The most important thing against the enemy is to attack the heart. As long as the heart attack is successful, it is possible to defeat no matter how many enemies there are.
Although the hundreds of slightly injured brothers still wanted to follow Tang Ao, the king's order had been issued and they had to obey. So they all mounted their horses and saluted Tang Ao with a standard military salute, then turned around and ran away.
"Others will follow me to chase the Beidi King. We must not let him come back under any circumstances." Tang Ao was worried that once Yi Quxiao came to his senses and returned to the battlefield, he might be able to stop Beidi.
The defeat of the cavalry caused things to repeat themselves. So what he has to do now is to continue to chase and kill, putting heavy pressure on Yiquxiao, leaving him no time to think about other things and can only continue
Only by escaping can such a big thing be accomplished.
With the two hundred Han generals, the five black dragon and golden claw flags were still flying high, and then a group of people quickly chased Beidi Wang Yiquxiao in the direction of his escape.
Just as Tang Ao and his men had just left, the shouts of hundreds of lightly injured Han generals began to ring out everywhere.
"The King of Beidi was burned and seriously injured. He was already dying and ran away."
"The Beidi King's tent was broken through by the Jizhou Army. The Beidi King was set ablaze by fire. Now his life is hanging on the line and he runs away."
It was even said that King Beidi was dead, and his soldiers were protecting his body and running towards Shile City.
There were shouts everywhere. In the darkness, the others only heard the voices but could not see the person. They had no idea what the real situation was. But one thing they could see was that the king's tent behind them was indeed on fire.
A fire broke out, which seemed to confirm the authenticity of the matter.
Some people didn't believe it and sent people to ask the king for military orders, but where could they find them?
The king has disappeared, and I don’t know whether he is alive or dead.
When this true news reached the ears of tens of thousands of Beidi cavalry who were fighting against the heavy cavalry Tiger Regiment, this army finally collapsed.
In ancient times, soldiers would obey the orders of the generals, and the generals would obey the orders of the king or the emperor. In the final analysis, they fought for the king or the emperor. Now that the king is gone, why are they still fighting here?
For whom?
The spiritual support in my heart suddenly disappeared. At this moment, how could anyone still love fighting, and how could anyone risk their own life?
The Beidi Army was in chaos, and many people even fled in all directions when they saw that the situation was not good. Captain Zhou Jinwen seized this favorable opportunity and launched a counterattack with only 2,000 heavy cavalry, severely injuring the opponent.
More than 3,000 Beidi cavalrymen had no time to escape.
This was like a heavy hammer falling on the bodies of the Beidi cavalry, causing them to lose even the last bit of resistance. Facing such a brave and fierce Jizhou heavy cavalry, how could they dare to fight again?
Everyone can run away as fast as they can.
Just when he felt that everything was empty, a wounded soldier from the Han general came to Zhou Jinwen and said, "Captain Zhou, the king is chasing towards Shile City. There are only two hundred people around him. Go and help."
"Oh! Okay. Everyone listen to the order, throw away all the extra things on your body, and follow the leader to help the king."
Zhou Jinwen was also shocked when he learned that Tang Ao only had 200 people with him. It would be too dangerous for such a small force to encounter the main cavalry of the Beidi Army. He did not hesitate to do so.
After making the decision to rescue, the two thousand heavy cavalry immediately threw away their heavy armor, took off the armor on their horses, and transformed into two thousand light cavalry, and then rushed towards the official road leading to Shile City at full speed.
Before the Jizhou camp, the sound of killing continued.
The 10,000 archers were exhausted and had to retreat. However, people were busy with their bows, and they were quickly replaced. However, these new archers had limited abilities, and the arrows they shot were much less accurate.
When the archers could not suppress the Beidi cavalry, these cavalry attacked even more fiercely. Even under Shen Yunyi's order, many civilians and logistics personnel rushed up with weapons, but they could only hold on for a while longer. These people have not been systematically trained, and maybe fighting with the wind can be effective. But they are facing the elite Beidi cavalry. After many people rushed up, they just met each other and were divided and surrounded by high-speed cavalry. Killed on the battlefield.
In more than an hour, from the time Tang Ao left until now, the Jizhou infantry has paid a price of 40,000 casualties, and nearly 50,000 civilians have died on the battlefield.
The situation was getting worse and worse. Shen Yunyi's expression was full of urgency. He was pacing back and forth in the king's tent, weighing and considering whether to send more than 80,000 cavalry into the battlefield.
Although it is not the best time to send out these cavalry at this time, if the cavalry does not charge, the Beidi cavalry will rush into the king's tent. Once the king's tent is destroyed, the spiritual support of all the soldiers will be gone, and it is very likely that the army will Morale was completely lost. Even if the cavalry came out at that time, they would not be able to turn the tide.
