Chapter 461: Annoying Chaser
The first brigade actually really caught up with the Meng army, and was forced to retreat by the Meng army after chasing and killing a group of scouts.
When Deng Qian learned that his four brigades were besieged and had many bad luck, he was shocked and suspicious, and he was shocked that there should be a division of enemy troops in the hilly area in ambush, and he wondered which army was ambushing him.
He thought about it again and again, the military order given to him by Hong Jin was to know the exact number and exact location of the enemy army, and if he ran away without figuring out anything, he would not be able to explain to Hong Jin when he returned. In the end, the staff officer of the army gave him an idea, the main force withdrew from the barracks and waited ten miles away, leaving two squadrons to observe the details of the enemy's troops, and it was too late for the whole army to retreat after exploring clearly.
The staff officer's suggestion was in Deng Qiang's arms, and he had to find out who did it after losing 4,000 people, and he was very confident in the escape ability of his troops, and there was a buffer distance of ten miles enough for him to escape from Wanggui City. Deng Qian ordered the whole army to withdraw from the barracks, ran to the east and occupied a village ten miles away, where he waited for the scouts to inquire about the army.
After the scout in charge of guarding the barracks was killed and retreated by Ding Kui, he found Xue Chong who rushed to hear the news, so he didn't dare to stay and hurriedly ran to report to Deng Qiang. Deng Qian received the report that he was depressed and died, and the first team of the 201st Division had already seen it without inquiring, and this military situation was meaningless, so he sent hundreds of scouts to inquire in the direction of Wanggui City, and its main force still had no intention of evacuating.
Xue Chong led the troops to chase and soon encountered hundreds of scouts from the Meng army, and they didn't need to boost their morale, their subordinates pounced out like hungry tigers, staring at the small number of scouts and chasing and beating fiercely, this one person is not enough, and he can't catch any if he doesn't grab one.
The scouts of the Meng army should have been frightened by Ding Kui, and when they saw such a fierce cavalry, they quickly turned around and ran, and slipped back to the village where the main force was stationed as soon as possible. Deng Qian was furious when he heard the news, and it was this cavalry brigade that caused him to lead his troops away from the main force, and immediately sent troops out of the village to fight.
Xue Chong was unwilling to fight hard, so he led the team away from Meng Jun and kept a safe distance. He did not dare to storm the village, but surrounded a large circle outside, looking for weak points in the defense of the Meng army, and at the same time reconnoitering for any other enemy situation.
The 1st Brigade confronted the Meng Army for some time, and the 2,000 cavalry of the 20th Division on the ground arrived and joined forces with the 1st Brigade.
As soon as Deng Qian saw the banner of the 20th Division on the ground, he immediately ordered to withdraw to the right flank of the main force of the corps, and he could explain to Hong Jin the number of another division of the Shaodian Army, and continue to stay, in case the main force of the enemy army was killed, he would not be able to run.
The 6,000 men of the Meng 84th Division were together, and there were magicians in the air to protect them, Xue Chong and the others did not dare to attack directly, so they had to circle around the periphery and try to delay the enemy's escape.
Miao He and Xuanyuan Feng listened to the detailed report of the messenger sent back from the front, and at the same time glanced at Ding Kui, and then said very tacitly: "Catch up!" With the military prestige of the 21st Army by their side, they must not be cowardly when they find a fighter, Miao He and Xuanyuan Feng felt the invisible pressure of Ding Kui, and they had to fight this battle with their heads and teeth.
Ding Kui did not hesitate when he heard this, and hurriedly turned around and applied to Miao He: "My lord, my squadron has a fast foot, can you break away from the brigade and rush to the front as soon as possible to assist in the battle." ”
"Well, Captain Ding doesn't have to worry, there are nearly 3,000 cavalry in front, there is not much more than one squadron for you, and a lot less than one squadron for you, and you won't be able to influence the battle situation if you go, so let's follow the brigade." I ordered the 1st Squadron of the 1st Brigade of the 201st Division to serve as the joint command guard. In this case, Miao He will not let Ding Kui rush to the front, even if he doesn't know Ding Kui's identity, he knows that he is not allowed to take any risks under his hands.
"Hehe, General Miao is right, the biggest threat ahead is the magician, and Captain Ding can't solve it when he rushes over, so come with us. Xuanyuan felt that he should also take a stand.
It is rare for a squadron leader and two division commanders to explain military orders together, and Ding Kui can be regarded as another alternative first person in the army.
The main force of the 20th Division and the 19th Division quickly set off and marched to the east of the city, and a 19th Division's Kaita magician left the brigade and flew to the front line alone, to protect the safety of the cavalry forward. The highest level of the Meng Jun's magician is only more than the tower mage, and there is a tower mage who can balance the one-sided magic power in the past, and it is not a problem to hold out until the main force arrives.
The journey of more than ten miles was not far, and the rapid march took less than half an hour to reach the village where the main force of the Meng 84th Division had just been stationed, which was already a mess, and the Meng army discarded a large number of baggage that was inconvenient to move. Due to the pressure of the Shaodian Army's pursuers, the Meng army did not have time to set fire to the village when they fled, leaving the unknown village lucky to be preserved.
Bah, bah, oh, there was a sound not far to the east, you don't need to look, you can judge from experience that it is the sound of high-level magic colliding, and the magicians sent by the 19th Division have already fought with the enemy. He is also a veteran, and although the balance of power is an absolute disadvantage, he specializes in using the magic of delaying the march, that is, harassment and never confrontation head-on.
"Okay, listen to the sound at most six or seven miles away, hurry, the whole army will catch up with me as fast as possible!" Miao He was excited, he didn't let the main force of the Meng 84th Division run far during this time, and this battle was basically fought.
The whole army of the Meng 84th Division is equipped with horses, but it is difficult to maintain a consistent formation when running at high speed, and most of the people in the division are not cavalry, and they do not have such superb horse control and riding skills, so they can only move forward at a turtle speed under the threat of enemy cavalry.
Deng Qian was really angry, he was harassed by about 3,000 cavalry, and his own magicians were inconvenient to stay away from the troops, and one was accidentally sniped, and he couldn't shed tears when he cried. It didn't take long for the enemy army to come in and a lowly qi magician roamed around his troops, cooperating with the enemy cavalry to harass him infinitely, and never confronting him head-on.
"I can't go on like this, I ordered the whole army to speed up, regardless of the harassment of the enemy, run as fast as you can, and at most you can find the 83rd Division by running another twenty miles. Deng Qian became more and more nervous.
"My lord, in this way, our formation will be scattered, and it will be easily overwhelmed by the enemy cavalry. The staff officers of the accompanying army hurriedly dissuaded.
"The enemy mages are catching up, and their main force should be there soon, and we won't be able to run at that time. Let's mess up, there are a lot of us, and we won't be defeated if we rush into chaos, while the power of the magician still has the upper hand, we can still keep most of the troops by running now. "Deng Qian doesn't care so much, his years of career as a horse make him smell extremely dangerous.
Whew, whew, huh, a cloud of battlefield fog appeared in front of the Meng 84th Division, and the cavalry of the Shaodian Army also circled their front flank, and put on a posture ready to charge at any time.
The Meng Army's highest-ranking fire mage was furious, and suddenly flew forward, unleashing the "Fire Raven Flurry" at the Shaodian cavalry.
