Chapter 852. Play and bait (1).

Seeing Zhao Junchen's calm performance, Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo finally calmed down a little.
However, this calm lasted less than a quarter of an hour before it was shattered again.
Seeing that the casualties of the Han soldiers on the battlefield were getting heavier and heavier, and the defense line was gradually precarious, and the Mongol army could break through at any time, the two quickly lost their composure and became eager again.
"Lord Zhao, it's not okay to go on like this! The soldiers are about to run out of action! We have to find a way to turn the tide! ”
"Yes, Lord Chincha, what do you have in the future, or take it out quickly! If we still let the Mongols break through and escape after so many deaths and wounds, this operation will be worth the loss! ”
Zhao Junchen's expression was still calm, his eyes were fixed on the situation on the battlefield, and he said slowly without turning his head: "Two adults, you must be calm when you are facing a major event!" The front-line soldiers are still gritting their teeth and persevering, and they have not asked us for help, how can we mess up the battle first? Look closely! The Mongol coalition seems to be on the offensive, but the terrain here is low in the north and high in the south, and the roads are bumpy and rugged, which is not conducive to the cavalry running, and there are desperate blockages of the soldiers, their breakthrough speed has gradually slowed down, once they are caught in the melee and cannot move, the cavalry will lose their advantage, and they will become a live target for the infantry archers, and at that time, the situation will gradually reverse!
What's more, after a long march, the Mongol army has long been exhausted, and now it is only holding on with a fierce spirit, and there is no follow-up...... The battle on the north bank will soon be over, once our ambush on the north bank has wiped out the rear army of the Mongols, we can cross the Xiaochuan River and form a front and rear battle again, and our strength advantage can be brought into play again...... All in all, the difficulties are only temporary, and the situation on the battlefield is far from a critical juncture, so let's quietly observe! When the time is right, I'll naturally make a change! ”
After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo were helpless, so they had to force the eagerness in their hearts and continue to observe the changes in the situation on the battlefield with Zhao Junchen.
In fact, Zhao Junchen's judgment this time was correct, and the situation on the battlefield did develop according to Zhao Junchen's prediction.
Under the tense changes in the battle situation, before you know it, it is already noon, and this bloody battle has lasted for more than an hour!
After a long period of observation, Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo finally gradually noticed some signs of changes in the battle situation!
This breakthrough of the Mongol army seemed to be vigorous and unstoppable, and the cavalry repeatedly stormed the Ming defense line, causing a large number of casualties to the Ming army every time! At the same time, most of the Ming army was an infantry army, and they could only rely on their flesh and blood to resist the trampling of the Mongolian army's horses' hooves and sabre swings, and used their lives to fill the defensive line, as if they were at an absolute disadvantage.
However, if you look closely, you will find that the breakthrough of the Mongol army has only advanced two or three miles so far, but it is gradually tired, not as fierce as at the beginning, and the Ming army's defense line seems to be precarious, but under the successive soldiers and soldiers, it is still full of resilience!
Under the siege of the soldiers of the Ming army, the more the Mongolian army advanced to the south, the narrower the battlefield space became, and the Mongolian cavalry could not fight and charge at will as casually as at the beginning, and the casualties of the Mongolian cavalry gradually increased, and people continued to fall into the encirclement of the Ming army and be killed!
At the same time, the archers of the Ming army have finally begun to wield their might!
Of course, the Mongolian cavalry is good at horse archery, but the shooting distance of the horse bow is not as good as the longbow of the infantry after all, if the battlefield space is large, the Mongolian cavalry can also ride a horse to dodge, but now the battlefield space is gradually narrow, the Mongolian cavalry has become a live target for the infantry archers!
In the beginning, Ming soldiers often had to pay two or three times the price to kill a Mongol cavalryman, but by this time, the battle damage of both sides had gradually become even!
These signs all show that the battlefield situation has gradually changed, the soldiers of the Ming army have stabilized their positions, and the morale of the Mongolian cavalry has obviously shown signs of decay!
After discovering these signs, Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo finally really calmed down, thinking that their side had a great chance of winning.
