Medorijin's expression changed, which meant that this Jin Kingdom cavalry of unknown origin was already consumed by him!
Facing such an elite cavalry, if he wanted to keep his army safe, he could only set up camp and garrison it.
Otherwise, even if a large army forms a formation and engages in a battle with this cavalry, the damage will probably be heavy, and the outcome will be difficult to determine.
If he insists on continuing to Jiading Prefecture, it will definitely give the cavalry a chance to hunt him down.
The cavalry is extremely fast and elusive! Outside the wilderness, an infantry on the march is almost as good as undefended.
They will become the targets of this cavalry and be slaughtered by others!
Where to go has become a difficult problem for Meadow Ruijin!
What made him even more uncomfortable was that it was not too far from Shima Town to Jiading Mansion, but precisely because of this, there was no city between the two places. Even if he wanted to find a stable place to stay temporarily, he could not.
Do it.
After thinking for a while, he decided to stop first.
At least, this can protect the army under his command from damage.
"Come here, send a message to the Commander-in-Chief, inform him of our situation here, and hope that the Commander-in-Chief can send troops!"
Medorijin summoned the soldiers and issued the order.
This cavalry can stop his army, but it is not difficult to just send a few messengers to Jiading Mansion.
After all, with only 10,000 cavalry, how could it be possible to block all roads leading to the south?
Now he can only hope that there will be an external source of power that can at least help him contain the Jin cavalry, so that he can return to Jiading Mansion smoothly...
Two days passed quickly. Shao Hongyuan's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses had enough food, grass, and food. They had been repairing for two days. Although they had not yet returned to their peak, they had at least restored 70 to 80% of their combat strength.
Therefore, in the early morning of the third day, Shao Hongyuan came to meet Wu Hai.
"General Wu Hai, all our soldiers are ready and ready to leave at any time!"
Shao Hongyuan said politely to Wu Hai, "I wonder where the Tibetan army is. Can the brothers in front stop them?"
He was almost wiped out by this Tibetan army. Now he finally had a chance to take revenge. How could Shao Hongyuan not be anxious?
"Don't worry, General Shao!"
Wu Hai smiled slightly, "The Tubo army camped eighty miles south of Shima Town. They must be afraid of fighting with our cavalry, so they did not dare to go south easily! Let's move forward now and we will catch up with them soon!"
"good!"
Shao Hongyuan clenched his fists fiercely. Now that the offense and defense had changed, it was time to vent his anger.
"General Shao, I wonder how many crossbows your army has made in the past few days?"
The bed crossbow is a powerful weapon, but it is difficult to transport. Therefore, Wu Hai took advantage of the two days of repair time to not only familiarize the two armies with the formations explained by Shen Tang and practice them, but also made many bed crossbows.
By then, fighting with Tibet will definitely give them a surprise.
"Our army is not very skilled, so we only produced two hundred and thirty!"
Wu Hai nodded slightly, "Our army has also made more than three hundred. Such five hundred bed crossbows are enough for the Tubo people to see.
The only pity is that the formation taught by the commander is too mysterious and complicated, and the soldier drill is not perfect enough.
Otherwise, with this formation alone, we are enough to kill this Tubo army here."
Speaking of ancient marching and fighting formations, they can be said to be ever-changing! For example, we are most familiar with the long snake formation, the two dragon water formation, etc. Because of the inheritance, we can master these formations, especially some complex formations. Almost all of the generals are famous generals.
However, these formations are not as mysterious as mentioned in the novel! However, this does not mean that these formations are completely useless.
First of all, because of the particularity of ancient wars, they were basically intensive formations.
These intensive formations can be formed by adding some changes and alternating virtual and real formations.
Because there was no better way to communicate in ancient times, especially when tens of thousands of armies were fighting, and the distance would almost stretch for several miles or even ten miles. As a general, it was impossible to cover everything.
Therefore, a fixed formation that has been drilled in advance can maximize the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and is easier to command.
The army is mostly commanded by semaphore, but due to the simplicity and simplicity of the semaphore, the changes in formations naturally become monotonous.
The formations that Shen Tang taught Wu Hai were two of the top ten formations inherited by later generations, the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation and the famous Ambush from Flying Daggers Formation!
Wu Hai's words made Shao Hongyuan slightly nod. Shao Hongyuan was a typical traditional general and naturally understood the formations.
However, the formations he knew were basically the One-Word Long Snake Formation or the Three Talents Formation, but he had never seen such a complex and mysterious formation.
"Although this is the case, it is enough to deal with these Tubo troops in front of us!"
Shao Hongyuan said firmly.
Afterwards, the two organized their own armies, and not long after, the two armies, totaling 28,000 troops, left Shima Town in a mighty manner and headed towards the direction where the Tibetan army was stationed.
In order to maintain their combat effectiveness, they marched equally unfavorably. They even only walked more than sixty miles on the first day. In the early morning of the second day, they set out again. At ten o'clock in the afternoon, they finally saw the Tibetan camp!
The place where the Song army was stationed last night was far away from the Tubo military camp, so the Tubo army did not notice the arrival of the Song army.
It was not until early this morning that the Tubo scouts discovered this mighty Song Dynasty army, numbering tens of thousands.
In the central army tent of Tubo, Mei Duo Ruijin's face was ashen! There was still no reply to the letter sent to Jiading Prefecture.
However, that iron cavalry has not yet gotten rid of, and now another Song army has come?
Part of this Song army was not unfamiliar to him. It was Shao Hongyuan who was besieged by them before. But where did the other more than 10,000 people come from?
Could it be that these Song soldiers were all divine soldiers descended from the earth?
Aren’t the state capitals around Jiading Prefecture under the control of the Tubo side?
Moreover, the local tribes were also their informants. Why did so many Song troops suddenly appear?
Dawa Tata's message only briefly informed them of the changes in the situation. However, let alone Medorijin, even Dawa Tata did not expect that the Song Army would move so fast. Moreover, the Song Army The number far exceeded their expectations.
As for the local tribes, first of all, because the Song army moved very quickly, most of them did not receive the news.
In addition, these tribes were originally just grassroots. If Tubo had the advantage, they would not mind adding insult to injury to the Song Dynasty. However, now that the Song Dynasty has the upper hand, they will not take the lead.
Therefore, a few small tribes occasionally noticed the Song army's movements, but they did not inform Tubo rashly...
