Chapter 968: Battle of Taiyuan (9)
Luo Cheng led 5,000 cavalry to kill more than ten miles away from Lou Fu Pass, and the Sui cavalry could be clearly seen from the Guancheng, but at this moment, the yellow dust was rolling on the opposite side, and a cavalry army was killing head-on, Luo Cheng immediately shouted: "Cavalry array!" ”
5,000 cavalry quickly lined up in formation, with the main force of 3,000 cavalry in the middle, and 1,000 soldiers on each side as the flanks. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"General, it doesn't seem right!"
A general saw that the direction of the cavalry on the opposite side was a little strange, and whispered to Luo Cheng: "It doesn't seem to be coming at us." ”
Luo Cheng also found an abnormality, the rolling cavalry on the opposite side turned out to be running in an oblique eastward direction, not for himself, Luo Cheng was a little surprised in his heart, did he want to go around his back?
But he didn't feel like it, this was not a roundabout way of fighting, but as if he was passing by himself, and he raised his hand and ordered: "No soldier shall act without my order!" ”
The 10,000 Sijie army rushed through two miles east of the Sui army and rushed north, and the soldiers of the Sui army felt strange, could it be that the other party was going to save Yangma City?
Luo Cheng thought the same way at first, but this idea was immediately overturned, if it was to save Yangma City, first this army would entangle itself first, and then the other army would detour north.
But now, the only Turkic army that came to meet him actually passed by him, and exposed the back of the Turkic army to himself, which is absolutely unreasonable.
Luo Cheng knew that there must be something strange in this, but he didn't have time to think about it, he waved his sword and said sharply: "The army is attacking!" ”
The cavalry of the 5,000 Sui Army suddenly launched and rushed towards Lou Fu Pass.
.......
Kang Sheali sent all 25,000 soldiers to attack Guancheng, but he kept looking back, he was not at ease with the army, especially not at ease with Acai, it was rare to see him so happy to agree to go to war, in the past he either put forward conditions or did not obey the order.
And this time he actually attacked without hesitation, Kang Shealy always felt that there was something wrong with this, maybe Ah Cai was just dealing with himself, and he didn't want to go all out at all.
"General, no! Sijie's army retreated north. ”
Some soldiers pointed to the north and shouted, and Kang Sheli could also see clearly, the Sijie army did not meet the Sui cavalry at all, but retreated directly north from the east, this scene shocked Kang Sheli, he never expected this kind of thing to happen.
"General, what should I do? Do you want to withdraw the army! ”
At this moment, a soldier shouted: "General Mancha has taken the city." ”
A flame of hope ignited in Kang Sheli's heart, and he gritted his teeth and ordered the five hundred cavalry beside him: "Quickly go and resist the Sui cavalry, how long can you stop!" ”
Despite the fact that this was to be sent to death, the five hundred cavalry, led by a commander of a thousand soldiers, rushed to the northern barracks.
Kang Shea's heart was raised in his throat, and he clasped his palms together and prayed silently, "Eternal heaven! Leave the last chance to the Turks! ”
......
Man Cha has attacked the battlements, he suddenly has a pain in the back of his shoulder, a Sui soldier stood on the horse wall and shot him from behind, Man Cha roared, he pulled out the arrow on his body, casually smashed the copper shield in his hand at the Sui army, waved the mace, and smashed the head of a Sui army commander.
With another roar, he grabbed the arm of another soldier and threw him off the city wall, his incomparable ferocity made a young Sui soldier in front of him hesitate for a moment, it was this opportunity, he climbed the battlements with one hand, jumped on the city wall, looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, the Turkic soldiers under the city cheered, and dozens of his men rushed up after him.
The young Sui soldier realized that he had fallen into a catastrophe, and he shouted and threw himself on him, trying to pounce on the fierce Turkic general from the wall.
Man Cha smashed a stick on the face of the Sui soldiers, beating the soldiers' faces to shreds, he grabbed the corpses of the young soldiers, and threw them at the rushing Sui soldiers, knocking over two Sui soldiers in a row.
"Hurry up and call for help! The Turkic army slaughtered the city. A Sui military captain hissed.
Man Cha roared, brandished his mace and pounced on the Sui army.
More than a dozen Sui soldiers' eyes were red, and under the leadership of the captain, they swung their spears together, and Mancha waved his mace, knocking over seven or eight Sui soldiers in a row, and more than 30 Turkic soldiers behind him had also climbed to the top of the city, and began to fight with the Sui soldiers in close quarters, opening up a clearing, and the Turkic soldiers continued to pour into the city, and a gap finally appeared in the east city wall, and the situation was critical.
The commander of the thousand commanders was particularly fierce, with infinite strength, killing more than 20 people in a row, and no one could resist.
