Turbulent Times Chapter 1376: Chasing and killing
But in this way, many soldiers of the first row of Whirlwind Battalion were still knocked into the air, and more than 300 people were killed or injured on the spot. However, it successfully blocked the charge of the Turkic cavalry cavalry.
The cavalry lost the advantage of charging, and the length of their weapons could not reach the soldiers of the Whirlwind Battalion holding long spears. Some Turkic cavalry cavalry threw their maces and iron bones before they died, but it didn't have much effect, and overturned more than a dozen soldiers of the Whirlwind Battalion.
But this still couldn't change the result of this strange infantry confrontation—the Turkic cavalry was defeated, and more than 20,000 cavalry were defeated by about 18,000 infantry from the Whirlwind Battalion.
When the last Turkic cavalry couldn't bear the casualties and the leader ordered to withdraw in embarrassment, Wang Junlin ordered Li Shimin and Wang Rengong to lead their respective cavalry to charge suddenly. Down, and back again.
The 20,000 cavalry retreated miserably in the face of more than 10,000 dismounted soldiers from the Far Eastern Army. This scene was seen by Ashina, but he was astonished, and his face was so gloomy that he could drip ink.
But it is impossible to turn around and retreat now, just send people to attack again, Ashina really doubts whether the strange infantry formation of the Far Eastern Army can be destroyed.
But no matter what, this decision had to be made, and Ashina sent another 30,000 horses to rush towards the infantry formation of the Tornado Battalion of the Far East Army.
Luo Shixin had already adjusted and exchanged the front nine thousand-man teams and the last nine thousand-man teams. The final result was naturally the same. The Turkic people returned after another disastrous defeat, but unlike before, this time the battle was halfway through. , Wang Junlin ordered Li Shimin and Wang Rengong to lead the cavalry to attack from the side, and the Turkic people on the opposite side also hurriedly sent reinforcements. Finally, the Turkic people left nearly 10,000 corpses and withdrew.
Wang Junlin did not let the army chase after him, waiting for the Turks to attack again.
Ashina found out sadly that he had the advantage in overall strength, and all of them were cavalry, but because of the Far Eastern Army on the opposite side, which could dismount and fight on foot, he was inexplicably at a disadvantage, especially the Far Eastern Army. More than 10,000 people dismounted and fought like diamonds
A nail stuck in his stomach made him extremely uncomfortable, but he was powerless to remove it.
Bowing his head in pain, Ashina said aggressively: "Command Agdor to lead five thousand men who dare to die, and let the others retreat, retreat..." His eyes were bloodshot, unwilling He gave an order in his heart, and after saying this, his teeth actually bit his lips.
Ashina aggressively ordered people to blow the horn to retreat, and all the soldiers of the Whirlwind Battalion, who were about to lose their strength, took a breath. Looking at the Turkic cavalry retreating like a tide, Wang Junlin smiled brightly.
Wang Junlin knew that based on his own troops and combat power, he was already at a disadvantage and could not stop the Turks from retreating, let alone stopping the Turks at this time would force every Turk to die If they were to be killed, even if all these Turkic people were beheaded, there might not be much left on their side. Such a result was not what Wang Junlin wanted to see.
Therefore, Wang Junlin did not pester the Turkic main force to retreat, but personally led all the cavalry to cover and kill them for a while, just like a pack of wolves, trying to kill as many Turkic cavalry as possible behind.
…
…
The Sui army headed by Li Shimin and Wang Rengong had 60,000 cavalrymen. In the past, they would not dare to chase the 130,000 to 40,000 Turkic cavalrymen, but now they dare to follow with 60,000 cavalrymen. The killing of more than 130,000 to 40,000 Turkic cavalry is naturally due to a series of victories today, especially behind them, after more than 17,000 soldiers from the Whirlwind Battalion got on their horses, they also chased them up, and most importantly, led them to chase after them. It was Wang Junlin who killed the Turks.
The Turkic people traveled thousands of miles away from their hometown, and fought for ten days, not to mention one-third of the casualties. Not to mention low morale, they also harbor resentment.
In addition, the most important thing is that they have just experienced a defeat, and it is better to say that they are fleeing than being forced to retreat.
On the other hand, the Sui army, with the feelings of defending their home and country, and killing the enemy and making meritorious deeds, all of them held their strength. The two sides ebb and flow, even if the strength and combat power
They were originally weaker than the Turkic cavalry, but the Sui army dared to catch up and bite the Turkic army bit by bit, striving to cause the largest possible loss to the Turkic army.
Just as Wang Junlin led his men to catch up, suddenly there was smoke and dust in front of him. A spy from the Military Intelligence Office had already sent back the information. About 5,000 Turkic cavalrymen who had broken up charged them back. Wang Junlin picked up the binoculars After reading it, I couldn't help but feel a sinking heart.
With his eyesight, he can tell at a glance that these 5,000 or so Turkic cavalry are daredevils selected by the opponent. It is nothing to kill these 5,000 or so Turkic cavalry, but most of them will be entangled for a long time time.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Junlin had already made a decision, and shouted: "The order is that Li Shimin and Wang Rengong's troops will stand in front of them for a while, and three thousand people from the Whirlwind Battalion will dismount and fight on foot, and form a battle formation as quickly as possible. "
The Far Eastern Army ordered the prohibition and acted very quickly. Li Shimin and Wang Rengong also immediately obeyed Wang Junlin's order. Out of charge, three thousand soldiers from the Whirlwind Battalion dismounted and lined up the infantry formation.
The dust was flying, and the five thousand Turkic dead soldiers couldn't see the specific situation of the Sui army at all. They only saw the Sui army rushing towards them when they were 800 paces away. At this distance, the cavalry of the Sui army could not increase their speed at all, and the combat power of the cavalry's charge was bound to be greatly affected.
However, the change in the next scene surprised the Turkic cavalry. When they were about 400 paces away, they saw the Sui cavalry suddenly turn the horse's head, split it into two, and gallop to both sides . The Turkic cavalry jumped in their hearts, knowing that something was wrong. Sure enough, after the Sui cavalry who were rushing towards them in front flashed to both sides, what was exposed in front of them was an infantry battle formation, which was exactly the same **** infantry battle formation as on the previous battlefield. Array.
The faces of the five thousand Turkic cavalrymen all changed drastically. The previous cavalry battle made them understand that the Sui Dynasty Far Eastern Army's spear battle formation was simply the nemesis of the Turkic cavalry who were not well armored. But under the current distance and speed, they couldn't stop at all, they could only continue to rush forward.
