Chapter 645: Danyang Chaos (Part II)

The enemy's army was dispersed, which made the Qingzhou army's fighting spirit stronger. In the shouts, everyone pounced on Fang La's army as fiercely as tigers on the mountain, constantly reaping the lives of the enemy soldiers who had collapsed, and in just a short moment, hundreds of enemy soldiers had been killed, and the remaining people were even more frightened, eager to give birth to two more legs, and quickly ran towards the depths of the darkness.

Although some of these routs ran up the mountain, and some ran wildly along the official road, when it came to running speed, they were still not as good as being urged by Sun Tu to run every day.

If the Qingzhou army is really allowed to continue to pursue, I am afraid that this half of the elite of the Fangla army will be completely annihilated. But at this moment, the horn sounded again, but the Qingzhou army, which had been killed, was stunned, and then quickly retracted, no longer chasing the enemy, but retreated. Because they have already discerned, this clarion call is for them to withdraw their troops and return to the Chinese army.

If it were an ordinary army, it would not be so easy to gather back the scattered soldiers and horses in the process of chasing the dead and chasing the north, but the Qingzhou army was well-trained, and it only took a command to be like an arm, and after a short meal, thousands of people had already assembled again, regardless of the fleeing group of defeated troops, and aimed at Danyang City in front.

At this time, all the generals knew why the Chinese army would order the collection of troops, not because they had to follow the way of the art of war, but because there were more important things waiting for them to do, Danyang City had fallen into the hands of the enemy, and it could not be delayed any longer.

Sun Tu didn't expect the defenders in the city to be so incompetent, obviously the troops were larger, they were fighting at home, and they led the army outside the city to help at any time, but they were still so defeated by the enemy, and they lost the entire city. In the faint morning light, he could even see countless officers and soldiers escaping from each gate like lost dogs, and the embarrassed appearance was really unbearable to look at.

"Fight into Danyang and retake the city!" Sun Tu looked around for a while, and after confirming that the battle just now only slightly damaged the soldiers and horses under his command, he immediately pointed his gun at the county town in front of him, which was still on fire, and before the words fell, he had already urged the horse to rush out.

With the charge of his pioneer, the other Qingzhou troops also shouted and rushed forward. And this time, the Qingzhou army no longer had any reservations, and the hundreds of cavalry who had been guarding Sun Tu before and had never participated in the battle had also urged their horses to follow closely, and quickly swept three or four miles like an arrow shooting at the enemy, and rushed straight to the south gate of Danyang, which was still wide open.

At this time, there was still a team stationed there at the south gate, which was the internal response of the Fang La army who had opened the city gate with a plan before. They did not close the gates because it was the intention that their comrades from outside would retreat into the city in time. But what was waiting for was not a robe, but a wolf-like Qingzhou army. When they found out that something was wrong and hurriedly wanted to close the city gate, Sun Tu had already galloped in with hundreds of cavalry.

In the distance, when he saw several enemy soldiers trying to push the city gate, Sun Tu, who was still more than a stone's throw away from the city gate, had already stepped on his feet, his body bowed forward slightly, and at the same time he held a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand.

The man could hear the movement, but before he could dodge, the arrow had pierced through his chest, causing him to stagger backwards, and then with a scream, he had fallen in a pool of blood. In the panicked cries of others, Sun Tu even fired arrows in a row, almost every arrow could hit an enemy, and he actually relied on his own strength to delay the enemy's action of closing the door.

It only took a moment to drag on, and the cavalry in the rear finally narrowed the distance with the city gate, and then without Sun Tu giving any more orders, the rain of arrows in the sky had already rushed straight away like flying locusts, and all the dozens of enemies in front of the city gate were shot into hedgehogs, and this Danyang City could no longer be closed.

Seeing that Sun Tu led the crowd to slaughter fiercely, the other more than 200 Nei Ying still gritted their teeth and gathered in front of the city gate, and at the same time, they repeated their old tricks to drag Mo Jingyao, who was already frightened to the face like dirt, his feet were weak, and he could only collapse on the ground to the front again, and shouted loudly: "This is Mo Jingyao, the guard general in the city, and Zhu Mian's henchman, if you dare to step forward, we will ......."

Before the threatening words were finished, another rain of arrows flew into the air, instantly nailing dozens of soldiers, including Mo Jingyao. Mo Tuanlian's eyes widened even more, and his face was full of pain and disbelief, he really couldn't bat an eye.

At the moment when the enemy was shocked, Sun Tu had already rushed into the city gate first, and the spear in his hand came out of the hole like a spiritual snake, and with the momentum, it directly pierced the body of an enemy standing in front of him. The horse's speed was not reduced, so he directly crashed into several people and galloped in.

Although the speed of the other cavalry behind him was not as fast as his, the ferocity was not bad at all, and with the swing of swords and guns, they had also smashed into the enemy's formation, killing the Fang La army that had just reacted and wanted to resist like chopping melons and vegetables, and then galloped along the straight streets towards the center of the city.

