With a murderous burst in his eyes, Cai Mao snorted coldly, drew his sword and hand, and shouted: "Order the front army to stop, and the crossbowmen will release arrows at will, and shoot me to death." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The flag of the Chinese army waved, and the Jingzhou iron array of more than 30,000 people slowed down in an instant, and behind the halberd shield hand, nearly 3,000 crossbowmen fired arrows in response.

The arrows rained down all over the world, falling towards the charging Yingbu army.

The salvo of 3,000 crossbowmen is so dense that the rain of arrows is so dense that it is so lethal that it is not trivial.

Among the arrows coming from the locusts, there were constantly Tao soldiers who were hit by arrows and fell in pools of blood, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of people were nailed to the ground.

In the face of the overwhelming rain of arrows, none of these elite soldiers who fought a hundred battles were afraid, still holding high the round shield, resisting the rain of arrows, and charging without hesitation.

Although Yingbu questioned the potter's order, he did not retreat in the slightest, brandishing a large spear to block the incoming arrows, and at the same time scolding the soldiers to march forward bravely without fear of life and death.

"Worthy of the elite of my potter......"

Looking at his brave charging soldiers, the potter nodded slightly, and a relieved expression appeared on his face.

In the face of such a dense rain of arrows, if it was replaced by the soldiers and horses under Yuan Shu, I am afraid that they would have been defeated long ago, and only an army with iron discipline can still remain unchaotic.

After paying more than 500 sacrifices, Yingbu led his soldiers and finally approached to the range of 30 paces of the enemy's formation.

Just one step away, they will be able to crash into the enemy line.

A hand-to-hand battle with a huge disparity in number is about to begin, and the soldiers of the Tao army are all determined to die and have realized it.

And Cai Mao of the Chinese Military Department had a more smug and cold face.

He was ready to sit back and watch how his soldiers and horses would slaughter the rushing army of the pottery army, and use a great victory to wipe out the prestige of the pottery merchants.

Then, he could take advantage of the victory to pursue him, along with the remaining 5,000 soldiers and horses of the potter, and slaughter the potter with his own hands, avenging the death of his brother.

The two armies collided, only in the blink of an eye.

At the last moment, the potter suddenly raised his sword and shouted: "Mingjin, collect the troops." ”

Mingjin!

The generals on the left and right were dumbfounded, and looked at the potter in surprise one by one, thinking that their ears had misheard.

"Husband, the battle between the two armies is imminent, if you make such a bang, the British general will definitely be defeated, if the enemy takes advantage of the situation to crush over, our whole army will be crushed." Lu Lingji's appearance beside her also changed, and she reminded anxiously.

"It's good to be defeated, I'm afraid he won't be defeated......"

The corners of the potter's mouth raised slightly, a mysterious sneer flashed in his eyes, and he said sharply: "Don't hurry up and give me the order to withdraw the troops." ”

will be like a mountain, who has the courage to disobey.

Bang Bang Bang!

The rapid sound of gold suddenly rang out.

"What's the situation?" Yingbu, who had rushed to the enemy for more than ten paces, suddenly heard the sound of gold, and his face immediately changed in shock.

The enemy army is dozens of paces away, and if he turns around and retreats at this time, the enemy army takes advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and he does not have to be defeated.

Not only will his 5,000 men be defeated, but the enemy army will be killed all the way, and even the 5,000 Chinese troops commanded by the pottery merchants behind will also be crushed.

"At this time, the troops are collected, but the taboo of the art of war has been committed, how can the lord be so confused?" Yingbu was so embarrassed that he couldn't figure out which tendon the potter was holding on to the skin.

The military order is like a mountain, but he has no right to question, even if Yingbu is unwilling to have a hundred more, he will never dare to violate the iron law of the potter.

"The sound of gold has sounded, the whole army retreats, give me a retreat!" Yingbu had no choice but to grit his teeth and turn his horse back first.

He turned his horse's head and retreated northward, and the five thousand equally shocked Tao soldiers behind him were all angry, and they all followed Yingbu towards the rear.

