Chapter 50

"Mingjin, go Mingjin!"

Liu Yu didn't even press the call button, he turned around and urged the soldiers one after another, although he didn't know what was going on, the soldiers immediately turned their horses and ran to the rear of the formation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

By the time the cymbals were vigorously struck by the drummers, the crossbowmen in front had already shot more than half of the arrows, and when they heard the sound of the golden drums, all the commanders immediately waved their flags and gave the order to their respective formations to retreat.

So what Liu Yu, who was anxious, saw was that the entire army was calmly retreating, most of them thought it was out of some tactical considerations, and only Jiang who was following him understood that something must have happened, and this change was mostly unfavorable to him.

It soon dawned on him that a dark cloud had suddenly risen over the crossbowmen of the Song army, and when they fell, the sound they made was different from the 'whoosh' sound of the arrows tearing through the air, but a somewhat thunderous roar, a sound that was familiar to any veteran who had been in the army for several years, because it was caused by the catapults on the city walls.

"Bang!"

Countless stone bullets fell from the air, and smashed into the retreating Song army formation without any suspense, the volume of this stone bullet is not large, but the power is not reduced at all, and it often becomes broken without snorting when it is directly hit, and most of the time, it is first bounced on the mud ground, and then flies straight out, until it hits a certain unlucky body, and then it will stop, and the broken arms and stumps are splashed in the crowd with blood, bringing fear to everyone in the military array.

"Ahh

The screams of the wounded deepened this fear, and the originally neat military formation collapsed after a blank space, and some people even threw away their bows and arrows, pushing each other for fear of falling behind, and the trampling appeared immediately afterward, and the panicked flow of people rushed to the rear. Wu Laosi led his own soldiers to quickly hold him together, holding on to his weapons, his eyes were full of ruthlessness, once they dared to attack, they would cut down without hesitation, even Jiang Cai pulled out his knife, he knew that there was no reason to talk about it in this situation.

Maybe the big flag was too conspicuous, and the flow of people split into two streams after passing through their group, Liu Yu indifferently watched these people run wildly, and then slowly stopped behind them, because they had no way to escape, behind them was a military formation of nearly 10,000 people with spears, all of which were composed of Qionghai reinforcements, and no one dared to face Rulin's spears, especially after the other party made a defensive posture.

The danger was gone, and all the stone bullets that had been smashed from the enemy line had fallen on the open space before they fled, and there was now a mess, and the few wounded died in the screams, and even if they were wounded, they could only save one life even if they were brought to the next generation, and in this time and space, there was no way to stop the bleeding.

The ground is covered with the remains of the dead, the blood stains the ground, and it makes people palpitate at a glance, but Liu Yu's heart is cold, what makes him chill is that this patchwork team is still a rabble after all, a mistaken attack made them appear in their original form, if the other party follows up with a cavalry army, even he has to quickly retreat, the so-called iron army that is still immobile under the enemy's blows only exists in imagination, and is still far from reality.

Fortunately, I was lucky, the enemy's movement was seen by the eyes of the spies, and their inference came a little late, of course, because it was impossible to determine what the purpose of those moved catapults was, there could be such a change, the other party did not seem to be a brainless person, Liu Yu's gaze swept over the discarded bows and crossbows, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Take those who have discarded even their weapons at will, find out one by one, correct the law before the army, write down their names, and inform their families of the cause of their death in the future, and take the rest aside for the time being, and dispose of them later." Most of the time, Jiang Cai's cavalry plays the role of the executor of military law, and he has done a lot of this kind of work, and he has long been famous in the army.

It is impossible for the law to be public, otherwise who will pay attention to military discipline in the future, and it is even more impossible to dispose of them all, this is still on the battlefield, so the butcher's knife can only be aimed at those soldiers who abandoned their weapons and fled, this punishment is very fair, Jiang Cai took the cavalry around them a few times, and brought out more than a hundred people who returned empty-handed, and when the discipline was announced, everyone fell to the ground crying, but even the archers who fled back together did not show sympathetic eyes.

In fact, including the 100 or so people who were executed by military law, there were no more than 500 people who fell in front of the battle, which is a very small number for nearly 20,000 crossbowmen, but this did not prevent their collapse, this is the law of war in the cold weapon period.

Do you want to go back? Not only does it mean that everything before has been done in vain, but even the morale that has been finally mustered up will fall, because it is equivalent to admitting this battle and having retreated, how could Liu Yu accept such a result, he slowly came to the back with his own soldiers, picked up the horn and put it to his mouth.

"In today's battle, the brothers of the Chinese army suffered more than 2,000 casualties before advancing the battle line in front of the Tartar camp, and if I wait to retreat, their sacrifice will be meaningless." Liu Yu's eyes swept over them one by one: "Do you rush in at the moment, or wait until tomorrow to pay more than 2,000 casualties to come here?" The brothers of the Chinese army have proved their bravery, you are personally selected by Ben Shuai, wearing the best armor and holding the best swords and guns in your hands, can you let all the brothers see that you are worthy of all this, worthy of the military name of 'Tiger Ben Left Army', worthy of Jiang Zhaofu's prestige? ”

There was no response, the faces that were young or mature, all stared in his direction, this mixed team of Song, Han, and Yi people, on the surface, Liu Yu could no longer distinguish their race, but in those eager eyes, there was a certain signal, a signal of not admitting defeat.

"Dare to ask the handsome." The person who spoke was a man with a beard on his face, and Liu Yu could guess that he was one of the prisoners of the original Han army.

"It doesn't hurt to be outspoken."

"The last general is Jiang Zhaofu's all-appointed army, and I want to ask the marshal, where are you going to let me wait?"

"Driving the Tartars through the Hengshan Walled City is a complete achievement."

Liu Yu didn't expect him to ask this, and pointed his hand into the distance, and the tall city stood like a boulder in the waves, fearlessly blocking the tide from all directions.
