A rhythmic sound of war drums sounded in the Cangguo army.

After hearing this, all the soldiers of the Qilin Army no longer slaughtered wantonly, but looked forward to the left and right, and changed their arrays one after another.

The Qilin Army was divided into two parts, one on the left and one on the left, and they all ran towards the horses and the enemy's rear.

This tactic, they have trained more than a dozen times.

As for why this is done, it is the nature of horses.

Horses are animals that do not take the initiative to collide with larger objects, they will voluntarily avoid obstacles in front of them, and if there is a living person under their feet, they will also take the initiative to avoid and do not step on them, which is a kind of nature, and all horses cannot overcome this.

Therefore, in the face of such a large-scale retreat, if the cavalry is caught in the infantry phalanx, it will be difficult to withdraw for a while, and it will only let the enemy run away, especially in the face of heavy infantry, the cavalry frontal charge is only effective when the infantry is very confused, otherwise it will not be able to rush in, let alone any restraint.

This is also the fundamental reason why most of the famous shock cavalry use very long spears, in order to attack the enemy with their weapons before the horse can take an evasive or decelerating action, breaking through the obstacles in front of the horse, creating a gap, so that the horse can maintain its speed and continue to advance.

Therefore, at this time, it is not appropriate for the Qilin Army to continue to entangle with the Sheng Army, if the time is long, it will cause chaos and cause the formation to break, and it is almost impossible to hunt down those troops.

It was precisely because of this that Geng Gui made a decision and ordered a change of formation.

Again, this is a play on the horse's nature.

Anyone familiar with horses knows that in addition to being timid and easily frightened, horses have a dual nature, that is, to follow and compete, and even the most powerful war horses are no exception.

In battle, the horse will unconsciously follow the head horse, and be a guide at the beginning, even if the head horse dies in battle, the war horse's sense of competition is very strong, and it will continue to run forward.

Once the horse runs, there will be a strong will to run to the front, on the battlefield, some horses are running to the mouth foaming at the mouth and exhausted to death.

Therefore, soldiers who have been war-fighting for a long time can usually see one of the horses kicking their hooves at the other, which is actually a kind of provocation and competition.

"Boom—"

The Qilin army once again urged to chase the retreating Sheng army.

Such a scene can be seen all over the battlefield.

The infantry led by the White Tiger Legion, following around the crossbow chariots, continued to advance and cover up, and the Qilin Army swooped down on the fleeing enemy, attacking from both flanks and behind, but did not surround them, but only encroached little by little, giving pressure.

In this case, the Sheng army, which was still fighting without receiving the order to retreat, was also shaken.

The majority of the army has fled, everyone stays here, where is there still a way to live?

One side is high-spirited, the other side is only thinking about saving his life, and the battle situation is one-sided.

Of course, at this time, the Sheng army that stayed behind to block the attack was not the most desperate group of people on the entire battlefield, because in their rear, the retreating Sheng army was even more embarrassed than them.

Under the detour and encroachment of the Qilin Legion, the Sheng soldiers had lost their armor in order to escape, and could not find any formation.

This is not the embarrassing place, the most embarrassing thing is that they find that no matter how they run, they can't get rid of the pursuers behind them, as if they are stuck behind by something, the distance is getting closer and closer......

After a few miles of travel, the Sheng soldiers were all sweating profusely and panting, and many of them were undressing while fleeing, terrified.

This scene was seen by the main general of the Sheng army on the chariot, and a sad color appeared on his face.

If this continues, the soldiers will only be exhausted to death, and they are afraid that if they run for a few more miles, the whole army will have no power to resist at all.

But so what?

Even if they stop to fight, they can't organize a queue at all, and the soldiers who don't have a queue will only be slaughtered in front of this powerful army.

"Click-"

This is the sound of a horse's hooves trampling a human body,

The pain of the Sheng soldiers was short-lived, because before they could react to the pain, they were trampled by the horses that followed.

"Click-"

In a tooth-sore sound of broken bones, the unicorn sergeant urged the horses without mercy, trampling over the fallen bodies, and the huge hooves of the crotch mounts stepped over the human body, crushing bones and crushing the ribcages, leaving one deep horsehoe mark after another.

Tens of thousands of Sheng soldiers were directly trampled to the pulp.

"Boom—"

The two Qilin armies merged into one, and all of them stuck to the retreating Sheng army, and those running soldiers had long since ignored the general's orders, and directly got rid of the large army and fled to the outside.

I have to say that this Sheng army is making mistakes one after another.

First of all, in the face of absolute superiority of cavalry, it was necessary not to retreat.

Secondly, when retreating, it must not go in one direction.

The most important thing is that after being glued by the cavalry, you should not scatter and flee.

It's a pity that the Sheng Guo army, which faced the cavalry for the first time, violated all these taboos according to the routine of conventional combat methods.

"What kind of army is this...... Feng Zhonglong stood on the chariot, turning his head from time to time to look at the Qilin army that was rushing to kill, his heart was like ashes.

From the point of view of the commander of the first army, he has lost today, and the 150,000-strong army will be annihilated here.

From another point of view, this time to conquer the Cangguo, more than 300,000 troops were wiped out, Sheng Guo directly lost more than 30% of the military strength, this is a huge loss, within three or five years, if the Dong State invades in a big way, Sheng Guo will be in a very disadvantageous passive position.

More importantly, after the Jin Dynasty Alliance, the world has risen again, and a new round of annihilation has come.

Sinners......

Feng Zhonglong let out a long sigh and said to the deputy general next to him: "Ayi, you and I have been fighting side by side for so many years, and we are like brothers and sisters, and I have something to ask you for my brother." ”

"General, what are you going to do!" The deputy general was shocked, of course he understood the meaning, and hurriedly said: "Stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, it's a big deal to escape with your life, come up with a way to deal with it, and then snow today's shame!" ”

Feng Zhonglong shook his head, his eyes were full of sadness, and said: "If I am defeated today, my Dasheng fifteenth elite will be buried here, even if I can escape with my life, will those ministers in the court let me go?" Even if His Majesty trusts him, he will eventually give an explanation to the people, an army of 150,000, behind which are 150,000 families! ”
