Chapter 2502 a crushing defeat
The speed of the Knight Camp was so fast. When Meng Nan had just issued a warning horn, the barbarians had not had time to react, the Knight Camp rushed over and launched an attack on the barbarians' camp.
The Xiaoqi Camp did not participate in the battle to attack Wei County. It was deployed by Yang Hu on the left wing of Wei County, that is, in the southwest of Wei County, and it was the closest army to Dianchi Lake.
This was specially arranged by Yang Hu. The task of the Xiaoqi Camp is to block the reinforcements from the Shu army from west to east towards Wei County, so as not to allow other troops to have the opportunity to approach Wei County. If there is any situation in Dianchi Lake, the Xiaoqi Camp can also return to the rescue as soon as possible.
After Dianchi Lake was attacked by barbarians this time, General Xu Lin of the Cavalry led the Cavalry Camp to set off immediately and rushed to Dianchi Lake without stopping.
After arriving at the destination, Xu Lin did not stop at all, and directly divided his troops into three groups and launched an attack on the barbarian camp.
Although Meng Li has a certain military level, he has never fought actual combat and has not experienced real wars. Therefore, he still has a considerable lack of military literacy. Just to be a camp, the entire barbarian camp is in chaos, and each tribe is in its own camp, without unified and corresponding arrangements and deployments.
After all, there are too many things to command an army of tens of thousands of people to fight. Meng Li has no experience in this area, so naturally it is impossible to fully understand everything.
Meng Li naturally wanted to work hard to do the best. At least he could still pass the exam and send Meng Nan to patrol the camp to prevent the Wei army's sneak attack.
But in other aspects, Meng Li seemed a little helpless. After all, these barbarian soldiers were temporarily gathered by various tribes, and integration and coordination between tribes is a relatively difficult task, so the entire camp is in a mess. If you want to adjust, it is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
At the beginning, Meng Li also tried to command the troops of each tribe to camp in an orderly manner, but in the end, it was found that this was just a futile thing. If you really wanted to be orderly, it would not be possible even if you were tormented until dawn. So Meng Li gave up in the end and asked the tribes to find their own places to camp. Anyway, this camp was temporary. They would have to move their nests regardless of whether they would succeed in attacking Dianchi Lake tomorrow.
It should be the most unwise way to waste energy on camping.
However, due to the chaos of the barbarian camp, it naturally became chaotic when attacked by the Wei cavalry.
After the sound of the trumpet, most of the barbarians woke up and took their weapons and rushed out of the camp. However, after leaving the camp, they were like headless flies, rushing around, without unified command at all, and they didn't know what to do or what to do.
However, the attack of the Wei cavalry was orderly. The three armies were like three sharp knives, attacking the barbarian camp from three directions. These three directions formed an invisible net, surrounding the entire barbarian camp.
The barbarian camp has almost no fortifications, and there are not even the most ordinary fences and trenches. This has no obstacles to the barbarian camp. After the barbarian camp launches an attack, it can easily pierce the barbarian defense line, like cutting waves, and out of the bamboo.
The most powerful attack method of the Knight Camp is speed, which relies on its own powerful inertial impact to penetrate the enemy's defense line. If the enemy's formation is strong enough, the Knight Camp's ability to break the formation is not as good as that of the Yueqi Camp and the Tunqi Camp.
But if you deal with a mob like the barbarians, the Cavalry Camp can fully utilize its advantages.
During the day, barbarians may be able to rely on the advantage of large numbers of people to form a certain combat power. But now at dawn, it is not dawn, and people just woke up and are still in a state of ignorance. What’s more important is the lack of unified command, and the entire camp is in chaos. It is difficult to effectively resist the fierce offensive of the Wei cavalry.
The barbarians have good physical fitness and strong individual combat capabilities. However, even the most powerful infantry is difficult to be an opponent when they encounter cavalry. Therefore, this battle showed a crushing momentum from the beginning. The Wei cavalry was like a storm, trampling on the barbarian camp like a rush. Wherever they went, people rolled their heads and blood flowed into a river.
The barbarians fled everywhere, but instead trampled on each other, with countless casualties. What's more, there were countless Wei cavalry from all directions. The barbarians ran away with their heads in their arms and wanted to escape, but often as they ran, they were attacked by Wei cavalry in front of them, and they turned back and forth, exhausted, but found that they could never escape the pursuit of Wei cavalry.
In fact, there were not many people in the Cavalry Camp. After drawing 6,000 people away, only nine thousand cavalry are left. However, due to the fast speed and high attack efficiency, they can create a scene of thousands of troops by galloping back and forth.
The barbarians completely collapsed and ran away with no life, but in the end they found that it was still a futile thing. No matter how they escaped, there were always the figures of Wei cavalry from all directions and could not escape.
In just half an hour, the barbarians had suffered heavy losses and completely collapsed. In the midst of the chaos, Meng Nan finally got a meeting with Meng Li. Seeing that the situation was no longer possible, Meng Li discussed with Meng Nan and decided to break through from the south, go to Bengu, and meet with Meng Ke and Meng Zhang before talking.
So Meng Li and Meng Nan didn't care about cleaning up the mess, and led more than 10,000 soldiers to flee in the direction of Bengu.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and Meng Li and others finally escaped from the Wei army's encirclement. As the sound of killing behind them became farther and farther away, Meng Li and Meng Nan were slightly relieved.
However, seeing the team of less than ten thousand people left by my side, Meng Li couldn't help but frown. When she first arrived at Dianchi Lake, Meng Li was so glorious that she had led 50,000 troops. It was only two days later that she was defeated so miserably, which made Meng Li sigh.
The battle was completely silly. Meng Li never dreamed that the Wei army's reinforcements came so fast and the impact was so strong. The barbarians did not even have a little resistance in front of the Wei cavalry. From the Wei army's attack to the escort, they did not even have an hour to do so.
Even Meng Li didn't know how many troops the Wei army had killed. Being an enemy of the Wei army may be the biggest mistake in Meng Li's life.
But now that things have come to this point, it is difficult to stop the water from overflowing, and Meng Li can only take one step at a time.
