Chapter 162: The Great Defeat and Loss

The Don army stepped on the corpse of the enemy and killed it one step at a time! One Knife, One Life! As time passed, it became more and more tacit, and the speed of the advance became faster and faster, and the result was that the Turkic elite cavalry became more and more unable to deploy.

The effect of the Mo Dao Array was huge, and the results were amazing, even Luo Tong couldn't think of it, and as the target of the slaughter, the Turks couldn't figure it out.

Obviously, they have the advantage in terms of strength, but at this moment, the large number of people has become an elbow between each other, and the people who are squeezed in the middle can't even stretch out their arms, how can they kill the enemy?

The front desperately retreated, while the rear desperately squeezed forward in the shouting of their unknown generals, and the Turkic army became a pot of porridge, and they could not advance or retreat, so they could only wait for death in the crowd.

The Tang Army's strange sword combat method made all the fierce grassland khans and chieftains couldn't help but be stunned......

"Team 3, Team 4! Give me a surprise attack from the left and right flanks. "Jieli is not a fool,

Immediately aimed at the Mo Dao formation, and found a way to break the formation. Break up the cavalry lineup to reduce the power of the opponent's strong crossbow shots, use the left and right flanks as the attack points, and attack the weak points of the Mo Dao formation from the side, trying to use the impact of the cavalry to break down the Mo Dao array one by one.

Frontal attack, completely contained.

Jieli pinned his hopes on the left and right wings.

Listening to the sound of the people on the left and right wings shouting and killing horses, it turned out that the soldiers and horses on the left and right wings also launched a decisive battle with the Tang army. Where they were, they were all in the air, and their sight was obstructed by the frontal attacking Turks, and they could not see the movement of the left and right flanks, nor did they know what the battle was like.

According to the arrangement of the Tang army, they adopted the left, center, and right tactics, and now the front was suppressed and killed and retreated, and Jieli did not have the heart to take a closer look, so he pulled the reins and moved to the left for a distance of several hundred meters to investigate the situation of the cavalry on the left flank.

At this glance, the eyes were torn apart, and the left, which was known for its mobility, was also caught in a bitter battle.

Luo Tong did not fight with the courage of a puppet this time, but fulfilled the duties of a commander and commanded the army to fight.

Mo Dao Hand has a strong target, when the Antler Array offsets the impact advantage of the Turkic cavalry, the front has achieved an overwhelming advantage, and the Turkic cavalry is pressed step by step, and the front is so, he naturally focuses on the left and right flanks.

The entire army formation, the left and right flanks are indeed considered weak points.

The inherent lack of mobility and flexibility makes it difficult for them to make different changes in a short period of time to cope with the ever-changing battle situation. But the 30,000 troops under his command were not a single army, and when he saw that the Turkic cavalry on the left and right flanks had already approached, he did not hesitate to bring out sword and shield soldiers and pikemen.

Round shields, short knives, and light armor are the standard equipment of sword and shield soldiers, and this class is good at hand-to-hand combat, which is characterized by flexibility and strong hand-to-hand combat. The Turks intended to tear the gap with the mobility of the cavalry on the left and right flanks, but the sword and shield taught the Turkic cavalry a hard lesson.

A number of small phalanxes composed of sword and shield soldiers collided fiercely with the Turkic cavalry, of course, this is not looking for death...... Instead, they relied on their agility, like windmills, to skillfully avoid the front of the Turkic cavalry with the help of their rotation, fiercely striking at the flank of the Turkic army, and cutting off the Turkic offensive from the flank.

Originally, the cavalry on the left and right flanks used a roundabout tactic, which was not as strong as the two frontal assaults. Relying on this, the sword and shield soldiers saw that they were interspersed with the flanks, constantly rotating, and simply crushing the wave after wave of offensive launched by the Turkic cavalry. And when the Turkic cavalry was entangled with the sword and shield soldiers, the pikemen also showed their fangs, and the spears were like poisonous snakes, piercing one by one!

In the open space between the two armies, the men and horses on both sides were killed and wounded, and the ground was stained red with blood, and the scene was extremely tragic.

Seeing that their left flanks could not take advantage of the dexterity of the sword and shield soldiers, Jie Li did not look at the right flank, he knew that the result was no different from the left flank, so there was no need for that.

The front was extremely miserable, and the left and right were entangled with each other, and they were slightly defeated......

Jie Li looked at the tall and thin man who looked like a scholar in the midst of the ten thousand armies, under the banner of the majestic "Xiazhou Duduluo", and felt powerless in his heart.

This is a complete suppression in tactical play and the advantage of multi-arm cooperative operations!

While commanding the army to fight, Luo Tong paid attention to the weather and looked up at the sky from time to time.

Before noon, the Tang army had always had the upper hand with excellent tactics, but by the afternoon, the pressure on the Tang army was obviously greater.

After a fierce battle for a morning, the Tang army had only 30,000 people, and these 30,000 people were constantly wearing down in continuous battles, and their physical strength was also lost little by little with the passage of time, and their combat effectiveness was also declining little by little.

