Chapter 601: A Rock-Solid Strange Sword Soldier

Seeing that the six red-clothed protectors sent by the Lamaist Sect were either killed in front of the two armies or captured by the fierce generals of the Broken Army, the Great Khans of all the tribes in the grassland suddenly put out their thoughts of continuing to fight with the Broken Army.

Immediately, the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Khitan tribes, each sent 20,000 cavalry to launch a tentative charge against the broken army.

The Broken Army did not send cavalry troops to meet the battle, but sent an infantry battle formation composed of 100,000 Tang Dynasty Mo sword soldiers, directly blocking the front of the various units of the Broken Army.

60,000 Huns, Xianbei and Khitan cavalry, with overwhelming momentum, directly hit the infantry battle array of the Mo sword soldiers, the performance of the cavalry of the three tribes can not be described as heroic, sacrificing life and death to continue to charge, but the Tang Dynasty Mo sword soldiers composed of infantry battle array, but has been as solid as a rock, the three tribes of cavalry in the row of Mo knife hands under the killing, paid quite heavy losses.

Luan Timao, the Great Khan of the Huns in front of the formation of the Grassland Alliance, saw the 60,000 cavalry of the three tribes, and there was no way to take the Mo Dao soldiers of the Broken Capture Army, and he couldn't help frowning and said to the Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke and the Khitan Great Khan Yelu Lie: "These should be the Mo Dao soldiers of the Broken Capture Army, the Mo Knife they use is very powerful, one knife down, even the war horse and the knight on the horse, together in half, and the number of Mo Dao soldiers in front of the Broken Capture Army is large, it seems that our coalition army only uses 60,000 cavalry, Don't even think about breaking through this large array of at least 100,000 Mo Dao soldiers! ”

Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke asked in a deep voice: "If 60,000 cavalry can't break through, then use 600,000 cavalry, if you want to defeat the broken army, our various clans will definitely have to pay very large casualties, I believe this, all the Great Khans know it in their hearts." ”

The Khitan Great Khan Yelu Dilie nodded and said: "The strength of the Broken Army is obvious to all, and it is impossible for our allied forces of all ethnic groups to defeat the main force of this Broken Army in Xinning City without paying the lives of two or three million people!" ”

The Great Khan of the Huns, Luan Ti, smiled bitterly, "If you can defeat the broken army here in Xinning City at the cost of two or three million people, it is already good, let's discuss it again, how many cavalry should each clan send into battle next!" ”

The grassland coalition army then sent more than 300,000 cavalry of various ethnic groups to continue to attack the Mo Dao soldiers of the Broken Army......

The battle lasted until the evening of 1 June, when the armies of both sides collected their troops and returned to their camps because of the dark weather.

The Broken Army and the Grassland Coalition Army each sent some troops very tacitly to collect the corpses of their own fallen soldiers, and the Broken Army's side ended quickly, while the Grassland Coalition Army was busy until late at night.

On the night of June 1, in a huge felt bag in the camp of the grassland coalition army, the seven leaders of the grassland coalition army, the Xiongnu Great Khan Luan Timao, the Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke, the Khitan Great Khan Yelu Dilie, the Xirong Great Khan Arishan, the Donghu Great Khan Yishag, the Tiele Great Khan Jirimu, and the Karasuma Great Khan Zhaonastu all gathered here.

According to the statistics of the seven of them, the total losses of the cavalry of all ethnic groups participating in the war today exceeded 400,000, of which the Xiongnu, Xianbei and Khitan accounted for half, while the results of the grassland coalition army were minimal.

The Hun Great Khan Luan Ti said with a solemn face: "According to the statistics of all ethnic groups, in just one day, the losses of our grassland coalition army have exceeded 400,000, but it has not caused too much loss to the broken army. ”

The Great Khan of the Xirong tribe, Ah Rishan, then said: "This Great Khan thinks that the troops invested by our coalition army today are not enough, and it is best to invest more cavalry to participate in the attack at one time tomorrow, and we can't just stare at the battle formation of the Mo Sword Soldiers of the Broken Army!" ”

Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke said approvingly: "The Great Khan of Ah Rishan is reasonable, today's attack on the Mo Sword Formation of the Broken Army has almost become a tactic to add fuel, and it can't be like this tomorrow." ”

It is equivalent to the atmosphere of the grassland coalition army, but the side of the broken army is much more relaxed, in a meeting hall in the pastoral mansion of Xinning Chengzhou, Liu Ji smiled and said to Dian Wei, the commander of the Mo sword soldiers: "Today, your Mo sword soldiers have made great contributions to our broken army, and in a day of fierce fighting, the Mo sword soldiers wiped out almost 400,000 Hu cavalry with less than 20,000 casualties, which can be said to be a big start for our broken army!" ”

Liu Ji absorbed more than forty-two soul points today, except for the nearly 20,000 people lost by the Mo Dao soldiers, the rest of the harvest was contributed by the grassland alliance army.

