"Lord Uncle, the enemy's formation has begun to disperse, and our cavalry has broken through into the enemy's circle. Is it time for a decisive battle to bring in the Commandos and Axemen? ”

Listening to Guan Fu's words, Jiang Wei slowly shook his head: "The Jin generals are very good, although the defeat of the Jin army at this time has been revealed, it is far from the verge of collapse." ”

As if to confirm Jiang Wei's words in the city. On the east side of the battlefield, relying on the impact of the Jin army's light cavalry holding big sticks, although the heavy cavalry of the Han army still broke through the enemy's first line of defense, its speed slowed down significantly—it was quite dangerous for the heavy cavalry to slow down in the circle where the enemy infantry was dominant.

And at this time, as Yang Zhao's order gradually became effective, the spearmen of the Jin army, who were originally fighting on the front line, finally began to gradually respond to the commander's order: retreat.

Of course, this retreat is not a retreat of the whole army turning back, but a retreat like a stab and two steps back. This is basically possible after more than a year of training by the Luoyang Chinese Army.

Although the spearmen of the Han army also accelerated their advance under the urging of the bronze whistle of their commander, the Jin army on the opposite side still put up effective resistance. In the end, the Han army's spearmen were half less than others, so the Jin army contracted the front, but the Han army's spearmen could not achieve all-round coverage and strike.

The heavy cavalry opened up the situation, but the casualties on their own side began to rise. This made Ma Jie's heart bleed: the cost of cultivating and maintaining a heavy cavalry is about five times that of a light cavalry!

"Blow the trumpet, the light cavalry will follow the general's assault, and the heavy cavalry will retreat."

"Whoa!"

With Ma Jie's order, the light cavalry on the east side of the Han army followed Ma Jie and plunged into the sea of people of the Jin army, and after a period of fighting, they turned into a large group of light cavalry to wrap the heavy cavalry of their own side. Then Ma Jie led the army to make a turn, and the cavalry of the Han army drew an arc inside the circle of the Jin army, and then retreated easily.

"Huh~~" Raising his eyes and looking at the banner on the hill, Hu Lie roared loudly: "Don't pursue, don't pursue, the whole army will follow me to the west, let's go deal with another cavalry!" ”

The blow of the heavy cavalry was brutal and short-lived, and it was Wen Yang's troops who really bled the Jin army for a long time.

His 30,000 men rushed in before the gap between the two Jin armies was closed, and then happily harvested the panicked Jin archers. It was only half an hour later, and the archers who provided long-range support behind the Jin army's spearmen were taken away by the Wenyang team.

After that, Wen Yang did not continue to rush forward: in his opinion, on the east side of the enemy's army, his good brother Ma Jie led the heavy cavalry to assault, and there was no need to draw snakes by himself. Therefore, he also led the army to draw an arc inside the circle formation of the Jin army, changing from west to east to east to east, and attacked the spearmen on the front line of the Jin army from the flank and rear.

This was a bitter problem for Yang Zhao, who was commanding on the front line: in the north, the Han army's spearmen attacked more and more frequently, and in the south, they had to suffer from enemy cavalry attacks. For a while, the attacks on both sides made Yang Zhao look depressed, and he wanted to give up.

But fortunately, at this time, Jiang Ban still led the infantry team to come up, and not long after that, Hu Lie also led the army to post it.

"Huh? Why did Zhongying's side retreat so quickly? After a brief cry of doubt, Wen Yang quickly pulled the reins: "Brothers, follow me and retreat!" ”

"Don't stand in the way! Don't stand in the way! Let them out! Whether it was Jiang Ban and Yang Zhao in the vicinity, or Hu Lie in the back, they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Wen Yang retreat - the top priority now is to rebuild and repair the damaged formation, as long as the formation is not chaotic, this battle will be fought.

"Hey~~" Jiang Wei at the head of the city could only sigh when he saw such a scene. Then he looked at the sun in the sky: "Give the order, Mingjin withdraw the troops." ”

"Whoa!"

In the first battle of the Battle of Continental Ze, at the beginning of the game, due to the numerical superiority of the Jin army's spearmen and the deliberate lure of the Han army's spearmen formation, the Jin army's spearmen distanced themselves from the sword and shield soldiers in the rear. Cracks appeared in the circle.

