Liu Rui personally led 1600 cavalry to chase at night. Because it was night and not a full moon, it was naturally lost without enough light. But there was no mistake in the general direction. Only half an hour after chizheru and others entered the camp did they appear in the east of the coalition camp.
The Han army sent out 1600 cavalry last night. There were only 1400 cavalry left outside the coalition camp. Except those lost last night, others were assigned to investigate around.
"Captain, attack?"
"Wait."
Liu Rui was not waiting for an insider. The coalition camp he saw was generally in a chaotic situation, but there was no chaos in the Chinese military area. He was a little uncertain for a time.
There were at least 5000 allied troops, but less than 1500 Han troops came, all of them cavalry.
Of course, the mobility of an army composed of cavalry alone will be relatively strong. In the field, it will fight and go if it wants to. The problem is to attack the camp.
The army has always been better equipped with more arms. Especially as the offensive side, Zhuxia has always been a cooperative operation between infantry and cavalry. Infantry can be involved in almost all combat methods. People who can use cavalry to play tricks really don't have any books left. No one has written a military book dedicated to commanding cavalry.
Liu Rui wouldn't even hesitate if he were all cavalry of the standing army. He would launch an attack immediately, but it came from non-governmental organizations to train young people for two or three months.
The standing army of the Han state is a group of professional soldiers. They don't have to participate in production. They carry out all kinds of training after eating and drinking every day. Professional soldiers must be smarter than ordinary people, and their combat skills are not comparable to ordinary people. It is inevitable that they are better at killing than ordinary people.
In two or three months, Li Kuang and his five thousand colleagues taught young people to obey orders, prohibitions and discipline. In fact, they didn't train much in combat skills, and they didn't have time to manipulate the military array.
The advantage of Zhuxia civilization lies in all kinds of military knowledge extended from culture, of which the most important is strategy and military array. Strategy works only at the right time, but the military array can be used at any time.
If an army can quickly set up its ranks after the order is issued, it can be called an elite regardless of the personal combat ability of the officers and men. After all, for the army, the role of individual military courage is really not much. It depends on collective coordination and cooperation.
The army that can control the military array can not be trained in a short time. It is a continuous exercise over the years. It runs in during the exercise to develop tacit understanding and cooperation. With tacit understanding and cooperation, we can be regarded as a real army. Otherwise, there will be no war cases in which thousands of regular troops (Elite) can easily defeat tens of thousands of mobs.
Liu Rui really wants to order to rush the camp. The reason why he can't stand it is that the scouts sent have not reported the surrounding situation. For example, are there any other enemy troops? If he retreats, what choice does he have in addition to the way he comes from? Where will the enemy flee after the defeat.
War is never simple. Both defense and attack are equally complex. There is no big hand to launch an attack regardless. Any choice of the Lord general is based on a sufficient understanding of the overall situation.
Only some ignorant and fearless people... Usually the leaders of the mob, will make a hasty decision without knowing anything. It is gratifying to win, but there is no failure waiting for the whole army.
"The chaos in the enemy camp has been going on!"
"I see."
Liu Rui himself is ready to move. Don't blame the others. They want to rush immediately. He tried his best to endure the impulse of attack and waited for the scouts sent to report back.
Someone caught someone waving a flag in the distance, and someone who understood the flag immediately translated it. The scouts reported in flag language. No other enemy troops were found around.
"Xu lie!"
"Post, in!"
"You lead the headquarters to rush to the camp. If you encounter effective resistance, you can turn to the two wings and try your best to create chaos."
"Promise!"
Xu lie was very excited when he heard the assignment, so he clapped his horse and returned to his headquarters. He conveyed the orders from Liu Rui from one officer to another, and I checked my combat readiness for the last time.
All the members of the Han Army are doing the final inspection. No one wants to die on the battlefield because of a little pre war negligence.
"Right, right, tie tight, tie a knot." Niu Shan grinned and stroked the horse's mane. He also said to paoze, "riding is not enough. Tie the rope."
Niu Shan is not the only one who asked paoze to help tie himself to the horse. No matter who is good or bad at riding, they want to be integrated with the war horse.
