Chapter 321: Battle of Iron Mountain (15)

Jieli beheaded this Zhao Deyan, and his heart was much better. The reason why he wanted to kill this Zhao Deyan was to shift the responsibility for this defeat to him. In this night attack, the Turks suffered heavy losses, and stealing chickens and rice did not lead to a loss. More than 10,000 Turkic soldiers died in this sneak attack, who is responsible for this? The order was given by the Jieli Khan, and according to common sense, this responsibility should be borne by the Jieli Khan. But Jieli didn't want to bear this responsibility, otherwise his prestige would be hit. At this time, as the person who came up with the idea, Zhao Deyan was about to be "sacrificed". In order to maintain the prestige of the Khan, it is understandable that Zhao Deyan was killed. After all, Zhao Deyan is just a Han man, and in their eyes, he is a slave. What's more, Zhao Deyan gave Jieli a lot of ideas, all of which harmed those tribal leaders, and made those tribal leaders and nobles hate them so much. Now that he has been killed, there will be no one to intercede at all. This is the sorrow of the traitor, all life and death are out of their own.

And the time soon came to the next day, and corpses began to be left on the battlefield. But fortunately, it was still winter, very cold, so the corpse didn't decompose too much, and it didn't emit those bursts of stench. Li Junxian looked at the corpses all over the ground and couldn't help but feel the cruelty of the war. However, the Turks are to blame, and their continuous plundering of the Central Plains can only bring hatred to the Han people, and now that the Han people are strong, they naturally want to retaliate.

"General Li, our cavalry regiment has killed more than 7,000 Turks, and this time it's all our credit!" Liu Yang said.

Li Junxian nodded and said: "Yes, the cavalry regiment has made a great contribution this time, and the credit for destroying more than 7,000 enemies will not be missing to you." Moreover, you are annihilating them as Han cavalry, which increases the prestige of our Han cavalry. Therefore, the credit is even greater. ”

But Liu Yang said helplessly: "These are the merits of the brothers of the infantry and firearms regiments, if they didn't help me cripple those Turkic cavalry, we wouldn't have such results!" I just wanted to be a cavalryman. Being able to step on the grassland and crisscross the grassland gives us the Han family a long and majestic style. But now, our cavalry may only be able to be used as an adjunct to the infantry. Even, in the future, firearms will be the main force in combat, and our cavalry and infantry will probably withdraw from the stage of history. ”

Li Junxian didn't know how to comfort him, because sooner or later the cavalry would withdraw from the stage of history, there was no doubt about it. But because of the appearance of Li Junxian, this process may be more than a thousand years earlier. With firearms, I am afraid that in less than a hundred years, the cavalry will completely withdraw from the stage of history. And even the later infantry. It has also become a second-line force on the battlefield, and its role is getting smaller and smaller. As a cavalryman, Liu Yang knew that his own army would completely withdraw from the stage of history, and he would inevitably be a little embarrassed.

"Liu Yang, you don't have to worry, this process will take at least hundreds of years. Why are you here to worry about the people of the future? The cavalry, at least for more than a hundred years, will be retained, but it will become an auxiliary force. But don't be sad, because we Han people have already set foot on the grassland. It's time to sweep the grasslands. You just have to do your own combat now, and don't worry about it so much. Li Junxian said.

And Liu Yang thought for a moment and said, "Okay! General Lee, our cavalry regiment is asking for battle. I want to attack the Turks. ”

"You fought last night for a day, can you still fight?" Li Junxian asked.

"Yes!" Liu Yang said loudly.

After listening to Liu Yang's assurance, Li Junxian also agreed that Liu Yang would lead the cavalry regiment to fight. Now the Turks are afraid that they will have to rest, so Li Junxian plans to take this opportunity to attack them. Let them not be able to rest in peace. And this task naturally had to be given to the cavalry regiments that came and went like the wind, and only they could do this.

"Cavalry regiment, let's attack!" Liu Yang shouted.

"Yes!" All the soldiers of the cavalry regiment shouted.

And this time. The cavalry regiments left the camp one after another and rushed to the Turkic camp twenty miles away, ready to attack them.

Turkic battalions

"Khan, the cavalry of the Han people is challenging." Turkic nobles said.

"What? Do the Han people still dare to challenge? Jieli asked.

Jieli was very angry, he used to fight Li Junxian by himself, but now Li Junxian actually came here to challenge? Could it be that the current situation is such that the Turks have been beaten, but Li Junxian has become proud. Now the Turks want to cultivate, but Li Junxian took the initiative to send cavalry to attack and harass, not allowing the Turks to cultivate? Isn't this a cheat?

"Let them be destroyed immediately!" Jieli said angrily.

Although the morale of the Turkic cavalry was not high, they were still very confident in the face of the Han cavalry, which only had 2,000 men. Therefore, immediately a cavalry of more than 3,000 people ran out, ready to annihilate this Han cavalry. When they came out, Liu Yang immediately gave the order.

"Brethren, archery!" Liu Yang shouted.

"Whoosh ......"

The strange soldiers shot arrows one after another, killing some of the Turkic cavalry.

"Turkic warriors, slaughter all these Han cavalry for me!" The generals of the Turks also shouted.

"Woo-woo-woo......" The Turks began to charge.

"Soldiers, the wind is howling!" Liu Yang shouted.

Liu Yang ran away with the cavalry very couragelessly, while the more than 3,000 cavalry pursued behind him.

"Turkic warriors, catch up with them and cut them all down for me!" The general of the more than three thousand cavalry of the Turks shouted.

When Liu Yang saw this situation, he was immediately happy, these cavalry had been tricked, and they could use kite tactics later.

"The Khan has an order, not to pursue the Han cavalry!" Suddenly, a Turkic voice shouted, and those Turkic cavalry returned to the Turkic camp again, and did not continue to pursue Liu Yang.

"Damn, it seems that the Turks are also goblins, so they are not fooled?" Liu Yang scolded secretly.

If you use the same tactic twice in this world, the effect of the second time will be much smaller. And Jieli obviously knew that Li Junxian's cavalry would definitely use the Mongols' mangu kite tactics, so he had already given an order not to let his cavalry chase them. Don't let yourself lose when the time comes. The bow and crossbow equipment of the Turks is far inferior to that of the Han people, so playing this kind of mangu tactics is simply not able to play the Han people. They don't play stupidly.
