Chapter 1154: The Path of Despair
Ah Shibu suddenly felt as if he was in a dilemma.
On the north side, the Han army was advancing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and these guys were carrying an unknown number of Han slaves—to put it mildly, the "savings" of two or even three generations of Turks—rushing towards this side without hesitation, because the road was closer and there were no worries, so they advanced faster than the Turkic cavalry on both flanks could return to help.
And beside him, the Turks have long been in chaos, and the voices of calling children and daughters, crying fathers and mothers only feel sad in their hearts. Since defeating the Rouran people and dominating the steppe, although the Turks have not experienced ups and downs, when have they ever seen such a miserable scene in front of them?
Regardless of the outcome of this battle, at least the savings of several generations have been burned.
And in their own south, the situation of the war is obviously not so clear.
The chaos on the side of the Turkic Yehu tent has obviously completely affected the judgment of the Turkic cavalry, and the division tactics issued by the Turkic leader of the team have given Yu Yi and Xu Deyan a chance to break through, and now more than 5,000 Turkic cavalry have completely messed up, no longer retreating like before, but desperately rushing to this side, but behind them, the Han army is no longer a battalion step by step, frantically charging this side.
The Turkic trebuchet line was on the south side of the camp, and soon the Han army crossed the battle line, and almost all the trebuchets built by the Turks with great difficulty in mobilizing Han craftsmen and slaves were burned, and these trebuchets were really primitive for the Han army, which had weapons such as thunderbolts.
And after the trebuchet, there was the outlying camp of the Turks, and the cavalry of the Turks obviously did not care about these own people, which naturally caused even greater confusion.
From here to the north, the blood and fire are in the sky, and from here to the south, the sound of killing is pervasive.
Ah Shibu only felt that his hands and feet were cold.
There is no way to be endless, but now he really feels as if he is in hell, where even God has no way to favor him.
The Turkic cavalry gradually gathered around Ashibu, and at this time Ashibu found that he still had tens of thousands of soldiers to fight, of course, this is naturally not the same as the previous Turkic army, but at least these tens of thousands of people are out-and-out cavalry, and it is the foot soldiers of the Han family who advance to this side from the north and south.
Using cavalry against foot soldiers, even in this narrow river valley, Ah Shibu felt that he was not without a chance of winning.
The drums were beating, and in all directions, I don't know how many Han troops were advancing rapidly, they had crossed the camps that had been burned to ashes by the fire, and they had passed the Turkic women, women, and children who were destined to become their captives, and rushed straight towards this side!
"Ye Hu, we have to rush out!" One of the leaders shouted, "The Nanban's crossbow is really powerful, if we are blocked here, we will have only one way to die!" ”
To the south, or to the north?
Ah Shibu frowned, he didn't know how many people were killed in the south or north, and he didn't know what kind of "magic" the enemy used to suddenly turn the occupation in front of him into such a shape, he only knew that no matter what direction he looked at, it was a blood and fire.
Now there are large groups of enemies in the north and south, with mountain cliffs to the east and large rivers to the west······
Wait, it doesn't seem like there's no way out. Ah Shibu set his sights to the west.
At this time, the river is frozen.
"Whoosh!" The whistling sound of arrows pierced the air that seemed to have been stagnant, and countless arrows rained down. This was the Han army that arrived first, and their number seemed to be no more than a few hundred, but they rushed towards this side like crazy.
"Kill!" The captain of the Han team did not hesitate at all, and the spear in his hand pointed straight ahead.
All the soldiers of the Han family rushed into the broken group of Turkic cavalry, these were still waiting for the order of the Turkic Ye Hu, and they didn't even know whether Ye Hu was dead or alive, and they were suddenly confused by these Han troops.
When the cavalry did not raise the speed, it had little advantage other than being condescending, and it was impossible to really walk on horseback. Spears stabbed desperately at the enemy on horseback, and suddenly the cavalry scattered in panic.
"Kill!" More Han cavalry also rushed out of the camp at this time, and their decision was even more decisive, and they directly killed the combination of the two Turkic cavalry.
At this time in the south, I also saw a flag suddenly jump out of sight, the Han cavalry led by the horse pulled the reins fiercely, the war horse neighed, and between the sides, the red dragon flag of the Han family had been inserted on the half-collapsed point general platform.
Almost everyone, both Han Chinese and Turkic, saw this fluttering flag.
Countless Han troops rushed up from the north and south directions.
Yu Xi and Hou Mi suddenly separated with the cavalry, constantly interspersing into the depth of the enemy, intending to directly open up the communication between the northern and southern armies, and the Han soldiers in the north also desperately followed behind to expand this distance, and forcibly split the ranks of the Turkic cavalry.
"Let's go west!" Ah Shibu finally made a decision.
Or now he has no more choice, if he turns the horse's head, although both sides are defeated, but in fact, it is also the victory of the Han Dynasty, after all, the Turks can really be said to have lost everything in this battle, if even the cavalry that they rely on to gallop the steppe are lost, then the soldiers and horses that go west will really be wiped out in this place.
Ah Shibu knew that now was not the time to really fight these southern barbarians to the death, at least the scattered Turks did not have the capital.
The order was quickly conveyed, and the panicked Turkic cavalry finally calmed down, and each of them had 2,000 cavalry separated from the ranks to meet the enemy in the south and north, apparently they were the broken troops left behind, that is, the outright victims.
And the more than 1,000 Turkic cavalry that were cut off by Hou Mi and Yu Xi and left on the east side could no longer control them at this time. Countless arrows were almost chasing the footsteps of the Turks, and it was obvious that more and more Han soldiers had already rushed to this side, and even some crossbowmen simply ran forward while winding, eager to shoot arrows at the heads of the Turks.
"The last general Xi, Hou Mi, see the general!" Yu Xi and Hou Mi bowed to Yu Yi and Xu Deyan who came up at the same time, "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life!" ”
And a brigade of Han soldiers swept past them and pounced on the Turks.
"Well played!" Yu Yi reined in his war horse and looked at the situation in front of him, almost overnight, everything had been turned upside down, "It's really uplifting!" You two are the first to do this time! ”
In the midst of the flames, the Turks cried; Under the arrows, the Turks fled.
