At this time, Chen Zhishen on the other side breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Linqi finally arrived on the battlefield.
Li Xingchen transferred the Yulin cavalry to Chen Zhishen. Of course, Chen Zhishen would not let these precious cavalry line up to cross the Yishui River like the infantry brigade.
What is the Yulin Cavalry? It is the elite of the Han Dynasty, Li Xingchen's heart and soul, and the symbol of the Han army. If the Yulin Cavalry rushes to the front as a vanguard, it will inevitably be quickly consumed by a battle like a flesh-and-blood mill, and if the Yulin Cavalry
Lin cavalry mixed with the army to cross the river, so naturally there is no difference between them and mascots. What is the difference between these hundreds of elite cavalry and ordinary soldiers? Not to mention that they are good at more than just riding.
Although Chen Zhishen knew that His Majesty gave Yu Linqi to him because of his trust, Chen Zhishen could not bury Yu Linqi directly. He even had to be careful. If something happened to Yu Linqi, he might be impeached.
It will fly to Li Xingchen's desk like snowflakes.
Therefore, Chen Zhishen finally decided to send Yulinqi to the upper reaches of Yishui. At the same time, he had sent a team in advance to transport a small number of boats to go with Yulinqi, so that Yulinqi could cross Yishui from the upper reaches of Yishui.
Although there was a long detour in the middle, the marching process on the north bank of Yishui could be greatly shortened by using war horses, so it was still possible for the Yulin Cavalry to arrive at the battlefield in time.
Of course, Chen Zhishen was not mentally prepared that Yu Linqi might not be able to rush to the battlefield to support him, so he also gave Yu Linqi another order, which was to cut off as much as possible after victory or defeat in the battle.
The enemy's food road can even look for opportunities to launch an assault on the enemy, thus giving the enemy the illusion that the Han army has crossed the Yishui River from another place, making the enemy afraid to act rashly, and creating opportunities for the Han army's next attack.
Chen Zhishen knew very well that the most powerful thing about the Yulin Cavalry was their ability to fight alone. As long as they could be liberated from the constraints of the army, Cheng Feng would definitely not let anyone down.
And Yu Linqi did it.
At this time, Yu Lin's cavalry entered the battlefield, and the timing was just right.
The elite Han cavalry was like a sharp blade cutting into the Northern Zhou army.
How the sharp butcher's knife can cut through the skin and flesh quickly is how the Han cavalry can quickly cut through the Northern Zhou army.
In order to drive the Han army out of Yishui as soon as possible, Wang Qian's formation was actually not a formation at all. The Northern Zhou army pressed forward in an almost chaotic manner. After all, nothing can put more pressure on the enemy than an entire army attack.
And inspire your own people.
Moreover, all the Han army could control was a small river beach, and there was no need for the Northern Zhou army to set up a dense array and wait for the enemy to come.
Wang Qian asked the army to retreat voluntarily, not because he was as benevolent as Song Xianggong, but simply to avoid the enemy's artillery fire.
At this time, Wang Qian had to pay for such a layout. The advancing Han cavalry ran rampant, causing the Northern Zhou soldiers who were already in a melee to panic and found that they had no way of knowing whose orders they should obey. They were even surprised to find that
, there are Han troops, either Han infantry or Han cavalry, on all sides, and the red flag seems to have surrounded them.
They had no way of knowing how many enemies there were, let alone where they came from.
And now they don't even know what they should do.
Kill or run?
Otherwise, just run.
The appearance of the Han cavalry was like the straw that broke the camel's back.
What the infantry feared the most was the cavalry, and coupled with the rumbling artillery fire, it was simply a nightmare.
The cavalry, the cavalry straightened their horses, and the cavalry waved their swords. Wherever the flashing light touched, there was blood dripping, and even the head flew directly into the sky!
The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were panicked, so all they could do was to turn back immediately!
No one expected that a mere five hundred Yulin Cavalry would kill the Northern Zhou army, which had been desperately resisting just now, and was about to drive the Han army into the water.
I don't know whether the enemy is already vulnerable to a blow, or whether the Yulin Cavalry is really too powerful?
Li Xingchen smiled happily.
Wang Qian's stubborn resistance indeed caused a lot of trouble for the Han army. Looking at the corpses covering the river beach on the other side, you can tell that the price paid by the Han army was not heavy, but in any case, the Han army won.
No need for Li Xingchen's reminder, Chen Zhishen also issued an order for the entire army to attack.
The Han army on the other side took the lead and continued to advance outward, and more Han army soldiers arrived on the north bank one after another.
At the same time, the artillery can finally continue to shoot far away. However, judging from the current situation, unless the artillery is transported to the other side, they will soon be of little use, because the Han army's attack is getting deeper and deeper.
The attack was getting faster and faster, and the Northern Zhou people were also retreating. It could even be said that they were turning around and running away. It would not be long before the artillery could only hit their own people.
Chen Zhishen had already jumped on the boat and headed north.
Li Xingchen clapped his hands, not knowing whether it was because he felt there was dust on his hands, or simply because he wanted to express that the matter was over, and he also walked down the hillside.
In the distance, the sound of Zhou people's golden clanging replaced the sound of drums. Wang Qian was not so crazy that he would risk his life to attack even though the situation was irreversible. He was also busy gathering the defeated troops. At least this defeat could not be too great.
What a tragedy, otherwise it would be an impossible dream to hold on to Baigu City.
"Next is Baigu City." Li Xingchen said with a smile.
The big man is unstoppable!
At this time, Wang Qian was also commanding the personal guards and the war supervising team to gather the defeated troops. Fortunately, these Northern Zhou soldiers did not rush around like headless flies in panic. When they heard the sound of Ming Jin and saw that the general's flag was still there, they started to rush.
Move closer in that direction.
Wang Qian looked at the increasing number of Northern Zhou troops and the fear and panic on the faces of these soldiers, and sighed secretly in his heart.
Today is not a failure. Even if the Han cavalry did not rush in from the sloping ground and suddenly destroy the balance of the battlefield, it would be difficult for the Northern Zhou army to win.
This group of southern barbarians really charged and killed them, and with their powerful firearms, even their emperor was already on the battlefield in person. When these guys saw the emperor's flag, it was as if they had been given blood.
Facing those Han soldiers with red eyes who wanted to kill the enemy and perform meritorious deeds, even Wang Qian himself would find it difficult not to feel fear of them, let alone those ordinary Zhou soldiers.
Brother Yuchi, I tried my best.
I'm afraid we don't have much time left in this great week.
All that can be done now is to retreat step by step and hope for a miracle.
