Chapter 490 Siege and Annihilation (II)

"Boom" "Hiss"

The sweaty BMW under the crotch of the photo swayed his head uneasily, and his four hooves kept stepping around.

Even the many Turkic generals around him were sweating nervously in the face of the boundless Xia army formation.

Although the Xia army opposite them one by one seemed to have no mind the Xia army's offensive, they knew that they were scared, they were afraid!

The Xia army finally stopped a thousand steps away from the Turkic army, and they were waiting for the Turkic movement.

Looking at the giant sword of cutting horses like a forest on the opposite side, as well as the light reflected by the iron armor of the Xia army's soldiers, and listening to the Xia army's trumpet like turning over the river and the sea, he knew that he couldn't wait like this any longer.

If he can't come up with appropriate countermeasures, I am afraid that the morale of these Turkic soldiers under his command will be further suppressed, and it will be even more unfavorable to his subsequent battles, and the pride of the Turkic royal family will also be aroused at this moment.

He is the eldest son of Yixiji Khan, a descendant of the wolf god, how could he be afraid of those Han people who are like two-legged sheep? Even if it is death, the Han people will pay the corresponding price.

Under the order of the photograph, 10,000 Turkic cavalry rushed out of the left flank, they were not in charge of the front army of the attack, but were ready to test the reality of the Xia army's military formation, after all, a country's army is strong and weak, so as to determine the specific position of the army's attack.

The Turkic general who led this cavalry was a member of the Turkic Khan Ashina family, and he was considered a cousin of the photograph, but because he was already a distant branch, he was not much different from ordinary generals, and he divided the 10,000 cavalry into three groups and swept through the Xia army respectively.

The two ironclad armies led by Luo Huan and Liu Wancheng charged at the front, and as a result, many unconvinced Turks were the first to rush here, trying to knock down the reputation of this army.

However, the Xia army was not just starting out, so it could only rely on the ironclad army to fight against the cavalry, and before these Turkic cavalry rushed up, countless rockets and crossbows flew out from behind the ironclad army to put down thousands of Turkic cavalry.

The two Turkic cavalry hurriedly fled back, and only one Turkic cavalry basically completed the task, and they tested the Eighth Infantry Army led by Han Wen on the right flank, because it was a newly established infantry army, so there was still a big deficiency in combat effectiveness and cooperation.

During the Turkic cavalry temptation, they showed some panic, and the long-range strike was very inadequate.

After seeing this, the picture finally showed a little smile, with this discovery, an order under the Turkic right wing of 30,000 cavalry pointed directly at the left flank of Wang Ze's army opposite, after attracting all the attention of the Xia army to the left flank of Wang Ze's army, the Turks suddenly launched a strong attack on the right flank of Wang Ze's army.

While taking pictures that he thought he had found the weakness of the Xia army and launched a powerful offensive against Wang Ze's right flank, he didn't notice that Wang Ze, who was far behind the army, suddenly showed a strange smile, otherwise he would definitely not attack so hastily.

The nearly 200,000 Turkic army under the command of the photo had already been surrounded and intercepted by the Xia army in front, and they were holding back their anger.

In the sound of the Turks' own horns, tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry rushed forward, they screamed and waved the long knives in their hands, and rushed to the Xia infantry on the right flank, as long as they could rush into the ranks of the Xia army's infantry army, the opposing cavalry had no way to support them.

A distance of 1,000 paces, that is, 1,500 meters in later generations, the cavalry charge was less than a minute, so soon the Turks rushed over.

When the 30,000 Turkic cavalry were only fifty paces away from the front of the Xia army, they could even see the panic and despair on the faces of the Xia soldiers on the opposite side, and even dozens of Xia soldiers scattered in panic, only to be cut down to the ground by the Xia army officers.

There is nothing more satisfying than seeing the despair of the enemy on the battlefield, as Temujin said, the greatest pleasure in life is 'to plunder people's property, to take their wives and daughters, and to ride their horses', which speaks to the nature of man after becoming a beast.

Just as these Turks were excited, they only heard a screech that made their scalps tingle, and they saw a puff of black smoke rising in the distance, followed by countless rockets flying over, along with hundreds of black objects.

Immediately after that, the Xia army on the opposite side also suddenly changed his previous panic, where was there any panicked look, it turned out that those were all pretended before, and most of them were holding hard crossbows and shooting crossbow arrows at the nearest Turkic people in an orderly manner.

The speed of the rockets was extremely fast, and before the Turks could react, at least a thousand rockets were fired into the Turkic ranks, and the hundreds of black things turned out to be explosive packs composed of black gunpowder.

Because the lethality of rockets and explosives packs is too great, their striking range is mainly Turkic cavalry 200 paces away from the Xia army's front army, and the Turks within 200 paces still have to rely on the Xia army's infantry to complete the attack, so that the crossbow arrows and thunderbolts can fully play their functions.

After 20 years of long-term use, the Thunderbolt has long been mature and thorough, and at present it is mainly used as a defense weapon and a short-range strike weapon, and the crossbow arrow is an essential weapon for the Xia army's infantry army, they are mainly responsible for attacking the Turks within 200 paces. LeTV

In this way, the Xia army mainly used rockets, explosives, thunderbolts, crossbow arrows and other weapons, and between 30 and 500 paces in front of the Xia army's formation, a wide multi-level strike fire belt was formed, and all the Turkic cavalry in this area were within the strike range.

