Chapter five hundred and forty-one see timid Xue again(1/2)
A war eagle swept down and used its sharp eagle beak to clean its wings. And its owner took off the note between the eagle's claws.
"The number one fierce general in Liangzhou, Wang Tieqin, is approaching."
"Kill him."
On the hot Gobi Desert, Wang Yanzhang became more and more brave as he fought, killing hundreds of Mongolian cavalry, and killing one Mongolian commander and two centurion commander.
The commander of the Mongolian Empire could not even support Wang Yanzhang for three rounds.
Wang Yanzhang fought bloody battles, sweating profusely, and blood stained his armor with red.
"Quickly notify General Wang to retreat!"
Cheng Yi followed Wang Yanzhang to attack. Seeing that Wang Yanzhang was a enemy of thousands of people, he was shocked. He was worried that Wang Yanzhang would suffer losses in pursuit of the Mongolian cavalry, so he ordered a cavalry to whip the horse and ask Wang Yanzhang to retreat.
Wang Yanzhang is very fierce in person, but ordinary Western Liang cavalry may not be able to keep up with Wang Yanzhang's speed.
Once the remaining more than 2,000 Mongolian cavalry were angry and all turned around to surround Wang Yanzhang and then fought, then Wang Yanzhang could be killed.
"General Cheng asks General Wang to rest for a while!"
After Wang Yanzhang killed hundreds of Mongolian cavalry, his physical strength decreased and he was informed by Cheng Yi. So he stopped fighting with the Mongolian cavalry, but slowed down, distanced himself from the Mongolian cavalry, and returned to Cheng Yi's cavalry.
"Switch to another war horse!"
Cheng Yi asked someone to lead a war horse to Wang Yanzhang.
Xiliang is not short of war horses. A cavalry may have two to four war horses, and generals are no exception.
Wang Yanzhang's war horse was already tired, so Wang Yanzhang changed to another war horse to give his mount time to rest.
Everything flows smoothly, the Xiliang cavalry continues to pursue the Mongolian cavalry!
Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, and the three northern frontier states of the Han Empire produced very high cavalry quality.
Xiliang's big horse can dominate the world.
Under the pursuit of the ferocious Wang Yanzhang and Cheng Yi, this Mongolian cavalry did not dare to stop and fight.
"How many miles have we chased?"
“It’s about one hundred and seventy miles.”
"The reinforcements from Ma'er and Han Sui are getting farther and farther away... Could it be that the Mongol Empire sent only three thousand cavalrymen to attack Dunhuang County?"
Wang Yanzhang chased and killed three thousand Mongolian cavalry for 170 miles, took the lead with one horse and stepped forward to kill the enemy, but he never saw the imagined main force of the Mongolian Empire.
If Temujin only sent three thousand Mongolian cavalry to capture the Hexi Corridor and cut off the connection between the Western Regions, Guanlong and Central Plains, then it would be a big mistake.
He, Wang Tieqin, is not a particularly powerful commander. He can drive away three thousand Mongolian cavalry with the strength of ten thousand cavalry.
"Two generals, look at it..."
While Wang Yanzhang was in short thoughts, a Western Liang cavalry suddenly pointed ahead and shouted.
Wang Yanzhang and Cheng Yi looked forward almost at the same time, and their eyes burst into a sharp blade.
At the end of the Gobi Desert, a thin line appeared, sand and dust were flying, and flags were waving!
The thin line gradually becomes thicker, and it is made from lines, black and round, iron hooves rolling, and golden swords and iron horses!
The cavalry, all over the mountains, were like marching ants, and appeared with the entire Gobi cavalry legion!
"No……"
Cheng Yi's scalp was numb, as if he fell into an ice cellar.
There were at least tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry in front of me, and there were endless cavalry in the rear!
If it weren't for sure that this was Dunhuang County in the Hexi Corridor, Cheng Yi would have thought he had entered the Mobei occupied by the Mongolian Empire.
"The main force of the Mongolian Empire..."
Wang Yanzhang tightened the 100-pound iron spear in his hand, sweat flowed down the gun rod.
Wang Yanzhang rarely feels fear, this time is an exception.
Chasing three thousand Mongolian cavalry, tens of thousands of enemy cavalry suddenly appeared. This horror was suffocating.
There may be more cavalry behind tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry, but the battlefield will not be able to spread for a while.
Perhaps, the number of Mongolian cavalry attacking Dunhuang County exceeded 100,000...
Thinking of this terrible possibility, Wang Yanzhang felt nervous.
Xu Fengnian's Xiliang Legion was crippled by the old Qin Dynasty, and he had less than half of his strength. If he wanted to defend the Hexi Corridor, he could only guard Yumen Pass or Jiuquan.
"There are Mongolian cavalry appearing on the left wing, with at least tens of thousands of troops!"
"The Mongolian cavalry appeared on the right wing, with at least tens of thousands of troops!"
The scouts sent by Wang Yanzhang successively rewarded them.
"Only those who attack from three sides can retreat and fight to the death can escape from the heavens!"
Although Wang Yanzhang was facing the dilemma of attack on three sides, he felt a little afraid, but after the fear, he became more and more courageous. He led 10,000 Xiliang cavalry to replace the war horses and retreat with all his might!
