"Before driving these people into the military formation, we need to use these people to attack the camp next to the Tuyuhun Iron Mine..."
Xiao Shitou yelled, strung the crossbow again, and continued firing.
The businessmen and Tuyuhun people who could not escape fell to the ground one after another, and were trampled over by the surging crowd.
Running, shooting, driving... There were two hundred people doing the same thing as them...
Wu San seemed to be strolling around in the crowd. Every time he swung his long knife, a head flew up into the air and then fell into the crowd. As a result, a bigger commotion was created.
The raid could only cause short-term chaos. After these merchants and their entourage, as well as the Tuyuhun people and the two hundred skeleton troops, they stabilized their position. The caravan warriors of various ethnic groups and the Tuyuhun armed with weapons
The Hun people, led by their respective leaders, immediately launched a counterattack against Wu San and his party.
For a time, the dirty but bustling market was filled with arrows like locusts.
Two thousand skeleton army cavalry suddenly rushed out from behind the nearly ten thousand people gathered in the market. Two thousand war horses neighed and rushed into the crowd. The caravan warriors and some Tuyuhun people who had just stood up and prepared to resist were suddenly driven to their death again.
Escape like that.
At this time, thick smoke and the sound of killings broke out in the Golmud iron mining area. The Han slaves and slaves of other ethnic groups who remained in the mining area also rioted at the same time. They used hammers, hoes, forks, and iron rods.
, Mu Bang used all available weapons to attack the Tuyuhun overseer who had tortured them in the past like a madman.
In the Tuyuhun military camp next to the iron mine, the horns sounded, and a group of about a thousand Tuyuhun warriors rushed towards the iron mine. However, just after the thousand troops left the camp, two thousand skeleton cavalry drove closer
Thousands of people rushed towards the Tuyuhun military camp.
The chased caravans and Tuguhun people who had no way to go to the sky or the earth had to cross the shallow ditch before setting foot on the land of the Tuguhun military camp, and were shot down by dense spikes of wolf-fang arrows.
As Wu San, who was gathered with two thousand subordinates, gave the order, after the first rocket fell into the Tuyuhun camp with black smoke in the sky, two thousand rockets took off again.
Almost instantly, a large group of caravans and Tuyuhun people were driven into the Tuyuhun military camp. They were not prepared to stay here. Like the tide, they trampled on the cowhide tents of the Tuyuhun people and fled to the other end of the military camp.
After a hail of rockets, Wu San led two thousand skeleton cavalry into the Tuyuhun military camp.
At this moment, smoke was billowing from the Golmud Iron Mine area nearby, and the sound of killings was loud. Nearly 20,000 mining slaves were entangled with a thousand Tuyuhun troops. Wu San saw all this, and couldn't help but feel sorry for the man named Zhao Dongyang.
The abilities and origins of the mine slave leader have been re-estimated.
The battle here at the military camp is still in full swing. There are only three thousand troops left in the Tuyuhun military camp. One thousand people were led to the iron mines and entangled by the mine slaves. The remaining two thousand people had just gathered and were confused by two thousand people.
The caravans of various ethnic groups and the people of Tuyuhun driven by the skeleton army disrupted the formation and directly blocked their charging formation. However, the two thousand skeleton army led by Wu San followed the chaotic crowd and
With some calculation but no intention, he killed these two thousand Tuyuhun warriors by surprise.
This is a tactic that Wu San and his skeleton army carefully researched and determined. Now it seems that the effect is very good. When the numbers of both sides are equal, Tuyuhun is at a disadvantage from the beginning.
As their casualties increase, defeat will only happen sooner or later, unless the 7,000 main force led away by Li Xiang can arrive in time.
After the first two rounds of charges, the Skeleton Army's two thousand cavalry tactics quickly changed. They did not continue to play the role of cavalry charging into the formation, but let the entire army begin to roam at high speed, surrounding the enemy with crossbows and bows and arrows.
The enemy's main weapon. Once the encirclement is narrowed, javelins and short axes will be used as the final means of attack.
The entire combat process was like peeling off bamboo shoots, eliminating the enemy layer by layer until the enemy was completely killed. This tactic itself was one of the tactics that Wang Junlin led Gaotai City to study.
The main force of 7,000 Tuyuhun was not led too far by Li Xiang. Although Wu San, Su Changqing, Jiang Mulang and others tried their best to blockade Golmud, the number of people was limited after all, and the possibility of someone running out of the blockade to seek help was extremely high. With 7,000
The Tuyuhun cavalry were so fast that it only took one day to arrive after receiving the news.
Therefore, Wu San led the skeleton army and did not dare to entangle here. They must fight quickly.
Following Wu San's loud roar, the skeleton cavalry surrounding the Tuyuhun people drew out their short spears one after another, and threw themselves directly into the encircled Tuyuhun camp without aiming.
The cavalry of Gaotai City and the skeleton army are equipped with the same short spears. Each person has three spears. After the three short spears are thrown, the skeleton army has one more short ax attack than Gaotai City. The diameter of the encirclement at this time is less than
Thirty feet.
After using short spears and short axes, Wu San yelled an order, and then the two thousand skeleton army brandished extended horizontal knives and charged into the enemy group from all directions for the final hand-to-hand encounter...
The two thousand Gaotaicheng cavalry led by Su Changqing and Jiang Mulang, who had been hiding behind another nearby hill from beginning to end, did not appear. Their existence was originally prepared for the main force of the seven thousand Tuyuhun people, and was also to cover the skeleton army in case the main force of the Tuyuhun arrived.
Retreat. After these three thousand cavalrymen from Gaotai City destroyed more than a dozen of Tuyuhun's main forces, they were able to retreat smoothly with little damage. This was inseparable from the cover of the Skeleton Army. Now it was their turn to provide cover for the Skeleton Army.
Wu San once again found that he had underestimated the 20,000 mining slaves led by Zhao Dongyang, because they actually killed a thousand Tuyuhun soldiers, although they themselves died nearly 10,000 people. But you must know that they are not an army, just mining slaves, death
It is unreasonable to kill so many people without collapse.
This shocked Wu San. He had to wonder who Zhao Dongyang was, what he did in his daily life, and why he had such high prestige among the mining slaves and had such strong organizational ability. What happened next made Wu San
As his pupils contracted, he also understood the reason.
The more than 10,000 surviving mining slaves crawled on the ground toward Zhao Dongyang with fanatical faces, threw themselves to the ground, and shouted loudly: "Tianzun Dharma King..."
"Nestorianism... he is... the great disciple of King Bodo in China and the person in charge of Nestorianism in the Sui Dynasty. He was originally the head of a small family in the Guanzhong area. I remember my lord said that after the war last year, the court found out that this
Regarding the relationship between people and Nestorianism, Emperor Yang Jian was furious and sent a large army to exterminate the whole family of the Zhao family. However, the Zhao family's direct descendants disappeared mysteriously, and unexpectedly they were among the slaves in the Tuyuhun mines." A piece of information suddenly came to mind, and Wu San suddenly realized in his heart
, I had a clear understanding of Zhao Dongyang’s identity, and at the same time my fear increased greatly.
