Chapter 148: Those who can work more to cover up
Lü Zhen's elite cavalry unit and the soldiers of the elite infantry unit are not cowards, they are already good at fighting and killing Mongolian cavalry and infantry, but it is really inappropriate to throw their lives here before the decisive battle between the two sides.

Of course, it is useless for them to feel inappropriate and unworthy as other people's subordinates and ordinary soldiers, as long as Zheng Defeng, who is the commander, does not order the retreat, or does not command the army to retreat, they will all continue to entangle with the Mongolian infantry and cavalry!
It's just that Lu Zhen didn't believe wrong, and neither did Su Zedong, Zheng Defeng can indeed cherish the soldiers, know how to seize the opportunity, and be able to seize the opportunity on the battlefield!
When it is time to attack, it is absolutely unambiguous to be brave, but when the troops are collected, the battle will be out of control, and when it is unpredictable, the troops must be withdrawn!
However, if the soldiers of Lu Zhen's elite cavalry and infantry units have the ability to suppress the attack of the Mongolian cavalry or infantry, and can do it with one enemy and five enemies, they will also be like the ghost soldiers in the Mingjiao Juyi Hall, and they will definitely not be stingy to show themselves!
Under the absolute suppression of strength, Lu Zhen's troops will inevitably use all their strength, and they have to break the net with the Mongolian army, even if the Mongolian soldiers have an absolute advantage of more than 100,000 people, they will try their best to gnaw this hard bone!
But there is still a gap between reality and ideas.
Lu Zhen's more than 10,000 subordinates have not undergone the inhuman training of "devils" like the members of the ghost soldiers;
They also do not have the skillful and courageous combat methods of the members of the ghost soldiers and the combat strategies that have been advanced for nearly a hundred years;
Nor have they played Keju together, nor have they enjoyed the ability to break through the tight defense of the opposing team and "send" the ball into the goal with a cohesive and fluid co-operation of the whole team.
These are all things that Lu Zhen's subordinates lacked, and for a long time, these gaps were irreparable;
At least in terms of consciousness, in terms of the ideological consciousness of the commander and the supreme ruler, Lu Zhen and Zhang Shicheng have no way to be like Su Zedong and Cheng Zeheng, Zheng Defeng and others who have been cultivated by him!
Zheng Defeng saw that the Mongol army was temporarily defeated and scattered by the elite army of the Han people who had a rapid impact and strong battles led by him, and saw that the reinforcements of the Mongol army were rushing to the battlefield in front of him non-stop, so he immediately made a decision and ordered the whole army to retreat!
And the members of the ghost army naturally knew that they themselves had to work hard for the capable, and they had to cover for Lu Zhen's elite cavalry troops and infantry troops;
This is their inherent responsibility, and it is also one of the purposes of Zheng Defeng, as a "captain", to let them fight in Lu Zhen's cavalry troops.
In the last battle, many people in the ghost army saw that the casualties of Lu Zhen's troops were relatively heavy, and most of them couldn't bear it in their hearts;
Everyone is Han Chinese, and they all went to the battlefield for the same purpose, that is, to defeat the Mongols, so naturally they need to help each other and take care of each other!
On the battlefield, taking care of each other requires the ability to take care of each other, and it is the strong who take the initiative to help the weak in the same team out of affection and willingness;
In the face of the arrogant cavalry of the Mongol army and the arrogant infantry, the members of the ghost army were either out of affection or will;
They were all willing to listen to Zheng Defeng's arrangements before the battle, and took the initiative to block behind the elite infantry of Lu Zhen's troops to cover their retreat.
Speaking of cover, Zheng Defeng could also see that the members of the ghost army under his command were protecting the elite infantry of Lu Zhen's troops, letting them withdraw to the fight with the Mongolian army, and let them withdraw to a safe place safely!
Then they all returned to Gaoyou City completely, returned to Lu Zhen's side, and after returning to him, they would return to their families......
If the Mongols suffered a loss, they would eat two or even three times, four times or even more times in a row, then the Mongols would not be able to survive in the wilderness, the grassland, and the Gobi Desert, where the environment is the harshest and the most wild beasts and birds of prey.
In the same way, if the Mongols were defeated once, twice, or even three or four times in a row by an army led by a general, on the battlefield;
Then it is absolutely impossible for the Mongol army to win so many wars on the battlefields of the Central Plains and Europe, and achieve a super empire across the Eurasian territory!
The reinforcements of the Mongol cavalry did not wait for the infantry of Lü Zhen's troops to completely withdraw from the melee, and they glared angrily at their eyes that radiated fierce light and anger;
The Mongol cavalry, wielding sabers in their hands and wearing the light battle suits they often wear, were riding small but high-impact Mongol horses, roaring and galloping towards the Han army!