Even if Wang Yanzhang is not inferior to the Five Tiger Generals, he dare not use 10,000 Xiliang cavalry to deal with more than 100,000 Mongolian cavalry!
This group of Mongolian cavalry is not a new recruit, but an elite cavalry who has been trained for more than a year by Temujin. The level is at least level 40 and above level 50, and is a veteran!
If these cavalry were baptized by war, then they would become the army of war, which would be even more terrifying.
Wang Yanzhang made a quick decision and preserved it as a few main cavalrymen. He met with Xu Fengnian and retreated to Yumen Pass.
As long as Yumen Pass is in hand, the princes of the Han Empire can use the teleportation array to arrive at Yumen Pass through Jiuquan, then recover Dunhuang County, and reopen the passage to the Western Regions.
"Wang Tieqin cannot be used by me, kill him."
The Mongolian commander drew out the golden sword and gave the order. Several generals and commanders of ten thousand men immediately led the cavalry to attack Wang Yanzhang and Cheng Yi's Xiliang cavalry.
They knew that Wang Tieqin would not defect to the Mongol Empire, so they planned to wipe out Wang Yanzhang and Cheng Yi, the Western Liang cavalry!
Wang Yanzhang stabbed the hornet's nest and encountered the main force of Mongolian cavalry that raided the Hexi Corridor, and was in an unprecedented crisis.
Except for the rear, there are Mongolian cavalry attacking from all sides, and their troops may exceed 100,000!
Mongolian generals, commanders of thousands, commanders of thousands, and commanders of centuries, holding various weapons, led all the troops to roar! The vast cavalry like a vast ocean covered the desolate Gobi Desert!
Ten thousand arrows were fired at once, and the Mongolian bow broke through the air, covering the Western Liang cavalry!
"ah!!"
A Xiliang cavalry was shot through his arm and screamed with his arms in his arms.
A few more arrows shot to kill the Xiliang cavalry who had only half-armored armor!
Mongolian cavalry not only shot light cavalry on horseback, but also specialized in shooting war horses of Xiliang cavalry.
The ordinary Xiliang light cavalry is different from the Xiliang Iron Cavalry equipped with Liangzhou horses. Their war horses were not equipped with horse armor, and under the dense arrow rain of Mongolian cavalry, all were killed and injured.
One hundred thousand Mongolian cavalry formed an encirclement of the Western Liang cavalry and narrowed the range of attack!
The Mongolian 100-strong commander on the left and right wings led their respective cavalry to keep parallel to Wang Yanzhang's Western Liang cavalry, shooting towards the Western Liang cavalry, and the Western Liang cavalry kept falling horses.
"Boat back with a bow and arrow!"
Cheng Yi commanded the Western Liang cavalry and also used cavalry and shooting against the Mongolian cavalry who tried to approach from left and right.
Once completely surrounded, no one may escape, even Wang Yanzhang is no exception.
"I will cut off the back. You can quickly retreat and meet Han Sui!"
Wang Yanzhang shouted loudly and took on the task of cutting off the rear with extraordinary force.
"I and the general, cut off the rear together!"
Cheng Yi asked the deputy general to lead the Xiliang cavalry to retreat, personally hold a knife, and intercept and kill the Mongolian cavalry who tried to keep them.
Among the Mongolian cavalry, there were Mongolian military generals who had extremely fast march speed commanding the cavalry in their headquarters and conducting roundabout detours.
Some cavalry heroes have the ability to increase the marching speed of the legion, such as Xiahou Yuan, Cao Xiu, Mulan, Zhang He, and the Mongolian Empire are no exception.
The Mongolian Empire also had cavalry generals who were specially used for roundabout encirclement. They participated in the attack on Dunhuang County, intending to keep Wang Yanzhang's army, kill Wang Yanzhang, and completely solve the threat Wang Yanzhang brought to the Mongolian cavalry.
If Wang Yanzhang is kept, it will be a future problem sooner or later!
A fast Mongolian cavalry cut 10,000 Xiliang cavalry into two pieces after traveling dozens of miles, including Wang Yanzhang and Chengyi, as well as about 3,000 Xiliang cavalry.
Cheng Yi's face was pale. They could be surrounded by a large army of 100,000 Mongolians at any time!
These 100,000 Mongolian troops were legions at the peak of the Mongolian Empire!
"All the soldiers obey orders, and those who are in the former will die, and those who are timid will die!"
Wang Yanzhang knew that there could not be a moment of delay. Once he was surrounded by a large army of 100,000 Mongolians, the emperor-level generals would also be killed. So he immediately led 3,000 Xiliang cavalry to attack the Mongolian cavalry that broke out from behind!
As Wang Yanzhang said, at this time, only those who fight to the death can survive!
The hundred-pound iron spear was in Wang Yanzhang's hands, killing dozens of Mongolian cavalry!
One of the Mongolian generals attacked Wang Yanzhang, and Guduo was shaken away by Wang Yanzhang's iron spear and his wrists were numb.
Wang Yanzhang was like a powerful general. Even though he was surrounded, he still burst out with powerful force.
