In the first battle of the Zhenbei Army, they easily defeated the enemy army ten times their size.
This made every soldier's face bloom with joy.
They waved the riding whips in their hands and continued to hunt down the slow-running enemies, either using bows and arrows to kill them, or using crossbows to shoot headshots at close range, or they simply rushed over and shot the enemies into the sky.
.
It was very easy to fight.
In fact, in a cavalry battle, when attacking the enemy's formation, the spear in hand can only be used to attack once.
That is when the first confrontation occurs, use the strongest force to directly attack the enemy formation. A spear can skewer two or three enemies, but at this time, you have to discard the spear because you have no time to pull it out.
.
At this time, you need to draw out your saber and slash at the enemy. When slashing, you must be careful not to slash from top to bottom, otherwise the enemy's bones and armor will still get stuck on the blade. The blade must be facing outwards and slashed from bottom to top.
This will avoid jamming the weapon.
Of course, the Zhenbei Army knows these combat skills, and they often train them on weekdays, so they pay great attention to them.
But this time, it's too useless to be unable to hold off the enemy.
Even if there were hundreds of thousands of pigs, it would take a while for the Zhenbei Army to chop them down.
However, Loulan's army of more than 100,000 people on the opposite side collapsed at the first touch and fled in all directions, unable to resist.
The officers and soldiers of the Zhenbei Army laughed and chased after them. They were in the same direction as the enemy's defeat, which was the enemy's camp.
Because they ran so fast, they even arrived at the enemy camp several miles away faster than many Loulan troops.
"Commander, let's rush directly to the enemy's camp and capture the enemy commander alive."
Peng Cheng's face was full of excitement, waving his saber, ready to rush into the enemy's camp at any time.
In his opinion, this is a great opportunity to make achievements.
But he also knew that on the battlefield, he had to listen to the commander in chief. If he dared not to listen, the senior brother would have to kill him first.
Zhao Long looked towards the military camp opposite.
At this time, the military camp was not as chaotic as they expected, but in order. Juma was placed outside the camp. The gaps in the middle of the stockade wall and fence were densely packed with spears, and on the top of the stockade wall were bows and arrows.
The soldiers are ready.
That was a hundred thousand troops from Hami Kingdom guarding the camp.
In the wilderness, 20,000 Zhenbei troops can disperse 200,000 enemy troops, but if the enemy has a camp as a base, it will be impossible to fight.
The cavalry is not good at attacking cities, not to mention that the opponent is five times larger than our own, and even if they can rush into the camp, the countless tents and materials in the camp will greatly affect our speed.
At this time, once they rush in, the whole army will probably be wiped out by the Zhenbei Army.
Therefore, Zhao Long decisively ordered a retreat.
Although Peng Cheng and the others were unwilling, they also knew that on the battlefield, Zhao Long was definitely right and knew more than them.
The Zhenbei Army circled in front of the enemy's camp and charged back, killing many more enemy troops along the way, and then rushed directly into Yumen Pass.
Today's first day of fighting is over.
Zhao Long led the Zhenbei Army back to the camp, and then went to the commander's account in person to meet with Nie Ze, Han Yun and others.
Once the war begins, the big shots will definitely come to the commander's tent to discuss the military situation.
When he arrived at the commander's tent, Nie Ze had just ordered the auxiliary troops to leave the city, collect arrows, stones and bullets, collect the corpses and cremate them.
Those corpses cannot be left to the enemy, nor can they be left outside the city to breed plague.
The enemy army was frightened after this battle, but they did not dare to come and snatch the corpse.
At this time, everyone was summarizing today's battle.
However, the summary result is that this battle was fought inexplicably, the victory was too easy, and there is no experience worth summarizing.
The enemy army was so weak that it collapsed at the first touch, which made the defense force, which had been preparing for an attack, feel like a punch on cotton.
Nie Ze said easily,
"The enemy army is already short of food and grass, and the soldiers are very resentful. In addition, after today's defeat, I am afraid that it will explode. If nothing happens, tonight or tomorrow, the enemy army will be in chaos, and they will collapse without a fight.
We can stand still and watch the other side collapse and withdraw."
The generals laughed, and the battle was easy today, which doubled their confidence.
However, Han Yun shook his head and said,
"If they could retreat, they wouldn't have come all the way to us to die.
Rabbits bite people when they are anxious. We cannot underestimate the potential that people can unleash when they are on the brink of despair. When they are about to die, nothing is too much.
They will not sit quietly and wait to starve to death, they will definitely find a way."
Nie Ze asked rhetorically,
"What solution can they come up with? They can't go north to fight the monsters, right? How can those who don't even have enough to eat defeat the monsters?
If they dare to provoke the Demon Clan, it will be a war on two fronts. The Demon Clan will not let them go. Then they will have to face two powerful enemies: us and the Demon Clan. They will not be able to defeat either of them and will only die.
faster."
"I don't know what other methods they will come up with, but we still have to be careful and send more scouts to find out the enemy's movements. We must always pay attention to the enemy's actions."
After saying this, Han Yun immediately left his tent and went home to see his wife and children.
Xin'er saw the bloody battlefield today, and he was worried that she wouldn't be able to sleep.
After Han Yun left, Nie Ze shook his head and smiled,
"Zhenbei Hou is really too stable. I really can't think of any hope of a comeback based on the enemy troops outside."
Zhao Long said nothing and frowned. His intuition told him that the enemy army seemed not that simple.
…
Outside the pass, within the coalition camp.
There was a loud noise, and the screams and wails could not be heard without end.
"It's chaos, it's chaos, all your soldiers are in chaos!"
Ganbul walked into the handsome tent angrily, pointed at Talmu and shouted angrily,
"If you don't hurry up and take a look, your soldiers are going crazy with hunger. They have already started to attack the wounded soldiers. Many of them have been hacked to death by them now."
As for what happened after he was chopped down, Ganbul didn't say, Talmu also knew.
Talmu just nodded numbly and sat on the handsome chair, motionless.
"Talmud, I'm talking to you, you should think of a solution quickly!"
Gumbul looked at his salty look and couldn't help but burst into anger.
The soldiers were about to mutiny, and the camp outside had already turned into a hell on earth, with a tragedy of fratricide being staged, but he was still able to sit still.
"What can I do? Do you have any idea? Tell me."
Talmu sneered.
"I...what can I do? I can't think of anything, but I know that if you don't care about those people, they will come over tomorrow, rush into the handsome tent, and chop off your head!"
