Because of the separation and cover, as well as a certain distance, Zhang Liao was unable to discover what was happening to the east of the burning Qiu Cicheng.
He was fully focused on the battlefield in front of him, focusing on the area he was responsible for.
Zhang Liao tucked his bag under his arm and listened carefully to every little sound on the battlefield. He watched carefully, letting more light from the distance enter his eyes.
In the dark night, it is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, so the battlefield is very chaotic.
Zhang Liao's military use actually inherited the tradition of the North, and was actually very similar to Liu Guan and Zhang's tactics.
In other words, at a certain stage, these people's tactics are similar.
Blitzkrieg.
Perhaps when talking about blitzkrieg, most people will think of the mustache of World War II, but in fact, during the Three Kingdoms period, or among the Han Dynasty, starting from the era of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, blitzkrieg had been spread in the north and was used in the hands of Cao Cao
Extremely flexible.
Historically, Cao Cao particularly liked blitzkrieg. He attacked Wuchao in the first battle, defeated Wuhuan in the second battle, and conquered Jingzhou in the third battle. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry shocked the world and made people frightened. Later, Sima Yi also used the same tactics to surprise Shangyong, which was also
A critical turning point in a campaign.
So Cao Cao truly loved Guan Yu.
Imagine Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry, coupled with Guan Yu's charge and attack ability...
To put it simply, it is to use the general's personal bravery to directly attack, disrupt, defeat and eliminate the opponent's center formation before the opponent's large forces are deployed, causing the opponent to fall into a chaotic situation without command, in order to win the battle.
The wind was strong and the fire was strong.
Qiu Cicheng's burning sparks were flying everywhere.
Zhang Liao's brows were furrowed.
The war in the Western Region cannot be delayed.
Zhang Liao didn't want to delay, and most of the Hu people in the Western Regions also didn't want to delay it. Because the Hu people in the Western Regions also needed to farm and graze, and spring and summer were the best seasons for plant and animal growth.
This is opportunity.
When the Kushan army comes, it will inevitably be followed by a large number of herds, and these herds will be scattered around the rear. If the Chinese army can be defeated, then these subsequent herds will affect the balance of the Han and Hu people in the Western Regions.
A very important weight.
However, the first thing to do now is to find the opponent's center.
Zhang Liao's eyes were like an eagle, searching for his target in the chaotic light.
The troops of Baishan, the vassal army of Kucha people, have been thrown outside as the initial bait. They are constantly running around, entangled with the coalition troops, and continuously sending people over to wail and cry for reinforcements.
But Zhang Liao remained motionless. In the chaotic battlefield, he had not yet found the Kushan army.
Bai Shan was beside himself with anxiety.
As an anti-Buddhist sect, Baishan knew that if Kushan came with a pro-Buddhist sect, he could hope to die a quick death. Don't think that people who believe in Buddhism will be so charitable. Just like in history, through
Those who cause religious troubles, whether they are foreign Crusaders or the Chinese White Lotus Sect, can be regarded as a kind of mercy when they directly burn the heretics to death.
Therefore, Baishan has no way out. He must stand firmly with Lu Bu, then rely on the Han people to re-establish the Kucha Kingdom.
But before that, the Kushan coalition forces in front of us must be defeated.
Then Baishan discovered that his men were being driven around by Kushan's coalition forces...
Feeling distressed and heartbroken, Bai Shan secretly took another look at the Han general Zhang Liao, and found that Zhang Liao didn't look like he was about to attack. He was just scratching his heart with a hundred paws anxiously, and the seconds seemed like years.
"What kind of advice does the wise king Qiuci have?" Zhang Liao naturally noticed Baishan's behavior and asked indifferently.
Bai Shan knew that Zhang Liao didn't really want to hear his "advice" when he asked him for his "advice", but he felt sorry for his subordinates, so he was cautious and said with a smile: "In the opinion of a villain, now it's better... why not invite Dadu?"
I came to support you, I don’t know..."
Before he finished speaking, Han Zheng, who was standing next to Zhang Liao, scolded him: "What nonsense are you talking about?! The situation of the war is unclear now. Isn't it exposing the situation in advance by letting the general protector come? How can we kill the Kushan coach then? I really don't know what to say!"
"Yes, yes, villain, villain is ignorant..." Bai Shan tried his best to force out a smile.