Cai Mao also changed color.

However, he was not stunned, but surprised.

"Withdrawing troops from the battle, the art of war is taboo, potter, potter, you are killing yourself!"

Cai Mao was already ecstatic in a blink of an eye, drew his sword and shouted: "Beat the drum, the whole army will give me the opportunity to pursue, kill the enemy and thieves in one fell swoop, and get the head of the pottery merchant, and reward a thousand gold." ”

The Cai family is the largest family in Jingxiang, some of them are rich, and in order to avenge their second brother, Cai Mao has made a bloody investment.

"General Cai, the potters are only 10,000 soldiers and horses, they are already suspicious, and now they suddenly retreat, this move is quite suspicious, and the last general thinks that the general should not pursue rashly, but he is afraid that he will fall into the potter's plan to lure the enemy."

Beside him, the general who reminded him was the general of Jingbei Su.

Cai Mao's figure shook slightly, and her brain, which was overtaken by the anger of revenge, immediately sobered up a little and regained her composure.

He immediately realized that his command of the right talent was a bit too much.

"Hmph, pottery thief, you want to play tricks with me to lure the enemy, who am I, Cai Mao, how can I be your ......?"

Cai Mao sneered, and then shouted: "Pass the order, the whole army must not pursue too quickly, and must keep the formation for me." ”

When the order was passed, the Jingzhou army of more than 30,000 people did not crack the formation and pursued wantonly, continued to maintain the formation, and steadily moved towards the defeated Tao army.

The enemy did not dare to pursue in a split formation, and the speed was naturally not fast, which gave the Anglo-Cloth army the opportunity to withdraw in time.

The 5,000 soldiers retreated all the way under the rain of arrows, and after paying more than 700 corpses, they finally retreated beyond the range of the enemy.

"Cai Mao didn't rush to pursue, it seems that there is a master around him to remind him, but it's a pity, in order to get the Son of Heaven, you can only be led by my nose, and you have to chase ...... if you don't chase"

The potter sneered, looked up and saw that the British army had retreated, so he turned his horse and left, leading the whole army to retreat north.

The 10,000 "defeated army" retreated all the way north along the avenue, and soon withdrew to the south bank of the river a few miles away.

As long as the Tao army withdraws from this water, it can take advantage of the terrain to temporarily delay the pursuit of the enemy army, and then take the opportunity to widen the distance between it and the enemy's pursuers.

The water level does not seem to be too high, and the water level does not seem to be too high in the summer.

The potter immediately ordered the whole army to wade across the river and flee to the other side in a hurry.

Behind him, Cai Mao's army, like a wolf and a tiger, soon caught up.

"After playing so many tricks, it turned out that you just wanted to lure me to chase across the river, so that I could give me a half-cross attack, potter, you also underestimate me Cai Mao."

The river in front of him blocked the way, and Cai Mao suddenly realized, thinking that he had seen through the potter's "small skills of carving insects".

After some disdainful ridicule, Cai Mao did not dare to act rashly, and sent a team of soldiers and horses to explore the depth of the water.

In front of him, Tao Jun could wade across the river, and there was no boat nearby, so Cai Mao also wanted to wade across the river and pursue him.

Soon, the scout returned, saying that the river was only over the lacquer cover, and not very deep.

"Is it ridiculous that such shallow water can stop me from pursuing?"

All Cai Mao's vigilance dissipated, and with a sneer, he ordered the whole army to wade across the river and continue the pursuit.

When the order was passed, the 30,000 Jingzhou troops rolled up their trouser legs and waded in to the opposite bank.

However, Cai Mao ridiculed and ridiculed, but he still did not forget to be vigilant, and in the process of crossing the river, he strictly ordered the soldiers to keep in formation at all times and not give the potters a chance to "half-cross".

A hundred steps away, the potters who had crossed the river stood on a high ground on the north bank, staring coldly at the Jingzhou soldiers who were crossing the river, and a cold smile appeared on their young faces.

"The time has come, light the fire and give Cai Mao a big gift."
