"Boom, boom, boom!" Amidst the thunderous sound of horse hooves, a black line appeared at the end of the grassland. Without stopping, they swept towards the village where the Sui army was located with an overwhelming and unstoppable force.
After chasing for most of the day, Ni Luoyan was able to reach the Sui soldiers lined up at the entrance of the village. The fleeing Sui soldiers also ran in. He raised the sword in his hand and stopped Tuyuhun's advance. He narrowed his eyes slightly and glared fiercely at Sui Jun opposite him.
Nile Yanxu immediately stepped forward and looked at the surrounding terrain. He saw a vast grassland in front of the village entrance. At the gradually shrinking intersection, that is, right in front, the Sui soldiers waited until their own soldiers entered, and immediately set up simple horse-rejecting stakes. However, because they pursued too closely, they only had time to block the middle, and not both sides. , but judging from the efforts of the Sui army behind them, it seemed that they were going to block the entire intersection.
If they were to die at the intersection, they could only attack from both sides. Although the mountains on both sides were gentle, he knew the village well, and he also knew that the villagers deliberately covered both sides with gravel in order to prevent cavalry. If they attacked from both sides, they would hit the Sui army. plan.
"We can't let the Sui army block the intersection!" Ni Luoyan tightened his gaze and immediately gave the order to fight: "Warriors, today, we must let these hateful Sui people know that our Tuyuhun majesty does not tolerate minor offenses. Since they dare to kill us The Tuyuhun people should be prepared to be cut into pieces. Give them to me, and they will be cut into pieces after killing them all."
"Kill! Kill, kill!" Behind Niluoyan, more than 9,000 Tuyuhun warriors roared like wild beasts on horseback, charging towards the Sui soldiers on the opposite side.
The horses' hooves hit the ground like countless war drums beating, and the cavalry surged away like a torrent with an invincible and everything-destroying momentum.
Zong Luohu looked at the oncoming Tuyuhun people. The opponent's destructive aura could not move him at all. He immediately asked the soldiers to put down their things and retreated behind the Juma stake to set up an arrow array.
Just when the soldiers of the Sui army were making emergency deployment, the soldiers of the Tuyuhun army were getting faster and faster, and they were getting closer and closer to the horse-rejecting formation. The Tuyuhun soldiers waved their weapons and looked excitedly at the approaching military camp. That thin layer of horse resistance could not stop their attack at all, and these ridiculous and hateful Sui troops would definitely pay an unimaginable price for their ignorance and arrogance.
The war horse was no longer within an arrow's reach of Juma. The soldiers who were rushing forward drew their bows and loaded their arrows, preparing to fire the arrows. However, at this moment, the body of the war horse suddenly sank when they sat down, and they were thrown away fiercely. go out.
A skilled soldier immediately dropped his bow and arrow and rolled his body to avoid the horse's butt that was slamming at him.
After he avoided it, he looked forward and suddenly found that the ground was covered with ice holes the size of bowls. These ice caves were irregular in shape and were covered by snowflakes falling from the sky, making them integrated with the ground. His horse stepped into one of them, causing his horse to stumble.
He opened his mouth to warn, but it was too late. The soldiers rushing behind him tripped over his horse and flew out, smashing him to the ground. The war horse's head hit his horse, and the powerful impact caused the horse to somersault, and the huge horse's back smashed them to the ground.
"Kill over, don't let the Sui army take a breather." Ni Luoyan, who was at the rear, thought that the Sui Dynasty's crossbows had become powerful, and still ordered the attack viciously.
After hearing the order, the soldiers in the rear also fought their horses away with all their strength. During the chase, they were knocked down by seven or eight hundred people by the hateful Sui army. The whole army was full of anger. This time, the entire Sui army must be defeated. Destroyed and dismembered one by one, otherwise it will be difficult to express the hatred in your heart.
