One hundred and twentieth chapters the tactics of military power
It wasn't until the officers and soldiers of the Xia army shouted in unison that the Turkic royal court had been destroyed, the informants from all sides around the battlefield suddenly realized.
"Seal of the Turkic King's Banner? With this said, we can understand why the Xia army's previous tactics were so violent and unexpected! It turned out to be to attract the main force of the Turks and provide cover for the soldiers and horses that raided the Turkic royal court."
"Send someone back quickly and report the outcome of the war to the mountain master!"
"Suddenly, with an attack thousands of miles away, this battle can be recorded in the records of our military... It is a pity that the commander of the Xia army has become a little impatient. Otherwise, if it were delayed for a few days, the news of the fall of the Turkic royal court would come, and the Turkic army would have to fight without a fight.
Damn it, why attack with such force?"
"The losses of the Xia Army must be considerable. After this battle, there will no longer be any power to prevent the Yun Kingdom from taking over the Central Plains. Return to the city of Guanqi as soon as possible, and please make plans in advance!"
"The Yun Kingdom has gained momentum. We, the Taoists, must obey nature and respond to people, and we must not go against it!"
…
But just when the various forces had already determined the outcome, the men sent by the Yin Yang family were standing in the distance, still closely watching the battle in the distance.
"Previously, the sect master observed the stars at night and saw that although the Xia Kingdom Emperor's star was dim, it was definitely not a sign of a subjugated country! The sect master has now entered the realm of land gods and can understand the world with his own body, so he will never go wrong. This war will
, there should be variables!”
At this time, on the gully not far from the battlefield, a group of guards from the Yun Kingdom who were sticking to the pole surrounded Guo Xie, still silently waiting for the final victory or defeat on the battlefield.
One of the guards at Guo Jie's side could not help but show a bit of joy at this moment, and said excitedly:
"Sir, I am afraid that the commander of the Xia army has made a mistake this time! Now the Xia army is empty of troops. Only this northern army can compete with our Dayun cavalry."
"In this battle, the Xia Army forced themselves into a head-to-head confrontation with hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops. Even if the Xia Army is victorious in the future, it will surely lose all its elites and will no longer be able to compete with our army. The day when I, Dayun, will dominate the world is not far away!"
To the Yun State, the Turks were a foreign race, and the Xia State was also the enemy that prevented Dayun from taking control of the Central Plains and unifying the world. No matter who won a clean victory, the Yun State would not be happy.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
Only as it is now, with the Xia and Turk armies fighting and losing both sides, is the result that the Yun Kingdom hopes to see the most!
After hearing what his men said, Guo Xie's face also showed joy, he bowed respectfully in the direction of Yun Guo with both hands, and said loudly:
"Just from looking at this, you can see that your Majesty is truly destined by destiny!"
A group of guards at the sticking pole also bowed their hands in the direction of Yun Guo and said in unison:
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Dayun!"
But at this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves was heard from the side, interrupting everyone's congratulations.
Guo Xie looked around following the sound and saw several guards who had been placed on guard nearby. At this moment, their horses were galloping towards them. When they came to Guo Xie, they hurriedly reined in their horses and said in a hurry:
"Sir, there is a Xia cavalry force of about 10,000 people in the north. Under the banner of Yanjiao Camp in the north, they are heading towards the Turkic rear army!"
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Guo Xie, who was still smiling at first, suddenly stiffened and exclaimed:
"Northern Xia Army, Yanjiao Camp?"
"yes!"
The guard at the sticky pole on the side also showed surprise and doubt on his face and said:
"Sir, according to the intelligence we have received before, isn't this Yanjiao Camp one of the two partial divisions of the Xia Army? Could it be that after the Turkic Royal Court was overthrown, they took advantage of the situation and came here again?"
When Guo Xie heard this, he frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Strange, the Turkic King Tingyu Dujun Mountain is more than a thousand miles away from here. Even if the Yanjiao camp can come, there will definitely be Turks who escape and report the news."
Even if the troops of the Yanjiao camp were very fast, after the Turkic royal court was destroyed, they still needed to rest and regroup before they could attack again. This would inevitably waste a little time.
As long as someone in the Turkic Royal Court can escape and report the news, he will definitely be one step ahead of Xia Jun's Yanjiao Camp.
Having said this, Guo Xie looked at the Turkic army in the distance and said in confusion:
"But at this time, the Turkic army does not seem to have received the news in advance..."
The guard at the sticky pole on the side suddenly exclaimed:
"Sir, look!"
After everyone heard this, they quickly looked in the direction he pointed.
At the end of the line of sight, Xia Army cavalry in black armor were seen rolling in from the horizon like a black wave. Wherever they were, the grasslands were dyed black.
The sound of horse hooves suddenly stamped on the ground, causing the earth to vibrate, rolling up smoke and dust, and covering the sky and the sun.
