Chapter 968 Battle of Taiyuan (9)
Luo Cheng led 5,000 cavalry to more than ten miles away from Loufan Pass. You can clearly see the Sui cavalry from the city of the pass, but at this moment, yellow dust rolled on the opposite side, and a large cavalry army was coming towards him. Luo Zhike ordered: "Cabinets array!"
Five thousand cavalry quickly arranged the formation, with three thousand cavalry in the middle, and one thousand soldiers on both sides as flanks. The cavalry set their bows and arrows, preparing to attack the rushing cavalry.
"General, it seems wrong!"
A general saw that the direction of the opposite cavalry was running strangely, and whispered to Luo Cheng: "It seems that he was not coming for us."
Luo Cheng also discovered the abnormality. The rolling cavalry on the opposite side actually ran towards the east, not targeting him. Luo Cheng was a little surprised. Did he want to circle around behind him?
But he felt that it was not like it. It was not a roundabout way of fighting, but it seemed like passing by himself. He raised his hand and said, "Without my order, no soldier must move rashly!"
The soldiers of the Sui army were surprised and rushed by two miles east of the Sui army and headed north. The Sui army soldiers all felt strange. Could it be that the other party was going to save Yangma City?
Luo Cheng thought so at first, but this idea was immediately overturned. If he was to save Yangma City, first of all, this army would entangle him first, and then another army would detour northward.
But now, the only Turkic army that came to fight was actually passing by him and exposing the back of the Turkic army to himself. This is absolutely unreasonable.
Luo Cheng knew that there must be something strange about it, but he had no time to think about it. He waved his sword and said sternly: "Attack the army!"
Five thousand Sui cavalry suddenly launched and rushed towards Loufan Pass.
Kang Shuoli sent all 25,000 soldiers to attack Guancheng, but he kept looking back. He was worried about forming an army, especially A Cai, and rarely saw him agreeing to fight so happily. In the past, he either made a condition or refused to obey the order.
And this time he attacked without hesitation. Kang Shuoli always felt that there was something wrong with it. Perhaps A Cai was just dealing with him and refused to do his best.
"General, it's not right! Sijie's army retreated north."
A soldier pointed to the north and shouted, and Kang Shuoli could see clearly. Sijie's army did not fight against the Sui cavalry at all, but retreated directly from the east to the north. This scene made Kang Shuoli stunned. He could not have expected such a thing to happen.
"General, what should I do? Should I withdraw the army?"
At this moment, a soldier shouted: "General Mancha has attacked the city."
The flame of hope ignited in Kang Shuolli's heart. He gritted his teeth and ordered the five hundred cavalry beside him: "Go and resist the Sui cavalry quickly. How long can it be?!"
Although they were going to die, the five hundred cavalrymen still rushed to the north under the leadership of a commander.
Kang Shuolli's heart was raised to his throat, and he clasped his hands and prayed silently, "Oh my God of Changsheng! Leave the last chance to the Turks!"
Man Cha had already attacked the battlement, and suddenly his shoulder hurt. A Sui soldier stood on the wall of horses and shot him from behind. Man Cha roared. He pulled out the arrow on his body and smashed the copper shield in his hand heavily at the Sui army. He waved his mace and smashed the head of a Sui army with one stick.
He shouted again, grabbed another soldier's arm and threw him down the city wall. His incomparable ferocity made a young Sui soldier hesitate for a moment. It was this opportunity. He climbed the battlements with one hand, jumped up onto the city wall, laughed wildly at the sky, and the Turkic soldiers under the city cheered, and dozens of subordinates rushed up behind him.
The young Sui army soldier realized that he had caused a big disaster. He shouted and jumped up, trying to pounce on the fierce Turkic general under the city wall.
Man Cha's face hit the Sui soldiers with a stick, smashing the soldiers' faces to pieces. He grabbed the young soldier's body and smashed them at the rushing Sui soldiers, smashing two Sui soldiers in a row.
"Go and ask for help! The Turkic army has killed the city." A Sui army captain shouted.
Man Cha roared, waved his mace and rushed towards the Sui army.
More than a dozen Sui soldiers' eyes were red. Under the leadership of the lieutenant, they waved their spears and pounced on them. The police waved their maces and knocked down seven or eight Sui soldiers in a row. More than 30 Turkic soldiers behind him had climbed to the top of the city and began to fight close to the Sui soldiers, opening up a clearing. The Turkic soldiers continued to surge up to the top of the city behind. A gap finally appeared in the east wall, and the situation was extremely critical.
The thousand men were particularly fierce and powerful, and they killed more than 20 people in a row, but no one could resist them.
At this moment, I heard a loud shout, "Don't be rampant in the enemy generals, take me a knife!"
