Chapter 368: Fierce Battle Mengkeng (4) (3rd Update)
At this time, Yang Shihou saw a Shatuo general wearing fine armor and many personal soldiers around him rushing over, thinking about the identity of the other party for a while, and suddenly shouted.
"It's Shatuo's little Li Chenghe?"
Known as Shatuo Xiaoer, Li Chengsi was extremely annoyed and said angrily, "This will be Li Chengsi, the assassin of Fenzhou, who is coming, Ben will not kill the nameless rats!" ”
"It turned out to be really you, God treats me well. Shatuo's memory is so bad? Forgot how the general killed several of your generals in front of the battle before? ”
"It's you!"
Before, Li Chengsi naturally couldn't see Yang Shihou's appearance, but as soon as the other party said this, he remembered. The combination of new hatred and old hatred made him want to kill this arrogant guy under the horse now, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart.
"Haha, Shatuo Xiao'er, look behind you, your allies have all run away, obediently get off your horse and surrender!"
Li Chengsi was startled, and hurriedly turned around, and saw that Wang Qian had already begun to retreat with the Jinzhou soldiers, and behind him were thousands of forbidden army cavalry chasing after him.
Thinking of this, Li Chengsi was so angry that before he could scold, a whistling voice came from behind him, "Shatuo child, look at the gun!" ”
An iron spear, with a whistling sound, drew a shocking arc in the air, Li Chengsi hurriedly raised the lance in his hand, which was able to block the attack of this iron spear, and said angrily, "Despicable villain, actually sneak attack." ”
Yang Shihou smiled and said, "This is called a surprise, this is a battlefield, look at the gun!" ”
Hearing the last shout, Li Chengsi subconsciously raised his spear, but he was disappointed, and when he saw the shadow of a gun, he saw Yang Shihou's evil smile, and then realized that he had been tricked.
"Damn it, take your life!"
The chapter in Li Chengsi's hand has begun to be messed up, and his strength is not as good as Yang Shihou, in less than two rounds, Li Chengsi only felt a shock from the tiger's mouth, and his hand was in the air, and the long lance was picked up, fell a zhang away, and was inserted straight into the ground.
Li Chengsi, who had no weapons, hurriedly pulled out the horizontal knife on the horse's back, but it was an inch long and an inch strong, and then the horizontal knife was also picked up, and the whole was smashed several times by Yang Shihou's big iron spear, spitting blood, and the whole person was thrown off the horse like a kite with a broken string and fell to the ground a zhang away.
Yang Shihou was about to make up for a thousand shots and end the other party's life, when more than ten cavalrymen next to him suddenly killed.
Yang Shihou stabbed left and right, but these more than ten cavalrymen were not afraid of death and blocked Yang Shihou's offensive, while other personal soldiers took the opportunity to save Li Chengsi on the horse.
After he killed more than a dozen cavalrymen in front of him with the cooperation of his subordinates, where was Li Chengsi's figure, he was immediately furious.
And the Shatuo army on the battlefield also suffered a great decline in morale because of the injury of Lee Seung-hei's fall from his horse and the escape of the Jinju soldiers, and they did not continue to fight at all.
At the same time as Li Chengsi fled, the battlefield sounded the sound of a horn of 'woo'.
The Shatuo army took the initiative to retreat!
"The general will order, the right Shence army light cavalry pursuit, and the other troops clean up the battlefield!"
Although Li Chengsi gave the order to retreat before fleeing, how could the Shatuo cavalry, who were fighting with the forbidden army, say that they could retreat if they retreated, and their morale plummeted, and the Right Shence Army directly pursued and killed twenty miles away before stopping, killing corpses all over the field along the way, and blood stained the entire land.
In this battle, the cavalry of Hedong and Jinju totaled 12,000 people, but they were finally defeated.
The Jinju soldiers suffered little losses and fled back with nearly 2,000 people, but due to the early withdrawal of the Jinju soldiers from the battlefield, the Hedong army was besieged by the forbidden army.
