Kunhun Dougai, who was left in his hometown by King Wushi of Yougu Li to look after his family, roared in disbelief. Baishan Chishui was two or three thousand miles away from the eastern border of Beihan River.
The heart of the right wing...
"The Han army... is so brave!"
"Master Kunhun, this Han army must be wiped out as soon as possible. Baishan Chishui is a treasure land gifted by the Immortal God. We have thirty-five tribes and seven to eight million people living here. The Great Chanyu also moved tens of thousands of craftsmen
.If the Han army breaks in, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"Then Sir Qiqu, are you willing to lead troops to defeat this Han army? I can give you three standing troops of 10,000 cavalry, plus 20,000 warriors recruited by the tribe -"
Qi Bobo boldly accepted the order and shot a vulture to report that the Han cavalry that attacked only had 20,000 cavalry.
"Don't think that you are careless because you have a large number of troops. The Han army that came to kill is likely to be the Hedong Jingqi of Zhu Biao's traitor, and their combat effectiveness is extraordinary." Kunhun Dugai gave final instructions.
"Don't worry, Master Kunhun, and he will not underestimate the enemy." Qiqu Bobo's face suddenly became solemn, he lowered his head and saluted Kunhun Dugai, turned around and walked out of the tent.
"Mobilize the tribal warriors from the north to come to the royal court." After dividing the three standing 10,000-horse cavalry armies, the royal court only had 20,000 troops left, although 10,000 of them were the Silver Wolf Cavalry of the Wu Division.
Three thousand miles due south from Baishan and Chishui, slightly to the east is Shoujiang City.
This is the place where the Central Plains army first accepted the surrender of Guifang when Guifang was destroyed. It is also a sacred place for the Di people.
Now, more than one million Hu and Di coalition forces occupy this place, facing off against the Central Plains coalition army, which has more than one million troops 200 miles away.
This is a confrontational war, from the beginning of the Hu Di coalition to the present. It has been two years. The forces of both sides have continued to increase, and small-scale battles have become as intensive as the crackling of firecrackers. Countless, but decisive
The war never broke out.
However, everyone knows that this regionally decisive battle will always break out. In the past two years or so, it was just brewing and accumulating little by little...
Qi Chou cursed loudly and wished he could eat Yiqu Tituo alive. His troops bit a convoy of three to five thousand Di cavalry escort, but they were also tightly entangled by this Di cavalry, and what was even worse was
There was nothing in the convoy, so they were fooled. At this time, Yi Qutituo, an old rival, came to kill them.
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops. Ming Jin withdraws his troops, withdraw..., withdraw..." Qi Chou was furious and roared angrily. He only had less than 10,000 troops under his command, and only three or four thousand cavalry. He could not defeat the three to five thousand Di cavalry in front of him.
The problem is, the tens of thousands of Diqi who wanted Yiqu to escape have arrived. That would be very bad.
However, it was too late. Yiquti's ambush troops jumped down from the high ground on both sides of the valley not far away. Tens of thousands of Di cavalry were erupting like a black torrent, surging. The overwhelming momentum poured down.
It was so loud that it made people’s souls fly away and their livers and gallbladders were split apart. The galloping sound of the war horses was earth-shattering. The soldiers’ shouts of killing were deafening, and the whole valley suddenly trembled.
After all, Qi Chou had been on the battlefield for a long time. He knew that if he wanted to save his life, the top priority was to escape from the enemy's encirclement. Although he was horrified in his heart, there was no trace of fear on his face.
He spat hard on the grass, and the muscles on his face nervously twitched a few times.
"Drumming, drumming..." Qi Chou roared at the top of his lungs.
The sound of war drums was beating like thunder, dense and violent. The panic-stricken soldiers of the Zhou army were not sure what to do when they suddenly heard the fierce sound of war drums. They immediately became energetic and quickly gathered towards Qichou's Chinese army.
"The infantry archers are in the middle, the swordsmen are outside, followed by crossbowmen, then spears and swordsmen, form an formation, form an formation..."
"The left wing is the front, moving rapidly..."
The flag soldiers beside Qi Chou held high flags of different colors, waved them in turn, and issued instructions to various Zhou troops.
The Zhou cavalry also showed a high degree of tactical literacy at this critical moment. They remained calm in the face of danger. Under the leadership of their respective military academies, they quickly assembled, formed a wall, and began to move. Although their speed did not increase, they
The war horses have already started running.
