Chapter 519: Mamluk's Helplessness

Hammoud looked at the front with a grim expression, and did not pay any attention to the whole dispatch of the opponent's army. The horns of the Chinese army where he was located sounded one after another, and all the units in the front were mobilized to immediately enter the position, and the personal guard battalion also began to retreat along the two flanks of the frontal position where the directly subordinate battalion was located under the command of Li Feixue.

"De Ying, let Oge Yang lead his army to immediately seize the position on the left side of the battalion directly under him to stop the attack of the opposing cavalry on the flank of our army." After Hammoud asked Deying to convey the order, he nodded and said to himself: "It seems that the Mamluk cavalry of the Great Food Empire is also worthy of its reputation, and it is just that the timing is not right to think of a way to attack the flank so quickly. I'm going to see if you're fast or I'm fast. At this time, Oge Yang, who received the order to advance quickly, naturally did not know that his master would block him in the path of the opponent's attack, but according to O Geyan's character, even if he knew, he would definitely rush forward and divide the opponent from the opponent as soon as possible. He is different from Deying, his conceited head is not as smart as Deying, so he has been training his own bravery and the field combat ability of his subordinates to charge into battle.

However, just when Hammud's side quietly transferred the Uighur corps to prepare to block the opponent's flank attack on the battalion directly under his command, the guard battalion had already withdrawn from the front to the rear under the leadership of Li Feixue, this guy was obviously not happy to fight, so he walked to Hammoud's side and couldn't help complaining: "Old Ha, you are not interesting enough, I was originally a striker, why did you directly turn me into a reserve?" ”

"Don't worry, the Guards Battalion is one of our fastest troops, so let's use it for pursuit." Hammoud was so calm that he didn't even move when he started to fire artillery with the artillery at this time, but instead pulled Li Feixue and continued: "I have long heard of the power of the Mamluk cavalry of the Great Food Empire, and today we are here to completely destroy the army that he is most proud of." As soon as he said this, Li Feixue also reacted, glared at his eyes and said, "You don't plan to let the Uighur regiment and the battalion flank their elite cavalry, do you?" ”

"That's what I intended." Hammoud said: "The position of Ogeyan's leading the attack at this time is exactly the left flank of the opponent's front, and the frontal battlefield that the battalion was originally responsible for will also become the right flank at this time due to the shift of the opponent's offensive direction, so that the entire battlefield is equivalent to moving parallel to the left, which just gives us the opportunity to annihilate the other party." Hammoud's face did not change in the slightest, but it was like saying a very ordinary little thing, but Li Feixue suddenly became interested, rubbed his hands and smiled: "Is there something missing in your method of attacking the left and right wings?" After the pursuit mission is over, in fact, my personal guard battalion can also bear it. Why don't I go and attract their firepower and let this Mamluk cavalry get into the trap you have set up? ”

Li Feixue's words made Hammoud stunned and immediately understood what he meant, and nodded after a slight groan, and the latter immediately mounted his horse in ecstasy, and a moment later, when the other party launched a formal attack, a white horse with countless cavalry began to rush forward from the open space between the Uighur regiment and the battalion, and forced the artillery units to stop.

"General, what's wrong with General Li? Didn't the Guards battalion already retreat as ordered? Why did it go up again? When Deying rushed back, he happened to see the scene of tens of thousands of people roaring out of the guard camp, and he was immediately curious.

"The Guards Battalion is in charge of attracting the attention of the other party head-on." Hammoud sighed and said, "Fortunately, we reacted quickly at that time, and returned to the Tang Dynasty to become a member of this army, otherwise, in the face of such an army with endless talents, even if the two Uighurs were combined into one at that time, there would be absolutely no chance of victory." Li Feixue's attention at this time is to fill the most critical link in Hammod's entire plan. Such a vision has discovered the flaws of his deployment in such a short period of time, and it should not be said that the general who has been in charge of this Royal Forest Army for many years has been amazed by his vision and ability.

