Eight hundred and thirtieth chapter lure the enemy deep
He Suihuan gave the order, and He Suiqing could not say anything else. From his understanding, if he continued to care about it, he would really anger his brother, and no matter he won or lost, he would not get any good results.
After General Miyako received the military order, he ordered the 20,000 Dadi cavalrymen who had been prepared for the battle towers. Then he lowered the drawbridge and the army jumped out of the city.
Xiaobai, who was patrolling in the sky, saw the actions of the Beidi Army with his birds, and immediately spread the news to the ears of the two pioneer generals, Tai Shijin and Leng Zixuan.
Knowing that the Beidi Army was going to fight out of the city was really beyond their expectations.
I originally thought that this so-called vanguard would arrive at Muji City one step ahead of time, and then find a favorable terrain to set up camp as a warning for the arrival of the army. I never expected that there would actually be a battle to fight.
This excited the two regiment leaders. As soon as the two of them joined forces, they prepared to attack from both sides to severely injure Di Qi.
Leng Zixuan, commander of the Sixth Feilong Regiment, took the lead in retreating. On the contrary, Tai Shijin, commander of the Third Snow Leopard Regiment, continued to move forward with five thousand light cavalry. However, judging from the speed, it was no longer as fast as before.
He ran as if there was no one around.
The changes in the Jizhou Army were quickly captured by the Beidi scouts. The news was sent to General Miyako's ears, causing him to burst into laughter. "Did one of them escape? It seems that the Jizhou Army is not good at all."
.Come on, warriors, keep chasing. It doesn’t matter if one of them escapes, we just need to destroy the other.”
The 20,000 Diqi immediately surged in confidence and morale, and rushed forward at an accelerated pace.
Knowing that Di Qi had indeed begun to speed up, Tai Shijin's eyes flashed with excitement, and he immediately ordered the army to stop and get into a fighting position.
In a cavalry battle, leg strength is very important. Tai Shijin stopped moving forward for the sake of the horse. Otherwise, he would just gallop with all his strength. When the time comes to fight, his physical strength will be exhausted, which will affect the performance of his combat power.
Tai Shijin took the Snow Leopard 5,000 cavalry and set up a formation. They waited for more than half an hour. Finally, smoke and dust could be seen in the distance. Needless to say, Beidi's 20,000 cavalry came to kill them.
"Everyone listens to the order and turns around after a while, but don't use all your strength. You want to give the enemy a feeling that they can catch up with us at any time, but they can't succeed..."
Tai Shijin's voice resounded across the battlefield and reached the ears of the soldiers. Although some were curious about this military order, long-term training had made them ready to execute the order.
Not far away, the Beidi cavalry were getting closer and closer, and when the distance between the two sides was less than five miles, Taishi Zhi gave an order, and the five thousand cavalry turned their horses and began to retreat slowly to the rear.
"Hahaha, the Jizhou army is timid! Come on, follow me and kill them. The opportunity to make a meritorious deed has arrived!"
The performance of the Jizhou Army fell in Miyako's eyes and made him very excited. There was originally going to be a fight, but he didn't expect it to be so easy. As for whether the Jizhou Army was cheating, Miyako did not consider it.
. A scout had already said that the main force of the Jizhou Army was still a hundred miles away, so how could they rush up so quickly? By the time the main force of the Jizhou Army got the news and arrived, he had already returned to the city with the victorious army.
Miyako was full of confidence, and the 20,000 cavalry he led were also encouraged, especially when he saw that the vanguard army was running faster and faster, as if he wanted to keep a certain distance from them, and how much other cavalry could do it.
They ran as fast as they could, each one riding a war horse with great joy, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to kill the enemy with one step at night and would not be able to achieve military exploits.
This time, in order to deal with the Jizhou Army's act of annihilation, the Beidi dignitaries set a very high reward. For every ordinary Jizhou Army killed, they could get two taels of silver. If they killed a corps commander or a commander or even a
Centurion, the reward will be even higher.
The dignitaries want to use this method to motivate their warriors and let them show greater enthusiasm for fighting. Even if there are military achievements to be made, no one is taking the lead and scrambling to be the first.
In this way, the Beidi army, which was originally invisible to the neat formation, became chaotic. From a distance, it looked loose.
If such a formation is pursued, there will naturally be no counterattack. But the key point is, is the Jizhou Army really defeated now?
Tai Shijin, who was taking the lead in running ahead, led the soldiers of the Snow Leopard Regiment according to the previously agreed upon plan and ran forward unhurriedly, always maintaining a distance of two or three miles from the Beidi cavalry. If any Beidi cavalry ran away,
The cavalry of the Snow Leopard Regiment would turn around and shoot quickly, hitting each of the Beidi cavalrymen at their feet.
"Quick, close the distance and kill them all." From time to time, I saw that my own cavalry were being shot off their horses. Although there were not many of them, only a few dozen cavalry in total, it was really disgusting.
