Chapter 903: Kill Three Thousand More People
Yang Lie, who was running away from his horse and firing arrows at the Rouran cavalry pursuing in the rear, heard a shout: "General, the Rouran people have withdrawn!" ”
When Yang Lie heard this, he looked back and found that the Rouran people, who had been biting at the back just now, had stopped the pursuit and returned in the direction he had come.
Yang Lie immediately pulled the reins and turned around, shouting: "Turn around, chase!" ”
The U-turn of the cadres is not to stop advancing first and then turn on the spot, but to stop and turn around on the spot, whether it is the damage to the horses or the knights on horseback, it is very large.
The knights rode their horses around a small circle to make a U-turn, which seemed to take some time, but it was not much slower than a sudden stop and a U-turn, and it was safer to do so.
In a high-speed gallop on horseback, if the soldiers in the front row stop too quickly, there is a 90% chance that the soldiers in the rear will not react and will be rear-ended.
There are also protective measures in the car, once a rear-end incident occurs while sitting on horseback, but there are no protective measures, not only the person who is hit will be knocked on his back, but the cavalry that hits behind will also fly out because of inertia.
If you slowly slow down and then turn on the spot, it doesn't matter if the formation is loose, it is only a matter of time before you complete the turn of the turn, but if the formation is dense, it is not easy to complete a large-scale cavalry turn, which will take a lot of time.
Under the command and command of Yang Lie, the 1,000 cavalry easily completed the turn of the U-turn, and once again pursued the Rouran Army horizontally with a rectangular army formation with a long cross-section and short depth.
Why do you want to pursue laterally in a rectangular formation? It has several advantages: first, it is easy to complete the process of turning and turning around; Second, the area where the enemy army was attacked with bows and arrows was wide. If you pursue the enemy in a deep formation, only the arrows of the soldiers in the front can hit the enemy, and the soldiers in the middle and back are too far away to hit the fleeing enemy in front of them. Third, it can easily be converted into a goose-shaped formation during the pursuit, and then the rear team will be at the bottom, and then outflank with both flanks, and if the enemy is small in number, it can also be encircled and annihilated.
The high mobility and speed of the cavalry of the dry army is not that the horses of the dry army are faster than those of the Rouran people, but because the cavalry of the dry army almost has more than two or three horses, and in the process of galloping at high speed, the knights can easily change horses and ride to maintain speed.
"Commander Qian, the cadres are catching up again!" A centurion reminded the Rouran Commander who led the team.
Commander Rouran turned his head to look at it and shouted, "Leave them alone, speed up and join the main force of the brigade!" ”
The Rouran cavalry, which was evacuating and preparing to join the main force, was soon caught up by Yang Lie with the cavalry, and it was another rain of arrows, and the Rouran cavalry running in the rear fell off their horses like dumplings, screaming one after another.
The casualties were getting bigger and bigger, and the anger of the Rouran Commander was provoked again, and he stopped and shouted: "Turn around for me and fight with them!" ”
In the process of emergency stopping, there were bad Rouran cavalry who were sent out by their companions, but no one cared about them at this time.
The Rouran cavalry was agitated by the shouting of the commander, and they all beat their horses and turned around, but most of them did not turn around, and the cavalry of the dry army rushed over, and a few waves of arrows rained down the Rouran cavalry suffered heavy losses and fell one after another.
Immediately after that, the cavalry of the dry army quickly turned around, and before the remaining Rouran cavalry could chase after them, the cavalry of the dry army had already completed the turn and retreated at a very fast speed.
"Chase, chase me, kill them all!" Commander Rouran saw that less than half of his 1,000 men and horses were left so far, how could he not be angry? He was so dazed with anger that he shouted and slapped his horse in pursuit again.
The cavalry of the dry army once again perfectly displayed the Parthian tactics, while beating their horses in front and galloping at high speed, while turning back and shooting arrows to kill the pursuing Rouran army.
"Puff, puff······" There were constantly people in the Rouran army who were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, and the arrows shot by the Rouran people always fell behind the cavalry of the Qianjun army, and they could not catch up.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people under his command and around him, Commander Rouran had an indescribable anger and grievance in his heart, this cadre general was really damned, and he couldn't fight head-on, either he released arrows when he fled, or he released arrows when he pursued, so that he and his Rouran cavalry had nowhere to vent their anger.
At this moment, a loud whistle sounded from the cadre army, and the cavalry of the cadre army, which had been in fairly neat formation, suddenly dispersed and divided into many small groups, which dispersed in all directions.
"This ······ Which team should I chase? The commander on horseback hesitated, and decided that although he did not do it, the mount was still galloping forward.
