Xin Ai Huang Taiji didn't expect that Liu Mengyang on the opposite side didn't think about rushing through the chaotic stone henge at all, what he wanted was a battle, a continuous war of attrition.

But when he noticed that the number of Southern Tang barbarians on the opposite side was wrong, it was already too late!

Because it was a full hour later!

In the past hour, he has sent three groups of cavalry reinforcements, the first two groups are directly rushed up, trying to widen the gap, the Tang Army's defensive forces completely crushed, but after finding it difficult to break through, he risked letting the cavalry disperse from the two flanks of the Stonehenge, but in this way, the many piles of rubble they had arranged before became an obstacle to their attack from the two wings.

Three groups of reinforcements, plus a thousand cavalry led by the first Bobatu.

In the past hour, he has thrown in a total of more than 3,500 cavalry!

They had already successively defeated their multiple phalanxes, killed and injured many Tang infantry, and forced the remnants of the Tang infantry to rely on many vehicle formations to support it, as if they would be able to completely break through the vehicle formations of the Southern Tang barbarians in the next moment.

However, even if it seems that the situation that can break through the Southern Tang Barbarian Car Formation in the next moment, it still fails to make Xin Ai Huang Taiji feel at ease.

Because, he had seen a similar situation three times before!

The previous three times, he saw that the Southern Tang barbarians in front of him were about to collapse, and tried to completely defeat them by increasing troops, but each time, the Southern Tang barbarians on the opposite side would choose the same reinforcement to resist, and at the same time, he gradually gave up the defense line, until now he has completely hidden behind many vehicles, relying on the vehicle defense.

Such a situation made him feel uneasy!

Not because of the anxiety that they couldn't attack for a long time, but because of the huge casualties on their own side!

It is undeniable that their attack lasted for an hour, causing a large number of casualties to the Southern Tang barbarians on the opposite side, even if it was impossible to accurately count them on the fierce battlefield, but through visual inspection, he could judge that the Southern Tang barbarians on the opposite side had at least more than 1,500 casualties!

However, their Tatar cavalry achieved such a huge result, and their own losses were also not small, at least a thousand cavalry fell on the way to attack.

The casualties are so heavy, if it were in normal times, these Tatar cavalry would have been unable to hold on, and the reason why they were able to maintain the offensive all the time was because Xin Ai Huang Taiji continued to increase his troops, and at the same time, this battle has been so far, both sides have already killed red eyes, especially the soldiers on both sides of the front-line battle, where there is still the fear of death and injury at the beginning of the battle, all of them seem to have lost their minds, just relying on instinct to fight.

Even, the Tatar cavalry in front had already given up their horses and dismounted directly to fight on foot!

This kind of hand-to-hand combat will make people forget everything, forget fear, forget tactics, and only the most instinctive fighting remains.

You stab me with a knife, directly exchange one life for another, this is the truest portrayal of this battle!

At the beginning, Xin Ai Huang Taiji was still excited because of the bravery of the soldiers under his command, but now, he is not excited at all, on the contrary, there is a kind of fear.

He couldn't help but have an idea, that is, if he continued to fight like this, he could certainly annihilate all the Southern Tang barbarians on the other side, well, he still had a lot of confidence in this.

However, my own losses may not be small, and more than half of the losses are probably light!

Two or three thousand of the most elite warriors of the Tumut tribe were exchanged for more than four thousand Southern Tang barbarians, and there were hundreds of carriages on the opposite side and countless baggage on them.

At first glance, it seems to be a big profit.

But is it really making a lot of money?

He began to doubt!

No, soon he just began to regret it!

It's definitely not a good deal!

Because at this moment, he thought of a lot of things, and he suddenly thought that the transport force of the Southern Tang barbarians on the opposite side was just an inconspicuous partial division among the many armies of the Southern Tang barbarians, and such a transport force, the Southern Barbarians could send out the second and third at any time.

Even if it was the many materials transported above, these materials were naturally extremely valuable in the eyes of his love Huang Taiji, which was enough for tens of thousands of troops to use grain and grass and a large number of ordnance.

However, these materials are nothing to the Southern Tang barbarians.

He knew very well that in the defense line of the Great Wall in the south, those southern barbarians had hoarded almost a huge amount of grain, grass, ordnance and ammunition!

These materials are nothing to the Tang Empire.

But on the other hand, his 5,000 cavalry was the most elite cavalry force of the Tumut tribe, and it was the core force of himself and his father Altan Khan who controlled the 30,000 households on the right flank, and even the entire Tatar.

If most of it were to be lost here today, the ripple effects would be enormous.

