Section 10 Hunting (4)
But reality is often so cruel. When the proud smile on the corner of Koldo's mouth had not yet disappeared, waves of yellow dust appeared on the horizon at almost the same time in several directions. Looking into the distant sky with some surprise, Koldo, who was old in the war, naturally knew what this thing would cause such terrifying smoke and dust. Only the cavalry of a large group of cavalry and a considerable size could have such a magnificent scene when they ran quickly, but how could such a large group of cavalry suddenly appear on this land?
Cold sweat oozed out from the back, and the blow almost shot down Koldo from the horse's back. For a moment, Koldo could not believe his eyes. There were only Westerners in this land except for his own side. But didn't the Westerners' rangers swam in the hinterland in the northwest? Could it be that they could fly here overnight? Or the wild horse herd? I immediately shook my head and denied the absurd thought that emerged from the bottom of my heart. Not to mention that there was no such large-scale wild horse herd in the Western Regions. Just by encircling them at the same time, you can know that the visitor was not good. Are they really the Westerners' rangers? Where did the rangers in the hinterland come from?
Now it is no longer a matter of whether there is a problem with one's intelligence department or the people of the Western Xinjiang have mobilized cavalry troops to enter the Western Regions. But one thing is certain that such a large-scale encirclement must be a plan that the other party has already designed. This means that as long as he set up a tactic for the attack, the other party had already set up a strategy to encircle and annihilate his main force. Kurdo used his hand to touch the forehead with pain. Now it is unlikely to take back the heavy cavalry that has been fighting crazy. It will take a certain amount of time for the main light cavalry to change the direction of the attack. Although he has a reserve team of ten thousand light cavalry in his hand, how can these ten thousand cavalry resist the impact from several directions?
But now there is no way out. Kurdo can only grit his teeth and order the reserve team to break through the north first. Only in this way can there be a chance. As long as he can break through a gap in the north, there will always be a chance to break free from the tens of thousands of light cavalry in his hand. And this can only be hoped that the number of rangers on the other side will not be too large. Otherwise, in this situation, I am afraid that once I get in touch, I will never be able to escape again.
But when Koldo was busy ordering the light cavalry that was launching an offensive turned around and faced the enemy's attack from the rear, the ten thousand reserve cavalry that acted as a delay in the speed of the enemy's attack suddenly shattered like waves hitting the reef, turning into countless bubbles, and instantly disappeared into endless torrents. At this moment, Koldo was desperately discovering that the number of Western Xinjiang cavalry swarmed in at least more than 100,000, even stronger than the troops he had when he was without any loss. Judging from their flying momentum, it can be seen that they are a long-standing battle formation
The elite of the Western Xinjiang infantry, which was originally already in the jar, also turned to defense to offense, especially the 20,000 cavalry reserve team at this time, suddenly the entire army suddenly bit the Luobei cavalry who was eager to escape. The two sides fought together. Although the Luobei cavalry still had an absolute advantage in number, the Luobei cavalry at this time had no fighting spirit, and only wanted to escape from the encirclement. They had no intention of entanglement with the other side. One wanted to leave and the other wanted to stay. The two sides fought together and made a mess, which was the goal that the Western Xinjiang side hoped to achieve.
There was basically no suspense in the subsequent war. When 120,000 Western-English cavalry rushed over, neither the exhausted Luobei heavy cavalry nor the Luobei light cavalry who had lost their fighting spirit could make a decent resistance to joining the battle situation. It was like rolling soup and pouring snow. Although the 120,000 Western-English cavalry swept across the country, although this resistance seemed so powerless and helpless. After seeing the opportunity to escape, a large number of Luobei light cavalry had to put down their weapons and jump off their horses to join the surrender team. Instead, the heavy armored cavalry who had already launched a full-scale attack on the Western-English army were extremely tenacious. However, facing the Western-English cavalry with absolute advantage, their resistance was just to add a few rays of Luobei's unjust souls to this land.
Koldo was not captured, but he was almost kidnapped by his personal soldiers. In the face of such a catastrophic war, he did not want to escape. When all 120,000 rangers were shown in his vision, he knew that his military career had ended. Whether he could escape or not, it was no longer important, and he wanted to leave his life on this land. But the personal soldiers did not think so. They did their duties. When Koldo was about to lead the last remaining troops to fight to the death, several personal soldiers knocked down Koldo and then used the bloody path that two 10,000 cavalry light cavalry to fight to the death, threatening the wise general who was smart but was mistaken, finally fled in panic.