At the same time, as Zhao Junchen's previous predictions came true one by one, Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo admired Zhao Junchen more and more, and felt that Zhao Junchen had a keen eye and commanded Ruo, although he was the same as them, he was quite an ancient general!
However, just when Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo were gradually relieved, Zhao Junchen, who had always been calm, gradually frowned, his expression became more and more solemn, and from time to time he would raise his eyes to look at the battlefield on the north bank of the Xiaochuan River, with a faint trace of anxiety in his eyes!
After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the casualties of the Ming army have gradually approached Zhao Junchen's psychological bottom line!
Although the detailed figures are not yet known, after a rough estimate, Zhao Junchen believes that the casualties of the Ming army have now exceeded seven or eight thousand!
You must know that the total number of troops deployed by Zhao Junchen on the south bank of the Xiaochuan River is only more than 20,000, and the casualties are close to forty percent!
In ancient times, the morale of the soldiers was generally not strong, and it was often the casualties of more than one achievement that would shake morale, and more than three achievements would lead to the collapse of the whole army!
On the battlefield today, the casualties of the Ming army have been close to forty percent, but they can still hold the front, which is already a miracle in ancient times, and I have to say that Zhao Junchen's various brainwashing methods are indeed effective!
However, the tenacity of the soldiers is certainly commendable, but it can also be seen that they are indeed close to the limit, and the casualties of the soldiers are too heavy, if this trend is followed, even if the Ming army wins in the end, it will be greatly damaged, and it will also affect Zhao Junchen's next plan!
At the same time, Zhao Junchen also underestimated the tenacity of the Mongolian army! The casualties of the Mongol army were also heavy, and their physical strength and morale had already reached their limit, but there were still no signs of collapse as expected!
Therefore, just when Wu Qifan, Zhou Bo and others gradually gained confidence, Zhao Junchen thought that the Mongolian army had the possibility of successfully breaking through!
"Why hasn't the war on the North Shore ended? The strength of the Mongols after the break was only more than 2,000 people, and the foreshadowing I arranged on the north bank was as much as 12,000, and the difference between the soldiers and horses on both sides was six times! It stands to reason that the ambush on the north bank should have ended the fighting and rushed to the south bank to support, so why didn't they move for a long time? What are Qian Bao and Liu Manniu doing! ”
While thinking in secret, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but look in the direction of the north bank of the Xiaochuan River again.
Because of the distance, Zhao Junchen couldn't see the details of the battlefield on the north bank, and could only vaguely see that the battle on the north bank of the Xiaochuan River was unexpectedly anxious!
"I don't know what happened to the war on the North Shore...... If the ambush troops on the north bank can't come to the south bank to support for a long time, then I will have to figure out a way by myself! ”
Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen secretly made a gesture to Zhao Dali behind him!
After hearing Zhao Dali's light cough response, Zhao Junchen suddenly said to Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo: "It seems that I still underestimated the tenacity of the Mongolian army after all, but I didn't expect that they have obviously reached the limit, but there is still no trend of collapse, and the reinforcements on the north bank have not yet arrived, it seems that I can only take out the backhand I prepared!" After all, the soldiers must not bear more casualties! ”
After hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo, who were concentrating on observing the situation on the battlefield, were stunned.
When the battle was stalemate before, Zhao Junchen had been quiet, but now that the battle situation gradually took over, Zhao Junchen was willing to take out a back hand.
Wu Qifan hurriedly asked, "But I don't know what kind of strange strategy you have prepared, Lord Qincha?" ”
Zhao Junchen's expression was calm, and he said slowly: "Ben Qincha is going to join the battlefield in person, so as to further boost the morale of the soldiers, and use himself as bait to attract the Mongol army to storm Yunluan Mountain!" And then with the help of the geographical advantages of Yunluan Mountain, the Mongolian army will be wiped out! ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen's statement, Wu Qifan and Zhou Bo were both shocked!
However, before the two of them could open their mouths to object, Zhao Dali, the leader of Zhao Junchen's guards, took the lead and shouted loudly: "How can your lord take the risk personally? That's not possible! ”
