Chapter 703 Prey and Hunter
After completing a round of horizontal cutting, the Jin army's rear was in chaos.
Panic began to spread, people dropped their flags, threw away their weapons, and scrambled to escape.
However, the formation in the middle and front is not messed up yet.
If it were the previous Song Army cavalry, they would have achieved almost the most beautiful results here.
But the current Song Army is different, especially the Shenwu Army.
After they penetrated the rear horizontally, they quickly detoured, drew an arc on the ground, detoured in a flowing manner, and launched a terrifying attack on the Jin army again.
This requires very high organizational skills of the cavalry.
The rear and two wings of the Jin army had collapsed, and the center was exposed to the iron heel.
Ah Lan roared angrily: "Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy!"
His voice was like a drop in the ocean.
At this time, the scouts ran frantically towards the Hejian City.
Wanyan Po Lu Huo's main army is several miles away. Once the Song army appears, he is ready to cut off the Song army's retreat.
Wanyan Po Lu Huo's strategy is definitely up to standard.
But his starting point is that A Lan can block the Song army's attack, at least it will not be defeated immediately.
This starting point is also reasonable for the Jin Army generals.
After all, the Jin army was stronger than the Song army, which was proven through countless frontal battlefields.
However, people always have limitations and it is easy to ignore that things develop.
Wanyanpo Lu Huo's scouts did not detect the whereabouts of the Song army. He thought that the Song army was far away and would not rush to the battlefield quickly.
After all, if a war horse wants to charge quickly, it usually has to be within two hundred meters.
Who eats too much and is so full that they run like crazy when they are on the road?
Therefore, the ancient cavalry's rapid march was only more than a hundred miles a day.
The Mongolian Iron Cavalry, known as the strongest cavalry regiment, only had to march about 180 miles a day during its long-distance raid on Russia.
Why?
Because a fucking warhorse is a carbon-based organism, not a fueled machine.
Unless you use this batch and don't plan to use it for a long time.
"Report!" When the scout came, even the war horses were exhausted, "Report! Tongtong! The Song...Song army is coming! The rear of our army was defeated by the Song army..."
"What!" Wanyan Po Lu Huo was shocked, "Why are you reporting now?"
"The Song army came too fast and penetrated the rear of our army as soon as it came!"
"A lazy idiot!" Wanyan Po Lu Huo yelled.
He immediately ordered the entire army to attack, with Guaizima as the vanguard, and quickly attacked the Song army.
The Jin army's cavalry was dispatched, about three thousand cavalry, galloping towards the front.
And what happened next was definitely beyond Wanyan Po Lu Huo's expectations, and it was also far beyond A Lan's expectations.
Next, the Song Army launched three attacks on the Jin Army's military formation.
The number of the Jin army was only 2,000. After several rounds of attacks, almost the entire army collapsed.
Even the most strongly defended front army was demoralized.
A Lan took two hundred cavalry and tried to escape. Not only was he quickly intercepted halfway, but he himself was also captured alive.
By the time Wanyan Po Lu Huo's cavalry arrived, A Lan's army was already in disarray.
The vanguard who attacked the city had already been defeated because the main force was defeated by the Song army.
Wanyan Po Lu Huo only saw the corpses of the Jin Army on the ground and heard the Song Army's cavalry shouting arrogantly not far away.
This scene immediately made Wanyan Po Luhuo's blood pressure soar.
Relying on the large number of people and strength, and also on the fact that the Song army was a little tired after the battle, he immediately ordered the entire army to rush and kill the Song army.
Yao Zheng didn't hesitate and ran away with the people.
From the end of May, Zhang Xian crossed the Yellow River and rampaged through Hejian Prefecture. Wanyan Polu Huo sent scouts and small cavalry to search for traces of the Song army.
But after searching for more than ten days, I received hundreds of different messages. Some said that the Song Army was here, and some said that the Song Army was there.
Now that the Song army had finally been lured out, and Ah Lan was defeated, how could Wanyan Po Lu Huo give up?
So, the two sides then started a chase on the endless plain.
Jin Jun: Don’t run! If you have the guts, don’t run!
Song Jun: Come on! Come and chase me! As long as you catch me! I will let you hey hey hey!
Of course, it is impossible for both sides to engage in a charge-style pursuit, which would be short-lasting. Only people who talk on paper would think that the cavalry is running wild when pursuing the cavalry.
About half an hour later, Zhang Xian received the latest information.
"Report to the capital!" the scout said excitedly, "Our army has successfully escaped after defeating the Jin army's siege forward in Shucheng County. Now the main force of the Jin army is chasing Yao Zhengbu!"
"Okay!" Zhang Xian was overjoyed.
Zhang Xian was actually not sure that the main force of the Jin army would definitely appear.
This is a probabilistic event, but almost everything in the world is a probabilistic event.
There is a possibility that the main force of the Jin army will appear. After all, Zhang Xian concentrated the battlefield in Shucheng County, and the Jin army sent the front troops to attack the city. The commander is smart and will definitely set up an ambush.
It seemed that Ah Lan had attracted the Song Army's cavalry, but in fact it was Liang Xing and others who had attracted the front troops of the Jin Army. Secondly, Yao Zheng had attracted the main force of the Jin Army when he defeated Ah Lan.
Many times, you think you are the hunter, but in fact you are just the prey.
The war is not over yet, it should be said that the real decisive battle has just begun.
Zhang Xian led 2,200 cavalry and began to advance in the direction of the Jin army.
All parties began to conduct mobile operations on the great plains of Hejian Prefecture.
This is a war that only cavalry is qualified to participate in.
However, the threshold for this kind of cavalry battle is not low, and it does not mean that whoever has the most cavalry is the best.
In ancient times, there were no walkie-talkies or positioning systems, so scouts were particularly important at this time.
Li Guang was difficult to seal back then because he actually got lost when he was fighting against the Huns.
Huo Qubing's cavalry usually looks like they are equipped with a global positioning system, which is also part of their hard power!
Looking at the vast plains, Zhang Xian was not in a hurry. Now that the elite cavalry of the Jin Army had been drawn out and separated from the cover of the infantry, the next step would be much less difficult.
I don’t know what caused the wind, but when it was getting dark, Yao Zheng suddenly changed his direction and headed towards Hejian City.
After learning that Yao Zheng had changed his direction, Wanyan Po Lu Huo had no choice but to change his direction.
In fact, in the afternoon, the Jin army tried several charges to pursue the Song army, but they all ended in failure, and the two sides fell into a tug of war.
After it was completely dark, both sides stopped their actions, but at the same time they also prevented the other party from making a surprise attack.
Only then did Zhang Xian learn that Yao Zheng had changed direction and headed west.
It was getting dark and he was forced to stop and rest.
But the scouts still didn't stop.
It should be said that the scouts from the three parties did not stop.
Early in the morning on June 13th, Yao Zhengbu got up and continued to advance westward, which also puzzled the Jin army.
At noon, the scouts came to report: "Report! Zhang Dutong and Yao Zhengbu are heading towards the Junzi Pavilion."
Chapter completed!
