Xu Xiao used all his strength to shout these words.
This was what Jin Feng taught him last night after he took him and a group of captains to get familiar with the military formation.
At that time, Xu Xiao didn't take it to heart at all, and some captains even thought that Jin Feng was overestimating his abilities.
In their opinion, being able to defeat the party's cavalry today is already the greatest victory. Do they still want to capture the cavalry?
What are you thinking about?
But Jin Feng did it.
Use the combination of horse trap and Macedonian phalanx to tell them that the cavalry is not invincible!
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
All the soldiers followed Xu Xiao and shouted at the same time.
The voice is neat and firm, full of murderous intent!
At this moment, the morale of the Tielin Army reached its peak!
The horses under the party cavalry seemed to sense the danger and kept retreating.
But the cavalry behind them are also being pressed in by the phalanx led by Zhong Wu. Where can they retreat to?
In recent years, party members have been going to the border of the Central Plains every year to rob, not only stealing food and money, but also robbing people.
In this era, prisoners had no human rights. The status of the Han people who were robbed to Dangxiang was inferior to that of cattle and horses. Very few of them could survive more than three years.
Therefore, the party cavalry knew very well that once they surrendered, what awaited them would be endless labor until death.
What's more, the Dangxiang people have been suppressing the Dakang army in the past few years. Although they suffered a defeat this time, they are still proud. How can they surrender to their defeated generals?
"Brothers, hold on, the commander will definitely send someone to rescue us!"
A party general roared: "When the time comes, let's kill all these Dakang people, and then go to the Central Plains to snatch away their grain and women!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
All party cavalry raised their scimitars and roared at the sky.
"Since you want to die, then I will make it happen for you!"
The battle between Dakang and Dangxiang has lasted for decades, and their mutual hatred has become irreconcilable.
Therefore, for Tielin's soldiers, they preferred to kill all these party members rather than persuade them to surrender.
The decision of the party members was exactly what they wanted.
Xu Xiao and Zhong Wu simultaneously ordered the phalanx to speed up the attack rhythm.
The phalanx continued to advance, and the party's cavalry was forced to retreat back.
At the Dangxiang camp, a fast horse galloped towards the Chinese army's tent.
The patrolling soldiers immediately drew their machetes and blocked the road.
But when he saw the red feathers on the heads of the soldiers on horseback, he immediately ducked to the side of the road.
This is the red feather messenger in the army. It transmits the most urgent military information. No one is allowed to block it, otherwise they will be shot to death.
In the big tent, there were a group of party generals sitting.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, Zhang Jikui, the commander-in-chief of Dangxiang's southern expedition, couldn't help but smile: "Haha, it seems the battle is over, faster than I expected."
"Commander, Qinghuai was slashed yesterday. Even if he doesn't die, he won't be able to direct the battle. Without Qinghuai's Tielin Army, they are just wild wolves without teeth. The commander can easily kick him to death."
"What the Tielin Army is best at is fighting. As soon as we fight, they will run into the mountains. They are more cunning than foxes. I'll see where they go this time!"
"If Qinghuai dares to leave Qingshui Valley and run away, Emperor Dakang will kill him without us taking action!"
"Congratulations, Commander, for defeating the Iron Forest Army!"
The party leaders stood up happily and flattered him.
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Jikui patted the table happily: "After clearing Qingshui Valley, we will head south to the Central Plains. You should go and prepare. How much you can grab depends on you."
"Haha, don't worry, Commander, I won't let you down."
"Let's go over now and hit the Central Plains. The wheat will be ripe."
"Haha, all the women in the Central Plains are made of water. This time I must grab a few more tender ones to keep warm in the winter."
"Ye Lilang, didn't you rob more than thirty people last year?"
"Hey, don't talk about it. The Central Plains woman can't help but freeze at all. She froze to death in one winter."
"It's fine if you don't let them live in a tent. You don't even give them a piece of clothing. It's weird if they don't freeze to death."
"Clothes are so expensive. It's better for them to wear them than to cover them with lambs. They'll freeze to death and then rob them this year."
"Ye Lilang, just grab a few women. What's the use of grabbing so many every year? Why not grab a few men and go back to help with the work."
…
A group of party generals were happily planning to go to the Central Plains to rob something.
Only Li Jikui's staff was a little worried: "Commander, our troops haven't arrived yet, are we going to move out?"
Some time ago, there was a conflict between Dangxiang and the big cannibals in the west. Many cavalry units went to the west to fight the big cannibals, but there were still a few cavalry units that did not arrive.
The main purpose of Dangxiang's southern expedition was to plunder, so he prepared many large carts to carry the loot.
The cart moved slowly, so under the escort of three thousand cavalry, it set off early and waited at the border.
The war in the west has ended, and the cavalry teams from the Western Expedition will arrive one after another in the next few days.
"The cavalry is fast. Just catch up with us when they come."
Li Jikui said casually.
The staff wanted to say something else, but when they heard the red feather messenger's horse stopped in front of the tent, they stopped talking and planned to take time out in the evening to persuade Li Jikui.
Hong Ling rushed into the tent in a hurry. Before he could speak, he heard Li Jikui ask:
"How many people from the Tielin Army escaped? Did they capture Qinghuai?"
"Report to the commander, there is an emergency on the front line. General Ye Lixiong's troops were all surrounded by the Tielin Army in Qingshui Valley, suffering heavy casualties!"
Hong Ling said anxiously.
"What did you say? Yeli Xiong was surrounded by the Tielin Army in Qingshui Valley? He was also seriously injured?"
Li Jikui and other party generals suspected that they had heard wrongly.
Only the old staff member was still awake. He grabbed the red feather and asked urgently: "Tell me, what happened?"
"Returning to your lord, Tielin Jun learned a formation from somewhere..."
The Red Ling messenger quickly recounted the battle he had seen from a high place: "When the villain came to report the news, General Ye Lixiong's 1,500 cavalrymen had already lost hundreds of people, and the rest were also beaten by iron.
Lin Jun is blocked in Qingshui Valley."
This time, Li Jikui and the Dangxiang generals really realized what had happened. None of them could laugh anymore, and their faces all became serious.
Currently they only have 3,000 cavalry, and this time they sent out half of them in order to take down the Tielin Army in one fell swoop.
Still the more elite half.
If something goes wrong with these thousand and five cavalrymen, the consequences will be very serious.
"What do wild bears eat, and what formations cannot be broken by the heavy-armored horses of the vanguard camp?"
Li Jikui slapped the table and roared.
"Come back to the Commander-in-Chief, the Tielin Army has dug many deep holes in the ground. A horse's legs will be broken if they step into them."
The Red Ling envoy cautiously replied: "The Tielin Army put up a disguise on the deep pit. The vanguard battalion was unprepared and suffered a heavy loss. The entire army was annihilated!"
"The entire vanguard battalion was wiped out?!"
This news was like a heavy hammer, hitting Li Jikui and the party generals hard.
