Chapter 897: The Power of Terror
The sound of rumbling horses' hooves seemed to reverberate between heaven and earth, and the shouts of killing kept spreading, and the faces of every warrior were hideous and fierce.
"Arrows-" The fourth thousandth man shouted, and while releasing the arrows, he used his legs to control the horse to turn, the timing of this turn should be very accurate, if it is too late, it will enter the range of the bow and arrow of the Rouran cavalry, and if it is too early, the arrow will not be able to shoot on the Rouran people.
Turning and firing arrows at the same time is a high requirement for horsemanship, which is equivalent to having to concentrate on two things, but this is not a difficult thing for the dry cavalry, because it is the minimum requirement for them to train.
"Whoosh ······"
The Rouran cavalry at the front kept being hit by arrows and falling off their horses, and the cavalry of the cadre army did not just release a wave of arrows, they also kept releasing arrows while turning and retreating, if the Rouran people stopped at this time, it would be just that, and the people behind basically would not be shot, the problem was that they were still rushing towards the cavalry of the dry army, and they were still within the range of the dry army.
Before the Qian's army entered the range of the Rouran, the two sides finally maintained this distance, and the arrows of the Rouran people hit the feet of the horses' hooves of the Qian's cavalry, and at this time, the 1,000 cavalry of the Qian's army also completed the turn.
This is the advantage of a small team and a small body, the flexibility is much higher than that of a large team, and it is easy to complete the turn, so he led the men and horses to chase behind, and chased for two miles and never caught up.
"Stop, stop chasing!" He screamed angrily and reined in the war horse, and the Rouran cavalry behind gradually stopped.
Before Rouranren could catch his breath, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from the left side again, and when he heard it, his brows tightened: "What's the matter?" ”
Just as he was about to be sent to the left side to investigate, a cadre cavalry came over from the left side.
"Leader, it's a cavalry of the cadre army, and there are a thousand horsemen!" A thousand grown-ups called.
Bendu saw it, because the thousand cavalry had already arrived two miles away, and Bendu was angry with a cold face: "It's really too deceitful!" If you want to fight, you will fight, you will fight and run, and the cadres and troops are all bad seeds! Boys, follow me, this time you can't let them run anyway! ”
"Yes!"
Under the command of Bendu, the Rouran cavalry quickly turned around and attacked the cavalry of the Qianjun army, which had reached two miles away.
The commander of the 5,000th commander of the cadre army shouted while sprinting his horse: "Bow and arrow preparation—release arrows—"
"Whoosh ······"
The commander's banner quickly turned around when the first wave of arrows was fired, and the whole team turned very flexibly and quickly, and the process of turning kept releasing arrows, and the Rouran cavalry who were rushing over were taken care of by wave after wave of arrows, and the Rouran cavalry kept falling from the horse with arrows.
Although several successive waves of arrow rain only caused more than 200 casualties to the Rouran army, and did not hurt the Rouran army, it completely angered the depot, and also angered all the Rouran army, and they chased the cavalry of the dry army like a crazy wolf.
"Boom ······" A thousand cavalry of the Rouran Army appeared on the flank of the Rouran Army again, and at this time it was rushing towards the Rouran Army.
"Chief, another cadre army of thousands of cavalry has come to kill!"
Ben Du found out, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, should he continue to chase after the fleeing cadres, or turn to meet the new wave of cadres and cavalry?
"Divide the troops! You take a thousand men to meet the cadres rushing from the flank, and I will take the rest to chase the cadres in front! "Bendu immediately gave an order to the next commander.
The commander of the thousand commanders said while riding his horse: "Chief, the purpose of the cadre army is to gradually split us, we can't divide the troops, the thousands of men and horses that have been sent out to fight the cadre army have not returned until now, if we divide the troops again, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be eaten by them one by one!" ”
He realized that he had become a cadre of the army, and immediately said: "That's right, the Qianguo people are going to lead us away one by one and eat us one by one, we can't be separated anymore, all of them will be for me to meet the cadres who are killed on the side, go!" ”
A few miles away on the edge of a wood, Chang Kun listened to the scout's report, and said to the remaining commanders with a smile: "Next, a few of you will take action, and eat the men and horses of Bendu little by little!" ”
"Yes!" Several commanders clenched their fists in agreement, then quickly turned around and mounted their horses and ran in front of their own troops, giving an order, each leaving with a thousand cavalry.
He didn't feel that he was going crazy at all, every cavalry of the dry army did not fight hard with him, they used the large range of bows and arrows to keep firing arrows from a long distance, and immediately turned away without waiting for the Rouran cavalry to rush closer, and also took advantage of the fact that each of them had several horses in the process of running, constantly changing horses to maintain high-speed maneuvering, so that the Rouran cavalry could never catch up.
At this moment, the face of a thousand cavalry of the cadre army is like facing a vicious wolf, they rush over without order and order, and do not fight in close quarters, put a few arrows and run, this thousand cavalry team just left, and the other thousand cavalry team of the cadre army rushed over again, and also caused two or three hundred casualties to the Rouran people and ran away, followed by several other thousand cavalry teams kept attacking in turn, and the Rouran army never caught a single hair of the dry army.
