Chapter 391: The Lion Turns Back
Xiao Maha was already in a desperate situation, and the only chance to turn the tables was to take advantage of Wang Lin's negligence and win with a sneak attack, but halfway through, when he was about to make a move, Wang Lin suddenly reacted and laid strict precautions around the camp...... At this point, Xiao Maha's surprise attack strategy was officially declared bankrupt, and it was inevitable to withdraw overnight.
Wang Lin was reminded by his son, and finally reacted, on the one hand, he asked people to strengthen the defense of the camp, and on the other hand, he doubled down on the scouts, keeping an eye on the movements of the Chen army, but he was afraid overnight and did not dare to relax.
In the middle of the night, a scout outside the tent suddenly hurriedly reported: "Governor Yudu, something is wrong with the Chen army's camp, all the people and horses in the camp have left the camp gate and are running to the southwest!" ”
Wang Linteng, who was lying on the desk and pretending to sleep to recuperate, stood up, lifted the sword on the shelf and hurriedly opened the tent door, and saw that the Qi army camp was already noisy, and immediately raised his eyebrows, and shouted with full anger:
"Panic what? Those who frighten the army for no reason, run and cry are beheaded! ”
When marching and fighting, we are most afraid of this kind of phenomenon, and once the order begins to be chaotic, the morale of the whole army will begin to collapse. This is why the ancient soldiers attached so much importance to the "military order is like a mountain", if it cannot be done like an arm, then no matter how strong the individual combat ability of this army is, it will be in vain...... Although he is accustomed to bringing the elite Yecheng forbidden army, it is not a simple matter to pull up a combat-effective force in a short period of time.
After last night's lesson, Wang Lin reflected for a long time, and he decided to no longer face the soldiers with the gentle attitude of a fellow countryman, but to use a more iron-blooded posture to command his subordinates...... After a loud shout suppressed his subordinates, a group of armor soldiers gathered from both sides of the tent, broke into the crowd roughly, dragged out the people who had just made a noise like pigs and sheep, and immediately beheaded them!
When the camp was silent, Wang Lin pressed one hand on the hilt of the sword, slowly moved down the wooden steps, and looked at the scout and said:
"The news is true, do you see the truth?"
Facing the governor in front of him, who was completely unfamiliar with the temperament, the scout was alarmed, and hurriedly said: "I don't dare to cheat, our scouts approached the camp of the Chen army, and no one found out until we reached the entrance of the camp...... In addition, Chen Jun also blocked the passes of various small roads in the southwest direction with his building car, and we were not allowed to observe. ”
"How do you know they must be fleeing if you are not allowed to observe?"
"What can you see when you can't see your fingers?"
"The lowly ones have good ears, and they can be deduced from their movements, and the lowly ones dare to vouch for their heads!" In the face of the aggressive posture of the metropolitan governor, he gritted his teeth and went to the military order. Wang Lin glanced at him appreciatively, looked around, and saw that all the generals had happy faces on their faces, so he indifferently ordered: "Xiao Maha has abandoned the camp and ordered the cavalry to pursue, don't let him escape!" ”
"Obey!!"
A small half of the people dispersed in a hurry, and the scout was still standing in place, without Wang Lin speaking, he didn't dare to move.
"You did a good job, just now you didn't know how to measure, leaked the military plane in public, causing an uproar in the camp, I wanted to kill you, your performance saved your own life," Wang Lin took a deep breath, "Go down and get twenty military sticks yourself, and then roll to the command of General Wang Yi Wang to report, and say that by the order of the Governor of the capital, you will be promoted to the lord of the hussar camp, effective immediately!" ”
"Whoa!" The man was overjoyed, and then he went down to the board, and everyone looked complicated, and the governor switched freely with a mallet and a mallet.
Of course, everyone only dared to slander in secret...... Wang Lin probably didn't know what his subordinates were thinking, buried himself in thinking about some things, paced back and forth twice with a little anxiety, and finally couldn't help but speak:
"Send someone to take a look, where is the Pitdu? I'll give him five more days at most, and within five days, will reinforcements arrive? ”
"Governor, don't count the days on the road?"
