Chapter 314: Coming to Protect the Child's Distress
、、、、、、、、、、
Chi Wen no longer hesitated at the moment, turned around and shouted with wide eyes: "Turkic warriors! Let's work harder, and rushing through this trench will be victory! As long as you break through the defense of the Sui army in front of you, there will be countless treasures and silver silks waiting for you, and those Han people who have fled south will become your slaves, and the women of the Han will be ravaged and picked by you! If it's a man, don't be afraid of this ditch, rush over to me! ”
His words aroused the ferocity of the Turkic cavalry, and the Turks used cavalry against infantry in field battles, how could they have suffered such a great loss? For so many years, the Turkic cavalry had never lost to the Sui infantry in field battles.
"Rush!"
The Turkic cavalry roared and rushed towards the ditch in desperation, not caring that they would be trapped in the ditch and become a target for the Sui archers.
And the ferocity of the Turkic cavalry also inspired the courage of the cavalry of all the tribes of the steppe, and their masters were desperate, and they did not dare to fight soy sauce anymore. What's more, Tuli also led 10,000 of the most elite golden wolf army to supervise the battle behind his back. As soon as anyone retreats timidly, they are immediately beheaded.
Then they also howled, and pounced like hungry wolves.
In this way, the pressure on Laihu'er suddenly increased. Because it took only more than two hours to dig this ditch hastily, only the width and length were paid attention to, but it was not deep, only one zhang deep. As long as more men and corpses fill in, the ditch will soon be filled.
He didn't expect Shibi Khan to disregard the life and death of his subordinates so much, and insisted on using human lives to break through his defensive lineup......
……
On a small hill about two miles away from the battlefield of the two armies of Laihuer and Chiwen, Yu Juluo was observing the situation on the battlefield with his military advisor Yang Gongqing.
Seeing that the Turkic army had been pressed on a large scale, Yujura said with a solemn expression: "It seems that Shibi Khan is desperate, and he is determined to break through our defenses here at all costs. ”
Yang Gongqing nodded, and said worriedly: "Duji is now in the midst of a two-sided battle, the Yanmen Pass is strong, and there are 100,000 forbidden troops under the command of the Holy Lord guarding it, and he can't break it in a hurry. And our 170,000 infantry has arrived, and if he does not defeat us, he will be caught in the predicament of being flanked from the inside out. So, he must have decided to defeat us first, and then go back to the siege! ”
Yu Juluo frowned, and after thinking for a while, he made a decision: "Gongqing, pass on my order to let Xue Ju and Li Liang outflank the Turkic army from both flanks to relieve the frontal pressure on Laihu'er." At the same time, I will lead the main force to launch an attack on the location of the golden wolf banner of the Turkic Shibi Khan, and force the Turkic army to return to help! ”
With Yujuluo's order, the formation of the Sui army immediately changed, and the heavy infantry teams of Xue Ju and Li Liang, who were on the left and right flanks of Laihu'er, began to attack, and they lined up in a neat formation and rolled over the Turkic cavalry that was attacking Laihu'er's army one after another.
As they walked, they kept firing bows and arrows at the Turkic cavalry. However, since the Turkic army was all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, most of the arrows fired missed.
Shibi Khan was clearly prepared for this, and not long after the Sui army began to launch a counteroffensive, Tuli and another tribal leader, Gesang, each led the cavalry of the Ten Thousand Grasslands to launch a fierce charge against the heavy infantry on the left and right flanks of the Sui army.
In this way, the Sui army is a little difficult.
If Xue Ju and Li Liang still insisted on the attacking Chiwen army, their flanks would be exposed to the front of the 60,000 steppe cavalry, and in this plain area, it would be tantamount to facing a massacre.
"Turn around and prepare to meet the enemy on the flank!"
Xue Ju and Li Liang had no choice but to order to turn the direction of attack and line up a defensive phalanx to resist the sudden killing of the steppe cavalry.
However, to their great surprise, these 60,000 grassland cavalry looked fierce and vicious, and after the battle, they only made a little contact and turned back, they cruised outside the range of the Sui archers, and from time to time they also sent some squads of archers to shoot a few arrows, so that Xue Ju and Li Liang still did not dare to relax.
"Chuluo, it's still your plan! So that the troops on the left and right flanks of the Sui army can no longer support their Chinese army! Shibi Khan looked at the situation on the battlefield with a rare smile on his face.
Chu Luo also stroked the short steel needle-like beard under his chin, and said with a slight smile: "Khan, we should be able to launch a general attack now, right?" ”
Shibi Khan nodded, and immediately ordered a total of 70,000 cavalry from various tribes attached to the Turks to attack the troops of Xue Ju and Li Rail, while the steppe cavalry, which was originally on the two flanks, began to move to the center, following the Turkic cavalry of Chiwen, and continued to storm the Chinese army that came to Hu'er.
Although the motley cavalry of these subordinate Turkic tribes was far inferior to the Turks in combat effectiveness because of their poor equipment and training, they were also cavalry, and they also had bows and arrows, broadswords and spears, and they still had a lot of advantages in fighting the infantry on this plain.
