Chapter 652: Encircling and Annihilating

There are only six or seven thousand remnants of men and horses without bones, mixed with infantry and cavalry, mainly cavalry, all the cavalry that can be brought by no bones can be brought by cavalry, but after repeated battles, the loss of war horses actually exceeded the loss of personnel, so that when they fled, many Xianbei cavalry turned out to be infantry. However, despite this, the troops without bone ability were still dominated by cavalry, and the defense of the Shu army in the west was weak, and they were rushed to the bottom of the mountain in one breath by no bone energy.

Fu Zhao's Hubu right battalion was cleaning up the battlefield, and immediately assembled after receiving the order, but the Xianbei people came very quickly, and before the Hubu right battalion was completed, the Xianbei people had already rushed to the front.

This is the second time that the right battalion of Hubu has fought with the Xianbei army without bones, a few days ago in the mountain pass east of Sanwei Mountain, the two sides fought a battle, but that time the Hubu battalion was well defended, and did not give any chance to the boneless ability, but with the assistance of the cavalry, the boneless can be almost wiped out.

However, this time the formation of the right battalion of Hubu was much haste, and the bulky side van did not have time to complete the formation, seeing that the Xianbei people had already pounced, Fu Zhao immediately made a decision, and discharged a phalanx of pikemen to intercept the Xianbei people, and at the same time, behind the phalanx, the side van was also urgently pushed over, to build a second line of defense, Fu Zhao is very clear, now the Xianbei people are in a hurry to escape, it is completely red-eyed, only with the spear array, I am afraid it is difficult to resist the impact of the Xianbei people.

As expected, in order to escape, the Xianbei people used all the strength to eat milk, and as soon as the Shu army completed the spear array, the Xianbei people had already pounced fiercely and crashed into the spear array frantically.

Although the spear formation is also an effective way to resist the impact of cavalry, but in all fairness, the spear formation is much weaker than the partial van formation, the only advantage is that the formation is fast, flexible and flexible, although the bulky partial van formation is indestructible in terms of defensive strength, but the mobility is too far behind, which is undoubtedly a fatal shortcoming.

The dense spear pierced into the body of the Xianbei people and the war horse, but the Xianbei people were all fearless of death, and rushed up one after another, and the huge inertial impact force was like a wave of breaking the embankment frantically impacting the spear array of the Shu army, knowing that the Xianbei people who had fallen into a desperate situation at this time in order to escape for their lives, the potential in the body was stimulated, regardless of casualties and costs, desperately impacting the position of the Shu army, trying to kill a bloody road from here.

Now Yao Yikang's Qiang cavalry and tiger cavalry battalions have gone to the direction of Dunhuang, there are only five infantry battalions left around Sanwei Mountain, and the other four battalions are arranged in the other three directions of Sanwei Mountain, and only the right battalion of Hubu is now holding on to the west. After the bones were able to break through, the other four infantry battalions also began to encircle to the west, but in terms of speed, the Shu infantry must be half a beat slower than the Xianbei cavalry.

The task in front of the right battalion of Hubu is also quite severe, and it is necessary to intercept the retreat of the boneless before the other four infantry battalions come together.

Fu Zhao knew very well that the burden on his shoulders now, if he could escape without bones, then the previous efforts of the Shu army would be in vain, so no matter what, at all costs, he would have to intercept the bones at the foot of Sanwei Mountain.

The two sides fell into a stalemate in the bitter battle, in the face of the Xianbei people's desperate impact, the Shu army soldiers did not retreat, held their positions to the death, and the Xianbei people launched a desperate contest.

Such a bloody battle is undoubtedly the most tragic, the right battalion of Hubu in order to block the attack of the Xianbei people, but also paid a very heavy price, every moment of time passes, there will be countless Shu soldiers fall on the battlefield, but the blood of the robe did not make them afraid, but more inspired the fighting spirit in the chest, fight desperately, never take half a step back.

He thought that if he simply used infantry to resist the cavalry, he had a lot of chances of winning, so he sent the vanguard cavalry to attack with the strongest attack strength from the beginning, wanting to tear a hole in the shortest possible time.

But he didn't expect that the defensive will of the Shu army would be so tenacious, just using spears to form a formation to resist the attack of the hospitalized Xianbei people, and he couldn't help but lament, if he wanted to break through, it might be difficult to climb to the sky.

The battle on this side has fallen into a stalemate, and the Hubuzuo Battalion and the Yongan Battalion over there have already taken the lead in surrounding and trapping the Xianbei people. At this time, the second line of defense of the second line of defense of the Hubu right battalion has been roughly arranged, Fu Zhao decisively ordered the heavy casualties of the Hubu right battalion to retreat to the back of the side van formation, which can effectively reduce the combat attrition of the Hubu right battalion, since the other two teams have been surrounded, it is no longer the Hubu right battalion fighting alone, Fu Zhao does not have to fight too hard.

Once the encirclement was formed, the hope of escaping without bones was shattered, and the Xianbei people were like deflated balls, and their fighting spirit was completely lost, and they soon collapsed.

The battle ended quickly, no bones could be captured alive, all of his subordinates were destroyed, even one of them could escape, although it was the Hubu Left Battalion and the Yongan Battalion that annihilated this Xianbei people, but everyone knew very well that in terms of the first merit, it should be Fu Zhao's Hubu Right Battalion.

The battle here has just ended, and the cavalry corps has arrived at the city of Dunhuang, and as soon as Zhang Ji saw that it was the Shu soldiers and horses that were killed, he immediately raised the white flag, opened the city gate, and surrendered to the Shu army.

Yao Yikang, Deng Pu, and Fu Zhi entered Dunhuang only to know that the bald tree function and Ma Xun had no chance to enter Dunhuang City at all.

After Yao Yikang and others took over Dunhuang, they sent people to report to Liu Yin on the one hand, and left part of the defenders to guard Dunhuang, while the main force continued to march and continued to advance in the direction of Yumen Pass.

Liu Yin led the army and soon arrived in Dunhuang. Dunhuang is the fourth and last county town won by Liu Yin's expedition to the west, and it took Liu less than half a year to sweep away the four counties of Hexi, which can be described as a brilliant result.

Liu Yin rewarded Zhang Ji and appointed him as the new Dunhuang Taishou, and at the same time, according to the situation of Wuwei, Zhangye, and Jiuquan, he set up a lieutenant in Dunhuang County to take charge of Dunhuang's military.

Of course, entering the city to receive Dunhuang is just a ceremony, Liu Yin's greater wish is to be able to completely eliminate the bald tree function, but the news from Yumen Pass surprised Liu Yin. (To be continued.) )
