Chapter 323 Where is the Eastern Qin Kingdom going?
Qin Siyong had a bit of suppressed anger, and after leaving only 200,000 troops to defend the city, he personally led a million troops out of the city, wanting to eat Lin Zhiqiu's 900,000 troops in one bite.
Because of the relatively close distance, as soon as the army led by Qin Siyong left the city, Lin Zhiqiu already knew the news, and immediately waited for it, and decided to confront Qin Siyong's army head-on and fight it out.
The two armies faced each other, and the momentum was comparable, and the Eastern Qin army was motivated by the emperor's personal expedition, so its morale was high, even if it was just a temporary patchwork of miscellaneous troops, it also had a bit of pride.
And Lin Zhiqiu led 300,000 cavalry troops left by Bala, 500,000 came here with him, 100,000 were left by Mu Qianmei, and 80,000 of them were temporarily recruited in the Eastern Qin State.
Lin Zhiqiu put the 100,000 left by Mu Qianmei at the back of the team, the Chinese army in front was the cavalry left by Bala, and the two wings on both sides were the teams led by himself.
Qin Si looked at Lin Zhiqiu's already lined up team from a distance, and looked at Lin Zhiqiu with eyes like knives.
After all, it is the Ninety-Five, and his eyes swept from afar, which made Lin Zhiqiu feel a little cowardly in his heart inexplicably, confronting the other party's emperor head-on, and the number of people is not as good as the other party, can this war be won?
However, he knew that no one should be allowed to feel the hesitation in his heart now, because he was the commander of the army at the moment and the soul of the Yun Yu ** team.
He cleaned up his mood for a while, and also looked coldly in the direction of Qin Siyong, without flinching.
Qin Siyong raised his hand, waved it lightly, and ordered:
"The Chinese army is fighting!"
As a result, the 300,000 cavalry troops, under the leadership of the 50,000 Imperial Forest Army, rushed towards Lin Zhiqiu's team with great momentum.
Lin Zhiqiu was not to be outdone, waved his hand, and also ordered:
"The Chinese army is fighting!"
Cavalry to cavalry, war horses galloped and soon met in the middle of the battlefield.
Just from the formation of the team, the advantages and disadvantages can be seen at a glance, the 300,000 cavalry of the Yunyu Kingdom almost maintained the formation and rushed towards the other party neatly, while the team of the Eastern Qin State, after all, was a temporary patchwork army, except for the 50,000 Royal Forest Army in front was relatively neat, the team behind it was very messy, and some couldn't even control the war horses, and blocked the cavalry behind, and the momentum of the appearance was a little weaker.
However, fortunately, the 50,000 Imperial Forest Army in front of them were all formed by experienced masters, and the momentum they formed was as if they were a million army, completely resisting the oppression brought about by the 300,000 cavalry of Yunyu Country moving forward neatly.
In terms of troops, there were 300,000 in Yunyu and 350,000 against the Eastern Qin State, and in terms of numbers, the Eastern Qin State had the advantage.
The two armies met in the middle, and the battle was immediately together, with people roaring and neighing, and the battle was very fierce.
The 300,000 cavalry of Yunyu Country, which are all professionally trained for a long time, in addition to the neat formation, they can also cooperate with each other when killing the enemy.
And the Eastern Qin State took the lead in the Imperial Forest Army, and their combat effectiveness was not low, and they also trained together for a long time and could cooperate with each other perfectly, so when the two armies just fought, the Eastern Qin State still had a slight upper hand.
However, they only have 50,000 people
, placed at the front of the team, it is like a thin wall, although the material is very good, but unfortunately it is too thin, and it can't withstand the collision of 300,000 troops.
Of course, before breaking through, the cavalry of the Cloud Feather Kingdom could be said to have sacrificed thousands of people in a single moment, because they were not the opponents of the Royal Forest Army at all.
However, it was only a short time of incense, and after paying the price of thousands of people, the Yunyu ** team broke through the defense line composed of the Eastern Qin Army's Imperial Forest Army, and then rushed to the middle of the Eastern Qin cavalry team, and when they reached the middle ground, the disadvantage of the Eastern Qin cavalry immediately emerged.
In front of the regular steppe cavalry, they were not vulnerable at all, and there were few who could fight back, and most of them were knocked off their horses by one face.
The function of their existence seems to be to block the speed of the cavalry of the Yunyu Kingdom, and then give the 50,000 Imperial Forest Army enough time to kill the enemy, and they can only be killed.
As a result, there was a very strange picture on the battlefield, the cavalry troops of the Yunyu Kingdom rushed forward and backward in the cavalry team of the Eastern Qin Kingdom, stabbing left and right, and many of the cavalry of the Eastern Qin Kingdom were powerless to fight back, but when they encountered the Royal Forest Army, the people of the Yunyu Kingdom would also be quickly killed.
It's like a game scene, and it's all about the speed of killing enemies.
No matter how powerful the 50,000 Imperial Forest Army is, it can't compare to the speed of more than 200,000 people moving at the same time.
Even if the 50,000 people of the Royal Forest Army kill one person in a time, the more than 200,000 people can only kill 100,000, and the rate of consumption is completely different.
The cavalry of the Eastern Qin State was slaughtered one by one, and the rate of casualties was far greater than that of Yun Yu's ** team.
An hour later, the cavalry of the Eastern Qin Kingdom, plus the Imperial Forest Army, was only about 150,000 people left, and the cavalry troops of the Yunyu Kingdom were still about 220,000 people.
