Chapter 547: Step Complete
Under the sky, the goshawks overlook the fields, and herds of horses spread out under the vast canopy.
Arrows flew like locusts in the sky.
The battlefield of nearly 70,000 people, counting the ownerless war horses running in all directions, at a glance, almost all of them are fighting figures, war horses galloping, arrows crossing the air, people's screams, galloping hooves, and the screeching sound of weapons colliding intertwine the tragic picture of the battlefield.
The 20,000 cavalry of the Zodiac were almost scattered in the field, and were divided by the 40,000 Mongolian cavalry, almost pressing the other side to fight.
The strength of the 40,000 Mongolian cavalry is uneven, most of them are absorbed after capturing the corpses, and they have only experienced the battle of attacking the Zhulu Division, which is a few points weaker than the cavalry that has fought in the hands of the Iron Buddha, but who is the commander of them?
On the other hand, Shidao once hit the Danube River in the west.
Bringing the murderous Mongol set over is completely applicable to the Xijon people, who are also steppe cavalry.
It's not just as simple as changing a name, from the bloody massacre, so that these former Xirong tribesmen have gradually become what Su Butai wants.
Lead them to attack other tribes, gain combat experience, and adapt to the Mongol tactics of long-distance detours and rush operations.
Subutai wants to turn these tactics into the norm and engrave them on these Xirong steppe people, and become the symbol of Mongolia.
After that, the corpses of the central grassland were knocked down one by one, and the western part of the grassland was also controlled by him, and gradually, there were more and more grassland cavalry around him, and after several times the whole team, it should be the last force in the grassland, the 20,000 cavalry in the hands of the Iron Buddha launched the cruel law advocated by the grassland people.
Fittest!
After the reorganization of the Xirong cavalry, was renamed the Mongolian cavalry by Subutai, after explaining his battle essentials and requirements to the leaders of the tribes, he led his troops to the west, in the southeast of Tiele, at the junction with the grassland, intercepted the Iron Buddha of the returning Gang Division, and made a deterrent to the other side.
The Iron Buddha is also a grassland man who has been killed, and he has fought several battles with the Chinese generals over the years, and he is much stronger than he was back then.
Although the barbarian army of the Western Expedition was defeated this time, it was not his mistake in using troops, it was completely a difference in physical fitness, which led to an unfavorable battle situation.
When the 40,000 Mongolian cavalry turned into several units and came diagonally from the northeast and southeast, and the 20,000 Mongolian cavalry in the center approached him in an aggressive manner, he did not hesitate to give the order to fight.
However, the opponent's strength was not only numerical superiority, and soon after the first contact, Iron Buddha expected the defeat of this battle.
Under the arrows of the staggered sky, the vast Mongolian cavalry clusters spread across the field, constantly changing the queue, slowly operating with the tactics of roundabout, rushing, and interspersed back and forth.
Gradually, the scales on the battlefield tilted in favor of the Mongol cavalry.
Soon after the start of the war, the King of Tiele Kingdom had just returned from Yelan Kingdom for only two days, and he was busy announcing Su Chen's will, and he was also busy removing the title of king, sorting out the affairs of the Tiele Kingdom into a book, and handing it over to the Western Regions Protector established later.
Hearing that the Iron Buddha in the southeast was being blocked by the enemy, he hurriedly mobilized his only 12,000 men and hurried to the battlefield, sending scouts to find out who the enemy was.
However, when he heard that the other party was the general of the Xia Kingdom who was transferred to the Xirong Grassland by the Son of Heaven of Shangbang, he was suddenly a little stunned, and he didn't understand how the general of the Son of Heaven of the Xia Kingdom could intercept and kill the Iron Buddha.
However, by the time he figured it out, the Iron Buddha's army was already in the mire of defeat.
"Those who are unwilling to surrender, kill their bodies, cut off their heads, and make it difficult for their souls to return to heaven—"
To the southeast, the 40,000 Xirong cavalry, who had gradually mastered the Mongol tactics and adapted to the high-intensity interspersed battles, coerced the rout and rushed back to the Iron Buddha's main formation.
The command of Subutai in battle was, to a large extent, let these Xirong people, who had just become Mongol cavalry, experience the thrill of how to easily defeat a steppe cavalry with the same equipment.
They followed the orders of Subutai and constantly divided and routed a cavalry team of the Gang Clan, which was also beaten in a hurry by various extremely quick reaction methods.
These renamed Mongol cavalry became ruthless after they got into their hands.
Even if the compatriots in front of him are beaten and lose their armor and run away in embarrassment, they must chase and kill each other and stab them in the back.
After the formation of a rout, Subutai issued an unknown number of orders for a small number of cavalry to drive away.
The cavalry of the Zodiac Division, which had originally fled from the four fields, soon lost the opportunity to escape, and was driven towards the main formation of the Iron Buddha.
Under the sky, the rout army rushed to the main formation, and the Mongols circled and mounted and fired.
King Liugeng, who rushed to the battlefield, stood on the edge of the battlefield, looking at the scene in the distance in amazement, the rising Mongolian iron cavalry broke the reef like a sea tide, and swept the cavalry of the 5,000-strong army into the formation.
The sound of horses' hooves and screams swept over in a huge chaos—
The Iron Buddha galloped on horseback, wielding blades, fighting in the crowd, and the shouts of pursuit were getting closer and closer.
In his vision of return, a horse galloped out, it was the commander of the Mongolian cavalry, his honest but hideous face was stained with blood and broken flesh, killing mountains and seas of blood, galloping on horseback, waving scimitars, and speaking Mongolian words that he did not understand.
"Your head will be a sacrifice to the blue wolf and the white deer!"
The Iron Buddha also gritted his teeth and shouted, he held a blade, turned around the war horse, rushed up to the other party, and slashed out on the head!
On the opposite side of the field of vision, the war horses were staggered, and Su Butai stepped on the back of the horse and jumped into the air, and the big air flew up, and the moment it was blown away, there was a faint wolf howl behind him.
Woo!
The phantom of a blue wolf looking up to the sky and roaring was reflected in the eyes of the Iron Buddha, and his body suddenly felt a sense of trembling, and then, the blade in his hand flew into the air with a 'bang'.
Head-on, the scimitar slashes down angrily!
Burst!
The human head dragged the blood line to the sky, and the Iron Buddha, who had followed the Xia army for a long time, finally followed in the footsteps of the corpse chasing the father and son.
His head flipped and fell in the sky, and was caught out of thin air by Subutai, and he lifted it above his head in his hand, and let out a roar of rage in all directions.
"Xirong is dying out today, and Mongolia is rising!"
The chaos of the battle gradually stopped, and countless chasing and being chased looked at this side, and the cavalry of the Sui Clan, who was still resisting, dropped their weapons, dismounted and knelt on the ground.
At the end of November, the last Xirong Wan cavalry commander disappeared, and the Xirong steppe was completely annexed, and the name was changed to the Mongolian steppe.
After the battle in the southeast of Tiele Country, the news was delivered to Yelan Country at the foot of the Great Snow Mountain as quickly as possible, and Su Chen, who had been here for more than a month, threw the news aside after reading the information sent, and continued to improve the statute of the Western Regions Protectorate with Hou Junji and Ge Shuhan, who came over.
Before you return, take care of this side of the matter.
At this time, the three moves that the entire Western Regions had fallen in person could be regarded as all of them.
