Chapter 152: Tactical Retreat

Zhou Cang's cavalry was a heavy cavalry, which meant that each cavalry had to have two war horses. ,

One of them is an ordinary road horse, and the main choice is Mongolian horses with good endurance and speed; In addition, there is a group of horses that are used for battle, that is, for sprinting, mainly in the Dawan horse breed.

Fang Yun got a batch of sweat and blood horses because of Ji Yue's relationship earlier. After more than half a year of cultivation, it has recovered its health and has completed reproduction. Next year, at least hundreds of war horses with their bloodlines will be born, and then they will continue to be selected and optimized according to their needs.

Before this batch of good horses could not be put into battle, Zhou Cang used the Dawan horse breed and the Mongolian horse breed that he had purchased from Qianghu. The latter was mainly used for hurrying, while the former was dressed in thick armor and was the perfect match for heavy knights to use for charges.

At this moment, after repelling the people in the siege camp, Hu Cai and Han Xian had regrouped their team. I also had the intention of leaving like this, after all, there was no need to pursue a group of defeated enemy troops.

But they didn't want to, but at this time, a cavalry unit appeared in front of them. It is not difficult to see from the appearance that this unit is definitely not a Hu cavalry under Han Sui. In that case, it will naturally be the enemy army!

"Assemble and charge at the enemy!" The two of them gave the order at the same time, and the Bai Bo army below listened to the order and immediately drove the people to assemble, regardless of whether they were complaining or crying.

"The enemy is right in front of you, if you don't want to die, rush me!" Hu Cai roared.

The White Polish army began to systematically threaten the people. And he had already fought for his life once. The people who survived the catastrophe. Before he was free, he was forced to attack Fang Yunjun again.

They really didn't want to do this, especially since the other party was still a cavalryman, just standing there, the strong sense of oppression almost made them breathless. When they are engaged in war with such an enemy, they have no bottom in their hearts.

"Kill!" I don't know who shouted, which directly stimulated all the people.

At the moment they are almost following the crowd. Blindly kill forward. In fact, they know better than anyone else that they do not want to fight. But they have no choice, not to fight is to die!

The torrent of 100,000 people, even Zhou Cang couldn't help but feel hard. If such a team were to assault head-on, they would not have reached half of the assault before the enemy would pull them off their horses and kill the cavalry with several men.

No matter how many enemies you can kill in the end, if you put your own cavalry in it, it will be meaningless. Besides, Zhou Cang didn't see that this was the first troop. It's all a group of ordinary people.

They weren't even trained, and the loose formation didn't even look like a formation. However, even he had to admit it. When the number of the common people reaches a certain number, even an elite army like him must retreat......

"Fight!" Zhou Cang shouted, and immediately rushed forward with his soldiers.

In the army, military orders must be obeyed absolutely, even if the general tells you to die! This is not a joke, if you don't have the courage to face death directly on the battlefield, then what qualifications do you have to say that you are invincible in the world?

They may not be invincible in the world, but if they want to become a real ace army, then they must do this! At this moment, they were fearless, just silently following Zhou Cang. They believe in their own masters, and they should not let themselves be sent to death on purpose!

Sure enough, Zhou Cang quickly turned his horse's head, bypassed the main force of the large army, and killed the enemy rear. Compared with the people in front, the obviously trained soldiers in the rear are Zhou Cang's main target!

The endurance of the Dawan horse may not be as good as that of the Mongolian horse, but its explosive power is still very good. In a very short time, they bypassed the large forces of the enemy army and killed them in the rear. The people seemed to realize something, and although they were still rushing towards them, they slowed down considerably.

"Stop them! Otherwise, you'll die first! Hu Cai roared angrily, he obviously saw that the people were wrong.

The people couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and then unwillingly dispersed and killed Zhou Cangjun. It's just that at this time, the army of Zhou Cang's army has infinitely approached the rear of the enemy army.

"Rush over!" Zhou Cang held a big knife in his hand and directly slashed at the head of the soldier of the White Wave Army.

In one shot, at least three soldiers died under his broadsword. Since the introduction of stirrups, the hands of the cavalry have been liberated, and after drilling, it is not difficult to chop with a broadsword or something.

In the past, one hand had to hold the horse's back, so the only person who could hold the knife was one hand. In such a situation, it is impossible to wield a knife to kill the enemy, holding a knife in one hand is a problem, and when fighting on the battlefield, the potential energy generated by the horses galloping and reloading is enough to dislocate the wrists of the soldiers.

