Chapter 35: Killing is the beginning of the hunt
Zhou Yuji began to look back.
He knew that he had succeeded, because he had not seen the brave leader of Jiannu until he had staggered with all the Jiannu in the middle of the road, and the leader of the Jiannu cavalry would not disappear for no reason, which meant that he had been successfully killed by his own warriors.
"Rest! Report the battle damage! ”
Kill the leader of Jiannu, and now, you must stop attacking for a while. Experience told Zhou Yuji that he fought against Jiannu and killed their leader, and he could not continue to chase after him. Jiannu's military discipline is extremely harsh, when the leader is killed, according to military discipline, soldiers can't escape back, lose their leader, these soldiers will be beheaded when they go back, because they are equivalent to abandoning their own commander, even if it is a dead commander, it is not allowed, so Zhou Yuji needs to wait, not continue to fight with Jiannu.
The war horse slowly plated, and the two sides faced each other from a distance.
As Zhou Yuji judged, Jiannu's army was really strong, and it lost the supreme leader, these Jiannu cavalry were still not chaotic at all, and the formation was still very good, this is a battle-hardened warrior, Zhou Yuji also had to admire these Jiannu, they were indeed very disciplined.
For a long time, Zhou Yuji was unmoved, he was still waiting, and sure enough, soon, a Jiannu cavalry galloped away, and the direction was the large army of Jiannu, and Zhou Yuji smiled
When he got the news, he was dizzy, and Dumal died, and Dumal, who was known as the first warrior of the white flag, died.
"Grant Gurney the temporary leader of the cavalry, the cavalry is now shrinking, let the Mongols resist me for a while, and if you don't obey the order, kill them for me!" Let Gurney oversee the battle from behind! "Tulo is already a little confused, now let the cavalry shrink, let the Mongols resist, but those Mongols, they are not cavalry at all, just herdsmen on horses, let them fight against the enemy that the Jianzhou cavalry can't deal with, this is undoubtedly to send them to death.
Several riders galloped away, Tulo thought about it, he couldn't stop, once there were reinforcements from the Ming army, the consequences would be self-evident, he decided that it was more important to run quickly: "Speed up, don't leave the riverbank, keep moving!" ”
At present, the large army of Jiannu is advancing along the Ziya River, also known as the Wei River, and the Yongding River, which is further north, are the two main rivers of Tianjin Wei. Tulo is now short of water and fear, and the defeat at Wuqing Lake is still fresh in his memory. Anyway, he won't leave the river, there will be no more water shortage along the riverbank, and the Ziya River is also a barrier, he doesn't have to worry about the enemy from the south, the cavalry is most afraid of the muddy ground, and then the ice, so Tulo will definitely not leave the riverbank.
Two thousand Mongolian herdsmen were driven away, they had been frightened by the brave Ming cavalry, and now, let them attack those god-like Ming cavalry. Although they were unwilling, under the coercion of the blade, these herdsmen still gave in, and in the face of the oncoming Zhou Yuji, these Mongols did not even have the least formation, and they began to speed up.
"Scatter them, and then victory will be ours!" Zhou Yuji was full of confidence, these Mongols who were driven over were not afraid at all, as long as they started to rush, it was estimated that it would only take one impact for these herdsmen to collapse.
The facts show that Zhou Yuji thinks too highly of these herdsmen, and when they are far away, the sons of these horseback people shamefully run away again, and they go north, all the way north, as if the north is their paradise, and in fact, it is their home - the grassland.
Gurney, who had just been promoted to the rank of cavalry leader, was shocked to find that the Mongols had run away again, and they had not made any contact with the Ming army.
Of course Gurney won't run, he is a proud Jianzhou warrior, how could he run away from the battle shamefully, now, Gurney must fight.
The Ming rider on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, and as the horse accelerated, Gurney's heart began to pound, and he knew that Dumale's toughness was far from being an opponent. Since these Ming cavalry were able to kill Dumal, they could certainly kill him.
"The warriors of Jianzhou, kill all these Ming dogs!"
