Chapter 804 Unexpected Enemy Coming From the Desert
It’s not that the cavalry can’t fight under harsh conditions, but on relatively flat land, the cavalry can run fully and take full advantage of the speed and strength of the battle formation. However, on rugged and undulating ground, due to the height difference, The difference will also lead to the inability of the cavalry to cooperate well with each other.
Ma Yue was leading a part of the Bingzhou cavalry, recruiting Hu cavalry, and the first group of Xianbei cavalry. They were entangled and biting each other. From time to time, soldiers fell off their horses and disappeared into the rolling yellow dust.
The battle between cavalry and cavalry is like two snakes, constantly swimming to bite and devour each other's waist, abdomen and tail, while also guarding against being bitten by the other party.
Rushing into the formation is the specialty of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but for the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, the fighting method is basically to constantly move around, cutting the opponent's edges side by side, just like peeling an onion. Bit by bit, he tore the opponent's flesh and blood, and finally ate it.
The Xianbei army did not have much advantage over Ma Yue's queue, but it would still take time for Ma Yue to finish such a big meal, and it could not be disturbed by outsiders.
It seems that the Xianbei people are really going to fight here...
Looking at the second batch of Xianbei cavalry, Fei Qian thought to himself, is this going to double-team and eat my leading cavalry first?
How could this be possible?
Fei Qian cupped his hands towards Yuv Luo Gong and said, "It looks like I'm going to trouble Shanyu to take action."
"Zhonglang, you're welcome..."
Humphrey laughed, then pulled out his sword, waved back, and shouted, "My sons, follow me!"
The Southern Huns had just won a battle with Xianbei, and their morale was high. In addition, the number of the Southern Huns was close to 6,000, and they also had a certain advantage. Therefore, the Southern Huns roared and surrounded Yuvluo, facing him. The Xianbei cavalry rushing from the right blocked them.
On the broad battlefield, on the left side are Ma Yue's Bingzhou cavalry and the mixed troops of the recruited cavalry, while on the right side are Huvroud's Southern Huns cavalry. May suffer huge battle damage...
"Zhonglang!" Zhang Ji looked at the battle ahead, and his blood almost boiled. He couldn't bear it any longer, so he moved closer to Fei Qian, "...well, it's time for someone to go into battle, right?"
"No hurry..." Fei Qian looked at Zhang Ji, and then focused his attention on the front. Fei Qian had made a plan for the Xianbei army to turn around and fight head-on, but what he didn't expect was that the Xianbei army came so quickly and entered the battlefield with such determination...
Four thousand on the left wing, four thousand on the right wing, okay, where are the other five thousand or so Xianbei cavalry? The battle situation was indeed as Fei Qian guessed. The Yinshan Xianbei army used the tactic of involving the left and right wings and then directly attacking Fei Qian's middle army. However, when the Xianbei army actually appeared in front of him, the position was completely beyond Fei Qian's expectation. Unexpected...
Just as Fei Qian was trying his best to distinguish whether new Xianbei cavalry appeared in the distance, he suddenly heard Huang Xu's voice beside him: "Zhonglang! Look here!"
Fei Qian followed Huang Xu's hand and saw billowing yellow dust rising from the depths of the desert slightly behind him!
this……
This is the last cavalry of Xianbei!
Damn it!
When did the remaining Xianbei cavalry hide here? !
The horns sounded in front, and the Xianbei people who were fighting on the left and right wings roared crazily almost at the same time, desperately entangled the troops of Ma Yue and Yuv Luo without caring about their own lives!
Fei Qian suddenly felt a little cold in his palms. This Xianbei commander was so cruel! He actually still had the idea of winning the battle even though he was losing!
The target of the last Xianbei cavalry to be killed was Fei Qian's formation who was falling behind!
The wasteland and desert have always been a restricted area for life.
This group of Xianbei people actually risked their lives and were so determined to hide some of them in the desert, risking the heat and lack of water, and came out at such a critical moment!
Lonely Yu Huan handed the last, almost dried-up water bag in his arms to the commander beside him, and said in a hoarse voice: "Drink...drink it! Then blow...blow the trumpet! Blow the trumpet!"
After shouting the last word "Hao", Lonely Yu Huan suddenly felt that his throat was cracking like a rotten wood chip, but there was no liquid flowing in the cracked throat, as if his mouth was still filled with gravel.
The trumpeter pulled out the soft stopper of the water bag, then raised the water bag high, sucked with all his strength as the horse rose and fell, drank the last drop of water, and then dropped the empty water bag. , stood up halfway, raised the horn on his waist to his mouth...
The low horn horn sound spread far across the desert. The yellow dust raised by the Xianbei cavalry was like a huge ferocious beast. It opened its big mouth and bit hard at Fei Qian's position!
Now it doesn't look like Ma Yue and Yu Fulo are intercepting the Xianbei army. Instead, it looks like the Xianbei army is dragging the two of them. Once Fei Qian's Chinese army is defeated, it will inevitably be involved in fighting on the front line. Ma Yue and Yuv Luo's troops...
Fei Qian's heart gradually sank.
This is where you come up to fight for your life!
In Fei Qian's original vision, his own mixed formation would have certain advantages against the Xianbei's more than 10,000 cavalry, because no matter what, it was impossible to have sufficient battlefield positions for more than 20,000 people from both sides. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry was fully deployed, so they had an advantage in personal equipment and had some parts that could tear up the battlefield and expand the results. There would not be much problem in a head-on battle with this Yinshan Xianbei army.
But now, although both Ma Yue and Yu Fuluo have certain advantages against the Xianbei cavalry, the remaining Xianbei army is not limited to the two large groups fighting together, but comes from the direction of the desert. , which is equivalent to invisibly expanding the entire engagement area. In this way, Fei Qian's own side seems to be surrounded on three sides...
Although this encirclement is not very thick, it gives ordinary soldiers a completely different feeling.
"Zhonglang!" Huang Xu said eagerly, "Please step back first!"
Feiqian's Chinese Army is still some distance away from the troops fighting in front, but it is too close to the Xianbei Army attacking from the desert. If they don't retreat, they will almost be on the front line of the battle. Needless to say, the dangers involved, anyone can clear……
The last cavalryman of the Xianbei army was like a horse that suddenly entered the chessboard and stepped straight into the middle palace!
Retreat?
Or go in?
All eyes were focused on Fei Qian...
Regardless of ancient times, even in modern wars, if the commander makes a move, the entire army will basically collapse... The Nanjing Massacre, the Japanese invaders, the commander-in-chief of the national army took the lead in running away, and the result was an immediate collapse... There is still a front-line telephone contact. Under the circumstances...the Han Dynasty didn't even have a hair, and relied entirely on flags and golden drums. If there were any slight changes, the morale of the entire army would be shaken...
