Chapter 407: I can't help but retreat
He guessed right!
About an hour later, the fire in Yingzhou City gradually extinguished, only the smoke that rushed to the sky was still thick, and the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and groups of golden soldiers appeared.
It turned out that the two people who escaped from the city, Alar Mountain and Agulu, did not go far, Zong Bi gave them a death order, the battle between Dingzhou and Yingzhou was a matter of the face of the Dajin Kingdom, even if it was bombed into ruins, it could not fall into the hands of the Song army.
Agulu is really a bit "reckless", since the fourth prince said that it is okay to blow up into ruins, he really planted explosives with the cooperation of the people of the city.
Whether it was Aguru or Alar Mountain, both of them were very uncomfortable with the sudden change in the style of the Song army, so they avoided it for the time being just to calm down.
The three tiger generals of the An family and Zhao Tianci all made a mistake at the same time, that is, underestimating the enemy. Zhao Tianci fought from Jiangnan all the way, and it was too smooth, and he basically didn't encounter any decent resistance, but the three brothers and sisters of the An family had no battlefield experience, which led to the rash advance of the enemy on the spot, causing heavy losses.
Alar Shan led troops to surround Dingzhou, and Agulu detonated Yingzhou City and returned, which immediately put Zhao Tianci into passivity.
There were at least 100,000 men under Agulu, and he stopped more than ten miles outside Yingzhou City and ordered a team of 1,000 people to approach Yingzhou City, which was still smoking.
It was his caution that temporarily saved his life.
Zhao Tianci saw that the Jin soldiers were stagnant, and only a team of 1,000 people came, so he knew that there was no need to hide anymore, as long as the team of 1,000 people found the corpses of the people outside the city, he could judge that they were still there, so he immediately issued an order to attack the whole army and eat the team of 1,000 people.
The thousand-man team circled around Yingzhou City, and when they found the mountains of corpses of the people, they sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned their horses' heads and prepared to run back. But the Song army suddenly came out of the shadows, a sound of tension sounded, countless sharp arrows fell from the sky, and this thousand-man team didn't even hold out for half an hour, and it turned into a thousand corpses.
Aguru also saw this scene, and instead of sending people to rescue, he ordered the army to retreat another thirty miles, and disconnected from Zhao Tianci's men and horses.
When did Zhao Tianci suffer such a big loss? Seeing the Jin soldiers retreating, they immediately ordered people to pursue them at full speed. However, when he got closer, he realized that Aguru had retreated thirty miles away, because it was a vast plain.
It turned out that Jin Bing was going to fight a tough battle with him head-on.
Zhao Tianci gritted his teeth with hatred, the Jin people were not only cunning, but also vicious and vicious, a good Yingzhou city had become a scorched earth, and his only thought now was to send them all to the west to see the great immortals.
"God's gift, what do you think?" Yang Zizi asked with a frown.
"What do you think? I don't want to leave a mouth alive! Zhao Tianci's voice was extremely cold.
"The Jin soldiers are good at field combat, we don't have an advantage in numbers now, and the control of the cavalry is probably not as good as theirs." An Shun Zhang said.
Zhao Tianci gritted his teeth and looked back at the soldiers behind him, each of them had traces of smoke on their faces, and the monstrous killing intent in their eyes was terrifying.
"I want to see how powerful they really are!" He called Hong Aya and the other eight people and An Yuanliang, and commanded in a low voice, "I don't want to keep any of these people, do you have a way?" ”
"This is a plain, and under the nose of the enemy, we have no time or possibility to make arrangements in advance, so we can only rely on the combat power of the soldiers." There should be no problem in defeating them, and if they are all destroyed, we will have to find a way. ”
Shen Mingzhu said, "That's right, we have strong bows and hard horses in our hands, and the war horses are no worse than theirs, but I have another worry, most of our war horses are snatched from the hands of the Jin soldiers, and once the fight starts, it is difficult to say whether they will be obedient or not." ”
An Shunzhang said, "My worry is exactly that, our horses are all Northland horses, and they still have some habits with each other. ”
Yang Zizi said, "Since it's not safe right away, then let's fight immediately." ”
"Infantry versus cavalry?" An Shunzhang shook his head, "In that case, even if we can win, our losses will be great." ”
Wang Po said, "We have experience in fighting cavalry with foot, first extinguish their sharpness, let them fear war, and then what to do, the initiative is in our hands." ”
"Good! We will defeat the cavalry with infantry, and then leave 20,000 cavalry to maneuver around the perimeter, and not a single golden soldier can get out alive! Zhao Tianci thought for a while and said.
Everyone nodded in unison, and Zhao Tianci said, "Then let's discuss the details of the specific action." As he spoke, several people met and studied it carefully.
Aguru is preparing for battle, and he has been watching and seeing. His men and horses were all cavalry, and so were the other party, and the war horses in their hands were obviously their own, so he still had a little doubt about the outcome of the two sides' hard confrontation.
He observed for a while, and suddenly found that the Song army on the opposite side had begun to retreat, "Are they going to run?" Agulu hurriedly passed down the order to immediately attack at full speed, and the Song army must not be allowed to escape.
