The enemy who had been hiding behind them finally launched an attack at dawn the next day.
Not knowing when the enemy would come, the Ming army had been in full formation all night.
Rushing back and forth, the battle was fierce.
Liu Yujue was fighting against a knight who would never be seen in the Central Plains. Xia Xun was no stranger to this kind of dress. The man's outfit was exactly the kind of knight he had seen in movies about European knights in the Middle Ages.
Wearing a strange style of full-body plate armor that was as bright as silver but did not affect his movement at all, he held a double-edged sword in his hand and a round leather shield on his left arm.
The swordsmanship used by this European knight was very fierce. Liu Yujue was not used to his style of fighting at first, especially his whole-body plate armor. He slashed his body with several swords in succession, but only drew a few strokes.
A sword mark stirred up a string of sparks, but did not cause much damage to the opponent. At the same time, although Liu Yujue's martial arts were taught by famous teachers, he lacked actual combat experience. He was flustered at first and inevitably fell behind. But after fighting for a while, he
His condition gradually recovered and he began to gain the upper hand.
Seeing this, Xia Xun felt relieved and glanced at the entire battlefield again.
The battlefield was located at Xia Xun's camp. The enemy launched an attack at dawn. After more than half an hour of fierce fighting and heavy sacrifices, they broke through the Ming army's defense line. The two sides started fighting hand-to-hand. Now even Xia Xun's side began to show traces of the enemy.
The situation was already critical. The invading enemy numbered six thousand, nearly twice as many as the Ming army. The Ming army, which was already exhausted physically and mentally, and with such a huge gap in numbers, was gradually unable to withstand the attack.
Xia Xun discovered that the opponent's mixed army was no less capable in cavalry and shooting than his three thousand elite cavalry. They were obviously selected from the elite. Who in the entire Western Region had the ability to select from an elite division?
A total of 6,000 first-class knights were selected from among them, and they were all of various races from Central Asia, Europe and Africa?
The answer is ready to come out: Timur! [baidu Jinyi Night Walk Post Bar]
The question is, how could Timur grasp his itinerary, route and time so accurately? If the other party's intelligence work is so rigorous and solid, and has such an efficient transmission speed, this big collision between the strongest armed forces in the East and the West will
, I am afraid that the Ming army will have to pay heavy sacrifices.
Of course, this was just a fleeting thought in Xia Xun's mind. The top priority was to break out of the encirclement.
Xilin, Jeanne and Tang Sai'er have already arranged their attire. They all changed into the attire of ordinary soldiers and rode on tall camels. They were protected by Chen Dong and Ye An, standing not far behind him.
Xia Xun looked around and found a weak point of the enemy: the southwest.
The Southwest Army was in the direction of the baggage camp. Some baggage supplies were on fire in that direction. There were the fewest soldiers fighting on both sides. Xia Xun's eyes lit up, he drew his sword out of its sheath and shouted: "Yujue, fight quickly!"
Liu Yujue answered him with a scolding. Following the scolding, he stabbed three times in a row with a series of sword movements, forcing the knight to retreat sharply with his sword. When he just raised the leather shield in his left hand, and was about to protect the vital parts of his face, his right head
The moment the big sword was raised high and ready to strike, Liu Yujue's legs shook and he jumped up from his horse. The knife in his hand turned into a sword and stabbed straight forward.
The European knight covered his face with his shield in his left hand, and slashed forward with his sword in his right hand. There was only a flaw in the middle, and it was a flaw that could be closed immediately with his movements. However, Liu Yujue's sword was like a poisonous snake spitting out a message, and he just caught it.
Seizing this opportunity, he stabbed through the edge of his shield. The knight on the opposite side was also shouting with his mouth wide open, and the sword stabbed directly into his big mouth.
With a "pop" sound, he drew his sword, and the European knight hit the ground with a clang of plate armor.
"Southwest, fight out!"
Xia Xun gave an order, and Seha Zhi led hundreds of dead soldiers to respond in unison, with men and horses rushing towards the direction he pointed like a huge surging wave to kill them.
Xia Xun had already had a conflict with Feng Lieyan because of the breakout. According to Xia Xun's wishes, he asked Saihazhi to protect a few women and break out, waiting for an opportunity to move troops to King Hami. Together with the large group of people,
Fight and retreat to attract the enemy.
But Feng Lieyan opposed this plan. If possible, he certainly wanted to protect Xia Xun from leaving in person. But the problem was that the enemy was so cunning, and the power displayed by silently killing five hundred Jingqi was even more astonishing. The entire brigade was moved
It is like a torch in the dark night, with no way to escape. Not to mention anything else, just the road trampled by thousands of troops and horses, leaving even a trace, is enough to make experienced desert people always seem to be attached to it.
Catch up like maggots on bones.
The traces of a small group of troops walking are easily erased by the wind and sand, and they are also more mobile and flexible. Therefore, under such special battlefield conditions, a small group of troops breaking through is actually the least noticeable.
In the history books, in the cases where the Central Plains army won an overwhelming victory against the northern nomads, there are often records of the opponent's Khan fleeing somewhere in panic with only a few cavalry. This does not mean that the opponent was killed and went their separate ways.
The soldiers even lost track of the monarch. It was easy to pull down three to five hundred defeated generals despite being profusely sweating, right? The reason is that if you break through with a few cavalry, you have the greatest hope of escaping in the desert steppe area.
