Section 78 Chill 3
"If there is a deserter, there will be a second or a third, no matter whether there is a team in the rear of the barbarian army, if there is no killer, the collapse of the barbarian army is just around the corner!
"Whew!" the soldiers who gave the order then rode away.
Not long after, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded on the left flank of the Sui army.
Li Qing saw it very clearly, his own disciple rushed to the front first, and a long lance with a cold light flashed directly at the cavalry commander on the right flank of the barbarian army.
It's not that Lin Xiao hasn't seen the scene of thousands of horses galloping, but today's charge of tens of thousands of cavalry has brought a completely different feeling, not to mention the sound of hundreds of thousands of war horses with hooves on the hooves of smashing the earth, that is, the iron-blooded evil qi that suddenly rolled up like wolf smoke seen in the Qi Hope Technique, it was enough to shock Lin Xiao, it seemed that it had really formed a majestic beast, roaring wantonly, dancing with claws and fangs, with the momentum to tear everything in front of him to pieces.
The barbarian cavalry on the opposite side also discovered the movement of the Sui army, and without waiting for the order of the central commander of the barbarian army, the barbarian cavalry commander on this side issued an order to hedge, which was more than double the number of cavalry on the opposite side, but although the scattered formation of the barbarian army looked spectacular, it did not collude and combine the evil spirit of the generals like the Sui army to form a whole, so the result was that before the contact of the iron cavalry of the two sides, the iron-blooded evil qi above the barbarian camp was swept away and scattered by the Sui army, and began to be extinguished.
When two armies are engaged, if the formation above one side fails to form and is broken up by the other side, then there is only one result, and there is no other change: defeat, and there is no way to control it.
Why many ancient wars, after one side wins, does not chase exhaustively, it is not that the victor is unable to pursue, but that although the enemy is defeated, the overall army is not scattered, and once the own side lets go of the pursuit of soldiers and horses, it will be because of the dispersion of the army, the enemy has the opportunity to kill a horse pistol, resulting in victory and defeat, or victory is defeated, so when the enemy is defeated and retreats, he does not pursue with all his strength, because his own commander can find this.
If you find that the opponent's formation is scattered, and most importantly, the momentum is scattered, then your own commander will not immediately order his subordinates to pursue with all their might, and he will not be a qualified commander - of course, there is no such dynasty in history: this is the case with my Great Song Dynasty. But in fact, it is not that the main general of the Song army is unwilling to pursue, but that the legs of the infantry are too short, where can they run past a four-legged war horse.
Therefore, the Song army was very embarrassed when fighting, and it could not catch up, and there was no result; but if it was the turn of the Song army to fight, it would be even more doomed, and even the remnants of the army had no chance of escaping, because they still couldn't outrun the four legs of others. In the first battle of Haoshuichuan, although there was an ambush by the Western Xia army, there were tens of thousands of troop losses, only more than 1,000 people broke out of the encirclement, and the main general Ren Fu and dozens of generals died together, which can be described as a typical defeat and did not even have a chance to escape (there can be thousands of people to escape, or thanks to the fact that Haoshuichuan belongs to the mountainous area, which is not conducive to the cavalry of Western Xia)!
But now after all, it is not the situation that the later dynasty lost the horse-producing land, although the cavalry of the Sui army is small, but occupies the small (relative to the entire grassland) grassland horse farm in the Hetao area, even if the number of horses suitable for cavalry combat is not as good as the grassland barbarians, but the equipment and combat skills of the cavalry are not weak, on the contrary, inheriting the style of the Han cavalry fighting against the barbarians in the era of the Han Empire, although it can not do the results of the heyday of the Han Empire with "one Han and five Hu", but it is still possible to do one enemy and three.
Morale, evil spirit, equipment, combat skills and consistent momentum suppression, coupled with Li Qing's hideous mask has been well known to the barbarian soldiers, the charge of the 20,000 Sui cavalry has created the momentum of hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and the barbarian cavalry who urged the horse to intercept in front of him has not yet approached, and has already begun to disperse - not all barbarian cavalry have the iron-blooded spirit of seeing death as home, and dare to fight against the heavy cavalry of the Sui army.
Li Qing took the lead, the lance took the starting point of a little blood-colored halo, the wild horse king also tore left and right, one person and one horse broke into the barbarian cavalry camp, there was no one enemy, the waves cracked everywhere they went, and even the barbarian cavalry in the distance only saw the figure of Li Qing's mask with a blind eye, and fled from the wind, the result was that the 50,000 barbarian cavalry only insisted on a pillar of incense, and they could no longer maintain the original formation, and a large number of barbarian cavalry began to flee in the direction of the middle army and the rear army.
Li Qing has no experience in big battles, but it doesn't mean that there are no veterans of the Li family who have participated in many wars around him, in order for Li Qing to participate in the war and not fall into a heavy siege, Li Hu specially sent Li Qing, the veteran general who guarded his Chinese army, that is, Uncle Li, the strong man of the village head of Wulongyan that Lin Xiao was familiar with, to Li Qing.
