On the periphery, the disheveled Turks suddenly woke up from their sleep. The sound of killing was faintly heard, and then the low sound of horns also reached their ears.
They had no idea what was going on, so they got up in panic, grabbed their machetes, and rushed out of the house.
They are not well-trained soldiers. Most of the grassland warriors come from herdsmen. Their toughness and good fighting ability do not come from training, but from the harsh environment on the grassland.
This is their strength, but also their weakness.
And when they are suddenly attacked, their strengths and weaknesses will appear at the same time. Their fearless resistance and instinctive fighting consciousness make them look particularly terrifying.
But at the same time, their unorganized and undisciplined characteristics will undoubtedly be revealed.
In front of the thoroughly trained Heng'an Zhenjun, his weaknesses were infinitely magnified.
The Turks who rushed out of the house did not understand what was going on. What was waiting for them was a burst of shooting. The people in front screamed and fell down, and the people behind were still getting out one by one. When they finally knew the danger outside, they retreated
when in the house.
The Sui soldiers pushed their shields into the house and knocked the frightened Turks to the ground.
The fighting on the periphery was almost a one-sided massacre. This was obviously a variant of special tactics, but it was not so precise, and the battles inside and outside each room were not the same.
But inside the settlement, the Turks who rushed out of the house turned into a melee.
More and more Turks rushed out of the house, and they quickly became entangled with groups of Sui troops, shouting and killing loudly.
The Sui army, riding their war horses, had a certain advantage at the beginning, cutting down the Turks one by one. However, after arrows became the main long-range strike weapon, this advantage quickly disappeared.
In narrow terrain, cavalry are naturally targets for archers.
Groups of Turks, led by generals, rushed to the stables. They wanted to ride on their horses and attack the oncoming enemies head-on. This was almost an inevitable reaction of every Turk.
However, around the stables were groups of Sui soldiers in full formation.
Arrows were flying in the sky, and groups of Turks desperately rushed to the stables, but they were so close that they seemed far away.
They were shot down one by one around the stables and rushed in front of the enemy. They were greeted by a solid shield wall and a sharp sword.
When the peripheral fighting ends, the end of the Turks will come.
Groups of Sui soldiers, led by officers, no longer rode war horses, but quickly rushed inside to help their comrades and eliminate groups of resisting Turks in the settlement.
It was chaos. Li Po's tactics can only be said to have created chaos. This kind of improvisation is really hard to praise because the person who executed the tactics was wrong. Li Po didn't seem to have much thought when he gave the order.
However, in the midst of the entanglement, one of the Sui army's advantages was finally fully revealed, and became more and more obvious.
The armor, which had never been effective, gave the Sui soldiers more and more advantages in this melee.
This was a sharp weapon for the Sui army, but Li Po never seemed to enjoy the benefits of armor. Every time he fought, the armor was either thrown away or he never had time to put it on.
But this time, several of the retinues were either still lying in bed recuperating from their injuries, like Yuan Muye, Li Ya, Huang You, and Chen San, or they were not good at riding, like Yan Luren.
This caused him to get hit twice in the melee. Fortunately, they were all hit on the armor, making a loud banging sound, but nothing happened to him.
After the war, he expressed great appreciation for armor, which is a relatively bulky thing. It is a good life-saving thing. Why did he dislike it so much before?
When the peripheral Sui armies joined in, the fate of the Turks was irreversible.
As the Sui army fought more and more, the number of Turks increased. Groups of Turks who gathered together were surrounded by the Sui army, and they were treated like meat. Their resistance became weaker and weaker. Some Turks finally thought of breaking out, but most of them
Most people can no longer escape from here at this time.
Because everywhere you look you see enemies showing off their power, and all you hear in your ears are the death screams of your fellow tribesmen.
Only a very few people were lucky enough to escape from this horrific melee, spread their legs, and escape from this damn place without knowing the direction.
They were disheveled and fled in such weather, so one can imagine their fate.
The most intense resistance of the Turks occurred around the big houses on the hills.
Hundreds of Turks gathered together and put up a rather tenacious resistance here.
However, when the Sui army cleared the surrounding enemies and surrounded them, there was no need to mention resistance.
When the sun rises and is illuminated by the rising sun, all battles are over.
Li Po, whose back ached and his body was stiff from the cold, stepped on the piles of Turkic corpses and stepped into the threshold of the big house again.
He didn't care about what he was feeling, and immediately ordered, "Don't worry about anything else. Send the order, enter the house, light the fire, drink water and eat, all slowly, all slowly."
At about noon, Li Po sat on the floor in the big house, warming himself by the fire and listening to the reports from his men.
By this time, he had recovered, but was drowsy and too lazy to move.
"Reporting to join the army, the casualties have been counted. Our army has 286 killed and 465 wounded."
Li Po nodded with satisfaction. There were not many casualties. The battle was fought beautifully. He was very intelligent and commanded well. This general was very competent.
But you can't blame him for being too proud, this is indeed a small miracle.
Some Sui army generals who were well versed in the military were also surprised when they heard this.
You know, in the morning, the killing was called a chaos. How chaotic it was. When everyone gathered together and surrounded the last remaining enemy, the generals were surprised and slightly frightened to find that their own subordinates
All the people were gone.
Even the most basic organizational structure of the corps was not preserved. It was all thrown together in a mess. It can be said that the generals and soldiers were not known.
If they think they can win such a melee, it's actually because God has eyes. If they lose, then it's normal.
In such a melee, generally speaking, even if you win, it should be the result of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred to yourself.
However, the casualties in the end were surprisingly low. When everyone calmed down and got together, you looked at me and I looked at you. Everyone had the same idea in their minds. Could it be that joining the army is God's illegitimate son and we will also get the benefit of it?
If he heard the thoughts of his men, Li Po would definitely curl his lips. What's so strange? The grassland barbarians only rely on two things, horses and bows and arrows. Everything else is commonplace.
Without the horses, and being attacked by the Sui army first, bows and arrows were of little use here. Moreover, it is true that melee is detrimental to the Sui army, but this is what the grassland people are worst at. It is strange that the Sui army suffered heavy casualties.
His tactic is not unusual at all, and it has only one purpose: to keep the enemy here as much as possible.
If they had rushed in on horseback from the beginning, with more than 3,000 Turks, the Sui army might have had an advantage at the beginning, but when the Turks mounted their horses and faced the exhausted Sui army, the result would be hard to say.
This battle once again showed Li Po's keen intuition on the battlefield.
Of course, the most important thing about this battle is that, to use what Li Po once said, he dyed his official uniform red with the blood and corpses of his enemies. By using it to this day, it has completely established his position in Hengan.
status in the town.
Even, in the minds of some people who don't know the so-called, Li Canjun has been given a mysterious aura.
Soon, the results of the battle came out. More than 3,200 enemies were killed. I don’t know whether some of the things are true or false."
Now Li Po finally became interested, "Oh, what did he say?"
I added a chapter yesterday, and I have to work hard again today. The keyboard Ah Cao bought hasn’t come back yet, and my wrist really hurts. Tell me, Beixiong has a leader, an elder, a hall leader, and there are so many helmsmen.
Can you give me a massage? To be continued.
