Chapter 471: Breaking the Enemy Camp
This formation is a dense defensive formation, and it is said that the defense is very strong, not to mention the infantry, even ordinary cavalry can hardly break through this shield spear formation. Li Cheng thought he was proud and was ready to start counterattacking after the Jeju army touched the nail, but he didn't expect Wu Song to be overjoyed and said, "Prepare the fire and thunder bombs, let them taste it." ”
The soldiers ignited the fire and thunder bullets, but they were not in a hurry to throw them out, but stopped for a few seconds, and then they were thrown into the air and threw them at the shield spear array, and the fire and thunder bullets exploded above the shield spear array, boom, boom, boom, and the hot iron sand instantly killed and injured the shield soldiers and pikemen, and the screams continued, and the entire seemingly solid shield spear infantry position collapsed instantly.
"Rush." Wu Song took the lead alone, pounced on thousands, and the morale of the Daimyo's Mansion army collapsed, and he turned around and ran.
Li Cheng was also stunned and said, "How can this be." ”
The adjutant general said: "Let's go, it's too late if you don't leave, their fire and thunder bombs are too powerful." ”
Li Cheng and the lieutenant general turned around and left, and as soon as they left on their front feet, a few fire and thunder bombs came over, and the smoke exploded on the ground.
The Daimyo's Mansion was in complete chaos, the soldiers could not find the generals, the generals could not find the soldiers, and there were explosions and billowing smoke everywhere. More than 20,000 troops ran out of the camp and fled to the west, forming a spectacle, with 3,000 people chasing more than 20,000 people.
At the beginning, it was only Wu Song who led the infantry in pursuit, and soon the cavalry archers and lancers no longer besieged the camp and turned to pursue together.
There were five or six miles of chase out, and the Daimyo's army was defeated, and the scattered soldiers were running in a mess, everywhere.
Wu Song said: "Return to the army, don't pursue anymore." ”
Immediately, the military order was issued, and the generals gathered the army to return, Niu Gao said: "The chase is getting up, why don't you chase it." ”
Wu Song said: "The infantry's fire and thunder shells are almost gone, presumably your cavalry's bows and arrows are also running out. ”
The army turned back, took their wounded soldiers, etc., and quickly crossed the shoals and returned to Hukou Town.
Let's say why didn't Suo Chao return to the army when the Jeju army went to war, if Suo Chao returned to the army at this time, it would inevitably cause heavy casualties to the Jeju army, and even the danger of annihilation.
It turned out that Suo Chao led his troops to pursue Hu Yanzhuo, who had escaped, and chased five or six miles to the north, and then Tanma found that the Jeju army began to storm his own camp, and immediately reported it to Suo Chao, Suo Chao immediately decided to return to the army, but at this time, Hu Yanzhuo, Han Tao and others led the army to turn around and come back, the two armies faced each other, Hu Yanzhuo fought Suo Chao, a pair of double whips and Suo Chao's big axe hit together, and the killing was dark. Hu Yanzhuo's martial arts are strong, and he fought with Suo Chao for more than 30 rounds without winning or losing, just because of this, Han Tao came up to help, this time Suo Chao was in trouble, let Han Tao beat the horse, but Hu Yanzhuo and Han Tao did not make a dead hand, otherwise Suo Chao's little life would be gone.
also officially called for the kung fu of Yanzhuo and Suo Chao, so that the Jeju army proudly and successfully defeated the Daimyofu army.
Li Cheng saw that Wu Song had retreated across the river with his troops, so he came back tremblingly to clean up the camp, and saw that the camp was full of gunsmoke, war was everywhere, and there were at most thirty percent of tents, grain and grass, materials, etc. left. The soldiers have no fighting spirit and low morale. After counting the number of people, it was found that the 3,000 light cavalry led by Suo Chao was missing, and there were about 12,000 or 2,000 of the 20,000 infantry he brought, and the rest were either injured or deserters.
