Chapter 220: Inch Long, Inch Strong (Ask for Subscription!) )
Shache King City, southwest.
Li Guang looked at the wild goose flying from high in the sky, and a smile appeared on his face.
The wild goose brought by the lord is really useful.
He didn't need to send troops to find the sentinels outside the city, just through the Hongyan Legend, he could clearly control all the movements around the Shache King City.
"General, there is a 300-strong Kushan cavalry to the south, they have robbed a caravan and are rushing back."
"It came at the right time."
Li Guang didn't read the content of the book, and with a wave of his right hand, he immediately ordered: "The cavalry on both wings will disperse, and when a certain engages the enemy, then quickly approach the envelope." ”
Because the main purpose of going out of the city this time was not to annihilate the enemy, Li Guang did not arrange too complicated tactics.
A mere 300 Kushan cavalry, even if they were put in an iron shell, could not resist a thousand cavalry.
With Li Guang's order, 400 cavalry on the left and right flanks withdrew one after another. Li Guang deliberately chose such a dune terrain with a convex middle and depressions on both sides, in order to facilitate the hiding of soldiers and horses on the left and right.
As the soldiers and horses on both wings dispersed, Li Guang led 200 cavalry to wait quietly and quietly.
Before he could even wait for a cup of tea, he saw a group of horses approaching in the distance in the dust.
One kilometer
Eight hundred meters
Five hundred meters
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and Li Guang could even hear the sound of the Guishan people laughing.
When the distance between the two cavalry units was shortened to four hundred paces in a few short breaths, the Guishan heavy cavalry in front also saw the Han cavalry lined up.
Only two hundred riders!
"Look, those are Han Chinese."
"How dare the Han people go out of the city?"
"Let's teach them a lesson, these cowards who only know how to hide in the city."
"With such a small number of people, are they sent to death when they come out? Kill them all! ”
Seeing that the Han cavalry in front of him was still smaller than the number of his own side, this group of Kushan cavalry who had returned with a full load instantly came to their senses, shouted and quickened their speed, and at the same time drew their horned bows and long swords.
"Charge!"
The Kushan cavalry had already launched an attack, and Li Guang also gave the order coldly.
Two hundred Han horsemen galloped with their horses, shortening the distance between the two sides again.
In a short distance, even the Kushan archers only had time to shoot a round of flying arrows, half of which missed, and the other half collided with the armor on the Han cavalry, and only a few thirty or forty arrows hit the target, causing more than ten people to turn over and fall off their horses.
When this round of cavalry was over, the cavalry of both sides had already handed over a short hand. At this moment, the advantage of the Han cavalry was also highlighted, because the cavalry of Jilusai usually used horse pistols, and the melee combat was longer than the knight's sword of Guishan.
An inch long, an inch strong.
The Han cavalry who charged up swung out the spear in his hand, even if it could only be smashed on the iron shell of the Kushan cavalry, the concussion caused was not so pleasant.
After all, the force of action does not disappear because of a piece of armor, and with the force of sprinting and smashing, it is enough to sweep away those Kushan cavalry who only rely on their thighs to clamp their horses to maintain their balance.
When the cavalry of the two sides staggered in the first round, the comparison of the battle situation on the field was clear at a glance.
There were still one hundred and seventy of the two hundred Han cavalry still sitting on horseback, but the three hundred heavy cavalry of Guishan had fallen nearly 50 cavalry at this moment.
"Kill!"
Once he entered the battle state, Li Guang did not have any intention of leaving his hands, and if he wanted to kill this group of enemy troops, he had to defeat them first.
When the two sides launched a second charge, the cavalry, which had been hidden in the concave sides of the wings, also rode their horses.
Eight hundred cavalry outflanked from the left and right into the battle circle, and the second round of charging confrontation happened to be over.
In the blink of an eye, nearly forty companions fell, and the faces of the remaining Guishan heavy riders all changed.
The Han army even had ambush soldiers!
Finding that they were about to be surrounded, the remaining Kushan cavalry did not care about their fallen and wounded companions at all, and immediately rode their horses in the direction of the camp.
Fighting with two hundred Han cavalry, they failed to take advantage, let alone fighting with a full thousand cavalry.
The Kushan cavalry were not afraid of battle, but they were by no means the kind that were not afraid of death.
When the war doesn't go well, running away is the first option.
More than 200 cavalry fled, and the remaining 100 people were still lying on the ground and whimpering in pain. Some were unfortunately pierced by the Han army's horse pistol, and some were trampled by their own war horses after falling off their horses.
"Fence it off first!"
Li Guang didn't pay attention to the fleeing cavalry, and with a wave of his right hand, he motioned to all the cavalry to surround the battlefield, and at the same time commanded the chariot rider on his side:
"Let them surrender, and those who dare to resist will be killed on the spot!"
As the Shache cavalry general stepped forward to shout, the Guishan wounded soldiers who were surrounded in the middle circle quickly dropped their weapons in their hands, and those who did not have weapons also raised their hands high, making an internationally accepted surrender posture.
Looking at this group of Guishan cavalry who obediently surrendered, Li Guang was not interested in saying anything, and ordered his soldiers to clean up the battlefield: "In the past, a few people gathered up their horses and captured them, and then they took off all their clothes and armor for me." ”
The Dawan horse of the Kushan cavalry must be left behind.
The camels and brown-maned horses that were carrying grain and goods in the back were also to be confiscated one by one.
In addition, Li Guang did not even let go of the armor of the Guishan heavy cavalry. Li Guang had never seen this kind of cavalry armor with unique Central Asian characteristics before, but now that he has the opportunity, of course, he must collect a batch and bring it back to study it carefully.
Especially the armor that is carried on the shoulders and surrounds the entire back and ribs, this kind of iron shell shape, the forging of the big man will not necessarily think of it.
In just over a hundred seconds, Guishuang's pawn was only stripped of his underwear and underwear by the Han army, Li Guang looked at the armor in his hand, and waved his hand casually:
"Tell them it's time to get out!"
Li Guang actually didn't care about whether to kill and surrender, even if the Han Dynasty had always had an ominous legend of killing and surrendering, the generals who killed and surrendered never stopped.
If you don't kill the Kushan cavalry in front of you at this moment, it is entirely because it is more beneficial to let them return to the camp in the current war.
Let them go back, and they will have a portion of their precious rations; And after this group of defeated soldiers returns, they will inevitably gradually infect their companions with the shadow of defeat.
The consequences of these two influences are beyond the reach of the Kushan army at this moment.
As the Guishan soldiers supported each other and gradually left, Li Guang immediately ordered the whole army to retreat.
Take a shot, change places.
Never overly entangled with the opponent in one direction can reduce the danger of being counter-surrounded by the Kushan army.
With this kind of combat thinking, Li Guang began to constantly sweep away the Kushan cavalry that went out to plunder around the Shache Kingdom, and sent them to the nearest fortress for temporary storage when they had a harvest, and killed the cavalry if they didn't.
In just three or five days, seven or eight Kushan cavalry were brutally murdered by Li Guang.
And Li Guang's 'evil deeds' of the Han cavalry finally spread in the Guishan Pioneer Battalion.
For a time, there was a lot of noise in the entire Guishan Pioneer Camp.
Siege, unable to attack.
looted, but also by the Han army counter-robbery.
The Kushan army, which was full of confidence when it came, was already on the verge of collapse.
