Chapter 557: Li Guang's Arrow
The current situation of the Mongolian arrow Jebe is very bad.
The Mongol Empire was overwhelmed in other battlefields, but in the face of the first princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was defeated in the Hetao and Monan battlefields.
Chu Zimou, the first prince of the Han Empire, united with the lords of Mo Nan and sent 350,000 troops to hunt the Jebe Legion!
The Jebe army temporarily mobilized two or three hundred thousand herdsmen, but as a result, all kinds of soldiers and horses were defeated one after another, and the Han army marched in parallel with three lines of soldiers and horses, with great momentum.
"Withdraw to Mobei!"
Jebe couldn't bear the pressure brought by Chutian and ordered his troops to retreat to Mobei.
The offensive of the Han army was not ordinarily huge, and the number of war horses and pack horses alone was as high as one million!
Fortunately, the grassland area of the lord's world is larger, otherwise, millions of horses, like a plague of locusts, will not grow a single grass wherever they go.
The Mongol Empire's sphere of influence in the Han Empire's frontier was shrinking rapidly!
"Jebel wants to run."
Chu Tian personally commanded the Middle Route Army and discovered Jebe's intentions.
Jebe was not a reckless man, and in the face of the Han Empire's large-scale attack, after the defeat of various generals, he had realized that he was not Chutian's opponent.
Jebe judged that he could not fight, and was organizing a retreat.
"Give the order to go down, all cavalry, and speed up the march. At the same time, the Iron Eagle scouts stepped up their reconnaissance to prevent Jebe's ambush plan. ”
Chu Tian knew that Jebe was good at luring enemies, and having the Iron Eagle scout to reconnoiter would greatly reduce the probability of being ambushed.
A Han cavalry as the vanguard, quickly rushing!
Flying General Li Guang came to Monan, led the cavalry to break through, and pursued the retreating Jebe!
In order to protect the herdsmen of the tribe, Jebe retreated to Mobei and personally led the cavalry to break the rear.
The Iron Eagle Scout and the Eagle of Tanmachi soared through the air, and both used the Eagle for reconnaissance and had almost the same vision.
When the flying general Li Guang discovered the Jebe army in the north, Jebe also found this lightly advanced Han cavalry.
"There are only a few thousand cavalry, and they dare to come and pursue...... Stand back for now, and I'll cut it off myself. ”
Jebel's eyes were sharp, like sharp blades.
The troops of 30,000 households followed Yu Zhebei to meet the cavalry of the Han Empire!
"General, take care!"
The rest of the captains and commanders said goodbye to Jebel.
The Han Empire's counterattack on the Hetao and Monan lines was ferocious, and the original layout of the Mongol Empire was completely destroyed, and all the pastures in the Hetao and Monan areas were recaptured.
Jebe's legions had to retreat.
Jebe held a horned bow in his hand and looked at the people who were heading north.
"Lord", the law of the jungle.
"Meet the Han army!"
Jebe rode his horse and galloped down the hillside, and the cavalry of three thousand households followed Jebe closely, and the speed was extremely fast, and he drove south to stop Li Guang!
Population was an extremely important resource for the Mongol Empire, and it could not be lost.
"General, find the Mongol cavalry!"
A scout cavalry quickly reported to the vanguard general Li Guang.
"Kill it!"
Li Guang was in high spirits, and finally, he caught up with the Jebe Army in the prairie!
"The number of Mongol cavalry is huge, and with our strength alone, I am afraid it will ......"
"What to fear!"
Li Guang led the Western Han cavalry to speed up and was eager to launch an attack on the Jebe army.
The Western Han Dynasty border cavalry was Li Guang's army, and under Li Guang's orders, the Iron Eagle Scouts were only a small force sent by Mulan to support Li Guang, and they could not stop Li Guang, so they had to pass the news to the Iron Eagle scouts of the rest of the cavalry units, requesting their respective cavalry units to reinforce Li Guang.
Li Guang took off a horned bow and galloped his horse, faster than the cavalry under his command, like a gust of wind sweeping across the meadow!
Ahead, a group of Mongol cavalry appeared, forming a black battle line, each holding a Mongol bow, or, armed with spears and sabers, for hand-to-hand combat.
"Whether to be a marquis or not, it depends on this battle!"
Li Guang clamped the horse's belly and took the initiative to assault the Jebe army!
"Destroy the enemy cavalry!"
Jebe waved his arm, and tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry rolled towards Li Guang's cavalry, both sides were constantly accelerating, using the impact generated by the galloping horses to give the other party a kill!
The bowstrings of the horned bows thundered, and thousands of sharp arrows shot out of the air, covering each other's formations!
One by one, the cavalry was hit by arrows, sharp arrows pierced through the chest or armor, and the cavalry fell from the galloping war horse and died!
Li Guang's eyes were staring at the Mongolian general and the divine arrow Jebe, both of whom were masters of arrows!
Almost at the same time, two extremely high-quality powerful bows shot out a stream of light at the same time, sweeping towards each other's main generals!
With a sonorous sound, the two arrows collided in the air, the arrow cluster rubbed and deformed, and the arrow shaft broke!
