With the sound of war drums, the scale of victory has completely fallen to the Tang army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Kill ——!!!"
An earth-shattering roar sounded in the left and right rears of Xue Yantuo's army, and the roar was accompanied by the winter wind, forming a violent wind that swept everything, shaking the eardrums of Xue Yantuo's three armies.
The violent momentum frightened the war horses in Xue Yantuo's formation, and let out bursts of neighing.
Xue Yantuo's upper and lower knights stabilized the frightened war horses with their superb riding skills, and when they looked left and right, with the help of tens of thousands of torches, they vaguely found countless Tang Dynasty soldiers with iron helmets appearing on the horizon. I don't know when, the Tang army has already surrounded Xue Yantuo's soldiers and horses.
The people who came were all cavalry, the black armor ran like lightning, accompanied by a thunderous roar, they crashed into the rear of Xue Yantuo with lightning speed, they were as fast as a dragon, invincible, as if they were revenge demons who had returned to the world from the Nine Hells.
Dadu was stunned at first, and then screamed in an earth-shattering voice: "Li Ji, Du He......"
At this moment, how could he not guess the reason, he stepped into the trap at the beginning of the fight, and was led into the trap step by step, becoming a turtle in the urn.
"The rear team is the front team, and the enemy ...... is attacked" Dadu set up a hundred battles in the end, and immediately organized the army to meet it.
He reacted quickly, but Xue Yantuo's soldiers and horses lacked effective training after all, and in terms of individual soldier ability, perhaps Xue Yantuo's soldiers were better than ordinary Tang soldiers. But in terms of discipline, reaction, and respect for generals, there is no comparison with the Tang Army. If it is the Tang army that is ambushed at this moment, then the sentence "the rear team is the front team to meet the incoming enemy", the last Tang army will turn around at the first time and make all preparations for battle.
Xue Yantuo was far from being able to do this, they used most of their strength to attack Duhe, break the back water array, and all their strength was gathered in front.
Everything in the world is cherished by each other, everything is strong and weak, the offensive of Xue Yantuo's army is strong, and the relative rear defense is bound to be weak.
In the face of the sudden attack of the Tang army, the brave Xue Yantuo army only instinctively turned around to meet the enemy, fighting separately, and could not distinguish what was the rear team and what was the front team, and was not under command.
The Xue Yantuo army, who stayed in the rear, was withdrawn from the front line to rest, and his physical strength was already limited, and he suddenly faced the strong attack of the Tang army, what was the result, needless to say, just look at the front to know the result.
There was no need for any formation tactics at all, and under the fierce and fierce slaughter of the Tang cavalry, the exhausted Xue Yantuo soldiers had already collapsed with just one blow...... People are able to sustain a long battle in a mentally tense situation. However, once you relax, you need a long break to recover. Xue Yantuo's soldiers who were resting, temporarily responding to the battle, how could they effectively gallop on their horses and kill the enemy with a sword?
In just a few quarters of an hour, the riverside grassland was full of dead bodies of Xue Yantuo people.
"The ...... of the hate" was so depressed that he almost spurted blood to death, whipped his horse vigorously, and shouted for the soldiers on the front line to withdraw and let them meet the incoming army.
"Kill ......" Dadu set up beside him and gathered 20,000 soldiers and horses transferred from the front line, while quickly stepping forward to meet the attack, while shouting loudly with a Turkic roar: "Send an order to Subu Poquan belt, let him die and resist me, all the warriors of the Xue Yantuo clan ......" He originally planned to boost morale and fight to the death.
Before he finished speaking, there were bursts of shouting and killing behind him, and Dadushi turned his head to look at it, and felt that his heart was cold: Du He himself withdrew the backwater formation, changed his defense to attack, and personally led all the Tang troops, with the Modao Army as the first, and was killing on his side......
"Reinforcements are coming, and victory is at hand. Soldiers...... Come on! ”
After realizing that Dadu had set up troops to support the rear, Du He really chose to sprinkle a handful of salt on Xue Yantuo's wound.
The Tang army had already made all the tactics, attacking from all sides, front and back, left and right, and all sides, intending to completely encircle and annihilate Xue Yantuo's soldiers.
Dadu envisioned sending people to block the recent offensive of Duhe, the order had just been issued, and the cheers and shouts of the enemy behind were getting louder and louder, and when he looked back, Xue Yantuo's troops were no longer in formation!
Attacking from all sides, Xue Yantuo lacked effective group combat training, and when he encountered the Tang army with tacit cooperation, he could not seize the opportunity to counterattack at all.
Although Dadu is trying his best to organize a counterattack, he hopes to turn defeat into victory. It's a pity that since ancient times, there has never been a place more realistic and ruthless than the battlefield, if the defeat is successful, even if Sun Wu is resurrected and reincarnated, he will be powerless.
As soon as his sharpness was lost, Xue Yantuo's troops were defeated like a mountain, and he only felt that there were enemies in all directions.
Du He led two thousand Xuan Feng troops, and went straight to Xue Yantuo's army to meet them.
The sword is in hand, every time he strikes out, he picks or stabs, sweeps and removes, Ren is Xue Yantuo's soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and the stunt of Du He's sword complementarity is only one way to die. The swiftness and ferocity of Xue Wuying are also vividly reflected on the battlefield, and no horse can get a little bit of advantage from Xue Wuying in the collision with each other.
