The massacre of the Dragoons

The cold for half a year is unbearable even for the Tuyuhun people.

As a result, every guard in the camp lit a bonfire at night.

The soldiers on duty in Tuyuhun fell asleep around the bonfire.

The prolonged tranquility made their vigilance extremely low.

Even the leading generals in the army will not say much when they see this situation.

The role of these sentry posts is more of a psychological comfort.

The effect is to make their sleep sweeter.

The operation of the dragoons continued in the second half of the night.

The difference is that this time the entire dragoon army is fully involved in the operation.

They had already quietly lurked in the rear of the enemy in broad daylight.

The goal is the stables located here.

There is also a barn for cattle and sheep next to the stables, which is far away from the barracks and is downwind.

In this way, the unpleasant smell inside will not drift into the barracks with the wind.

Each warrior carried several bales of hay on his back.

They did not hesitate to shoot their bows and arrows when they approached the enemy's outpost.

It was too far from the camp for anyone to hear the screams of these men before they died.

After killing the sentry, the warriors immediately infiltrated the stables.

Then he began to tie a bundle of straw to the tail of each horse.

After doing this, the warriors opened the stables.

Then the firewood from the campfire was used to start lighting the hay.

The burning hay frightened all the horses.

Then, under the slight guidance of the soldiers, he ran out of the main camp.

The chaotic sound of horses and the movement of horses as they galloped quickly confused the entire camp.

However, when they arrived, they could only helplessly watch the smoke of the flames getting farther and farther away from the camp.

Liang Qu, the guard here, saw this situation and knew that something big was going to happen.

So he hurriedly gathered a large army and chased in the direction of the fleeing horses.

He knew that the enemy would definitely send someone to meet the horses.

Expecting to be able to fight the enemy to the death there.

As the famous general of Tuyuhun, Liang Quhu is well aware of the importance of these horses.

Therefore, he could not let these horses fall into the hands of the enemy under any circumstances.

However, while his ideas were not wrong at all, the enemies he faced were too cunning.

Soon after he led the men out of the camp, the camp behind him burst into flames.

This was done by the Liangzhou army of Qibi He Li.

They had been lurking in front of the camp, waiting for the other to leave and run out and set fire.

Liang Quhu hurriedly sent a few thousand people back to the camp in an attempt to keep his lair.

By this time he had already regretted that he should not have taken all the troops out in one go.

The prolonged comfort caused him to completely lose the alertness and cool judgment that he should have.

So that their nest is also facing huge losses.

However, this is just the beginning of the operation.

Su Lie knew very well that the enemy would definitely not give up these war horses easily.

So he took the warriors of the dragoon army and drove the war horses far away from the camp.

After the distance between the two sides was widened, Su Lie left more than a dozen people to take care of the war horse.

And he and the rest of the warriors were ready to give the pursuing enemy a head-on blow.

Liang Quhu himself also thought of this possibility.

Therefore, he kept the formation of the pursuit relatively intact.

In this way, once the enemy's cavalry rushes over, they can defend themselves with a tight formation.

However, Liang Quhu ignored an important issue.

That is, the Tuyuhun army does not have a shield at all.

They were all cavalry, and all of them, like the Don Army, did not like to carry shields in the way of fighting.

This situation naturally has little effect when fighting on horseback.

But now that the cavalry has become infantry, the situation is completely different.

When Su Lie led his soldiers to rush towards the Tuyuhun army, Liang Quhu made the army ready at the first time.

He thought that with the advantage of numbers, he would definitely be able to defend against the bow and arrow shooting of the Tang army.

As long as the Tang army has no arrows, they can counterattack the Tang army.

However, Liang Quhu soon realized that his idea was wrong.

This time the formation of the dragoons was very tight.

When they came within range of their bows and arrows, they shot their arrows almost simultaneously.

Thousands of arrows were concentrated in the same area.

Make it impossible for enemies in this area to be blocked.

The formation of the Tuyuhun army was like a piece of bread that had been bitten by someone, and a piece of it fell directly.

Before they could react, a second wave of arrows fell again.

The warriors of the Dragoons were constantly wandering and shooting outside the range of the enemy's bow and arrow.

This made it impossible for Tuyuhun's fighters to fight back.

Patches of Tuyuhun warriors were either seriously injured and fell to the ground or lost their lives amid screams of pain.

It didn't take long for the otherwise compact formation to start to get confused.

Liang Quhu himself also received two arrows, but fortunately he was not seriously injured because of the protection of the armor on his body.

He kept giving orders, despite his own pain, trying to maintain the full formation.

However, the arrows of the dragoons continued to fall from their heads as if they would never run out.

The large number of casualties made the Tuyuhun soldiers frightened.

The generals in the team were killed, wounded, and the rest of the people were no longer enough to stabilize the mood of the soldiers.

Soon, the formation, which had begun to loosen, ushered in a complete collapse.

Some of the Tuyuhun warriors couldn't suppress their fears and began to flee.

Some people took the lead and ran away, and others immediately began to follow.

As a result, the completely loose Tuyuhun army became a swarm of headless flies.

Some of them rushed towards the dragoons, trying to get closer and shoot back.

Others are just trying to run away and leave their backs to their enemies.

In such a situation, their casualties are even more serious.

Liang Quhu already felt despair.

Everyone was so focused on escaping that no one followed his orders.

By this time, the warriors of the Dragoons had basically stopped galloping on horseback.

They had enough time for aimed shooting.

This makes them significantly more effective at killing.

By the time the warriors of the Dragoon had shot all three of their quivers, there were less than 5,000 Tuyuhun left.

This man has become a complete lamb to the slaughter for the Dragoons.

They drew their swords and quickly charged at the fleeing enemy with their backs to them.

As the battle came to an end, Liang fell to the ground in humiliation.

He had an arrow stuck in each of his shoulders.

The scimitar in his hand was on the ground not far away, but he no longer had the ability to pick it up.

This was done by Su Lie on purpose, and there were more than a dozen Tuyuhun generals who were about the same treatment as him.
