Chapter 938: The Final Battle (2)
The battlefield was less than five miles away from Makuli.
The armies of both sides quickly deployed their battle formations, ready to attack each other at any time.
Li Wanshan placed the infantry at the front and the cavalry at the rear, ready to attack the Turkic army from the left and right wings at any time.
In this battle, all the troops he brought went into battle, without even a single reinforcement.
The three Panther divisions also placed their infantry in front, and the remaining cavalry was sent to the Britons.
On the battlefield with an army of more than 100,000, both sides were very quiet. The Khitan side was ready for an outbreak, but the Turkic soldiers did not want to fight.
Li Wanshan rode a horse out of the army formation and looked into the distance at the Turkic army.
As if by telepathy, the Britannicans in the rear army also rode their horses with their personal soldiers, bypassing the army in front and arriving at the front of the battlefield.
The two men looked at each other with murderous eyes.
"Next year on this time, I will send people to your grave to pay their respects!" Li Wanshan said calmly.
"Are you really going to kill us all?" asked Capricorn.
"That's right. You have no sincerity in peace talks and you even want to block our way home. I won't fall for your tricks any further."
"Supreme Khan, your request is to cede half of the Turkic region. You know in your heart that this is not a trivial matter that can be decided lightly."
"Of course I know. That's why I want you to make a decision quickly. I don't want to wait until winter comes and a blizzard hits. Then we'll be trapped here and die."
"Our Turkic Khan is from one of the five tribes of Dulu. Makuli is his hometown. Even if he wants to cede it, he will face a lot of pressure. Why can't we give him more time?"
"I can give you time, but the weather won't give you time!"
Li Wanshan gently clamped the horse's belly.
The chill in the air chilled his face.
What he said were all excuses, his real intention was just to completely defeat these Leopard Division troops.
The Tang army must have entered the Turkic territory at this moment, and he could not delay any longer.
If the British received the news and led their army back to the Stone Kingdom, it would cause some unnecessary trouble.
As for the issue he was most worried about, he just mentioned it. The weather was getting colder and colder, and a heavy snowstorm might come at any time.
"Since reason doesn't make sense, let's use our fists to make it work."
The Britannia marched away and made final arrangements for the battle.
Although he had no experience in commanding large armies, he was still able to lead tens of thousands of troops.
Having followed Daleha and Sieg successively, he still has some command ability.
I just don't know if he, who only has a little command ability, can perform exceptionally well when facing Li Wanshan.
After returning to the main camp, Li Wanshan looked at Li Bushang.
"uncle!"
"You will be in the front line, leading the army to attack them. A full 20,000 troops. I leave it all to you!"
Li Bu Shang clasped his fists and said, "Yes!"
Li Wanshan rushed to the central army without stopping. The central army was commanded by his uncle Sun Wanlong. He also handed the central army over to Sun Wanlong and asked Sun Wanlong to be ready to support Li Bushang at any time.
Then he came to the rear army. Among the 10,000-man army, a considerable number of them were his personal soldiers, and the rest were elite soldiers trained by Sun Wanrong with great savings. They were wearing heavy armor and guarding Li Wanshan.
Li Wanshan found Sun Xiangzhou, Bu Zhen and Huang Zhen and said:
"I have great faith in your abilities, so I won't dictate your fighting style. Your most important task is to destroy the 20,000-plus cavalry on the opposing side!"
Sun Xiangzhou put on his helmet and nodded heavily:
"Me, Bu Zhen, and Huang Zhen, if we join forces, no cavalry can defeat us!"
Bu Zhen really agreed with this statement.
The three of them joined forces and were invincible!
Huang Zhen, who was forcibly pulled in, has won great victories in all battles since entering the Turkic region, and has become a little arrogant.
He patted his chest and said, "Together, we are invincible!"
The three cavalry units were ready to go. Once the battle started, they would immediately bypass the main battlefield and split into two parts to attack the Turkic cavalry.
Li Bushang of the vanguard army beat the war drums and sent out infantry to attack the Turkic army. The Turkic side was not ambiguous either and also pressed forward with infantry, preparing for hand-to-hand combat.
When the soldiers of both sides were only a hundred steps apart, the archers on both sides shot at each other at the same time, causing casualties to the infantry on both sides.
Although Li Bushang felt distressed, the enemy's casualties were obviously higher than his own, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and send his men to charge.
Among the Turkic Leopard Division, several generals also gritted their teeth and moved forward. The number of casualties among the soldiers was shocking to them, but the war had to continue.
In the rear, the Knights of the Britannia handed over the important task of commanding the Leopard Division Cavalry and the Eagle Division Cavalry to the deputy general Amandla, and then led the Wolf Cavalry to charge out.
The lightly armed guerrilla cavalry, the Canglang Cavalry, still has a great advantage. When facing the heavily armed assault corps, the Iron Harriers, which do not run very fast, they have a clear speed advantage.
All the Canglang Cavalry members were armed with bows and crossbows, carrying crossbow arrows, and followed Jie Libian to appear in front of the left wing of the Khitan army.
The news immediately reached the rear of the Khitan army. Bu Zhen nodded to Sun Xiangzhou and Huang Zhen, and turned his horse to head towards the right wing of the army.
Sun Xiangzhou raised the scimitar in his hand and shouted: "Long live the Eternal Heaven, long live the Khitan!"
The Khitan cavalry roared and followed Sun Xiangzhou towards the left wing of the army.
They would meet the Turkic Wolf Cavalry at some point, and then wait for the Iron Harriers to defeat the remaining Turkic cavalry.
Huang Zhen led the Yingzhou guards to catch up, and the cavalrymen all drew their bows and arrows, full of fighting spirit.
Soon, on the left wing of the army, the Khitan cavalry, armed with bows, fired a wave of arrows at the Canglang cavalry, who were armed with bows and crossbows.
"Not the Iron Harrier?"
Kalebron frowned slightly.
"not good!"
"Amantuo's Leopard Cavalry must be facing the Iron Harriers!"
"Damn it! They're actually playing the ancient Tang Dynasty horse race, Tian Ji. Crossbowmen versus archers! Even if we all die, the Khitan cavalry won't lose many men!"
"Turn!"
Without further ado, turn around.
Led by Jie Li Britain, the Gray Wolf Riders galloped wildly into the distance.
Sun Xiangzhou was not going to miss the opportunity to give the enemy a beating, so he led the cavalry to chase after them. Huang Zhen and the Yingzhou guards followed behind with great interest.
When archers face crossbowmen, it is a complete suppression of equipment.
Given the stability of the crossbow, even if you shoot it while riding a horse, it may not hurt anyone.
Even if someone is injured, it would be difficult to load a second crossbow arrow.
Even if the Canglang Cavalry were well-trained and could load the second crossbow arrow as quickly as possible, they might not be able to hurt anyone.
No matter what, it is difficult to kill the enemy.
Even if half of the Canglang Cavalry were archers, it would be difficult for them to put great pressure on the Tuo Cavalry, which had a larger number of archers.
Running in front, Jie Britain cursed Bu Zhen for a while, but in the end he was powerless to do anything.
"No martial ethics, no martial ethics!"
"I killed Jili, and you didn't even come to seek revenge!"
"You're spineless!"
