Chapter 37 (I) Breaking the Enemy
(ps: Go to the local customs to do a 3k party scam click, today it is said that there are two more, and the first one is here.) )
"Whew! Shout! Shout! Shout! Shout! Woooo ”
Countless troops were consumed, and I didn't know how many knights were left behind, and finally survived until the light cavalry of the Gentleman's Army broke and fled, and the excited cavalry of the Zhenrong rebels just howled and pounced on the heavy cavalry of the Junzi Army that was moving relatively slowly, and the heavy cavalry of the Gentleman's Army, which basically did not shoot from the battle to the present, began to exert its power again, and the same as the light cavalry of the Gentleman's Army, it was also crazy to turn around and release arrows in the galloping of horses, and hundreds of arrow rains poured arrow rain on the cavalry of the Zhenrong rebels all the time. Unable to fight back or dodge, the poor rebel soldiers screamed and fell from their horses to the sound of arrows breaking through the air, either dead or wounded.
"Rush! Rush me! The Bodhisattva was completely enraged, brandishing his saber just to urge the cavalry to pursue, and kept shouting in his mouth, "Capture Tao Ying'er alive, reward a thousand gold!" Kill one enemy and get a reward of 10 gold! ”
"Senior Brother Great Protector! Senior Brother Great Protector! After chasing for another three or five miles, a rebel general finally found out that something was wrong, rushed to the side of Zhen Rong and shouted: "Great Protector, we can't chase anymore, our team is too badly behind, and the formation is too scattered, and if we chase it down, we won't have many people!" ”
Zhen Rong turned his head in surprise and looked around, and found that on the dusty battlefield, there were indeed not many of his own cavalry, and the cavalry was still falling behind in the pursuit, and the southeast direction could not be seen at a glance, all of his own cavalry corpses, horse corpses and straggler soldiers, as for his own infantry, he didn't know where he was thrown to. Nervous, Zhen Rong hurriedly shouted: "Look at it, how many cavalry do we have left?" ”
No one could answer the question of Zhenrong, under the twilight sky, the battlefield was raining arrows, people were turning on their backs, dust was flying, the rebel cavalry was constantly falling from arrows, constantly charging and falling behind, human corpses, horse corpses, wounded soldiers and broken flags were paved in a straight line on the road, and there was no end in sight. In this case, it is difficult for anyone to confirm how many casualties the rebels have now, how many troops are left, and how many troops can be gathered, and the only thing that Jirong can confirm is that the cavalry around him is definitely less than a thousand, and the absolute superiority in strength has disappeared without a trace in the long and fierce pursuit battle!
"Can't chase anymore!" Discovering this, even though it was the first time he had encountered such strange tactics, the old Bodhisattva still came to his senses and yelled and ordered: "Stop! Stop the pursuit! Mingjin! Mingjin! Collect the troops! Collect the troops! ”
"Bell bell!"
Hearing this sound, the already exhausted rebel cavalry reined in their horses and turned around and retreated the way they came. Still hearing this voice, Lin Qing, who had already decided to live and die with Tao Ying, quickly wiped away his tears, turned his head and widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Why did the Zhengrong dog thief sing gold?" Our light cavalry fled, and there were only more than 300 horsemen left, as long as we caught up with us, we would win?! ”
Tao Ying put down his bow and arrows, took out a telescope made of natural crystal with his own hands, and carefully observed that the Zhenrong rebels were not retreating by fraud, Tao Ying couldn't help laughing, and said to himself: "Zhenrong Xiao'er is not too stupid, as long as he chases for ten miles, he won't even have a chance to escape, but it doesn't matter, he can just practice the melee combat of Lao Tzu's army." ”
After laughing, Tao Ying bowed to the pro-soldiers next to him, and the pro-soldiers immediately raised the pennant and waved, and the gentlemen's army heavy cavalry in the wild reined their horses, quickly turned around and formed a whole team, and at the same time seized the time to drink water and sort out the weapons, and when the two horizontal teams were re-arranged, Tao Ying waved the flag again, and the new slogan sounded immediately, "Zi said: People are not benevolent, such as courtesy!" People are not kind, such as joy! Lin Fang's greeting is the foundation of the ceremony. Zi said: Dazai asked! Etiquette, rather than luxury, rather thrifty, with its easy, rather Qi. Zi said: "Yidi has a king, it is better than Zhuxia nothing!" ”
The third chapter of the Analects was recited neatly, and the heavy cavalry of the Gentleman's Army also began the third step of tactics, charging on horseback while firing arrows from a distance. And the Zhenrong rebels never dreamed that the Junzi Army, which only had about 300 people, would dare to launch a counter-charge, and suddenly there was a big chaos, some people turned around to meet the enemy, some people rode their horses back, and more of them stood in place and didn't know what to do, but fortunately, the Bodhisattva was not fooled this time, brandishing the saber and just yelling, "Withdraw!" Remove! No chasing! As soon as you chase Tao Ying, you will run! ”
"Run, brethren!" In the shouts one after another, the rebel cavalry, which was already less than a thousand people, rushed to flee for their lives, you fought for me, trampled on each other, and there were countless dead, and the heavy cavalry of the gentleman's army chased after them, biting the tail of the rebels, constantly pulling their bows and arrows in the charge, and desperately shooting the rebel cavalry.
