Chapter 231: A Big Loss

After the reorganization of the Turkic army, the target was really Wang Shichong, who pushed the armored cavalry to the front, lined up in a neat formation, and then charged intensively, the light cavalry followed closely and outflanked the two wings, like a rushing torrent, tens of thousands of horses' hooves hit the ground at the same time, shaking the earth trembling slightly, before the men and horses arrived, the feather arrows that were as dense as hail and raindrops had already overwhelmingly fallen on the head of the Sui army in Jiangdu.

Ashina Eliver also has no choice, the task given to him by Shibi Khan is to prevent the Sui army from setting up camp and protecting the activity space of the main Turkic force, now that the Sui army is out of the camp to fight, how can the Turkic army stop the Sui army from setting up camp if it does not defeat the Sui army outside the camp, and how can it suppress the momentum of the Sui army to be oppressed, and protect the little cavalry activity space left? Therefore, even if he found that the strength of these Sui troops from the south in the battle exceeded his estimate and imagination, and he also knew that Wang Shichong's turtle formation was not easy to gnaw, Ashina Eliver could only do his best to take down this turtle formation, otherwise it would not only hurt morale, but he would not be able to explain to Shibi Khan and Ashina's family when he went back.

Wang Shichong also has no choice, the black-hearted son-in-law does not send reinforcements, and insists that he continue to resist, Wang Shichong's disobedience is disobedience, and he deliberately retreats to save his strength, and he does not have the courage - the black-hearted son-in-law will definitely not give up, and even if he kills him, he is also a selfless and loyal service to the country, so Wang Shichong has no choice, and can only curse the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the black-hearted son-in-law, while praying for the possession of the deceased Great Sui general Daxi Changru, while commanding the army to meet the enemy with all his might, and roaring endlessly, "Hold your ground." Hold on! Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Bow and arrow must not stop! ”

The heavy infantry of the Jiangdu Sui army at the front raised their spears in unison, like a row of spikes on the edge of the turtle array, and the heavy infantry whose iron armor had been somewhat broken and deformed tried to stand firm, close to each other's bodies, the long shield hands in front of them used their bodies to hold the long shield tightly, and the light infantry in the back also used their bodies to resist their backs, trying to help them meet the huge impact that was about to come, and then the archers in the rear were desperately pulling their bows and arrows, trying their best to suppress the charging momentum of the Turkic cavalry, Work together to meet the frenzied onslaught of the steppe bandits, and defend your flesh and blood against the sharp arrows of the nomadic bandits.

The Turkic armored cavalry rushed in with the rolling yellow sand, and directly hit the turtle formation of the Sui army without hesitation, the war horse soared, the horse's hooves stepped down, the Sui army's long shield was raised, the spear was stabbed, the horse's hooves were smashed, the long shield was broken, the sound of gold and iron colliding, the screams of the soldiers of the two armies being injured and dying, and the neighing of the war horses, all converged into one, chaotic and miserable like the screams of the souls of the nine hells, the blood suddenly flew at the junction of the two armies, and the circular turtle formation of the Sui army was also knocked out of a depression at once, The enemy was forced to retreat nearly two feet.

At that moment, Wang Shichong, who was in the array, and Chen Yingliang, who were watching the battle from a distance, also had their hearts in their throats, because once the Turkic cavalry broke through this depression and directly entered the interior of the turtle formation of the Sui army, Wang Shichong's painstaking arrangement of this turtle formation was equivalent to directly breaking it.

Fortunately, the brave and warlike Jiangdu Sui army was possessed by the Chinese heroic spirit at this moment, although it was forced to retreat, although countless soldiers were hit by the Turkic heavy cavalry and spit blood directly and even flew up directly, and many Sui soldiers were directly trampled by the Turkic war horses and trampled into meat sauce, but after being pressed back more than a zhang, the Sui soldiers still withstood the Turkic heavy cavalry with flesh and blood and continued to advance, did not give the Turkic cavalry a chance to rush into the formation, and re-pulled the Turkic cavalry into hand-to-hand combat.

Seeing this scene, even in the ranks of the Taiyuan Sui army, which had been extremely disdainful of the Sui army in Jiangdu, they couldn't help but burst into a burst of earth-shattering cheers, and their morale was greatly boosted, because the soldiers of the Sui army knew very well that they were definitely not afraid of hand-to-hand combat with the Turkic cavalry face to face, and they were desperate for their lives, afraid that they were only afraid of the cavalry and arrow rain of the Turkic army and the charging and collision of men and horses, and as long as they withstood the charge and impact of the Turkic armored soldiers, the Turkic army basically had no hope of breaking through the turtle formation of the Sui army. At the same time, Li Yuan couldn't help frowning again, and he was even more jealous of the Jiangdu Sui army's ability to fight.

The development of the war was also as expected, failed to successfully break into the Sui army's tortoise formation, and after being pulled into frontal hand-to-hand combat by the Sui infantry, the Turkic cavalry had no hope of breaking the formation at all, and could only honestly stab with the Sui infantry with knives and spears, and fought hand-to-hand with their lives.

