Chapter 82 A brilliant victory
…
"Running?"
Dong Ping and Mu Heng were both stunned!
After reacting for a moment, Dong Ping hurriedly asked, "Which direction did they run?"
The horse trampled: "Following Zhang Liangshan."
Dong Ping slapped his thigh and said, "It's bad. They must have wanted to meet with the rebels who attacked Zhang Liangshan and then fight us again. If they succeed, this battle will be even more difficult!"
Dong Ping turned over the horse, then waved the spear in his hand and said, "Follow me to chase!"
After saying that, Dong Ping rushed out with his own men!
Seeing that Dong Ping had already chased him, Dong Ping's men also followed, Mu Heng wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
There was no way, Mu Heng could only lead his troops to follow.
Running all the way, finally asking Song Jiang's army to catch up with the Jinwu army.
Mu Hengda went forward and said to Dong Ping: "No...no, we must rest... for a while, otherwise, this battle cannot be fought."
When Dong Ping saw that more than 5,000 people were running behind him, he thought: "In this case, even if he catches up with the official army, he can't fight. It's better to take a break and chase again."
Thinking of this, Dong Ping spoke, "Then let's stop..."
Before Dong Ping could finish his words, countless horses ran suddenly sounded in a small woods not far away!
From Dong Ping and Mu Heng to all, they were shocked. They thought to each other: "It's over! The enemy is ambushed!"
Mu Heng's reaction was quite fast. He immediately calmed himself down and shouted: "Let the array! Get ready to face the enemy! Hurry up..."
It was so difficult for them to make the soldiers who were almost running and vomiting blood and were already in chaos!
Some are smart, just run away!
Seeing this, Dong Ping took his personal soldiers to massacre those who dared to escape in the battle without saying a word!
Dozens of them were killed in a row, and the situation of supplying them was stabilized.
But at this moment, more than a thousand war horses carried five or six hundred knights, and emerged from the woods in a row, like a group of evil wolves preparing to hunt.
The Song Jiang's rebel army, who had just stabilized, immediately became in chaos again. It was useless to resign Dong Ping and Mu Heng to restrain him.
Dong Ping was really fierce. Seeing that he would not boost morale again, he would be unable to fight this battle. He raised his spear in his hand and said, "Children, let me kill you!"
After saying that, Dong Ping squeezed the horse's belly and the war horse under his crotch rushed out!
When Dong Ping's dozens of personal soldiers saw Dong Ping rushing out, they also roared and followed him!
Seeing this, Wang De waved his hand calmly and said, "Kill!"
After receiving Wang De's order, thousands of war horses accelerated at the same time.
Five hundred steps.
Three hundred steps.
One hundred steps.
Fifty steps.
Thirty steps.
Ten steps.
Five steps.
A close fight!
Dong Ping wanted to rely on his own bravery to first kill a general of the official army to boost his morale, and then rush into the official army as before and rush into the official army and kill him in a rampant manner, and then their army rushed up to defeat the official army in one fell swoop.
However, although Dong Ping's script was well written, he was shot by Yang Zaixing, who was rushed to the front of the Jinwu Army, and took off his horse with one shot. In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, Cai still temporarily incorporated his personal guard into the personal guard camp.
Next, it was a nightmare for this poor peasant army who could not run or fight.
Wang De took the advantage of the light cavalry to the extreme, divide, slaughter, divide again, and slaughter again, and so on...
When Cai still led the two thousand infantry troops who lured the enemy into the deep, the outcome was decided. All they could do was help Wang De and his horse army capture prisoners, chase those who still had some strength to escape, and clean up the battlefield.
Some people may think that it was too easy to win the Jinwu army in this battle? If the Song Jiang rebel army had not led the impulsive Dong Ping, would the Song Jiang rebel army not have suffered this defeat?
wrong.
In fact, since the moment the horse camp of the Song Jiang Rebel Army led by Qin Ming was annihilated, the outcome of this battle has been decided.
Cai still ordered the Jinwu army to retreat to Zhang Liangshan, but in fact he wanted to try whether the Song Jiang Yijun would catch up.
At that time, the two armies were about ten miles apart. If Song Jiang's rebel army caught up, it would have to take a lot of effort.
On the other hand, look at the Jinwu Army side. First of all, the soldiers of the Jinwu Army can walk more than ten miles less. Secondly, the soldiers of the Jinwu Army are good at running around, not afraid of walking, and not afraid of endurance. Therefore, as long as the Song Jiang rebel army chases, the Jinwu Army will have the advantage. The faster the Song Jiang rebel army chases, the more urgent the pursuit, the greater the advantage of the Jinwu Army and the greater the final result.
Some people may argue: What if Song Jiang’s rebel army doesn’t pursue it?
That doesn't matter. Cai could still send Wang De to take the guard camp to bite the Song Jiang rebel army, lead the infantry to slowly chase the Song Jiang rebel army, and then destroy the Song Jiang rebel army bit by bit. Even if the Song Jiang rebel army cannot be eliminated in the end, the least it will be ineffective. This Song Jiang rebel army will not have the opportunity to rescue the Song Jiang rebel army on Dusu Mountain. Cai could still achieve his strategic goals, achieve great contributions, and then be promoted.
In short, after ambushing the horse camp of the Song Jiang rebel army, Cai still decided to take the Song Jiang rebel army.
