In the most difficult time, Yuan Feng tried every means to retain a cavalry unit with strong sprinting ability and tall and elegant horses. The horses were too delicate and would get sick without concentrated feed. They were not cared for well.
Taos can also get sick, but they are not as solid as Mongolian horses. They can survive with some hay.
The last cavalry camp in Liangzhou only had 300 people, but every knight was a veteran of hundreds of battles. In terms of martial arts and experience, they were all the best. The war horses had gained enough fat in the past two days, and they ate all highland barley.
Horses are humane animals. They know that eating good feed will give them strength. They haven't had fun in the wilderness for several days. As soon as they left the city, all three hundred healthy horses galloped wildly.
Six thousand of Tobu Tachibana's ten thousand troops have been filled in, but there is no movement like a mud cow entering the sea. Wave after wave of people rushed into the city and never came back. All they could hear was the roar of artillery, and the expression on Tobut Tachibana's face
He was getting more and more gloomy, and his generals were no longer as arrogant as before. They all had livid faces and remained silent.
"You stay, the rest of the people come with me!" Tuburi Tachibana finally couldn't hold himself back, and with the last of his strength, he personally led 3,500 soldiers to attack the city, leaving only 500 people behind.
Guard the horses.
The procedure of the Turks' attack is as follows. The cavalry uses high mobility to quickly approach the city wall. Then the cavalry dismounts and fights on foot. The horsemen lead the horses and retreat to the firepower range of the city wall to wait. According to the military system, at least two thousand people should be left behind.
People care about horses, but the Turkic army thought that the people of Liangzhou did not dare to go out of the city to fight, so they only left a thousand people.
Suddenly, smoke and dust rose up from the northeast, and it seemed that an enemy army was coming. Although the horsemen were relatively weak soldiers in the army, they were majestic wolf cavalry after all. They immediately drew their swords and prepared for battle. Little did they know that before the enemy cavalry arrived, the people on the city top
But the cannon came over, and several shells fell behind the war horses, exploding into clouds of smoke. The war horses were frightened and ran wildly in the opposite direction of the explosion, which was the direction of Liangzhou City. There were too few horse stakes, and the horses were frightened.
There was nothing they could do, they could only pull back desperately and use the harness.
While the horses were galloping, the Turkic wolf cavalry and the Liangzhou fine cavalry came to a fight. In order to arm this small force, Yuan Fengke emptied Cao Yanhui's family fortune. Each cavalryman had three short guns stuck diagonally on his chest.
When you encounter an enemy, you can just take out your musket and shoot it. After you hit it, throw it away, and then pull out another gun and continue shooting. In actual combat, there are not many opportunities for a soldier to kill three enemies, especially when the number of both sides is about the same.
After the two armies clashed, the Turks dispersed, and the Liangzhou army also lost dozens of people. The remaining people waved their long whips and tried hard to drive the horses into the city.
…
Tobu Tachibana didn't know what happened behind him. At this time, he had led his men to the ruins. The scene in front of him stunned him. It was so tragic. The whole street was stained red with blood. There were corpses of the wolf riders.
There was one body pressed down, and they all fell down facing the east.
This is not a battlefield. It is clearly a slaughterhouse. The experienced Tubu Tachibana can tell it at a glance. This is a typical pocket formation. The Turkic army has completely fallen into a trap. It is surrounded by firepower on three sides.
Attack, the streets are so narrow that it is impossible to use force at all. You can only rush in like adding fuel. If you rush in, you will die in vain. Why did the firepower of the Liangzhou people suddenly become so strong?
The Turks also have artillery and muskets, but their scope of application is very narrow. Firstly, it is troublesome to load, and secondly, they cannot show their ability to mount and shoot. Tubu Tachibana did not study firearms deeply, but he always knew that the firing rate of firearms was very slow, but the Liangzhou people's
The cannon was completely different from the cannon in his impression. It seemed that there was no need to clean and cool the barrel at all. It fired extremely fast. The two cannons fired alternately with a very short interval. No matter how brave the soldiers were, they could not break through the line of fire.
Naturally, Tubu Tachibana didn't know that the two Longweihuwei guns were new breech-loading artillery pieces. The gunpowder and shotshells were preloaded in a steel tube. When shooting, the tube was placed at the rear of the gun to form part of the barrel.
, the shooting speed is of course much faster. Although the airtightness is affected to a certain extent, since it is a melee weapon, it doesn't matter, as long as it is fast and powerful enough.
The wolf riders also tried to break through from both sides. It happened that this road used to be a commercial street, with two floors on both sides. It was difficult to climb after the doors and windows were sealed, not to mention that there were soldiers standing on it, holding spears from a high position.
Fighting with bows and arrows, this battle was really tough. One by one, hundreds of troops rushed forward and died without even touching the enemy. Even the most hard-hearted people could not help but have red eyes.
Encourage Tubu Tachibana to withdraw his troops and save some seeds for the Wolf Cavalry's ten thousand troops.
Tubu Tachibana was also hesitating. Suddenly, soldiers came to report. The Liangzhou army attacked the back road and robbed all the horses. Hearing this, Tubu Tachibana was so angry that he vomited blood and fell. After being revived by his subordinates, he drew his sword angrily and shouted
: "I will die in Liangzhou City today!" After saying that, he took the lead and killed...

As night approached, the battlefield finally calmed down. An elite Turkic wolf cavalry team of ten thousand people died at the foot of Liangzhou City. A strong smell of blood filled the air. Someone played the Qiang flute on the city wall with a sad and melodious voice.
, crying and complaining, the soldiers with smoke in their faces dragged their heavy steps to clean the battlefield, peeling off the armor and weapons from the wolf riders, and even peeled off their clothes, hats and boots. The weather was still so cold, and there was a serious shortage of weapons in the city.