A huge horn blast suddenly broke through the air, it was exciting, high-pitched, and heart-shaking. The enemy launched a charge.
The Di cavalry looked excited. Facing the disadvantaged Zhou army, their morale was as high as a rainbow. They shouted loudly, and their roars went straight into the sky.
"Go forward quickly..."
"The warriors of Dadi...kill..."
Yiqu Tituo raised his long sword high and shouted wildly on his horse. The war drums roared wildly.
The blood of the Di soldiers, who were already boiling, became even more excited after being inspired by the war drums, and they responded in unison:
"Kill...kill..."
The two sides came into contact instantly. Cavalry collided with cavalry, and a loud noise broke out on the battlefield.
Yiqu Tituo's cavalry used the central breakthrough tactic, and quickly tore through the Zhou army's cavalry array due to the weak central force, and reached the Zhou army's infantry formation.
The crashing of war horses, the whistling of arrows, the roar of soldiers, the thumping of war drums, and the shrill sound of horns all mixed together and resounded in every corner of the battlefield.
The sharp spears and spears penetrated each other's bodies, and the Di cavalry fell off their horses one after another. Immediately, many people were trampled to death by the frightened horses. The Di cavalry who were hit by arrows also threw their hands before dying.
The spears and knives carried on them also brought puff after puff of blood to the Zhou army, splattering in the air.
The ferocious attack of the Di people caused huge casualties to the Zhou army. The Zhou army's infantry and cavalry were fighting desperately to meet the enemy, but they could hardly move. Especially the infantry formation, and as the Zhou army soldiers on both sides continued to die and fell, the flanks of the formation
It is getting thinner and thinner and may be broken through by the Di people at any time. Once the formation is broken, Qi Chou's nearly 10,000 Zhou troops, except for some cavalry who may escape, the remaining Zhou troops will have no chance except to die in battle.
There is a way to go.
Qi Chou was in the center of the formation, loudly directing the troops to respond.
"The rear army shrinks, and the center army replenishes the two wings. Push the enemy out."
"Order the front troops to kill, keep going forward..."
"Infantry archers launch, continue to launch, support the front army..."
"The cavalry counterattacks, orders the cavalry troops to counterattack, tear up the space, open up the space..."
The soldiers in the front army had only one thought, and that was to kill each other. They kept fighting until there was no one in front of them to kill. The spear soldiers and the sword soldiers were one position apart and complemented each other. Everyone risked their lives to fight without fear.
No flinching.
They only have the enemy in their eyes. Their weapons are stained with their blood.
After many years of fighting, whether Hu Di or Zhou Jun, Chen Jun, Yan Jun, etc., all had a deep hatred for each other, and there was no room for relaxation.
When soldiers fight on the battlefield, there is no other option but life and death. There is no such thing as surrender.
The Hu Di coalition forces will not accept the surrender of the Central Plains soldiers, and the coalition forces of various Central Plains countries will not accept the surrender of the Hu Di soldiers at this time. Even if they accept it, they will have to wait until the two Hu Di troops are completely defeated.
The missiles of the infantry archers had an immediate effect, and the speed of the front army's assault suddenly accelerated. The Di cavalry discovered the abnormality and immediately launched a counterattack. They responded in small groups behind the large troops. They attacked, lured, and fired back.
They also killed and injured many Zhou soldiers. Although they were retreating step by step, the number of soldiers in the Zhou army's front line would decrease with each step back.
Tituo stood at the top of the valley. He was smiling and feeling very proud. He muttered to himself: Qi Chou, if I don't skin you, cramp you, and chop you into minced meat today, I will never go to the battlefield again.
"Sir, the Qi bandits are very organized in how they command their troops. It seems that our troops will not be able to take them down in a short period of time... We cannot delay too long, otherwise the Zhou army's backup will arrive..."
Yi Qutituo nodded and said to his subordinates: "Qi Chou is not an incompetent person." Otherwise, he would be equally incompetent after facing him for more than a year.
"It will take a while to exhaust the bloody courage of the Zhou army. Helian Qianqi Commander, then it will be up to you!"
"Don't worry, sir. The Silver Wolf Cavalry will always be the Silver Wolf Cavalry -" said the Qianqian Commander of the Silver Wolf Cavalry with gold rings in his ears.
"Sir, the Zhou army is now in a tight formation and is defending according to the formation, making it difficult for our army to take advantage of it. My lord, look, his front army has begun to attack violently again. Should we allocate manpower from the two wings to strengthen the front?
ah?"
