
Shan's 10,000 camel soldiers must be dead, but the opponent's reaction speed is too fast. If the melee continues, when he and others wipe out these 10,000 camel soldiers, he will die.
The flag was waved, and with the support of the Chuyue Shadow Cavalry Army, Tang Jian and others successfully broke out of Sashan's unfinished encirclement, and left with Xue Qingcheng, Fu Ruoshui and others.
Xin Ke, who was fighting in the west of Loulan City, received a signal from Xue Qingcheng and began to retreat. Among the five generals in Hetao, Xin Ke's bravery was known to the world. Even if he was trapped in a heavy siege, as long as he wanted to leave, no one in the world would
can stop him.
Using 20,000 heavy cavalry to clear the way, Xinke led his own soldiers to cut off the rear in person, and 100,000 cavalry successfully broke out from the encirclement of Sashan and the more than 200,000 allied troops from the Western Regions.
"Xinke kid, are you starting to run away if you can't beat him?" Han Qingjia Mo shouted angrily.
In the battle just now, the 50,000-strong army led by Han Qingjia Mo suffered a lot. He was a famous warrior in Sashan, and he was also well-known in the Central Continent. He was also arrogant and arrogant. He originally thought that he
This army of more than 200,000 people was completely capable of killing the opponent. Who would have thought that Xinke would come and leave as he pleased, without even taking himself into consideration. In his raging rage, he couldn't help but roar loudly.
Shandu laughed wildly: "The five generals of Hetao are not as good as your woman. At least she died fighting hard, but you only know how to run away in confusion!" These words were all said in Chinese. Where Sashan was
The mid-continent area has been influenced by Chinese culture since ancient times. Even during the Parthian Dynasty, both local dialect and Chinese language were valued equally.
Xin Ke had already led the charge a mile away, but when he heard Shandu's mocking voice, he pulled the reins, and the horse leapt into the air with a long neigh, and actually reversed its direction while running at high speed.
"Zhang Zhenxin, you and Liu Zhiya are waiting here!" Xinke shouted in a deep voice.
"Commander!" Zhang Zhenxin couldn't help but said.
"This is an order!" Xin Ke's eyes widened, his breathing was rapid, and his face turned purple. Zhang Zhenxin even heard the sound of his teeth clenching.
Shandu and others were melancholy when suddenly, a horse broke away from the formation of the Hetao army, reversed its direction and charged towards Sashan's army. One man, one horse and one axe, on the battlefield where the smoke was billowing, unexpectedly broke out.
No less powerful than an army of thousands.
The war horse rushed in front of Sa Shan's army in an instant. The man on the horse had a rough face, but there was no emotion in his eyes. His eyes were cold and deep, and there was a faint smell of blood. Because he was too fast, his forehead
The white strap tied on top was pulled straight.
The double-edged battle ax was raised and swung down like lightning, the horse turned around, and then walked away.
At this time, the war horse under Shandu let out a cry. The war horse fell to the ground and was actually split in half by Xin Ke's axe. And Shandu on the horse was struck by it at the moment the war horse fell.
separate.
One axe, just one axe, split the people and horses in Shandu, which was always known for its bravery in the Sashan Dynasty, in half. Such strength made people's legs weak. And the hundreds of thousands of Sashan's army were engraved with letters
Overwhelmed by the overwhelming momentum, no one even bent their bows and shot arrows.
When Xingke and the Hetao army met and the army fled, the stunned Huo Bimu finally came to his senses and said, "Shandu!"
He turned over and dismounted, but what he held in his arms was only Shandu's body that had been broken into two halves. The scarlet blood dyed Huo Bimu's upper body red, and the surrounding soldiers, including Hanqing Jiamo, were stunned, thinking of the letter.
The ax that was as fast as lightning and as fierce as thunder just now made everyone shudder.
Shandu is among the seven rising stars of Sashan's military. He is second to none in terms of military talent and personal strength, but he can't even block the opponent's moves, and he doesn't even have a chance to make a move.
No one can stop his axe! This was the same thought of everyone at the time. The most powerful general in China is indeed worthy of his reputation.
The encounter under Loulan City ended with Sa Shan's small defeat.
Hetao lost nearly 7,000 cavalry, while Sashan's loss was more than 30,000, of which only less than 3,000 of the 10,000 camel soldiers led by Baidan Lun were left. Even Baidan Lun himself died among thousands of troops.
