Chapter 0888. The ambush was a stalemate
Before the battle, Guo Zhifeng agreed with Li Chou to attack three times.
In the first wave, the ambushed tiger squat artillery condescendingly attacked its command center, striving to kill the Western Turkic thieves in one fell swoop, and even if they couldn't be killed, they would panic.
The second wave of attack was Li Chou's Yue cavalry, using the strong penetrating power of the iron cavalry in the river to attack the rear team of the Turks, disrupting their formation, and driving the Turks into the encirclement with all their might.
At least in the Anxi Protectorate, Guo Xiaoke defeated the Western Turks in this way.
But now, this order of attack has been disrupted by Li Chou, the Turgish people have not completely entered the encirclement, there are tiger squatting cannons and sharp weapons but they can't reach them, and the infantry can't help from a long distance in the rear, and the outcome of the battle is unresolved.
Guo Beifeng guessed that Li Chou didn't want to give up the first credit to himself, so he brazenly led the army to attack the handsome banner of Tuqi Shi first.
However, although Guo Zhifeng was depressed, he did not accuse Li Chou's position, the last time the 10,000 cavalry broke 200,000 in Beikou, he did not take the lead in attacking Belus according to the order with a private message, thus changing the entire battle plan.
Holding back the bitterness in his stomach, looking at the urgent face of Luan Jiao under his command, Guo Zhifeng snorted angrily: "What else can I do?" Beat! ”
The sudden chaos in the rear army made the raiders below Shi Xianfeng also turned back in disbelief, they explored all the way, and they didn't find any forks in the road or ambushes at all, and they couldn't imagine that the ambushes that appeared out of nowhere could attack the large group of men and horses behind them.
Before the order came, the commando Shi Rui, who had stopped, was a little confused about what to do, and the two thousand cavalry turned their horses and stopped in place.
More than a dozen herald cavalrymen raised their whips and rushed to the Chinese army restlessly, wanting to ask if they needed support, but at this moment, thunder suddenly sounded on the mountain, and in the roaring sound, more than a dozen black iron pellets fell from the sky, and in an instant, in the bursting shells, the splattered iron sand scattered in all directions, and dozens of Turks covered their bloody faces and howled bitterly, rolling off their horses.
In the incredible looking around, in the eyes of the Turkic soldiers, a stone the size of a grinding disc seemed to come out of thin air, rolling down the mountain with a roar, and under the acceleration of gravity, it rushed into the Turkic army with the irresistible force of manpower.
There was another clatter, and the horse whose leg had been broken fell with a wail, so that its owner was also crushed by the leg, and the originally neat team of the Turk Shi vanguard cavalry suddenly became uneven.
At this time, thousands of Fujian troops with bows, crossbows, and spears also roared down the hillside, and launched an attack on the Turkic cavalry like a tide.
Even the most elite armies of the Turgish country, under such unfavorable conditions, could only collapse a road, and the narrow terrain rooted in the cavalry could not break free, and after being stabbed to death by more than a hundred crossbow spears of the swarming iron army infantry in the river, the already panicked Turkic cavalry simply cried and fled backwards.
It's not too much to chase after it, Guo Beifeng just led his subordinates to oppress from behind, driving the remnants of this thousand seventy-eight troops into the large ranks of the Turks.
The valley was already narrow, and with such a vanguard team bent on escaping, it was chaotic, and suddenly the front of the Turquoise cavalry army was also in chaos.
However, at this time, the battle situation of the Iron Army in the river did not develop in a good direction.
On the hillside, the Fujian army Yue cavalry also dug a hidden trench on the hillside, and thousands of horsemen suddenly appeared from the mountain together, and the shock was beyond imagination.
The Yue cavalry in the river is indeed elite, selected from the elite knights of various ethnic groups in Central Asia, equipped with the North Tianzhu specialty rich ore refining, with cold rolling technology to impact the hard armor, holding the same hundred steel elite weapons, the first charge, Li Chou led them to break down a thousand teams of Tu Caishi.
Full of the pleasure of galloping on the battlefield, the prince of the clan roared excitedly all the way, and the long lance made by the fine craftsmanship in his hand was raised high, hiding behind the Yueqi lone guard and excitedly killing the white wolf head Daxu of Suo Ge.
More than 2,000 Yue cavalry, how did the battle really catch Suo Ge and Cheng Li off guard, the rushing cavalry directly rushed to the cavalry in front of him, seeing the soldiers of the Hezhong Army, even if Suo Ge, who looked down on the Fujian people before the battle, the first thought was to run away.
Or the long-experienced Anxi Duhufu cavalry captain Cheng Li pulled him hard, five hundred Anxi iron cavalry hall, the Yue cavalry of the Hezhong army fought and retreated, both armies are good at cavalry and archery army, the horse lance of the cavalry at close range waved each other, at a distance, the locust-like feather arrows flew over each other on the heads of the two armies, and from time to time the soldier's body shook violently, and he fell headlong under the hooves of the rolling cavalry, and was trampled to pieces.
