Chapter 341: The Ferry
When he heard the sound of the trumpet, he remembered what he should do, so he hurriedly raised his axe again, let out a wild howl, and led his soldiers and horses in pursuit of the ferry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
That is, the Mongolian army was stunned for a while, Liu Dayong and Song Cheng led the rest of the generals, ran to the bridge, boarded the bridge one after another, and then retreated towards the east of the river, if Hua Lingchi did not stop just now, it is estimated that they would have caught up with them at this time, even if they retreated, I am afraid that most of the people will be lost in the west of the river, Liu Dayong and Song Cheng After going to the bridge, they turned their heads to look at the Mongolian army that had just started, and they all wiped a handful of sweat, and their hearts were taken care of by God! Then he shouted at his men and quickened his escape towards the east of the river.
Gao Huaiyuan has been paying attention to the situation in Hexi, he is nervous to death at this moment, he is even a little desperate, thinking that Liu Dayong and the crossbow Xiongwu may be over, this is three thousand people! Even if it's used as bait, it's too much bait! Gao Huaiyuan has even begun to blame himself, complaining that he didn't fully consider it when he started to formulate this plan, so that he had to lose so many soldiers and generals in vain, especially Liu Dayong, this guy has already become a tiger general, and it is really too much of a loss to die in Hexi like this!
But when he saw that Liu Dayong was stunned and led the army to block the first charge of the Mongolian army, and the Mongolian army also began to retreat and was ready to charge again, he even ordered Ming Jin, so that Liu Dayong could quickly withdraw his troops and take advantage of this opportunity to withdraw to the east bank, but before he could give the order, he saw Liu Dayong and the gang of people in the crossbow male battalion suddenly running towards the bridge like a battalion, Gao Huaiyuan almost laughed.
This kid! It's not a dead brain! Hehe! Liu Dayong, Liu Dayong! How should this official remember your credit? Gao Huaiyuan's heart was immediately placed in his stomach.
Someone came, and ordered Fu Daquan to prepare to receive the soldiers and horses who came back! Cover them to retreat to a safe place to regroup! After Gao Huaiyuan laughed, he immediately ordered.
The standard-bearer of the herald immediately waved the flag at the 2,000-foot army of the Flying Tiger Army, which had already been arrayed.
After Fu Daquan was warned by Gao Huaiyuan in the morning, he now put away the messy thoughts in his heart and devoted himself to the battlefield, Gao Huaiyuan gave him a very simple task, that is, to receive the soldiers and horses withdrawn from Hexi, and when the Mongolian army crossed the river to pursue, block the Mongolian army, so that the withdrawn soldiers and horses could retreat to a safe place to form a team.
And this task is not simple, if you are not careful, you may be broken through by the Mongol Tartars and catch up with the friendly forces crossing the river, in that case, the losses of the Song army will be great, and a battle to lure the enemy will not be done because of his mistakes, the whole plan will be disrupted and turn into a rout.
So Ren Daquan, who had cleaned up his mood, didn't dare to be sloppy, pointed out the two thousand most elite subordinates under his command this time, took them to the bridgehead, and made all preparations.
After seeing the flag words of the flag bearer, Fu Daquan turned over his war horse, lifted his broadsword, and shouted to his generals: It's time for our Flying Tiger Army to show its face! Brothers, give me some spirits, don't fucking lose the people of the Flying Tigers! Let the big marshal see, our Flying Tiger Army is not a bad breed! Give the Tartars a try!
Most of the generals of the Flying Tiger Army are very young, and most of them are from Crouching Tiger Village, and they have long been holding back their strength, wanting to show their faces in front of Gao Huaiyuan, and now the opportunity has finally come, although this time they are just asking them to meet the friendly army and defeat them, but they also want to do a good job, and the province makes Gao Huaiyuan disappointed in them.
And the training of the Flying Tiger Army is not worse than that of the Song Army under Gao Huaiyuan, and these soldiers have been in Jingdong for many years, and they are also very experienced in the southern and northern wars, and they are not afraid to go into battle to kill the enemy. We've all got it in mind! Wait and see!
Fu Daquan stabilized his mood immediately, no matter whether he was happy or not, he had to put down his mood now and face this battle, otherwise, all he had gained would be lost again, and he could only let go of his hand in order to make Gao Huaiyuan change his opinion of him again.
He also saw the sharpness of the Mongolian army on the east bank of the river just now, if he couldn't stop this group of Mongolian troops, then there was no need to say anything more.
Archers come forward, prepare your arrows! Fu Daquan gave the order, and the archers under his command were immediately brought to the front and lined up at the ferry.
Lift up the rejection horse and be ready to block the bridgehead at any time! Fu Daquan then ordered.
So someone carried the improvised piece of rejection horse to the head of the bridge and placed it at the end of the crowded bridge, ready to block the bridge at any time.