Zhang Liao did not say much to Bai Shan, but ordered: "Let Quan Er give up the detection of the battlefield, bypass the middle battlefield, and go north to explore along the mountain line! No matter what, the Kushan Army must be defeated."
Find out the location!』
Seeing the scout flying away after receiving the order, Zhang Liao suddenly had an idea flash in his mind.
By the way, Zhang Liao suddenly had a hunch and roughly guessed where the Guishang coach position would be...
It must be at the foot of the mountain on the northern line that Zhang Liao just ordered Quan Er to look for!
Because further north is the mountain. If he were the commander-in-chief of the Kushan Army, he would also choose this position. On the one hand, he can quickly detect whether there are any ambushes hiding in the middle of the mountain. On the other hand, there can also be some height differences.
Can better distinguish the situation on the battlefield.
At the same time, if you wait until dawn and occupy the mid-mountain position, you can also form a certain geographical advantage.
Therefore, Guishan must be commanding the Chinese army on this line!
Sure enough, not long after, Quan Er brought news that a large number of Kushan troops were discovered in the northern mountainous area.
"Found it..." Zhang Liao smiled and sent people to the other side of Qiu Cicheng to deliver the message to Lu Bu. He himself began to form his team and prepare to attack.
……ヽ(·ω·′?)……
Taksa stood on the top of the mountain, looking down at the surrounding soldiers, feeling a little disgust in his heart.
Although these coalition forces are nominally his subordinates, and he should not be harsh on these people, Taksa, who has seen the Han army, can't help but subconsciously compare these people with the Han people.
Comparing soldiers and soldiers.
Han soldiers are strong, capable, quick in movement, tenacious and brave...
And these coalition soldiers of mine are all dirty and shriveled, with yellow faces and thin muscles. Their beards and hair may not have been trimmed since birth, and they are dirty, long and full of bugs...
never mind.
Perhaps the only advantage is that there are more people.
Of course, his own men weren't much better...
When I got rid of Ma Xiu, I left in a hurry, and the army was short of food and clothing. At first, I could use the name of Kushan to go to various countries to eat and drink, but later I heard that the Han generals were going to march into Chigu and conquer Da Da.
After the Wan Dynasty, these countries in the Western Regions became panicked, and their attitude towards Taksa was getting worse day by day. If it weren't for the fact that most of the Han people were so protective and stupid, they would destroy the Buddha...
When he heard that Lu Bu had killed the Buddha in Kucha, Taksa almost jumped for joy. Of course, he still had to pretend to be extremely sad and angry outside, claiming that Lu Bu had suffered divine punishment for his actions and would definitely be condemned by the Buddha.
Destroy the clouds.
Taksa does not believe in Buddhism. Although he also wears Buddhist ornaments and often talks about Buddhism in his speech, in fact, Taksa is not merciful when killing people, and he will never let the Buddha influence him in the slightest.
Head efficiency.
Because Taksa knows that if the sins and karma mentioned in Buddhism are true, then the ones who deserve the most death must be all the nobles, generals, and upper-level rulers of Kushan. These nobles, generals, etc.,
He lives a better life than any ascetic monk who is honest and trustworthy, free from sins, and free from industry obstacles.
What next life? It would be nice to live happily in this life, but who can care about the next life?
As long as the people at the lower level believe in the next life, the rulers at the upper level of Kushan will be able to live a good life in this life.
So how could Lu Bu be allowed to destroy Buddha?
Taksa jumped up and down, and finally succeeded in connecting with many people from the Western Regions who believed in Buddhism and formed a huge coalition.
Destroy the demons of the Western Region!
Send you to death, and then you will have merit! Eliminate karma! You will be able to enjoy happiness in the next life!
Well, as for the enjoyment of this life, I will reluctantly help you...
Taksa thought so, the corners of her mouth cracked and she licked her lips.
At this moment, soldiers suddenly arrived in a hurry, "General! Han soldiers and horses are coming towards us!"
"What? How is that possible!" Taksa's eyes widened, and then he asked urgently, "Damn it, is it that Han general, is it Lu? Or Gao?"
His subordinates shook their heads and said, "None of that, General. There is no flag..."
In fact, if there is a flag, you may not be able to see it clearly in the night.