Then Jiang Wei seized this opportunity and sent two wings of cavalry to assault. But on the one hand, the rear strength of the Jin army is really strong, and the most important thing is that the commanders of all directions of the Jin army are veterans, and in the face of the critical moment when the formation of their own side is broken, all of them are in danger and have made the most correct response. As a result, although the Han cavalry inflicted successful casualties on the other side, they were unable to achieve decisive results - causing the Jin army to collapse. When the spearmen of the Jin army reacted and began to take the initiative to restore the formation, in order to avoid too many casualties of their own cavalry, Wen Yang and Ma Jie both took the initiative to retreat - following Jiang Wei for a long time, the command style of the new generation of generals of the Han army is also moving closer to Jiang Wei: to win the battle, and unless necessary, not to win the battle with heavy losses.

After the two sides collected their troops and completely disengaged from contact, it was already approaching the unitary hour, and the sun was setting.

"General Qiqi, in today's battle, the results of casualties are out."

"Read it."

"Well, in today's battle, more than 3,200 of our spearmen and more than 700 archers were killed. Due to the diffuse fire of the enemy archers, the rear chariot and axe troops lost more than 30 people. In terms of cavalry, the heavy cavalry lost more than 200 men, and 180 war horses failed to return. The light cavalry lost more than 980 people. In terms of wounded soldiers, more than 1,000 gunmen were seriously wounded and more than 3,000 were lightly wounded. More than 2,000 archers, chariot soldiers, and axe men were wounded by arrows. However, the problem of arrow wounds is not too big and does not affect the subsequent battle. ”

"Good, hard work, stand down."

"Whoa."

"General, in today's battle, our army's losses are not much, but the losses we inflicted on the enemy are at least 20,000. So, tomorrow, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy. ”

"Hehehe, Zhongying is so ambitious. However, in the old man's opinion, we can't fight this battle tomorrow. ”

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"If the old man didn't guess wrong, Chen Xiuyuan would withdraw his troops tonight."

"Huh?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, after Si Wencao's recent inquiry, we are already very clear. Chen Xiuyuan didn't want to bring these 120,000 Jin troops out of the Ren County defense line that had been built to fight with us. This battle was forced to be fought by the emperor of the Jin Kingdom. When I got here, I had a big battle with us, a small defeat, and I had an explanation for the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, that is. In the end, Chen Xiuyuan got the true biography of Sima Zhongda, and he didn't like field battles, but liked to shrink in a strong city defense to fight against our army. ”

"General, should we send troops to pursue tonight?"

"Hehehe, this doesn't have to be. A hundred thousand troops in the field at night? No matter how well we arrange this, it will be a chaotic battle in the back, and everyone should know that our spearmen will not do anything if they leave the formation. As for arranging a night raid by the commandos? Well, the old man watched the battle today, and he only felt that the generals at all levels of the Jin army were very good, and even in the face of a crisis, they were in an orderly manner. Therefore, if there are too many soldiers, there will be chaos, and the casualties of our army must be not small. If there are fewer soldiers, it will not make much difference. Therefore, forget about the night attack. ”

"Uh...... We will receive the command. It's just a general, can you just let the enemy troops withdraw? Although our army will definitely be able to take the defense line of Renxian in a dignified manner, but there is a chance to annihilate the enemy army in the field, so why do we have to attack the city? ”

"Of course, the old man is not ready to let this Jin army go back." Jiang Wei smiled slightly: "Thirty miles southeast from here, it is the north shore of the mainland. The Jin army had a camp there. If the old man expected it was not bad, Chen Xiuyuan was going to retreat there tonight, and then withdraw his troops by relying on the waterway of the mainland. ”

"That?"

"But how easy is it to withdraw troops in front of the enemy? Someone is going to break off, right? If there are fewer broken backs, they will not play the role of delaying the advance of our army. There are more people after the break, and there are fewer people who return to the Renxian defense line, how can they block the follow-up attack of our army? And not everyone can do such a thing. Some time ago, Wang Shizhi faced Da Sima in Zhaoyuze, didn't he escape first? ”

"Huh? Hahahaha, the great general Takami. ”

"Now the herald!"

"I'll wait for the general's order!"

"The spearmen who fought for a day today rested, and the commandos and axe teams were in front. If the enemy withdraws, there is no need to attack. Just follow each other from a distance. After dawn tomorrow, the whole army will leave the Yang clan and pursue the enemy army! Our army will defeat the main force of this Jin State on the north bank of the mainland! ”

"Whoa!"