Whether it is Li Guang or Zhebei, they are all shocked in their hearts, the opponent's archery skills are indeed amazing.
Both sides each took out a few arrows from their quivers, and fired three arrows in a row, the sparks of the collision of gold and stone were scattered, and the deformed arrow clusters were splashed, and they inadvertently killed the Mongolian cavalry and the Han cavalry galloping on the battlefield!
The two cavalry approached quickly, and the cavalry in the front row, holding their spears, burst into the enemy formation and fought hand-to-hand in close combat!
The rear cavalry pulled out the ring head knife and slashed hard!
Li Guang set his eyes on Jebe, and the two masters of arrows shot at each other from thousands of troops, and the stray arrows shot each other's soldiers from time to time!
Jebe faced Li Guang with great difficulty.
In the Mongol Empire, Jebe's archery skills were already the highest, but he had no problem with Li Guang.
Li Guang's archery skills were also top in the Han Empire, but he was not necessarily the first.
One of the arrows swept in front of Jebel, shot one of Jebe's own soldiers, and took him away!
"Bad ......"
The Iron Eagle Scout was observing the entire battlefield, and although Li Guang's archery skills suppressed Jebe, he could not shoot Jebe, who was good at bows and arrows.
Victory or defeat on the battlefield depends not only on the individual strength of the generals, but also on the commander's ability, troops, troops, and terrain.
The commander of Jebe, who participated in the western expedition and conquered the city many times, was higher than Li Guang, and Li Guangsheng was brave in his own life, but his troops were suppressed by Jebe.
Jebe left 30,000 Mongol cavalry, of which 10,000 cavalry pinned Li Guang head-on, and 10,000 Mongol cavalry on the left and right flanks flanked him.
Jebe's ambush did not hide from the Eagle Scout.
If 30,000 cavalry encircled and attacked, Li Guang's 4,000 cavalry might be wiped out!
"General, retreat!"
Before the encirclement was formed, the Iron Eagle scouts informed Li Guang to retreat.
However, Li Guang wanted to shoot Jebe, but did not retreat, but rode his horse to kill Jebe, constantly shooting arrows along the way, and even pulled out the ring head knife to cut down the enemy cavalry in front of him!
On the left and right flanks, 10,000 Mongolian cavalry appeared, and the sand and dust were rolling, forming an encirclement of Li Guang's army!
"No matter how great your archery skills are, it is impossible to shoot 30,000 people!"
Seeing Li Guang's excellent archery skills, Jebe wanted to wipe out General Fei and reduce the pressure on the Mongol Empire in the future!
"Death!"
Li Guang's afterglow had already discovered the 20,000 Mongolian cavalry that came from the revolt, and for today's plan, the only way to capture the thief was to capture the king first, kill Jebe, and break the 30,000 Mongolian cavalry!
Such a tactic is extremely dangerous!
Li Guang bent his bow like a full moon, using his strongest bow skills, and in an instant, Li Guang became the protagonist of the battlefield, the king-level horn bow was tight, and the tough bow body was trembling violently.
The wind on the grassland is howling, and Li Guang's arrow takes the wind direction and wind speed into account!
An arrow was fired, and the Mongolian marksmen on the battlefield were also overshadowed in front of this arrow.
This is a nirvana arrow!
In order to block Li Guang's arrow, Jebel also shot a streamer!
However, Jebe's arrow was a point slower and failed to intercept it, but instead shot a Han cavalryman, directly piercing half of his body armor!
"Protect Jebel-sama!"
A captain with a shield in his hand, and a squad of cavalry, guarding the commander Jebe!
Li Guang's killer arrow pierced the cowhide shield in an instant, submerged into the body of the captain, and penetrated through his body!
The commander with more than 80 troops, equipped with a shield and armor, was shot mercilessly in front of Li Guang's full force arrow, and the gleam in his eyes receded, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
"Bald!"
Jebe's eyes were red, this commander of ten thousand people, but Temujin's son-in-law, a nobleman of the Mongol Empire, was actually killed by Li Guang with an arrow, and it was difficult for Jebe to explain to Temujin!
"Kill him!"
Jebe commanded 30,000 Mongol cavalry and launched a crazy revenge on Li Guang!
A captain of ten thousand years, especially if this captain was also Temujin's son-in-law, was killed by Li Guang, which had completely angered Jebe.
The Mongol cavalry from all directions killed, the spears pierced the armor of Li Guang's cavalry, and thousands of arrows were fired, Li Guang's cavalry fought with all their might, and people kept falling.
If Li Guang's arrow hit Jebe just now, maybe the battle would have ended.
Li Guang took out another arrow from the quiver and found that there were only two arrows left in the quiver.
The cavalry of the Han army fell into a bitter battle, and the cavalry around Li Guang became less and less, leaving only 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 cavalry. He didn't know that he had shot a high-ranking captain.
If Temujin had known that his son-in-law had been killed, he would have been furious.
It is conceivable that the Mongol cavalry, furious by the Great Khan, frantically killed Li Guang's cavalry, intending to kill Li Guang and plead guilty to the Great Khan, otherwise, it is difficult to imagine what kind of punishment Temujin would have.