When Xin Ai Huang Taiji thought like this, the others spoke: "General, we are almost the last point to be able to break through those Southern Barbarian Car Formation!" ”

It was a strong man with a beard on his face, short in height, but extremely stout, if it was a wrestler, he would definitely be a good hand, and on the battlefield, such a person would also be the most brave samurai.

At this time, he continued: "The last general will lead the headquarters to rush up!"

Xin Ai Huang Taiji glanced at him and said secretly in his heart!

He was blinded by the illusion in front of him, just like his previous self

Not only were the soldiers fighting in front red-eyed, but even the soldiers in the rear were also infected by the heroic battle in front of them, so that they lost their minds.

Xin Ai Huang Taiji raised his hand slightly, and said, "No! ”

After a slight pause, he said again: "Order, withdraw troops!" ”

"What, withdraw troops?" Everyone seemed to be unable to believe what they heard, and thought that they had heard it wrong, and immediately one of them said: "Do you really want to withdraw the troops?" ”

Another human: "How can you withdraw your troops?" It was not easy for us to push them into a corner, and we have already killed and injured nearly two thousand of them, and there are at most two thousand people in the remnants of those southern barbarians, and more than half of them are still those young and strong, as long as we work harder, we will definitely be able to break through their car formation! ”

The words of these few people immediately received a response from a group of people, all of whom said:

yes, as long as we fight again, we will definitely be able to fight it.

We have fought for so long, we have killed and wounded so many warriors, and now that victory is in sight, how can we give up so easily.

If we persist, we will be able to wipe out all these southern barbarians.

Many people look at me and say a word, although the words are different, but the meaning is the same, and they all need to continue fighting.

However, Xin Ai Huang Taiji glanced around at the generals, and then said: "I have made up my mind, withdraw the troops!" ”

After speaking, he continued to stare at everyone, and then said: "Don't you all see it, the southern barbarians on the opposite side didn't think about rushing over at all, if they want to rush over, then from the beginning, they will do their best to rush forward, instead of gradually increasing their troops like before."

Although they have suffered heavy casualties now, it seems that they can only rely on the car formation to survive and collapse at any time, but in the past half an hour, how many times have they experienced similar situations? ”

At this time, he raised three fingers: "Three times, three times!" ”

"Every time they look like they're about to collapse, but every time we increase our troops, they shrink on their own initiative and hold on to it until now!"

"How many soldiers have we killed or wounded in the past half hour?"

"They don't want to rush out at all, they just want to exhaust our forces!"

"Just ask, how much did those southern barbarians lose this convoy? But if we lose a lot, how much does it cost us? ”

"What are we? We are the most elite warriors of the Tumut Division, we are cavalry, why should we fight with them here in hand-to-hand combat, fight with them to the death, why can't we attack them with the advantage of our cavalry? ”

Although Xin Ai Huang Taiji's words were a little scattered, they immediately made many Tatar generals wake up.

Yes, why do they want to fight such bloody hand-to-hand combat with the Southern Barbarians here, they are cavalry, why should they give up the advantage of cavalry and fight the infantry!

At first, it was just because they saw the opportunity to completely defeat the Southern Barbarians, and at the same time, they thought that as long as they worked harder, they would be able to take down the Southern Barbarians in front of them.

But now it seems that things are not going as they expected!

Perhaps, it's time to retreat!

Although there are still many Tatar generals who want to say something, or even explicitly oppose the withdrawal of troops, but as Xin Ai Huang Taiji said, I have made up my mind!

Therefore, the order for the Tatars to withdraw their troops was quickly passed down!

As the order to retreat was given, the Tatars who were fighting in front of them also gradually retreated.

When Liu Mengyang saw this scene, he sighed lightly and said, "It's a pity!" ”

But Cao Guangtao and other soldiers of the Tang Army who didn't know Liu Mengyang saw the Tatars retreating, but they all showed happy looks, and some even cheered!

Because the retreat of the Tatars means that they blocked the attack of the Tatars and successfully defended this batch of baggage!

Although Liu Mengyang was a little disappointed, it was only a small disappointment!

In this battle, although the Tatars came to their senses and retreated in time, in the past hour, at least a thousand Tatar cavalry had been lying on this land!

Plus the two hundred Tatar cavalry killed half a day ago!

On this day, his troops had already killed and wounded at least one thousand two hundred Tatar cavalry!

This figure is quite rare for a heavy force that has always been baggage!

As for the loss of dozens of wagons and nearly 2,000 soldiers in order to kill and wound these Tatar cavalry, it seemed to him that this was completely acceptable.

It's all worth it!

But he can accept it, it doesn't mean that others can accept it, and after the Tatars completely retreated, Cao Guangtao began to take people to treat the wounded and build a battlefield.

When he saw the corpses all over the ground and the wounded who were wailing, he sighed deeply!
