Chapter Seventy-Eight: Winning the Battle
When Liu Qin led the team to rush out of the valley, a sudden opening up in front of him, the boundless plain was in front of him, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to the pro-army around him very proudly: "Although the enemy army expected our intentions, it is a pity that they still committed the taboo of underestimating the enemy, if they can deploy another reinforcement, we still have to be driven back to the north slope."

The pro-military battalion officer pointed to the small group of Jin cavalry that was defeated and retreated: "General, to chase or not to chase?" β
Liu Qin instructed: "Send an order to the rear army, speed up through the valley, and assemble in front of the mountainγγγγγ Before the words fell, his face suddenly changed, and there was a sudden fire in front of him, but a few miles away, the Jin army all over the mountains appeared like ghosts, shouting and killing, and rushed towards his team.
"General, do you still give orders?"
"Give the order quickly, the whole army will assault, in the direction of Lishi City, kill me. The pro-military camp stayed to protect the valley mouth, and the enemy army must not be allowed to block the passage," Liu Qin shouted with a hideous face. He knew that his fate was hanging by a thread at this time, and he must rush out with the cavalry team, as long as he rushed out, he would be able to leap with the fish, and the sky would be high for the birds to fly, and if he couldn't rush out, he could only sit and wait for death.
At this time, the Jin army brigade also desperately launched a charge and pressed up, wanting to seal the valley mouth and block the enemy's escape route.
Yang Ke watched the battle situation coldly from Tang Bin, Yang Ke said: "Our strength is on par with the enemy's army, and it is not dominant, not to mention that the other party is cavalry, we must seal the valley mouth, as long as they are blocked, it will be a victory, don't care about the team that has rushed out, concentrate all the forces to trap the valley mouth, Brother Confucianism, it's time to use the antler array, I will bring a bow and crossbow battalion to suppress the formation." β
Tang Bin also saw at a glance that Yang Ke's decision was completely correct, and nodded without hesitation: "I'll go in person, and Gongzi will be in command." After speaking, without waiting for Yang Ke to answer, he led his generals out of the formation and led the army to the valley mouth.
Liu Qin watched his subordinates speed up the march and rushed out of the valley, although the enemy army was surrounded and trapped on the left, but the cavalry was strong, seeing that more than a thousand people had rushed out and joined the battle group, Liu Qin seemed to see victory in sight, and a smile almost appeared on his face, but suddenly, his dream was shattered. With the change of drums and orders, the enemy army is no longer to intercept and kill the more than 1,000 horsemen who rushed out, but rushed to the front of the valley in rows alternately, forming a half-moon-shaped encirclement, and countless antlers fell from the sky, and in a moment, the valley mouth was covered with dense antler arrays, and their own cavalry troops were in chaos, the neighing of war horses was endless, and pieces of war horses and cavalry fell in the antler formation of the valley mouth.
The situation on the battlefield changed immediately, and Liu Qin's pro-barracks officer shouted: "Resist me, you must protect the valley mouth." β
Liu Qin shook his head: "It's too late, forcing through can only be cut off by the other party, change the military order, quickly retreat to the valley, and retreat to the northeast." β
The pro-soldier battalion officer hurriedly said: "General, then our whole army will be blocked north of the north slope, and it is still too late, we will escort the general and you rush out first, and the rear army will speed through, and you can rush over as much as you can." β
"Fart..." Liu Qin was in a hurry and scolded, "The cavalry is all gone, even if Lao Tzu can return to Shicheng, do you still have the face to see the handsome, retreat immediately, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." β
Liu Qin's words did not fall, the Jin army's Chinese army suddenly appeared in rows of black-armored warriors, they were carrying a bow different from the ordinary soldiers, it turned out to be a crossbow, with the command of the drum, the crossbow arrows rained down from the sky, and the head and face fell into the already chaotic Hun cavalry array, only a few rounds of arrow rain down, Taniguchi has left down hundreds of corpses, what is even more terrifying is that the opponent's crossbow archers are shooting in turns, the first row retreats immediately after shooting, and the second row rushes forward to fill the position, at the same time, The third row is ready to be substituted, and so on and so forth, there is no time to stop. Liu Qin had never heard of or seen this kind of fighting, and he knew that if he hesitated for a moment, the troops would have to bomb the camp, and it would be a more terrible thing than killing and injuring some of his subordinates. Liu Qin yelled: "The rear team becomes the front team, withdraw immediatelyγγγγγγ The order was passed back like a snowball, and the Hun cavalry, which had already poked its head out, shrank back into the valley and desperately retreated. Only the more than 1,000 cavalry that had rushed out were still rushing left and right, seeing that it was hopeless to converge with the men and horses of the headquarters, and the main general was also cut off, these more than 1,000 people immediately turned into stragglers, each of them scattered and fled from different directions. Tang Bin didn't give the order to chase, but just ordered his subordinates to give an order and surrounded the valley mouth.
Yang Ke looked at the black-armored warriors beside him, these were the elite soldiers trained by Tang Bin in the gourd valley that day, and their equipment was also smashed out by Yang Ke at the expense of work and money, just a pair of strong crossbows with each person, looking for the entire army of the Jin Dynasty, no second army could afford to use it, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at this moment, like the last straw that overwhelmed Liu Qin's cavalry, and won the victory in one fell swoop. He breathed a sigh of relief, won this local battle that was related to the overall situation, and finally occupied the initiative of the entire battle, which was also his first victory on the battlefield, which was of great significance.
When Ma Xiong woke up, his first reaction was to reach out and touch the weapon, but he grabbed it empty, accompanied by a violent cough, a sharp pain in his chest, and a blackness in front of his eyes. In the haze, seeing Yang Ke and Tang Bin standing beside him, his tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he fainted again.
Yang Ke looked at the medical officer and asked, "How is it?" The Major General is out of the way, right? β
The military medical officer bowed down and said: "The major general suffered an internal injury, but it didn't touch the viscera, but the chest was hit by a hard object and left bruises. β
Yang Ke nodded and asked the medical officer to step back first. Tang Bin said to Yang Ke: "Thanks to the young general, he immediately launched an attack and bought us time, but more than half of the casualties of these 3,000 cavalry are really distressing." β
Yang Ke comforted: "Although the casualties are heavy, they are worth it, but we have to learn a lesson and think carefully about how to improve the combat strength of the cavalry, so as not to suffer such a big loss in the future." β
When the two were summing up the battle examples, the pro-army entered the account and reported: "The messenger of the great general has arrived." β
Yang Ke said to Tang Bin: "The general's original idea was to use the major general as bait, and we responded to attract the Hun cavalry to pursue the main force, and then gather and annihilate it, but now the situation has changed, we will block the Hun cavalry outside the north slope, and then we have to discuss with the general how to fight next." β
"Let's send the messenger first, and let's see what the general's order is." After Tang Bin finished speaking, he instructed his soldiers: "Please let the messenger enter the account." β
