Text Chapter 804 Withdrawal or Non-withdrawal

Yesenin decided to withdraw the army, he called an adjutant general, and asked him to take 50,000 soldiers to take charge of the break, and if he wanted to come back to the rescue, he decided to go back earlier, at least to make a good contribution in front of Prince Ivan.

After three days of fighting with a legion, he also had a basic understanding of this army, in his opinion, this army was very strong in defensive warfare, but when it came to attack, it should not be so powerful.

But Ye Sening didn't know at all that Zhang Chao didn't use all his strength from beginning to end, and the 50,000 cavalry of the Zhang family's army that had been prepared never came in handy, waiting for him to withdraw his troops.

The Rus' army suddenly moved, no longer attacking, this change was quickly captured by Zhang Chao, he guessed, it is likely that the estimate between them is correct, Huang Zhong has already made a move, and began to threaten the life of Prince Ivan.

If this is the case, Zhang Chao will definitely seize the opportunity, and he hurriedly called Zhang Feng and Zhang Shou and other five generals of the Zhang family's army, and gave them the order to charge and fight.

Now Zhang Chao is indeed not completely sure that something must have happened, but he doesn't want to wait any longer. Fighters are often fleeting, and if he makes a decision after he has figured out everything about the situation, he is afraid that it will be too late. In that sentence, there is no soup.

Without understanding the situation, it is full of certain risks to act rashly, but Zhang Chao believes that this time it is worth taking a risk. Because with the combat power of the Zhang family, even if this is a trap set by the other party, they can kill it again. Having said that, the army of Rus, which originally had the advantage, did not need to carry out such a risky act at all.

Five generals were called, and the order was given to pursue and inflict heavy losses on the Rus' army.

Zhang Feng and the other five have been waiting for a long time, and now they finally have the opportunity to show their skills, and none of them will be polite, and they immediately swear a swear, patting their chests and guaranteeing that they will be able to complete the task.

Under the preparation, the five generals were just leaving the tent not long ago, and the 30,000 Zhangjia light cavalry and 20,000 Zhangjia heavy cavalry soldiers were draped on the battlefield.

The terrible sound of bull's horns shook the valley, the light cavalry on both wings roared to meet the attack, and the heavy cavalry also unstoppably strode arrogantly, like a black sea tide swept over the ground, killing the retreating Rus' army.

The cavalry that suddenly appeared was far beyond Yesenin's estimate, and the general he left behind was also shocked by the scene in front of him. He couldn't figure out where this cavalry had come from, and why it hadn't been seen during the previous three days of attack. Could it be that in the face of his own attack, the Emperor of the Celestial Empire has always retained his strength? Could it be that he trusted his infantry so much?

It's just that no matter how you think about it, reality can't be changed. The cavalry of the Zhang family army roared in, and without sufficient preparation, the Rus soldiers were simply swept away in the face of the 50,000 Zhang family army, and there was almost no resistance.

Far away, without even waiting for the two sides to make contact, the bow and arrow of the Zhang family light cavalry shot over, its strength is so great, the accuracy of the shooting, it is impossible to describe it in words, it seems that the general who left behind the pad, because he was shot in the neck in the first round of bows and arrows, and died alive.

As soon as the main general died, the Rus army, which was originally shocked by the might of Zhang's army, was even more chaotic, and when they found that the other party was getting closer and closer to them, some soldiers chose to flee because of timidity. As a result, the battle line began to collapse, and the heavy cavalry of the Zhang family, who had just arrived, found a breakthrough and began to rush straight in. In front of the specially made elongated long knives and halberds, they are not one of their generals at all, and wherever the heavy cavalry of the Zhang family has been completed, all they leave behind are the corpses of Rus soldiers in one place.

With such a powerful combat power and killing intent, the Rus' army, which was already somewhat scattered, fell even more directly, so that they did not dare to meet its edge later, and only cared about their own escape.

The 50,000 Rus' soldiers, who were only half an hour on their own, completely dispersed, except for nearly 20,000 corpses, and the others were nowhere to be seen, either surrendering or fleeing.

After breaking the left-behind army of the Rus army, the heavy cavalry of the Zhang family was like a bamboo all the way in pursuit, and when it reached the rear of the Rus army, it was like entering a no-man's land, allowing it to be slashed and killed.

Yesenin didn't expect Zhang Chao's counterattack to be so strong, and after he knew that the 50,000 troops sent out were completely defeated, he knew what a big mistake he had made. If he had known that the Celestial Empire's army was so strong, he would not have left only 50,000 defenders.

It's just that it's too late to say anything, and even if the order to withdraw has been given, there is only one way to go down. Even now, when he has to get up and defend, I'm afraid it's too late.

