Chapter 22 Lost in the first battle
Xifengbu Lai was very smart. He divided the troops into three layers, front, middle and back. Each layer was several miles apart, and the three armies were as far away from each other. At this time, Tuoba You, who was located on the first floor of the army's vanguard, had led his troops to attack in a roundabout way.
There were only two ways in front of Chen Jinyong, either ignoring Tuoba You's troops or continuing to attack. Chen Yong obviously chose the latter, and he didn't see Tuoba You's troops rushing towards the second level of Dangxiang cavalry.
At this moment, Liu Tong suddenly said in surprise. It turned out that the Dangxiang cavalry on the second floor was like Tuoba You. The two thousand cavalry also had more than 4,000 war horses, and they rushed to the southwest with a fast horse.
Liu Tong said with a serious expression: "This Xiaofeng Bu Lai is really a talent!"
Chen Ying nodded and said, "It's true!"
Luo Shixin said inexplicably: "What do you say, why can't I understand?"
Chen Ying smiled and explained: "Feither seal Bu Lai, divide the troops into three front, middle and back levels, each of which is several miles apart. These three levels are at least ten miles apart. If the Dingyuan Army takes the lead in taking the battle, the distance between ten miles and the horse's physical strength will be almost exhausted. If you charge again, you may not be able to rush into the formation of the Dangxiang cavalry!"
Although the dozens of miles are only a very short distance for the cavalry. However, for the horse galloping at full speed, it is only a time for two incense sticks. However, the first wave of the horse's physical strength will be exhausted in just two incense sticks. Xiaofeng Bulai must have carefully studied the tactics of the Dingyuan Army. Although he did not think about the means to restrain the lances of the distant army for the time being, he adopted this method to offset the advantages of the Dingyuan Army.
Seeing more than 2,000 Dangxiang cavalry on the second floor detour towards the right wing of the southwest, the four Zhechongfus of Lingwu left army led by Chen Jinyong did not crash into the Dangxiang Zhongjun led by Xifeng Bulai, but instead followed Tuoba You's appearance and detoured against the roundabouts. Chen Jinyong led more than 6,000 cavalry on the four Zhechongfus of Lingwu left army, abandoned the enemy's central army and deviated in a large arc to the northeast.
When Liu Tong saw this scene, he said, "What's wrong with this Chen Jinyong? Why did he run away?"
Chen Ying smiled and said, "He was not escaping, but taking the initiative to avoid the real and go to the false. Chen Jinyong is really smart."
The Dangxiang army was detouring on both sides of the left and right wings. Asunasmo and Chen Jinyong had different choices. He adopted the first method to attack and detour. He led four Zhechong Mansions to charge against the enemy.
At this time, Yu Guni was overjoyed. Chen Jinyong did not rely on Chen Ying's favor to seize the first prize, but left the largest fat to himself. Although the two-level army in the front and middle levels of Xifeng Bu Lai scattered and attracted more than 12,000 people from the eight Zhechong Mansions of the Lingwu Army, he still had five Zhechong Mansions, with nearly 8,000 cavalry fighting against the more than 5,000 cavalry under Xifeng Bu Lai, and still had some advantage in terms of number.
"Kill, kill!" Yu Guni shouted and shouted, and the soldiers of the Lingwu Army under his command also shouted. More than 8,000 war horses had more than 32,000 horses and their hooves were shaking on the grass. Although there were only more than 8,000 troops in the Lingwu Army, they created the momentum of a group of thousands of troops charging, which was terrifying.
If it were other Turkic troops, if there were few enemies and more enemies, they would have probably dropped their weapons and turned their horses to run as far as they were. Unfortunately, although this was the Turkic army, it was a more fierce Dangxiang cavalry.
The Dangxiang people are also a stranger. They were originally a branch of the Western Qiang tribe. However, as the Xianbei tribe raised up, the Qiang tribe was tortured to death. After the demise of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Tuoba tribe split up. Some of them changed the Han surname Yuan tribe, while others were unwilling to be sinicized. So they went into exile to the northwest and lived with the Qiang tribe, gradually becoming the current Dangxiang tribe. The Dangxiang tribe was surrounded by their enemies, including Xianbei Tuyuhun and Tubo. Under the surround of the powerful enemies, in order to survive, the Dangxiang people became more fierce and brave.
"It's a little more interesting. I'm not too disappointed!" Xifeng Bulai looked at the Lingwu Army who was rushing in, with a faint smile on his face. He waved his hand gently behind. The Dangxiang cavalry who received the order from Xifeng Bulai rushed forward fearlessly.
The Prime Minister collided once without any chance, but this time he encountered the enemy, Yu Guni, who was in the formation, felt completely different from before.
If the past, the Lingwu Army faced the Turkic cavalry like a sharp machete that hit a watermelon, and inserted it in with a little force. However, this time it was like hitting a hard stone! The impact of the Dangxiang cavalry had already been raised. As the gold and stone hit, the stone chips flew away, and the knife was bent by the recoil force. Although Yu Guni had more than 8,000 people under his command, it was nearly twice as many Dangxiang cavalry under the command of Xifeng Bulai, but he was at a disadvantage under the force of the attack.
