Jia Ke immediately returned to the formation, laughed loudly in front of the formation, and said: "People in the grasslands are brave, but when I see you today, they are just clowns. From now on, when I, Jia Ke, am here, who dares to call me brave?"
Sobude heard Jia Ke's arrogance in his own camp. He was filled with anger and fear. He wanted to go to fight Jia Ke in person. He didn't want to be held back by the generals around him. They all advised him: "Then Nanman
The general Jia Ke is an invincible hero. Only mortals like us can fight against him. The leader must not let a small loss make a big loss. We have six thousand cavalry. Although he is brave, he is made of iron and can stick a few nails. He should be the best cavalry in the formation.
, attack his military formation and defeat him in one fell swoop."
Sobude was just showing off. It was not like he had never seen Jia Ke's bravery just now. Now that he saw the generals persuading him, he just went with the flow and stopped his horse.
Thinking about what the generals said just now, I felt that it made sense. Since Jia Ke was brave and unbeatable, he sent a large army to confront him.
So Sobud ordered his cavalry to charge towards Jia Ke's formation together. It was necessary to annihilate all the Pingwei troops in order to conquer the Kaipingwei in one fell swoop.
Jia Ke saw the Tatar cavalry moving forward in front of the formation and knew that the opponent was about to launch a final attack. He urged his horse to come behind the formation and took command of the central army.
The Tatar cavalry was still running at a trot at first, but they ran faster and faster. They rushed towards them like a tide, like a large formation of Kaiping Guards. The dust kicked up by the cavalry covered the sky and the sun, and the earth trembled.
In front of Kaipingwei's phalanx, the crossbowmen had begun to prepare. As soon as the Tatars approached the shooting range, the crossbowmen in the first row fired arrows under Jia Ke's order. After the first row finished shooting, the second row continued to shoot, and then
It was the third row. After the third row had fired, the first row was ready again. It was so continuous that arrows rained down like rain.
The Tatar cavalry kept charging forward, braving the arrows fired by the Kaiping Guard's crossbowmen, and they could not stop, because those in front would be knocked down and trampled to death by those behind.
Some of the Tatars were shot to death, wounded, and dismounted from their horses. Once these three situations occurred, they would definitely die. Because the cavalry behind them did not care about them and simply stepped on them.
Sobud looked at his cavalry from behind the formation, and his heart was as sharp as a knife as he saw constant losses. These are his tribesmen, and they are the capital of his struggle to dominate the grassland. Today's battle can be said to have suffered heavy losses. First, he lost five people.
General, during the charge, a large number of cavalry were shot to death. He now hates Jia Ke deeply.
The Tatars are getting closer and closer to Jia Ke's military administration. The crossbowmen in front have fired more than ten rounds, and the Tatars have lost five to six hundred people.
Jia Ke looked at the situation from behind, waved the flag, and ordered the crossbowmen to retreat behind the phalanx.
When the Tatars saw that these crossbowmen had retreated, they were all overjoyed. Without the hindrance of the crossbowmen, they were in front of the enemy's formation again, and they could kill them instantly. They thought that as long as they charged into the enemy's formation, they would be overwhelmed.
And they can enjoy the fruits of victory.
But hope is beautiful, but reality is cruel. In front of the Tatars, a wall made of spears appeared. The Tatars had no time to stop and ran directly into it.
The spearmen in the Macedonian phalanx of the Kaiping Guard kept thrusting their spears forward, and the Tatars could not advance or retreat in front of these spearmen.
At this time, the crossbowmen who retreated behind the Macedonian phalanx began to shoot arrows again, causing casualties to the Tatars.
The Tatars also began to shoot arrows at the soldiers of the Kaiping Guard. Although the Tatars' mounted archery skills were indeed powerful, they had a flaw, that is, their horse bows were too weak to shoot at such a close distance.
Wear the paper armor worn by Kaiping Guard soldiers.
At the beginning, the soldiers of the Kaiping Guards were still nervous, and they just managed to hold on to keep the Macedonian phalanx from collapsing. But after a while, they found that the Tatars in front of them could not cause harm to them at all. The arrows shot by the Tatars
, unable to penetrate their armor at all.
