The charge of the Xingzhou army did not bring too many casualties to An Mingqian's Yan army, but because of the shortening of the distance, the Yan army could save a lot of strength to pursue and kill, and of course, it also brought more time for General Jiang Yi and his personal guards to escape. To be honest, most of the soldiers brought by Jiang Yi to the north of Xingzhou this time were soldiers. The soldiers and horses of Star City are mainly guarding Xiaoyi, and rarely enter the army.

And these soldiers in the northern part of the criminal state, whether it is Nan County, Lu County or Yang County, most of the soldiers are veterans who have experienced the baptism of battle all the year round or generations of military households, whether it is the level of fighting spirit or military discipline and obedience, they are definitely not comparable to ordinary armies. Jiang Yi brought no more than 30,000 charging soldiers, several times to kill, at least tens of thousands of soldiers have been killed, and these days of hard fighting, and often harassed at night, so that the number of guards in the criminal state army has increased several times compared with the past, although the loss is not large, but the lack of rest at night has also greatly affected the combat effectiveness and spirit of these soldiers.

But until now, the Xingzhou army is still fighting to the death with the Yan army, but such a good soldier will soon be reduced to a lamb to be slaughtered. Without the command of the general, without Jiang Yi's personal soldiers to supervise the battle, the demoralized Xingzhou army would soon collapse.

Deserters began to appear, and with the first, there would be absolutely no shortage of the second. In less than half an hour, the Xingzhou army did not dare to rush and kill, and they all fled backwards as if they were desperate.

His Royal Highness the Prince, at this moment, the soldiers of the criminal state are like lost dogs. Let's chase and kill the whole army, our army will let go and kill the generals, and we will definitely be able to recapture a few camps in one fell swoop.

Xi Yi, the cavalry general of the personal guard, said that as a member of the Daro tribe, he is a master of mounted archery. After several bloody battles, when Fang Kandao reaped the results, he naturally wanted to maximize the victory.

Just release the arrow in the back, don't chase and kill in front of you, our army has fought hard repeatedly, and it also needs to be cultivated. When shooting arrows, try not to shoot the enemy to death, shoot more arms, and avoid the chest position.

An Mingqian ordered, what he is showing at the moment is the wolf pack tactics, and it is also the essence of the grassland cavalry tactics, of course, it is also Cui Xilie's specialty, through the light cavalry or chain armor of the elite cavalry, at night, through the neighing of war horses, a small amount of rockets and other methods to make the enemy unpeaceful, poor rest at night, unable to recover physical strength in time. During the day, it passes, sacrificing the old and weak, luring the opponent to chase and kill, and exposing the main force. In passing, the steppe cavalry lined up and shot at each other, so that the opponent was in a state of blood loss all the time. Then go on the offensive.

This kind of wolf pack tactics is not limited to one tactic. In essence, it is a manifestation of the military through various methods of wolf hunting. Its essence is to be stoic, ruthless, and sacrifice a part of the soldiers to find the enemy's vulnerable fighters, and then bite them hard. Causes the opponent to lose blood until death.

However, the implementation of this tactic requires not only good generals, but also first-class cavalry and archery soldiers, as well as grassroots officers who are experienced enough and proficient in tactics and cavalry formations, especially the grassroots officers who are still rushing to kill, such as team leaders, captains, and captains. The training of cavalry was extremely long, and it was definitely an extremely heavy burden for the Great Ji Empire, which was mainly agricultural. A cavalryman who really masters various cavalry formations, and fights on horses, archery without three or five years is basically a fool's dream. Moreover, the supply of war horses is also an extremely difficult problem to solve, and raising horses not only requires special pastures, but also requires a large number of people who know how to use horses. After all, before the horse accepts gelding, before the feeding season, it will be in chaos.

Although Xingzhou has its own horse farm, it is mainly used to maintain the survival of war horses, and does not have the ability to produce war horses by itself. But all this was not a problem for the Yan and Western armies in the north, which itself was a group of nomadic people who started in Huzhou, Jinju and northern Gyeonggi. The Xishu Army, on the other hand, controls the most prestigious Longyuan Horse Farm in the entire Great Hebei Empire. Therefore, this kind of wolf pack battle method, Yan Guo can play very well on the plains, and can form an almost slaughter-like advantage over the foot soldiers in the south.

The whole army obeyed the order, cleaned up the battlefield, and recovered our arrows as much as possible. An Mingqian saw that the deserters from Xingzhou had gradually ascended the mountain, so he ordered. After all, this little fish is not worth so much effort and thought for him and Cui Xiyeol. Although, the destruction of Anji's grain and grass created an opportunity for him to arouse the will of the soldiers to fight to the death, and also made the Xingzhou army, especially Xiao Yi, an old man, really dare to come to Zhalian Mountain with a large army and lure the fish out. But the shortage of food and equipment does make the current Yan army have to save some money, grain and accompanying sheep can drink goat's milk, mare can also drink mare's milk, and even kill a few sheep, but bows and arrows can not be made.

Lao Du, when I fought to the death with that thief, why didn't you send troops to the rescue? Do you know that our soldiers fought to the death for one day, and most of them suffered casualties. Tens of thousands of soldiers died. You think I'm dead, can those swallow thieves let you go?

Jiang Yi had just escaped from death, and he was naturally angry. I don't care about any etiquette, even if I open my mouth and scold.

Lao Jiang, I also sent troops to rescue, if it weren't for my thousands of war horses galloping on the mountainside to answer, would you be able to return safely? Besides, you yourself have to let the soldiers advance lightly, and the losses of the troops are so great that General Jiang still needs to reflect on himself and reform himself.