In the end, the equipment was more powerful, and the price of about dozens of cavalry was paid, and Li Chou's shouting Zhonghe Yue cavalry killed more than 170 Anxi cavalry, three times as much as himself.
But with this kung fu, Suo Ge also escaped a few hundred meters with the handsome flag.
The battlefield preset by the Min army, for the cavalry raid, the gourd-like valley at the bottom of Li Chou's battlefield range is much wider than Guo Beifeng's, the distance originally left for the Fujian cavalry is now cheaper than the Turks, panting and stopped, looking back at the river behind him and still in the pursuit of the more horsemen, he felt that he had lost face Suo Ge's face was originally very great among the Turks, and he couldn't help but be angry, shaking the white wolf's head, almost roaring out of anger like a spark.
"Blue wolf, white wolf rides, this is going to kill all the damned Min people!"
With his roar, the Turkic thousand horsemen, who were obviously more powerful and elite than the other Turks, immediately rushed over with nomadic bows and spears decorated with furs.
The establishment of the Hezhong Protectorate is not compared with Anxi almost every moment, watching the cavalry wearing Anxi-style armor in front of him block him, waving his long lance, and Li Chou shouting in the back is also particularly excited, but seeing that hundreds of cavalry members of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate are about to be unable to resist, the vacant positions on the two wings, suddenly a large number of arrows rain over, and in the sound of crackling, the two sides of the Hezhong Yue Cavalry are actually thinner.
A kind of short bow unique to the Turks, horns, horns made of animal tendons, and then stick horns, the bow is not big, only ** centimeters, after bending, it is about half a meter, and the range is not far, only to shoot dozens of steps, but the penetration is amazing, and even the running wild boar can be shot through, which is a sharp weapon for close combat.
Although the armor of the Min army was strong, such a close-range large-scale shooting still made countless river Yue cavalry scream and fall off their horses.
The side was suddenly emptied, and Li Chou was also in a cold sweat, turning the horse's head and shrinking back a little regardless of it, only then did he calm down, and roared desperately at the white wolf's head in the distance as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Kill this grandfather, you must kill the Turkic dog!" ”
The main general shouted desperately, under the rain of arrows like locusts on both sides, the Anxi cavalry after the more difficult to get rid of the road, turned around and went straight to Suo Ge to kill, but at this time, the advantage of the raid has been lost, after all, there are 17,000 cavalry in Suo Ge's hands to call, and the layers of Turkic cavalry seem to be innumerable, and they are inexhaustible.
Like scissors trapped in wool, the sharp blade is entangled more and more by the tough wool, and the resistance to advance is getting greater and greater, and the distance is only a few hundred meters away from Suo Ge, but this distance seems to be like a moat that can never be reached.
In the end, there was no room for a further step forward in the river, and the remaining more than 1,000 cavalry galloped in a circle, relying on speed to continuously shoot out the compound bow in their hands, and the long lance pierced the Turks who had entered, which barely remained undefeated.
The battle situation fell into a stalemate, on the periphery, the infantry in the river drove the defeated Turgish forward, along the slopes at both ends of the valley down the slopes, the front of the Turgish cavalry could not raise its head, but in the middle of the Turgist Iron Cavalry formation, enduring the chaotic mass casualties of the front army, Suo Ge gritted his teeth and desperately attacked the Fujian army Yue cavalry caught in his formation, both armies were shouting and killing the sky, and it was bound to win.
"Haha, General, the last general has caught this kid."
Immediately hanging this Turkic nobleman who was dressed in a beautiful leather wallet and was knocked out by a big stick, Luan Jiao galloped over with excitement on his face, and did not forget to make a contribution to Guo Beifeng and told him that he had captured the leading tribal nobles of the Turkic vanguard.
But Guo Beifeng didn't have a trace of excitement, his thick eyebrows and big eyes were full of worry as he looked at the battle situation below, and he couldn't stop shaking his head and said anxiously: "No, if you continue to fight like this, Yue Qi will definitely lose miserably." ”
"A fiasco is a fiasco!"
Luan Jiao didn't care at all, the original strategy was discussed, but it was disrupted by Li Chou, in his opinion, Yue Qi fell into this embarrassing situation is completely his own fault, and now Luan Jiao is still on fire, so he simply arched his fist and said: "General, anyway, we have defeated the Turkic forward, our army already has the credit in hand, and then defend this valley and defeat the Turkic attack, the task will be completed, why bother with that gentleman with eyes that grow to the sky?" ”
"No, they're comrades! In the Battle of Beikou, the general also led the army to attack rashly, but General Xue never gave up on the general, and the general must not give up any of his comrades not to rescue. ”
"But, general, our army is all infantry, and if we give up the favorable terrain and go down the mountain to attack the Turks, isn't that looking for failure?"
Although what Luan Jiao said meant to shirk, it was indeed true, seeing that the more he rode below, the less he played, the teeth clucked, and the green tendons on Guo Zhifeng's head bulged......
