Chapter 233: The Haunting Light Cavalry
The cavalry of the Han army may not be as skilled in cavalry shooting as the Tartars during the march, but their bows and arrows are sharp and have a longer range, and the Wuhuan iron cavalry running forward has no time to turn, and the commander of the thousand is unable to deal with the opponent running at high speed for a while, and when he is hesitating whether to slow down and turn around or turn around, the enemy's arrows fly, and dozens of Wuhuan people are shot down from their horses, and then trampled to death by the horses behind.
The 300 Han light cavalry were divided into two teams, like two rats around the elephant and shooting around, they would never get close to the iron cavalry, nor would they shoot head-on, they didn't care about the 20,000 Wuhuan iron cavalry behind them, they only concentrated on devouring the 800 Wuhuan iron cavalry one bite at a time.
Commander Wuhuan finally led the cavalry to turn around, but because the speed of the iron cavalry was far inferior to that of the opponent, the three hundred "Beiyi" cavalry once again avoided their front. As a last resort, Commander Wuhuan ordered the cavalry to form a battle back to back, facing the enemy with frontal armor.
In the face of 300 light cavalry, the 800 iron cavalry had to abandon the cavalry's combat method and turn to back-to-back defense, and it was a shame for the cavalry to save their lives in this humiliating way.
Wu Lijian was furious, and ordered three teams of 1,000 people to surround the 300 light cavalry from three directions, but at this time, Li Yuan immediately asked people to raise the yellow flag. The yellow flag represents the meaning of retreat, and another cavalry led by Zhang Xiaowu quickly fled eastward after receiving the order, and they broke away from the encirclement and rain of arrows by breaking through at high speed.
In this battle, the Han light cavalry only lost half of the arrows, and the Wuhuan people were only shot and killed dozens of people, but more than 100 Wuhuan cavalry fell from their horses and were trampled to death and dragged to death, in addition to more than 100 people still with arrow wounds on their bodies, and returned to the camp in embarrassment.
However, this battle dealt a heavy blow to the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry, because when facing the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry, this group of "Beiyi people" gave everyone a very important reference, the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry could not beat the rangers, and everyone magnified the weakness of the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry's low speed.
Wu Lilu was dumbfounded, turned to Urkanha in disbelief, and said, "We failed? ”
"It's not a complete failure."
"That's a failure, too."
Urkanha smiled bitterly and sighed: "What makes me unbelievable is that they, not a single dead or wounded, all of them fled. ”
The Beiyi army resounded bursts of applause, they were emotional and high-spirited, and even sang Beiyi folk songs in unison to help the three hundred people. The morale of the Beiyi army was high, and they drew their swords one after another, and as soon as the general gave the order, they would rush into the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry formation and kill them.
But Park Hyunyeol was unmoved, the 300 light cavalry was different from the 100,000 foot soldiers, these 300 light cavalry took advantage of the mobility, but if it was 100,000 foot soldiers, they would definitely be trampled by the Wuhuan iron cavalry. The three hundred light horsemen left with one blow, and the Wuhuan people did not suffer much damage, and the battle was won or lost.
But he found a way to threaten the Wuhuan people from the passivity of the Wuhuan, and quickly ordered his generals to lead 5,000 cavalry to move to the northwest, trying to go around the back of the Wuhuan people to threaten them.
Wu Liqi began to hesitate.
Park Hyun-yeol also sent an envoy to tell U Li-chun: "Don't stop the army's thoughts, if you fight to the death, the two armies will die together." Our 300 cavalry killed and wounded the Wuhuan iron armor without any damage, which proved that even the Wuhuan iron cavalry could not stop our army from returning. ”
Wu Lilu thought about it again and again, and finally decided to let it go, these Beiyi people who wanted to go home were really crazy.
The 100,000 Beiyi army passed through the position of the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry in a grand manner, and quickly moved towards the hometown in the northeast, just passing by the battlefield that had just been killed, the Beiyi soldiers couldn't help but admire, and they didn't know who led the 300 Beiyi cavalry, and they were so brave that they could be called the heroic legends of the Beiyi people.
The Wuhuan army also withdrew to the Yashan camp, and the Wuhuan king Wuri Ralai did not punish Wu Liluo, in exchange for him, he could not make up his mind to do something to the Beiyi people, but after this trip, the alliance between Wuhuan and the Beiyi people was officially confessed, and from then on, the two sides faced each other again, and they were enemies of life and death.
And the Inuyi alliance that surrounded Jincheng was really ripped open after the Beiyi army withdrew, and the Inuyi siege plan was not broken, and the coalition army was shocked and scattered, especially when they heard that the Wuhuan iron cavalry was cracked by the three hundred Beiyi cavalry, the Wuhuan people actually watched the Beiyi people leave from their own front, and they inevitably had doubts about Wuhuan's ability. After the Tatar people and the Beiyi people withdrew their troops and left, the encirclement suddenly became chaotic.
Ruan Thanh Van went back and forth between the camp and Jincheng, and brought a request from Jincheng, Gu Yong hoped that Zhang Xiaowu could take away three thousand wounded, and Zhang Xiaowu agreed after thinking about it. He asked Ruan Qingwen to tell Gu Yong that there were not many military doctors in Mucheng, and he didn't know how many of the 3,000 wounded would be able to be treated and survive.
"Jincheng has finally seen the light of day." Ruan Qingwen said excitedly.
"They just take a breath more, and if they want to come back to life, they need Wu Huan's nod." Zhang Xiaowu looked at Yashan from afar, worried in his heart.
Su Yu has been staying in the camp of the Wuhuan people for half a month, not so much staying there, but being imprisoned. The Wuhuan people are not as stupid as they think, and they are even smarter than many Han Chinese, knowing what to prioritize and how to weigh the pros and cons.
Su Yu did not impress the Wuhuan people, and the Wuhuan people also found that the reason for the withdrawal of the troops of the Tartar Pagoda and Beiyi was actually that the Han people were making trouble. But they thought that it was Li Cunyi in Jincheng who took advantage of the chaos to attack and make trouble, and they didn't realize that these elusive cavalry were Mucheng cavalry.
Wuhuan sent an army to encircle and suppress Zhang Xiaowu, but the Mucheng cavalry was elusive, and the Wuhuan people just spent a lot of effort, but they didn't get anything.
Under the stalemate, in the second half of April, the Shengfan people suddenly withdrew their troops, and the interracial alliance was about to collapse, and they began to go their separate ways.
The camp of the Shengfan people was set up between the Yatar and the Beiyi, and the evacuation of the Yatar and Beiyi led to a continuous decline in the popularity of the Shengfan people. Born in the southwest road, the Shengfan people live in hot areas, and their combat effectiveness plummets after coming to Saibei, but they follow the Wuhuan people every time, and they are the most loyal and obedient servants of the Wuhuan people.
Hearing the news of the withdrawal of the Shengfan people, the Wuhuan people couldn't believe it, and the Wuhuan people asked the reason, and then they understood that the reason why the Shengfan people had to evacuate was because of the sudden outbreak of an amazing locust plague in the country.
Although last year was the coldest winter in nearly 100 years, the place where the country was born was hot and dry, and the rain and snow caused the land to be fertile, and nearly a thousand miles of desert turned into grass flats. When the grass was abundant, the number of locusts gradually increased, and in just one month, it evolved into a huge locust plague.
Shengfan is a small country, and they can't afford such a serious locust plague, so Shengban has to withdraw his troops and return to the country to rescue. Although the Wuhuan people did not agree, the locust plague was very likely to lead to the death of the country, and they had no choice, so they would rather offend the Wuhuan than insist on withdrawing their troops.