At this point in the war, the Turkic army's dream of smashing Wang Shichong's tortoise formation in one fell swoop had actually been completely frustrated, Ashina Eliver's face turned blue, and he had to reconsider the countermeasures, but Chen Yingliang nodded again and again on the side of the Sui army's flag array, and after a little calculation, Chen Yingliang turned his gaze to Yun Dingxing's position and ordered: "Zhu Cang listens to the order." ”

Since the reunion with Chen Yingliang, Zhu Cang really heard Chen Yingliang call his name for the first time, and Zhu Cang was a little distracted in surprise, until Miao Haichao pushed him from behind, Zhu Cang came back to his senses, hurriedly came out of the line to hug his fists, and replied loudly: "The end will be!" ”

"I order you to lead the five thousand troops of the Zuotun Guard, go out of the camp and wait for orders, line up the glaive array, and pay attention to giving up the space for the rear army to leave the camp." Chen Yingliang commanded expressionlessly: "The enemy is coming, face the enemy head-on, if the enemy does not come, without an order, you are not allowed to act without authorization, and those who violate the order will be killed." ”

"Violators?" Zhu Cang shook his hands again, then still hugged his fists and sang a promise, and then quickly went down to lead the troops out of the camp, and quickly arranged the Glaive Array requested by Chen Yingliang in front of the big camp, and it was also the Glaive Array with extremely high requirements for the main general's force value.

Chen Yingliang somewhat overestimated the ability of the army under the command of General Yun Lao, seeing that Zhu Cang led the army out of the camp, and before the Zuotun guard was completed, Ashina Eliver, who had already suffered enough of the battle, had already ordered an attack, and the two thousand Turks who had been arranged in the northwest of the Sui army in Jiangdu rushed to attack first, and rushed straight to Zhu Cang's team, Zhu Cang hurriedly waved his army to meet the enemy, and the two crescents that had not yet been fully opened also hurriedly closed left and right, and started a melee with the Turkic army before the position was firmly established, although it was not a very loss. But there was no chance to resist the Turkic charge as forcefully as Wang Shichong.

Zhu Cang's attack was unfavorable, and of course General Yun's face was a little unbearable, constantly complaining that Zhu Cang's movements were not fast enough to stand up and the formation was too slow, and he also explained to his lackeys in words, saying that the Turkic army came too fast, and Zhu Cang really didn't have much time to settle down. Chen Yingliang remained silent, just quietly waiting for the next move of the Turkic army.

The Turkic army really made a move, and found that the Sui army's ability to fight was too strong, and Ashina Eliver, who refused to fight with the Sui army again, finally seized the opportunity, of course, there would be no politeness, and after another order, five thousand Turkic cavalry immediately came out of the battle, and did not hesitate to kill the Zhu Cang team who had not yet formed the formation.

Chen Yingliang had to make adjustments again, but Chen Yingliang did not send reinforcements to Zhu Cang, but arranged for a herald to leave the camp and give an order to Li Yuan, who had not been attacked so far, and shouted: "Go and give an order to Ambassador Li, and order him to march with the whole army and go straight to the Turkic flag formation!" ”

After receiving Chen Yingliang's order, Li Yuan frowned for the third time today, but he didn't dare to disobey the military order in public, so he had to order a drum attack and lead the army north to attack the Turkic flag formation. As a result, Ashina Eliver was also somewhat embarrassed, not fighting is equivalent to waiting to be killed, and if he fights, it is easy to hurt potential allies, but if he doesn't fight, he will definitely not work, and he was forced to send another 10,000 troops to meet the Taiyuan Sui army head-on, and the Taiyuan Sui army, which was also equipped with a large number of bows and arrows, launched a bow and arrow battle. As a result, the reserve team around Ashina Eliver was unconsciously only about 18,000 left.

At the same time, Chen Yingliang made another adjustment, ordering Liu Jingye, the general of the Zuotun Guard, to lead an army of 5,000 from the left camp to camp and go north to take the Turkic position, and secretly ordered Liu Jingye to immediately form a square circle array to protect himself once he was intercepted by the Turks, and did not require Liu Jingye to kill many enemies, but only asked Liu Jingye to entangle more than the same number of enemies.

Liu Jingye was ordered to go out of the camp, led the army to the north not far away, before he had time to cross the front of the camp, he was already entangled by the same number of Turkic light cavalry, Liu Jingye gathered according to the secret order to protect himself, and contained the five thousand Turks in the northwest of the Sui army camp, at the same time, Chen Yingliang also immediately arranged for Miao Haichao to lead the army of 5,000 troops out of the camp from the front, to reinforce Zhu Cang, who had been unable to parry, and induce the Turks to continue to increase troops to the front.

After a few chess pieces fell, Chen Yingliang's sinister intentions and despicable face have been clearly revealed, that is, to take advantage of the Sui army's local strength advantage in this area, stretch the battle line as much as possible, induce the Turks to divide their troops as much as possible, and induce the Turks to use their forces excessively to form a local balance, and then suddenly invest in the elite to break these balances, fight more and less locally, defeat the weak with the strong, and finally win the victory of the entire battlefield. After guessing Chen Yingliang's plan, and nodding secretly, Li Jing leaned into Chen Yingliang's ear again, and said in a low voice: "Dashuai, move quickly, this place is only twenty miles away from the Turkic camp, yes."