The awe-inspiring momentum shot straight into the sky, billowing smoke, and the murderous aura shook the heaven and earth, causing the heaven and earth to move suddenly, and a majestic vision condensed here.
There is a strange appearance of a large army, which looks like a horse with a white body and a black tail, one horn, tiger teeth and claws, and a sound like the sound of a drum.
In mythology, that strange beast that can eat tigers and leopards and command armies, refute!
The soldiers and horses of the Yanjiao Camp of the Xia Army charged forward. The leader, a majestic general wearing bright light armor, raised his long spear in his hand, with a look of murderous intent on his face, and shouted violently:
"kill!"
The morale of the Xia Army officers and soldiers behind them soared, and they also shouted:
"kill!"
The sound of violent shouting was deafening, and murderous intent soared into the sky.
At this time, the Turkic army, which had already stabilized its military morale under the control of the commander-in-chief Shubi, suddenly trembled in its heart when it heard the cry of killing from behind.
As the saying goes, if there are more than 10,000 people, they will cover the sky and the sun.
The Turkic soldiers did not have a God's perspective. Looking back suddenly, they saw the Xia army, whose numbers were astonishing and whose formation was endless, suddenly came out from behind, causing chaos.
"Xia people, Xia people are coming from behind!"
"Why did Xia Jun appear in the north?"
"Wang Ting, Wang Ting was really destroyed! These Xia people must have come from Wang Ting!"
On the battlefield, real or fake Turkic language was shouted out, and the panic in the words made all the Turkic soldiers feel cold in their hearts.
Among the Turkic army, Geshu Bi opened his eyes fiercely and roared:
"This is the Xia people's trick! Let the Bayan tribe and the Beishi tribe's tiger division meet the enemy and expose the Xia people's trick!"
There are only five tiger divisions in Geshubi's hands. Three of them are on the front line, leading the Leopard Division and Eagle Division to meet the enemy. The Tiger Divisions of the Badan Division and the Beshu Division are Geshubi's last remaining force. Originally, they were
Thinking of using it as a trump card when the war situation is most critical.
However, he also knew that the morale of the army was in turmoil at this time. If he did not cut through the mess quickly, he was afraid that the army of hundreds of thousands would completely collapse!
This Tiger Division is, after all, the personal bodyguard of the Turkic Khan. His fighting spirit, morale, and loyalty are not the ordinary Leopard Division of the Turks, and can be compared to the Eagle Division.
Even though the people in the army were panicked and morale was low at this time, as soon as they received the military order from the commander-in-chief Shubi, the two tiger divisions did not hesitate at all and immediately went out to meet the enemy.
Forty thousand Turkic elites rushed out boldly, hoping to block the Xia army's Yanjiao camp troops from behind, thus once again stabilizing the morale of the troops.
But after all, they were rushing to meet the enemy, and the timing was a bit late. The Turkic Tiger Division had not yet mentioned the speed of its war horses at this time, and the army had not yet been able to unite.
The Yanjiao Battalion on the opposite side was the elite of the Xia Army's elite troops in the northern border. They charged out brazenly. Even the most elite Tiger Division was unable to block the Xia Army's advancing offensive.
Especially the general who was rushing forward from the Yanjiao camp was waving a long sword in his hand, and his whole body was full of blood and murderous intent. This military general with a peak cultivation level of the ninth level seemed to have descended from a murderous star and rushed into the Turkic army.
In the formation, they rush left and right, just like mowing grass, and there is no enemy at all.
More than 10,000 elite Yanjiao battalions of the Xia army faced off against 40,000 Turkic tiger divisions.
Under the leadership of the commander of the Yanjiao camp, the two armies struggled with each other for only a quarter of an hour before the Turkic battle formation was directly broken through.
The Xia Army's cavalry broke through the Hu Division's blockade and went straight to the rear of the Turkic army.
The general of the Yanjiao Camp was full of murderous intent and led the soldiers around him to take the lead. Beside him, a flag with the words "General of the Yanjiao Camp" written on it was flying in the wind in the hands of the soldiers, making a hunting sound.
Upon seeing this flag, the Xia army in the distance suddenly burst into cheers, boosting their morale even more.
The Turkic soldiers were even more panicked and shouted in panic:
"It's the killer star of Yanjiao camp, Yun Kaige is here!"
"Where is my Turkic warrior! Which warrior can stop him!"
Obviously, Yun Kaige, the commander-in-chief of the Yanjiao camp and an unrivaled military general in the Zongheng army, also has a very resounding reputation among the Turks.
The Turkic army, which was originally shaken in military morale, finally lost its morale after seeing Yun Kaige's military flag.
The clan leaders of each tribe were already afraid of fighting because of the loss of their private soldiers, the Eagle Division. At this time, seeing that "the situation was over", without saying a word, and ignoring the military order of the handsome man Shubi to charge, he immediately shouted to his private soldiers:
"withdraw!"
The outermost Eagle Divisions immediately abandoned their defense lines and quickly evacuated to both sides, directly exposing the troops around them to the Xia army's front.