It was also at this time that Tao Ying had been looking forward to an important turning point finally came, the war horses under the butts of the rebels charged back and forth for more than 70 miles, most of them were already tired and foaming at the mouth, sweating, and the galloping speed was too reduced, and even began to appear that the horses ran out of physical strength and fell and fell individual cases, but the donkeys and horses under the butts of the Junzi Army exerted an incredible endurance advantage, always maintaining considerable speed and strength, carrying the Junzi Army soldiers to chase and kill the rebel soldiers whose physical strength and horsepower were exhausted together, While the soldiers of the Gentleman's Army continued to release arrows, they also began to free their hands, wielding swords and axes to slash and kill the rebel cavalry who fell off their horses, and the superiority and inferiority between the rebels and the Gentlemen's Army were completely reversed.
"What the hell is going on ...... this? How ......, how do we seem to win? ”
The battle situation is inexplicably reversed, the most confused person is still the little girl Lin Qing next to Tao Ying, although Lin Qing, who was born in the general's door, has never been on the battlefield, but he has been influenced by his elders since he was a child, and he also understands the war of this era quite well, and he knows very well that once the army is defeated and retreated, it will be like a mountain of defeat, unless there is an ambush or reinforcements to respond, it is difficult to reverse the situation of the war. But now, the Junzi army has been defeated and retreated for more than 60 miles, with neither reinforcements nor ambushes, how can it have the upper hand in turn when it is defeated? Defeat and defeat as if you are about to win? Such a strange thing, Lin Qing grew up from small to big, and he really hadn't heard of it!
In confusion, Lin Qing suddenly felt that the front hooves of the war horse under his crotch were soft, and even the people and horses rolled forward, which frightened Lin Qing and screamed, fortunately, Tao Ying was always by her side, and he quickly grabbed her little hand, waved his arm, and threw the little girl into the air, hugged the little girl in mid-air, carried her to his horse and sat down, and quickly strangled the horse's head, which allowed Lin Qing to avoid the doom of falling down with the horse. When Lin Qing was shocked for a while, Tao Ying's kind and gentle voice also sounded in her ears, "Little girl, you didn't listen to the horseshoe when I told you, did you see it?" Your Dawan horse's hooves are bleeding and have been scrapped. ”
"My horse's hooves are bleeding?" Lin Qing was startled, and quickly looked down to take a closer look, and found that the front hooves of the tall and divine horse he was riding were really bleeding, obviously running for seventy miles in a row on the bumpy road, plus the long-distance running of the gentleman's army in the past few days, the horse's hooves finally couldn't withstand the continuous violent friction with the sand and gravel, and cracked, and it was completely scrapped.
"It's all you!" After puffing out his mouth like a child, Lin Qing poured his anger on Tao Ying and muttered, "If you had told me the role of the horseshoe, would I have nailed my horse?" You pay! ”
"Okay, okay, I'll pay for it." Tao Ying helplessly pinched Lin Qing's tender little face, beckoned his soldiers to bring a spare war horse, and smiled at Lin Qing: "Why don't you change horses soon?" How long do you want to hold me? I don't mind, but I'm still going to war? If you want to hug it, you can hug it when the battle is over. ”
Lin Qing looked at it again, only to find that he not only hugged Tao Ying with both hands, but also crossed his two slender and tender legs around Tao Ying's waist, and Tao Ying hugged him like a pair of conjoined babies.
"It's time." Tao Ying ignored Lin Qing's brutality, and ordered to the pro-soldiers next to him: "Send a signal, close the net, and cut off the head!" ”
"No!" The soldier hugged his fists and agreed, took out a bamboo tube wrapped in oil paper from his arms, tore the oil paper and lit it, and a small bright spot flew out of the top of the bamboo tube, which exploded in the air and bloomed a huge flower. Although gunpowder had been invented in this era, it was very rare, so Lin Qing couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What is this?" How pretty? ”
"Fireworks." Tao Ying replied casually: "If you like it, when the battle is over, I will send you a few." ”
"Okay." Lin Qing happily agreed, and asked again: "Then what are you doing now that you are fighting and setting off fireworks?" ”
"Of course, the ambush attacked." Tao Ying said with a smile.
"Ambush? Our ambush soldiers? Lin Qing was even more surprised.
"Who's to say no? You see, isn't this coming? Tao Ying pointed to the distance and smiled.
Lin Qing turned his head in surprise, but was even more surprised to find that behind the mountains and woods on the left and right sides of the defeated rebels, there was a team of cavalry under the banner of the Junzi Army, riding a horse to the left and right to encircle the Zhenrong rebels, and a group of Junzi Army cavalry simply appeared in front of the diagonal front, outflanking the front of the Zhenrong rebels, blocking the road to block the brigade of the Zhenrong rebels, and the rebel soldiers on the road were at a loss, holding their heads and running vigorously, without any resistance.
After looking at it carefully for a while, Lin Qing exclaimed again: "The light horsemen led by Tao Ji, when did they surround the Zhengrong dog thief?" ”
