Chapter 493: The Chase
"Second brother, the sand and dust in the Western Regions is really big, it's only been half a day, and we're all about to become natives." When Zhang Wu was galloping on horseback, he and Guan Wei beside him were also chatting about the environment of the Western Regions.
"General Zhang doesn't know, this kind of sand and dust is small, if you catch up with the black sandstorm, it will be called terrifying, not to mention a few people, even tens of thousands of troops, will be buried in the blink of an eye!" Xing Tian is more familiar with the local environment because he has been working in the Western Regions all the year round, so Ma Yue asked him to accompany Guan Wei and Zhang Wu's army, and at the same time, he and Guo Jia went deep behind enemy lines, which can be regarded as a better guide.
"Yes, the power of heaven is unpredictable, and when manpower is exhausted, I think back then, Yuanjun... Oh, when the Holy Lord exterminated the Red Turban Army, he also made good use of the land, so that he could win more with less, and the big thief was outside Gyeonggi!" Guan Wei couldn't help but sigh.
"General Xing, I wonder what you think about this battle?" Guan Wei turned to look at Xing Tian behind him,
"How does the general want to use the environment of the Western Regions to win this battle?" Xing Tian asked,
"Yes, it is a combat method that the Holy Lord has always admired to reduce the strength of our army and destroy the enemy's vital force to the greatest extent, but it is necessary to make good use of external forces and reduce the casualties of our army. Guan Wei said solemnly.
"Although there are many barren lands in the Western Regions, many of them mutate with the time of day to form a suddenness, and most of the locals such as us are difficult to fathom, and it is difficult to use them!" Xing Tian shook his head and said with emotion,
Inadvertently, Guan Wei has gradually matured, from the original single-handedly fierce man, slowly turned to the level of strategy, which may also be related to his previous failures, the so-called eating a trench and growing a wisdom, especially between life and death, can burst out of great wisdom, it is not surprising that Guan Wei has made this progress.
The army marched dozens of miles and came to an oasis place, the scouts in front had already inquired, this oasis was not dangerous, and there was a small puddle in which a group of small fish were still swimming around, sometimes applying a few bubbles to the surface of the water, looking curiously at these strange faces outside.
"Third brother, General Xing, judging from the signs along the way, Ah Ya should have evacuated in a hurry, there are a lot of cattle, sheep and cooking utensils scattered along the way, and the stove here is still warm, and it seems that it is not far from them." Guan Wei analyzed,
"Yes, General Guan, these broken stoves look like they were deliberately damaged before they had time to move them, our army is in full swing, are you in a hurry to chase them?" Xing Tian asked,
"I think so too, second brother, these days, all the way down, it's so boring, so let me Lao Zhang be the pioneer and kill them personally. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "As soon as I heard that I was going to fight, Zhang Wu immediately came to the spirit.
"You, still have this stinky temper," Guan Wei shook his head with a smile, and continued: "I mean, General Xing is more familiar with this place, this battle, General Xing is the vanguard, leading 20,000 light cavalry, fast pursuit, you and my army are advancing in the rear, waiting to kill the Chinese army in the Asia-Pacific region, our Chinese army is also slowly arriving, the two armies work together, it should be a safe way."
"Okay, that's it. Zhang Wu said excitedly,
"The last general will lead the light cavalry to pursue!" Xing Tian arched his hand,
"The general must be careful, soldiers, murder weapons, even if there is a large army to defend the back, do not take it lightly, General Xu has been ambushed before!" Guan Wei advised
"The last general obeys!" Xing Tian turned around and went to prepare.
"Run, Xiliang Army is catching up!" A mixed army of about 5,000 cavalry was being chased and killed by Xing Tian's 20,000 cavalry, only to see the front running slowly, not taking a step, was cut to the ground, blood spurted out, not yet dead, was trampled by the galloping war horse and turned into a pulp, the Xiliang army screamed and killed the past, a round of charge, the infantry of the 5,000 people killed seven, seven, eight, eight, those scattered cavalry did not look good, did not love to fight, patted the horse and ran, Xing Tian asked the adjutant to take 5,000 people to clear the remaining enemy infantry, and he took the others to chase those cavalry。
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," the cavalry chased the cavalry, one side wanted to run, the other side chased, and the knives and guns were completely useless, so both sides were greeted by arrows, you once, I said.
Xing Tian was very annoyed by the chase, although his strength was several times that of the enemy, but because he was chasing, the enemy was running, and the arrows were shot over, when he was about to shoot the enemy, he didn't have much strength, and on his side, he was facing the enemy's arrows, but he was injured a lot, and he chased down all the way, Xing Tian was more and more annoyed the more he chased, and he couldn't wait to tear the enemy in front of him in half.
