The Western Turkic cavalry was attacked continuously; the Sui army cavalry was waiting for work. As a result, the two sides fought in a melee, and soon the Western Turkic cavalry was defeated and began to collapse.
Ashina's eyes were filled with tears and he tried his best to restrain his subordinates, but it was in vain.
The Western Turkic Formation.
"Great Khan, the Sui army's military formation is too strong. If we continue to attack, it will only increase casualties. It is better to order the forwards to retreat, reorganize and fight again."
Everyone tried to persuade Shekui to retreat, but Shekui Khan remained unmoved.
"Can we break the formation after we withdraw and reorganize?"
Shekui Khan had gone through many battles. Although the power of the Sui army exceeded his expectations, the result was not unacceptable. The Western Turks had many soldiers, and the worst they could do was to trade casualties for casualties, and the Sui people would not be able to hold on.
At this time, Shekui Khan couldn't help but think about how powerful Goguryeo in the east was. The Sui army could defeat a terrifying army of one million.
Shekui Khan ordered that both wings be pressed forward, and the Chinese army also moved forward to support them. They must tear through the Sui army's defense line through continuous attacks.
The main force of the Western Turks joined the battlefield one after another. The Sui army, whose strength was half that of the Western Turks, naturally increased the pressure. The Sui army's central army, with its advanced equipment and tactical system, was still as solid as a rock. However, the coalition forces on both wings had a difficult time facing the Turks' attack.
The left wing of the coalition forces is from Qibi.
In this battle, the Qibi people and the Sui army will have even higher fighting spirit. In the past two years, under the attack of the Western Turks, the Qibi tribe, which was originally the leader of Tiele in the Western Region, has greatly declined in power and has continued to move eastward. As of now, they have no retreat. If they lose this battle again, they will only be destroyed.
So facing the Western Turks, the Qibi cavalry exerted 120% of their fighting spirit and fought to the death.
The cavalry on both sides fought back and forth on horseback. The Western Turkic cavalry slashed the Qibi cavalry, but even if the other party was about to fall off their horses, they would have to fight to the death and retaliate. Therefore, although the Western Turks had more troops, the Qibi cavalry did not retreat at all and did not allow the other party to take advantage.
Qibi Ge also shouted loudly: "People of the Qibi tribe, the Turks are going to destroy us. We have no way out. We will fight them today!"
"Death!"
"Death!"
The shouts of the Qibi tribe were deafening, and the entire battlefield was shocked by them.
Huang Mingyuan of the Chinese Army looked at the Qibi tribe fighting in the distance and said softly: "How can such a tribe not be strong? If they cannot be tamed as hunting dogs, they must be eliminated early."
But now, the Qibi tribe is still a good partner of the Sui army. It fights desperately to help the Sui army stabilize the situation on the left wing, so there is no need to be distracted by this.
The right wing of the coalition forces was having a difficult time fighting.
Although it is called a coalition army, the central army and the left wing are fought by the Sui army and the Qibi tribe. The right wing of the coalition is the real coalition, with the Sui Army, Wuxi, and Zhiyi each accounting for about one-third. Except for the Sui army, Wuxi and Zhiyi people did not have much fighting spirit.
Bulin, also known as Wuhu, Bulin, and Bone Bone, belongs to one of Tiele. When the Turks were strong, the subjects belonged to the Turks. After the Turks split, they again belonged to the Western Turks.
Zhiyi, a tribe with a long history in the Western Regions.
For the second part, there is actually no essential difference whether they surrendered to the Sui Dynasty or to the Western Turks. That is, which one of the two sides looks better when exploiting. For this reason, the Second Division was not willing to fight to the death with the Western Turks. If the Second Division had not been held hostage by the Sui army, they would not have participated in this battle at all.
Gao Zhen was on the right wing. In addition to fending off the enemy, he also had to watch over the second unit to prevent it from escaping.
