Chapter 159: It's Chasing, It's Doing!
The scene of the collective surrender of thousands of people is spectacular.
They lined up in a long queue and left the camp, and after handing in their equipment at the appointed place, they were led to the other side, and sat on the ground, anxiously awaiting the judgment of fate.
Will it die?
If the officers and soldiers want to kill prisoners, do they shoot them with arrows indiscriminately, or dig pits and bury them alive?
Everyone couldn't help but think about these things, scared themselves, and then trembled uncontrollably.
"That's what you can do to go to war?" Jin Zheng walked over, glanced at it first, then picked up the horsewhip, and scolded the prisoner who was kneeling on the ground.
The people he beat screamed in pain, but they didn't dare to raise their voices.
"I can't even use a bow, what kind of battle?" Jin Zheng let him go, turned to beat the other person, and said, "Do you want to come out and die?" ”
The captive cried twice, and after realizing that he had been beaten harder, wisely closed his mouth.
Jin San twitched twice more before throwing the whip to his subordinates and looking at the advancing queue in the distance.
"Let's go, I'll leave it to Li Zhong here, it's not very interesting." He rolled over and got on the horse, grabbed the belly of the horse with his legs, and hurried out.
At the southern foot of Fangcheng Mountain, the brigade has begun to march without the slightest delay.
Wang Qi'er, the deputy governor of the Silver Spear Army, led 1,200 soldiers, carrying five days of food and water, and went first, acting as a vanguard.
Jin San accompanied Shao Xun and led the remnants of the Silver Lance Army and 7,000 auxiliaries, totaling more than 10,000 people, followed closely behind.
This battle is a quick word, and does not give the enemy any chance.
After the brigade left, Li Zhong ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up and the prisoners screened.
In this battle, the casualties were still relatively large.
It was mainly Xiangcheng Ding Zhuang, who was forced by the strong bow and crossbow behind him, and was forced to attack three formations, with more than 1,300 casualties before and after.
The casualties of the auxiliaries were even fewer, less than a thousand.
In the end, the Yamen army made a final decision, with two or three hundred minor casualties, broke the will of the enemy army in one fell swoop, and won a complete victory.
The village was broken in half a day, which can be described as neat, and Li Chong was much more optimistic about the next battle.
Perhaps, they really have time to return to the north and fight on two fronts.
……
On the dilapidated post road, the defeated soldiers are piled up one after another, and there is no end.
Pang Shi frowned and looked carefully.
The enemy is chasing after them so fiercely, and it is very dangerous to not give them a chance to contain and rectify at all. The longer the rout lasts, the less likely it is to bring the rout away.
In the end, the people who are separated - and they really disperse.
Pang Shi did not participate in the daytime battle, and neither did the two thousand or so men under his command.
As soon as they escorted the grain and grass over, they heard the news that the camp had been breached and the whole army was defeated.
The Nanyang servants who escorted the car broke up on the spot and ran away in a puff of smoke.
Pang Shi met Hou Tuo and was entrusted with an important task by him: after the break.
Pang Shi knew very well that this was not a good job. But Hou Tuo had saved his life, and he hadn't asked him for anything before, but it was hard to refuse.
More than 2,000 soldiers were demoralized and panicked, so they stubbornly raised the grain carts horizontally to block the road, trying to block the pursuers.
Pang Shi led more than 100 troops to the north, trying to contain more of the defeated troops and organize them as part of the broken army.
But just after containing a few hundred people, it had to be terminated, because the advance of the enemy army appeared in the distance.
There were only fifty or sixty of them, and when they saw Pang Shi and the others, they did not panic, but sped up and rushed over with small steps.
Near, some of the people ran to the small dirt slopes on both sides of the post road, then put down their spears, took the well-wound walking bow from their waists, and drew the bow and arrows.
About a dozen people untied the small round shield on their arms, holding the shield in their left hand and the knife in their right hand, lined up in front.
Twenty men at last, armed with spears, in groups of five, each at a few paces apart, followed behind the sword and shield men.
The two sides quickly exchanged hands.
But as soon as they fought, Pang Shi felt that something was wrong, especially when an arrow flew over his head with a "doo" and landed on the trunk of a tree.
Pang Shi subconsciously looked at the feather arrow above his head.
The arrows penetrated into the wood very deeply, and the arrow feathers trembled endlessly.
"Whoosh!" Another arrow struck, hitting one of the soldiers next to him in the throat.
Pang Shi involuntarily dodged.
On the way to charge more than 100 parts of his own family, more than ten people have fallen down one after another.
The arrows fired from the high ground on both sides were fast and urgent, and the arrows bit the flesh, and the accuracy was frighteningly high.
And on the battlefield of frontal fighting, the opponent is in a group of five people, the sword and shield hand walks forward quickly, blocking the opposite knife and gun with a round shield, and the people behind him are one left and one right, and the spear stabs out like lightning, killing two people in an instant.