"So, how many Han people came?" Taksa asked again.
"It's not a lot, there should be a few hundred people."
"Oh, don't panic." Taksa stroked his beard and exhaled, "Who wants to fight the Han people? There are only a few hundred people, anyone can go up...ah ha, anyone can win...
』
Although there was no name, after hearing hundreds of people, Taksa couldn't help but think of a certain Han general again, but he felt that it was better for others to try this kind of blessing first.
The generals of the surrounding countries, whether they were from Yarkand, Shule, Hua Kingdom, Shi Kingdom, etc., all looked at me and me and remained silent.
"Damn it! I should really kick your ass!" Taksa said angrily, "These Han people are the ones who have been cut off, understand? The one named Lu must have run away! The remaining Han people are stopping us! Damn it!"
,Damn it! You cowards!』
Despite the clamor, no one took the initiative to stand up.
Everyone is not stupid. Why should we face the tigers and wolves alone when we can follow Kushan to catch fish? Everyone is very interested in fighting Qiuci, but do they want to fight the Han people...
Especially when faced with that Han monster, the people of the Western Regions did not want to just go up and die.
When Lu Bu first conquered the Western Regions, it swept across the Western Regions like a storm. Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Western Regions fell to pieces in an instant, and the corpses of dead people were scattered everywhere. Today, you can still see piles of white bones on some old battlefields. For such a fierce spirit,
The impression of a character will not die directly at such a moment.
Taksa had drawn his sword and shouted loudly: "No matter how strong the Han people are, they are just human beings! Now these Han people despise us, are extremely cruel, and have committed a crime as big as heaven against the Buddha! Now that there are so many of us, how can we still do it?"
Can we be afraid of these hundreds of Han people in front of us?! This is the Buddha’s special instruction to send the heads of Han people in front of us! Follow me! Whoever falls one step behind is a sinner!”
The generals of the Western Region countries looked at each other, but at this moment they were not allowed to think or hesitate, they could only express their compliance with Taksa.
"I would like to follow the general!"
"For the glory of Buddha!"
"..."
Chaotic shouts came one after another, somewhat imposing.
No matter how good the Han people are at fighting, it is too much to hope that they can defeat Taksa with such a small number of troops. Now I am taking advantage of this opportunity to win a small victory and improve the coalition soldiers and generals.
Otherwise, the next time you encounter Han people, you will still be afraid and dare not go up to them. Wouldn’t it be a struggle?
Thinking of this, Taksa reviewed his lineup again and was convinced that his side had prepared the best formation to face the Han people.
Well, yes, although he shouted loudly, he was preparing to fight, not go out to fight. He didn't plan to rush out, he just wanted to use the terrain to defeat the Han people. This group may have rushed here by accident.
It's enough to "cut off" the troops.
His central army was deployed on a bare earth hill in the middle of the mountain. Further north were mountains and forests and rugged rocks, so they could form different formations according to the height of the earth slope. At the front were cheap and easy-to-use spears.
soldiers, followed by higher-level archers and so on. Anyway, it doesn't matter how many of the spearmen on the outermost periphery die, as long as they can block the Han soldiers.
Everyone knows that as long as the cavalry cannot charge, it will definitely be a dead end.
Then the cavalry from the rear were dispatched, and such a siege...
Simply perfect.
As the sound of horse hooves got closer, Taksa's heart couldn't help but mention that he was actually still afraid, but now he no longer had the option of being afraid. He raised his sword high and stared at it closely.
The shaking figures in front.
"Get ready!" Taxa shouted, "Stand still! Archers! Get ready to shoot!"
The cheap spearmen in front were driven and formed into human shields like hedgehogs, while not far behind were the armored soldiers supervising the battle, shouting and cursing, and beating the spearmen with their scabbards from time to time.
Behind these armored soldiers who supervise the battle are the archer troops formed by various states.
The Han cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded in almost everyone's ears.
Taksa's eyes widened, waiting to see these Han cavalry rush into the human shield and then get stuck in it...
But no, these Han cavalry threw the torches first, and then rowed away diagonally, like gliding on the frozen river in winter, slithering around to the edge, and also attracted those at the front.
The cheap spearmen who acted as human shields couldn't help but turn around with the Han cavalry.
"Damn it!" Taksa blurted out, "Don't move! Don't even move!"