The Dangxiang clan was completely different from the Song Dynasty. At this time, the entire Dangxiang clan had only more than 100,000 people. Among them, only 10,000 soldiers were able to conquer war-friendly. Although the number of Dangxiang people was not large, they were very well equipped, especially the more than 5,000 cavalry under Xiaofeng Bu Lai were wearing a fine steel armor, and their defense ability was much stronger than the leather armor equipped by the Lingwu Army. Moreover, all the weapons in their hands were refined steel, with extremely strong lethality.
Some of these generals were able to protect Xifengbu Lai and fight for a bloody path when the Sui Dynasty army was defeated by Sashui and were wiped out. They were by no means comparable to ordinary weak chickens. At this time, the two armies met in field battles, and the strong were strong and head-on. Yu Guni not only could not rush into the opponent's queue, but was inserted in reverse by Xifengbu Lai!
Luo Shixin's eyes were rounded: "How is this possible?"
Although Luo Shixin couldn't stand Yu Guni's coquettishness towards Chen Ying, it is undeniable that Yu Guni is a rare powerful general, especially when he seized the opportunity on the battlefield, even Luo Shixin believed that he was not as good as him.
"I originally thought that there was no need for Dingyuan Army to fight, but now it seems that it will not work!" Chen Ying said calmly: "Prepare to pick up Yu Guni!"
The performance of the Lingwu Army at this time was also remarkable. A Lingwu soldier whose arm was cut off by the enemy gritted his teeth and rushed to a Dangxiang cavalry from the horse's back. The two rolled to the ground at the same time, and were trampled into a vague mass of meat by the horse's hooves of both sides.
If in the past, these Turks would never have fought so hard, because after they died, their older sons would be killed, and their younger sons would be sons for others. But now it is different. As long as they die in battle, Chen Ying will give them pensions and no one can infringe on their property. In this way, they will be spared their worries. Of course, some people will say that the Turks regard young and strong as their strong, and when they encounter danger, their parents, young and old, will be abandoned. In fact, this is nonsense. People are not animals, and animals still know how to feed back. If it is not a last resort, who would be willing to abandon their wife and children and escape alone?
A shoulder was covered in blood and blood by the Dangxiang cavalry, revealing white bones, which was very terrifying. However, he retreated, swung the unbearable arm, and put a rope around the waist on his waist. At this time, he was already confused and could not hold on. So he sealed the rope on the saddle, then pulled out a dagger and inserted it into the buttocks of the horse. The horse was in pain and ran forward quickly. The trapped Dangxiang cavalry was pulled off by the huge pulling force of the horse, dragged it to the ground and continued to run until the horse was out of force, and the dragged Dangxiang cavalry had only two thighs left...
"Kill them all, kill all the Tang people!" Xi Feng Bulai roared angrily, waving the one-horned bronze man in his hand, clashing left and right among the Lingwu Army, no one could do it.
Yu Guni was so angry that his eyes were about to break apart, but he had no choice but to do anything. The veterans of the left army of Lingwu Army, Liangzhechong Mansion could still hold on, but unexpectedly, dozens of new soldiers from the Right Army were in chaos.
The real powerhouse is good at winning and defeating. The so-called good defeat is that it can be calm even when encountering adverse situations. The new recruits of the Lingwu Right Army are very good, but the integration time is still a little shorter, so they can win but not lose. In the past, the Tang army was invincible and had the upper hand, so everyone in the newly attached army was brave. This time, when they encountered a strong enemy, they were easily frustrated. Once this flaw appeared, the situation became even more dangerous.
Although Ashinasmo's troops crashed head-on into the second-level cavalry of the Dangxiang cavalry, the right wing war went very smoothly. Ashinasmo's command was more than 6,000, while Dangxiang cavalry was only 2,000. Ashinasmo had almost no power and easily emerged from the formation.
At this time, less than a thousand party cavalry had survived.
Just as Asnathom was killing the Dangxiang cavalry formation, he was shocked to see that Yu Guni was in danger. Asnathom was shocked. Asnathom, as the rising star of the Asnathom family, Asnathom, on the battlefield, in addition to morale, skills and strength, he also attacked organizations.
Now Yu Guni's central army's Wuzhe Chongfu is slightly chaotic, while the Xiaofeng Bu Laisheng has already achieved the momentum. The four or five thousand Dangxiang cavalry are like rainbows, and they are rushing back and forth. The new recruits in the Lingwu Central Army are defeated first. Even after his Lingwu Right Army joins the battlefield, they cannot quickly eliminate this disadvantage. However, Ashinasmo saw that Tuoba You's troops, who had a large circle, were preparing to rush towards Yu Guni's retreat. However, more than 3,000 cavalrymen of Tuoba You's troops are gradually covering up, but this layer of cavalry is not in a hurry to enter the battlefield, but gradually formed an arc, which seems to be about to surround the more than 8,000 troops of the Lingwu Central Army. The sixth troops of Dingyuan Army have just rushed to the battlefield, and it takes two incense sticks at the fastest time to reach the battlefield. It is still unknown whether Yu Guni can hold on to the two incense sticks at this time.
Asuna Simo was stunned. If Tuoba You and Xifeng Bulai were allowed to attack each other from the front and back, Yu Guni's troops would not have been defeated at this time, but the entire army would have been defeated.
Just when Chen Ying was in a hurry, Asunasmo led his army to rush towards Tuoba You's army.
