Chapter 102: Performance

Something is unusual!

Jiang Cai, who was riding behind Liu Yu with Ma Ji, keenly felt this, and he didn't know why, but at the first glance of Liu Yu, he noticed it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the past, Liu Yu had not done such an outrageous thing, but it was mostly a kind of self-confidence that planned and then acted, and today, although the other party's expression seemed calm, there were some different things in those eyes.

Anxious.

Yes, it is anxious, and there is some uneasiness in it, unlike Ma Ji's newly acquainted subordinates, he has been dealing with Liu Yu for a long time, so when others may just be confused, he already has some certainty in his heart that something must have happened.

In his impression, there are not many things that can make Liu Yu behave like this, and after diverging his thinking a little, Jiang immediately thought of a possibility, and only that possibility would affect his emotions, so while people were not paying attention, he secretly used his strength with his legs to let the horse gallop to Liu Yu's side.

"Is there news in the direction of Ezhou?"

"Well, in less than ten days, the army of the Tartars will be heading south." Liu Yu naturally wouldn't hide it from him, lowered his voice, and didn't even change his gaze, and the Tartar camp in the distance had already appeared in his field of vision.

No wonder, Jiang Cai was looking ahead like him, a red torrent was rolling forward, this was almost the only soldiers and horses on the whole road in Guangxi, and the number of opponents was even more, after resting for so long, no matter what the morale was, their defense must be complete. At this point, Jiang Cai believes that Liu Yu will not be unexpected, why is it necessary to send an inexperienced new army?

"Don't worry, the Tartars won't fight to the death, they're just afraid that they will retreat."

As if seeing his thoughts, Liu Yu said softly, Jiang Cai did not hide the horror in his heart, and was almost about to blurt out a question, but fortunately, he stopped his mouth in a hurry, so that no one noticed it.

He didn't know that Liu Yu had a follow-up move, and the latter didn't tell him, just because he wasn't sure about this matter, and it wasn't until the moment the exact news came back that Liu Yu was really relieved, otherwise it would be like Jiang Cai and the others were worried that this part of the Tartars would firmly contain them here and could not be used on the Jinghu battlefield.

Liu Yucai didn't believe that in order to achieve this goal, the other party would not hesitate to give up the entire Yunnan, you must know that they have not ruled there for a long time, and there are still many potential old forces in Dali, such as the Duan clan.

This battle was actually fought for those envoys behind, and only by letting them see with their own eyes how the Yuan people were defeated in the face of the Song people's offensive could they maximize the effect of his plan.

Just as they spoke, the five thousand foot soldiers in the back compartment of the tiger had approached the enemy's range and began to spread out the formation along the riverbank, the Yuan people's camp looked as usual, but Liu Yu knew that they were indeed about to retreat, because the spies who were watching the movements of the camp passed the real news back word for word.

"Beat the drums, attack!"

As Liu Yu's gesture fell, the drummers who followed the Chinese army immediately raised their gavels in their hands, and the rumbling drums resounded through the river valley plains, and the foot soldiers who formed an attack formation raised their spears and stepped forward slowly to the beat of the drums, forcing towards the enemy's camp.

The camp of the Yuan people was already a little panicked, and the general orders from the Chinese army's big tent were distributed one by one, but all the generals and colonels who received the general orders found that Pingzhang did not let them out of the camp to line up, but the whole army retreated!

The news of Ulan Hudu was only a little later than the Song attack, so it caused the inconsistencies in the general's order, the queue that should have been lined up and out of the camp a long time ago suddenly had to turn to the rear, and the rear was still moving forward, if it wasn't for the benefits of ordinary training, it would have been completely chaotic now.

"It's too late, go tell Duan Zhiming and let his people hold on for a moment no matter what, until all our troops withdraw."

At this time, Sai Chidian had no intention of investigating why the news would arrive so late, and it was the most important thing to quickly withdraw the army back while the Song army had not yet attacked, and when the Song people's drums came, his face was as pale as a piece of paper, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.

The Bagan people invaded Yunnan on a large scale, the news he was most worried about, actually happened, you must know that it is an unruly country, twice beheaded the envoys they sent, and is also ready to move on the Dali hometown, perhaps it is for this reason that Sai Chidian will stop his troops in the walled city for so long, subconsciously, just to prevent this day from happening.

It's too late to say anything now, the news came from Dali Road, it said that the Bagan people had taken Zhenkang Road, and the city there was not as strong as the Song people, not to mention holding on for a month, even a few days were extravagant hopes, he could only pin his hopes on the eldest son, there were still 5,000 Mongolian cavalry left.

But Sai Chidian also knew that the hope would not be too big, and the other party claimed to have come to 200,000! , even if the real number is only half, it is 100,000 people, without the support of his own 30,000 army, he doesn't dare to think about it, when he goes back, Dali still exists.

However, the most important thing now is that he has to go back alive, and the Song people coincidentally took the initiative to attack at this time, in his opinion, it is a strategy, if there is no conspiracy between the two countries, how can they cooperate seamlessly, how can they retreat? He wasn't sure, because there were countless enemies waiting along the way.

In the midst of this contradiction, Duan Zhiming, who received the order to stick to it, knew deeply that he and the thousands of people under his command had been abandoned by Pingzhang.

Moment? What's the use of a moment, unless he can block the attack of the Song people, otherwise this army, which is mainly composed of foot soldiers, will not be able to escape far at all, and the final result will definitely be pursued all the way until it is completely annihilated.

Surrender with your weapons? Duan Zhiming didn't think about it, but as far as he knew, the Song people had never wanted to be taken prisoner at all, and all the people were cut off by them and hung on wooden stakes.

"Up, up, stop them."

The front part of the Song people had already crossed the ditch and rushed to the first fence, and in the process, the arrows they received were basically negligible, all because of the chaos of that moment.

The fence that was not strong was directly knocked down, and the two sides were close to each other at the edge of the camp, and the planners who had lost their way to retreat pounced on them with a frantic attitude under the leadership of Duan Zhiming, and for a while they did not let the Song people advance half a step.

There was an unexpected stalemate in the battle, and with the news from the spies that the main force of the Tartars was retreating with all their might, almost as fast as a rout, they had left all their baggage and brought only the only rations they had.

Ma Ji and the others were a little breathless, even Jiang Cai's expression was the same, this was almost a victory in hand, as long as they broke through their last line of defense, it was an easy job to chase and kill, and military merit could be said to be at your fingertips.

However, as the head coach, Liu Yu still had a calm expression, as if he hadn't seen their movements, in fact, he didn't think so in his heart, how sorry it was to give up a big victory.

It's a pity that he has no choice, and even has to stop the last pursuit, because only if Sai Chidian escapes back with people, it is possible to prevent the Bagan people from taking Dali, otherwise their next target will not be anything else, which is their own Guangxi.

Let the two be equal in Dali, which is the most in his interests, not to mention that there is also an Annan on the side, and their eyes will be transferred to Dali, and Guangxi will be safe.

"The work of chasing and killing, let the people do it, they won't be able to escape easily, we are about to turn to Jingjiang Mansion, and now we can't delay for a moment."

Seeing that after a fierce battle, the rear carriage finally broke through the enemy's defenders. Liu Yu knew that this scene should fall, and the reason he gave was naturally above board, and no one could say anything.

After this toss, his tiredness came up again, and there was no joy of victory at all.
