Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 20: Broken Halberd
The 50,000 army led by Kurdo has quietly gathered on the grassland ten miles away from the shore of Boyue Lake with the help of the dawn. If they go forward, they may encounter the scout team of the Tanghe people. He didn't dare to take any risks, so he had to restrain his troops in this lowland area. If the whereabouts of more than 50,000 people were to be completely hidden from everyone, Kurdo was not sure, but war was a gamble, and he had to gamble. I hope that Li Wufeng will not deploy too many troops on the defense line of the granary. Even if it is a division, Kurdo is quite confident that he can break through. After all, his purpose is not to wipe out the opponent, but to break through and burn the enemy's logistics supplies while taking advantage of the situation. Even if it ends successfully.
The loud shouts of killing in the distance indicated that the fighting on the frontal front had reached its climax. It seemed that Guldan was also aware of the consequences of this battle. If he could not defeat the people of Tanghe, his The position of the chief is definitely hard to guarantee. The 150,000 troops gathered in the Tanghe people's frontal battlefield, as long as they display their due strength, it should be said that they can cause quite a lot of trouble for Li Wufeng.
Taking a deep breath, Kurdo tightened the belt around his waist, and the shiny black iron spear in the gun pouch hanging obliquely on the horse's belly lay there quietly waiting for the master's call. Calling, it's time. Seeing the last batch of scouts galloping forward, Kurdo murmured silently in his heart, the outcome depends on whether God is on his side or not.
The news brought by the scouts made Kurdo feel mixed. He was happy to find that the Northwest Army near the granary had been mobilized. The fighting on the frontal battlefield had entered the most intense time. It is estimated that Li Wufeng had already mobilized some troops to join the frontal battlefield. What is worrying is that the frontal battlefield has suffered heavy losses, and in order to prevent being noticed by the other side, the scout team did not dare to get too close to the granary. It is unknown how the troops near the granary are mobilized.
The spies near the granary also proved this point. In the past few days, the situation of the garrison near the granary has not changed much, and the enemy has not been found to be alert. Targeted fortifications. This point made Kurdo more at ease. What he worried most was that the other party designed a trap for his own side to drill, so he especially asked the Mott people to use various forces to monitor and investigate the situation inside. Although the Tanghe people took strict precautions, But after all, with such a large scope, it should be possible to learn about any major actions such as transferring food, grass and supplies.
Now there is no way out, no matter whether there is a trap ahead or what I want, I have to fight. Signaling the flag bearer to wave the big flag, the soldiers who had been on alert all sorted out their weapons and armor one after another, and began to enter the battle state, making final preparations for the charge.
With the sound of the low-pitched horn, the 50,000 cavalry in the crane wing attack formation began to slowly start. Give the enemy the shortest preparation time. After all, it is obviously impossible for the huge noise caused by the attack of more than 50,000 people not to be noticed by the highly vigilant Northwest Army. The only way is to reduce their preparation time as much as possible. , Completely destroy their defense line with lightning speed, and then burn the food and grass they depend on for survival in one fell swoop.
"Are you here?" Sha Lang asked while standing between the circles of carriages, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
"Return to the division commander, the enemy cavalry has already started, and they are speeding up now, and they are rushing towards us. They are coming very fiercely." Follow up report.
"Okay, good time!" Sha Lang was so happy that he patted the opponent's shoulder heavily, and then gave the order to the commander, "Order all the wings to prepare, and the two brigades of the fifth wing will be the reserve team. Ready to attack!"
The densely packed cavalry lined up in a neat formation and rushed towards the defense circle of the granary in the northwest that seemed to have not had time to react. The 10,000 Mott armored cavalry with poor equipment was still the first, and a few thin pieces of iron A pair of leaf armor and a pair of heart goggles are added, and a pair of chain mail is only hung on the chest of the horse under the crotch. This is the complete equipment of the Mott armored cavalry. Many soldiers even have spears in their hands before the battle. It was provided free of charge by the Sithrows and replaced the wooden-handled iron guns they usually use. Mido's iron spear, the bare spear head is more than twice as long as the original spear head, and many spikes are added, which is stronger than the original junk in terms of weight and power Many, it is indeed a first-class weapon that can be stabbed or smashed.
