Chapter 589: Expanding the Results
If the 50,000 soldiers and horses do not leave, the losses will be even greater.
Of course Twilight knew, and with a sigh, she immediately gave the order to retreat.
"Okay, retreat."
The outcome of the battle was no longer predictable, and the enemy's soldiers and horses had already been in ambush, and the key was the numerical advantage, and it was even more advantageous.
On this one path, in addition to advancing is retreating.
Twilight didn't want to be buried here with his people, so he reluctantly chose to retreat, every time he encountered the vanguard, he was defeated, and the current situation was to minimize the loss.
Now that the losses were unpredictable, the losses were unpredictable, so Yi Du let a few commanders he trusted lead 3,000 cavalry to cover the retreat of the main army.
After the pad means that there is no return.
Li Jing had long thought that the enemy would run, and it would be a fool if they didn't run in this kind of battle situation, so they had already arranged their backhand, and it was not easy for 100,000 soldiers and horses to quickly eat so many people for a while.
Don't look at twice as many soldiers and horses, the enemy on the battlefield is not vegetables in the field, not that they can be picked with a little effort, they will resist.
The battle is like this, and it is not who is better than anyone who wants to keep these people behind, but who can drag whom, as long as it can be held back, anything can happen.
The vanguard of 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the 50,000 cavalry who wanted to surround the enemy were really suffering, as long as the enemy kept rushing along a road, as long as there were not enough people to surround it, they could not defend.
It was in anticipation of this that Li Jing had already sent people to make preparations, and just when the enemy was retreating, he was bent on fleeing for his life, and the vanguard ambush people rushed out of the ambush.
Yi Du and the others were all caught off guard, they never thought that they had been calculated since they entered this area, and they had not exposed the people who were ambushed on both sides for a long time, just waiting for this time.
If the vanguard had shown up earlier, it would probably be fighting Twilight's men, as the battle would have become more intense with the target.
Now they only want to escape, where are they still thinking about fighting, and as soon as their morale relaxes, they suddenly face the enemy, and their instinct is not to resist or fear.
They will think that this time they are in a catastrophe, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced when they are discouraged.
As a result, as Li Jing expected, the people led by Yi Du were very flustered in the face of the sudden attack, flying around like headless flies, but unfortunately they only had one way.
"Beat the drums, stop them!" Li Jing gave orders on the other side, and the drummers began to change the rhythm of the drums, which were their usual means of communication, eliminating the shortcoming of the need to read the flag language.
With the sound of drums, you can command the soldiers and horses to fight, make clear the meaning of the generals, and the soldiers can react quickly, and now the drum beat is the command.
The vanguard soldiers who blocked the back road all launched a fierce attack, and blocking these people was not their main task, because it was really possible to block them, and depending on the terrain, it would be possible to sacrifice many people if they wanted to leave these 50,000 people behind.
It can be said that if all these enemies are eliminated in this battle, there must be preparations for injuring 10,000 enemies and losing 800 of themselves.
The generals accepted the order, no matter how many casualties they had, as long as they achieved their goal and succeeded, the final credit was indispensable, and the emperor didn't care how many casualties the soldiers had, they only needed one result.
Being able to win, acquire land, or hold on to the land will increase their prestige and achievements.
The soldiers of the vanguard are not good, Li Jing knows very well that if he does this, the soldiers will definitely use their lives to leave the enemy behind, even if he succeeds, he will go back to receive not credit but death.
He hasn't followed Li De for a long time, but he knows very well that Li De is definitely not a soft-hearted person.
Of course, the reason for not giving such an order is also because if the combat effectiveness of the vanguard can be retained, the soldier is more valuable than lost.
Li Jing knew very well that from the beginning, the soldiers and horses who were ambushed and surrounded in the back had only one purpose, not to stop the enemy, but to drag the other party as much as possible and destroy the enemy's living forces.
Twilight was a little flustered, but the situation had already appeared and there was no way for him to change, now he had no choice but to give the order to charge, and now it was not a matter of how many people would be left, but how many of them would be able to escape.
Yi Du knew that maybe today was his crisis, and it was really hard to say whether he could get through the past, and the main general's desire to survive made him re-lead the generals around him.
"Follow me out!"
The Tiele cavalry began to charge, they were now all in ruins, and the three thousand cavalry behind them had all been lost, and the situation was already very critical.
The Tiele cavalry is not an ordinary cavalry, they have the riding skills that are not lost to the Turks, and they have an unyielding fighting spirit, and the main general has regained his fighting spirit, and has successively made this trapped army of soldiers and horses have the desire to survive.
The power of the group is terrifying, and when they all have a belief in a goal, they are not afraid of death, and what else can be overcome.
Li Jing watched the changes in the railway cavalry from behind, from the sloppy just now to the concentrated breakthrough, he knew that they were unstoppable, and if they fought hard in the current terrain, the vanguard would definitely be greatly impacted.
"Beat the drums!" Li Jing saw the enemy's intentions and immediately issued a new order.
In the confusion, the sound of the drums changed again, and the vanguard blood surged, but they reacted immediately when they heard the drumbeat, and the people behind had to answer the people in front.
Those in charge of containment cannot retreat, but they can rally and charge on the other side of the enemy.
It is thought that the strongest forces gathered will attack the enemy's less crowded side, and letting the fleeing enemy's main force continue to flee is tantamount to making way out, and in addition, this can avoid excessive casualties, and the vanguard responsible for blocking the road can expand the results of the battle by charging in this way.
"Charge, rush out!" Twilight shouted.
They were now like frightened birds who would notice the changes in the vanguard, and they wished they could break out of the encirclement so quickly that even the most alert Twilight lost his judgment in such a situation.
If the trapped person is replaced by Li Jing, he will definitely notice this, so he will choose to go head-to-head with the besieged enemy, because even if they lose, they can play their due value.
In addition, if the local commander just doesn't want them to consume too many soldiers and horses, then they may change their minds and retreat directly.
In this way, the belief in dying can finally be exchanged for life.
If Yi Du could detect this and let the soldiers and horses directly meet the enemy head-on, then Li Jing would definitely change his strategy as soon as possible and let the soldiers and horses pass smoothly.
But in the absence of ifs, the current battle situation is the reality that Yi Twilight has not noticed, and now the opportunity has been lost, only the vanguard has converged with the soldiers and horses behind.
