Xue Rengui is crazy!
This was Cao Geliechun's first impression.
Originally, he was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of troops, and it stands to reason that Xue Rengui should act cautiously, and must not make any provocative moves again, and the already wavering allies were pushed into hostility, but Xue Rengui was good, he did not directly hit Belus, but attacked Zhaowu Jiu.
Then it is not 10,000 against 110,000, but 10,000 against 200,000, in the eyes of Cao Guozhu, this is simply a nerve-like tactic, incredible to the extreme.
In fact, deciding to fight a decisive battle with Belus's superior forces with such a meager force, as a general, Xue Rengui is definitely not hot-headed, on the contrary, every move he has carefully considered, so that Xue Rengui will not easily lead his subordinates to death.
Attacking the surname Zhaowu Jiu was the result of careful consideration, patronizing and scolding Xue Rengui for his stupidity, Cao Geliechun even forgot to arrange an army to resist, and what greeted him was a rapid collapse.
Cao's ** team was not as firm as Cao Gelechun imagined, on the contrary, the Sogdian infantry in a chaotic formation barely shot a few arrows, and was spread by the Fujian army, and more than 20,000 infantry ran backwards all over the mountains, but it brought the city-state cavalry composed of the backbone of Cao State and nobles into chaos.
After several years of depletion of trade routes and a winter of nomadic raids, the Sogdian peasant infantry in the countryside, similar to the wild men in the countryside during the Chinese period, were already full of resentment and demoralization to the extreme.
Beginning with Cao, the armies of the Sogdian states collapsed one after another, and within a few hours of the start of the war, Xue Li had already broken the battle record of the Min State, and 9,000 cavalry had defeated 90,000 people.
This is exactly the shrewdness of Xue Rengui, although the 90,000 Sogdians do not have a high fighting spirit, it is always a scourge to stay on the battlefield, especially if the Fujian army fights with Belus and loses both, maybe this group of scum with a combat strength of five can play a decisive role in the whole war, and stab the Fujian country in the back.
Rather than this, it is better to deal with them at the beginning of the war, no matter how unwilling these Sogdians are in their hearts, to force them to become allies of the Min people!
Zhang Xingjian's army broke away from the large ranks, and slaughtered into the queue of the families and dependents of the various tribes who watched the bustle on the sidelines, this group of people was lower than the army of Zhaowu Jiu, and after being brutally killed dozens of them, tens of thousands of people were driven and fled to the meat grinder where the fierce battle was raging.
More than 10,000 Fujian cavalry formed a thin formation, and slaughtered the cavalry formation of the Central Asian army that was several times larger than them, looking like they had a sense of tragedy, but in front of them, there were more than 100,000 chaotic troops.
This is Xue Rengui's confidence to start a war.
Sometimes the rebel army is even more lethal than the official attacking army, and the attacking army still knows that it is afraid, collapses, and retreats backwards, while the rebel army is afraid, and where one person runs, 10,000 people will run there, even if the sword and the sea of fire cannot be stopped.
As he threw himself into the battle to strangle the infantry of the Fujian army, Belus turned his head in shock, and his eyes were full of surging chaotic troops.
"Damn the Min people!"
Almost roaring out with all his might, Belus waved his sword at the Min army with tears in his eyes, and ordered with blood-red eyes: "Spread the order of Sha Khan Sha!" We must intercept the defeated army, and we must not miss a single one! ”
Dozens of surviving Persian horsemen rushed anxiously to the still stalemate battlefield on horseback, shouting Belus's orders in a hoarse voice.
However, the chaos and interweaving of the nomadic army did not move as quickly as Belus wished, but instead exposed the weakness of the nomadic organization and mobilization.
More than 100 tribes and 110,000 nationalities gathered in a circle to attack Zuo Wuwei, most of the warriors in the tribe were mobilized at the innermost end of the circle, and the commander was also here.
The weakness of this formation is the periphery, the cowards of the tribes who are stretched out in long strips are all piled up there, lacking command, and it is difficult to mobilize, once the attack is extended, the entire formation will definitely fall into chaos.
The various tribes are mixed, which chief is not subordinate to the others, and the difficulty of mobilizing the noble warriors from the head of the moving large array to the end of the formation can be imagined, and there is no planned mobilization of the army, but the army of Belus is chaotic, some people are squeezing out, some people are squeezing in, and the offensive camp that was originally maintained is chaotic.
In the chaos, the routed troops who thought that their parents did not have more legs also crashed into the large array of Belus as scheduled, and the infantry desperately squeezed through the gaps like fine water and sand, squeezing the already chaotic Central Asian nomadic army even more chaotic, completely losing command contact.
The four cavalry once again gathered into a sharp arrow formation, and following the footsteps of the defeated soldiers, they also fiercely plunged into the large array of Belus.
