Datang romantic little landlord

Therefore, the outcome of this skirmish is self-evident.

An hour later, the defeated cavalrymen of Xue Yantuo fled northward in embarrassment, and the troops of the Tang army going south added hundreds of prisoners of war again...

After defeating Xue Yantuo's cavalry, he didn't dare to delay any longer. After handing over the captured Xue Yantuo cavalry to the southward Tang cavalry, he galloped towards Yudujun Mountain.

These Tang troops were ordered to leave the customs, no matter what, they had to meet Li Wangyou, otherwise they would not dare to go back and return their orders like this.

After hearing that His Royal Highness King Qin had only 20 troops in command, he rushed straight to Dujun Yu Mountain to challenge Xue Yantuo's [-] troops. These Tang soldiers all felt chills down their backs.

They didn't think King Qin could win, even with their thousands of troops, compared to Xue Yantuo's 20 army, it was still a drop in the bucket.

Now they are going straight to Dujun Yu Mountain, maybe they are going to die.

But even though the road ahead was bleak, these Tang soldiers did not dare to turn their horses and head south to return to the Great Wall Pass.

Whether it was because of Li Er's will or to rescue King Qin, they could only bite the bullet and move on.As soldiers, even if there are mountains of swords and flames ahead, they must go for it!

If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!

Li Wangyou, who was thousands of miles away, would naturally not know about this little battle that took place on the grassland.

At this time, he had already led nine thousand soldiers and horses, chasing the frightened Jie Libi all the way, and he chased all the way to the vicinity of Dujun Yu Mountain before stopping.

The scouts in the army came to report that twenty miles ahead was the camp of Xue Yantuo's army.According to the banners on the camp, it is certain that Xue Yantuo's Yi Nan Khan went out in person and was in the camp at this moment.

Li Wangyou was not so arrogant, he ran directly to fight against the 10,000+ Xue Yantuo army.

After ordering people to set up the camp, he led Mi Tuo and a group of dudes to a nearby hill, preparing to observe the enemy's situation in person.

However, when the people climbed up the hill and used binoculars to look at Xue Yantuo's camp under the guards of personal guards and Buqu, their expressions became quite ugly.

Even if Li Wangyou knew how stupid Xue Yantuo was when he dismounted from the cavalry formation, and where the fatal weakness was, when he saw Xue Yantuo's camp not far away with his own eyes, he couldn't help feeling tense.

With an army of 10,000+, the camp range stretches for several miles!

Looking around, Xue Yantuo's banners were flying in the wind, and countless cavalry were galloping around the camp as a warning.

In Xue Yantuo's camp, people were even more crowded, and the neighing of horses could be heard endlessly...

Rao Li Wangyou's psychological quality is not bad, but he still felt shocked when he saw the camp of 10,000+ people with his own eyes.

In fact, Li Wangyou didn't know what the camp of the 10,000+ army was like. The western expedition army he led before had as many as 15 people, which was not inferior to the Xue Yantuo army in front of him, and even surpassed it.

But he had never climbed a height to overlook the Tang army camp.

Being in the camp, I didn't realize at all that looking at the camp of tens of thousands of troops from a distance would be so shocking.

Cheng Chumo and the others also had ugly faces at the moment.

Chai Lingwu couldn't help swallowing: "Ziyou, I really want to throw thousands of people to attack Xue Yantuo's army? Should I think about it again?"

Mi Tuo also quickly persuaded: "Your Highness, you have taught Xue Yantuo people enough lessons. How about I go south immediately and return to Datang? If I want to go forward with light clothes, even if Xue Yantuo's army wants to chase, they will not be able to catch up." Up."

All the dandies also began to speak out to persuade them, even Ah Dian had the same attitude.

Although he wanted to avenge the Hult tribe, it was crazy to attack 10,000+ people with thousands of people.

Li Wangyou was persuaded by everyone, but his heart beat.

Can this battle really be won?

Ma Dan, don't you know how to talk nonsense in history books?

Can Li Ji really defeat tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo cavalry with 6000 troops?

Li Wangyou's face turned pale, and he felt that he really made a fatal mistake...

1045 Unsustainable

After seeing the camp that stretched for several miles in front of him, Li Wangyou suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a big mistake... that was to ignore the numerical advantage of Xue Yantuo's army!

Although he was aware of the fatal weakness of Xue Yantuo's dismounted cavalry formation, it was extremely difficult to break through this weakness in the face of absolute superiority.

Yi Nan Khan holds an army of 10,000+, and it is impossible to devote all his troops to fight against him at once.

So even if he defeated tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo's army, it would be meaningless.Yi Nan Khan still held nearly a hundred thousand troops in his hands, and he would not be given a second chance to send cavalry to raid the rear cavalry.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if Yinan Khan was extremely brain-dead and ordered all 10,000+ troops to dismount and fight Datang, Li Wangyou would not have any chance.

You know, in Xue Yantuo's army, there are five people in a team. When fighting, four people dismount and line up, and one person guards the horses in the rear.

There are 10,000+ troops, and there are nearly 3 troops in the rear guarding the horses alone!

In Li Wangyou's hands, there were only two thousand cavalry.

Unless he can conjure up a few thousand more cavalry, trying to defeat 3 people with only two thousand cavalry is tantamount to a dream!

Another way to defeat Xue Yantuo's army is to use the three-stage shooting of the composite steel crossbow.Li Wangyou is convinced that as long as he has enough crossbow arrows, he will not be afraid even if there are thousands of troops on the opposite side.

But the bad thing is that the arrow feathers in the quiver bags of two thousand crossbowmen are limited.

This is not playing a real-time strategy game. As long as there are soldiers, there will be an endless stream of bows and arrows to shoot.

The standard configuration of the Tang army, each crossbowman carries 75 crossbow arrows, which is the same configuration as the Mongolian cavalry of later generations.This already depends on the fact that Datang has no shortage of horses now, and it can equip the crossbowmen with enough horses to carry supplies and other materials, otherwise they cannot carry so many crossbow arrows.

Medieval European longbowmen usually carried only fifty arrows with a full load.

As for the two thousand crossbowmen under Li Wangyou's command, the arrows in their quiver bags were exhausted after chasing them all the way, but now they only have fifty or sixty arrows each.

Relying on these crossbows alone, it is wishful thinking to defeat the 10,000+ Xue Yantuo cavalry on the opposite side.

Without crossbow arrows, the composite steel crossbow in the hands of two thousand crossbowmen is like a firearm without bullets, not even as good as a fire stick.

If Yi Nan Khan didn't care about it, and an army of 10,000+ surrounded him from all sides, then Li Wangyou had great abilities, and I'm afraid he would be hard to fly.

After trying to understand these things, Li Wangyou couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

For the persuasion of the dandies and Mi Tuo, although Li Wangyou was unwilling, he could only nod silently: "Okay! Let's withdraw! Damn, those two bastards, Yi Nan and Jie Libi!"

Angrily spitting down the hill, Li Wangyou turned around and beckoned everyone to go down the hill, preparing the whole army to retreat.

Li Wangyou admits that he is scared and is about to run away, but Yi Nan Khan is not willing to let him go.

After Li Wangyou made a decision, Tang Jun directly abandoned the camp he had just set up, and the rear team changed to the front team, retreating straight to the south.

But the army rushed out only tens of miles away, and the scouts behind the army came to report quickly. Xue Yantuo's army also broke out from the camp, and the Chaotang army chased after them.

Li Wangyou cursed secretly in his heart, but he had no choice but to order the whole army to speed up and evacuate southward.
