Chapter 262: The Time of Destruction
The death overture slowly unfolds!
Due to the huge disparity in power between the two warring parties, the whole battle was one-sided. And it comes and goes as fast as it comes. Most of the Khorezm soldiers, knowing that there was no way out, inevitably lost their fighting spirit.
Timur, as the commander of Khorezm's army, knew that he could not do it, but he wanted to do it. Lead the guards and try your best to charge to the left flank of the battlefield. In his opinion, there are loopholes in any encirclement technique.
Even if the cathars in front of him are more than ten times larger than their own army. But it is impossible to enclose the battlefield into an impermeable iron barrel. And judging from his own experience in fighting for many years, no knowledgeable general would choose such a stupid method.
After all, in many cases, fighting a war pays more attention to the overall strength of the soldiers and the commander's ability to grasp and mobilize the battlefield.
But the decline on the battlefield is irreversible.
Many Khorezm soldiers, who were a little far away from the Chinese army and faced the apologetic army, subconsciously put down their weapons. Especially after the cathars shouted the order not to kill those who surrendered, many soldiers surrendered.
Some soldiers who were still hesitating and waiting to see were directly cut off by the cathars.
As a result, there were even more Khorezm soldiers who laid down their weapons.
"No surrender! No surrender! Some Khorezm generals did not get the letter that Timur could surrender, and immediately ordered the soldiers to continue to resist the advance of the cathars. In order to deter everyone, he also killed several soldiers who put down their weapons one after another.
But he didn't have long before Abu Lais, the centurion of the sixth detachment of the 1st Chiyan Battalion of the Protectorate, noticed him.
"Brothers, draw your bows and shoot me!" As he spoke, he pointed to the direction where Khorezm's general was.
When the soldiers heard this, they all picked up two or three arrows from the arrow basket behind them and shot them in a volley. Because it was wartime, there was chaos. The enemy generals were caught off guard in an instant.
But because the enemy army gathered together, after the rain of arrows was fired. Although the enemy suffered heavy casualties, the enemy generals survived by the cover of other enemy troops.
Abu Laith did not delay and shouted: "Rush! Follow me to avenge my brother who died in battle! ”。 The soldiers who followed him were even more enthusiastic. They were all defeated soldiers captured by the enemy in the First Battle of the River Valley. Although he survived, that experience sounded disgraceful.
In addition, most of the brothers who fought with them died tragically at the hands of the enemy in the battle of the river valley. It wasn't until not long ago that the bones were collected by their own hands. Therefore, the hatred for the enemy army is a hundred times greater than that of ordinary cathar soldiers.
So they all raised their whips and swung their spears. Like a sharp sword, he rushed towards the position where Khorezm's generals were.
Along the way, all the enemy troops in their way were killed. The snow, which had long been trampled into mud, was also quickly stained red with blood. Smelling these smells, the soldiers of the cathar army were even more warlike.
But in the eyes of the enemy, it is a talisman of death. The spear dripping with blood was as its name suggested, with a chill that chilled the heart.
So in a short time, the cathar general rushed to the enemy's general.
Li Weiwei, who has been paying close attention to the trend of the battlefield, also noticed this brave Abu Lais. The chief of the Budaq tribe, Beggar Aheima, also noticed him at the same time. There was some appreciation: "I don't know what this young player is called?" First make the arrow array, and then make the rush to kill, it is really brave and strategic. He spoke Persian, but there were also a lot of Chinese loanwords. So that the combination makes people sound a little strenuous.
But the clerk next to Li Gao understood it. He immediately introduced: "This person is the centurion of the sixth detachment of the first battalion of the Guardian Army!" The beggar chieftain had seen him in the enemy camp before! ”。
As he spoke, a slight smile appeared on his face.
But he didn't believe it, and shook his head again and again: "No-no-no!" I haven't seen it. Such a man of valor, I have not fought against him. In the tone, there was a sense of fighting against the opponent.
The men in the bottom clan are the most convinced of the brave. And most of the time, they will compete with them in general to prove their bravery. And the beggar Aheima, who is not very old. Although he is the head of a family, according to the algorithm of the Han people, the virtual age is only thirty and two.
It's just that the days on the grassland are more difficult. The weather-beaten face looks more than ten years older than people of the same age.
Now when he saw Abu Lais, he felt a sense of war.
When the clerk heard this, the smile on his face was even greater. And he told him about the capture of Abu Rais. and the village of Ahrabad was denied the bridge to fight, so that their tribe could not advance or retreat, and it was also revealed.
Beggar Ahimama listened, only to suddenly realize.
At this time, Ab Lais, who rushed to the front, was about to kill the enemy general. An arrow, but it suddenly came at you. Immediately, the enemy general stiffened and dismounted
Abu Reis looked up and saw a grinning Slimali in front of him.
"Hehe... You're moving too slowly! As soon as he finished speaking, he led the soldiers below and galloped away.
With a heavy snort, Abu Rais led his soldiers to chase him away.
And their target was the Chinese army where Timur was located.
After a breakthrough regardless of casualties, Timur was on the verge of breaking through the cathars' defenses. But a rain of arrows suddenly shot from behind, causing the already small guards to be killed and wounded.
"Timur is destroyed, do you dare to fight me?!" , Slimali first asked the cathars to shoot arrows, and then took the initiative to invite the battle.
But Timur was not a fool either!
If he stays and fights, he won't be able to leave no matter if he wins or loses.
After all, the defense line here will soon be redeployed by the cathars.
So, as if he hadn't heard, he killed several cathar soldiers and rushed to the edge of the camp. Slimali secretly scolded Timur for not being fooled, so he had to speed up and chase after him.
Beggar Ahima, who was in the Chinese army, couldn't help but sweat for this. Because this is a good opportunity to defeat Timur! If he is allowed to escape, it is difficult to say that there will be such an opportunity next time. In addition, he led the Budak tribe to submit to the Protector Army, and it was said that he had to be destroyed by Timur and returned to the steppe.
Therefore, the tribes that remained in the steppe were probably annexed by other tribes.
With this in mind, he even wanted Timur to die at the hands of the cathars. In this way, it can be regarded as avenging the extermination of the race.
He took the initiative to ask for his life, and was willing to lead the tribes below to dedicate the head of Timur's extermination in front of the Li Gao table.
In this regard, Li Gao did not stop it. It's just a request that Timur must be captured alive! Anyway, the overall situation has been decided, and Timur's extinction, whether he lives or dies, cannot change the outcome of the defeat.
At the same time, the whole army was ordered to capture the soldiers of Timur Zhanli, and if they were less than 100 household chiefs, they could be promoted by two levels in a row, and 100 dinars were awarded. If the head of a hundred households is more than 100 households, he will be promoted to one level, and the prize will be 1,000 dinars and 10,000 dirkhans (silver coins).
This is a real benefit, which makes the already high morale of the Guardian Army burst out with unprecedented fighting spirit. One by one, under the leadership of his commander, they slew the enemy army and rushed to the direction where Timur was located.