When they discovered this phenomenon, all the soldiers of Kaiping Guard became extremely brave. They kept stabbing at the Tatars with their long swords, but the Tatars were completely helpless against them.
After only about a quarter of an hour, more than half of the six thousand Tatars were lost. Some Tatars could no longer hold on and began to flee.
The Tatars in the front could not accept the casualties and began to flee, while the Tatars in the rear wanted to charge forward, so the Tatar army fell into chaos.
Jia Ke saw clearly at the end and knew that the opportunity had come. He immediately ordered Feng Mo to lead a group of cavalry to fight out from the left, while he himself led another group of cavalry to fight out from the right. The Macedonian phalanx began to charge forward again.
The Tatars were attacked from three sides at once, and the chaos expanded. Sobud was very anxious at the rear and immediately ordered an immediate withdrawal. But they could not withdraw.
Jia Ke led 300 cavalrymen and rushed left and right in the enemy formation, as if they were in an uninhabited land. He led his troops into thousands of cavalrymen, killed and wounded nearly a hundred people, penetrated the enemy formation, and then turned back and charged in again, and so on.
Six or seven times, no one dared to approach him again.
The Tatars were attacked from three sides by the Kaiping Guards. They suffered heavy casualties. The remaining cavalry was less than 2,000. They had no will to resist and they all collapsed in the direction they came from.
Seeing that his army was defeated and that if he did not stop it, he would be completely wiped out, he led his guards on horseback to stop the advance of the defeated army.
But the fleeing Tatars didn't care about this and at least walked around him. This exposed it immediately.
Jia Ke saw from a distance that he was preventing the Tatars from defeating and allowing them to regroup. He saw that Sobud was not dressed like ordinary people and was protected by a group of guards. Knowing that he was a big fish, he urged his horse to rush towards him as hard as he could.
, and unknowingly separated from the three hundred cavalry.
When Sobud saw Jia Ke rushing toward him, thinking about Jia Ke's bravery, he was so frightened that he froze on the spot, not knowing what to do.
But his guard captain was smarter and immediately stepped forward to hold Sobud to the horse's head. As the troops were defeated, he ran back, but Jia Ke's horse was fast and would soon catch up. Sobud also ran away at this time.
After waking up, he immediately ordered most of his guards to separate to stop Jia Ke.
Jia Ke was charging forward, and was about to approach the enemy's leader, when he saw hundreds of people from the enemy rushing towards him.
Jia Ke was not afraid, waved Fang Tian's painted halberd, and went forward to greet him.
When Jia Ke met these teams, he rode his horse directly into the guards. Wherever he passed, people were overturned and corpses lay everywhere. The guards of two to three hundred people could not stop him for a moment.
Jia Ke killed Sobude's guards in a moment and continued to charge forward.
Sobud saw from the front that Jia Ke had defeated the guards and rushed towards him again. This time he was completely desperate. He had never thought that there were such brave people in the world.
At this time, his guard captain said to him: "Chief, if this continues, the enemy will definitely catch up. I will take the remaining people to stop him for a while. You can take the remaining people and escape quickly."
Sobud was greatly moved. He thought that once the guard captain left, he would never come back. So he made a wish: "After you leave, I will raise your family and wife on your behalf. Your son will grow up."
After that, I will grant him the title of Qianhu."
When the guard captain heard Sobud's wish, he smiled bitterly in his heart. He originally wanted to take the people with him and escape after being blocked for a while. But because of Sobud's wish, he might have to die.
The guard captain, on behalf of the dozens of remaining guards, rushed towards Jia Ke with the belief that he would die.
When Jia Ke saw them coming out, he waved Fang Tian's painted halberd and continued to charge forward. Little did he know that this group of people would fight with all their might after coming up, regardless of their own safety.
Jia Ke spent some effort to deal with this group of people. When he turned back to find the enemy leader, he found that he had run away without knowing where to go.
