Cows and horses were everywhere, and the excitement was high.
The small hill was crowded with cows and horses, and the stench of their bodies mixed with the stench of feces and urine was so stinky that it could stand up to the wind.
No way, special needs.
After a simple night's rest, Jia Hui set out on the road with more than 500 cattle and more than 700 horses that had been recruited or purchased.
After marching all the way, 5,000 elite cavalry and more than 1,000 cattle and horses have arrived more than 200 miles west of Basu for two days.
According to Ye Bu's intelligence, Chahan Danjin's headquarters also started to go back, and they would be here in about two days.
Different from the troops buried in the snow before.
The first troops to evacuate were mainly infantry. Because this group of people did not move fast and were still the backbone, Chahan Danjin asked them to retreat first.
They should retreat first, and then use the remaining 60,000 cavalry to attack Liu Zhen's troops with high maneuverability, so that they lose the ability to pursue, and then begin to retreat to the plateau in an orderly manner.
Facts have proved that in terms of commanding the army, Chahan Danjin is indeed better than Liu Zhi.
The irritated Liu Zhuang led his troops to attack the scattered Heshuo special forces. Even Meizhou City, where Chahandanjin was stationed, was recaptured by Liu Zhuang, but it had no effect.
After leaving the city, Chahan Danjin had no intention of fighting him head-on, and the Heshuote army still harassed him day and night.
Then they continued to retreat in batches, and Chahan Danjin's headquarters also pretended to be defeated again and again, moving in the direction of Garze.
The excited Liu Tie got up and thought that it was his constant attacks that had driven back the Heshuote army, so he charged even more vigorously.
He rushed deeper and deeper, and finally his communication with Jinguan City was cut off. He was unable to order the rest of the troops, and the other troops were unable to contact him.
The generals who saw the Heshuote Army's intentions could only worry. It wasn't that they didn't look for him, but that Liu Zhi rushed too fast and couldn't catch up.
By the time Liu Ting realized this, it was already too late.
When pursuing Chahan Danjin to Tianquan County, Liu Zhuang tried his old trick again. When he smashed the army formation on the opposite side, he was defeated by the army that suddenly rushed out from both sides, and more than 3,000 corpses were lost. When he led his team to break out of the encirclement to the east, they found that Feixian Pass had been taken away by the Heshuo special army again and was made into dumplings.
Abandoning the corpses of another four thousand people, he hurriedly ran north again, and was intercepted by the Chahan Danjin headquarters hiding in Lushan County. Liu Zhu fought desperately to break through. He was worthy of being the most brave general in the southwest. Liu Zhu defeated Heshuote's army alive. The right army ran into Tiantai Mountain with more than 80 people.
After this battle, only more than 80 of the 10,000 cavalrymen escaped, including Liu Zhi, and the southwest cavalry force was completely wiped out.
The southwest official army, which did not have much cavalry in the first place, completely became a pure infantry army.
Liu Zhen and other talents, who had been savages in the Tiantai Mountains for a few days, returned to the Qi Army's actual control area.
Only then did he realize that the Heshuote Army was pretending to be defeated and actually retreating.
The most important thing is that he never found out that he was taken advantage of, and in the end, he was even tricked by 10,000 cavalry.
I regret that my intestines are blue.
There is no point regretting it. 26 days after the infantry retreated, the Heshuote cavalry also embarked on their return journey.
. . . . . .
Chahan Danjin has been particularly proud recently.
After more than thirty years, he finally defeated the old enemy who scattered his troops and wiped them out in the Battle of Hexi.
At that time, he followed the Great Khan into the Hexi region, but was defeated by the coalition forces of the four towns led by Jia Daishan, and fled back to the plateau in panic.
If Lazang Khan's nightmare is Jia Daishan, then his old enemy of Chahan Danjin is Liu Zhi.
Back then, they each encountered ten thousand cavalry. How could the two young and energetic people hold back? They bumped into each other without saying a word.
