Chapter 82: Five Chaotic Battles (II)
Just when Abicheril was suspicious, Su Chengdong took action before him. He pushed forward all the forty-six thousand men of his rank.
This intention is obvious, if his own formation and the forward 30,000 people who have become two wings advance in a zigzag formation, then the tribal armies that lack group combat experience will be unconsciously sucked into this zigzag formation, then Su Chengdong can form a flanking situation against this salient, once these armies are defeated, then it will become a situation where the Turkic army is divided. In terms of actual combat capability, the tribal armies are indeed the easiest link to be defeated.
Abichilir certainly did not let this happen, and he immediately ordered the forward troops to assault with all their might, and then spread out behind the enemy's two flanks, with the goal of cutting off the enemy's two wings. This method of warfare will cause huge casualties to the forward troops, but Abicheril doesn't care about these tribal alliances, he just wants the result of cutting off the two wings of the enemy, in order to break these two wings, even if the forward is all finished, it doesn't matter, because the victory is already locked, his Chinese army and the cavalry on both wings can annihilate the remaining Liaodong army in one fell swoop.
Abichel's order was given just right, if it was issued later, then Su Chengdong's own formation might be able to complete the formation with the left and right flanks, but the ability to act of the tribal armies made Abichel's forehead sweat, and he wondered if he was thinking too highly of these barbarians, and they were afraid that their ability to execute their orders would be a big mistake.
At this moment, there was a sudden chaos in the forward formation, and in a stunned expression on the left and right, Abicheril looked at the situation in front of him and was shocked: it was not a chaos, but a rebellion!
In the camp of the strikers there were three or four groups of people, who were crying out to go in their own direction, while constantly inciting others to join them. The surrounding troops were clearly confused, and some were at a loss for what to do. Some of the less determined joined in, while others brandished their swords at the rebels, adding to the chaos even more.
Abicheril understands that this is the worst situation, obviously someone has been secretly bewitched by Su Chengdong to join the ranks of the rebellion, and such a mess in such a critical period undoubtedly gives the Liaodong Army an excellent opportunity to break through the middle lane! No wonder Su Chengdong would put on such a strange formation, it turned out to be such a hand! I actually fell for the leaders of these tribes. They left hostages in their own hands, but they did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of these hostages to join the betrayal!
It was his own miscalculation, his two wings were pinned, once the front was broken through by the Liaodong Army, then the two wings would be attacked, and his own formation could not cross the front to eliminate Su Chengdong's middle army, so he could only choose one from the left and right wings to bypass, and the situation took a sharp turn.
At this time, the battle situation continued to evolve towards the side that was more unfavorable to the Tukchi army, and Su Chengdong's own formation had already made contact with the Tukchi forward troops. Those who had originally intended to eliminate the rebels saw the arrival of the Liaodong Army, and immediately understood that their situation was either to continue to resist and die at the hands of the Liaodong Army, or to join the ranks of the rebels, so most people chose the latter. As the number of rebels grew, the entire front line snowballed, and eventually turned against each other as if they had broken through the tipping point. It took less than fifteen minutes to evolve from the emergence of the rebellion to this scene.
Within fifteen minutes of this sudden change in the situation, Abicil had made up his mind. He drew the sword from his waist. He said in a low voice: "Come with me and kill all the rebels!" ”
Strictly speaking, Abicilil's words are not an order. Rather, it is inciting the revenge of the soldiers. Whoever sees this scene will understand that their side has fallen into passivity, and their morale will soon collapse, and at this time, only by inciting their revenge can they maintain their morale, and at the same time eliminate the rebels, look for opportunities to rescue friendly troops from enemy forces.
"Follow the Great Khan! The god of Kunlun blesses us rebels who have defeated all evil! His generals understood the Great Khan's order and immediately conveyed it to his subordinates.
The 20,000 men of the Turkic army's main formation followed the Abichilir into a wild goose and marched towards the forward rebel troops. The tribal coalition forces that had just turned their guns back hadn't had time to regroup. It was attacked by the Turkic army. Abicheril rode his beloved horse neighing and leaping into the ranks of the rebels with a sword in hand. His presence was the embodiment of death, hissing horses as fast as ghosts, and Abicheril's sword was like a lightning bolt that glittered with the light of the moon, cutting a path through the tribal alliance with blood and corpses. The Turks who followed him were like a pack of hungry wolves. Spread their fangs and tear at their prey. The tribal alliance is not much worse than the Tukchi army in terms of its individual combat ability, but their equipment is backward, and they lack the ability to fight together. But even an invincible warrior like Abichellir couldn't break through such a thick formation to deal with Su Chengdong's own formation. And Abicheril's fierce offensive made the tribal coalition understand that they must fight to the death with the Turkic army in order to survive before completing the reconstruction of the psychological shadow of themselves as rebels, and with this determination, the tribal alliance's will to fight has been greatly improved, although their coordination ability is still the same, but the breakthrough speed of the Turki army has begun to slow down.
When Abichilir was fighting to defeat the rebels, Su Chengdong took the opportunity to send troops to support the operation of the two wings, and the two wings of the Turkic army were suddenly attacked by the Liaodong Army and the rebels, which was already in a disadvantageous position, and now Su Chengdong's reinforcements made the situation even worse, and the cavalry troops on both wings began to be anxious when they failed to achieve results in four consecutive assaults, and the weakness of the Turkic army's lack of defense was undoubtedly exposed, Su Chengdong adjusted his tactics in time, constantly expanded the attack point, and increased the enemy's casualties. The Turks became more and more passive.
The first half of the battle was entirely because Su Chengdong had secretly moved before the war to gain the initiative, and the middle part was the first attack of the Tuqi army by the Liaodong Army before its own attack power was exerted, resulting in passivity everywhere, which can be said to be the result of Su Chengdong's proper use of personal tactics. It was the practical implementation of these two steps that laid the foundation for the ultimate victory.
By the time Abicilir had managed to break through the thick formation of the Clan Alliance, splitting it in two, the two flanks of Turch had already shown defeat. At this time, if Abicil can find Su Chengdong's location, then the outcome of the war is likely to be rewritten, but unfortunately Su Chengdong has already joined the attack on the right flank of Tuqi with his main force, and there is only an empty land in front of Abicilir and a chaotic battle situation behind him.
