After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 472 Hasty Withdrawal
The crossbowmen behind consumed more than half of their arrows in a short period of time, which slowed down the Lu army's offensive momentum.At this time, the spearman's advantage over the cavalry is revealed, and the shield soldiers provide them with perfect protection. In this case, they only need to continue to assassinate. If they are exhausted immediately, they will be replenished immediately.After all, it was the first time for the cavalry of the Lu army to encounter this kind of tactic. It was obvious that they were at a loss when dealing with it. This situation on the battlefield was fatal, but the large shield soldiers in front of them were like a wall, and they couldn't get through it at all. .And the light shield soldiers on the two wings are very flexible, they are very proficient in the battlefield and combined attack techniques, as if they came from instinct, they began to divide into small groups, occupying an area with each other, and then echoed each other.As soon as they came up, their morale was taken away, and they couldn't attack in front of them, and there were crowds of soldiers coming from behind. Under such circumstances, the cavalry completely lost their mobility and became infantry on horseback.But under this joint strangulation, they were powerless to resist at all. In less than half an hour, nearly one-third of the cavalry fell on the battlefield. He is also frowning.He now has two choices, one is to withdraw, the other is to attack, but seeing that the two sides have been cut off, if he withdraws, it will definitely end in defeat, but the attack is obvious and cannot break through the defense of the shield soldiers.And now Lu's cavalry has been coerced back and forth on the battlefield. If they can't respond smoothly, then Lu will suffer a lot this time. After all, this cavalry has been trained at a high price.So he immediately ordered the soldiers behind to attack the left and right wings, and give way to the road in the middle, so that the cavalry could retreat smoothly. There was nothing wrong with this arrangement.After all, under normal understanding, the infantry would definitely not be able to catch up with the cavalry, but he ignored one point. Now that the morale of the Lu army had dropped to the extreme, after receiving this order, he thought he was going to withdraw.So when they fought, they fought and retreated. Finally, a road was opened for the cavalry, but after seeing this scene, Wu Qi in the rear immediately knew that his chance had come.There are still 5000 elite cavalry around him who have not used them. These are the generation with high martial arts skills. They are all wearing cloth armor and have long and short weapons in their hands. These are on the battlefield and are specially used to kill the enemy.Seeing that the time was almost up, Wu Qi no longer hesitated, and directly ordered the cavalry to attack. He took the lead and charged forward, and the shield soldiers in front moved forward, leaving a gap immediately.Wu Qi led the cavalry, chased the Lu cavalry and killed them. These people received the order to retreat, and now that they saw another new force joining in, they naturally didn't want to continue the fight and retreated quickly.So under the leadership of the cavalry, the infantry on both wings began to expand their results. In fact, the Lu army still had considerable combat power at this time, but they were all concentrated on the left and right wings.However, the Han army is well-equipped, and the weapons in their hands are obviously superior. It often takes three or four soldiers to exchange for one Han army soldier. Here, the Han army is fighting more and more bravely, while the Lu soldiers are more and more powerful. Hit more empty.But at this time, Chufu Gonglian wanted to preserve the strength of the cavalry, so he made such a choice, mainly because of lack of combat experience. If he were replaced by any general in the future, he would definitely not use the cavalry to charge in the first place. .But now it's too late to regret it, the army has the heart to retreat, and naturally they can't do their best when they start a battle. Under the change of one another, a big defeat happened immediately. At this time, Chufu Gonglian wanted to retreat to the camp Regroup and fight again.But at this moment, a military marquis came in a hurry, and said with a look of panic on his face. "General Qi, the general situation is not good. Our camp was raided by the Han army, and now they have entered the camp." After hearing the news, Chufu Gonglian immediately reacted. The Han army on the other side of the river didn't escape, but crossed the Suishui River quickly by some unknown method, and then came to seize their own camp.Seeing that the defeat was decided, he immediately withdrew his troops decisively and ordered the Han army to seize the opportunity and cover up and kill them all the way from behind. It was not until midnight that Wu Qi ordered the troops to withdraw.There were nearly 2 captives, all of them were killed, and there was no one left. After a little inventory, more than [-] horses were seized, as well as various weapons and food. The weapon directly ordered the horses to take away all the weapons, and selected a part of the army food to be transported away. .The remaining ones that could not be taken away were all burned, but after a short period of repairs, Wu Qi selected [-] people and decided to take this opportunity to directly take down Zheng Guo's army. The full set of ceremonies of the army.The rest of the more than [-] Han troops continued to maintain a chasing posture, driving away the Lu army so that they had no time to repair, and at the same time rushed towards Xiao County. If the sneak attack succeeded, it would be able to directly cut off the strength of Zheng Guo's army. back road.Ziyao and Ziban, who were attacking Xiao County at this time, were shocked when they got the news. They didn't expect that the Lu army led by Chufu Gonglian would be defeated so quickly with several times the strength, so Ziyao immediately opened his mouth Said. "We can't stay here any longer at a time like this. The fighting power of the Han army is too strong. Once they come and attack Xiao County back and forth, maybe we will lose." "So in this The best way at this time is to avoid the front for the time being, and after reuniting with Lu's army, let's see how their casualties are, and there are tens of thousands of Han troops in Pengcheng, if they are so brave." "I'm afraid we won't be able to It is difficult to resist, so it is better to take a long-term plan, and we have to respond to the Lu army in time, otherwise, we may not be able to resist the attack of the Han army in the future." Zi Ban nodded approvingly, and his heart was also irritated Incomparably, it was hard for him to understand how such a good battle ended up like this, and more importantly, there was a trace of fear in his heart. "It's really hard to figure out, how did the Han army do this? If I knew it was like this, we Zheng Guo would not participate anyway. Now it's really hard to get off, but judging from the current situation, we can only withdraw the army. gone."