"Brigadier, Commander of the Fourth Regiment of Huben Soldiers is calling for reinforcements. They are going to be unable to withstand it any longer." A communications soldier anxiously ran into the king's tent and said anxiously after seeing Shen Yunyi.
"How many more people do they have?" This news did not surprise Shen Yunyi. Ten thousand tiger soldiers were sent to the front of the king's tent, where the pressure was undoubtedly the greatest. If they hadn't withstood it there, I am afraid that the Beidi cavalry has already entered the king's tent.
"Thirty percent of the Tiger Soldiers were killed and 30% were injured. Only 40% of them are still able to fight. By the way, the commander of the Fourth Regiment was also injured, but it's not serious."
"So there are only four thousand tiger soldiers?" Hearing this result, Shen Yunyi's brows furrowed even more tightly. Once the tiger soldiers are defeated, there will be no obstacle in front of the Beidi cavalry. At that time, Wang The account is not guaranteed.
"Hey, even if that's the case, then..." Shen Yunyi couldn't bear the strong pressure. No matter what, nothing could happen to the king's tent. He could only send out more than 80,000 cavalry to defend the king's tent first. tent, and then wait until daybreak to withdraw the troops. Perhaps the losses will be smaller.
Just when Shen Yunyi finally made up his mind and was about to issue an order to the correspondent, another correspondent ran into the tent. As soon as he came to Shen Yunyi, he said with excitement and excitement on his face. He said, "Brigade Commander, the Beidi cavalry has retreated. Their rearmost cavalry has changed direction, and the cavalry fighting with us is also preparing to leave the battlefield."
"What? The troops have withdrawn!" This result shocked Shen Yunyi. The first thing he thought of was that Tang Ao succeeded.
Of course, this is just a conjecture. He will not make any decisions before getting the exact information. If this is the strategy of the Beidi cavalry, just to induce him to send the cavalry out, wouldn't it be a big deal? ?
"Quick, send someone to investigate the situation immediately." Shen Yunyi said quickly to the two communication personnel.
The two of them took the order and were about to turn around when a hurricane suddenly hit the king's tent, and then a huge bird flew into the king's tent and landed only three meters away from Shen Yunyi.
"It's a messenger bird. Let's see if there is any new information on it." Shen Yunyi said with a nervous look on his face.
The two correspondents hurriedly stepped forward and groped for a while at the bird's talons. Sure enough, they found a piece of paper, which they then handed to Shen Yunyi's hands behind them.
After taking the note, Shen Yunyi, who was a little excited, quickly unfolded it. It was written by Tang Ao himself. The main idea was that he had completed the task and destroyed the royal tent of the Beidi Army. Next, the Beidi cavalry should be in chaos. If this is the case. , it was time for the Jizhou Cavalry to counterattack across the board.
"Haha, okay, great." Shen Yunyi laughed after reading the note again, and when he looked at the two communication soldiers, he said quickly: "Quickly, go notify Brigadier Feng Xun, Tell him it's time to fight back."
"No!" The two correspondents who heard the news were also very excited. Have they finally waited for this moment? After the two agreed, they turned around and ran outside the king's tent.
Shen Yunyi was not idle either, and immediately sent someone to inform the other infantry generals to be prepared to cover up the Beidi cavalry and go to the battlefield to capture prisoners.
The situation of the central army of the Beidi Cavalry was not optimistic at this time.
Just now, Yi Qushe and Gongsun Wen saw that the Jizhou Army was already crumbling and seemed to be defeated at any time. They were still laughing and looking forward to the moment of victory. But in the blink of an eye, someone came with news. , saying that the king's tent was destroyed, and the life and death of the King of Beidi was unknown.
Not long ago, bad news came, saying that the Jizhou Army sent cavalry to launch a fierce attack on the king's tent. After learning the news, the Jizhou Army cavalry had not been seen until now. Yiqushehe Gongsun Wen thought that this should be the main cavalry force of the Jizhou Army.
Based on their thoughts, they would never have imagined that only 5,500 Jizhou cavalry would be dispatched, and Tang Ao would be the leader.
They didn't dare to take such a risky approach, and they were even more worried about Prince Ji Tang Ao, whose status and identity were far above them.
Considering that the main cavalry force of the Jizhou Army appeared, the two of them were not afraid, but on the contrary, they were very happy. After all, these Jizhou cavalry never showed up, and they were also murmuring and a little worried. But now that they actually appeared on the battlefield, they were not. There was nothing to be afraid of. Immediately, the two men sent 50,000 cavalry to return reinforcements.
In their opinion, there are 50,000 Beidi cavalry around the king's tent. Now if they send 50,000 back, it will be 100,000. The number of Jizhou cavalry is less than 100,000. This is another two-sided attack, and there is a high chance of victory. .
