Chapter 793 Counterattack
The violent and evil formation formed by the Zhao army slowly retreated like a long bow with full force.
During the retreat, the Zhao army's formation remained intact. It has to be said that this was the result of the long-term training of the Xi cavalry of Shidexi.
In fact, when the evil and evil tactics were defeated by Song Jingang, the Xi cavalry had been trained. In recent years, as more and more battles were fought, the Xi cavalry had become more and more mature. The cavalry on the left and right wings of the Xi tribe first encountered the assault of the Turkic cavalry.
The Tuojie Cavalry are brave and good at fighting. They usually come from all over the world, but the only disadvantage is that the Tuojie Cavalry is composed of soldiers of all races. When fighting, the organization and discipline are poor.
The Tuojie cavalry, who assaulted the two wings of the Zhao cavalry, found that the Zhao cavalry slowly retreated during the impact. In the era of cold weapons, retreating often meant defeat because the soldiers were not trained enough and their morale was not high, so they all rely on formations to restrain the soldiers from advancing and retreating.
Therefore, in the battles of the Cold Weapon Age, there was no scattered line fighting, but they were all formation battles. The ancients often said that shooting the formation was to use crossbowmen to shoot back the enemy to keep the formation intact. Otherwise, if the formation was chaotic, soldiers with unstable will often escape and flee.
Therefore, when the morale is not high, the two armies will only face the decisive battle, but there is no way to move forward, which is the reason why the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road.
At present, many Tuojie cavalry thought that the Zhao army was leaving the formation and they were all chasing them bravely.
At this time, the cavalry of Shidexi's army still slowly pressed the reins backwards. A cavalry behind the hall kept shooting arrows in the rear to test whether the enemy had reached the range of his own.
Land of five arrows! Land of three arrows!
The soldiers reported the numbers one after another, and finally the enemy approached the range of their own bows and arrows.
Shi Dexi cavalry shot arrows in the back, and then drove the war horses to gallop!
The cavalry went backwards or shot arrows on their left side, and the cavalry of Xi were retreating in a staircase, with arrows constantly shooting into the enemy cavalry like a storm. The Tuojie cavalry who was chasing from behind seemed to be hitting the opponent's arrows with people and horses.
However, the Tuojie cavalry was not to be outdone, and they also fought back with bows and arrows. Some of the soldiers of the Xi army were shot down and off the horse.
The two armies advance and retreat, and keep shooting with bows and arrows!
The central cavalry formation of the Zhao army was centered on Li Chongjiu's big star. The central army retreated slowly and had not yet fought with the Turkic cavalry in the middle. However, the two wings had already launched fierce battles.
The Tuojie cavalry attacked the left and right wings of the Zhao army several times, and were shot back by the Shide Xi cavalry. The mobility of the Tuojie cavalry was not as good as the Shide Xi cavalry, and the quality of the war horses was uneven. At the beginning, they were still maintained at the same speed. Some cavalry and horses approached quickly, but some cavalry gradually fell down when they were chasing.
Even though he was approaching Shidexi's cavalry several times, he was repelled. In front of the powerful bow and cavalry, the Tuojie cavalry suffered heavy casualties.
Li Chongjiu, who was commanding the battle situation in the central government, immediately shouted: "Send the order, the rear team behind the left and right wings, retreat to the central army and replace it with the support team!"
The horn was used to convey the message on the battlefield. When Shi Dexi cavalry heard that the cavalry behind Li Chongjiu's generals and the cavalry behind the hall gave up shooting archery and ran forward. The cavalry of the support team changed to the position behind the hall and shot archery at the enemy.
In fact, the soldiers of the palace team just shot several arrows and were exhausted. At this time, they replaced the support team of the new force and began to continue to attack backwards. The attack distance of the Tuojie cavalry was lengthened one by one. Although the cavalry shot, the Xi cavalry also suffered casualties, but they were far less than that of the Tuojie cavalry.
The two wings retreated quickly, while the central army still maintained a slow speed, which was different from the decisive retreat of the two wings. When the Turkic cavalry in the center was approaching, the originally curved bow-shaped formation had long been flattened.
"Your Majesty, the Turkic cavalry are coming here. Are we going to speed up?" Etuo suggested to Li Chongjiu anxiously.
Li Chongjiu stopped him with his hands and said, "No, if our central army accelerates its retreat, it will be out of touch with the cavalry on the left and right wings. Jie Li is likely to seize the opportunity and attack any wing of our army. Now our left and right wings have gained an advantage. Now as long as we defeat the cavalry in the central Turkic Turkic, we will win this battle."
When Ertuo suggested to Li Chongjiu, the cavalry of the central army had already broken out. The cavalry of the Turks' cavalry's cavalry was better than the Tuoji cavalry, and their formation was quite complete, and the cavalry did not easily advance forward.
Zhao Jun maintained a uniform speed according to Li Chongjiu's order, and still retreated at a constant speed, and kept shooting arrows.
The two armies shot bows and arrows at each other, and soldiers kept rolling down from the horse's back. Even the Turks' cavalry were very afraid of the Zhao army's tactics of retreating and shooting arrows, and they did not dare to advance easily.
But at this time, the sound of trumpets came from the Turkic cavalry formation. Thousands of cavalry in the center broke out of the formation and rushed straight to Li Chongjiu's big flag.
The charge of the cavalry of Fuli was very sudden, but it can also be seen that they had been prepared for a long time and were a new force. They were just trying to seize this opportunity to fight, and Jie Li obviously planned to directly kill Li Chongjiu with one sword.
"Your Majesty, it's dangerous, please evacuate here quickly!" Etuo said hurriedly.
Li Chongjiu shook his head and said, "No, you must not retreat. Organize cavalry to launch a counterattack against Jie Li!"
"Your Majesty!" Etuo did not expect that Li Chongjiu had made this decision.
The military order is like a mountain, and Etuo dared not disobey the moment and said with his fists: "If your Majesty is the last general, please take care of my four sons."
Li Chongjiu said: "I will not agree to your request! Because you are going to come back alive, your son will be taken care of by yourself!"
At that moment, Etu led hundreds of cavalrymen, and turned their horses toward the three thousand cavalrymen who were fighting against the Turks, preparing to charge forward!
The undercover of Etola was facing the Turkic cavalry coming towards him, and was about to take the death and launch a charge as if they were home. At this time, the Turkic army was in chaos behind.
Etuo asked in surprise: "What's going on?"
The cavalry on the side pointed forward and said, "It was the troops of Ying Hefu, who were in charge of the army. They appeared behind the Turks!"
Etuo was overjoyed when he heard this. Ying Hefu's men finally pulled out of the assault Turkic camp. Now he had reorganized his troops and launched a fatal blow to the Turkic cavalry.
Li Chongjiu, who was in the central army, saw the Yinghefu cavalry finally completed the encirclement, and immediately ordered: "Transfer the left and right wings, the vanguard cavalry will counterattack, and a full counterattack!" r1152
