Chapter 734: Launching a General Attack
The life of a farmer weaver is more stable than that of a life on horseback, and she does not have to travel around all year round.
Dangers on the move are everyday, even when encountering friendly clans coming together.
Because the law of the jungle is the strongest, no one can escape such a law of survival.
The appearance of Ningzhou is surprising, it turns out that the tribal forces are all gathered together, stationed where there is a habitat, and migrated when in danger.
This changed after the advent of the vanguards, because if you had land, you could live, and if you had trade, you would have wealth.
The risks they need to face are reduced, and they should be shared by the vanguards, in addition to life, they have pursuits.
This is the relationship between human needs and spirit, when they are full, they will not worry about eating every day, they will have more time to do other things.
Learn farming, engage in breeding, do business, and consume in exchange for a better material life.
Even if there are natural and man-made disasters, they have the ability to survive.
Ningzhou is a place that other tribes envy and hate, envy because the people of Ningzhou live comfortably and can accumulate wealth, and they hate them for taking refuge in the Sui State.
In fact, in many tribes, there is no difference between taking refuge in Youzhou and relying on the Sui State.
Shibi Khan is still very discerning, not only they have a fancy for Ningzhou, but the vanguard is stationed with 100,000 soldiers and horses, and many tribes will not make it easily.
They all have trade ties, for example, they can exchange wool for grain in Haoningzhou.
When Shibi Khan attacked Ningzhou, he also asked for help from other forces, but unfortunately no one agreed because even if Ningzhou changed hands, they would not be able to benefit.
Shibi Khan doesn't buy wool.
There is no good thing, why do you have to face the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Ningzhou, besides, there are many soldiers and horses in Youzhou, who knows how many people there are in Ningzhou.
No one wants to take any chances.
Shibi Khan is determined to break the net this time, and he can also see that as long as he can defeat Ningzhou, he will come back within three years, and he is so confident.
Shibi Khan's tooth tent, and those who remained in the tooth tent were all his henchmen, and they were all waiting for news from Ningzhou.
Their remaining soldiers and horses are ready, and the soldiers will take over the defense of Ningzhou when they are over.
"Khan, it's better to rest first when it's late, let's just keep it."
Shibi Khan shook his head, he was a little uneasy.
After all, the enemy they had to face was the vanguard, and they did not take advantage of the vanguard, and not only that, but most of the vanguard's horses were from the Turks.
They had robbed them of it, and the thought of these Shibi Khans made me angry.
200,000 Turkic cavalry were blocked, and the fire oil on the battlefield was estimated to be impossible to extinguish every few hours, and the wind was not strong but the smoke made the Turkic cavalry really uncomfortable.
The horses are in a very irritable state.
The ground was full of fire, and the horses had no innate fear, which was simply beyond human control.
The two sides could only stalemate, and the Turkic cavalry was very anxious because they were delayed for time, not to mention tired, and could not rest.
The vanguard was different, and the archers rested and rested.
"The Turks retreated."
The morale of the vanguard on the battlefield was greatly boosted, and the soldiers were screaming.
"The general is not good, when our side retreated, it was attacked by the vanguard, and the way back was blocked."
"What?"
The blocking of the back road worries the generals.
"How many people are on the other side?"
"I can't count it, it's a lot of people."
The 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Li Jing were all elite, and the original idea was to take advantage of their unpreparedness to sneak attack, but now they are blocking the enemy's rear road.
Li Jing, the defense of Ningzhou, knew everything clearly, and had long thought that there would be such a result, so he asked people to cut down trees during the day, and at this time they were all used to block the road.
The pioneers were very skilled in building fortifications, and it was very difficult for horses to cross the piles of wood that were piled up with nearly one and a half meters of wood.
They want to destroy stake fortifications unless their knives can be used as saws.
The reason for such achievements is that the vanguard relies on saws and shovels.
Dig anti-burying piles, and set up obstacles for logging.
When the battle was fierce in front of them, they were ready.
Li Jing understood that what they were doing was racing against time, and they began to be vigilant after the fortifications were completed.
When the Turks appeared, all 30,000 cavalrymen were armed with bows and arrows, and they carried a large number of arrows, and the same trick was fired by tens of thousands of arrows.
The Turkic cavalry no longer has much fighting spirit, mainly because they are too aggrieved, although there may be arrows flying in the sky.
Their armor really had no way to deal with the vanguard's armor-piercing arrows.
If you are attacked by the enemy in your abdomen and back, can you not be aggrieved?
Seeing that the Turks had not withdrawn, Hebida knew that Li Jing had moved, and within range of the archers, he ordered the attack to continue.
Arrows are used without reservation.
When the day was almost dawn, the Turkic soldiers and horses had already withdrawn, and beyond the range of the archers, they could not retreat and could only endure the invasion of thick smoke.
All night they breathed with a damp cloth wrapped in water.
There is no better word to describe physical and mental exhaustion.
More than 200,000 soldiers and horses lost several thousand men in this battle, and many more were wounded and wounded by arrows.
Tens of thousands of people have been wounded in this way, there is not enough medicine, not to mention that they are treated with witch doctors, and there is no science at all.
The Turkic generals knew that these wounded people looked fine now, and their condition could be serious at any time.
In fact, it is easy to get infected.
"General, we can rush out at dawn."
They waited for the dawn, and in the darkness they were passive.
"The Vanguard is really rich."
The Turkic generals saw that the arrows they had collected had piled up into a mountain.
Everyone can divide at least fifty, which is still not enough.
But they had to act during the day, how could Hebida give them a chance, the sky was cloudy, the oil and plants on the ground were almost burned, and 50,000 vanguard soldiers launched an attack.
Fifty chariots took the lead, making a detour to avoid the trap and launch a surprise attack.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack."
The Turkic generals were going crazy, and they were just about to break out of the siege when the pursuers appeared, and according to the news of the scouts, the vanguard actually had a path, and the purpose of not using it at night was to let them be smoked.
Looking at their appearance, even if it is a general, their bodies are all black and gray, and they will all smell mushy.
Not to mention people, the horses are all out of shape.
With the sound of drums, the Turkic generals gathered their troops and decided to fight with them.
The chariots that charged into the array blended into the array, and the huge fans terrified the hearts of the cavalry, and the charge of so many chariots directly caused the enemy to collapse.
Hebida ordered the vanguard to begin a general assault.
50,000 versus 200,000, it seems that there is a huge disparity in strength, but don't forget that there are 30,000 soldiers and horses behind, flanking from front to back.
