Chapter 61: Heart-Attacking Warfare
Xiao Quzhi rode on his horse, and led the way back to the camp of Su Xiangshana with great ambition. Behind him were thousands of high-spirited and high-spirited Anxi cavalry and Qarluq cavalry.
This battle is a great one! Although he knew that the Zhaowu Nine ** team did not need to fight, who would have thought that with just one charge, they would instantly defeat the Zhaowu Nine ** formation, forcing them to turn to the impact of the Great Food Formation.
The big cannibal reacted quickly, and at the critical moment, he killed Zhaowu Jiu**, trying to prevent the rout from attacking the main formation. But when no one expected it, the Zhaowu Nine ** team, which was defeated and cornered, broke out at this time with the last martial arts. Facing the spears and scimitars of the Great Eclipse soldiers, he charged at them desperately.
Like a group of wild beasts that have gone berserk, a crazy counterattack when they are cornered, the two thousand Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms routed the army of the Great Eclipse in one fell swoop, and it was chaotic. The big cannibal was also stunned, these usually docile Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms people were so terrible when they went crazy.
In fact, these two thousand Zhaowu Nine ** teams did not kill many Great Food soldiers, and their only contribution was to completely disrupt the Great Food military formation, and at the same time make them hedgehogs into a dense group. The real killing move was to follow the rout of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms, and the more than 4,000 Anxi and Gelulu cavalry troops rushed all the way to kill.
At this time, the Great Food Army array was in chaos, and the hedgehogs gathered together, whether they fled or stepped forward to meet the enemy, the speed of the horses could not be raised. The queue organization was disrupted again, and in a panic, they were greeted with complete annihilation.
In Anxi, under the attack of the Qarlu coalition army from both sides, the Great Food Army Array was broken in an instant! Feida also tried to organize Basel's personal guards to resist, and was immediately killed by Xiao Qubing with a shot in the throat. The Great Food Army immediately fell into a situation of fighting on their own, trying to rely on their personal bravery and courage to make a final stubborn resistance, believing that their army was not far away, hurrying in!
However, the Anxi army and the Qarluq army were also desperate to kill them before the arrival of reinforcements from the Great Food. After paying five or six hundred casualties, the Anxi Army and the Qarlu Coalition Army finally annihilated the 2,700-strong Great Food Army when the Great Food reinforcements were four or five miles away.
After a rough sweep of the battlefield, more than 4,000 Ansi and Qarluq troops supported the wounded and took as many Arab horses as possible. Even the wounded soldiers of Dashi did not have time to replenish their swords, and thousands of Damascus scimitars did not have time to collect and take away, and when Ziyad's reinforcements were less than two hundred paces away from the battlefield, they quickly withdrew from the battlefield and marched eastward.
Because of the wounded, the army moved more slowly. Gu Xiaojun rode his horse and followed behind Xiao Quai, and he was cautious by nature and said with some concern: "Captain Xiao, do you want to speed up a little, walk so slowly, what if the big food army chases after you?" ”
"Don't be afraid, after this battle, the big cannibals have lost their hearts." Xiao Quzhi turned his head and glanced at him, and said with a faint smile: "Even if we go slowly, they don't dare to chase after us, they will think that we are tempting the enemy again." Besides, there are hundreds of rangers and sentinels behind them, keeping a close watch on them. ”
Gu Xiaojun thought for a moment and smiled: "That's the same!" The big cannibal was slapped in the face this time, and more than 2,000 cavalry were eaten by us under our noses; On the way, two or three hundred were harassed and killed by our thousand cavalry, and now they did not dare to pursue. I'd like to see how ugly their expressions are now! ”
"It's definitely worse than eating, haha." Li Ergou on the side said excitedly: "This battle is too exciting, Captain Xiao, did you count this result from the beginning?" Why else do you have to shout at them in the first place? ”
"It's not." Xiao Quzhi shook his head: "I'm not an immortal, where do I have this ability." I shouted at them in the first place for two reasons. First, the army on our side also needs to be arranged and the movement is in place; Second, I want to shake the fighting spirit of the Zhaowu Nine ** team. ”
"Shake the spirit of war?" Gu Xiaojun muttered quietly.
