Chapter 70: The Fall of the Yan Army's Cavalry
Seeing that the Yan army was gradually weakened, the morale was completely lost. Liu Yu immediately led the soldiers to remove the obstacle and rushed into the valley. Liu Yu took the lead and shouted loudly, "Brothers, kill me" Under Liu Yu's instigation, the Ming army rushed forward without fear of death. Just kidding, the three princes are all at the forefront, you take a step back and try!
The Ming army was imposing, the morale of the Yan army was not much left, and in this narrow valley, the cavalry could not charge and could not exert much strength. As soon as they made contact, the Yan army collapsed, and people continued to surrender.
Seeing that the Yan army was about to be unable to hold on, the cavalry commander of the Yan army jumped out again, "Brothers, rush!" There are so many of us that as long as we rush out, we can survive. Under the encouragement of the cavalry commander, the morale of the Yan army rebounded and began to work hard to resist the attack of the Ming army.
Seeing that victory was in sight, but someone disrupted the situation, Liu Yu's mood can be imagined. "This bastard, he's fucking looking for trouble again." ”
At that moment, he rode the Purple Winged Lion King and chased after him, and as soon as the Purple Winged Lion King's momentum was released, the surrounding war horses instantly trembled and knelt down. Many Yan cavalry did not react at once and were thrown to death.
Liu Yu smoothly rushed to the cavalry commander and poked it with a single shot. Liu Yu, who was angry, burst out with one hundred and two percent of his strength and struck hard.
There was a sudden change in the war horse, and the cavalry commander certainly noticed it. The first thing he did was not to investigate the cause immediately, but to do the duty of a general, constantly encouraging the soldiers around him to prevent the morale of the soldiers from plummeting.
When Liu Yu came to the cavalry commander's side, he didn't react, only to see a golden light flash, a pain in his throat, and then he lost consciousness, and his death can be said to be aggrieved.
Liu Yu took the opportunity to shout, "The main general is dead, surrender and don't kill"
The death of the cavalry commander became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The Yan army lost its backbone, and its morale suddenly danced, and it didn't take long for all of them to surrender.
The battle was decided, and Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. "The divisions quickly cleaned up the battlefield, collected the prisoners, and moved quickly."
The cavalry of the Yan army was exterminated, and the Yan army must have been afraid and did not dare to attack easily. What's more, without cavalry, now the Yan army only has infantry, that is the kind of goods that have been beaten, or the kind that can not fight back if they are only beaten.
Annihilating the cavalry of the Yan Army, everyone was very excited. In addition to the excitement, the huge enthusiasm that erupted made the speed of cleaning the battlefield much faster. In less than an hour, the battlefield was cleaned up.
Of course, the most excited among them is Zheng Xingyun, he is not very old, he is in his twenties, he is proficient in riding and archery, and his skills have reached the acquired realm, which can be regarded as a genius. He is the 5,000 elite commander captain that Chen Wen handed over to Liu Yu, and he is also one of the young people that Chen Wen is more optimistic about. This time, Liu Yu was given 5,000 elite cavalry without horses, and Chen Wen couldn't help it, so he reluctantly handed over Zheng Xingyun to Liu Yu, which was a little compensation.
After a while, Zheng Xingyun took the seizure list and walked towards Liu Yu. Liu Yu wiped the gun in his hand and asked, "How is it, how is the harvest?" ”
"Your Highness, we have really made a lot of money this time. The cavalry of the Yan army suffered more than 7,000 casualties, surrendered more than 12,000 people, and fled less than 1,000 people. Your Highness, we have also harvested more than 10,000 fine war horses. This time, the subordinates finally knew why His Highness only needed 5,000 elite cavalry instead of horses. It turned out that His Royal Highness had already made up his mind to seize the Yan Army's war horses for his own use, and his subordinates were ashamed. ”
Now Zheng Xingyun really looks at Liu Yu with admiration, and he really admires Liu Yu from the bottom of his heart. In the military camp before, he often heard how the Third Highness used soldiers like a god and how brave he was. These Zheng Xingyun thought that it was blown out, the previous reputation of the Third Highness was there, even if there was a change, it was impossible to change so much.
Now, Zheng Xingyun is truly aware of his ignorance, the Third Highness is more wise and martial than the legend, and it is definitely a wise choice to be loyal to him.
"Who said I want the Yan Army's war horses and train cavalry?"
