At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 449

Outside Miyun City, nearly [-] Xi cavalrymen were waiting for Gao Bufan's arrival.

It is said that Su Ke and Shu Tai stormed Huairou City for several days without breaking it, but killed or injured more than a thousand people. After they came to their senses, they retreated to Miyun City and joined the other two Xiren troops here.

The two Xi tribes in Miyun City are from the Ori tribe and the Meizhi tribe respectively. These two Xi tribes are relatively weak, so this time they each sent [-] cavalry to attack Miyun City for more than ten days, but they also failed to capture it. , Many people were also killed or injured.

Therefore, now that the four tribes of Xiren add up, there are less than [-] capable warriors, and only about [-] cavalry. Of course, [-] cavalry should not be underestimated, and the advantage in field battles is still quite large.

Let's say that after the four Xiren troops joined together, after some discussions, they temporarily stopped attacking Miyun City, but recharged their energy and waited for Gao Bufan's arrival, because Shu Tai and Su Ke felt that Gao Bufan would definitely To rescue Miyun City, field battles are their forte. Without the protection of high walls, they have full confidence in defeating Gao Bufan.

"Report! The Sui Army has set out from Yanle City and is heading for Miyun City!" The spies reported back on a flying horse.

Shu Tai proudly said after hearing the news: "Look, what I expected is not bad, the kid surnamed Gao really led an army to rescue Miyun City."

Su Ke was more cautious, and quickly asked: "How many troops are here in the Sui army?"

Tan Ma reported: "About five to six thousand people, but there are only five or six hundred cavalry."

Su Ke felt a little relieved when he heard the words, and Shu Tai grinned grinningly and said, "There are only five or six hundred cavalrymen, Gao is very courageous, without the protection of that high wall, I really think that only four or five thousand infantrymen can withstand our thousands of cavalrymen. impact?"

"Report, the Sui army is thirty miles away!"

"Report, the Sui army is 25 miles away!"

"Report, the Sui army is twenty miles away..."

"Report, Sui Jun..."

Xi Ren's scouting horses kept reporting the Sui army's movements, and they were getting closer, while Xi Ren's cavalry outside Miyun City were standing by, ready to deal a head-on blow to the Sui army.

"Report, the Sui army is heading north!"

"Report, the Sui army is twenty miles north!"

"Report, the Sui army is 25 miles north!"

Shu Tai and Su Ke couldn't help being dumbfounded. What's going on? Why did the Sui army run farther and farther? What is it trying to do?
Qijin Branger from Ori's Department suddenly said, "The Sui army must have gone to attack Xikou, right?"

As soon as this remark came out, Shu Tai and Su Ke couldn't help being shocked. That's right, Xikou is about forty miles north of Miyun City. Doesn't the Sui army's victory mean that their retreat is cut off?
Now everyone is in a hurry. There are only 100 people of the Xi tribe staying at Xikou, and they will definitely not be able to withstand the Sui army's offensive. Once Xikou is blocked, their thousands of cavalry will have no way out. To use an idiom from the Sui people To put it bluntly, that is to catch a turtle in a jar, the kid surnamed Gao is insidious, and he doesn't play according to the routine.

"He must be stopped!" The four men discussed together and immediately decided to send troops to pursue them.

As a result, thousands of Xi tribe cavalry immediately set off and chased towards the north, and Miyun City was also relieved. The defenders on the top of the city were confused and reported to Miyun County Magistrate Lu Yu immediately.

Let’s talk about Gao Bufan, who originally led an army of [-] from Yanle City to Miyun City, but suddenly turned around and marched northward. After traveling more than ten miles in one breath, he finally stopped in front of an open terrain with a mountain peak behind him. , and quickly lined up, setting up a large crescent moon formation, obviously, this is to prepare for a decisive battle with the Xiren cavalry here.

This is the tactic discussed by the generals of the Yingyang Mansion at the meeting. First, they pretended to rush to help Miyun City, and then suddenly turned around and went straight to Xikou, creating the illusion of attacking Xikou. Can chase, so that Xi Ren can be mobilized, and the army quickly rushed to the predetermined location to form an array, turning passive into active, waiting for the arrival of Xi Ren's cavalry.

If it would be better if Xiren's cavalry didn't come, then take advantage of the situation to seize Xikou, seal Xiren's retreat, and then slowly consume thousands of Xiren's cavalry in the territory.

However, Gao Bufan and the others didn't wait in vain. Not long after they formed the battle formation, dust was flying in the south, wind and sand filled the sky, Xi Ren's cavalry arrived, and the speed was really uncommonly fast.

Let’s say that Su Ke, Shu Tai and others led thousands of cavalry to rush there, and found that the Sui army had already lined up on the mountain. Under such circumstances, they can retreat calmly even if they lose the enemy.

"Kill, it's time for the Sui dogs to taste the power of our cavalry!" Su Ke drew out his scimitar, and gave the order to attack without hesitation, and the cavalry rushed towards the Sui army's battle formation immediately.

At this time, after several bloody battles in the defense of the city, the Yingyang army had grown courageous. In addition, the tragic scene of Yanle City made them feel the same enemy, and the murderous aura in their chests was brewing to the peak. The cavalry had no fear either.