Thinking that the only mistake is to make a mistake, it is better to quickly retreat to Pahan City and go to rescue the second prince. Ye Sening simply did not send troops to entangle with the heavy cavalry of the Zhang family, but led the army to accelerate the speed of retreat.

Ye Sening did not accept the offer, preferring to risk the damage of the soldiers and quickly retreated, which was somewhat unexpected by Zhang Chao.

It is said that the Rus country is a fighting nation and has never been willing to suffer losses, and now it seems that it will not be like this, and it will admit that it will also admit that it has suffered losses. It's just that he admires this Ye Senin a little, at least this person does not hesitate to do things, and immediately decides to retreat, and carries out the military order, which makes him unable to make the decision to pursue deeply.

Although the Zhang family heavy cavalry is a cavalry, if it is only in terms of speed, it is not much faster than the infantry, and even for a long time, because of the weight, I am afraid that it is not even as fast as the ordinary infantry. Let such an army pursue it without limit, and once it encounters strong resistance, it is likely to pay a heavy price.

Zhang Chao didn't want to take risks, and instead of chasing cautiously, it was better to point the spearhead of the army at the Rus soldiers near Dahu Mountain.

The order was given to stop the pursuit, and Zhang Chaoqin led the army straight in the direction of Dahu Mountain. At this time, the Rus' army here was also in chaos.

Like General Yesenin, Mikhail and General Pudding received a letter of help from the second prince, Ivan, asking for help. But the attitudes of the two are indeed not the same.

According to General Pudding's meaning, even if Emperor Ivan is in danger, then the army should be rescued, but in this regard, Mikhail confirmed that this is simply the plan of the Celestial Empire, in order to let them come back, but in fact, they have no ability to threaten Prince Ivan now, because all kinds of intelligence have long shown that the Celestial Empire's army on the northern front is only one hundred thousand cavalry led by Commander Huang Zhong has not appeared.

In other words, it is likely that the raid on Phra Han City was this 100,000 cavalry.

It's just 100,000 cavalry, and it is obviously impossible to threaten Prince Ivan, so there is no need for him to return to help, but he should first destroy all the Celestial Empire troops in Dahu Mountain, saying that as long as these people are destroyed, the 100,000 cavalry will just be a lone army, and it will not be able to achieve any climate.

This set of remarks is not only the meaning of Mikhail, but also the meaning of the minister Utkin who followed him. He had done too many wrong things before, and now he was desperate to make meritorious contributions.

When Mikhail made his decision not to return to the army, Terekin, who was with General Puding, immediately expressed great anger. As one of Prince Ivan's most trusted ministers, he decided that he couldn't let the prince have an accident, so in front of several people, he accused Mikhail of being disobedient.

Being so accused, Mikhail turned his face with Terekin in public, you must know that once such a crime is confirmed, it will be the crime of killing the head and connecting the nine clans.

After the unhappy parting, the matter was not effectively resolved, and the two Rus' armies, which were originally united in advance and retreat, also became estranged. And that very night, the Pudding army did not even say hello, and began to withdraw.

Obviously, they wanted to force Mikhail to withdraw his troops in this way, because without the help of Pudding's army, it would be impossible to encircle and suppress the 800,000 troops of the Celestial Empire in Dahu Mountain with only 600,000 troops.

Pudding withdrew his troops, which really caught General Mikhail off guard, and just when he was still thinking about withdrawing or fighting, the Celestial Empire army of Dahushan had already begun a frantic counterattack because of the reduced pressure.

Because of the lack of troops, the several major road armies of the Celestial Empire, which have been suppressed, have long been suppressed and, and now they finally have a chance to fight back, and no one is willing to give up. Although they still have not figured out why the Rus' army retreated. It's just that instinctively, seeing that there is hope for a counterattack, everyone didn't leave their hands.

The sudden counterattack caught Mikhail's army by surprise. Pudding didn't say hello when he left, so he didn't do anything to prepare, and he thought that the two sides would negotiate again about whether to return to help, but now it turned out that they were left here.

The counterattack of the Celestial Empire army was very fierce, and after Mikhail sent troops to fight several battles in the dark night, he finally saw the situation clearly, that is, he was afraid that he would not be able to stop the counterattack of the Celestial Empire army by himself, and even so, he had to start ordering the army to prepare for withdrawal.

In the fierce fighting of the night, both sides paid the price of no less than 50,000 casualties. And at dawn, Mikhail led the army to begin to retreat, which was also a choice made in desperation.

After a night of fighting, the Celestial Empire army did not show any signs of fatigue, and on the first day, after receiving news that the Pudding army had indeed withdrawn, even Mikhail, who had been left behind, was preparing to retreat, and they became crazy.
