Chapter 180: Fight (1)
The Sui army, under the leadership of Li Po, fled cleanly and magnificently.
Li Po is also very familiar with escaping.
When he returned to the Great Sui, he fled back, and after entering Mayi, he desperately escaped from the camp of the camp.
When he was in Liaodong, he escaped perfectly.
If Li Po can think back at this time, he will definitely feel that he is very unlucky, every time, he hides around, but he can always skillfully stand on the side of the tragedy and make himself extremely embarrassed.
This escape was a small half a day, and Li Po didn't care how many people he was chasing.
In fact, there is no need to care too much about this, the sound of trumpets in the steppe is constantly sounding behind them, it is the Turkic scouts indicating their direction.
Night finally came, and although he knew that the steppe tribes would not usually attack at night, he did not dare to let people stop and camp.
Because then the Turks are likely to form an encirclement of them on this night.
Well, the word encirclement is also not very commonly used in the steppe wars, unless there is a huge difference in the number of people on both sides to make the encirclement a reality.
Therefore, in the war of the steppe tribes, there will be almost no war of annihilation, and there will always be some fish that slip through the net.
This is also the reason why the Turkic khans can still run to the Great Sui to seek refuge once they fail, not because their opponents don't want to kill them, but because they can't kill them all.
Of course, it's hard to shake off when you're stuck to someone.
Just like now, the Turkic cavalry chased after them, like tarsal bones.
Li Po estimated that if he wanted to take them off, he would have to run for two or three days in a row. This is still because the war horses of the Sui army can now guarantee one person, two horses or three horses, otherwise. Just wait until you get to Liaodong.
As for how the golden wolf banner of the Turkic Khan appeared here...... To hell with it, it's useless to think so much. Who knows what kind of wind the Turks smoked, and they were not afraid that someone would come and kill the Khan first.
The Turkic Khan Guard, it should be called attachment, right? It shouldn't be too easy to deal with, damn, isn't this similar to the Xiaoguo next to the emperor?
Li Po waved his arms and told the cavalry to slowly stop because he finally had a decision.
"Liu Jing, Liu Jing, hurry up."
The night on the prairie was dark. The moonlight sprinkled down, and it looked quite clear, but in fact, the darkness was so dark that it was almost impossible to see anything.
It's not night blindness, it's the effect of the night that belongs to the grasslands......
Soon, Liu Jing, a dog-headed military division among the grassland horse bandits, came over.
"Tomorrow morning, go separately, and you will lead two hundred men. Laugh a fart, let the two brigade commanders lead the troops, you are the guide, you know where the woods we passed that day are, right? Let's meet up when we get there. Those who arrive first should drag around the forest first, and don't walk around. You know? ”
"Join the army, we should go south, right?"
"You're stupid. Who is it that the Turks followed us into the Great Wall? Is it you who lose your head or am I who lose your head? ”
"Go, call all the brigade commanders."
Five brigade commanders. Soon gathered around Li Po.
"There won't be too many people chasing after you, let's go separately, after more than a day, converge in front, if the Turks don't chase over, that's it, if you chase over, and divide the troops to chase, then I will lead you to fight."
"Go, it's not easy to stay up for two days and two nights, let's recuperate right away......"
The Sui army continued to advance in the night, whether it was fleeing or pursuing, in the grassland, it was very difficult, so the will would become very important.
Li Po didn't know if after a day, these Sui soldiers would still be able to fight the enemy, or they would collapse first.
This was a test of his ability to lead the troops, and likewise, it was also a test of the fighting will of the Sui army.
If you get through it, you can be reborn, and if you can't get through it, you can only escape like a lost dog.
In Li Po's view, this is simply a copy of the battles he experienced in the Battle of Liaodong.
The difference is that this time, it was luck and the desire to survive that supported everyone to go on, and this time, the most important thing was the desire to fight.
The next day, the sky was light, and the trumpets of the Turks sounded one after another, Li Po was a little lucky, and sure enough, the Turks wanted to surround them at night.
The Turkic scouts behind were no longer visible, but as long as the trumpets were still sounding, it meant that the Turks were pursuing.
The Turkic scouts should soon catch up.
At this time, some characteristics of the steppe cavalry warfare had gradually been revealed, and the invisible enemy made the vast grassland look dangerous.
This is a completely different mode of operation from the Henan War and the Liaodong War.
Before the sun showed its face, the grassland slowly became brighter, and the speed of the Sui army immediately accelerated, and it was divided into two teams, one to the northeast and the other to the southeast, galloping away.