Of the 8,000 Hedong troops, less than 1,000 people fled back, of which 3,000 elite Shatuo cavalry only fled back less than 300 people, which can be described as a heavy loss.
Li Chengsi originally wanted to take advantage of Mengkeng's geographical advantages to take the imperial army by surprise and kill the prestige of the imperial army.
But I didn't expect that stealing chickens would not make rice, and the imperial army actually had two big killing weapons, artillery and heavy cavalry, which directly made the elite Shatuo cavalry collapse in Mengkeng.
The 12,000 cavalry only returned less than 3,000 people, and even if the Shatuo army had a great cause, it could not withstand such losses.
You must know that Li Ke used the 30,000 elite Shatuo cavalry placed on the side of the imperial army to give 5,000 to Li Chengsi and Xue Zhiqin, but he didn't expect to lose 3,000 people in the first battle of Mengkeng.
Although Xue Zhiqin still had more than 20,000 foot cavalry in his hands, the loss of such a large amount as soon as the battle started was a big blow to morale.
。。。。。。
"Your Majesty, the front line is urgent, the imperial army won a great victory in the first battle, killing 8,000 cavalry in Hedong and Jinzhou, capturing more than 1,000 people, and the enemy army has withdrawn to Jinzhou City in disarray."
"What?"
Li Ye, who had just arrived in Wenxi County, couldn't help but stand up when he heard the report from the front line, and then stepped forward to take the report in person, and when he saw the content on it, the whole person couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, very good, Liu Kui really didn't disappoint me, he won the first battle, and those who have meritorious service will record this merit, and he will be rewarded when the class teacher returns to the court."
"Yes!"
Pei Rong's report only briefly stated the result, but Liu Kui wrote in detail in this report.
Including the surprise of the god machine cannon and the ability of the heavy cavalry to charge into battle, a detailed explanation was made.
These things are naturally useful, and it can be proved from this report that the effect of the magic cannon is indeed good, and the heavy cavalry also has its necessity.
In particular, the current dispatch of the Shenji Gun is more of a test of actual combat and a reference for the Ordnance Supervision to improve the performance of the artillery.
"Your Majesty, the minister thought that he should take advantage of the victory to pursue and take Jinju." Pei Rong suggested.
"Li Aiqing is right, he ordered the infantry of the Left Yulin Army and the Right Shence Army to follow as soon as possible." Li Ye nodded.
"Your Majesty, the minister thought that he should be careful to guard against Zhaoyi's Ge Congzhou." Li Yingxu on the side said suddenly, looking a little worried.
"What is Li Aiqing worried about?"
"Your Majesty, according to the reports that have come in the past few days, the army led by Ge Congzhou did not launch an attack on Zezhou and Luzhou, but confronted the troops under Kang Junli, Li Hanzhi and others.
The minister suspected that Zhu Wen did not want to see the imperial court pacify Hedong, and it was very likely that he would withdraw his troops at a critical moment. In this way, our flanks and back roads may be cut off by Zhaoyi's Kang Junli, Li Hanzhi and others. ”
Li Ye's expression was a little solemn, thinking of Zhu Wen's cunning and cunning, he nodded, "Li Aiqing's worries are somewhat reasonable. King Yan! ”
"The minister is here!"
Li Jiepi, the king of Yan wearing armor on the side, hurriedly stood up and bent down in front of Li Ye.
"You also heard what Li Aiqing said just now. Your Right Shenwu Army, don't follow the army for the time being, the main force is stationed in Jiangzhou, and then send cavalry to guard Zezhou, Luzhou and Qinzhou, and attack and harass Zhaoyi Kangjun's troops appropriately, and remind Zhu Wen by the way. Li Ye commanded.
"Obey the order!"
Li Jiepi hugged his fists and took his life.
And when the imperial court was cheering for the victory of Mengkeng, and in Jinju, when the embarrassed Li Chengsi, Wang Qian and others fled back to Jinzhou, when they saw that more than 10,000 cavalry only came back with such a small number of people, Jinzhou directly fried the pot.