Liu Yu's words obviously shocked Zheng Xingyun's heart, if you don't need the Yan Army's war horses to train cavalry, why do you need five thousand elite cavalry! Zheng Xingyun, who was puzzled, couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, your subordinates don't understand"
Seeing Zheng Xingyun's puzzled face, Liu Yu smiled, "Your Highness has a better mount for you, a hundred times better than a war horse." ”
Liu Yu's words not only did not solve the puzzle, but made Zheng Xingyun even more puzzled, "What mount is a hundred times better than a war horse." However, Liu Yu didn't elaborate, and he didn't dare to ask.
At this time, it was not yet the afternoon, and the Yan army was still desperately attacking the city. On the other hand, less than a thousand Yan troops broke and ran frantically towards the Yan army camp.
"What, you said that our 20,000 cavalry, except for less than a thousand remnants, the rest of the army was wiped out, how is this possible? Do you know what it is to lie about the military? ”
After learning that his cavalry had been wiped out, the general of the Yan army was furious. He couldn't believe it, but he had to believe it. After all, military law is strict, and no one dares to lie about the military situation. The total annihilation of the cavalry made him a little afraid, and as a general of the unified army, the expression of fear was very simple, that is, anger. The greater the anger, the crazier the way to vent, which proves that the Yan army's general is more unsettled and fearful.
"The subordinates are true, and they will never dare to deceive the general. Our army was ambushed in the Valley of the Wind and Clouds, and its morale was low. General Zhao was attacked and killed by enemy generals in the battle, and all the soldiers were leaderless, so they were defeated. ”
The words of his subordinates made the general of the Yan army completely believe the news that the cavalry unit was completely wiped out. Suddenly, the anger in his chest was unsettled, and he kicked his subordinates down. roared loudly, "Everyone died in battle, how did you come back, it is clear that he was afraid of death and escaped from the battle." Come on, give this, greedy for life and afraid of death, pull it down for me, cut it down! ”
Under his hands, his face was so frightened that he couldn't stop kowtowing and said, "The general spares his life, spares his life!" His begging for mercy did not make General Yan Jun change his mind, and General Yan Jun waved his hand. The guards on the left and right dragged down the unlucky ones who kept begging for mercy.
The adjutant general on the side saw the general's angry appearance, and hurriedly persuaded, "The general is angry, judging from the current situation, the opponent's troops are insufficient." As long as we are careful, there is nothing the other side can do. Search the Ghapai scouts everywhere, and as long as we find their camp, we can wipe them out without much effort. ”
"It's nice to say, it's not that simple!" At this time, the general of the Yan army also suppressed his anger and began to worry. This Ming army is not extinguished, and he is uneasy.
Obviously, the general of the Yan army at this time was very uneasy, and the absence of cavalry meant that the army he led had fallen into a situation of being passively beaten. Maybe when, people will come to sneak attack, and if he fights and leaves, he can't help it.
Of course, that's not what worries him the most. What worries the general of the Yan army the most is that this army can quickly form a cavalry if it mixes up the war horses of its own cavalry. When his own army was at the most critical point of attacking the city, this army suddenly came out and cut off his own army, and if he didn't do it, his side would be overturned.
"Alas" General Yan sighed, now he has no good way, he can only defend passively. Just in case, when besieging the city, he left behind an army of at least twenty or thirty thousand men. In this way, the siege army is only 50,000 or 60,000, and there are 20,000 defenders in the other county, I am afraid it will be difficult to fight!
It all harmed this army, otherwise Lao Tzu wouldn't have been so passive. However, the adjutant general was right, as long as the scouts were sent to search carefully, sooner or later their camp could be found, and they could be wiped out without much effort.
On the other hand, Liu Yu asked people to take prisoners and hand them over to Chen Wen for disposal, and led the army to find a place with abundant water and grass to set up camp.
After the camp was stationed, Liu Yu ordered the five thousand elites, each of whom chose two war horses, and tried to achieve one person and two horses. The camp is stationed, the water and grass are abundant, and it can just be used for grazing, which is enough to raise the war horses fat and strong.
Looking at the sergeants grazing everywhere, Liu Yu nodded with a smile. Zheng Xingyun on the side was full of doubts, "Your Highness, didn't you say that you don't need to train cavalry with Yan Army's war horses, why now?"
Liu Yu stared at Zheng Xingyun and saw that he was furious. After that, Liu Yu joked: "Who said that I used the Yan army's war horses to train cavalry? ”
Zheng Xingyun pointed to the sergeant grazing in the distance, and asked nervously, "Then what are you?" ”
"Oh, that's what you said!" Liu Yu seemed to have a sudden realization, "This is deliberately for Yan Jun to see"
"Huh!?"
