Chapter 298 Battle of Siping
Zhang Lang rode his horse and surrounded everyone to the bank of Laoye River. Although the battle had been a few days, the officers and soldiers were still cleaning the battlefield, and corpses could still be seen everywhere on the battlefield. The slaughterhouse was immediately beside Zhang Lang.
He said with his fists: "King, most of the Turkic army was annihilated by our army, and more than 80,000 were captured. More than 100,000 war horses were seized, plus a large amount of food, grass and supplies seized. This time, the Turks were simply here
Giving us a gift." The slaughterhouse has always been cold, but at this moment, he couldn't help but say a joke, and everyone couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Lang said: "Although we won, the losses are very large!" Everyone couldn't help but think of the Battle of Zhangwu. Wu Yun summoned Wu Tianxi to lead 7,000 soldiers to defend Zhangwu to create an opportunity for the final victory of the army, but the seven thousand guards of Zhangwu
Except for more than 400 soldiers, all the soldiers were killed, which exceeded Zhang Lang's previous expectations. The power of the attacks of the Turks in this battle really made Zhang Lang look at the Turks with admiration.
"Brother, what should I do if I have captured so many Turks? It is enough to have previous prisoners from mines and roads, and I can't use so many people? Staying these people is a waste of food, and I have to feed them with food and grass!"
Yelu Qingping said a little dissatisfied.
Zhang Lang asked with a smile: "Do you want me to let them go?"
Yelu Qingping glanced at Zhang Lang and said angrily: "Will you let go of it again in the future? What I mean is that it is useless to keep these people, so just deal with them all!" Everyone didn't say anything, but look at it
Their meaning seems to be the same.
Zhang Lang smiled bitterly and said, "Why are my women and subordinates so murderous! I said, don't you think these prisoners can blackmail the Turks? The Turks seized our Sui Dynasty through the Li family.
Countless wealth can't be too cheap for them!" Everyone looked at each other, and Yelu Qingping said in disbelief: "The Turkic Khan is willing to take out money to redeem these people back? Most of them are from the servant tribe. I think the Turkic Khan is
Sweat doesn't have that good heart!"
Zhang Lang smiled and said, "Try it. If Jie Li Khan is really an iron rooster, I have other plans when the time comes!" After a pause, he said to Yelu Zongjue: "Zongjue, let's hand over the defense affairs here.
I'll give it to you. Remember, although the enemy has retreated, this is the most dangerous time. You must be vigilant and never take it lightly." Yelu Zongji bowed and agreed.
Later that day, Zhang Lang led his personal soldiers and 20,000 Xi tribes and Khitan cavalry to Siping (the previous Fuyu City). After the war ended, Wanyan Dangbo first led the three thousand Canglang camps.
The elite rushed to Siping, while Zhang Lang was worried that the enemy still had more than 100,000 troops, so he did not dare to leave rashly and remained in Kuramu. In the past few days, Zhang Lang learned from the scout's report.
The enemy troops camped in Nitou Mountain to rest, their morale was low and they had no intention of continuing to attack the east, so they decided to lead a small number of troops to support Siping.
The army along the Liao River (also known as the Ruoluo River, originated west of Kuramu and flowed eastward. It was more than a hundred miles west of Siping. A Zhendian called Shuangliao flowed southward until it was near Yingkou and flowed into Liaodong Bay. This section of the Liao River was
The entire Liao area was divided into two parts: Liaodong and Liaoxi. Liaodong had been in the hands of the Goryeo people.) He went east and arrived in Shuangliao a few days later. He then crossed the Liao River by relying on the large number of wooden rafts left by the Canglang Camp.
After a day, the army finally arrived at the city of Siping. The army was attacking Siping. Everyone of the warriors exposed their chests. Although there were only simple ladders, they were extremely fierce. People kept risking the rolling stones falling from the top of the city.
The war was extremely fierce when Zhang Lang saw this scene, and he couldn't help but say: "The Shiwei people are the predecessors of the Mongolians, and they are indeed fierce enough! No wonder their descendants were able to sweep across Europe and Asia to defeat a big Mongolian.
empire!"
Hebule, the leader of the Dashi Wei who was urging the army to attack the city, saw a Liao army appearing in sight, and he frowned and immediately ordered the Southern Wei Wei to march westward in two steps to prepare for the battle. At this time, Zhang
Lang discovered that although the Shiwei people were extremely brave in fighting, they were not the director of the array. The army array in front of them was sparse, without shields, and were all uneven spears. On the two wings of these two or three thousand infantry soldiers, they were
The cavalry of about 10,000 people. Shiwei is also a nomadic people, so naturally there will be no lack of cavalry. However, the costumes of Shiwei's cavalry seem very rough and simple. The knights on the horse's back do not wear any armor, and many people even have their chests bare.
The weapons they hold are uneven, including simple spears and various swords. However, they have one common feature, that is, everyone carries bows and arrows on their backs. Although the equipment of these Shiwei people is very poor, their momentum is
It's very tough.
Zhang Lang ordered the Khitan cavalry and the Xi cavalry to split into two groups and rush up from the left and right sides without forcing the attack. He just needed to disrupt the enemy with cavalry and shooting tactics. 20,000 Khitan cavalry and the Xi cavalry immediately rushed out and divided into two groups on the left and right.
The enemy army rushed towards the enemy formation. After a while, they approached the enemy formation. The Khitan cavalry and the Xi cavalry bent their bows and arrows to shoot at the enemy. The arrows kept falling into the middle of the Shiwei people like locusts. The Shiwei people did not have armor
There was also a lack of decent shields, and there was almost no resistance to the flying arrow rain. The Shiwei people fell to the ground one after another, but there were not many screams. The muffled groans seemed to be a wounded beast.
Angry roar.
When the Khitan cavalry and Xi clan cavalry rushed to the front of the Shiwei army formation, they immediately turned to both sides, and continued to shoot arrows while galloping. The rain of arrows continued to harvest the lives of the Shiwei people. Two cavalrymen were in front of the Shiwei army formation.
Not far away, the cavalry near the Shiwei people fired arrows at the Shiwei people, and they kept going back and forth. This was a unique circular tactic created by the nomadic peoples in the Eastern grassland. This tactic will not directly attack the formation, but will only use a bow.
Killing the enemy on the crossbow can maximize the power of the nomadic cavalry cavalry. When the enemy can't stand the charge, they will run away again. When the enemy stops the charge, they will approach the enemy again with this tactic
Continue to reap the lives of the enemy. The Mongolians in history used this tactic to kill European heavy armored cavalry without any power to fight back.
At this moment, a particularly tall and majestic man named Shi Wei shouted something loudly. Shi Wei immediately threw away the weapons in his hand, untied the bow and arrow on his back, and bent his bow and arrow to shoot at Mercedes-Benz not far away.