The adjutant general proposed: "If the supplies are gone, we can order the nearby state capital to allocate grain and grass, and let's temporarily retreat ten miles back and set up camp to train the soldiers to restore their morale." ”
Li Chengdao: "It makes sense, retreat." Immediately sent a horse to find Suo Chao, and then organized the soldiers to retreat from the new camp, and at the same time sent the battle report to Gao Yu and Liang Zhongshu.
Li Chengxin's camp has not yet been settled, and the flag officer outside the door came to report: "The cavalry led by Suo Chao is only half back." ”
"What's only half back? Call Suo Chao to me in, how did I fight, I lost half of it. ”
The flag officer didn't dare to gasp, and said hesitantly: "Suo Chao didn't come back, according to the soldiers who came back, Suo Chao was captured by Hu Yanzhuo, and he heard that the army was defeated, and he was afraid that the general would punish him, so he took refuge in Hu Yanzhuo." The soldiers who were willing to follow all followed Suo Chao, and half of the others who were unwilling to follow returned. ”
Li Cheng only felt that the sky was dark, the blood was surging, and the blood vessels in his head were expanding rapidly, but fortunately, Lao Li was in good health, so he didn't lie down.
Li Cheng shouted again and again: "How to explain when you go back, how to explain when you go back." "Li Cheng is a good general, but these soldiers and horses are not his private soldiers, but Liang Zhongshu's famous army, not to mention that there is a Cai Jing on Liang Zhongshu, which is involved in the game of the ministers of the DPRK and China, and Liang Zhongshu doesn't know how to scold him when he goes back.
Outside the door, the probe ran in, half-knelt on the ground, and didn't pay attention to Li Cheng's expression, and said, "There are three thousand more military horses from Jeju, there are two or three hundred cavalry, and the rest are infantry." ”
Li Cheng slowed down for a long time before he said, "What kind of banner is playing?" ”
"Huzi Banner, if it is not bad as expected, it should be the Zhuang Ding team led by Hu Sanniang of Hujiazhuang." Exploration Horse Road.
Li Chengyi waved his hand: "Let's go down, continue to report if there is any new situation." ”
Tanma went out, and Wen Da, the deputy general next to Li Cheng, said: "Hu Sanniang is the daughter-in-law of Chao Gai who has not passed the door, I heard that her skills are superb, and she must be very conceited, it is better to challenge the last general, this female general will definitely fight, and as long as she catches this person, she will be of great use." ”
It's not a good skill to catch a female general, if Li Cheng and Wen Da usually use this method, but now they have lost too badly, and they have to make this decision.
Li Chengdao: "Okay, you take a few people in the future, three thousand soldiers and horses to challenge, remember to be careful of the opponent's artillery, and retreat as soon as possible when the situation is not good." ”
Wenda said, "I see." Immediately led 3,000 soldiers to Hukou Town to challenge.
Indeed, as reported by Tanma, Hu Sanniang led the coalition of Hujiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang, and Lijiazhuang just now. These three Zhuang coalition forces are different from the ordinary Zhuang Ding team, in fact, Chao Gai arranged a team trained by his own soldiers, including Hu Sanniang's cousin Hu Yong, Zhu Wannian, the new owner of Zhujiazhuang, and Li Meng, the nephew of Li Ying, Li Jiazhuang.
Wu Song was very happy to see the reinforcements, but he was also a little worried, Hu Sanniang was Chao Gai's daughter-in-law who had not passed the door, everyone knew this, Wu Song was most afraid that Hu Sanniang would not listen to the command. But fortunately, Hu Sanniang didn't cause trouble to Wu Song as soon as she arrived.
Wu Song, Yang Zhi, Niu Gao, Huang Xin, Hu Sanniang and others were discussing matters in the army, and the soldiers outside came to report and said: "The Daimyo's Mansion Dadao Wenda named the new female general to go out for a meeting." ”
Wu Song said: "Don't pay attention to this person, give orders to the artillery, and repel them." ”
Hu Sanniang said: "Wait." ”
