Chapter 104: The Cavalry Victory
Since the Pucha Li family has set an example, the other Jin soldiers have also followed suit, armor, arrowheads, bows, arrows, horse bags...... The more things were thrown, the more they were thrown, and except for the necessary weapon, everything seemed to become a burden, a burden to delay the escape
The flag-bearer looked left and right, and saw that there were more and more people who surpassed him, and finally let go and threw away the general flag of the Pucha Li family, lowered his head, and stepped up to urge the horse to flee.
The Red Turbans chased closer, but as the Jin Army threw away their armor, the two sides began to maintain a fixed distance again, galloping one after the other.
The physical strength of the horses is also very consumed, and both the chasing and fleeing sides have their own difficulties, and they are also gritting their teeth and persevering, and no one is willing to give up easily
Wang Xian suddenly threw off the horse bag, including the dry food inside. Then the cape, then the armor, then the wet clothes, and finally the helmet.
A brave warrior shirtless, bald-headed, glaring-eyed, and clenched with a big gun, he took the lead, and his fierce nature was fully displayed.
Seeing that Wang Xian had already jumped out of several riding positions, the generals behind him also reduced their burdens, some threw a lot of bare-chested shirts, and some threw less and wore cloth clothes and helmets, but the speed was indeed faster, and it was a little closer to the tail of the Jin army.
The captain of the "adult" personal guard galloped on his horse, glanced back, and his face showed a look of determination, "Humble duty leads the team to block for a while, and the adult escapes safely" After speaking, without waiting for Pucha Li Jia to answer, he waved his knife and shouted: "Brothers, fight with the enemy!" Turn around and rush to kill, and survive in death" After speaking, he slowed down his horse
The guards are all the confidants of the Pucha Li family, and they have received the most favors and are the most loyal, and when they heard the captain's shout, many people responded with the voice, slowed down their horses, and turned back.
There was a look of hesitation on Pucha Li's face, but then he grabbed the horse's belly and continued to gallop forward.
These guards are fighting to the death, buying some time to get themselves out of danger. And their fate was already sealed, and those few men and horses could not stop the enemy's cavalry at all. If you stop yourself, won't you live up to their loyalty?
"Dying and struggling, it's a pity it's a little late" Wang Xian's face flashed lightly
The enemy stopped and was head-on.
But the distance is so short, from stopping to speeding up, it is obviously not enough.
However, the cavalry of the Red Turban Army always maintained the speed of impact, and this advantage determined that the counter-charge of the Jin Army was just a mantis arm blocking the car and killing itself.
Cavalry hedging is all about speed, and whoever is slow is more likely to be hit.
Wang Xian understood this truth, and the Jin Jun on the opposite side also understood. But despite their desperate efforts to move their horses and bravely meet the overwhelming pursuers, the disadvantage in speed was inevitable.
"Kill!" "Kill!" Crazy shouts rang out almost simultaneously, and the two cavalry slammed into each other.
The clashing of weapons, the shouts of men, the screams of men, and the neighing of horses resounded over this not wide avenue.
The tip of the spear on the opposite side flashed, stabbing towards Wang Xiandang's chest.
Wang Xian did not dodge, with horsepower and arm strength, he slammed the gun with a slam, the two horses were staggered, and he shot the golden soldier off the horse with a horizontal handle of the gun.
The horse's speed slowed down slightly, but Wang Xian's power did not decrease, and he roared and stabbed out. The golden soldier on the opposite side waved his sword to block, and it felt like hitting a stone, and his strength was so great that he only deviated slightly, and still pierced into the enemy's left ribs.
Picking and pumping, the gun returned to his hand, and Wang Xian slammed it again, smashing it heavily on the shoulder and neck of another golden soldier
The battle of trapped beasts and the desperate impact of the nearly 100 gold army were finally defeated and eliminated under the attack of the cavalry of the Red Turban Army.
But while they brought casualties to the cavalry of the Red Turban Army, they also covered the escape of Pucha Li's family and bought time for Pucha Li's family to escape.
"Happy, happy." Wang Xian's body and face were splashed with blood and mud, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all, laughed and jumped off the war horse, hung up the big gun, and the tip of the gun continued to drip blood downward.
The battlefield was littered with dead bodies and weapons. The Red Turbans had stopped their pursuit and were looking for the corpses of the Pucha Li family. Another part of the cavalry rushed to the circuit, picking up the armor that had just been discarded.
"What?" A roar rang out, Sun Wuzheng's eyes widened in disbelief, and then he violently kicked a wounded Jin soldier into the muddy water, and kicked it a few times in disbelief.
