Chapter 1416: The Han Flag World (106) The Great Detour (Medium)
did not disappoint Agu Huaien, Gu Li appeared on the battlefield within the scheduled time, she did not attack the Chu army at the first time, thousands of Hun cavalry, but the first time was to rush into the Chu cavalry camp, the small number of Chu troops left in the camp was like a few bubbles, in the blink of an eye it melted in the tide of the Hun soldiers, one torch after another was thrown into the big tent, and the flames rose to the sky. Reserves of fodder and grain were instantly engulfed in fire bombs.
And under the reflection of the fire, Gu Li rushed out of the sea of fire with his Xiongnu independent cavalry division, and the ghost face on his face looked particularly hideous under the reflection of the firelight.
Compared with Agu Huai'en, Gu Li, the ghost-faced general, is much more famous among the Chu people, she is almost synonymous with the victory of the Han cavalry, over the years, the ghost-faced general has made great achievements in the war against Qin, and the Chu people have long listed her as the most dangerous figure.
Thousands of Hun cavalry surrounded from the periphery, the cavalry of the Chu army was caught inside and outside, and the two cavalry that surrounded them were the most famous cavalry units on this continent, whether it was equipment or combat power, they were far above the Chu army.
Escape has become the main theme of this moment.
The two cavalry divisions tacitly agreed to open a passage in one direction at the same time, which was in the direction of the infantry battalion of the Chu State. The panicked cavalry of the Chu army no longer had the strength to judge why the enemy in this direction was so weak at this time, but along this gap, desperately beating their horses and fleeing.
In their rear, two Han cavalry followed closely, and at this moment, their ranks had already unfolded, driving these Chu cavalry forward without stopping.
Bai Xizhong, the general of the Chu army, couldn't believe that in such a short period of time. His 10,000 cavalry collapsed, and at this time, under the cover of night, he didn't know that the Han cavalry chasing behind these Chu cavalry at this moment had reached as many as 10,000 people. At this moment, he was commanding the 20,000 soldiers of the right rear battalion to march slowly, originally intended to cooperate with the cavalry, but now, he found that his own cavalry might have their own lives.
"Array!" Bai Xizhong shouted, "Archer." Get ready. ”
One by one, the phalanx stopped, steadied their positions, and the spears were like a forest, forming a gun formation, and the archers stretched out their bows and arrows, pointing far ahead.
"Shout, left and right." Bai Xizhong said sharply.
Thousands of Chu soldiers shouted loudly, and the shouts of walking left and right resounded between heaven and earth, if these Chu cavalry were allowed to be driven. Impacting the infantry's main formation, I was afraid that the 20,000 Chu infantry I brought out of the camp would die without a place to bury.
The panicked cavalry of the Chu army listened to this loud shout and saw the brightly lit infantry phalanx in front of them, and they knew it in their hearts. Rushing through in this way will either crush your own army, or you will be shot into hedgehogs by your own infantry, and the fleeing torrent will be separated from the left and right. Flee to the darkness on both sides.
The Han cavalry did not seem to have any intention of attacking the infantry of the Chu army, and when the Chu army divided to the left and right, they were also divided to the left and right. chased the cavalry of the Chu army to the death, tearing the flesh and blood of the other party one by one.
"Shoot the arrows!" Bai Xizhong ordered loudly, even if the shouts resounded through the heavens and the earth, there were still the Chu cavalry and the Han cavalry who were able to catch up and rushed towards the military formation.
An overwhelming array of feathered arrows shot forward, and the pursuers and pursuers fell from their horses one after another. In front of the military formation, it was empty in an instant, and only some scattered war horses remained, and they stopped alone.
The battle on both flanks continued, the Han cavalry frantically chased the Chu army, and the Chu cavalry, who bypassed this army formation, the next target to flee was the infantry battalion in the rear.
"Change formation, retreat." Bai Xizhong knew the other party's purpose, but now he was helpless, and the infantry of the Chu army slowly retreated, turning their formation into an inverted triangle and retreating in the direction of their own camp.
In the dark night, the panicked Chu army fell one after another in front of the trenches, and in the large camp, the 20,000 Chu troops who were still left behind set up a battle in the camp, bed crossbows, stone cannons and other heavy weapons, kept pouring into the sound of horses' hooves outside the camp.
They couldn't tell whether it was friendly troops or Han cavalry that came in the dark.
As the sky became brighter, the 20,000 infantry led by Bai Xizhong finally slowly retreated to the location of their large camp, which was safe and sound, but outside the large camp was like a Shura field, and the corpses of men and horses were all over the place, including the Chu army and the Han army, but the vast majority were Chu people. The first trench outside the camp had been almost filled in by the corpses of men and horses.