The cavalry of the Qianjun army, which had been scattered to the two flanks, slowed down at this time, while the Qianjun army still running in front maintained its speed, and Commander Rouran soon found that he and his men and horses were surrounded by the Qianjun.
As soon as the cavalry squad of the cadre army ran away, a cavalry squad of the cadre army in the other direction quickly pounced on it and ran away with a bite.
The Rouran cavalry did not know which cadre squad to pursue, and these cadre squads were fast and agile, and they could easily pounce and kill some people and run away.
After a while, the Rouran people were exhausted by the attack, and the number of people became smaller and smaller, and in less than a moment, the remaining Rouran cavalry of less than five hundred people was killed by Yang Lie with this wolf pack tactic.
The vast meadow was littered with the corpses of the Rouran, as well as some horse corpses, and the rest of the horses were left without owners to gnaw on the weeds nearby.
After a loud whistle, Yang Lie's voice came out: "It's time for us to rest, withdraw!" ”
After the horn of the withdrawal was sounded, the cadres quickly withdrew cleanly.
Not long after they left, Abu Ganyuan, the general of Rouran, rushed over with 3,000 cavalry, and he looked at the corpses of Rouran people all over the ground, and a chill rushed to the top door.
How long has it been? Is there a second moment? That's the end of this team? It takes more than two moments to kill a thousand pigs, right?
Abu Ganyuan returned to his camp with his soldiers and horses, and Khan Tuhezhen asked eagerly, "How is it?" ”
"The thousand······ It's all over! Abu Ganyuan shook his head with a dejected face and said the most cruel result.
Toga's face instantly lost its color.
In the next half a day, the march speed of the Rouran army slowed down significantly, and at about noon, the army almost completely stopped advancing, not because they did not want to get rid of the attack of the dry army quickly, but because they could not go any further, and the cadre army always used the different terrain they passed through to attack and harass.
The ranks are relatively long, and all kinds of flaws are always exposed when marching, and these flaws are easily caught by the cadres and used to attack.
In just this half a day's effort, in addition to the one thousand cavalry that was solved by Yang Lie and the people at the beginning, two more thousand cavalry were solved by the cadre army, and none of them were killed.
Three thousand people, all of them were reimbursed in one morning, and not a single one of them lived.
The Rouran army stopped advancing on a high ground, and the choice to camp in this position was deliberate, just to defend against the attack of the cavalry.
In the Khan's tent, Toga said to his ministers and generals: "Things have come to this point, if we don't find a way to restrain the wolf pack of thousands of troops, it won't be long before they will eat us to nothing!" Everyone, let's think of a way, we can't be so passive anymore! ”
If there was a way, others would have said it a long time ago, so why wait until now? None of the ministers and generals made a sound, they just shook their heads and sighed.
Tuga Zhen put his hope on the national teacher Tan Wuye again, but Tan Wuye didn't know anything about military affairs, and he didn't have any good solutions.
I only heard Kuhehan say: "We can easily be caught and caught up by the cadres by using the wolf pack tactics, but the cadres use the wolf pack tactics against us, but we can't deal with them, and we can't even do hand-to-hand combat, they don't contact us at all, they only shoot us with arrows, eat us little by little, all this is mainly because of two reasons!" ”
Toga immediately asked, "What are the two reasons?" ”
"First, their cavalry is more mobile than ours; Second, their bows and arrows have twice as long range as we do! Why are they more mobile than our cavalry? Could it be that their horses are faster than ours? I can't see it, because each of their cavalry is equipped with at least two horses, and if our cavalry is also equipped with two, the mobility may not be as good as theirs, but it should not be much worse! But there is no way to think about the range of bows and arrows, this is a gap in bow-making skills, and there is no way to make up for it! ”
Toga immediately asked a logistics minister, "How many horses do we have in total?" ”
The Minister of Logistics stood up and replied: "There are less than four thousand free horses!" ”
Toga really thought for a moment and ordered: "For the time being, give all these horses to the most elite four thousand cavalry!" ”
"Yes, Khan!"
Tuhe Zhen asked Kuhehan again: "Do you have any way to restrain the wolf pack tactics of the Qianguo people?" If so, say it, and if it works, Ben Khan will remember your credit! ”
Hu Hehan thought for a while, looked up and said: "There is a way to solve it for a while, temporarily suppress them, if it is planned well, you can solve them with one or two thousand people, but they will definitely adjust their tactics, and when their brigade arrives, we will still be in a passive state, and we will still not be able to get rid of the end of being gradually eroded, unless we have a decisive battle with them!" ”
Tan Wuye immediately said: "General Kuhehan will talk about it first, as long as the current crisis can be solved, as for the future, we will think of other ways, we have to eat the meal one bite at a time, no matter how anxious it is, it will not help!" ”