He Sanbao heard it well beside him, and hurriedly ran to Wang Xian and said, "General, the Pucha Li family has escaped alone, let's continue to chase!" ”
Wang Xian was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought about it, then raised his head and instructed: "I must have fled far away, I can't catch up!" ”
"Lao Wang, let's chase it again!" Sun Wuzheng was not reconciled and said stubbornly.
Wang Xian smiled bitterly a little helplessly and said, "Okay, just stop chasing for a while!" Now that the big victory has been decided, even a small defeat will make Meng Shuai unhappy. This cavalry, but it was not easy to have these hundreds. ”
The clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and a light smoke seemed to be enveloped around them, and the haze was like falling into a dream.
The shouts of killing and the sound of horses' hooves could no longer be heard, but the Pucha Li family was still running away with their lives, completely ignoring the fact that the horses had already spewed white foam.
His mouth was scorched and his tongue was dry, sweat was rolling down his forehead, and his heartbeat was like the sound of a chasing horse's hooves, which frightened him to clamp the horse's belly again.
The whole army was annihilated and fled alone. The Pucha Li family suddenly wanted to cry, after so many years of fighting in the army, how could they have fallen into such a miserable situation.
I was wrong again, the enemy not only had ambushes to block the attack, but also hundreds of cavalry, which was really unexpected.
The war horse suddenly lost its front hooves and threw the cranky Pucha Li family off the horse.
Fortunately, Pucha Li's family is quite agile, his feet are stirrup, and his buttocks fall to the ground and roll out. It's embarrassing, but it's better than slamming it on the ground.
As soon as he landed, the Pucha Li family drew their knives in their hands in the tumbling fall, for fear that it would be another tripping rope and another attack.
There were no crossbow arrows, no javelins, nothing—well, nothing, just the mournful screams of fallen horses. The horse struggled to get up, but struggled a few times before falling down again.
Pucha Li's family was sure that there was no attack, so he stepped forward to take a closer look, and couldn't help but cry bitterly.
One of the front legs of the war horse was broken, and I don't know who dug a hole with a thick bowl mouth and a foot deep on the ground, which was covered by muddy water, which was quite immoral and hidden.
The Jin soldiers who escaped along the way and the chasing Red Turban Army have suffered losses and damaged some horses, this indiscriminate trap will certainly not choose people to kill, and at this time, it is quite deadly and dangerous to pit Pucha Li's family.
Blessings are not double, and disasters are not alone. Pucha Li family cursed secretly, isn't he unlucky enough, is it really to drink saliva and stuff his teeth?
There was no choice but to continue to escape with the help of his two legs, and the Pucha Li family glanced at the war horse that fell to the ground with nostalgia, and followed him to fight for many years, and finally even abandoned it.
…………
The woods were dark, and the sound of horses' hooves on the avenue was far away.
The Pucha Li family slacked off, and was so tired that they sat on the ground, leaning against a tree and panting, and sweat beads kept falling down their faces, and they almost vomited blood.
Damn thief, catch up again, you have to kill yourself! Pucha Li's family took a sip fiercely, but fortunately, his ears were sharp, his reaction was fast, and he escaped into the woods next to the road, so he could be regarded as escaping.
It's just that the Pucha Li family realized his embarrassed appearance, his face was torn by the branches, his clothes were torn, and he actually lost a boot, and his bare feet were punctured, and he didn't feel it at all when he ran, but it hurt so much when he stopped.
After resting for a while, Pucha Li's family tore off the rags on their clothes, gritted their teeth and wrapped their feet, then discerned the direction and embarked on the road of escape again.
I don't know how far I went, but in fact, it wasn't far, but the Pucha Li family didn't dare to take the big road, and it was not easy to judge the distance in the woods.
There was a sound of hooves on the road, and the Red Turban Army did not chase anything, and seemed to have no choice but to return. The Pucha Li family secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued to hurry up until they reached the edge of the woods.
A gray cloud that obscured the moon drifted by, and the clear light of water washed away the soft night, and a large rice field came into view of Pucha Li's family.
Holding on to the trunk of the tree to rest for a while, the Pucha Li family listened carefully to the movements around them, and after thinking that there should be no danger, they walked out of the jungle and limped forward along the edge of the rice field.
In the woods in the distance, several pairs of surveillance eyes immediately stared at the slowly walking Pucha Li family, as if watching a beautiful woman walking over, full of eagerness and excitement.
Unleashing the horse's chew and turning over on the horse, a dozen riders suddenly rushed out of the woods and fanned out towards Pucha Li's house.
"Pucha Li's family, where are you going?" Sun Wuzheng laughed heartily, and kept making strange noises in his mouth, "Oh throat, oh ha! ”
Wang Xian rolled his eyes, and said in his heart: This is not my clever plan, I ambushed and waited for the rabbit, and waited for the Pucha Li family to run out by himself.
