- Chapter 40 The decisive victory
With the sound of war drums, the victory scale has completely fallen to the Tang army.
"kill¡ª¡ª!!!"
Earth-shaking roars sounded from the left and right sides of Xue Yantuo's army. The roars accompanied the winter wind and formed a strong wind that swept away everything, shaking the eardrums of Xue Yantuo's three armies.
The fierce momentum frightened the horses in Xue Yantuo's formation and made them neigh.
Xue Yantuo's knights relied on their superb riding skills to stabilize their frightened horses. When they looked left and right, with the help of tens of thousands of torches, they vaguely spotted countless Tang Dynasty soldiers wearing iron helmets appearing on the horizon. At some point, the Tang army surrounded Xue Yantuo's troops.
The ones who came were all cavalry, their black armors running like lightning, and with thunderous roars, they crashed into the rear of Xue Yantuo with lightning speed. Each of them was as fast as a dragon, invincible, as if they were coming from behind. A vengeful demon who returned from the Nine Nether Hells to the human world.
Dadu She was stunned at first, and then he screamed loudly: "Li Ji, Du He"
At this moment, how could he not guess the reason? He had stepped into the trap from the beginning, and was led into the trap step by step, becoming the turtle in the urn.
"The rear team will be the front team to meet the enemy" After all, Dadu Shi had experienced hundreds of battles and immediately organized an army to attack.
He reacted quickly, but Xue Yantuo's soldiers and horses lacked effective training after all. In terms of individual soldier ability, perhaps Xue Yantuo's soldiers were better than ordinary Tang soldiers. However, in terms of discipline, reaction, and respect for the general's orders, there is no way to compare with the Tang army. If it was the Tang Army that was ambushed at this moment, then with the sentence "The rear team will be the front team to meet the enemy," the last Tang Army would turn around as soon as possible and make all preparations for battle.
Xue Yantuo was far from being able to do this. They spent most of their strength on attacking Du He and breaking the backwater formation, and all their strength was concentrated in the front.
All things in the world cherish each other, and everything is different in strength and weakness. The offensive of Xue Yantuo's army is strong, but the corresponding rear defense must be weak.
Faced with the sudden attack by the Tang army, the brave Xue Yantuo army just instinctively turned around to face the enemy, fighting on their own. They couldn't tell what was the rear team and what was the front team, and they were not under any command.
Xue Yantuo's army who stayed behind was removed from the front line to rest, and his physical strength was limited. Suddenly faced with a strong attack by the Tang army, no need to say more about the result, you can know the result just by looking at your eyes.
There is no need for formations and tactics at all. Under the fierce attack of the Tang Army's cavalry, the exhausted Xue Yantuo soldiers were defeated with just one blow People can maintain a long-term battle under a tense state of mind. However, once you relax, you need a long period of rest if you want to recover. How could Xue Yantuo's soldiers, who were resting and taking a temporary challenge, gallop with their horses and kill the enemy with their swords?
In just a few quarters of an hour, the dead bodies of Xue Yantuo people were piled up on the grassland by the river.
"Damn it" Dadu was so depressed that he almost spurted blood to death. He whipped his horse hard and shouted for the soldiers on the front line to withdraw and let them face the incoming army.
"Kill" Dadushu was surrounded by 20,000 soldiers and horses mobilized from the front line. While he quickly stepped forward to attack, he shouted loudly in a Turkic roar: "Send the order to Xubu Poquan, let him die." Hold on, all warriors of the Xueyantuo tribe" He originally planned to boost his morale and fight to the end.
Before he finished speaking, there were more shouts of killing coming from behind. Dadu Shi turned around and felt his heart become cold: Du He himself withdrew the defensive formation, switched from defense to offense, and personally led all the Tang troops. Taking Mo Dao's army as the lead, they are heading towards us
"Reinforcements have arrived, victory is at hand. Soldiers charge!"
After realizing that Da Du was deploying troops to support the rear, Du He chose to sprinkle a pinch of salt on Xue Yantuo's wounds.
The Tang army had already adopted comprehensive tactics, attacking from the front, rear, left and right, and from all sides, intending to completely encircle and annihilate Xue Yantuo's soldiers.
Dadu planned to send people to block Du He's offensive at the nearest position. Just as the order was issued, the cheers and shouts of the enemies behind him became louder and louder. When he looked back, he saw that Xue Yantuo's troops were no longer organized!
Attacking from all sides, Xue Yantuo lacked effective team combat training. When he met the Tang army who cooperated tacitly, he was completely unable to seize the opportunity to counterattack.
Although Dadu Shi is trying his best to organize a counterattack, he hopes to turn defeat into victory. It's a pity that since ancient times, there has never been a place that is more realistic and cruel than the battlefield. If the defeat is successful, even if Sun Wu is resurrected and Bai Qi is reincarnated, there will be no way to make a comeback.
As soon as his spirit was gone, Xue Yantuo was defeated like a mountain. He felt that there were enemies on all sides.
Du He led the twoHe selected the vanguard army and headed straight towards Xue Yantuo's middle army to meet him.
With the sword in his hand, every time he struck out, he could pick or stab, sweep or block. No matter how brave and skilled Xue Yantuo's soldiers were, against Du He's complementary sword skills, he would only die. Xue Wuying's swiftness and mightiness are also vividly reflected on the battlefield. No horse can gain any advantage from Xue Wuying in the collision with each other.
