Chapter 378: One Bad Move

"Order Yan Chixia to immediately launch a counter-charge and give me a top." The Changhong in the east made all the officers and soldiers of Gao Siji's corps instantly settle down, the reinforcements arrived as scheduled, there was never better news on the battlefield, Gao Siji's order was just issued, Yan Chixia took his troops and began to put into the counteroffensive, the mechanical crossbow was responsible for a guard in the east began to let go of all hands and feet, the crossbow arrows that were originally used to fight counterattacks were all moved and killed, the mechanical crossbow kept pouring fire forward, countless rockets rose into the air, and countless deadly fires bloomed in the night sky, The rumbling explosion made everything insignificant at this moment, and Yan Chixia's men took advantage of this rare cover and guidance to quickly cross the middle line with Cao Rengui's troops and attack forward.

At this time, Cao Rengui's 50,000 Guiyi Army can almost be regarded as the last military force of the Guiyi Army, the northwest Han feudal town, and compared with Zhang Chaofeng's battle in Shazhou City to the last moment, Cao Rengui cherishes his troops even more, so almost at the moment when the mechanical crossbow of the Tiance Army is fired, he understands his current situation, I am afraid that while he wants to flank the opponent left and right, the other party is also playing the same idea, and according to the current actions of the other party, The commander of the Tiance Army has realized his own deployment, and he has been attacked by the other party in front and back.

Before Cao Rengui could move, he saw a great chaos in the rear of his army, and the thunderous gunfire confirmed his idea, and his rear army was attacked. So by now, the situation is already very clear, and Shazhou City and Zhang Chaofeng are estimated to have come to an end, so ......

Cao Rengui couldn't stay for a moment, so he immediately gave the order almost instantly, asking the troops to assemble quickly and then quickly march in the northwest direction, regardless of the rhythm of breaking through the mountain pass. And I have to say that Cao Rengui actually chose a good time, Yan Chixia's troops have not yet rushed up to surround Cao Rengui, and Chen Yushi in the rear has just arrived at the rear army of the Guiyi Army, and the two sides are even at war for a while, so choosing to quickly leave the battlefield at this time is undoubtedly a correct choice. It's just that there has always been only one road from the mountain pass, that is, the road blocked in the middle by Gao Siji, leading to the Datun City and Shicheng areas of Anxi, and it is also the starting point of the southern route of the Silk Road in Anxi.

Cao Rengui has often haunted this generation with caravans, and he is naturally very familiar with the terrain of the Kanli Pass, which is surrounded by cliffs at both ends of the Pass, and the distance between them is very narrow, so a very strong tuyere has been formed in this place, and the northwest wind is howling here all the year round, resulting in serious weathering of the mountains and rocks here. However, none of this was important to Cao Rengui, and in this case, Cao Rengui had to bring his troops into the mountains before the two sides of the Tiance army were encircled, and then follow the path he had found earlier to escape.

It's just that in this way, those Uighurs are afraid that it will be difficult to get out, but this is no longer something that Cao Rengui can consider now, but Cao Rengui really got a miracle effect by ignoring it so much, at least his Chinese army and forward troops really got out of the encirclement of Yan Chixia and Chen Yushi smoothly, but the price was that the rear army was all treated as dumplings, and in order not to let the Tiance army notice that Cao Rengui had no time to take care of them, he could only blow the horn from a distance and hurriedly enter the mountains near the Kanli mountain pass.

Gao Siji originally didn't know Cao Rengui's movements, but Yan Chixia, who made him strange, was only a force of 10,000 people, but after going up, he was able to occupy the absolute upper hand, and there were constantly Guiyi troops who escaped and surrendered to Cheng were caught on the spot, which made Gao Siji suspicious, according to the intelligence, Cao Rengui had a strength of 50,000 people, and Yan Chixia only had a few people, even if people were sent from the sandbank, it was impossible to have too many troops, and the combat power of the Guiyi Army could not be directly reduced so much because of the relationship between the commanders.

"The mechanical crossbow immediately shot out fire oil bombs and irradiated all directions, show me what the hell Cao Rengui is doing." Gao Siji felt a little uneasy in his heart, and immediately changed his strategy, and began to let the mechanical crossbow immediately fire fire oil bombs to light the road ahead, trying to find out what Cao Rengui was thinking. This fire oil bomb quickly rose into the air and then hit the ground and burned, but Gao Siji almost gritted his teeth, and there were only 10,000 people in the sky surrounded by Yan Chixia and Chen Yushi, and it was obvious that Cao Rengui had escaped by taking advantage of the darkness of the night.