The Turkic soldiers were different, they were divided into six groups, taking turns to rest and take turns to fight, and always maintained a certain combat effectiveness. As for consumption, not to mention, they have an army of 200,000 troops, and the posture of complete consumption is completely a tactic of fighting with the Tang army.

At this time in the afternoon, the advantage of the Tang army no longer existed, and the offensive and defense gradually leveled off, half an hour later. The Don army was already at a disadvantage.

An hour later, the Tang army's strength was crumbling. It is necessary for Li Yesi, Almaty, and Fang Yiai to go into battle to forcibly repel the enemy army, stabilize the position, and forcibly move the disadvantage back.

An hour and a half later, the Tang army unexpectedly stabilized and once again recovered its disadvantage with fatigue.

Two hours later, little by little, the advantage returned to the hands of the Tang army.

The battle has come to this point. There are only a few people who can keep their minds clear!

Except for the great khan of Jieli, every remaining khan of the Turks had personally gone into battle, and at this moment they were all as tired as dogs, lying on their horses and panting. Jieli's brows shrank tighter and tighter. It's even a little inexplicable.

The battle began early in the morning. It has been three quarters now, and it has been nearly four hours and eight hours.

At this moment, the casualties of the Tang army on the other side were at least half, and they paid more than three times the price, but even so, they were still defeated by the Tang army, what is the situation?

Dry mouth.

Jieli only felt that his throat was burning like fire, and he couldn't help but take down the kettle and shake it. He poured it into his mouth, and there was not a drop of water.

"Fetch water for Lao Tzu...... Jieli irritably threw the kettle to the guard beside him.

The guard next to him didn't react at once, and directly let the wine jug smash on his body, only to have the guard fall directly from the horse to the ground.

Looking at the motionless guards on the ground, Jieli suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly looked left and right, only to see that the Turkic soldiers were lying on the ground resting like dead dogs, and the leather armor on their bodies was pulled aside, almost sticking out their tongues and panting.

"Rotong, you're not human! I'm not done with you in this life. ”

Jieli roared and roared, but his voice was hoarse, and he couldn't even hear himself.

At this time, Jieli Khan was about to cry, his long-term domination of the world caused him to be empty-eyed, he only wanted to destroy the enemy in front of him, so he was too eager to succeed, thus ignoring the physical strength of the soldiers.

In fact, he did not ignore the physical strength of the soldiers, and he knew that he had always noticed this from the wheel battle.

The reason for all this is that he ignores the damn weather and ignores the direction of the wind!

Luo Tong lined up with Yi as a backer, forcing the Turkic soldiers who had traveled hundreds of miles to immediately enter the battle before they had time to catch their breath.

The Turks were indeed physically fit and not overwhelmed, but now is the season when the strong north wind carries the snowflakes.

This attack against the wind, by the resistance of the strong air, not to mention the power decreased, the momentum of the forward rush also became very laborious, especially the eyes were blown by the strong wind, pierced by snowflakes, only for a while, tears flowed loudly.

They took turns to rest, which was physically exhausted at the front, and then they retired and came back to rest. It's even more miserable than not resting. The Turkic soldiers who came from a long distance did not have sufficient physical strength, and they had to fight harshly against the north wind against the direction of the wind, and these factors added up, and their physical strength was naturally several times that of the Tang army......

This kind of consumption was something they couldn't make up for after resting, because of the help of the climate and wind direction, the more the Turkic soldiers rested, the more weak they became, and the more they rested, the more lazy they became, which in turn gave the Tang army, which had been tired from the long battle, the upper hand.

Therefore, this kind of one-sided massacre now is not because the Tang army is getting stronger and stronger, but because they are getting weaker and weaker the more they fight.

It's almost an hour before the sun goes down. If the soldiers let the strong wind blow down again, the army will definitely finish playing here.

"Withdraw! Retreat to the Shuobei grassland! ”

Jieli, who gave the order, was a little uneasy, and he was like a snake and scorpion for the cunning and shameless Luo Tong: "What is the strength of Qibi, you retreat with some soldiers and horses!" ”

He was absolutely right in his concerns.

Just when the Turkic soldiers were given orders, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Sudden mutation!

A chirp rang out in the sky, bursting through the air.

This is a unique signal arrow of the Tang Dynasty, and the Turks also have a Ming Di, but they will not explode, and the Ming Di of the Tang Dynasty is mixed with the principle of artillery and has an explosive effect.

Dada!

The sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded, and two energetic Tang cavalry rushed out from the mountain.

The Turkic cavalry, who were still fighting with the Tang army in front of them, and who had not had time to retreat, were not psychologically prepared for these two cavalry that suddenly appeared, and they couldn't help but be in an uproar and chaos.

Jieli's face was pale, no matter what, he couldn't have imagined that it would be like this, and Luo Tong would still be able to hide his soldiers and horses. Now that he had given the order to retreat, the soldiers could not wait to move as soon as they received such an order, and the enemy behind them was still taken into account.

