Chapter 148: Sad reminder

What fell like rain was not the rain of arrows, but the blood dripping from the heart of the Tubo horse's black trunk.

If Dayun led his troops to leave half an hour ago and left him with a cowardly heart, then half an hour later, cowardly will be replaced by regret.

Qijiaojing just counted the casualties and losses. Liangzhou cavalry rushed into the camp and let his elite heavy cavalry die on the spot, lost more than 80 combat power, lost 166 horses, 77 pairs of vests, and 62 leaders of armor.

This number is the result of culling the minion.

The psychological dynamics of Tubo Horse Heima were extremely complicated in this half hour. First, he was shocked by the shock, the anger of witnessing the casualties, the anger of losing his armor, the fear of the casualties, the anger of reorganization, and the anger of reorganization was not over yet, and a basin of cold water poured on his head.

It made my whole body feel cool.

The cavalry chased out returned in three groups. At first, they reported that the enemy set up an ambush beside the road. The cavalry did not find it. They entered the encirclement and were shot over the vanguard with arrows, and their morale was blocked.

The second group of cavalry returned said that they bravely fired arrows with the enemy and attacked in close combat with the enemy.

Then the people who came back were not sent back to report the news, but the small groups of cavalry who participated in the battle ran back with injuries, saying that they were disbanded in the melee, and then they came back from one group of three or five cavalry and another group of three or five cavalry.

The Tubo Ma Heima was so scared that he ordered the defense on the spot, demolished the house, piled up soil, lit a bonfire in the distance of the house, and sent people to pick up the cavalry back.

But it's gone.

The troops he sent were three teams of more than 800 cavalry, and one team has not returned yet; the other two teams have returned one after another for more than 200.

No matter how many there are, there is no news.

They don’t know how many Ming troops are, and they don’t know if the Ming troops will attack immediately.

More than 400 cavalrymen in the camp placed their horses at the foot of the mountain, and guarded them all through infantry battles at all places in Qijiaojing. Until the next morning, another team of cavalry returned with dark circles and all their tails. Except for two horses, they sprained their hooves and lame feet on the road, only one person was killed.

When they were ambushed by the enemy at the beginning, they were behind the team and didn't know what happened. The captain wanted to lead his troops to circle, but the circle was a bit big. A gust of wind and sand came over and I didn't know where he was. I searched for a night before I found the way back.

It was dawn and the vision was better. They finally dared to go out and take a good look at the battlefield last night.

The battle sites were scattered very widely, covering three miles across the country. The vast yellow sand was sedimented with solidified blood and was fixed on the ground, covering the body that had lost its head.

The Ming army did not even leave a knife for him, and took away all the heads, horses, weapons and the corpses of the Ming army.

The Tubo horse Heima believed that some people in the Ming army would have been killed, because the war horses on both sides were different. He saw the horses that the Ming army could not take away on the ground. The only ones found were twenty-seven of them that could be distinguished.

The traces of the Ming army had long disappeared, and even the hoof marks were covered by wind and sand, but there was no need to track them at this moment. They must have run to Hami, and even the Tubo horse Heima dared not pursue them.

Even if his men and horses were wearing heavy armor this time, they would not dare to chase them.

What if the pursuit falls into the enemy ambush circle again?

The march is obviously no longer possible now. The elite troops were half destroyed, but most of the eight hundred servants were left, and the remaining thousand soldiers were not as good as retreating. They waited in Qijiaojing and stared at them.

It is not impossible to advance again, but they have only 400 heavy cavalry troops, and there are more than 300 sets of vests and heavy armor. It is too heavy to let the servants wear them without training and they don't have the ability.

I couldn't wear heavy armor for a minute and I was exhausted.

There is no other way now, and there is not much food left, so I can only withdraw my troops and rush to Tubo.

They were so sad that Dayun had already slept forty miles away. He ordered the rider to rush back quickly. He sent the news to Hami in just two days and asked the general to send someone to escort the carriage to help them carry the goods.

The night battle was not easy for them. The enemy was much more tenacious than they imagined. Dayun really underestimated the enemy.

Compared with the results of the battle, they won 330 heads, only 17 were killed in battle, seven seriously injured, and more than twenty minor injuries, which was a rare victory, but in Dayun's imagination, less than ten people should have suffered casualties.

They have a comprehensive advantage besides military strength.

In the night battle, ambush, dark against light, armor against no armor, enemy troops should be talking about shooting arrows and turning around and running away. However, not only did these Tubo troops not, they also shot at them with casualties, and some even rode their horses and raised their swords to charge towards them.

If they hadn't been able to shoot the enemy right away, but the enemy could not shoot them right away, he would probably be the one who was defeated.

When he was in a place, his cavalry did not have such high morale. In the end, more than ten cavalry under his command were killed and rushed into the desert. He did not return until the enemy was defeated and seized his head.

Who would not want to defeat the enemy directly? The troops were behind the scenes and won a great victory? Who would like to encounter a strong enemy?

This is also the reason why Dayun dared not fight one after another, and immediately let the troops run back with the horses after cutting off his head. He also turned around while running, ran forty miles without seeing the pursuers. Only then did he dare to let the soldiers dismount and rest.

Then he let his subordinates sleep for two hours, woke up and ran eastward.

I dare not stop, for fear that the enemy will catch up with me once I stop, and then they will be the ones I have lost in my head.

If the enemy is not wearing heavy armor, he dares to fight against them head-on. If he wears heavy armor, he will not be wiped out completely?

The more beautiful you feel when you take advantage, the more panic you feel after taking advantage.

Tong Deng was even more surprised when he received the news. When Chang Lue, who sent out a carriage to pick up Dayun's troops, saw him, the first sentence was: "General Tong asked you, didn't you come out to investigate the enemy situation? How did you defeat the enemy heavy cavalry unit?"

No one can think of how Dayun won with his head. The enemy is undoubtedly the heavy cavalry unit. Apart from swords, hammers, and sticks, his only spoil was his armor. The enemy must be heavy cavalry.

Dayun's group, seeing their feet from the beginning, didn't look like a force that could defeat heavy cavalry. If it were to say that more than 60 heavy cavalry defeated their 200 cavalry... the credibility was a little higher.

Hundreds of heavy cavalry, not to mention being placed in the Western Regions, even in the Central Plains dynasty, would be considered a big and small main force. With infantry and light cavalry, they could pull up five thousand soldiers and horses.

As a result, Dayun was defeated. When he explained the situation to Changlue, who came to pick him up, Changlue felt envious.

I only regretted the late arrival in Hami.

They were naturally full of joy, while the Tubo horse Heima had been torn and collapsed.

I went on a long journey and took a 800-mile turn, and it was not enough to make the most elite heavy cavalry troops under my command.

When he returned to Tubo, the troops were tired and exhausted. They saw the smoke rising from the village in the distance as friendly as seeing their parents. Then they discovered how the village set up a horse-rejecting horse.

Wow, this Hu Chier is quite capable.

But why are there chariots behind the horse?

Why are there musketeers standing on the chariot?

Why did they shoot?

Why are there a long live flag in Tubo City?