The Han cavalry did not leave, standing outside the camp, he could clearly see that at the end of the field of vision, the yellow dragon flag of the Han army was still fluttering, and the Han cavalry seemed to be repairing, and when they licked their wounds, would the next target be themselves?
Returning to the white tin of the big camp, he began to arrange the next battle, and the cavalry that served as his own peripheral protection was finished, although after dawn, the scattered Chu cavalry continued to return, and he also gathered a lot of stragglers along the way, but 10,000 cavalry, in the best case, at most, only half of them returned to the camp. Quite a few also lost their horses, lost their weapons, and more importantly, lost their confidence in fighting the Han cavalry.
Without the protection of the cavalry, he would have been crucified here, and no infantry could march forward under the watchful eye of the powerful enemy cavalry.
"Did you send a rescue message to a friendly army?" He asked the lieutenant next to him.
"We've already set off, and if all goes well, our cavalry will arrive at the most this afternoon." The adjutant replied.
Another big defeat, Bai Xizhong looked at the Yellow Dragon Banner flying high in the wind in the distance, how did the Han cavalry hide from their own scouts lurking over?
After breakfast in the camp, the scouts sent out also returned, and the Han people did not seem to care about these scouts at all, and did not even have the most basic warning, allowing these scouts to arrive close to reconnoitre, and then return safely.
"They're making sandbags and cutting down trees?" Hearing the scout's answer, Bai Xizhong was a little confused, could it be that these more than 10,000 cavalry really wanted to attack their own camp with their current strength? It turned out that in Bai Xizhong's imagination, the other party's biggest possibility was to crucify himself here, which was their limit. But now it seems that the enemy does not think so.
It seems to confirm Bai Xizhong's thoughts, an hour later, the banner of the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division appeared outside the camp, and in the terrible sound of the military trumpet, the enemy galloped in horseback, quickly approached the camp, and when he approached the camp, he threw out the dirt bags on the horseback by horsepower, and in the sound of clicking, sandbags fell into the trench.
The distance between the Han cavalry and the cavalry was very open, and the crossbow arrows in the camp had a very limited hit rate on their shots, and the large-scale coverage shots were above this distance, even if they hit, they could only scratch the opponent, and Bai Xizhong could only watch the opponent recklessly bury the trenches around the camp.
Half an hour later, the attackers were replaced by the Xiongnu Independent Cavalry Division.
"Report!" Several scouts rushed from a distance, and Pegasus arrived in front of Gu Li and Agu Huaien, "The cavalry on the left wing of the Chu army and the cavalry of the Chinese army, totaling 20,000 cavalry, are rapidly approaching us, and they are less than ten miles away from us. ”
Gu Li laughed, "Half a day's work was not in vain, and finally succeeded in luring them all over, General Agu, let's do it according to the previous plan, can your brother withstand it?" ”
"What's so unbearable about Donghu Erlang, besides, haven't you already let them sleep for half a day today? Now that I've eaten and drunk enough, it's time to throw off my arms and do a big job. Agu Huaien laughed, a successful battle last night wiped out at least thousands of cavalry of the Chu army, which was already a rare victory. At this moment, they are about to embark on a big detour, and even if the tactical action of the big detour does not succeed in the end, it is enough to have this victory at the bottom.
"Move fast, now we are going to grab time with the opponent, the distance of the opponent's cavalry retreat is half shorter than ours, but they can't leave the right flank quickly, we must confirm that we have gone far, in addition, the cavalry of the Chu army does not dare to hurry up at night, this is our advantage, from now on, we will spend it on horseback, tomorrow at noon, we will rush to the left flank and defeat their left flank infantry, General Agu, looking for 40,000 people!"
"As long as they don't cower in the camp, so that they don't have a chance to form a dense phalanx, 40,000 people, what's so terrible?" Agu Wynn sneered.
"Now, even if they form a strong phalanx, we have a way to deal with it, and the key is to prevent them from building a well-defended position." Guli burst out laughing. Jumped on the horse: "Sons, go!" ”
Tens of thousands of cavalry, like a flood, roared in, but whistled away, and in the blink of an eye, they ran away without a trace, leaving the Chu army with only a mess.
As Gu Li expected, the two cavalry that came to help did not dare to leave in a hurry, after making sure that these two Han cavalry had indeed stayed away, it would take time, the cavalry on the right flank had been beaten to half-crippled, and they also needed to divide a part of the men and horses to strengthen the protection of the right flank, since the Han cavalry focused on the target of the attack on Bai Xizhong's army, they naturally had to take all precautions.
At this time, no one thought that the real target of this Han cavalry was the infantry battalion on the left flank. (To be continued.) )
