Chapter 305: Pursuit
It is undeniable that the blue wolf army is worthy of being a rare elite cavalry in the world, as soon as the Jiangdong cavalry killed, they began to roar and counterattack, a team of cavalry continued to counter-charge, iron hooves flying, long knives chopping, blood flying, the scene was chaotic. The fierce counterattack of the blue wolf army greatly surprised the Jiangdong army, and the charging Jiangdong cavalry was in danger of being repulsed for a while.
At this moment, countless spearmen and sword players poured out of the woods on both sides, rushing towards the iron cavalry of the 10,000 Blue Wolf Army, and in the blink of an eye, nearly 10,000 Iron Cavalry of the Blue Wolf Army fell into the rolling tide of infantry. In the forest of guns, the cavalry of the Blue Wolf Army was stabbed one after another and fell off the horse, people turned on their backs, although the cavalry of the Blue Wolf Army desperately wanted to counterattack, but they lost the most important speed of the cavalry, and were restrained by the opponent's troops, and they were killed in bloody battles one by one! At the same time, the Jiangdong cavalry, which had already revealed defeat, turned around and charged, and the iron cavalry of the Blue Wolf Army was rushed to pieces!
Ma Chao saw that it was not a way to go on like this, so he immediately led the army to break through to the west. The cavalry of the Blue Wolf Army moved closer to Ma Chao while fighting, and killed to the west! At this moment, a rain of arrows poured down from the hillside on the right, and the soldiers around Ma Chao immediately fell! Ma Chao was also hit by two arrows! Regardless of the pain, Ma Chao shot away an oncoming enemy general, and led his cavalry to rush out!
Zhou Yu, who was standing on the hillside watching the battle, frowned, a little annoyed, and saw that the cavalry was chasing down, so he hurriedly ordered the heralds around him to order the troops to be withdrawn!
Zhang Lang led a large group of soldiers and horses to follow behind, and suddenly learned the news that Ma Chao's department was ambushed, and was taken aback, and immediately led a detachment of assault cavalry to meet him.
I went out more than ten miles to receive Ma Chao, only to see that less than half of the original cavalry team of nearly 10,000 people was left, and most of the remaining half of the people and horses were also brought, Ma Chao was mottled with bloodstains in armor, and obviously had just experienced a bloody battle.
When Ma Chao saw Zhang Lang, he hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, and was just about to pay homage, but fainted to the ground.
Zhang Lang was shocked, jumped off the red rabbit horse, ran to Ma Chao and picked him up. At a glance, I was surprised to find that there were two arrows stuck in his left back! Zhang Lang was frightened and very worried, so he hurriedly ordered the medical officer to take Ma Chao down for first aid! The medical officer received the order and immediately ordered the sergeant to take Ma Chao down.
Zhang Lang turned his head to look at Dongfang, frowned, and muttered, "Zhou Yu really deserves his reputation!" In the face of such a big defeat, such an ambush can still be set up! Almost made me break a general! Turning his head and ordering: "Command all armies, slow down the march, and increase vigilance!" All scouts go out to scout! ”
Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "The general doesn't have to be like this!" Although Zhou Lang is well versed in the art of war, I expect that he must be defenseless at this moment! He thought that the ambush had broken the spirit of our army, and our army would not dare to pursue it again, and it would inevitably go east at full speed, and would no longer guard against us! ”
Zhang Lang said: "What does Kong Ming mean that we can pursue with all our might?" ”
Zhuge Liang nodded affirmatively.
Zhang Lang is still a little unsure. After hesitating for a moment, he finally decided to follow Zhuge Liang's plan, and immediately handed over the responsibility of commander-in-chief of the army to Zhuge Liang, and he himself led 30,000 cavalry to the east at full speed.
That night, Zhang Lang led 30,000 horsemen to let go of a low mountain beam, only to see the lights shining not far from the mountain, and a group of men and horses were heading east. Perhaps because of exhaustion, the team was sparse and not very fast.
Zhang Lang immediately led the cavalry to rush down.
Sun Jianjun, who was the rear team, suddenly heard a rumbling thunder behind him, all of them were startled, and they all looked back, and saw countless war horses roaring from the night, all over the mountains, the cold light illuminated the night into day, and the roar was like the cry of a beast! The Jiangdong army was so frightened that its face was like a human being, and then there was a commotion, many people threw away their armor and ran in all directions, and the general who led the team was completely at a loss!
Thirty thousand horsemen rushed into the middle of the enemy, their iron hooves rushing, their swords slashing, and blood gushing wildly.
In the blink of an eye, the entire rear team completely collapsed, and the Jiangdong Army suffered heavy casualties and collapsed.
The 30,000 cavalry did not stop, and continued to pursue to the east.
The next morning, when the sun had just risen and the sky and the earth were hazy, the 30,000 cavalry led by Zhang Lang caught up with the retreating Jiangdong Army Central Army Brigade! Zhou Yu reacted at the first time and immediately ordered the army to line up to face the battle!
However, just when the Jiangdong Army was turning around in a panic and lined up, the sudden Lang tide had already rushed up, wave after wave, and the ferocious impact was on the Jiangdong Army front! The defense line of the Jiangdong Army collapsed in an instant!
Seeing that the Jiangdong Army was in a catastrophe, and at the last moment, Zhou Yu ordered Tai Shici to lead all the more than 10,000 cavalry to rush forward and become entangled with the Turk cavalry. At the same time, the infantry brigade quickly flanked to the east!
Some people may feel strange that the Jiangdong Army did not withdraw through the guò waterway, in fact, there is nothing strange about it, the Jiangdong Army did not want to retreat through the guò waterway, but it could not do it, because Zhuge Liang had blocked the river of the Han River in the previous war, and the large ships of the Jiangdong Navy could not come at all.
At this critical moment, the Jiangdong cavalry showed an admirable spirit of sacrifice, they knew that they were not the opponent of the cavalry, but they still continued to charge without hesitation! Fallen under the javelins of the Turrahs, under the flying swords of the Troopers, they died in bloody battles, but they never feared! The combat strength of the Turat cavalry was fierce, and the Jiangdong cavalry could not compete at all, but the Turf cavalry could not get out at all for a while, and the Jiangdong cavalry simply dragged the pace of the Turf cavalry with their own sacrifice!
The battle without suspense lasted until noon.
The sun hung in the middle of the sky, and the sunlight was a little dazzling. The roaring and fighting on the field have stopped, the corpses are all over the field, the blood is flowing like a river, and more than 10,000 Jiangdong cavalry are all killed on the battlefield except for a few who were captured and broke through! The corpses of men and horses were densely packed, and the horses stayed by the corpses of their masters, constantly pushing their masters with their heads, and they did not know that the masters could no longer get up.
Zhang Lang immediately stood on the hill, looking at the miserable scene under the mountain, and couldn't help but feel a little touched.
An officer rode a horse behind Zhang Lang, hugged his fists and said: "General Qiyu, the enemy army has been completely wiped out, and the losses of our army are not small, with more than 5,000 dead and wounded!" ”
Zhang Lang immediately ordered: "Leave one team to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the armies will continue to pursue with me!" ”
Zhang Lang led more than 20,000 cavalry to continue the pursuit to the east. However, after a night of chasing and just experiencing a fierce battle, the men and horses were exhausted, and the speed was obviously not comparable to that of a day ago! At this time, the Jiangdong army was fleeing to Shangyong City in a hurry.
