Chapter 957 personally shot
After three days of war, more than half of the troops on both sides lost. The Turks dropped sharply from 240,000 to more than 100,000, and the Dahua side also changed from 120,000 to 60,000 to 70,000.
The reduction in proportion seems to be similar, but the Turks are the ones who suffer a lot, because the bases are different.
On this day, the Turks launched another attack, but in addition to the front, there were other arrangements. They specially sent a 15,000 cavalry to bypass the front line and raid the rear of Dahua. They wanted to carry out a beheading operation and pounce directly on Luo Zhaoyun.
"Come for me!"
Luo Zhaoyun was wearing golden armor, with a majestic figure and a strong temperament. Looking at the cavalry that was raiding, she smiled faintly.
"Your Majesty, I will destroy them." Lai Hu'er clasped his fists and asked to fight against the enemy.
"Don't worry, wait until they break through the minefield." Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly. In order to prevent enemy soldiers from attacking from the back, some areas have been laid out with black gunpowder. Scouts hiding nearby will ignite the fuse after seeing Turkic cavalry entering the minefield.
Sure enough, bursts of explosions sounded, and dust flew up the area behind the side, causing the Turkic cavalry to fly around.
"Go and destroy this team. The main force of the Turks is decreasing. Our chance to counterattack is coming."
"As for the order!" Lai Hu'er was a member of the Northern Zhou Dynasty when she was young. Then after two generations of Emperor Wen and Emperor Yang, she was still stronger and stronger, and she still had the power to fight.
He brought ten thousand elite cavalry to fight directly against the Turkic soldiers and horses that were rushing through the minefield. When they broke through the minefield, their aura had dropped sharply and the number of people had decreased a lot. Some of the survivors were already timid and still scared, while others were angry and their eyes were red. Because the tribe's compatriots were dead, they wanted to avenge them and rushed over.
The two sides fought together, and Lai Hu'er held a long-handled sword in his hand, like a large guillotine, and rushed with the Imperial Guardian. He was extremely brave and slashed over with one sword, and a commander was cut in half by him as soon as he met him.
The two Turkic commanders were both powerful men of Kong Wu. They held maces and axes and joined forces to protect themselves.
"Dangdang!"
Lai Hu'er was not afraid at all. He swung the sword in his hand, which was quite unworthy of the ten thousand men, and swept across the power of thousands of troops.
After twenty rounds of fighting, a large captain was cut off by Lai Hu'er and died at the beginning.
"General's mighty!" The surrounding lieutenants and generals were fighting while paying attention to the situation of General Lai Hu'er and taking action to rescue the siege at any time. However, Lai Hu'er became more and more brave as he fought, and soon killed a Turkic commander.
The battle here is just a small episode, and the battle is still right in front of the military formation.
The troops invested today were tens of thousands of troops. The soldiers of Dahua formed a series of flesh-and-blooded Great Walls, including iron shields, hooks, sickle spears, spears, and knives, which resisted the impact of the Turkic cavalry and suffered heavy casualties.
Similarly, if the Turks want to rush through the artillery fire area and the crossbow arrow area, they will pay a heavy price, rush to the front, rush into the formation, and still kill every step of the way, ambushing them on all sides.
"Kill, kill, kill—"
After noon, the Dahua army still stood firm, but the Turks seemed increasingly impatient.
If they continue to waste like this, their troops will gradually shrink, while the troops transferred from Hedong, Luoyang, Taketian and Shuzhong will approach, and finally form a siege here.
Therefore, these few days are the last attempt of the Turks. If they fail, they can only withdraw their troops.
So far, the Turkic troops have about 120,000, but today more than 30,000 people have been invested to charge, and more than 15,000 people have sneaked into the rear. If consumed, then the Turkic troops will only be 70,000 to 80,000, and they are unable to move south again.
If it weren't for the assistance of black gunpowder, crossbow arrows, Dahua's army would definitely be destroyed by the Turkic cavalry. The mobility and impact force were still strong. With the shield alone, the infantry formation could not last long. However, with the continuous projection and bombing of black gunpowder and the shooting of long-range crossbow arrows, the sharpness of the Turkic cavalry was destroyed first, suppressed, interrupted the charge rhythm, and naturally weakened a lot.
The Turkic cavalry without mobility and impact force have reduced their strength by 40%. When they encounter collective formations in the Central Plains, the strength they can exert is reduced, which will lead to such a dilemma.
Luo Zhaoyun always pays attention to the situation ahead through a monocular telescope. He has seen that the Turks' successors are weak, so he sent a scout and began to send orders to the outside world. The ambushed soldiers, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, Luo Shixin, Guo Xiaoke and others can come out.
A big counterattack is about to begin!
"Take the war horse!" Luo Zhaoyun shouted loudly, full of majesty.
"Your Majesty, are you going to fight on the war horse?" Xiao Yu couldn't help asking.
Luo Zhaoyun nodded: "It's time for me to take action, and the personal guards in front of the palace will follow."
"Here!" Some of the horses and lieutenants of the guards in front of the palace bowed their orders to go to the battlefield with His Majesty.
The civil officials wanted to comfort him, but Luo Zhaoyun was born as a military general and led many troops to fight. He fought south and north. These ministers accompanying the army wanted to find reasons to persuade Your Majesty to be calm and not to fight in person, but they were still relatively scarce. They did not understand military affairs and could not persuade him at this moment.
Luo Zhaoyun got on the war horse, holding a cold iron spear, pointed at the battle situation behind him, and brought three thousand Yulin Imperial Guards to help protect his team.
There were not many troops deployed in the rear, but the soldiers fighting fiercely on both sides were killing less and less, and the battle circle was gradually shrinking. The corpses under their feet were layer by layer, including Turkic people and Dahua soldiers. The blood flowed in the air, with residual limbs and flesh everywhere, and the intestines and brains were scattered all over the ground, with a pungent smell of fishy smell.
"Ah!" A soldier of the Central Plains army was chopped off his shoulder by a sword, and roared in pain. His comrades beside him were red-eyed, and a halberd pierced the abdomen of the Turkic warrior, and blood shot straight to death. The Turkic comrade stabbed with a spear. The Dahua soldier who was gangly revenge also fell in a pool of blood and killed each other, and was unable to escape.
Luo Zhaoyun led his troops to fight, with the white horse, silver spear and golden armor, which were particularly eye-catching. The cavalry rushed over, and the spear was like a dragon, and he swept several shots. All Turkic knights within three meters of him were swept by his spear tip, breaking his throat, stabbing his chest, and falling to the ground.
If you don’t take action, you will be the image of a war god who is brave enough to be the three armies and is invincible on the battlefield!
