Chapter 578: Three Birds with One Stone

"Quick, gather the cavalry, and prepare to retreat. By the way, inform Li Min and Shen Kun that they can do it. After complaining, Fan Yuhai quickly regained his composure and gave orders one by one.

The mercenary's attack was so sudden that he didn't even have time to prepare. With his intuition, the outcome of this battle was already foreordained. That is, it must be defeated, so how to preserve one's strength is the most important thing. All other armies can be lost, and they can only be lost, even the five thousand cavalry cannot be thrown here, and with the speed of the war horses, they can completely withdraw safely.

Under Fan Yuhai's order, five thousand cavalry soon gathered, and then protected Fan Yuhai and left the barracks, not even entering Sangnu City behind him, but turned around and fled in other directions. Obviously, he is still very self-aware, and knows that a city cannot stop the footsteps of mercenaries with strong combat power.

At the moment when he retreated with the cavalry, hundreds of figures were walking in the opposite direction, and the leaders were Li Min and Shen Kun, who had a more important mission to complete.

Compared with Fan Yuhai's decisiveness, Sang Wengla's reaction was a few beats slower. He was woken up in his sleep, saying that the mercenaries had killed him, he did not flee at the first time, but began to command the soldiers in his hands to counterattack, and at the same time arranged for someone to bring those captive Han people, he wanted to kill the Han people in front of the mercenaries, kill the other party until they were cold, and kill the other party had to retreat again.

The law is beautiful, but the reality is shocking. Sang-la had forgotten how powerful the enemy he was up against, and that the opposing soldiers had managed to provoke him when he forced them back during the day. How likely is it that an order can be executed?

Like a tiger descending from the mountain, the main force of the second and third regiments of the cold front is like two sharp knives plunging straight into the heart of the enemy. After only a little sporadic resistance, they rescued four Han groups one after another, and there were about 1,000 Han people in each group.

These captive Han people are like encircled cattle, fixed by a few wooden stakes, even when waiting for Leng Feng to kill, none of them dare to try to break through a few scattered wooden stakes, just from this point of view, they are simply a group of "zombies" without fighting spirit.

Fortunately, these people not only listened to the enemy, but also listened to the mercenaries, and when those slogans sounded, they fell to the ground one by one tremblingly, and there was a big picture that if you kill me, I will not get up. This allows them to dodge bullets flying everywhere, ensuring their safety to the greatest extent.

Some enemies were still intimidating, and even killed a few people with swords, trying to force these Han people to stand up. But obviously all this is so futile, in the face of the Han people who have long been frightened, their words have long been useless. Even if he waved the butcher knife in his hand, it was just to kill a few more hostages who did not dare to resist.

When they found that the Han people could no longer be hostages, and the mercenaries were advancing faster and faster, and they were about to kill them, the Lancang soldiers had no choice but to retreat. Without the hostages in hand, the mercenaries can exert 100% combat power, and they are already not afraid of their counterattack.

On the Chinese position, Sang Weng La took the initiative to enter the battlefield, and took his personal guards to command the 100,000 Lancang migrant workers who were awakened from their sleep, and asked them to use catapults to counterattack.

"General, our soldiers are in a fight with the mercenaries, and if this stone falls, it will hurt the enemy and his own brother." A captain saw that this was an indiscriminate attack, so he came up with a nervous face to persuade him.

"Fuck off. It is also an honor for our soldiers to be able to fight to the death with mercenaries. Come on, get on the stone, throw it at me, throw it! Sang Weng La had already learned the news that Fan Yuhai had fled with the cavalry, and he was extremely angry at this moment. The world thinks mercenaries are invincible, right? Then I will use my strength to defeat them and tell the world that our Lancang soldiers are the strongest.

100,000 migrant workers came to the catapult one after another, pushing the boulders prepared during the day one by one, and then the boulders flew sideways in the air. It looks like it's huge. But in the dark of this night, and without any professional training, such a catapult has no accuracy at all, and it is completely where it hits.

The stones flew in all directions, whistling over the heads of the people, and then fell to the ground and smashed into huge craters, forming a lot of pressure on all the soldiers in the battlefield.

"They are so ruthless, they even smash their own people. Quick, speed up with me, as long as you rush in front of the catapult, these things are useless. Wu Sheng watched a big rock fly over his head and smashed it more than ten meters behind him, he couldn't help grinning, gasped, and then quickly made a judgment and commanded the army to start speeding up.

