Chapter 927 Martial Saint Guan Yu
"Ah Huinan, leave 20,000 soldiers to clean up the battlefield, collect military rations, and escort the prisoners of war back to the camp, and the others will follow me and continue to rush." Meng Xu, who originally had no confidence in the war, began to have confidence in his heart at this moment, maybe this time the Celestial Empire army will create a miracle again, and it may be possible to win more with less.
After saying that Guan Yu led the army and destroyed the Pishan ** battalion, he made a rapid advance and attacked the second line of defense of the Western Regions Alliance Army outside Bailongdui.
Guarding the second line of defense is not a nameless person, but Loulan Kingdom, one of the nine great powers in the Western Regions.
As early as the Celestial Empire's iron cavalry launched an attack on the Pishan Kingdom, they got the news, and then the commander of the Loulan Kingdom, Tu Qin, led an army of 60,000 to launch reinforcements.
A total of 150,000 troops are here, and sending 60,000 troops is also a hasty move, but the lord of Wei Tu really doesn't care, in his mind, as long as he can rush to the Pishan ** camp, when the time comes, the two sides will be united, and the dynasty will have no advantage, saying that it may not be possible to defeat them, but it is still certain to block the impact of the other party. S Qiang's main attack is the best time to counterattack.
Wei Tu Guozhu thought well, but not long after he led the army out of the camp, he ran into the Zhang family light cavalry with high morale, and then without waiting for him to make any defensive preparations, bursts of bows and arrows came from a distance.
Surprise attack, long-range shot, impact This is the six-character mantra of the attack of the Zhangjia light cavalry.
Experience has taught them that attacking in this way is invincible, at least not until now.
The two armies met on a narrow road, and the brave won, and the Zhangjia light cavalry with sharp spirit took the lead in attacking, and under no expectation at all, the front army of Loulan State was hit hard, and countless cavalry who rushed to the front fell to the ground, either killed by arrows, or trampled to death by the soldiers who came from behind.
There was chaos ahead, and after the continuous death of his companions in front of him, Loulan began to have soldiers retreating. After all, there is only one life, and the possibility of dying at this time is too great.
Fighting a war is about momentum, and fighting is who is more ruthless than whom.
Under the chaos of the previous army, the combat power of the 60,000 Loulan army could not be fully exerted at all, and under the continuous bows and arrows of the Zhangjia light cavalry, it began to retreat and disintegrate.
At this time, if the Chinese army's captain Tu Guozhu can judge the situation, abandon the front army, and start to stabilize a strong defensive formation from the Chinese army, then there is still a fight, after all, the Zhang family light cavalry is only 30,000 people, and the strength is insufficient.
However, Wei Tu didn't know the situation, although he came here, he still couldn't see the shadow of the Pishan ** team, but he didn't think about anything else, let alone imagined that the 40,000 Pishan ** team would be so vulnerable. He just thought that the Zhang family's light cavalry had broken through the line and came to him, and as long as he killed it, it might encircle the Celestial Empire's iron cavalry here in a combined force.
The lord of the country, who didn't know what the situation was ahead, gave an order that he regretted at this moment, that is, the Chinese army was advancing, but if he encountered a retreating soldier, he would be killed. Doesn't he believe that he can't defeat an enemy from afar even with the advantage of his own troops? And as long as the fighting spirit is full and the morale is improved, it is destined to repel the Celestial Empire Iron Cavalry.
Wei Tu was too confident, or because the communication was too underdeveloped at that time, he made a blind decision without fully understanding the situation on the battlefield, which was destined to pay a heavy price.
At the sound of an order, the soldiers of the Chinese army of Loulan Kingdom began to attack, forcing their comrades in the front army to turn their heads and fight with iron-blooded means and brutal killings. It's just that they have suffered a big loss and are afraid of being beaten, can they still exert their original strength?
The answer is obvious, under the attack of the bow and crossbow of the Zhang family's light cavalry, the soldiers of the Loulan front army who turned around and went still fell in a pool of blood.
The bow and crossbow cooperation of the Zhang family's light cavalry can be said to be the most powerful existence in the army of the Celestial Empire. If an ordinary bow and arrow can shoot at a range of three hundred and fifty paces, then theirs has a range of four hundred and fifty paces; If an ordinary bow and arrow can shoot through an object with a hardness of a quarter of a centimeter, then they can reach six or seven centimeters.
After the Zhangjia light cavalry has expanded its range or damage, the damage level of the bow and arrow attack has reached a terrifying feeling. It's like facing the front army of Loulan now, bursts of bows and crossbows are fired, and the other party is like ripe wheat being harvested on the ground in bursts.
Unable to retreat, unable to rush, some experienced veterans finally made a life-saving decision after discovering that the situation on the battlefield was beyond their expectations, that is, squatting on the ground and throwing down the weapons in their hands.
