Chapter 764: Marathon Pursuit

Outside the city of Yarkand, the Ming army surrounded on three sides, and kept throwing 10,000 enemies into the city with newly built trebuchets to hit the morale of the defenders in the city.

The tactic of "encircling three queyi" is an extremely vicious move when attacking the city, that is, the four directions of the city wall, fighting in three directions, leaving one of the directions for the enemy to escape.

When attacking the city, whether or not it has the ability to completely annihilate the enemy army, it is necessary to leave a "way out" for the enemy to prevent the enemy from escaping, jumping over the wall in a hurry, resisting desperately, and causing unnecessary casualties to the besieging army.

This tactic is psychological warfare, taking advantage of human nature in the heart of Qiu Sheng, who has tried and tested repeatedly in previous wars, knowing that there is deception, and the enemy has repeatedly fallen for it.

Because in a desperate situation, people will become extremely vulnerable as long as there is hope of survival.

This kind of tactic is what the martial saint grandson said, "attacking the heart is the top, attacking the city is the bottom", the wisdom of the ancestors is worthy of the wise saying.

As for Li Yunlong's fighting style in the TV series, it is very unscientific, the Eighth Route Army fought small Japan with an absolute advantage, engaged in it for so long, sacrificed so much, and lost his mother-in-law, just because Comrade Li Yunlong read less.

The little devil knew that he would die, so he resisted desperately, which made the battle much more difficult and lost many comrades of the Eighth Route Army.

If Li Yunlong had adopted the tactic of encircling three and one, letting the little devils run away, and letting the commander of the second battalion pull the Italian artillery to ambush, the effect would have been better, and after the war, not only would he be able to eat a few more sweet potatoes to burn, but he might not even have his wife saved.

Of course, this is a film and television technique, showing Li Yunlong's personality and the momentum of the Eighth Route Army, if it is placed in reality, punishment is indispensable.

On the road south of Yarkand City, Wang Hui, the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, was wandering in the grove with 3,000 men and horses, and from time to time sent people to inspect whether there were enemy troops breaking through.

Wang Hui is Chinese New Year's Eve five years old today, with a medium-sized and strong stature, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is an old subordinate of Jiang Zhu, the deputy governor of the capital, and a former guerrilla general in Liaodong.

He has an upright personality and can't rub sand in his eyes, because he couldn't get used to seeing Wu Sanfeng bullying the common people and beating him up, in order to avoid the Wu family's retaliation, he resigned and returned to his hometown in Huizhou Mansion to work as a farmer.

Later, when he met Zhou Yuji's Dingwu Army expansion, he went to join the army, and after several years of meritorious service, Wang Hui was promoted to brigade commander step by step, and became the general of his old boss Jiang Zhu.

The old leader told him that this time the opportunity to ambush is rare, and he must take advantage of it, and whether he can make great contributions to Beijing again depends on this time.

Wang Hui squatted in the grove for a long time, and did not see a single enemy army running out of the city, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious when he saw the army launch a general attack.

These generals of his are also anxious, and they are all complaining that their elite cavalry is wandering around with nothing to do, and is it sincere to bully people? If there is no more fighting, the war will be over.

With his trust in the old leader, Wang Hui still chose to wait, hoping that a big fish would take the initiative to swim over.

At this moment, there was a majestic shout of killing in the distance, and a large force of cavalry came towards the grove.

Wang Hui jumped up excitedly, he took the binoculars, and saw a large number of cavalry in Yarkand costume swarming towards him, holding torches and swords, as if they were charging.

Wang Hui looked left and right, but did not find any other troops.

He couldn't help but wonder, there was no Ming army nearby, what were they doing with a serious charge? Could it be that these guys found themselves in an ambush here?

If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, no matter what, this time I finally got the chance to make a move! And it's not a small battle, let's kill them first!

He immediately ordered his men to go into battle.

The generals and soldiers under Wang Hui who were holding back their panic were also overjoyed, and the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions had finally arrived!

"Sons, kill the enemy with me!"

Wang Hui shouted loudly, and led the three thousand screaming Ming cavalry to rush towards the oncoming Yarkand people!

On horseback, Yarkand Khan Abdullah whipped his horse hard, and the whole person was immersed in the joy of escaping.

However, at this time, he suddenly saw a group of people and horses appearing out of nowhere, and he was dumbfounded: "Where did these guys come from?" ”

The pro-army cavalry around him were also distracted when they saw the Ming army coming from the opposite side.

Abdullah, who had been in the lead, immediately slowed down and began to order a change of direction.

Running away must have the consciousness of running away, but you can't go to Gang, what if the Ming army behind you chases you? The survival rate is worrying under the attack from both sides!

The two sides gradually approached, and seeing the Yarkand cavalry running away in an arc, some people recognized the banner they carried.

"Brigade commander, that's Yarkand Khan's Nine White Silk!"

Nine white threads? Opposite could be Yarkand Khan?

Hearing this, Wang Hui was overjoyed, and chased even harder, if he could intercept the escape of Yarkand Khan Abdullah, capture or kill him, then this credit would be great!

If this guy runs away under his nose, the general who governs the army strictly will definitely not spare himself.

"Capture Abdullah alive!"

"Death too!"

A group of Ming cavalry increased their horsepower, brandished the horizontal knife in their hands, and chased and killed the Yarkand people with red eyes.

God still favors the brothers, and by mistake I met a Khan King, and the salted fish is about to turn over!

The Ming army soon caught up with the rear of the Yarkand cavalry that was turning, and desperately slashed and slashed.

In the face of the menacing Ming army, the Yarkand people who were caught up had no fighting spirit, so they casually waved their knives and slashed a few times and continued to run.

Abdullah, under the desperate protection of the pro-army around him, ran back to the front, leading the crowd, it can be said that the people are running in front and the soul is chasing behind.

He kept looking back at the chasing Ming army, and what frightened him was that he sat down on the green horse with good foot strength, but he couldn't get rid of the pursuit of the Ming army.

Abdullah was in a hurry, Lao Tzu left his wife and children, as well as most of the nobles of the Khanate, to the Ming army, why did he still fucking chase him?

The Ming army didn't give a way to live, and this time they ran out, and the old bottom was lost!

The Ming army continued to chase the panicked Yarkand cavalry, and they did not shout slogans such as "dismount and surrender" or "surrender your guns and don't kill" from beginning to end.

The pursuing Ming soldiers continued to shoot with their guns, and the Yarkand cavalry who were behind the guards were shot and fell down.

Poor Abdullah, who is old, has been running for so long, and his physical strength is gradually unable to keep up, and the mounts under him are almost tired and lying down.

In addition, this road is rugged, and there are constantly Yarkand cavalry around him who are not operating properly, and even the people and horses fall to the ground, and then they are trampled into flesh by the war horses ridden by the Ming soldiers who are pursuing behind them.

When the sky was dark, the two sides ran for many miles, and they had already run out of the original grassland and came to a piece of Gobi.

Both sides couldn't run, one after the other was swaying slowly, the horses were panting, and the cavalry on both sides on the horses were also panting like a game.

The terrain here is inclined from west to east, with an altitude of more than 1,200 meters, and many Ming soldiers are not adapted to this high-altitude environment, and they are persevering with perseverance.

The pursuers of the Ming army bit Abdullah to the death, and sometimes fired a few shots, causing great psychological pressure on the fleeing Yarkand army.
