readx; Different from the previous flexible and changeable tactics, Wang Hanxin put on a decisive battle posture from the beginning this time. www.biquge.info Of course, this is not his own willingness to do this, but he is forced to do it - for the countries of the Western Regions that have just been conquered, they must be the first rats at both ends, ready to raise and surrender the flag against Tuqi again at any time, if Wang Hanxin and Che Erlie fight a harassment war at this moment, then this group of lords will definitely think that Wang Hanxin's strength is not enough to protect themselves, and they will inevitably compete for surrender to Che Erlie. In this way, even if Wang Hanxin can defeat Che Lilie through exercise and consumption, the hard work of the previous four months will be in vain. Moreover, it is very likely that Cheelje will organize these surrendered countries to constantly harass Wang Hanxin's already unstable supply lines, so the tide of the war is likely to turn to Cheelle's side.

Since Wang Hanxin, who was at a disadvantage, put on a decisive posture, Che Erlie also abandoned the strategy of harassing the opponent's supply line at the beginning, and constantly pestering the opponent until the opponent withdrew his troops due to insufficient supplies. Because after setting foot on this land, Che Erlie learned that Wang Han's new army was only thirty or forty thousand people, and most of them were infantry. On the one hand, he was amazed that Wang Hanxin was able to pacify the Western Regions in such a short period of time with such a small number of troops, and on the other hand, he said that if he missed this excellent opportunity for a decisive battle, he would regret it for the rest of his life. Another reason why Chereel had abandoned his original plan was that he feared that if the Silk Country continued to receive reinforcements, the situation would become difficult to deal with. Cherel was well aware that it would be difficult for him to get reinforcements from the Great Khan, and although the losses in the last battle were not large, most of the troops lost were elite, and the number of elite troops in Tukhe fell further. Now that almost a third of Tukchi's elite troops are in his own army, it is already quite difficult for Abichilir to use the remaining elite troops to confront the army of the Silk Country. Being able to completely thwart the attempt of the Silk Country in a single battle was of course the result he hoped for the most.

Due to the mentality of Che Erlie, he gave up the tactics that Wang Hanxin was most afraid of, and directly fought a head-on battle with the Juanzhi * team, and the two sides opened a formation in the west of the Jiaohe ancient city ruins at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

As a city site that has been abandoned for more than 400 years, the erosion of wind and sand has already torn it to the point that only a few small sand dunes remain, and people who do not live here will not think that there was once a city.

Wang Hanxin chose to fight the Tuqi army here for a certain reason, because this is the gateway between Qiuzi and Yanqi, and although it is not a desert, there are often winds and sands, which is obviously very unfavorable to the army's actions, so that the side with more people will obviously suffer more than the side with fewer people. In addition, he also made a special trip to invite the king of Qiuzi and Yanqi to come to observe the decisive battle, and the two poor kings had to be invited, but they were already lucky compared to the king of Wusun, who had to fight side by side with Wang Hanxin, after all, they were in a relatively backward position, so as not to directly face the sword of the Tuqi army.

Wang Hanxin successfully seized the upper hand and ranked in the formation, but the formation he put on was a little confusing. Generally speaking, the formation will use cavalry to suppress the two wings, or as the main force of the attack in the forward position, but Wang Hanxin put the cavalry at the end of the entire formation, but used infantry to form the front of the formation, while Wang Hanxin himself stayed in the middle of the infantry formation and commanded.

"In this way, no matter where the cavalry attacks from, it will be seen by our side first," Che Erlie couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this formation: "Is this Wang Hanxin a fool?" Or is there any trick he has in mind? ”

Chereel remembered the advice his son Themon had given him before he left, that is, if he encountered an enemy general named Wang Hanxin, he must be careful. He knew that his son would not easily praise someone, so he naturally put a big question mark in his heart about Wang Hanxin's strange performance. In order to avoid falling into the trap of the enemy, he decided to make a tentative attack first to see what was going on.

Chereel began the first wave of the attack with 10,000 elite horsemen. After enduring the one-formula bow and arrow greeting of the Silk Country, the cavalry rushed into the infantry formation. The cavalry of Tuqi was definitely not covered, and their sharp charge soon tore a hole in the formation of the Silk Country. However, before the follow-up cavalry could widen the opening, the Juanzhi* team blocked the gap with a spear and shield team, and with the continuous fire of the archers on both sides, the advance of the Turkic army suffered heavy casualties and had to reorganize the attack. The two sides went back and forth, and the Turkic army failed to succeed in four consecutive attacks.

Che Erlie can see it clearly in the back, but his doubts are gradually increasing: judging from Wang Hanxin's response, the linkage of the silk * team is perfect, and if this situation continues, no matter how the 10,000-person team attacks, it is impossible to break through the opponent's formation. But the problem is that this kind of attack and defense is only one-eighth of the troops, if you put your own troops into full force, the other side will not be able to make such a reaction, with the meager strength of the Silk Country is not enough to face the 80,000 army to attack together, there is still the strength to fill the gap, then its formation will soon be torn apart by the Turkic army. At that point, Wang Hanxin is afraid that it is difficult for him to return to heaven even if he is an immortal, and it is impossible for Wang Hanxin not to know such an obvious result, so what confidence does he have to fight this battle?

Cheerlie immediately decided to immediately send an additional 20,000 cavalry to fight together to see Wang Hanxin's reaction. Sure enough, after the increase in troops, the points of cavalry attacks also increased, and it became more and more difficult for the army of the Silk Country to deal with it, not because of the speed, but because of the difference in absolute strength, which made it difficult to block the movement of the Turbid army.

It was only then that Chereel was relieved. Because if Wang Hanxin has any conspiracy and tricks, if he doesn't take it out at this time, then these 30,000 cavalry can also defeat the infantry formation of the Silk Country, and the remaining 10,000 or so cavalry can still deal with the remaining 50,000 people? In order to hasten the enemy's retreat, Cheerel threw the remaining 40,000 men into battle, leaving only 10,000 men and horses to continue to watch the battle, in case the opponent's cavalry took advantage of the opportunity to play any tricks.

Faced with the attack of 70,000 cavalry, the infantry of the Silk Country finally couldn't resist it and began to retreat. Chereel immediately ordered a breakthrough from the center, dividing the enemy army into two, so that the left and right could not take care of each other, and at the same time set the goal of killing the enemy's main general. Under the onslaught of the Tuqi cavalry, the center of the infantry formation of the Silk Country began to retreat like an avalanche, and soon the advance of the Tuqi army approached the small command platform where Wang Hanxin was in command. But when they rushed to the front of the stage, Wang Hanxin had already disappeared, leaving only a banner of General Dingxi still fluttering alone.

Even if you don't kill the enemy's main general, being able to capture his banner is enough to demoralize the opponent and boost your allies. The Tuchi soldiers struggled to cut down the flagpole, and as the banner fell, the morale of the Tuchi soldiers reached its highest point, and all kinds of cheers came and went. The Silk* team, on the other hand, retreated like a tidal wave, even faster than the cavalry of the Turchi.

However, at this time, the tide of battle changed, and a loud bang flooded everyone's eardrums. (To be continued.) )
