Chapter 1265: Herding Sheep

The cavalry of the Zhao family army controlled the speed of the horses, kept the formation forward, a distance of several hundred steps, if they kept running and charging, they would slow down when they came to the enemy, and the cavalry of the Zhao family army in the front row would put the spears in their hands flat, and the back ones were each prepared.

When I saw the city of Tianjin, the defeated army that ran in front of me finally breathed a sigh of relief, it is always safe to have the city to shelter, after experiencing the battle under the city of Jinghai, we also know that this city can not stop the people of Xuzhou, it may be advanced into a rest and replenishment, and then it is good to run, the general who commanded this defeated army has been cheering everyone up, saying that you can enter the city to replenish as early as possible, if you are advanced by other battalion heads, I am afraid that you will not let the people behind you come in.

It was a guerrilla in Jizhen who led the collection of this army and horses, because he did not bear the brunt of the attack, and saw the opportunity on the battlefield quickly, the strength of the headquarters is still there, and he still has some other thoughts, because all the troops on the battlefield are defeated, and the vitality is greatly damaged, if he takes this opportunity to catch more soldiers and horses, his strength will increase, and his status will be raised after he returns.

It's just that I didn't expect that the cavalry of the Zhao family army was already waiting here, and it was waiting all night, maybe the cavalry of the Zhao family army was still yawning, but the horses were recuperated and full of rice and wheat.

When I saw the neat queue of cavalry constantly appearing, and rushing over in front of me, the fear of yesterday's defeat that had not been forgotten resurfaced, and I didn't react at first, and when I saw the helmet, the chest armor, and then looked at the neat queue, everyone understood.

In fact, when the officers and soldiers saw this neat queue, they knew that it was the Zhao family's army, except for the Xuzhou thief, whose cavalry was as neat as the foot soldiers, thinking so much useless at this time, or fleeing for their lives first.

With the rush of the cavalry of the Zhao family's army, these thousands of defeated troops collapsed directly, and the guerrillas in the team did not love to fight, and even the soldiers and horses of the headquarters could not take care of it, and left directly with their own soldiers.

The cavalry of the Zhao family army did not cause any casualties, these thousands of officers and soldiers are fleeing, and those who can't escape will kneel down and surrender directly, there is no courage to engage in battle at all, it is easy to fight here, but the city of Tianjin can not see the details, only feel that the killing sound here is shocking, the smoke and dust are in the sky, presumably it is in a stalemate, at this time, it is a good time to send troops out of the city to meet the inside and outside.

Ji Xiang has always pressed in the back team, in such a battle, even if he does not take the lead, no one will cower and retreat, his mind is not even on the side of the defeated soldiers, from time to time he turns his head to look in the direction of the city, this side comes and goes, but there are people who climb up to the high place of the grain tun, desperately waving the red flag in their hands, even if there is dust covering their eyes, but they can still see clearly.

After seeing this, Ji Xiang took out the copper whistle from his arms and blew it hurriedly, on the battlefield where the sound of hooves was like thunder and shouting and killing everywhere, the whistle did not spread far, but the nearby companies could hear it, this was enough, and even the people who heard it began to blow the whistle.

Just under the whistle instructions, the cavalry of the Zhao family's army, which had begun to divide into separate companies to fight, began to turn, there is really nothing to be nostalgic about on this battlefield, this rout has been completely killed, such a worthless team, even if it can get together again, it is not a threat, it is just another kill.

When Ji Xiang led his troops to break through in the direction of the city gate, soldiers with flags climbed up on several grain camps, shaking flags from time to time to convey news, and after the brigade had completely turned, the sparse cannon sound rang out.

Hearing this cannon, the cavalry of the Zhao family army cheered, but Ji Xiang, who was on the horse, couldn't help but scold, "What kind of cannon, don't scare the enemy back!" ”

After shouting this, Yoshika shouted directly to a personal soldier beside him: "Go and tell the gunner not to open fire!" ”

Over there, the soldiers turned to leave, and Ji Xiang muttered to herself: "If you can take the opportunity to rush into the city and take down this Tianjin city, this credit will be great." ”

The six cannons that can reach far away and cause enough damage are the six cannons, because the artillery is placed separately, and there are three three-pounder cannons that can't be hit because of the angle, but two six-pounder cannons and one three-pounder cannon fell near the city gate, which also caused more than 20 people to be killed, so that the officers and soldiers were panicked.

The short-term panic did not let the officers and soldiers retreat, Tianjin City was at a loss, but as soon as the officers and troops in the south came, their morale was immediately boosted, and they were eager to fight.

After going out of the city, they were killed and wounded by artillery bombardment, but the generals who led the team drove the soldiers and horses forward, those artillery positions set up between the grain and the warehouse they had already seen, the distance between the dock area and the city was not far, as long as the city was lined up, an impact could capture the cannons, if it was impossible to advance or retreat on the side of the city gate now, it would be a disaster, condescending on the city, you could see a lot of things, in addition to the artillery position, but also saw the cavalry of the Xuzhou thief army pouring out, this is not a great opportunity to be.

