When the attack was going well, I didn't feel anything. The Jizhou Army's infantry resisted layer by layer, and the progress would not be too fast. Even if the horse's legs were weak, it didn't matter. But when they were escaping, the speed of the war horse was fully displayed.
.
When the speed of the war horses was too slow and the Jizhou Army cavalry behind them was getting closer and closer to them, some Beidi cavalry riding inferior horses had to make a choice.
Should we turn around and fight with the Jizhou cavalry? Or should we simply dismount and surrender?
Under the general trend, more people chose the latter. The few who chose the former were also under the overwhelming impact of the Jizhou Army cavalry, and their bodies were found in different places without causing any splash.
When the situation on the battlefield was completely one-sided, the Beidi Army began to surrender in large numbers. Even Gongsun Wen was not much better. When Niu Le left with the five thousand cavalry who protected him and never returned, he
All protection is lost.
When the Jizhou Army came after them, several cavalrymen tied up Gongsun Wen and presented him to the Jizhou Army cavalry.
Gongsun Wen, who was tied up, never thought that he would end up like this. At this time, he hated Yi Quxiao. Why did the king's tent get burned when he was fine?
He also hated himself for sending Niu Le out. If he had been protected by the five thousand cavalry, he would not have been captured by the Jizhou army.
Compared with Gongsun Wen, Yiqushe's situation was much better. At least he escaped, and there were a group of Yiqushe's cavalry around him to protect him, so that he would not be kidnapped by his own family.
But that's all. He didn't have any ability to fight back. He just ran away involuntarily with the army.
Even Yiqushe was unable to protect himself and could not issue any effective orders. On the battlefield, there was not a single Beidi cavalry left to block the pursuit of the Jizhou Army cavalry. At this moment, the Beidi cavalry was gone.
Under the protection of a group of soldiers, Yi Quxiao, the king of Beidi, fled towards Shile City with Lao Chengsituo of the Cheng clan.
Yiquxiao also turned around and saw the scene where the king's tent was set on fire. He felt ashamed in his heart. After running for about half an hour, when there was no movement behind him and became very quiet, his heart also
Slowly I calmed down, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong.
Even if all the cavalry of the Jizhou Army were dispatched, the number of troops would not be very large. With the 50,000 troops around him, he could still hold off for a while. Then when Brother She got the news, he could use the technique of attacking from both sides.
A great victory is expected.
There is absolutely no need to escape.
As a general on the battlefield, if he escapes and is spread, what bad impact will it have? If he doesn't do it right, the army will be uneasy and it is possible that it will be defeated by the Jizhou Army.
Also, if the Jizhou Army really made a profit, why didn't they follow them? Don't they have an advantage in terms of military strength?
Yi Quxiao, who couldn't figure it out, was increasingly suspicious that something had gone wrong. What he heard might not be true, right? "Here comes someone, order the army to stop."
Yiquxiao suddenly spoke, and asked the army to stop. The cavalrymen who didn't know why stopped their horses, and then Chengsituo came over with a puzzled look on his face, "Your Majesty, why do you want the army to stop?
Once the Jizhou Army cavalry behind us catch up, something serious will happen."
"Jizhou Cavalry? Are you chasing us? Have you heard the news that the Jizhou Army is chasing us?"
Yi Quxiao was filled with dissatisfaction. It was Cheng Situo who persuaded him to escape in the king's tent. Now that he thought about it, it was clear that this person was afraid of death, so he just dragged him along.
"It doesn't mean there won't be there in a while. Your Majesty knows that we are very fast and we are one step ahead. It will not be easy for the Jizhou Army's cavalry to catch up with us." Cheng Situo also explained.
, and all this fell into Yi Quxiao's ears, no matter how it sounded, it sounded like a cover-up.
"Humph, there's no need to go..." Yi Quxiao wanted to say that there was no need to explain. In fact, the Jizhou Army was not chasing after him at all. But before the words were fully spoken, a cry of urgency came from not far away.
, a cavalry soldier shouting as he approached Yiquxiao. Before anyone arrived, the voice came over first, "The king is not good, there are Jizhou Army cavalry behind us chasing us."
I was just about to say that there were no Jizhou Army pursuers, but I didn't expect that they would come now. Yiquxiao's face turned red at that moment.
Fortunately, Chengsituo didn't know what his king wanted to say just now. When he heard the cavalry of the Jizhou Army coming, he asked the messenger, "I always ask you, how many Jizhous have come?"
Army, how strong is it?"