Dian Wei said with a red light on his face: "If there were no other brother troops to suppress the formation for our Mo Dao soldiers, our Mo Dao soldiers would not have achieved such brilliant results today, and our Mo Dao soldiers are willing to continue to meet the attack of the cavalry of all tribes in the grassland tomorrow!" ”

At this time, Zhang Liang said: "My lord, today's cavalry of all tribes in the grassland has suffered a big loss in the hands of the Modao soldiers, maybe the cavalry of all tribes in the grassland will not be so persistent tomorrow, and the cavalry of all tribes in the grassland tomorrow is likely to bypass the battle formation of the Modao soldiers and launch an attack on our main formation." ”

Liu Ji said indifferently: "Our Broken Army is not the only Mo Sword Soldier who can fight a tough battle, the Grassland Legion and the Beiting Legion have gathered fourteen infantry brigades here in Xinning City, if the Hu cavalry launches an attack on our Broken Army Formation tomorrow, it will just let the Hu cavalry feel the power of our Broken Army's long wooden spear formation again." ”

Liu Ji and his subordinate generals studied the tactics of dealing with the grassland coalition army, and let the generals go to rest.

Liu Ji came to the prison where the three lamas were imprisoned in the state governor's mansion, and then took out three puppet pills and forcibly let the three lamas swallow the red-clothed protectors.

Liu Ji originally only had nineteen puppet pills left in his hand, but after subduing these three new puppet bodyguards, the number of puppet pills in Liu Ji's hands increased instead of decreasing, becoming twenty-two.

On the morning of 2 June, the Broken Capture Army and the Grassland Coalition Army once again set up a posture on the prairie north of Xinning City, and then Liu Ji sent Zhang Shaohua to urge the horse to come to the front of the two armies to call the formation, but unfortunately the Grassland Coalition Army did not have a single person to meet the battle, but directly dispatched the cavalry of all nationalities to charge the main formation of the Broken Army.

Liu Ji saw the abnormal movement of the grassland coalition army, and immediately made people ring the gong, recalled Zhang Shaohua to the front of the Broken Army, and then immediately let the Mo Dao soldiers at the front of the various units of the Broken Army, and discharged the infantry battle formation to meet the attack of the cavalry of all tribes in the grassland.

The number of cavalry dispatched by the grassland coalition army this time was relatively large, and some of the cavalry of various tribes in the grassland directly launched a fierce attack on the front of the Mo Dao soldier battle array, and more cavalry of the grassland tribe bypassed the Mo Dao soldier battle formation in front and launched a charge on the two wings of the main formation of the broken army.

For the cavalry of the grassland tribes on both sides, Liu Ji still did not send cavalry troops to meet the battle, but let the fourteen infantry brigades of the grassland army and the Beiting army discharge a large array of long wooden spears on both flanks of the formation.

Although the infantry brigades of the Prairie Legion and the Beiting Legion are much worse than the Modao soldiers in terms of combat effectiveness, the long wooden spear formation of the Broken Army still exerts extremely strong power in dealing with cavalry.

From the morning of June 2, the fierce fighting between the two sides continued until the evening, and the steppe coalition paid a heavy price, but it did not defeat the Modao battle formation and the long wooden spear battle formation of the Broken Army.

On this day of June 2, the Grassland Coalition Army lost more than 400,000 cavalry of various nationalities, while the losses of the Broken Capture Army were far less than those of the Grassland Coalition Army, and the Modao soldiers of the Broken Capture Army lost more than 10,000 men today, and the 14 infantry brigades of the Grassland Army and the Beiting Army lost about 40,000 people together.

On June 3, the Broken Army and the Grassland Coalition Army fought almost fiercely for a day, and the Broken Army was still mainly engaged in defensive operations with infantry, and the Grassland Coalition Army still played the role of attacker.

The steppe coalition army lost almost 400,000 more on this day, and the losses on the side of the Breaker Army also exceeded 60,000.

