Chapter 382: The Old Hen Becomes a Duck
(Thank you for the support of Blueberry Q Crystal, thank you!) )
But in the blink of an eye, a large group of people pursued nine people, and they had not caught up after chasing for a long time, and the distance between them had been kept at about 100 steps, which was exactly the distance that the two sides could attack each other on the horse.
Arrows came and went, but in the end, there were more than a dozen arrows on both sides, but none of them were injured, and the distance was still that distance. It's the distance that always makes people think that they can catch up with it if they rush again, and they can no longer rush up to melee combat without fear of the enemy's archery skills, but that distance can never be narrowed.
"Fooled!" The experienced old black man and the old one-eyed changed their faces for the first time,, they hunted geese all day long, but today they were pecked by geese.
The old black man and the old one-eyed were furious, waved their scimitars, and shouted at the auxiliaries who were still watching the excitement: "him-mother-, go up together, surround them, don't leave a single one, kill them all!" The rest of the auxiliaries also shouted, crouched on the horse's back, clamped the horse's belly, and chased after him desperately.
A forest appeared in front of them, and the nine Han men rushed directly into the forest without looking back. The grove was not large, just a small tree growing along the edge of a seasonal river valley. The Tiele people who followed behind could clearly see that the Han people did not stop after entering the forest, but kept running along the valley where the water flowed only during the summer rainy season, and they continued to chase without looking back.
More than 80 horsemen chased wildly, and the horses' hooves stepped on the snow, raising countless snow powder and mud, and the sound was like thunder.
It is a small river valley that is wide on the outside and narrow on the inside, and the slopes on both sides are covered with small trees. You chase after me on both sides. After chasing for two or three miles, the group of Han people in front of them suddenly disappeared along the curve.
The Tielers turned a corner. After chasing for a while, I found that I had chased a death valley. In front of it was an extremely narrow opening, and there were many rocks all over it.
Looking at this rare terrain, an ominous premonition hit the old one-eyed heart. It's not good, I'm cāo, it's a plan in a plan, and they're on the road again. He hurriedly shouted to the people around him, "Retreat!" After saying that, he didn't care about the others, and he immediately turned to rush out.
And then. It's too late.
A sharp arrow whined in the air, and a group of cavalry suddenly emerged from the groves on both slopes, led by one of the Han men who had just run faster than rabbits, the damned fellow who had run all the way to return his belongings. But at this time, this guy killed them again in a big way, and dug such a big hole for them. What's even worse is that there are already more than nine cavalry rushing out, more than ninety, and there are Han cavalry on both sides of the woods constantly rushing out. Exercise. Could it be the fuck that the Sui army has entered the grassland?
Guo Xiaoke looked at this group of panicked Tiele people with some disdain, last night, he took his men to the nearby temporary camp of Tiele cavalry and caught two tongues. After some interrogation, I got the information I wanted. Guo Xiaoke learned that Tuli was leading his tribe to retreat eastward, and Dulan Khan ordered arrows to the Tiele tribe in Mobei. Let them send troops to intercept Tuli and prepare to go south to join Dulan. All the Tieler people have at the moment are a few forwards. There are not many of them, but they are available to all tribes. There were more than a thousand horsemen, and there were only a hundred horsemen, and they did not unite together, but according to their respective tribes, although on the surface it was the vanguard of the Tiele tribes who united to the south, but there was no unified command general, and even the camp was not put together, but the east and west were fighting separately.
The little Turki Khan Ashina has not yet come, but these Tiele forwards, who are responsible for intercepting the Turks, are not idle, and they are raiding and attacking the Sogdian tribes on the steppe.
The slaughtered camp they saw yesterday was none other than a Sogdian tribe, and it was the vanguard of the Tielev tribe who had sacked them, and there were not many of them, but only three hundred horsemen, but they rushed all the way to a place less than two hundred miles north of Huaihuang.
Guo Xiaoke caught two tongues yesterday, and as a result, none of those Wei people found that there were no missing people. Originally, Guo Xiaoke also planned to catch two tongues and interrogate him, and after getting the information, he would return to Huaihuang immediately. It can be seen that those Wei Su people are so careless, Guo Xiaoke is unwilling to go back like this. After urgently sending people to recruit the other teams in the regiment, he and the officers of the regiment had an urgent discussion, and finally decided to send two people to take the two prisoners and the information they found to return to Huaihuang immediately and report to Huaihuang. And he took the brothers of the 18th Cavalry Regiment and prepared to do a big job.
Since the Wei people were so arrogant and defenseless against the enemy, and the other Tiele soldiers and horses were also scattered everywhere, it would not be an impossible task to raid the 300 defenseless forward cavalry of the Wei Hui Division with 500 men from an integrated cavalry regiment of the 18th Cavalry Regiment.
However, even if he had decided to stay and do this vote, Guo Xiaoke did not rely on his superior strength and suddenness to raid Wei Su's camp.