"As for the Hui elders, it was too dark to see clearly, but they are very strong. We have a cavalry team of 500 people responsible for breaking up the rear. They were overwhelmed after just one encounter. No one escaped to report the news. The little one
It's because we were a little further away that we managed to escape with our lives." As he said these words, the messenger still looked frightened.
When these words reached the ears of Yiquxiao and Chengsituo, their hearts began to beat rapidly. The latter quickly looked at Yiquxiao and said, "Your Majesty, the Jizhou cavalry is chasing us. Let's retreat quickly.
"
"Okay, retreat, retreat immediately, and leave a thousand cavalry to block the opponent. No matter what, we must hold on for a while longer to buy enough time for our retreat." After a while, Yiquxiao became honest and realized the reality.
I slapped him so hard that he never thought about it again.
Yiquxiao ran away, running faster than a rabbit. But seven or eight miles behind them, Tang Ao was taking two hundred Han generals to dismount and rest.
Just now they defeated 500 people with 200 people. Everyone used all their strength in order to eliminate the opponent in the shortest time, so as to give people the feeling that the pursuers are very powerful.
In order to achieve this goal, many Han generals adopted the strategy of exchanging injuries for injuries in order to prevent an enemy from escaping. Otherwise, once Yi Quxiao knew that they only had 200 people, I am afraid that
He will come back to fight soon, and if that happens, the outcome will change.
After gathering all their strength to kill the five hundred cavalry, Tang Ao and the others felt a little overwhelmed. In total, they had been killing for more than two hours in a row. Now it was about to dawn, and no one could
Knowing what will happen next, it is time to take this opportunity to take a good rest.
"Husband, King Beidi probably won't look back." Xue Fei took a water bag and came to Tang Ao, who was resting on the roadside.
The title "husband" was changed by Tang Ao after many corrections. Speaking of which, Xuefei was Tang Ao's first woman. If she didn't change the title, what would it be like?
He reached out and took the water bag and took a big gulp, then exhaled happily and said, "No way. If they still had doubts before, the death of these five hundred Beidi cavalry will make them give up all their thoughts.
,hehe."
"That's good, then do we win this battle?" Xue Fei also looked happy after hearing this.
"Well, we basically won. As long as uncle and Feng Xun can seize the time to attack." Tang Ao nodded. The battlefield is ever-changing and accidents may happen at any time. No one can guarantee anything.
Able to do what you should do well.
"Uncle and Brigadier Feng Xun will have no problem. They are all veterans and should know what to do." After hearing this, Xuefei nodded and said. This could be regarded as her comforting Tang Ao.
"Yes, they are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time. They will definitely seize the opportunity." Tang Ao nodded. When he just said this, there were waves of horse hooves on the ground not far away.
The sound caused the nearby Han generals to stand up quickly.
This is not the first time for everyone to go to the battlefield, and it is not the first time to hear the sound of horse hoofprints. Just from the sound alone, you can tell that this is at least a cavalry team of more than 2,000 people.
Thinking that there were only two hundred people here, and many of them were still injured. If they encountered two thousand enemy cavalry, it would be difficult to win. Everyone involuntarily looked at Tang Ao, who was the one in their hearts.
Backbone.
"The wounded will be moved to the dense forest aside, leaving fifty uninjured ones to guard here with me."
Tang Ao was about to face two thousand cavalry, and he wanted to stay in person to create more transfer time for his Han generals.
"Your Majesty, you can't do that."
"The king will leave first. Our duty is to protect the king's safety. There is no reason for us to leave first."
"X is already injured. Even if he goes back, he won't be able to continue to serve as a guard. So let X stay. You all leave quickly. As long as X is still breathing, we will block these cavalry and prevent them from chasing everyone."
For the first time, all the Han generals disobeyed military orders. Tang Ao was moved by all this, but he still decided to stay on his own. He has twin veins and the fighting power of a grandmaster, and his physical strength is stronger than anyone else.
, he also believed that no one could leave him behind.
On the contrary, these Han generals have improved a lot in strength after going through this. As long as they can survive and recuperate, they will definitely be the best warriors in the future, and they should not die here.
"Okay, if you still recognize me as your great king, you will obey your orders." Tang Ao had a serious face, as if he would be very angry if anyone disobeyed orders.
When Tang Ao became angry, the other Han generals did not dare to say anything, but they turned their heads one after another and began to compete for the places left by the fifty people. Naturally, some time was wasted during this quarrel.
Hearing the sound of the war horse treading the ground, it was getting closer and closer. There was not much time left. Tang Ao was about to force the order and personally roll out the names of fifty people. Not far away, the deputy commander in charge of the security guard Zuo
Zhuang rode over and said, "Your Majesty, these are our cavalry."
