Text Chapter 131 Vertical and Horizontal 9
Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi finally converged, the two saw each other's injuries, they couldn't help laughing, and looked around the battlefield in front of them hand in hand, after a bloody battle, Meng Qing had nearly 3,000 men and horses, and in the end he just fled nearly a thousand people, and the rest were either dead or captured.
Tang Wuwei's charge and battle on his flank were also killed and wounded by the Jing'an army, and it can be said that the Yuan army's attack on the Jing'an army's side was a complete failure.
The men and horses of all units of the Jing'an Army fought here for more than an hour, the soldiers were covered in blood, and the largest proportion of casualties was the cavalry of the Jing'an Army, which originally had more than 400 horsemen, but now there are only 150 people left, almost all of them are wounded, and the horses are too tired to fight again. Ma Rulong's spearmen originally numbered 600 people, but now there are only more than 300 left, mainly created by Tang Wuwei.
As for Huang Er, Luo Cheng, and Hou Ying, there are barely less than half of them.
"Brother Shi, now we have to work harder to make a breakthrough in the middle as soon as possible, it depends on the situation, the right wing of our army can no longer support it!" Yu Zhilong listened to the sound of fighting in the middle and said worriedly.
"No! I will first lead Qian Zheng, Ji Xiancheng and other troops to support King Shuntian, and the general can gather and rectify the soldiers first, and then decide after a short rest here! ”
"Brother Shi has been injured, it is difficult to continue fighting, and it is advisable to take a break!" Yu Zhilong thought for a while, "Ling Ji Xiancheng, Qian Zheng immediately straightened out the people, led by Captain Ji, and quickly supported the middle lane!" "A guard immediately ordered to go. Ji Xiancheng and Qian Zheng's department were less damaged, and the post-war system was still complete, so Yu Zhilong immediately organized them and went to support Liu Zhengfeng first.
"Summoning Ma Rulong over!" Yu Zhilong then commanded.
The cavalry of the Jing'an Army has been basically disabled in continuous battles, and now it is not suitable to fight again due to fatigue and fatigue, and most of the noble subordinates are heavy personnel, and they are negligent in drills, so they can only respond to emergencies and let them charge into battle, Yu Zhilong is not at ease. Besides, now that the final victory or defeat is not scored, Yu Zhilong still wants to keep them as the final preparation.
After a while, Ma Rulong ran over in a hurry, this guy's clothes and armor were almost completely undone, shirtless, and there were several cloth bands wrapped around his shoulders and back, which were oozing with blood stains.
"Captain Ma, can your department still fight now?" Yu Zhilong glanced him up and down, and asked.
"By the general's orders alone!" Ma Rulong tilted his head, stood with his legs crossed, raised his right hand into a fist, and thumped his chest. With the cooperation of Mingxiong's department, although his troops suffered heavy casualties, they resisted the fierce charge of more than 1,000 Tang Wuwei, outflanked their rear, killed and injured hundreds of Yuan cavalry, and finally killed the Meng volunteers to the point of blood and collapsed.
"Immediately organize your department, follow Captain Ji and Captain Qian, go to support the middle of our army, pay attention to the possible counterattack of the Tartar cavalry, protect the flank of our army, and never give the Tartar cavalry a chance!"
Yu Zhilong was worried that the remnants of Tang Wuwei might counterattack the middle lane, and now his various means of dealing with Yuanqi were almost exhausted, so he could only rely on Ma Rulong's department.
"The general puts a hundred hearts! As long as the old horse is here, the Tartar will succeed! Ma Rulong saluted and ran back with a smoke.
Tong Kui followed Yu Zhilong, and Zhao Shi was on standby.
Meng Liu looked at Yu Zhilong, Zhao Shi and the others in front of him, and gently stabbed Meng Qi. Several children of the Meng family were nervously waiting for Meng Qi's decision. At this time, they were only fifty steps away from Yu Zhilong and the others.
Meng Qi held the hilt of the knife tightly, and when he saw Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi, there were at least a dozen guards around him, and after estimating the distance and the comparison of manpower, he finally shook his head and gave up the intention of approaching the chaotic army and then attacking and assassinating.
