The first thousand three hundred and thirty-seventh chapters
Chapter 1,337 Encirclement and reinforcements
Seeing the enemy split open, Sa Kun was completely stunned. Could it be that the opponent's army also had armored cavalry?
Want to hedge against yourself?
For a moment, arrows were flying, shooting directly at the enemy in front of them, but the damage to Zhang Cheng's soldiers was not high, and they also successfully completed the move of splitting the formation. The 20,000 cavalry were divided into two, and 10,000 cavalry on each side attacked.
The two sides shifted, giving Sakun's armored cavalry forward no chance.
"Chief, charge forward, don't be wary, we have to return to Samarkand to be safe."
Seeing the enemy's cavalry give way to the passage and disperse in both directions, Venterte was also overjoyed. What they feared most now was to get entangled with the opponent. Since the opponent had given way now, they should quickly return to Samarkand.
"Hurry up and return to Samarkand."
Sakun also understood the current situation, nodded, and directly ordered the army to return to Samarkand without fighting.
"They want to run away, kill them and leave them behind."
Although they separated the military formation, it did not mean that they would let each other go. Zhang Cheng gave an order and directly ordered his men to attack the enemy from the flank.
"Chief, you lead the cavalry back, and I will lead my men to seize the rear."
Venterte knew the current situation. If they were entangled by the opponent, they would be finished when the enemies behind them came to kill them.
"Okay, you must return to Samarkand safely. I will drink with you and give you a thousand personal guards."
Sa Kun knew that now was not the time for ink stains. Someone had to stop him. This was necessary.
"Chief, your bodyguard cavalry is not suitable for this kind of situation. It won't be able to run away when the time comes. I'd better follow you back to Samarkand."
Hearing that Sakun wanted to leave half of his bodyguards to himself, Fantert shook his head directly. This scene is basically a death stream. If he keeps his armor and rides here, he will be able to run away faster than others.
slow.
"Okay, let's go."
Sakun nodded and directly led the 10,000 front troops and ran towards Samarkand under the leadership of 2,000 armored cavalry.
"Everyone, fight to the death."
When Venterte saw Sakun leaving, he shouted directly and ordered the remaining soldiers to stop the enemies coming from both sides to gain opportunities for them.
"The enemy is running away."
Seeing Fantert leading people to fight to the death, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but feel a headache. After all, they only had 20,000 people. It was too difficult to retain an enemy with 22,000 people. Now the opponent was still determined.
If you want to escape, you won't be able to stay at all.
"There's nothing we can do about running. It's good if we can eat these ten thousand people, but we can't take down the other ten thousand people at all."
He Pu glanced at Sakunde's back, a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
"Hey, let's surround and annihilate them."
Zhang Cheng is also extremely unwilling, but now he can only do this, and then take down the enemy in front of him.
20,000 people besieged 10,000 cavalry, and Venterte was extremely passive.
"Rumble."
Zhao Yun, who was behind, also led his cavalry to the front.
"General, please leave quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late."
Seeing the enemies coming from behind, Venterte's personal guards were impatient and asked Venterte to break out immediately.
"How can I leave, my brothers are still here."
Venterte didn't want to leave at all now. He had already escaped once last time, and he didn't want to be a coward twice in one day.
"I can't control that much anymore. Let's escort the general away."
After hearing Venterte's words, his guard commander didn't care so much anymore and directly asked the guards around him to escort him out of the encirclement.
Soon they chose a direction, relied on the powerful attack power of the guards to force Ventert out of the siege, and then ran towards Samarkand.
Fanterte broke out of the encirclement, but the remaining cavalry were not so lucky. Zhao Yun's 30,000 cavalry also came through the exemption and surrounded the enemy.
"Kill and fight, the one who dies, the one who surrenders lives."
Zhao Yun has always recognized only two types of enemies, one is the enemy and must be killed directly, and the other is the prisoner who puts down his sword and kneels down to beg for mercy. There is no longer a third type.
"General, Zhang Cheng has disgraced his mission and failed to stop the enemy. I hope he will be punished."
"General, He Pu has disgraced his mission and failed to stop the enemy. I hope he will be punished."
Zhang Cheng and He Pu came together to accuse Zhao Yun. After all, they were indeed responsible for failing to stop Sa Kun's more than 10,000 troops.
"Okay, let's talk about it. Logically speaking, there are 20,000 of you and the enemy is also 20,000. There must be some problem that allowed them to escape. I'm not wrong."
Zhao Yun glanced at the two captains. These people were carefully selected by him. Whether they were brave or extraordinary in strategy, they could not be escaped so easily.
"General, they have two thousand armored cavalry, with the armored cavalry as the vanguard. We have no choice but to temporarily split the formation and divide the troops and horses into two. This way we can avoid the opponent's edge. If we really insist on blocking them,
, I’m afraid the consequences will be even worse, but that’s not necessarily the case.”
Hearing Zhao Yun's inquiry, Zhang Cheng had nothing to hide and directly told him that the opponent had two thousand armored cavalry. If he hadn't reacted quickly, perhaps what Zhao Yun would have seen now would be a situation where he suffered heavy casualties.
"General, the battlefield has been cleared."
Soon someone came to report to Zhao Yun that the battlefield had been cleaned up.
"How about it?
Have you ever asked the prisoners about the situation in Samarkand?"
After hearing that the battlefield had been cleaned, Zhao Yun had nothing to say. He just wanted to know one thing now, and that was the situation in Samarkand.
