In the evening, the two sides lined up.

The middle road, due to the long traffic, is relatively flat. Both sides are full of the Gobi Desert, which can be ridden by horse, but there are quite a lot of stones and potholes.

Wang Yuan's main formation was 2,000 Han cavalry and 2,000 Mongolian cavalry, and 1,000 cavalry were sent to outflank each on the left and right.

Before the outflanking was completed, the Turpan cavalry rushed up directly. Without any fancy movements, and without guarding the two wings, more than 4,000 horsemen rushed straight to Wang Yuan's main formation, and drew their swords and charged with an arrow halfway.

The general of Turpan is named Ma Heima, and he is another general under Man Suer.

He was supposed to be stationed in Huozhou, but because there was an abnormal movement in the small column in the north, he was ordered to lead 2,000 cavalry to garrison Chiting. As a result, as soon as he led the army to Bi Remnant (Shanshan), he heard that the area around Chiting had been plundered, so he gathered cavalry along the way to catch up.

Eight thousand miscellaneous soldiers, Ma Heima was not afraid, he thought that his four thousand cavalry was enough to crush him.

The truth is not far off.

Because Ma Heima's attack was too fast, and there were prisoners and grain and grass in Wang Yuan's rear, our Wang Erlang could only order the charge in advance. You can't retreat, you can't change formations, and you don't have time to wait for the flanks to outflank.

Both sides were dominated by Mongol cavalry, but neither chose to shoot on horseback, and at the same time chose to charge forward.

The horse black hemp belongs to a long-distance pursuit, and the war horse does not have the extra physical strength to ride around in a circle. Behind Wang Yuan were prisoners and goods, and they were a patchwork of troops that had been put together improvised, fearing that they would lose their organization if they shot.

In the process of charging each other, each released an arrow, and each injured each other.

When they were about sixty paces apart, the Turpan cavalry accelerated their charge, while the cavalry led by Wang Yuan subconsciously slowed down. This directly proves the morale gap between the two sides, Wang Yuan's side obviously has the advantage of troops, but he is already a little cowardly in his heart, and it is likely to collapse at the moment when he is about to engage the enemy.

Wang Yuan was deliberately suppressing the horse's speed to keep the formation neat. But just when he gave the order to speed up the charge, he found that his troops were slowing down, and he immediately felt bad, and immediately drew his sword and shouted: "Wang Erlang is here, kill the enemy with me!" ”

"Kill!" Zhu Dangshu's blood surged, and he immediately urged the horse to gallop.

Zhu Ying and Zhang Wei were very cowardly, they had never experienced such a scene of cavalry hedging, and they unconsciously had a cowardly mentality. As soon as they slowed down, the troops behind them also slowed down, and at this time, they were inspired by Wang Yuan's actions, so they accelerated a little.

Wang Yuan ran faster and faster, Yuan Da and Zhu Dangshu followed closely, and the three of them had already broken away from their own formation.

I'm so tired, to fight the thieves in Gyeonggi, Wang Yuan needs to raise his gun in front. Now that you're in the Western Regions, you have to take the lead, otherwise the group of cowards behind you will definitely collapse.

Of course, there are exceptions, and Mulan leads hundreds of horsemen, and also charges at full speed at dozens of paces. This thing can be a slave, just turned twenty years old to be promoted to the fire man, it is impossible not to be brave and good at fighting!

When there were only more than ten steps left between the two sides, most of the cavalry led by Wang Yuan were forced to accelerate their charge, and now it was too late to fight.

But there are also some cavalry, always slowing down and watching, gradually falling to the rear, and sweeping directly to the flank to save their lives before engaging the enemy. Among them, most of them are those vassal tribes, such as the troops of Timur and Tuba, who are not even the Seven Guards of the Kansai Empire, they belong to the small tribes under the jurisdiction of the Seven Guards of the Kansai Empire, and they are forced to fight.

Wang Yuan led 4,000 cavalry to charge into battle, but before he could meet the enemy, more than 800 cavalry left the formation. If he hadn't taken the lead and behaved fearlessly, he would probably have been crushed in a flash.

The temporary conscription of the miscellaneous troops is so unbeaten!

Wang Yuan went straight to the enemy general Ma Heima, this guy was dressed differently, he was very well equipped, and he was obviously protected by personal guards.

