Remy azabao was not surprised by the active retreat of the wind army. Even if he arrived at the wind army a few days ago, he would start a final decisive battle. If he could win, he would win. If he couldn't win, he would have to retreat. Now, as expected.
He was confident, but other duki generals didn't think so. Looking at the calm wind army camp, the camp and tent were there, and even the brocade flags in the camp were not few. It didn't seem that the wind army had withdrawn.
A Duke general asked anxiously, "our army has not received the news of the retreat of the wind army. How does the general know?"
Remy azabao glanced at him, raised his head and said, "at this time of weekdays, the wind army has already started cooking. Now you can see that there is cooking smoke in the wind camp?"
Hearing this, all the generals were surprised and looked closely. Isn't it? There aren't any fireworks in the Fengjun camp. No wonder it makes people feel that the camp is still alive, but it's lack of vitality. That's why. Another general whispered, "general, this... Can't be the trick of Feng Jun envoy?"
Remy azabao was lazy to answer his subordinates' questions. He said coldly, "if anyone talks more and disturbs my army, I'll nail his head to the flagpole!"
In a word, the generals were scared and shrunk their necks. They didn't dare to question half a sentence again.
Remy azabao led about 80000 Duji troops out of the company camp and went straight to the Fengjun camp opposite. He did not send scouts in advance to find out whether the camp was empty or not, and led the army to rush in directly. Remy azabao is really good at calculation, and he is bold and careful. The trend of the wind army is basically in his expectation.
At present, even the shadow of the wind soldier and the wind general can not be found in the wind army camp. All the tents are empty, with sundries scattered all over the ground. Nearly 300 stone throwers and broken city crossbows are abandoned in the camp. In the warehouse, tens of thousands of weapons, armor and military uniforms will be taken away in the future.
Seeing this, Sergeant dukey was all excited and started a crazy robbery. People wanted to take more and use it as their booty when they returned home.
Remy azabao quickly handed down a military order that the wind army's supplies should not be taken by its own officers and soldiers. The whole army passed through the camp and continued to pursue and kill the wind army. At the same time, he sent his own elite 30000 cavalry to take the lead in chasing and killing out, hoping to catch up with the wind army as soon as possible with the speed of cavalry and drag it down. Then, he sent a message to the flying pigeons in Val Town, so that the 30000 duki troops stationed there poured out to meet the wind troops who had fled. In any case, the wind troops could not repeat their old skills, pass around the town and withdraw smoothly.
Now he is a hundred times more confident, that is, he wants to wipe out all the three water armies, and frighten the wind country at one breath, so that the wind country can understand the end of being an enemy with duki, so as to save trouble for his own side in the future.
Although duki and besa share the same origin, they differ greatly in arms. Duki cavalry are all light cavalry. In the desert, there is no room for heavy cavalry. Under the command of Remy azabao, the duki cavalry was led by two duki generals, Kamal and Zoe, and chased out like a whirlwind.
The retreat of Sanshui army was an hour earlier than the pursuit of Duji army. The whole army went into battle without baggage and light equipment, but even so, it still couldn't run away from Duji's light cavalry.
Just at noon, the spies behind the hall ran back to the army and reported to Liang Qi that a large number of cavalry came up behind.
Liang Qiwen said that he was also surprised. Du Jijun pursued and killed much faster than he expected. Bai Yong asked nervously, "how many enemy cavalry?"
"It's not clear yet, but listen to the sound of its hoofs, at least tens of thousands of riders!"
Bai Yong took a breath and murmured, "it seems that the enemy has sent out all the cavalry..." after a pause, he immediately said to Liang Qi: "general, Duji cavalry is very fast. If our army doesn't divide behind the hall, I'm afraid it won't take long for the enemy to chase up!"
In the era of cold weapons, the power of cavalry is too great. It is a concept with armored soldiers in modern war. If it is chased by duki cavalry, the Sanshui army dominated by infantry will suffer a great loss. Bai Yong understands this, and Liang Qi naturally understands it. He answered thoughtfully.
Bai Yong bit his lips and said, "the general will lead the army to withdraw first and will lead 10000 brothers to stay behind the palace!"
Before Liang Qi finished, Shangguan yuanrang sneered and asked, "how long can you stop the enemy after you leave the hall? Half an hour? Or an hour?"
Although Shangguan yuanrang's words are unpleasant, they are also true. He led 10000 infantry to block tens of thousands of cavalry, and has not resisted horses or earth bases for defense. It's good to block each other for half an hour. Bai Yong said, "there's no way to do this. It's as long as you can stop the enemy..."
"Forget it! There are enough brothers killed in our army. If you want to commit suicide, you don't have to pull 10000 brothers as a cushion!" Shangguan yuanrang said to Liang Qi, "our army still has ten thousand cavalry. I choose five thousand brothers and leave the cavalry to hold the enemy down."
After hearing this, Liang Qi, who has been silent, immediately answered, "please let yuan let you." In Liang Qi's heart, it's useless for anyone to stay behind the palace. Only shangguanyuan let him stay. There may be a glimmer of hope.
