Chapter 132 The Sheep

The soldiers who fled in panic and the cavalry who rode their horses to pursue started a battle royale in the wilderness. Many Eastern Army soldiers actually did not want to escape, but after the army collapsed, everyone ran away and they had to run away.

Escape on the battlefield does not need to run too fast, it only needs to be faster than others. No matter how bad it is, it is okay to not fall at the end. However, the Western cavalry chased each other and seemed to be difficult to escape, so some Eastern soldiers gathered together to try to resist and seek survival in a dangerous situation.

However, the small formation organized in such a hasty manner was defeated one by one by the pursued Western cavalry.

Shi Longsui, the marching general manager who led the cavalry to pursue, would not give the other party any chance to counterattack. He asked his subordinates to cooperate with each other to pursue each other and "smooth" the defeated soldiers who might gather at any time.

When the Battle of Mangshan was defeated, the young Shi Wansui escaped from the battle royale. Not only that, he also took his father and subordinates to escape from the battlefield successfully. He could guess what the defeated soldiers were thinking, so he would never let the other party succeed.

The soldiers who ran away were not cared about, and those who shouted loudly that they were suspected of gathering their companions must be killed immediately. As for the soldiers who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, they were left to the infantry behind to capture them. The heads must not be rushed to be cut.

Shi Wansui wanted to completely defeat the will of the defeated soldiers, so that the other party could understand that there was no way to escape, resistance was death, and surrender could at least save his life, so even if there were only hundreds of cavalry, he was confident that he would capture thousands of people.

Not to mention that our side has already won a great victory, and the troops of all units are pursuing the defeated soldiers separately. This great victory should be an annihilation battle and must not evolve into a defeated war.

The so-called annihilation does not necessarily mean killing all the enemies. Capturing the enemy is also considered annihilation. Anyway, these defeated soldiers cannot be allowed to escape.

After working hard for a day, Shi Wansui didn't want the enemy soldiers to escape back and gather together. He had to fight another decisive battle after a while.

The right-wing cavalry led by him had already chased the defeated enemy troops to pieces. The infantry that followed cut off many heads and captured many prisoners. The commander of the right army, Han Qinhu, the marching general, saw his central army and left army defeated the enemy one after another. More enemy soldiers were defeated, and immediately adjusted their strategy.

Given his pursuit of the enemy in front of him, he led his troops to the left (north) to intercept the fleeing enemy central and right army enemy soldiers.

Nowadays, no one will think that there are few people in the head. Therefore, for the Western Army, as long as they stand in the wilderness, they can stop the enemy soldiers who are about to flee here.

The idea is good, but Han Qinhu knew it was too stupid to implement it: so many defeated soldiers were running wildly and were not interested in fighting, but whoever blocked their escape would cause unnecessary losses if they were anxious to jump over the wall.

Therefore, some skills are needed to capture prisoners efficiently and with low casualties. This is what Han Qinhu wants to teach his nephew Li Jing.

The nephew Li Yaowang has been in the army for many years and has rich practical experience. The other nephew Li Jing is familiar with military books, but he has never fought any decent battles. As his uncle, Han Qinhu wants to teach Li Jing some experiences that are not recorded in books.

It is definitely not possible to intercept the defeated soldiers head-on, and it is easy to be defeated by the opponent, so we have to attack sideways and chase these defeated soldiers on horseback. We have to take a chance to catch up with them when we are just a little bit but can't catch up, forcing the opponent to keep running.

After running like this for several miles, the legs became weak and panting, and he couldn't run any longer.

But the light tail is not enough, so you have to "whip" the opponent from time to time, that is, attack the outer edge of the defeated soldiers, and stab one or two people from time to time, which can cause more defeated soldiers to panic, regardless of their physical strength, until they are too tired to run.

When the opponent's physical strength has not been exhausted, you cannot hurry up and fight for the slash of the head and strive for merit. In order to avoid this, the cavalry should use a wooden stick to defeat the back of the soldier's head and make him lose his combat effectiveness.

Of course, the wooden stick must be prepared in advance. The reason why the wooden stick is used is to save effort. After all, the iron mace is not light, and the arm will be sore after swinging it a few times. In order to avoid the subordinates robbing the head and delaying the military opportunity, they can only use the wooden stick to knock the enemy soldiers.

Otherwise, if everyone is scrambling to cut off the head, it will only allow more enemy soldiers to escape.

This kind of experience cannot be recorded in books, and it is entirely taught by oral means. Han Qinhu is a long-time general on the battlefield and attaches great importance to his nephew Li Jing, so he has to teach his experiences whenever he has the opportunity.

Li Jing understood his uncle's suggestions at first, so he took the initiative to follow the cavalry of his brother Li Yaowang to drive away the defeated soldiers and capture the prisoners.

The Western cavalry divided into many squads and approached the fleeing enemy soldiers, driving the crowd forward like driving away the flock.

In order to reduce the burden, many Eastern Army soldiers have taken off their armor and armor. Facing the cavalry wearing strong and held sharp edges, they have no courage to resist at all. They just want to run ahead of others and not become unlucky.

But the defeated soldiers were everywhere, and no one wanted to be left behind and was chopped down, so they ran faster than the other. In addition, the enemy cavalry was chasing each other and reluctantly, more and more people chose to run wildly, but after running for a distance, their legs became weak and they could not continue.

Faced with the "Surrender and not kill" that the pursuers behind him kept shouting, many soldiers gave up and stayed there and surrendered, but some people were active and wanted to surrender as they saw the Western cavalry approaching, and then tried to seize the horse.

Li Jing, who was riding his horse close to the enemy group, saw the enemy soldiers who were originally squatting on the ground holding their heads and suddenly stood up and rushed towards him. He turned his head calmly and rushed straight over.

He did not have a horse spear in his hand, he was holding a wooden stick, a sword at his waist, and a bow and arrow behind his saddle. If he tried to knock the other person with a wooden stick, he would easily be grabbed by the other person and pulled off the horse, so he chose to ride a horse and hit someone directly.

The last man held a spear and poked it at Li Jing. He let it go sideways and then grabbed the spear.

Both sides were competing, and Li Jing suddenly let go of the spear, causing the other party to fall back and fall to the ground. He rode his horse and trampled the other party, causing his chest to collapse and vomit blood to death. In just a moment, Li Jing dealt with several enemy soldiers who were eager to jump over the wall.

Several more defeated soldiers tried to rush up to steal the horses, but were knocked down by other cavalrymen and trampled into the dust. The other defeated soldiers were so scared that they hugged their heads and squatted on the ground, and honestly did not dare to do any extra moves.

Seeing that his younger brother performed well, King Li laughed and pointed the wooden stick in his hand forward: "Pharmacist, continue to drive the sheep!"

"good!"

Li Jing responded loudly, following his brother and galloping forward. The smell of blood on the battlefield made him excited. Fighting is much more interesting than hunting by flying eagles and lackeys. Only a broad battlefield can accommodate the ambitions in his heart.

Li Jing, the brave and good at fighting, had seen the brave and good King of Xiyang. He felt that the King of Xiyang's military use style was a bit strange, and often relied on some wonderful ideas to turn the situation around the war, and seemed not very good at using cavalry.

This may be due to insufficient cavalry, which made it difficult for the clever wife of Xiyang King to cook without rice. She could only choose to use her stairs to control her cavalry and rely on endless strategies to make up for the shortcomings of the army's narrow range of movement and insufficient movement speed.
