Turbulent Times Chapter 1589: This speed is chilling

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, half an hour...an hour...

There is no hourglass for timing here, let alone a clock, time just passes silently.

Li Guangming and Du Youchao seemed to be addicted to the battle with the Far East Army, and they never retreated. This almost made Li Shimin and others wonder if they won the battle by accident!

It's just that ... reason tells Li Shimin that this possibility is so small that it can be ignored.

Li Shimin frowned tightly. He worried that Li Guangming and Du Youchao were trapped by the Far East Army, and they were completely trapped.

However, according to the strength displayed by the Far Eastern Army during the daytime battle between the two sides, it is comparable to them. Even with the advantage of equipment, they have thousands more troops, and Li Guangming and Du Youchao are not the kind of incompetent Seniors, so it should be impossible to be entangled and unable to escape.

Waiting until the sun rose high, guessing that it was already the right time, Li Shimin, who was getting more and more worried, finally saw a dusty gray dragon running towards the west.

It was the dust brought up by a large number of cavalry and infantry galloping fast.

"Here we come!" Li Shimin let go of most of his hanging heart, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, cheered in his heart, and straightened up.

50,000 soldiers of the Li family cheered up without warning. The impatient cavalrymen were already stroking the fur of their mounts, and they were about to jump on their horses as soon as they were given an order.

According to the plan, the cavalry of the Li family army will rush out first to stop and entangle the Far Eastern army, and then the infantry will set up an encirclement circle, and cooperate with the cavalry in a battle formation to encircle and kill all the pursuing Far Eastern army.

It took a long time to wait before, but once I saw the defeated soldiers, it was as if someone had made a big hole in the hourglass. Just now I saw the dust rolled up when the defeated soldiers retreated, and I felt like I just blinked my eyes , Immediately you can clearly see the defeated soldiers fleeing westward in a hurry.

About 10,000 cavalrymen and 4,000 to 5,000 infantrymen of the Li family army fled towards them in a panic, with their battle flags tilted to and fro.

Immediately afterwards, they saw closely behind them, more than 10,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 infantry kept roaring and shooting arrows.

It is the Far Eastern Army that is chasing after them.

"There are still about 20,000 people left, and more than 10,000 people died." Li Shimin's heart sank. Although Du Youchao and Li Guangming brought the Far East Army over, they had lost too much. There can be no more than 5,000 people in the plan.

However, in terms of acting, Du Youchao and Li Guangming's performances are really good.

The fleeing Li Jiajun deliberately failed to get too far away from the Far Eastern Army, and Du Youchao was also extremely ruthless in his actions, and even had the style of a general. They were shot and fell down, and then the cavalrymen of the Far Eastern Army who were chasing at the front stepped on them.

Seeing that Du Youchao seemed to be really defeated so embarrassingly, the soldiers at the back kept being shot down, and were trampled into flesh by the cavalry of the Far Eastern Army at the front, Li Shimin felt like a drum beating in his heart, but this At this moment, he didn't have the slightest bit of unbearable intentions in his heart, but he just hoped that Du Youchao would continue to perform this good show well and not ruin the big event.

Otherwise, the loss of more than 10,000 soldiers will be in vain. Today, only by destroying the more than 30,000 Far Eastern Army that chased after them, can it be considered that this matter has not lost money.

Currently

Looking at it, Du Youchao did not disappoint Li Shimin, let alone forget his mission.

Li Shimin saw that by Du Youchao's side, several Zhiqis were still carrying his big flag, rushing straight towards Huangyangpo, and behind him, more than 30,000 Far Eastern troops were chasing and killing him. Come.

The leader of this Far Eastern Army is Yuchi Jingde, the commander of the Tiger Camp. Perhaps he is also eager to make contributions. It seems that he is determined to wipe out the Li family army led by Du Youchao. Chasing behind, the other two galloped from both sides, trying to double-team the army led by Du Youchao who was "defeated".

This made Li Shimin and the others feel relieved. This kind of chasing battle is quite common in wars.

Once one party loses in a war, the victor will chase after him in order to maximize the results of the battle. Destroy all defeated enemies.

If it is a long-distance pursuit, most of the defeated will end up in annihilation, but at this moment, it is only a dozen miles away!

In a blink of an eye, Li Shimin felt that Du Youchao had almost rushed in front of him!

Then, as soon as he gave an order, he heard the horn resounding through the sky! Immediately afterwards, there was a deafening shout of killing! With a roar, he jumped on the horse first, shouted, and rushed out with 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry around him.

At the same time, 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry from the left and right flanks were also led by the general, and charged towards the more than 30,000 horsemen in the Tiger Camp led by Yuchi Jingde.

