Chapter 176: Sunburn under Eight Hundred Miles (6)
The detachment was led by Qu Kechang.
He usually looks careless and heartless, but when it comes to fighting, he attacks with force. He wields a long-handled knife, which almost turns into a propeller above his head. Wearing a fish-scale iron armor, he leads the way, carrying
Two thousand cavalrymen rushed towards Basim's cavalry.
When he got close to the enemy, Qu Kechang roared loudly and swung the Miao knife in his hand forward, and at the same time it magically stretched three feet.
The blade of the cold light cut through a half-moon arc in the air, and the two heads flew diagonally into the air. Also flying in the air were the red spears they used to block the blade.
A hundred-forged steel knife cuts iron like mud, and cutting a red spear with a wooden body is like cutting tofu.
Qu Kechang's horse kept moving, and rushed in between the two corpses without heads, still being carried by their mounts, like fire and meteors.
Two streams of blood-red spring water, emitting a hot and fishy smell, sputtered twice behind him and sprayed into the air from the corpse's neck cavity.
Behind him were the retinues and elite veterans of the headquarters, who followed closely and rushed in. It was like the tip of a ship sailing on the river, riding the wind and waves, causing huge splashes.
Two thousand Basimu cavalrymen who were turning back the main team were charged head-on by Qu Kechang and were cut in half. Then four thousand cavalrymen caught each other and fought each other in a wide valley.
After a while, He Guan and his ambush detachment caught up. Brandishing his spear and leading four thousand cavalry, He Guan rushed down the hillside and quickly joined the battle.
Six thousand against two thousand, not only do they have an absolute advantage in terms of strength, but there is also a huge difference in tactical coordination. The only thing that Basimu cavalry relies on may be their ferociousness.
Their bravery and fearlessness extended the time it took for the Song army to annihilate the enemy.
When Alaquri knew that the two thousand cavalry sent by his headquarters were surrounded, he made a prompt decision and led three thousand cavalry to support.
Due to their lack of military discipline, the troops did not march according to the required position and were scattered everywhere. Alaquli was unable to summon his troops in a short time, and only summoned less than 2,000 troops, plus another 2,000 troops.
Nearby cavalry of Dari Bottom.
In this dispatch, Basmu's tribe had 5,000 cavalry, but their combat effectiveness far exceeded that of Dalidi's 8,000-strong cavalry.
Buyan Boliyao, who stayed behind, asked his generals and officers to spread the word, summoning his own troops and the rest of Basimu's troops to assemble them all into a battle formation, and then followed closely to support Alaquli.
Alakuli led four thousand cavalry, and the reinforcements were very fast. The distance was less than ten miles, and they quickly came over.
He Qifan, who was standing on the hillside observing the battle situation, screamed something bad in his heart.
He Guan and Qu Kechang used six thousand men to defeat Simu's two thousand. Although they exerted a devastating momentum, when they hit the back, the surviving Simu cavalry became more and more brave in the fight. They were really red-eyed.
In the end, there were three to four hundred Basimu cavalry, with their backs against a mountain valley, fighting to the death with the Xuanwu Banner Army. Due to terrain restrictions, only about a thousand troops could be deployed to attack them, and they were unable to fully utilize their strength advantage.
However, Alaquli and his cavalry reinforcements were getting closer and closer, and they were about to kill them. When the time came, Qubu would be attacked from both sides, and they would lose sight of one thing.
He Qifan immediately issued an order, "Reserve team prepare!"
Dong Xiulie grabbed him and said, "Old He, what do you want to do? We only have four thousand reserve troops, and the enemy's main force has not arrived yet. If we send them out now, what will we do then?"
Bidige
"We must first eat up the enemy's 2,000 pursuit detachments. I will lead the 2,000 reserve detachments and rush down to delay the enemy's reinforcements. When Lieutenant General, Lao Qu is finished, I will leave the battle immediately. When the time comes,
Let’s find a way.”
