Chapter 518: Heavy Losses

The guard had been waiting here for seven days, and the seven days of waiting had tormented not only the guard, but all the assault battalion soldiers who had been with him, but their wait had come to an end on the seventh day!

The Beifu soldiers were defeated and retreated, the first to come into sight was the original front army of the Beifu soldiers, Liu Gaozhi's descendant troops, followed by the foot soldiers of the Beifu soldiers, the two groups of people together had thirty or forty thousand people, and these thirty or forty thousand people, the vast majority of them were like headless flies just following others in retreat, and it seemed that they didn't know what was going on at all!

"Everyone prepare, Liu Jiaozhi should be broken off by the cavalry of the Beifu soldiers, the first thing we have to do is to cooperate with the cavalry of the Beifu soldiers to contain the pursuit of the Jingzhou army!" When it came to the end, Wei Jiejie threw away all the distractions in his heart and ordered in an orderly manner.

In just half an hour, the sound of horses' hooves reached the ears of Wei Jie's and others, and the cavalry retreating from the Beifu soldiers also arrived, and the 20,000 cavalry of the Beifu soldiers had already lost nearly half of them at this time, and the Wei Rank no longer thought about what had happened, so that the cavalry of the Beifu soldiers suffered such heavy losses, because he had no time to think about this problem!

Closely following behind the Beifu soldiers is the pursuing Jingzhou army cavalry, looking at its formation, the number of people is not much different from the Beifu soldiers, but one has been exhausted, but the other is like a rainbow!

From time to time, people on both sides fell from the back of the horse, and then life and death are unknown, and with the order of the guard, the stumbling rope prepared by the soldiers of the assault battalion in advance, the trap of the horse pit and many other traps were almost launched at the first time after the Beifu cavalry passed, and most of the Jingzhou cavalry who rushed to the front were killed and injured in an instant, and the charging formation was also blocked, and the Jingzhou cavalry behind had to stop.

"Kill back, kill back!"

Without the Jingzhou army pressing forward step by step, the Beifu soldiers and cavalry also stopped, turned their horses' heads, and put on a charging formation, and from time to time there were Beifu soldiers shouting hoarsely with a half-crying voice.

In this battle, the Beifu soldiers and cavalry lost nearly half, and almost everyone who survived had familiar comrades who died in this battle, and it was not terrible to lose, and death was not terrible, but this battle was lost too much, and these comrades and siblings died too worthless!

Liu Gaozhi won the first battle, but the cavalry of the Beifu Army Headquarters charged in front, but he desperately pursued with the descendants brought from Qingzhou, and hurriedly ordered to retreat after encountering an ambush, and did not order the cavalry to block at the first time, and after realizing that he could not get rid of the pursuit of the cavalry of the Jingzhou army, he issued an order to let the cavalry turn around and block!

And this U-turn, the opportunity was lost, the Beifu cavalry could only fight and retreat, and finally suffered heavy losses, even so, the losses of the Jingzhou cavalry were not under the Beifu cavalry, but followed by the Jingzhou cavalry, and there were 50,000 main Chinese troops commanded by Huan Xuan himself!

"Deputy Commander of the Guard..."

Just when the soldiers and cavalry of the Beifu soldiers were excited and wanted to fight back desperately, the guards led the soldiers of the assault battalion to the front of the formation, and the generals who commanded the Beifu cavalry obviously knew the guards and shouted with a little excitement.

"You're..."Wei Jie's eyes were fixed, this was a young general under thirty years old, and he looked very familiar.

"The last general, General Sun Wuzhong, the deputy general Pang Yun!" Pang Yun turned over and dismounted, bowed his head and said.

"After the death of General Sun, Duke An let the last general temporarily take the position of General Sun and lead the cavalry!"

"Why are you so embarrassed? Didn't you know anything about the ambush of the Jingzhou army? Wei Jie asked with a frown.

According to the plan in situ, even if Hou Liangsheng's strategy is successful, after Zhang Xiong fights the grass and startles the snake, Liu Gaozhi should also be vigilant and precautionary, if he breaks off with cavalry early, even if the momentum is not as good as that and if he is defeated, he will not be so embarrassed and suffer such heavy losses!

"I don't know!" Pang Yun said miserably.

"The last general has just been following the military orders of Commander Liu, deputy commander, now that our army's position is stable, I implore the deputy commander to give an order, let the last general kill back and avenge the dead siblings!"

"Does General Pang still want to lose half of his siblings?" Wei Jie's voice was cold.

On the battlefield, the cavalry is indeed powerful, many times it is invincible, but the cavalry is not invincible, not to mention that the cavalry of the Beifu soldiers has suffered heavy casualties now, it is really the end of the strong crossbow, with Hou Liangsheng's style, the combat power of the Beifu soldiers is well known, and they will not be unprepared.

"Stop them, and we'll win the battle!"

The meaning of Wei Jie's words, Pang Yun naturally didn't understand, but Pang Yun had always been by Sun Wuzhong's side, and Wei Jie's words were still very authoritative to him, otherwise he wouldn't have called Wei Jie's deputy commander as soon as they met!

In the hearts of the generals of Sun Wuzhong's line, Wei Jie has always been the deputy commander of the Beifu soldiers, the first person under Xie Xuan!

"The Deputy Commander..."

Wei Jie's hand waved his hand to stop Pang Yun from continuing, he didn't correct Pang Yun's title, he has not been the deputy commander of the Beifu soldiers for a long time, but now the Beifu soldiers are disheartened, if a title can strengthen their cohesion, it doesn't hurt to shout!

"General Pang, let the wounded retreat and rest, and after a short rest, retreat to the Jingkou base camp, and divide the uninjured into two teams, one team will also go to rest, and the other team will follow the guard ranks to hold this position!"

"Yes!"

The appearance of the guard rank, as if to give these cavalry of the Beifu soldiers a backbone, although Pang Yun temporarily replaced Sun Wuzhong as the commander of the cavalry, but his prestige was not enough to make him the spiritual leader in the eyes of everyone, coupled with the panic on the way, most of the cavalry's hearts were actually at a loss.

After the cavalry charge of the Jingzhou army was frustrated, they stopped the pursuit, and then lined up on the spot, which was also a defensive formation, and the guard level understood that this was waiting for the arrival of the main Chinese army led by Huan Xuan!

"Deputy Commander, the brothers have something to say to you!"

After everything was in order, Pang Yun led several generals to Wei Jie's side, and said with a sad and indignant expression.

"What's the matter, General Pang? There is nothing to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it! Wei Jie's heart already had some guesses, but Pang Yun didn't say anything, and it was inconvenient for him to find out.

"The brothers want to ask the deputy commander to return to Jingkou to regain military power from Liu Gaozhi, and correct Liu Gaozhi, a traitor to the Beifu soldiers, on the spot!" Pang Yun said excitedly, and several generals on the side also kept nodding in agreement.

"Traitor?" Wei Jie's eyes were slightly stunned.

"When did Commander Liu become a traitor to the Beifu soldiers?"
