Chapter 1081: Collapse
The Hui cavalry quickly became agitated, and in the face of the opponent's weak formation, their own superiority, and the incentive of heavy rewards, there was no need to give an order, no need to encourage, and the black cavalry could not wait to launch a charge.
Wang Yuan stood on horseback, quietly looking at the Hui cavalry charging from the opposite side, his eyes were indifferent and expressionless.
"Sixty paces away, crossbow arrows kill." Wang Yuan said in a deep voice.
The flag waved, and all the cavalrymen of the Guards battalion took out the repeating crossbows on their backs with their backs, pulled the strings, and the crossbow arrows were ready.
"Shoot!"
In the face of the rushing Hui cavalry, who shouted at the heavens from sixty or seventy paces away, the crossbow fired two rounds in a row in a very short time. None of these two rounds of crossbow arrows missed, and all of them were shot at the oncoming Hui cavalry. In the sound of people turning over their horses, hundreds of Hui cavalry fell off their horses, triggering a series of collisions and stampedes, and five or six hundred Hui cavalry were killed. But before this overwhelming charge, this small loss is nothing. The Hui cavalry whistled and rushed to within forty paces with their teeth and claws.
If you've seen the oncoming cavalry rushing on, you'll feel the pressure. Black-pressed opponents, shining scimitars, grinning menacing faces, blood-red eyes like wolf eyes, and deafening horses' hooves and shouts, plus smoke and air currents. It was a terrifying experience, and when one could stand still in such a situation, there were only two possibilities. One is that he is already scared silly. The second is that he has absolute confidence to meet all this.
The cavalry of the Shence Army in front of them belonged to the latter, and they sat on their horses immovable, not even showing their blades. Forty paces away, less than ten breaths, those frantic opponents will come in front of you. At this time, I don't show my blade yet, I'm afraid it's too late.
But the soldiers of the Divine Army did not. Instead of flashing their blades, they even hung their crossbow arrows on their backs, but after putting the crossbow arrows away, they had a big black radish in their hands.
The order flag behind Wang Yuan shook twice in the air. Then the cavalrymen of the Shence Army uniformly hooked the grenade in their hands with the little finger of their left hand. Bounce the round thick twine underneath. They have practiced this move I don't know how many times while equipping a grenade. From the day they played, each person was given a training session of the same weight**. And Zhao Qing and Tan Ping have already organized them to practice more than ten times. So at this moment, the soldiers are skillful and uniform.
"Poof!" The twine pulled, and the sound of the fuse igniting was faint but distinctly audible. A faint wisp of green smoke clenched the grenade from the hands of the guards. The bullet erupts from underneath.
"One, two." No one issued this order, which was a silent count in the hearts of the guards. Grenade. After the bullet ignites, it explodes after seven breaths. In order to explode when you land, count two times before throwing, throw it, and after flying in the air and landing, it will explode without reaction time. Although the soldiers did not actually throw, it was already a prescribed maneuver required for training.
Fifteen hundred smoking-emitting grenades. The bullets flew up in the air, and they spun around, drawing a wonderful arc, and landed in the crowd that was already about twenty paces away. It was the place where the Uighur cavalry was most concentrated.
"What is this? Are they stupid enough to throw a stone at someone? After every Hui cavalry saw this scene, this thought still flashed through their minds. But the next moment, those strange things smashed into the body and landed on the ground.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Dense and violent explosions rang out, and along the entire cross-section of the formation of the Hui cavalry, smoke, fire, dust, and mud rose all over the sky. The deafening explosion resounded all around, and everything on the Gobi Desert trembled slightly. The scorching wave of qi spread in all directions, and the guards of the Shence Army twenty paces away felt the scorching wave of qi rushing towards them, and their faces were hot. The crotch mount jumped and hissed in horror, but was restrained by the knight on the horse, and stamped its hooves uneasily.
A bloody thigh spun out of the smoke and flew out, landing five or six steps in front of Wang Yuan's horse, convulsing to himself. Wang Yuan's face was cold, his eyes didn't blink, he only stared at the place where the smoke and dust were rising.