Knowing that this was cowardice before fighting, and knowing that it was a bluff, Gurney had no choice, and the harsh military discipline and the dignity of the warrior made him have no choice but to fight hard.
It was still Liu Qi who was taking the lead, the speed of the war horse was very fast, and the two sides collided together in an instant, just like Gurney himself expected, he was not an opponent at all, only two or three contacts, and the new cavalry leader Gurney fell off his horse cleanly.
Once again, Tuo made a mistake, and it can be said that he believed too much in his cavalry and in his ability to control large forces. It is impossible for the foot soldiers in the movement to form an effective defense in a short period of time, when the Ming cavalry led by Liu Qi appeared behind them, as the distance approached, the large army of Jiannu's foot soldiers was in chaos, they had already begun to run wildly, so many people ran wildly together, which meant that it was a prelude to collapse.
The foot soldiers could never outrun the cavalry, and the Jiannu foot soldiers, who had lost their organization, began to abandon the vehicles loaded with various supplies in order to flee for their lives. Tuo was also running away, he tried to stop and organize defense, but when he looked back and saw the scene behind him, he closed his eyes in pain, the difference between the servant army and the soldiers was too great, they didn't know how to fight and retreat at the same time, this kind of unorganized escape seriously interfered with the combat of the soldiers, there were too many servants, and it was their disorganization that made the large army form a frenzy of escape.
With a large amount of supplies abandoned, Jiannu's foot soldiers have been disorganized, and even Tulo issued an order to defend, with the current situation, I am afraid it will be useless.
"Interspersed!"
Zhou Yuji has participated in many battles similar to this, hundreds of people against tens of thousands, of course, it is not against Jiannu, but against the rebel army in the Ming Dynasty. For this kind of battle situation, Zhou Yuji is familiar with the road, the cavalry can't stop, can't rush into the chaos of foot soldiers, he only needs to keep killing those backward lambs on the periphery. The goal is to drive the enemy to flee, create fear in the enemy, and make the enemy more confused.
This is the so-called "driving sheep", and the purpose of "driving sheep" is to cause a collapse to the enemy.
Liu Qi and Zhou Yuji have a very tacit understanding, when Zhou Yuji begins to the left, Liu Qi will xiangyou, the two of them each lead a team of cavalry behind the enemy and the north flank back and forth non-stop, at the same time, they want to kill those backward enemy troops, this is the essence of "driving sheep", his effect is to create chaos, so that the enemy keeps running away, and then the goal is to completely defeat the enemy.
Tulo doesn't understand, weishenme will be like this? When were the Jianzhou warriors driven away by the Ming army like this, in his memory, this situation seems to have never happened, his army seems to be the expelled sheep, this seems to be the patent of the Jianzhou warriors to the Ming army, and now, it is completely reversed.
Iron hooves flying, everything is under control, as long as he sees a backward enemy, he will be killed, the number of personnel is too disparity, Zhou Yuji will not accept surrender, his purpose is to kill people, completely defeat Jiannu.
Tens of thousands of people fled, it was terrible to think about, this kind of scene can be described as overwhelming, and what is unbelievable is that there are only more than 1,000 people chasing and killing behind
The Jiannu cavalry on the periphery had given up their defense, they were far away from the large army and wandered, not because they were cowardly, but now that no one organized them, they were full of confusion after losing their leader, and they just watched the Ming cavalry slaughter their own foot soldiers from afar. It's not a question of bravery, it's a question of no one to organize, and in this incomparably chaotic situation, a blind attack without an establishment is tantamount to going forward and sending you to death. Everyone understands this truth, so these Jiannu cavalry can only watch from the sidelines without a leader, and can only avoid from afar.
Everything is in order, backwardness means death, all the Jiannu soldiers are desperately running forward, behind them are the Ming army knights wielding war knives galloping. Zhou Huchen rode his horse and slashed down a backward Jiannu soldier with a knife, and then he howled freely:
"Come on! Our hunt has begun! Let's slaughter these lambs and slaughter all the sheep that come to our door! ”