Liu Dayong urged the soldiers to cross the river quickly, and he also squeezed on the bridge deck under the protection of the guards, after all, it was a temporary bridge, after so many vehicles and people and horses stepped on, the bridge deck was not very stable, walking on it made people worry, every moment someone accidentally fell off the bridge, and the iron armor worn for the soldiers who fell into the river, it was a disaster, no matter how good your water is, it is impossible to swim across the river with dozens of pounds of iron armor, can only be dragged by the iron armor and sink to the bottom of the water, Therefore, although the Song army was rushing to cross the river, there were still some people who fell into the water because they fell into the water and died in the surging river.
Hua Lingchi led the cavalry under his command to roar, such a short distance, their war horses rushed to the bridgehead as soon as they made a force, and then caught up with the Song army that was left behind, but these backward people could not stop the wolf-like Mongolian cavalry in such a situation without a formation, when even if it was like chopping vegetables, it was swept under the blade of the Mongolian army, and became a mutilated corpse at the bridgehead.
Seeing that the Mongolian army was killed in front of them, but there were still some Song troops on the bridge who failed to reach the east bank of the river, and the Mongolian troops who slashed them behind made them panic and rushed forward desperately, and after Hua Lingchi led the troops to kill the backward Song soldiers, seeing that the Song army was about to cross the river, how could the Song army be allowed to escape so cheaply!
So he immediately ordered to seize the bridge and continue to chase and kill those defeated Song troops, in his opinion, although the Song army just showed good quality in the first battle of the bridge, but once it collapsed, they were no different from Peng Yibin's righteous army, they could only be slaughtered like lambs, this battle was too enjoyable, so far they have not been able to kill many Song troops, but they have also paid a lot of casualties, which makes every Mongolian soldier feel unacceptable, so they did not ask Shi Bu's opinion at all, followed the Song army to cover up and kill on the bridge.
Shi Bu still had a trace of doubts about whether to cross the river to pursue the Song army, because the performance of the Song army in the battle of the bridgehead just now exceeded his expectations, and he was a little afraid that this was a ploy of the Song army.
However, he was still hesitating, and saw that Hua Lingchi led the soldiers and horses to quickly kill a small number of backward Song troops, captured the bridgeheads of several crossing bridges, and killed the crossing bridge, so he turned his heart sideways, and immediately ordered the whole army to press up, control the crossing bridge, and then cross the river to pursue the Song army.
Although they have obtained a lot of Song army's baggage, but from a distance, in the distance on the east side of the river, there are still a large number of Song army vehicles, which have not yet crossed the river, and the Song army at this time is obviously completely warlike, like a group of frightened lambs, scurrying around on the east bank of the river, the scene is very chaotic, only a few soldiers and horses are organized, it seems to be trying to block the bridge.
The situation on the battlefield is often changing rapidly, as long as the slightest hesitation, it may delay the fighter, and this battle is still far from the result that Shi Bu expected, they are far from harming the main force of the Song army, only killed less than 2,000 Song troops, so even if the result is to grab some baggage, it will not reach the extent that the Song army reinforcements are injured, and it is entirely possible for the Song army to regain its strength, gather and continue to cross the river in another place, in that case, he will not be able to explain to Polu.
Therefore, Shi Bu hesitated for a short time, and then made up his mind to cross the river and pursue the Song army until the Song army was dispersed, so that they could no longer help Enzhou, and Enzhou City became the second isolated Jizhou City.
Come on, quickly cross the river to pursue, Bal Hu, after you cross the river, lead the army to control the bridge, there must be no loss! Although Shi Bu was determined to cross the river to pursue the Song army, he was very experienced after all, and knew that once he was ambushed by the Song army after crossing the river, then only these few bridges were their way back, otherwise, they were likely to be stranded in the east of the river, and it would probably not be easy to return to Enzhou City when the time came, so Shi Bu still thought of this matter in his busy schedule, and specially arranged for a commander to lead the troops to guard several bridges, leaving a way back for them.
Liu Dayong backhanded a Mongolian cavalry that rushed behind him, commanding the soldiers around him to reflexively block the pursuers behind him on the bridge, but under the impact of the Mongolian cavalry, they quickly collapsed again, and many soldiers were hit by the Mongolian cavalry and fell into the river like dumplings, but fortunately, it was almost to the east bank, the river was not deep, and the soldiers who fell into the water were not afraid that they would be drowned, so they struggled to climb the east bank.
Seeing that the Mongolian army had chased to the east of the bridge, and the Song army had basically crossed the river on the bridge, Fu Daquan immediately ordered to block the bridge, so the soldiers under his command who had already prepared immediately carried the horses, blocked the east end of several bridges, and used guns and shields to stop the Mongolian soldiers from rushing over.
At this time, those archers also began to fire arrows at several bridges at the sound of an order, which stopped the pace of Hua Lingchi's pursuit.
