Chapter 1416: The World of the Han Banner (106) The Great Detour (Part 2)
Without disappointing Agu Huaien, Gu Li appeared on the battlefield within the scheduled time. She did not attack the Chu army as soon as possible. Thousands of Hun cavalry rushed into the camp of the Chu army's cavalry. The small number of Chu troops left behind in the camp melted into the tide of Hun soldiers in a blink of an eye. Torches were thrown into the tent, and flames soared into the sky. In an instant, the reserves of grass, grain, and other reserves were trapped in a fire bomb.
Under the reflection of the fire, Guli led his Hun Independent Cavalry Division out of the sea of fire, and the ghost face on her face looked particularly ferocious under the reflection of the fire.
Compared to Agu Huaien, Gu Li, the Ghost Face General, is much more famous among the Chu people. She is almost synonymous with the Han cavalry's victory in every battle. Over the years, the Ghost Face General has made great achievements in fighting against Qin, and the Chu people have long listed him as the most dangerous person.
Thousands of Hun cavalry surrounded the outside, and the Chu cavalry were pinned by inside and outside. The two cavalry surrounding them were the most famous cavalry units on this continent, both in terms of equipment and combat power, far above the Chu army. The Donghu Independent Cavalry Division, which had previously dealt with Agu Huaien alone, the Chu cavalry could still rely on the advantage of numbers to deal with it. However, when the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division led by Gu Li arrived, the Chu cavalry collapsed in an instant.
Escape became the main theme of this moment.
The two cavalry divisions tacitly opened the passage in one direction at the same time, which was leading to the Chu infantry camp. The Chu cavalry, who was panicked, had no energy to judge why the enemy in this direction was so weak, but followed this gap and fought desperately to escape.
Behind them, two Han cavalry followed closely. At this moment, their team had already unfolded and kept driving the Chu cavalry to flee behind them.
The Chu army general Bai Xizhong couldn't believe that in such a short time, his 10,000 cavalry collapsed. At this time, under the cover of night, he didn't know that there were as many as 10,000 Han cavalry chasing behind these Chu cavalry. At this moment, he was commanding the 20,000 soldiers from the Right Back Camp to move slowly, originally planning to cooperate with the cavalry. Now, he found that his 10,000 cavalry might have taken his own life.
"Array!" Bai Xizhong shouted loudly, "Arrowman, get ready."
The square formations stopped one by one. They firmly stalked their positions, and spears were like forests, forming a gun formation. The archers set their bows and arrows and pointed them forward from afar.
"Call and go left and right." Bai Xizhong said sternly.
Thousands of Chu soldiers shouted loudly, and the shouts of walking left and right resounded between heaven and earth. If these Chu cavalry were allowed to be driven to attack the infantry's main formation, I was afraid that the 20,000 Chu infantrymen he brought out of the camp would die without a burial place.
The intimidated Chu cavalry listened to the shouts that resounded through the world. Seeing the brightly lit infantry formation in front of him, he also knew that rushing over like this would either destroy the army of his own, or be shot into a hedgehog by his own infantry, and the torrents in the runaway separated left and right, fleeing toward the darkness on both sides.
The Han cavalry seemed to have no intention of attacking the Chu infantry. When the Chu army was divided into the left and right sides, they also followed the Chu cavalry tightly, biting the other party's flesh and blood.
"Shoot the arrow!" Bai Xizhong ordered loudly. Even though the shouts resounded throughout the world, the Chu cavalry and the Han cavalry who were chasing themselves rushed towards the military formation.
The overwhelming feather arrows shot towards the front, and the pursuers and the pursuers were shot backwards. Before the military formation, in an instant, there were only some scattered war horses left, and they stopped alone.
The war on both wings continued. The Han cavalry chased the Chu army frantically, and the Chu cavalry who bypassed this army formation was the next target of escape to the infantry camp in the rear.
"Change the formation. Retreat." Bai Xizhong knew the opponent's purpose, but now he had no choice but to do anything. The Chu infantry slowly retreated, turning his formation into an inverted triangle, and retreating towards his own camp.
The defense of the infantry camp also became a nightmare for the escape from the Chu army. In the dark night, the Chu army, who were panicked, fell one after another in front of the trenches. In the camp, the 20,000 Chu troops who were still staying in the camp set up heavy weapons such as bed crossbows, stone cannons, etc., and kept pouring them out to the sound of horse hooves outside the camp.
They could not tell whether it was a friendly army or a cavalry that came in the dark.
