Chapter 1161: Fighting for the Heights (4)
"General, the enemy is coming!" ??. r?a?n?? ena`c?om
Erzhu Xianzhong put away his handbag and hung it on the side of the horse's belly, turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a fire-dragon-like cavalry rushing from the west, he immediately turned over and shouted: "Come on, go and tell Tang Dingrong on the high ground, just say that the general will lead his troops to fight with the big cannibal, let him strictly guard the high ground, and not fight without authorization, so as not to be calculated by the big cannibal!" ”
"Yes, General!" A herald galloped off the heights on his horse.
Erzhu Xianzhong immediately took out his riding bow and shouted to everyone: "Soldiers, the big cannibals are coming to compete with us for the high ground again, everyone will fight with me!" Grab your bows and arrows and get ready for battle! ”
"Yes!"
The cavalry of the Western Qin Army took out their bows and arrows to beat their horses, followed Erzhu Xianzhong, and met the cavalry of the Great Food Army that rushed over.
At this time, on the high ground, Tang Dingrong was inspecting the construction of various fortifications, when a captain and a few soldiers came over with a few soldiers pushing a big food general with five flowers.
The captain walked up to Tang Dingrong and hugged his fists and bowed down: "General, we caught this big food general on the battlefield, when he was pressed by the corpse and unconscious, the brothers who cleaned the battlefield thought he was dead, but he didn't expect to make a humming sound when he turned the corpse, which scared the brothers who cleaned the battlefield, this old guy is a bit powerful, he killed seven or eight of our brothers in a row, and finally commanded the brothers to subdue him with tripwire ropes around his limbs and neck!" General Erzhu ordered the humble man to take this old guy to the general and hand him over to the general for interrogation, maybe this old guy is a big fish! ”
Tang Dingrong nodded, walked up to Said, who was bound, looked him up and down under the light of the torch, and beckoned to a personal soldier, "Go find someone who can talk big food!" ”
After a while, a big food guide was brought over by a soldier, and Tang Dingrong shook his head to the guide: "Ask him what his name is and what official position he holds in the big food army!" ”
The guide agreed, and then asked the captured Saeed in a big food talk, and after some exchange, the guide turned around and spread his hands to Tang Dingrong: "General, this person refuses to tell his identity, I can't help it!" ”
Tang Dingrong thought about it for a while, and said: "This person's identity is obviously not an ordinary big food soldier, you tell him again, if he doesn't tell his identity, then he will be treated as an ordinary prisoner, now we can't separate the extra pathology department to take care of the prisoner, he will be executed together with other ordinary prisoners, if he tells his identity, he is a person with a certain official rank in the Great Food Army, at least I have no right to dispose of him!" ”
The guide nodded, turned around and began to communicate with Said again, Said hesitated after listening to the guide's words, as a general of the Great Food, of course he did not want to be executed as an ordinary captive, he was once the last governor of Khorasan Province of the Sassanid Dynasty, and later surrendered to the Black Food, no longer having the former status, but at least he is still a general, if he is killed as an ordinary person, it will be officially too wronged. As a result, Said had no choice but to report his identity.
After listening to the guide's relay, Tang Dingrong was surprised: "You are Said?" ”
Said nodded, "It's me!" ”
Tang Dingrong stared at the old man for a while, "Okay, I will send you to our king, as for what the king will do with you, this is not up to me to decide and influence, but I still wish you good luck!" ”
At this time, under the high ground, a battle broke out again, after a face-to-face shooting, the general of the Great Food Jamel lost more than 300 cavalry, when the two sides were about to contact close combat, he immediately took the cavalry behind him to turn to the left and galloped away, although he had immediately led the team to turn, but the tail of the army under his command was still heavily damaged by the Western Qin army, more than 200 people were killed, and the entire rear was scattered, he only then knew why Burke would let him not engage with the Western Qin army in close combat, The light cavalry of the Great Food Army has no advantage in front of the light cavalry of the Western Qin Army, and the knights' riding skills, riding and archery skills, equipment, and bravery are not as good as the Western Qin Army.
Jamel fled into the distance with the remaining 1,500 horsemen, and Erzhu Xianzhong saw that the Great Food Army was beaten and fled, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, you just want to leave?" How can it be so easy? Brothers, follow me! ”
The cavalry of the Western Qin Army hung behind the Great Food Army and pursued for a while, although the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Great Food Army was not as good as that of the Western Qin Army, but the horsepower of the war horses did not have much loss, and they were all tall Arab war horses, and the initial running speed was faster than the Mongolian horses used by the light cavalry of the Western Qin Army, so the cavalry of the Western Qin Army chased for more than ten miles behind and never caught up.
After the initial high speed of the Arab war horses of the cavalry of the Great Food Army passed, a lot of horsepower was consumed, and the speed also decreased, but the speed of the Western Qin army chasing behind did not weaken, and it was about to catch up, so Jamal immediately ordered the whole army to disperse into more than a dozen small groups of cavalry and flee in all directions.