Sehazhi also disagreed with Xia Xun staying, insisting on protecting him and leaving during the war. Feng Lieyan said even more clearly: "My lord, the enemy's target is you. As long as your lord leaves, we can all flee for our lives.
When we come together again in Hamburg, if the Duke of the State does not leave, then we will not live and die together, but abandon life and die together! The Duke of the State has said that Feng will be fully responsible for this battle. If the words are still in my ears, we will
Do you regret it?"
These words were spoken in a stern tone and were extremely serious. Xia Xun also knew that what he said was true, so he had no choice but to agree.
Feng Lieyan arranged for five groups of troops to break out of the encirclement in order to deceive the soldiers. These five groups of troops were equipped with as much food and some ordinary herdsmen's clothes as possible. In order to keep out the cold, some soldiers brought civilian clothing in addition to their military uniforms.
Therefore, it is not difficult to do this. The main characters in the five groups are equipped with male camels in estrus. [Baidu Jinyi Night Post Bar Huangmen Neipin provides the first error-free text]
The reconnaissance team carefully inspected the valley where five hundred fine cavalry were ambushed that day. Although the enemy tried their best to clean up the battlefield, they even took away all the corpses and horses to prevent the Ming army from inferring from the condition of the deceased and the wounds on their bodies.
We can estimate their approximate number of people and the weapons they use, so as to make a more accurate estimate of them. However, no matter how clean they are, the traces cannot be completely wiped out.
Careful spies at that time had already discovered camel footprints at the scene. However, they had carefully cleaned the battlefield, and when they retreated, they dragged the captured horses with the corpses at the end, destroying the traces completely and making it impossible to estimate the number of camels.
, but since we know the opponent's purpose, we can deduce the position of the opponent's soldiers. The soldiers must use military camels, and military camels are meant to break off camel eggs.
Testicles are the engine of a man, and the same applies to male camels. However, although male camels will double or triple their running speed during estrus, as an army, coordination and cooperation are the most important, and it is impossible to raise unmale camels.
, otherwise when a battle breaks out, these camels are walking as fast as flying, and the others are far behind, and suddenly they see the female camel, which is not moving, and even jumps up and down to knock down its owner. There is no need to fight.
, he made a mess first.
The camels in Feng Lieyan's army are not used as military camels, but are livestock raised by herdsmen and recruited for carrying cargo. In this way, once they can break through the encirclement, they are the key to getting rid of the pursuing soldiers.
In this kind of terrain, horses can't run as fast as camels. Even if you have a camel, I can run twice as fast as you, and the hope of escape will be greatly increased.
At the moment, Feng Lieyan led the Ganliang Jingqi to fight to the death with the enemy. The two sides were fighting and the formations were scattered. The opportunity was in front of him. This was the opportunity that the soldiers fought for with their lives. How could Xia Xun dare to miss the opportunity? He gave an order.
Next, Saihazhi took the lead and led the cavalry to protect Xilin. Jeanna and Tang Saier and several other women rushed towards the southwest corner. Xia Xun led Liu Yujue, Chen Dong, Ye An and other people closely behind.
Five groups of men and horses acted simultaneously and broke out in five directions.
Every group of men and horses shouted: "Protect the Duke to break through!"
Xia Xun was on the same road as Xilin and Jeanne. He rushed in the middle and back sections. This was a deliberate arrangement by Sehazhi, to put him in the safest position, but when the sharp conical team broke out of the encirclement
, Xia Xun suddenly whistled, and he, Liu Yujue, Chen Dong, Ye An and others reined in the horse, turned the horse in the opposite direction, raised the knife in his hand, and made a counterattack gesture!
Although the people rushed over, the pursuers were right behind them. Their camels might run faster than the pursuers' war camels, but they were not good at riding camels, so their speed would be greatly affected. Can they really get rid of the pursuers?
, maybe someone just needs to delay the pursuit for a while, who will do this?
He does his part!
Just because there are women in his team. If there are women, as a man, he must take responsibility! No matter what his identity or status is!
There were once some great heroes who used women, and the women they loved deeply, as food on cruel battlefields; there were once some great heroes who casually pushed women, and those who were their wives, into cars on cruel battlefields.
Just to speed up his escape.
They are still heroes, because in the eyes of those who write history, they do not think that women can be equal to men, and can be equal to men's achievements and futures! In their eyes, women are just a plaything on the bed, a tool to carry on the family line, and they can be found at any time
When she is trapped in the battlefield and becomes a burden, she can be discarded at any time.
But Xia Xun is different from them. He has been in this era for a long time, and many of his habits and ideas have changed accordingly, but some of the values that are deeply rooted in his bones have not changed! He can not be a hero or a person who has nothing in common.
A great hero, but he must be a human being, a human being of flesh and blood!
Xia Xun knew that if he revealed his arrangements in advance, he would definitely arouse strong opposition from Sai Hazhi. Therefore, he only informed Liu Yujue, Chen Dong, Ye An, Lao Pang and other few people who would definitely treat him and follow his orders.
There are thirteen people in total.
Raise the sword and move the horse with thirteen horses!
Thirteen cavalry bravely stood in front of countless pursuers swarming in!
This month's fighting was really fierce, up and down, down down and up, fighting against newer ones, against quality ones, against single chapter ones, everyone showed their abilities. I just got up, my back was stiff, my arms were like