Then, from a distance, Li Shimin saw Du Youchao turning his horse's head abruptly, roaring something loudly, and leading the cavalry back into the formation of the Far East Army.

The infantry of the Li family army, who had originally fled for their lives, panted and turned around under the yelling of the officer, forming a formation, and together with the ambush soldiers, they wiped out the Far Eastern Army who came after them.

The more than 30,000 soldiers of the Far Eastern Army who had been chasing and killing Du Youchao's remnant soldiers seemed to be petrified by this sudden change. Killed with Li Jiajun.

But surrounded by at least 50,000 fresh troops from the other side, this seems to be a battle that has already been won or lost.

At present, the Far Eastern Army was blocked by Li Shimin and Du Youchao, and was about to be pierced by the cavalry of Li's army on the two wings, and then surrounded by Li's army's infantry, and finally killed.

This is what Li Shimin planned. At present, everything seems to be going well, except that the people Du Youchao took as bait died a little bit badly.

However, the more than 30,000 horsemen led by Yuchi Jingde reacted a bit quickly.

Without waiting for Yuchi Jingde's order, following the sound of the horn of the messenger around Yuchi Jingde, the cavalry of the Tiger Battalion suddenly divided into three parts, blocking the Li family army on the front and sides.

At the same time, Yuchi Jingde shouted loudly: "All the infantry set up spear formations, this formation sets up the moon formation, and the cavalry blocks the enemy to give the infantry time to set up the formation!"

Following Yuchi Jingde's order, the flags and drums were immediately passed down, and the three armies immediately took action. The Far East Army's advantages in orderly training in terms of formation and battle formation change were immediately manifested, and there was no grain truck The cumbersome baggage needs to be taken care of, and the formation speed is so fast that Li Shimin and other generals of the Li family army feel a chill in their eyes.

In fact, as soon as the cavalry of the Li family army fought with the cavalry of the Far East Army, the infantry of the Far East Army had already laid down several spear formations, and the crossbowmen behind them were already in place, with arrows pointing obliquely into the sky.

So, it seems that Li Shimin's cavalry just entangled the cavalry of the Far Eastern Army. The army's plan to fight on its own failed.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin's heart suddenly sank. The Far Eastern Army's response to the battlefield was so fast that Li Shimin felt incredible.

He even thought that even if the Far Eastern Army knew in advance that there was an ambush here, it would be difficult to reach this level quickly.

But he doesn't know that every soldier in the Far East Army has a training program—queue training. This kind of training can not only strengthen the soldiers' sense of obedience and order and prohibition, but also maximize the improvement The coordination and cooperation between soldiers, especially the speed of change of this battle formation and the rapid deployment on the battlefield.

In the original plan, Li Shimin's central army would take advantage of the situation and storm the middle of the Far Eastern Army. At that time, it was also difficult to resist the power of Li Jiajun's 50,000 new force and 20,000 Du with over 20,000 horses.

At that time, the Li family's army immediately fell into disarray and became panic-stricken all day long.

It's a pity that all of this was Li Shimin's expectation. Apart from being surrounded by them, the Far Eastern Army in front of him didn't panic at all. When some of them intercepted the Li family army on three sides, they didn't rush up in a mess, but formed a neat cavalry charge formation, and even threw a wave of grenades before rushing up.

Even if Li Shimin had taken precautions in advance and stuffed things in the ears of the war horses, after a series of explosions, he lost one or two thousand people at once, not to mention their attack and charge was immediately greatly affected. As for when the cavalry of the two sides rushed together, the Li family army did not have much advantage.

"Fortunately, there is also Li Guangming's team." Li Shimin muttered to himself with a solemn face while killing the enemy.

At this moment, the horn sounded from the east. Like a magic trick, Li Guangming led 10,000 soldiers and horses out of the woods, blocking the way of the Far East Army's escape.

It's a pity that no one in the Far Eastern Army ran for their lives at all. Even the infantry formation they set up did not face their backs, but set up a hedgehog battle formation. When it came up, it was not as devastating as imagined, but it was like a flood meeting a hard dam, not to mention it was firmly blocked, and hundreds of cavalrymen in the front were killed in an instant. Let the Far East Army die more than a hundred people.

But it was only second. After more than a hundred people, it would be difficult for the cavalry from behind to cause too many casualties to the infantry phalanx of the Far Eastern Army.

At this point, the two sides fought inextricably for a while, and the defeat of the Far East Army could not be seen in a short time.

Of course, Li's army has two or three times the strength of the opponent. If they continue to fight like this, it's not like they have no chance of winning.