Miyako shouted angrily.
It's just that the horses of the Shanshan Guard Cavalry were carefully selected, and they had some time to rest before, so the horse's leg strength was always at its peak. On the contrary, it was the Beidi Cavalry who came from afar, and they ran away.
After a while, coupled with the inferior quality of the war horses, the distance between the two armies remained at two or three miles, making it impossible for them to catch up.
Just when the Beidi cavalry charged happily, no one noticed that right behind them, Leng Zixuan came behind with five thousand cavalry from the Sixth Feilong Regiment.
This is the strategy that Leng Zixuan and Tai Shijin discussed. One is to lure the enemy, and the other is to appear from a distance, forming a flanking attack from two sides.
Leng Zixuan led the army to withdraw first, but he did not run too far, so he entered the dense forest on both sides of the official road and hid. First, he waited for Tai Shijin to pass by with three regiments, and then saw two more
Wanbeidi's cavalry rushed past in front of them.
When no cavalry could be seen, Leng Zixuan led his troops to suddenly charge out. While running quickly, he continued to use the power of the horns and long bows to release bows and arrows, killing those who were running at the end.
Beidi Cavalry.
Compared with the foot power of war horses, the Feilong regiment is naturally faster, which can be seen from their name. When the speed is fast enough, the number of bows and arrows is enough, and a large area of the lagging Beidi cavalry is killed,
It was only then that the news about the Jizhou cavalry was reported to General Miyako's ears.
"What? The Jizhou Cavalry appeared behind us. So what are we waiting for? Hurry up and organize people to fight back." After hearing the news, Miyako quickly stopped his horse. After all, he is also a general who leads troops and knows the art of war.
Of course, he knew what would happen if he was surrounded by cavalry behind him.
Miyako was only thinking about the way back being cut off, but he forgot that his cavalry was currently in the midst of a crazy attack, and what kind of chaos would result if it suddenly stopped.
The general gave the order, and immediately the messengers began to shout loudly, telling the running army of 20,000 cavalry to stop and turn around. When the military order was given, chaos would inevitably appear on the battlefield.
.
A war horse is no better than his legs. It can stop when told to stop, but it always takes some time. In addition, when an order is conveyed, it does not reach everyone's ears at once. Some people always hear it first, and others hear it later.
You know, it is inevitable that some people are still running and others want to stop.
The direct consequence of this is that war horses will inevitably collide with each other. With the horses speed so fast, once they are hit, the two thousand kilograms of force cannot be stopped by human beings?
All...bang bang bang...
Not surprisingly, the army in Beidi was in chaos, with self-collision and self-trampling happening.
If that's the case, it's nothing more than the loss of some cavalry, but as long as they are given time, they can quickly regain order and form new combat effectiveness. But the question is, will the Shanshan Guard give them time to adjust?
Tai Shijin, who had been paying attention to the pursuers behind him, knew that the opportunity had come when he saw that the Beidi cavalry was about to stop. At that moment, he shouted, "Everyone listen to the order, slow down and turn around.
charge!"
The cavalrymen of the Snow Leopard Regiment, who had received military orders long ago and were waiting for this moment, first tried their best to rein in their horses, and then, as in normal training, they began to turn their heads in an orderly manner from back to front, followed by waves.
He began to accelerate and recoiled behind him.
Finally, all the Beidi cavalry came to a stop, but they still crowded together again, and orders to disperse and charge back were heard from everywhere.
The Beidi cavalry, who were just common people in the tribe before and were born as herders, have not received professional training. If they fought separately, they might all be able to show the strength of a warrior, but everyone is crowded together.
Even if you have superb equestrian skills, you still can't perform them well.
At this time, the cavalry of the Snow Leopard Regiment had already fought back. Within the distance of the horned long bow, one after another overhead arrows were shot out of thin air, falling into the Beidi army, causing bursts of wailing.
The sound of shouting.
"Arrows rush into the formation, prepare - charge!" Tai Shijin took the lead, leading a hundred cavalrymen with bright silver spears in hand and began to rush towards the side of the Beidi cavalry army.
The sharp bright silver spear was like a golden thread, cutting through the bodies of the Beidi cavalry, leaving a long line of blood on them.
When cavalry stay in place and cannot use their speed, they are no different from infantry. Seriously speaking, they are not as good as infantry.
At least the infantry can still rely on their flexible bodies to dodge, but the cavalry, who are on horseback and unable to move, can only hide under the horse, and can only be slaughtered.
If just a wave of cavalry passed by, many people would successfully dodge and save their lives. But the problem is that the five thousand snow leopard cavalry, with a hundred people in a team, transformed into a formation of fifty arrows.
Bobo took turns walking past the Beidi cavalry camp, and the enemy cavalry on the outermost edge faced wave after wave of deadly attacks.