In addition, Sashan also hooked up with Shandu, the most outstanding general among the rising stars in the military.
Seeing the black smoke rising from the battalion commander, Xibu Jiasha's face was as sinking as water. All the generals under his command were holding their breath and concentrating. They lowered their heads and looked straight at their toes, as if they could see a flower from them.
Flowers come.
Sibughasha took a long breath and opened his mouth: "This battle..."
All the generals under his command, including Huo Bimu, knelt down on one knee with a bang, bowed their heads and said: "My subordinates are not fighting well, please ask the commander to punish them."
Sibu Jiasha smiled. Although the anger in his heart was still there, looking at the anxious and uneasy expressions of everyone, he still couldn't help laughing and said: "This war crime is not yours, and you cannot shoulder this responsibility. If you want to be held accountable, then I will
The commander must be the culprit. The commander did not know the enemy well, and made mistakes in adding fuel tactics and dividing his troops during the battle. As a result, he had superior strength, but fell into passivity, and ultimately lost his troops and generals."
Speaking of this, a look of sadness appeared on Xibu Jiasha's face. Among the seven rising stars of the Sashan Army, the two he valued most were Huo Bimu and Shandu. Huo Bimu was calm, humble, and prudent, and even
With the demeanor of a king, he is the most ideal successor to the Sashan Dynasty in the future. And Shandu is brave and strategist, and he is a talented general. But I didn't expect that after Kedola and Hebijiali, Shandu also fell here.
Above Loulan Oasis.
It is not a pity to die in one round, and the situation is unclear and the overall situation cannot be understood, resulting in heavy losses for the 10,000 camel soldiers. But it is really a pity for Shandu, this is the most outstanding general in the new generation of Sashan. Sibu Jiasha thought in his heart
road.
"The Hetao cavalry happened suddenly, and our scouts didn't find their traces in time, so we dealt with it in an extremely embarrassed manner." Dumoor said loudly.
Qida Mengdu was furious, and the scouts of Sashan's army were temporarily under his control. Dumol was clearly scolding himself. He was about to go out to make a distinction, but when he thought that he should indeed be responsible for this, and Xibu Jiasha's mood was obvious
No, it was best not to get into trouble with him, so he had to swallow his head and lower his head, but in his heart he was cursing this unscrupulous general.
Sibu Jiasha frowned and glanced at Qida Mengdu inadvertently. Qida Mengdu suddenly felt that his vest was covered with cold sweat.
"Qida Mengdu should bear some responsibility for this matter." Sibu Jiasha said slowly. Dumoor's face was happy, but Qida Mengdu's buried head was dripping with cold sweat.
"However, the main reason is that we did not expect the Loop to arrive so quickly, and the opponent's military skills have reached a considerable level. We were caught off guard, and it is normal for us to suffer some losses."
Han Qingjiamo stepped out and said: "Commander, the performance of the Western Region Allied Forces today is really poor. Not to mention that they did not try their best when attacking the city, and they kept thinking about losing strength. Even in the melee behind, they also
Cheating and cheating. If not for this, our combined total strength is as high as 250,000, and the Qinglong Legion in Hetao would never have thought of escaping so easily."
Xibu Jiasha looked at Huo Bimu, who pulled out a wry smile. Hanqing Jiamo was clearly shirking responsibility. Although the twelve countries in the Western Regions have surrendered to Sashan, it is normal for them to have selfish motives. On the battlefield
To preserve their strength, this was within Sashan's expectation. But at least when fighting Xinke, they worked hard and did not hold Sashan back.
Xibujiasha understood what Huobimu meant, but Hanqingjiamo was General Sashan after all, so he wanted to give him some face, so he nodded pretendingly and said: "What the general said is not unreasonable. However, now is not the time to investigate the case of the Western Region Ten
When the two countries take responsibility, everyone, what do you think of the arrival of the Hetao army?"
Dida opened his mouth and said: "The opponent's combat effectiveness is very strong, whether it is individual combat ability or cooperative combat ability, they are quite powerful. Over the years, even Rouran's light cavalry and Obsburg's heavy cavalry have not been able to
It can make us feel so much pressure.”
Rouran's light cavalry is good at offense but not good at defense. It has plenty of maneuverability but insufficient defense. It is best at surprise attacks. The heavy cavalry and heavy infantry of Obsburg are abnormal in defense, but lack mobility. Because of this
, Sashan often adopts different coping methods when confronting him.
