Chapter 903: Pass our military order and withdraw——
After joining forces, Cheng Jin severely punished Hou Ji, but did not take his life. After all, Hou Ji, as a lieutenant general, was not qualified to take lives as a prefect and general.
But Cheng Jin never wanted to let go of Dou Bing's 3,000 cavalry, so he led An Guoshan, another general under his command, and led 20,000 cavalry in pursuit. As for Hou Ji, he was sent to guard An Guo.
Lieutenant General of the Mountain.
Pointing forward with his riding whip, An Guoshan chuckled and said: "The rebels are anxious. They haven't dismounted and rested for a whole day. They must be at the end of their battle. Let's chase for dozens of miles and this battle will be over." He is the main general.
Anguoshan was very proud of being able to defeat Zhu Biao's three thousand soldiers. The level of pride even exceeded the most proud battle in his life. Because Zhu Biao's elite troops were the best in the Tang army and were more powerful than those he used to fight.
The Tang army was much stronger.
"I wish the thieves come to the west this time and win consecutive battles. Today, General An can wipe out his three thousand elites with just a raise of his hands. It can be said to have wiped out all the bad luck for our army. I really admire you." Hou Ji smiled and complimented,
Now he is still guilty, and he is not the Zhonglang general who was on equal footing with Anguoshan before. "We chase all the way, and if we don't rush, we can destroy Zhu Biao's three thousand fine cavalry. This also shocks the power of my Bingzhou army.
It has greatly boosted the morale of our army." This sentence is not a complete compliment. It can only be said that Hou Jiji himself took the lead, and Anguoshan was extremely lucky. Qi Jun seemed to have put himself on the lips of the people of Anguoshan, and Anguoshan
As long as he closed his mouth, chewed up the fat meat and swallowed it into his stomach, the achievement of wiping out the three thousand elite rebels would immediately restore the morale of the Wuyuan County army.
"Two days ago, the rebel army chased us. Hou was really embarrassed. This time, it's our turn to chase them too. We have to chase them until they can't run anymore."
Thinking of the two days of embarrassment, Hou Ji secretly scolded Anguoshan for his bad luck. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel an unknown fire rising in his heart, and his desire for revenge was rising.
"Haha -" An Guoshan laughed proudly, and then said to Hou Ji kindly, "The general will be happy after this battle. I have served on the battlefield for many years, and I will definitely be forgiven by the general."
Having said that, An Guoshan ignored Hou Ji who looked bitter in the face. He called the messengers behind him and loudly ordered: "Send my general's order. The whole army must speed up and be sure to catch up with the rebels."
…
A flying horse came towards Dou Bing, "Commander, fifteen miles ahead is where our army will set up an ambush." Immediately, Di Feng shouted to Dou Bing in a loud voice.
Before, Dou Bing saw that he had overtaken the pursuit and ran into the returning Wuyuan army, and he already knew that the situation was not good. If there was no large group of troops to support him, the troops he led would not be able to catch up.
go.
Since they thought of this, Dou Bing had to make preparations. During the period of leading the troops to flee, they sent out the army's top soldiers. Each man was equipped with three war horses and reported the news to Guangmu City as quickly as possible. Then there appeared
This scene now...
Zhu Biao led 5,000 cavalrymen, and they had already arrived at the excellent ambush place ahead at 12:00 today. They had been recuperating for half a day, and their combat power had reached its peak.
Although there were 20,000 Wuyuan cavalry chasing after him, Zhu Biaoding was not afraid at all. He and Dou Bingbu added up to 8,000 fine cavalry. In a head-on battle, the same was true for defeating 20,000 Bingzhou cavalry.
It was as easy as flipping a hand, and it was almost as if he had used a trick to ambush him.
These Bingzhou cavalry are already the entire cavalry of the Wuyuan Army, and their combat power is not very outstanding, because all the elite Bingzhou cavalry are concentrated in the Bingzhou Langqi.
The enemy is relentless in their pursuit, and by now, the horse's physical strength is probably close to the bottom line. Under such circumstances, Zhu Biao is sure to win!
After the slightly tired 3,000 pro-army soldiers turned around the mountain, they saw groups of reinforcements arrayed neatly, and their own commander standing at the front. They were all happy and encouraged, if not for the moment they were suppressed by the cheers.
When they came down, the thunderous cheers could suppress the galloping horses' hooves. After conveying the military order prohibiting noise, the orderly soldiers waving the flags continued to wave the flags in their hands - the three thousand cavalry of Dou's military department withdrew.
Back line, rest. In the next battle, maybe they will have time to fight again.
Dou Bing came to Zhu Biao with a frustrated look on his face. He couldn't tell whether he had made a contribution or had failed. He had been playing for too long and wanted to reduce his own casualties, but he didn't notice that Cheng Jin had returned to the army.
Quickly, the failure to completely annihilate Hou Ji's troops was undoubtedly a mistake. He may have later brought in Anguoshan's 20,000 Bingzhou Cavalry, which was undoubtedly another great achievement. Alas! "Commander..." Dou Bing's voice was low, and his face was embarrassed.
A smile.