Then he was defeated by Liu Ting.
Since then, Chahan Danjin has been collecting information about Liu Zhi.
He even sent congratulatory gifts to Liu Zhen when he got married and gave birth to children.
Finally, after more than thirty years of continuous research, he Chahan Danjin finally defeated Liu Zhi.
The thoughts are clear and the mind is refreshed.
She left the body of the beautiful young man and got dressed under his service.
He led the remaining nearly 50,000 cavalry to leave Basu County and headed west.
Nearly fifty thousand…
Although he had eaten ten thousand of Liu's cavalry, which was barely enough for one, he was still heartbroken!
Sixty thousand against ten thousand was still a loss of 1 to 1 or even faster than 1 to 2, which made him feel that defeating Liu Zhi was not so proud.
Fortunately, they captured a large amount of cavalry equipment. After returning to Sunlight City to inventory and store these items, they will definitely be installed in their direct troops as soon as possible.
What can Baolid, who is fighting a bad war in the north, fight against me?
Feeling better again.
Tsk tsk, the servants in Qi served well, but they were much more obedient than those on the plateau. How about exploring it again at night?
After playing as a maid for decades, he is no longer interested. Now he likes the maid more and more.
. . . . . .
"Inform the general, the cavalry of the Eastern Army of Heshuote has passed the Eighth Night!"
"Report! The enemy is still sixty miles away from our army!"
"The entire army is wearing armor!"
Jia Hui was wearing medium armor and holding the horse that had already put on the vest.
In order to reduce weight and increase combat duration, Jia Hui did not use the original all-iron vest.
He found some thick felt and put it on the horse, and only used iron armor on the chest.
After actual testing, the defense on both sides of the horse was somewhat reduced, but the horse's endurance and speed were significantly improved compared to the all-iron armor.
The 500 sets of medium and heavy armor brought were all fully equipped, and Jia Hui was ready to lead the armored cavalry personally.
However, Jia Hui did not choose to wear heavy armor. Instead, he chose to wear a piece of chain armor inside the medium armor. This armor was ripped off from the captured Lhasang Khan.
Thank nature for its gifts.
With a pair of chain armor and a pair of medium armor, the defensive power has exceeded that of simple heavy armor, and the weight is even lighter than heavy armor.
Jia Hui originally wanted all the five hundred people he brought to be dressed like this, but he had no choice. All the armor on the plateau had been taken out to fight, and there was only a clump of rust left in the entire arsenal.
The army he brought with him, before departure, only brought a large amount of light armor, more than 400 sets of medium armor, and 50 sets of heavy armor. In order to reduce the logistical pressure, he only brought a few pairs of chain armor, and most of them were private armor.
But these chain-mailed Qi soldiers all chose to join Jia Hui's five hundred men, dressed in the same clothes as Jia Hui, and lined up on the side of the entire vanguard.
The follow-up troops wear light armor and are not tired from wearing them, so they put on armor early this morning.
Medium armor and heavy armor are a bit burdensome, and they won't penetrate the armor until the battle is about to begin.
I saw the five hundred pioneers behind Jia Hui beginning to skillfully wear each other's armor. Before long, everyone had put on their armor and stood beside the horses.
"Everyone, I won't say anything more. Everyone knows that if we let this group of people enter the plateau, all our efforts will be wasted, and our lives may even be at risk. Therefore, we must kill them in this mountainous area. Come on, think about the military exploits we fought in the past few days, think about the captures made in these days, and then think about the wives, children, and children at home. This battle can only be won, not defeated. The whole army listens to the order and sets off!"
"Da Qi will be victorious!"
"Da Qi will be victorious!"
. . . . . .
Chahan Danjin was a little anxious. The scouts he sent out had not come back to report for a long time. He also sent more than one wave, but none of them came back.
Chahan Danjin knew that something big had happened.
