Chapter 247
Reverse breakout.
Baili Wuji's words made Guo Ting's eyes strange for the four of them.
It is true that it may be possible to break through to the west, but after the new army breaks through, it will move further away from the Central Plains and penetrate deeper into the Western Regions.
Since then, the new army has run out of supplies, and the new army, with more than 7,000 people, has no supplies, and the breakthrough is just a matter of survival, nothing more.
Baili Wuji saw the eyes of the four people and knew what they were thinking.
Baili Wuji hurriedly ordered the guards to spread out the map, pointed to the map and said: "Now the new army is located in the middle of Weizhou and Luqu, and it will only take two hours to fight back at Luqu at most, these tribal coalition forces are huge in number and slow in dispatch, so they will not move as fast as the new army, as long as they can quickly defeat the western corner of the Luo Division, the new army will definitely be able to break through to the west." Once the new army successfully broke through, those coalition forces did not know that me, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, existed, and would not pay attention to this small lone army, but united to attack the Central Plains. In this way, the new army will be able to go northwest to Shanzhou, which is the capital of Jiaoguoluo, and I estimate that its total strength is only 30,000, and the 30,000 main forces of the first two battles in Jiaoguoluo have only the remnants of Luqu left, and the problem of occupying Shanzhou is not big, so that the new army can get food supplies and maintain a certain combat effectiveness. As for the future, time is pressed now, and we will discuss it on the road. ”
When Guo Tingwei heard this, a glimmer of hope was also ignited in his heart, there is a way to live, and people don't want to die after all.
The main thing is that they believe in Baili Mowgli, because Baili Mowgli has always led them to victory.
So, the new army quickly turned around and killed Luqu back.
The Ming army set out from Shu to reinforce three troops of Baili Wuji.
First, there was Han Jixun, who led the army in Wenzhou to the west. Advance in the direction of Wuzhou and reinforce Baili Wuji.
Later, Yunyang led the First Army from Victoria to the north, and Ma Jiyun from Wenzhou to Wuzhou to reinforce from the west.
Time. The density of troops at the junction of Tibet and Shu reached an incredible level.
Han Jixun's troops, who were the first to set out for reinforcements, discovered the traces of the Uighur army just as the Uighur army was chasing the new army.
An attack was then launched against the Uighur army.
This is also the most likely time in this war that the new army will be rescued from the encirclement, but the underdevelopment of communications has caused the two armies to pass by, which cannot be said to be regrettable.
When Baili Wuji ordered the new army to fight back at Luqu. Han Jixun ordered an attack on the Uighur army.
This inadvertently helped the Forces nouvelles quickly break away from the Uighur pursuit.
Faced with the enemy on their backs, the Uighurs abandoned the pursuit of the new army and turned back to fight Han Jixun.
30,000 against 26,000. The number of people in this game is equal, but the strength is very different.
Han Jixun's 26,000 Ming army was adapted from the Shu army, and he was not even fully equipped with grenades.
There were only 8,000 cavalry, while the Uighur army's 30,000 soldiers were all cavalry.
The difference in strength can be imagined.
It was a bitter hand-to-hand fight. Han Jixun is worthy of a generation of wise generals.
The scouts spotted the Uighurs. He ordered 8,000 cavalry to take the lead in the charge.
At this time, the Ming army had a certain advantage, because the Uighur cavalry still had their backs to the Ming army.
And when the hoofs of the Ming cavalry reverberated in the ears of the Uighur army.
In a hurry, the Uighurs were thrown into disarray.
But after all, the number of cavalry was several times that of the Ming army.
The sound of the hoofs of the 8,000 cavalry also gave the Uighurs some opportunity to react.
After easily killing thousands of Uighur cavalry, the situation on the battlefield was gradually turned around.
Gradually, the cavalry of the 8,000 Ming Army began to be unable to resist.
From one for three, one for two, one for one, and finally two for one.
Such a rate of battle losses caused the number of cavalry of the Ming army to decrease rapidly. The decrease in the number of people increased the ratio of enemies to friends on the battlefield, and the pressure on the remaining Ming soldiers increased.
Just a pillar of incense at a time. The Ming cavalry completely lost the battlefield advantage they had gained from the previous surprise attack from behind.
Bloody hand-to-hand combat continued, and the remaining 2,000 or so Ming troops were surrounded by Uighur troops.
The number of surviving Ming troops is still declining sharply.
At this time, Han Jixun's 18,000 infantry, which had just arrived on the battlefield, quickly completed the formation under Han Jixun's order, and 10,000 infantry were in front of the crossbowmen.
It was only then that the Uighurs were terrified, and they had realized that a catastrophe was coming.
They were not mistaken, but they could not turn back quickly, and the remaining Ming cavalry dragged them to death.
The cavalry of the Ming army thought that reinforcements were coming, and the hope of survival was ignited in their hearts, in this world, if they could live, who would really want to die?
Han Jixun waved his hand without a trace of expression.
Tens of thousands of bows and arrows were scattered wave after wave towards the cavalry of the two armies in battle.
Whether it was the Uighur army or the Ming army, these cavalry were all light cavalry, and the Uighur army did not even have light armor on their bodies, but Han Jixun's cavalry was not reorganized into the Black Flag Army, and the equipment was still the equipment of the original Shu army, and they were wearing light armor.
But what's the use?
Indiscriminate bows and arrows snatch the lives of anyone on the battlefield like locusts.
Arrows are an absolute nemesis for hussars who stay in place and have no speed.
After only twelve volleys, there were very few people on the battlefield who were still on horseback, and they could breathe, and these people should really go and burn incense to worship their ancestors, but they didn't have a chance.
After twelve waves of arrows, Han Jixun immediately ordered 10,000 infantry to charge.
The remnants of the Uighur rear of several thousand cavalry were saved because they were out of range.
In the face of the charge of the Ming army's 10,000 infantry, the Uighur army's choice was a decisive battle.
Under the loud curses of the commander, thousands of Uighur cavalry began to countercharge the infantry.
Everyone knows that the charge of thousands of cavalry against 10,000 infantry is to pick up leaks, and the Uighur army commander is by no means a fool, so how can such an opportunity to win the capital be lost.
The two armies collided quickly in front of corpses strewn with arrows.
In fact, few people actually collided.
Because the infantry of the Ming army had no knife in their hands except shields, and there was only one grenade in the hand that was supposed to hold the knife, which was detonated and thrown with the teeth at the corner of the mouth at the moment of approaching.
Then, only the Ming soldiers who were not knocked into the air quickly squatted on the spot, shrunk into a ball, and blocked them in front of them with shields.
This method is actually very poor, because the Ming soldiers will be knocked away by the oncoming cavalry, and even trampled on the spot, but the worst is better than nothing, as long as it is not immediately trampled to death, the shield can always resist some weight, and the crasher is because of the cushion of the shield, just a broken arm and a broken leg, after all, there is hope to save his life.
What made Han Jixun think of using this method was because the enemy's cavalry numbered only a few thousand, and in this instant, one collision, 10,000 infantry could always save half of it. (To be continued......)
