Chapter 903: Playing with the rebels
readx; Qin Liangyu and Ma Qianxue at the head of the city couldn't help but sink their hearts when they saw that the cavalry army led by Yu Chongming personally charged the official army. www.biquge.info From the bottom of their hearts, they really wanted to help these officers and soldiers, but reason told them that the white pole soldiers of Shi Yan were only a few thousand, and they were extremely tired, and if they went out of the city at this time, let alone rendezvous with the officers and soldiers, even the rebel camp would not be able to rush through, and they could only be sent to death in vain.
Therefore, Qin Liangyu could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that this official army could retreat as soon as possible. Ma Qianxue saw that Yu Chongming's mount was getting closer and closer to the white-robed young general of the official army, and even covered her eyes with her hands, not bearing to look at it again.
At this time, I saw that the white-robed young general waved his hand, and the officers and soldiers really began to retreat. But they retreated not in the direction of due east behind them, but diagonally to the south. Extravagant Chongming chased after him, almost catching the tail of this official army, but he still let the other party avoid this ferocious charge, and ran to the flank of the rebels at once.
Moreover, although the officers and soldiers were retreating, their hands did not stop for a moment, and sharp arrows were shot at the rebels like beads. Although Yu Chongming was extremely brave and sent all these arrows out, the native soldiers behind him were not so lucky, and more than ten horsemen were shot on their backs.
As soon as Yu Chongming missed, he immediately turned his horse's head and charged again, and the rest of the native soldiers also reacted at this time and pursued the official army to the south. This time, the officers and troops stopped going around in circles and went straight to the south.
But the defeat of the official army made the rebels dumbfounded. It turned out that their mounts were all Guizhou horses, that is, local horses produced in Guizhou and southern Sichuan. This kind of horse is short in stature, has excellent endurance, is good at mountaineering and load-bearing, and is far superior to the war horses of the official army if it fights in the mountains.
However, the current battlefield is a flat river, and the disadvantages of Qianma are revealed. Most of the war horses of the official army are Mongolian horses, and a small part are purebred Dawan horses, galloping up on the plain with four hooves raised, extremely miraculous, and in a blink of an eye, the pursuers are left behind.
"It's okay, it's okay, it scared me to death just now!" Ma Qianxue at the head of the city saw it clearly, let out a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "I'm really afraid that the white-robed young general will let Yu Chongming split it in half with one sword!" It seems that the rebels can't catch up with them, and now the officers and soldiers are safe. ”
Sure enough, Yu Chongming led his troops to chase after him for a while, but the officers and soldiers ran farther and farther. Seeing that it was impossible to catch up, Yu Chongming had to rein in his horse, looked at the direction where the official army was far away, spat fiercely, turned the horse's head stupidly, and slowly returned to the camp.
"Qianxue, did you see it?" Qin Liangyu at the head of the city smiled and said, "This officer army knows how to use its own advantages, and this harassment has made the rebels go viral, but not even a single officer or soldier has been killed. This is to use wisdom, not to fight bravely. My mother is getting older, your brother is still young, and one day you will have to take charge of the army alone. You have to keep in mind the tactics of this white-robed young general today. ”
Ma Qianxue is conceited and excellent in martial arts on weekdays, and he is indeed a little negligent in the study of the art of war. At this time, listening to his mother's intentions, he obviously praised the white-robed young general and criticized himself, and couldn't help but pouted and said slightly: "I think the white-robed young general is timid and doesn't dare to fight with Luxury Chongming, so he retreated." If you change your daughter, you will definitely have to fight with Yu Chongming for 300 rounds! Running away with his tail between his legs, what kind of hero is he! ”
Qin Liangyu frowned slightly, thinking that her daughter was good everywhere, but her heart was too arrogant, and no one paid attention to it. also blames himself for being too pampered with her, but now if he wants to pull it, he can't pull it all at once.
But before she could speak, Ma Qianxue suddenly opened her eyes in surprise and pointed into the distance and said, "Mother, they are back again!" ”
Sure enough, the more than 100 cavalry officers and soldiers were not blindly defeated, and when they saw the rebels turn their horses back to the camp, they immediately turned back. Relying on the speed of their horses, they once again rushed to a distance of about 100 paces from the rebels, and fired their bows and arrows. All the rebels, including Hao Chongming, did not expect that the official army would kill the horse pistol, and they were facing away from the official army, and for a while, many local soldiers were shot and fell.
Yu Chongming was furious and rushed forward again with a knife. The native soldiers didn't even touch the corners of the enemy's clothes, but they lost many brothers, and they were so angry that they screamed and followed Yu Chongming to charge.
The official army was defeated by repeating the old tricks, but the direction was changed to the east again, that is, they were defeated towards Longquan Mountain.
This time it was the same as the last time, the rebels couldn't catch up after chasing for a while, and even the men and horses were so tired that they were sweating, so they had to stop chasing.
However, it seems that the officers and soldiers are not much better, and many of them have even run away from their helmets. Maybe it was too hot, and many officers and soldiers took off their leather armor and military uniforms, discarded them on the battlefield at will, and became shirtless like Luxury Chongming, and even the white-robed young general was also naked. Seeing this, Ma Qianxue pouted disdainfully and said: "If you can't beat it, don't fight, you can't even care about armor and clothes, it's a shame!" ”
Qin Liangyu was thoughtful, and suddenly said slowly: "I see that this officer and army are not being chased embarrassed when they take off their clothes, but intentionally. They advance and retreat in two, and the physical exertion of the war horse is very large, and discarding the armor can minimize the load and save horsepower. It seems that they don't want to retreat at all! ”
While he was talking, the officers and soldiers really returned again. This time, Yu Chongming also understood a little, knowing that he couldn't catch up at all, so he simply didn't chase it, so he had to lead the army back to the camp in disgrace. He led the army into battle this time and brought out all the 5,000 cavalry under his command, but not only did not a single enemy soldier be injured, but he lost nearly 100 people, until he turned over and dismounted, he was still so angry that he stomped his feet again and again!
However, this official army has no intention of stopping, and in the words of the common people, it is really a bit of "kicking the nose in the face". They rushed to a distance of only fifty paces outside the gate of the rebel camp, dismounted in a good time, and picked up all the arrows that had fallen to the ground!
This time it made the rebels angry, and before Yu Chongming could speak, a general rushed out with dozens of horsemen, trying to kill the officers and soldiers by surprise.
But the officers and soldiers are waiting for this moment. Almost instantly, everyone turned on their horses, brushed their bows and arrows, and fired their arrows at the same time as the rebels rushed less than twenty paces away. A rain of blood immediately flew on the opposite side, and more than a dozen people were hit by arrows and fell off their horses.
Immediately afterwards these officers and troops retreated, but not completely turned, but diagonally to the southeast. The cavalry of the rebels also fired their bows and arrows on their horses, but their archery skills were far worse than that of this army, and seven or eight times out of ten they missed, and the few that shot on target were also shot down by the officers and soldiers with their weapons.
Seeing that this sneak attack failed, they could no longer catch up with the official army, and the rebels had no choice but to rein in their horses.
What is annoying is that as soon as they reined in their horses, before they could return to the camp, the officers and soldiers also reined in their horses and pressed up unhurriedly again!