Seeing the black pressure and hideous face of the steppe wolf riding closer and closer, Li Rang, who had not experienced any battle formation, made his heart flutter and beat wildly, desperately hugging the military flag in his arms, the disparity between the enemy and me, the Byzantine queen Anna on the side was also not strong, holding the horse's neck and roaring with the same sharpness, but her exclamation was not hidden in the galloping of thousands of horses.
Only Xue Rengui, who is at the top of the team, is the most calm, and even has a special kind of excitement, Xue Rengui's face is as heavy as water, carrying his treasure carving bow in his hand, and his heart is constantly calculating the distance.
Suddenly, Xue Rengui shot out like lightning, the taut bowstrings were like fluctuating strings, and more than a dozen bows and arrows in his hand shot out almost instantly, and the pair of cross-eyed eyes that were originally a little funny were also full of incomparable majesty and stared at the front.
Puff puff~
A series of arrows, the seven steppe wolf warriors who were the most ferocious and fierce rushed out were hit by arrows in their necks almost at the same time, turned over and fell off their horses, and the hundreds of nomadic wolf riders around were all stunned for a moment.
It is really a place of death and rebirth, completely ruined, it is difficult to buy, the treasure carving bow that is like a pearl in the palm of the hand is directly thrown by Xue Rengui, and the horse is hanging, the Fang Tian painting halberd that has been specially practiced over the years was put into Xue Rengui's hand in a blink of an eye, and the chopping ability is stronger than the horse lance, and the halberd blade draws a full moon symbolizing death.
Click! Click!
In the midst of the screams, a series of steppe wolves spurted blood from all over the place, Xue Rengui took the lead, and in the blink of an eye, he had already torn a bloody hole in the Belus army, and the sharp left guard cavalry immediately cut into the army formation like a hot knife cutting butter.
The other three cavalry assaults are not slow, and it is difficult for the steppe wolves to react when people crowd people, but the Fujian army has no scruples to block and kill the gods, and the Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha, and the blood is all over the ground where it passes, and it goes straight to the heart of the Central Asian cavalry, the banner of Belus!
"Stop them!"
Under the banner of the handsome, Belus's voice was even more furious, but there was a trace of fear in his voice, seeing the surging Fujian army, Belus seemed to remember the fiasco of the Western Hindu Kush Mountains again, that battle, the whole army was annihilated, and he returned alone, and that fear resurfaced in his heart again.
In the end, there are still tribes loyal to Belus, roaring angrily, and suddenly a member of the chaotic army is wearing nail armor, and the descendant of Wusun with a leopard head and eyes is wheeled with two knives, roaring angrily and leading his troops to greet him, even the alliance comrades along the way were cut by him under the knife, and quickly killed a bloody road.
Seeing the enemy army surging in, driving the nearby enemy troops to also surround him, the situation suddenly became grim, looking at the front, Xue Rengui's brows couldn't help frowning, but at this moment, Zhang Xingjian, the leading lieutenant on the left flank, who was also at the tip of the sharp arrow formation, roared sonorously.
"The general goes first! The last general should be the general to face this fang! ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Xingjian's left army had suddenly accelerated, and in a moment it fell into a melee with the Wusun people.
In the chaotic battle array, one by one the soldiers of the Fujian army fell into layers of encirclement, lost their speed, and responded to the enemy from all directions.
It's this kind of spirit of dying again, Anna turned her head in amazement, holding the flagpole tightly, a tear hung in the corner of Li Rang's eyes, and only Xue Rengui's face didn't change even a bit.
After a few moments, a Turkic human-headed man on the right side who looked as horizontal as Maitreya and had bulging chest muscles like a gorilla howled all the way to the battle, and this time, without saying a word, the right army commander Guli and his comrades silently led their troops to block it......
It only took a few cups of tea to break through the Belus army formation, but it fell into the encirclement several times on the way, and even Xue Rengui's headquarters encountered two blockades, under a Fang Tian painting halberd, Xue Rengui killed the white robe with blood spots on the hem, brilliant like plum blossoms, a handful of blood splashed on Li Rang's face, and half of the Min Daxu in his hand was missing, which was cut by feather arrows, and Anna's hair was also fluttering in mid-air.
There are only more than 2,000 left of the 3,000 iron cavalry, and almost everyone was injured in the short and fierce cavalry battle, but the scarred body supported a strong soul, and almost every Fujian soldier looked at the front with leisurely eyes.
Where, Belus's banner fluttered weakly like a goat urging to death.
There are still 20,000 troops around him, including the most elite Persian iron cavalry army, but Belus does not even have a sense of security in his heart, looking at Xue Rengui who is killing him like a leopard, he can no longer suppress the fear in his heart, trembling, Belus finally turned his horse's head and ran behind him.
The 20,000 horsemen immediately followed his footsteps and retreated northward.
With a long fire burning in his eyes, Xue Rengui excitedly raised the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand full of bloody minced flesh, and roared angrily.
"Chasing !!"
