Chapter 123: Closing the Net (6)

Although the loudspeaker could amplify the sound, one was too far away, and the other was disturbed by the noise of drums, and Dong Wenbing and the others did not know what was happening in front of them. But tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, how could they stop it, and under the morale of the Song people, his foot soldiers were forced to retreat slowly, which made him nervous again.

Those foot soldiers were brought by him personally, and no one knows better than him what the strength is, and he doesn't know why he will be taken advantage of by the Song army, but it is obvious that his own side has the advantage, Dong Wenbing is puzzled. This retreat, once it turns into a rout, is really irretrievable.

In disbelief, he looked at Azhuhan on the side, only to see that this Mongolian man did not know when he had taken off the leather felt that had not been picked for 10,000 years and replaced it with an iron helmet. Look at the other cavalry, they are all dressed and ready to fight, this is to charge the battle in person?

"Participating in politics is sweeping the battle here, I will take my sons and daughters to go around, and I will go back when I go." Ashuhan took off the riding bow next to the saddle, raised it and signaled, and after a while, the horn sounded behind the battle, and several thousand-strong teams began to urge the war horses and slowly move forward, while their thousands of households were busy but did not move, and after Ashuhan moved forward, he immediately occupied the position just now.

Dong Wenbing didn't say anything to stop it, whether it was a thousand households or tens of thousands of households, and even tens of thousands of households in Ashuhan, they were all rushing to the front in peacetime battles, and this 10,000-person team, in fact, he didn't have much restraining power. If there is really something, they will only listen to the words of Azhuhan, the Mongol himself, and not all the cavalry who came out of the battle at this time, it seems that they also want to suppress the horns.

Sure enough, in order to prevent the artillery stones in the Song army's city, the cavalry did not disperse in horizontal formations as usual, but rushed straight from the top of the battlefield. With his banner in the middle of the ranks, he went into battle in person, not to boast of his prowess, but to get closer to the battlefield and see what was happening at the bottom of the line.

The speed of the cavalry increased rapidly, and when they were still a few dozen paces close to the barbed wire, the front suddenly began to turn to the right. The horseman on the horse stretched out his bow and arrows, and with the momentum of the horse, he controlled the horse purely with his legs, and turned steadily in one direction, and at the same time the arrow flew high into the air, and then the body fell slightly, and when he stabilized his speed, he had already drawn a feathered arrow from the skin behind the horse again.

Thousands of cavalry men were like one man and one horse, and they completed this tactical action under the noses of the Song army, as if they were participating in the "Nada Twilight" conference in the grassland. Like the cavalry around him, Ashuhan kept shooting feathered arrows in his hands, and his eyes took the time to stare at the Song general on the high platform, and the things in his hand made his sharp eyes squint suddenly, and he felt that the sunlight above his head was so dazzling.

At this moment, Azihan's heart sank to the bottom, although his hands were still shooting arrows mechanically, his body was cold, and he wanted to get out of the team and rush forward to see what was going on. That person's head can't see his face clearly, but that big man! He would have preferred it to be fake, only

I don't know if it was due to the appearance of the cavalry, or if the foot soldiers had been forced to the barbed wire fence in the rear, anyway, they once again stabilized the battle line and fought with the Song army again. The cavalry had completed a round of shooting, and the people in front had already turned in the direction they had come, whether to turn around again, and they were all waiting for instructions from Asahan in the formation.

But unexpectedly, the banner of Azihan fell, this is the meaning of the whole army's turn, although the cavalry is puzzled, but also obey the military order to quickly whip the horse, here is a little close to the city, no one wants to be smashed by the cannon stones falling from the sky. Soon the cavalry brigade returned to the starting point, and the whole process turned around in a big circle.

"Chief!" Hearing Ah Tinghan's words, Dong Wenbing's ears were dizzy, and he almost wanted to fall, he could imagine that Chengxi was defeated, but he never thought that he would be defeated so badly! If it is really the handsome Boyan who was killed, then even if this campaign is completely over, it is obviously the one who has the advantage, what is going on in the end?

"It's too far away to see the face clearly, but the big banner" Ah Tinghan didn't finish speaking, just sighed heavily, Dong Wenbing understood what he meant, even if the person is not dead, the commander of the first army falls into the hands of the enemy, it is almost equivalent to death, no wonder their own elite soldiers in a hundred battles will suddenly lose their morale, but what are they going to do now?

At this point, it is impossible to siege the city, and if these people can be completely withdrawn, it can be regarded as a great achievement. But the morale of the Song army is booming, how can they let them go. Looking at the fierce battlefield in front of him, he was thinking that the Song army was desperately trying to block himself, maybe it wasn't to prevent him from rescuing the west of the city.

Grain! Dong Wenbing suddenly thought that after a long siege of the city, he still transported a few days' worth of grain at a time, but the more he went to the back, the more slack, and every time he could only transport the amount of the day. Later, it simply began to be in arrears, and all the grain in the camp was in the west of the city, not to mention how long, today's battle has not been until now, and the soldiers have not eaten a grain of rice!

Thinking back to the entire territory of Jiankang Mansion, the Song army has been fortified and cleared, and it is impossible to find a little food within a radius of 100 miles, and this situation can even be traced back to Taiping Prefecture upstream. No, we can't go on like this anymore, otherwise it won't be long, just wait until tomorrow, and these people will no longer be able to hold a knife or wield a bow.

