Chapter 216: Fire Trick Retreats

When Sun Xiangfu's side was busy, Wang Xu's side was not idle, he didn't need to be as troublesome as Sun Xiangfu, he only needed a shock from the tiger's body, and he came from all directions, it was really these soldiers who knew Wang Xu too well, he said that if he didn't kill, he would definitely not kill, so the guards brought by Wang Xu here became a supervision team, and more than a thousand rebels who surrendered under their supervision quickly compiled branches and balls, with the threat of butcher knives, their speed was no worse than Sun Xiangfu's side.

Half an hour later, on the valley road of the mountain range, the battle is still in full swing, if you look closely, you will find that the number of people on the Tang army's side is getting thinner and thinner, and the main general Guo Po has at least three Turkic arrows on his body, but he is wearing a good cotton armor, and the injury should not be serious.

"Raise the fire and let's go! Guo Po: They couldn't hold it anymore. ”

The infantry and cavalry were not advantageous in the battle, but the Turks were also tired soldiers who had been driving all day, and Guo Po was assisted by fortifications, so that these more than 4,000 people blocked the Turks' more than 20,000 cavalry for more than half an hour.

But there is a limit to people's physical strength, and more than an hour of continuous high-intensity confrontation will make people exhausted, and the archers will not be able to pull the bow for a long time, without the suppression of the bow and arrow, the frequency of pikemen to drive the enemy will also increase, and the strength consumed will naturally be large.

Not only that, the Turkic cavalry who are good at cavalry and archery also changed their attack strategy, no longer using human lives to fill the trap of horses, but throwing them in turns from afar, forcing the spear and shield soldiers to constantly raise their shields to block arrows, and they took the opportunity to get close to the chopping, back and forth for many rounds, so that the casualties of the unity battalion reached more than two percent, and the Wang family soldiers who did not have cotton armor and big shields were even more seriously injured, at least more than 1,000 people had been killed, if they didn't know that everyone was going to die if the formation collapsed, these people would have fled long ago.

"Go a little lower, find an unobstructed hillside, light a fire, push these dead branches down, and ······ quickly"

Seeing the signal from Sun Xiangfu's side, Wang Xu ordered loudly, and suddenly, hundreds of large fireballs were ignited on the hillsides on the left and right.

"Khan, there is an abnormal movement on the hillside, it's not good, it's a fire attack."

No matter how wide the passage in the center of the mountain is, with nearly 20,000 cavalry crowded, it is very dense, and the horses and the Turkic army covered in sheepskin jackets do not dare to touch the fire when the weather is dry and dry.

"Retreat, ······ quickly"

Tuli really didn't dare to fight a tough battle, just this hour, he died two or three thousand horsemen, this is already greater than the loss of a frontal war, his heart has long been painful, if he is burned by those fireballs, then his chance of making a comeback is even more slim, yes, his shout is very loud, very urgent.

Guo Po, who was hoarse, only felt that the front of the formation was empty, and his body sat down on the ground softly, his spirit was almost drained in the battle for more than an hour just now, and now, he was finally able to rest.

"Ah~"

The speed of the fireball rolling down the slope was faster than the speed of 20,000 cavalry turning and retreating, and a moment later, the screams of the Turkic soldiers were heard from the bottom of the hillside, and the speed of the flames passed through the crowd very quickly, and the Turkish cavalry formation was suddenly disrupted, and the more chaotic, the slower the evacuation.

"Hehe, no wonder the ancient military strategists liked to use wisdom, just this hand, there are more Turks than Guo Po and they desperately killed just now."

Hundreds of large fireballs rolled down, the hit rate reached nearly half, and once the big fireballs rolled into the Turkic cavalry, it often burned more than one or two people, and those who were burned Turkic cavalry would ignite others when they fled, and in just a quarter of an hour, at least three or four thousand Turkic cavalry died in the fire, but at this time the main cavalry team led by the Turkic army had also retreated to the safe zone.

"Khan, those people on the mountain must be resolved, otherwise, when we rush into battle again, they will concoct according to the law, and we will still suffer heavy losses." Abu Tusi suggested to Tuli.

Hearing this, Tu Li, who was pale, looked up at both sides of the mountain range, but shook his head with a gloomy face and said, "But this mountain is dark and overgrown, and it is not suitable for horses. ”

The reality of the situation made Tuli and his subordinates helpless, after thinking about it for a long time, he finally had to order to temporarily find an open place to set up camp, anyway, Wang Lin's strategy blocked Li Jing, he still had at least a day or two, and when it was dawn, his subordinates and horses would recover their physical strength, and the Tang army, which was not superior in numbers, could not stop the impact of his more than 10,000 horsemen.

"The Turks are blocked by the fireball, and they don't dare to get off the mountain, they shouldn't continue to fight tonight, let's go and feed water to the people below to bandage their wounds."

Sun Xiangfu realized the role of wisdom in war, and became more accustomed to using his brain to solve problems.

The situation under the mountain is much worse than Sun Xiangfu imagined, only less than 2,500 of the more than 4,000 people are alive, and half of the 2,500 people are wounded, mainly arrow wounds, especially the Wang family soldiers, they have no cotton armor, and after being shot by arrows, they basically lose their combat effectiveness completely.

didn't say much, Sun Xiangfu first helped Guo Po remove the three arrows on his body, fortunately, the arrows did not penetrate into the flesh, but after the injury, he still maintained vigorous exercise and bled a lot.

After taking the arrow and stitching up the wound, he put on the sticky medicine cloth that had been made long ago, Sun Xiangfu's treatment of Guo Po was completed, and after the battle of Luoyang, he realized that since this era, it was inevitable to encounter war, so he asked the craftsmen and doctors to study this large band-aid that is convenient for treating external injuries, and gave it to the army to spare a lot, and now it is the first time to use it.

"Lord Changshi, in this battle of the unity camp, one hundred and seventy-three people were wounded, one hundred and twenty-eight people were killed, and no one fled before the battle, and there was no order to retreat." Guo Po grabbed Sun Xiangfu's arm, who had treated his wounds, and said.

"Okay, good, you are all good, after I go back, I will write a recital to Your Majesty and ask for credit for you······"

Before Sun Xiangfu finished speaking, Guo Po's snoring had already come, feelings, when this guy was sleepy and about to fall asleep just now, he thought he was going to die, this is explaining the aftermath!

"Zhang Ke, pour a bowl of warm sugar water for Captain Guo."

"Order."

Sun Xiangfu was busy treating the wounded, and Wang Xu was on the other side, he summoned more than 2,000 rebels to give a lecture, and after fully expressing his anger at these betrayals in words, he gave them a chance to atone for their crimes, and now, their physical strength and physical condition are actually the best on the Tang army's side, yes, early tomorrow morning, if the Turks come to attack, they must be the main force, taking advantage of the current strength, he scattered these people into the team, and also sent his own guards as a supervising team.

The reason why he worked so hard to fight with Tuli was because Wang Lin's shamelessness made him angry and instigated his soldiers to launch a rebellion, which had never happened since the establishment of the Wang family, and Wang Lin made a very bad start.

He didn't know that this was because Sun Xiangfu played a play for Wang Lin in Luoyang, which made Wang Lin have a desire to kill Wang Xu, which led to the result. This can be regarded as the success of Sun Xiangfu's instigation plan!

After this battle, more than half of the Wang's family soldiers were lost, and the family's hard power would be reduced by at least thirty percent, so after that, Sun Xiangfu's follow-up plans for these families would have a higher chance of success.