The cavalry on both sides lowered their bodies, dragged their weapons to the side, and only took advantage of the situation when they met the enemy.

Riding on a horse and slashing, that's, only used in pursuit. Don't dare to mess around with the head-on hedge, slashing will only consume more physical strength, and increase your attack area, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be shocked by the force.

Horses are spiritual, and when they are about to engage the enemy, they are reluctant to move forward, and must be forced to charge by cavalry. Untrained war horses are likely to get out of control at this time and won't even listen to their masters.

"Bang bang bang!"

From time to time, there was a sound of collision, which was the sound of car accidents coming from the cavalry on both sides without haste.

But most of the cavalry entered through the gap between the two formations, and used their knives to provoke the enemy or war horses next to them.

Wang Yuan was the first to engage the enemy, and faced two scimitars on the left and right at the same time. He had no room to dodge, so he gave up the reins, parried one side attack with his scabbard, and then picked up the dragon sparrow knife to cut off the wrist of another enemy.

The Dragon Sparrow Knife, much longer than the enemy's scimitar!

One knife is pulled out, and then a circle is drawn in the air, and the second knife is split diagonally downward. Wang Yuan's speed was so fast that he slashed at the opponent's armpit, and it was difficult for the armor to defend there. At the same time, Wang Yuan leaned to the right, narrowly avoiding the scimitar on the other side, but his clothes were still cut, revealing the chain mail inside.

Zhu Dangshu and Yuan Da behind him were stabbed at the same time, but fortunately, they were all wearing chain mail.

Wang Yuan's second knife slashed, and the third knife slashed up again, hitting the neck of the enemy's horse. The horse lost control under the pain and swept the Turpan cavalry away.

There are no superfluous tricks, just pick up, slash, pry, slash again, and repeat, just like drawing a circle with a knife.

In just an instant, Ma Heima's personal guards were overturned by Wang Yuan's right hand, his right armpit, and his horse. The first two are almost equal to losing their combat effectiveness, and the last one is trampled into meat sauce when it lands.

"Dang!"

The two lords will finally meet.

Ma Heima's scimitar was directly cut off by the Dragon Sparrow Knife. But that's all, the two have already crossed by mistake and continue to fight forward.

At the end of the first encounter, the two sides switched positions, leaving a corpse in between.

One of the four thousand troops in Wang Yuan's own formation was defeated on the spot by the Turpan cavalry, all of which were caused by cowardice.

In addition, the thousand-man team responsible for outflanking the two wings has already charged at this moment.

Ma Heima was shocked and angry, with his perennial combat experience, this kind of miscellaneous cavalry in front of him must have been completely defeated in front of him. As long as the enemy's own position is defeated, the troops on both flanks must also be defeated, as he often did with the cavalry of the small column.

But Wang Yuan was so brave that he rode into his personal guards, killing and wounding several of his personal guards in a row, and cutting off his scimitar.

This situation caused the cavalry behind Wang Yuan, as if they had beaten adrenaline, to kill Ma Heima's headquarters cavalry.

At this time, the 2,000 horsemen who were in charge of outflanking the left and right arrived, and the killing horse Heima did not dare to stop at all, so he could only continue to advance at full speed. The hundreds of cavalry who ran slowly were directly eaten by the left and right flanking attacks, and there was no room to fight back at all.

During the charge, more than 800 cavalry of the vassal clan escaped, and when they saw this situation, they also ran back to take advantage, and chased Ma Heima's ass wildly.

Li Ying, who was in charge of leading two thousand cavalry to escort the prisoners, had already gathered his troops to turn around and sweep the formation at this time, and Ma Heima was rushing straight with the remnants.

Li Sanlang was a little scared while being excited, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Kill the thief with me!" ”

There is an interception in front, and there are pursuers in the rear.

After breaking away from the enemy troops on both flanks, Ma Heima immediately fled sideways. With such a change of direction, the speed will inevitably slow down, and hundreds of tails will be eaten in an instant.

Of the more than 4,000 horsemen brought by Ma Heima, there were only more than 1,000 horses left at the moment, and they fled on the Gobi Desert. Due to too many stones and uneven potholes, people sometimes turn over on their backs, so they can only be forced to slow down their escape.

