Chapter 1115: Encirclement and Annihilation

The Great Food General Maninta's expression was awe-inspiring, he had long heard that the Western Qin cavalry was well-trained and strong, when he saw the Hua Thorn Zimo cavalry on the left side of the rush was scattered, but the Western Qin cavalry on the right side was neatly arranged, even if the running speed had been increased, the Western Qin cavalry were still neat, he knew that the rumors were true, and he realized that he was in big trouble today.

Maninta is a cavalry general with rich combat experience, he realized that his situation is not good, and began to look for the flaws of the Western Qin army and the flower thorn subm, he soon found that if he wants to confront the Western Qin cavalry, the possibility of defeat will be very high, but if only a small part of the troops are used to contain the Western Qin cavalry, and concentrate the main force to attack the flower thorn submo cavalry, as long as he takes the lead in defeating the flower thorn zimo cavalry, it is possible to deal a great blow to the morale of the Western Qin cavalry, even if he cannot defeat the Western Qin cavalry, he can maintain an undefeated situation.

In the process of leading the army to sprint, Maninta immediately issued a military order to divide the troops, he used 1,000 men to meet the Western Qin cavalry, and used the remaining 2,000 cavalry to attack the 1,000 cavalry of Hua Thorn Zimo.

During the sprint, Yang Guangliang quickly discovered the movement of the Great Food Army, and he immediately reacted, allowing the herald standard-bearer around him to give the military order to slow down the sprint and outflank the Flower Thorn Zimo Army, and the military order also included only striking with bows and arrows, and not engaging in close contact.

"Order, a long snake formation, order the rear team to speed up and go around from the left!"

"A thousand people in the front are ready to strike with bows and arrows!"

In just a few breaths, Yang Guangliang issued a series of orders, the military orders of the Western Qin army wanted to be executed quickly, accurately and thoroughly, the middle and rear of the Western Qin cavalry queue began to accelerate, the middle accelerated slowly, the rear accelerated fast, and the further back they turned, the faster they ran, because they had to form a net-like formation with the front cavalry as soon as possible, and the front and rear were the two sides of this net, and the squadron was the bottom of the net.

"Front team, shoot arrows, five shots in a row!" Yang Guangliang quickly issued a military order to the front team, and the front team of 1,000 cavalry shot arrows at the oncoming Great Food Army.

And the Great Food Army was not to be outdone, the thousand cavalry who rushed over also released arrows to the Western Qin Army, the two sides had a bow and arrow battle, and people were constantly shot and fell off horseback, whether it was the training of the soldiers, or the level of cavalry and archery of the soldiers, or the equipment, the Western Qin Army surpassed the Great Food Army, and the losses of the Great Food Army in the bow and arrow attack greatly exceeded the Western Qin Army.

When Yang Guangliang found that the 1,000 Great Food Cavalry that rushed over began to detour outward, and did not intend to rush over, he knew the intention of the general of the Great Food Army, and immediately took a thousand people in front to turn to the outside.

In order not to leave the side and back to the Western Qin army, he could only order the cavalry of the 1,000 Great Food Army to rush over, and the front of the two sides finally engaged in close combat, but the cavalry of the Western Qin Army never rode a war horse to stop and cut the enemy, and it was better to use this tactic of giving up the advantage of high-speed maneuver of the war horse to use the infantry against the cavalry, and the cavalry lost its greatest advantage once it stopped.

The Western Qin army gave full play to the advantages of the light cavalry, and the front team of 1,000 people under the leadership of Yang Guangliang was indomitable, as long as the war horses could still run, they would not stop, and the cavalry of the Great Food Army was not suitable for the tactics of the Western Qin cavalry. After abandoning the bow, they pulled out and bent down to have a melee with the Western Qin army, and became entangled, trying to contain the Western Qin cavalry, but the Western Qin cavalry kept rushing back and forth, causing extremely heavy casualties to the Great Food Cavalry.

The cavalry of the Great Food Army, which was pinning down, was quickly unable to withstand the huge casualties, and they were in a situation of being passively beaten, in this case, no matter how strong their faith was, no matter how fierce they were to die, they could not bear this level of casualties, and their collapse was only instantaneous.

Yang Guangliang led the men and horses to chase and kill the Great Food Defeat for a while, and immediately gave up the few escaped Great Food Defeat soldiers, and took the men and horses to complete the net pocket tactics, and at this time the net pocket arranged by the Western Qin Army had been formed, and the 1,000 cavalry of Hua Thorn Zimo lost more than 200 people in the shooting, and there were more than 800 people left to complete the outflanking, and detoured back to the back of the Great Food Army, forming a net bag cover, and when the cover and the net bag were closed, the Big Food Army surrounded in the middle became a fish in the net!

"General, we're about to be surrounded! If you don't break through, you'll all die here," one of the generals shouted at Maninta.

The cruel reality made Maninta have to give up the plan to resist the Western Qin army and the Thorn Zim, and chose to break through, the breakthrough must be divided to divert the attention of the West Qin army and the Thorn Zimo army, Mainta ordered a general to break through to the south with a thousand men, and he took the rest of the people to break through to the west.