There was also a tall and strong man, wielding a long-handled axe in both hands, relying on the iron armor on his body, jumped into the crowd and swept it away.
The last foot archer fell behind, and he continued to draw his bow and arrows, harvesting human lives with cunning and vicious archery.
There were only more than fifty people, but in the face-to-face battle, they showed amazing skills and cooperation.
In all fairness, it is not difficult to kill one of them alone, even if their marksmanship, knife skills, and archery skills are quite remarkable, but when three or five people get together and perform group tactics, the difficulty of killing is greatly increased.
One-on-one, their advantage is not so big.
But three against three, five against five, the advantage is too big to see.
More than 100 people were beaten and retreated by fifty or sixty people on the opposite side, and their bodies were lost all the way.
"Withdraw!" Pang Shi's scalp was numb, and seeing the smoke and dust behind him, it seemed that more enemy troops were chasing and killing, he didn't dare to fight anymore, and shouted towards the battlefield, and ran backwards.
The battlefield was so noisy that not everyone could hear him.
Some are still fighting, others have fled and are in disarray.
The opposing archers began to move forward to close the distance, trying to shoot arrows in a more effortless way. But halfway through them, this side had all collapsed, and no one dared to stand and fight.
The silver-speared sergeant was dressed in iron armor, and he actually walked like a fly, roaring and chasing after him, and the bowstring sounded continuously, continuing to harvest human lives.
It was not until he saw that the post road was blocked by a large number of cars and horses that he stopped and sent someone to report to the rear.
When they had done this, they did not stand still, but scattered to the sides, placing spears, axes, and swords and shields at their feet, and each of them took out his bow and shot arrows in the direction where the enemy had gathered.
The enemy also mobilized some archers, while spear-wielding infantry was sent in an attempt to disperse them into the distance.
These people's arrows are so annoying, they are not fired indiscriminately at all, but are aimed at the roll call, and the threat is too great.
And the smoke and dust in the north are getting closer and closer.
Leading the team was Wang Qi'er, who first looked at the enemy formation, and then immediately made a decision and ordered some vehicles to be transferred over.
The sergeants did not hesitate at all, and after much coordination, they drew more than a dozen trolleys from the auxiliary soldiers in the rear.
The cart was full of firewood, and someone began to pour oil on it.
Hundreds of silver-speared sergeants guarded the cart around the trolley, first pressing the opposite side with a volley of can't raise their heads.
The auxiliaries pushing the cart had hideous faces and rushed forward with a roar.
Someone was holding a torch and setting the vehicles on fire one by one.
The "Chariot of Fire" hurled forward and directly collided with the enemy's baggage convoy blocking the road.
Under the strong north wind, thick smoke billowed and the fire grew larger, and there was a commotion in the enemy formation behind the break.
"Knock knock knock ......" drum sounds.
"Kill!" The silver-speared sergeants roared in unison, and rushed forward with their spears in hand.
The enemy army after the break was already demoralized, and they couldn't beat it normally, not to mention being embarrassed by the smoke and fire, and they turned around and ran away.
Pang Shi ordered the arrows to be released, and directly shot dozens of oncoming routs.
But there were so many people fleeing that they couldn't stop. Judging the situation, he could only sigh gloomily and run away.
After breaking, after breaking a bird, it can't stop even a moment!
The Silver Spear Army pursued all the way like this, not giving the other party a chance to breathe at all.
On the 11th, the two sides fought in the northeast of Duyang, and once again the broken Pang Shi was defeated and retreated.
On the twelfth, the Silver Spear Army crossed the Yang Blockade and did not enter, and bit the back of Hou De's army.
On the night of the thirteenth, he fought in the ancient city of Bowang, broke the enemy army again, and beheaded more than 400 levels.
Bowang is a place name that often appears, Cao Hong attacked Jingzhou, fought in Wuyang, Yexian, Duyang, Bowang, and Tunye.
Liu Beitun Xinye, marched into Bowang, went to Ye County, set up an ambush and defeated Xiahou and returned.
On the evening of the 14th, he fought in Guarizin, beheaded more than 300 people below the general colonel of the enemy army, and captured Pang Shi.
Guarijin is located in the northeast of Nanyang and is one of the famous ferry ports.
Han Guangwu personally conquered Deng Feng in Nanyang from Duyang, and fought in Guarijin and Xiaochang'an, which was the most glorious time in Guarijin.
Wang Qi'er and Hou Tuo chased and fled, and by this time, both sides were a little exhausted.
Hou Tuo was followed by more than 1,000 people, all of whom looked panicked and unkempt.
And Wang Que'er's team also distanced itself from the baggage team, and the dry food on his body was only enough for one day.
However, everyone's spirit is good, and the morale is even higher.
It's not the first time that the enemy has been pursued like this.
At the beginning of the conquest of Wang Mi in Hebei, they pursued in the snow, not giving the enemy general a chance to re-contain the defeated soldiers, nor did they give the enemy a chance to stop and rectify.
Ahead, Nanyang City (Wan County) is already in sight.
