Chapter 600: Wu Dahai Goes Out of the City!
After Nurke broke through, he immediately ran wild on the official road, and he wanted to see what was going on in front of him.
At this time, there were still five or six hundred Tartar cavalry at Simon, and although they were surrounded, they were still resisting stubbornly. I have to say that the combat effectiveness of the Tartar cavalry is very strong, and Wanyun Mountain has mobilized six or seven thousand people one after another, but it still has not been able to completely wipe them out.
In view of this situation, he was still worried that the Tartar infantry in the city would rush out of Wanyun Mountain, and he did not dare to divide his troops to chase Nurke, and only wanted to deal with the remaining Tartar cavalry as soon as possible. He believed that the more than 300 Tartar cavalry who broke through would not have a great impact on the ambush battle ahead.
Nurke quickly rushed to the battlefield only seven or eight miles away with more than 300 cavalry, and when he saw the shouts of killing in front of him, which stretched for several miles full of fighting soldiers, his scalp suddenly went numb!
Our army is really ambushed!
He immediately sent dozens of horsemen back to report the news, and at the same time joined the battle with the remaining two hundred horsemen.
The dozens of horsemen ran back to a position three miles away from Qian'an City, and immediately set off fireworks.
Two red fireworks, indicating that there is an attack!
Another yellow firework was set off, indicating that the army was attacked!
Wu Dahai, who was personally waiting for the signal at the head of the city, saw that he no longer dared to hesitate, and immediately ordered the troops to be ordered to go out of the city to rescue!
Wan Yunshan also saw the signal of the Tartars, although he didn't know what this meant, but his intuition told him that this was a signal for the Tartar cavalry to report the situation to the city after breaking through.
That is to say, Nurke already knew that the Tartars were under attack.
Wan Yunshan made the right judgment this time, he thought that Nurke would inevitably go to the rescue!
Before, he had 13,000 troops at the West Gate, and later transferred 1,000 from each gate, but when he surrounded and suppressed the Tartar cavalry, he visually detected nearly 2,000 casualties, which means that he still has 14,000 troops in his hands, and it is almost impossible to block the Tartar soldiers in the city.
So he immediately ordered to transfer another 2,000 soldiers from the south, north, and east gates.
But before these soldiers could be transferred, the Tartar soldiers in the city rushed out.
Wu Dahai still has about 13,400 elites in his hands, and 5,000 soldiers, he directly sent 10,000 elites out of the city, and now only 3,400 elites and 5,000 soldiers are left in Qian'an City.
After these 10,000 elites left the city, they immediately divided into three groups, 3,000 on the left and right flanks, and 4,000 on the middle lane, and rushed towards the coalition army outside the west gate.
A fierce battle ensued!
The right flank of the coalition army was originally rushed by the Tartar cavalry, and now there are nearly a hundred Tatar cavalry left on the right flank that have not been destroyed, so the right flank has become a weak link. What's worse is that Wanyun Mountain also transferred 2,000 troops from the middle to support the right wing, but now there are only 4,000 troops in the middle (one thousand of them were just transferred from the south gate before).
Obviously, the 4,000 allied troops in the middle cannot resist the 4,000 elite Tartars! And although there are more than 4,000 allied troops on the right flank, they are by no means the opponent of the 3,000 elite Tartars when the formation is in chaos and the soldiers are almost all fighting on their own!
Wu Dahai stood at the head of the city, commanding Ruoding, and after the two sides fought, his hanging heart finally settled.
Originally, he was still very jealous of the martial arts alliance, because the alliance army defeated the Demon Sect in only two months on the three sides, pacified Gao Yingxiang, and made him think that the alliance was very strong. But now he found that the Coalition was no more than that. Although these coalition soldiers are higher than Dajin's elite soldiers in terms of personal cultivation, they are far inferior to Dajin's warriors in terms of mutual cooperation and the use of battle formations.
It's right to think about it, marching and fighting is not a ruthless battle, these so-called people in the rivers and lakes, it only takes a few months to put together temporarily, how can they beat the elite soldiers we have trained since childhood?
War, but a university question!
Under the onslaught of the Tartars, the left flank, right flank, and the three defensive lines of the coalition army were all shaken, and the right flank had been completely broken through, but the Tartars after the breakthrough were not in a hurry, but rushed back from the periphery to the inside, corresponding to the inside and outside of the Tartar soldiers, to encircle and annihilate the right-wing coalition army.
Wan Yunshan had no choice but to send the last five hundred brocade guards around him to consolidate the right flank.
After about a quarter of an hour of fierce fighting, the 4,000 allied reinforcements from the south and north gates finally arrived, and their joining made the situation slightly better.
Seeing this, Wu Dahai immediately sent 3,000 elites and 3,000 soldiers from the city to reinforce them.
These soldiers were led by him himself. Obviously, he's going to take a gamble!
As a result, the situation once again turned to the side of the Tartars.
Wan Yunshan never thought that Wu Dahai would send all the troops out, which was completely abandoning the posture of Qian'an City!
Wu Dahai thought very clearly, as long as he could inflict heavy losses on the martial arts coalition army, and even cooperate with the army from the Santun camp to defeat the martial arts coalition army, what was the small Qian'an City?
Wanyun Mountain hurriedly ordered all the soldiers and horses of each gate to be transferred over, and prepared for a decisive battle with the Tartars at the West Gate.
However, it takes time to transfer troops, especially from the relatively far east gate, which takes about a quarter and a half hours, which is enough time to decide the outcome of a war.
Under the overwhelming offensive of more than 10,000 Tartar soldiers, the defense lines of the Wulin Coalition Army were routed in a large area.
And the reinforcements have not yet arrived.
The smell of blood wafted through the air, and the ears were filled with roars of struggle, cries of despair, and the sound of weapons intersecting. Watching one coalition soldier after another fall under the Tartar knife, Wan Yunshan knew that he couldn't stop it!
The Tartar soldiers were so strong! He couldn't even imagine how Qin Shuhuai commanded the army to beat them out last year!
In order to reduce casualties, he could only implement a second set of plans.
That is, let the Tartar soldiers go over, and then he will bring people to follow, and everyone will go to the main battlefield together, and then the decisive battle!
He immediately ordered the launch of signal fireworks.
When the soldiers of the Wulin Alliance saw the signal, they fought and retreated, giving way to the center and right flank, all of which leaned to both sides.
Wu Dahai's purpose was naturally not to encircle and annihilate the Ming army outside the city, but to rescue the friendly troops who were ambushed. Seeing this, he sneered contemptuously, and then let people set off a signal firework.
When the Tartar soldiers saw the fireworks, they immediately gathered in one place, rushed to the official road from the middle road, and swaggered towards the Santun camp.
Wan Yunshan ordered the whole army to stand by and wait for the soldiers from the other gates to arrive, and then catch up together.
In the battle of Simon, the losses of the coalition army were six or seven thousand, and the Tartars only lost about four thousand in total, including the cavalry. However, this battle loss ratio does not reflect the true strength of both sides, because if the Tartars had made up their minds to break through from the beginning, the cavalry could cooperate with the infantry, and the casualties of the coalition forces would have increased considerably. As for the coalition army, because Qin Shuhuai has taken away most of the masters (not only referring to Zhiren and others, but also to the elder-level masters of various sects), the combat power has decreased.
It didn't take long for Wanyun Mountain to gather the remaining more than 22,000 troops, leave Qian'an City, and go straight to the main battlefield.
Now Qian'an City is no longer important, the main battlefield seven or eight miles away will start the final decisive battle between the two sides, and the winning side will naturally have everything!