Meng Qi and the others are not afraid of death, but if there is no possibility of success, they just sacrifice their own lives in vain to make a rash move.
Unwillingly, not only did the news not be sent out this time, but these two big thief chiefs didn't have a chance to get rid of them, and they lost this opportunity, and they don't know when to wait for the next time!
Meng Qi and the others hated it so much, they witnessed the bloody battle and defeat of the Meng rebels, and looked at the nearly 1,000 volunteer soldiers captured on the battlefield, and several people felt bitter in their hearts.
This battle was lost so badly! If it was said that the battle in the mountain road was lost unprepared and defeated by the terrain, today it is a dignified and upright battle between the two armies, and there is also the strong help of more than a thousand Tang Wuwei, once upon a time, the combat power of these thief armies was so strong!
Meng Qi and the others had seen how the Jing'an Army drilled, and they were quite familiar with the intensity and effect of the training, and in all fairness, these drills were basically similar to Meng Qing's training, so Meng Qi and the others didn't care much. After all, there is only a small amount of training time before and after about 20 days, how far can it be practiced? However, seeing that the morale of the top and bottom of the army was strong and the desire to fight was strong, Meng Qi, Mengliu and others were still faintly uneasy, so they sent Meng Wu to Yidu City to report the news.
Looking at the blank Meng army captives who were brought down by his side, among them were familiar and acquaintances, Meng Qi couldn't bear to look at them anymore. These heavy soldiers were ordered by Yu Zhilong to stop here, and Meng Qi and the others did not dare to go out at will. Although there are not many military regulations in the Jing'an Army, obeying the command in all actions is the highest rule in the army. Violators of military law are waiting!
If you move without an order, on the battlefield, you can be considered a capital crime!
Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi briefly talked a few words, a personal guard handed over a water bladder, after Yu Zhilong opened it, he drank a few big sips, then slowed down, and then drank slowly, and soon drank most of it. Yu Zhilong licked his lips with his moist tongue, and finally stifled his hunger and thirst.
"Go, tell the cavalry soldiers to drink slowly, not violently, everyone and horses need to do the same!" Yu Zhilong was worried that the cavalry sergeant had not paid attention and injured his body, so he hurriedly ordered someone to go over and give the order.
"No!" One of them took the order and ran away.
Seeing that Ji Xiancheng, Qian Zheng, and Ma Rulong's troops lined up one after another, driving towards the middle road, he listened carefully to the sound of fighting in the middle road, and then ordered Tanma to go to Wanjinhai to observe carefully and return.
Zhao Shidao: "There are still 200 archers and some bows in the army, and this time the general will go together." He was talking about the many simple bows and arrows made by the Jing'an army, and in order to deal with the Yuan cavalry, the archers were almost undamaged, but half of the arrows made in the rush had been used.
Zhao Shi knew that he was injured, and he was indeed not good at walking, and according to Zhilong's temperament, the main general who led the army to help the middle road must be Yu Zhilong.
"Very good! Brother Shi is here for me, Meng Lao Thief is defeated, our army has a three-point chance of winning, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue and lay the overall situation! ”
"Order Gao Shang and Xie Lin to withdraw the wounded of our department as soon as possible, and these prisoners will also be escorted into the city, tell Ming Shijie that there are too many prisoners, pay attention to separate and separate prisoners, and in addition, separate the officers at all levels among them, and if they find that they have instigated the prisoners and soldiers to make trouble, they will be killed immediately!"
It is a hidden danger for so many captives to be placed outside the city, and if they are executed on the spot, not only will it damage his image, but Yu Zhilong will not be able to make up his mind.
Many people say that killing prisoners is ominous, but Yu Zhilong doesn't believe this statement, after all, the enemy and I are all Han people, and many of these people join the imperial army to beg for food. At least two of the achievements in the current Jing'an army are prisoners of all kinds.
Moreover, killing prisoners can easily lead to tyrannical military morale, which is not a long-term strategy for managing the army. Now the situation is still grim, Yu Zhilong doesn't have the time and mood to deal with them, so he will detain them first.
