The soldiers of the army beat their horses one after another and roared away, rolling up yellow sand all over the sky.
Behind Luo Ying's palace, he saw that a Turkic cavalry force had rushed up, about 10,000 people, and was about to enter the range of the crossbows. He decisively ordered: "Brothers of the third division, prepare for the crossbows, and retreat while fighting."
"Obey the order!" Everyone accepted the order with a bang, took out their repeating crossbows, turned around, and rode their horses backwards.
There are nearly 7,000 people and nearly 7,000 repeating crossbows. Once the firepower is fully activated, more than 100,000 crossbow bolts can be fired in one minute, and the range is farther than the Turkic light bow. Luo Ying is not worried about being caught up, only worried about not being able to catch up.
Chase.
Soon, the Turkic soldiers entered the shooting range and began to draw their bows and prepare to shoot arrows.
"Let go!" Luo Ying yelled.
The sound was masked by the sound of galloping horse hooves and could not be heard far, but there were flag soldiers.
The head of the guard regiment of the special operations force personally held the command flag high, waved it vigorously, and sent out the signal. All the special operations forces had received flag language training, and they could understand it at a glance, and there was no need for the generals to relay it.
"Boohoo!"
The next moment, countless crossbow arrows whizzed away, like countless venomous snakes in the flying yellow sand, with a piercing momentum, hidden, fierce, and cold.
"Ah! Ah! Ah——"
A series of screams rang out from the Turkic pursuers, heartbreaking, and actually covered up the sound of thousands of horses galloping.
Luo Ying looked back and saw countless people falling off their horses. He was overjoyed and shouted: "Shoot two more rounds."
Semaphore quickly conveyed the order.
The soldiers continued to shoot two rounds in succession, stopped decisively, and looked at the command flag in the hand of the leader of the guard regiment.
A total of three rounds of shooting, more than 20,000 crossbow bolts, knocked down nearly half of the 10,000-person team that rushed up. The Turkic soldiers behind were a bit far away. Although they were within the shooting range, the accuracy was difficult to guarantee. It would be a waste to continue shooting. Luo Ying
Worrying about scaring the Turkic soldiers back is not worth the gain.
Previously, the Turkic army fled all the way without fighting head-on.
After finally getting the whole army to press forward, Luo Ying was confident that with a tactic of slowly bleeding out, he could kill all the main Turkic forces off their horses, as long as they dared to pursue them.
Soon, Luo Ying found that the Turkic army's pursuit had slowed down. It was probably because the Turkic horses had not drunk water for a long time and could no longer bear it. He quickly shouted loudly: "Send the order, don't run too fast, just keep the range."
The order was spread again by semaphore, and the army slowed down.
In the age of cold weapons without communication equipment, no one could stop the execution of orders and prohibitions.
"Luo Ying, lead in the direction of King Han." came a loud roar.
Luo Ying looked back and saw that it was Xue Rengui. He suddenly reacted, nodded and shouted: "Send the order, the army goes south!"
The order was quickly passed down and the army changed its route.
Xue Rengui caught up with Luo Ying and shouted loudly: "Haha, the Turkic war horse is dead. It can't run and the man is exhausted. Just now I looked carefully and the range of the bow and arrow was obviously about ten feet closer than usual. If it takes a while, the physical strength will decrease."
Even bigger, one counterattack will be enough to capture them all."
Luo Ying didn't even pay attention to the range of the Turkic bows and arrows. He admired Xue Rengui's carefulness and laughed loudly: "Okay, I will listen to you, sneak away for a while, and then fight back if they use up all their energy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Ying realized that something was wrong. The Turkic army actually stopped chasing and fled towards the east. He was a little confused for a moment. What was he going to do? Could he leave the 50,000-strong army behind?
Is the attack false and the escape true?
The next moment, Luo Ying looked at Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui shouted loudly: "The Turks want to escape, catch up with them and bite off a piece of their flesh."
Luo Ying nodded knowingly and shouted: "Send the order, wolf tactics, on!"
The head of the guard regiment quickly conveyed the order through flag language.
The speed of the running army did not slow down, and it took a turn to pursue the Turks. The army was divided into three, and then into fifteen, and continued to rush forward with the regiment as a combat unit.
Each regiment has more than a thousand men. The strength is reduced, but it is more flexible. When they catch up within the range, they raise their repeating crossbows and attack. Once the Turks divide their forces to counterattack, they retreat decisively and keep the distance. The brothers' troops on the left and right swarm forward, three against one, and the whole group is defeated.
