Chapter 1089 - Leaving No Grass Behind
Liu Mao struggled to get up, but when he exerted a little force, his right leg was a heart-piercing pain, and he couldn't stand up at all. Liu Mao couldn't get up, so he could only stretch out his hand to the soldiers around him, hoping that they could pull him.
It stands to reason that Liu Mao is the chief general of this army, and no one dares to disobey his orders, but now that the chaos is at hand, everyone only cares about their own lives, and even the personal soldiers around Liu Mao have long been gone, plus Liu Mao is usually domineering, and he is more mean to his subordinates.
Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves was like a talisman, knocking on Liu Mao's heart, he howled desperately and helplessly, and pitifully reached out and begged the soldiers to help him.
But the majestic Taishou on weekdays has now become a dying pitiful worm, and many people turn a blind eye to him, hurrying by, and even a few who look at him are all indifferent and disdainful, and even schadenfreude.
Liu Mao struggled to crawl forward, but the broken right leg made him unable to exert his strength at all, and it took a lot of effort to move forward only a few feet.
And the cavalry behind him was already roaring, like the autumn wind sweeping through the fallen leaves, everything was swept away.
Of course Liu Mao didn't want to die, he raised his right hand and waved it, as if he had the intention of surrendering to the Bingzhou army, but in the eyes of the iron cavalry of the tun cavalry camp, Liu Mao was as small as an ant, and no one paid attention to him at all, and the war horse of the tun cavalry camp crushed over his body in an instant, trampling Liu Mao into a pile of flesh and bones.
The appearance of the Yue Cavalry Battalion and the Tun Cavalry Battalion instantly turned the situation of the entire battlefield, and they swept and crushed the two armies of Gong Zun and Liu Mao in a destructive manner, and pushed towards Wang Qi's army.
Before that, the task of the Xiaocai battalion was to drag the enemy and not let the enemy escape, so Wen Qin has been holding back, even if he has the strength to defeat the Youzhou army, he can't fully show it, and maintain restraint as much as possible, giving the enemy an illusion, so that Wang Qi will continue to attack and not retreat early in a hurry.
But the cavalry battalion can't deliberately rout, so that their army has too many losses, so to grasp this degree, in fact, it is quite difficult, Wen Qin tried his best to maneuver, and always maintained the situation at a relatively balanced level, so that Wang Qi kept hope, but also could not see hope.
After the arrival of the two major reinforcements of the Yue Cavalry Battalion and the Tun Cavalry Battalion, Wen Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he no longer had to hide it, and ordered the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to join the counterattack and attack Wang Qi's army with all his might.
Wang Ji is also a smart person, he knows very well that with the current strength of the Youzhou Army, it is extremely difficult to take down the Xiaocai Battalion, and at this moment, the two major reinforcements of the Hezhou Army re-enter the battle group, let alone want to win, even if they can escape their lives, they are probably extremely lucky.
Wang Ji immediately made a decision and gave orders to Gong Zun and Liu Mao, telling them to retreat quickly and not to fight.
To this day, Wang Ji still doesn't understand that this battle was a deception by the Bingzhou army from beginning to end, deliberately going deep alone to lure the snake out of the hole. But he couldn't resist the temptation and tried to eat the vanguard of the state army in one fell swoop.
I thought that this battle would be extremely smooth, after all, in terms of numbers, the Youzhou army had an absolute advantage, but as soon as Fang fought, Wang Ji knew that he had kicked the iron plate, and the combat effectiveness of the Xiao cavalry battalion was far from being comparable to their Youzhou army.
But despite this, Wang Ji was still very unwilling, he tried his best, prepared to fight to the death, and used the tactics of the sea of people to pile up the Xiao cavalry camp.
But Wang Ji's last wish was ultimately frustrated, and with the addition of the Yue Cavalry Battalion and the Tun Cavalry Battalion, the situation was abruptly reversed, and Wang Ji finally realized that this was just a complete trap for the Bingzhou Army, and he was completely fooled.
In this case, if Wang Qi continued to fight, it would be really stupid, he hurriedly ordered the whole line to retreat, but Gong Zun and Liu Mao had not received his order, they had both been killed, and the army led by Gong Zun and Liu Mao was also annihilated by the Bingzhou army in a very short time, only a very small part of the people escaped, and most of the rest died or surrendered.
The situation on both sides is completely different, most of the men and horses of Gongzun surrendered, and Liu Mao's army was almost wiped out, and there were few survivors, no matter what the situation was, just the strength of the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion showed that Wang Ji was palpitating, taking advantage of the attack of the Bingzhou army had not yet arrived, retreating at this moment was the best opportunity, once he hesitated, it was too late to leave.
The Youzhou army was defeated like a mountain and left in a hurry, and this time the Xiaocai battalion immediately burst out of their speed advantage, chased wildly, and covered all the way.
How could Wang Ji dare to fight at this time, in the face of the pursuit of the Xiaocai battalion, he didn't dare to turn back to fight at all, he could only flee for his life, as for the pursuers behind him, naturally someone arrived.
Wang Ji's so-called "someone", that is, refers to the Youzhou soldiers who are left behind, Wang Ji did not deliberately arrange who to break the queen, this is not Wang Ji's inaction, but the scene at that time was extremely chaotic, the soldiers did not see the generals, the soldiers did not see the soldiers, it was completely scattered, and Wang Ji had no one to send at all.
At this time, who can still take care of the formation lineup, and the ability shown by the state army when attacking the two wings of the Youzhou army makes these Youzhou soldiers look frightened, such an army, touch and die, next to each other, whoever escapes fast and escapes far, who has a way to live, so the Youzhou army has run away, for fear that they will fall behind and be eaten away by the Bingzhou army.
But no matter what, there will always be a part of the army left behind, and in the face of the endless pursuit of the state army, the chances of survival of the army behind are already very slim.
The best thing the Xiao cavalry battalion is at speed and mobility, the mobility Youzhou army has seen it, but the speed has not had the opportunity to see before, although the Xiao cavalry battalion has also had an impact, but it has not reflected their highest speed.
At this moment, the Youzhou army fled by the road, and the Xiao cavalry battalion pursued relentlessly, mercilessly killing the Youzhou army, unless the opponent was willing to dismount and surrender, otherwise, the Xiao cavalry battalion pursued all the way, and where it passed, there was not an inch of grass left!
