Li Ding sent Yang Pu and other 3,000 men to go fishing. The enemy's left-wing men only pursued them three miles away before they dared to pursue him any further. The plan to lure the enemy failed. Obviously, Butel Khan had just suffered a disastrous defeat, which had dealt a big blow to his morale.
In the next three days, Li Ding and Arthurius's army launched a fierce pursuit on the grassland.
Arthurius was eager to fight, and his 90,000-strong army was expending countless troops every day. The east of the Kizilqin Desert has been controlled by the Qin army since last autumn. The herdsmen in this area have already been rushed to the central tent by the Qin army for centralized custody. Arthurius cannot get supplies locally and can only get supplies from the city of Atyrau. It's shipped here on the side, and it won't last long if it continues like this.
The Qin army didn't seem to be much better. Their supplies were probably in short supply, so they didn't dare to struggle anymore and began to withdraw north.
At this time, Arthurius received news that the Kazakh center tent was empty. The Qin army drove a large number of herdsmen from the Qinchak prairie to the center tent, but not many soldiers and horses were left behind.
So Arthurius decided to send his general Caifeis with 6,000 troops to attack the middle tent.
His decision aroused strong dissatisfaction with Buter Khan. The Kazakh account book belongs to Buter Khan. At this time, he should have been allowed to lead his army back to recover it, but Arthurius sent his own generals to lead 6,000 Ottoman soldiers. This is neither reasonable nor reasonable.
Bootle Khan came to Arthurius for his theory, but Arthurius scolded him in a face-to-face manner: "Butel, you think it's unreasonable? My Ottoman army of 50,000 people came to support you and help you regain your territory. What did we get?"
Now that the enemy army is empty in the middle tent, it is an easy task to recover it. I sent you back to recover, but you felt relaxed. I left my Ottoman soldiers to fight the Qin army alone. Do you think this is reasonable? "
Bootle Khan was immediately refuted and was speechless. What Arthurius said was reasonable, as he was the "master". Going off to do easy work and leaving the "guests" to do the hard work is really unjustifiable.
However, although Buter Khan had no words to refute Arthurius, he always felt something was wrong in his heart. Letting the Ottomans take over the middle tent was like letting someone else take over his wife. It was awkward no matter how you looked at it.
No matter how reluctant Buter Khan was, Kefes led 6,000 men and went straight to the Kazakh tent. But this place is thousands of miles away from Zhongzhang. Even if everything went well for Kaifesi, he could not be expected to deliver supplies quickly.
Seeing that there was not much food and grass left, Arthurius could not hold on any longer, so he ordered his army to pursue the Qin army northward, striving to move all Li Ding's headquarters as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Li Ding fought and retreated, and finally retreated to Romatao. To the west is the Mugojar Mountain and to the east is the Urgai River. The width between the mountains and the river is about twenty miles, and it is an undulating hilly area. There are also patches of pine forests.
Ten miles south of Romtau, there is a lake surrounded by swamps. Only a three-mile wide area on the left can be passed.
Although the terrain here is relatively complex. But along the way, there are not many terrains that are more complex than here. The width of nearly thirty miles is enough for Arthurius to dispose of an army of more than 80,000 people;
Generally speaking. If Li Ding wants to set up an ambush, he should choose some narrower places so that his troops cannot be deployed. This is beneficial to the Qin army, which is at a disadvantage.
Li Ding stopped here and pretended to fight, and Arthurius couldn't help but be overjoyed. The width here is nearly thirty miles. His army is not affected by the terrain and can all be thrown into the battlefield at any time. Li Ding wants to fight him decisively here, that is, one against four, this is courting death!
The two sides faced each other with hundreds of thousands of troops. The Qin army was in the north and the enemy army was in the south. Flags were like clouds and murderous intent was fluttering. The air seemed to be condensed, and a heavy breath shrouded the sky, making people feel suffocated.
The sun has turned to the west and it is nearly dusk.
Behind Li Ding, a dragon flag spread its teeth and claws. Under the dragon cavalry, the 20,000-strong army was like a black forest, as motionless as a mountain. After years of fighting, the soldiers' uniforms were stained with dark purple blood, but their murderous aura became even more intense.
In the south, Arthurius's army of more than 80,000 troops was even more majestic, spreading out for more than ten miles. On the left and right flanks were the Kazakh soldiers and horses of Buter Khan and Hulaiqin Khan. The center army was the Ottomans from Arthurius's headquarters. Army.
