Chapter 162: Bait!
"General, there are pursuers behind."
Zhang He glanced behind him and said with a smile: "It seems that I still overestimated this guy Tao Sheng." ”
"I don't seem to be happy with what everyone killed before, in that case! Turn the horse's head and kill back! ”
There was a howling cry from the crowd, spear in hand, and saber brandishing to turn and kill.
The commander of the cavalry of the Montenegrin Army was very shocked when he saw that the Yizhou cavalry had actually come back, but after the two sides fought, he suddenly found that it seemed to be his own side that was inferior in terms of numbers and combat effectiveness.
The fierce cavalry of the Han army directly chiseled through the cavalry of the Black Mountain Army, and then chiseled back, but Zhang He saw that the infantry behind him was about to catch up, and gave the order to retreat.
After the lesson of hundreds of lives, the cavalry of the Black Mountain Army did not dare to catch up alone, but how could they catch up with the slow speed of the infantry, and after chasing for two miles, seeing that it was hopeless, they gave up.
After getting the news, Tao Sheng was angry again, but to no avail, after reorganizing the soldiers and horses, he found that there were more than 5,000 casualties in just a short time of incense.
And less than fifty Yizhou cavalry were killed, which made Tao Shengqi's even the desk smashed, and the reason why the Montenegrin army suffered so many casualties was actually that most of them were trampled to death because of pushing and squeezing each other.
When the frightened Montenegrin Army was ready to bury the pot for cooking again, Zhang He's cavalry appeared again, and thousands of spears were killed among the Montenegrin soldiers who were still holding bowls with lightning speed.
Although the number of soldiers in the Montenegrin army is large, they have just experienced a nightmare, and with experience, they have no intention of fighting, and they will be crushed at the first touch.
After killing for a while, before reinforcements arrived, the Han army retreated again.
Tao Sheng, who had already fallen twice in the same place, finally learned to be obedient, he let half of the people eat first, and the other half waited for the battle, and then transferred to avoid being taken by the Han army again.
The problem of eating can be solved with a little more time, but it is a big problem when marching.
Nearly 200,000 soldiers of the Montenegrin Army stretched for dozens of miles, and Zhang He divided the troops into three groups, totaling about 2,500 people each, and attacked in turn, picking out the weak points where the old and weak were more numerous, and then retreated before reinforcements arrived.
Because he is a cavalryman, and the number is not large, it can be said that he comes and goes like the wind, and he is chic and free.
Throughout the day, the Montenegrin army was attacked, fled, reinforced, gathered and routed, regrouped, attacked, fled...... In this process, there is a helpless and tragic back and forth.
After repeating the same process many times, they ran away when they saw the cavalry of Yizhou, which almost became a conditioned reflex for the soldiers of the Montenegrin Army.
The Yizhou cavalry did not intercept either, they just drove behind, killing the last soldier by the way.
In order to avoid the pursuit, the Montenegrin soldiers will run forward desperately, and many people accidentally fall down during the chaos, and once they fall, they don't want to get up again, and even push their companions backwards in order to survive.
At the end of the first day, nearly 15,000 Black Mountain soldiers were killed, most of them died in the hands of their own people, and Tao Shengqi even broke the jade pendant on his waist.
When camping in the evening, in order to prevent a sneak attack, Zhang Bao also took the same measures as when cooking to prevent being attacked.
Zhang He saw that there was no chance to take advantage of it, so he did not choose to be strong. After all, if the more than 7,000 people really choose to be strong, as long as they lose their mobility as soon as they are dragged and lose their mobility, they will be thrown into the sea.
Tao Sheng didn't dare to take it lightly, he always felt that the Yizhou cavalry hadn't come for so long, there might be some conspiracy brewing, and he sent double the manpower to patrol the camp at night.
Tao Sheng was already like this, not to mention the ordinary Black Mountain soldiers, all of them slept in their clothes, their weapons by their side, trembling and uneasy.
When they sleep, they keep one eye open, for fear that their heads will be cut off in their sleep, and when something happens, they become more alert than rabbits, ready to run away at any time.
Finally survived the night, and when the sky was slightly bright the next day, the Black Mountain sergeant got up with a sigh, and he had not yet had time to release the savings of the night.
The familiar sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and Zhang He led the Yizhou cavalry to appear again, and what he brought to the Black Mountain Army was not warm sunshine but bloody killings.
The soldiers of the Montenegrin army did not hesitate, and no matter what camp they had, they ran away, and in the midst of a terrible scream, Zhang He set the tone for today's chase.
On the third day, Zhang He keenly noticed that the resistance of the Montenegrin army was getting weaker and weaker, and he immediately ordered the rest of the generals to lead two cavalry to intensify the attack with him.
As a result, sorties became more frequent, often with one unit just leaving and another already appearing, but each unit maintained a full level of physical strength at the time of the sortie.
The Montenegrin army was attacked and harassed more than a dozen times a day, unable to eat or sleep, and its numbers and morale were rapidly weakening.
"Damn it, damn the Han army!"
In the Chinese military tent, Tao Sheng smashed everything on the desk to the ground, and finally got angry and overturned the entire case to the ground.
Jia Zhen quietly picked up the desk and put those things back in.
On the fourth day, nearly 50,000 soldiers had been killed and fled, and even those who stayed were panicked, like frightened birds, without the slightest desire to fight, and the Yizhou cavalry paid only about 1,000 casualties.
What's more, it took four days for the army to march more than 100 miles, because too much time was allocated every day for cooking, camping, and organizing the army.
