"Commander, the Zhao army's cavalry is attacking from both sides. What should we do now? Will we continue to send troops under the city wall to rescue the brothers outside the city?" A captain of ten thousand asked urgently.
"Save me, do you still have a chance now? The Zhao army will not move. If it moves, we will be in danger. Damn it, we have fallen into the trap! Let the cavalry be divided into two, and move out from the left and right to resist the Zhao army coming from the left and right. Army Cavalry.¡±
"Immediately send an order to the warriors who are attacking the city and ask them to withdraw immediately!"
In panic, Geely issued several military orders in a hurry. At this moment, what he was thinking about was no longer attacking the city, but how to protect himself. At this moment, the morale of his soldiers had been beaten to the lowest point by Zhao Jun's combination of punches. It was hard for him to imagine what would happen if he couldn't resist the other party
"Brothers, the Turkic army has fallen into the trap. We will break the enemy today. Fight with me!" On both sides of the Turkic army's central 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 stormy wave crashing on the shore, it rolled towards the Turkic army in front. There is the place where the Turkic army commander is.
Seeing the earth under their feet receding like a tide, the roaring sound between heaven and earth due to thousands of strong horses striking 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 central Turkic army from the left and right sides. The cry of killing covered up all the sounds between heaven and earth. The sound was like thunder. Tens of thousands of iron hooves stirred up the smoke and dust in the sky, like billowing iron currents, with overwhelming momentum
Because it was an attack on 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. However, at this moment, the cavalry in the city suddenly rushed out, immediately turning the Turkic army outside the city into a lamb to be slaughtered. Especially among the cavalry, the heavy cavalry cleared the way, making them even more invincible.
The Turkic troops attacking the city began to commotion, and the Turkic soldiers located 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 and tried to control the decline, their efforts were in vain. After the cavalry arrived, in addition to becoming dead souls under the horses' hooves, more of these Turkic soldiers began to retreat back, and fewer and fewer soldiers were able to stay in place to resist.
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. How could it be like this if he was fighting in the field and fighting alone? Even though the Zhao army's armor and equipment were sharp, the Turkic army could still fight the enemy in the wilderness. But now, not to mention that the Turkic army without heavy armor cannot resist the cavalry, even if it can resist it, how can the Turkic army, which has been fighting hard for almost a day, resist the Zhao army's cavalry with high morale and energy?
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 phalanx and fighting to the death can we have a chance of survival. Turning around and running away can only lead to self-destruction. Two legs can never be faster than four legs. However, the remaining half a million men under his command and the rest of the Turkic army officers and soldiers had no intention of fighting and just turned around and ran away, which would only make their own defeat faster.
In fact, it is not that there were no Turkic soldiers who fought desperately to resist. However, under the strong pressure of the Zhao army's cavalry formation, especially under the charge of the heavy armored cavalry, the resisting soldiers suffered a strong blow first. Therefore, the remaining Turkic army soldiers were wiped out because of the elite in the army, and only The little bit of morale that existed quickly faded away, and officers at all levels could no longer give orders to their subordinates, and soon all officers also joined the fleeing team. However, how could they escape under the charge of cavalry?
As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain falling. 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 who was behind, could not escape. Although he understood that only concerted efforts could resist the Zhao army's attack, 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.
Zhao Jun¡¯s cavalry plunged into the scattered and fleeing Turkic soldiers like tigers rushing into a flock of sheep. The sharp city walls penetrated the bodies of the Turkic soldiers like straw. The bloody massacre - began!
"Purlin Cong, the centurion of the Turkic army in the past, was also running forward desperately at this moment. He did not dare to stop or look back. Continuous screams came from behind, and there was no need to look back.??He knew that his robe was being brutally massacred. Purunong felt very angry. He hated Zhao Jun's 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 robe.
"ah¡¡"
A long scream suddenly sounded from behind, and it was so close. Obviously, Zhao Jun's cavalry has caught up! Is today the day of my death? 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 angrily, 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. In the fierce clash of gold and iron, Purlin opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of blood arrows. His bulky body floated like a kite, tumbling in the air and falling backwards. . He felt that his entire chest had been squeezed into a thin layer and it was 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 has the power of the impact of the war horse and the pressure of the heavy armor.