"I still say the same thing, go around Niushou Mountain, the Song people are all foot soldiers, they dare to chase after them, just try a certain family's riding and shooting." There is no problem with Ashuhan's words from a logical point of view, the Song army can only block one side, the city below, and the river behind, only the above is feasible. But how did the front foot soldiers come back?

Azhuhan is even more anxious than him, there is no grassland here, the Mongolian cavalry cannot bring herds like the western expedition, and the war horses cannot just eat grass, not to mention losing fat, and the sprint will be fatal if it is weak and ineffective. As for the Han people, there are many people in the north, and what does it matter if tens of thousands of people die, but this cannot be declared.

Moreover, he also knew that if he ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops now, he would only lose even worse, and the Song army would never let go of this good opportunity to chase and kill, just like he often did. Time passed minute by minute, and the two supreme commanders were on horseback, both sweaty and heavily armoured, and their minds turned back and forth, but how could they come up with the best of both worlds?

Ruthless, Ah Tinghan was thinking that he would take the cavalry first, anyway, Dong Wenbing couldn't help himself, even if he was in front of the Great Khan, he was also meritorious. Just as he was about to give an order, he heard a sound from behind, and the two of them turned around to see that the foot soldiers of the brigade were rushing to this side, and the person who rode the horse first was Lu Wenhuan.

"The two commanders forgive their sins, and Wen Huan is late to lead the troops." Although the nominal official position is at the same level, Lu Wenhuan did not dare to be arrogant at all, dismounted and hugged his fists and saluted, and the two of them immediately glanced at each other, and the first thing that came to mind was that these people were going to share food again.

Nearly 30,000 new annexed troops slowly lined up in the back, but this new force made Dong Wenbing not know how to use it, and blamed himself for being full of confidence before he started, and sent out all the men and horses at once, so that there was no gap in the battle line at all, and now there is no way to replace them.

"Our cavalry is back!" A burst of Mongolian language sounded in the distance, Dong Wenbing only understood a rough idea, looked into the distance, and sure enough, a large area of smoke and dust rolled up above. Yan Che'er's 10,000-strong team is back, and he has another available soldier in his hand, Dong Wenbing has a glimmer of hope in his heart, so many people are in hand, it is better to break the enemy head-on, the Song army has been fighting at the same time for so long, he doesn't believe that they are all iron men.

As the sound of hooves got closer and closer, the banner gradually became clear, yes, it was Yan Che'er, who he had been looking forward to all night, and these cavalrymen still had some anxious looks on their faces. Dong Wenbing was moved, it doesn't matter, it's late, but it's good to come.

Seeing the position approaching him, Yan Che'er rode out, and the whip kept whipped all the time, and the speed became faster and faster. After a while, they came to the two of them, and he did not dismount, but turned on the back of the horse and pointed behind him with his whip, and the two of them did not know why, but they looked over, but there was only smoke and dust rushing to the sky, and they could not help but look at him suspiciously.

"The Song and Song brigades, with tens of thousands of people, are in pursuit!" Yan Che'er gasped and stammered a sentence, but the two of them were taken aback.

On the high platform behind the Song army's formation, Liu Yu looked at a feather arrow inserted not far from his feet, and he was caught off guard by riding and shooting just now, but the Tatar cavalry didn't know why he turned around and went back.

After lifting for a long time, Liu Yu's arm was already too tired, and when he saw that the front line was becoming stable, he simply carried it on his shoulder. At this moment, the walkie-talkie pinned to the belt suddenly screamed, Liu Yu threw the head to the soldiers, removed the flagpole and put it at his feet, took out the walkie-talkie and pressed the answer button, and heard a familiar voice coming out.

"Taishou, I am Li Shiyi, now on the high platform in the south of the city, the reinforcements of the Tartars have arrived, coming from the east of the city, all of them are foot soldiers, there are a lot of them, and the words are finished." In the east of the city, that is the camp of the new attached army, Liu Yu looked at the sky, after fighting for so long, the soldiers have done their best, is it necessary to let go of the gap and let them rush over.

"There are Tartar cavalry in the south of the city, about thousands, and they are finished." After a while, Li Shiyi came with the news again, hearing the news, Liu Yu sighed secretly, squatted down, supported the shoulders of his own soldiers, and planned to jump off the high platform like this.

"Taishou." One foot was hanging in the air, and he heard Li Shiyi's voice on the walkie-talkie again, so excited that he couldn't finish his words, Liu Yu withdrew his foot, and just squatted to talk to him.

"What's going on, make it clear, finish speaking." Liu Yu didn't know what the bad news was, so he said loudly angrily.

"The big flag, our big flag, the big flag of our reinforcements, our reinforcements have arrived" Li Shiyi shouted incoherently, startled, Liu Yu didn't care about being angry with him, quickly stood up, raised the telescope on his chest, and looked over from the high platform, the reinforcements could only come from the south of the city, but his lens was a piece of flying dust.

The smoke and dust are very high, Liu Yu is still not high enough, there is no way to see what is behind him, he waits patiently. Not long after, a big banner was picked out in the rolling dust, although after several efforts, it was impossible to see the font on it, but the system was undoubtedly owned by Song Jun.

"Okay, you Liu Ziqing, it turns out that you are here later, and you want to block the retreat of the Tartars here, and you dare to hide it from your own handsome, what should you be guilty of?" Li Tingzhi's hearty laughter came from his ears, but Liu Yu looked innocent, God testifies, this is really not what he did.