This is indeed no wonder Xing Tian, in the history of our Celestial Empire, the population of the northern nomads has always been very small, and they have repeatedly harassed the borders, so why does the government always teach a lesson and do things hastily? The main reason is that the territory outside the Saiwai is vast, although there are few enemies, but they can run, and once they run, if you chase, like the dilemma that Xing Tian is facing now, if you continue to chase, the fat ones can drag you thin, and the thin ones can be dragged down. A great military strategist of later generations learned from this experience, and when his own side was still very weak, he ran and fought at the same time, or called guerrilla, and finally defeated the enemy's army of millions.
Just when Xing Tian was about to give up, there was a dust in front, Xing Tian was in a row, not good, there were enemy reinforcements, Xing Tian knew that his own people and horses were behind him, and the people who appeared in front of him were nine times out of ten Ah Ya Ya people, therefore, Xing Tian greeted him, everyone stopped, and looked at it from a distance, sure enough, it was a team of 10,000 cavalry of Ah Ya Ya, only to see the fleeing cavalry running in front of the reinforcement generals, and after a meal of Ula Ula's complaint, he saw two cavalry teams, combined in one place, and killed Xing Tian and them.
"Damn, withdraw!" Xing Tian scolded, lifted the reins of the horse, and ran back with his subordinates,
"Whoosh", the sound of arrows flying is endless, and the two larger cavalry started a chase again, but this time it was Xing Tian who ran, and it was Ah Ya who was chasing, Xing Tian was running, and he was smiling, hehe, feng shui takes turns, let you also taste the feeling of chasing people! Sometimes think about it, this feeling of being chased by someone is quite good!
However, the good times did not last long, and the adjutant on the side added to him: "General, our army has already shot all the arrows! Now they are chasing and shooting, and there are heavy casualties!"
"Oh my day, it doesn't make fun to play. Xing Tian's foul words burst out, and his head was big,
The back is still "swishing" and shooting, it can be seen that the cavalry in the back are very excited, and it is estimated that they have also suffered from the abuse suffered by Xing Tian and them chasing people before.
If you don't run away, Xing Tianxin will be a cross, give them a live target, it's better to go back and kill them, anyway, they will have thousands of people, who will kill whom, this has to be tried to know.
Xing Tian waved his hand, and a string of horses roared, and the brigade was divided into two and scattered to both sides, because the chase was urgent, and the pursuers who were shooting behind had not yet reacted, so they chased to the front, and they could no longer use bows when they got close.
At this time, the cavalry of the two sides was inseparable, and no one noticed that the cavalry of the five thousand people approached, and when both sides looked blankly at the five thousand light cavalry who came over, one suddenly fell into the valley and the other rushed into the sky.
"Kill" , A Xiliang cavalry cut off the enemy's left arm, and roared to kill an enemy, before A-Asia's people and Xing Tian They have been killing for most of the day, and the physical consumption is very large, and the physical strength of the five thousand Xiliang cavalry is basically not consumed, and by the sprint of the war horse, it is a chisel to pierce, and the chisel is not a one-on-one to find an opponent to kill, but several rows of cavalry to kill in one direction, basically to the front of a person to slash, then beckoning the next one, the cavalry behind then beckoning again, just like that, one after another。。。 The cavalry of A-Asia's cavalry was originally physically exhausted, and now they say hello again, and a large number of them will fall down, many people are not cut off their horses by knives, and they have to eat milk when they strike iron, and they greet them one after another, and many cavalrymen are physically exhausted, and they fall under the horse after being knocked off by the saber. And the end of falling off the horse was very tragic, and they were greeted without swords and guns, and became horses' hooves...
Xing Tian was very happy, watching about three thousand or so A-Asia cavalry flee in a hurry, he didn't let people chase him, at this moment his arms were numb, and his hand holding the knife was a little trembling, of course, this was not a fright, it was a manifestation of physical exhaustion, and he no longer had the strength to chase those people at this time. After counting the casualties, Xing Tian was still a little surprised, although the enemy had fewer troops than himself on two occasions, and they were on the run, he lost nearly 6,000 men and horses in this battle, and many were wounded, although it was enough to destroy more than 10,000 troops of the enemy, but this loss was still too great!
This is a real injury to the enemy of 1,000, self-damage of 800, Xing Tian was originally in a good mood for a big victory, but because of such a high battle loss, he fell down.
