Chapter 579: The Time to Advance and Retreat
About 300 horsemen fought in front of the two armies, and Yu Shifang had become a demon in the eyes of the Wuhuan knights after picking off twelve horsemen in a row.
And the green finches under Yu Shifang's seat gradually became tired, so that wherever Yu Shifang rushed, the Wuhuan knights gathered scattered to dodge and did not engage in battle.
Yu Shifang repeatedly disrupted the enemy cavalry group three times, and the knights of Beifu took the opportunity to cover up and kill to expand the results of the battle, and divided the manpower to rein in the knights who fell off their horses and were seriously injured, or who were killed.
The Wuhuan knight was also gradually running out of horsepower, circling and attacking, still holding on, waiting for new orders.
Xian Yufu did not give the order to withdraw and increase the troops, and these Wuhuan knights could only be hard to wear.
Tian Xin glanced back at Qipanling in the distance to the south, and saw that there was no new banner warning, indicating that the main force of the Wei army had not moved.
Seeing that Yu Shifang was tired, he resisted the urge to come forward to fight, and said: "I'm afraid that Shifang will lose the battle for a long time, Mingjin." ”
The drum carts on both sides of the front of the battle rumble and slow down the drum beat, this is already the third drum pass, and each drum is a 'drum replay', which is the most important time reference unit during the battle.
In other words, in the forward battle, Yu Shifang's more than 100 horsemen have been fighting for almost an hour.
As the drums gradually slowed down, the Beifu knights who were fighting in front of them gradually converged, clustering around Yu Shifang, all panting, and the Wuhuan knights on the opposite side also gathered together, although they didn't dare to take the initiative to rush again, they still had a tenacious will.
The drums stopped, and the gold began to sound in front of the Beifu formation...... Mingjin is a gradual change, a process that needs to be adapted and adjusted, and if anyone dares to suddenly Mingjin, they deserve to be hacked to death.
However, the drums of the Wuhuan knight array were still ringing, and nearly two hundred Wuhuan knights did not dare to retreat, and they dared to watch on the spot, so they had to form a group behind the Beifu knights...... The wolf, which seems to be following the butcher, seems to be looking for a fighter.
Seeing that two hundred-person teams rushed out at both ends of the Beifu array to meet Yu Shifang, the Wuhuan knight was also a little unsatisfied, and he was reluctant to retreat.
Yu Shifang turned over and dismounted, sweat on his face. After taking two sips of the warm water handed over, he poured it on his face before he raised his hand to pull off the helmet strap and took off the helmet, and the sweat-absorbing and cushioned turban wrapped around his head was completely wet.
Although it was very uncomfortable, he still endured it and didn't take it off, just caught the towel to wipe his sweat, and walked under the green cover umbrella: "Lord, Wuhuan Jingqi is more sharp and brave, not to be underestimated." ”
The elite is not terrible, what is terrible is the arrogance and courage of a tendon.
"Well, I can't figure out Xian Yufu and Wu Qian's thoughts now."
Tian Xin was still a little puzzled, and said to the tired Yu Shifang: "Go and change your armor and rest well." This battle may have to be fought until dusk. ”
"Yes."
Yu Shifang clenched his fists and entered the gap passage with the other returning knights, and a curtain had been set up behind the formation to shield the wind and sand, and it was only here that Yu Shifang and the others began to disarm.
There is no extra water, so I can only wash my face and hands, and wipe the blood stains in my hair and neck if I can wipe them clean.
Tian Xin was a little unsure of Wu Qian's thoughts and Xian Yufu's thoughts, the enemy was different from himself; You can't hold your enemies to the test of what you do...... It's a bit hard for the enemy.
Logically speaking, if Wu Zhen had no other secret and reliable backhand, then Wu Zhen should now concentrate all his forces and launch a decisive battle against himself before Lu Yi seized Lantian County in a roundabout way and cut off the retreat of the main force of the Wei army.
In this way, Wu Zhen has some winning rate; He is a defender, and he can somewhat offset the terrain disadvantage, and he can also offset Wei Qi's impact advantage to a certain extent.
However, Wu Zhen's main cavalry gathered in the area of Taibai Temple and did not react...... Are you just waiting to bump into it?
Why?
Seven or eight miles of road is said to be far away, but it is not close to it, why do you want to go to the area of Taibai Temple to fight Wu Zhen?
With Wu Qian's means, he will definitely not let himself march freely and easily, and there will be a series of skirmishes along the way to delay himself and do exhausting things.
