Chapter 1053: The Rear Army Attacked
On the vast battlefield in the Western Regions, the Wei army and Tsarist Russia began to fight, with gunfire and cannon shouts, wave after wave.
The Yarkand cavalry rushed out of the chariot formation, covering the retreating Tatar cavalry from behind.
In the wilderness, the Tatar cavalry, scattered in formation, fled in the wilderness, and the Wei army's artillery bombarded, and the shells fell in front of them, splashing the fluffy soil from time to time.
"Run, catch up!" An exclamation sounded, and the Tatar cavalry looked back and saw that the Wei cavalry had caught up, and the backward Tatar cavalry was shot off their horses by muskets and bows and arrows, and they all beat their horses' buttocks in horror and urged their horses to gallop.
The Mongolian horse army, which once crisscrossed the Eurasian continent and was invincible, has now not only become a vassal of the Rakshasas, but is also being pursued like a grandson.
After the Wei cavalry recuperated, they rushed out of the car formation, the Tatar cavalry had just rushed for a while, and now they were running back, although both sides were climbing, but it was obvious that the horsepower of the Wei cavalry was better.
For a time, the Tatar cavalry turned back to shoot arrows and showed their housekeeping skills, but they were soon caught up by the Wei cavalry, spears pierced, muskets were fired, cavalry swords were chopped, and the backward Tatar cavalry fell from their horses one after another.
The cavalry of the Western Regions were terrified when they saw that the army was surrounded by enemy forces several times their size, but now that the panic had completely dissipated, they chased the Tatar cavalry and slashed and slashed, this feeling was really comfortable.
The Wei cavalry galloped their horses, poked out their spears with their hands, stabbed the Tatars in front of them off their horses, and then continued to pursue the next target, and at this moment, there was a strange cry in the distance, thousands of Cossack light cavalry armed with bloody swords, shouted in unison, "Ula!" "Rushed out.
The Cossack cavalry, urging the horses, the cavalry left the main formation, and soon raised full speed, they galloped against the retreating Tatars, the view of the Wei cavalry was blocked by the Tatars, and the cavalry was intoxicated with the pleasure of pursuit, and did not know that a Russian cavalry rushed out.
The Cossack cavalry marched in unison, and when they were about to collide with the rout, they immediately divided into two groups, they moved out of the way, and in a detour like two large snakes, they made a detour on both flanks, ready to flank the Wei cavalry.
However, Li Guo had already seen the Tsarist cavalry dispatch, and he immediately waved his hand, "Mingjin collects the troops and lets the cavalry withdraw to the car formation."
A golden sound of "ding ding ding" sounded, and the alert Wei cavalry immediately turned around when they heard it, and saw that the main formation raised the command flag, and many people had already noticed the Cossack cavalry that had detoured to the two wings, and the Wei cavalry who felt the threat had reined in the reins of their horses and pulled their horses to withdraw.
The Cossack cavalry rushed over, the sabers flew over, and the backward Wei cavalry was cut down, blood shot out, and they fell off their horses, but most of the Wei cavalry rushed back to the chariot formation from the passage.
The Cossack light cavalry pursued for a while, and did not dare to charge directly, so they could only watch the Wei army retreat into the chariot formation, and they made a detour and ran back to the hillside.
In the first encounter, Morozov was stunned, and at the same time understood the strategic idea of the Wei army's commander-in-chief, which was to play a defensive counterattack.
The Russian army attacked the car formation, and the Wei cavalry retracted into the car formation, and the Russian army failed to attack, and the cavalry went out to chase and kill, and the entire army formation could be attacked and defended.
Morozov originally thought that he was surrounded by a flock of sheep, but now it seems that he is actually surrounding a giant python with a coiled body and spitting red letters.
When the monk saw the menacing Russian army in the distance, he suffered a big loss as soon as he came up, and his face immediately became a little difficult to look at.