Du Bei's grade was not lower than Jiang Yi's, and he was naturally unceremonious in the face of his above and lower questions. At this moment, he was thinking about how long it would take for the reinforcements of Liang Wang Xiaoyi to arrive. This time he attacked and killed the Yan army, mainly sending him and Jiang Yilai. He could naturally see that this was Xiao Yi's counterbalance, and it was also the operation of letting the people of Xiao Shi's court send him to death first. However, it was beyond his expectations that the Yan army's counterattack could be so swift.

At this moment, whether he is advancing or retreating, it makes it difficult for Du Bei. Now there are still 30,000 or 40,000 elites in hand, and it is inevitable that they will retreat without fighting. But in the face of the sudden outbreak of the Yan army, he was not sure of winning. After all, he could see clearly from the mountain today, An Mingqian's command was tight, and he was very sophisticated. It really doesn't look like the level of a general in the first battle, and the cavalry combat power of the Yan army, in his previous battle memory, is definitely the elite of the Yan army. According to the mountain, he is not afraid. But he really didn't dare to attack the enemy.

Lao Jiang, at this moment, let's still think about how to explain to King Liang, right? If King Liang doesn't send reinforcements, we won't be able to defeat the Yan army on the other side.

After thinking about it, Du Bei still softened his tone. It was decided to discuss countermeasures with Jiang Yi, after all, the war had to continue.

I can only tell the truth, our officers and soldiers have suffered such heavy casualties. You can only retire and recuperate.

Returning with defeat, the elder brother is only afraid that he will be dismissed. If you and I wait together for King Liang's rescue, after victory. You and I have made meritorious contributions together, covering up your losses and losses, and my brother can still keep your position as a general.

Du Bei mercilessly clicked on Jiang Yi's current tragic situation, and thought to himself, old boy, the lost dog is still barking so wildly. If it weren't for the fact that you and I are both generals in the court. I don't bother to care about you.

That being the case, what do you say, Brother Du? Jiang Yi is also a veteran politician who has climbed up from a poor family after all, and after thinking about it carefully, he suppressed the anger in his heart. Asked rationally.

You and I jointly played a joint game to show the battle situation.

That's all there is to it.

However, the reinforcements they were hoping for, though only a mountain away, would never come.

What, my rear army was attacked. The grain road is cut off?

reported that enemy cavalry appeared on the left side of our army, and there were many of them.

reported that there were enemy cavalry on the right side of our army, and there were many of them, and Gao Ming, the general of the left army, was resisting to the death.

It was reported that many camps in the rear of our army were on fire.

report, there are swallow thieves and enemy horsemen everywhere, and they are all shouting, Yangjun is lost.

The bad news spread like a plague in Xiaoyi's camp, and although all the soldiers were still at their posts, their expressions were already full of panic and fear. The whole army was in a panic and looked depressed.

Looking at this situation, Xiao Yi, who had never experienced a large battle formation, couldn't help but lose his mind, and began to be unable to distinguish the truth and falsehood of these news and intelligence, of course, these news can actually be classified into one category - bad news. Still immersed in the frequent good news of the past few days, Xiao Yi, who had entered the rapid army, was already a little reluctant to face such a tragic situation at this time.

You say, how did the enemy army come out? How can we respond? Let's talk about it.

Finally, Xiao Yi forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart. I started thinking about countermeasures, but as a king. If you come up with a clever plan and return victorious, the credit is your own. If a foolish plan comes, the soldiers will be lost, the city will be lost, and the fault will naturally have to be borne from below. Xiao Yi would never take the initiative to say what to do, and he didn't know what to do now.

King Yuliang, the swallow thief is strong and strong, and he is also good at roundabout attacks. Our army is surrounded on all sides at the moment, it must be Zhongzhou, and the Yan army in Chongzhou was transferred by An Mingqian. Our army is now fighting day after day, and the soldiers are tired. It's better to return to Yang County to recuperate first, and then fight with the Yan thief.

Said one of the soldiers.

This is very true, Xiao Yi praised in his heart. However, to say this, it is obviously not in line with the demeanor of a king, and after they have to ask them again and again, I have to retreat to recuperate. The cavalry of the Yan army moved so quickly that they really underestimated them at first. In the future, we must never do this again. Xiao Yi thought so in his heart.

The Yan army is strong, retreat at this time, what should the former army officers do? If you want to retreat, you can retreat by yourself. If this king is greedy for life and afraid of death. There is no need to be the lord of this penal state.

Please ask Your Highness to withdraw your troops and repair them, and fight again in the coming day.

Your Highness, the king is not a momentary battle of will. The country and the society are important.

His Royal Highness King Liang, we will stay. Yang County is very important, if it is taken by the Yan army. Millions of people in my criminal state will inevitably be slaughtered by the Yan army.

All the civil and military officers have listed the disadvantages of not retreating, again and again. Although, the clan and the generals have their own tribal forces. But if you take the lead in retreating with your own lord, then it is equivalent to opening a head to your subordinates. In the future, they too can forsake the Lord and retreat. Therefore, Xiao Yi also saw this. Let this withdrawal become everyone's consensus, not their own one-man show.

You are right, the country is important. The people are the most important. Yangjun must be preserved, then, leave the suspicious soldiers here. In addition, inform Jiang Yi Du Bei...

Before Xiao Yi could finish speaking, someone suddenly interrupted

Your Highness shall not, not inform them. Once they also retreated, An Mingqian would definitely cover up with a large army in one fell swoop. We are willing to meet General Du and General Jiang here, Your Highness do not worry.

Jiang Yidu, who is also a member of the criminal state clan, and it is naturally better to send the outsider Jiang Yi Du Bei to death than to send him to death.

After Xiao Yi was "grieved" for a few minutes, he had to follow the will of the people and hurriedly retreat from Chaoyang County.
