In usual field battles between the Hu people and the Central Plains Dynasty, the cavalry would attack first, using the cavalry's surprise to break through the Central Plains Dynasty's infantry formation, and then the rest of the troops would follow.
This attack speed is faster and the impact is stronger. If arranged properly, the formation of the Central Plains Dynasty army can be broken through in the shortest time, and then a breakthrough battle can be launched. Of course, the side effects are also great. Once the attack is blocked, it is very likely to fall into a stalemate. Especially in the face of the Sui army's large-scale long-range weapons, casualties were huge.
The Turks suffered too many losses from the Sui army, so they became smarter. Use infantry to defend against crossbowmen, and when the battle gets intense, suddenly order cavalry to attack to determine victory.
Therefore, the Turkic cavalry rushed over without any resistance. With a distance of two hundred steps, they rushed to the front of the cart almost instantly.
The shields previously erected by the Turks now became the passage for the cavalry. The Turkic cavalry jumped into the formation along the slope and began to charge.
The entire center of gravity of the Sui army's vehicle array could no longer function at all.
The Sui army has completely fallen into hand-to-hand combat with the Turks.
What Dugu Lan saw was a struggle. The defenses everywhere were smashed to pieces by the Turks. Countless soldiers died tragically under the swords of the Turks.
This is not how wars should be fought.
The two sides fought from morning to afternoon, struggling for more than four hours.
The whole battlefield was in a state of complete darkness. Although the Sui army was weak, it refused to retreat in the face of heavy siege by the Turks. Although the Turks were powerful, they had to pay huge casualties every time they took a step forward.
The two sides fought until evening, and the Sui army was in disarray, but the main position was still intact.
In the end, Colon couldn't bear the heavy casualties, so he ordered his troops to retreat.
After the war, Dugu Lan organized his troops and horses. More than half of the entire army suffered casualties, almost everyone was injured, and the entire camp was in a state of misery. Because the main battlefield was in the Sui camp among the car formations, corpses lay everywhere in the camp, blood flowed like rivers, and there was no place to step down.
The exhausted Sui army almost lay on the pile of dead people and fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Colon ordered his troops to attack the Sui army again. He had many soldiers, so he divided his army into four groups and constantly harassed the Sui army.
The Sui army had few soldiers, and they were worried that the Turks would attack at any time. Under the disturbance of the opponent, they hardly got any rest. By the end of the battle, they were exhausted physically and mentally.
On the morning of the second day, at dawn, the Turks stopped attacking, broke camp and headed south.
When Dugu Lan heard the news, he was shocked and hurried to the watchtower. Dugu Pan looked far into the distance. To the south, smoke and dust were billowing. Through the dust, he could see the Turkic cavalry heading south.
Dugu Lan was shocked. The Turks had bypassed their own defenses and headed south, clearly intending to pursue the Emperor's chariot going south.
They had only been guarding for a day, so the Emperor¡¯s chariot must not have entered the Great Wall. Once the Turks catch up, the consequences will be disastrous.
The only way in front of Dugu Lan is to pursue.
"Chase, we must catch up with them." Now it is not the Turks who are chasing them and fighting them, but they are chasing and fighting the Turks.
When Dugu Lan opened his mouth, everyone was a little surprised.
Now, even if they are holding the position, they are no match for the Turks. Once they attack, they are almost certain to lose.
Everyone looked at each other and said nothing.
Dugu Lan slammed the table angrily and said loudly: "We are all Sui soldiers. We have been favored by our country in this life. Today we are in trouble. We dare not die to repay our country. If you are willing to go with me, you will go. If so, I don¡¯t want to, and I, Dugu Lan, won¡¯t force it. Today, I am alone, Dugu Lan, and I will die on the way south.¡±
At this time, Liu Jianwu also said loudly: "Since we have chosen to end the war, we know that there is no possibility of survival today. Going forward now is death, staying is also death, so why should we be afraid of dying on the way forward."
So everyone was impassioned.
Dugu Lan mobilized only more than 2,000 cavalry left in the army, and he and Li Qiong attacked south. Liu Jianwu led the infantry and then advanced.
Dugu Lan led more than 2,000 cavalrymen and drove southward non-stop. Unexpectedly, after marching only more than ten miles, they ran into the Turkic cavalry.
The main Turkic force is waiting for him here.
It turned out that Colon saw that the losses in the attack were too great, so he decided to pursue Yang Guang's troops southward to lure the Sui army to attack. When the Sui army's infantry and cavalry are separated, they will be the prey of the Turks on the vast prairie.
Of course, the Sui army can hold on, and then Colon will make the lie come true and really pursue it all the way south.?Yang Guang drove the car.
However, in Colon's view, Yang Guang could not escape. The people responsible for chasing Yang Guang were the Shibi Khan and Ashina Qilifu tribes on both wings.
The Turks were waiting for the Sui army about twenty miles south of the Sui army. The Sui army plunged into the Turks' prepared pockets.
When Dugu Lan met the Turkic cavalry and the Turks from all sides surrounded him, Dugu Lan immediately knew that he had been tricked. But by this time it was too late, they had completely fallen into the siege of the Turks. Dugu Lan ordered an immediate retreat and joined Liu Jianwu's troops.
But tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry came almost like a tsunami, causing mountains to collapse and the ground to crack.
Li Qiong looked at these Turks and then at Dugu Lan beside him, his throat felt a little dry.
At this time, Dugu Lan looked at Li Qiong's tense face and said loudly: "In my life, I have fought dozens of battles. I have been in danger twice before, but in the end reinforcements arrived and saved my life. Nothing happened. Third, there will be no reinforcements this time. In this case, we will simply kill him and wrap his body in horse leather, and die fighting for the country. Isn¡¯t that what we want?"
Li Qiong was also inspired by Dugu Lan and said loudly: "Li Qiong deserves it if he can die with the general today."
So the two men each held a sword and rushed south towards the Turkic team.
"My sons, follow me to attack!"
Two thousand cavalry rushed into the sea like a burst of flames. There was sea water in all directions, as if it could submerge them at any moment.
Everyone moved forward desperately and fought to the death.
There were sounds of falling horses everywhere, and the Sui army could only shake their teeth and fight hard.
At the end of the fight, Dugu Lan's horse was killed by three arrows, and Dugu Lan started fighting with a horizontal sword.
It was tightly surrounded from all sides, and the Sui army could not break out.
When Dugu Lan fought to the end, there were not many people around him who could fight. Lieutenant General Li Qiong had already died in the battle before him.
Dugu Lan was stabbed in the leg by a spear, and blood flowed freely. He still stood tall, leaning on his spear.
Colon came to Dugu Lan on horseback and said loudly: "Sui people, you are a hero. We, the great Turks, respect heroes. Surrender!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Dugu Lan spat out a mouthful of blood.
"When I followed Duke Wei in the Northern Expedition to the grasslands, you were just a bunch of pigs and dogs. Can I, a great general of the Sui Dynasty, surrender to pigs and dogs?"
So Dugu Lan committed suicide in front of everyone. He was forty-four years old.
At the last moment, Dugu Lan still remembered the grace of following Huang Mingyuan in the Northern Expedition against the Turks. It would be great if nothing had changed.