Bai Yong grinned and said anxiously, "this... This is too dangerous!"
Shangguan yuanrang couldn't help smiling up and said, "but who will do all the dangerous tasks if I don't do them? Isn't that why Liang Qi asked the king to send me with the army?"
When he said the central thing, Liang Qi was not red and out of breath. On the contrary, he had the cheek to praise: "those who know me, Yuan rang!"
Shangguanyuan gave him a white look and swallowed the curse back to his mouth.
He went to the cavalry square of the Sanshui army. First, he explained that he wanted to pick out 5000 people to stay behind the temple and stop duki's pursuit. Then he asked them who would stay with him. None of the ten thousand cavalry was afraid of the battle. They urged their horses to take a step forward and all expressed their willingness to stay. Shangguanyuan nodded and asked the cavalry skilled in riding and shooting to line up.
Most of the 10000 cavalry soldiers are listed. In the wind country, riding and shooting is one of the basic skills of cavalry. As for whether they are proficient or not, no one is willing to admit that they are weaker than others. Seeing so many people out of the line, Shangguan yuanrang was a little embarrassed. After thinking about it for a while, he eliminated all those who were only sons, unmarried or had no children. In the end, there were only about 4000 horses left. He said with satisfaction: "you stay with me, other brothers, retreat with the army quickly!"
The Sanshui army continued to retreat quickly along the original road. Shangguan yuanrang led about 4000 cavalry to stay behind the hall. The spies of Tianyan and underground network kept returning the enemy's location and information to him like a lantern.
Now the spy has basically determined that there are about 30000 cavalry in Duji. Shangguanyuan can't think of a good way to use 4000 cavalry to drag the other party's 30000 cavalry.
There were only three thousand captains among the four thousand cavalry. Shangguan yuanrang called them close to him and said, "when you will fight with the enemy, you will take your brothers with me. When I rush to kill, you will rush to kill with me. When I retreat, you will retreat with me, okay?"
"Yes! General!" Three commanders arched their hands together.
"In this war, if we can fight, we will fight. If we can't fight, we will fight while retreating. We will try our best to use arrows to consume the enemy!" Shangguanyuan let zhengse say: "Duji cavalry are good at throwing, but the range is far less than arrow shooting. This is our chance."
The three commanders nodded again and said, "we understand."
Shangguanyuan asked him to explain the tactics he thought feasible, and then immediately stood in the road with a horizontal knife, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.
Before I saw the enemy, I first saw the high dust rolled up in the distance. At the same time, the rumbling thunder kept coming, and the sound became louder and louder. Gradually, the ground began to shake. At this time, shangguanyuan rang and others began to feel uneasy when they stepped down and kicked down the ground with their hooves from time to time.
Shangguanyuan asked to stabilize the horse, slightly narrowed his eyes, slowly raised the three pointed and two edged knife in his hand, and shouted without looking back: "go up the arrow!"
Hua La - with his order, four thousand wind cavalry took down their bows and arrows one after another, put them on the strings, and the arrows were aligned in mid air ahead.
The speed of the dukey cavalry was amazing. It was two miles away just now, but in the blink of an eye, the figure of its vanguard force had emerged in the eyes of everyone.
Shangguan yuanrang is not a wise general who gives advice and strategies, but he has rich experience in the battlefield. He knows when to shoot an arrow and when to charge.
Seeing that the distance of the enemy was almost the same, he raised his long knife in mid air and fell fiercely, shouting, "shoot an arrow!"
Buzz!
Four thousand carved feathers soared behind him. When they reached the extreme, the arrows drew arcs in the air and fell into the camp of duki cavalry.
Pounce, pounce, pounce - for a moment, there was a muffled noise in the duki cavalry camp. People shouted and screamed. Some soldiers were shot off the horses on the spot, some were shot with arrows, and even people and horses rolled forward. As soon as they struggled to stand up, many soldiers who had fallen but not died were knocked out by their companions who rushed up from behind.
After only one round of arrow array, half of the hundreds of duki cavalry running in front fell off with an arrow, but the remaining cavalry were not flustered, but strengthened their strength to charge forward.
Next, they have to bear the arrow array of the wind army in the second and third rounds.
A large number of duki cavalry were shot into hedgehogs in the process of charging. The knights who had just shouted to kill in the crowd may disappear in an instant, leaving only empty horses, and in the end, they can't even find a complete body.
Against the wind's arrows, the dukey cavalry rushed within twenty steps of the wind, and then they were in their range. The Ducky cavalry running in front threw out their long guns and spears with all their strength, and then returned to draw out their machetes and swords and continue to kill.
When the two sides are far away, the throwing can not exert its power, but within 20 steps, the throwing power of duki cavalry can not be underestimated. Long guns and spears fly into the wind army group. As long as they are stabbed by them, the whole person will be pierced off the war horse and nailed to the ground alive.