Zhu Biao didn't think it was anything, he patted him on the shoulder and smiled slightly. Dou Bing cannot be blamed for the development of the battle formation to this extent, and in terms of the overall situation, isn't the current situation better, "But there are still
Do you want to fight with all your strength?" Then, without waiting for Dou Bing's reply, he pointed at the three thousand-cavalry formations neatly formed below the mountains, "Go down and pick one!"
"General, take your orders!" A ferocious look appeared on Dou Bing's face, and he shouted with murderous intent. He was also very angry about the 'escape' along the way.
…
"Chase, chase me -" Looking at a small group of Qi army cavalry passing around the mountain in the distance, Hou Ji felt extremely happy. The distance between the two armies was getting closer and closer, and he shouted loudly to his soldiers.
road.
"Herodus——" The uneven cries of horses sounded at the first moment when Hou Ji led his army around the mountain. Behind the mountain, three thousand fine cavalry were arrayed in a tight formation, and the generals of Xingmao and Dou soldiers immediately rode in front of the formation.
"Kill -" Almost at the same moment, a deafening cry of death rang out from the mountainside. Two generals, Zhu Zhenguo and Zhu Pingchuan, one on the left and one on the right, took the lead and led the cavalry to charge down.
"Swish, swish..." The iron arrow flew away.
Xingmao's drum soldiers advanced.
The moment he saw the three thousand fine knights in front of him, Hou Ji's heart had already fallen into the endless abyss, and the biting coldness enveloped his whole body. Although he subconsciously reined in the horse and stopped, he could not do anything.
What? Nothing you do at this time will help.
The cavalry on both sides rushed down the mountainside. The short distance was covered in an instant. The soldiers under his command had no time to change their formations. Besides, were there any cavalry formations to defend against the cavalry attack?
As a cavalryman, even the most elite soldiers and horses in the world will only suffer when they are blocked and attacked.
And the most fatal thing is that these people under him have just been running hard for a period of time. Even if they are not tired, the war horses are also exhausted. They are panting and sweating, and what else can they use to resist?
The rebel army that came over like a fierce tiger or a lion?
What an ambush, the timing is just right, admirable.
Wry smile, at this moment Hou Ji didn't just smile wryly, he smiled helplessly and sadly.
In the blink of an eye, the outcome was reversed.
Five thousand Bingzhou cavalry stopped their horses. They looked at Zhu Biaojun who was killing them like a tide all over the mountains and plains. After a moment of confusion, they were filled with endless panic. Their eyes were filled with fear, helplessness and pain. This is
Because they knew very well that they could not withstand the enemy's attack at this moment.
"Pa--" A spear fell to the ground. The huge contrast made his master completely lose the belief in resisting. This soft sound was like a domino being touched, and many Bingzhou cavalrymen were psychologically shaken.
After being defeated, more people gave up the idea of resistance, turned their horses and ran towards the large army behind.
The shouts of killing still shook the sky.
Under the impact of five thousand elite cavalry, the Bingzhou cavalry following Hou Ji collapsed. They could not even escape. After passing the front army, Xing Mao and Dou Bing led the troops to attack Anguo not far behind.
The main force of Yamamoto.
Although Anguoshan has noticed something is wrong and has ordered the army to prepare for war, how can they, with almost all their horsepower, be the opponents of the five thousand elite cavalry who have been recharging their energy for a long time?
This is a one-sided massacre!
"General, let's fight through, brothers, fight hard..." A Wuyuan Military Academy member looked at the situation on the battlefield with his eyes split open. The veins on his forehead were exposed, and his eyes were bloodshot and blood-red.
"Old An, fighting to the death is of no avail. It's better to withdraw as soon as possible. Every one who can survive is one." Hou Ji fought desperately to see Anguoshan alive. His armor was already covered with blood. "We don't even have the capital to fight desperately now.
If the horse can no longer run, is this cavalry still a cavalry?"
An Guoshan didn't answer. He slowly raised his head and looked up at the sky.
There was not a single cloud in the blue sky, but the dazzling sunlight was still very strong. He immediately closed his eyes in excitement. His eyes suddenly became dark, but the various sounds surrounding his ears were still clearly transmitted to him.
mind.
"withdraw……"
The surrounding Wuyuan Military Academy officers who were glaring at Hou Ji were shocked and shouted at the same time: "General An..."
"As soon as we withdraw, we will be defeated like a mountain, and there will be no chance to look back." A captain roared with emotion, grabbing the reins of An Guoshan and making a last effort.
An Guoshan smiled bitterly and opened his eyes as hard as he could, "Do we have a chance now?" Twenty thousand cavalry, this is twenty thousand cavalry, how many can return alive in the end? How many troops are there in the entire Wuyuan County? Lost
With 20,000 cavalry, how could the Wuyuan Army resist Zhu Biao? Even if there was one ten thousandth chance, An Guoshan would not do this, but the current situation was such that there was not even one ten thousandth chance. He was heartbroken.
In despair, after this defeat, he could almost see the tragic end that Wuyuan County would face in the future.
Sinner, sinner of the country!
Hou Ji was right to say that before the rebel cavalry encircled them, retreat! Only one of them could get out alive. He suddenly and angrily shouted: "Withdraw..."
"While the rebels haven't encircled them yet, retreat, retreat..."
An unwilling captain shouted loudly: "General An..."
An Guoshan turned his head, looked at the face that was flushed with anger, and aimed a whip at the man's head.