After another half an hour, there were only about 50,000 cavalry left in the Eastern Qin Kingdom plus 30,000 Imperial Forest Army, and there were still 1450,000 left in the Yunyu Kingdom, the situation on the battlefield was already very clear, and the Yunyu Kingdom had an absolute advantage, and at this time in the battle, the men and horses on both sides were already very tired, and Lin Zhiqiu immediately ordered:
"Left Wing Army, Right Wing Army, go to war!"
The two teams immediately rushed forward, and the ones who rushed to the front were all pikemen, and their joining immediately relieved the pressure on the cavalry troops, and at the same time, Qin Siyong also waved his hand again, and his left and right flank armies also joined the battle.
In terms of numbers, the Yunyu Kingdom has a slight advantage, there are a total of 550,000 soldiers on the left and right wings of the Eastern Qin Army, while the Yunyu Kingdom only has 500,000 people, but the number of cavalry remaining on the battlefield, when the Eastern Qin Kingdom only has 50,000 left, there are still 120,000 people left in the Yunyu Kingdom.
In terms of formation, the middle position of Yunyu Country is the cavalry unit, and the two wings on both sides are infantry cooperation, and the Eastern Qin State is also in the same formation, however, there are more cavalry left in Yunyu Country, and at this time, the advantage is more obvious against the infantry.
The three troops are in a cone-shaped, the cavalry is the blade that rushes to the front, everywhere they go, the troops of the Eastern Qin State are all casualty in pieces, and the remaining 50,000 cavalry, including nearly 20,000 Royal Forest Army, at this time the combat effectiveness is not as good as before, they retreat while fighting, and the more they fight, the less they fight.
Finally, the cavalry of the Eastern Qin Kingdom in the middle of the battlefield had been completely killed and wounded, and even the Imperial Forest Army was all killed, and of course, the cavalry troops of the Yunyu Kingdom were only 80,000 horses.
Yes, these 80,000 cavalry were like the tip of a knife, smashing into the center of the infantry units of the Eastern Qin State, like a blade piercing the heart, invincible, and kept charging forward.
Seeing that he was about to pass through the infantry unit and reach the rear of the Eastern Qin army, Qin Siyong waved his hand lightly again, and the 100,000 troops behind him immediately joined the battle.
Lin Zhiqiu saw that the opponent's newly joined troops were all full of energy, and his cavalry troops were already very tired, so he immediately ordered the cavalry troops to retreat, and the infantry fought against the opponent's infantry.
So, the remaining 80,000 cavalry on the battlefield finally got a respite, and they slowly withdrew from the battlefield and came to the rear, where both men and horses stopped to rest.
The combat effectiveness of the infantry is stronger in Yunyu Country, but in such a battlefield, it is not very obvious, because there are too many people, and in the chaotic battle, there is also a bit of luck in it.
After two hours of fighting, the casualties of the Eastern Qin State were greater than those of the Yunyu Kingdom, and on the battlefield, there were still 300,000 people left in the Yunyu Kingdom, while there were only about 250,000 people left in the Eastern Qin Kingdom.
At this time, Lin Zhiqiu still had 100,000 troops unmoved, plus 80,000 cavalry, there were still 480,000 people left, and only 250,000 were left who retreated from the battlefield of the Eastern Qin State.
Yun Yu Kingdom exchanged 420,000 casualties for 750,000 casualties of the Eastern Qin Kingdom, it seems that the miscellaneous army is a miscellaneous army, and its combat effectiveness is not as good as the regular army after all, even if Qin Siyong personally supervises the battle, he is unable to return to the sky.
Seeing that the soldiers on both sides were exhausted on the battlefield, the commanders on both sides glanced at each other from a distance, and then each paid their own troops.
Whether Qin Siyong wanted it or not, he could only temporarily retreat to Lanjing City.
That night, both sides rested quietly and did not launch another sneak attack, although Qin Siyong's troops were not much left, but if they could not hold out, it would be far from enough for Lin Zhiqiu's people to attack the city.
And Qin Siyong looked at the remnants of the army in front of him, and he had no interest in launching a sneak attack.
As soon as he returned to the palace, he saw Zhang Xiaoting's application for withdrawal from the army, there were still 1.5 million troops left on his side, and there was no chance of winning the attack on Yuehua City, so returning was naturally the best choice.
But will they be able to retreat unharmed? Mu Qianmei would definitely not let them retreat completely, as long as she had the opportunity, she must find a way to eat all that force.
That was the real main force of the Eastern Qin State.
Qin Siyong finally saw the current situation clearly, the main force is now divided into two ways, 500,000 cavalry on the way back, is about to be intercepted by Mu Qianmei and Bala, and 1.5 million in the opponent's Snow City, can not attack, retreat is difficult to retreat, as the base camp of the Eastern Qin State, Lanjing City is now very empty, such a situation can be said to be very unfavorable to the Eastern Qin State.
The total strength of Yunyu Kingdom is still 2.15 million led by Zhuang Shujun of Yuehua City, Mu Qianmei has 100,000 with him, Bala has 600,000, Lin Zhiqiu has 480,000, and there are 3.33 million in total, and they all occupy a favorable position, and the Eastern Qin State still has 1.5 million left from Zhang Xiaoting, 500,000 who rushed back to rescue, and 450,000 who defended the city by himself, adding up to only 2.45 million.
And the 500,000 reinforcements are about to be intercepted and besieged, which is in danger.
The chess game has reached the endgame stage, where should the Eastern Qin Kingdom go?