"Release the arrows!" Gao Bufan ordered, and the rain of arrows shot out overwhelmingly.

After a fierce battle for a long time, the Xiren cavalry charged and killed more than a dozen times in a row, but they failed to break through the battle formation of the Sui army. Instead, they lost hundreds of cavalry. Killed on the shield.

At this time, Su Ke and Shu Tai suddenly realized that the Sui army's new moon formation was quite difficult to deal with. Not only was its defense force quite strong, but it was also very flexible. Immediately encircle them like a pack of wolves and eat up this group of cavalry.

In addition, the weapons of the Sui army were much better than theirs. Not only did the bow have a longer range, but the arrows were also sharp iron arrows, which offset the disadvantages of a large part of the infantry.

The most important point is that the Sui army's formation is backed by the mountain, so there is no worries at all. It is impossible for Xi Ren's cavalry to use their mobility to go around and attack from behind. This undoubtedly greatly reduced the defensive pressure of the Sui army.

"The bastard surnamed Gao is too cunning, so we will suffer too much!" Shu Tai cursed angrily.

Su Ke's expression was also extremely gloomy. These dozens of waves of attacks not only failed to shake the battle formation of the Sui army, but also lost hundreds of riders, and hundreds of riders were injured. If things go on like this, it's a fart. We must adjust Tactics do.

Just when Su Ke and others were hesitating whether to fight or retreat, the Sui army's crescent formation suddenly moved, and it took the initiative to slowly push towards Xi Ren's cavalry formation. The rows of iron shields were like walls, and the rows of spears protruding from between the iron shields gave off a sharp cold light in the sun. The entire formation was like a thorny tortoise, which was daunting.

hum...

The sound of strings sounded, and a wave of arrows flew out of the Sui army's arrow array first, followed by the second wave, and the third wave...

The cavalry of the Xi clan were forced to retreat steadily, and their positions were a little messed up. At this moment, the battle formation of the Sui army suddenly changed into a brigade-based tofu block, and they accelerated forward: "Kill!" !Kill!"

The Sui army was advancing like a tide, and Yuchi Jingde and Gao Bufan each led [-] cavalry to rush out from between the battle formations, like two dragons going out to sea, they quickly rushed into Xi Ren's battle formation.

"Kill Xi thief, avenge blood!"

"Kill Xi thief, avenge blood!
The Sui soldiers burst out the anger that had been pent up for a long time in their chests, like waves of roaring torrents, they rushed up overwhelmingly, forward, forward, and forward! ! !

Xi Ren's cavalry was already in disarray, but it was even more chaotic when they were charged like this.

Yuchi Jingde really deserves to be an invincible brave general on the battlefield. He takes the lead, one person shoots one gun, as if entering the land of no one. Of course, Gao Bufan is even more fierce. The long knife is invincible. .

The two armies fought fiercely for nearly a stick of incense, and Xi Ren finally broke down and began to retreat, fleeing in all directions like a levee that collapsed in an instant!
"Kill Xi thief, avenge blood, kill!!!"

The Yingyang army roared and chased after them bravely, and the soldiers of Yuyang County led by Li Jing were also excited. This is dignified defeating an entire cavalry in a field battle. In an instant, everyone's blood was ignited. Morale and pride soared.

"Death to those who retreat! Death to those who retreat!" Shu Tai yelled hoarsely, beheading several cavalrymen who were retreating, but unfortunately the army was defeated, no matter how much he yelled, he could not reverse the situation.

Seeing the Sui army rushing towards him like a tide, Shu Tai could only wail in the end and gave the order to retreat.

collapse……

Shu Tai was about to escape under the protection of his own soldiers, but he heard the sound of strings, and an iron arrow pierced through the air as if it had eyes, and hit the back of his neck.

Shu Tai didn't even have time to let out a scream, and his whole body was thrown away from the direction of the horse's head by the huge force of the iron arrow, and then he was trampled bloody by the rolling horse's hoof.

Seeing that Jin Jin was shot, Shu Tai's soldiers didn't dare to stay at the moment, and ran wildly on horseback.Gao Bufan killed Shu Tai with one arrow, and immediately hung up his bow and drew his knife, and charged again with all his might.

The battle lasted until evening, and the Yingyang army pursued and killed Xi Ren, chasing him for tens of miles in one go.Xi Ren's defeated troops panicked and escaped from under Miyun City, and fled southward into Yuyang County all the way.

The defenders in Miyun City were a little unbelievable when they saw the Yingyang army chasing after Xiren's cavalry. They didn't react until the majestic "Gao" general flag gradually went away!
"That's Zhuojun's Yingyang army, it's General Gaolang, my God, this is too fierce, the Yingyang army actually defeated thousands of Xi thief cavalry!"

The news that Xi people were defeated by Yingyang's army quickly spread throughout Miyun City, and the whole city was erupting. The county magistrate Lu Yu was surprised and happy, and immediately sent someone to open the city gate, and personally led the defenders in the city to join in the pursuit. Although it is useless to join the ranks, it can eventually gather the number of people and increase the momentum.
