Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 92 Liujiatun
The people in Liujiatun watched these uninvited guests with a kind of indifference. Since Qinghe and Pinglu fell into the hands of the Kamans, Liujiatun, with only a few dozen households, has become a place for Kamans to transport goods and services. The only way to mobilize troops is that Liujiatun is located at the bottom of the pot on this plain, surrounded by flat land on all sides. Since the Western Frontier Army has intensified its encirclement and sneak attacks in the three prefectures of Beiyuan, although the Kaman people are here It is important, but in view of the tense force and the lack of cover here, it is very easy to be surrounded and wiped out by the concentrated and superior forces of the Western Frontier Army, so there has never been a fixed number of troops stationed here, and many times they stay here temporarily. Leave with the brigade. Therefore, the people in Liujiatun are no strangers to the presence of Kamans, but this group of Kamans seems to be a little different from the previous Kaman troops. Although it was through the night, it was still difficult for such a large-scale army to avoid the eyes and ears of interested people.
Cherif stood at the crossroads in the center of the town, with a look of hesitation on his face. What task was not easy to arrange, and he was actually sent to guard this dilapidated place. There are dozens of families, and one can tell that even a decent family There are no big households, where do you let yourself rest tonight?
Soldiers are entering along the road one after another, a team of 30,000 people. Cherif is a little unhappy when he thinks of this. The Western Frontier Army appeared on the border between Beiyuan and Terok, but Cherif still didn't take it seriously. Since the rangers of the Western Frontier Army were encircled and suppressed, their actions have become much more cautious, and they dare not go in easily. The Xijiang Army forgot its lesson so quickly. Although Cheriff did not participate in that battle, he also knew that one of Li Wufeng's ranger regiments was almost completely wiped out in that battle, which made Kaman's entire army feel proud, and they were so tormented by these damned nomadic cavalry. Finding an opportunity to retaliate fiercely, the anger in the stomach can be considered to be resolved a lot.
A centurion was scurrying around like headless flies under the leadership of the centurion, apparently unable to find their own campsite. Cherif felt angry when he saw it. Thirty thousand troops rushed in, and everyone wanted to occupy a place close to other people's homes to camp. In addition, the sky was dark and mixed, and it seemed that they could not control the situation.
"What are you running around? Which 10,000-man team are you from? Go find your commander-in-chief, are you here too?" .
"Uh, we are from the 7,000th team of the 40,000th team. We got separated when we came in, and now we can't find us. We should camp over there." replied, but the footsteps did not stop and kept walking towards this side.
The soldiers also felt a little strange, knowing that the boss is standing here, why are these guys so ignorant, do they really want to make their boss feel better after a scolding?
Cherif also stared blankly at this group of soldiers rushing over. He always felt that something was wrong. It stands to reason that his general flag had already been erected, and the 40,000th team's defense area was not here. One piece, why did this guy rush towards this side with his head buried? By the way, there is something wrong with their clothes and armor no matter how you look at it. The clothes of my regiment are all newly supplied. Why are the clothes of this group of people so dilapidated? With the dazzling light of the torches around him, Viscount Cheriff felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
"Wait a minute! Who is your commander?" Cheriff asked sharply, taking a step forward and gesturing his bodyguards to step forward to block the soldiers who were still approaching this way.
"Uh, it's the commander of the regiment. Our commander is • • • • • • Do it!" When the personal soldiers also felt that something was wrong, they attacked from both sides and prepared to teach these unmannered guys a lesson, a sudden change occurred.
With a snort, the messy group of soldiers suddenly had something in their hands, and with a bang, the arrows scattered all over the sky like a rainstorm hitting pear blossoms. They never expected to encounter such an attack in the core center of the garrison area , Cherif's personal soldiers screamed again and again when they stood in neutral, and amidst the rain of blood, their mournful howls tore through the night sky.
After the two personal guards bravely rushed forward to block the rain of arrows, the awakened Cheriff had no time to think about it, and rolled to the side one by one, roaring suddenly. : "Come on, some enemies have sneaked into our army!"
Like a torch thrown into a pile of firewood, the whole Liujiatun erupted immediately. The panicked and unaware of what happened, the troops from all walks of life were not fully familiar with the terrain. Things were turbulent for a while. Although the officers tried their best to restrain the actions of their soldiers and strengthen their vigilance, they still didn't know what happened in their hearts.
