Turbulent Times Chapter 317: Nestorian reappearance
(Thank you very much for the generous support and monthly ticket support of "No Self World")
"Before driving these people to the army formation, we need to use these people to attack the camp next to the Tuyuhun Iron Mine..."
Little Shitou let out a loud cry, re-stringed the crossbow and bow, and continued to shoot.
The merchants and Tuyuhun people who couldn't escape fell to the ground one after another, and then were trampled by the surging crowd.
Running, shooting, driving... There are two hundred people doing the same thing...
Wu San seemed to be strolling in the crowd, every time he swung his long knife, a head flew up into the air, and then fell into the crowd, thus creating a bigger commotion.
The surprise attack can only cause short-term confusion. After these merchants and their entourages, as well as the Tuyuhun people and the two hundred skeleton soldiers, they have stabilized their positions. They and the Tuhun people immediately launched a counterattack against Wu San and his party under the leadership of their respective leaders.
For a while, arrows flew like locusts in the dirty but bustling market.
Two thousand skeleton army cavalry rushed out from behind nearly ten thousand people gathered in the market, and two thousand horses neighed and charged into the crowd. Drive away desperately.
At this moment, the iron mining area of Golmud was full of smoke and killing sounds. The Hannu and slaves of other ethnic groups who remained in the mining area also rioted at the same time. They used hammers, hoes, and forks , iron rods, and wooden sticks, used all available weapons to attack the Tuyuhun supervisors who tortured them in the past like a lunatic.
In the barracks of the Tyuhun people next to the iron mine, the horn sounded at this moment, and a group of about 1,000 Tuyuhun warriors rushed towards the iron mine. However, just after the thousand troops left the camp, two thousand skeleton cavalry drove nearly ten thousand people towards the Tuyuhun military camp.
The chased caravans and Tuyuhun people, who had no way to enter the ground, crossed the shallow trenches before they set foot on the land of the Tuyuhun military camp, and were shot down by dense spikes.
Following the order of Wu San who gathered with two thousand subordinates, after the first rocket fell into the Tuyuhun camp with black smoke in the sky, the two thousand rockets took off into the sky again.
In almost an instant, a large group of caravans and Tuyuhun people were driven into the Tuyuhun military camp. They did not intend to stay here, and ran to the other side of the military camp by stepping on the Tuyuhun people's cowhide tents like a tide.
After a rain of rockets, Wu San rushed into the barracks of the Tuyuhun people with two thousand skeleton cavalry.
At this moment, thick smoke was billowing from the nearby Golmud Iron Mine Area, and the sound of slaughter was overwhelming. Nearly 20,000 miners were entangled with a thousand Tuyuhun troops. The ability and origin of the miner leader named Zhao Dongyang has been re-evaluated.
The battle at the barracks is still in full swing. There are only 3,000 troops left in the Tuyuhun barracks. Driven by the two thousand skeleton army, the caravans of various ethnic groups and the people of Tuyuhun disrupted their formation, not to mention directly blocking their charge formation, but the two thousand skeleton army led by Wu San followed closely behind the chaotic crowd. In the end, he was caught off guard by killing these two thousand Tuyuhun warriors.
This is the tactic that Wu San led the Skeleton Army to carefully study and decide. Now it seems that the effect is very good. With the number of people on both sides being equal, Tuyuhun was at a disadvantage from the very beginning, and one was eliminated. Long, with the increase of their casualties, the disastrous defeat is only a matter of time, unless the 7,000 main forces led away by Li Xiang can arrive in time.
After the first two rounds of charging, the tactics of the two thousand cavalry of the Skeleton Army changed rapidly. Bows and arrows are the main weapon to kill the enemy. Once the encirclement is reduced, there will be javelins and hatchets as the last means of attack.
The entire combat process is like peeling off the skin of bamboo shoots, eliminating the enemy layer by layer until the enemy is completely killed. This tactic itself was also one of the tactics that Wang Junlin led Gaotai City to study.
The main force of the seven thousand Tuyuhun was not led too far by Li Xiang, and although Wu San, Su Changqing, and Jiang Mulang tried their best to block Golmud, the number of people was limited after all, and the possibility of someone running out from the blockade to ask for help was very high. With the speed of 7,000 Tuyuhun cavalry, it only takes one day to get the news.
Therefore, Wu San led the skeleton army and did not dare to make more entanglements here, and must make a quick decision.
Following Wu San's roar, the skeleton cavalry surrounding the Tuyuhun people drew out their short spears one after another, without aiming, they directly threw themselves into the Tuyuhun camp in the encirclement.
With such short spears, the cavalry of Gaotai City and the Skeleton Army have the same upper and lower equipment. Each person has three spears. Less than thirty feet in diameter.
After the short spears and short axes, Wu San roared an order, and then the two thousand skeleton army brandished extended horizontal knives and rushed into the enemy group from all directions, for the final hand-to-hand combat...
Hiding behind another nearby hill from beginning to end, the two thousand Gaotai City cavalry led by Su Changqing and Jiang Mulang did not show up. Their existence was originally prepared for the main force of the 7,000 Tuyuhun people, and it was also to cover the retreat of the skeleton army in case the main force of the Tuyuhun people arrived. These days, after the 3,000 cavalrymen of Gaotai City destroyed more than a dozen main forces of Tuyuhun, they were able to retreat smoothly with little damage, which was inseparable from the cover of the skeleton army, and now it was their turn to cover the skeleton army.
Wu San once again realized that he underestimated the 20,000 mine slaves led by Zhao Dongyang, because they actually killed a thousand Tuyuhun soldiers, although they themselves killed nearly ten thousand for this. But you must know that they are not the army, but miners. It is unreasonable for so many people to die without collapse.
This surprised Wu San, who had to wonder who Zhao Dongyang was, what he did on a daily basis, why he had such a high prestige among the miners, and his organizational skills were so strong, and what happened next While causing Wu San's pupils to shrink, he also understood the reason.
The more than 10,000 miners who survived crawled on the ground towards Zhao Dongyang with fanatical faces, threw their bodies to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Heavenly King..."
"Nestorianism...it's him...the great disciple of King Boduo in Huaxia and the person in charge of Nestorianism in the Sui Dynasty. He was originally the head of a small clan in Guanzhong. When the relationship between this person and Nestorian was found out, Emperor Yang Jian was furious and sent a large army to destroy the entire Zhao family, but the Zhao family's descendants mysteriously disappeared, and unexpectedly they were among the Tuyuhun mine slaves." A piece of information suddenly came to mind, and Wu The three hearts suddenly realized that they had a clear understanding of Zhao Dongyang's identity, and at the same time, their fears increased greatly.
