Chapter 1283: The Pyu Kingdom Defeated
"The general is temporarily out of the edge."
"Yes, the general should hurry up."
General Mippen still wanted to turn the tide, but in this case he couldn't do it at all, although he still had seventy or eighty thousand troops under his command, but these people were not cavalry, and they were failing all day long, and if there was an order to go up to the army, it was estimated that no one would want to.
General Mipon disagreed with him and knew that if he left, the whole army might be defeated, but in the face of the tens of thousands of cavalry in front of him, it was of little use.
Just as he hesitated, the musketeers in the distance turned out to be shooting into the sky.
At first they didn't understand what was going on, but soon they understood that it was the musketeers who were helping, and although they couldn't rush in, the sound of the guns came like a hammer on the hearts of the soldiers of the country.
On the other hand, the soldiers in the Tang camp, when they heard the sound of muskets, these people were even more motivated, anyway, we don't have to be afraid of failure, if we are killed, there are musketeers behind us to guard it, unless these people have wings, otherwise they can't fly the line of defense of the musketeers.
There was a gap between the fighting wills on both sides, and now there is this assist, and then the motivation of the Tang soldiers is even more sufficient, and now a large number of cavalry have rushed into the military camp of the country of Bi, anyway, they will kill people when they see them, and there are some people with fire bottles on their bodies, and they threw them at the tent in the distance, and the entire military camp is even more chaotic.
At the beginning, some of the grassroots officers of the country were able to restrain their soldiers, and they were also able to resist everywhere, but when the fire bottle was used, many of the soldiers of the country were burned, and their miserable screams made many soldiers afraid of these people and wanted to save their lives, and by the time these grassroots officers reacted, many of them had already run away.
If the formation under them is complete, then these grassroots officers can still make some achievements, but now that half of the people under their hands have run, then they feel that they have failed halfway, so if some willpower is not strong enough, they will run around with the remaining half.
The most fatal thing is the 30,000 people who came from Zhenla, they have always been on the southeast side of the entire military camp, so they have not participated in the war, when they saw the Tang army coming, they were also the most complete, I thought they could go up for a while, who knew that these people retreated directly to the southeast in a formation.
And on the way to retreat, in order to be able to ensure their own advance, I don't know how many Pi troops were killed along the way, and there was even infighting between the two sides on the way to escape.
"The mission of the two of you is here, don't worry about the situation in the middle, each bring 2,000 cavalry to these two checkpoints to block them, and you can't let them go south."
Li Xiang marked two checkpoints on the map, which are also two checkpoints that can retreat in the south and southeast directions, as long as we can get stuck here, then the tens of thousands of troops on the scene will not be able to run out, although the losses on the battlefield are not small, but there are still a large number of living forces, if you want to fight easier in the future, you must not let these people in front of you run out.
Changsun Chong and Changsun Ze knelt down to receive the order, and then led their elite cavalry to set off quickly.
Their cavalry were all carrying chain crossbows, and along the way, people blocked and killed, and Buddha blocked and killed Buddha, approaching the two levels as fast as possible.
Originally, there were some armies that were resistant, but under the impact of the eldest grandson brothers, these people didn't understand what was going on, and they already had an extra arrow on their bodies.
The chain crossbow is like a repeating rifle at this time, and they can't raise their heads at all, not to mention that there are cavalry of various nationalities chasing and killing around, and the soldiers of the Bi Kingdom feel that it is very difficult to escape.
The Zhenla soldiers who fled at the front, after seeing Changsun Chong's troops, they also wanted to go over to stop them, they also knew how important the checkpoint in the southeast was, if they couldn't take it, then they would have to make a detour of more than 270 miles.
If the supplies are sufficient, then the more than 270 miles are not a thing, but how can you return to the camp and pull the food again in this defeated situation? Isn't it nonsense that all the people have nothing but rations on their bodies to make them detour in this situation?
More than 3,000 people stopped in front of Changsun Chong, but unfortunately it didn't even bubble up, Changsun Chong and his men opened their bows left and right, only beating these people and couldn't raise their heads, and when they came back to their senses, Changsun Chong and his men had already rushed over, leaving behind the corpses of seven or eight hundred Zhenla soldiers.
Is this the real strength of the Tang cavalry?
When they fought with the cavalry of other tribes just now, they thought that these cavalry were already very powerful, and now they know what the real cavalry looks like, they are like hedgehogs, no matter where they run, the people in front of them can't fight with them for a round, just a face, more than 800 of us died like this, if we stop and fight well, the whole barracks will be in vain.
In fact, Li Xiang has been looking for an opportunity in the past few days of fighting, many people think that Li Xiang is sitting on the high platform and there is nothing to do, in fact, Li Xiang's heart has always been assessing that we can't give orders casually, we must have a 100% chance of winning, after all, this is also 90,000 troops.
If you add the Zhenla army, this is 100,000, now these people are scattered on hundreds of square kilometers of plains, the edge is either a mountain peak, or a river, this can be said to be an excellent place, Li Xiang also immediately arranged for his people to form an encirclement, how many can be caught, in the future, these people enter the mountains and forests, maybe we have to clear 1~2 years.
Of course, after this battle, there are definitely not many main resistance forces in the country of Pi, although they still have some troops in the south, but those armies are garbage, and the garbage in them is not as good as these on the battlefield, plus the losses in the border areas, the resistance of the country is almost to the end.
As for Zhenla, their 30,000 people can't let them go back and take these 30,000 people, Li Xiang has to start negotiating with the Bi State, try to force them, and then attack Zhenla with a large army.
Attack on land and sea......
Let's see how capable Zhenla is.
