Liu Mingzhi accidentally caught a glimpse of the Jin Guoying Yangwei army retreating from the city wall, and also began to change direction and start running towards the fields outside the city. He immediately understood Wanyan Chizha's intention.
This guy is planning to put the main battlefield on himself and lure Zhang Kuang out of the city to support him.
Liu Mingzhi, who had no time to think carefully, pulled the reins of his horse to change direction, and quickly waved the flag in his hand.
"Set off signal flares, stop charging, and evacuate the entire army!"
Several flag-bearers quickly dispersed after hearing Liu Dashao's order and passed on Liu Mingzhi's order.
The Black Wolf Cavalry and the Tramp Soldiers, who were only a few hundred steps away from meeting each other at hand-to-hand combat, distanced themselves again directly because of Liu Mingzhi's order.
Following the flag-bearer's orders, the trapped warriors turned around and rushed towards the outside of the city, gradually pulling away from the encircling Jin army.
Ye Baotong in the east of the city saw the flares blooming in the sky. Although he didn't know what happened to the commander, he quickly ordered the withdrawal of troops and rushed away with the Fang Guards.
Yelv Mo looked regretfully at the Dalong soldiers and horses that had retreated without a fight, and then turned to look at Wanyan Chiezha on the side.
"Commander, the enemy does not dare to engage in direct combat, why don't we order two cavalry to pursue them?"
"The general agrees. Now that all our troops have retreated, it is a good time to pursue the victory. Perhaps we can force the Longwu Guards in Yingzhou City to fight head-on."
Wanyan Chizha chuckled, shook his head and scanned the generals around him: "Seize the opportunity to pursue the victory? What is the pursuit of the victory? Have we won?"
"Liu Mingzhi's sudden order to withdraw his troops was not because he was defeated, but because he chose to avoid its edge!"
"When the remaining 200,000 troops have not yet shown up, how do you know this is not Liu Mingzhi's deliberate plan to lure the enemy?"
"Secondly, we only have 100,000 cavalry. Do you think Liu Mingzhi wants to leave? Can we, 100,000 cavalry, encircle the great dragon cavalry who also have 100,000 cavalry?"
"Using infantry to pursue cavalry will lead to no results even if your legs are broken."
A group of Jin Kingdom generals listened to Wanyan Chiezha's words and nodded silently: "They have to admit that Wanyan Chiezha is right. Liu Mingzhi is not the defeated army now!"
Wanyan Chizha glanced at the setting sun, walked down from the commander's platform and walked towards the Chinese army's tent.
"Retract the troops and recuperate. There is a long way to go. There will be many opportunities for fighting in the future. If you can escape, the monk cannot escape from the temple. As long as Yingzhou City is still here, Liu Mingzhi will never leave."
"Let the generals of Black Wolf Cavalry and Iron Armored Cavalry prepare a battle report and send it to me, and then we can discuss how to attack the city."
"Got the order!"
Wanyan Chizha returned to the Chinese army's tent, took out a falcon from a cage on the side, picked up a pen and wrote a note and stuffed it into the bamboo tube on the falcon's ankle.
"Changzhong!"
"Dad...Commander, what are your orders?"
"Send a message to Your Majesty and ask her to investigate the whereabouts of the other two armies under Liu Mingzhi's command to see if they are ambushing around us or if they have gone to support other cities. If we don't find out where these two hundred thousand soldiers and horses are, I will
It feels like a lump in the throat!"
"Got the order!"
Wanyan Changzhong hugged the falcon and walked out of the tent. Wanyan's eyes were fixed on the sand table and he began to think deeply.
After a long time, Wanyan Chizha straightened up with doubts in his eyes.
"Someone is coming!"
"See the Marshal!"
"Send out another three hundred elite scouts to conduct a thorough inspection of every place within a fifty-mile radius of Yingzhou. No matter whether there are any traces of the enemy, they must report them in time."
"Got the order!"
At the location ten miles east of Ma Mingpo in the west of Yingzhou City, the trapped warriors and fang guards joined forces one after another.
With a gloomy look, Liu Mingzhi took the pen in the hand of the army's recorder, wrote on the rice paper for a while and handed it to Song Qing.
