Chapter 316: Chu Luo's Killing Plan
、、、、、、、、、、
Gesang witnessed Chi Wen's tragic death just now, and he was really palpitating.
However, before the supervising army commander Luo Luo did not order a retreat, he would not dare to retreat without authorization, and he would be beheaded on the spot. But staying in front of the Sui army's chariot formation like this made no sense except for a sharp increase in casualties for his army, which also shook his confidence in victory.
After Chu Luo heard that Chi Wen had died in battle, a look of sadness flashed in his eyes, but it quickly flashed.
He sighed: "The timing and role of this car formation are indeed just right, Yu Juluo is worthy of being a veteran of the Great Sui, I heard that he is still the master of Yu Ming's brother Yu Chengdu, and he is indeed wise and brave, we are indeed inferior in wisdom and strategy compared to these Han people in the Central Plains." ”
"Lord Chuluo, now is not the time to feel the general, that fish is scheming, we can understand it now. But what should we do now? Gesang said urgently.
Chu Luo glanced at the two armies fighting each other two miles away, and said in a low voice: "If we retreat now, we will really get nothing, and the morale of our army will be greatly affected." These cavalry units that depend on us may be discouraged and unable to do their work. Let's attack on both flanks! ”
"Attack on both flanks?" Gesang was stunned when he heard this, "But our people and the Sui army there have already been mixed up, and we don't dare to ramp and trample on ......."
"What if we take the approach of trampling with cavalry!" Chu Luo interrupted him.
"Huh?! Lord Chuluo, once the cavalry enters the state of sprinting, it will not distinguish between the enemy and mine, what should our people do? Gesang exclaimed.
"These people are all dependent on our Eastern Turkic steppe tribes, do you think they are reliable? Over the years, they have continued to surrender and rebel, and rebel and surrender...... The Western Turks gave them benefits, and they fell to the Western Turks, and when they saw that our Eastern Turks were strong, they attached themselves to our Eastern Turks, and the devil knows if they will turn against each other again tomorrow. Chu Luo sneered.
"This ...... Lord Chuluo, how do we explain to the Khan? Gesang was still skeptical.
He knew that Shibi Khan was different from the previous Turkic khans, he was a monarch who aspired to become the ruler of the Central Plains, and he would never let his subordinates kill indiscriminately without distinguishing between the enemy and me, which would cause all the tribes of the steppe to be separated from morality.
"Hehe, Gesang, don't worry, Khan is my eldest brother, will I still not know what he thinks? As long as we can win this battle, he will never blame us! Moreover, the battle situation between the two wings is currently in a state of stalemate, and it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat. Let's lead the army to rush over and break the current stalemate! The Khan will only reward those who do the deeds, and will never punish us! A sneer appeared at the corner of Luo Luo's mouth.
"Good! Lord Chuluo, a certain family will listen to you! Gesang rolled his eyes and quickly made up his mind. Just do as you want. Anyway, Chu Luo is the younger brother of Shibi Khan, and he is on top of everything, and he is afraid of a bird!
"Okay! Then let's divide the troops into two and assault them! ”
Chu Luo quickly negotiated with Gesang that he would lead his army to attack the Sui infantry on the left flank, and Gesang would lead the army to attack the Sui infantry on the right flank. This result, it really caused huge casualties to the Sui army......
……
The battle on the plain west of Yanmen Pass has been going on for more than an hour so far, and the total number of troops invested by the Turks and the Sui Dynasty has reached more than 250,000, which can be regarded as the largest battle between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks since the opening of the 18th century.
"I can't imagine it! Shibi Khan was so mad that he didn't even let go of his own people! When he heard that the troops on the left and right flanks had collapsed, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Standing in front of him was a young military general with a bloodied face and a broken left hand, about ten years old, his cloak was all stained red with blood, and the cracks in his armor were oozing blood. If it weren't for the fact that there were two Yujuluo's personal soldiers on the left and right to support him, I was afraid that he would already be unstable on his feet.
This person was none other than Li Liang, who reported to Yujuluo the news that the left and right wings had collapsed.
Just an hour ago, when Xue Ju and Li Liang were fighting against the Turkic army, although they were already at a disadvantage, they could still barely support it. After all, at the time of the melee, the impact advantage of the cavalry could no longer be brought into play, and what was tested was the quality of the army's soldiers, as well as weapons and equipment, and in this regard, it was the Sui army that had an absolute advantage.
Seeing that they were about to gradually regain their previous disadvantage and gradually gain the upper hand, Chuluo and Gesang suddenly attacked the Turkic cavalry from the center of the battlefield. And they completely ignored the fact that the two armies were already in a mess.
Chuluo and Gesang did not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy at all, and only cared about the horses rushing and trampling.
The cavalry of the Turkic army on horseback only slashed and fired arrows at the people closest to them, and did not care whether the people in front of them were Sui or Turkic troops.
