Chapter 857: One Hundred Chasing Three Thousand
It was just a confrontation, and it was their cavalry and comrades who fell from their horses, which frightened the others.
The dragon army is so sharp, how can it be stopped?
Originally, the Yi family army was a mess with money, and few people were really hardworking. When he saw the might of the dragon army, he didn't say a word, turned around and ran.
Say a thousand things and ten thousand, nothing is more precious than your own little life.
Joining the Yi family army, they can barely eat, but they can't eat enough, and this benefit is not worth their lives.
The two thousand cavalry of the Yi family army at the beginning, after being killed by hundreds of people, the others invariably ran backwards, is this a pain for the Yi family army infantry behind them?
Before many of these infantry could figure out what was happening, they saw their own cavalry turn their horses and turn back, and then the shouts of killing were getting closer and closer, followed by some dragoons armed with golden dragon sabers appeared in front of them.
These dragon army cavalry are all brave and swift, as soon as they see these infantry of the Yi family's army, they will slash with their swords, and they don't even have a superfluous action.
This frightened the Yi family infantry who ate mixed rice.
Speaking of treatment, they are not even half as good as the cavalry, especially in the environment where the entire Liao country has fallen into a food shortage, and they have not eaten enough for many days.
"Run, these are a bunch of murderous devils."
In the chaos of the night, I don't know who shouted first, and then more and more people began to flee backwards. Some of them threw their weapons on the ground in order to run faster, as if these things were cumbersome.
The double gong in Hu Yanqing's hand has long been stained with blood, and I don't know how many Liao soldiers died in his hands. But he still didn't mean to give up, and he was still yelling, looking like he was going to kill more enemies.
In fact, just now, he was also a little bold in his heart, after all, the news he got was that the Liao army had sent 30,000 reinforcements, and he only had more than 3,000 horsemen here, if he was surrounded by the other party, it would be a very dangerous thing.
The wisest thing to do is to wait for a while, and wait until the headquarters of Wang Cai's 3rd Brigade behind them catches up, and they will pursue them in one place.
It's just that Hu Yanqing didn't want to delay the time, he was afraid that this would give the Liao army more time to prepare, so he killed him. Then he found out that what he did was right, these Liao soldiers did not have any will to fight, and they were often crushed at the first touch, which also made him more courageous. While roaring, he lunged forward, not even thinking about whether he was alone or not.
Hu Yanqing pursued quickly, and the Liao soldiers were defeated quickly, especially those infantry, almost when they saw a cavalry rushing in front of them, they instinctively knelt down and surrendered. Under such a quick rout, it greatly surprised Yi Baiqing's expectations, so that he didn't have more time to make other preparations, and he was halfway through the transfer of troops, but he suddenly saw that not far away became chaotic, which was a situation created by Hu Yanqing and bringing people to kill.
"Damn, how did it come so quickly?" Secretly scolding the soldiers' waste in his heart, Yi Baiqing also had to turn around and flee, while running, he also loudly ordered the soldiers to resist, but how many people can obey this order, then only God knows.
Xiao Yuan, who was in shock, once again stepped into the journey of escape.
I thought that if I reported to Yi Baiqing's department, it would be safe. But now that I look at it, it's not like that at all, it's a waste army.
Especially Yi Baiqing, he is blind in appearance, he seems to be a hero, but in fact he is not as good as a bear. I didn't even know that the army was concentrated, and the formation was chaotic at one rush, and it was a waste.
Xiao Yuan didn't want to think about it, if he hadn't led the army to attack the opponent's formation, how could Yi Baiqing have been defeated so quickly.
This is a typical example of fighting fast and fast.
In World War II, Germany made a blitzkrieg, invincible and indestructible, if it weren't for the lack of logistics supply, the tank assembly group stopped for half a month in the ice and snow, because of the cold weather, the gasoline could not be started, I am afraid that in the end the old Soviet Union will be captured, and the world pattern will be rewritten
。
Hu Yanqing played a fast, like lightning, that is, to kill people when they see them, and to chisel through them when they see the enemy, so that the goal of severely inflicting heavy damage on a large number of enemies with the elite strength of a small army has been completed.
In addition, the war was fought in the dark of night, and the Liao army, whose nutrition could not keep up, became blind one by one, and they couldn't even see the appearance of the dragon army clearly, let alone talk about how many dragon troops they knew were coming.
The soldiers of the Dragon Army eat iodized salt, and they are all sharp-eyed in the dark night, and their morale is extremely strong, so they will naturally get twice the result with half the effort when they fight.
Not to mention other reasons, in short, the Liao army was defeated on the battlefield, and the two armies together, a total of 50,000 people, were chased and beaten by the second brigade of the People's Army, which only had more than 3,000 people.