The Zhao Jun cavalry looked coldly at the Turkic Army officer who intercepted him, with a flash of disdain in Yanzhou. However, the strong horse under his crotch did not stop moving forward. Hearing a long hiss of "ßÔlvlv", the two front hooves of the horse under the heavy armored cavalry kicked in the air twice, and then followed the Turkish centurion's The face door was stepped down hard.
"Pfft" With a crisp sound, the Turkic army centurion turned into a corpse like an ordinary Turkic soldier. And the centurion's head was already shattered like a smashed watermelon.
"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. It was immediately clear that this man should be the commander-in-chief of the Turkic Army.
Seeing that the Turkic troops were all in front of them, 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 roar and the exclamations of his subordinates, he immediately felt something was wrong. However, before he could look back, he felt a sharp pain in his back, and then flew away from the war horse. Hearing the screams of his own bodyguard, his eyes slowly fell into darkness.
Chi¡¯e, the first captain of ten thousand men in the Turkic army, was beheaded by Nangong Hao! This is the first, but not the last.
The death of Chi'e immediately caused the Turkic army, which had lost all morale, to collapse on a large scale again, especially the tens of thousands of soldiers under Chi'e's command. And they influenced the rest of the Turkic soldiers, causing more and more Turkic soldiers to lose their fighting spirit and collapse
¡¡¡¡
At the same time that the Turkic army outside the city gate encountered a cavalry raid in Landu City, the Turkic army's central army also ushered in a flanking attack by cavalry from both sides.
At this moment, all the blood on the face of the Turkic army coach Jili was gone. The situation in front of him told him that his attack on Landu City this time was a complete failure. In fact, he is 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 this time?" 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! Commander, retreat, it¡¯s too late,¡± Captain Harin said tremblingly.
"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. Marshal, my subordinates suggest that some generals should be left behind. It's to stop the enemy. Don't turn back to the camp, just retreat north. If you think about it, Zhao Jun will definitely capture our camp and won't chase the commander again," the Guards general said coldly.
The general of the Guards said this, and the two captains of thousands and the dozens of captains of thousands were all speechless. If you want to keep someone behind, who should you keep? After all, those left behind basically have no way out. But I have to admit that what the general said makes sense.
While the Turkic generals were struggling, the Zhao cavalry had already charged in from both sides. More than 20,000 cavalrymen held weapons. As the horses galloped, it was a large moving mass.dark clouds. It contains unparalleled lightning, which will give the opponent a fatal blow!
The cavalrymen of the heavy cavalry brigade in the rear each held a horse-horse in their hands. At this time, each cavalryman was lying low, holding the horse tightly between his legs, holding the horse-horse tightly with both hands, and looking firmly ahead.
¡°Rumble¡¡±
In an instant, the Turkic Army¡¯s cavalry formation was charged into by the Zhao Army¡¯s cavalry. Immediately, the men fell over and their horses were knocked down, and they were constantly disabled. The Zhao cavalry behind them was divided into multiple groups and cut into the Turkic cavalry formation from all directions. It seems that Zhao Jun's cavalry intends to completely annihilate 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 had 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 troops. He was able to appear in the central army because he planned to take a short rest before attacking the city. However, now that Geely has pointed out its responsibility to deal with the aftermath, what more can it say?
Not willing? Of course Yannian is not willing to deal with the aftermath. After all, the aftermath is really about dying. But he had no right to choose. Whether it was the power in his hands or his position, he had to obey Geely's military orders. Now, in the land of the Central Army, there are 10,000 cavalrymen who have never been in battle, but they are all Geely soldiers, or warriors of the Geely tribe. In addition, there are scattered soldiers, with a total of about 10,000 soldiers in teams of three to four thousand people. Naturally, they will be responsible for the aftermath.
"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 in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. What Jili said was actually threatening him with his own tribe, asking him to hold off Zhao Jun with his five thousand soldiers.