Warm clothing and heating items can all come in handy.
The vast land was completely empty. There was only a vague outline of the place where the Turkic army originally camped. The wreckage of the smashed return artillery stood in the wilderness. The strong wind blew and whined. Horses that had lost their owners were strolling in twos and threes.
, and from time to time it raised its head to the sky and roared loudly.
……………………………………………………
Twenty miles away, there is the Turkic camp and the Khan's tent.
"Failed again..."
"That's a wolf-riding team of ten thousand people..."
The ministers and generals were whispering to each other, but Timur was sweating profusely and remained indifferent. After a long time, he slapped the table and the cup filled with mare's milk jumped up. "There is no one who can fight without death! To the warriors,
For me, death on the battlefield is the best destination, why don't you die on a woman's belly like you guys?"
The Great Khan was suddenly furious, and the ministers were silent, but they were all complaining in their hearts. This Eastern Expedition was too hasty, and many things were not straightened out before the troops were sent out rashly. It is strange to be undefeated. The Great Khan, the Great Khan, is getting old after all, and has nothing to lose anymore.
He was so wise and alert when he was young. As a ruler and decision-maker, a small misjudgment can cost the lives of tens of thousands of people. It is really not worth the death of thousands of people today.
Tamerlane was not sad at all. He said he had an army of one million people, but in fact the number of soldiers capable of fighting was quite limited, and even fewer elite soldiers. This wolf-riding army of ten thousand people was his own imperial guard, so he just joined in without warning.
, I am really getting older and more confused, and I keep making stupid moves. I am actually frightened by a cannonball and my camp retreats ten miles, and I also send light-armed elite cavalry to attack the impregnable city. Isn't this asking for death?
It was quiet in the king's tent, no one spoke, and suddenly a guard came in and said: "Great Khan, Tubulihua asks to see you."
Everyone was in an uproar. Hadn't Tubu Tachibana's ten thousand troops been wiped out? Even the war horses were driven into the city by the Liangzhou people. How could this Tubu Tachibana come back alive? Does he still have the nerve to come back and see Dahan?
However, Timur was calm. He knew Tubu Tachibana's character. If all his subordinates were dead, Tubu Tachibana would never survive in the world. There must be something big going on when he came to see him.
"Call him in."
After a while, Tuburihana was brought in. The once majestic Captain Ten Thousands was now in terrible condition, with blood on his face and injuries all over his body. The most important thing was that his spirit had completely collapsed. He kept muttering: "Impossible, really.
impossible……"
"Tubu Tachibana! What's wrong with you?" Timur asked loudly.
Tubu Tachibana seemed to have suddenly woken up. He knelt on the ground and shouted: "Khan, withdraw your troops. Liangzhou will never be conquered!"
Timur was furious and was about to let someone pull down the Tubuli flower and chop it to death. Suddenly, he became curious about what made this heroic and capable captain of ten thousand men lose the courage to fight. He held back his anger and asked: "
Tubu Tachibana, what on earth did you see in Liangzhou?"
Mentioning this, Tuburika's eyes became dazed again, and her thoughts returned to a few hours ago...
Tachibana Tachibana was knocked unconscious by the thunderous air wave. If several guards had not fought to protect him, he might have been shattered into pieces like those wolf riders. When he was woken up by a bucket of ice water, he found that he had already
He became a prisoner of the Liangzhou Army.
Like Tobu Tachibana, there were dozens of wolf riders who survived, all with their hands tied behind their backs and gathered together. The Liangzhou army was sharpening their swords and was about to kill the prisoners. Suddenly, a young general came and said to the soldiers guarding the prisoners.
After hearing something, they were taken into a big warm house. The long table was filled with golden naan bread, fragrant bacon, raisins, sour milk and highland barley wine. The captives were surprised.
, are the Liangzhou people crazy, giving these prisoners such good food? You must know that these elite wolf riders cannot eat such good food even in their own camp.
The wolf knight who could speak Chinese asked: "Why do you entertain us with such exquisite food?" The Liangzhou Army soldier said angrily: "There is really nothing worse than this in Liangzhou City.
It’s time for food, we are tired of eating meat.”
The wolf riders looked at each other, speechless. After they finished their meal, Tachibana Tachibana and several other junior officers had their faces covered with black cloths and were cut off. They thought they were going to be beheaded, but they did not know that they were indeed invited to visit Liangzhou.
The granary, now their eyes have been opened. The huge granary is divided into upper and lower floors. Food is piled up like a mountain, and there are countless bacons. No wonder they say they can't find worse food than this. They eat this all day long.
It's annoying enough.
In view of his status, Tachibana Toburu was also given the privilege to visit the powerful cannon. As an excellent soldier, Tachibana immediately fell in love with this gun. He stroked the cold and smooth body of the cannon and burst into tears.
It is a man's weapon, but it is a pity that such a majestic weapon is placed at the top of Liangzhou City.
After some hospitality, the prisoners were sent out with gifts. Tubu Tachibana finally asked a particularly silly question: "Why don't you kill us?" The Liangzhou Army's answer made them extremely embarrassed.
"I've killed too many and I'm tired of killing..."
…………………………………………
After listening to Tubu Tachibana's narration, all the ministers and generals in the royal tent broke out in a cold sweat. If what Tubu Tachibana said was true, Liangzhou would never be captured.
"Idiot, you've fallen into a trap! You dare to mess up the morale of our army after defeating. What's the use of keeping you? Drag it out and chop it!" Timur waved his hand, and two guards rushed up and pulled Tubulihua down. Timur
He glanced at the four people with majestic eyes: "I don't want anyone to mention what you just heard."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp roar came from the sky, and the shelling came again.
