Chaos in Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 28: Cruel aftermath

Views:

In the front direction, the Turkic cavalry and the Sui Army infantry have reached the same state as a meat grinder.

The Scimitar of the Turkic people flew down from mid-air, and wherever they passed, the spears and bodies of the Sui infantry were cut apart.

The spear of the Sui infantry pierced out, either the horse was stabbed in a hole, or the Turkic cavalry received the same treatment.

Although the infantry's defensive array is strenuously supported by the spirit of fearlessness and fear of death, the impact of the cavalry is still crushed like a tank, pushing forward little by little.

At this time, for both parties, it is a contest of will and quality.

The Sui army must withstand the impact of the Turkic cavalry and build a solid line of defense.

The Turkic cavalry will desperately move forward, smashing the opposing array.

Both sides know the fact that as long as the defensive array collapses, the wind direction on the battlefield will immediately fall to the Turkic side.

"Put all the infantry on. Form a dense defensive human wall formation. You, choose a hundred archers and draw out your knives to be the law enforcement team in wartime, but there are retreats, and you will not be amnesty!"

This is Qin Meng's all reserve team except for the cavalry. At this time, there is no care, no love in the robe, and even the most basic feelings of human beings.

Yes, after the Rumble War Machine was turned on, it was almost cold-blooded and the most sensible judgment.

All the infantry were all over.

The centurion who was spotted picked a hundred archers. Under his mechanical commands, they all pulled out their knives and formed a line of skirmishers, standing even behind the infantry formation like ants going to the fire. .

Retreat back, and kick out as long as your face is not facing back. Kick it back into the defensive phalanx.

As long as the retreating person turns his face away, stabs him down and kills him directly.

Discipline on the battlefield does not speak any emotions.

Under such frantic supervision, the Sui army's footmen seemed to be dying, and only an escape route was left in front of them.

People are crowded, people are crushing, and some can't even wave their weapons. They are crowded, squeezed, and move forward!

Turkic cavalry, resisting desperately against such an airtight wall of people, instead of being able to move forward, they gradually moved backwards.

This situation was discovered by Qin Meng and the commander of the Turkic cavalry.

Finally, at the rear of the Turkic charge team, two cavalry were separated, spreading along the left and right wings of the Sui Army's array of defenses, and outflank the Sui Army's position.

This was a very helpless choice, because the array positions arranged by the Sui Army were selected with consideration of the safety of the two wings, and all areas that were flat and conducive to rapid progress were all occupied.

Moreover, when digging the trenches, it also expanded to the two wings, and the cavalry could not pass through normally.

If at the beginning, the Turkic cavalry spread out to the two wings, then a large part of the force would be dispersed, and the force of the frontal charge would be small.

Whichever is the lesser of the two evils, or to put all the troops on the front.

This is something on the table, everyone can see, anyone can think, whether the strategic intentions of both sides can be achieved, it depends entirely on the frontal penetration.

If you can stop it, the Turks will change their tactics. Can break through, Sui Jun is the end of destruction.

Seeing the Turkic cavalry divided and outflanked, Qin Meng rode his horse to the cavalry.

"Xie Yun, you led more than a hundred horses to the left to outflank the enemy's impact, Zhou Lie, you led the rest to the right wing to meet the enemy. After dispersing the enemy, immediately turn to attack the enemy. In this battle, only victory is allowed, not Lost! If you can't complete the mission, you don't have to come back. When you come back, this general will also behead your heads!"

Xie Yun relented: "Sir, don't worry, if you can't disperse the enemy, Xie Yun will have no face to see him again! Brothers, come with me, rush!"

Zhou Lie glanced back at his subordinates and shouted: "Have you heard the general's command? You charged and died, you died for your country! Coming back to die because of military law is an act of deserter! A man who lives in the world, knows the honor and disgrace! Brothers, Go!"

Xie Yun and Zhou Lie, one from the left and one from the right, each led the few cavalry in Houya Village, and rushed down along the two wings of the Sui Army.

Regardless of the small number of these three hundred riders, they occupy a great advantage.

First of all, the Sui Army cavalry rushed up from a high view. Has the advantage of acceleration on the terrain.

Secondly, the cavalry of the Sui army is well prepared. Qin Meng's tactical concept is that the enemy's two wings spread out, and the high attack must go around far, and the speed cannot be raised in a short time.

In this way, the inferiority in the number of the Sui army's cavalry can be made up for through the advantages in speed and charging height.

The fast Sui cavalry came into contact with the unfolding Turkic cavalry, just like a tank moving at high speed, hitting a group of tractors. Upon contact, the Turkic cavalry was killed by the extremely powerful Sui cavalry People turn their backs on their backs.

With a good start, the morale of the Sui army's cavalry surged. They rushed into the Turkic cavalry and slashed. Seeing the Sui army's bravery, the Turkic cavalry immediately collapsed.

After smashing the outflanked Turkic cavalry, the Sui army cavalry immediately turned to ninety degrees in accordance with Qin Meng's strategic expectation. Like a left and right uppercut, it entered the assault array of the Turkic cavalry.

The strongest part of the charge array is in the front, and the left and right wings are broken through, which is equivalent to a person fighting, but suddenly the left and right ribs are hit hard, and they fall into an extremely passive situation in an instant.