But at this time, Li Feixue didn't know Hammud's praise for himself, he immediately found the difference between the opponent in front of him and the previous one after leading the army out of the middle line of the two sides, almost at the moment when his soldiers were shooting with their guns, the other party was also changing direction quickly, and the forced change of the direction of the march during the gallop was extremely testing the basic ability of the cavalry, this kind of dangerous action is basically only those who have been with the horse all the year round and have a very high talent for riding can do it, Because if you don't pay attention to it, you either break the horse's neck or break the horse's hooves directly. However, the cavalry in front of Li Feixue almost the whole army made such a ninety-degree turn at the same time, and its elite cavalry level suddenly made the cavalry of the personal guard battalion, including Li Feixue, greatly appreciated, but it was the opponent's high-level riding performance that made all the soldiers of the Tiance Army firm their determination to completely destroy the other party.

"Tell me to go down, and retreat while fighting." Li Feixue raised his hand towards the crowd of people on the other side in front of him, and shot without even looking at whether he hit the target, pulling his throat to let the team around him retreat while fighting. Originally, the purpose of his step forward was to attract the attention of the other party so that the other party could pay attention to himself, so the actions of the guard battalion were also extremely arrogant, some soldiers rushed fast and even rushed directly to the other party less than thirty zhang in front of the other party to attack the other party, rifle bullets and the opponent's riding bow and arrows were staggered, and the two sides directly began to compare luck to see who could defeat the opponent before falling. It's just that unlike the opponent's arrows, as long as they don't hit the position, they can save a life according to the current medical level of the Tiance Army, and the bullets of the formal rifle will definitely cause unimaginable damage to the opponent as long as they hit. Not to mention the resounding of the rumbling cannons, it is a declaration that this epoch-making heavy firepower weapon is the real master of the battlefield. Therefore, less than half an hour after Li Feixue led his troops to rush up, the fighting between the two sides gradually entered the stage of hand-to-hand combat, and the soldiers on both sides who had killed red-eyed began to gradually break away from the control of the commanders of both sides and launch a close-range fight on their own. Li Feixue saw that his troops were already entangled with the other party, and if he didn't leave, he would be firmly entangled by the other party, so he immediately ordered to retreat. After the horn of the guard battalion was blown, the artillery units in the rear also began to adjust to cover their retreat, but they couldn't stop the cavalry soldiers of the Great Food Empire with red eyes and wielding scimitars, and when the guard battalion retreated, not only the Mamluk cavalry facing each other was in hot pursuit, but even the remnants of the Samanid army, which had become vassals, also rushed up, and the entire opposing coalition army did not move except for a part of the guards of the Chinese army, and the other departments rushed up in a swarm at this time, Trying to completely defeat the pro-guard battalion and disrupt the large array arranged by Hammud.

"General, I'll lead the army to pick up General Li and retreat." Deying saw that the Great Food Cavalry was in hot pursuit of the personal guard battalion, and Li Feixue personally broke off and stepped forward, unable to distance himself from the other party, and immediately rushed forward to meet in person, but was stopped by Hammud.

"Order the front-line mortar detachment to immediately project with all their strength between the guard battalion and the Great Eclipse Cavalry, and use artillery shells to build a line of life and death." Hammoud grabbed Deying and immediately gave the order, but the latter's face was still a little shocked. Although this idea is good, the current situation is that after Li Feixue personally breaks off, if the mission of shell blocking fails, it is tantamount to losing the opportunity to rescue the other party in vain. If Li Feixue had an accident, I was afraid that all the Uighur troops would pay the price for Hamoud's decision today, and even the entire Uighur tribe.

"Execute the order immediately." Hammoud didn't know what Deying was thinking, but he didn't explain much at all, and directly asked the other party to personally step forward and command the mortar detachment to intercept the shelling.

It should be said that Hamoud's decisiveness played a very big role at this moment, so that after the front-line mortar shells exploded like no money, those Mamluk cavalry who had been biting Li Feixue tightly so that they had no time to get away were blown up, and it was precisely by relying on this round of shelling that the personal guard battalion completed the task and successfully withdrew, and the other party was also completely enraged by this operation. After the fat to the mouth was forced to escape, this cavalry, which was famous in this vast and boundless continent, felt that his dignity had been insulted and provoked. Therefore, before the latest order came from the Chinese side, this cavalry began to launch an all-out attack with a huge cavalry cluster behind them.

"Blow the trumpet, give me a blow." At the same time, the battalion directly under the command, the Uighur corps and the newly withdrawn guard battalion, the three main corps did their best to devote 150,000 people to the battle, as far as the eye could see, the scene of the battle between the soldiers on both sides, and the smoke columns produced by the explosion of countless shells on the ground, and those dense bullets were unscrupulously inspired from all directions, venting the roar from the soldiers of the Tiance Army.