"Damn, let Yan Chixia give me an all-out attack, and give him a quarter of an hour to deal with the Guiyi Army here." Gao Siji roared angrily, and the guards behind him were startled, and they panicked to convey the order, and at this time, Gao Siji also happened to hear the horn sound from Cao Rengui's side, and everything was understood at this time, Cao Rengui was reminding the Uighurs to withdraw their troops.

"How can you get your wish?" Gao Siji snorted coldly, and with a wave of his right hand, the pro-soldiers behind him immediately erected the big sword behind him, and the battle flag fluttering high and the increasingly passionate charge made him roar against Wu Si'er, he didn't know what was going on, but Gao Siji's roar and this kind of fighting with the whole army, the military order horn that he couldn't take a step back without an order made him have no time to react at all, and rushed up with the pro-guard team as soon as possible, and the follow-up Tiance army summoned his own war horse to charge immediately, Countless soldiers of the Celestial Army galloped towards the Uighur army. At this moment, the mechanical crossbow guards behind him immediately began to adjust the firing range with all their might, covering the cavalry legion to attack.

At this time, the Uighurs had begun to stir up, although the signal given by Cao Rengui was not clear, but it was enough for the Uighurs, and the cavalry commander of the Anxi Uighurs who led the team this time had a much stronger grasp of the fighters than the Uighur prince of Gaochang last time, and almost when the Usir launched a charge, they had begun to deploy and retreat, and the Uighur cavalry, which was originally a reserve, forcibly turned around in the gallop and then galloped behind him, and the Chinese army began to take the initiative to step forward and collide with Usi'er, Covering the front army that had been dispersed by the Tiance Army, it successfully withdrew from the attack range of the Tiance Army.

Gao Siji's impromptu decision made the retreat of the Uighurs extremely difficult, although the first wave of the attack of the Uighurs was successfully defused by the opponent's Chinese army, and by the way, they also surrounded the Uighurs, but then the cavalry of the Tiance Army, which had already summoned their horses to charge, successfully caught up with the Uighurs. The strength of the cavalry of the Tiance Army, which had already soared, was definitely not under the combat power of the Uighurs, and Gao Siji was originally a master of cavalry warfare, and the cavalry corps under his command was much better than the guard battalion and the battalion directly under the central garrison battalion, so that the Chinese army of the Uighurs was smoothly entangled by the cavalry of the Tiance Army.

"The maximum range of the mechanical crossbow will bombard the rear of the Husk cavalry for me, so that they will not be able to escape." Gao Siji was determined to leave these Uighurs in front of him, so he didn't care about the siege of Us'er, and ordered all the main forces of the regiment except for Yan Chixia's headquarters to step forward and launch a cluster charge, and at the same time ordered all the mechanical crossbows and arrows to carry out the task of cutting off the battlefield and cut off the connection between the Uighur main formation and the prominent Chinese army, so that this prominent Chinese army would become a lone army and be divided and surrounded by the cavalry troops that rushed up immediately.

The main force of the cavalry corps stepped forward to encircle and annihilate the Uighurs, while Yan Chixia and Chen Yushi, who came from the sandbank, worked together to force the remaining Guiyi army into a desperate situation, and a large number of Guiyi soldiers were captured alive and brought even worse consequences, and the Guiyi soldiers on the battlefield completely collapsed, and Chen Yushi, who caught up from behind, did not even have much chance to attack and needed to face a group of surrender soldiers.

As a result of this scenario, as soon as Yan Chixia and Chen Yushi converged, they gave the other party the task of rounding up the Guiyi army, and he immediately stepped forward with his headquarters to participate in the battle to encircle and annihilate the Uighurs. Yan Chixia's return led to all the main forces of Gao Siji's corps participating in the battle, and there was no room for turning around in this battle. The sheer disparity in strength allowed the Celestial Army to have enough soldiers to deal with the Uighurs, who had been fighting for a long time, and this was tantamount to declaring the defeat of the Uighurs.

The battle has reached this point and there is no need for Gao Siji's command, so after Yan Chixia joined the battlefield, Gao Siji took his personal guards and began to chase after Cao Rengui disappeared.