Along the way, you can constantly see the Liao soldiers who surrendered because they were afraid, and they threw down their weapons one by one and knelt on both sides of the official road.
It can't be said that they are completely afraid of death, but because they get too little, it is not enough for them to die.
Hu Yanqing became more and more excited, and when he chased the enemy, he completely forgot where he was, and the officers and men of the entire Second Brigade were just like him, and those who pursued the enemy lost their formation, and the company could not find a battalion, the battalion could not find a regiment, and the regiment could not find a brigade.
I don't know how long I chased it, but the sky finally brightened, and the scenery in front of me became clearer and clearer. Xiao Yuan and Yi Baiqing also saw each other's embarrassed side.
The armor on his head was crooked, and his face was full of sweat, and he didn't know if he was scared or tired.
When you can see each other, the situation on the entire battlefield begins to come into view. It was this look that made the two of them suddenly angry.
Without it, behind them, there was indeed a dragon cavalry chasing them, but the number was only about a hundred, on the other hand, there were at least three thousand Liao cavalry who fled.
One hundred chasing three thousand?
The 3,000 men fled with great joy.
For soldiers, this is a great shame.
"Bastards, these bastards."
"Rubbish, it's all rubbish."
The two of them scolded almost in unison, and after glancing at each other, they shouted in unison again: "There are not many dragon troops, let's kill them, kill them!"
"Kill!"
The other Liao troops also saw that the dragon army chasing them behind them was only a hundred horsemen, and they suddenly became confident one by one.
Before, it was because it was dark, and I didn't know the situation behind me at all, so I just knew how to blindly run away to save my life. But now, seeing that the dragon army behind him only has 100 horsemen, where will he retreat?
With 3,000 killing 100 people, they have an absolute numerical advantage, and they will definitely seize this opportunity to bully people.
The three thousand Liao cavalry turned around almost at the same time, and then chased after the hundred dragoons behind them.
"Withdraw, retreat, find the main force to converge." The leader of the dragon army was a company commander, and when he saw that the Liao army had reacted, and the strength of the army was thirty times that of his own, he was able to fight, and after the next order, he rushed backwards with a hundred knights.
The two sides began to exchange chases, and on the battlefield, the sound of the Liao soldiers shouting and shouting and killing was heard.
This is not an isolated case, and it has been heard on many local battlefields. In many places, a small number of dragon troops are chasing most of the Liao army to kill, and now that it is dawn and the field of vision is broadened, the Liao army has finally reacted.
It's only at this time that I come back to the taste, and it's obviously too late. Just opposite them, the commander of the third brigade, Wang Cai, had already rushed over with the main force. Behind him, followed by tens of thousands of Dragon Empire helpers.
A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.
A soldier who does not want to be a regular soldier is not a good peasant soldier either.
For these peasant soldiers, the most important thing they want to do is to become part of the regular army, so that they will be paid more than double.
Emperor Su Shi stipulated that in addition to special talents, ordinary soldiers who want to become regular soldiers must go through the tempering of the battlefield. In other words, it is necessary to help peasant soldiers if they want to become regular soldiers
It was necessary to go through the transformation of the peasant army and the auxiliary army.
In the face of this process, the best thing to do is to make more military achievements.
Now that the opportunity has come, so many scattered Liao troops are in front of them, isn't this a good opportunity for them to get ahead?
The eyes of the more than 10,000 peasant soldiers were red, and they were stimulated by the upcoming military exploits.
When they followed Brigade Commander Wang Cai into the battlefield, they were a little tiger who had just come out of the mountain, and they belonged to an existence that was absolutely unprovoked.
"Kill! Make military merits and become a regular soldier!"
"Kill."
There was no even need for any mobilization, and more than 10,000 peasant soldiers were killed on the battlefield, but wherever the Liao army appeared, their existence could be seen.
And these peasant helpers are very bold, chasing and killing the enemy when they see them, and they don't think about how many people they have on their side or how many people they have on the other side. For them, only by fighting more with less can they make more military achievements and may enter the ranks of regular soldiers.
"Brigade Commander, do you need to send troops to help them?" A regiment commander of the Third Brigade couldn't help but say with some worry when he saw the peasant soldiers behind him rushing out under the shouting.
The training time of these peasant soldiers is still short, and if they continue to rush like this, losses are inevitable.
"No, I don't." Wang Cai shook his head and said, "It always takes a process for the chicks to grow up, and this is also a process of elimination, we can't always help them in secret, we have to give them the opportunity to grow. Only those who have gone through the test of life and death and can survive are the real warriors, the real elites."
Wang Cai didn't know that if this kind of rushing continued, there would definitely be casualties, and there should be a lot of them. But war is cruel in the first place, this time he can help, and next time?