"General Ha, congratulations." Hammoud was completely relieved to see that the three corps were put into battle for the first time, and the war was no longer about the command art of the commanders of the two armies, but the ability and morale of the front-line soldiers to kill the enemy, so when he was just thinking about whether to adjust the deployment, Liu Xuan's voice came from behind him.

"Marshal, Chief of Staff." Because the artillery unit fired shells with all its might, several people were shouting at the top of their voices, and Hammoud hurriedly saluted after seeing the two of them coming up: "Thank you for the praise of the chief of staff, it is a fluke to get into trouble just now, otherwise I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Wan Yi didn't think so, waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to, took the clairvoyant mirror and looked at the battle situation in front of him and said with a smile: "The three of them have begun to advance now, this must be Feixue's idea, right?" Only this guy likes to be so violent. Although Wan Yi's words were very ordinary, they were not the case in Hammoud's heart, "General Ha doesn't have to worry that someone will make a fuss about this, since you are asked to be the chief general on the battlefield, it means that your words are military orders, and there is no right or wrong in military orders, only obedience." There is no tribal distinction in the Tiance army, only the friendship of robes and the prohibition of orders. ”

"Okay, the chief of staff and I are just here to take a look, and you will be responsible for the rest of the war." Wan Yi patted Hammoud on the shoulder and smiled: "Although the land where Saman is located is mostly desert and part of it is also a grassland area, it is the forefront of our confrontation with the Great Food Empire, so it takes a commander who can fight and is strategic to suppress this complicated situation." Hammoud didn't hear anything about Wan Yi's words at this time, but it didn't take long for him to understand why Wan Yi insisted on letting him take charge of this grand battle today.

However, at this time, Hammud immediately went to the front line to join Lu Yi and others after Wan Yi left, and at this time, the various corps of the Tiance Army had already engaged in a counterattack, and similar to the directly subordinate battalion, the troops that had been fully prepared from the beginning and even some of the troops had already started to launch a counter-charge according to the attack formation. Under such dense firepower, the cavalry tactics familiar to the Mamluks could not play any role at all, and the flesh and blood body was torn beyond recognition in the first place in the face of the energy that burst out of the hot weapon.

"The Great Cannibals are starting to retreat." Lu Yi has maintained his taciturn personality for so many years, he did not like to charge into battle with the troops in person like Li Feixue at every turn, but stayed with Hammud after he arrived at the front line, and said a rare word after seeing the movement in front of him at this time.

"Well, but it's too late. The main body of their Mamluk cavalry had been knocked out, and the remaining few men and horses could no longer make big waves. Deying, go and inform General Lee, and let the guard battalion come forward and bite them at once, and then you and Ogeyan will give me a detour to surround their Chinese army from the left. Hammoud asked Deying to personally deliver the order and then said to Lu Yi beside him: "General Lu, please also lead the troops to come forward to block the northern retreat of the Great Cannibals and Samanides." ”

Lu Yi gave a military salute and didn't say much, and then led the team to rush forward. All the soldiers of the battalion were as silent as this commander, and they were thrown into the crowd for fear that no one would notice them, but Hammoud did not dare to underestimate this unit in the slightest. At the beginning, the directly subordinate battalion and the personal guard battalion were known as Li Xuanqing's closest descendants, and the more silent they were, the more they were afraid of palpitations. In fact, Lu Yi led his army to detour from the right and then came first, and even faster than Ogeyan's Uighur army, intercepted the Samanid who tried to escape from the coalition army, and completely exterminated them, and the Samanid Khan was captured alive.

And the most dazzling thing on the entire battlefield is Li Feixue's personal guard battalion, from the previous attack to the retreat to the current re-leading army to attack again, all the officers and men of the personal guard battalion have maintained a high degree of sobriety under this repetitive military order, especially after this attack caught the remaining Mamluk cavalry, the two started to fight again. However, unlike the opponent's fighting cavalry and scimitar knife technique, the cavalry of the guard battalion held their rifles and constantly sprayed bullets caused these desert cavalry who had not tasted defeat across the continent to be completely destroyed.

"This war is coming to an end after all." Seeing that Li Feixue's banner had begun to approach the position of the other party's Chinese army, Hammoud showed a smile of relief on his face.