What made them even happier was that the cannon fell silent after a round of fire, which on the contrary urged the soldiers not to hesitate and to calmly line up outside the city.

However, this joy did not last long, the smoke and dust in the distance were still there, but the cavalry of Xuzhou was directly killed back, there were hundreds of cavalry in Tianjin, nearly 3,000 foot soldiers, the head of the battalion of this size, naturally there was no way to compete with the two thousand Xuzhou cavalry outside the city, and the commander of the army in Tianjin also knew this, the reason why he dared to go out of the city was to join forces with the outside, his own family was less, but there were more people outside the city.

Who would have thought that the Xuzhou cavalry moved so fast, defeated the officers and soldiers who "came to help", and immediately killed it again, when they saw the cavalry of the Zhao family army running, the Tianjin officers and soldiers who had just lined up and had not yet acted suddenly panicked, and the hundreds of cavalry led by them reacted quickly, without saying a word, they ran directly towards the city, and the foot soldiers who stopped in front were all killed.

However, Tianjin City's reaction was fast enough, when he saw the cavalry of the Zhao family army killing over, the soldiers guarding the side of the city gate immediately began to close the city gate, and those who ran in were lucky, and those who were too late did not pay attention to it, and the officers and troops outside were directly scattered, looking at the Xuzhou cavalry so full of beard and tail to kill back, who still couldn't understand the fate of the "reinforcements", it was important to escape!

The horse team led by Yoshika ignored the officers and soldiers lined up outside the city, he just wanted to rush directly into the city, but he was still a step slow, before crossing the moat, the drawbridge had been pulled up, Yoshika also knew that there was nothing to do, and after scolding a few words below, he returned to his team and rearranged the defense of the lower grain storage area.

The battle back and forth is only an hour, for the Zhao family army is commonplace, but the fleet is dizzy, they are at sea all the year round, although it has been until the Zhao family army is strong, but there is no specific concept, today I saw that two thousand cavalry is so devastating and decaying to sweep the officers and troops, calmly deal with it, this makes them realize that the Zhao family army compared to the official army, how strong is it.

The people of the Zheng family's gang and the Yu family's fleet reacted differently, while the Zhao family's own sailors were excited and ecstatic, they were nothing at sea, all the way north, and there was nothing to raise their eyebrows, after today's battle, the awe of the other forces could already be clearly felt, and they were naturally happy and excited.

Not only did they realize this, but the civil and military officials in Tianjin City also knew that half an hour after the battle, that is, at lunchtime, the north gate of Tianjin City was opened again, and under the guidance of the horse guards, some people fled to the west and north, even if they didn't chase it, Ji Xiang could judge that this was the leading figure in the city, they were going to Jingshi and Jizhen to report the emergency, but Ji Xiang didn't want to block the news, and there was no need.

The battle under Jinghai City has determined the overall situation of Beizhili, the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu have been broken, Jizhen has been defeated, and the Beijing camp is unbearable, and the officials and troops of Zhending Mansion, Baoding Mansion and Hejian Mansion have been defeated continuously, not to mention any combat power, and the next step is just the pursuit of Zhao Jiajun's victory, and Zhao Jin wants to do that.

Every time I think about this problem, Ji Xiang is a little anxious, when he followed his parents to set up a stall to sell cooked food, he never imagined that he would be so rich in a few years, and he would lead the army to fight in the east and west, and even the world was close at hand, but Ji Xiang also knew that his eldest brother would not take the world this time, he had his own overall plan, and he didn't want to be so fast.

Ji Xiang couldn't figure out why he was so slow, why didn't he pick the fruit in front of him, and he was even more anxious about when he could enjoy the wealth, the rush on the battlefield was happy for Ji Xiang, but he also liked the mellow beauty, it was okay in Xuzhou, and the short stay in Qingjiangpu made Ji Xiang know what wealth and enjoyment was, and he also knew that these rich and noble enjoyment were not out of reach, he could get more and better, as long as the eldest brother led everyone to seize the world, but Zhao Jin was never in a hurry, which made Ji Xiang a little unbearable.

Thinking about it, Yoshika would not tell others about his thoughts, he knew that he also liked this kind of life of galloping horses and killing enemies in the wind, but he had more expectations for wealth and enjoyment.

But now there is not much leisure to ponder, there are more and more routs rushing to Tianjin, they fled and plundered everywhere after the rout, and it is difficult to move at night, it is good to appear at this time, or in groups of three or five, or form a brigade of hundreds or thousands of people, the strength in Ji Xiang's hands, except for the sailors on the ship, everyone else was sent out, and took turns to drive away the rout of the official army.