The hot wind and smoke were quickly blown away by the wind, and when everything in front of him was presented in front of him, Gongsun Lan, who was covering his mouth and nose with his sleeves beside Wang Yuan, let out a soft exclamation: "My God! ”
There is nothing more than this sentence to express the situation in front of her, there are not many things that can make Gongsun Lan exclaim, but all this in front of her obviously makes her unable to hide her shock.
Twenty paces in front of him, the ground was full of rolling and wailing Hui cavalry and horses. A series of large pits on the ground seemed to have been smashed out by the heavenly stones falling from the sky, and around each pit were stumps and severed arms with scorched and bloody flesh. Within a radius of ten paces, there was not a single person standing. The more than 4,000 cavalry led by the entire Hui cavalry all fell in the explosion just now, and none of them were able to stand.
This was not enough, and the Hui cavalry charging in the rear also suffered a major impact. The blast of air and shrapnel overturned the horses and riders within a dozen paces and fell like a wall. And then there was a flurry of chaos. At the moment, I was in a state of confusion and confusion.
"Boom, boom." An explosion sounded on the west side of the mountain, three or four miles from another passageway. Obviously, Zhao Qing and Tan Ping also threw the first round of grenades. Play.
Wang Yuan's horse moved. When the flag was waved again, the cavalry of the Shence Army rode forward in unison. The speed was not fast, but it trotted forward a dozen steps. Then, a trace of green smoke began to rise from their hands again.
"One, two."
Whoosh! A grenade emitting green smoke. The bullet was thrown again, falling into the chaotic Hui cavalry formation twenty paces away.
The earth-shattering explosion sounded again, and the same nightmare was staged again, and the Hui cavalry, who were in a mess by the impact of the air wave, suffered even worse casualties this time. Severed limbs and stumps were thrown in all directions, and flesh and smoke filled the entire battlefield.
The Hui people were completely frightened. What kind of killing weapon is this, in this short instant, it has already caused devastating damage to more than 8,000 soldiers and horses, this is simply the devil's spell, the demon method that destroys all life.
In the smoke and dust, tens of thousands of Hui soldiers and horses in the rear were shocked to see that the formation of the Shence Army was advancing again, and they were shocked to think that this was the beginning of the next round of killing. Without any thought, they instinctively began to retreat. Everyone's thoughts were: run, or if they don't, they will be one of the rocks and severed arms in the next round of killing.
They turned their horses' heads and began to flee to the rear. This escape was like a landslide and an embankment collapsed, not only the formation collapsed, but also the people's hearts collapsed.
In the rear, Qizanali took in the two shocking explosions in front of him, and his mouth was blankly open, and he felt that his mouth was dry and he could not speak.
"General Qizanali, the soldiers and horses have been defeated, let's withdraw too, this battle ...... I can't fight. Someone next to him said tremblingly.
"yes, I can't fight, how can I fight this? This is fundamentally ...... There is no possibility of defeating them. Kizanali said dumbfoundedly.
"Then let's withdraw quickly, the soldiers and horses in front have been defeated." The people around him urged.
"What? Fall back? Qizanali suddenly came to his senses and shouted loudly, "Why retreat? Who gave the order? No return, no return! The Great Khan has decreed that he must not take a step back today. ”
The guards and generals beside him all kept their mouths shut and quietly looked at Qizanali.
With his muddy and blood-red eyes, Qizanali looked at the soldiers and horses in front of him who were fleeing like a landslide, watched them flee backwards without losing their armor, and saw that the enemy formation had organized a rapid pursuit formation, and finally lowered his hand weakly, and sighed: "That's it, retreat." But where can we retreat? ”
The collapse of the Hui soldiers and horses was expected, but they didn't know that in fact, the weapons of mass destruction in the hands of the pro-guard battalion had already been used up. There are less than 5,000 grenades in total. Bullets, two pieces per person for 1,500 people on Wang Yuan's side, and two pieces per person on Zhao Qing and Tan Ping's side are not enough. But that's enough. This is less than five thousand grenades. In the passages on the east and west sides, in a short tea time, more than 13,000 Hui cavalry were annihilated. This is enough to make the opponent completely collapse.