On the night of June 3, in a huge felt bag in the camp of the grassland coalition army, the Hun Great Khan Luan Ti said with a gloomy face: "The loss of 400,000 in one day, the loss of 1.2 million in three days, these two figures are really shocking, our coalition army of all ethnic groups cannot continue to consume with the Broken Army, according to this rate of consumption, before the Broken Army, the cavalry of our various ethnic groups will be exhausted!" ”

Xianbei Great Khan Murong Ke nodded solemnly and said: "You have to think of other methods, after three days of fighting, the cavalry units of the Broken Army almost didn't fight, and the cavalry of our various clans combined lost more than 1.2 million, and if it continues like this, all clans will not be able to hold on!" ”

The Khitan Great Khan Yelu Enemy Lie immediately said: "Why don't you try a night attack!" Even if the Breakers sent a large number of scouts to monitor our coalition camp, as long as we move quickly, it is still possible to achieve good results in the night attack. ”

The Great Khan of the Xirong tribe, Ah Rishan, followed and said: "By the way, our coalition army also has to guard against the night attack of the Broken Army, which is very good at night attacks!" ”

As soon as the words of the Great Khan of the Xirong tribe Ah Rishan fell, there were suddenly horns outside the felt bag, which made the faces of the seven Great Khans in the felt bag all change, these horns should have been sounded by the scouts of the grassland coalition army, and it seems that the broken army launched a night attack on the grassland coalition army first.

The seven Great Khans guessed correctly, tonight the Broken Army sent twenty infantry brigades of the Grassland Legion and the Beiting Legion, as well as 1.2 million cavalry of all ethnic groups in the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, to take advantage of the night to attack the camp of the allied forces of the various ethnic groups in the grassland, and soon the shouts of killing resounded in the night sky.

Although the Grassland Coalition Army lost more than 1.2 million cavalry in the first three days, the size of the Grassland Coalition Army was still about 9 million, and the two million cavalry of the Broken Capture Army had to be forced to retreat after fighting in the camp of the Grassland Coalition Army for less than an hour.

In addition to the loss of some materials, at least 300,000 cavalry of various nationalities lost their lives in this night attack, and the losses of the cavalry units of the Broken Army were not small, and the cavalry that finally withdrew to the camp of the Broken Army was only 1.8 million.

During the day on June 4, probably due to the night attack of last night, the Steppe Coalition did not fight again today, but repaired the camp for a day.

On the afternoon of June 4, in a study in the Xinning Chengzhou Governor's Mansion, Liu Ji asked Su Lie, the commander of the Grassland Army, "Is there any movement of the Hu people?" ”

Su Lie shook his head and said: "Lord, it seems that the Grassland Alliance Army should not be ready to fight again today, after all, last night's night attack, our Broken Army still brought a lot of losses to the Grassland Alliance!" ”

Liu Ji smiled bitterly and said: "Not to mention last night's night attack, two million cavalry were dispatched, and 200,000 people were lost in less than an hour. ”

At this time, Guo Jia said: "Lord, in last night's night attack, in addition to the twenty cavalry brigades of the Grassland Legion and the Beiting Legion, our Broken Army also sent 1.2 million nomadic cavalry, these nomadic cavalry requisitioned from various tribes in the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate are not strong in combat effectiveness, and the 200,000 people lost by our Broken Army in the night attack, four-fifths of them are nomadic cavalry, it seems that we must be cautious when using these requisitioned nomadic cavalry in the future." ”

At this time, in this study, several top scholars under Liu Ji were there.

Zhang Liang continued: "What Guo Jia said is extremely true, these nomadic cavalry requisitioned from various tribes in the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate are okay to fight against the wind, and once they fight against the wind, they will have to collapse if they don't do it well, so we really have to be cautious in the application of nomadic cavalry next." ”

This time, a total of 2.7 million cavalry of various tribes were recruited from various tribes in the territory of Beiting Duhufu, and at present, the army gathered in Xinning City, and more than half of the nomadic cavalry was recruited.

Liu Ji sighed and said: "If it weren't for the Dawan Kingdom, the Seven Powerful Clans of the Grassland, and the Qingyi Clan uniting together to launch this war against our Broken Army, the Governor of the Great Metropolitan would not have recruited so many nomadic cavalry in the various tribes in the territory of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, I hope that these nomadic cavalry can show more heroism on the battlefield, and it is simply too difficult to defeat this grassland coalition army by relying only on the troops of our Broken Army!" ”