Erzhu Xianzhong, who was about to catch up in the back, looked at it, where did he not understand whether the other party wanted to disperse his forces and then secretly gather together to concentrate his forces and break them down? This tactic of breaking the whole into pieces and dividing them into annihilation was already a good game when they were in the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and immediately sneered: "Play like this with Lao Tzu? When you play this tactic, you don't know how to nest in that desert and gnaw grass! Order, the whole army returns to the Tach Heights! ”
As soon as Erzhu Xianzhong led his army to retreat, the cavalry of Jamal's Great Food Army gathered again from all directions. More than 130 years ago, the "sword of Allah" Khalid used this tactic of non-stop cavalry to defeat the 200,000 army commanded by the Eastern Roman Emperor Heraclius, and the small force of cavalry kept harassing the 200,000 troops of the Eastern Roman Empire exhausted, plus the 200,000 troops of the Eastern Roman Empire were temporarily recruited, plus coming from afar, long journeys and water and soil disorientation, the combat effectiveness seriously declined. Near the Yarmouk River, a tributary of the Jordan River, the two sides set up a duel, Khalid used the sandstorm as a cover and led 25,000 elite cavalry to rush into the huge infantry phalanx of the Eastern Roman Empire, resulting in 70,000 Eastern Roman Empire troops being annihilated, the royal brother Theodora was killed on the spot, the Eastern Roman Empire army collapsed on the whole line, and the Eastern Roman Emperor Heracl, who got the news, was greatly shocked and immediately led the remnants to retreat to the north in panic, which was the famous Battle of the Yarmouk River.
Jamal rode his horse and appeared in the position of Erzhu Xianzhong just now, stopped and watched the cavalry of the Western Qin Army leave, and a general with a large number of cavalry of the Great Food Army followed up and asked, "General, what should I do?" ”
"Chase!" With a loud shout, Jammel struck his horse and chased after him, followed by the great cavalry behind him.
When he chased a certain distance, Jamel was about to loudly order his subordinates to speed up and shoot with bows and arrows, but he didn't expect the cavalry of the Western Qin Army to turn around on horseback and shoot arrows to the rear, a large rain of arrows fell from the sky, and the big food cavalry chasing in the front fell from their horses one after another, and even Jamel was shot with an arrow, he endured the pain and roared: "Chase and kill them harder!" ”
The more the Great Eclipse cavalry wanted to chase, the more they couldn't catch up, but they were shot and killed a large number of soldiers in the process of pursuit, and so on until the horsepower of the Great Eclipse cavalry was seriously consumed, the speed was greatly reduced, and when they couldn't catch up, the cavalry of the Western Qin Army turned around and killed, and it was a rain of arrows, but the range of the bow and arrow of the Great Eclipse Cavalry was much shorter, and they couldn't shoot the Western Qin cavalry, and the cavalry of the Great Eclipse Army suddenly panicked, and if they were rushed up by the Western Qin army at close range, they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
"Withdraw!" Unwillingly, Jammel turned around and shouted loudly, and quickly withdrew to the rear, and the other cavalry of the Great Food Army immediately dispersed and fled after receiving the order.
Erzhu Xianzhong was about to give the order to chase and retreat and annihilate this Great Eclipse Cavalry, but suddenly thought of something, Le Ma stopped and slapped his forehead and shouted: "It's not good, I've been tricked, go back with me to rescue the brothers in Tahe Heights!" ”
The cavalry of the Western Qin Army, under the leadership of Erzhu Xianzhong, turned around and rushed back to the Tahe Heights, and when they arrived nearby, they saw that the mountainside of the Tahe Heights was killing the hot court, and the fires and torches everywhere illuminated the battlefield.
On the front of the Tahe Heights, the infantry of General Berke of the Great Food Nation attracted the attention of the Western Qin army, but he led 3,000 cavalry from the back to the highest point of the heights, Tang Dingrong's command post was in a stormy situation, and it could be broken by Berke's soldiers and horses at any time.
"Fortunately, I found it in time, otherwise I would have been taken away by the Great Cannibal on Tahe Heights, brothers, kill me and attack the Great Eclipse Army up and down!" Erzhu Xianzhong yelled, and rushed up the slope with his spear and horse. The cavalry of the Western Qin Army was shocked, and followed behind with weapons shouting loudly.
Seeing that he was about to kill the command post of the chief general of the Western Qin army and drove the Western Qin army off the high ground, but he didn't expect to kill a Western Qin army from behind, Berke turned his head to look at the banner, and learned that it was Erzhu Xianzhong who led people to kill him, and scolded Jamel for being incompetent, if Jamel could delay Erzhu Xianzhong for another quarter of an hour, he would be able to break through the command post of the Western Qin army on the high ground.
Under the flanking attack in front and back, the situation was extremely unfavorable to the Great Food Army, and in order to preserve his strength, Berke had to grit his teeth and order loudly: "Retreat, everyone rush down with me!" ”
Erzhu Xianzhong saw that the cavalry of the Great Food Army high on the high ground began to turn around and rush downward, and he immediately shouted: "Disperse, retreat to the sides, let them go!" ”
The speed of the cavalry's downward charge is extremely fast, and the momentum is very strong, and the army in front of it will definitely be scattered, and if you want not to be scattered, you can only give way to the passage for the Great Food Army to withdraw.
After Burke and the rest of the Great Cannibal cavalry withdrew to the bottom of the high ground, he stopped his horse, turned his head and yelled at the high ground, and then rode away again with the army.
Erzhu Xianzhong asked the guide to come in and asked, "What did General Da Shi say when he retreated just now?" ”
The guide said, "He said his name was Berk, and that he was the first caliph of the Great Food Country, Abu Abu?" Descendants of Berke, he will come back! ”
Erzhu Xianzhong raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "Okay, General Ben is waiting for him to come, if he doesn't come, General Ben will have to settle accounts with him!" ”
