Chapter 272: Cavalry Chase

"See, General Zhao, how about it, I will immediately lead the cavalry out of the city and kill him on his back!"

Zhao Tianyou glanced at the situation on the battlefield again, and the Yuan army, which had been wilted by a round of rapid-fire cannons, began to converge towards the siege machinery again in the rain of arrows and thunderbolts, and still wanted to forcibly attack the city.

"You go and prepare to assemble the team, when the time is right, I will open the city gate and lower the drawbridge, remember, that general Suo Duo must not run, be sure to catch me back!"

Ling Zhen said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, General Zhao, today I will see how powerful my cavalry is, and I will definitely get that Suoduo back for you." ”

"Pay attention to safety, you can be stubborn but you can't fight indiscriminately, the defeated army must be chased and killed, but you can't fight the trapped beast!"

"Understand General Zhao, don't worry, their lives are not as valuable as the lives of our cavalry."

The battle continued to be anxious, Suo Duo's heart was getting colder and colder, and he had already paid a huge number of casualties, but he hadn't even erected a ladder, let alone attacked the city wall of Guangzhou, was his impulsive decision wrong?

Bows and arrows still flew down from the city in waves, the fierce soldiers fell one by one, the suppression of the bows and arrows organized in situ became lower and lower, and the arrows shot by the archers whose arms were already sour could not surpass the city walls and fall, what deterrent could they cause to the soldiers in the city.

The rapid-fire gunners who had been waiting for a while began to adjust the angle and reload from the new ammunition, which was the second power of these twenty guns that completely shattered the confidence of the Yuan soldiers, as well as Sodo's control over the entire army.

Two hundred cannonballs poured down from the city and fell into the ranks of the Yuan army in less than half a column of incense, and the one or two thousand dead and wounded this time were not as good as the results of the first salvo. But the frightened cavalry of the Yuan army, some people began to beat their horses and gallop, galloping towards their way without looking back, and what they wanted to do was naturally self-evident.

With the first person fleeing in fear, soon there will be a second and third, to continue to stay and fight is to die, turn the horse's head and flee to be able to live, this simple choice is indeed a problem that many people are difficult to face.

"The Hongyi cannon began to bombard, completely shattering the confidence of the soldiers under the city, preparing to open the city gate, archers and ballistae to fire, covering the cavalry out of the city!"

After a few orders were passed on, the Song army at the head of the city was extremely excited, and they were able to watch their cavalry go out of the city to fight, and these Song troops could be regarded as a blessing for their eyes. With the creaking of hinges, the heavy gates opened left and right, and by this time the archers and crossbow beds had cleared the soldiers near the gates, clearing the way for the cavalry to charge inside the city.

More than 10,000 soldiers who were still on the horse also noticed that the drawbridge at the city gate of Guangzhou was lowered and the city gate was opened, what was Song Jun going to do? However, some of them were smart, and they were still bothering about which choice just now, and as soon as they saw the city gate open, they immediately understood what it meant, and immediately made a choice to decide their own fate.

At this moment when the artillery was paused, more than half of the Yuan army turned their horses and turned around and evacuated, including the personal guards around Suo Duo.

"Let's go, general, if you hold on, the whole army will be wiped out, it's better to go back to the camp first and make a decision!"

"General, let's go back to the camp first! I can't take it down! ”

"The Song army has cavalry! The cavalry of the Song army rushed out! ”

In the choice of life and death, the soldiers were polarized, and in such a weak situation, there were still hundreds of Yuan cavalry who drew their scimitars and turned their horses to meet the Song cavalry who rushed out of the city. Maybe they have decided to die here today, maybe their heads are hot, they only know how to kill, and they don't know the situation they are in, anyway, there are so many hundreds of cavalry, holding swords to meet them.

The first wave of Song cavalry has been holding a bow and arrows in their hands, seeing the Yuan army rushing forward immediately horse bow and arrows, although the courage of these hundreds of Yuan soldiers is commendable, but the fate is not proper, after being covered by the rain of arrows and strangling, there are only dozens of people who can fight with the Song army.

It's not that they don't want to ride and shoot arrows, it's their housekeeping skills, but the bows and arrows on their bodies have just been exhausted under the city, how can there be arrows and Song cavalry to shoot at each other, and they can fight hand-to-hand with knives and knives.

The 30,000 cavalry of the Song army, which was in high spirits, rushed towards a plate of scattered Yuan soldiers with the sound of whistling horses' hooves, occupying an absolute advantage in terms of numbers, morale, equipment and other conditions, and pursued the defeated Yuan army with two to three times the force.

Ling Zhen held a special five-foot long knife in his right hand, which was long and heavy and could only be used by his stature, with his long arms that were far superior to others, and a body of brave strength that was no less than a thousand catties. He holds a sturdy shield on his left arm, which protects his body from arrows, and can also be used as a blunt weapon to smash enemies when the two horses are staggered.

He followed the elite cavalry with more than 10,000 people behind him, he did not forget the promise he made to Zhao Tianyou at the head of the city, and after leaving the city, he kept staring at the direction of Suo Duo's escape, and followed it all the way.

"The enemy is scattered and fleeing, fleeing all over the mountains and fields, and it is necessary to continue to chase and intercept them, and not let them flee to the township to endanger the people and villagers. You, you, and each led a thousand people from the headquarters to pursue the scattered and fleeing Yuan soldiers, remember, I need war horses, not people! ”

While galloping on horseback, Ling Zhen arranged for underwater officers to pursue the fleeing Yuan army. It's not that Ling Zhen is stingy, and dozens of escaped Yuan soldiers are in his eyes, but if he lets them go now, the people along the way will be unlucky.

These Mongol cavalry are very capable of fighting alone, and their adaptability to the environment is even better, if dozens of people flee to nearby villages, they will really kill all the people and continue to practice the means of killing and burning.

The war horses of the Song army are ready to go, and the war horses of the Yuan soldiers have been fighting for a while, and they have not shown any advantages when they first left the city, but as time continues, Ling Zhen led 8,000 elite cavalry, which is getting closer and closer to the more than 3,000 people gathered by Suoduo.

"General, our horsepower is tired, we have no advantage in speed, and we will soon be caught up by the Song army!"

The cavalry behind him spoke in an anxious tone, and asked Suoduo with a sad face, no matter whether he fought or not, he would soon chase to the camp of the Yuan army of Liudianling. If they abandon the camp at this time and continue to flee forward, not to mention whether they can get rid of the pursuing Song army, it is very likely that they will not have anything to eat tonight.

Suo Duo looked at the fluttering banner in the middle of the Wudieling camp from a distance, gritted his teeth and felt a horizontal in his heart, let's fight a decisive battle here!

"The front team listened to the order, and the school field in front of the battalion held down the position, and fought to the death with the pursuing Song army!"

Looking at the Yuan army team that was getting closer and closer in front of him, Ling Zhen grinned and laughed, and the feeling of galloping on horseback to chase turned out to be so comfortable and happy.

The Yuan army slowed down the formation, the soldiers who had stopped their horses were forming in front of the camp, and the archers had begun to shoot coveringly, trying to block the Song army's onslaught.

"Raise your shield, shine your sword, and charge me!"