Tu Da could hardly believe his ears. He had the urge to personally drag the guy in front of him out and cut him into pieces. How could this be possible? A hundred thousand army was still alive and roaring on the Western Regions the day before. Why did this guy report the news to him overnight and was wiped out by the entire army?
The generals under the tent were also making noise. No one believed the guy in front of him, who was soaked with scars and fatigue. They even doubted whether this guy surrendered to the people of Xijiang, so they were specially ordered to lie about military affairs, trying to trick their side into withdrawing troops to alleviate the plight of Xijiang.
But when Tu Da stopped the angry generals asked the other party to explain the situation in detail, Tu Da's heart was like a broken kite shakingly falling towards the endless abyss, and there was no hope. The generals in the tent wanted to interrupt the guy's narrative several times, but when they saw the head coach's face was so gloomy and scary, they couldn't help but take back their conversation. They didn't know why the head coach had such a performance. How could so many cavalry troops appear in the Western Regions at once, and there were four Ranger regiments in the northwest and their reserves were also on the Tengger Grassland. So many cavalry emerged in the Western Regions at once. Could it be that the people in the Western Regions be immortals who can turn infantry into cavalry overnight? They didn't believe the lies of the person in front of them at all.
But Tu Da believed that the doubts that had been hovering in his mind had finally come true. He had never believed that the head coach of the Western Xinjiang, Ling Tianfang, would respond to his offensive in such a passive manner. In the past few days, the Western Xinjiang people were already stretched in front of his own millstone tactics. His mixed tactics of light and heavy cavalry made the Western Xinjiang people who rely closely on the passive defense of the infantry suffered enough. Although they also came up with endless means to deal with it, it was just that the minor skills were difficult to play a fundamental decisive role. At most, they could only take more detours on the road to victory and pay more prices. It was only at this time that Tu Da realized that the opponent on the opposite side was worthy of being a giant crocodile hidden under the water. If he didn't take action, he would completely break his dreams and let himself sink into the abyss and never turn over.
It is indeed a brilliant, and he chewed the bitter fruit a little bitterly. No wonder the intelligence from the northwest seemed so consistent and accurate. Tu Da was sure that his intelligence system in Western Xinjiang must have been infiltrated by the security departments in Western Xinjiang. Otherwise, they would not be able to provide themselves with such "full and accurate" intelligence. The four Rangers did implement an ambush plan, but they did not ambush in the northwest. When they arrived in the Western Regions, it was ridiculous that he thought the other party was trying to lure the enemy into depth. Unexpectedly, a small empty city plan scared him like this. But now all this is meaningless. Now it is not a matter of the intelligence system. How to bring the power back to Barona is the top priority. The overall situation of the southern line has been settled, and more than 100,000 cavalrymen from Western Xinjiang will definitely come back without stopping to take advantage of the victory. If he does not react immediately, he will really ruin the vitality of the Luobei clan here.
On June 2, 699, the Second Corps of the Western Xinjiang and the Indian and Dean Division, together with four Rangers, launched a battle with the Luobeinan invaders in the Maoergai wasteland area in the Wusun area of the Western Regions. The Luobei army, which suffered a counterattack by four Rangers, was defeated. The 100,000 troops were less than 6,000 people fled to the Tenggeli Grassland, and the rest were either killed in battle or captured. In this service, Helianbo and Hu Yanqiu successfully wiped out the Luobeinan invaders after paying the heavy price of the two divisions, capturing more than 50,000 Luobei cavalry, once again proved to the Central Continent that the rise of Western Xinjiang was irreversible, and at the same time, it showed the Tengger Grassland that there was no doubt about the dominant position on the East Tengger Grassland.
As soon as he learned that the army on the southern front was wiped out, Tu Da, the commander of the Eastern Expedition, announced that he would resign as commander of the western commander of the Eastern Expedition and commander of the Eastern Expedition. However, in view of the current difficult situation, before returning to Barona, he still temporarily served as commander of the Eastern Expedition and ordered the withdrawal of troops to return west immediately.
Before withdrawing troops to return to the west, Tu Da wrote a letter to the veterans' meeting to recommend Ha Xian, who had just been lifted out of prison, to serve as the commander of the Western Front. At the same time, he also wrote a handwritten letter to Ha Xian to send it to the Western Front camp opposite, asking him to directly meet with the commander of the Western Front Army Ling Tianfang to read it personally, and to submit it to Li Wufeng, the first person in Xijiang who was still staying in the imperial capital. It is said that Ling Tianfang spent a night reading the letter and spent another day having a long talk with Ha Xian, and finally decided to pass the letter to his superiors. At the same time, Ling Tianfang also ordered the troops to stop the pursuit of the retreating Luobei army. The fourth Luobei battle was declared over.