Hot Soldiers. The weapon is so domineering and crushing against cold weapons, although this is very unfair, but this is the truth. This is Wang Yuan's advantage. In fact, if it weren't for the lack of raw materials and the immaturity of technology, Wang Yuan would not have had to pay such a big casualty. But at present, the era of cold weapons is unlikely to disappear soon, because some things, even if they have money, are useless, what is needed is the popularization of raw materials and the maturity of the technological process. But even if there are limitations, the effect achieved is sufficient.
The other party fled, and the Shence army began to chase and kill. Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan led the personal guard cavalry and the cavalry led by Liu Jun began to ruthlessly pursue the collapsed opponent. In fact, there are nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses left in the Hui cavalry, but these 50,000 soldiers and horses have changed from wild wolves to lambs. After withstanding so many rounds of fierce resistance from the Shence Army, their last psychological defense line completely collapsed in the sound of explosions, and this collapse was completely uncontrollable.
To the north of the mountain, Guli Peiluo, who had been following the progress of the battle in the safety of the rear, received the news of the rout ahead. He couldn't believe his ears. In today's battle, he is ninety percent sure that he will defeat his opponent. Even when he continued to receive strange soldiers and horses such as cavalry, black slave soldiers, and so on, causing huge casualties to his own side, he did not feel that the battle would be lost. He believed in Qizanali, he believed in his Uighur warriors, and he believed in himself. In the past two years, from the leader of the small Hui tribe, he has become a male lord who sits on the prairie and steps into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, what does this mean? This shows that providence protects you. In countless desperate situations, he was able to reverse and win, which is that he is blessed by the gods and destined to become the lord of the world. How could he accept the fact that he had lost here?
"Don't retreat, kill me, kill in. Ordered Beggar Zanali, he dared to take a step back, and Lao Tzu chopped off his head! Guli Peiluo shouted and scolded.
"Great Khan...... It's too late, the army is defeated, and it can't be restrained. The general next to him said in a low voice.
"Phew!" Guli Peiluo spat on the man's face with a mouthful of thick phlegm, and scolded angrily: "Do you want to die? Let me hear one more sentence like this, and I'll cut off your head with a knife. ”
His subordinates were silent. Guli Peiluo stared angrily at the three entrances of the mountain bag, where a large number of Uighur cavalry were fleeing. Guli Pei Luo gritted his teeth angrily and shouted angrily, waving his hand and shouting: "Prepare the horse, Ben Khan will personally go into battle." ”
Everyone didn't dare to disobey, Guli Peiluo's BMW was brought over, Guli Peiluo turned over and got on the horse, and was about to gallop to the mountain bag, when suddenly he heard the sound of killing in the northwest direction. Under the scorching sun, on the Gobi Desert in the northwest, the flashing light of the sword was dazzling.
"What?" Guli Peiluo shouted.
"Great Khan! I'm afraid that's ...... The ambush of the Dons. Coming at us. Someone replied in horror.
The soldiers and horses that entered from the side were the six thousand cavalry led by Gao Xianzhi. These 6,000 soldiers and horses were supposed to be used as siege troops to contain the opponent in the west of Fengzhou City, but their other role was to attack the Hui army from the flank. When the explosion sounded and the Hui army was defeated, it was the best time to attack. Therefore, Gao Xianzhi led 6,000 cavalry to shoot his horse and kill it.
Guli Peiluo is surrounded by four thousand guards to protect him, although he is inferior in numbers, he can only fight the enemy at this moment. After the tea, the two sides collided head-on on the scorching Gobi Desert and were killed.
However, the overall rout of the Hui army was unstoppable, and tens of thousands of Hui cavalry scrambled out of the mountain pack and fled to the city of Fengzhou. Although Guli Peiluo tried his best to reorganize the soldiers and horses and turn around to fight again, the frightened soldiers and horses could not be restrained at all. And the battle in the northwest direction also fell into a passive situation because of the disadvantage in numbers. Under such circumstances, Guli Peiluo finally realized that today's defeat had been achieved, and there was no room for recovery.
