"Commander, the Zhao army's cavalry is attacking from both sides. What should we do now? Should we continue to send troops under the city wall to rescue the brothers outside the city?" A captain of ten thousand men asked urgently.
"Save me, do you still have a chance now? The Zhao army will not move, and if it moves, we will be in danger. Damn it, we have fallen into the trap! Let the cavalry be divided into two, and send out left and right to resist Zhao coming from the left and right.
Military cavalry.”
"Immediately send an order to the warriors attacking the city and ask them to withdraw immediately!"
In panic, Ji Li issued several military orders in a hurry. At this moment, he was no longer thinking about attacking the city, but how to protect himself. At this moment, the morale of his soldiers had been destroyed by Zhao Jun's combination of punches.
The blow hit rock bottom. It was hard for him to imagine what would happen if he couldn't resist the opponent...
"Brothers, the Turkic army has fallen into the trap. We must break the enemy today. Kill me!" On both sides of the Turkic army, Captains Huang Cheng and Qin Yuan raised their spears high, shouted loudly, and galloped on their horses.
Behind them, 10,000 Zhao troops and three mixed cavalrymen each followed closely, following them with great enthusiasm. The huge cavalry formation was like a wave from hell, carrying the power of crushing everything, like the sky falling apart and the earth shattering.
Like a turbulent wave crashing on the shore, it rolled towards the Turkic army in front. There, there was the place where the Turkic army commander was.
Seeing the earth under my feet receding like a tide, the roar between heaven and earth due to thousands of strong horses knocking on the earth at the same time; looking at the panicked Turkic soldiers, the heroic pride was in the chests of the Zhao army officers and soldiers.
Burning, scorching eyes reflected their excited and excited hearts.
"kill!"
"Rumble..."
In an instant, 20,000 troops fiercely attacked the somewhat chaotic Turkic army from both sides. The shouts of killing covered up all the sounds between heaven and earth. The sound was like thunder, and tens of thousands of iron hooves stirred up smoke and dust in the sky.
It's like a billowing stream of iron rolling in, with overwhelming momentum...
Because they were attacking the city, most of the 40,000 to 50,000 Turkic troops outside the city dismounted and became infantry. Even the archers who suppressed the defenders on the city were now infantry behind them. Then at this moment, the cavalry in the city suddenly came out,
Immediately, the Turkic army outside the city became a lamb to be slaughtered, especially among the cavalry, the heavy cavalry cleared the way, making them even more invincible.
The Turkic army attacking the city began to commotion, and the Turkic soldiers around the city gate began to disperse in panic. After all, how can flesh and blood be the opponent of the torrent of steel? Although dozens of officers continued to shout loudly in the army,
They tried to control the decline, but their efforts were in vain. After the cavalry arrived, these Turkic soldiers not only became dead souls under the horses' hooves, but more of them began to retreat. Those who could persist in staying in place to resist
The number of soldiers became less and less.
Chi'e, the Turkic army commander who was closest to the city wall and was the first to face the Zhao army's cavalry attack, sighed in despair. If he was fighting in the field and fighting alone, how could this be the case? Even if the Zhao army's armor and equipment were sharp, the Turkic army would still be like this.
Can be more open
On the field, they were entangled and engaged with the enemy. But now, not to mention that the Turkic army without heavy armor is difficult to resist the cavalry, even if it can resist, how can the Turkic army, which has been fighting hard for almost a day, resist the high morale and energetic cavalry?
Where are Zhao Jun’s cavalry?
Chi'e knew very well that if the tens of thousands of Turkic troops outside the city could work together, they might not be able to block the more than 15,000 Zhao cavalry. Only by forming a dense formation and fighting to the death, could there be a chance of survival. Turning around and running away could only
It is self-destruction. Two legs can never be faster than four legs. However, the remaining half a million troops under his command and the rest of the Turkic army officers and soldiers have no intention of fighting at all. They just turn around and run away, which can only lead to their own defeat.
Go faster.
In fact, it is not that there were no Turkic soldiers who resisted desperately. However, under the strong pressure of the Zhao army's cavalry formation, especially under the charge of the heavy armored cavalry, the resisting soldiers were first severely hit. Therefore, the rest of the Turkic soldiers
soldiers because of
The elite of the army were wiped out, and what little morale remained quickly faded. Officers at all levels could no longer give orders to their subordinates, and soon all officers joined the fleeing team. However, under the charge of the cavalry,
How can they escape?