Ma Heima regrets it to death now, he knew that the other party was so difficult, and he chased a fart for a long time.

But Kansai Qiwei is very easy to deal with, he has long been killed by Turpan and has no courage, which time was not a rush? Even if it is led by a strong general, it is impossible to change so much.

Quite simply, Wang Yuan has 3,000 Han cavalry under his command, and he has been training continuously since last autumn. There are also 2,000 Ordos Mongolian horsemen, although they belong to the lost dogs, they are experienced in a hundred battles with the little Mongolian prince in the Hetao for several years. In addition, hundreds of Turpan cavalry led by Ya Mulan were also fierce.

These more than 5,000 cavalry are Wang Yuan's real reliance, and the cavalry of the Guanxi Seven Guards is purely a number.

Ma Heima only had to flee for his life, but they pursued for a long time, and gradually the physical strength of the war horse could not keep up. On the other hand, Wang Yuan was much better, because he had to escort prisoners and goods, and the speed of the march was very slow, and the war horses had enough physical strength to pursue.

Finally, Ma Heima was ruthless, and shouted: "Stop the horse, slow down, fight back!" ”

The guards all reined in their horses and fought back, and the cavalry gathered along the way did not listen to the command at all, and even began to scatter and flee.

And at the moment when they slowed down and turned around, Wang Yuan had already led his troops to kill. While he had just turned around, he was in a state of pursuit, almost drowning Ma Heima like a whirlwind.

Wang Yuan slashed out with a sword, directly chopped off Ma Heima's head and flew up, and then shouted in the broken Mongolian he had just learned: "The thief is dead, surrender quickly!" ”

What happened to Wang Yuan's surprise, the remaining guards of Ma Heima were still resisting stubbornly, and few surrendered until they were killed.

Of course, the rest of the Turpan cavalry were not so brave. Either surrender or flee, and in the end there were more than 200 horsemen who surrendered, and another 500 or 600 horsemen scattered in the vast Gobi Desert.

Wang Yuan was both happy and worried.

I am happy because there are more than 20,000 cavalry in Turpan, and nearly 4,000 were directly eaten by him today, which is simply a gift from God. If you deduct the young men who were killed near Chiting City, Turpan can still mobilize 15,000 horsemen if you die, and it will be much easier to fight in the future.

The worry comes from Ma Heima's personal guards, this is an ancient cavalry, can the morale not be so high?

Clean up the battlefield and count casualties.

Wang Yuan harvested many war horses and armor, and also harvested more than 2,000 casualties, including more than 1,000 fallen soldiers!

Wang Yuan's heart was dripping blood, and he only had more than 8,000 cavalry in total.

"Which ones just fled? Stand up for me yourself! "Wang Yuan wants to be angry and powerful.

But those who did not retreat from the battle were all angry at this time, and the more than 800 horsemen could only come out to be punished. There is no way to deny it, because they all use the tribe as a unit to avoid the war, and only a few belong to the unauthorized escape.

Wang Yuan glanced at it and found that it was all the cavalry of the domain, that is, the servant army of the Seven Guards of Guanxi.

"Very good," Wang Yuan sneered, "On this expedition, your rewards are gone, and the spoils of war are not your share!" If you dare to run away next time, don't blame me for being ruthless! Also, all of you leaders, let me go back to the tribe, and the soldiers will be handed over to the command of the guard! ”

Wang Yuan's troops were too small to dare to kill people indiscriminately, because one kill was a piece.

Depriving the deserters of their spoils of war and depriving the deserter leaders of their command is a more appropriate punishment.

It was getting late, Wang Yuan camped on the spot to rest, and at the same time sent hundreds of cavalry to shoot the battle report into Chiting City. Annihilated four thousand Turpan horsemen, the fire-slasher Ma Heima, was enough for Chiting City to be frightened and not dare to move.

And this news will most likely reach Xiao Liebald, and it is time for Xiao Liebald to come out to burn and loot.

Let's take turns plundering, don't let Turpan rest, let's see how full speed children cope.

At full speed, of course it was blown up, and the nobles of Turpan were also blown up.

This kind of war machine with chaotic internal affairs is majestic when the wind is smooth, and once there is a setback, the first thing that is exposed is internal contradictions.
