Chapter 703: Just in time
For this scene, Ashina Sheer also felt incredulous, because there are very few female generals in history who lead troops to fight, and even if there are, it is only an occasional one for many years, even if there are several at the same time, there are few people who use the same weapons and the same costume, but now these two female generals not only use the same weapons, the same outfits, and even the moves are so similar, which is really shocking.
At the same time that Jieli Khan and Ashina Sheer and others were shocked in their hearts, Ma Chao and Diao Yue'e were under the command of the soldiers under their command, and they killed fiercely in the army of the Turks, these two people are rare brave people in the world, one is already difficult to deal with, and now the two people are joining forces to kill the enemy, and the power is doubled, and no one dares to resist the Turkic soldiers along the road, and they have collapsed, even if occasionally a few people who want to step forward to stop them, they are all rushed forward to kill.
The most speechless thing is that these two people saw the soldiers blocking along the road, like cats who saw fish. Almost simultaneously, the weapons were swung to kill those who dared to stand in the way in the shortest possible time.
Of course, it was not just Ma Chao and the female general, behind them were the four hundred Xiliang cavalry under Ma Chao, the elite of the Xiliang cavalry was famous all over the world, although there were only four hundred people, but it was enough to exert the combat power of four thousand or more people, these four hundred people were arranged in a neat formation, and launched a fierce attack on the Turks who were also cavalry.
And after Ma Chao's Xiliang cavalry, there were a thousand sword soldiers under Diao Yue'e.
Since the appearance of the Mo knife, there are many teams in the army are equipped with this powerful chopping weapon, but because such weapons are more valuable, although the Han is rich in financial resources, there are still many armies that are not equipped, Diao Yue's vanguard battalion soldiers are just ordinary soldiers, so they are not equipped with Mo knives, but because of Diao Yue's skills, so when they were about to set off, Liu He temporarily deployed a batch of imitation Mo knives for them, although the material is worse than the Mo knife, but under Diao Yue's skill bonus, The power that this batch of big sword soldiers can exert is not inferior to that of ordinary Mo sword soldiers.
This thousand big sword soldiers followed Ma Chao's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and launched a one-sided slaughter against the Turkic cavalry that was scattered by the cavalry.
Seeing this scene on the side, Jieli Khan's face turned blue with anger, under such a strong impact of the enemy's army, his own formation was in chaos, morale dropped sharply, and they scattered in all directions, if they did not order the withdrawal of troops, it is estimated that these tens of thousands of troops will fall apart and completely disintegrate.
However, as long as the order to withdraw the army, the thousands of soldiers who were still attacking the city will immediately become outcasts, and will be completely annihilated by the Han army, so that the siege equipment they have worked so hard to make will also be lost, so that they may no longer be able to launch a large-scale siege.
However, at this time, although Jieli Khan was extremely unwilling, he could only break his wrist as a strong man, and had no choice but to order a retreat.
I could only hear the sound of gold, which looked so sad in the cold wind, and the Turkic soldiers who were besieging the city were panicked and hurriedly retreated, and some of the soldiers had just climbed to the top of the city, and before they had time to catch their breath, they immediately turned back and went down, and in a panic, they stepped into the air and fell directly to the ground, killing on the spot.
Those who didn't have time to withdraw naturally became the ghosts of the Han army, and none of them were able to escape.
The siege engines were discarded, looking extremely desolate.
Ma Chao and Diao Yue'e did not stay to clean up the mess, but led the army to hunt down the Turkic army, because they were worried that giving up the pursuit now would give the other party a chance to breathe, and when they reorganized their troops and horses and killed them again, it should be their own side that should be unlucky.
Ma Chao and Diao Yue'e led the army to chase and kill for more than ten miles, and it was not until Li Yuanhao led the army to respond that they led the troops to retreat.
Looking at the figures of Ma Chao and Diao Yue'e leaving, Li Yuanhao and Jieli Khan smiled bitterly at each other, they thought that they could easily break the enemy with their strength, but they didn't expect to get such a result in the end.
After calculation, Li Yuanhao lost more than 1,000 soldiers and more than 30 dead and wounded generals. The Jieli Khan lost more than 3,000 people, and more than 50 generals were killed and wounded, including several second-rate generals in addition to the third-rate generals, including An Lushan's deputy general Shi Siming, and the generals Cai Xide, Tian Qianzhen and others, which can be described as heavy losses.
"When we sent our troops, the son of Lu Dongzan, the minister of the Tibetan Department, once said that this battle is a quick victory, if it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid it will be unfavorable, but we are because this person is too young, and he is not gullible, and he will fight according to the strategy discussed by everyone, and you have all seen that Liu He's main reinforcements have not yet come, and we have suffered a defeat, not only losing the army, morale plummeting, but also discarding all the siege equipment that we have worked so hard to make, and in this case we want to continue the attack, It is undoubtedly a fool's dream, it seems that we should defend Guzang City next, and then ask for reinforcements to arrive. Looking at the defeated soldiers, Li Yuanhao sighed and continued: "It seems that we are too light on the enemy, this time I want to ask the Tubo king Songtsen Gampo for help, hoping that he can send a large army to come, the Tubo army is full of food, and there is a wise man like Garqinling, as long as he is willing to come, I believe that even if Liu He personally leads the army to arrive, he can only give up the entire Liangzhou in the end." ”
Jieli Khan also nodded and said: "We also need to send more people, the three leaders of my Turkic Shatuo tribe, Li Keyong, Liu Zhiyuan and Shi Jingjiao, have always asked to lead troops to fight, but because they do not belong to my Turkic ten tribes, so I have repeatedly refused, now it seems that it is just right for them to lead the army to come, strengthen my prestige, hehe, don't hide it Brother Li, in the first family of the Shatuo tribe, Li Keyong, but there is a great hero, this person is very good at martial arts, even in all the tribes of my Turks, is also a well-deserved strongest, even if he is a big man, Lu Bu, at most, can only have a tie with him, as long as he comes, what is Ma Chao? That good man could have ruined him with one hand. ”
"Oh? There are such heroes in your ministry? Brother Ashina, you shouldn't have hidden such a thing before, let alone let them come, if that hero came, it is estimated that Ma Chao would have been killed a long time ago, by the way, I don't know what the name of that hero is? When Li Yuanhao heard this, he suddenly came to his senses and asked excitedly.
"This person's real name is An Jingsi, and he is one of the thirteen righteous sons of Li Keyong, who was given the surname Li by Li Keyong and renamed Cunxiao ......" Jieli Khan looked jealous, and said in a deep voice: "This person's martial arts are really extraordinary, a horse lance is invincible all over the world, and the bravest warrior under my account can't go a round under him." ”
At this time, I saw Jieli Khan's personal soldiers report: "Great Khan, there is an envoy from the Shatuo tribe outside the account who asks to see him, according to the messenger, he wants to ask the Great Khan for war on behalf of the Shatuo tribe, and at the same time ask the Great Khan for guilt, because without the permission of the Great Khan, he led the army to fight privately......"
"Oh? It's just in time, please come in, haha, I just need the Shatuo Department to revive the prestige of our army. Jieli Khan was overjoyed, and immediately said to the soldier.