From the corner of his eye, Cheriff, who fell to the ground, saw the group of soldiers who suddenly erupted after baptizing his guards with a rain of arrows. The volley rushed towards him, and the gloomy light of the cold weapon brought bursts of light, which didn't make Cherif feel much pain, and the cold passing through his throat made him lose his senses. Seeing the general clutching his throat and lying in a pool of blood, he roared and rushed up with his blood-red eyes, and immediately fought with the enemy soldiers in the same clothes. In the dark, the Kamans could not tell the difference. The description of the other party's appearance can only be subconsciously beheaded, causing the entire camp to be in chaos.
The consequences of the death of the main general were disastrous. For a time, the Kaman army's 30,000 troops were leaderless, coupled with the poor communication in the dark and the unfamiliar terrain, the atmosphere of panic filled the entire barracks. The enemy army in the center of the camp took advantage of the situation and set fire everywhere, and the entire garrison immediately fell into uncontrollable chaos.
Zhan Botao was full of gratitude to Kang Jianguo. If Kang Jianguo hadn't suggested that he bring some costumes of the captured Kamanians for fishing in troubled waters, he would not have won such a beautiful battle.
Watching the wolf-running Kamans collapse in front of the Tubu cavalry wielding maces, losing the unified command of the coach and falling into chaos, the Kaman army barely survived after encountering the roaring Tubu cavalry The formation of any effective defensive circle collapsed. The Eighth Corps was originally a new Corps, and had hardly participated in any major battles before the Southern Expedition, and this time the Southern Expedition also intentionally allowed them to exercise, but the successive blows made them gain some experience, but it was unfavorable for the battle. It also shattered the arrogance they had developed in the country. Seeing the nomadic cavalry who came and went without a trace continued to inflict heavy blows on their own troops, Marshal Nick, who was regarded as a god-man, was also helpless in the face of embarrassing logistical supplies. They regained some confidence in the counterattack, harassment and ambushes, but when the crisis came, their performance was indeed not comparable to those elites who had really experienced countless **** battles of life and death.
The Sixth Cavalry Regiment divided into three attacking arrows roared and rushed towards the dispersed Kaman army. Because the attack came so suddenly and the time for stationing was so short, the Kaman people hadn't even been able to After completing the simplest fortifications, without such defensive lines as ditches and deer stockade fences, the entire Kaman army is like a big meal in front of the Western Frontier Army. Three sharp razors will immediately kill the crowded Kaman The army was divided into countless small pieces, and after repeated cuts back and forth several times, only a few thousand people were left in the Kaman army of 30,000 people, still struggling to resist with the help of some private houses and simple fortifications~IndoMTL.com~Dang Zhan Botao After completing the encirclement and launching an attack by the divisions directly under the Southern Terok Army, these futile resistance seemed so weak and insignificant.
On the night of January 26, 699 in the mainland, the Battle of Liujiatun ended with the victory of the Xijiang Army. Viscount Cherif, the commander of the Eighth Corps of the Kaman Empire, who was in charge of the defense of Liujiatun, was assassinated in the camp. As a result, the entire Kaman side lost the center of unified and coordinated command, and the nomadic cavalry in the western borders followed. Taking advantage of this opportunity to the extreme, interspersed and divided, destroyed the line of defense, and demoralized, and finally arrived at the division directly under Nanjie Rock. Surprisingly, only less than 3,000 people managed to escape, setting a record for the Nanjieluk Front Army to annihilate the enemy at one time.
Li Wufeng, who was inspecting military affairs and defense in Merrington, clapped his hands and laughed happily when he heard the news. The officers and men of the divisions directly under Terok and the Sixth Cavalry Regiment were rewarded with fifty gold coins each, and a second-class Jinpeng Medal and 3,000 imperial gold coins were awarded to Bo Jinchen, the commander-in-chief of the Terok Front Army, and Nan Jielu Kang Jianguo, the commander of the army, Zhan Botao, the deputy commander and the commander of the division directly under him, and Mao Li, the commander of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, each received a three-level Jinpeng medal and 1,000 imperial gold coins each.
The Battle of Liujiatun marked the official beginning of the second phase of the Northern Campaign, and also marked the beginning of a substantive phase in Li Wufeng's massive campaign to remove the main obstacle to his advance into the Central Plains.