"Yes." Xiao Quzhi nodded: "Xiao Jun, you think, if we treat the Zhaowu Nine ** Team and the Great Food Army indiscriminately, then the people of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms can only follow the Great Cannibal to fight with us to the end." Although the combat effectiveness of the Zhaowu Nine ** team is not strong, it is in a desperate situation, and in order to survive, the combat effectiveness of the outbreak will be terrifying. If we had attacked directly, the two sides would have undoubtedly joined forces immediately and resisted, and the battle would have fallen into a melee. Reinforcements from the Great Food will arrive soon, and in such a short period of time, we will not be able to wipe them all out, and the casualties will be very large. ”
"So you shouted to the people of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu and gave them a way to live, so that they no longer had the idea of fighting to the death?"
"That's right. It's just that I didn't expect it to be so good! They had no desire to fight, but the Great Cannibal forced them to fight to the death with a scimitar, and at this time their hearts were actually about to collapse. So after a hedge, they immediately went crazy and fled desperately to the back, and the Great Food Army was scattered in all directions. ”
Li Ergou smiled proudly: "The big cannibal can be regarded as lifting a stone and hitting his own feet, he deserves it!" ”
Xiao Quai's thoughts were like electricity, and when he suddenly thought of something, he couldn't help laughing: "There is also a little bit of wonder that I didn't expect at first." You think, we shouted to give the people of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu a way to live, but the big cannibal forced them to die with a scimitar. After this battle, you say, will those hundreds of surviving and undead Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms hate us or will they hate the Great Cannibal? ”
The two thought for a moment and replied, "Great cannibalism! ”
"That's right!" Xiao Quzhi said loudly: "One sentence can eliminate their hatred and confrontation with us, and increase the contradiction between them and the big cannibals." Why not? I guess that after this battle, the rift between the Great Food Army and the Zhaowu Nine ** Team will definitely get bigger and bigger. Well, this experience should be learned, and in the future, whenever we encounter the big cannibal and the Zhaowu Nine ** team together, we will shout first, or fight while shouting, intensifying their contradictions, this is called attacking the heart! ”
Xiao Quzhi suddenly thought that in another time and space, Gao Xianzhi's failure, it is very likely that he did not think of this, and did not treat the Great Cannibal and the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms people differently, and dealt the same blow, which was the ...... However, it is also possible to think of it, but Gao Xianzhi is too confident in the combat effectiveness of the Anxi Army and disdains to do so?
I don't know what happened to Gao Xianzhi's side?
Xiao Qu's worry about illness is a bit redundant, Gao Xianzhi is still on the way to Thirsty City with the army at this time, and he can arrive before sunset. On the mountain road more than 200 miles northeast of Thirsty City, more than 800 elite cavalry sent by Shi Guo to inquire about the news finally advanced the battle line for two or three miles after paying two or three hundred lives.
Then they ran into four Anxi army villages lying across the mountain road, and they could no longer move forward and fell into a dilemma. The 2,000 Anxi defenders still use ambushes and sneak attacks, consuming their lives every day.
"General, we can defeat this group of Shiguo sentinels in one go, why do we have to deal with them slowly every day?" One of the guards asked.
The general who was questioned was called Ma Lan, thirty years old, from a military family, who had been orphaned since childhood, and later became a Chang'an ranger. When he was 20 years old, he read the legend of Ma Yuan, and was deeply excited, so he joined the army in Anxi, and made many miraculous achievements in ten years, and was promoted all the way to the general Tongzheng of Zuojin Wuwei.
Ma Lan smiled and said, "It's easy to defeat, but it's inevitable that they will run away one or two to send the letter." Or, let them jump for a few days, and when the Zhongcheng army arrives, it will be the day of their destruction. What we have to do now is to guard this mountain road and not let them pass! ”