Dashi put a lot of pressure on the mercenaries, and also put pressure on the more than 40,000 troops abandoned by the Lancang soldiers and Fan Yuhai. When they saw the boulders falling, these people, who had originally thought that they would fight with the mercenaries with a large number of people, turned around and ran.

What are you kidding, this big stone is not long-sighted at all. Don't be stoned to death by a boulder before you see the mercenary, how unjust must it be?

Sang Weng, who originally wanted to turn the tide of the battle with the help of catapults, did not know that this act actually caused the army in front to be the first to be defeated, so that the mercenaries in the charge had entered a no-man's land, and they did not encounter the crazy resistance they imagined, and they were getting closer and closer to the enemy's Chinese army for a while.

The second and third regiments are like two sharp knives coming straight up; The auxiliaries of the twenty battalions were like a large net, pushed sideways and backwards; The 30,000 Vietnamese mercenaries were at the end, constantly rescuing the Hermes-Epitek and dealing with some small groups of people who had slipped through the net.

It is worth mentioning here that the previous two million silver were indeed not spent in vain. Under the deliberate instruction of the national teacher Long Qi, although the Lancang soldiers who got the weapons, but they were only half-finished, when they encountered the influx of Vietnamese mercenaries and set up a position to fight with them, they found that the big swords and spears in their hands were broken into two after only three or five touches.

The weakness of the weapon gave the Lancang soldiers a heavy blow, how could they be the opponent of steel knives and iron guns with their bare hands, so I don't know how many Lancang soldiers died with hatred, they were not defeated in combat power, nor in courage, but in logistics supply.

The speed of the two main cold front regiments is too fast, and everyone seems to be intended

Holding his breath, the speed of the advance was rapid, but whenever he encountered resistance, it was an unceremonious shooting, and there was no chance for the enemy to get closer. Only half an hour later, it broke through the front army and came to the land of the Chinese army.

The arrival of the cold fronts was like a bamboo, and they came to the trebuchet as if they had no way into the human realm, and the Lancang migrant workers here fled in all directions, and even General Sang Weng La withdrew to the Sang Nu City behind him under the protection of a group of personal soldiers. There are still 50,000 troops he left behind in the city, and he has the strength to fight.

The company rushed for more than ten miles, entering the middle camp from the enemy's front barracks, and then entering the rear barracks, and the cold fronts were unstoppable. This time, the combat power they displayed made the enemy refresh their opinion of them again.

"Cool!" Seeing that the enemy was bombarded back into Sangnu City, in addition to his dear comrades-in-arms, there were groups of kneeling prisoners of war, Wu Sheng, the commander of the third regiment, couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar. But then he threw himself on the ground. Shouting cool is accompanied by really tired.

Even after chasing the enemy for more than ten miles, the sky was just dawning. In other words, in just three hours, they even ran this far. Not to mention running for more than ten miles, you have to keep charging, facing all kinds of problems that may arise, and it is difficult for the cold fronts to do it in normal times. This time, it was precisely because of the strong morale of the army, coupled with the anger that I had held back before, that I had the current result of surpassing the completion of the task.

Commander Wu Sheng didn't know that all this was in Yang Chendong's calculations. He knew better than anyone else whether those Han people would appear or not, so he had the reluctance to retreat during the day and suddenly return at night.

The officers were also part of his plan. In this way, it can not only offset the other party's hostage in this card, but also maximize the morale of the outstanding soldiers, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

No! It should kill three birds with one stone. Because it was these officers who asked for war first, he reluctantly agreed to send troops, so that even if the Han hostages suffered large casualties, no one would blame him.

Some people may know this and think that this is a traitorous male mentality. But since ancient times, where there are immortals in the world, war has never been about you advancing and retreating, I advancing and retreating, and there will always be all kinds of interests and problems in the middle, such as what is the art of war 36 strategies, fighting spirit and courage, you yin me, I yin you are all normal things. On the contrary, history is always written by the victors, no matter how regular you are, once you lose, it is inevitable that others will say that you are pedantic. On the contrary, as long as you don't use a method that hurts the harmony of heaven and wins, others will say that you are wise, that you are smart, and that you are even great.

This is history, and this is the so-called "real" history that posterity can see. At this time, Yang Chendong won, he is undoubtedly great, but what others don't know is that such a great person is now experiencing a life-and-death crisis.

Li Min, Shen Kun. One is the righteous son of the former King of Cochin, and the other is a high-ranking killer sent by the Northern Ming. Originally, these were two people who had nothing to do with each other, and even the lifeline would not be entangled in the slightest, but because of a common goal, they actually joined forces, and this goal was to kill Yang Chendong.