As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain. At this moment, the Turkic army has become a frightened bird. They just run away and have no idea of resistance. Even Chi'e, the captain of ten thousand men in the rear, can't escape. Although he understands that only by working together can he resist the Zhao army.
Attack, but he also knew that at this time, one person's stubborn resistance was not enough to reverse the situation on the entire battlefield. He had no choice but to flee.
The Zhao army's cavalry plunged into the scattered and fleeing Turkic soldiers like tigers into a flock of sheep. The sharp city walls penetrated the bodies of the Turkic soldiers like straw, and the bloody massacre began!
Purlin, the former centurion of the Turkic army, was running forward desperately at this moment. He didn't dare to stop or look back. Continuous screams came from behind. He didn't need to look back to know that his robe was suffering.
Brutal massacre. Purin felt very angry. He hated the Zhao army for the sudden attack, and even more hated himself for losing his courage. He did not dare to turn around and fight the enemy. He could only listen to the screams from his own robe.
"ah……"
A long scream suddenly sounded from behind, and it was actually very close. It was obvious that Zhao Jun's cavalry had caught up! Could it be that today is the day I die? Purlin sighed secretly, knowing that the possibility of escaping was slim.
So, he became ruthless, turned around with his sword in hand, and prepared to fight Zhao Jun to the death.
However, as soon as he turned around, as far as he could see, a cold light had already cut his neck.
"Ah... If you want to kill me, I will fight with you..."
Purlin's eyes widened in anger, he let out a wolf howl, and tried his best to block with his sword. The two knives collided with each other without any tricks. Amidst the fierce sound of metal and iron, Purlin opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of blood arrows.
His body had floated up like a kite, rolling and falling in the air. He felt that his entire chest had been squeezed into a thin layer, making it difficult to breathe.
What a tyrannical force. Even if you try your best, you still can't block a knife?
In fact, it is not the strength of Sergeant Zhao's soldiers, but the power of the opponent's charge, which is as powerful as the impact of the war horse and the pressure of the heavy armor.
The Zhao cavalry looked coldly at the Turkic officer who intercepted him, and Yanzhou flashed a look of disdain. However, the strong horse under his crotch did not stop moving forward. Hearing a long hiss of "咴lvlv", the heavy armored cavalry crouched
The two front hooves of the dismounted war horse kicked in the air twice, and then trampled down hard on the face of the Turkic centurion.
"Pfft..." With a crisp sound, the Turkic army centurion became a corpse like an ordinary Turkic soldier. And the centurion's head, like a smashed watermelon, had already broken into pieces.
.
"Chief Thief, where are you escaping!" Nangong Hao saw from a distance a knight with a golden sword hanging on his waist, riding on a fine war horse, and surrounded by dozens of guards, running away among the chaos. He immediately understood that this man should be a Turk
The commander-in-chief of the army.
Seeing that the Turkic troops were all in front of him, and he was far away from them, and it was difficult to catch up for a while, Nangong Hao immediately used the spear in his hand as a throwing spear.
"Sir, be careful!" The guard behind Chi'e saw a black light coming with a roaring sound, and immediately exclaimed.
When Chi'e heard the whistling and the exclamations of his subordinates, he immediately felt something was wrong. However, before he could turn around to check, he felt a sharp pain in his back, and then flew away from the war horse. He heard the rapid movements of his own bodyguard.
Phew, my eyes slowly fell into darkness.
Chi'e, the first captain of ten thousand men in the Turkic army, was beheaded by Nangong Hao! This was the first, but not the last.
The death of Chi'e immediately caused the Turkic army, which had already lost all morale, to collapse on a large scale again. Especially the tens of thousands of soldiers under Chi'e immediately collapsed. And they affected the rest of the Turkic soldiers, causing
More and more Turkic soldiers lost their fighting spirit and collapsed...
…………
While the Turkic army outside the city gate encountered a surprise attack by the cavalry in Landu City, the Turkic army's center also faced a pincer attack by cavalry from both sides.
At this moment, all the color on the face of the Turkic army coach Jili was gone. The situation before him told him that his attack on Landu City was a complete failure. In fact, he was very likely to die this time.
