Even the people in the small camp farther away from Ye Hu's camp, because they didn't know what was going on, saw that Ye Hu's big banner was indeed retreating, and immediately followed suit.
For the Turks, everything that happened that night was too sudden and too bloody. And now these two shouts could be said to have directly cut off the last tight strings in their minds.
Although they were stuck in the valley these days, unable to advance or retreat, at least they were in an advantage in the battle situation. The Han people could not even get past the wall of Hui Le City, let alone threaten the camp behind them. But it seemed that in the blink of an eye,
The world was turned upside down, and the Han army seemed to fall from the sky, completely disturbing the peace of the entire camp.
In the eyes of most people, Tujue Yehu is of course their patron saint and an out-and-out wolf king. This is because the tribesmen in Tujue Tutun hope to win the favor of Tujue Yehu even if they are to serve as cannon fodder.
It can be seen. But now I don’t know what happened on Ye Hu’s side, but Ye Hu is retreating, which is obvious to everyone.
Turk Yehu couldn't stop these enemies in front of him, so what other options did he have besides running backwards?
For a time, the Turkic women, children, old and weak all began to retreat southward without hesitation, but they ignored one problem, that is, if they ran southward, they would be far away from the Han army coming from the north, but they would undoubtedly be closer to the Han army coming from the south.
The main force of the Han army came over.
The Turkic cavalry who were originally responsible for breaking up the rear still fought and retreated in a very orderly manner. The Turks were able to defeat the Rouran people, the overlords of the grasslands, conquer the Tiele people, and even beat Tyuhun back again and again. They had a complete set of advance and retreat tactics, even if
The cavalry itself is not good at retreating bit by bit like this, and these Turkic cavalry did it impeccably.
They took turns to cover and kept shooting arrows at the Han soldiers who were pressing up from behind. For a while, Yu Yi and Xu Deyan did not dare to rush forward directly with their troops. After all, the situation in the north was still unclear. If the Turkic cavalry turned their horses,
If you attack directly back here, you will be met with disaster by the Han army.
In their positions, Yu Yi and Xu Deyan must consider the cruel reality that is likely to happen, even if they are agitated in their hearts. Cao GUI made it very clear in his debate, "I regard its path as chaotic and hope that its flag will be weakened, so I chase
", and the Turks retreated in an orderly manner, so naturally they could not pursue them rashly.
But they never expected that the Turks who were retreating in an orderly manner suddenly became chaotic. The Turkic cavalry on both sides began to accelerate away from the battlefield first, and the rest of the cavalry no longer covered alternately as before. It seemed that something happened in front.
important things.
"What's going on?" Xu Deyan looked at the suddenly confused Turks in surprise. Could it be that at this time the Turks were still thinking about whether they could lure the enemy deeper?
"The north side is obviously in chaos. Half a mile further north should be where Turk Yehu used to be, but you can see the large banner of Turk Yehu within your line of sight?" Yu Yi said in a deep voice, "This means that Turk Yehu used to be there.
Hu has already gone back to preside over the battle."
Xu Deyan was shocked: "So the battle in the north went very smoothly?"
"Maybe it's smooth, or maybe it's anxious, but at least for us, we can't move forward so slowly." Yu Yi suddenly reined in his horse, "Let's go!"
"Kill!" The Han soldiers took steps at the same time, crossing the front line where the Turks' attack began, crossing the shields and equipment scattered on the ground, and advancing northward with all their strength.
The sudden fierce attack of the Han army made the Turkic cavalry who were originally planning to go back to support Ye Hu feel overwhelmed. In desperation, they could only divide the troops into two groups. The middle cavalry who was originally planning to quickly leave the battlefield could only try their best to turn back, otherwise if they let
The Han troops on both sides compressed the Turkic cavalry into a small area, which would be a dead end for the Turks.
However, there were only three to four thousand Turkic cavalry left. Facing the main force of the Han army, which numbered tens of thousands and had already been exhausted from so many days of fighting, they had little resistance.
The Han army was originally best at crossbows, but in previous battles, it was almost difficult for the Han army to fully deploy in the narrow valleys and frontal battlefields, so there was almost no chance for the crossbowmen to display their power, otherwise the Turks
If you use cavalry to attack the city directly, you will be covered by the rain of arrows from the Han army in advance, and the casualties will be heavy.
At this time, the Turks suddenly turned their horses, and the Han crossbowmen were naturally not polite to them. The rows of crossbowmen who had fully formed formed spread out to both sides, while the crossbowmen in the middle and the ones responsible for covering
The infantry began to retreat gradually.
When the Turkic cavalry thought that the Han army was cowardly and laughed at them, they did not know that they were no different from dead people in the eyes of the Han army's crossbowmen.
"Let it go!" Xu Deyan ordered.
Thousands of arrows were fired.
The Han crossbowmen, who had spread their wings, tried their best to pour arrows at the rushing Turkic cavalry, just like the god of death opening his arms to welcome the end of life.
The cross-covered arrows almost enveloped the entire Turkic cavalry team, blood spurted out, and rows of Turks fell down. The Turkic cavalry may have never thought that they would encounter such an opponent, after all, they had faced such an opponent before.
Their opponents were mainly the Rouran and Xianbei people, who also used the same cavalry tactics, and rarely had the possibility of facing off against such a large number of infantry and more crossbowmen.
Especially during this period of fighting, the power of the Han army's crossbows was not demonstrated, so now the Turks finally underestimated the Han army. A large number of Turkic cavalry fell, and the remaining Turkic cavalry were wrapped in their companions.
Wrapped in the wave of the charge, whether they are willing or not, all they can do now is to continue to move forward against the arrows of the Han army.
In the end, only a handful of cavalry were able to rush to the front of the formation, and the soldiers who greeted them were slaughtered one-sidedly. After the crossbowmen completed the first round of shooting, the shieldmen began to advance forward again, constantly compressing the movement space of the cavalry, and
The spearman followed behind and pierced the gap in the shield with his spear at the same time. From a distance, it looked like an unbreakable steel barrier moving towards this side bit by bit.
The Turkic cavalry had only two choices at this time, one was to crash into the steel barrier and be shattered to pieces, the other was to turn the horse's head and survive the collision between Ranya and his family.
Most of the Turkic cavalry chose the former, and soon the shields were dyed red. Of course, occasionally a few shields were pushed. Before the Turkic cavalry had time to rush in and kill them, they were killed by seven or eight or even more
Many people gathered around and greeted each other with spears and daggers. The war horses neighed first and threw the people off their horses. Without waiting for the Turkic cavalry to stand up, they were simply hacked to death with random knives. (To be continued)
