Chapter 1002: Rapid Change (2)
Qin Yude was also red at this time, full of energy, and shouted excitedly: "Pass my general order, gather the whole army, immediately send troops, and pursue at the end of the line!" I want to break the enemy in front of me in one battle, and I want to take Liangzhou City in one battle! ”
With his order, the surrounding generals who were already eager to fight were even more excited to agree, and then they each walked quickly towards the main camp, counting the troops and horses, and preparing to attack.
And Qin Yude turned around and called the horse, flew up, and with the gun in his hand, he was about to personally lead the Chinese army and horses to attack forward.
Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers were greatly encouraged, and they shouted one after another, and they wanted to follow.
The previous successive victories and successive victories were in stark contrast to the frustration and helplessness of the previous two days, which made the Pingtian army only feel impatient and unbearable, and only wanted to vent the anger in their hearts.
Now that the opportunity has come, it is natural that they are all brave and leave all their worries behind.
But it's not true that everyone has been enthusiastic, abandoning everything, at least one person, after being stunned for a while, still maintained a little calm, seeing that Qin Yude was about to leave, he couldn't care about it, hurriedly grabbed two steps, and grabbed the reins: "Big brother...... Governor, please listen to me. ”
"What do you want to say?" Being pulled by someone, Qin Yude glared at the person in front of him with some dissatisfaction, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was his own brother and an absolute cronie, he would have a seizure at this time.
Qin Yuxiang hurriedly said: "What the hell is going on in this matter is still to be discussed, at least we have to send a scout cavalry to investigate one or two first, and confirm that the enemy army has indeed completely retreated before pursuing!"
"What if this is a trap that the enemy deliberately led our army over? If they had laid an ambush in the rear, and we rushed through it so without any fear, the consequences would have been ......."
"They have always had the upper hand, how can they do so much and show such flaws? It is clear that there is a big incident in their rear, and they must return to the division to save them!
"And if it's really to lead us in pursuit, why set this fire and block our army's way?"
Qin Yude glared at his brother impatiently, and said loudly: "Get out of the way!" In this way, you will lead 20,000 men to guard the barracks, so that you can plan for everything, and this will be all right, right? ”
"Then it's better to ask the Metropolitan Governor to sit in the Chinese army, and I will lead the troops to chase after you. In that way, even if there is any trouble, with you here, I am not afraid of the collapse of the whole army......"
"No, I must personally lead the troops in this battle, so as to stimulate the morale of the whole army and take Liangzhou City in one fell swoop." Qin Yude was still stubborn, and then stared at the other party fiercely, "This is a military order, you must not say anything more!" ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned for his soldiers to step forward and drag his brother aside.
Qin Yuxiang saw that he had completely made up his mind, so he didn't dare to say more, sighed secretly, and let go of his hand.
Qin Yude suddenly kicked the horse under his crotch and rushed forward quickly, and the thousands of guards around him immediately followed, all of them rode and moved into the brigade in front.
Yes, after this delay, the soldiers and horses in the front battalion will move faster than Qin Yude, the commander, and the forward people and others have already completely run out of the gate, galloping forward along the flat and open official road, and rushing to the Vietnamese military camp with thick smoke billowing from the fire in front.
The fire burned so hard that it covered almost the entire barracks and completely cut off the road to the rear.
However, seeing this, Qin Yude was not worried but happy, because this just showed that the other party really wanted to hinder them from pursuing forward, which meant that the enemy really wanted to escape.
So what else is there to say? Before and after he came to the army, he quickly ordered: "Order the two battalions of foot soldiers to step forward, push away these obstacles, and then clear the road ahead, so as to open the pursuit channel for our army." ”
After a pause, he looked around again and shouted: "Gather all the cavalry of our army, hand it over to Yu Heng to lead, and the other soldiers and horses, follow me!" ”
As the third elder of the Qin family, Qin Yuheng has the weakest presence in the entire team among the three brothers.
But this does not mean that he is incompetent, on the contrary, as a general in the army, he is much more powerful than his two brothers.
It's just that he is a martial artist after all, except for leading troops to charge into battle, he has almost no other skills. And he is also quite self-aware, and has always only acted according to orders, rarely expressing his own opinions, so his sense of existence is low.
But when it really came to the battle moment to see Zhenzhang, he was undoubtedly the one who was the most trusted by Qin Yude among all the generals. This time, all the cavalry in the Pingtian Army were handed over to him.
Qin Yuheng immediately cheered up and shouted the order, and then quickly arranged to receive all the cavalry, quickly gathered them, and assembled them into a formation.
The strength of this Pingtian army is indeed huge, but the number of cavalry is really not too much, only about 8,000.
However, they were all scattered in various battalions before, but now they are all in one place, and they are quite majestic, with people roaring and neighing, and the movement is really not small. Perhaps only a person of Qin Yuheng's identity and ability could suppress them on the spot, so that this cavalry team of different genera would completely obey his orders.
After this busyness, the cavalry was ready, and the road ahead was finally cleared of a fire field under the busyness of seven or eight thousand men of the two battalions, and a road that could accommodate three or five horsemen to pass through quickly was opened.
Then there is nothing to say, Qin Yuheng took the lead, and he had already rushed forward, and behind him, eight thousand cavalrymen, also in a hurry, followed his footsteps, stepping on the scorched ruins, like an arrow off the string, rumbling and galloping away.
It wasn't until this cavalry rushed forward quickly that Qin Yude picked up the remaining tens of thousands of troops and moved forward slowly but steadily behind him.
Although he didn't fully adopt Qin Yuxiang's suggestion, he still made some arrangements that should have been.
For example, the 8,000 cavalry can be said to be to catch up with the retreating Vietnamese army as soon as possible and not to give the enemy a chance to enter the city calmly; There is also the intention of taking a step forward to find out whether there are ambushes ahead, and after all, it is more cautious.
Moreover, the main force in the rear led by him was even more step-by-step, pressing forward without hurry, and not giving any enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.
In this way, more than ten miles were quickly driven by them, and the Liangzhou city wall was faintly visible in front of them, and not far away, the sound of fighting was already ringing.
Obviously, the cavalry led by Qin Yuheng had officially caught up with the retreating Vietnamese army and fought with it.
And judging from the smoke and dust that continues to stretch forward ahead, it is obviously the vanguard cavalry team of his Pingtian Army that takes the initiative.
