Turbulent Times Chapter 284: Stalker
Xue Qiluo's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile: "That's good. Tomorrow morning, we will start besieging and killing the opponent's sentry outside Shifengzhai, and try to delay the time for the opponent to know that our reinforcements are coming. As long as we The men and horses have arrived, hmph, Shifengzhai will be in my pocket."
After receiving Qiming Khan's order, Yi Shibo, Xue Qiluo and his son began to plan how to take Shifengzhai out of various reasons and considerations.
They first demonstrated against Shifengzhai with 3,000 subordinates, intimidating the other side not to go to war, and then divided up their troops to loot, burned and killed them all, and used the corpses of Sui people to anger the other's general. People who are civil servants or veterans who have led troops for many years will definitely not make such useless efforts, but Niu Jinda is different. This young man who has just taken office, is young and aggressive, and it is the first time he has experienced such things as standing on the top of the city and watching people being killed. Can't live?
Testing Niu Jinda to lead some of the troops in Shifengzhai to battle, and then firmly restraining him. Whether he can be eliminated is the second most important thing. The main thing is to block his way back to Shifengzhai, and then he secretly said that he had already prepared The soldiers and horses in the vicinity tried to take down Shifengzhai with a thunderous blow.
…
…
Beside a village fifty miles away, more than ten hours have passed since the first confrontation between the two sides. Niu Jinda went from excitement at the beginning, to anxiety later, and now to confusion. The Turkic cavalry didn't want to attack his infantry phalanx hard. Every time they tried it, they didn't leave. They always kept him within the range where they could fight at any time. Having the initiative on the battlefield completely in the opponent's hands made him feel extremely annoyed, thinking that it would be great if he also had a thousand-man cavalry army. But the reality is that there is no such thing. After a day of contact, his cavalry lost dozens of people, and now they can basically only protect the infantry's flanks while conducting guerrillas.
What is the other party going to do? Niu Jinda fell into deep thought, watching the tired-looking soldiers sitting on the ground, mechanically chewing dry food and drinking clear water. The Turkic cavalry on the opposite side was not much better. Both sides were exhausted, but they had to maintain a high degree of alert.
Why is this Turkic dog thief stalking and beating like this? This is not in line with the Turkic people's usual combat style of coming and going like the wind, and through these few fights with the opposite general, it is obvious that the opponent is an extremely shrewd character, but why did they choose such a strategy that is obviously extremely harmful to the Turkic people? What about unfavorable play? What does the other party want to do? What is the purpose?
Niu Jinda stood up irritably, his eyes could not help turning to the direction of Shifengzhai.
Stone Wind Village! A layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on Niu Jinda's body, and his whole body felt cold. The other side wants to seize Shifengzhai, the purpose of this partial division is to drag his 2,000 main force here, Xue Qiluo's troops near Shifengzhai are definitely more than 3,000 troops, he must have soldiers in ambush, and take advantage of it. Take the opportunity to seize the military stronghold by yourself.
There are only a thousand soldiers and more than 10,000 civilians in the army camp.
Niu Jinda waved his hand and slapped himself on the face. The crisp voice immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers around him. They all looked at his captain strangely. Will be bewitched!
The whole army is ready to go back to Shifengzhai! Niu Jinda roared hoarsely.
Carter Xiong saw the movement of the opponent's army, and thought that his strategy of delaying time was finally seen through, and the next one would be a tough battle.
"Get on the horse! Attack! Fight to the death." Carter Bear ordered loudly.
The two sides did not have any temptations, and entered into a state of fierce and fierce fighting from the very beginning. After a day, the truth and reality of both sides were clearly felt, and there was no mystery at all. The horseshoes fluttered, Xue Yantuo soldiers no longer circled the formation, but slammed their horses fiercely into the hedgehog-like spear formation. The horse neighed, and was strangled by the knight to rush to death. The knight flew high, and the moment it landed on the tip of the spear, he threw the weapon in his hand, only to injure an enemy. If he was lucky, he fell into the gap and had no time to get up, so he fell to the ground and swung his weapon.
Carter, who pierced into the phalanx like an awl, did not rush far before being entangled by the infantry, and the cavalry who lost their speed immediately became fish out of the water, their spears flying, and a wave In the next wave, the knights were stabbed off one by one, and at the same time, the infantry in Shifengzhai were killed one by one, and the cavalry were also cut off by the opponent.
The screams of the dying, the wailing of the wounded, the drums beating like raindrops, and the crisp sound of weapons being handed over, all merged into this symphony of death on the battlefield.
At the end of a wave of attack, Carter turned his horse's head and counted the soldiers gathered around him. Just this round of attack, dozens of athletes stayed in the opponent's phalanx forever, and he couldn't help feeling distressed.
On the opposite side, the two phalanxes in front of the top slowly backed away until after the three phalanxes behind them, they began to rearrange their formation and formed a tight phalanx.
Carter Bear gave a wry smile and began to assemble his troops. As long as the opponent had the intention to retreat, he had no choice but to launch the next attack. This was an endless war.
As night fell, the two sides fought fiercely several times in a row. Each side left tens of hundreds of corpses on the battlefield, and Niu Jinda only retreated about ten miles in the direction of Shifengzhai. Because they were too exhausted, both sides had to stop to rest, accumulate strength, and prepare for the next round of fighting.
Niu Jinda's eyes were bloodshot, and his eyes were bloodshot. The previous three vicious fights were thrilling. Every time he went into battle in person, led his people to kill the enemy, and only then repelled the opponent's attack. The opponent suffered heavy casualties, but he himself did not Fortunately, according to this speed, the opponent is dead, and there are not many people left, so what if I return to Shifengzhai.
Looking at the night, Niu Jinda vaguely understood the truth that Wang Junlin once said that "compassion does not lead soldiers". Of course, the army is different, and the battlefield is different. For the sake of the overall situation and the safety of more people, sacrificing some people and some subordinate brothers is the most correct way. And he couldn't bear the people outside the city to be looted and killed by the Turks, it was wrong to take the main force out of the city, and now he couldn't make any more mistakes, so he made a difficult decision - to cut off his tail to survive.
…
…
On Shifengzhai, Tian Ming and Ren Junshuo were heartbroken by the billowing smoke and the troops appearing in sight one after another. Not only did they see a large number of Turkic cavalry, but to their horror, there were also a large number of Turkic people who did not ride horses, and they were guarding some large siege equipment.
Ren Junshuo closed his eyes in despair, looking at the opponent's troops, there were no less than 30,000 people.