"Send this letter to the Protector of the Country, Zhang Kuang, immediately."
"Got the order!"
General Ye Baotong of the Fang Guard took off his helmet with blood mixed with dust on his head and walked towards Young Master Liu.
"Commander, the general has already launched a charge with the Jin Kingdom's armored cavalry and has gained the upper hand. Why do you want to withdraw your troops suddenly?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Ye Baotong's puzzled and regretful face and waved his fist fiercely.
"If we don't withdraw our troops, we will tell them to come outside Yingzhou City!"
Ye Baotong wanted to ask more, but a look from Cheng Kai stopped him from saying anything else. He scratched his dry hair in a daze and stood aside.
Looking at Liu Mingzhi's current expression, Ye Baotong also knew that the commander-in-chief must not be in a good mood right now.
Liu Mingzhi looked around at the slightly tired brothers and sighed quietly.
"Damn it, I have been in the army for nearly ten years. I have never experienced any kind of opponents, men, women, old or young, but I have never encountered an opponent as difficult as Wanyan Chizha."
"As soon as I gave the order, he could immediately guess the commander's purpose and come up with a countermeasure."
"I knew he was not an easy opponent during the military flag drills in the past. Today I finally opened my eyes. He is very difficult to deal with!"
Song Qing, who had returned from releasing the golden eagle, listened to Mr. Liu's grumbling voice and softly agreed.
"It's really difficult to deal with. His general formation is both offensive and defensive. He can take care of my left and right cavalry respectively. In addition, he can command the army to attack the city. He can also arrange the formation to be watertight."
"Especially because he tightly grasped the advantage in his hands and did not leave any chance for us to take the lead."
"If you attack him, attack him as well. The foot and cavalry will never separate together, leaving us with nothing to say."
"If we don't find a way to deal with it, we will always be in a passive situation!"
"If we want to break this embarrassing situation, we must disperse their forces. Otherwise, if this stalemate continues, even if we can't be Wanyan Zhizha's meal, we won't be able to rush to the aid of Jeju and Yunzhou!"
"Time is limited, we can't afford to delay!"
Liu Mingzhi gently rubbed his forehead. Song Qing's words seemed to have reached his heart. Wanyan Chiezha was an airtight old bastard, making it difficult for people to speak.
"Set up camp on the spot and send out scouts for continuous reconnaissance to prevent enemy cavalry from raiding."
"Call all the two generals to come to my commander's tent to discuss matters."
"Got the order!"
It was night, the moon and stars were sparse, the lights in Liu Mingzhi's simple tent were brightly lit, and there were constant discussions.
Han Peng dismounted his horse and muttered for a while, and his eyes lit up: "Commander, no matter how strong the defense is, the bastard will always stretch out his head to eat, and find a way to cut off their heads, forcing him to have a cavalry battle with us.
Confrontation between."
"Say what you think!"
"Didn't the commander-in-chief just say that? Once the ammunition for the serial gun is used up, the role of those chariots will be useless. In this case, I will think that I can just make a false move."
"How to feint?"
"Fill one of the tanks with thunderbolts, artillery shells, and heavy fire oil, and charge directly toward their infantry phalanx to give them a head start."
"Let their infantry not dare to gather in large numbers and cooperate with the cavalry to encircle us!"
"Even though he made the entire military formation as hard to chew as a bastard's shell, as long as his head showed up, there would be a sharp blade filled with gunpowder hanging above their heads, making them intimidated."
"As long as their infantry cannot cooperate with the cavalry to provide assistance, we can fight with their cavalry with confidence and boldness."
Liu Mingzhi paced thoughtfully, looking at the soldiers around him who were also lost in thought.
"What do you think?"
"Second, this is the best way so far."
"Since their combined infantry and cavalry troops are unwilling to separate, then separate them by force."
Liu Mingzhi nodded silently: "Then it's settled, Song Qing!"
"The end is here!"
"Send a message to Zhang Kuang, the Protector of the Country, asking him to dispatch some artillery support to bombard the enemy's infantry when he sees the signal flare tomorrow."