"when"! A scimitar fell from the sky and struck Du He with a sword that he thought would kill him.
"Is it you?" Du He met the visitor, who was none other than Luantan Liuhun, one of Dadu Za's confidants.
Luantan Liuhun has been ordered by Dadu Design to come specifically to stop Du He's attack.
Luantan Liuhun let out a long roar, feeling the blood hatred of the tragic deaths of his allies fighting side by side in his heart. Thousands of knife shadows appeared from the scimitar in his hand, and his aura roared, attacking Du He like a strong wind and huge waves.
Du He smiled calmly and threw the Dingtang Dao in his hand into the air. With a shake of his palm, a flying knife shot straight into Luantang Liuhun. The flying knife killed him so quickly that Luandan Liuhun had no power to resist, and fell down on his horse, dying with his eyes open. He raised his hand to catch the Dingtang Sword and continued to kill.
In this moment of sharp confrontation, either you die or I die, and there is no place for mercy.
Although it is dishonorable to launch a cold arrow like this secretly, it can kill the enemy general in the shortest time, which is of great benefit to boost morale. There is no need to fight with him.
¡°Du He is a wise general, not a reckless man
As soon as Luantan Liuhun died, the blocking army he brought was instantly swallowed up by the Tang army.
Qibi Heli met his old rival Xubu Poquandai on the battlefield while wielding the mace.
Xubu Poquan looked at the unharmed Qibi Heli and shouted in horror: "Are you a human or a ghost?"
Qi Bi Heli was confused by what he heard. He didn't know the tactics Du He used, so he didn't know that he was already a dead person in the eyes of others. But seeing Xubu Poquandai's face full of shock and his hands a little weak, he directly used his three major killing moves to kill Xubu Poquandai in front of his horse.
The generals of the Tang army were brave, but under siege from all sides, Xue Yantuo's soldiers suffered defeats one after another, and many generals were executed on the spot.
"Withdraw" Da Duzhi smiled self-deprecatingly, regretting it only now. He had indeed underestimated Du He and Tang Jun.
Xue Yantuo was defeated like a mountain. The whole army had no fighting spirit and fled in all directions. But on the night when Xue Yantuo and Du He were fighting to the death, a big net and an encirclement were already in sight. Tang troops were everywhere. Even if Xue Yantuo's soldiers wanted to escape, they were unable to do anything at this moment.
Only a few teams took advantage of the darkness to escape the encirclement. The rest of the people were trapped in the formation and could not break out.
Eighty thousand Tang troops fought bloody battles with Xue Yantuo's soldiers in the encirclement for a whole day and night. Corpses were scattered everywhere, and every piece of land on the battlefield was dyed red with blood.
In this battle, Xue Yantuo's army led by Da Dushu was defeated on the banks of the Saiyin Shanda River. Almost the entire army of 80,000 was wiped out. As many as 60,000 people were killed and more than 10,000 were captured.
Here we can also see the bravery of the grassland people. In general battles, if the number of casualties reaches 30%, the morale of the army will be shaken. If the number of casualties exceeds half, the army will collapse. However, Xue Yantuo's soldiers, although they were fleeing and their generals were unknown, still fought to the end. Day and night, until they suffered 80% of the casualties, some of them could not bear it anymore and chose to surrender. For this, the Tang army also paid 8,300. One hundred and sixty-two warriors as the price.
The victory was a great victory, and the only shortcoming was the lack of generous design. Dadu Shi's personal soldiers were extremely powerful in combat. They used the darkness of night to fight their way out from the northwest.
"Victory!"
Du He was almost a bloody man. His physical strength had long been exhausted. At the end of the battle, only his thoughts were left to support him. Now when he relaxed, his whole body ached and he couldn't even move his little finger.
Li Ji came to Du He's side with a smile on his face and said: "General Du, you are the first to win this battle."
Du He said with difficulty: "The first step is not the first step. We will talk about it later. Now I just want to sleep on the spot. As for Xue Yantuo's camp, I will leave it to you, the general manager. Hou Junji is recovering there. My people are here." Watch, be careful, don't let him get away There are still 150,000 sheep there, don't let them fall into Xue Yantuo's hands again."
Li Ji smiled lightly and said, "You don't need to worry about this. As early as when you were dueling with Dadu, I had already sent a team of soldiers and horses to take over Xue Yantuo's camp."
When Du He heard this, his heart relaxed, he closed his eyes, wrapped himself in a quilt, and fell asleep.
**********
When Dadushu learned that the military camp was occupied by the Tang army, he had just gathered two people.Many remnant soldiers planned to return to Xueyantuo's military camp, but they were intercepted by a group of soldiers and horses on the way. There were only a small number of them, only more than 400 people.
"That's the general situation" Hou Junji said lightly about the situation of the camp being captured, saying that the Tang army came with thousands of people, and they couldn't resist it at all. They could only escape with a few hundred people, planning to find Dadu. A large army was set up to rescue.
At this moment, Hou Junji's tone had changed, and his face showed that kind of condescending contempt. He didn't even look at Dazai, but just looked at him from the corner of his eye, with disdain in his eyes.
Da Duzhu didn¡¯t pay attention to anything at the moment.
Hou Junji was notorious in Xueyantuo. It was enough for him to desert. Who would flee with him?
What's more, there are as many as 400 people. You must know that the soldiers he left behind were only more than 500