Luo Tong has been keeping an eye on the movements of the Turkic army, and now the Turkic soldiers are at a disadvantage, and the exhaustion of physical strength is visible at a glance. Originally, I didn't realize it because it didn't affect the overall performance, but at this point, it would be stupid to not realize it.

It turns out that Jieli is only an afterthought, and he has not yet reached the point of stupidity. So when Jieli ordered the withdrawal of the army, he also took out the Ming Di from the quiver at the first time and shot it into the sky.

Two cavalry teams totaling 10,000 led by Cheng Chuliang and Xin Fang'er almost fell from the sky, and they were killed in a hurry.

These cavalrymen were already warlike soldiers, and they sat and watched their comrades fight hard for most of the day, and they felt very uncomfortable, and they felt ashamed of the robes of the dead, so they held back a sense of resentment in their chests.

This cavalry originally had an invincible attack, so that Luo Tong's pressure was a force to hold back in one place, and now when the order to go out to battle arrived, it exerted an amazing strength beyond the usual. One by one, like a fierce tiger, they descended from the mountain and slaughtered the Turkic army with great vigor and strength.

Especially Cheng Chuliang, everywhere he passed, bursts of blood mist were splashed in a radius of several zhang, and the big heads were chopped around by the big axe.

"The Turkic dog was frightened and retreated! Brothers, do you dare to fight with me again! Luo Tonggao raised his spear and roared presumptuously, the already tired Tang army saw that they still had reinforcements, and the glory of 40,000 foot soldiers repelling 120,000 elite cavalry rippled in his chest, no matter whether he could fight or not, whether he shouted or not.

This moment all converged into one word...... "Dare!" ”

The mountains roared and the tsunami resounded out of the sky.

Fang Yiai's voice had already been hoarse in the rush and killing, but at this moment, for this daring word, he felt that even if his voice was dumb, he would not hesitate to do it.

30,000 foot soldiers repelled 190,000 Turkic elite cavalry, which was a result he could never have dreamed of before......

And the man who raised his gun and shouted in his eyes, he did it.

used one of the most easily ignored daily truths, using trench traps and rejecting antler arrays, forcibly exhausted the physical strength of the 190,000 Turkic army, and showed his fangs at the most critical time.

"Haha! The big knife in my old house has only cut fifteen holes, and it hasn't been wasted yet! Fang Yiai was covered with blood and sweat, and his clothes and armor had already been torn off. His Mo knife was forged from pure steel, and even hundreds of steels were cut off, which shows how much blood he drank and how many heads he cut off under his big knife.

Yao Chi followed and gathered, this heroine, at this moment, was like a fish out of a sea of blood, she couldn't find a clean place on her body, and her sweat couldn't wash off the blood condensed on her body at all, and her mount was directly dyed purple and black by blood.

What Luo Tong's spear pointed at was the direction of Jieli's retreat.

10,000 cavalry, under the leadership of Luo Tong, Yao Chi, Cheng Chuliang, Li Yesi, Fang Yiai, Almaty, and Xin Fang'er, rushed to the Turkic retreat Khan's Daxu.

The rest of the Turkic soldiers who had not yet withdrawn, Luo Tong did not care about it at all, they still had about 10,000 combat strength, which was enough to deal with the remnants of the Turkic soldiers who had no morale and were terrified.

10,000 cavalry, just like this, beat the back of the Turkic soldiers' buttocks.

After being pursued for more than ten miles, it was not until he was forced to break his wrist and send his henchmen to fight to the death before ending the ridiculous situation and resisting the ferocious impulse. But the 10,000 Turkic soldiers behind the palace were almost wiped out.

Jieli didn't let go of his breath, and he was killed by Zhao Feiyang and Niu Tong who were ambushed on the road! Later, Liu Boying, who heard the news, led the border army with the weakest combat effectiveness, although this army was weak, but when fighting the remnants of the Turkic army who were physically and fearless, it burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, and the number of killings was more than that of Zhao Feiyang and Niu Tong in front......

In this epic battle, Luo Tong's Mo Dao Army has sacrificed nearly 20,000 wounds. That is, in frontal battles, the Don army lost almost 20 thousand people.

However, the Turks paid an even more tragic price, with almost 50,000 casualties. More than 50,000 people were seriously or lightly injured.

With 30,000 foot soldiers and 190,000 elite cavalry, the Tang army broke through the cavalry and repelled more than six times the strong enemy...... The number of kills, wounds, and captures is as high as 100,000

In this battle, the Tang army fought extremely hard, but the victory was brilliant and beautiful, and countless war horses were captured, and Jieli fled in a hurry, and even the wolf's head Daxu that had been passed down from generation to generation fell into the hands of the Tang army.

Thinking that the jade seal of the country is still in the hands of the remnants of the Sui Dynasty, Luo Tong asked people to keep the wolf head Daxu carefully.