After seeing the arrival of reinforcements, the cavalry and infantry of the Mongol vanguard who were defeated by the Han army, that is, most of them by the members of the ghost soldiers, immediately seemed to have gone crazy and seemed to have lost their reason;
The Mongol infantry began to slash at the soldiers of the Han army with sabers in a random manner.
Their intention was obvious, to disrupt the retreating Han Chinese army, that is, Lü Zhen's elite infantry unit, in order to gain time for their reinforcements to arrive and take over the battlefield.
The cavalry, which the Mongol army was proud of, began to abandon all tactics and tactics when they saw the desperate fighting methods of their infantry;
The Mongol cavalry was no longer beaten and retreated by the infantry of the Ghost Soldiers, but their faces changed from fear and panic, and began to become fierce and crazy.
After struggling to get rid of the entanglement with the members of the ghost army, the Mongol cavalry took over the Mongol infantry and attacked the left flank of the Han army, that is, the retreating elite infantry of Lü Zhen, so as to cooperate with it to block the retreating position of the front and flank of the Han army.
However, this way of fighting by the Mongols was only a temporary delaying tactic, as long as the Han army that was scattered and disrupted by them eased and straightened, and then reorganized the team to launch a new round of attack.
In this way, even if the Mongol cavalry and infantry still have a certain advantage in numbers, the chance of being slashed and beheaded increases exponentially.
"The Mongols are going to fight to the death, and they are going to swallow their own soldiers!"
In the rear of Lu Zhen's elite infantry unit, Zheng Defeng, who commanded the army to fight, quickly realized this, and his heart did not tighten!
At this time, he had long forgotten whether the Han soldiers under his command belonged to him and the identity of the troops under Lu Zhen, anyway, their fate was now in his own hands, and he Zheng Defeng was naturally responsible for their lives!
However, the current situation is that if Zheng Defeng insists on letting Lu Zhen's elite infantry retreat, then the members of the ghost army with the same roots as him will face the danger of being surrounded by the Mongolian cavalry and infantry!
And in the absence of reinforcements, and the number of people is at a disadvantage, if they have the ability to fight a thousand people, otherwise they will definitely die on the battlefield today!
And if Zheng Defeng didn't give the order to retreat quickly and let Lu Zhen's troops retreat first, then after the Mongol reinforcements arrived, it would be even more impossible if he still thought about withdrawing to the moat with the current small casualties!
After Wu Yi killed more than 300 Mongol soldiers entangled in pillboxes and iron fences in the rear of the army, he also observed the battle not far away.
Wu Yiyi really wanted to take the hundred veterans of the most elite ghost army and the remaining elite infantry troops of Lu Zhen with him now, and then take advantage of the victory to pursue and break the net with the Mongolian reinforcements!
However, Wu Yi quickly thought that last time he caused the mass casualties of Lu Zhen's elite cavalry because of the impulsiveness of himself and his teammates in the ghost army, this was his debt to Lu Zhen and Zheng Defeng, so this time, he didn't want to make such a mistake again!
What's more, from Zheng Defeng's gaze in front of him, Wu Yiyi couldn't read at all that he wanted him to lead his more than 400 people to rush to the rescue, but saw that he wanted him to stay still and treat the situation calmly!
Wu Yiyi also has his own judgment ability, he is also a person who has served in the army, he knows the methods of the Mongols;
Wu Yiyi understood that if he recklessly led the hundreds of soldiers under his command to rush forward again, although on the surface it would expand the area of confrontation with the Mongol army, but in fact, they would not only not be able to help them resist the attack of the Mongol army;
On the contrary, it will make this group of bloodthirsty Mongols more determined in their hearts to destroy and conquer the Han army in front of them, which will invisibly increase the difficulty of Lu Zhen's elite infantry troops to retreat, and even Wu Yiyi and others can't escape!
The Mongol reinforcements arrived, and whether the eighty-six members of the ghost army who had been surrounded were willing to do it or not, the battlefield they were on and the position they were standing on had been blocked by the Mongols, and perhaps, the only thing that awaited them was death!
They didn't rest on their laurels!
Since the Mongol army was able to launch a frantic attack when it was in a difficult situation, even if it had to pay the price of more casualties, they still did not give up their desire to pull more Han cavalry off their horses and cut down more Han infantry!
Mongolian soldiers can do this, after professional systematic training and deep touching, they already have a sense of belonging to Juyitang and the ghost soldiers in their hearts, and the members of the ghost soldiers who have a sense of identity with Zheng Defeng, Cheng Zeheng, Zhang Dexing, Su Zedong and Liu Zhenming can also do it!
Zhao Dacang, who was older than the new members of the Ghost Soldier Team, shouted, "Brothers of the Ghost Soldier Team! We're going to play with the Mongolian puppies today! If you die, you have to pull down a few pads! ”