However, the combat effectiveness of the Hetao cavalry exceeded their imagination. They seemed to combine the strengths of both, and worked together with a tacit understanding, making it impossible for the Sashan soldiers to start.
Xibu Jiasha nodded and glanced at Huobimu. Huobimu quickly stepped forward and said: "Commander, my subordinates are worried that the cavalry from Hetao has appeared in large numbers, which means that Hetao has completely defeated Tieying and Qiumen.
And Rouran has no strength to compete with them. If nothing happens, the Hetao army will enter the Sea of Death from the northern grasslands in five days at most."
"Tell me your views and our next military strategy. What you just said is all nonsense, and everyone here knows it." Sibu Gaza said displeased.
A few drops of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Huo Bimu's forehead, and all the generals around him looked at him sympathetically.
"Our original plan was to pull out the thorn in Loulan City before the Hetao army went south, so that the Hetao would not be able to retreat if it wanted to advance. Without the support of the Loulan Three Kingdoms here, the Hetao would not be fully prepared and would not dare to easily enter the city.
into the sea of death. But the speed of their cavalry appeared too fast, beyond our imagination." Hobimu paused for a moment, looked at Sibu Jiasha's face with no strange expression, and then said: "So
, we have only two choices. The first is to forcibly pull out Loulan City before the Hetao reinforcements arrive. The second is to withdraw the troops. Then use all our strength to operate the cities of Getis and Thebes to resist the front of the Hetao."
Sashan has a vast territory, even larger than Rouran. However, the country is divided into five regions, namely the city of Babylon where the royal capital is located, the city of Gedis in the northeast, the city of Thebes in the northwest, and Urun in the southeast.
The city of Sukhara and the city of Sykara to the southwest.
The four surrounding cities actually represent the four expansion directions of Sashan.
Nanahada, a rising star in the military, was stationed in Urens City, mainly to conquer the Maurya Dynasty in the south of the Qatar Desert. Since the Maurya Dynasty was weak, Sashan had always been the main attack force, so the standing force was only 50,000.
The city of Sykara was originally controlled by Tipu, but Tipu died in battle, and Achilles placed his brother Demodiga here. The Kingdom of Constantine to the west had a good relationship with Sashan, and did not dare to
He took the initiative to provoke Sa Shan, so the troops here were only about 50,000.
The leading general of Getes City is Dumoer. This is an important base for Sashan's expansion to the east and north, so the total military strength is about 150,000.
The city of Thebes has the strongest military strength. To the north is Rouran, to the northwest is the Obsburg Empire, and to the west is the Kingdom of Constantine. For many years, Sashan veteran Al Tietong has led 200,000 soldiers to guard this place.
, after all, both Rouran and the Obsburg Empire were extremely powerful, and Sashan did not dare to take it lightly. However, considering that Rouran was at war with Obsburg, Acharius specifically ordered Acharius to go north to the Sea of Death this time.
Baidanlun, Le Tietong's deputy general, led an army of 100,000 troops to follow Sibu Gaza. However, Baidanlun was very unlucky and lost his life just after entering the battle.
The total strength of the royal capital, Babylon, is about 150,000. However, they are all the most elite imperial guards. This time, Xibuqasha specially brought 50,000 soldiers from here to go on an expedition. Together with the garrison of Getis City, the total strength is as high as 300,000.
Sibu Gaza frowned and said, "What do you think our army should choose?"
"Take the initiative to attack!" Dida said first.
"Pull out Lou Lan!" Qida Mengdu raised his eyebrows and said.
"Don't be scared by them!" Du Moer also said loudly.
Although Huo Bimu did not speak, judging from his expression, he was also on the side of Dida and others.
Sibu Jiasha turned around, looked at Hanqing Jiamo who said nothing, smiled and asked: "General, are you here?"
Han Qing Jia Mo looked around and saw that several young generals and Du Moer had eager faces, but he was lifeless. He didn't want to express his opinion at first, but Xi Bu Jia Sha had already asked by name, so he had no choice but to refuse to answer.
.
"Commander, the general believes that we should avoid his sharp edge and not confront the opponent head-on for the time being." Han Qingjia Mo took a breath and summoned up his courage to say.