It seems that the Great Khan has been captured. Otherwise, he would have come to find him long ago, and he wouldn't have just found out that Qi Ren was coming.
However, looking at the fifty thousand cavalry behind him, Chahan Danjin did not take the upcoming battle seriously.
According to his estimate, there would be no more than ten thousand people on the plateau. If they fought all the way here, they would lose half of them no matter what. What was behind him? It was an elite force of 60,000 that killed 10,000 cavalry of the famous Qi general Liu Zhi. He did not believe that this Qi general who came could be more difficult to deal with than Liu Zhi!
But he still ordered all men to wear armor and prepare for battle.
It's one thing to look down on it, but it's another thing to challenge it.
All those who had armor put on their armor, regardless of the rules. Chahan Danjin also sent people to distribute all the armor captured from Liu Zhi, and gathered all the armored soldiers to the front army, about 16,000 people.
March to the corner of a large mountain.
The sound of horse hooves across the corner struck everyone's heart.
Both sides tacitly stopped marching.
There was silence for a while.
"Attack!" Chahan Danjin was the first to give the order. He still had nearly 50,000 troops and 16,000 armored soldiers, so there were plenty of opportunities for trial and error.
When the soldiers heard the order, they picked up their spears, knocked the horse's belly and began to accelerate.
Taking the vanguard general Zan Xinya as the arrowhead, the Yafeng Formation was gradually formed.
Suddenly there was a cry from the opposite side, and then, a muffled sound no less than that of one's own cavalry charging, accompanied by bursts of howls, came from the opposite side.
Zan Xinya felt something was wrong.
For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong on the other side. But as the war horse accelerated, the only option left when stopping was to be hit and crushed to pieces by the cavalry behind. Zan Xingya could only continue to rush forward.
Suddenly, a group of huge flaming bodies turned the corner.
A group of yaks burning with flames!
"Not good!" Zan Xinya was shocked!
He immediately dropped his spear, grabbed the reins tightly, and clamped his legs around the horse's belly.
Whether you live or die depends on your own riding skills!
Zan Xingya knew that this group of yaks had gone crazy and could do nothing but run wildly and crash into anything that moved.
Unless they are relieved or die, the flames on their bodies are constantly burning their bodies, making them want to die, making them angry all the time.
The cavalry behind them also saw the fire bull formation charging towards them and were shocked!
Immediately imitate the movements of the general in front. Life and death depend on riding skills.
No one chose to rein in their horses. When it came to being knocked down and trampled to a pulp by the people behind them or trying their luck to survive, everyone chose the latter.
The Fire Ox Array was getting closer and closer to Zan Xinya, and he seemed to have seen the sizzling oily back and the blood-red eyes of the bull.
Boom!
With a muffled sound, Zan Xingya flew into the sky and landed in the crowd. He knocked over several cavalrymen and brought them to the ground. They were trampled by the hoofs of the horses behind them and gradually became a puddle mixed with broken iron pieces. and cloth meat, and then, the flaming cow hooves stepped on it, igniting the fat squeezed out of the meat. After a while, the whole place began to be filled with the burning aroma of barbecue.
From the sky, the Fire Bull Formation just stopped the galloping army, as if it had no effect, but in fact, the huge inertia caused by the galloping horses hit everyone, and countless riders and their horses were squeezed into The patties came together and blended together.
The losses were heavy, especially for the troops in the middle of the formation. I thought that hiding in the middle would increase the chance of survival, but this time it turned out to be a reminder.
The people behind could not see what was going on in front, and without knowing anything, they suddenly bumped into their companions in front, and were hit on the back by the brother behind them, causing their chests to deflate in an instant.
Instead, the people and horses on both sides squeezed out along the sides of the mountain, leaving nothing but a few scratches.
Before the survivors had time to rejoice, another group of horses dragging flames rushed forward.
The subconscious team formed through years of fighting brought them together on the road again. They suddenly missed the blank slate they had just joined the army.
He closed his eyes resignedly.