However, seeing that the great work was done, he didn't want to deal with Sun Wuzheng, so he just pressed it coldly.
When it was over, out of instinct, the Pucha Li family turned around and fled, and without running a few steps, his feet were slippery, and he stumbled and rolled off the field stalk and fell into the rice field. When I got up again, I was covered in muddy water, wet braids were scattered, and I was extremely embarrassed like a chicken in soup.
"Hahahaha." The Red Turban Army riders who surrounded him burst into laughter and slowly surrounded Pucha Li's house.
The laughter was full of disdain and contempt, and on the faces of the Red Turban cavalry, the Pucha Li family saw mockery and insults, and their eyes looked more like they were looking at a leper dog whose spine had been broken.
Humiliation, resentment, remorse, unwillingness, thousands of tastes came to my heart at once. The Pucha Li family raised their knives, brandished them, turned around, and howled at the surrounding Ming cavalry, like a beast struggling when it was dying.
"Catch a job and give it to Meng Shuai to dispose of?" Sun Wu seemed to appreciate the performance of the Pucha Li family, and the saber pointed loosely and obliquely, and asked Wang Xian.
"Whatever, Meng Shuai didn't explain anyway, and this kind of goods are not rare." Wang Xian pursed his mouth and said coldly.
"Let's go together!" Sun Wuzheng snorted in a low voice, beckoned He Sanbao to urge the horse to rush forward, the horse's hooves splashed with water and mud, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Pucha Li's family.
"Ah, kill!" Pucha Li's family suddenly shook off the wet hair in front of him, and slashed at Sun Wuzheng first with a knife.
With a sound of "dang", the knife of the Pucha Li family, who was weak and cold, was easily blocked by Sun Wuzheng with the help of horsepower, and his body shook even more.
"Hey!" He Sanbao let out a low sigh and slashed at Pucha Li's house with the back of his saber knife.
Pucha Li's family barely raised their knives to parry, but their legs could no longer withstand the pressure from top to bottom, and they knelt down all of a sudden.
A gust of wind passed by his ears, and Sun Wuzheng slashed down with his knife, and the heavy back of the knife was smashing on the shoulders of the Pucha Li family. With a long scream, the bones of Pucha Li's family were smashed, and they fell headlong, rolling in pain.
Several horsemen jumped off their horses, grabbed the hair and set up the Pucha Li family, and dragged them away. One of the cavalrymen thought he was screaming and scooped up a handful of mud and stuffed it into his mouth.
The moonlight was dim, and it was shining on the painfully deformed muddy faces of the Pucha Li family.
………………
Before dawn, Meng Jiucheng led the army out of the camp and entered Laiwu City.
The Pucha Li family, and even the Jin army led by him, Meng Jiucheng didn't care too much about whether they could be completely annihilated or severely damaged.
The strategic goal has been achieved, and the final outcome of the Jin army fleeing to Tai'an will not be too good, it is only a matter of time.
And with minimal casualties, the victory was achieved, which of course would satisfy Meng Jiucheng.
When Wang Xian and Sun Wuzheng returned with the cavalry, Meng Jiucheng expressed a certain amount of surprise at the results achieved.
The cavalry was always trained, and although the number of horses was small, they were distributed to the armies in hundreds, and the infantry took turns to practice horsemanship.
In this expedition, Meng Jiucheng was the first time to gather soldiers with excellent riding skills and martial arts from various departments to participate in the battle, and he formed a cavalry of more than 400 people.
I'm afraid that even he didn't expect the cavalry attack to have such a big result. Although the Jin army was not completely annihilated, it was basically completely dispersed.
Of course, while Meng Jiucheng paid more attention to the development of cavalry, he was not arrogant.
At present, the Jin army in Shandong did not have many cavalry, mainly because they suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Mongolian army, and lost their horse-producing land and most of the horse farms.
To be precise, the era of the Jin State entering a serious shortage of horses began with the first attack of the Mongol army.
Not only did the Jin State lose its 400,000 troops, but even the herdsmen were robbed by the Mongol army, and all the military horses were robbed, which made it difficult for the Jin State to form a large-scale cavalry corps for a long time.
Coupled with the chaos in Liaodong and the hostility with Western Xia, the source of war horses has become a problem that plagues the Jin State.
It was not until Jin Aizong took the throne that he made peace with the Western Xia and made peace with the Western Xia, which slightly alleviated the difficulties of the war horses and was able to form the ironclad cavalry of the "Loyal and Filial Piety Army".
Therefore, there was a special reason for this great cavalry victory.
First of all, the Pujia Li family is a garrison force, and there are not many cavalry; Secondly, the Jin army defending the city is not a very strong force, and its strength is at a disadvantage.
