Section 242 Midnight Raid (8)
Chapter 242 Midnight Raid Eight
Despite the shaking, the warriors' front left to defend in the Western Turks seemed to be defeated by the defeated army in its front battalion at any time. However, this line of defense was still persisting, insisting on blocking the surging crowds and blocking tens of thousands of defeated soldiers. Although the battle formation had been hit by a disastrous impact, Shan Si and the others still miraculously stopped the defeated army.
At this time, Liu Shan's cavalry army rushed to the front of the line with the tide of the defeated soldiers. From the fire, he saw the back of the Western Turkic army retreating behind the opposite defense line. Liu Shan sighed secretly on the war horse.
The opponent's strategy of sacking the pawns and protecting the car has obviously been successful. Liu Shan has to admit that even if his surprise attack was successful tonight, he could only eliminate the team blocked by the opponent. It is obviously impossible to use the opponent's defeated army to destroy the opponent's defense line. There is no way. The opponent did not want to defend at all, but left behind the blocking force, and the large army has begun to retreat. Faced with a team that did not arrange defense at all, Liu Shan's strategy was obviously impossible to use.
It is obviously impossible to use your own cavalry to catch up with the opponent's team. You should know that the Western Turks' army is all cavalry, and the grassland herders' troops are different from the Han team in the south. They are mainly infantry, and the grassland soldiers are all nomadic cavalry. Compared with the speed, Liushan's Liangzhou cavalry corps are inferior to these grassland nomadic cavalry.
Moreover, Liu Shan also understood that the opponent did not retreat because he was defeated. The opponent retreated at this time obviously because he saw that he used the strategy of using the chaos to rush into the formation, so he abandoned the army that could no longer be saved, and allowed the troops that could retreat to withdraw from the battlefield.
In other words, the teams they withdraw will not lose at all, and even the combat effectiveness and energy of their retreating teams are better than their own army at this time. For such a team, even if their own army can catch up, what can they defeat their opponents?
Just when Liu Shan thought of this, Liu Shan's Liangzhou Cavalry Legion and Hebei Light Cavalry Legion had already rushed into the last defensive position arranged by the Western Turks.
When his own riot army was almost unstable, he encountered the impact of Liu Shan's powerful cavalry legion, and the final power arranged by the Western Turks finally collapsed several times in a shaky manner.
The Turkic defensive forces were quickly penetrated through the cavalry of various Liushan Legion for a time. The blood and the human body that was hit by war horses marked the beginning of the collapse of this line of defense.
Seeing that his cavalry team broke through the opponent's defensive front and wanted to continue pursuing the opponent's retreating team, Liu Shan hurriedly asked the messenger to take his orders to stop pursuing all the troops and leave behind to annihilate the team that the opponent had not yet escaped.
It’s not that Liu Shan doesn’t want to pursue the enemy at this time, but that he is chasing the enemy’s retreat at this time, and it’s no longer meaningful. First of all, it’s hard to say that he can’t catch up. Again, catching up is also a tragic battle. Even if he wins, his army will not lose less. Liu Shan doesn’t want to do such things as hurting one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of himself. After all, what Liu Shan wants to do at this time is not just to unify the Turks. In the future, there is a further way to go. On this road, what Liu Shan can rely on is the army under his control. Only the army can build a bright sky for himself in the troubled times. Wrong, it’s the earth under the bright sky.
At this time, Liu Shan did not have the idea of losing his army to the Turkic grassland. Even if Liu Shan lived for a few more lives, he would not think about this kind of thing.
After receiving the order to stop pursuing, the several cavalry corps advanced to pursue the retreating army of the Turkic troops not far away, they still carried out Liu Shan's orders without hesitation. In the military camp, they called brothers and brothers with Liu Shan, and ate and lived with Liu Shan in the military camp, but all the soldiers understood that on the battlefield, they had to carry out Liu Shan's orders without hesitation. The retreat and advance were scattered, and no matter what kind of orders they were, they would carry out without hesitation.
The soldiers in several cavalry teams strangled the war horses one after another, and the galloping army rolled up rolling wolf dust in the darkness, turning rapidly on the battlefield like a series of rushes.
Rows of swords and guns quickly spread out into cold steel jungles on the heads of the cavalry. Then, with the acceleration of unparalleled war horses, this jungle quickly passed through the shaking Western Turkic defensive position again. Wherever it penetrated, blood was rushing, and the screams were shaking.
After obtaining the troops that no longer pursue the enemy's retreat, the cavalry of Liushan's army turned their attention to the remnants of the Western Turkic army, which were still on the battlefield at this time.
At this time, the remnants of the Western Turkic army had no much combat power. At the beginning, the battle in the front battalion showed a one-sided trend. After the army infiltrated by the Turkic army caused chaos in the front battalion, the army of the Western Turkic army had no much combat power. Among the chaotic army, they not only had to guard against the enemy's regular army, but also the infiltrating army that could appear around them at any time. In this case, no matter how powerful the legion was, it was impossible to have much combat power.
Although the defensive troops left behind by the Western Turks were not infiltrated, they were not many. After all, the Western Turks Khan realized that his front battalion could no longer be saved, and after the enemy adopted the method of using the chaos to rush into the formation, he could only choose to retreat. In this case, it was naturally impossible for him to leave more troops.
Moreover, this army was hit by the collapsed front battalion army at the beginning. Although it had not yet collapsed by the impact, it was already shaky and had no combat power at all. Later, it was killed by Liu Shan's cavalry army, which naturally had no combat power at all.
At this time, it was obvious that the remaining troops here could no longer be supported, and Liu Shan originally wanted to attack the enemy camp at night, hoping to determine life and death in one battle. So when he set out, he had already done his best, not only used the troops from Liangzhou headquarters, but also used the Hebei army, and even brought the Hebei infantry corps with very low mobility. From this, it can also be seen that Liu Shan's army's determination to determine life and death in one battle.
However, no one expected that when he saw his army begin to collapse and chaos, the enemy Khan was decisively like a gecko threatened by life, breaking his tail decisively. This break caused Liu Shan’s original plan to run aground. However, it also caused a situation.
