Chapter two hundred and sixty-ninth victory in the first battle
The cavalry of Pang Wanchun's army was trained, but the horses were unmoved.
But Zhao Ling's cavalry had never heard of such a sound. Although the distance was quite far, a few horses were still scared and ran around randomly.
With the sound of muskets, the enemy troops charging more than a hundred meters away fell to the ground as if they were harvested by a sickle.
Zhao Ling was shocked: "Is this a magic trick?"
The third-stage shooting has matured. After the first batch was fired, Deng Fei waved the flag, the second batch, and the third batch. After three rounds of shooting, the enemy collapsed and turned around and ran away. The unknown fear is very powerful and scary.
An Shirong was shocked: "What kind of magic is this? Collect the soldiers and the cavalry cover the infantry and retreat."
"yes."
As a Pixiu general, An Shirong was able to gain a foothold in Tian Hu's army because of his strength. Seeing that the situation was wrong, he immediately asked the cavalry to step forward to cover the infantry.
The general shouted loudly to the soldiers and allowed the defeated soldiers to form a formation in the shortest time.
Chao Gai waved the flag: "Pang Wanchun's cavalry and firing soldiers attacked."
Three hundred cavalry archers. These three hundred cavalry archers were carefully trained by Pang Wanchun. They are good at riding horses and archery. Their combat methods are mainly bows and arrows, and they will rush up in seldom.
The short grassland horses could no longer hold back and rushed forward quickly. The soldiers screamed one by one, bent their bows and arrows, and the feathered arrows whizzed forward, chasing the enemy's tails, constantly shooting the enemy soldiers to the ground.
When An Shirong saw that this was enough, he ordered the cavalry to meet the enemy.
When Pang Wanchun saw the enemy cavalry coming, he made a quick decision and ran backwards. The enemy followed him and was constantly attacked by the return horse arrows.
Zhao Ling was shocked. He was cowardly and did not dare to rush forward or fight head-on, but the effect was very obvious. Many Anshirong cavalry were dropped, and people were constantly being shot. The kung archery skills were definitely hard work, and the cavalry in the Northwest Army may not have the ability.
Chao Gai turned his head and looked at Zhao Ling: "Deputy General Zhao, it's your turn to come. Remember to beat him away, don't chase him hard."
"yes."
Zhao Ling was somewhat dissatisfied, but Chao Gai was in command, so he had to obey the orders. Two thousand cavalry rushed forward with a roar. At this time, An Shirong's cavalry team had already begun to retreat, and the infantry gathered into a formation.
Seeing that Zhao Ling's cavalry came, they kept firing arrows. The Western Army led by Zhao Ling shrank its neck and pressed against the horse's back, with little casualties. Soon they rushed to the infantry camp, easily tore through the formation, and rushed in a mess.
An Shirong issued an order to retreat, the infantry ran quickly, and the cavalry slowly covered.
Zhao Ling led his troops to rush and chased for five or six miles.
Someone reminded: "Are we chasing us too hard? It's time to go back."
Zhao Ling said: "Fighter jets should not be missed."
Later, Gongsun Sheng touched his beard and smiled at Chao Gai, "Brother, this Deputy General Zhao is going to suffer a great loss. Let's go up and help him."
"He must be helping, but if he doesn't teach him a lesson, he won't be obedient. The whole army will advance and maintain the formation."
It is more difficult to maintain the formation, after all, it is an infantry formation of more than 700 people.
Let’s talk about Zhao Ling, more than two thousand soldiers like wolves and tigers, slashed and attacked An Shirong’s army fled in panic.
Just when they were proud, countless people suddenly came out of the reeds in front of them, holding spears and scratching hooks. These were all farmers who could not survive and were full of hostility towards the officers and soldiers.
If there are many infantry in a spacious area, it is difficult to restrain the cavalry, but the terrain here is narrow and surrounded by green gauze tents.
Only then did Zhao Ling realize that he was deceived and immediately ordered: "Retreat."
But it was too late and entered the ambush circle.
However, these cavalrymen are not rookies, they are all veterans of war. They are not in a hurry at all, cover each other and retreat.
Although there were many enemy soldiers lying in ambush, they all had poor combat effectiveness, which was not enough to block the cavalry. Moreover, at this time, Pang Wanchun's cavalry and archers arrived first, and they shot at the enemy soldiers like raindrops. A gap was quickly opened and Zhao Ling's cavalry was released.
Zhao Ling gathered the cavalry and re-formed the formation. When he saw the number of people, his heart was bleeding. Two thousand cavalrymen lost at least more than one hundred people, and hundreds were injured.
These teams of refugees rely on the large number of people and use ropes, long spears and other methods to cause huge damage to the people.
Seeing that An Shirong could not take advantage, he led his army into the Qingshi tent and disappeared, and even the hundreds of wounded soldiers on the ground were ignored.
Chao Gai led his troops to come up at this time, and Zhao Ling had no face, but he dared to admit his mistake.
Zhao Ling turned over and dismounted and bowed.
"The last general did not listen to the military order and was ambushed. He asked Chao Tuanjian to punish him."
It is impossible to punish it. Chao Gai was a regiment and punished a deputy general of the regular army of the Western Army. You should know that two thousand cavalrymen are a very high military position.
Chao Gai returned the favor: "Deputy General Zhao is so serious. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. A little bit of trivial matter is not worth mentioning. Hurry up and arrange for the treatment of the injured."
Chao Gai waved his hand and asked the medical soldiers riding mules to come up. There were more than 100 people, including more than a dozen doctors, and the other hundreds were all medical soldiers.
Holding ointment, gauze, and hemostatic medicine, start treating the wound.
There is no need to say that the wounded soldiers of the Western Army are definitely given priority treatment.
What surprised Zhao Ling was that Chao Gai actually treated Tian Hu's wounded soldiers. There were quite a lot of wounded soldiers, with more than 500 people.
Medical conditions are limited, and serious injuries are definitely inactive, but minor injuries are relatively easy to get through, such as bandage, stop bleeding, and apply medicine. Most of them can survive.
Gongsun Sheng was compassionate and started to treat more than a dozen injured soldiers.
Zhao Ling's soldiers were busy plundering spoils, change, gold and silver, and jewelry.
This is a compulsory course after the battle, but Chao Gai's side remained motionless.
Chao Gai asked: "Deputy General Zhao, what do you think will be handled well with these enemy wounded soldiers?"
Zhao Ling thought for a moment when he saw the question: "There is a difference between Tian Hu's army and the Western Xia enemy soldiers. After all, these are all refugees. Since Chao Tuanjian has rescued him, he will definitely not be able to cut him down. But if we don't have the conditions, let them go back and disturb the enemy."
"Just follow the method of Deputy General Zhao."
Chao Gai gathered the enemy wounded soldiers together and asked loudly: "The wound has been bandaged and the medicine has been applied. Do you want to die or live?"
Everyone didn't say anything, and they scolded in their hearts that this was not nonsense. They wanted to die long ago and were waiting for you to heal your wounds.
"We want to live, please forgive me, please forgive me."
"If you want to live, go back. Those who have homes go home, and those who don't go wandering."
As soon as they scattered, dozens of people stayed and knelt there and begged: "Please take us in, we are homeless. We will definitely have to go to the battlefield to fight when we go back. Sooner or later we will die. We are born in farming, so where can we fight?"
