Chapter 335: The main force is the one who fights
"Retreat, retreat quickly, don't fall in love with war." Seeing that the Jin army reinforcements had been killed in front of him, the Zhao army lord shouted loudly and ordered his men and horses to retreat in the direction of the east gate.
At this time, the 9,000 men and horses led by Wang Liu have been killed in front of them, and it is naturally impossible for the whole army to retreat calmly, and the Zhao army has nearly 3,000 men and horses, except for the Qingqiang pitchers and shield players who were originally arranged outside the moat, and the remaining main forces of the siege are all surrounded.
"Kill...... Don't let any of them go. Wang Liu killed the enemy while shouting to boost morale.
The Tuntian men and horses of the Northern Expeditionary Army, who had never been on the battlefield or killed the enemy, lined up in battle formations and fought hard, without the slightest timidity or discomfort, which may be related to their usual professional training.
The soldiers and horses of the two soldiers collided violently, and after a fierce battle, more than 1,000 siege warriors of the Zhao army were annihilated by Wang Liu and his men and horses.
"General, our army won the first battle, killing more than 1,000 of them, and the remaining 1,000 men and horses fled faster than rabbits, haha!" A military master said excitedly.
Wang Liu nodded and said loudly: "If you want to run, how can it be so easy, inform the soldiers, set off immediately, and pursue in the direction of the east gate." I will not kill them tonight, and I will not return the army. โ
"Yes, General." The military lord responded excitedly, and then shouted: "Soldiers, advance in the direction of the east gate and chase the enemy." โ
"Driving the ......" Wang Liuze's horse led his men and horses and continued to march in the direction of the east gate.
The commander of the Zhao army, who was responsible for attacking the north gate, led a thousand soldiers under his command to escape to the east gate with difficulty, and met with Yao Xiang, who was commanding the siege at the east gate.
"Lord Wei, why are you so wolfy." Yao Xiang asked with a frown.
"Nearly 10,000 reinforcements from the Jin army are coming, the last general is invincible, and the remnants of the special army retreat to this point, the little general hurriedly prepares, the Jin army reinforcements, and people should be killed in a while." Zhao Junjun said truthfully.
When Yao Xiang heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said in surprise: "The Jin army has nearly 10,000 reinforcements, how is it possible, haven't the scouts already explored, and there are no reinforcements within ten miles around Jiankang City?" โ
"Who knows this?" Zhao Junjun's face was bitter.
Yao Xiang patted his forehead and said angrily: "These hateful scouts, why can't they even detect such a main force as the Jin army, they should all be beheaded." โ
"Little general, look, the Jin army reinforcements are coming." One of his subordinates pointed to the Wang Sixth Legion that had been killed from the north and said loudly.
Yao Xiang looked up to the north, and a few miles away, there was indeed an army of nearly 10,000 horses approaching rapidly, and it seemed that it was the Jin army.
But what Yao Xiang really can't figure out is that even if the scouts are careless, they can infiltrate the interior of the Great Jin Dynasty, and they have already explored the strength of the Jin army's states and the current deployment area very clearly, at this time, around Jiankang City, in addition to the six battalions of Wuyi guarding the city, the nearest main force is the 30,000 army at the Wujiang Ferry.
And the army of nearly 10,000 horses in front of him is supporting so quickly, it can be seen that it is deployed near the capital, but what kind of people and horses is this? Why didn't the details who infiltrated Jiankang City report, could it be a secret force, so would there be a secret force around the capital? What's going on?
"Little general, the Jin army reinforcements are coming, our army has withdrawn the siege men and horses, and is ready to meet the enemy!" A camp owner exhorted.
Yao Xiang nodded and said, "Let the men and horses who are besieging the city retreat immediately." โ
"Yes, little general." The camp master answered, shouted loudly, and withdrew all the men and horses who were besieging the city a stone's throw away from the city wall.
"Little general, the Jin army has reinforcements, there are many people and horses, and our army is not strong enough, do you really want to resist?" Another camp owner asked, frowning.
Yao Xiang pursed his lips and said loudly: "The enemy situation is unknown, the whole army retreats quickly and retreats to the south gate." โ
"Retreat, retreat to the South Gate." One of the generals shouted and ordered the soldiers to retreat towards the south gate.
Yao Xiang glanced back at the north, rode his horse and galloped south, his mind was extremely meticulous, he would not take risks lightly before he figured out the origin of the Wang Sixth Army, and he even regretted rashly attacking Jiankang City.
The army of Zhao quickly withdrew from the direction of the east gate to the south gate, but the soldiers of the Wuyi battalion defending the city were not good at field warfare, so they did not dare to rashly open the city gate to pursue, and could only watch the Zhao army retreat to the south gate.
"General, look, the Zhao army ran away again, and the Zhao army that attacked the east gate fled with the rout soldiers at the north gate." A military lord said loudly in front of Wang Liu.
Wang Liu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said disdainfully: "Hmph, it is said that the army of Zhao is the army of tigers and wolves, and it turns out that they are all vulnerable, and when they see our army, they can only escape!" Ha ha! โ
"General, they are fleeing in the direction of the south gate, there should be their main army at the south gate, our army is not strong enough, it is not appropriate to touch it!" The subordinate persuaded.
For the reminder of his subordinates, Wang Liu, who had been carried away by the victory, had a completely indifferent expression, he looked at his subordinates, and said proudly: "What kind of bullshit main force, this will be the main force, and later all the soldiers will charge with me, as long as the formation of the Zhao army is broken, even if he has an army of 100,000, there is nothing to fear." โ
"General, the prestige of the tiger and wolf division of the Zhao army should not be called in vain, General Hua is afraid of the Zhao army, we should be careful." The subordinate continued to persuade.
Wang Liu shook his head, disapproving, and said: "What kind of tiger and wolf division, it is completely my eldest brother who took it out to scare you, he wants us to train well and take it seriously, in fact, there is nothing to fear in the army of Zhao State, you have also learned the battle just now, but is it so?" โ
"Yes, General, we will definitely follow the General to the death, defeat the Zhao Army, and make meritorious contributions." The courage of his subordinates was completely stimulated by Wang Liu.
Yao Xiang's army was dominated by cavalry, so it soon reached the direction of the south gate, and the small number of infantry that followed was still on the way.
Yao Gezhong, who was directing the siege of the city, couldn't help but be furious when he saw his son and the love general who attacked the north gate, the wolf Bรจi, retreated.
"Xiang'er, Lord Wei, do you know what a sin it is to withdraw from the position without a military order?" Yao Gezhong asked sternly.
"The last general is guilty, please punish the general." The Lord of Wei hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.
"Xiang'er, are you still unaware of your sin?" Seeing that his beloved son looked absent-minded, Yao Gezhong was very angry.
"Father, there is an error in the intelligence of our army, we should retreat quickly, and it is not too late to march again when the situation is clarified." Yao Xiang Zhengse said.
"There's a mistake in the information, Xiang'er, what are you talking about?" Yao Gezhong looked confused.
"General, nearly 10,000 reinforcements from the Jin army suddenly came from the north, and most of the men and horses under the command of the last general were killed or wounded, so they withdrew as a last resort." The Wei military master, who was kneeling on the ground, interjected.