This change caught the Sui army on the left and right flanks a little off guard, and the troops of Xue Ju and Li Liang and the motley cavalry of the various divisions of the steppe soon engaged each other, and the two sides began to fight each other.
Although the Sui army had the upper hand in the quality of the soldiers, and formed a phalanx. But there are no more people in the hero's fight, and others are cavalry, but their own side is infantry, under the siege of the superior number of cavalry, they began to be a little unsupported, and gradually retreated.
At this moment, the situation of the Zhonglai Guardian Army is already extremely urgent. Although they fought bravely and tenaciously. But at this moment, the ditch in front has long been filled by the corpses of the Turkic army, and the infantry phalanx of Laihu'er has begun to engage with the Turkic cavalry.
On the plains, the cavalry had a great impact on the infantry, and the cavalry could not only slash the infantry with their weapons, but also let the horses under them trample the enemy.
Although Laihu'er had already ordered his spear and shield soldiers, he set up a defensive formation in front of him and waited for it. However, when these Turkic cavalry rushed into the phalanx of the Sui army, they still caused heavy casualties to the Sui soldiers.
The Sui army was full of pikemen and shield soldiers in the first few columns, and they had been fighting for a long time, and had always maintained a neat formation, waiting for the battle, holding a gun in one hand and a shield all the time, without even a moment's buffer rest.
Although the Turkic army also fought continuously, they were cavalry after all, and marching on horses could save a lot of physical strength. And they don't have to maintain the same posture like the Sui army, and they have been waiting for the battle, which leads to back pain.
Blocked by this trench before, they were all holding back the fire in their hearts, and finally filled the ditch with the corpses of their comrades, and naturally wanted to rush into the crowd of the Sui army, and vent among the enemy with the big knives and spears in their hands.
"Poof! Burst! Burst! ”
One after another, the Turkic cavalry crashed into the Sui army's spear and shield formation, although most of the people in front of them made spears, but they disrupted the Sui army's formation, and more and more Turkic cavalry crossed the ditch. The Sui army was also trampled by the horse's hooves and suffered a lot of losses.
To add insult to injury, the cavalry reinforcements led by the leaders of the steppe tribes also arrived. Although their combat effectiveness was not as strong as that of the Turkic cavalry led by Chiwen, they were a fresh force that had not been consumed in battle. And there are more people than the army that came to protect the children. After they joined, the Sui army finally gradually showed signs of defeat, although Lai Hu'er was still trying to adjust, but there were more and more holes in the Sui army's formation, and the Turkic army continued to advance, and it was about to be killed by the enemy through the phalanx.
Lai Hu'er had already killed a bloody man by this time, and he brandished the broadsword in his hand, stabbed to death a Turkic soldier who attacked him, and saved a Sui soldier whose arm was cut off by the Turkic army.
At this time, a young military general with a bloodstained face limped up to him with a spear, and said breathlessly: "Come general, withdraw!" If we don't withdraw, our brethren will all be confessed here! ”
After a glance at Hu'er, he found that this person was his deputy general Wang Junkuo.
He immediately objected: "How can you withdraw? How dare you withdraw? We are behind the old general Yu, if we withdraw, the Turkic army can directly enter the rear army of our army, and how many casualties will it cause at that time! And in this plain area, we are all infantry, do you think we can escape? ”
"Alas, I see! Come to the general, the younger brother also wants to save the lives of some of his brothers, our army has more than 50,000 people, and now more than half of them are dead and wounded! I saw with my own eyes that Commander Zhang and Commander Sun died under the spears of the Turkic army! They have been following our brothers since the establishment of our Wei Mansion! Wang Junkuo said with a handful of snot and tears.
Lai Hu'er couldn't help but be moved, these two generals are his old subordinates, although there are superiors and subordinates in the military ranks, but the ordinary four people are like brothers, and the feelings are deep. I didn't expect them to die in this battle.
Tears appeared in his eyes, and he felt a sour feeling in his nose, but he forced himself to endure it and shouted, "We can't retreat!" The old general has his own arrangement! As long as we hold on for another half an hour, you can see a turnaround! ”
"What? Wait another half an hour? Then our brothers will all be confessed here! Wang Junkuo exclaimed.
He was even more angry, and Yujuluo had other arrangements, but he didn't tell him, he only informed Laihu'er and kept him in the dark.
Lai Hu'er didn't know that Wang Junkuo had already thought about so many things in his heart. He slapped Wang Junkuo's shoulder and sighed, "Brother Wang Xian, don't you say that I don't feel sorry for my brother?" But if we retreat at this time, it will not only be our army that will suffer, but also the plan to rescue Your Majesty will be frustrated. Then we will be sinners! This time, even if I come to protect my son, I'm sorry for the brothers in the Wei Mansion! ”
Wang Junkuo came back to his senses at this time, hurriedly patted his chest, and said with an obligatory look: "Since General Lai said so, the younger brother is not an unreasonable person, and I will fight to the death!" ”
When Laihu'er heard this, he was also very moved, he waved his broadsword, and soon threw himself into battle again......
