532 Retreat!

The role of the cavalry was in his speed. For the annihilated enemy, they mostly used the tactics of defeat rather than the original encirclement tactics of the Qin army. The reason for this was that their numbers did not guarantee that they would adopt the principle of division of forces. Equipping a cavalry force of 1,000 men is very expensive. Plus huge logistical supplies. A cavalry force of 10,000 is equivalent to an army of 50,000. Yan Guo can't afford it at all. Moreover, too much division of troops is for the Yan army with limited cavalry resources. It can't be done.

The news of the Yan cavalry killing soon spread to the rest of the Qi Kingdom.

"The people of Yan are here. Yan people are here. The fleeing Qi army passed by all of them in horror.

"What, the Yan people are here again." An old man said after hearing Qi Jun's shouting.

The panic caused by the escape was not only these, these fleeing Qi troops did not want to fight in the first place. After seeing the powerful force of the Yan army's attack. They decided to become deserters. Their heads are already dead on the battlefield. They have become veritable rebels.

They didn't want to fight in the first place. Now it's hard to escape death. Naturally, do something out of the ordinary. And, they expected. These places must be Yan Jun's. Yan Jun also robbed before he came, and he also robbed himself. So like locusts, they robbed all the light they passed.

"Take it. Old stuff. A fleeing Qi soldier snatched the food that the old man was desperately protecting.

"It's our lifeline. You can't rob it. The old man was pushed to the ground and shouted loudly.

"The root of life. Hum. Lao Tzu wants your life. As he spoke, he picked up his spear and stabbed the old man.

"Grandpa. Grandfather. Can't kill my grandfather. A young girl suddenly ran out.

"Hey, hey." The deserter laughed wickedly.

"What's wrong today, this is." The deserter laughed.

"Granddaughter run. Run. The old man saw the deserter's intentions. He let his granddaughter run away.

"Run. There runs. The deserter pounced like a hungry tiger as he spoke.

"I'll fight with you." The old man was so excited that he wanted to fight with him. The granddaughter took the opportunity to flee the yard.

"Die." The deserter kicked the old man away. Then pick up the spear on the ground.

"Poof." The deserter killed the old man at once. Then he ran out of the yard to grab the old man's granddaughter and enjoy it.

"Drive." No sooner had he run out of the hospital than a carriage came galloping towards him.

"Poof." The deserters don't know what is going on yet. A sharp sword slashed his neck, and he fell to the ground and died.

"You and other thieves have done such a big thing. Kill. They were all killed. "One year, in the carriage, a young man shouted with a sharp sword.

"Kill." He was followed by a group of private soldiers dressed in civilian clothes and white family clothes and rushed over together. On the carriage was a large banner with the word "Tian". This young man is Tian Heng. He and his customers collected their accounts around here. Tian Heng is a nobleman of the Qi State. There is a certain fiefdom. Rely on contractual relationships. He maintained his family interests. After learning the news of the Yan army's killing. Tian Heng wanted to follow Tian Dan's practice of retreating from the Yan army. So, he beckoned a rebel army to kill the Yan army.

But along the way. The rebels were plagued by the wanton looting of property, and not only that, but many people were killed for it. Tian Heng decided to kill all these thieves first.

And let the side. The Yan cavalry had major disagreements over whether to continue the offensive or retreat.

"Colonel, we're just too far from our supply point. It has been more than 300 miles. We are struggling with supplies. Moreover, we have no friendly troops to support. A lieutenant staff officer said.

"What else?" The colonel said.

"Our combat mission is to break through the enemy's defenses. Appropriate entry into the enemy's depth to strike at the opponent caused confusion, and we did that. But one more point. We had to cooperate with the infantry, and the artillery launched an attack from the rear against the enemy's line of 100,000 men. In this way, we will be able to ・・・・・・・・ "said the lieutenant analyzing the combat mission.

"No, no. Qin Jun's instructor said. The emphasis of the cavalry was on his speed, mobility. We can't stop. We're going to move forward. Keep moving forward. The colonel interrupted the lieutenant's analysis.

"However, our supply situation is very bad. Especially the horse artillery units, they ran out of shells. The lieutenant said.

"And our bullets, gunpowder. Not much. And there were a lot of wounded soldiers. They can't afford to delay like this. Sir. The lieutenant argued. The army of Yan sent a total of three cavalry regiments. But the three cavalry regiments were all at a distance from each other. The reason is that they come from three different combat units. It is very difficult to command. As a result, the cavalry regiment was very weak in its operational strength when used to advance on strategic objectives. But if used tactically. They are more than enough. The Qin army had a special mobile unit. And the scale is in three divisions. But the establishment of the Yan army could only be suppressed in the regiment. Up to the brigade level one. The reason is simple.

The Qin State did not want to see a strong Yan army. This is one factor, and the other most important factor is that the financial resources of the Yan Kingdom cannot be maintained. Yan's economy has been shattered by this war. The army barely survived on the gold mines they had discovered.

"Colonel. If, our cavalry ranks are crippled. Surely the king will punish us, even if our merits are great. The lieutenant continued. They rushed all the way, under the rapid blows of the cavalry. Relying on raids, their warring states were very rich. There were many cities, armies, scattered and fled under their blows.

The colonel nodded. This was heard in his heart. At the beginning, the brigadier brigade commander was directly disposed of by King Yan because he lost most of his troops in the hands of Li Mu. Although their exploits are very great. But he still couldn't escape death. Come to think of it. The colonel chose to accept the lieutenant's opinion.

"Alright, let's retreat." The colonel commanded with a whip in his hand. The lieutenant saluted and then gave the order. The cavalry again pulled out, this time to the north.

"Kill." A large army of very disorganized formations appeared on a low hillside. They are the rebels organized by Tian Heng.

"Huh. How did the Yan army withdraw. The rebels watched strangely as the Yan cavalry left in a neat line. And Tian Heng did not order the rebels to take the initiative. This rebel army is a temporary patchwork, and it can't fight with others at all.

The neat formation of the cavalry calmed down Tian Heng. If this rebel army really rushes down. I'm afraid that we will lose very badly. The two armies just looked at each other and left. The Yan army did not bother to launch an attack on such an army. They want to preserve their strength. Because they can't afford to lose.