Dumoer said with a smile: "General, are you frightened by today's battle?" His eyes were full of ridicule. One hundred and fifty thousand Sashan elites, plus one hundred thousand Western Region coalition troops, were actually beheaded by the opponent.
Capturing the flag and escaping smoothly in the end, such a record really made him despise him. However, Hobimu was a prince after all, and Shandu had already died on the battlefield, so Dumoer could only laugh at Hanqing Jiamo.
A look of anger appeared on Hanqingjiamo's face, his eyebrows raised, and he shouted angrily: "Dumoer, we are discussing military plans now! Are you afraid? I, Hanqingjiamo, have been in the army for decades and dedicated everything to
Master Sani, what is there to be afraid of? It’s just that the combat effectiveness of the Hetao army is indeed fierce, and the commanding skills of the opposing generals are quite superb. I, Qingjia Mo, are not afraid of embarrassment. To be honest, with the same strength, I am no match for the Qinglong Army.
.But that doesn’t mean I’m afraid of him!”
Dumoor was about to retort, but Sibu Jiasha waved his hand and quickly took back the words that had been on the tip of his tongue.
"Hanqing Jiamo is also my general Sashan, together with Huo Bimu and Shandu, who have an absolute advantage in military strength, but they are unable to leave a legion of 100,000 cavalry on the other side, and they even have me killed.
General Fang, this shows that the opponent is indeed quite powerful. The five generals in the Hetao War are famous in China. Don't forget how much suffering we suffered when Bian Zhongxing was stationed at Jiayuguan." Xibu Jiasha said slowly.
Everyone was speechless. Sa Shan attacked Jiayuguan several times on a large scale, but every time he was hit with a bloody blow. Xin Ke can be as famous as Bian Zhongxing, so he is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Especially today, he attacked thousands of troops with an axe.
The horse had split Shandu before, which was even more frightening. Hanqingjiamo was also a veteran of Sashan, so it was really not easy for him to say such embarrassing words.
Han Qingjia Mo snorted coldly and said unconvinced: "Dumoer, what you are facing today are only the Snow Lion and Feng Wu legions in Hetao. The Feng Wu legion does not have much lethality at all. As for the Snow Lion legion,
, the military quality of their generals and the combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers cannot be compared with the Blue Dragon Legion."
Dumoer stopped talking, because what Han Qingjia Mo said was true. Not to mention the Qinglong Army, but also the Longxiang Army in Hetao, he might not be able to hold it. Otherwise, that guy Baidanlun would not have died in the battle.
On the battlefield.
Huo Bimu saw with his own eyes how Xin Ke killed Shandu and then walked away in front of hundreds of thousands of troops. He deeply understood the fierce combat power of the Blue Dragon Army and the wisdom and courage of the generals. If possible, he did not want to
He would go head-to-head with his opponent on the battlefield. However, he also had to consider the issue of military morale.
"We absolutely cannot withdraw our troops like this, otherwise the morale of the soldiers will be greatly affected." Huo Bimu said in a deep voice.
Han Qingjia Mo sneered and said: "Your Highness, we only have 300,000 troops in our hands. There are at least 150,000 troops in Loulan City, plus the 250,000 cavalry in Hetao. Even if we join forces with the Western Region Allied Forces, our total strength will be less than 150,000.
It's just similar to the other party. Do you think we can still take Loulan under such circumstances?"
Now that he has made his attitude clear, he might as well go out of his way to express his meaning clearly, lest everyone think that he is greedy for life and afraid of death.
Huo Bimu smiled slightly and said: "General, no matter whether we can capture it or not, we must fight, even if we retreat immediately after a battle." He respected these military seniors very much, and he also understood Hanqingjiamo's
idea, but he did not agree with his view. He had to consider the factors of military morale and the resulting political impact.
Sibu Gaza said slowly: "The strength of the troops is not a problem. His Majesty has ordered the organization of 200,000 soldiers as soon as possible. The first batch of 100,000 soldiers has been assembled and will be able to go to the front line soon."
When all the generals heard this, they all immediately attacked. Only Huo Bimu noticed that Xibu Jiasha's brows inadvertently jumped.
"Everyone, please go back and check the battle damage of the army first, and then think about how we should attack." Sibughasha said.
Everyone slowly exited his tent, and Hobimu slowly stood up and walked at the back. Sure enough, as soon as everyone left the tent, Sibu Jiasha asked him to stay.