"Brothers, we have no way out. Everyone mounts up and charges forward! Charge!" Watching Ji Li's departure from the escort of Ji Li's soldiers who had not fought in the first battle, 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 general of the cavalry, shook his head and said with an inexplicable sneer: "No, the main purpose of this battle is to keep all the 130,000 to 40,000 soldiers of the Turkic army. As for the enemy general, we will Put it back and see if there is a chance, and let them send a group of Turkic troops for us to kill! Brothers, let me disperse the enemy troops who are responsible for the aftermath, and then attack southward, and be sure to keep all the enemy troops behind. Down."
Of course Huang Cheng knew that Zhao Xun had no intention of killing the former commander of the Turkic army. First of all, the other party is not a brilliant talent. Keeping him will not have a bad impact on Zhao Jun. Secondly, although Zhao Jun's cavalry has an advantage under Landu City at this moment, the number of Zhao Jun's cavalry is at a disadvantage. Among them, the heavy armored cavalry cannot last long, so it is necessary to defeat the enemy's cavalry team that has not participated in the battle and immediately attack the Turkic army outside Landu City. Thirdly, in this battle, in addition to killing the enemy's effective forces to the maximum extent, we also need to seize the enemy's livestock in the Qi army's front camp, which is actually food and grass and more than 100,000 horses of the Turkic army. These are much more useful to Zhao Jun than a former army coach.
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.
Five or six thousand Turkic troops who had dealt with the aftermath faced the attack of 20,000 Zhao troops, and the situation was clear at a glance. Yannian and his soldiers, who stayed behind, all understood that this was a fatal situation.
But they had to obey the military orders and leave the consequences, because they were responsible for their tribe. If they disobey the military order, their tribe will be completely annexed by Xue Nie Khan looking for excuses. And how can Yannian, who has already lost half of the warriors, be Xue Nie Khan's opponent?
??????????????????????????? What a pity these warriors! The current Zhao army is no longer the Yan Kingdom of the past. Going south was no longer possible, Yannian couldn't help but sigh. A few tears could not help but appear in his tiger eyes. He felt pity for the more than ten thousand brothers who followed him.
"kill!"
Yannian shouted loudly and could only lead his men and charge towards the oncoming Zhao cavalry. The two armies staggered past each other and attacked each other. The horses were running at high speed, and basically only one stab came between the two sides. The Turkic army used scimitars, but the Zhao army used long spears. The Turkic soldiers were exhausted from the previous battle, while the Zhao army soldiers were high in energy.
Between the electric light and flint, one after another, the spears and the scimitars are stabbing each other. Either you will die or not.??I die. Some knights were hit by the blow and fell off their horses screaming, while others were able to escape due to their superb riding skills. In such a battle formation, as long as you fall off the horse, no matter whether you are injured or not, you are basically judged to be dead. The countless high-speed running horse hooves will trample the fallen knights into pulp.
The spear weapon is longer and takes the upper hand when stabbing. Often after a stabbing, they had no time to pull out the swords, and the knights would pull out the short weapons they carried with them. In a flash of lightning, the swords would be unsheathed one after another, and the sharp blades would be like lightning bolts. Brutally and mercilessly slashing at the opponents around them.
Most of the Turkic soldiers have no armor, while the Zhao army soldiers are all protected by light plate armor. When the two armies fought, the Turkic army soldiers were hit by the Zhao army and were often killed in one blow. However, the Zhao army officers and soldiers were mostly able to avoid the attacks of the Turkic army who were timid due to energy, morale and other reasons.
A round, just a round. The aftermath team of 5,000 Turkic troops was basically wiped out. 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 with a smile to the oncoming Captain Qin Yuan.
"No problem! When I take over the enemy camp, I will turn back and kill the enemy with Brother Huang!" Qin Yuan was also happy.
¡°Brothers, kill with me!¡± The two shouted together, one south and one north, running towards their respective goals.
A few miles north of Landu City, the Turkic Army¡¯s former military camp had its remaining sergeants completely collapsed after their coach Geely fled north. It can be said that Qin Yuan took over this place without any bloodshed. Then he returned to Landu City, and together with the soldiers from all walks of life, surrounded and annihilated the Turkic soldiers outside Landu City.
"Victory" Soon after, a thunderous cheer came from the entire battlefield