Just when Li Qing was forgetting to fight, the veteran came behind Li Qing and roared loudly to tell Li Qing the direction of his next attack, if it weren't for Lin Xiao engraved a clear heart and concentration talisman in his mask, maybe Li Qing would really fall into this wanton killing mood and couldn't wake up, then Uncle Li's roar behind him might have to hit Li Qing.
Of course, this kind of thing will not happen, although Li Qing has a strong killing method and a firm will, but Li Qing, who is in battle for the first time, is also bitter in his mouth, and his stomach is churning for a while, this is also Li Qing's background in Jiangmen, the old man in the family has long expected this situation, and Lin Xiao also played with the help of this battle to exercise Li Qing's mind, and gave Li Qing a pure heart pill in advance, otherwise Li Qing would have vomited everything he could vomit clean.
Hearing Uncle Li's roar behind him, Li Qing also knew that this was not the time for him to ease his discomfort, although he was a woman, but at this time it was a battlefield, if he couldn't defeat the barbarian right-wing cavalry in time according to his father's military order, and crush the barbarian army, then his father would not give him any face, although he would not be able to march to himself, but a meal must be indispensable - several of his adult brothers, but they were beaten by their father, and many times Li Qing went up to plead for his brothers.
A little hesitant, Li Qing turned his horse's head, and once again urged the Wild Horse King to think about the barbarian rout chasing - before the barbarian cavalry began to rout and flee, he had been killed by Li Qing in fear, even if Li Qing stopped his horse and did not move, no barbarian who was proud of his martial arts dared to rush up to fight Li Qing, so there was an empty field more than ten zhang around Li Qing, which was the reason why Uncle Li could easily come to Li Qing's horse, and it was also the reason why Li Qing was able to increase his speed immediately after urging the Wild Horse King again.
The speed of the wild horse king itself is fast enough, far exceeding the mounts of ordinary generals, and the war horses of ordinary cavalry are even worse, Li Qing led the team to attack again, and soon caught up with the tail of the barbarian cavalry.
This time it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, the barbarian cavalry found that Li Qing, the killing god, was coming, and then saw that there were countless people around him, and immediately moved his mind, and waved the scimitar, straight knife, mace and other weapons in his hand to the original robe, nothing else, these people all had the idea of "dead friends do not die poor road", so the battle between the barbarian cavalry broke out, which also increased the chaos on the right wing of the barbarians, and quickly brought the chaos to the central camp of the barbarian army.
The central camp of the barbarian army was composed of soldiers who gave up their war horses in order to confront the infantry of the Sui army, and they themselves were under strong pressure from the Sui army's infantry swords and shield soldiers, and they had fallen from a stalemate to a gradual retreat, and even the rear of the Chinese camp had already had a scuffle between their own camps, and their morale had fallen into a trough.
The rapid collapse of the right wing cavalry camp gave the barbarian army a hard blow, the most troublesome thing is that at this time, the leading general of the barbarian army just went to the rear of the army to suppress the chaos, and was not in the command position, so no one could carry out the next command, and the right wing cavalry collapsed too quickly, and did not give the Chinese army time to find the commander to ask for instructions, so the cavalry of the right wing retreated straight into the camp of the barbarian army.
Great chaos. Chaos!
The barbarian army is in chaos!
The consequences of the commander's absence from his position were finally exposed. Tens of thousands of barbarian Chinese troops who could still maintain their formation, there was no longer a formation at this time, and the leaders of the barbarian tribes gathered together did not dare to continue to stay in the Chinese army at this time, and they all returned to their small squares with their cronies before the chaotic army rushed over, and were ready to retreat and flee at any time - the situation at this time is no longer the time to hold on, or retreat with their whole body, as for returning to the camp, these leaders are not fools, Lin Xiao and the shaman wizards in the camp, others don't understand, can these tribal leaders not understand?
If nothing else, let's just say that the black gas that seems to protect the safety of the camp has never taken a step beyond the thunder pool, which is enough to explain the problem, you must know that before the war, the commander of the barbarian army personally invited the shaman to demonstrate the black smoke to the tribal leaders~~ That is, the power of the Gu worm, which is the trump card used to attack the Sui army's camp! But now?
Besides, even if they are still fleeing in the direction of the big camp, will they not be attacked by the black smoke Gu worms? No tribal leader dares to think like this, so the only choice is to take advantage of the fact that the left flank of the barbarian army has not been defeated, quickly retreat from the left flank, and return directly to the outside of the Saiwai, as for the main army that follows up in the rear of the barbarian army, hehe, if he loses his division and abandons his armor, he can only become cannon fodder for the army, and no leader here is willing to be cannon fodder.
Even if even the barbarian army is also defeated, maybe these small tribes that have retained their vitality can still stage a big counterattack and let their small tribes swallow up the big tribes that they didn't dare to peep into!