This is a real group of attack, take turns to attack, like a male lion is besieged by a group of wolves, a wolf takes advantage of the lion's inattention and suddenly rushes up to bite, just when the male lion is chasing, the wolf has run away, another wolf from behind, and bites, the lion turns around and goes to chase when the wolf runs away.
Bendu was completely berserk, but he lost his mind in the rage, and his troops were eaten little by little, and the Rouran cavalry had lost their fierceness and courage one by one, and they were left with only deep fear, and they wanted to escape, but they found that they couldn't do it at all, and the cadres did not give them a chance to escape at all, and once they planned to escape, they were immediately stopped by a thousand cavalry of the Qianjun army.
The incessant attacks caused heavy losses to the Rouran army, from the initial 3,000 people to be eaten away little by little, in less than an hour, until this time there were only a few hundred, but the thousands of cavalry teams of the cadres were still like cats playing with mice.
Chang Kun appeared on horseback, he rode a horse and stood on a high ground looking at the situation on the battlefield in the distance, behind him were the banner, two hundred guards and a thousand cavalry.
After observing for a while, Chang Kun ordered: "There are only so few people left around Bendu, don't play with him, tell those commanders to end the battle as soon as possible, and then go and deal with the other Rouran troops who have been diverted!" ”
"Yes, General!"
Bendu and the only remaining 200 people around him were quickly surrounded and annihilated by the cadre army, and he felt that he was dead in a nest, and he was very unconvinced to die, but unfortunately the cadre army did not give him another chance.
As for the previous few Rouran cavalry that had been diverted, they had been dragged out by the cavalry of the cadre army at this time, and the cavalry of the cadre army used their high-speed mobility to constantly harass them, and once they pursued, the cadres quickly withdrew, and when the Rouran cavalry stopped, they turned around and came back to attack.
Next, the several Rouran cavalry that were led away were annihilated little by little by Chang Kun with this combination of wolf pack tactics and guerrilla warfare methods, and there was no dregs left.
Although this method of warfare is a bit troublesome, as long as the command is proper and the thousands of cavalry units cooperate tacitly, its effect is very obvious, and often before it enters the final stage, the various Rouran armies have already been made to collapse on their own, and the cadres only need to harvest their heads.
"General, my side is finished, and the enemy army has been completely annihilated, and my thousand cavalry team has only suffered more than a dozen casualties!"
"General Qiyu, our side is also done fighting, none of the Rouran people ran away, and only three of my people were accidentally hit and fell from behind by their comrades!"
As one thousand commanders came to report, the battle against the Bendu army was over, and after statistics, the total casualties of Chang Kun's ten thousand cavalry were less than one hundred and twenty people, but this battle completely annihilated the 10,000 cavalry of the Rouran army, and this terrifying result would definitely be terrifying if it was said.
In the col sixty miles northeast of the Bahan Mountain, Zhao Junsheng received a message from Chang Kun with a flying eagle.
After reading the content of the small note, Zhao Junsheng smiled and said to the generals and ministers accompanying the army: "Chang Kun solved the problem of 10,000 troops with the wolf pack tactics, and in the battle, Bendu was also killed!" ”
The ministers of the army showed joy one by one and stood up one after another to congratulate.
Zhao Junsheng asked with a smile: "Do you know how much Chang Kun paid?" ”
Xu Yan guessed: "To be able to annihilate the 10,000 horses of the Rouran Army, General Chang should have paid at least more than 3,000 people, right?" ”
Zhao Junsheng raised a finger and waved, "Guess wrong, he only paid less than one hundred and twenty casualties to annihilate all the 10,000 Rouran cavalry!" ”
The ministers of the army all felt a little incredible, how could this ······ Possible?
Zhao Junsheng looked at the military general and asked: "Generals, Chang Kun can use 10,000 cavalry to deal with 10,000 cavalry in Bendu, and only pay the price of less than 120 casualties to completely annihilate Bendu's army, do you have the confidence to defeat Rouran Khan Tuhe Zhen with the same tactics?" ”
Yuan He stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please go to war!" ”
Wei Jing also stood up: "Father, sons, please fight!" ”
In such a thing as fighting, every military general does not think that he will lose to others, so these generals have come forward to ask for battle.
Zhao Junsheng looked at a military general and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the battle still has to be fought!" The same tactics can deal with convenience, but they may not be able to deal with Toga Shin! You must know that although Toga is young, his temperament is not reckless, and he is good at following the advice of his subordinates, and there are still many capable people around him! ”
The generals were silent.
Zhao Junsheng thought for a moment and said, "In this way, let's first use the same tactics to carry out a few tentative attacks on Tuhe Zhen's men and horses, and if he can't find a way to deal with it, we will use this tactic to gradually eat him!" If he finds a way to deal with it, we'll adjust the tactics at any time! ”