At this time, the strong advantage of the cavalry in the upper infantry was finally reflected. Although the strength of the two sides was equal at this time, in the face of the powerful impact of the cavalry, the Fang La army, which did not have a bow and crossbow to suppress the formation and failed to form a large spear array, was completely vulnerable, and could not even resist for a while, and was scattered in an instant.

And their tragedy has not yet ended, and they have not yet recovered from the panic just now, and the main force of the Qingzhou Army in the rear rushed in. Soon, they were engulfed in the tide of the Qingzhou Army. Except for a few who quickly abandoned their weapons and surrendered, they were all killed.

And the main force of the Qingzhou Army did not make any stop after easily killing them, and followed Sun Tu's footsteps and rushed towards the city. Ahead, there are still strong enemies waiting for them, but they can't be delayed, let Sun Chan control them to fight alone.

Among them, the most emotional and anxious are Yue Fei and other Sun Tu's personal guards. The Great Song Dynasty lacked horses, and when it was put in the Shandong army, the situation was also average, and the Qingzhou army relied on the efforts of Huangfuduan and Duan Jingzhu to create a cavalry team of more than 500 people, but obviously these Sun Tu soldiers did not belong to the cavalry team, and could only run on their feet.

And Sun Tu led the army to fight and rush violently, but they were so anxious that they could only rush forward with all their might, hoping to catch up with their own general as soon as possible and protect him. In addition to Jiaoxin, Yue Fei's respect for Sun Tu has reached a new height, because it is not until today that he really understands how strong and good this Qingzhou army built by Sun Tu is.

The rebel army, which was able to quickly break through and occupy Danyang City with only half an army, was far from being the opponent of the Qingzhou army. Compared with what he Yue Fei had heard in the past, the officials and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty that he had seen were no different from the rabble. It's no wonder that Sun Zhan dared to attack the Gaoyou military camp with hundreds of people in Jinling before, and judging from this combat strength, they retained half of their strength in the battle that day.

As soon as he thought that he would fight side by side with these brothers in the future to defend his family and country, Yue Fei only felt a burst of enthusiasm, and his running speed was several points faster than before, and he soon killed with a group of comrades in front of that row of warehouses, and then saw that his cavalry was attacking the enemy's defensive line, but was finally blocked by the enemy.

Sun Tu didn't expect that this smaller number of anti-army combat forces would far exceed the enemy outside the city, and the first wave of his offensive was actually blocked by the enemy, although he also made some gains, but the enemy's position quickly stabilized, and relied on the advantage of troops to counterattack, forcing him to lead the cavalry to retreat first and open the distance.

It's a pity that after this series of battles, the bows and arrows equipped by these hundreds of cavalry have been almost exhausted, and they have exhausted their arrows when they rushed into the city gate just now, otherwise, they can suppress the enemy's counterattack at this time.

Looking at the enemy soldiers who were shouting and fighting back, Sun Tu shouted: "Tiger and leopard ride, kill the enemy!" ”

"Kill!" When the cavalry was inspired, they roared angrily, urging their horses to rush forward. Even if the enemy army is outnumbered, they are fearless.

It's just that once the cavalry's momentum is blocked, their advantage over the infantry is also discounted, and they obviously can't really grasp the initiative by relying only on their condescending strengths, especially when the enemy's strength is several times that of their own, this battle is even more difficult.

The Fang La army on the opposite side was also red-eyed at this time, and seeing this Song army enter Danyang, it meant that their robes had been defeated. And once it fails, the damage will be too great. Many of the soldiers of this rebel army, which was composed entirely of the people of Jiangnan, were fathers and sons, and when they thought that their relatives were killed by the officials and soldiers in front of them, they were naturally furious, and they also broke out with a strong fighting spirit.

So, just in front of this warehouse, a fire fight quickly began, and in the sound of fighting, people kept falling, and even those carefully trained cavalry were knocked off their horses by the enemy one by one......

Seeing this, Sun Tu also felt blood dripping in his heart, these cavalry are not so easy to train, and one less will reduce one of their strength. When he found that he could no longer break the enemy by rushing alone, he finally gritted his teeth and made the wisest choice: "The whole army retreats!" "It is useless to attack again, it is better to wait for the arrival of the main force in the rear and then make plans.

It may be difficult for the cavalry to rush forward, but it is convenient to quickly get out of the battlefield, so soon, they quickly opened the distance with the enemy under the leadership of Sun Tu, but after this battle, there were still hundreds of people who fell off their horses and died, which can be regarded as heavy casualties.

Of course, the casualties of Fang La's army were heavier, and they paid a full price of three or four hundred people.

At this time, the main force of the Qingzhou Army in the rear finally arrived, and a round of red sun finally rose in the eastern sky.

The sun shines on the earth, reflecting the red of Danyang County, where the beacon is full of fires and corpses bleeding everywhere......