This sudden change caught Xue Ju and Li Liang off guard. However, they soon came to their senses and understood that the Turks were desperate.
Both of them were experienced generals, and they knew very well that the infantry fought the cavalry on the plains, and retreating was also a dead one, how could two legs outrun four legs? Only by fighting to the death can there be a glimmer of life. So the two immediately ordered the troops not to retreat and resist on the spot.
However, the soldiers led by the two had been fighting with the cavalry of these steppe tribes for a long time, and their physical strength was high, while the steppe cavalry led by Chuluo and Gesang entered the battle later than them, and the cavalry sat on horses and did not have to run on their own, and their physical strength was well preserved.
What's more: Chu Luo and Gesang are not mediocre generals, and their command ability is also relatively prominent in the Turkic army, and their ability is by no means worse than that of Xue Ju and Li Liang.
After a fierce battle, the Sui army finally lost its support and retreated. After Xue Ju and Li Rail broke off in person, under the death battle, Xue Ju was injured and disappeared, while Li Rail fled back to the camp. Now the cavalry of the Turkic army is attacking the flank and rear of the Sui army.
"Old General Yu, his subordinates are incompetent and have failed to withstand the Turkic cavalry assault! Please, general! Li Liang's voice trembled. He knew how terrible the consequences of defeat were, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Yu Jura also had a pained expression on his face, and he sighed and said, "It's not your fault! It's that I didn't expect the Turkic army to launch a surprise attack regardless of whether they are enemies or us, it was my miscalculation! You've done your best......"
With that, he calmly said, "Evacuate General Lee and the wounded brothers from the battlefield!" Make no mistake! ”
The two pro-soldiers answered and helped Li Liang to the rear.
Yang Gongqing hurriedly said at this time: "General, at the moment, we can only let the front army of the general go up again to resist, otherwise the Turkic cavalry will go around the back of our army." ”
Yu Juluo struggled in his heart for a long time, and Fang had to nod and say, "...... All right! Inform Laihu'er to come up and resist the Turkic army's attack! Let's attack it together, and we should be loyal to Your Majesty!" ”
Yang Gongqing immediately called the herald and began to record the order.
Although Yu Juluo's face was still calm at this time, he was secretly frightened, and now he couldn't resist the impact of the Turkic cavalry, he didn't know in his heart.
Now he has sent out all his forces, and there are no more reserves.
Thinking of this, he said: "Now let us abandon our chariots and attack the hill where Shibi Khan is located!" ”
When Yang Gongqing heard this, he was stunned, and he said cautiously: "Old General Yu, there are still 80,000 cavalry in Shibi Khan, and according to the scouts, it should be the most elite 'Golden Wolf Army' and 'Black Wolf Army' of the Turkic Army." With our current tired army to attack them, I'm afraid it will ......."
Although he didn't finish speaking, Yu Juluo could also guess that he wanted to say that this was no different from suicide, if it was Yuming's Liaodong Army, maybe it could still compete head-on with the "Golden Wolf Army", after all, nearly half of the Liaodong Army was elite cavalry, and his troops were all infantry, and it was almost impossible to predict the result of launching an attack on the elite cavalry on this plain.
Yu Jura sighed and said, "There is no way to do it. Even if we don't come forward, Shibi Khan will throw the 'Golden Wolf Army' into the battlefield and attack our flank, and the troops on the flank will surely collapse completely. At that time, we will also be defeated, after the collapse of the flank, the Turkic army can not only copy our army, but also flank our army, which will inevitably rush through our army's formation, and at that time, the whole situation will be completely irreparable! ”
After a pause, he continued: "Now that we are attacking Shibi Khan, we can at least hold him back from letting the troops of the 'Golden Wolf Army' enter other battlefields, and buy us at least two hours!" ”
"Old General Fish!" After Yang Gongqing heard this, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "But in that case, our army will be ......."
"I know! We will make great sacrifices! But as soldiers of the Great Sui, it was originally our duty to protect the emperor of the Great Sui. And we are already ashamed of Your Majesty if we fail to fulfill this responsibility......" Yu Kura's face couldn't help but show a sad expression.
With that, he stepped on his horse, picked up his spear and said, "Gongqing, you retreat first!" I'm going to meet the Khan of the beginning! ”
"Ahh General Fish! As the commander of the whole army, you can't act rashly......" Yang Gongqing shouted anxiously. But Yujuluo had already gone far away with his own soldiers.
Yang Gongqing couldn't be more clear about Yu Juluo's thoughts. Yujura is planning to fight to the end with Shibi Khan. He has let all his generals and soldiers press, and as the commander of an army, how can he hide behind and steal his life. This may be the reason why Yujura is so popular with the ranks of soldiers and officers.
He looked up to the sky and sighed: "General Yu, if you go, who will save Your Majesty?" At present, the generals of the Great Sui are unusable, and no one can stand up at the critical moment......" Speaking of this, Yang Gongqing was already in tears.