So there is no need for him to move, just wait here, and wait for Lu Yi to lead other troops to cut off the Wei army's retreat...... The way back is cut off, and it is attacked by its own north and south, and the Wei army's will to fight will be loosened at that time, and it can be solved in the palm of your hand.
This battle is more special, the goal is not the head of Wu Zhen, nor the defeat of Wu Zhen's army, but to completely annihilate and swallow the main force of the Wei cavalry in the Guanlong area.
Swallow this main cavalry, and when a series of battles break out in the future, there is no need for such calculations, just attack it directly.
As long as the battle is won, there will be 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry to chase and intercept it...... How much can the other party run away?
Tian Xin was thinking and puzzled here, and he didn't know what Wu Zhen was thinking.
Wu Zhen was also a little unsure, and the rapid deterioration of the battle situation was far beyond his expectations.
It turned out that the worst plan had been made, and the entire Wang Zhong Eastern Front Army was sacrificed to attract the Beifu soldiers to cross the river, and the Beifu soldiers had to defeat the Eastern Front Army before noon at the earliest.
After the defeat, it is necessary to pursue...... Even if you don't pursue, you will be tired from a long battle, and you will press the main cavalry army that is waiting for work.
In terms of the excellent terrain on the north bank of Bashui, as long as one of the Beifu soldiers is defeated, then under the chain reaction, it is the best cemetery for the Beifu soldiers.
However, the various units of the Eastern Front Army actually fought against each other and rebelled, Wang Zhong was surrounded, and Zhang Xiong and Xian Yufu retreated, resulting in the naturalized Qiang being coerced and following the mutiny.
In the blink of an eye, the Eastern Front Army became the servant army of the Beifu soldiers.
Drain the physical strength of Beifu?
The preconditions for this decisive battle were not reached at all, and the Beifu soldiers divided their troops instead, some of them stuck and stared at themselves, and some of them went to the rear in a roundabout way.
Now the situation is ...... Go forward to fight Tian Xin, it is possible to win, and if you lose, you will lose completely; The Beifu soldiers achieved such a big victory, and the two states of Yongliang naturally surrendered.
But if you retreat with the main cavalry now, then you can continue to fight in Guanzhong and Liangzhou, so that Beifu will not get any decent benefits.
Especially the cavalry in his own hands, this is what makes Beifu greedy, and this cavalry falls into the hands of Beifu, which is far-reaching for Hebei.
Tian Xin, who has always liked to break into formation, did not trigger, and specially sent Lu Yi to make a roundabout, which is a very risky thing...... For the sake of it, isn't it the main cavalry in his own hands?
So now it's really time to evacuate quickly and turn this decisive battle into a bad fight.
Even if there is a chicken feather, which makes people laugh, it can't make Tian Xin like a tiger.
I really can't imagine that Beifu has 20,000 or 30,000 elite horsemen, and what kind of strategic pressure it will form on Hebei.
Besides, the successive rebellions of the Qiangqi tribes have provided a very bad example for the other main forces of the Southern Xiongnu and the Hexi Zhuhu.
Now the real fighting spirit of the armies of the various ministries ...... Don't expect too much.
Just when Wu Zhen hesitated, the Wuhuan knight five miles away from him moved, gradually speeding up, and like a tide, he charged like a Beifu soldier array in the south.
The black pressure people, the black pressure horses, and the gradually rising dust made Wu Zhen unable to see the effect of the charge in the distance for a while.
The effect is not important, the important thing is that there is finally a force willing to listen to his arrangement and go to the decisive charge!
This shows that Xian Yufu still trusts his own tactics, and it shows that he did not raise these five thousand Wuhuan knights in vain!
The Wuhuan knights who were responsible for attacking first, luring the enemy, and deceiving the defeat launched a charge, so what about the Wujie knights who were responsible for opening up, responding to Wang Zhong, and disrupting the Qiangdi rebels?
Wu Zhen turned his head to look, staring at it, four miles away, the Wujie knight was towering and motionless, and he actually sat back and watched the Wuhuan knight advance alone!
"Wenxin!"
He shouted, angry, and handed his Shang Fang sword to Xicao Peng Guo Chen: "Go and supervise the battle, urge Biqiu Xing to send troops to attack!" ”
The actions of the Wuhuan knight were tantamount to a heart booster, which made Wu Zhen excited, and Guo Chen grabbed Shang Fang's sword and nodded heavily.
Wu Zhen instructed: "Bring more people!" ”