However, in an instant, the horse was overturned. Some people with superb riding skills might be able to tighten the reins in time to make the horse stand upright, or quickly dodge, but more people were thrown away when the horse fell to the ground and broke their necks. Or be crushed to death by the huge body of the war horse. And even those who avoided it immediately were crushed or trampled to death by the people or horses behind them.
The thunderous offensive of Tuyuhun's army became a big joke amid the shrill neighing of the horses and the screams of the soldiers.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a long and thick pile of human and horse corpses was piled up at the intersection of the village.
The cavalry below stepped on the mountain of corpses, not only trampling the men and horses below to death, but also being tripped and stuck, and then became a "stepping stone" for others. Even if someone was lucky enough to step on the mountain of corpses, the opposite side was densely packed with people. The ice cave is waiting for them.
Seeing the inexplicable death of countless brave soldiers, Niloyan felt a surge of anger in his chest. He immediately issued an order to retreat and roared: "Despicable Sui people!"
"Boom, boom~" What he responded to was two cavalrymen charging out from behind Tuyuhun. Under Niloyan's furious gaze, they were like two sharp knives that charged into the panicked Tuyuhun soldiers from the flanks.
The Sui army's cavalry grasped the timing very accurately. The moment they appeared happened to be when Ni Luoyan ordered the troops to retreat. The Sui army's sudden attack made them more chaotic.
In an instant, one after another, cold crossbow arrows ruthlessly harvested the lives of the Tuyuhun soldiers. Wherever the cold spears and swords passed, the corpses of the Tuyuhun cavalry were strewn across the field and rivers of blood flowed. The fierce killings made the Tuyuhun cavalry so frightened that some soldiers from the rear army began to turn around and flee.
One person's escape leads ten people around him to escape, ten people lead a hundred people, and a hundred people lead a large group. It's like a snowball. The escape becomes more and more popular, and soon, Tuyuhun, who has a large number of people, is captured. The two cavalrymen, who numbered less than 1,600, were killed to the point of collapse.
Zong Luohuo, who had already returned to the fighting position, saw that the time had come and immediately ordered: "Follow me to press forward, and those who retreat will be killed!"
The famous voice of "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosslikes ." Going up, as long as they completely disperse the Tuyuhun army, and then rely on the advantages of flanking front and rear and strong morale, they can completely defeat the Tuyuhun soldiers in one fell swoop.
The soldiers of the Tuyuhun Army who were originally defeated and scrambling for their lives suddenly suffered a fatal blow, which was like the last straw added to the camel's back. The Tuyuhun rebels who resisted sporadically were brutally killed by four Sui cavalry forces. With just one blow, they were killed with loud cries and howls, and they began to trample on each other and flee blindly. Even Niloyan passively let the rebels take him and fled.
In just a few moments, the dead bodies of Tuyuhun soldiers and horses were piled up everywhere, and the Sui soldiers who were rushing around the battlefield were all slashing and killing with their blades.
Zong Luohu was covered in blood, so he had someone blow the rallying horn and loudly ordered: "Xue Wanche, lead your own soldiers and wounded soldiers to clean up the battlefield and kill all those who are still alive."
"General, I obey!" Xue Wanche and his soldiers had set out since last night. They were extremely tired now, so they refused after hearing the words.
Zong Luohu roared again: "The rest will follow me and pursue for twenty miles, and we will kill all the bandits."
Although the art of war stresses that you should not pursue the enemy when you are at the last minute, because you are worried that the enemy will ambush you during the pursuit and allow the enemy to counterattack, but this Tuyuhun army already has reinforcements. At this time, if you don't take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill them all, how long will it take?
"Kill all the thieves."
"Kill all the thieves."
Amidst bursts of loud cheers, Zong Luohu gathered about two thousand soldiers and launched a mighty pursuit of the defeated Tuyuhun army.
This pursuit lasted for more than twenty miles. Except for those who ran in front, all the soldiers of the Tuyuhun Army who were lagging behind were wiped out.