Immediately behind the 10,000 Mott cavalry were the Robbie iron cavalry led by Kurdo. Their equipment was only slightly better than that of the Mott cavalry. Only the horse's chest was equipped with armor, and a round shield was buckled obliquely on the horse's back. Out of various concerns, the experienced Kurdo put his men on the second line, although he could not see any doubts ahead. Let your men try to keep a certain distance from the first-line Mott cavalry.
The distance is getting closer and closer, even the granary seems to be in the distance, and the panicked figure of the other party seems to be visible on the horizon, as if he is forming an formation to protect himself. Kuerdo felt ecstatic in his heart, and wanted to zoom in and take a closer look. Subconsciously, he whipped the whip to speed up the speed of the horse under his crotch. Seeing that the general speeded up, the soldiers behind him also speeded up.
Looking forward with his ups and downs, Kurdo's heart thumped secretly. A thick black line seemed to appear in front of him. What is that? Kurdo opened his eyes wide to see clearly, but he still couldn't tell what those things were? Could it be that the enemy built an earthen wall temporarily, but the scouts just received the report and did not find the enemy to build fortifications? Could it be that the people of Tanghe could have earth-shaking abilities in just half an hour? Kurdo couldn't believe it. With a strong sense of foreboding, Kurdo quietly lowered his speed again, but the soldiers who were in a state of excitement didn't seem to feel the general's worry, and kept urging the horses under their crotches to increase their speed.
At this time, the skilled horse skills of the Mott people have been greatly displayed. Thousands of hooves fell to the ground, stirring up yellow dust all over the sky. The horses seem to be performing a unified dance, and the dancing steps turn into infinite murderous intent. The warriors who have inspired infinite blood begin to make the final acceleration. Anything blocking the front will be trampled into powder in front of their iron cavalry. Not enough to stop their progress!
Standing on a high place, Shalang stared coldly at the front. The riding skills of the Mott people really made him amazed. As a Tang people, it is difficult to compare with these people who have lived on horseback since birth. This is the innate talent of the nomads, but no matter how good the cavalry is, it must be commanded by a good master. Any arm has unavoidable shortcomings and deficiencies. If you use your own strengths to attack the enemy's strengths, the process is even There are some twists and turns, but its ending is already doomed.
When dodging the oncoming arrow rain and throwing guns, what caught the eyes of the Mott cavalry was a series of interlocking transport vehicles towering in front of them. The earth bag was removed, and the thick transport vehicle defense line was like a huge city wall guarding the Tanghe people hiding behind the vehicle. The overwhelming arrows and spears kept splashing blood among the bewildered Mott cavalry group.
At this moment, Kurdo's pupils shrank suddenly, and his dull eyes looked forward blankly. The huge stimulation made him unable to accept this cruel reality for a while, and he was fooled again! After seeing clearly the solid defense line organized by vehicles~IndoMTL.com~ Ku Erdo felt infinite sorrow in his heart, and once again he fell in the hands of his old enemy. No wonder the opponent did not make any preparations without fear I was afraid that my every move would be under the surveillance of the other party, and I deliberately set up this trick to let myself get caught. It's ridiculous that I thought I could get rid of my past shame, but I didn't expect to end up in an even more miserable situation.
Wave after wave of offensive pounced on the vehicle defense line filled with earthbags, and the Mott cavalry, who had no way of retreating, were in a mess, but the soldiers' self-esteem still prompted them to smash with their weapons desperately. Holding the wooden carriage, hoping to break the cage, but this seems meaningless. The vehicles interlocked with iron rings form three lines of defense, and each line of defense is separated by a few meters. Waves of arrows The rain poured out from here, and the infantry responsible for protecting the archers easily killed those Mott soldiers who managed to break through the line of defense on the spot. This was an unsuspecting and asymmetrical war. The coalition army is like a moth that jumps on a spider's web. Once it is stained, it cannot escape, and it will die step by step.
Kurdo, who was so depressed that he almost committed suicide, struggled for a long time, and finally gave up this seemingly tragic act. He couldn't do this. This basic purpose has been achieved, his subordinates have only encountered a few waves of arrow rain attacks, and still retain their combat effectiveness, but at this time the general situation is over, and it is purely suicide to resist here. Without thinking much, he categorically ordered Mo The special people retreated, let the Mott people hold back the Tanghe people to give him more time, so that Li Wufeng's rear could not be used in time, when the northwest cavalry from the two wings came, Luo Bei, who had already fled far away The cavalry had disappeared beyond the horizon.