Cavalry is a kind of arms that fight on horseback. Life and death are known on horseback.
Once the cavalry falls off the horse's back, even if he doesn't die at the first moment of falling, he will basically be trampled to death by the friendly forces in the rear. It's just too much to ask the people in the rear to pay attention not to trample. The cavalry charging at high speed, let alone avoiding friendly forces, even if there is a sea of knife and fire ahead, it does not mean that they can stop immediately if they want to stop.
The Han Army did not launch an attack, but everyone was busy. It seemed that there was a lot of movement. Luo Xia looked very good. He was not a fool. He could see that the Han Army had entered the final stage of war preparation.
"Chijeru, agapa and rabadi haven't come yet?" Luo Xia got the answer, humed bitterly and looked at the surrounding situation: "do the leaders of each department want to die? It's still so chaotic to crush their subordinates for so long!"
"Now even if you let the three of them come together, you won't let them really get close to you." Sangli tooth had just given advice and simply killed the three people, but Luo Xia sprayed them on his face. He looked around and said nervously, "why don't you... Retreat first?"
Of course, Rorschach wants to deal with chizheru, agapa and rabadi, but now once it is dealt with, it will be chaotic even if it is not chaotic. So he not only couldn't handle it, but also paid a lot of money to buy and appease.
"Rabadi has explained that they just want to get together to protect themselves." Luo Xia spent a lot of money to Labadi, and the information he got was that, so he could stabilize. Otherwise, it should be another situation: "at least the suds won't make trouble without help. It's chizheru and those Shanshan people who should be careful."
Chizheru and agapa have gathered their hands as agreed, but rabadi did not bring the Sogdians as agreed. Of course, it's because rabadi got great benefits. He won't perform what he agreed with. It's good if he doesn't stab.
"Qiemo people and Di people have been allowed to pass. Chizheru and agapa have really secretly taken refuge in the Han people, and they don't dare to act rashly." Sangli teeth saw that Luo Xia didn't mention the retreat, so he didn't mention it. He turned to how to deal with the upcoming attack of the Han Army: "all departments haven't been in chaos. Once the Han Army rushes to the camp... The chaos will intensify."
"Cavalry can attack the camp naturally, but there are only cavalry alone, only about 2000..." Luo Xia looked at a middle-aged man who had not said a word and asked, "what will happen?"
This man is Fu Jian, the third son of Fu Hong. As Fu Hong's representative, he went to bailongdui first, and then took the initiative to follow Luo Xia's forward line.
"This time, the Han army is not a standing army, but a force temporarily organized by the people and Zhuang." Fu Jian had no expression on his face. He put his hand on the hilt of the sword hanging around his waist and said calmly, "not all Han people can fight so well, especially a temporary army."
Sangli's teeth looked at Luo Xia, and her eyebrows frowned.
Luo Xia actually frowned in his heart. He was asking questions, but Fu Jian didn't answer.
"The troops temporarily gathered together are still cavalry..." Fu Jian finally had an expression on his face, which was an indifferent smile: "of course chaos is good for them, but if there is an army that can drive and block the chaos army, the Han people who rush in... Can only be involved in chaos."
Fu Jian spoke neither Chinese nor Western dialect, but the language of Ding Ling people.
Dingling people have been the new overlord of Mobei since Xianbei went south. In particular, xigaoche has a great influence and threat to the western regions.
There is a habit in this place of the western regions. Whoever poses the greatest threat to them, their senior leaders will learn the language of that nation. They used to learn Xiongnu, followed by Chinese. Now it's their turn to learn Dingling dialect.
The conversation of several people does not need to be translated, that is, Fu Jian's Ding Ling words are really not very good.
Luo Xia had a little aftertaste before he realized what Fu Jian meant. Just as he was about to speak, there were bursts of trumpets from the Han army.
After the horn was sounded, almost as soon as the horn fell, a neat "Han army was mighty" was roared out.
"Block the gates everywhere and put down a queue to stop the routed soldiers!" Luo Xia acted completely according to Fu Jian's suggestion and looked at sang Li's teeth: "it's up to you to drive away the departments."