The Turkic cavalry's overall charging formation was in chaos, and the reaction brought about it was an avalanche-like chain reaction.

Because of the chaos in the rear, the Turkic cavalry who charged in the front had no continuous supplementary force, and the momentum of the charge dropped sharply.

The situation that was gritted with the infantry of the Sui Army was also broken in an instant.

The Turkic cavalry at the forefront could no longer hold on, while the Sui Army's pressure dropped sharply. They didn't just take a breath. They also had no choice, the front was squeezed by the back, and the back was frightened by the harsh battlefield commands of the Supervision and Law Enforcement Team, desperately moving forward.

All the infantrymen of the Sui Army, like sheep chased by wolves, could only move forward. The Turkic cavalry who stood in front of them were unlucky. After being brought down, they were trampled underfoot regardless of life or death.

Let alone one life, ten lives are not enough to lose under such circumstances.

The infantry of the Sui Army was like a flood on the bank, slowly accumulating strength. Slowly, a hole appeared on the bank, and the flood slowly seeped out from the hole, and then the hole was blown up little by little, and then it was a battle for thousands of miles!

The Turkic cavalry saw something bad, and hurriedly turned around and ran.

This is not a retreat, but a defeat. Just like a frightened yellow goat, only rely on instinct to escape!

Wow!

The infantry of the Sui Army got up, and then assisted by the downhill, rushing like an avalanche, as strong as the Turkic cavalry wherever it passed, and howling was crushed by the avalanche.

At the foot of the mountain, the speed of the Sui army's infantry. It has slowed down.

The Turkic cavalry took advantage of the slow chase speed of the Sui army, and took the time to flee. After a while, all the Turkic cavalry that could run were out of contact with the infantry.

But the three hundred Sui army cavalrymen rushed over afterwards.

At this time, the Turkic cavalry, no one would observe the situation on the battlefield. No one thought that the current comparison of the numbers of the two sides, the Turkic cavalry still occupies an advantage of more than ten to one.

They have just one idea.

escape!

Get rid of the fate of being slaughtered, and run as far as possible!

The cavalry of the Sui Army chased them for twenty miles before returning to Qin Meng with their horses.

Qin Meng's heart was experiencing suffering at this time.

When fighting, he can ignore any sacrifices, and hesitate to win.

But the battle was over. Looking at the corpse mountain and blood sea on the battlefield, Qin Meng couldn't say that it was necessary, but to resolve everything he saw.

Most of the infantrymen of the Sui Army were hacked to death by Turkic cavalry's sabers, and some were killed by being rammed by war horses.

A considerable part of them were trampled to death by the crowd under Qin Meng's strict orders.

A few of them, there can be more than a dozen, were killed by their own people in the execution of battlefield discipline.

Perhaps you can say that this is war, and there is no alternative.

However, thinking about one of your orders, so many robes died. When the cold blood in the battlefield environment faded, the inexplicable sadness deeply tortured Qin Meng's heart.

An irresistible exhaustion made Qin Meng feel like he immediately lay down and fell asleep.

He did not participate in the entire battle. But it seems to be the most tired of all.

The troops slowly gathered back.

Qi Yuan was organizing manpower to clean up the battlefield. After the arrangements were made, he came to Qin Meng for instructions.

"General, there are many seriously injured brothers, they can't bear the pain, please, beg me to send them a ride."

Qin Meng's eyes rounded, not wanting the tears that had already filled his eyes to fall.

"Ask what they want... Be sure to write them all down... Tell them that as long as I, Qin Meng, will be able to help them realize it."

Qin Meng lowered his head completely, and his tears could no longer hold back, flowing like a spring.

Based on the medical conditions at the time. Not to mention serious injuries, even minor injuries, they may be infected and die.

This is not on the battlefield. On the battlefield, you can do everything for victory. After victory, you have to send your own brother. This is undoubtedly an unimaginable torture of conscience.

Qi Yuan couldn't help crying too. At this time, fulfilling the last wish of the seriously injured brother might be the only way that the seriously injured and others can agree.

Xie Yun and Zhou Lie returned to his life, seeing tears in Qin Meng's eyes, and if they were absent-minded, they didn't say anything. They didn't know what to say.

After a while, Xie Yun said: "Sir, my cavalry has won a complete victory and chased the enemy for more than 20 miles. Seeing that the enemy cavalry will not come to us again in a short time, I don't know what to do next?"

Qin Meng recovered from his lack of consciousness: "It is a foregone conclusion that the Turks will no longer look for our ministry in a short period of time. However, our ministry has suffered heavy casualties and will no longer be able to withstand a battle of this magnitude."

Speaking of this, Qin Meng looked around and estimated the loss in his mind. How could there be nearly a thousand people lost.

"Organize the manpower to raise the defensive position up to the mountain. Choose a place where you can stay safe and secure, so that the brothers can have a good life and recuperate."

"General, this arrangement means that we have completely given up on the deterrence of distant places." Zhou Lie hesitated, but he still expressed his thoughts.

Qin Meng pointed to the corpses of Sui Jun and said: "Our brothers have done their best. I, can't let our brothers not even keep all the species, right?" (End of this chapter)