Qizana rushed to Guli Peiluo's side in the midst of a large group of defeated troops, and asked Guli Peiluo for guilt in shame. Guli Peiluo didn't have the strength to listen to his ramblings, and only looked at the black-pressed enemy army chasing in the distance, and scolded angrily: "The culpability will be discussed later, you only tell Ben Khan, what should we do?" What now? ”
Qizanali gritted his teeth and said: "Great Khan, morale is broken, and there is no strength to fight again." For today's plan, we can only retreat into the city first, relying on the defense of Fengzhou City, we can get a chance to breathe. There may be a transfer. ”
Guli Peiluo scolded angrily: "I didn't expect that in the end, I still have to rely on the city to defend, which is not what our army is good at." That Wang Yuan has a siege weapon in his hand, how can Fengzhou defend it? ”
Qizanali shouted: "Great Khan, you can only hold on for a while, otherwise the soldiers and horses will be scattered on the Gobi, and you will be hunted down and beaten." Even if they were to attack the city, they would have to prepare for a few hours. We'll have to take a breather and then discuss what to do. Now I can't hesitate any longer. ”
Guli Peiluo scolded repeatedly, but he also knew that it could only be so. Soldiers and horses are scattered across the Gobi and are being hunted down by their opponents. If we can't retreat into the city immediately to restrain the army's morale, I'm afraid that today's battle will be completely annihilated.
"Qizanali, the soldiers and horses need someone to block the opponent when they enter the city, and this task can only be handed over to you." Guli Peiluo said coldly.
Qizanali's scalp was numb, he knew that this was Guli Peiluo's punishment for himself, so he let himself lead the army behind the palace to block and cover the rest of the soldiers and horses into the city, which was basically going to fight by himself. The soldiers and horses have been broken, the morale has collapsed, how can this task be accomplished?
But Kizanali knew that he could not refuse, although the war had reached this point, it was not that he did not do his best, but that the opponent was too strong. But after all, the Great Khan handed over 100,000 soldiers and horses to his command, but he made it look like this, and he was extremely ashamed in his heart. At this time, I can only fight for my life to atone for my sins.
"The Great Khan was relieved, and the last general swore to cover the withdrawal of the army into the city. Great Khan, order the withdrawal of troops and horses into the city at once. The last general is gone. He saluted with his crossed arms, turned his horse's head and drew his scimitar, and ordered in a deep voice to the generals beside him: "Come with me." Stop the pursuers. ”
More than a dozen generals fought desperately to gather nearly 10,000 fleeing cavalry and organize a covering force. Of course, this was under the condition of killing hundreds of soldiers and horses who had fled and forcing them to persecute them. At this time, Guli Peiluo also gave an order for soldiers and horses to enter the city. The sound of the long horn was like a wail echoing on the Gobi Desert, and with the wailing sound of the horn, the city gate in the south and east of Fengzhou City opened, and countless remnants of the rout soldiers from all directions began to swarm towards the city of Fengzhou.
Six miles south of the city, Qizanali led more than 10,000 Hui cavalry to start a counter-charge against the black pressure pursuers in the rear. The number of pursuers is actually not much, 50,000 Shence army cavalry, 6,000 troops in the northwest direction. Nearly 20,000 people were killed or wounded in the fierce battle overnight, and only more than 20,000 people remained at the moment. As for the infantry, they could not pursue the cavalry at all, they could only wave their flags and shout in the rear. But even so, at this moment, the advantage of troops has fallen one by one, and the 20,000 cavalry of the Shence Army that Qizanali faced are also twice as many as the soldiers and horses he has on hand. It's really feng shui in turn.
"Kill!" Wang Yuan shouted loudly, the long sword in his hand flashed like lightning, and the dark horse under his crotch also galloped like the wind.
"Kill." Zhao Qing, Tan Ping, and the three thousand guards beside him also let out heart-rending shouts.
"Kill!" On the side, Liu Jun led 16,000 light cavalry to speak at the same time.
For a time, in the flat land outside the southern city of Fengzhou, the horse's hooves were churning like thunder, and the smoke and dust were rising like a cover. Divine Strategy