Sang Li's teeth didn't hesitate. He raised his right arm and smashed it at his left chest. His arm collided with his breastplate and made a noise. He left without saying a word.
The sound of horses' hoofs was intermittent. About 400 Han rode in front of Xu lie, driving the war horse to step forward slowly. They formed four columns. Each column was about 100 people horizontally, and each of the 100 cavalry was about three meters away from each other. It must be said that the queue looked really long.
After the horn sounded, the roar of "Han Army's power" was shouted out, and the sound reached the place where chizheru and agapa talked.
"We were jointly monitored by the di and Qiemo people." Chizhelu just found out this situation. Not long ago, he knew that the Han Army had launched an attack: "since Luoxia sent someone to monitor, he must no longer trust us. Whether the Han army attack is effective or not, we have no chance to hesitate."
Agapa's face was full of dead gray. Up to now, he hasn't figured out why he came to this step. Why will Luo Xia clean up the back regardless of whether to launch an attack or not to cooperate with the Han army?
"There's no choice." Agapa is not brave, but he also knows the truth that making a decision is making a decision: "fight."
"You must fight." Chizhelu observed those Di and Qiemo people who clearly put on a surveillance posture. He was no stranger to Qiemo people. He just heard some of Di people: "Qiemo people are many, Di people don't know how many weight. Wait a minute, you attack Di people, my people attack Qiemo people."
Agapa subconsciously glanced around and watched about two or three hundred Di people, but there were more than 1300 Shanshan people. Four or five people didn't make sense. However, they nodded heavily and felt that chizheru was very righteous.
Should their behavior be said to be betrayal or cause trouble? Anyway, after the decision was made, the action was launched soon.
When Xu lie led his team to attack the eastern camp of the coalition army, the northern camp of the coalition army also broke out shouting to kill. Liu Rui, who had been observing the coalition camp, immediately found this situation.
"Is it a trap for the coalition to quarrel at this time?"
"We have launched an attack. It makes no difference whether it is a trap or not."
Chizheru and agapa did not communicate with the Han Army in advance, and Liu Rui did not have a narcissism of "Lao Tzu is the son of destiny". One thing is right. The attack has begun, and there is only the option to adjust according to the original plan.
Before figuring out what was going on, Liu Rui could not change his battle plan. He sent people to understand what was going on in the northern camp of the coalition army, and focused on Xu lie's offensive.
In the northern camp of the coalition army, chizheru and agapa decided to do it and did it. About 300 horse thieves rushed straight to about seven or eight hundred Qiemo people, and more than 1000 Shanshan people rushed to two or three hundred Di people on Hula.
Qiemo people have a long history in the western regions. It doesn't matter what they were before. Even if they were rich, they have declined now. They are the Tiefu horse thief team responsible for monitoring chizheru and the Shanshan people led by agapa. They have long been prepared for a possible war, but they are still a little flustered waiting for chizheru to launch an attack with cavalry. They were chiseled through face-to-face and killed one after another from the left wing.
Agapa ordered the attack based on the pleasure of more people and less bullying. In order to encourage the rest of Shanshan people to fight bravely, he rode to the front, waving a war sword in his hand and shouting "kill" in Chinese. When he was about 100 meters away from the Di people, he was shot in the neck by an arrow and fell directly off the horse's back, The horse's hooves rolled over in the back and became a mutilated body.
The battlefield was very chaotic. Few people saw agapa being shot off his horse. Only the people of agapa Ben tribe were guilty of shouting "agapa is dead", and the rest who were not agapa tribe didn't care at all. They were baptized by several waves of arrow rain before they ran into the waiting Di people. The already guilty agapa tribe controlled the reins and chose to escape. Once they fled, they led the rest of Shanshan people to follow.
Waiting for chizhelu to attack the right wing of Qiemo people with his subordinates, he saw that Shanshan people were running away, choked up in his throat and almost suffocated. He breathed quickly and exhaled several times. He didn't want to think whether the Shanshan people were too useless or the Di people were powerful enough. The next choice was to break through with the cavalry to the North Yuanmen.