No one wants to die, but if there is a trace of life, they want to persevere, but under the premise of knowing that they will die if they go forward and backward, surrender is not a shameful thing.
For the unarmed Loulan surrendered soldiers who were squatting on the ground, the Zhang family light cavalry did not target them, and with the ability to shoot where to fight, they bypassed the huge front army of Loulan and placed the target in the middle of the Chinese army.
The poor Loulan Zhongjun didn't know what was going on at this moment, they just found out in a moment that the soldiers of the original front army were gone. The companions they were counting on as shields were gone, and they became the first targets to be shot.
It's just that after discovering the change in things, without waiting for them to continue to react to anything, the bows and arrows are overwhelming again. This time, in order to achieve the effect of killing the enemy with one blow, the Zhang family light cavalry is each with 200 arrows, which is said to be the limit. After all, they are light cavalry, and if they carry too much stuff, it will affect their speed and agility.
It's just 200 for one person, and 30,000 people is 600,000 bows and arrows, and such a huge number is still enough to inflict heavy damage on the enemy's army.
With a ** bow and arrow, the two sides did not fight, and the Loulan army was already scarred, and even the formation was chaotic, and it was impossible to work together up and down.
"Kill with me!" Guan Yu was holding the Green Dragon Glaive Sword in his hand at this moment, and shouted wildly again, and then rode his war horse forward quickly, pouring into the flock like a wolf.
The eldest brother Liu Bei was placed under house arrest, and the third brother Zhang Fei was killed by his subordinates, which made Guan Yu breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
It's just that Guan Yu knows better that he can't do anything yet, it is precisely because he still has the ability that he can keep the eldest brother under house arrest without worrying about food and clothing, and also because he is valued by Zhang Chao, and avenges the killing of the third brother, at least Zhang Da and Fan Qiang, who are murderers, were handed over to him and killed by him.
Whether it is the life of the eldest brother or the enmity of the third brother, it was all completed with the help of Zhang Chao, so Guan Yu can only obey and cooperate with Zhang Chao now.
Guan Yu is a very proud person, he doesn't want to owe anyone favors, just like when he took refuge in Cao Cao because he had no choice but to take refuge in history, it was the same as leaving after making great contributions after successively beheading Yan Liang and Zhu Wenchou.
Now Guan Yu also needs to make meritorious contributions, and the battlefield is when he performs at his best, he wants to tell everyone that he is worthy of such a sacrifice by Zhang Chao.
Under the leadership of Guan Yu, the other Zhang Jiajun also rushed under the leadership of the generals, and from a distance, the moving camp that was black and oppressive was like a vicious beast that could devour people, and people couldn't help but be afraid after seeing it.
Compared with the momentum of the Zhang family's light cavalry, the Loulan army had indeed been beaten in a daze, waiting for them to find that the camp of the former army was broken, and even the Chinese army had been severely damaged, and the army of the Celestial Empire had already entered their camp.
"It's amazing." Looking at the scene that happened in front of him, the Lord of the Nation was really frightened. He originally thought that he was more than twice as many troops as the other party, and if he really fought, even if he couldn't take advantage of it, he could still do it to contain them, so as long as he waited for his main force to arrive, plus the Pishan Kingdom counterattacked, the situation would become clear. But I never thought that in less than half an hour, the front army would completely collapse, and now even the Chinese army has been hit hard.
"Withdraw, the Chinese army resists, and the rear army retreats." I have to say that Wei Tu was still ruthless enough, and after discovering that the situation was unfavorable to him, he immediately cut through the mess, and would rather cut off his own arm, and retreated in time.
Wei Tu began to retreat, and at this moment, in his rear, before the 90,000 troops of Loulan could react, the black cavalry, who was also known for their speed, did appear one step ahead.
The black cavalry suddenly appeared in the rear of the Loulan army led by Wei Tu, and after learning of this situation, the lord of Wei Tu was not happy, but really a little scared.
If there is anything he fears the most in the Western Regions, he is afraid that the first to bear the brunt is the black cavalry.
The Black Cavalry seemed to appear suddenly, standing tall in the Western Regions with a powerful figure, and then became the public enemy of everyone.
For the black cavalry that suddenly appeared, and for the hostile forces that could threaten their security, the countries of the Western Regions naturally would not let it go lightly, and even some big countries even sent troops several times to exterminate them, but the idea was good, but the effect was not good. Because the cavalry is good at speed, they were finally escaped by others after several sieges. Slowly, after the Black Cavalry made its own name, everyone gradually acquiesced to the existence of the other party.
Just like this time, allowing the Black Cavalry to join the Western Regions Alliance is a state of tacit approval.
It's just that although you acquiesce in the existence of the other party, it does not mean that you completely believe in the other party. For this powerful force that suddenly appeared, in fact, many countries in the Western Regions are hostile and precautionary. Just like now, the black cavalry suddenly appeared in the rear, and Wei Tu began to be afraid.