Flying into the sky with the whine of the war horse under his crotch.
The horses crowded the corner tightly, and the ones in front immediately chased after them, causing a wall of horses to hit the cavalry one after another. They all fell to the ground with blood vomiting at the mouth.
Finally, the last burning war horse fell a hundred steps in front of Chahan Danjin.
The stunned Chahan Danjin realized that he had encountered a tough situation today.
The vanguard troops began to gather together, and finally found that there were less than 2,000 horsemen left who could move.
The remaining 14,000 people were either killed on the spot.
Either they were squeezed together, and the survivors were spitting out pieces of internal organs and unconsciously moving their arms with broken bones.
Or he was burned alive by the flames that accidentally touched his body, including people and horses.
More than 10,000 corpses were constantly squeezed, and as the cavalry behind them were pushed and bumped into each other, they bulged up, forming a mountain of corpses. Filled the entire valley.
The entire valley was filled with the smell of barbecue, and the wind blew in the direction of the Eastern Army.
The wind smelled like vomit again.
"Everyone, rush for me..." Chahan Danjin once again felt the powerlessness of his entire army being annihilated, but when he saw the pair of rotten flesh in front of the road, he still gave up the attack.
"Clean the battlefield." Chahan Danjin ordered with a sullen face.
After rethinking the situation, he found that he could only rush forward.
There are towering cliffs on both sides, and there is only one path to walk on.
When you reach the corner, some gentle slopes appear, and it's not until you turn the corner that you emerge into the mountain col.
That group of Qi dogs who killed a thousand swords was in that mountain col.
It would definitely be too late to retreat to Basu. Retreating would only cause Qi's dog to bite him in the back and chase him. The narrow mountain road made it impossible to deploy military formations, so he could only fight the Qi army with a fixed number of people.
Chahan Danjin was dejected and could only face the Qi army head-on.
Even if he is an enemy, Chahan Danjin would also like to praise the opponent's general. He chose the place so well.
Others hurriedly went to get water from the rivers on both sides of the road. When the fire was almost done, they poured the water on the pair of burned objects that were still burning, covering the burning flames. The smell was suddenly aroused, and the smell of vomiting was aroused. It suddenly became much richer, and when the smoke from the carbon team dissipated, the smell of barbecue was gone.
But Heshuotejun felt that this smell was all on his clothes and in his nose.
The bodies were soon cleared to both sides of the road.
The soldiers who were scared out of their wits did not dare to fight anymore. Chahan Danjin also understood and asked them to take off their armor and give them to the more than 2,000 people behind. Chahan Danjin suddenly changed his face. He ordered these cowards to be killed in front of the formation.
The morale has finally been stabilized, at least it won't get any worse.
"Army attack!"
Although it was still the same order, the horse's speed was much slower this time.
Soon, the soldiers discovered that there were no more fire-ox formations or fire-horse formations, and their hearts that were stuck in their throats finally returned to their original positions.
The horse's speed reached its highest level again.
Finally turned the corner and saw the Qi army waiting in formation. It looked like there weren't many people.
Picking up their spears and lowering their bodies, the soldiers were already thinking about what they would look like after hitting the Qi army formation.
"The archer is ready to shoot!" Jia Hui waved his hand, and all the bow holders, including himself, picked up their bows and arrows and hid them on both sides.
"Pick up the bow and arrow, draw the bow, and release!" Jia Hui ordered when the Eastern Army was approaching about a hundred steps away.
The archers at the rear immediately raised their bows and arrows from both sides in unison, and fired their swords after receiving Jia Hui's order.
The heavy arrows from the hard bow easily penetrated the light armor of the Heshuote army. Everyone was a well-trained professional warrior, and they successfully fired two more volleys before the enemy army hit them.
The last soldier's horse was shot to death and flung away. He fell in front of Jia Hui and was stabbed to death with a spear.
The entire army of Heshuote soldiers was wiped out.