There are still more than 100 miles away from Xin County, and it will take at least four days, and every day that passes, the number of yellow scarves killed and escaped will increase significantly, and what will be left around them in another four days?
Am I really wrong? Shouldn't I leave Dingxiang? He looked up at Jia Zhen, trying to find an answer from him, but finally felt that Jia Zhen's calm gaze was full of sarcasm.
No, I'm not wrong!
"Jia Zhen! I order you to find a way to destroy those more than 5,000 cavalry no matter what, no matter what method you use! ”
Tao Sheng poured all his anger on Jia Zhen.
Jia Zhen was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and thought hard, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head and said, "No matter what method you use?" ”
Tao Sheng nodded.
In this case, a sneer appeared on the corner of Jia Zhen's mouth.
…………
"General, there's movement in the camp of the Black Mountain Army."
When Zhang He was sleeping in a daze, the guards woke him up.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang He asked slowly while sighing. With more than 5,000 soldiers to pursue dozens of times the enemy, sleeping less than ten miles away, he did not have the slightest sense of tension, and seemed to be at ease.
"News from the scouts that the Montenegrin army seems to be in a night terror."
Zhang He perked up when he heard this: "Quick, wake them all up!" ”
As he gave the order, he began to organize his weapons and equipment. After days of pursuit, the Yizhou cavalry also looked very tired, but they were quickly assembled under Zhang He's order.
Zhang Hece immediately took a high slope and looked towards the Montenegrin military camp, in the vast night, he saw the fire in the Montenegrin military camp, and countless figures in the fire rushed in panic, making a noisy noise, even if it was far away, it still clearly came into his ears.
Night terrors are a taboo in soldiers, when the soldiers are nervous after a long battle, the slightest movement while sleeping at night may cause the camp to be bombed.
And then spread to the entire camp, this is a relatively rare but normal phenomenon, even the well-trained elite is inevitable, not to mention the rabble of the Black Mountain Army.
After being pursued and harassed by Zhang He for a few days, these soldiers were already nervously fragile, and the night terrors were reasonable.
Zhang He was overjoyed: "God really helps me!" The Montenegrin army has a night terror! The thief is tonight!"
No one doubted his words, and after the attack on the Black Mountain Army in the past few days, the Yizhou cavalry was completely convinced by Zhang He.
Having never fought such a painful battle, it was completely abusing and killing the opponent, and the Yizhou cavalry was full of confidence in Zhang He, no matter what kind of enemy he was in front of, he could destroy it.
"Kill!"
Under Zhang He's order, more than 5,000 Yizhou cavalry rushed into the camp of the Black Mountain Army like a torrent in the night.
The panicked and helpless Black Mountain sergeant met the excited and long-standing Yizhou cavalry, and the result was self-evident, and a massacre began again.
A raging fire burned in the heart of a general at this time.
200,000 people, what a great credit it would be to be able to break them? He looked at the Chinese army through the layers of camp tents, this is my Zhang He's chance, and it's also my chance! As long as Tao Sheng's head is taken, there will be a place for me in this army in the future!
"All the soldiers obey the order, don't care about these ordinary soldiers, let's go straight to the Chinese army!"
"No!"
For the order of this nameless general of the state, the more than 2,000 horsemen under his command also obeyed unconditionally, followed him, like a sharp knife into the big tent of the Chinese army.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Tao Sheng stood uneasily, looking left and right from time to time, and in contrast to Jia Zhen, who was in his hands on the victory.
"Jia Zhen, this plan can really succeed."
"The general can rest assured, nothing goes wrong."
Unlike the chaos and noise around it, the Chinese army's tent was surrounded by darkness and silence, surrounded by 2,000 elite armorers with black scarves and strong armor, and 8,000 sturdy Montenegrin soldiers with swords.
The elite armor soldiers in armor were the elite soldiers selected by Tao Sheng from 200,000 people, they were silent, solemn and firm, and there was no trace of dazedness in their expressions.
Tao Sheng didn't have the ability to scorch, so he trained a group of dead soldiers of the Montenegrin Army who were not afraid of pain and had infinite strength, but he also had a group of elites under his command.
This batch of elites was trained by Tao Sheng, well-equipped, and more importantly, they have crazy killing intent, and they will not regret even if they die.
In order to train them, Tao Sheng often attacked villages, and every time he broke a village, he would capture all the people and give them to practice their hands, or fight with their bare hands, or with a pair of three villagers armed with wooden sticks.
In order to refine this army, no less than 50,000 people died, and this was the first time Tao Sheng asked them to fight.
In order to eliminate that damn group of Yizhou cavalry, he also invested a lot of money.
"No general can resist such temptation."
Yes, the immortal feats of the 200,000 rebels, the great opportunity of the Night Terror Battalion, no one can resist it, and Zhang He naturally can't either, because he couldn't imagine that the Black Mountain Army would pay such a big price to destroy the cavalry under his command.
Is the night terror of the Montenegrin army real, or was it deliberately caused by Jia Zhen. Because most of the time, the Yizhou Army takes advantage of it and leaves, so you don't know where to start. Only at this time can they rest assured that they will be bold and trapped.
Jia Zhen used the night terrors of the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army on the left and right flanks as bait to tempt Zhang He, and Zhang He also successfully took the bait. He ordered 2,000 elite armor soldiers and 8,000 strong Montenegrin soldiers near the Chinese army, of course, these people alone could not destroy the cavalry, but as long as they could trap and entangle this cavalry.
Supplemented by the remaining more than 500 cavalry, he can have enough time to mobilize more soldiers of the Black Mountain Army, so that even if Zhang He's cavalry is iron-beaten, Jia Zhen has the confidence to eat him!