Yiqutituo shook his head and said resolutely: "Continue to concentrate our forces to attack his two wings and cut off his formation. Once the formation is broken, he will be finished."
"Order the cavalry on both wings to line up and launch." How many infantry archers can the Zhou army have? The infantry at the head of a battalion in Qichou killed a thousand infantry archers. Yiqu Tituo also had an advantage.
"Order the troops to shrink..."
"The rear army enters the two wings, the center army supplements the front army, and fights forward..."
"Sir, if we remove the rear troops, our defense will have gaps." The general next to Qi Chou reminded loudly.
Qi Chou looked at him helplessly, as if he were a general. How could he not know this? But——
"Both wings are broken, so what's the point of blocking the rear? Bring the personal guards and we rush to the front, tear through the enemy's blocking, join the cavalry, and rush out."
Under the command of the war drum, the rear soldiers who were blocking the enemy immediately withdrew into the center of the formation, and then divided into two, and added to the battlefield on the two wings with serious casualties. The two wings that had been pressed out of shape rebounded again. The Di cavalry was continuously attacked
Killed, had to retreat slowly.
The assault troops in the front line also suffered heavy casualties and almost stagnated. At this moment, Qi Chou led 200 people and suddenly rushed forward. His personal guards were all the most elite soldiers in the army, tall and brave.
Good at fighting. Everyone roared like wild beasts out of their cages, and launched the most powerful and terrifying blow when the front line was in the most critical moment.
Yiqu Tituo looked extremely embarrassed. He had just said that there was no need to increase the frontal military strength, and Qi Chou came to him with this trick. How could he make his face look better?
Although his face was hot, Yiqu Tituo still shouted: "Order the left wing troops to immediately deploy troops to stop the enemy from the front, hurry up -"
The circular formation of the Zhou army turned into a cone-shaped assault formation. Like tenons, they dug in tenaciously, and their advance speed suddenly accelerated. If Yiqu Tituo did not stop it, the infantry formation of the Zhou army would soon be able to follow the Zhou army.
The army and cavalry gathered together. In that case, even if Yiqu Tituo's troops could completely annihilate the Zhou army, they would have to pay a heavy price.
Qi Chou was quickly hung with arrows, and blood was dripping down his body. But under the protection of a small group of soldiers, he still sat on the back of the horse with his back upright. Even though the blood stained the horse's back, he was gritting his teeth.
Hold on. Supervise the front line.
The gap was finally opened.
A deafening cheer broke out from the Zhou army's infantry formation, and the soldiers led Qi Chou to launch the second wave of attack. The Zhou army's infantry formation combined with part of the Zhou army's cavalry!
Yiquti was so angry that he cursed, beat his horse and ran down the hill, commanding the cavalry to block the gap. At the same time, the Silver Wolf cavalry dispatched. They did not attack the Zhou army's infantry formation, but attacked the enemy that was divided into pieces by the Di cavalry.
Zhou army cavalry.
The fighting lasted for two hours. There were nearly 10,000 Zhou troops, and only one of the three stops was left. Qi Chou himself could no longer hold on to his horse, but the Zhou troops still resisted.
Qi Chou did not abandon his formation and run away. So, in this battle, he had no choice but to fight to the end.
When the sun turned west, dense cavalry appeared from the southern horizon. Five thousand Yan cavalry appeared near the battlefield, and the coalition forces behind Qi Chou finally reacted.
The leader of the five thousand Yan Army cavalry was a general named Wu. He led his own soldiers to line up at the front of the five thousand cavalry, with the flag bearer holding a large green flag high, and the big word "Wu" clearly visible.
"Kill——" Wu Yujie waved his halberd and shouted.
The thundering sound of horse hooves and the passionate blaring of horns are getting closer and closer along with the violent shaking of the ground.
"Hoo ho... ho ho..." A group of Di cavalry also roared to fight, and the shouts of the two armies echoed among the mountains for a long time.
The battlefield, which had already been decided, suddenly received a breath of fresh air. The remaining Zhou army cheered for joy, while Di Qi, who had been fighting for a long time, looked depressed. This change made Yiqu Tituo want to curse.
Wu Yujie came to the battlefield outside the Great Wall to "dedicate his merits". In the first battle between the Yan State and the Goryeo Army, his uncle Wu Huaiqing returned with a huge defeat, which seriously damaged the morale of the Yan Army. After the war, he was directly dismissed from the general's military position, and he himself was a lieutenant.
