Chapter 76: Victory in the first battle
Looking at the firelight in the distance, Yun Qing picked up his Yuan Li and exhaled: "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived." "As long as you hold on a little longer, it will be the death of the enemy."
Yun Qing's words reached the ears of the soldiers of the two armies like thunder.
When the soldiers in the walled city saw the fire in the distance, they let out a roar of joy, as if they suddenly had inexhaustible strength, and began to fight back again.
The Eastern Navy, on the other hand, also saw the fire in the distance.
"Send cavalry over to intercept them." Donghai Gong sneered: "With their small number of people, it's a joke that they dare to come to the rescue." ”
"Don't worry, Lord Duke. Our 60,000 cavalry alone can drown them with a mouthful of spit. The nobleman next to him said flatteringly.
After receiving the order, the cavalry of the Eastern Navy immediately galloped in the direction of the reinforcements, trying to intercept the reinforcements.
"I should have brought siege engines if I had known. Now it's hard to rely on people to bang on the door. "A general in the Eastern Navy was a little depressed, but who would have thought that the coalition forces could miraculously build such a city
When Donghai Gong heard this, his face was even more ugly.
At that moment, he suddenly heard a scream.
When he turned his head to look, he saw that the cavalry troops he sent were actually in a mess.
Countless horses fell to the ground with soft feet, and even some of them fell before they even ran out of the cavalry camp.
"What's going on, what the hell is going on" Sun Canghai was taken aback, what happened to those horses and why they couldn't run
"Kill"
The cavalry of the coalition army was killed at this time.
The Eastern Navy cavalry, which was supposed to besiege the coalition cavalry on horseback, lost its mount at this time.
And the cavalry that had lost their mounts was even inferior to ordinary infantry in some way, not to mention that the vast majority of them were injured by the sudden fall of their horses. Coupled with this kind of influence, morale has fallen to freezing point.
An army that has no morale, let alone fighting, is lucky not to be able to drag down the rest of its own troops.
When the two armies fight, in many cases, they compare various preparations and strategies before the war, and on the battlefield, in addition to the commander's command, the more decisive factor is the morale of the army.
The wolf-like cavalry of the coalition army first rushed into this dog-like army, and with the momentum of the horses, they quickly entered the hinterland of the Eastern Navy cavalry, which was already in chaos.
With just one impact, it easily chiseled through the array of cavalry of the Eastern Navy.
Then the rear army changed to the front army, and after the formation changed, the charge was launched again.
"Come on, divide troops to help, we must not let our cavalry be annihilated like this." Sun Canghai was furious.
Immediately, a general led his troops to support.
However, after the allied cavalry once again cut through the cavalry array of the Eastern Navy, the frightened cavalry of the Eastern Navy still had the heart to fight, and fled in the direction of their own troops.
Immediately after, the Allied cavalry launched a third charge.
Leading the coalition cavalry was Yue Qingrou and Leng Ling'er.
The chiseling tactics of the allied cavalry can be implemented so lightly, except that the horses of the Eastern Navy are unable to run because of Yunqing's means, it is because the two of them serve as the tip of the cavalry to attack.
The extremely strong force of the two made the cavalry of the Eastern Navy flee in despair, and although several generals with good martial arts cultivation stepped forward to stop them, but under the joint efforts of the two, they were all killed in one face.
These two people joined forces, coupled with the power of the two artifacts, even if Ye Ling Xiao was here, he would have to avoid three points, not to mention that they were too far behind Ye Ling Xiao.
"Stop me. Whoever let you escape will be killed by me. Kill all the deserters. The generals who led the troops to support suddenly saw their cavalry retreating overwhelmingly, and one by one they were so frightened that they threw off their armor and fled to their side.
The defeated army is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that the defeated army rushed into its own army.
Once one's array is dispersed, it will not be able to form an effective command, and even the atmosphere of the defeated army will infect one's own army, and the morale of one's own army will also drop.
The two armies compete for the brave to win, and if there is no morale, where will there be the brave
But even if his decision was correct, the situation was irreparable at this moment.
His archers and soldiers continued to kill the defeated troops who rushed towards them, but the soldiers showed no signs of stopping, and still rushed towards them like crazy.
Although the soldiers in front had already figured out that they would be shot in front of them, the soldiers in the back did not know about it.
So although the front wanted to retreat, the soldiers behind rushed over, and there was no room for retreat, so in the end they could only run forward desperately, hoping that they would be lucky enough to rush into their camp without being shot.
The defeated army of the cavalry of the Eastern Navy was as anxious as a lost dog, panicked like a fish that slipped through the net, and suffered heavy casualties under the front and rear attacks.
Yue Qingrou and Leng Ling'er have experienced a hundred battles, and they don't know the strength of these defeated armies, so they immediately led the cavalry to chase and fight slowly behind, driving the defeated army over there like a sheep.