"When"! A scimitar fell from the sky and struck a sword that Du He thought was going to kill.
"Is that you?" Du He and the person who came to face each other, it was one of the henchmen of Dadu's set, Liuhun Liuhu.
Liuhun had already received an order from Dadu, and came to block Du He's attack.
He let out a long roar, and the blood feud of the tragic death of the friendly soldiers who fought side by side with him surged in his heart, and the scimitar in his hand conjured up thousands of sword shadows, sneering, and attacking Du He like a storm and waves.
Du He smiled calmly, threw the Dingtang knife in his hand into the air, and with a shake of his palm, a flying knife shot straight into the six chaos. The flying knife died quickly, and Liuhun had no strength to resist at all, and fell on the horse's back, dying. Raised his hand to catch the Dingtang knife and continued to kill.
In this moment of sharp edges, either you die or I die, and there is no place for mercy at all.
Although it is disgraceful to release cold arrows in such a dark way, it can kill the enemy general in the shortest possible time, which has great benefits for boosting morale, and there is no need to fight with them at all.
Duhe is a general, not a reckless man......
As soon as Liuhun died, the blocking army he brought was instantly engulfed by the Tang army.
Dancing with a mace, he met his old rival Subu Poquan on the battlefield.
Su Bu Poquan looked at the unscathed Qi Qi He Li, and shouted in horror: "Are you a human or a ghost? ”
He Li listened inexplicably, he didn't know the tactics used by Du He, so he didn't know that he was already a dead man in the eyes of others. But seeing that Subu Poquan was stunned, and his attack was a little weak, he directly used his three major killing moves to cut Subu Poquan in front of the horse.
The Tang army was brave and brave, and under the siege on all sides, Xue Yantuo's soldiers lost one after another, and many generals were punished on the spot.
"Withdraw ......" magnanimously set up a self-deprecating smile, and now he regrets it, he really underestimated Du He and Tang Jun.
Xue Yantuo's army was defeated like a mountain, and the whole army had no fighting spirit and fled in all directions. But in the night when Xue Yantuo and Du He fought to the death, a big net and an encirclement had already opened their sights, and there were Tang troops everywhere, even if Xue Yantuo's soldiers wanted to escape, they couldn't do anything at the moment.
Only a few teams escaped from the encirclement at night. The rest of the people were trapped in the formation and could not break through.
The 80,000 Tang troops fought bloodily with the Xue Yantuo soldiers who were encircled for a day and night, and the corpses were floating in the field, and the blood stained every piece of land on the battlefield.
The army of Xue Yantuo, led by Dadushe, was defeated on the bank of the Saiyin Shanda River, with an army of 80,000, almost all of which were annihilated, with as many as 60,000 killed and more than 10,000 captured.
It can also be seen here that the courage of the steppe people, in general battles, when the number of casualties reaches 30%, the morale of the army will be shaken, and if the casualties are more than half, the army will be dispersed. And Xue Yantuo's soldiers, in the case of their own fleeing and unknown generals, still fought to the death, day and night, until they paid eighty percent of the casualties, no one could bear it and chose to surrender, for which the Tang army also paid 8,362 warriors as a price.
Victory is a big victory, and the only deficiency is the omission of generosity. The combat power of Dadu's personal soldiers was extremely strong, and with the help of the night, they killed them from the northwest.
"Won!"
Du He almost became a bloody man, his physical strength had long been exhausted, and in the end, there was only one ideological support left, and now as soon as he relaxed, his body was directly sore, and he couldn't move a little thumb.
Li Ji came to Du He's side with a smile on his face and said, "General Du, you are the first to win this battle." ”
Du He said with difficulty: "The first work is not the first work, I will talk about it later, I just want to sleep on the spot now, as for Xue Yantuo's camp, it will be handed over to the chief manager, Hou Junji is there to recuperate, my people are watching, be careful, don't let him run away...... There are still 150,000 sheep there, so don't let them fall into Xue Yantuo's hands again. ”
Li Ji smiled faintly: "You don't need to worry about this, as early as when you set up a showdown with Dadu, I had already sent a team of soldiers and horses to receive Xue Yantuo's military camp." ”
When Du He heard this, his heart widened, his eyes closed, wrapped himself in a quilt, and fell asleep.
**********
When Dadu learned that the military camp was occupied by the Tang army, he had just gathered more than 200 remnants of the army, intending to return to the Xue Yantuo military camp, but on the way, he let a team of soldiers and horses intercept them, and the number was not much, only more than 400 people.
"That's the general situation...... Hou Junji said lightly about the situation of the camp being captured, saying that the Tang army came with thousands of people, and they couldn't resist it at all, so they could only escape with a few hundred people, intending to find a large army set up by Dadu to rescue.
At this moment, Hou Junji had already changed his tone, his face showed that kind of contempt from above, and he didn't look at it with a big face, but just looked at it with his spare eyes, and his eyes were full of disdain.
Dadu didn't pay attention to one thing at the moment.
Hou Junji is notorious in Xue Yantuo, and it is just that he is a deserter, who will flee with him?
What's more, there are as many as 400 people, and you must know that the left-behind soldiers he left behind are only more than 500 people......