The sound came to the sword, and a cold light slashed towards Manzhan like lightning. The commander of the Sui army, Wei Wentong, led two hundred soldiers to kill him. The power of Manzhan was extremely strong. He turned around and the mace in his hand rushed away. He had to do it! A sharp sound, the knife and rod collided, which made Wei Wentong's arms numb. The war horse retreated several steps, and Manzhan also made his arms numb. His feet were unstable, and he stepped back and sat on the ground.
Wei Wentong felt extremely distressed when he saw his big sword being knocked out of a small mouth. This was the big sword left by his father to him, and the gap was actually broken. He roared angrily and urged his horse to rush forward, and no longer competed with this Turkic general.
The cold light of the sword shadow slashed from all directions. Wei Wentong ranked ninth among the twenty powerful generals in the world. His sword skills were superb, and he was not comparable to a Turkic warrior. His sword skills were sharp and accurate. The swords were slashed at the opponent's vital points. Monkey was shocked and waved his mace to resist. He felt a sharp pain in his right arm, and one arm had been cut by a big knife, and the mace also flew away.
Man Cha roared in pain, turned around and ran a few steps, and rushed outside the city wall. There might be a glimmer of hope for survival when he landed on the piled corpses outside the city, but as soon as his body flew out of the city, a cold light flashed, and his big head separated from his body, and blood splattered, and the Turkic soldiers who were climbing the city were frightened.
Wei Wentong didn't care about the death of Mancha. He rode his horse toward the most dense Turkic soldiers on the city. The sword flashed, blood burst out, and screams were heard. In just a moment, more than thirty Turkic guard soldiers who followed Mancha to the city were all killed by Wei Wentong.
The morale of the Sui army soldiers was greatly boosted, killing dozens of other Turkic soldiers who rushed to the city, resealing the gap in the East City.
Wei Wentong was almost exhausted, and his eyes were getting dark, but he knew that Lou Fanguan was saved.
The death of Mancha brought Kang Shuoli not only despair, but also an endless fear.
"The Sui cavalry is coming!"
The soldiers shouted in horror, and saw that the Sui cavalry, who were originally ten miles away, suddenly appeared five miles away. They passed through the barracks and divided hundreds of cavalry to fight against the 500 Turkic cavalry. However, the main force of the other cavalry did not stop at all and continued to run towards Loufanguan.
"asshole!"
Kang Shuoli roared in anger. Sijie's unauthorized evacuation not only failed them, but also put them in a desperate situation. He only hated himself why he didn't kill that bastard A Cai earlier.
At this time, Kang Shuoli suddenly realized an extremely serious problem, and suddenly burst into cold sweat. He turned his horse's head and ran towards the city wall, "Stop siege and stop immediately!"
The Sui army's cavalry had already reached five miles away. If he did not withdraw his troops, the army would not have time to retreat and set up their horses. They would encounter a fierce attack from the Sui army, which was a price he could not afford.
When! When! When! When! When!
The bell of a hurry to withdraw troops rang, and the 25,000 Turkic army retreated like a tide. The soldiers on the city wall also saw reinforcements coming, and cheers suddenly rang out from the city wall.
The Turkic army attacked the city in infantry. All the war horses were concentrated on the positions two miles away from the back. They were surrounded by wooden railings, and seven or eight large horse circles covering an area of wide land. Each horse circle was a war horse of soldiers from various tribes. The largest horse circle was the concentration of Turkic war horses, covering an area of 100 acres and under the supervision of a hundred soldiers.
The Turkic army that was sieging the city needed to retreat first, and each of them would be on the horse and rectify the team before they could fight. The 5,000 cavalry of the Sui army was already close at hand, so Kang Shuoli suddenly remembered that the soldiers were still the fatal loophole of infantry.
Luo Cheng also discovered this loophole, was overjoyed, and shouted: "Attack the horse circle!"
Five thousand Sui soldiers were like an extremely sharp battle sword, killing towards the horse circles. The speed of the war horses was far beyond the speed of human legs running. In just a moment, the Sui soldiers rushed to the front of the horse circle. They took the lead in breaking the railing of the largest horse circle and drove groups of war horses to run north and north.
The Loufan Pass was in chaos, and the closest to the horse circle was the first to get on the war horse. Before the whole team could be completed, they rushed to the Sui cavalry.
Luo Cheng shouted loudly: "The first battalion will fight, and the other battalions will continue to destroy the horse circle."
A thousand Sui cavalry fought against the Confessor cavalry, while the rest of the Sui army continued to destroy the horses. A large number of war horses were without the obstacles of the horse circle and began to swarm to the north. The sharp Sui cavalry was driven to run north by the war horses running north, and the Turkic soldiers shouting loudly behind them. The whole Loufan Pass was in chaos. To be continued.
Chapter completed!