Now it is different, these 10,000 people are armed with big swords, and they directly kill the enemy formation. This kind of big knife is said to be Guan Yu's kind of glaive knife, naturally it is not counted, strictly speaking, it is similar to the eyebrow knife, and it is also a bit like a long-handled Tang knife. This design is mainly to reduce the weight of the broadsword, otherwise it will be very difficult to hold the knife in both hands.

Immediately following Zhou Cang, the cavalry also killed the enemy formation one after another. The people got out of the way, just because in essence they were not the White Wave Army at all, and watching the White Wave Army suffer, they were actually the happiest in their hearts.

The most important thing is that if this force can kill these White Polish troops, then they will naturally be free. As long as the head is not funny, it is natural to know these stakes and then make the most rational choice.

"Retreat!" Seeing that this heavy cavalry tore apart their formation at once, Hu Cai and Han Xian had to order a retreat.

The army began to leave, but the people chose to stay. In themselves, they had to be coerced by the White Polish Army to fight for the sake of freedom, and being able to break away from the White Polish Army and gain freedom was naturally the best result. I just don't know how this cavalryman will treat them.

"You lay down your weapons and crouch down with your head in your hands, or you will be killed!" Zhou Cang looked at the fleeing Bai Bo army, and then at the coerced people around him, gave up continuing the pursuit, and shouted at the people.

"Put down your weapons and crouch down with your head in your hands, or you will be killed!" The soldiers below were repeating his orders.

The people began to lay down their weapons one by one, and then crouched down with their heads in their hands. A thousand soldiers began to dismount, taking away the squatting people one after another, and the encirclement was also shrinking step by step. With the last of the people confined, the danger was lifted.

"Folks, we are soldiers under the command of the general, and we have been ordered to come to liberate Sizhou this time. You have suffered all these years! Zhou Cang dismounted and bowed to the people to apologize.

The people suddenly began to recall that after the Baibo Army captured Sizhou in the past few years, many people even cried immediately. However, in their hearts, they actually know very well that it doesn't matter how they were before, and they will be free in the future!

"Folks, our men will take you back to the rear, please follow the orders of the soldiers." Zhou Cang shouted after getting up.

The people below are not unreasonable people, and there is no need to fight, so naturally there is no need to be too nervous. They even went to the rescue of the wounded civilians under the guidance of the soldiers below.

It's just that when cleaning the battlefield, Zhou Cang was still on the position of the siege camp, and saw the more than 300 flesh and blood of his own soldiers, as well as those war equipment that had been artificially destroyed.

He had read the "Secrecy Regulations" to some extent, so he knew that these 300 people actually stayed on his own initiative. The goal is simple, to destroy these weapons of war and ensure that these technologies are not mastered by outsiders.

After all, if Cao Cao or Liu Bei mastered these techniques, then the result would be that in the future battles, more comrades would inevitably die under the opponent's war equipment. Compared to that, the death of 300 people is already very good.

Zhou Cang saluted silently like this, these heroes are eligible for such treatment. Not only him, but all the soldiers around him were also silently saluting......

The people who helped clean up the battlefield couldn't understand what Zhou Cang was doing, but they could see the sadness and seriousness in this posture. Many of the people who participated in the killing of these soldiers couldn't help but feel uneasy, for fear that Zhou Cang would settle accounts after the autumn.

"Am I late?" Zhao Li was only late at this time, and the foot soldiers were not as good as the cavalry.

"More than 300 were killed, and the main force should have been preserved. However, all the siege equipment was damaged, and it was not realistic to continue to advance. And there are still so many people who need to be resettled, I'm afraid that at this stage, I can only fight here! Zhou Cang came to Zhao Li and said to him very seriously.

"I know, I'll report it to the lord immediately, see how he arranges!" Zhao Li nodded and replied.

Large troops began to camp here in Binh Duong, and the dam where Han Sui was located was later demolished. Han Sui's army has retreated to the area of Jiangyi, and there is no need to defend the dam anymore.

The two sides confronted each other in this way, but there was no further probing or attack.

Not long after, the reply from Fang Yun was sent to Zhao Li and them: From now on, the north of Pingyang will be separated from Hedong County to form Pingyang County, and the seat of governance will be in Pingyang County! In the short term, the main focus will be on settling the rescued people, and there will be no external war for the time being this year!

Of course, this is only an order against their troops. On Ma Dai's side, even the Gao Lan army, which has already been mobilized and is about to go south, will continue to attack Sizhou, not to mention the two armies of Chen Tao and Fan Chou.

To put it simply, it is just to let Zhao Li and Zhou Cang serve as targets to attract attention and facilitate the actions of other troops. Defeat Sizhou or something this year, Fang Yun is bound to win! (To be continued......)

ps: Tactical retreat, the battle between Zhao Li and Zhou Cang's side has come to an end for the time being. u
