Chapter 956: Stalemate Stage
The next day, the Turks regrouped and came with great momentum, changing the way of charging, dividing into tridents, staggering a distance, and dispersing the bows and arrows and artillery of the Dahua army.
Boom Boom –
The war horses neighed, and the three teams each had 10,000 people, which were led by the Grand Captain, and then the Great Danghu, the Gudu Marquis, and the Thousand Commanders each led their own regiments.
When it was close to 200 paces, the black powder shells were projected, and the explosions were repeated, the smoke and dust were billowing and the smoke was filled, and the lethality was huge.
At one hundred and fifty paces, the foot crossbow was fired, densely covered, and a round of strong crossbow arrows rained down, which also harvested the lives of many knights.
When the Turkic cavalry rushed through these lines of life and death, the casualties were already close to one-third.
The two armies exchanged short troops, and the more fierce battles unfolded, as yesterday, and killing became the main theme.
The Turkic knights were rolling, the Dahua soldiers were spilling blood, the former took advantage of the war horse, condescending, slashing and colliding, many Dahua soldiers had their brains split and limbs, and most of them died in the screams.
However, the movement of the Turkic cavalry in the infantry phalanx was blocked, and many of the horses were cut off by hooks and sickles, and the spears were pierced in unison, and the bodies of the Turks were fiercely plunged, and they were covered in blood.
In this way, the battle continued on and on, without stopping.
Neither side retreated, but filled it with human lives to see who could not hold it first.
Luo Zhaoyun and the others were already numb when they saw this scene, and in the battle within two days, each side invested nearly 100,000 troops, and more than half of them were killed or wounded.
The Turks refused to give up, although the Turkic cavalry was the best at running and was known for its mobility, but on this necessary road, the Dahua army was entrenched here, there were cavalry, and there were also large-scale infantry, and it was impossible for the Turks to bypass and ignore the existence of this army of soldiers and horses.
The purpose of Shibi Khan's coming to the Central Plains is to raid Chang'an City, and second, to be able to destroy Dahua and capture Luo Zhaoyun, and now, Emperor Dahua is in the rear of the phalanx, so the Turkic cavalry is constantly charging, to crush the past, to break the phalanx of the Central Plains, as long as this group of main forces is eliminated, the Turks have achieved their goal, whether to attack Chang'an or not, it doesn't matter.
Because of this, the Turks became stubborn and constantly charged.
And Luo Zhaoyun also deduced that he came here in the temple, and used himself as a bait to make the Turks give up their mobility and be good at it, as if they were strong in guerrillas, like a fan of wealth seeing gold, rushing to kill, the purpose was nothing more than to come for his life.
"Come on, Shibi Khan, when your main army is more than half consumed, it will be when your Turkic army is killed in the Central Plains." Luo Zhaoyun sat on a high seat, with a flag fluttering above his head, which was very eye-catching, attracting the sharp eyes of the Turks, who were greedily eager to kill here.
But Luo Zhaoyun was in the rear of the Chinese army, arranging layers of heavy troops, as tight as a copper wall, as well as the elite Imperial Forest Army, the Xuanjia Cavalry, following him to fight in the north and south, a group of iron guards who were born and died on the battlefield, until the last moment, he would not personally participate in the battle.
When he makes a move, he will inevitably strike a thunderous blow and decide the battle.
The battle continued, the sword light and blood shadow, the stump fell, and the head rolled.
Blood stains the ground, pools like streams, and then seeps into the arid sandy soils of the northwest.
"Knock knock!"
The drums of war were beating incessantly, boosting morale, but many soldiers heard it and were used to it and didn't feel much of it.
Killing and death made the soldiers in the war confused, without human emotions, only heavy thoughts of killing, and turned into war machines.
From morning to dusk, and at the end of the day, the Turks left behind nearly 30,000 corpses, all over the place, rolling backwards like a low tide.
The Dahua side was also unable to pursue, because the infantry phalanx was also riddled with holes, and it was necessary to make up for the gap in troops and draw the wounded out. The cavalry is limited, and a group of dead is a small group, even if some war horses are captured from the Turks, but the riding skills of the soldiers can not be trained overnight, and they can barely ride, and those who are good at it, when they fight, it is the difference between life and death.
At this time, it is more than the speed of rest, the treatment of the wounded, the encouragement of morale, and the willfulness of doing things.
The Dahua side has not lost its faith because it is famous for defending the country and defending the country, so the belief has not been lost, but the Turkic side has left its hometown and gone south, and the tribes originally wanted to go south to plunder one side and return to make a fortune, but they encountered hard bones, and they couldn't gnaw it, and the casualties were very large, and it was inevitable that the military spirit was a little fluctuating.
Shibi Khan summoned the chiefs of the tribes, as well as the Turkic kings of Guli, Yehu, the generals, and the captains of the capitals, to discuss how to defeat the enemy.
"Khan, the casualties of our army have been 60,000, counting the tens of thousands of vanguard troops, 100,000 people have died, and 100,000 herdsmen and warriors are buried in the Central Plains, we ...... We're not convinced! "A Ye Hu had tears in his eyes, feeling sorrow for the 100,000 warriors who had died.
Shibi Khan snorted coldly: "This hatred, if it is to be counted on the emperor Xiao'er of Dahua, we must defeat them in order to take revenge, in order to get the wealth we want, and to set foot in the Central Plains, it is just around the corner." ”
A senior general arched his hand and said: "However, this is only a part of Dahua's main army, it is already so difficult to deal with, and when the reinforcements from Hedong arrive, our troops will not have an advantage." ”
"At present, Dahua has also suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and the total strength is about 80,000, and their strength is temporarily less than half of us. Shibi Khan also knew very clearly, if he didn't take Luo Zhaoyun before Dahua's reinforcements, there would be no chance.
"Khan ......"
"Needless to say, Ben Khan has made up his mind, not to kill Luo, and vowed not to retreat!" Shibi Khan's face was grim, he was unwilling to listen to the remarks of quitting the army and retiring the army, shaking the morale and belief of the army, although the casualties were large, but there were still opportunities and advantages, and he did not want to give up.
This is just like the mentality of a gambler, who has suffered heavy losses in the front, but still will not stop, thinking about turning the tables, recovering the previous losses, and becoming the final winner.