The general who came to support Rao was very strict in governing the army, but his soldiers were also shaken.
You must know that they shot their own comrades-in-arms, maybe they were laughing and training together before the war, and in the blink of an eye, they were actually asked to shoot them with their own hands.
How cruel the situation was, and some of the soldiers were driven insane.
Finally, the defeated army rushed in, and immediately broke the neat military formation.
Many soldiers were even knocked down and trampled to death.
"It's over." The general looked at the situation in front of him, his face was as dead as ashes, and he knew that he had no power to return to heaven, and at this moment, it was difficult for his soldiers to even take a step forward, let alone fight the enemy.
"Retreat. The whole army retreated. Finally, the general was extremely reluctant to give the order to retreat.
Yun Qing looked at this scene and laughed: "Brothers, the Eastern Navy has been defeated and lost, and it is time for us to fight back." Open the gates and rush. ”
The sound resounded throughout the battlefield, and all the soldiers heard it.
The officers and men of the Eastern Sea who were slamming into the city gate suddenly looked back, and sure enough, they saw that many of their soldiers were being chased and killed by the opponent's reinforcements, and were retreating to their own camp, so they were suddenly a little depressed.
At this time, the city gate suddenly opened, and Yun Qing led the army to kill it.
During this time, the soldiers in the walled city were about to go crazy with grievances, and when the city gate opened, they were all like tigers descending from the mountain, and they were angry and killed the soldiers of the Eastern Navy.
Seeing the chaos in the east, the rout was expanding, the frontal attack failed repeatedly, and even the counterattack in the walled city at this moment actually caused his own troops to retreat one after another, Sun Canghai couldn't stop trembling: ", waste. A bunch of waste. You bunch of shit. It's a waste to lose to them. ”
"Lord Duke, let's retreat for the time being. At this point, the defeat is already done, and if we continue, we will only lose more. A general next to him offered advice: "It is better to retreat for the time being, and wait for the opportunity to attack again." ”
"Yes, Lord Duke. All of our horses have fallen, this thing is too strange. I wonder if there is a spy among us who drugged our horses, otherwise, it would not explain the situation in any way. Lord Duke, if we don't catch the spy first, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable. Another nobleman persuaded.
Sun Canghai was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately ordered: "That's right, there must be spies." Otherwise, how could this be the case for all the war horses, and they were defeated so quickly, there must have been spies in tandem and spreading rumors. Retreat and get the spies out. ”
The order was given, and the Eastern Navy immediately withdrew like a tide.
The coalition pursued for miles before returning.
"You couldn't have come at a better time. If it had been any longer, the gates would have been breached. ”
"There is no way, if we cross the river directly here, we will have few troops, and they only need to divide a force to intercept it will be enough for us to suffer heavy losses. So there was only a detour to cross the river. Yue Qingrou replied.
In the tent, Yun Qing unfolded the map and marked the location of the Eastern Navy's retreat that had been detected by the Lightning Falcon.
"This place is backed by Qi Mountain, facing the plain, close to the Mo River to get water, and it can be attacked and defended, which can be described as invulnerable." General Li muttered: "That old thief can have the scene he has today, and there are really many good generals under him. ”
"Still can't help it." Yun Qing looked at the map with a little headache: "There is a huge disparity in strength, if there is no good way, it can only be a stalemate." ”
"Yanhui, do you have any way" Ling Yue'er looked at Lin Yanhui, who was lying lazily on the recliner and didn't even glance at the map.
"Originally, there was a way. But it was destroyed by Yunqing for me. Lin Yanhui stretched lazily, and her eyes didn't bother to open: "I originally asked him to bring the herbs and ice beans, so that these two things can be fully soaked in water on the wooden raft, so that when we arrive, we can mix it with the spirit smoked grass I brought, and use the northwest wind in a few days, if it is lit at that time, those poisonous smoke can directly make the soldiers of the Eastern Navy completely useless." But who knows, this guy actually took the vanilla and ice beans and used them without authorization. ”
Yun Qing was stunned when he heard this: "No, you don't want me to use those two things."
"Who said that you really want to use it, I won't say it" Lin Yanhui's left eye broke away, and her beautiful eyes glared at him angrily: "But forget it, you didn't waste those things in the end, and you pitted the 60,000 cavalry." But then, although it is a little troublesome, there is always a way. ”
"First, the whole country sent out the news that all the nobles knew about the construction of the city overnight and the defeat of the Eastern Navy in the first battle. Second, once again ask the other nobles to raise troops to serve the king, after this victory, presumably many neutral nobles will raise troops to support us, third, release all the captives captured this time, of course, we must sue them, they follow the East China Sea public rebellion, and the crime cannot be punished. But His Highness is merciful, as long as he can get the head of a nobleman or their own soldier to surrender to Chengcheng, then he will not be blamed for the past and let them spread this word throughout the Eastern Navy. ”