At this moment, I only heard a loud shout, "The enemy general Hugh is going to be rampant and eat me with a knife!" ”
The sound of the knife arrived, a knife of cold light like lightning slashed towards Mancha, the Sui army commander Wei Wentong led two hundred soldiers to kill, Mancha was infinitely powerful, he turned around, the mace in his hand went away, and he had to 'dang! There was a piercing loud sound, the knives and sticks collided, and Wei Wentong's arm was numb for a while, and the war horse retreated a few steps, and Mancha also shook his arms sore, and his feet were unstable, and he retreated again and again, and sat on the ground with his buttocks.
Wei Wentong saw that his big knife was missing a small opening, he was extremely distressed, this was the big knife left to him by his father, and it was actually broken, he roared angrily, urged the horse to rush up, and no longer fought with this Turkic general,
The cold light of the sword shadow slashed from all directions, Wei Wentong ranked ninth among the twenty fierce generals in the world, the knife technique is superb, and how can a Turkic warrior compare, his knife is sharp and accurate, the knife slashes at the opponent's people, Mancha is horrified, waving the mace to resist, only to feel a sharp pain in the right arm, one arm has been cut off by the big knife, and the mace also flies out of his hand.
Man Cha roared in pain, turned around and ran a few steps, rushed out of the city wall, and landed on the corpses piled up outside the city, maybe there was a glimmer of hope for survival, but his body had just flown out of the city, a cold light flashed, and his big head and body were separated, blood splattered, and the Turkic soldiers who were climbing the city were stunned.
Wei Wentong didn't care about Mancha's death, he rode towards the most dense Turkic soldiers in the city, the sword flashed, blood burst out, and the screams rang out, and in just a moment, more than 30 Turkic Guards soldiers who followed Mancha to the city were all killed by Wei Wentong.
The morale of the Sui soldiers was greatly boosted, and dozens of other Turkic soldiers who rushed to the city were killed, and the gap in the eastern city was resealed.
Wei Wentong was almost out of strength, and his eyes were black for a while, but he knew that Lou Fuguan had been saved.
.........
Mancha's death brought more than despair to Kangsali, but more of an endless fear.
"The cavalry of the Sui army is here!"
The soldiers shouted in horror, only to see that the cavalry of the Sui army, which was still ten miles away, suddenly appeared five miles away, they passed through the barracks, and divided hundreds of cavalry to meet the five hundred Turkic cavalry, but the rest of the main cavalry did not stop at all, and continued to rush in the direction of Loufu Pass.
"Bastard!"
Kang Yuli roared angrily, the unauthorized withdrawal of Sijie's army not only made them fail, but also put them in a desperate situation, he only hated himself for why he didn't kill that bastard of Ah Cai earlier.
At this time, Kang Sheli suddenly realized an extremely serious problem, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, turned his horse's head and galloped towards the city wall, "Stop the siege, collect the troops immediately!" ”
The cavalry of the Sui army had been killed five miles away, and if he did not withdraw his troops, the army would not have time to retreat and mount his horse in the future, and they would suffer a sharp blow from the Sui army from behind, which was a price he could not afford.
'When! While! While! ’
The hurried bell rang, the 25,000 Turkic army retreated like a tide, and the soldiers at the head of the city also saw the reinforcements that had been killed, and a cheer suddenly sounded on the head of the city.
The Turkic army is to attack the city in the form of infantry, all the war horses are concentrated in the position two miles away, with wooden railings to encircle the city seven or eight large horse circles covering a wide area, each horse circle is the war horses of the soldiers of various tribes, the largest horse circle is the war horse concentration of the Turks, covering an area of 100 acres, guarded by 100 soldiers.
The Turkic army besieging the city needed to retreat first, and each of them mounted and reorganized their ranks before they could meet the battle, and the Sui army's 5,000 cavalry was already close at hand, and Kang Sheli suddenly remembered the fatal loophole that the soldiers were still infantry.
Luo Cheng also discovered this loophole, and was overjoyed in his heart, shouting: "Attack the horse circle!" ”
Five thousand Sui troops were like a sharp sword, killing one horse ring after another, the speed of the war horse galloping far exceeded the speed of the human leg running, only a moment, the Sui soldiers killed in front of the horse ring, they took the lead in breaking the railing of the largest horse circle, driving a group of war horses to run north.
There was a mess under Lou Fu Pass, and the Qigu people closest to the horse circle took the lead in getting on the war horse, and they didn't have time to kill the Sui cavalry.
Luo Cheng shouted and ordered: "The first battalion will go to meet the battle, and the rest of the battalions will continue to destroy the horse pen." ”
A thousand Sui cavalry went to meet the Qigu cavalry, and the rest of the Sui army continued to destroy the horses, a large number of war horses were not blocked by the horse ring, and began to swarm to the north. (To be continued.) )