The departure of these eagle divisions was like the beginning of a domino. The eagle divisions, who were originally private soldiers of various tribes and had little loyalty to the Turkic royal court, fled one after another in order to preserve the strength of their tribes.
The entire Turkic army was completely defeated. Even the twelve Leopard Divisions, at this time, had many soldiers and horses. Their morale was shattered, and the troops were dragged along. They abandoned their defense lines and fled into the distance.
The Turkic army of more than 300,000 people was previously magnificent and invincible. But once it was defeated, it would collapse thousands of miles and be irreversible.
No matter how handsome Shubi scolded and shouted, five tiger divisions and one hundred thousand elites fought to the death, it was impossible to prevent the collapse of the Turkic army.
In the middle of the Xia army, looking at the Turkic soldiers and horses escaping in all directions, the commander Wu Zhengping couldn't stand upright and suddenly fell down. Then he looked up to the sky and laughed, saying:
"Hahaha, the victory is determined!"
All the soldiers suddenly looked happy and congratulated in unison:
"Congratulations, marshal!"
The gloomy look on Wu Zhengping's face was wiped away, and a bit of pride appeared on his face, and he shouted loudly:
"I knew that Ju Jian was useless, but he still relied on his qualifications to get the task of raiding the Turkic Royal Court. As expected, after leading the troops into the grassland, there was no news at all for such a long time...
...If I hadn’t made these arrangements in advance, allowing Yun Kaige to escape into the grassland from the beginning, detour through Zamyn-Uud, and wait for an opportunity to attack the Turkic rear army, this battle would not have been so easy!"
If others heard this, they would be surprised.
The so-called Turkic King's Flag Seal letter sent by the army before was actually fake. The news that the Yanjiao Camp raided Yudujun Mountain and destroyed the Turkic King's Court was also fake!
Among the two partial divisions of the Xia army, the Yanjiao camp was not actually heading for the Turkic royal court at all, but was a special arrangement made by Wu Zhengping just in case.
At this time, we can understand why Wu Zhengping, who is obviously good at military tactics, went out of his way this time and decided to fight to the death with the Turkic army!
After sitting on the ground and laughing several times, Wu Zhengping stood up again and shouted again:
"Instruct the battalions on the front line to ignore the rest of the troops and horses, surround them on all sides, and eat all the five Turkic Tiger Divisions!"
Without the five tiger divisions, even if the Turkic royal court was not attacked by the Xia army in the end, Yudu Khan would not have the strength to subdue the Turkic tribes and suppress the grasslands.
After this battle, the Turks either fell into a fight among various tribes to compete for the new Turkic Khan. Or the Yudu Khan retreated into the Yudu Army Mountain and barely stabilized the Turkic royal court by relying on his former power.
But no matter what, it is certain that in the next few years, or more than ten years, the Turks will be absolutely unable to go south and harass the northern border of Xia Kingdom!
At this time, Guo Xie, who was not far away from the battlefield, had an unusually solemn expression.
The guards at Sticky Post beside him did not dare to speak at this time and could only stare at the battlefield in the distance.
After a moment of silence, Guo Xie sighed softly, turned his horse's head, and said in a deep voice:
"Report to your majesty quickly. After the battle of Zawmunde, the Xia army returned with a great victory. All the Turkic elites were exhausted and they are no longer able to go south... With the elites from the northern border of the Xia Kingdom able to be mobilized, the situation in the southwest may change again."
Even if only half of the nearly 200,000 elite Xia troops in the north were mobilized, there would still be 100,000 soldiers and horses. They would still be proud soldiers who returned with a great victory and high morale.
Coupled with the more than 200,000 troops and horses from Xia State's Jin, Henan, Xunyang, Yuzhang, and Rong counties, and the more than 200,000 newly trained soldiers and horses, the number of troops that Xia State can mobilize now is close to 600,000.
.
On the border of Yun State, from north to south, the defense line stretches for thousands of miles in the four counties of Xiangzhou, Anshun, Jiangzhou and Shaoyang.
But apart from the small number of local county soldiers, there are only 300,000 troops in total. Even though they are all elites, they are not afraid of the Xia army's attack. But with such a long battle line, if the Xia army attacks everywhere, the Yun army will only be afraid
You will also be exhausted.
If you are not careful, it may be like the previous war in Jiangyang County. The domestic troops are empty, and the Xia army will take advantage of it, threatening the Yun Kingdom's home territory!
Thinking of this, Guo Xie once again glanced at the battlefield in the distance where the victory or defeat had been decided and most of the elite Turkic Tiger Division had been besieged. His face became even more gloomy and he said in a deep voice:
"In addition, a message was sent to Jinling City, requesting the two envoys from the Yi Guard to figure out the reasons for this war as soon as possible, and send them back to the capital together to present them to His Majesty!"
When the guards on the side heard this, they immediately responded and then turned around and left with Guo Xie...