"Immediately ride a horse and inform the generals and the city, just say that the old thief Meng has fled away, the Jing'an army has won a complete victory on the left flank, and is going to support the king of Shuntian in the middle, all the leaders should fight with all their strength, tell Wan, Qin and other leaders, you must hold on!"
"General, Liu Qi has finally acted!" Sun Xing looked at the middle road and found that Liu Qi's array began to move quickly towards Liu Zhengfeng.
"This old boy, seeing that the momentum is starting to smooth, has he finally made up his mind!" Wu Side said indignantly. The battlefield situation is so tragic and tense, most of Liu Qi's troops have been waiting and watching, and they have not made any moves, if he can meet Liu Zhengfeng earlier, Yu Shichang and Liu Zhengfeng will not be overstretched now, and it is difficult to break through the middle of the Yuan army.
Although Yu Zhilong and the others didn't know how Liu Zhengfeng gave orders to them, they must have been impatient and annoyed in their hearts.
Zhao Shi sighed: "This person is good at avoiding danger, but it has always been like this, but at this juncture, it is not the wise man who hesitates." ”
"He is willing to contribute now, at least he can share the pressure for King Shuntian." Yu Zhilong remained silent and continued.
"Wu Side!"
"The subordinates are here!" Wu Side was behind Yu Zhilong, and when he heard the order, he immediately responded loudly. In today's battle, the cavalry general Wu Side, Mu Chun, Sun Xing, Ji Xiancheng, Luo Cheng, Huang Er, etc., occupied a place in the Jing'an army.
"Feed the horses a little, take a break for half a pillar of incense, and then continue to fight with me. You go and put on the armor. Yu Zhilong said.
"Obey!" Wu Side took the order and left. After the cavalry rushed and killed several times, less than a third of them survived, and Wu Side was now in tears, but this battle was also very happy. His armor was chopped off by the Yuan army, but his body was extremely strong and he was fine. Yu Zhilong saw that his armor was unbearable, so he specially instructed.
"Tell Captain Ji to pay attention to the cooperation with Captain Ma, move forward slowly, and put pressure on the Tartars. Strictly guard against the impact of the Yuan Rider! We'll be there! ”
"No!" A herald ordered Pegasus to go to the front and told Ji Xiancheng.
Soon the gongs sounded everywhere, the heralds galloped in all directions, and the Jing'an army quickly assembled as a team.
At this time, Gao Shang took hundreds of people and some baggage battalions and other personnel to transport the wounded into the city one by one, and Langzhong handled them. The captives were also taken into the city in droves.
Qu Bo, Xie Lin, Ming Shijie and others were overjoyed to see that the Jing'an army had finally won a great victory at the head of the city, and they high-fived each other and celebrated, watching hundreds of prisoners of war outside the city being escorted into the city in despair, Qu Bo excitedly arranged for his subordinates to temporarily detain them in the barracks and county jail according to Yu Zhilong's instructions.
A messenger came to inform Yu Zhilong of the disposition of the captives, and Qu Bo agreed in a loud voice. Asked if Yu Zhilong and the others were okay, the messenger said: Although there are injuries, their lives are fine. Schelling. Ming Shijie, Yu Lan and others were greatly relieved.
Xie Lin stroked his thumping chest, and said to the official who followed: "Hurry up and prepare, this time our army has many wounded, let those good people heal!" "Lang Zhong in the city has already been summoned by Xie Lin, and prepared a large number of wounded medicine and other sundries, all on standby in the treatment center, now that the battle on the side of the Jing'an army is over, a large number of wounded will be quickly sent to the city.
Yu Lan temporarily relaxed his heart on the left flank, and continued to reluctantly look at the battle situation in the middle of the road a few times, where the distance was far away, and it was impossible to see clearly on the head of the city, and he could only barely see that the enemy and us had been fighting in one place, mixing each other's flags, and faintly the sound of fighting came.
"Uncle Qu, I'll go down and help." Saying hello to Qu Bo, Yu Lan hurriedly went down to the city, and when she left, Xie Lin and Ming Shijie smiled at her and nodded, Yu Lan was a little embarrassed, bowed together, and turned around and ran to the treatment center.
"Don't worry, big sister, I see that today's Tartar is going to suffer a loss!" Qu Bo's hoarse and excited voice came from behind.