"Commander, nothing can be done, retreat quickly!" Seeing that Geely was still in a daze, the general of Geely's personal guard urged him to persuade him.
"It's impossible to do anything? Is this commander going to be defeated?" Geely cried out in pain.
"Damn Zhao Jun, they are too cunning. They used Landu City to lure our cavalry into infantry, so that our advantage could not be used. Instead, the soldiers were exhausted because of the attack on the city, but they hid elite cavalry on the side...
…Damn it! Marshal, withdraw, it’s too late.” Captain Harlin said in a trembling voice.
"No, if we evacuate here, none of us will be able to escape Zhao Jun's pursuit. Don't forget, the opponent has already attacked from the flank, and has 20,000 cavalry heading straight here. Commander, my subordinates suggest that some generals should be left behind.
It is to block the enemy troops. The commander should not turn back to the camp and withdraw directly to the north. Think about it, Zhao Jun will definitely capture our camp and not chase the commander again." The Guards general said coldly.
The Guards general said this, but the two captains of thousands and the dozens of captains of thousands were all silent. If you want to keep someone behind, then who should be left behind? After all, those who stay will basically have no way to survive. But
I have to admit that what the general said makes sense.
While the Turkic army general was struggling, the Zhao cavalry had already charged in from both sides. More than 20,000 cavalrymen were holding weapons. As the horses galloped, they were like a large moving dark cloud. There was unrivaled lightning in it.
, will give the opponent a fatal blow!
The cavalrymen of the heavy cavalry brigade at the rear each held a horse-stem. At this time, each cavalryman was crouching low, holding the horse tightly between his legs, holding the horse-stem tightly with both hands, and looking firmly ahead.
"Rumble..."
In an instant, the Turkic Army's cavalry formation was rushed in by the Zhao Army's cavalry. Immediately, people fell off their horses and became disabled. The Zhao Army's cavalry behind them was divided into multiple groups and cut into the Turkic Army's cavalry formation from all directions. It seemed that the Zhao Army's cavalry was rushing into the formation.
The cavalry had great intentions of annihilating the opponent.
"Yannian, do you have any problems after your troops are cut off?" At this moment, Ji Li had already woken up. Naturally, he did not want to die here, so he immediately ordered Yannian, the captain of ten thousand men, who suffered heavy losses due to the siege.
Hearing this, Yannian felt bitter in his heart. The original 10,000 tribal warriors under his command were now less than 5,000. The previous siege battle caused heavy losses to his tribe. He was able to appear in the central army because of a slightly different plan.
Let’s rest and recuperate before attacking the city again. But now that Geely has pointed out how to deal with the aftermath, what more can he say?
Not willing? Of course Yannian is unwilling to deal with the aftermath. After all, dealing with the aftermath is actually to die. But he has no right to choose. Whether it is the power in his hands or his position, he has to obey the auspicious military orders. Now in the land of Zhongjun
, there are 10,000 cavalry who have never gone into battle, but they are all Geely soldiers, or warriors of the Geely tribe. In addition, there are scattered soldiers of three to four thousand people, totaling about 10,000 soldiers. The aftermath
, naturally they are responsible.
"The last general takes orders!" Yannian gritted his teeth and responded.
"Very good, hold off Zhao Jun's cavalry for half an hour, and then you can leave freely. After I return, I will ask for credit for your tribe in front of the Khan!" Geely said coldly.
Yannian was angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. What Jili said was actually threatening him with his own tribe, so that he and his five thousand soldiers could hold off the Zhao army.
"Brothers, we have no way out. Everyone mounts up and charges forward! Charge!" Watching Ji Li's escort of Ji Li's soldiers who had not fought in the first battle leave, Yannian screamed at his subordinates in a stern voice.
"Sir, the enemy commander has escaped. Should we pursue him?"
Huang Cheng, the captain of the Zhao army and the commander of the cavalry, shook his head and said with an inexplicable sneer: "No, the main purpose of this battle is to keep all the 134,000 soldiers of the Turkic army behind. As for the enemy general, we will
Put them back and see if there is a chance, and let them send a group of Turkic troops for us to slaughter! Brothers, disperse the enemy forces that are responsible for the aftermath, and then attack south, and be sure to keep all the enemy forces attacking the city behind.
Down."