"Sure enough, there is a trail here. This Cao Rengui is only afraid that he will have big trouble for our army in the future. Gao Siji looked at the chaotic footsteps in front of him and the discarded weapons and debris everywhere and nodded, this battle did not receive full merit, this Cao Rengui really saw the opportunity quickly. It's just that what Gao Siji didn't expect was that his evaluation of Cao Rengui just now was really a prophecy, and after Cao Rengui fled to Anxi, he really made a big move, which brought great trouble to the Western Expeditionary Army into Anxi, and even directly made the previous strategic plan a dead letter.

When Goth returned to the battlefield, Usr was also nearing the end of the battle, and after a large number of Uighurs were killed, it brought about the chaos of the formation, and Usr also broke through and began to command the troops to surround on all sides, and began to cut off the perimeter of the Uighur troops in a circle, this method of cutting and then shrinking was the most basic tactic for the light cavalry, using the superior speed and cavalry to chop the opponent to pieces.

As soon as this method of warfare appeared, the Uighurs began to stir, and the Uighurs, as a horse people, were naturally very familiar with this tactic, so they were quickly defeated by this move, and when the battle reached dawn, the Chinese army of more than 30,000 people was almost completely wiped out by Usir, and more than 10,000 Uighurs who were scattered were also captured.

When Gao Siji returned to the sandbank with a large group of prisoners, the sandbank gradually returned to calm after a night of fierce fighting, Chai Jia's brigade wiped out the last resistance of the Guiyi army after a night of fighting, Chai Jia almost stepped into the gate of the Guiyi Army's Jiedu Embassy with the blood stains that had been frozen into ice, and the Tiance Army who entered the city began to implement martial law tasks in the city after searching for prisoners and stragglers, Chai Jia and a group of senior generals just sat down Gao Siji also entered the city, At this point, the three-way army deployed by Wan Yi has completed the task, and only Tuoba Siji has no news coming. However, for Tuoba Siji's words, Chai Jia and Gao Siji have nothing to worry about, among the three armies, Tuoba Siji's side is relatively the easiest, the goal is clear, and it is still a mercenary to deal with. The biggest difference between mercenaries and regular troops is resilience, that is, the ability to withstand the cruelty of war, although mercenaries have strong combat power, and some mercenaries are even stronger than regular troops, but they do not have much resilience, and it is easy to lose combat power due to the stalemate and reversal of the war situation.

"Chai Jia, have you finished writing the battle report for the marshal?" When Gao Siji saw Chai Jia, he saw that the city had basically returned to calm, so he asked. After seeing Chai Jia nodding, he sighed: "It seems that I need to write another battle report to the commander alone, there was an accident in the left-wing army, it was my mistake, I need to explain the situation to the commander." Gao Siji was appointed as the deputy commander of the Western Expeditionary Army before, and it stands to reason that Chai Jia is still under him, so when he said this, he couldn't help but wonder what happened.

"The chess was a bad move, and Cao Rengui caught a loophole, except for the nearly 10,000 people who were captured, the rest were taken by Cao Rengui to escape." Gao Siji sat down and said with a wry smile: "I didn't notice for a while and let Cao Rengui go, but I was afraid that it would bring big trouble in the future." Although this person can't command, his decision-making ability is actually good, and he has the courage to survive with a broken tail, which cannot be underestimated. ”

Gao Siji's words surprised Chai Jia, although he listened to Su Xiaohu's advice when he was in the sandbank, and sent Chen Yushi to support Gao Siji in time, but he didn't expect this situation to occur, Chai Jia was almost certain that if his reinforcements did not arrive in time, Cao Rengui would definitely cooperate with the Uighurs to encircle and annihilate Gao Siji.

"Don't write it, the marshal should have already started to set off with the deputy prime minister towards the sandbank, if it weren't for the deputy prime minister's injury, it is estimated that the marshal has arrived." Before Chai Jia's words were finished, Su Xiaohu's voice came from outside the door, "Old Chai, has the deputy marshal come back?" There was information from General Mop and Zhao Si that they had basically completed their task. Su Xiaohu's voice had already come in as soon as he fell, and when he saw Gao Siji sitting there, he immediately smiled: "It seems that we are all about the same, Tuoba Siji's side has already defeated the Tubo mercenaries, and brought back their boss, and Zhao Si's side has also successfully intercepted hundreds of people from the Zhang clan and is now on their way to the sandbank." Su Xiaohu's voice is also equivalent to announcing that the plan that Xuan Yingwei has planned for nearly two months is now over, and the Tiance Army has taken the sandbank, and the Guiyi Army has officially become history.
