open sea

Chapter 1331
What rained down was not the rain of arrows, but the blood dripping from the heart of Tubo Ma Heima.

If Dayun led his troops to leave half an hour ago, leaving him full of uselessness, then half an hour later, the uselessness was replaced by regret.

As soon as Qijiaojing counted the casualties, the Liangzhou cavalry rushed into the camp, killing 28 of his elite heavy cavalry on the spot, losing more than 160 combat effectiveness, 77 six horses, 62 vests, and [-] armors.

This number is the result after culling minions.

Tubo Ma Heima’s psychological dynamics were extremely complicated during this half-hour. First, he was shocked by the shock, angry at witnessing casualties, angry at losing his armor, and fearful of light casualties. superior.

It chilled the whole person.

The chasing cavalry came back in three batches. At the beginning, it was reported that the enemy army had set up an ambush by the roadside, but the black lights and blind fire cavalry didn't find it.

The second batch of returning cavalry said that they bravely met the arrows and exchanged shots with the enemy, and charged in groups to fight the enemy in close combat.

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

Terrified, Tubo Ma Heima ordered to fortify the place, demolished the house, piled up soil and built a base, lit a bonfire in the distance of the house for lighting, and sent people to meet the returning cavalry.

But gone.

The troops he sent out consisted of three teams of more than 200 riders. One team has not returned yet; the other two teams have returned one after another with more than [-] troops.

No matter how much, there is no news.

They don't know how many Ming troops are there, let alone whether the Ming troops will attack immediately.

More than 400 cavalrymen in the camp put their horses at the foot of the mountain and defended on foot at the key points of Qijiaojing all night. The two horses sprained their hooves and limped on the road, and 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 was going on. The captain wanted to lead his troops around in a circle, but the circle was a bit big. When a gust of wind and sand blew over, they didn't know where they were. Find your way back.

It was dawn and their vision improved, so they finally dared to go out and take a good look at the battlefield from last night.

The battle locations were spread across a wide area, covering three miles vertically and horizontally. The long yellow sand was stained with coagulated blood and settled on the ground, covering the corpses that had lost their heads.

The Ming army didn't even leave him a knife, and took away all the heads, horses, weapons and corpses of the Ming army.

Tubo Ma Heima believed that someone from the Ming army must have died in battle, because the horses of the two sides were different. He saw horse corpses on the ground that the Ming army could not take away, and only 27 horses were found and could be distinguished.

And the traces of the Ming army had long since disappeared, and even the hoof prints were covered by the wind and sand, but there was no need to track them at this moment, they must have run towards Hami, but Tubo Ma Heima dared not pursue them.

Even if his men and horses were all wearing heavy armor this time, they didn't dare to pursue them.

What if the pursuit falls into the enemy's ambush circle?
Now the march is obviously impossible, the elite troops have been beaten to half, but there are more than half of the [-] servants, and the remaining [-] soldiers are neither advancing nor retreating, just waiting in Qijiaojing.

It is not impossible to march again, but they still have only 300 heavy cavalry troops left to fight, and there are more than [-] sets of vests and heavy armors. It is too heavy to carry, and it is impossible for servants to wear them without training.

If you can't fight in heavy armor for 1 minute, you will be tired first.

Now there is no other way, and there is not much food and grass left, so they can only withdraw their troops and rush to Tubo.

The gloomy clouds on their side were gloomy, and Dayun had already slept soundly forty miles away. He ordered the riders to hurry back and send the news to Hami in just two days, so that the commander-in-chief sent someone to escort the carriage to help They pack.

The battle at night was not easy for them, the enemy was much tougher than they imagined, and Dayun really underestimated the enemy.

Compared with the results of the battle, they won 330 heads, only [-] were killed, [-] were seriously injured, and more than [-] were slightly injured.

They have all-round superiority except in military strength.

Night battles, ambushes, using darkness against light, wearing armor versus no armor, the enemy should have turned around and fled after talking about shooting arrows, but these Tubo troops not only did not, they also shot at each other with casualties, and some even rode horses and raised swords nearby Charge at them.

If they hadn't been able to shoot at the enemy, but the enemy couldn't shoot at them, I'm afraid he would have been defeated.

Changing places, his cavalry did not have such a high morale. In the end, more than a dozen cavalry under his command were killed and scattered, fleeing into the desert, and did not return until the enemy was defeated and cut off their heads.

As a general, who doesn't want to directly defeat the enemy, and the troops will cover up and kill in the back to win a big victory. Who would like to meet a determined enemy?

This is also the reason why Dayun didn't dare to fight one after another. He cut off his head and immediately let the troops run back with the horses. He also turned back while running. After running forty miles, he didn't see the pursuers, so he finally dared to let the soldiers get off their horses and rest. .

Just like this, the subordinates put on their armor and slept for two hours, then woke up and ran east again.

Don't dare to stop, for fear that once the enemy army catches up, they will be the ones who will lose their heads.

The enemy dared to confront them head-on without wearing heavy armor, so if they put on heavy armor, would they still be able to wipe him out?

How beautiful I feel when I take advantage of it, and how panic I feel when I take advantage of it.

Tong Deng was even more surprised when he received the news. When Zhang Lue, who was sent to drive the carriage to meet Dayun's troops, saw him, the first sentence he said was: "General Tong asked you, didn't you come out to investigate the enemy's situation? How did you kill the enemy?" Army heavy cavalry defeated."

No one can figure out how Dayun won with his head. The enemy is undoubtedly a heavy cavalry force. Apart from long weapons such as swords and hammers, the only loot he captured is armor. It's heavy cavalry.

Dayun's group, from head to toe, don't look like a troop that can defeat the heavy cavalry. If more than 60 heavy cavalry defeated their two hundred cavalry... the credibility depends on more be taller.

Hundreds of heavy cavalry, let alone the Western Regions, even if it was in the Central Plains Dynasty, it is not too big or small for the main force. Coupled with infantry and light cavalry, it can pull up [-] soldiers and horses.

In the end, Dayun was defeated in this way, and when he told Chang Lue who came to meet him, Chang Lue was so envious.

I only regret that I came to Hami late.

They are naturally full of joy, while Tubo Ma Heima has been tossed and collapsed.

Going out for a walk of [-] miles back and forth, it is not enough to walk the most elite heavy cavalry unit under his command.

When he returned to Tibet, the troops were exhausted and exhausted. Seeing the smoke rising from the village in the distance was as friendly as seeing his parents, and then he found out why the village had set up a rejection horse.

Hey, this Hu Chi'er is quite capable.

But why is there a chariot behind the horse?
Why is there still a musketeer standing on top of the chariot?

How did they shoot?
Why is the long live flag planted on the Tubo city?

His home is gone.