Of course Huang Cheng knew that Zhao Xun had no intention of killing the former commander of the Turkic Army. Firstly, the other party was not a brilliant talent. Keeping him would not have a bad impact on Zhao Jun. Secondly, at this moment, Landu City
Although the Zhao Army's cavalry has an advantage, the number of Zhao Army's cavalry is at a disadvantage. And among them, the heavy armored cavalry cannot last long, so it is necessary to
Defeat the enemy's cavalry team that had not participated in the battle and immediately attacked the Turkic army outside Landu City. Thirdly, in addition to killing the enemy's effective forces to the maximum extent, this battle also required the capture of the Qi army's former camp.
The livestock of the army are actually grain and grass and more than 100,000 horses of the Turkic army. These are much more useful to the Zhao army than a former army commander.
In addition, the plan of Zhao Xun and others this time is not only for the more than 100,000 Turkic troops in the front army, they also hope to pull down Xue Nie Khan and the 300,000 to 400,000 Turkic troops under his command, and then give them
A severe blow made him no longer dare to go south, and he no longer had the courage and strength to go south.
The situation was clear at a glance when the five or six thousand Turkic troops who had dealt with the aftermath were facing the attack of 20,000 Zhao troops. However, Yannian and his officers and soldiers who stayed in the rear knew that this was a fatal situation.
But they cannot disobey military orders and leave consequences, because they are responsible for their own tribes. If they disobey military orders, then their tribe will be completely annexed by Xue Nie Khan looking for excuses. Half of them have already been lost.
How can the warrior's longevity be the match of Xue Nie Khan?
Sigh... What a pity for these warriors! The current Zhao army is no longer the Yan Kingdom of the past. It is no longer possible to go south, Yannian couldn't help but sigh. A few tears could not help but appear in his tiger eyes, he
I feel pity for the tens of thousands of brothers who follow me.
"kill!"
Yannian shouted loudly, and could only lead his men and charge towards the oncoming Zhao army cavalry. The two armies staggered past, attacking each other, and the horses running at high speed basically only stabbed each other.
One note. The Turkic army used scimitars, but the Zhao army used long spears. The Turkic soldiers were exhausted from the previous battle, but the Zhao army's soldiers were high in energy.
Between the lightning and flint, one after another, spears and scimitars stabbed each other. Either you died or I died. Some knights were hit by a single blow and screamed and fell off their horses, while some had superb riding skills.
, barely escaped. In such a battle formation, as long as you fall off your horse, no matter whether you are injured or not, you are basically judged to be dead. The countless high-speed running horse hooves will kill the knights who fell off their horses.
Trampled into flesh.
Spear weapons are longer, and they have the upper hand when stabbing each other. Often when they stab, they have no time to draw out, and the knights draw out the short swords they carry with them. In the lightning speed, one after another the swords are unsheathed and drawn out.
When it came out, the sharp blade was like lightning bolts, slashing at the opponents around them fiercely and mercilessly.
Most of the Turkic soldiers were unarmored, while the Zhao soldiers were all protected by light plate armor. When the two armies were fighting, the Turkic soldiers were often killed by Zhao Jun in one hit, but most of the Zhao soldiers could avoid it.
An attack by the Turkic army, which was frightened due to reasons such as energy and morale.
One round, just one round. The 5,000 Turkic army's aftermath team was basically wiped out. And the cavalry team composed of Zhao Jun and three warriors only left four to five hundred corpses.
"Brother Qin, according to the plan, you will take over the enemy camp, while I will lead the army to surround and kill the Turkic soldiers outside Landu City. Huang Cheng looked at the battlefield and said to the oncoming Captain Qin Yuan with a smile.
"No problem! When I take over the enemy camp, I will turn back and kill the enemy with Brother Huang!" Qin Yuan was also very happy.
"Brothers, kill me!" they both shouted, one south and one north, running towards their respective goals.
The former Turkic army camp a few miles north of Landu City, its remaining sergeants had completely collapsed after the commander Ji Li fled north. Qin Yuan took over here, and it can be said that he wasted no time. Then he returned to Landu City and fought with all the troops.
Together with the soldiers on the road, they surrounded and annihilated the Turkic soldiers outside Landu City.
"Victory..." Soon after, a thunderous cheer came from the entire battlefield...