According to the final statistics, nearly 5,000 of the more than 10,000 Tuyuhun soldiers died in this battle, while the victorious army only lost more than 200 people. The victory was indeed a beautiful one. However, for the victorious army, which had only 3,000 riders at the time of departure, the proportion was 10%. Adding in the soldiers who died in the battle, Zong Luohu only had about 2,400 men left. If the wounded were deducted, The number of soldiers he can fight is less than a thousand and seven.
Zong Luohu looked south and said silently: "It's up to you! General Mai."
.
.
.
After escaping for about thirty miles, Niloyan knew that the Sui army had retreated, so he immediately stopped to gather his troops. After doing some counting, he suddenly discovered with sadness that his 10,000 elite soldiers had been destroyed. The soldiers gathered around him now, The total number is only about four thousand
Right, the others are either dead or separated.
"General, General Ni, the camp is almost over!" A few scouts came over with a few dusty soldiers. As soon as they saw Ni Luoyan, they knelt down in front of him and cried loudly.
"What's going on?" Niloyan was shocked, stepped forward, bent down, lifted up a soldier and roared.
"Shortly after the general set off, the deputy general and General Xiaoni neglected to take precautions and were attacked by an army into the camp. They killed people and burned the tents." The soldier took a breath and said with a sad face: "General We are now working hard to gather the troops, but the soldiers and civilians are in chaos, which has added huge trouble to our officers and soldiers. The situation is very urgent now, please send reinforcements as soon as possible, general."
Niloyan was frightened, angry and anxious: "Do you know where the enemy army came from? How many troops are there?"
"I don't know where they came from, but their weapons, equipment, and clothes are in a mess, just like horse thieves. As for the strength of the troops, there are probably four to five thousand people."
"Send the order, and the entire army will immediately return to support the camp." Niloyan dropped the soldiers in his hands and ordered loudly.
As soon as the soldiers recovered from their shock, they heard that someone was raiding their old lair. They immediately mounted their horses and continued southward with Niloyan.
"General, look!" After walking for more than ten miles, with the camp in sight, a soldier suddenly pointed ahead and screamed loudly.
"Huh?" After hearing this, Ni Luoyan quickly looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw the blue smoke bird in the camp, and there seemed to be a faint flash of fire.
Niloyan's face turned pale, but fortunately, there was no fire yet. However, I felt something was wrong in my heart. Since the enemy had been fighting and burning for so long, judging from the current wind, this camp should have been burning with raging fire, right?
But before he could react at all, the Tuyuhun soldiers, who were worried about their family and wealth, had already rushed forward. Niluoyan had no choice but to keep up. However, in the Near East Camp, the speed in front slowed down, and he The uneasy haze in my heart became clearer and clearer, and I asked, "What happened?"
"General!" A general who noticed the abnormality came over from the front and reported: "The Dongda Camp Gate is blocked by pieces of ice, and the road is covered with grain. The horses stopped to eat the grain."
"What?" Niloyan asked in fear.
The answer was the sound of "rumbling" as the earth shook and the mountains shook. He followed the sound and his eyes bulged out. Only the rolling logs on the Nanshan Mountain rolled down like a torrent. Many soldiers were caught off guard and were knocked down. Smashed into meat paste. The rolling logs on the mountain were rolling down continuously. It wasn't until their defeated army was completely submerged that they stopped.
On the mountain, a smile appeared on the corner of Mai Tiezhang's mouth. His eyes moved from the foot of the mountain to the north, where there was no living thing. He said to himself: "What a good boy, he defeated ten thousand elite soldiers and killed only four thousand of the other side. It's really The younger generation is awesome! Amazing!"
As he spoke, he encouraged Xue Wanjun beside him: "It is said that this Zong Luohu is about the same age as you, and like me, he comes from a wild background. You are a disciple of a general, so don't let him compare with you."
"Here!" Xue Wanjun's eyes bloomed with a high "fighting spirit".
