Chapter 914: A River of Blood
"Drive, drive......"
"Driving ......"
"Driving ......"
Thousands of horses galloped, and horses' hooves trampled on the muddy grassland. It was raining and cold to the bone, but in the hearts of the three thousand reinforcements, there was a fierce fighting spirit and a desire for victory.
Nilhar's army under Kuman was as many as 20,000, and together with the defenders in Kuman, the Kpchak were five times stronger than the Qi army. But if there is really no leakage of news, Yao Youzhong is at least sixty percent sure that he can defeat the enemy with one blow.
Sixty percent of the certainty of defeating more than six times the enemy's army, even if the enemy's quality is insufficient, but it is enough to add a heavy stroke to Yao Youzhong's already good resume.
It is now fifty miles south of Kuman, and the nearest enemy camp is twenty miles away. As far as the scouts inquired, there were less than a thousand soldiers and horses in the camp there. This is a sentry nature.
The heavy rain really made the Kpchaks retract their claws, and Yao Youzhong's army advanced to a distance of fifty miles from Kuman City, and the Scout was stunned that he hadn't yet bumped into a kupchak sentry.
Braving the cold rain, the hard work of the days seems to have borne fruit. The whole army was indescribably fierce and passionate from top to bottom.
Cold, that's nothing. Breaking the enemy six times as much as his own combat exploits, that is a great achievement! Even with the current prosperity of the Lu Qi Dynasty, this is also a great achievement. The fighting power of the nomads is not strong, but they are difficult to contain. The left flank of Na Zhan Ke Ye took the wrong road and attacked the Central Asian army of the Lu Qi army, as if he was killing himself.
After all, the Kpchaks are no longer purely nomadic people, and they have essentially turned into a semi-nomadic and semi-settled life.
Zhan Ke Ke couldn't lose those cities, and he couldn't give full play to the power of the nomadic cavalry, that is, he used his own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths. That's why it ended so miserably.
However, if the Kpchaks on the right flank could learn a lesson and understand that their strength could not hold the city at all, it would be impossible to defend the city with a part of their forces, as they did with the soldiers and horses of the Central Asian countries, and then break the enemy with a large number of mobile cavalry. If they completely abandon the city and rely only on mobility to circle the Qi army on the steppe, then it will be troublesome.
Therefore, now that 20,000 Kepchak cavalry have gathered in Kuman City, it is a godsend. Defeating them with a single blow will not only inflict a heavy blow on the entire right-wing units and greatly damage their strength, but will also give them a great deterrent.
After that, as long as the "damned people" are cut off, then it can be like the left flank of Yangji Gancheng after the first battle, and the Lu Qi horse army waved a large banner to recruit rebels in the area east of the Caspian Sea.
This is a real achievement, not inferior to the battle of the left in the slightest.
Yao Youzhong has instilled these in their minds over and over again for many days.
And Lu Qijingqi, who was blinded by meritorious deeds, was not afraid of all difficulties and obstacles. Warriors who are motivated by real benefits and glory can overcome all the enemies before them.
"General, it's here." Zhang Zhongfu was excited, among the people who surrendered from the Shu Song Dynasty, except for Liu Qi, who chose to take the initiative to retire, Liu Guangguo also withdrew from the army after winning the title of 'national soldier', and among the old people, only the best of the five people were the best, and they all ate under Yue Fei, but the rest of the people could only watch others eat meat, and their bones were difficult to gnaw, at most they were a soup drinker. Why isn't Zhang Zhongfu excited to hit the 'great achievement' at the moment? All the pro-army soldiers around Yao Youzhong were excited.
The night was dark and the rain was pouring down. Yao Youzhong couldn't even see the outline of the camp, let alone the situation inside the Kupchak camp. He only saw a small river, and he knew where the Kpchaks were.
Facing the river, it is naturally the camp of the Kpchaks.
Wang De led his subordinates to the forefront. Holding an iron fork in his hand, his face was hideous, like a yaksha.
Now, all the distractions receded from Wang De's mind, and a pair of eyes bloomed fiercely, staring deadly ahead, paying close attention to every movement in the darkness ahead.
The two generals Hu Yantong and Xie Yuan each led a battalion of horse troops to quietly outflank them from both flanks.
Five, four, three......
"How-" A wolf howl suddenly came from the front.
In the rear, Yao Youzhong frowned, but then he opened up. There were only two miles left, and such a close distance had already exceeded his previous expectations.
"Blow the trumpet, attack now." Without hesitation, Yao Youzhong made a quick decision and immediately decided to launch a full-scale attack.
There is no nonsense from the trumpeters, and at this time there is no more thing that makes the blood of the Kpchaks boil more.
"Boom, boom, boom—" The sound of thundering horses' hooves sounded.
"Zhang Zhongfu, lead a battalion to do the rear battalion. The rest of the soldiers and horses, follow me behind-" Yao Youzhong alone controls the two battalions of elite cavalry, as a reserve. To deal with the Kpchaks who are less than a thousand people, it is not possible to use 3,000 iron horsemen.
With or without intention, a sneak attack on ten is still in hand, let alone a sneak attack by superior forces. If you can't play well, then what are you messing around in the battlefield!? Go home early to wash and sleep peacefully.
"Kill!" Three battalions, 1,500 elite cavalry, rushed straight to the camp on the high ground by the river in three ways, and Zhang Zhongfu led a battalion of soldiers and horses to follow Wang De and then fought into it.
"Kill!" The sound of killing echoed through the night.
The leader of the Kpchak people woke up from his sleep, he had drunk too much last night, and now he had a splitting headache, although he instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but he did not understand what was happening.
He had been taking people here for more than ten days, and his vigilance was gone, and because it had been raining in recent days, he had to stay in the tent and drink. I didn't expect that Yangji Gancheng would send troops to rescue!
His own soldiers broke in, "Master, it's the enemy, and many enemies are rushing towards us. ”
The head man jumped up, and a sense of danger followed.
Yes. Isn't the sound of the earth shaking like the horse's hooves beating on the earth? "Let's go, let's go!"
The raid on the grassland is even more deadly, especially in the current situation, many people are afraid that they will be killed without even finding their horses, how can they resist? Running away now is the right choice.
"Let's go, let's go. The enemy came quickly, and in any case, the news had to be told to the Great Khan. ”
The voice was still wafting, and the man had already grabbed his gem-encrusted scimitar and rushed out of the tent.
The scorching shouts of killing came from outside, in conjunction with the horn of the landing Qi army.
The sound of the horn was a bit bleak, especially on this rainy night in late autumn. But in the past ten years, it was in the sound of such a horn that Lu Qi's iron cavalry swept away one enemy after another, and they were the sharpest minions of the empire.
In the spray of blood, armored cavalry burst in and cut down the horses like mowing grass for the Kpchaks who had just mounted their horses or had just rushed out of the tent with knives and guns.
Blood splattered everywhere in the incessant screams, skulls rolled off, and severed limbs flew sideways.
Rows of formidable enemies galloped across the camp like a tidal wave. This was a complete massacre, even worse than the massacre of Yang Zaixing's extermination of the Tuqi Shibu that day.
The corpses of Kupchak were strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed profusely.
