Chapter 51: Retreating Pursuers (6)

Zhang Ye and Chack watched the infantry on the other side of the river become a mess, and as soon as Zhao Yun and Han Yu's ambush soldiers came out, these infantry scattered in a hurry, and they were not organized to resist effectively at all.

Zhang Ye's eyes were about to burst out of anger, and he immediately pulled his neck and shouted: "Listen to the soldiers on the other side, don't panic, immediately organize an effective formation, we will kill back to the other side in a while, the number of enemy troops is not large, don't mess up."

Qu Chang and Tun Chang immediately organized their generals, and they must organize their men to lay out a formation and prepare to resist the enemy soldiers. ”

Zhang Ye shouted loudly to the other side as he asked the herald to urge his cavalry and the infantry who had already crossed the river to cross the river from the west bank of the Xingcheng River.

However, when their cavalry and infantry saw the huge trees floating downstream, they stopped when they reached the river.

In the past, there was no danger in the Xingcheng River, and the water was just waist-deep, but now it is extremely dangerous.

In a short period of time, not only was the previously marked crossing site gone, but the water rose nearly a meter high.

It is not advisable to rush to cross the river without a place to cross the river, God knows if there is a deep place in the Xingcheng River, once it encounters a deep place, it is directly a disaster.

In addition, the power of the big tree flowing down the water is definitely not something they can resist, and it can even be said that a giant tree can sweep away many people.

It was extremely dangerous to be swept away by the giant tree, that is, to escape the attack of the giant tree, and crossed the river to the other side of the river, where more than two hundred cavalry had already come, and they had already begun to drive the marching troops, and they would never let them go ashore easily.

According to Captain Zhang Ye's words, it can be said that he is a life of nine deaths. In such a situation, let them cross the river to die, and most of the cavalry began to choose to disobey.

When Zhang Ye saw that his soldiers stopped moving forward after reaching the river, an idea of commanding loyal soldiers to force them into the water sprouted in his heart.

However, he saw that Chuck had whipped the cavalry in front of him with his whip to no avail, and instead caused a commotion.

He immediately rushed forward and pulled back Chak, and lowered his voice and ordered Qu Chang Qian Cheng beside him to immediately take someone upstream to deal with this problem.

"Qian Chengqu, quick, you now bring fifty cavalry upstream, go and drive away the soldiers who threw wood into the water upstream."

Seeing that Qian Cheng nodded in agreement, he spoke again and said solemnly: "The speed must be fast, and they must not be able to get these dangerous things in the water." ”

Zhang Ye was very weak at this time, if he forcibly let his soldiers cross the river, not to mention how many people could cross the river at this time, he didn't know how many people could follow the order.

Although the military order is like a mountain, but if you let your soldiers cross the river in a certain situation, they will never fully carry out the order.

Zhang Ye was even more afraid of the man-made rebellion of his subordinates at this time, and forcibly ordered to cross the river, according to the current situation, there may be a man-made rebellion.

Zhang Ye was entangled, and where his brows were tightly frowned, it seemed that he had opened his third eye.

Zhang Ye also saw from the number of giant trees placed upstream at this time, there would definitely not be many Han soldiers left upstream, otherwise, the wood would definitely not be reduced so much.

The rising rate of the Xingcheng River is also decreasing, which means that after a while, the water of the Xingcheng River will return to its original level, even if it is larger than the previous water, it will not have much impact on them.

By that time to cross the river, the cavalry and infantry under his command will not be able to say anything.

As long as Gongsun Zhan's cavalry did not quickly counterattack, he and Chak still had a chance to fight with the people on the other side of the river.

He must now let Qian Cheng rush upstream as fast as possible to stop those people from continuing, only in this way can he and his cavalry return to Hedong and have a chance to return to Xiangping City.

After Zhang Ye's subordinate Qu Chang Qian Cheng received the order, he immediately led his subordinates to rush over to the area arranged by Zhao Yun upstream.

Qian Cheng was Zhang Ye's confidant, and he knew in his heart that his task was extremely arduous now, and if he couldn't quickly disperse the people who kept pushing down the giant wood upstream, their cavalry and infantry who had crossed the river would fall into a place of no return.

Zhao Yun took the lead and led two hundred cavalry to quickly rush towards the soldiers on the river bank, and the two hundred cavalry were like sharp knives directly inserted into the center of the infantry, and quickly rushed out from the other end of the infantry.

At this time, Zhao Yun implemented the chiseling tactics mentioned by Gongsun Xu, and using this tactic against the infantry would have the greatest psychological pressure on the infantry, and it would divide the infantry into two from the middle, making the infantry soldiers even more panicked.

Most importantly, Gongsun Xu told Zhao Yun that if things really went according to his thoughts, Zhao Yun and his cavalry must rush to the river as fast as possible, and put a kind of pressure on those cavalry on the other side of the river, so that they would not dare to cross the river easily.

If the cavalry troops on the other side of the river choose to forcibly cross the river, then Zhao Yun must leave half of the men and horses to defend the riverbank, and must not let those soldiers who cross the river come from the other side of the river.

If the rebel enemy general hadn't ordered those cavalry to cross the river, Zhao Yun wouldn't need to kill excessively, just disperse those rebels.

The elimination of the rebels would have to wait until the cavalry who had dug the dam had returned, and in doing so, the loss of the soldiers would be minimized.

If possible, Gongsun Xu also hoped to recruit some deserters among these rebel soldiers to replenish his troops.

Zhao Yun constantly commanded his cavalry to drive away the rebel infantry, and if he encountered a stubborn resistance of the enemy, Zhao Yun would quickly rush up and scatter the brave infantry.

Zhao Yun was like a sharp sword at this time, constantly dividing the infantry into pieces of cake.

"Listen well, and hurry up to my side and line up, for only when you are facing the enemy can you escape. You're all coming to me. ”

"Move closer to here, do you hear that?"

Xia Qing, an officer in Zhang Ye's infantry, kept yelling, trying to get his soldiers to gather together and form an effective resistance formation.

He knew in his heart that if their infantry was still scattered, they would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being killed.

When the infantry meets the cavalry in the open terrain, it is in vain, and only when they are combined will they have a chance to retreat.

The river bank was lost, the main generals were isolated on the opposite bank, and the cavalry of the Han army continued to divide the infantry into pieces, so that they could not form an effective battle mode, and what awaited them would be death.

As for the loud shouts of the main generals Zhang Ye and Chak, Xia Qing didn't care, in such a situation, their lives were the first priority.

Xia Qing's shouts were very loud, and several commanders quickly gathered around him, and dozens of soldiers began to move closer to him.

These soldiers are not stupid, they have already reacted at this time, and what Xia Qing said is the most correct choice.

It was only known that the infantry soldiers who fled for their lives could only be caught up and killed under the iron hooves of the cavalry, and only when they were twisted together could they resist the pursuit of the Han cavalry.

Just when Xia Qing continued to assign tasks and constantly command these people to change formations, Zhao Yun was like an arrow off the string, like a flash of light, and he rode quickly to kill quickly.
