Chapter 623: Retreat
This thought flashed in Liu Shiyang's heart, although it was very tempting, but Liu Shiyang could only think about it in his heart! Now that the two armies are fighting, it is simply impossible to surrender in battle!
He is just a scholar, he has no power to restrain the chicken, he can usually be majestic on a woman, but it is difficult to move an inch on the battlefield, and it is impossible to come to the front of the imperial army!
Not to mention that King Ning found out that he had the idea of surrendering to the imperial court, he would definitely kill him with one arrow, even if he came to the front of the imperial army, it is estimated that he has not yet made a sound, and there are a few more transparent holes on his body!
So at the moment, it's important to save your life first, since the army has shown defeat, it's better to withdraw the troops earlier, otherwise it won't be beautiful if he throws his life here in the end!
"Lord Wang! Now that the war is not favorable to our army, it is advisable to retreat for the time being, and the whole army will fight again! Liu Shiyang hurriedly persuaded.
The battle has reached this level, and King Ning has long had the intention of withdrawing his troops, but he boasted about Haikou at the beginning and came with confidence, but now he can't save face if he wants to withdraw his troops!
At this time, after listening to Liu Shiyang's advice, he was naturally very moved, but King Ning still frowned and said: "This king is the commander of the army, how can he retreat lightly?" ”
"Lord Wang, this battle is unfavorable because you don't know enough about the enemy army and are not prepared, so you are at a disadvantage! In this way, the prince must save his troops, find out the flaws in the imperial army, and fight again to win! Besides, now the battlefield is in chaos, the two armies are stuck together, and the cavalry of the imperial court is eyeing each other! Lord Wang, your dragon body is important! Don't be in danger! Liu Shiyang said bitterly.
The surrounding soldiers also persuaded one after another, and King Ning was already very moved, so he half-pushed and half-agreed when he heard the words.
"What the prime minister said makes a lot of sense! This war is not well understood about the army of the imperial court, so this time it is slightly at a disadvantage, and even so, there is no need to waste troops like this! The king ordered the army to retreat, and ordered, after the Song Sledgehammer was broken! King Ning said in a deep voice.
After the general order was issued, King Ning's personal barracks immediately began to protect King Ning and began to retreat! Wherever the military order went, the battalions scrambled to start retreating!
Zhang Zhijie sat on the horse, and saw every move of King Ning's army very clearly, as soon as King Ning's personal barracks moved, Zhang Zhijie immediately understood that King Ning was about to withdraw his troops!
The battle has reached this level, and King Ning's army has no chance of winning, and it is common sense to withdraw his troops! In fact, withdrawing troops right now is indeed the best option!
King Ning's army was not a camp in the first place, it was completely chaotic, and this withdrawal was undoubtedly a big rout, and this was a big victory for Zhang Zhijie! But after Zhang Zhijie saw that King Ning began to withdraw his troops, he didn't feel too much joy!
Defeating King Ning's army was expected, in fact, when the cavalry battalion broke up King Ning's army, Zhang Zhijie knew that this big victory had been divided!
When Zhang Zhijie's rear army began to engage King Ning's army, King Ning's army was a mess, and it could not threaten the battle formation of his army at all!
As long as one of your battle formations does not advance out of joint, it is impossible for the battle formation to be broken away under the mutual echo! Even if a certain battle formation is out of touch, there is still a cavalry battalion on the side that can be reinforced!
So at that time, Zhang Zhijie was already sure that the winner had been divided! So now that he saw that King Ning's army had begun to withdraw, and it was about to be defeated, Zhang Zhijie didn't have much joy in his heart, but had some regrets!
It's a pity that King Ning's army retreated so early, if he insisted on refusing to retreat, Zhang Zhijie's army would definitely be able to defeat more of King Ning's troops.
Of course, Zhang Zhijie also knew that it was impossible, it was impossible for King Ning to know that he was already going to be defeated, and he was stupid enough to die here and lose all his troops.
In this way, King Ning's army withdrew from Queen Cang, and the girl ran away, and Zhang Zhijie's army had to maintain a formation, so it was impossible to keep up with the speed of their escape.
Catch up unless you disarm the formation! Zhang Zhijie just gave up this idea after thinking about it for a few breaths! According to the news obtained from Jinyiwei, although King Ning's army is very loose, it is difficult to line up, and it is not possible to attack the city! But there is something to be desired, that is, the ability to fight in chaos is relatively strong!
If his army disperses and chases after him, if King Ning kills a horse pistol, and both armies disperse to engage in battle, Zhang Zhijie's army will have to suffer a big loss! Even if you can't suffer a big loss, it's a lose-lose situation!
Take your own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths, and the wise don't do it! So Zhang Zhijie gave up the idea of letting his army chase after him! But it's not so easy to let go!
Zhang Zhijie immediately ordered the cavalry to pursue! It's just a pity that Zhang Zhijie has too few cavalry in his hands, and even if he lets the cavalry pursue, he can't get great results!
Although King Ning's army was defeated, most of it was there, and if it finally got stuck, it wasn't that it couldn't eat this cavalry!
Therefore, Zhang Zhijie's order was to let the main force of the cavalry Yu Ning keep a distance and cover the kill! Although the army was defeated and retreated, it must have been King Ning's main force that was the first to flee, followed by the team with insufficient strength!
Therefore, Zhang Zhijie ordered the cavalry to cover up and kill the men and horses dragged behind, these soldiers and horses were already panicked, and they fled wholeheartedly, and it was impossible to turn back to meet them!
After all, cavalry has the advantage of cavalry, that is, it is highly mobile, and it can pounce on it from time to time to bite and then ride away! Therefore, Zhang Zhijie did not have much worry about the cavalry that was chasing away.
In fact, after King Ning's army retreated, people have been paying attention to the movements of the imperial army behind! Up to now, King Ning is still unwilling in his heart, if Zhang Zhijie really leads the army to pursue rapidly, he will inevitably sacrifice the formation!
In this case, King Ning really planned to kill the horse pistol and fight with Zhang Zhijie's army, he didn't believe it, if Zhang Zhijie's army lost its formation, it would still be able to go to the sky!
But to the disappointment of King Ning, Zhang Zhijie did not lead the army to pursue, and King Ning was also relieved to be disappointed, at least today's battle is over! Not only King Ning breathed a sigh of relief, but Liu Shiyang and others were relieved, it was really frustrating on the battlefield just now, their army was so powerful in the face of the army of the imperial court that they had nowhere to fight back, they could only be slaughtered everywhere, this battle was really aggrieved!
But it didn't take long for this breath to be relieved, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded behind it, obviously this was the cavalry battalion of the imperial court catching up! It turned out that Zhang Zhijie didn't dare to lead the army to pursue in person, so he actually sent the cavalry battalion out to pursue!
