Chapter 421: I didn't even see the face
Zong Han, who had come back to his senses, looked at the hill, his eyes were full of surprise, he couldn't figure it out, obviously he didn't see any ambush soldiers on the hill.
But what is such a change at this time, even at this time, he still did not see where the ambush soldiers on the hill were.
However, with the sound of banging, he finally saw a burst of fire under the mound.
It was the appearance of those fires that would cause such heavy casualties to his cavalry.
He was furious, and shouted at the cavalry in front of him: "Take that mountain for Ben Shuai, and pull out the enemy hiding in it...... Ben Shuai wants to see who it is...... Dare to kill me, Jurchen warriors......"
With his angry shouts, the three thousand cavalry of the rear army began to rush up the hillside. That hillside wasn't huge. The cavalry marched side by side, capable of marching about three hundred at a time.
Three thousand cavalry could rush towards the hill in ten echelons. It's just that because of the hills, even the cavalry has a strong speed advantage.
However, the speed is also much slower, only slightly faster than the speed of people.
But this speed is enough for the cavalry to rush up the hill, Zong Han has absolute confidence, his cavalry will definitely be able to rush up the hill and pull out the enemy among them.
By the time the cavalry charged on the hill ahead, the cavalry leading to the mouth of the gorge had been killed to less than three hundred.
In the confusion, they finally managed to stabilize their formation and joined the team that charged the hills.
Zong Han's eyes sank like water as he watched the cavalry charge, and the killing intent in his eyes became stronger and stronger. But at the moment when his cavalry charged, another roar rang out.
The fire ball that appeared directly fell into the charging cavalry, and the moment the fire ball fell, the cavalry in the vanguard was immediately killed and wounded, and the formation of the forward rush was also chaotic in an instant.
However, there were still some cavalry who rushed to the halfway point of the hill, and it only took about a dozen breaths to rush up the mound.
When Zong Han saw this, the coldness in his eyes reached the extreme, and he believed that as long as he rushed up to the mound, the enemy in front of him would never have a chance again.
But just as he was thinking this, from behind the mound, a burst of unknown objects were thrown out, and when these things fell at the feet of the cavalry, there were bursts of explosions, which immediately killed and injured a large number of cavalrymen.
Then there was a burst of fire with a thudding sound, and the cavalry, who had just rushed halfway up the hill, fell straight down, and the horses were frightened again, and they all rushed backwards.
Such an impact suddenly caused a great confusion among the charging cavalry, and the three thousand cavalry could not maintain the best attack formation before they rushed to the waist of the hill.
Not only that, but the roar exploded in the cavalry formation with something like a ball of fire. The number of casualties of the cavalry was again expanded.
When Zong Han saw this, there was only shock and disbelief in his eyes, and the disdain he had just had already been replaced by consternation.
When he came back to his senses, the 6,000 cavalry in the vanguard had been killed and less than 1,000 were left and escaped.
Those who fled back were still left behind. The war horse was frightened and retreated, only to pick up his life.
Looking at the hill in front of him, where the attack stopped, Zong Han's eyes were full of anger, and his fists were about to make himself bleed.
The battle was over, and the six thousand cavalry he sent were slaughtered in less than a quarter of an hour.
The war horse is almost dead, running and running. In the gorge in front of him, there were all the corpses of the cavalry, and those stumps and broken arms made Zong Han almost run away.
It's ridiculous, he was still mocking Jiang Chao for being guts just now, and he was still thinking about how to destroy the army. But just then the battle began, and more than 5,000 people were lost at once.
And on the hill, the river tide in the tunnel passed through the tunnel, looking at the Jurchen brigade below, and the corners of his mouth slowly hung a strange color.
"Sir...... Will Zong Han escape with his brigade?! Or is it ...... to retreat and find another way? At this moment, a Yelang clan general on the side looked at Jiang Chaodao.
When Jiang Chao heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and before he could speak, Yue Pengju on the side said lightly:
"Zong Han is unruly and does not take anyone in the world in his eyes, and since their Jurchen army, there has never been a defeat, and now, he not only lost 2,000 cavalry before, but also lost his generals, and now, just in battle, more than 5,000 people died, how could he bear such a humiliation."
"If he doesn't capture us, he will never leave, even if he wants to leave, I'm afraid, I have to wait until he feels compelled to go."
As soon as Yue Peng said this, Jiang Chao nodded slightly, he really deserved the same name as the great hero in his previous life. Military talent is not weaker than that of that at all.
The judgment of the enemy is well prepared, and he can even understand Jiang Chao's intentions.
From the moment Jiang Chao let the first batch of 3,000 cavalry enter the gorge, Jiang Chao was ready to let Zong Han fight to the death.
His tactics this time can be said to be a blocking battle, or it can be said to be a positional battle. It is to take advantage of the position in front of you to wear down the enemy's vital strength and morale little by little.
If Zong Han's cavalry launched an attack just before they reached the gorge, although they could also reap certain results, they would definitely not be greater than the current results.
In any case, it is necessary to carry out positional warfare, and in the first battle, of course, the maximum results will be the main result.
Otherwise, when Zong Han reacts, he wants to harvest more cavalry under his command at once, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.
And Yue Pengju on the side looked at the corpses on the front position, and his eyes also showed a sense of consternation at this time, he didn't expect that the weapons of the subordinate army were so powerful.
Before the enemy could get close, five thousand were killed or wounded. Not to mention the dead on my side, not even the injured.
At this time, he also felt the horror of the weapons in the hands of the soldiers. With these weapons in hand, maybe the Western Route Army of Zonghan and the Jurchen Army can really stay here.
Because of the fiasco in the first battle, Zong Han did not blindly let his cavalry launch a surprise attack again.
After all, if you don't find a way to deal with Jiang Chao's disciples, such an attack will definitely be in vain.
It's just that the ambush of the disciple army in front of him is really terrifying, and it is even more difficult to get through than to ascend to the sky.
However, Zong Han will never retreat and leave, no matter how difficult the army in front of him is, he will gnaw it down. It's about his face.
What's more, he has never tasted defeat, and now he has just engaged in battle, and he has not even seen the face of the enemy, so he has been defeated so badly, how can he be willing to withdraw from the army.
If he doesn't take down the ambush enemy on the hill, he will never give up, even if it costs a lot. He will also slay down the enemies above.
