Text Chapter 800 Caiyang Road Army Destroyed
For example, Hood is one of them, and it is by virtue of his courage and bravery that he quickly became a squad leader, then a platoon commander, a company commander, and now a battalion commander.
Such a person naturally has nothing to say about being brave in battle, but his military vision is still a little worse.
As the battalion commander, Hood gave the order, and the five hundred soldiers below naturally had to carry it out. The military law of the Celestial Empire is not a joke, the commander in chief gave an order, even if the people below have any opinions, they need to be said after the war, and it must not be mentioned in the process of fighting, which can only play a role in disturbing the morale of the army.
The battalion commander of Hood gave the order, and the five hundred soldiers began to work in squads, each looking for favorable terrain, and took out the bows and crossbows on their bodies one by one, preparing to shoot at a distance first.
The time of a pillar of incense passed quickly. When the time came, one of the Rus' soldiers was killed by the arrow as Hood was the first to shoot the arrow. And this was a signal to move, and then hundreds of arrow feathers were released one by one, shooting straight at the Rus' soldiers who were carrying food.
The sudden bow and arrow really caught the Rus soldiers off guard. Without preparation, more than 200 soldiers were killed by bows and arrows, and the formation was chaotic for a while. But after all, it was a soldier, and it was still daytime, and they judged that there were not many enemies by the number of bows and arrows, and their fighting spirit and morale were quickly boosted, and then they launched an effective defensive formation, and after stabilizing their positions, they began to counterattack.
Hood, who could repel the enemy after a wave of offensives, saw that the battle situation did not develop in the direction he imagined, on the contrary, they also began an effective counterattack, and the bows and arrows of both sides were back and forth for a while, and there were casualties among each other, he knew that he could not fight in love, after all, his troops were not as many as the other party.
"Withdraw." Even if they couldn't take advantage of anything, Hood resolutely retreated, movement warfare, sneak attack warfare, intrusion warfare, and changing places with one shot is the essence of their battle, all of which is called guerrilla warfare according to Emperor Zhang Chao's words.
Hood led the army to retreat, according to the previous custom, he only needed to retreat, the Rus' army would never pursue for the sake of food, but this time it was the opposite, they actually abandoned the food and chased after it.
Seeing the more than 1,000 Ross pursuers behind him, and seeing that there were only more than 300 people around him, Hood was a little annoyed. What's going on today, how is it that things don't go according to common sense?
"Battalion commander, they're catching up, and they're running fast, what are we going to do?" It was still the deputy battalion commander, who had a bad feeling when he saw that the sneak attack could not be achieved, but was glued.
"What else can I do? Lead them to the place of Deputy Commander Cai and destroy them all. Hood looked unhurried and unannoyed. The opponent only has more than a thousand pursuers, and once they are lured to the place where their army is, it will only take a few minutes to destroy them.
In this way, one escaped and the other chased, and both sides left the official road and began to enter the mountains.
Hood deliberately wanted to lure his pursuers to the place where the army was annihilated. In this regard, the Ross pursuers behind him seemed to have not heard of it, and kept hanging behind him, as if he did not know whether he was alive or dead.
It took two hours to chase and escape, from morning to noon, from the official road to the place where the deputy army of Caiyang was grown, Hu De finally breathed a sigh of relief, although he did not succeed in robbing the grain, but he did lead the enemy to the front of the army, which can be regarded as a meritorious service.
Hood breathed a sigh of relief and ordered his soldiers to stop, for he had seen his soldiers coming from near and far to support him, and now was the time to fight back. It's just that he never thought that when he turned around, the Rose pursuers behind him actually stopped, and wanted to retreat.
"It's all here, do you still want to go? It's late. Hood looked at the Rose pursuers and seemed to be frightened, and immediately snorted coldly, and then chased after him with more than three hundred soldiers, he wanted to blood the shame of being chased just now.
When reinforcements came, Hood's first battalion was demoralized, and even the speed at which he ran was very fast, so that he was getting closer and closer to those Rus' soldiers.
"Kill!" Just when Hood thought that he could inflict heavy damage on the Rus army, around him, countless deafening shouts suddenly sounded, and then from all directions, countless Rus soldiers appeared, dressed in grass-green military uniforms, like divine soldiers descending from the sky.
Looking at it from a distance, he couldn't count it, and Hood's face changed again and again, "This... What the hell is going on, where did so many Rus reinforcements come from? ”
"Battalion commander, I think we brought them here, and now it's broken, I'm afraid that Deputy Commander Cai's stronghold will also be discovered by the enemy, this seems to be a trap, they deliberately led us to do this." The deputy battalion commander also had a frightened expression on his face, a look of doing something wrong.