Morozov's face was gloomy, but the Russian army has been fighting for a long time, has been fighting in recent years, is expanding, and has extremely rich experience.
Seeing that the Cossacks were retreating, Morozov retracted the cavalry of the Wei army, and immediately waved his fists and roared loudly, "Artillery bombardment, the first corps will attack, and then let the Dzungars also attack, and besiege me on three sides." ”
When the military order was issued, the Tsarist Russian artillery immediately pushed in the artillery, built an artillery array, and prepared to bombard the Wei army's vehicle formation, while an elite Russian infantry army was ready to attack the Wei army under the cover of artillery.
Li Guo saw the movements of the Russian army from the clairvoyant mirror, and immediately frowned.
……
When the front army was surrounded by Tsarist Russia, the Wei scouts who followed behind, heard the sound of artillery and shouts of killing from afar, and immediately divided into two teams, one team of Pegasus returned, and the other team galloped on horseback, and continued to explore and find out the strength of the Russian army.
Eighty miles away from the battlefield, a large force of Wei troops marched slowly, many cavalry led their horses, and some rested on the roadside.
Gao Yihuan, Li Dingguo and others, on a big stone on the side of the road, spread out a map of the Western Regions drawn by the Wei State, on which the geography of mountains and rivers, cities and rivers, one by one, and even some small roads and oases that the locals did not know were also drawn on the map.
Gao Yihuan looked at the map and frowned: "It's almost time to break the leaves, why haven't the Rakshasa people moved?" ”
Li Dingguo looked at the map and pointed to one place, "If the army has passed here and has not encountered an ambush, Nachen suggested that the rear army can speed up, meet with the front army, and then pounce directly on the broken leaves!" ”
Gao Yihuan looked at the place Li Dingguo pointed to, and bowed slightly, "The rest of the road, it seems that only this place is more suitable for ambush." Saying that, Gao Yihuan turned his head and asked, "Jiang Xiang was ambushed here, right?" ”
An officer from the Western Regions Protectorate glanced at the map, clenched his fists and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it is indeed here!" ”
Gao Yihuan nodded, "Where is the former army?" ”
Li Dingguo said in a deep voice: "Counting the steps, you should have arrived here!" ”
"Did the scouts come back?" Gao Yihuan straightened up and shouted, "If you don't have it, hurry up and send another team of scouts over." ”
Hao Shaoqi clenched his fists and was about to make arrangements, when Gao Yigong led a scout to walk hurriedly, "Your Majesty! ”
With a quick shout, the two of them hurriedly grabbed over and saluted on one knee.
Gao Yihuan looked back, saw Gao Yigong's deeds in a hurry, his expression was solemn, his heart moved, and he blurted out: "Is there any news coming back?" ”
"Your Majesty, the front army has fought with the enemy soldiers!" The scout couldn't take a breath and said loudly.
When Gao Yihuan heard this, his face became excited, and he hurriedly asked, "How many enemy soldiers have set up ambushes?" ”
The scout replied: "Your Majesty, I will only hear the sound of cannons and shouts of killing and come back to report, while the commander of the brigade will continue to probe forward, and I will definitely report back later!" ”
After Li Dingguo heard this, he looked at Gao Yihuan, "Your Majesty, let the army speed up first!" ”
Gao Yihuan nodded his head and immediately ordered, "Command the army, advance at full speed, and reinforce Li Guo!" ”
The military order flew over, and the Wei army, which was marching slowly, immediately boiled, and the soldiers resting on both sides of the road flew on their horses and gathered on the road, and the army galloped westward.
Nearly 100,000 Wei troops, with their horses' hooves rolling, galloped forward, and after a while, there were scouts running against the flow of people and reporting to Gao Yihuan, "Your Majesty, more than 100,000 enemy soldiers, ambushing the front army, and the battle in front is extremely fierce. ”
Gao Yihuan showed excitement on his face, looked at Li Dingguo, and said in a deep voice: "Dingguo, in this battle, Great Wei will win!" ”