Although Li Po was cautious and never willing to take too many risks, at this moment, the soldier's intuition and judgment of the situation made him choose to divide his troops without hesitation and prepare to counterattack.
It didn't take long for Li Po to know that the Turks had divided their troops, and the sound of the horn was divided into two groups.
Well, the Turks are still very domineering, they seem to have the same self-confidence, not asking how many enemies there are, only asking where the enemy is.
Of course, Li Po didn't know that the Turks were enraged, and the pride of the Khan Guards was the reason why they were so reluctant to pursue the enemy who hurt them.
That's right, the Turks chasing behind the Sui army are the attachments of the Turkic Khan, one of the most elite military brigades among the Turks.
Then, it was a rather boring and long simple chase, and the Sui army drew an arc and ran to the destination.
If it is a simple march, they are likely to have a deviation in direction.
But not this time, after a day and a night, the faint sound of trumpets in the distance made them gallop towards the meeting place quite accurately.
The Turks apparently did not realize what this meant.
It was another night of marching, and even Li Po felt tired, and he had to eat and drink Lazar on his horse, and the taste was unimaginable to ordinary people.
The later Mongolian army, in fact, swept the world with this hard-working style, and no one was invincible.
When Li Po felt that his buttocks were about to swell, a large forest finally appeared in front of him.
They were one step ahead, and the sound of trumpets in both directions was becoming clearer and clearer, and the Turks seemed to understand a little more at this time, and were gradually approaching and preparing to converge.
Li Po made a decision immediately, and did not wait in the woods as promised, but directly led someone to greet him.
The sound of the Turkic trumpets was like a guiding light.
This is really a good thing, I need to get more short horns to use when I go back, why didn't I think of it before?
After a day and a night, the Sui army finally converged on the vast grassland.
"Yu Dalang, take a hundred people up and see how many people are chasing after you."
At the sound of the order, a group of horsemen galloped forward over the men and horses who had come to meet them.
The other Sui troops stopped on the spot, and lined up in the sound of military orders.
The Turkic scouts appeared in the distance, and they were also very tired, they were proud sweat and did not wander up and down the steppes like the low-level herdsmen.
They are brave and fierce, but they also lose some things, such as a strong physique that is not afraid of wind and rain.
Seeing that the Sui army was arrayed, the scout immediately blew a hurried short tone, which was a signal to prepare for battle.
Here, there will be no surprise attacks, but you can avoid the real and break them separately.
Li Po roared hoarsely, "Half an hour, we can only defeat the enemy in half an hour, otherwise we will die here." ”
After repeating it loudly a few times, and no longer having any superfluous nonsense, he finally pulled out the ring knife hidden under the saddle and raised it high, "Come with me." ”
He knocked the horse's belly and rushed out like an arrow.
The sound of the horses' hooves was finally no longer so fast and slow, but became uniform, stepping on the grassland, making a rumbling sound.
"There are not many enemies, there are not many enemies, two or three hundred, two or three hundred, just in front, right in front."
The hundred Sui troops who were released shouted and bypassed the queue and blended into it like a stream.
I saw it, I saw it, there were some black spots in the sky, and there were really not many people, compared with the Sui army, it was almost half of it.
But they didn't have a cunning leader like Li Po, they didn't flee and joined the other side, but chose to fight.
Of course, this decision is not wrong, the enemy who fled like a rabbit reflexively killed back, so that some proud Turks made an inevitable choice.
It's best to stay here and defeat them, and it's not bad to hold on.
In their opinion, the black line surging from the sky is more like the enemy's death-defying counterattack, and they will definitely win.
The Sui people, the despicable Sui people, dressed up as them, ran rampant on the grassland, which was something they could not bear.
Yes, they had already discovered the identities of the fleeing guys in front of them from the enemies they had killed, because they all carried the straight knives that the Sui people were accustomed to.
The Sui were quite familiar with the Turks, and the Turks were equally familiar with this old adversary.
The two not-so-long black lines approached, and there was no doubt that the bow and arrow were the first weapons to be used in cavalry warfare.
A bow sounded, and the Turks on the opposite side raised their bows and arrows almost simultaneously.
The Sui army did not have any advantage in bows and arrows, because they faced the guards of the Turkic Khan, and their bows and arrows were even better than those of the Sui army.
After a burst of fame, the arrows staggered through the air, and then fell with a sharp sound of wind, and the sound of swishing was terrifying.
In the sound of puffing into the flesh, there were unlucky eggs who kept screaming and falling off their horses, and the war horses rolled to the ground with a wail, making a series of broken bones.
This is the symphony of war alone, surging and cruel. (To be continued.) )