On the endless plain, more than 100,000 cavalry launched at the same time, and the mountains were full of golden soldiers galloping wildly, and the large array began to tremble.
Agulu pressed the formation behind, and he suddenly felt a little weird, the cavalry of the Song army was not running fast, and ...... After the cavalry, there were countless more infantry behind, and what about their horses? He rubbed his eyes, could it be that he was dazzled? They don't have that many war horses in the first place?
The distance between the two armies is getting closer and closer, and it is impossible for the infantry to outrun the cavalry, although so, the infantry of the Song army did not seem to want to run fast, and even stopped at the end, looking back at the Jin soldiers who rushed over.
Aguru's brows furrowed, what are they doing here?
The answer was soon revealed, and the infantry of the Song army suddenly squatted down neatly, their right hand stroking their left arm, their left hand holding their swords, and pointing at the Jin cavalry flatly.
Their target is the war horse under the Golden Soldier's Throne!
An inexplicable chill enveloped Aguru's heart. He had heard from the people who had been defeated before that there was an extra kind of divine weapon in the hands of the Song people, but no one could say what it was, could it be this kind of strange beast in his hand?
Just as he was hesitating, a low humming sound sounded, and the bow and crossbow in Song Bing's hand was activated.
The momentum of the golden soldiers rushed forward unabated, and they hit those flying arrows head-on, and the people on the horses were fine, but the war horses suffered and fell to the ground one after another.
It was as if the great wave had encountered a depression when it came, and the golden soldiers in front fell in pieces, and the men on the horses rolled to the ground, while the cavalry behind them were advancing at full speed, and suddenly crashed into the fallen men and horses, so the chaos spread rapidly like a tide.
The distance of more than 100 zhang between the infantry of the Song army and the cavalry of the Jin army immediately became an insurmountable chasm, a line of life and death to harvest life.
After the Song soldiers in front fired a wave of arrows, the Song soldiers in the back stepped forward, exchanged positions with them, and continued to fire, in an orderly manner, unhurried, and looked extremely relaxed.
Aguru was shocked and hurriedly issued a military order, ordering the whole army to stop advancing and retreat immediately.
His troops were still very "obedient", and after dropping the corpses of more than 10,000 men and horses, they began to retreat quickly.
"You want to run?" Zhao Tianci laughed, "Brothers, if they want to run, let's chase after them!" ”
The offensive and defensive momentum on the battlefield turned immediately, the cavalry of the Jin army retreated like a tide, and the cavalry of the Song army, which had already withdrawn, was killed again, and it was a chaotic arrow that fell behind.
The result of facing the enemy with their backs can be imagined, this time the goal of the Song army is not only the war horse, but also the people on the horse.
As a result, even if the head army of the Jin army changed to the tail army, the trend of sinking like waves still did not change in the slightest.
For those Jin soldiers who fell off their horses, the cavalry of the Song army directly bypassed, leaving them to the infantry who caught up behind.
The cavalry attacked and the infantry killed the enemy, and this trick was used alternately, which immediately made Aguru's hair stand on end, and he couldn't help but advance and retreat. Seeing that his men and horses were rapidly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, he was so anxious that he once again ordered the whole army to counterattack.
However, this time the order was not faithfully carried out, and the men and horses in front stopped, but the people behind were still within the attack range of the Song army, and they could not stop. And so, a new chaos arose.
The stopped Jin soldiers also took off their bows and arrows to fight back, but the effect was really limited, or even had no effect, because the range was not equal, and the bows and arrows in their hands could not reach others at all.
Agulu was ruthless, and ordered to leave 10,000 people to form a human wall, desperately blocking the impact of the Song army, and his large army retreated at full speed, which was considered to have opened a safe distance, but the 10,000 people were not even a quarter of an hour, and they were rushed by the Song army.
The Song army did not take advantage of the momentum to chase and kill, but restrained the momentum and retreated.
The two armies once again entered a state of confrontation.
An Shunzhang gasped, this kind of leisurely way of killing enemies and a seamless rhythm that he had never seen in his life.
"Your Majesty, the Jin people are afraid, I'm afraid they won't come up easily." Jin Shunzhang looked into the distance and said.
Zhao Tianci shook his head, "I'm not afraid that he won't come!" He doesn't come, we go! Order, the whole army maintains an attack formation, advance! ”
Aguru's face turned green.
Now his military spirit is no longer stable, this round of attack and defense, he has lost at least more than 30,000 people, in the face of the Song army's tactics, he can't think of a good way to crack it.
"General, the Song army is up!"
Aguru's face changed several times, "Meet the enemy!" ”
"Facing the enemy?"
Aguru is not a fickle person, and facing this situation is tantamount to being slapped in the face in public, and he can't accept it anyway.
Aguru sorted out his battle armor, "The two armies are separated, I will personally call the formation!" ”
"General, the bow and crossbow in Song Jun's hand is very powerful, you have to be careful!"
Aguru turned a deaf ear to the words of the lieutenant general beside him, and he snorted, "If the Song army is really so powerful, why should we capture their emperor?" (To be continued.) )