Li Jian stood up and said: "General He, you stay, I will lead the troops to rush down and hold back Alaquli's reinforcements."
"Hurry for a goal! When did your cavalry and archery skills surpass mine? Just stay on the hillside, pay attention to the battle, make arrangements at any time, and pay attention to help our troops get out of the war."
Li Jian raised his eyebrows and stopped arguing. Now is the time to race against time. There is no need to waste time arguing over this matter.
"Dong Qianhu, you immediately reorganize the army and respond to General He at any time!"
Dong Xiulie stared at He Qifan who was gathering the troops, pursed his lips tightly, and did not answer.
"Dong Qianhu! Did you hear my order?"
He Qifan waved his long sword and shouted: "My sons, kill me!" He took the lead and rushed towards the flank of Alaquli's reinforcements.
"Dong Qianhu!" Li Jian called again.
"Obey the order!" Dong Xiulie responded loudly, then turned around and shouted to the adjutant: "Gather, fight at any time!"
Seeing that he had entered the state, Li Jian said to the herald: "Inform Vice General He and Qu Qianhu that a large number of enemy reinforcements are about to arrive, and tell them to quickly eliminate the remaining enemy forces so that they can meet the enemy."
He Qifan led 2,000 cavalry to charge against Alaquli's 4,000 cavalry, and immediately noticed that his opponent was unusual.
He Qifan was better. Over the years, he had followed Mogusi and Zhao Si, fought against the Liao army, fought against Nian Bage, Mierqi and the Tatar people. He had encountered many fierce opponents.
Although the Basimu cavalry are fierce, they are not top-notch. Moreover, after the reorganization of the Xuanwu Banner Army, its organization, discipline and tactical training have completely improved by several levels.
So in He Qifan's eyes, the Basimu tribe was like this, so what if they dared to rob the Khitans? Back then, I followed Mogusi and even hunted down the Khitans.
Alahuli was horrified.
When fighting against this cavalry, he could personally feel the strength of his opponent.
The far ones draw their bows and arrows, and an arrow swishes to the ground, with astonishing accuracy; the near ones use their swords and guns in unison, and they move away in one blow without any stickiness. There is a tacit understanding of each other, whoever is in front wields a sword and raises a gun, and who is behind.
Pull the string and shoot the arrow in an orderly manner.
The two armies collided with each other, and Alaquri saw that his own side suffered a much greater loss and fell.
This is a powerful enemy! This army is the elite sent by the Song Dynasty to stop them? If they are elites, they can still understand, and there is still a chance - the opponent's cards at the bottom of the box are all out, and if they defeat them, there will be no obstacle for them.
.
Or maybe it's an ordinary army sent randomly? If it is an ordinary army, then the prospect of this land grabbing operation is a bit bad.
After hedging for a time, both sides turned their horses' heads, and after hedging again, everyone returned to the position where they first met.
At this time, a horn horn was blown on the hillside, and He Qifan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. He Guan and Qu Kechang finally wiped out the remaining enemies. His hanging heart finally dropped.
He commanded his headquarters to retreat to the main formation in an orderly manner.
Alakuli saw that his opponent was about to retreat and wanted to pursue him, but he saw more and more cavalry standing on the opposite hillside, but his main force had not yet caught up.
The two thousand cavalry he sent out to pursue were finished. The enemy could now use all their strength to deal with him.
Realizing this, Alaquli blocked his general's request for a battle, took his troops to a hillside, and confronted the Xuanwu Banner Army across the valley from a distance.
Two-quarters of an hour later, Buyan Boliyao arrived with the main force, and the two armies continued to confront each other until dusk, with neither side willing to take action.
In the end, Bath Simu and Dali Di couldn't bear it anymore and slowly backed away.
The Xuanwu Banner Army followed the trend and slowly retreated. The two sides were more than ten miles apart and broke away from the fighting. They set up camp and waited for a night's rest before fighting again tomorrow. This chapter has been completed!