He also became a false captain.
When he first came to the main battlefield of Chen Kingdom, Wu Yujie was eager to make contributions.
Shouting: "Kill for me, Dayan..."
The soldiers behind the sound raised their weapons at the same time and shouted in unison: "Kill..."
When more soldiers heard the shouting, everyone looked excited. They all tried their best and shouted wildly: "Kill..."
The sound of killing penetrated the sky, as if the clouds were shattered.
The confrontation in Shoujiang City has been going on for two years. With more than a million troops gathering, the Hu and Di tribes are struggling to support it, and they cannot sustain it for long.
With more than one million people, Hu Di's logistics needed to deal with at least twice that number of horses and ten times that number of sheep, not to mention the fine materials. In the winter, even the Zhou army's horses were skinny and boneless.
Just using coarse materials can make a few hundred miles around Shoujiang City desolate.
Those millions of sheep could eat away every grass root. In the two years of confrontation, the biggest change was not the troops and horses on both sides, but the landscape of Shoujiang City.
The good pastures that used to be rich in water and grass are now covered in yellow soil.
The Central Plains Allied Forces have the joint support of Weiguo, Yanguo, Chenguo, Beijiang, etc., and a steady stream of grain and fodder arrives every day. What does Hu Di rely on to support him?
They don't grow food. They live in pursuit of water and grass. In the past two years of confrontation, the difficulty of supporting the Hu and Di coalition forces is unparalleled.
In the current situation, if the Hu and Di coalition forces do not want to abandon Shoujiang City, they have no choice but to fight to the death with the Central Plains coalition forces. Wu Yujie hopes that he can make more contributions before the decisive battle begins.
Because he knew that in the future battle with a total force of three million, Wu Yujie's five thousand cavalry might not be able to become a small flag on the sand table.
Wu Yujie kicked the horse's belly lightly, sat down and the horse began to step, trot, and gallop...
Five thousand Yan army cavalry came in a formation of 500*10, followed closely behind, and advanced on horseback.
The battlefield was turbulent, and the Yan army's cavalry roared like a tide, roared like a wave, and roared like a hurricane. The roar of the galloping horses became louder and louder, and finally engulfed the soldiers.
Their shouts.
Yiqutituo's heart beat violently, and he realized that the number of green troops rushing in front of him seemed to be too many.
There were about 800 Silver Wolf Cavalry left and two thousand cavalry charged forward.
As dusk entered, the fighting finally stopped.
Only half of the 14,000 Di cavalry who participated in the battle left the battlefield alive. At the same time, only about 5,000 of the 15,000 Central Plains cavalry survived to see the moon tonight.
Qi Chou died, and only about a thousand of the nearly 10,000 Zhou troops were left. After Di Qi retreated, the remaining soldiers fell on the battlefield one by one, exhausted. Wu Yujie lost a quarter of his army, but
He won the friendship of the Zhou army and also left more than two thousand Di cavalry behind.
A small-scale battle involving 30,000 people came to an end. Battles of this level are very common and ordinary here. The only extraordinary thing is that the casualties this time were too heavy...
The moment of the decisive battle is approaching little by little. This small-scale fighting between the two sides is like the accumulation of matches. When the pot is completely boiled, that will be the day when the truth will be revealed.
…
…
Countless long arrows were shot from the woods on both sides of the mountain. They were like a huge black cloud, suddenly descending over the head of the galloping Hu Qi. The long arrows flew in the air, making a shrill scream, and the sharp sound echoed in the air.
The fear of approaching death made them tremble all over.
"Raise your shield..." Qiqu Bobo finally roared, with a look of horror on his face.
At the same time, he was mentally puzzled: How could the Han army be so fast?
In a battle with the Juqu tribe, his 50,000-strong army was defeated, and he suffered 20,000 casualties before escaping the pursuit of the Han army. He wanted to cross Chishui and return to Baishan, join the troops left behind in Wangting, and then fight against Zhu Biao's army, but the Han army
How did you find yourself in an ambush?
The sound of trumpets soared into the sky, and long arrows fell from the sky.
The screams and wailings of the Huqi soldiers, the sound of corpses falling to the ground, the pained neighing and falling sounds of war horses, the dull sound of horse hoofs trampling on breasts, and the crackling sound of arrows hitting shields were all intertwined and mixed together.