"The prisoner said that there are only 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers in Samarkand. General, I think this is an opportunity."
Captain Zhang Wei came to Zhao Yun's side, with a flash of light in his eyes. Samarkand is now empty. If they seize the opportunity, it is very likely that they can directly capture the enemy's lair. After capturing Samarkand, Khwarez
If they are leaderless, they will win this battle in advance.
"No, the most troublesome thing in Khwarezm is not Samarkand, but their cavalry. What we have to do now is to encircle the point and provide reinforcements.
I believe the people in Samarkand must be extremely panicked now. The first thing they have to do now is to send people to find the cavalry who are out and ask them to come back for rescue. By then we will eat them all."
Zhao Yun shook his head. Although Zhang Wei was right, what he wanted to do now was not to capture Samarkand, but to use Samarkand as bait to lure back the Khwarezm cavalry who were wandering outside, and then bring them back.
Kill all the opponent's reinforcements.
"The general is still more skilled."
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Zhang Wei immediately understood that it was the tradition of the Jizhou Army to surround a point to call for reinforcements. Unexpectedly, it was used again in Khwarezm.
"Okay, immediately ask the generals about the enemy's movements, and then quietly come to fight with us near Samarkand. As long as we capture the enemy's troops, Khwarezm will not be able to escape our grasp."
Zhao Yun nodded and immediately ordered a telegram to be sent to the others. Firstly, he wanted to know the whereabouts of the opponent's main force. Secondly, he wanted to summon all the cavalry to fight with him, capture the enemy's main force and then attack Samarkand.
, the battle in Khwarezm was ended.
At that time, telegrams were launched and sent messages to Yan Xing, Huang Zhong, Zhou Tai, and Wei Yan. They received telegrams from Zhao Yun. Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Yan Xing sent telegrams one after another. They temporarily lost sight of the enemy's main force. Only Zhou Tai sent a telegram.
The main force of the enemy's recovery force is fighting with us in the eastern region.
"Okay, order Zhou Tai to temporarily withdraw from that area and not to entangle the enemy. After the remaining three people, Yan Xing, Huang Zhong, and Wei Yan, have cleaned up the surrounding battlefields, they will immediately come to Samarkand to join us."
Hearing that the enemy was entangled with Zhou Tai in the north, Zhao Yun was relieved. Now he was not afraid that the enemy would know the situation in Samarkand, but he was afraid that the enemy would come and go without a trace. If he came back before he had laid out the plan,
, then he may really be trying to steal the chicken but lose the rice.
"General, General Zhao Yun's telegram has returned."
Zhou Tai was feeling depressed. The enemy in front of him was not as reckless as they had imagined before the battle. No matter how hard he tried, they just hugged each other tightly and had no intention of dividing their troops. They did not give him a chance to defeat them one by one.
If I hadn't been quick to spot the opportunity and exchanged telegrams, 20,000 people would have been swallowed up by the other party.
"Okay, okay, okay."
Zhou Tai received the telegram, and after seeing Zhao Yun's order, he couldn't help but shout "Hello" three times in a row.
"General, what did General Zilong say?"
Following Zhou Tai was also the captain of the Yingyang Army. Hearing the other party's continuous cheers, he couldn't help but become interested.
"We finally don't have to fight with those Khwarezm barbarians here. General Zilong has ordered us to temporarily evacuate the eastern area and not to contact the enemy for the time being. He wants to implement a strategy of encirclement and reinforcements.
But don’t tell me, this leading enemy really has two skills. If I can capture him alive, I will see if he has three heads and six arms."
Zhou Tai directly reported Zhao Yun's telegram to the captain.
"Then I will immediately send a telegram to the other captains and ask them to evacuate with us."
After hearing Zhou Tai's words, the captain also nodded. Now that Zhao Yun has given the order, they will finally evacuate.
If you can't catch the fish, you can't fight it at all. The enemy is like a big turtle, which really makes them unable to eat. Rather than being like this, it's better to leave as soon as possible and leave this big hammer head to Zhao Yun.
After receiving Zhou Tai's telegram, 40,000 cavalry immediately followed Zhou Tai in synchronized actions and evacuated the eastern area directly.
Zhou Tai's soldiers came and went without a trace. After evacuating the eastern area, Kundrat also got the news.
"You said the enemies here disappeared at the same time?"
Hearing the news, Kundrat was also a little confused. He had been in contact with the other party before, but the other party ran away. This time it was better, everyone disappeared. What the hell was going on.
"I don't know. Anyway, according to reports from various places, the enemy here has disappeared. No one knows the specific situation."
A commander saluted Kundrat. He only reported the information and left the detailed analysis to the other party.
"Tell the soldiers to be careful and not to take any drastic action. We should focus on stability. Then we send the soldiers to disperse. I want to see what they want to do?"
Kundrat is also confused about the situation. The only thing he can do now is to be careful and avoid any problems. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese cavalry, and one mistake may lead to being surrounded and annihilated by the enemy.
Kundrat's 50,000 cavalry were temporarily resting and did not dare to take any action, while the scouts spread out and carefully searched for traces of the surrounding enemies.
Not only in the eastern region, but also in the other three regions, after receiving the news, the generals in the other three regions also seized the time to clear out the surrounding tribes. After completion, they also left their respective areas of responsibility and gathered in the direction of Samarkand.
A few days later, the scouts who left Samarkand also found traces of Kundrat.
"General, something bad has happened. Fifty thousand Chinese cavalry have arrived around Samarkand. The clan leader wants you to lead your troops back to Samarkand immediately."