"Count, how not count? If you run the horse to death, you have to send me a message! Wang Lin turned to look at everyone, gritted his teeth and said, "If you really want me to die in Huainan, he thinks he can get better there?" Your Majesty's Holy Judgment ordered him to listen to my account, I don't believe that this old thing dares to disobey the decree! ”
In the southwest of Jiashan, Xiao Maha was going through a difficult escape, almost at the moment when the back road was blocked, Xiao Maha immediately realized that the Qi people would definitely pursue him immediately, if he didn't take advantage of the fact that the enemy had not reacted now, I was afraid that he would soon be surrounded, and the military order was quickly sent down to everyone, and the troops immediately abandoned the camp and hurried towards the planned road.
The order was simple and to the point: "Run!" ”
In fact, despite Xiao Maha's efforts, he still underestimated Wang Lin's reaction speed, and when it was about to be midday, they walked out of the range of Jiashan for less than two miles, and immediately a sentry came to report that there were Qi cavalry in the rear.
Xiao Mahadang even had a sudden heart and stopped the horse. The Yecheng Forbidden Army is the army that Wang Lin uses to press the bottom of the box, and its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated, Wang Lin is willing to let them come out to pursue, which shows that Wang Lin is determined to destroy him!
At this time, Xiao Maha stopped and watched, and found that there were only dozens of horsemen left on his side, and all of them were wounded, and those foot soldiers had been scattered one after another in the process of escaping, and the cavalry of the Qi people was rushing and killing in the gentle hilly area...... Xiao Maha remembered the high spirits when he received the order to raise troops to the north more than half a month ago, and then remembered the tragedy of several fierce battles in Zhongli, and then to the desperate state at this time, he couldn't help but be sad and angry, his eyes were red, he turned his horse's head desperately, lifted his lance and pointed in the direction where the Qi army was killing and shouted: "Kill!" ”
This Qi army is equipped with bows and crossbows and long lances, obviously specially to hunt Xiao Maha, they saw that Xiao Maha's horsepower was exhausted, and hurried to pick up people's heads, but they didn't expect Xiao Maha to have the courage to turn around and rush over so quickly!
"Kill!"
The infantry of the Chen army, who was being pursued by the Qi army, saw their general rushing over, and immediately plucked up their blood and bravery, ignoring the heavy legs under their feet that were as heavy as lead, and turned around and went back to kill.
However, although their military discipline is strict, and their ability to fight alone is not bad, after all, they have been running all night, and they are already a tired division.
The Qi army came to pick up the heads, and most of them were cavalrymen, and they were not afraid of the Chen army at all, and when they saw that the Chen army still had the courage to provoke, they immediately formed a cavalry formation to defeat this elite of the Southern Dynasties in one go...... It can only be said that it is worthy of Wang Lin to press the troops at the bottom of the box, and the combat effectiveness of this Qi army is also extraordinary, they first set out on light horses, detoured to both sides, shot and harassed Chen Jun with bows and crossbows, and waited until the blood and courage of the Chen army were almost consumed, and then cooperated with the main force to kill together, and many simply abandoned their horses, dismounted and fought on foot, and began to fight in close combat.
Chen Jun fell into chaos all of a sudden!
Archers who did not have time to shoot arrows were pierced by spears; The shield soldier tried to raise his shield to cover his body, but found that his companions around him were scattered, and the advantage of the shield array was gone, and the insidious blade could easily cut the waist from the side; Only a small number of spearmen were still holding spears and spears, looking around blankly, not knowing where the next attack would come from.
Under this ferocious and short blow, in just two sticks of incense, this Chen army was beaten into a plate of scattered sand and broke out again. Although Xiao Maha was brave and fierce, he rushed to the front, but he couldn't recover the decline, he was covered in blood, and gradually lost his strength, and several subordinates hurriedly helped him get on the horse, which was a good horse they had just chopped to death and a horseman snatched:
"The general is leaving, we will delay for the general for a while, I just hope that the general can take care of me and the family when he goes back, I am grateful!"