As the sky gradually became clear, the 20,000 infantry led by Bai Xizhong finally slowly retreated to their camp. The camp was safe and sound, but outside the camp was like a Shura field, with corpses of people and horses all over the place, including Chu army and Han army, but most of them were from Chu people. The first trench outside the camp had been almost filled with corpses of people and horses.
The Han cavalry did not leave. Standing outside the camp, he could clearly see that at the end of his vision, the Han army's yellow dragon flag was still flying, and the Han cavalry seemed to be repairing. When they licked their wounds, would their next target be themselves?
Back in the camp, Bai Xi began to arrange the next battle. The cavalry that was protected by his own periphery was over. Although after dawn, the dispersed Chu cavalry continued to return and he gathered a lot of scattered soldiers along the way, at best, only half of the 10,000 cavalry were at most. Many people also lost their war horses and weapons, and more importantly, they lost their confidence in fighting with the Han cavalry.
Without the protection of cavalry, I will be nailed here, and no infantry can march forward under the spying of powerful enemy cavalry.
"Have you sent a rescue letter to friendly forces?" he asked the deputy general beside him.
"We have already set out. If it goes well, our cavalry will arrive at most this afternoon." The deputy general replied.
Another big defeat. Bai Xizhong looked at the Yellow Dragon Banner flying high in the wind in the distance. How did the Han cavalry lurked over from their own scouts?
After breakfast in the camp, the scouts sent were also returned. The Han people seemed to be not concerned about these scouts at all, and they did not even have the most basic warning. They allowed these scouts to approach and reconnaissance and then returned safely.
"They are making sandbags and cutting down trees?" Bai Xizhong was a little confused when he heard the scout's answer. Could it be that these more than 10,000 cavalry really wanted to use their current forces to attack their camp? It turned out that in Bai Xizhong's imagination, the biggest possibility of the opponent was to nail him to death here, which was their limit. But now it seems that the enemy did not think so.
It seemed to be confirming Bai Xizhong's idea. One hour later, the banner of the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division appeared outside the camp. With the shrill sound of military horns, the enemy galloped over the horse and quickly approached the camp. When approaching the camp, they threw out the hunched earth bags on the horse's back with horsepower. With the sound of slap, sandbags fell into the trench one by one.
The distance between the Han cavalry was very wide, and the shooting rate of the crossbow arrows in the camp was very limited. When a large-scale cover shot was above this distance, even if it was shot, it could only scratch the opponent. Bai Xizhong could only watch the opponent unscrupulously landing the trenches around the camp.
Half an hour later, the attacker was replaced by the Huns Independent Cavalry Division.
"Report!" Several scouts rushed from a distance and came to Guli and Agu Huaien. "The left-wing cavalry of the Chu army and the central cavalry of the Chu army are approaching us quickly, less than ten miles away from us."
Guli laughed, "I didn't do half a day of work in vain. I finally successfully lured them all over. General Agu, let's do it according to the previous plan. Can your brother withstand it?"
"What can't you bear with Donghu Erlang? Besides, have they been sleeping for a long time today? Now they have eaten and drunk enough, and they are just going to do a big fight." Agu Huaien laughed. A successful battle last night destroyed at least thousands of Chu cavalry, which was already a rare victory. At this moment, they are about to start a big detour. Even if the tactical action of the big detour was not successful in the end, it would be enough to have this victory at the bottom.
"We must move quickly. Now we are going to grab time with our opponents. The distance between the opponent's cavalry is half shorter than that of us, but they cannot leave the right wing very quickly. We must confirm that we have gone far. In addition, the Chu cavalry dare not rush to the road quickly at night. This is our advantage. From now on, we will spend on horseback. At noon tomorrow, we will rush to the left wing and defeat their left wing infantry. General Agu, there are 40,000 people!"
"As long as they don't hide in the camp, they won't have the chance to form a solid square array, forty thousand people, what's scary?" Agu Huaien sneered.
"Now, even if they are arranged in a solid square, we have a way to deal with it. The key is to prevent them from building a defensive position to defend themselves." Guli laughed and jumped onto the horse: "My boys, go!"
Tens of thousands of cavalry, like a flood, roared in, but then roared away. In the blink of an eye, they ran away without a trace, leaving the Chu army with only a mess.
As Guli expected, the two cavalrymen who came to help did not dare to leave in a hurry. It took time to make sure that these two cavalrymen of the Han army were indeed far away. The cavalry on the right wing had been beaten to half-disabled, and they still needed to divide some of them to strengthen the protection of the right wing. Since the Han army cavalry placed the target of the target of attack on the Baixi army, they naturally had to make all preparations.