After the net pocket tactics were completed, the speed of the cavalry running decreased a lot, the sand and dust in the air became thinner, and the area that could be seen clearly within the line of sight was greatly increased.

The Western Qin army, which is proficient in horsemanship and cavalry tactics, is least worried about the enemy to break through, many past examples have shown that hunting tactics have a natural restraint effect on the breakthrough, the Western Qin army uses light cavalry with high-speed running speed and endurance to surround the enemy who wants to break through in a circle, using bows and arrows to shoot in a large area, the trapped enemy wants to break through in which direction, the encirclement will move in which direction, if it is infantry, of course, this tactic cannot be realized, but high-speed light cavalry can easily do it.

Now the Great Food Army that intends to break through is divided into two, but this is difficult for Yang Guangliang, the Western Qin Army has long had tactical training and coping methods in this regard, since the Great Food Army that intends to break through is divided into two, then the Western Qin Army outside the encirclement can of course also divide the encirclement into two, and the execution is extremely skillful.

Mainta's plan to break through the siege failed, and there were fewer and fewer big food cavalry around him, because there were constantly arrows shooting from all directions, and as the big food soldiers became fewer and fewer, the Western Qin army also began to deliberately narrow the encirclement and reduce the range of activities of the big food army, which made the big food army quickly lose speed, and the cavalry that lost speed was worse than the infantry.

Maninta was also fierce, seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, but he never surrendered, and the battle was not over until he was shot into a hedgehog by dozens of arrows all over his body and fell to the sand with his warhorse.

The battle stopped, the Western Qin cavalry put the bloody war knives in their hands into the sheath, wiped the blood on their foreheads and faces, and the war horses under their crotches kept snorting, there was no living big food cavalry on the battlefield, and the corpses of the big food soldiers and their war horses were lying on the big sand, these corpses were all poured together one by one, lying on the ground to form a circle and an oval, this is the scene caused by being surrounded and killed.

The general of the thorn Zimo, Borcheng, ran over on his horse and said to Yang Guangliang: "General Yang, I ran two or three hundred food routs, this blames me for not covering my pockets and letting them run, this is my fault, please allow me to take someone to chase it!" ā€

Yang Guangliang put the knife into the sheath and agreed: "Okay, then trouble General Bolcheng!" ā€

Bolcheng immediately took the remaining cavalry of Flower Thorn Zimo and chased it in the direction where the Great Food Army had fled.

Yang Guangliang beckoned, and a hundred-man captain rode over and hugged his fists and said, "Does the general have an order?" ā€

"Follow behind the Flower Thorn Zimo Army, and report at any time on their pursuit of the rout of the Great Food Army!"

"Yes!"

Naturally, the deputy general in charge of logistics was assigned to clean up the battlefield, and the wounded were also treated by medical officers. Yang Guangliang summoned the general and other lieutenant generals, as well as several generals and colonels under his command to discuss the situation of the battle to the corps headquarters and discuss whether to set up the camp in the territory of the Great Food Country.

"The last general thinks that he should cross the border and set up camp in the territory of the Great Food Country!" Adjutant General Huang Yongyi put forward his own proposal.

Another lieutenant general, Tian Guangxi, also said: "Yes, the Great Food Army actually crossed the border to our Western Qin's sphere of influence, this is a slap in the face to us, can't we fight back?" Is it just that they are only allowed to penetrate into our Western Qin's sphere of influence, and the ministry allows us to bully and bully them in their territory? ā€

Cao Decao, the overseer, looked at Yang Guangliang and asked, "General Yang, what do you think?" ā€

Yang Guangliang said: "I agree with General Tian and General Huang, we can't let the big cannibals bully, this evil breath must come out, they cross the border for five miles, we cross the border for fifty miles, and pay it back ten times!" Lao Cao, what do you think? ā€

Cao Decao touched his short beard, looked in the direction of the border and said with an unfathomable look: "You are all too conservative, some are timid!" ā€

The others were stunned, and Tian Guangxi asked, "Lao Cao, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that you have a bolder idea! ā€

Cao Decao took out the map and said, "Who is our king?" I'm afraid that he will already be furious after hearing the news that the Great Food Army has crossed the border line, otherwise how could the higher authorities order us to attack and destroy this Great Food Army? Since this military order has been issued, it shows the attitude of the royal court, even if it is bold, it is not too bold, but we do not have many troops now, and we can't go too deep into the hinterland of the Great Food Country, I think we can at least take these two cities - Guchang and Maskad! After taking these two cities, let Kurkure and his men and horses recruit troops and increase their strength in the area, while we gather food, grass and other military supplies while waiting for orders from the legions. If there is a war against the Great Food Country, we can take Guchang and Mahhad as a springboard for the army to advance, if the above negotiates with the Great Food Country, we will stay in place and wait for further orders, if the Great Food Army kills a large number of troops and horses, we can fight and retreat, even if it is in danger, we can throw Kurkuray and his men and horses out to lead the Great Food Army! ā€

Yang Guangliang couldn't help but scolded: "Damn, people who play with pens are really insidious people." But I like Lao Cao, this idea is strong enough, so let's do it, what do you think? ā€

"Okay, let's do it!"