Li Guang's cavalry was an elite class, killing thousands of enemy cavalry, and he himself suffered heavy casualties, only more than a thousand people remained!
"Han reinforcements are coming, please retreat quickly!"
When Jebe struggled to command the cavalry to kill Li Guang, Tanmachi used the war eagle to obtain the traces of Han reinforcements and reminded Jebe in time.
"Reinforcements from the Han Army?!"
Jebe looked to the south, and according to the information of Tanmachi, a cavalry was approaching at a great speed!
Li Guang's cavalry was temporarily transferred to the Wei Qing Legion by Chutian, and Wei Qing's cavalry was faster, galloping across the prairie, and came to support Li Guang as soon as possible!
20,000 Yulin cavalry galloped, forming a black wave on the prairie, and quickly swept towards the Jebel army!
Wei Qing's deputy general Gongsun Ao and fierce general Xue Wanche respectively held a ring-headed knife and a horse lance, and took the lead!
Once intercepted by the 20,000 Yulin cavalry, Jebe could not escape.
"Get out of here! In the future, I will take revenge! ”
Although Jebe wanted to kill Li Guang and avenge the bald, Wei Qing's cavalry was coming, and if he didn't retreat, the whole army would be wiped out by 30,000 Mongolian cavalry!
The Mongol cavalry, under the orders of Jebe, quickly retreated backwards, not caring about avenging the baldness.
Li Guang had already consumed dozens of arrows, and the arrows in the quiver were empty, so he simply pulled out the ring head knife and fought bloodily with the cavalry of his subordinates!
Li Guang, who had been staying in the rear for a long time, was holding a sullen breath in his chest, and finally broke out at this time, only Li Guang alone, shot a 10,000-commander, a thousand-commander, several centurions, and killed hundreds of ordinary cavalry, which made the Mongol Empire frightened!
Since this battle, the major Mongolian legions have been afraid of Li Guang, also known as General Fei!
"Don't want to run away!"
The fierce general Xue Wanche also did not fight on the front line for a long time, and at this time he had the opportunity to make military achievements, so he held up the horse lance, assaulted the Mongolian cavalry, and rampage!
Xue Wanche's war horse is a big Wanliang horse, extremely fast, standing out from the Yulin cavalry, and killing into the Mongolian cavalry that fell behind, the sharp horse lance rushed left and right, and killed dozens of enemy horsemen in one charge!
Wei Qing followed, providing bonuses for 20,000 Yulin cavalry, and even Li Guang's cavalry, and went all out to intercept and kill the Jebe Legion!
Even if you can't kill Jebe, hit him as hard as you can!
The Muhuali Legion has already suffered heavy losses, and if Jebe is hit hard, the pressure of the Mongol Empire on the Han Empire's border fortress will be greatly reduced!
When Wei Qing arrived, Jebe knew that he could not block Wei Qing, Li Guang, Xue Wanche and other generals from attacking together, and fled in embarrassment.
Wei Qing's Yulin Legion chased and fought fiercely all the way.
……
In the Monan steppe, Temujin led the Muhuali Legion, the Borhu Legion, and the Wanyan Chen Monk Legion to leave the Hetao and go north to Monan to support the Jebe Legion, and then returned to Mobei.
However, Temujin was a step slower......
The person in charge of Tanmachi was Mu Huali, one of the four cowardly Xue, Mu Huali learned that the Jebe army was defeated, losing tens of thousands of cavalry, and about 200,000 people were caught up by Wei Qing and captured, with a serious expression.
Chu Zi, the first prince of the Han Empire, was aggressive, divided his troops into two routes, and even leveled Hetao and Monan at the same time.
"Great Khan, I don't think it's necessary for us to go to Jebe's aid. Jebe has retreated to Mobei. ”
Muhuali reported this unfavorable report to the Great Khan Temujin.
Temujin's face sank like water.
Attacking the Hexi Corridor and nearly destroying the last two famous generals of the Han Empire, Temujin made the Han Empire tremble.
However, this time, the legions that supported Hetao and Mo Nan fell behind and were passive everywhere.
This was a defeat that Temujin could not afford.
The Mongol Empire shrank to Mobei, occupying only one Dunhuang county compared to before the expansion.
As for the Hetao Plain and the Monan Grassland, they were recovered by Chu Zimou.
"The Han Empire is indeed the most powerful opponent......"
Temujin looked up at the war eagle in the sky, and for the first time the desire to conquer arose in his heart.
Only by conquering the most powerful empire can he show his ability and be worthy of the title of world boss.
"Go and attack Monan Dragon City!"
Temujin divided a team of cavalry to protect the Hetao tribe to return to Mobei or go to the Western Regions, and personally led the troops to attack Monan Dragon City!
Chu Tianxing had 350,000 troops, severely damaged the Jebe army, and captured 200,000 herdsmen of the Mongol tribes.
"Capture Monan Dragon City!"
A group of cavalry went to attack the city set up by the Han army on the Monan steppe, and some of the soldiers and horses were Temujin's servants.