Eat the separated rear troops and continue the pursuit.
At this moment, the special forces transformed into a pack of wolves, flexible, maneuverable and ferocious.
If you can't fight, fight, if you can't fight, retreat, draw the pursuers away, and combine with other troops to continue to bite until the enemy is completely torn into pieces and killed.
Xue Rengui was a little surprised when he saw this style of play. He caught up with Luo Ying and asked, "This method is exquisite. Who created it?"
"Uncle, that's your young master! It was originally taught to Luo Zhang that using this method with light cavalry is more effective." Luo Ying explained loudly, with excitement on his face.
Soon, the army killed all the 20,000 Turkic soldiers who were behind. However, the main Turkic force took the opportunity to run away. How could Luo Ying let it go? He ordered the army to continue chasing and killing, and at the same time had people release flying eagles to inform Qin Huaidao of his whereabouts.
…
The battlefield on the other side.
Xue Wanche shouted for a fierce battle, and he didn't know how many people he killed. He was covered in blood. Even the horse was covered in blood, and the horseshoe in his hand turned scarlet. After all, he was old and his physical strength was a little weak, so he stopped to rest.
, while quickly observing the battle situation.
Encircled on three sides, how could the Turkic army hold out? It was on the verge of collapse. Xue Wanche had an idea and called a guard to loudly order: "Quickly, let the Turkic people of our army shout and say that the Turkic Khan has escaped."
The other party's eyes lit up, he agreed, and hurried away.
Not long after, a loud roar rang out on the battlefield: "The Turkic Khan has escaped!"
"The Turkic Khan has escaped!"
The shouts became louder and louder, denser, and spread far and wide.
The Turkic army, which was already struggling to support itself, was dissatisfied with the lack of support for a long time and relied on one breath to hold on. When they heard the shouts, they immediately became suspicious and looked at their superiors. However, the superiors did not know and were equally suspicious in their hearts.
No one wants to be abandoned, and no one wants to be used as cannon fodder.
For a time, the morale of the Turkic army dropped sharply and they were retreating steadily.
After retreating a certain distance, they saw that the main force that was supposed to be there in the distance was indeed missing. They immediately became furious, lost their will to fight, and turned around and ran away without caring about anything.
When Xue Wanche saw that his plan had succeeded, he was overjoyed and shouted angrily: "Send the order, go up and kill them, and don't let anyone escape."
"Kill!"
When the soldiers saw that the enemy was defeated, they immediately became energetic and started chasing them with howls.
Xue Wanche also chased him wildly, killing him all the way, which was a great experience.
"General!"
A scout came on flying horse and shouted loudly: "General, a Turkic army has appeared in the south, numbering more than 50,000, and it is coming at full speed."
The army has been fighting so far that it doesn't have much strength. Even if the whole army fights back, they may not be their opponents. It is better to chase the deserters and kill them. Firstly, they can kill the Turkic troops, and secondly, they can distance themselves and delay waiting for reinforcements.
"I hope there are reinforcements!"
Xue Wanche looked to the south and saw billowing sand and dust all over the sky. It was obvious that the Turkic army was rushing over to kill him. His heart tightened inexplicably and was full of worries. However, the army was still able to chase the deserters, but he was really unable to fight back. He shouted loudly: "
Send the order, speed up the pursuit, don’t let anyone get away.”
Chasing the enemy means escaping to avoid being overtaken by another enemy force.
The general's order spread quickly, and the army fought hard to pursue him, with momentum like a rainbow.
Xue Wanche rushed forward on his horse, locked an enemy general, and killed him off his horse in two or three moves.
"Dong dong dong!"
Suddenly, a loud sound of war drums came from the south, shaking the world.
Xue Wanche was taken aback and quickly looked in the direction of the sound of war drums. Unfortunately, his view was blocked by the undulating sand dunes. He could not see clearly and did not know the enemy or friend. A loud roar came from his ears: "General Xue, what's going on?"
"General Duoji, lead your troops to continue the pursuit. Don't let anyone get away. I will lead someone to stay behind, just in case." Xue Wanche made decisive adjustments.
It is not a big problem for an enemy army to come to support them. They are all on horseback and it will take time to catch up. However, two different troops can attack from a flank. They have to gather troops for defense, otherwise the consequences will be serious.