As soon as the battle started, the second team was a little negative. Faced with repeated attacks by the Turks, the Second Division retreated step by step. At the end, Gao Zhen no longer had the energy to watch the second part, so he had to resist reluctantly.
But Gao Zhen only had 5,000 troops. Facing Turkic soldiers several times larger than his own, he soon fell into a bitter battle and suffered heavy losses.
Huang Mingliao saw the Wuxi and Zhiyi troops retreating in the Chinese army, so he sent people to the two troops to supervise them.
The Wuji people have always been in Gaochang, while the Zhiyi Department was actually in the area of ??Khan Futu City, and later rushed to Gaochang for the Sui army.
Therefore, compared to the Western Turks, the Sui Army is not a good thing here in the second department.
At this time, facing the orders of the Sui army, the two units rebounded somewhat.
The Wuhu tribe did not dare to make any move, but the leader of the Zhiyi tribe, Zhiyi Sheng, was very dissatisfied. The Sui army asked them to work hard, but they got nothing. Seeing that the Western Turks were so powerful, the Zhiyi tribe would die if they continued to fight. So in the face of the Sui army's urging, Zhi Yisheng actually ordered the entire army to retreat and withdraw from the battlefield.
Zhiyi Sheng is still young, and he is so tough when facing the Sui army.
Although the second team couldn¡¯t perform well in battle,What a great effect, but the four thousand cavalry accounted for one-third of the troops on the right wing, which in itself was a deterrent and containment to the Turks.
??And escaping from battle can easily cause a chain reaction on the battlefield. Beside the Second Department, there is also the Wuhu Department.
As soon as the Second Division retreated, the right wing immediately opened up. The Turkic commander Ashinado ordered the army to follow closely, follow the direction of the withdrawal of the Second Division, go deep into the right wing of the coalition forces, and tear open the coalition defense line.
The troops who were in front to defend themselves against the enemy were in danger of being surrounded by the Turks from the side.
Huang Mingliao stood on a high place and looked at the situation on the right wing with a heavy expression. He immediately ordered Gao Zhen to retreat and move closer to the Chinese army to avoid being surrounded by the Turkic army.
The Sui army gave up its right wing.
Gao Zhen led his troops to slowly retreat southward, while Wuhu Yichi, the leader of the Wuhu tribe on one side, thought about it for a long time and finally decided to follow Gao Zhen's troops southward and move closer to the Sui army.
It¡¯s not that Wuyiyichi never thought of rebelling, but the relationship between the Wuyi tribe and the Turks is not good. Even if he turns to the Turks, he may not be recognized by the other party. Moreover, Wuhu Yichi also has ambitions. If the Sui army wins this battle, it will be the day when the Wuhu tribe will rise.
It has to be said that Wu Yichi has not lost confidence in this battle.
Huang Mingliao gave up his right wing, and the Turkic cavalry was able to outflank him from the right. The right wing is close to the Lesuo Mountain and the terrain is higher. If the Turks are allowed to fully occupy the high ground on the right side of the coalition, and the cavalry detours here and attacks from top to bottom, the Sui army will be defeated.
Huang Mingliao ordered Fuyan Wangrong to attack from the Chinese army and go to the middle of the right wing to set up defenses to block the attack.
Huang Mingliao was worried about the right wing from the beginning. In such a large-scale war, if one link is missing, the entire army may be annihilated. But he had no choice but to make do with the cards he had.
The Turkic cavalry continued to surge inward and had penetrated deep into the middle of the right side of the Sui army.
Ashinaduo saw that there were not many Sui troops blocking them, and most of them were spear formations composed of spearmen, so he ordered his troops to speed up and break through the Sui troops' obstruction.
As long as you cross this Sui army and detour back to the Sui army from the right side of the Sui army, you can completely encircle this Sui army.
With victory in sight, Ashinado couldn't help but show a ferocious face.
At this time, the Sui army on the front changed its formation and divided into two sides. Ashina looked at the countless reflective steel on the front, a little stunned.
"What is that?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