The Ottoman legions were flying the star-and-moon flag, using crescent scimitars, and wearing white turbans. Looking from afar, they looked like a vast expanse of white, like white waves on the vast ocean, boundless as far as the eye could see. Just looking at the huge momentum is thrilling.
The tall Arthurius stood on horseback under the banner of the stars and the moon, his bright armor reflecting the sunlight. He looked at the several golden eagles hovering in the sky with a look of disgust.
If it weren't for these golden eagles in the sky, Arthurius believed that the Qin army would have been trapped long ago, and there would be no need to delay it until today.
His general, Pynost, said with some confusion: "Your Excellency, Governor, have you noticed that in the past few days, there was only one eagle hovering over us, but today there are as many as eight. Is there anything wrong with this?" question?"
The decisive battle is about to begin. As the coach, Arthurius has no intention of paying attention to the birds in the sky. He looks at Li Ding's military formation from a distance. It is said that the Qin army has a kind of firearm that is astonishingly powerful, but from a distance it is... He couldn't see any clues, and he felt a little uneasy.
He looked at the sky again. The sun was setting in the west, and night would come soon. Considering that after nightfall, the more troops there were, the more difficult it would be to command and mobilize, and there might even be an incident in which one of his own people beat his own people. Arthur Liu Si decided not to wait any longer.
He said to Buter Khan and Hulaiqin Khan on his left and right: "I order your troops to attack immediately and outflank them from both sides. My army will meet the enemy head-on. After you complete the outflank, we can form a three-sided pincer attack." It’s not difficult to wipe out all the enemies here quickly.”
The Ottoman Empire's army was in charge of the front. Naturally, Buter Khan and Hulaiqin Khan would not object, so they ordered their troops to attack.
Waves of whining horns broke the solemn atmosphere between the battlefields. The wind seemed to suddenly become stronger, blowing the flags and rolling them, and the chilling air began to flow rapidly, now piercing people's chests.
The decisive battle to determine the life and death of both sides began in such a hurry. The Kazakh cavalry on both sides suddenly shouted violently, and the sound was like a wave, and they rushed up.
The black cavalry rushed out like a flood that burst a dike, shaking the earth for a moment, raising thick smoke and billowing dust.
At the same time, Li Ding suddenly pulled out the sword given by the emperor, Qiang! There was a clang, and the sword light like a swimming dragon hesitated in the sun, "Destroy the enemy army, today, kill!"
Li Ding shouted loudly, swung his sword forward, and 20,000 black iron streams rushed out amidst the earth-shattering drums. Thousands of horses screamed, people roared, and the air blew white into the moon!
As the war horses continued to accelerate, the flags were about to bend, countless iron hooves hit the ground, all the grass was broken, and the mountains and rivers were dazzled.
"Ala!"
"Ala!"
"Ala!"
The shouts of the 20,000 Qin troops were so high that they shocked the sky and stirred up the surrounding areas. Tens of thousands of mountains were held low for a long time. Alsleng, who was as majestic as a lion, was holding a huge mace in his hand, and the hooves of the war horse flying under his crotch were followed by 20,000 iron streams, which were like a giant cone as hard as iron. Alsleng was the sharp one. With a cone head, he rushed towards the Ottoman army that was twice his own size.
More than 40,000 Ottoman troops wrapped in white turbans also rushed out, shouting Allah. The earth was trembling violently. Looking down from the sky, four streams of smoke and dust were billowing and approaching like flying.
400,000 iron hooves pounded the earth continuously, the roaring sound was like rolling thunder, shaking the wind and the clouds. The majestic murderous aura rushed towards the face, making people feel pain in the heart, hot blood rushed to the top of the head, and the scalp was numb.
The Kazakh armies on both wings tried their best to outflank the Qin army, and like an arrow from the string, they rushed towards the Ottomans' huge military formation with an irresistible throw.
Close! Closer! You can even see the white teeth exposed when the enemy roars. This time, there is no possibility of retreat, and we must have the courage to risk death and survive.
Alslen, who was rushing in front, looked at the surging enemy formation in front of him, urged his horse again, raised the speed to the limit, and roared like a wolf again:
"Ala!"
"Ala!"
"Ala!"