Guo Xiaoke is a star player in the Huaihuang Polo League and the captain of the team. He is a good player in polo, and he is good at laying out the lineup and planning tactics. Now this battle is the same, he does not intend to kill directly, but wait for the night to pass, this morning, the eighteenth regiment and ten cavalry corps have been assembled, and after a midnight rest, in advance in this favorable terrain of the woods, he personally ran to a place not far outside Wei Su's camp to lure the enemy in person.
The plan went very smoothly, and after the surprise interrogation of the captives last night, Guo Xiaoke knew that there were only 300 Wei people in the camp, including 100 soldiers and 200 auxiliaries. The leader of Tieler, who led the team, still had some experience, and he left a hundred soldiers in the camp to recuperate, and did not leave the camp, but only sent auxiliaries out to fight the grass valley every day, and the auxiliary soldiers who defended the camp and the auxiliary soldiers who fought the grass valley took turns to go out to fight the grass valley and attack the nearby Sogdians.
Today it was the turn of the old one-eyed and their hundred people to come out, and they even knew the direction of today's grass valley, Guo Xiaoke didn't make any effort at all, but on the way that these people had to go through the grass valley, pretending to be a small Han caravan that passed by camped there last night, and then this morning suddenly found the Tiele wolf bèi and fled. Just as he expected, the Tiele people were fooled, and then they were led to the preset ambush battlefield, where five hundred men surrounded one hundred auxiliaries. No, there are no hundred, and when Guo Xiaoke lured the enemy along the way, they had already killed more than a dozen. Although these Tiele people are known as a nation on horseback, they are only auxiliaries, while Guo Xiaoke's 18th Cavalry Regiment is a professional cavalry, although it has not been established for a long time, but it is all old cavalry who can lure the enemy. What's more, the Huaihuang cavalry is mainly composed of Huaihuang horse thieves, Sanfan herdsmen and other hussars.
Guo Xiaoke waved his cavalry knife forward, "Kill, don't leave a single one!" ”
The cavalrymen of the 18th Cavalry Regiment in a neat formation drew their sharp and bright cavalry knives in unison, because of this unique terrain, the 18th Regiment went to the back, and the Tiele people became turtles in the urn, and there was nowhere to escape. was beaten by a rain of arrows and crossbows, and was killed by a rush, and it was already out of formation.
At this time, the 18th Cavalry Regiment once again sorted out the formation, and the cavalry of all cities lined up on the battlefield, like an iron wall.
The knights put away their bows and crossbows, the cavalry knives were unsheathed, and the horses were slowly instigated, and the iron walls lined up to press the scattered Wei Su auxiliaries in the field. The defeated Tiele cavalry could not resist this kind of cavalry battle formation that Yi Feng had been working hard to implement at the beginning of the establishment of the cavalry.
Old One-Eye and the others still wanted to fight the trapped beasts, and they desperately gathered together, wanting to fight a bloody way to break through. However, in front of the iron wall formation of the 18th Cavalry Regiment, no matter how much the Tiele cavalry stimulated their fighting spirit, they were completely inferior in terms of numbers, equipment, and combat effectiveness.
One by one, they rode forward to make a gap in the iron wall, but what awaited them was a sharp cavalry knife that cut them off their horses one by one.
When one after another Wei Su warriors fell in front of the iron wall, but they could not shake the iron wall in the slightest, the Tiele people finally despaired.
The old one-eyed swept the battlefield again, their hundred men had lost more than thirty horses, and lost more than thirty percent, his heart trembled, his mind was full of despair, he dropped the knife in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Fall, fall, we fall, spare life, we fall"
Guo Xiaoke's eyes swept across the battlefield, and when he saw that the Tiele people had finally dropped their weapons and begged to surrender, his face was satisfied. Such an auxiliary army, who was ambushed in an ambush battle five times its size, was able to hold out until more than 30% of the casualties before it began to collapse and surrender, which really underestimated the ferocity of these people. However, he didn't expect that in fact, the old one-eyed and other Tiele people were fierce and fierce, but the biggest reason why they could hold out for so long this time was not how brave they were, but that the attack of the eighteenth regiment was too fierce, and in just a short time, they had already killed thirty percent of the old one-eyed people, which made the Tiele people have no time to react. This rhythm is too fast and too fierce, so fierce that the old one-eyed feels as if the time has only passed for a moment, but the battle has already been won and defeated, and they died thirty percent in a blink of an eye, not three percent of the casualties, but three percent of the casualties, and the injured have not been counted.
"Spare your life, we have descended, we have descended." The old black man also dropped his big sword, and it was not possible to admit defeat or surrender, and there was no hope of escaping at all.
"Down, down, spare your life!"
Guo Xiaoke was very satisfied with this result, laughed for a while, and nodded, "Those who abandon their weapons and surrender will not die!" (To be continued......)