This multi-level strike method of combining gunpowder weapons with cold weapons has become a relatively mature means of warfare after many actual combat tests, and the Turks, who lack long-range attack weapons, have no way to do this.

The Turks also had bows and arrows in their hands, but at this time it was impossible to dismount and use a foot bow, the range of the riding bow was only a few tens of paces, and it was too difficult for them to break through the fire blockade of 500 paces.

The 30,000 Turkic cavalry that launched the charge this time were basically the relatively powerful cavalry under the command of the photo, even if they were attacked so intensively, they were still unwilling to continue to charge, but under the attack of dense rockets and crossbow arrows, they continued to fall like the Daluo Department on the battlefield in Liaodong.

Of the 30,000 Turkic cavalry, there were only a few thousand cavalry who could rush through this firepower blockade line of hundreds of paces, and before these Turkic cavalry who rushed over could cut down any Xia soldiers, they were rushed up by the Xia army's infantry and hacked to death.

Seeing that the cavalry had suffered heavy losses in front of the Xia Army's infantry group, the photographer's face twitched, and he could only grit his teeth and send out more cavalry.

By now, he no longer has the luxury of being able to defeat the Xia army, he can only kill and injure these Xia troops as much as possible, and only by disrupting the Xia army's troop layout can he lead the army to escape, although he also knows that this hope is too slim.

Unconsciously, he invested seventy or eighty thousand cavalry, and at this time, less than 100,000 cavalry remained with him.

Wang Ze didn't want to delay any longer, he waved his hand and ordered the infantry to continue to advance slowly, further squeezing the living space of the Turks, while all the other cavalry were all thrown into the battlefield, gradually annihilating the more than 100,000 Turkic cavalry from the outside in.

After receiving Wang Ze's order, Yang Wu and Ji Xiang couldn't wait for a long time, but the two followed the pursuit but were photographed and Luo Hou lost a lot of soldiers in a counterattack, if it weren't for Pei Jie and Li Shun leading the army to support in time, I'm afraid they would not be here now.

To this day, Ji Xiang, Yang Wu and others still remember the corpses of Xia soldiers hanging in the woods along the way, which is a hatred they will never forget.

After receiving Wang Ze's order, the two and Pei Jie led a total of 120,000 cavalry under their command to charge from the northeast. That's it!

At the same time as Ji Xiang and the three launched a general attack, Yan Xiaowu, Lu Shishan, and Miao Jun also led more than 100,000 cavalry under their command to attack from the southeast.

Facing the medium-sized armored cavalry under the command of Ji Xiang and Yang Wu, the Turks, who were mainly light cavalry, could not resist it at all, so Zhu Luohou saw that the situation was not good and hurried, and led 50,000 cavalry under his command to block it.

Although the cavalry of the Turks was better, the cavalry of Ji Xiang and Yang Wusuo relied on more sophisticated armor and absolute superiority of troops to pressure the Turks to retreat step by step, and even after the arrival of Luo Hou, they could only retreat step by step.

Although the three cavalry armies on Yan Xiaowu's side are not armored cavalry, they are also armored and their combat effectiveness is not weak, so this way can only be resisted by the photographer himself.

After the two cavalry attracted the main Turkic force away, it led to the fact that the middle infantry army had no main Turkic force to resist, although the offensive of the backbone infantry army was very slow, but it penetrated directly into the Turkic central army with an unstoppable momentum.

I have to say that the Turks have a strong will to fight, and they still insist on fighting even if they are at an absolute disadvantage, of course, this is also related to the Xia army's policy of not wanting prisoners of war.

The battle between the two sides began in the morning and lasted until the afternoon, seeing that it was not early, the Xia army could still carry out a round battle with the advantage of troops, while the Turks could only insist on gritting their teeth and fighting because of their small numbers.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and the Turks thought that the Xia army would inevitably collect their troops and return to the camp before dark.

At this moment, with the 5,000 armored cavalry under the command of Cheng Hu as the arrow, the 30,000 cavalry of the Central Protector Army swooped out like a tiger descending from the mountain.

The armored cavalry led by Cheng Hu was like a hot knife cutting butter, and the Turkic cavalry scattered one after another, not to mention those Turkic soldiers, even the two brothers of Zhaotu and Chu Luohou quickly disappeared.

After not being able to find their leader, the Turks became even more confused, and they could still hold on hard, but at this time, they were even more chaotic, and they could not resist more than 200,000 Xia cavalry, and the scattered Turks could no longer form an effective defense, and were slaughtered like a group of scattered and fleeing lambs.

In the pursuit of the Xia army, a large number of Turkic cavalry fled into the difficult water and the end of the water in a panic, at this time the water was not too cool in summer, but the dense water on the river made it impossible for them to escape from the water.

Many Turkic soldiers were caught in fishing nets by the Xia army's sailors like fishing, and many more were shot alive in the water by Xia soldiers with crossbow arrows.

An Luo, who was storming Jiang Chuan's camp on the other side, was stunned when he suddenly saw the scene in front of him! When did the Turks become lambs to be slaughtered wantonly?
