Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1352 Dismount
"Khan, get out!"

"Get out!"

"If the Qin army is allowed to go around and outflank, we will be surrounded."

"It's cold, the wind and snow are blowing, the food and grass are running low, and the army and horses are exhausted. Please retreat first."

In the big Nishu tent, a group of leaders of the Tiele tribe asked to withdraw their troops one after another.

The mud is angry, but dare not attack.

Xue Yantuo's strength is indeed not weak, claiming 40 cavalry.But in fact, although the Xueyantuo Khanate is named after the Xueyantuo tribe, it is still an alliance of the Tiele tribe. Although the strength of each tribe is not as strong as that of Xueyantuo individually, they are not weak together.

What's more, after the establishment of the alliance of Huihe tribes, the strength of the Khanate was greatly reduced.

The Xueyantuo Khanate has 40 cavalry, and the Xueyantuo headquarters in the mud now does not even account for half of the troops. Among the troops sent this time, the Xueyantuo department worked hard, and the family sent [-] troops.

But the 8 troops accounted for just over a third of the 20 troops.

No matter how angry and shameless Ni Zhu is at the moment, Tong Luo and other leaders are used to the way of fighting on the grassland, so they will grab a chance if they have a chance, and leave if they don't have a chance.If the enemy is powerful, then run quickly.

It didn't work this time, so try again next time you find a chance.

"withdraw!"

Ni Yu didn't expect that this time the troops would be so miserable, and he didn't get any benefits, let alone scare the emperor of Qin Dynasty. He didn't want to retreat, but everyone wanted to retreat, and he had no choice.

Moreover, Yu Chigong's name is far more famous than that used by Rock.Facing his nephew Yi Nan in Shangwoye Town, he had to fight with each other. It would be best if he could break through Woye, capture Yi Nan and behead him for public display, so that he would be a well-deserved Xue Yantuo Khan.

But Yuchi Gong is one of the three gate gods of Daqin.

The three door gods of Great Qin, the left door god Qin Shubao, the right door god Wei Chigong, and the back door god Li Jing, are each more powerful than the other, Ni Shu dare not underestimate the enemy.

Xue Yantuo's army withdrew overnight.

Rock heard it, but only sent light cavalry to follow behind, and his army did not immediately dispatch.

It wasn't until after dawn that Luo Keyong gathered his soldiers and horses and attacked from the city.

Duan Zhixuan led five thousand light cavalry as the vanguard, closely following the enemy.

Rock followed with [-] infantrymen.

Seven thousand soldiers and horses stayed behind in Woye City.

Rothmo also followed with eight thousand Shuofang militiamen.

The military order Roque used is very interesting.

He didn't allow Duan Zhixuan to attack the Nigu army, but only asked him to hang five thousand cavalry behind, not far or near, so that the Nihu army had to be on guard at all times, and even at night they couldn't live peacefully, sleeping with their helmets and armor on.

This greatly slowed down the retreat of the clay army.

The most terrible thing is that there is a logistics force of more than 5 people in the mud army. It was originally responsible for driving cattle and sheep for military use. These people directly transferred several small tribes. have.At the beginning, Niyi promised them that they would resettle their tribe to Monan in the future after the Hetao was conquered.

This new pasture is much better than the pasture they are staying at now.

These people dragged their families and drove their cattle and sheep across the desert to the south. They were exhausted all the way, and they hadn't rested well, so they had to go back again.

They cried and rushed, but they had no choice but to leave under the escort of Nisha's army.

With more than 5 people, the speed is even slower, not to mention driving cattle and sheep.

But abandoning these people, who would be reluctant to part with it, not to mention their cattle and sheep forage to go back across the desert, abandoning them, when they go back, they will have to kill horses and eat meat.

But the horses have no fodder, and it is estimated that many will die on the way, which will be a big loss.

Fortunately, Niyu firmly believed that as long as they wanted to leave, there would be an army of 20 guarding the 5 people, and the Qin people would not be able to keep them.

Duan Zhixuan harassed from behind every day, and the mud he made was unbearably annoying, but he sent troops to the rear to strangle him. If there were fewer people, he couldn't beat him, and when there were too many, Duan Zhixuan ignored it.

Such a slow march took more than ten days.

But Niyu's army insisted on not leaving Monan.

From midnight on this day, there was a lot of wind and snow. By dawn, the snow was knee-deep, but there was still no intention of stopping at all, and the snow was even heavier.

At this time, the mud did not go away.

More than 2 Qin soldiers are hanging behind, which is really annoying, and he also got an urgent report saying that the [-] Qingqi of Yu Chigong and Li Daliang are not far away from them. I'm really going to be wrapped up.

"Think of a way, first use a decisive battle with Rock to destroy them, so that Yu Chigong and Li Daliang's army will not have to be afraid."

"Russmore's Turkic militiamen are chasing after us now. These people have replaced Duan Zhixuan's Qingqi. They are familiar with the terrain of Monan and are not afraid of the wind, snow and cold, but their numbers are not many, only about three thousand. If we turn around Let's fight and destroy them first!"

"Luo Keyong, Luo Simo, a Turkic traitor, a Tiele traitor, they are all people who can be killed." Ni You gritted his teeth.

"Okay, let's kill these Turkic thieves first."

In the blizzard and snow, Rothmo led three thousand Turkic militiamen in a hurry to chase, and the distance between the two sides was very close.

Suddenly, Xue Yantuo's tens of thousands of riders turned around and rushed.

The war horse raised snow powder all over the sky, covering the sky and covering the earth.

Rothmo found that he was too close, and when he wanted to retreat, it was too late, and the thick snow slowed down the horse's speed.

Three thousand Turkic militiamen were quickly surrounded, and there was a bloody battle.

Most of them died in the battle, and the rest managed to break out of the encirclement with Rothmo's desperate charge.

Fortunately, Duan Zhixuan's department was not far behind, so he responded in time.

"Report!"

"The army of mud is stopping in front, forming an array to invite battle!"

Xue Yantuo's 20 troops lined up for more than ten li, followed by [-] tribal people driving cattle and sheep and carrying fodder.

Luo Keyong led his army to stop a few miles away from the mud army.

The somewhat embarrassed Lord Shunguo Luo Simo came to the front of the battle on horseback and pleaded guilty to Luo Keyong.

"For a moment, I was careless and followed the path of mud, which resulted in the loss of soldiers and generals. Please give me a chance to make amends and let me lead my troops to lead the battle!"

Rock comforted Rothmore a few words, and asked him to go to the back to bandage the wound and lead his troops to rest.

"This battle will be left to me and the servants of the guards. The militia brothers from Shuofang are welcome to watch the battle from the rear."

It was snowing all over the sky.

A small victory made Nishi very excited.

"Let the warriors dismount and fight on foot!"

The snow was too thick, and the battle just now showed that there was no advantage in riding a horse with such snow.Besides, Xue Yantuo has always had a tradition of marching on horseback and fighting on foot.

"The auxiliary soldiers lead the horses to defend the formation, and the soldiers dismount to kill the enemy!"

20 Xue Yantuo army, [-] tribesmen.

There are about 14 main soldiers and nearly [-] auxiliary soldiers.

The equipment and combat effectiveness of the auxiliary soldiers were far inferior to those of the main soldiers, who were young and elite. Facing the Qin army with only more than [-] men, Ni Yu ordered the main soldiers to fight on foot.

[-] against [-], and a new victory, no matter what, there is no city to rely on, and there is no terrain to defend.

"Jinglue, the Tiele people get off their horses and fight!"

Under the handsome flag, Rockyong was not surprised to hear the news, and had even expected it a long time ago.
