Chapter 757: Crazy Counterattack (XVII)

Gao Tang and Chen Cheng studied a strategy to flank the 200,000 Tatar troops who were rushing to the aid of Pingdu. And they flanked with 100,000 men.

50,000 men had already found their way through the mountains on the east side of Pingliang Prefecture to catch up with the tail of the Tatar army. Another force of 50,000 men set out from Pingdu to meet the Tatar army head-on.

The adjacency matrix wins.

Because of the Tatar war horses, the cavalry of the Han army increased correspondingly. Most of the 200,000 troops of the Tatars were infantry, because the Black Tiger Ridge was a mountainous area, and the cavalry was useless.

The Han army that set out from Pingdu was led by Li Jun, while the army that attacked the rear of the Tatar army was led by Wang Ren, who was the strongest of the battalion commanders, and Gao Tang trusted both of them.

Li Jun set up camp fifty miles southeast of Pingdu and waited for the arrival of the Tarnu army.

"Report, the Tatars are still ten miles away." A spy came to the big tent to report.

"Revisit." Li Jun said with a wave of his hand as he sat behind the case.

"It's the general." The spy turned and went.

An hour and a half passed. The spies came back to report.

"General, the Tatar army is five miles away from us."

Li Jun stood up after hearing Huo's and ordered, "Prepare to attack." ”

The soldiers on both sides immediately replied in unison: "Yes." ”

Then, Li Jun strode out of the battle with the hilt of his waist knife in his hand, followed by ten young soldiers.

Out of the big tent, Li Jun immediately attacked in accordance with the formulated tactics.

There are three routes in total, one to attack the center and two to attack the flanks. And the place where Li Jun chose to camp was a valley, not to mention that there were many Tatar slave troops, but they couldn't exert their strength.

"Report, the Tarnus are two miles away." Another spy came to report quickly.

"Pass my command, go." Li Jun waved the big flag in his hand and shouted.

Suddenly, the three military horses rushed forward together.

The three-way army saw that the Tatar army was moving unhurriedly, and the speed did not decrease, and rushed over. The musketeers in front of them began to shoot out.

The Tatar army was ill-prepared and immediately went into disarray.

"Give me steady, steady. The crossbowmen returned fire, returned fire. Several Tatar generals shouted.

However, Li's army was flanked on three sides, and for a while the Tatar army did not know which part to attack. In the midst of the chaos, the Musketeers had already entered the Tatar army.

The two armies immediately fell into a hand-to-hand battle.

The Tarnus' bows and crossbows were useless, and in close combat, the musketeers carried bayonets and armor made of stainless steel, although the Tarnus were brave and their scimitars were sharp, but their confusion caused them to remain no match for the musketeers.

The musketeers can fight hand-to-hand while also firing guns.

The 50,000 men of Li's army dispersed the 200,000-strong Tatar army in less than half an hour. And the army behind can't rush forward to help, because this is a valley, although it is also quite wide, but because there are too many people, the situation is too chaotic, and the army behind is also beyond the reach of the whip, so they can only be in a hurry.

"Retreat, retreat." Several generals fought in unison, shouting at the same time. Their intentions are also obvious. Retreat first, dodge the Han army, and then regroup for a counterattack.

You must know that in the battle at that time, once the sergeants did not get unified orders and tactics, no matter how many people there were, it was just a plate of scattered sand.

At this time, Li Jun's army was just the opposite, they had goals and tactics. There is a unified order. The attack can be described as the simultaneous use of the three armies. The attack power is naturally strong.

The Tatars began to retreat, but their numbers were too large and their mobility was so poor that they were like hundred-legged insects, and they were slow to turn around.

Li Jun's war drums thundered behind him.

Knock knock knock...... The Tarnon army was terrified.

Behind the musketeers were ordinary infantry, but their combat capabilities were probably stronger than those of the Tarnu army. The Tatar army is powerful with cavalry, but there is no one here.

When the troops were distributed, the cavalry went to attack the land of Pingdu. The part of the mountain that was attacked turned out to be a cavalry detachment that was not equipped. In fact, this is also understandable, Heihuling is full of mountains, jungles, shrubs, and rocks, and horses don't walk as fast as people there.

By the time the Tatars had completely turned around, they had lost at least 30,000 troops. Moreover, Lee's army was still in pursuit, and the death toll rose in a stepwise manner.

The Tatar army was routed out of the valley, but it was again greeted by a hill. They retreated towards the hills. Before reaching the top of the mountain, Wang Ren's army rushed down from the top of the mountain.

The momentum was like a flash flood, surging forward.

When the Tartar slave saw it, he was terrified at the first time. At this time, they did not want to meet the battle, but retreated in unison. But their retreat was too slow. The flood immediately crushed their front army.

For a while, the sound of gunfire and fighting resounded in the mountains.

The combat strength of the Tatar army plummeted, and it was crushed. Retreat back, and there is a pursuit of Li Jun behind. They had no choice but to retreat to one of the two sides, and they naturally chose to retreat to the east.

The retreat also began in the middle of the ranks, only here it had not yet been attacked by the Han army.

A long snake bent outward from its waist.

But the head and tail of the long snake were being eaten by two beasts.

In the end, the long snake, with only a section of its waist left, successfully escaped to the east.

A volley was declared a complete victory.

Li Jun and Wang Ren's armies converged in the valley. The two met and hugged each other to celebrate the victory.

Wang Ren said: "We can go back and resume our lives." ”

Li Jun said: "Yes, you can go back to your life." General Gao will be very happy when he hears this. ”

Wang Ren nodded and said, "That's nature. After saying that, he laughed.

Li Jun also laughed.

What a joy!

At this time, the soldiers who counted the battlefield came to report. Said: "Report to the two adults." In this interception, 100,000 enemy troops were annihilated, and 100,000 sabers and 40,000 crossbows were captured. ”

"What about the damage to our army?" Li Jun asked.

The soldier replied, "Our army has 1,200 dead and 500 wounded. A hundred muskets were snatched away by the Tartars. ”

Li Jun and Wang Ren glanced at each other and both smiled slightly. The meaning is clear. The exchange of more than a thousand men and a hundred muskets for 100,000 Taruns was definitely a great deal.

"Okay, you go down." Li Jun said.

"It's the general." The little soldier bowed his hand and went down.

Li Jun said: "General Wang, let's take the troops back to Pingliangzhou now." ”

"Let's go." Wang Ren agreed loudly.

The two rode on their horses hand in hand and went to Pingliangzhou with a victorious team. The location where they are now does not belong to the boundaries of Pingliang Prefecture. Pingliang Prefecture is a place surrounded by mountains on three sides, so Liu Yongcai made a stubborn strategy.