This is the main reason why Cai still chose to destroy the horse camp of the Song Jiang rebel army first.
Of course, because Dong Ping and Mu Heng chose to lead their troops to catch up, this battle developed in the direction that was most beneficial to the Jinwu Army.
As a result, the Jinwu Army had only less than fifty casualties, and wiped out more than five thousand Song Jiang's rebels. The specific result was that less than two thousand were killed, nearly three thousand were captured, and only six or seven hundred people ran away. The leader of the Songjiang rebels did not block Mu Heng was captured alive by Yue Fei.
There is no doubt that this is a brilliant victory.
but--
Cai still did not let the Jinwu Army, who had already fought two battles, rest.
Cai Jian ordered Wang Sheng to lead the rear camp to stay and guard the prisoners and clean the battlefield. He also sent people to inform Zhang Xu and Jiang Xingzu to bring civilians to help find the people who ran away from Song Jiang's army.
After explaining Wang Sheng, Cai still led the remaining troops to run towards Zhang Liangshan.
As the sky was about to brighten, Wang De took the lead in leading the personal guards to Zhang Liangshan to meet with Zhang Xian and the former camp who had been feinted for a night.
At this time, Yan Qing and Song Jiang Yijun on Zhang Liangshan realized that they had missed the best opportunity to escape.
After the personal guard camp, the Zuoying, the Right guards, the Central guards, and Cai Shen's personal guards also arrived one after another. The Song Jiang's rebel army on Zhangliang Mountain could not fly.
At this point, the task assigned by the recruitment department to the Jinwu Army has basically been completed.
As for the pastors that have not been captured, it doesn't matter anymore - it's just a icing on the cake, and it can't be captured, and it won't be ignorant of the overall strategic purpose of the official army.
Cai still called Yue Fei and asked Yue Fei to take a personal guard to recruit the officials and report the victory.
This is also one of the traditions of the Jinwu Army - sending people who have made great contributions to repay the victory.
Yue Fei captured Mu Heng alive in this battle and made great contributions. In addition, Wang De and Yang Zaixing, who also made great contributions, had a mission. In addition, Cai was still interested in cultivating Yue Fei, so he sent Yue Fei to recruit the Si Baojie to win the victory.
After Yue Fei and his party left Zhang Liangshan, they rode their horses and headed straight to the avenue.
On the way, Yue Fei and his party met two groups of people - one was the Jinwu Army's rear camp that was cleaning the battlefield, and the other was the civilians who were hurried to the location of the Jinwu Army.
Not only the former, but also the latter, who have simply received instructor training sent by the Jinwu Army, are in order.
This made Yue Fei very pleasing - the army in his mind should be like this.
However--
Yue Fei's good mood did not last long. To be precise, it only lasted until the foot of Dusu Mountain and disappeared.
When he arrived at the foot of Duisu Mountain, Yue Fei looked around and saw only one word - chaos!
It's messy, messy, disorderly, and even messy!
Yue Fei frowned: "Is this a military camp?"
Yue Fei wanted to find a doorman to ask.
But after searching carefully for a long time, Yue Fei couldn't find someone who looked like a doorman.
Helplessly, Yue Fei could only find someone casually, then saluted and said, "Hello, veteran, where is the guard? I have something important to him to convey."
When the man saw Yue Fei's appearance, he said, "You are from the Jinwu Army, are you?"
Yue Fei said: "That's right, I wonder how the veterans saw it?"
The man said, "Only the people of your Jinwu Army have so many bad rules. You have to salute before speaking. Are you upset?"
When Yue Fei heard the words, he held the knife on his waist and said coldly: "You can insult me. If you insult me, Jinwu Army, I will definitely make you blood splatter on the spot!"
The man swallowed his saliva after hearing the words and thought to himself: "Damn, the people in the Jinwu Army are indeed all naughty. If you disagree, you have to draw your sword. You have to stay away from such people, otherwise their stupidity might be transmitted to me."
Thinking of this, the man snorted and walked away.
Yue Fei came to report the victory, not to fight. Seeing that the man dared not slander the Jinwu army anymore, he gave up and then asked the other people about the guards.
After asking several people in a row, Yue Fei found out clearly. It turned out that there was no guard here at all. If you want to find someone, just go in and look for it yourself.
Yue Fei thought to himself: "Aren't they afraid of getting in and doing it carefully?"
At this time, Yue Fei suddenly saw someone coming.
What kind of people feel is completely different from these messy people, but it is somewhat similar to the style of the Jinwu Army.
And the man who was the leader was extremely burly, with a figure that was somewhat similar to Yang Zaixing. He was not old, so he should be just like Yue Fei.
Yue Fei had enough of those **s, so he stepped forward to stop Nash's unique people, saluted them first, and said, "Hello, veteran, why did I meet Huang Zhaofu or Liang Jianjun? I have something important to report."
The extremely burly young man looked at Yue Fei up and down and said, "From the Jinwu Army?"
Yue Fei said proudly: "That's right."
The extremely burly young man suddenly became very enthusiastic. He said, "Hello, hello, I am Yang Yizhong, the chief of the second and third Shish in the front camp of the Imperial Guard of Xinde Prefecture. I admire your general very much. He is a general who truly understands military affairs. By the way, brothers are going to recruit the officials. I have nothing to do now, so why don't I take you there."
Chapter completed!