Xiao Maha had tears in his eyes, choked up and couldn't speak...... For more than half a month, a full 6,000 people and horses were crushed by Wang Lin like tofu, this is all his fault, pity these brothers who were born and died with him!
"General, if you don't go quickly, everyone will die in vain! Walk! ”
Just when Xiao Maha was stunned, the soldier stabbed the horse's buttocks with a dagger, and the horse immediately ran wildly under the pain...... Wang Yan saw it in the chaos of the army, and raised his whip and shouted: "Don't run away Xiao Maha!" ”
A troop of cavalry immediately divided into pursuit, and galloped in procession, like a torrent over the wilderness.
As soon as they closed the distance, they all picked up their crossbows and aimed at Xiao Maha's back.
Although the horseback was bumpy, and the bow and arrow accuracy was very poor under the high-speed gallop, the leader was Hu Loufan of the Western Regions who was going to shoot Xiao Maha at the head of the city that day, and after a few misses, he pulled the bowstring again, aiming at the back of Xiao Maha's heart, Xiao Maha failed to dodge, he was hit by an arrow above the shoulder blade, and the strong bow broke through the thick armor and pierced into the skin, Xiao Maha snorted, and his body suddenly shook a little.
Lou Fan was overjoyed, and immediately pulled out another arrow from the quiver, and when he aimed again, he suddenly saw an arrow coming straight to the door!
Lou Fan was taken aback, and almost instinctively reacted and leaned back, so that he could dodge this arrow, but Rao reacted quickly and almost lost his life! The arrow grazed against his scalp, no, a plow!
The arrows of the arrow cluster cut through his skin, and immediately blood was dripping, and the Qi army hurriedly stopped his horse and looked forward, only to see a Chen general in front of him leading a group of men and horses to rush over.
Xiao Maha was already at the end of the crossbow, and he just ran away in one breath, and when he saw the reinforcements coming, he couldn't support it anymore, and he was planted from the horse, and the Chen general hurriedly rushed over, and a beautiful leaning over and scooped him up on the horse.
Who is this?
The Qi army was shocked, there was still this fierce general in the Chen army?
Without waiting for them to think deeply, Lou Fan saw that Xiao Maha was rescued by others, and there were many Chen troops behind him, so he didn't dare to fight, so he immediately withdrew, and the rest of the Qi army also turned around and wanted to leave...... But General Chen, who rescued Xiao Maha, was obviously not very happy, not only was he not happy, but he also personally went on the horse to pursue!
One person chases a group!
Someone in the Qi army was not angry, and turned the horse's head halfway to kill this person, but he was immediately killed on horseback! Seeing this, Lou Fan didn't dare to stay, and kept running forward for a moment, and the member behind him, General Chen, chased after him.
So Wang Yan, who was sweeping away the endgame, saw such a scene: more than a dozen Qi troops were running in front, and only one person was chasing behind, like a group of sheep being driven by wolves...... Wang Yan immediately had a feeling of extreme absurdity, and then he saw that Chen Jiang jumped up from his horse, danced a long lance like a dragon, fierce and brutal, and killed one horse after another on the horse!
He almost killed all of his horsemen!
Lou Fan was frightened to death, so he just ran forward with his head bored, but fortunately, General Chen saw that the Qi army in front of him was strong, and he didn't dare to pursue it anymore, so he stopped for a while and was about to leave.
Wang Yan felt that this person simply didn't take him seriously, and immediately shouted: "I am Wang Yan, the general of Daqi from the fourth grade, and I can report my name!" Then he said, "Ben will not kill the nameless ghost!" ”
That Chen Jiang didn't pay attention to him at first, just walked forward with a dull head, and when he heard the last sentence, he turned around and sneered:
"If you have the ability, if you want to know my name so much, I'll tell you, you remember, your grandfather and I are Zhou Luohu, and I will be the one who will behead your father and son in the future!"
At first, Wang Yan only felt that he was glanced back by a lion, and his heart palpitated inexplicably, and then he began to get angry, and he wanted to go out left and right to kill this person.
But for some reason, he never dared to make this decision, only clasped his hands and watched him swagger away......
