Chapter 350: Encirclement
Seeing that the Rouran cavalry in the middle had been completely restrained and was slaughtered by the Modao team, Hua Mulan ordered: "The archers advance to the front of the sword and shield soldiers and shoot arrows at the Rouran cavalry!" ”
Zhao Junsheng nodded and said to the herald: "Go and tell the archer team general, let him decide the angle and distance of the bow and arrow firing for himself, but he can't hurt his comrades!" ”
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, the archers will immediately order everyone to run forward, passing through the gap between the sword and shield soldiers and the spearmen to the rear of the Mo sword team.
"Shoot the arrows—"
"Whoosh ······" A large number of arrows flew into the Rouran cavalry, the Rouran people were too dense, almost all huddled together, and a large-scale bow and arrow strike was more lethal to this dense formation.
One by one, the Rouran cavalry were hit by arrows, screaming, falling and dismounting.
In front of them, there were both bright and slick Mo knife hands constantly advancing and slashing, as well as long-range bows and arrows constantly attacking, the Rouran cavalry had almost no power to fight back, and in just such a short period of time, the Rouran people suffered heavy losses, and the cavalry arrows from the left and right sides never stopped.
The 2,000 Rouran cavalry that attacked the Chinese army had less than 700 cavalry left at this time, and such heavy casualties made the rest of the people a little frightened, and some people couldn't hold it anymore, so they turned around and ran away.
Fear was contagious, and the first Rouran cavalry fled, followed by a second and third······ More and more Rouran cavalry joined the ranks of fleeing.
"It's time for an all-out attack! Order, the whole army advances-"Mulan found that the Rouran in the middle showed signs of rout, and immediately gave the order for a full-scale attack.
But Mulan's order was not very clear, and Zhao Junsheng had to make up for her, and said to the heralds: "Beat the drums, blow the horn, and march!" ”
The drummers and trumpeters immediately began to beat the drums as soon as they received the order, "Knock, knock, knock······"
"Woo-woo-woo-"
Hearing the sound of drums and horns, the Wei cavalry beat their horses and outflanked the two wings of the Rouran people, while the Chinese infantry advanced collectively at this time, and the Rouran cavalry in the middle no longer had any courage at this time, and the full rout began.
The rout of the Rouran cavalry in the middle led the Rouran cavalry who were fighting on both sides, and seeing so many companions fleeing, these Rouran cavalry who were fighting with the Wei cavalry were also afraid, and the actions of killing the enemy in their hands were also deformed.
Marshal Rou Ran knew that it was bad when he saw this situation, he never expected that the cavalry attacking in the middle would break and flee, how could this be good?
"Marshal, the Wei army has already attacked in an all-out way, not only our army in the middle, but both wings have been affected, let's withdraw quickly, we will withdraw to Shengle City and send people to move rescue troops!" A general anxiously suggested to Dana.
Another general suggested: "Dashuai, we can't stay in Shengle City, if we are surrounded in Shengle City, we will only be trapped alive, and if we want to escape, we must flee to the north of Yinshan Mountain!" ”
"Shut up!" Dana heard a burst of anger, at this critical moment, these people didn't know how to save the defeat, but they first thought about how to escape, which was really hateful.
"Don't argue, we haven't lost yet!" Dana immediately stabilized the chaotic military heart, and he immediately ordered: "If you want to turn the tables, the only way is to attack the back of the Wei army, their middle is infantry, and the rear must be empty, as long as you break up their middle rear and cut down their Daxu, the Wei army will be defeated, and now everyone is left to follow me to copy their backs!" ”
All the generals and commanders know that this is the last chance, if they succeed, they can win, and if they fail, they don't even have a chance to escape.
Under Dana's forcible orders and personal leadership, the remaining 1,000 Rouran cavalry galloped to the left and right, intending to bypass the Wei cavalry that was outflanking this side.
Dana's plan was very good, but he underestimated the reaction speed and tactical power of the Wei cavalry, and the outermost part of the left flank was the 1,000th cavalry under Zhao Junsheng, which used bows and arrows as the main combat weapon, that is, the archers.
The horses of these cavalry archers were carefully selected, not only with strong endurance, but also extremely fast, and when the cavalry archers saw the remaining Rouran cavalry rushing towards them, trying to break out of their encirclement and attack the rear of their formation, the archers immediately pulled the reins and retreated to open up the distance between them and the Rouran cavalry.
"Whoosh ······" A large number of arrows were fired by the archers during the retreat.
In their attempts to break through the encirclement, the Rouran cavalry kept getting arrows from their horses, but when they fired arrows at the archers, they did not have enough range.
The casualties of the Rouran cavalry were getting bigger and bigger, and they were so attacked by this strange method of warfare that many of them no longer followed Dana, but pursued the archers, but they were shot and killed by the archers one by one.
Can't catch up, can't shoot, can't hit! But how aggrieved and angry the Rouran cavalry who wanted to pursue, many of them had completely lost their minds, and they had to catch up with these damned archers and cut them into meat sauce, but it backfired, and they were gradually shot in the process of pursuit.
"Come back, you all come back, follow this commander to attack the back of the Wei army, come back quickly!" Da Na was so anxious that he screamed, but there were still many people who stopped listening to his orders.