Taksa shouted too late.
Of course, even if you shout earlier, it may not have any effect. After all, the people who formed these human shields are ordinary barbarian herdsmen, untouchables who don’t even have bows and arrows. The only thing they can use is their bodies, so
There is no talk of military literacy or battlefield experience at all.
The first thing that came roaring was the lance thrown by Zhang Liao's cavalry.
When facing these dense formations, Zhang Liao's men followed the requirements of the drill and did not even need Zhang Liao's additional orders. They just used the speed of their horses to directly throw their spears, and then quickly divided into left and right directions to make way for the subsequent cavalry to attack.
The torches burned in front of the coalition forces, affecting the vision of these cheap spearmen of the coalition forces, making them feel that the roaring spears were like the devil's minions protruding from the dark night, harvesting blood and lives at will.
Dozens and hundreds of spearmen fell down amid screams, and chaos spread in front of the formation.
Zhang Liao's cavalry did not stop. They circled, preparing to circle again...
"Shoot, shoot!" Taksa shouted, pointing his sword at Zhang Liao's cavalry.
According to his idea, the arrows of these archers were aimed at Zhang Liao's cavalry, who had turned sideways. On the one hand, the Han cavalry had just turned, and the horse speed would inevitably decrease. On the other hand, the horses had turned sideways.
The area under attack became larger. But he forgot that the coalition forces were coalition forces. Although the shooting commands were the same, everyone had their own ideas as to where to shoot.
Just like steam collected in one place can be used as kinetic energy to drive the industrial revolution, but ordinary boiled water can only make a few bubbles, and messy arrows fly out randomly, naturally unable to achieve any significant results.
Effect.
The Han cavalry is too fast!
Taksa could hardly breathe, and his palms were sweating.
He quickly ordered his subordinates to supervise the team to step forward to maintain order.
After continuously killing a dozen cheap human shields trying to escape, the array barely stabilized again.
Taksa exhaled and comforted himself as much as possible. Fortunately, he had more people. The cheap human shields would die if they died, which was nothing. The Han cavalry's spears were limited, and they would be gone after they were used up!
"Steady! Steady!" Taksa shouted, "The Han people don't have many spears! Archers, archers! Don't shoot randomly! Listen to the command! Listen to the command!"
The chaos on the battlefield still continues.
On the battlefield in the distance, some coalition troops were shouting to chase away the Kucha Baishan Army who were also shouting. The sound was very loud, but there were very few casualties. Except for a few unlucky guys who accidentally tripped.
Or maybe they stepped on a boulder and fell to death. These two groups of people were like clowns on the battlefield, laughing and joking to create an atmosphere.
But here in Taksa, the sound was much quieter. There were only death screams and cries, accompanied by the sound of rolling horse hooves.
Taksa suddenly felt regretful. If he had not been greedy, had not chased those damn Kucha traitors, and had not wanted to take advantage, he might not have encountered the Han cavalry. And even if he had waited until dawn to come back, he could have easily defeated his men.
The coalition forces surrounded only a few hundred Han cavalry, instead of being passively beaten.
Taksa felt that he had never been so miserable in his life, as if he was not leading a group of people, but a group of pigs.
As long as they last a few more rounds, they will inevitably enter hand-to-hand combat, and once they enter hand-to-hand combat, they will definitely consume the number of Han cavalry.
Even if it is a pig, the knife will become dull if you chop it too much!
As long as there are enough pigs, the Han people will get tired and collapse!
Drag them here, wear them here, drag the Han cavalry to death, wear them to death!
Taksa's heart suddenly moved. What if he pounced on the Han people while they were circling?
I also have cavalry under my command!
Elite, powerful, and noble Kushan cavalry!
They gathered together secretly, and then jumped out while the Han people were turning! At this time, the Han people's horse speed slowed down, and they were also facing us from the side. It was perfect!
Taksa called the adjutant and asked him to take charge of delivering orders to the Kushan cavalry, so that the Kushan cavalry could start preparations...
The adjutant went down, and Taksa stared ahead, staring at the shaking figures of the Han cavalry.
Feel free to come again!
come!
Taksa shouted, feeling like he was holding back a fire.
As if hearing Taksa's cry or receiving its letter of challenge, Zhang Liao's cavalry attacked again...