Needless to say, Hood also reacted at this time. He didn't expect that the Rus Army had been prepared for a long time, whether it was a sneak attack or a pursuit, it was all prepared a long time ago. In this way, only he was a fool, and he actually fell for someone else's tricks, which made Cai Yang's deputy army commander completely exposed in front of the Ross army.
Knowing what the consequences of this would be, Hood knew how much trouble he had done this time, presumably even if he had a lot of military achievements, with his current mistakes, he was afraid that it would be difficult to survive. Thinking like this, he gritted his teeth and said: "I'm afraid, it's a big deal to fight with the enemy." Sons, kill with me, kill one is enough, kill two to earn one. ”
Hood knew his fate, so he simply thought that it would be better to die on the battlefield, at least by doing so, he could also save his family in the Celestial Empire, and they might also be treated by the battalion commander's family.
Hood gave up his way to live, and rushed forward knowing that he would die. Then I saw that ten thousand arrows were fired, and when more than 300 hundred Heavenly Dynasty soldiers faced the countless Rus' army, they didn't even roll a single wave, and just shot them all in place with bows and arrows.
Hood was killed in battle, and the Cai Yang army, which was originally preparing to cooperate with them in the attack on the Rus soldiers, also found that the momentum was wrong, and immediately hurriedly retreated, and at the same time informed their deputy commander Cai Yang of the news.
Cai Yang was one of the 15th Route Army of the Celestial Empire.
When he set out on the expedition, he brought with him an army of 200,000 Celestial Empire and 15 days' rations. Along the way, after dozens of battles, a lot of military rations have been robbed, and the number of people has changed from the original 200,000 to about 170,000 now.
Hiding here, Cai Yang planned to take a rest first, and the food he grabbed during this time was enough for him to eat for a while. At the same time, he sent several reconnaissance battalions to investigate the enemy's situation, and also to look for fighters.
Unexpectedly, Hood fell into the trap of the other party, attracted the main force of Ross alive, and led it to himself, so that the land of his army was tantamount to being exposed.
According to the emperor's intention of Zhang Chao, the main guerrilla warfare was to fight, rather than to fight hard, which made it impossible for the 15th Route Army to take out any army alone, and it would not be the opponent of the main army of Rus'. So once you encounter it, it will definitely be more than lucky.
Unfortunately, Cai Yang has encountered such a thing now, he is surrounded by Mikhail of the Rus army, there are 600,000 Rus' army, the ratio of three to one is more, which makes him fall into danger.
"Things are not good, Deputy Commander, do you want to ask for help?" A division commander heard that there were many Rus' soldiers outside the army, and they had surrounded them in four directions: east, south, west, and north.
"There's no need, it's too late, so if you do this, you can only let the other road troops suffer as well. If you are lucky enough to break out, please kill more Rus soldiers in the future to avenge General Ben. Cai Yang had a determined look on his face. At this moment, as the chief general of this army, he must not escape, and in terms of military law, without the chief general of the army, he cannot be called a chief general, and he is afraid that he will be punished by strict military law when he goes back.
"Deputy Commander." Hearing that Cai Yang was going to fight for his life, several division commanders in the tent were all half-kneeling on the ground, with painful expressions on their faces.
"Okay, don't be sad, it's fate for a soldier to die on the battlefield. Prepare for a breakout, by the way, gather all the explosives we have brought, and set them on fire for me, so that we can't leave the enemy at all. Cai Yang's eyes were full of blood-red, a state of death fighting.
Cai Yang's order was issued, and the 170,000-strong Celestial Empire army began to break through, and they wanted to kill it while the other party's encirclement had not yet been fully formed, so that the hope would be greater. Cai Yang himself took his own soldiers and 50,000 Heavenly Dynasty troops to meet the main force of the Rus' army, and along the way, they kept igniting and detonating the explosives in their hands, showing a powerful momentum.
It's just that the Rus army was prepared, and the number of troops was more than three times that of Cai Yang, and after a battle, it lasted for four days, and finally the 170,000 people of the Celestial Empire's army were annihilated by nearly 150,000 people, and only more than 20,000 people escaped through the chaos, and Cai Yang, the deputy commander of the army, himself died on the battlefield.
Cai Yang's army was wiped out along the way, and the news was quickly spread through the 20,000 soldiers who had escaped, which made the Rus soldiers under the second prince Ivan a great shock. In comparison, the other route armies of the Celestial Empire in this vicinity were also furious and murderous.