Hua Mulan looked at this scene and said to Zhao Junsheng: "Let the 1,000 cavalry you reserve to block the last of the men and horses in Da Na!" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Junsheng waved his hand to the soldiers around him: "Go tell them, don't let one go!" ”
"Yes!"
After the order was issued, the 1,000 cavalry reserved for the rear had already set out from the rear to bypass the main formation and meet the men and horses in the Dana area, and they also lined up in a tight cavalry formation under the leadership of the commander of the thousand commanders to launch a dense assault on the cavalry of Dana.
Dana soon personally tasted the terrifying lethality brought by this dense cavalry assault, row after row, like a wave, it seemed that it never stopped, and the Rouran cavalry under his command was too scattered to concentrate its strength, and was soon rushed to pieces by these Wei cavalry.
Zhao Junsheng said to Mulan at this time: "Mulan, the time has come to close the siege, Dana and he have a few powerful characters, I have to deal with them personally!" ”
Hua Mulan nodded and said, "Okay, be careful yourself, don't be reckless!" ”
"Yes!" Zhao Junsheng agreed, pulled the reins, turned around and waved to the soldiers: "Follow me!" ”
More than a hundred and a dozen cavalrymen followed Zhao Junsheng and killed in the direction where Dana was.
On this side, Mulan immediately gave the order to encircle, and the Wei cavalry began to form an encirclement automatically, and the cavalry on both wings stretched the battle line, and they rushed to the front at the fastest speed to converge to form a blockade line.
In the face of the rout of Rouran, who were fleeing to the north, Zhao Junsheng's cavalry fought horses to distance themselves from them, expanding the encirclement, and at the same time kept shooting with archers to prevent some Rouran from protruding from the encirclement.
As long as the Rouran cavalry wanted to break through the encirclement, they quickly retreated and retreated to expand the encirclement, and cooperated with bows and arrows to ensure that the Rouran cavalry was always surrounded in the middle.
"Dana, take your life!" Zhao Junsheng saw that Dana was slashing and slashing his cavalry, and immediately rushed over with a roar.
A Rouran general came out from the side and stopped in front of Zhao Junsheng.
"Dead open!" The spear in Zhao Junsheng's hand stabbed like lightning, and the spear swung in the middle, and the mace smashed by the other party was knocked off, and the head of the spear still pierced the opponent's throat.
There were Rouran cavalry on both sides to kill him, Zhao Junsheng shook his spear and stabbed left and right, and more than a dozen Rouran cavalry stabs fell off his horse in a row, and he killed in front of Dana.
"Who are you?" Da Na shouted and brandished his scimitar and rushed towards Zhao Junsheng.
"Your Grandpa Zhao! Look at the guns! Zhao Junsheng yelled and stabbed over.
Da Na's ability is not small, and he was able to block Zhao Junsheng's lightning-like stab, but Zhao Junsheng's attacks continued to unfold, and the spear kept beckoning to Da Na's face and neck, and the attack speed was getting faster and faster.
Da Na didn't have time to fight back, so he could only keep dodging, but he still didn't get rid of Zhao Junsheng's attack range, and after dodging more than a dozen moves, he couldn't dodge for a while and was poked in the face by Zhao Junsheng, and fell off the horse with a scream.
Zhao Junsheng's legs clamped the horse's belly, the war horse jumped forward violently, and he leaned over with a spear in his hand.
Da Na, whose eyes were stabbed with a bloody hole, was still rolling in screams, and was stabbed to death on the grass by Zhao Junsheng.
His body was picked up in the air by Zhao Junsheng with a spear, "Dana is dead, the soldiers will kill me-"
"Kill—" The surrounding Wei cavalry saw this scene and their morale was greatly boosted, and they had completely adapted to the blood at this time, and they had changed fiercely.
The Rouran cavalry panicked, and someone shouted: "The big commander is dead, the big man is dead!" ”
The Rouran cavalry had already lost their morale, and many of them were trying to break out of the encirclement and escape, but Dana's death made them even more frightened, and they just wanted to escape, and they didn't want to fight the Wei army at all.
Under Mulan's order, the encirclement began to tighten, and more and more Rouran cavalry drove to the middle of the encirclement, and the Wei cavalry kept running around the periphery, constantly firing arrows at the Rouran cavalry in the encirclement, and groups of Rouran cavalry were shot.
Oiran, who was standing beside Mulan, said to Mulan, "General, why don't you let the archers also shoot arrows at the Rouran cavalry in the encirclement?" ”
Hua Mulan raised her hand: "Now these Rouran cavalry are already turtles in the urn, and they can't escape!" Heaven has the virtue of a good life, send an order, let everyone stop attacking, and send someone to shout for the Rouran people to surrender! Give them ten breaths of time to think about it, if they don't surrender within ten breaths, it will be their own death, but they can't complain about me Mulan! ”
Several heralds galloped outside the encirclement, shouting incessantly: "The general has an order, stop attacking, stop attacking!" ”
Gradually, the Wei cavalry and infantry stopped attacking, and no more arrows were fired.
The scene fell silent, and the Rouran cavalry who were surrounded in the middle were panicked one by one.
